130 Starting Point 1 (1/2)

In Han's study room, he sat on his chair, looking at the documents which he received from the military last month. It was about missing girls and boys who were kidnapped and sold as a slave in other countries. The military told him it was the same case he handled back when he was still soldier-in-training.

He skimmed from each time and place the abduction happened. According to the data, the place where a lot of young women and men went missing, was in Osaka. He lifted his head and looked at the television which was showing news about a recent case he just read about. The news anchor told the TV audience about the kidnapper was caught and the victims were still in search.

One of the reporters came to interview the kidnapper, he said, {Where did you kidnap all the girls and boys? We heard you kill them all and eat them alive?}

With his face censored, hands were handcuffed, he roared, {F*ck! I didn't do it! I'm innocent! I'm innocent I tell you!}

{You are a kidnapper and we got the proofs from the missing victims which reside in your house, so what else do you need to say if you really are innocent?} The reporter strike back. The kidnapper was on the verge of exploding.

{Sh*t!!! I was being set up! I'm telling you! I'm telling you the truth!!} He outcrying. He never got finished his defense words when the polices were pushing him into the bus for the prisoner. Han turned off the screen.

Knocks sound came from his door and Ta strode inside as he saluting. He said to Han, ”It became more trouble boss. Do you need yourself promptly to solve this case? I advised you should focus on your business now, the mole problem was still not finished yet. The headquarter is gibberish, this problem is something they can handle by themselves. You are not the only one who is responsible for this slavery case.” His voice sounded irritated.

Han with his calm expression, explained, ”I was the one who started reporting this case, so I must be responsible for this. Besides, Stevan has gone missing. The headquarter complained about him and asked me to change back. I can't disobey their orders.”

”Boss!” Ta suddenly bowed down and asked a favor to Han. Han looked at him who was kneeling on the floor. He frowned when he saw Ta acting like this. Ta continued to voice out his mind, ”Let me handle this case instead of you! I and Toshio feel hostility towards that man who once tortured us back then when we were still slaves. We want to get back everything we lost at that time! Please, I'm begging you to change with me instead! And let Toshio protect you while I'm gone.”

Han looked at him and asked, ”So you want revenge?”

”Yes! After searching for years, we finally found his trace! We can't waste this time or else our opportunity will disappear! Please boss! Let me the one who catches him! I promise I will succeed! I will not fail! I'm begging you!”

Han pondered for a while, he was trouble with his sudden request. Actually, his time to go back to the military will be another one year, so he had no obligated to follow the military for now. This task was actually Stevan who needed to solve it. But he had gone missing, people were searching for him. Han's eyes narrowed when he heard that news.

Sighing, he said, ”Alright. In one condition, bring ten enforcement and don't kill him until all the children are saved. Remember if you fail, your punishment will wait for you. Did you found out about his hideout? I heard he changed his place one to another.”

”Yes, boss! We still had him followed.” Ta cleared his statement.

”Great. Remember, don't let him escape again! Also, investigate this reporter and the man who is being accused. We can't let innocent people go to prison.” He told him with his stern and deep voice. He shoved him a profile photo of two men. Ta quickly rose from kneeling position and grabbed the paper.

Han continued, ”I will use my status and explain to the headquarter for letting you be in charge of this case. You are one of my trusted people, they will have no complaint about it. Now, you can dismiss.” After he stated that another knocked was heard from outside of the door. It was Tu, Han's secretary. He came inside with a grim face.
