Chereads / Mystery Solver: Solving the Unknown / Chapter 45 - Mastermind 

Chapter 45 - Mastermind 

Only then did Devid come back to his senses. Well, who can blame him? After finding the thief, he just wanted to know about his ring.

Mark was trying to call Arthur. But no one receives the phone. It just keeps ringing and ringing.

"Why isn't he answering the call?" John asked Mark. What could Mark say? He also doesn't know.

"Previously, Arthur said to me that he was chasing a car. Actually, he was chasing Fernandes Gion, the manager of the Gen medicine company. After saying that, he cut the call." Mark said to John.

"Why is he chasing that man?" John asked.

"Well, I also don't know the reason. Previously, he just asked me to catch these two suspicious people, while he will chase the Fernandes." Mark said once again.

"Oh," John nodded. It seems Arthur said nothing to Mark.

"I think that these two and Fernandes are connected somehow. I think he was looking over them, and when he saw Fernandes going the other direction from these two people, he called me, and he chased after Fernandes." Mark said.

"These two should know about this Fernandes person. Furthermore, from where did they obtain drugs?" John said and looked at Garem and Gary.

"Well, then you start talking. How did you get the drugs? " John asked while looking at them.

But Garem and Gary said nothing. They only remained silent. This irritates John.

"Now, I don't have that patience, so before I get angry, start talking." He warns them. However, those two remain silent.

Wasting no time, John fires a bullet beside Gary's leg. That made Gary pretty scared.

"If you think I won't shoot you a bullet, then you were pretty wrong. Just start talking or this will be your last breath." John said with an angry voice. He was ready to shoot them. Mark also didn't prevent him, he was worried about Arthur. He just silently looked at those two. Mr. Devid and the others also said nothing. For Devid, his ring was more important, and he was also pretty disappointed with his brother. He thought his brother had become a good person, but he was still taking drugs. It also looked like his brother was connected to this case. So, he decided to remain silent. He already sent his wife and children to their room.

"Mr. Police… Don't… Don't shoot, don't shoot. I will tell you everything. Please don't kill me." Suddenly, Gary said with a frightened voice. He was terrified when John shot a bullet in his leg.

"Shut up, Gary!!!!!!! Don't tell them anything. Did you forget what the boss said?" Suddenly, Garem opens his and shouts at Gary. He doesn't want Gary to open his mouth.

This really made John mad. He went toward Garem and punched him.

"You stay silent!!!!!! Gary continued," this punch made Garem fall down to the ground, while John signals Gary to talk.

"We… We got the drugs from the Gen medicine company. Fernandes Gion is our boss. He supplied us with the drugs and told us to sell the drugs." Gary said with his shaking tone.

"So, this Fernandes was the real culprit. So, did you meet him?" This time Mark came close and asked him.

"Garem, yesterday, take me there." Gary pointed at Garem, who was still laying down on the ground. He was the one who took him there.

Garem knows he won't be able to do anything in this situation, even if he struggles. So, he decided to lie on the ground.

Mark looked at him and asked Gary, "where is the ring you stole?"

"Previously, I gave that ring to Garem, and yesterday he gave that ring to Fernandes," Gary said to him.

"Why did you steal the ring?" Mark asked.

"Garem said to me that if I can steal the ring, then he will give me money. So, I became greedy and stole it and gave it to him." Gary explained.

"It seems, Mr. Garem, we have so much to talk about." John suddenly went toward Garem and said to Garem.

"How did you get the key to my cupboard?" Suddenly, Devid asked Gary.

"Mr. Garem gave the key and said to steal the ring." Gary suddenly said.

"So, Mr. Garem, you wanted to say anything." John crouched down and asked Garem.

This time finally Garem lifted his head and looked at John. He suddenly started to laugh," Hahaha." It was like he became mad.

"You said your friend was chasing Mr. Fernandes? Hahaha, you should be ready to see your friend's dead body. Hahaha," he said to John.

John instantly gave him a hard slap. This slap made Garem bleed from his mouth.

But he didn't care about him. He pulled his hair, and said," Don't speak any nonsense, and start talking about this Fernandes."

"Mr. Fernandes wasn't our real boss. The person behind him is our real boss. He is one subordinate to our boss. Even so, you should not underestimate him. He has many fighters under him. They can mercilessly kill anyone. Also, his house was guarded by many bodyguards. Hahaha, now, do you understand how dangerous it is to face Mr. Fernandes? Don't expect your friend to return here alive." He explains this with a smile, then turns his focus toward Gary.

"Don't think you will be safe. Our big boss didn't tolerate any betrayal. You should start counting your day. Hahaha," he said to Gary while laughing like mad.

John, unable to tolerate his crazy laugh, punched him once again. But, suddenly, they heard a voice.

"Haha, you are right, he was pretty Dangerous, but not that dangerous to kill me."

Hearing the voice, Mark, John, and the others were looking at the entrance. They saw a person coming. Instantly, they recognized him. It was Arthur. He finally came.

Mark quickly goes toward Arthur. He saw a bloodstain on Arthur's shirt, and he was also injured. They make him pretty worried. He quickly said to Devid, " Quickly, bring a first aid kit."

Instantly, one person nodded and went quickly to bring the first aid kit.

Arthur sits down in a chair and looks at both Garem and Gary.

"Your boss and his people are excellent, but it wasn't that good to kill me." He said to them with a smile.

"Well, before I start telling, Mr. Devid, here, take this." Arthur turned around and said to Devid. Devid and the others look at his hand. In his hand, they saw a box, a small box of a ring.

Devid, saying nothing, came to him and with his shaking hands took the box. He carefully opened the box and inside the ring was a gorgeous ring. Undoubtedly, it is the ring of blood crystals.

"That you, detective Arthur, really thank you very much… you don't even know how much pressure I was under." He expressed his gratitude to Arthur with his almost crying expression. But this time he almost cried because he was now happy.

At that moment, that person had already brought the first aid kit and Mark began to apply first aid to Arthur's injuries.

Sometime later, Mark was finally done. Arthur thanked him and start telling,

"Well then, let's start from the beginning."

____________________

Arthur POV:

"Let's start from the beginning. This Fernandes person is a drug supplier in this area. I didn't previously where he worked before, but here in the Gen medicine company, he is in charge of supplying drugs. But as Garem said, he wasn't the real mastermind. I think the real mastermind should be the actual owner of the Gen medicine company. Because without his permission, no one can sell drugs there."

"4 years ago, he first joined the Gen medicine company. However, in less than one year, he became the manager of the supplier department. As you know, this department's main work is to supply their medicine. Nevertheless, I guessed unknown to anyone, he also began to supply drugs. Furthermore, I think because of these drugs, he gets promoted that easily."

"Now, came to our Mr. Garem. 3 years ago, he got released from prison. As you know, the police arrested him because he was selling drugs, and he is also a drug addict."

" Now, 3 years ago, when he got released from prison, he still didn't stop taking drugs. I think he even took drugs in the prison somehow, but forgot about that. Now, let's come back to our main case. When Garem got released from prison, Fernandes had already become the manager of the Gen medicine company."

" This Fernandes person somehow got his information. Well, you can Garem become pretty famous for selling drugs. So, somehow Fernandes got his information and contacted him. I think he also offered Garem that he would give him free drugs, but he needed to help him in this business. Garem at that time was penniless. Hearing this good offer, he immediately accepts and from then they become partners. Mr. Garem, am I right?" I stopped explaining and suddenly asked this question to Garem.
