We came to the study room. Here I can already see the gardener, Jafar. He was already waiting in this room. Devid already told him to wait in this room.
I sat down and looked at the gardener once again. I already interrogated him previously. But I can see his nervousness. It is most probably because he is called here once again.
"Relax Mr. Jafar. I am just going to ask you some simple questions." I calmly said to him. He is very nervous, and like this, he won't be able to answer clearly.
Hearing my words, I think he relaxed a little. So, I started to ask him,
"Well, Mr. Jafar, I heard that you didn't come yesterday?"
"Yes sir, yesterday I had a fever. Because of this, I could not come." He replied.
" Then who came here to your place?" I asked.
" My nephew. He is new in this city and looking for jobs. So, I sent him here yesterday," he says.
" Did he stay in your house?" I asked.
" Yes,"
" Where is his home? What is his name? Did you have his photo?"
" His name is Gary Hafim, from Fero village. I didn't have his photo." Well, it is a small village. Near the south plaza.
"When did he come to your house?"
" 1 week ago,"
" Yesterday, when did he go back to your house?" I asked.
" Well, yesterday, I was very sick. So, I quickly fell asleep. I am not sure when he came back." Jafar answered.
" Where is he right now?" I asked.
"I didn't see him today. But he left a message for me. In the message, he told me that he found a good job in a goods delivery company and he is going there." Jafar said. Hearing this, I became interested. Once again, a good delivery company.
"Did he tell you the name of this company?"
"No, detective Arthur. He only said that he is going to a goods delivery company with someone he met yesterday." Jafar said.
" So, he didn't tell me about the name," I murmured and began to think. He told Jafar he was going with someone in a delivery company. Who could be this second person? Also, Jafar wasn't sure when he came home.
"Can you give me his number? I will call him. I needed to ask some questions." I told him.
" Yes, obviously. Wait a minute, sir." With that said, he looked at his phone. Arthur already activated his lie detector and observation skills. So, I can feel my mobile suddenly vibrating.
I quickly open the phone and see it from the status application. I open it and see it is Jafar's status.
" Name: Jafar hafim
Age: 59
Job: Garden caretaker
Relation: Garden caretaker of Devid's house."
" Sir, this is his number." Jafar finally found the number. I dialed the number on my mobile. The other party's phone rang, but nobody answered the phone. Like this, after 3 more tries, I stop calling him. Instantly, I called the telecom company.
"Hello, I am Detective Arthur. I am sending you one new number. I also need all the details of this number." I said to the person who received my phone. Well, the other person said, " no problem sir, just give me some time."
I hung up the call and looked at Jafar and asked him, " well, how much do you know about your nephew's character?"
" To tell you the truth, Mr. Detective Gary is a distant relative. I didn't contact them that much. In just a few days, Gary and his father came to my house and said to let him stay at my home for a few days. I really didn't know that much about him." Jafar said.
" Ok. Thank you, Mr. Jafar. You can go now." I told him. Jafar got up from his seat and left.
" Detective Arthur, did you understand anything?" Mr. Devid, who said nothing all this time, finally asked me the question.
"Hmm, some little. I need to find out about this Gary person." I said to him and got up from my place.
"Well, Mr. Devid, it was time to go now. Don't worry, we will find the ring." With that said, I left Devid's house on my bike. Also, I already sent the name and mobile number and asked him to search for this person as well.
After coming back home, I told uncle James to bring me a coffee, while I am writing the new 4 points.
*Jafar, the garden caretaker of Devid's house, didn't come yesterday but instead came his nephew.
*Garam told everyone that he was going to the company. But, he didn't go to the company.
*Only seven days ago Gary came to Jafar's house.
*Jafar went to some company for a job with someone.
Arthur is currently drinking the coffee. Now, I need to wait for all the results, then I will decide what to do. Without the result, I cannot advance.
A minute later, Mark sent me the result. I opened the result.
"Name: Gary Hafim
Father's name: Yaro Hafim
Home address: Fero village
Criminal number:1005
Crime: Steal Cash and Jewelry from a house.
Age: 25
Blood group: O+
I'd number: 4607 xxxx xxxx. "
" Oh, this person also is a criminal and the main thing is that he is a thief," I murmured. Now, this is interesting news. So, I think recently he got free from prison and his father brought him here. I also needed his footprints. Because my mind tells me that this person was connected to this person somehow.
_______________________
At 11:00 p.m., Mr. Devid called me. I am answering the phone.
"Hello, Mr. Devid, anything happens?" I asked him.
" Detective Arthur, I am calling you because I fully feel the duty. A few minutes earlier, my brother came back, and I got his footprint. I already took another footprint in the morning. Now I got my brother's footprint," Mr. Devid explained his reason for calling me.
"Excellent work!!! Mr. Devid. Also, did anyone tell your brother about me? Did he suspect something?" I asked him.
" No, no. Detective Arthur, like you, told me I already told everyone not to tell my brother about you. Also, I took his footprint without him knowing. So, I don't think he suspects anything. Also, Detective Arthur, I will go to your place tomorrow early morning to hand over these footprints." He said to me,
" Nice work, Mr. Devid. Yeah, I was also thinking about telling you that you should give me the footprints as early as possible. If my prediction is correct, we can catch the thief by tomorrow." I said to him,
" Are you telling the truth, Detective Arthur? Really, we will be able to catch the thief tomorrow." He asked me excitedly.
" Yes, if my prediction is correct, then we can catch the thief tomorrow," I assured him.
"Thank you, Detective Arthur. Really, thank you very much." He began to say thanks.
" Don't get that much excited, Mr. Devid. As I said if my prediction is correct. My prediction could be wrong, so don't get excited this early. Also, Mr. Devid, can you give me Jafar's number? I need to talk to him." I told him and then asked for Jafar's number.
" Obviously, wait a minute. But, detective, why did you need his number?" He asked me.
" Well, I need him for some time. I will tell you tomorrow the reason," I said to him. A few seconds later, I hung up the call.

3rd person POV:
Arthur, after getting the number, didn't waste any time and quickly called Jafar. After some ringing, someone finally received the phone.
"Hello, who is this?" That person asked.
"Is this Mr. Jafar?" Arthur asked him.
"Yes," he answered.
" Good. Mr. Jafar, I am detective Arthur." Arthur introduces himself.
"Yes, yes, Mr. Detective, how can I help you?" He asked Arthur with a shaking tone. Jafar once again becomes nervous.
Arthur also felt it. So, he said to him, "Don't worry, Mr. Jafar. Before I tell you the reason, I want to ask you, did your nephew come back?" Arthur asked him.
" No, Mr. Detective. He still didn't come back home. Sometimes I called him, he said that because it was his first day he was getting familiar with his work. Because of this, he will come back later." Jafar explained.
" Ok, understood. This is good news that he still didn't come back. If my guess wasn't wrong, you will be there in a few minutes. So before he goes there, I want you to do something for me." Arthur said to him.
" Tell me, detective Arthur, what should I do?" Jafar asked.
" Not that hard work. You just needed to somehow get your nephew's footprint." Arthur said to him.
" Footpr...…. Footprint, why is that Mr. Detective? Did my nephew do something?" He asked Arthur with a shaking voice.
" I am not sure about that. As you know, someone stole Mr. Devid's important thing. Because of this, I need your nephew's footprint," Arthur said to him.
" Now don't waste time. Your nephew can come back anytime. So before that, listen carefully to what should you do," Arthur said to him.
" Ok... okay, Mr. Detective, what should I do?" He asked. Arthur began to tell him what he should do. Also, mention that not to tell about him.
