Chapter 1432 - Jinah
After that short meeting in which the grand elder scolded the investigator, the process finally picked up the pace.
The investigator completely ignored his superiors' orders and did everything in his own style. Whenever someone asked, he only had one thing to say.
"Take it up with the Grand Elder."
The one statement shut up so many people. Grivon's Grandfather is known to be extremely temperamental. He is extremely powerful and doesn't take nonsense from anyone. Rumour has it that in the term of the previous clan leader, he got beat up by this old man because he was abusing the authority as a leader too much.
The investigator finally saw some light. The trial leading to Sam was obviously a dead end no matter which youngster they followed, but the start of that trial is not.
Every youngster that suddenly started looking for Grivon and Giyon's assets actually are doing something important on their own, but all of a sudden, they dropped everything and went after the businesses like they are some idiotic machines controlled by others.
The investigator sent the best of the bunch he has to the last location the young masters were active before going away. Along with that, he went full force on the people that the young masters last met to get even a little bit of a clue on what happened, when they suddenly left like that.
Even though people cooperated because of the intensity of the issue. There is not much they can help him with. But there is indeed one special thing that he managed to notice. Every young master received a message or their attendant came to whisper something in the ear and someone even got a parcel.
So, he went after the attendants and whoever that does courier best in the city to get any more details that he could.
Sam, Giyon and Grivon relaxed and made the forces relax too, while the investigation went on full swing.
Sam believed that now, whoever the person that was behind the whole farce is bound to make the move.
The more dawn pressured the Gaja clan, the harsher the investigation is going to be and the more it was searched, the more clues would be unearthed.
The more clues they unearthed, the harder it would be the one that actually caused this from the start. The whole clan would be furious and with the number of elders that got involved, things wouldn't be as simple as some clan punishment.
They will rip whoever it is to pieces.
And just like Sam anticipated. The person who is the root of this is currently pacing around in his chambers.
Elder Jinah.
The same elder Grivon met and the most important suspect.
He is pacing around his room back and forth for over an hour and finally sat down when a lady barged in without any knock or notification.
"What are you doing? Do you think pacing around will solve your problem?"
"It is OUR problem. Don't you dare separate us in this situation? You are the one that dragged me into this mess. You are the one who caused this whole thing. I was just minding my own fucking business. But you came into my life and dragged me into this whole mess."
"Oh, stop right there. I didn't fucking force you. You are the one that agreed to my terms. Fair and square. You are making it sound like I blackmailed you as you did with those young masters."
"At least I was anonymous when blackmailing the youngsters, but you were not when you dragged me into this."
"Enough with the veiled threats. Let's just get back to thinking how to get out of this situation."
"There is no way out. How are the kids doing by the way?"
"They are fine, they are all sleeping soundly." The woman answered and it was followed by some silence in the room.
Jinah looked at her and thought about the moment this whole thing started.
This woman's name is Sinya. She is the sister of the woman that newly got married into the clan. Both sisters are unbelievably close and as she came here as a guest a long time ago, she didn't leave yet.
One day, when Jinah is just trying to improve his position with the help of his brother's new role, he met with this woman. She approached him and gave out a plan that serves both of their purposes.
His purpose is to get a better position in the clan while making himself acquainted with the people at the top while Sinya wanted to get in touch with the Mari Clan.
Even though Jinah didn't like the Mari clan and didn't particularly know why Sinya desperately wanted to gain Mari Clan's favour, he still agreed to the plan.
They originally thought if everything goes well, they will frame Sam and kill him in process of which he would grow closer to Mingiv, his father and even the grandfather.
Meanwhile, Sinya would be revealing what happened behind the scenes with the proof they recorded over time to Sivan back in the Mari Clan to get in bed with the clan or even him.
So, they made this elaborate scheme in which they used the information that the investigation department secretly holds and made them follow the trails.
After that, they kidnapped them and held them hostage leading everyone to think that Sam is the one behind this.
The original plan was since Sam was not known to take shit from others, he would have made some rash move against the elders and while they are actively clashing they would fake the evidence on how Sam did all of these kidnappings.
They even tried their best to hide their identities from all the youngsters they kidnapped.
If they are lucky enough, they would have even been able to make Grivon and Giyon abandon him because of all the problems and easily dealt with him.
But they just realized that they are completely in over their heads. They mistook Sam's decisiveness and ruthlessness when he dealt with Malgav in both the events as rashness.
They thought that with the way elders handled things, he would definitely retaliate. But his retaliation came in such a way that their burrows are being filled with smoke.
Jinah already knows how good the investigation department can be. There is no way, he would be able to hide the whole thing forever.
"We need to find out who the people that are pretending to be Dawn are and the kidnappers. Then we can even out the situation." Sinya said after some thought.
"Do you think that is easy? Even the investigation department couldn't find out. What do you think I can do?"
"Of course, you can use your untapped information network."
Jinah frowned immediately and asked.
"How do you know about that?"
"It seems like you didn't know why I talked to you in the first place? Do you think your brother is all that?
No, the real reason I made a deal is because of you. The untapped secret information network that you only use when it was absolutely necessary, is what attracted me. You have the most probability of escaping this when you use all of your resources."
"I am not using that. It is way too valuable and if by any chance the agents were identified, things wouldn't go well."
"I don't know what you are talking about. I don't think anybody in the clan knows what kind of agents you use. Even your brother you have been grudgingly trying to accept that you are better than him doesn't know what kind of method you use to get the information.
What would change this time?"
"The enemy this time are the people from the clan. Not the people from outside. It would be easy for me to get info, but there is a chance I will expose the people to the investigators and their informers involuntarily.
I don't want to risk it."
"Either you risk that or you risk your head. Your choice. But you have the key that could get us out of this situation.
As long you find out who this dawn is, we can expose them. This all might be Sam's direct retaliation to smoke us out. But we can also use this to our advantage. We can just lead the evidence trail that we are creating to dawn and connect it to Sam.
Things would be much easier for us."
"What if the people that are connected to this are Grivon and Giyon? What is this is their retaliation for going against their friend?"
"Friend? Really? When does a clan like yours have members that have true friends? Isn't that kind of impossible?"
Sinya stood up and left.
Jinah didn't know what to do. He is very conflicted about using his trump card. The trump card that he created with so much effort over such a long time.. If things go wrong, he would be up in flames along with this card that he created.
