In a deaf room that had only a closed door and a high suction fan close to the ceiling, there was a mural of an island and a rusty bed. Sarah was drugged on the floor, her head in the direction of the painting.
She was approached by a girl with long hair dragging behind her chains tied to her feet, her clothes tattered and her hair covering her face.
After they met the nurse Jane, they got into the car, and Jan said: Where might she have gone?
Mark looked at him surprised: Don't tell me you believed her!
He replied: This is not what I meant, she hides a lot, and this is something we cannot deny, but Sarah's sudden disappearance after meeting her is strange.
He agreed and then said: I noticed her shoes and hair, dirty and untidy, this is not the nature of the nurses.
Jan: Yes, you're right... (The phone interrupted them, and he answered): Hello Zhao, are you here? Well, we're on our way there?
He turned off his phone, and Mark said, "What's the matter, did he go to see the old man?"
He scolded him, "Stop saying that he's, our Commander."
Mark sighed fidgetingly and said, "Come on, we have to hurry before the traffic begins."
He replied in a sharp tone: Am I your driver?
At the police station, the captain secretly met his team: and now tells me the latest news.
Zhao: I investigated Kyle and found out that his father was working for SJ Construction, after he had an accident, the company took care of his medical expenses. Since then, SJ Construction has been sending him money on his account every month.
Then Mark added: We have received a video of a kidnapping from Sarah. She looked like a girl tied up in a strange place, but we couldn't identify her because her head was covered. We can't reach Sarah yet.
He continued: We went to meet Jane because she was the last person Sarah met last night, but according to what Jane said, she didn't stay with her and left quickly.
The commander thought for a while and then said: May I see the video?
After watching it, he looked at them and said: This video was filmed in a place that resembles a warehouse for heavy products, the victim's clothes are swinging to the east, this means that it is located close to the eastern coast.
Then he asked them: What about her phone? Did you track it?
Mark answered: Yes, the last place we picked up her phone signal was at the Capital Hospital where Jane works, we checked the CCTV cameras, and we are waiting for the results.
Jan got up and said, "Then we'll check the east coasts."
He told them: Pay attention, every second counts in cases of kidnapping.
They got into the car, Zhao sat in the back and started checking the coasts and looking at the data, and Jan drove off quickly so they wouldn't waste a second.
After they got the information, they headed to Pattaya, which is located on the east coast of the Gulf of Thailand, about 165 km southeast of Bangkok.
It's been a long trip, but they must find Sarah quickly, they stopped in front of a warehouse that matches the specifications of the video, they entered it and found out that it was the same.
There was a chair in the middle of the warehouse and there were several shelves with the same materials that were in the video behind the victim.
Zhao: It's all here, that's the place, are we late?
Jan: I don't think so, the ropes are still here... (Picked them up and continued): They are not knotted.
Mark added: The strange thing about the matter is, there are footprints of one-person, small feet that are not of a man.
Zhao: That's weird, the feet are clearly visible, which means they weren't worried or forced, the owner of these feet played the fake kidnapping video trick.
They agreed with him, and Jan continued: But who would do this? And why?
Mark replied: Jane, No one else. The reason? It's simple so she can have enough time to hide Sarah and keep her out of sight.
Zhao said: We have received the results of the CCTV cameras of the Capital Hospital.
Before the sun went down, they reached the hospital, Jan stood in front of the receptionist and Mark was next to him. He showed his ID and said: We are from the police station, and we want to meet Nurse Jane.
Another nurse came before the employee answered and said to them: She has already resigned.
They turned to her in astonishment and asked her: When did she resign?
She responded to him: Yesterday evening, she met the general manager and submitted her resignation, saying that she had a better job opportunity.
Jan turned to him and said, "Then why did she come back this morning?"
The nurse answered him: She went back to collect the rest of her things, I think. After she met the general manager, she left immediately. She was in a hurry.
Mark advanced, "Have she met a young lady before she left?"
She thought for a moment, then said, "Yes!" She was a beautiful girl, I thought at first, she was her friend, but I heard them verbally quarrel and that young woman seemed angry and then left, then Jane went to the general manager and resigned.
The employee said to the nurse: But her behavior is strange, that girl was angry with her, and yet she got into the car with Jane.
The nurse said, "Yes, Was it a show or what?"
They thanked the employee and the nurse for their cooperation, and on their way to the general manager's office they read what they had received from Zhao and Mark said: Sarah came up after Jane threatened her!
Jan said: This is how she managed to kidnap her easily.
When Sarah arrived at the hospital, Jane came out to find her waiting in the hospital garden. Sarah approached her and said, "Why did you want to see me?"
She said, "There is something I want to tell you."
Sarah said: "I don't want to hear anything from you, everything you say is a lie.
She took a deep breath and said: I didn't intend to lie, but after you showed me that picture and told me about your relationship with Max, I found no other solution but to lie so that you might give up and run.
She replied: Run! Where? And for whom? I have already found him, and I'll go back home with him.
She asked her in amazement: How?! This is impossible.
She answered: Mr. Tan told me about my father's whereabouts. He knew from the beginning, but he kept it from me.
"Mr. Tan is a liar, you shouldn't believe him," she said in an angry tone.
She was astonished, then said sarcastically: Look who's talking!
She replied in an angry tone: You don't know what kind of people they are; they can kill anyone like they are nothing!
She said angrily: Since you know their truth, why did you work with them? I'm sure they're the reason your sister Mary disappeared.
She looked at the ground with a blank expression: You learned a lot... (She looked up at her and continued): You are just as annoying as her!
Her eyes widened in surprise at the sudden change in her expression: Unbelievable! It was you who killed Mary! Why did you play that role, the girl who is looking for her friend? Why did you make my father join your plan?
She replied: She was sticking her nose into things that didn't concern her! She is the one who brought this to herself. If she had ignored what was happening, it wouldn't have ended this way.
She replied: Do you think all people are as heartless as you! Has she researched and verified the nature of your work? Is that why you silenced her?
She looked away and sighed and then looked at her saying: She couldn't stand the nature of my work so she decided to file a report with the police, but in the end she became missing.
She said, angrily and disgusted: You're sick!
Jane looked at her as she was leaving and continued with a sly smile: You won't feel lonely anymore, sister.
She went up to the manager's office and resigned, then went back to her car and drove to the exit where Sarah was still there. Jane approached her and opened the window saying, "Miss!
Sarah turned towards her and was shocked to see the pistol in her hand pointed at her. She said to her: Get into the car calmly and you won't be hurt.
They knocked on the door and then sat in front of his office, Jan began the question, saying: What is the reason for the sudden resignation of Nurse Jane?
He replied: She told me that her family is facing some problems.
They looked at each other and Mark said, "How long has Nurse Jane been working here?"
He replied: I remember that she was the first in her class, she completed her years of training here and started working officially in 2016.
His assistant entered with some papers, saying: I'm sorry to interrupt, sir, but there are important papers you should sign today.
"Well," he said, leave them here and I will sign them.
As he signed some papers, Mark was looking at the wall full of certificates of thanks and appreciation behind his office, and he also had a cupboard with glass doors in which he put the rewards he had received, whether for his efforts as a doctor or the achievements of the hospital.
Then Mark said: I see that the hospital has received a lot of rewards and certificates of thanks, you must do your job perfectly.
He smiled and said: Thank you. Protecting lives is also my duty, helping everyone stay healthy is our motto.
Mark turned to the closet, fidgeting, "Yeah, yeah."
He sighed and went on: SJ Building Group funded your hospital with huge sums of money and even funded you with a scholarship so you could take your degree in America.
Reply: That's right, SJ Construction financed the hospital and helped us reach this stage. Without their help, we wouldn't have reached this point.
He smiled sarcastically, then said: What is the price?
He wondered, "The price of what?"
Mark said: The price of loyalty, Director General Michael!
He was a little confused, so he straightened his seat, saying: I don't know what you mean by your words, Detective, but I hope you will...
He interrupted him, saying: To buy your vote! The prize was to buy your vote for the new mayoral candidate, Mr. Steve!
His eyes widened in astonishment, so he coughed and said: It seems that your questions are over, excuse me, I have a lot of work.
Mark got up and said, "It's okay, we have a busy schedule too. Nice to meet you."
Jan thanked him and left after him, before they got into the car Jan asked him: Wait a minute, how did you know about buying votes and that group?
He replied: The electoral candidate Steve is the general manager of SJ Construction Group. I'm sure he has already bought half of Bangkok. Do you remember the mega project he promotes every time?
Jan: Do you mean the mini-city project?
He nodded: Yes, he said he will build apartment buildings, hospitals, schools and universities, all this in the crowded city of Bangkok, where do you think he would build this project?
He said: He will build it on the lands that he bought from the citizens.
Mark: Exactly, he'll go to the poor citizens and lie to them and then take their land for a sum of money that may not be half their real price, and whoever objects will be pressured by gangs or die.
Jan: That explains the increase in this type of case.
