“Where will we go?” gianna asked as Adriano turned the vehicle towards her house. The girl doesn't know how Adriano D'Angelo works.
“I'll look for clues in Padre's workspace,” Adriano replied briefly, flatly, and without turning a head in the slightest.
“So yes, ta-tapi ..” Gianna's countenance suddenly restless. She played the end of the dress. “What if Padra is carried further and further until his whereabouts are unknown,” muttered the blonde girl with great concern.
“Where do you want me to chase him? Brescia and Milan are very big. Padre could be anywhere at the moment,” Adriano clucked in annoyance. He continued to drive until he arrived at the gate of Emiliano Moriarty's residence. However, the man did not immediately get off his vehicle. Adriano reached into a cell phone from the pocket of a shirt. He then contacted someone first.
“Who are you going to contact?” asked Gianna again looking troubled.
Adriano did not answer. The blue-eyed man did not care about his half-brother's question. He kept the phone in his ear until someone across the street answered his call. “Detective Ignazio. How are you?” greet Adriano friendly.
“I want to ask for a little help,” the man's blue eyes glanced at Gianna, as if beckoning her.
Adriano's half-brother seems to be the most intelligent when compared to his other two brothers. He was able to quickly understand what Adriano meant, albeit only through eye cues. Quickly, Gianna pointed her palm inscribed with a license plate to Adriano. Then, Adriano immediately mentioned the license plate to the detective. After that, the chairman Tigre Nero then ended his call. “We will move after getting word from the detective,” he said as he exited the vehicle.
Without waiting for Giana, Adriano pushed the gate wide open. He then got back in the car. Adriano drove the vehicle into the yard. Along with her new self getting out of the car, Claudia the stepmother also appeared from inside the house. “Adriano,” hesitate.
However, the blue-eyed man did not reply at all. He passed by Claudia just like that and immediately entered the not-so-maintained mansion. Claudia herself did not dare to comment anything, especially after seeing Gianna who stuck her index finger on the lips as a sign that the mother did not talk much.
“Make yourself useful, Matrigna. Help me find the slightest clue in Padre,” workspace Adriano said as he walked to a door in one of the rooms, then opened it. He was still very memorized with every part of the mansion that had once been his place of residence.
Adriano entered the father's study. He can also still remember clearly Emiliano's computer password, so he can easily access all the files in there. Highlight his eyes seemed to be seriously reading through the series of data that appeared on the screen so thoroughly. He began his investigation from financial statements, to the activities of companies already in bankruptcy status. The rupwan man frowned when he saw one irregularity found in the report. “What is the position of Ilario within the company of Padre?” he asked Claudia who was busy opening books one by one. The books were neatly lined up inside the shelves. “What are you doing?” Adriano knitted his eyebrows at the astonishment of his stepmother's behavior.
“Usually your father always hid important letters in here. Who knows if someone is missing,” replied Claudia without stopping to open each sheet from book to book.
“I can see here the list of lenders. Everything comes from the bank. Padre never borrowed money outside of it, nor borrowed it to individuals. But ...” Adriano stopped talking. Same with Claudia. He also did not continue what he had done. They looked at each other in silence. “I opened a lot of incoming emails, and all came from the names of shareholders in the company Padre. They say they have received an investment refund,” he continued.
“What does that mean? I don't understand at all,” Claudia scratched her forehead nervously, then shouted, “Gianna! Help me!” as always. The woman's attitude had still not changed long ago, making Adriano only able to shake her head slowly.
“You want to know? That means that the investors in the company are already getting their money back. The money was previously invested in Emiliano Moriarty's company. This is very strange, because from where can the bankrupt Emiliano Moriarty transfer money in that amount?” search Adriano. His eyes could not be separated from the movements of Claudia who looked increasingly nervous.
“Gianna!” instead of replying, Claudia shouted loudly again to call her youngest child.
“Ah, let kuralat,” fingers Adriano seemed to direct the cursor to one of the other emails he had not opened. The man then perused the email, then smiled cynically. “It turns out it wasn't Padre who transferred the money, it was Ilario. Why would Ilario do that? Where did he get that amount of money?” it's full of search.
“What's up, Mom? Why should I scream?” Gianna poked her head from behind the door.
“Call your brother!” claudia's words were slow but firm with an extremely frightening look in her eyes, even though her voice was almost inaudible.
“Ilario does not exist. He came out a while ago, having known that Adriano was coming,” Gianna said indifferently.
“Ck!" Adriano clucked in annoyance, "quickly phone him!” tell Adriano to stand up and step out of the study. “Is Ilario still occupying his former room?” without excuse, Adriano stepped up the stairs. He headed straight for his half-brother's room located on the second floor.
“The second door on your left,” points to Gianna who turns out to also follow them. He did not care even though Claudia glared sharply at him.
Adriano walked towards the door that Gianna had pointed at. Unfortunately, the door was locked. Not wanting to waste time, he kicked it to the bottom and it was wide open.
“Hei! What are you doing!” a loud shout came out from beside Ilario's room. Emiliano's eldest son, standing next to Adriano with a prosthetic eye, moved as fast as lightning blocked his movement.
“Go, Agustine! I don't have much time,”, Adriano. His face and tone sounded firm. A moment later, the man's attitude changed and again looked calm. However, who would have thought if his body language still felt so intimidating for those who were there.
“Nobody can do as you please at Moriarty's residence!” Agustine ventured to block Adriano's movements. He also pushed the sturdy body of the chairman Tigre Nero. However, that beautiful man was too sturdy and strong for someone like Agustine. He stood straight in his place.
With a look that looks very calm, Adriano pulled the collar of Agustine's shirt and lifted it, so that Agustine had to tiptoe because he did not want to choke.
“Beyond or I break your neck,” bluff Adriano. He didn't look like he was playing games at the time. The calm face he had shown earlier had now turned into a terrifying grin.
Ciut, Agustine was forced to obey and get out of the way. Claudia did not dare to mediate. He was just stuck at the end of the stairs, watching someone who as a child he always beat up. Now, the boy had transformed into a peerless strong man. But eventually Claudia came in.
“There is nothing in Ilario's room,” Agustine said later in between his fears.
“If there isn't, why should you get in the way? Don't interfere because I decided,” Adriano started flipping pillows and blankets on the bed. He also shifted the sofa then opened the wardrobe. Not only that, the thirty-two-year-old man took out a drawer and threw out the entire contents. He only stopped when he found a large black parcel.
Immediately, Adriano opened it. For a moment he observed the package, then swerved. “Whose is this?” Adriano turned his head and looked at his mother and stepbrothers. Gianna immediately shook her head. It was obvious that he didn't know at all. Another case with Claudia and Agustine who suddenly pale.
“Which is this?”, whose is it again Adriano reached into the package and took out a few small plastic bags of white powder and threw them near Claudia's feet.
“What is it .…” Claudia hesitates to continue her words.
“Yes, that's heroin,” Adriano said. “Why does Ilario have this much heroin in his room? Is he part of a mafia organization or just a dealer?”
Agustine shook his head slowly. Cold sweat began to flow profusely on his forehead.
“No one wants to answer?” Adriano put one hand in his pants pocket, while the other hand reached into the phone and answered the incoming call. “How, Detective?” he asked without letting go of Agustine and Claudia. He muttered softly as he nodded slowly, then ended the call.
“Good. If no one is willing to answer, then let me guess for myself" Adriano put his phone back in his shirt pocket. “The men kidnapped Padre, as a result of Ilario's actions. Is that so, Mother?” she puts more emphasis on the word ‘ibu’.
