Investigating Neil's private matter

For remaining day all were busy in their own task.

Ryan called in the evening,

"Boss, I have send the surveillance record of the road to cemetery and details of the accident in your mail. The whole thing looks suspicious and also I have found a chip, godfather and Big brother's belongings on the incident site. I will send it to you. Boss, should I return or continue the investigation?" Even if Ryan was childish, his work was efficient and top notch. He was a genius in the computer field.

"No, you take over the task of Noah and observe the movements in Grasal. I have another task for him."

"Can't I do another task?" Ryan asked.

"Are you doubting my authority and trying to go against my order? I don't have good temper so be careful. Someday, I may beat you to death." Arik was cold as ever.

"Hehe…Boss, I understand–" Arik ended the call.

Two hours later,

"Boss, what can I do for you?" Noah questioned facing his Boss.

"Did you have dinner?" Shikar questioned. Currently it was dinner time. Both brothers were in the dining room.

"No, I will have it later." Noah whispered.

"You have to take care of yourself then only you can assist your boss. Fill your stomach before you leave. Take rest and don't be sick." Shikhar showered his concern.

Among those four, Noah was a sort of workaholic. He won't take a break or rest before he could finish his task. Because of that, he had stomach problem.

"Take a rest for now as the doctor has said. You may assume your task in the early morning. I hope your efficient and quality of work will be doubled after a new day. Meet me in the early morning and I will tell you your task." Wiping the mouth Arik stood up and walked to the garden outside.

Arik knew if he assigned the task now, Noah won't be able to sleep soundly and only think about the task.

Shikar chuckled seeing their interaction.

An hour later, a message notification appeared on Shikhar's phone.

'I will go out. I will be back before dawn.' Arik had left a message.

***

Walking in the garden, Arik opened his email and checked the document sent by Ryan. According to it, the police have fabricated the accident. The driver of the truck was said to be drunk and it didn't include any chase or suspicious activities. After the incident, the driver was hurt and was admitted to the hospital.

How dare they analyze on their own? In Grasal, law and the mafia were at par. Both remained side by side. If possible, the law didn't interfere with the Mafia as an agreement was made about one and half decade (fifteen years).

According to that agreement the mafia won't lay their hands on innocent people and would donate a big sum of money for the development of the city. It was drafted by the previous lord (leader) of Grasal mafia ( not Neil's father but the one before him).

The law and people with some authority of Grasal had tried to reason out the accident of Neil to be purely an accident and not any traps or assassination attempt. The surveillance and other evidence have been erased.

After reading the documents, Arik watched the video. Ryan had said that he couldn't find the surveillance camera beside the road but found two far from the roadside.

One of the videos were of the SUVs chasing the BMW and godfather trying to shake them up using his shotgun. Another showed the intersection from a far place. It wasn't clear like the first but still one could figure out the situation from it.

According to Ryan, the cameras installed on the roadside were half not working, some were damaged and some were destroyed without leaving any evidence. They weren't in a condition where any recording or video could be revived.

The cameras around the cemetery were taken off before the incident. The main caretaker of the cemetery made a statement that the camera were taken off for maintenance and were left to be installed.

Many were pulling the strings behind to hide the content of anything related to that day.

Arik abruptly closed his mail, pocketed the phone and walked out. His expression wasn't clear. He seemed to be calm but inside him, a storm was brewing. First, he reached near the intersection, watched it from afar.

Not even a single human settlement was found beside the highway road. Walking to the sub road for ten minutes, small cottages were seen. As he looked around, he saw a board of a restaurant in a few of the cottages. He decided to enter one of those which was clean. Not to raise any doubt, he was dressed in simple clothes rather than his suits.

Ordering a drink, he surveyed the area. A few people were talking and his ears were all on it. The topic of conversation was related to the incident in the intersection.

He mixed with those and tried to be thirsty for curiosity. An hour later, he left the place and walked ahead of the sub road. He stayed around the place all night to investigate.

Around three in the morning, he returned back.

He closed his eyes and laid on the bed trying to analyze the situation and couldn't sleep. As he was just about to doze, a sound of knock made him wide awake.

Irritated, he opened the door. Noah was standing outside.

"Take a seat inside." Walking back to the room, Arik sat on the bed.

"Boss, I have got enough rest. Can you assign the task? I don't want to waste my time anymore."

"Humm…investigate Big Brother."

"You mean to say Big Brother Neil. Are you doubting him about something?" Noah asked with alertness.

"Umm…I doubt him for sure. He didn't even say a word to me, how could he do that? It seems he has found a Sister-in-law for me…" Arik spoke seriously.

Noah: "Oh!! I wondered if Brother had done something else…luckily that was a false alarm. Do you mean to say I need to investigate his private matter?"

"Smart boy. Investigate it in detail and as fast as possible." Arik chuckled.

"Do you have any clues from where I can start?" Noah remained professional.

"No idea. But investigate these two years no…no, this year. You may find the clues yourself. I don't have any solid information. Do it your own way and take help from our people as well as Shikhar's as you seem good." Arik closed his eyes and laid on the bed.

Noah immediately took his leave.

Arik couldn't sleep so walked to the window and lighted a cigarette.

In the morning, Shikhar had a bad news…
