The Missing Bak Chang (I)

(Inspired by true events)

The bak chang was left inside the basket; without attracting any special attention. It was HJ’s breakfast and he decided to have it only after going to the washroom.

While he was away, several others passed by the pantry. Two of them actually remembered seeing the bak chang. However when HJ returned, the basket was empty.

Who took the bak chang?

Immediately a CSI team was created to perform Operation Missing Bak Chang. Different hypotheses were circulating among those in the office.

Could it be the cleaning auntie? Nope… she hasn’t come in yet.

Did anyone check the dustbin? The dustbin is full and no bak chang is found there.

If everyone were to be present, the natural suspect would be Kevin, the office’s serial chapatti eater. However he only arrived after the discovery and therefore could not be classified as a suspect.

This has evolved to be a case of whodunit. Everyone present in the office during that timeframe is a suspect.

Anybody could be the culprit.

To be continued…
