Early in the morning, the team members sat tidying up the place and moving the furniture so that they could make it their headquarters to continue their investigations secretly. While everyone is moving furniture and hanging papers, maps and pictures. Jan standing far away and staring at them with sharp and angry looks, he sighed, "I still don't understand why you chose my house as our headquarters?"
Zhao said, "My house is too small for all these things."
Commander: We can't discuss issues while my kids are playing around.
Mark: As for my house, Sarah lives in, we can't move there, she's a girl and she needs privacy.
He said sarcastically: What about my privacy?!
The door knocked on, so Zhao went to open it, saying: Welcome, Miss Sarah. Please come in.
She smiled, "Thank you."
She put on her slippers and walked towards Jan saying: Good morning, thank you for hosting us at your house. I brought breakfast and some things you might need.
He started emptying the bags, saying: Finally, someone with class.
After breakfast they started reviewing what they had found so far. Mark: We still lack information but... SJ Construction Company was established in 1994 before the merger, and merged with M&S in 2000, in the same year that Doctor Michael received a grant study for U.S.A.
And he added: He got involved with creditors in 2010 and traveled to the United States of America, there he obtained a new identity, after four years, he returned to Thailand with the identity of Max and then disappeared in 2019 to show us Steve the politician candidate for the position of Governor of Bangkok.
Jan: In addition to his work as a politician, he has a side business in the field of human organs trade, the Travel and Tourism Office, and Sunrise Care Center are both affiliated with him and export human organs abroad, they have many local and international clients.
Zhao: Mr. Tan is his business partner but indirectly, he was trying to find out where Mary is, but he couldn't find her by himself because Jane will stop him, and he will never find her.
He added: So, Steve told him about Mrs. James and her daughter Sarah and sent a message for her to take the bait and come to Thailand and look for Mary on his behalf, without Jane knowing of the plan.
Commander: And since he had a spy among us, his access to it was high.
Zhao continued, "Yes, his desire to reach her first was because she knew what his business was, and secondly, Mary was threatening his business."
Commander: Jane hid her sister so Steve wouldn't reach her and kill her, which explains why he killed her after they got to Mary's place.
'I told John to look for the evidence that Mr. Dan had sent to my mother, and Mr. Daniel had sent me the private case files that my mother had been working on,' she said.
Mark: So, what did you get?
She replied: It turns out that Steve participated in some work in my country as well. There are many projects that he created, but he offered them for sale before they finished as well as he is accused of a murder.
They said: a murder!
She nodded and said, "Yes. After talking to John, I told him about my mom's accident and asked him to read the case file again. He found that the brakes had been tampered with, and he's now in the process of reopening the case."
She was silent for a while and then said: Things are now clear, once the evidence against him is collected, only his confession will remain.
Jan: In that case, if he escapes from here, he will be caught at the States Airport.
"Exactly," she replied, "I will send all the evidence to my boss Daniel, so he can't find a way out."
Zhao: This time he can't come back with a new identity.
Steve stands in front of the reporters, and one of them asked him: Many are against the "mini city" project that your company SJ will create, so how will you deal with the negative response?
He replied: It is a good thing that people are interested in this project, it means that everyone knows its importance, I am sure that it will be more beneficial for our country and our people.
After he finished his campaign tour, he went to a restaurant. His assistant (Not) came forward and said to the receptionist: We have an appointment at three o'clock.
The employee replied: From here, sir.
Then they continued walking behind him until they reached the VIP suite. He stopped in front of one of the rooms and knocked on the door saying, "Mr. Steve is here."
The door opened and Steve entered while his assistant returned to the car waiting for their meeting to end, they sat on the floor and in the middle of the circular dining table, food and drink were served, then dessert, and Steve said: Let's talk about work now.
Then he added, "There are two days left until the election day and the votes are still unstable. I hope you have some good news."
Prosecutor (Jad) replied: The Criminal Crimes Unit has been stopped as you wanted, but I don't think the court will agree to dismiss them.
His tone sharpened: I don't want to separate them, I'll do this later, the important thing is the evidence! Did you get it!?
He took out a brown envelope and handed it to him, saying: Yes, sir, I came right after my team found it.
He took the envelope, inspected it, then sighed, "That's fine, at least you succeeded in something."
He turned to the other person and said, "What about you, Commissioner John?"
He drank tea and then replied: Things are going as we planned; I have put someone to monitor the movements of Captain Lawan's team.
He smiled: Excellent, I hope that your daughter will graduate with excellent grades to become as smart as you.
Mr. Michael came forward: We know where they moved Mary and her father, Mr. Steve.
He asked: Where?
He replied: To a small private hospital, they were registered under two different names. This was a little difficult, but we eventually discovered their place.
He smiled mischievously: That's good, sooner or later everything will be in my hands.
And he added: What do you think of us continuing our evening in a more comfortable place?
In the room next to theirs, someone sits with many devices around him, puts headphones on and watches on his device what is happening in Steve's room, then he smiles and sends a message to his partner.
In front of Steve's car, the men stood laughing and talking, then shook hands with each other, and each one left in his car heading to the same destination, then one of the cars moved and waited in front of the restaurant until the eavesdropper came up and started behind them.
The car stopped in front of the Golden Hotel, which is a huge hotel frequented by the rich and politicians. Steve and those with him entered the hotel. The man following them said: They go to this hotel because the security is tight.
Partner: They must be selling prostitution inside the hotel, out of sight.
Reply: That's certain, otherwise they wouldn't make their going to this hotel suspicious if we could get excellent shots that would be a knockout for them and a profitable case for us.
His partner: They are all well-known political faces; we will surely get a huge scoop.
Wednesday, 13th May
Sarah entered Jan's apartment and found them, said: You are all here! Good I have some good news.
Zhao: Finally! I'm tired of the bad news.
She turned to him and said, "John sent the proof by e-mail, and I copied it on this memory USB."
Jan: Did you check the information?
She answered: No, I got it this morning and came here in a hurry.
Commander: Well, let's watch it then.
The evidence contains audio recordings made by Mary. Compiled videos with scenes showing Steve doing his illegal activities from organ trafficking to prostitution and murder. In short, all his illegal actions. And there are some scenes in which he appears Accompanied by an ex-politician and Capital Hospital Director (Michael), Director of Sunrise Care Center (Ken), Police Commissioner (John) are in a strange place, surrounded by women and drinks with a bag full of money in the middle.
Mark: That's a huge clue.
Jan: No wonder they wanted to kill Mary and her father.
Commander: Yes, such evidence will bring them all down.
Sarah: Did Steve keep Mr. Dan alive to get this video? If that's true, then why did they try to kill Mary when she was in the hospital instead of her father?
Commander: That's weird! There must be a reason why he kept Mr. Dan alive.
Sarah: Well, based on Jane's letter that she left, we learned that she had kidnapped her sister and hid her in the house so that Steve wouldn't find her and kill her, and that's why Mr. Tan sent me a letter so I could come and find her with an excuse on the pretext that her case is related to the case of my father's disappearance.
Mark: And when we were looking around, we crossed paths with Jane, who later learned we were looking for Mary and Mr. Tan was the reason, so she had to think of a way to keep us away from Mary.
Zhao: So, she kidnapped Miss Sarah to keep her sister's secret.
Jan: But I don't think the reason she kidnapped Sarah was to hide her sister. As you know, we found her sister because she kidnapped Sarah, she wanted us to find her, this was her plan from the beginning.
Sarah: So, why didn't she tell us instead of kidnapping me, she would at least have survived.
Commander: Don't forget that she used to work for Steve and that he had a lot of spies around us, if she told us at that time, he would have found Mary first and killed her.
Mark: Well, we solved the first puzzle. What about Mr. Dan, why did Steve keep Mr. Dan under his old identity at the center?
Zhao: Ah, I already found the answer.
