The investigation into the incident naturally began with that sniper rifle, and the shooting range owner and the manager.
First and foremost was the firearm, which upon inspection by a professional, turned out to have been deliberately sabotaged, almost guaranteed to explode upon firing.
The collector who had sold him the rifle had bet that the shooting range owner would never actually use his collection.
On Javell's second day there, he seized the opportunity to purposely sell the rifle to the shooting range owner.
The shooting range owner claimed he was initially unaware of this news until a few friends at the dinner table informed him that a young master of the Javell family, with whom he had some connection, had come to the area.
Someone suggested that he could invite the young master to his shooting range to play and take the opportunity to showcase his collection and get closer to him.
This led to the subsequent events.
