Murder Inquiry Chapter One
Chapter One10th January 2009Lagos, Nigeria.It was 1am and Biola Johnson sat at her table, in her bedroom in her palatial home located on Osborne road in Ikoyi, a highbrow area in the city of Lagos.She sat at the table studying the loan deal she signed three years ago, an activity she’s been performing at about the same time everyday, for the past three months.It was a chilly harmattan morning, and even though she had all her windows and curtains closed and her socks on, she still felt the cold all over her.This particular hamrmattan period was the worst she had ever witnessed in her entire life. It seemed as if the cold enveloped her and seeped through her body like a penetrating liquid, making her shiver badly like a leafless tree in the middle of a storm.Apart from the harmattan, something else was making her shiver-the document she was studying. At the time she had applied for the loan from Edwin Loans, a c

As he took his bath, he thought about the profits his organization are in a position to make from the sale of the collections of the two that just lost their lives.He got out of the shower and chose a blue designer suit out of his closet, he looked at himself in the mirror he’s gotten fatter every day since he started eating out, and he was too busy to go to the gym.He sighed, ‘well that is just a small price to pay for the profits I make’ he thought to himself.He stepped out of his stone house on east fifty-fourth Street, and got into the limousine parked in front of his house. “Dimarco’s” h

Chapter Three11th January 2009.New York City, USA.Danny woke up at 4:30am feeling the same way he always since the day John Wayne gave him the case to investigate. He had been rolling from side to side on his bed, almost throughout the night the thoughts of nailing Wolfgang was what filled his mind.He had a quick shower and put on his sports gear, he locked his apartment front door and went to the gym. As usual he got to the gym and went to the treadmill, as he exercised he thought of ways he could get incriminating information from Edwin Loans without suspicion from Wolfgang.He thought about a break-in to the bank headquarters, bugging their phones, or hacking into their systems to get information.But he decided against it as he remembered “never embarrass the bureau”. a popular maxim used at Quantico, attributed to Hoover himself.Something made him look up, and he saw Becky, Wolfgang’s secr

He had taken a stroll around the hotel premises, and down the street where the hotel was situated, and he enjoyed what he saw. He was beginning to feel like he likes Lagos, and the thought of relocating to Lagos was becoming more appealing.A lot of things about Lagos looked appealing to him, from the weather wasn’t as cold as the winter where he was coming from, to the hotel he was staying in which has the same facilities that a hotel in any of the first world country would have.

He wondered for a moment if he could penetrate through a member of Wolfgang’s staff, but he dismissed the thought as soon as he came, Wolfgang’s staff must have been suspicious of their boss, and would know that if he was behind those murders, then their lives are at risk, so they wouldn’t want to fraternize with anyone from the outside.Thirty minutes after he began to exercise on the treadmill, a beautiful woman walked past him, and started excercising on the treadmill right next to his.Danny paused what he was doing for a moment, and turned to look at th

Chapter Twenty-FourRodriguez and the rest of his team stood around in the sitting room of their suite, getting their ammunitions ready for the operation.They had swept the suite earlier, but they could not find any spying device, so they had decided to stick to the theory that the couple only found out about their maid being an accomplice, and about the spying devices installed in their home, accidentally.Rodriguez had shrugged, and had told them they are better equipped than the police, so even if the police know about the planned operation tonight, they would not be able to do much to stop them.He loaded magazines into his M4 rifle, he had earlier put two 9mm Glock pistols, each with a silencer screwed onto it, in a pouch on each shoulder, he also put a six inches knife in a holster built into his jean trousers, he then took a pair of night vision goggles from his suitcase.After arming himself, he put on a Louis Vuitton jacke

CHAPTER Twenty-three“Boss, it seems like the gang members are beginning to suspect that they are being spied on” Pat said.Danny shrugged.“Well let’s see how it goes, we would continue with our plan, and hope they don’t change their minds” Danny said.“So have you gotten the Police on board?” Pat asked.“Yes they are on board, and we would be on ground with them, you would have to stay in the hotel, and wait for the gang to make their move” Danny said.“Sir, what if they sweep their suites, and remove the devices like they wanted to just a few minutes ago?” Pat asked.“Don’t worry, we are using a passive surveillance device, so there’s no way they can find out if they are being spied on, because there’s no spying device in their rooms, so even if they sweep their suite, they would not find anything that can point t

They merged onto Ikorodu road, and drove on, in the direction of the third mainland bridge.Suddenly, the car they were following veered off the road, to a side road. Pat’s driver followed and they kept going till the gang’s car stopped in front of a store.“Keep moving” Pat said, as his driver attempted to stop.The driver drove further down the road, and parked about one hundred and fifty metres ahead.“Turn the car around” Pat said, and the driver
