It was February 2019, a bunch of 12 blood-ridden dead bodies were found scattered on a street in Ankara, the capital city of Turkey. There were police all over, investigating the matter.

A bald headed policeman arrived. He looked strong and in stress. He was the commissioner Hüseyin Çapkın.

He asked his assistant, in stress,
"Selami, what's happening in Ankara these days ?! I don't understand. A same incident happened last week. Now again, it has happened. Is there a new mafia gang in Turkey ? Well, what about witnesses ? "

Selami replied with much concern,
"Sir, we are still investigating it. We also tried to investigate the earlier case, but we are finding no clue about them. And sorry sir, like last time there are no witnesses to this incident. But yes sir, we found one strange thing....."

Hüseyin asked,
"What's that ?"

"Sir, last time the dead bodies we found were Polish. I guess, there is a Polish mafia gang working in Turkey."

Then Hüseyin looked around, and spotted some CCTV cameras and he asked Selami,
"Did you checked the CCTV cameras ?"

Selami replied that they tried to do but CCTV cameras aren't working anymore.
Hüseyin then stressed and said,
"Just like the last time it happened. I guess these mysterious murderers or gangs are using some sort of EMP devices to disable the CCTV cameras so that they don't get caught. So clever !"

Selami said, surprisingly,
"Sir, then they must be very influential. If they are using high-tech devices like EMPs, then they are not any ordinary gangs. They can pose a threat to Turkey"

Hüseyin started stressing more and said Selami to investigate it quickly and come to a conclusion soon.

Police started wrapping up the dead bodies, collecting evidences and while media and public were trying to sneak in. Suddenly, a media reporter came and asked Hüseyin about all these. Hüseyin assured that they will find about it out soon. Later report came in, that this time the dead bodies were German, indicating an active presence of German mafia in Turkey as well.

Next day, all the important policemen sat in a meeting to find out a probable solution to these cases. All of them were arguing, when a police officer suggested to take Interpol's help. Everyone agreed there and then they contacted Interpol.

Interpol sent one of their best officers; Helal Uddin, a talented detective from Bangladesh to Ankara, Turkey.
Helal had a awesome reputation as a police officer. Soon he landed on Ankara, he instantly began investigating without wasting a single time.

Helal then looked into the files and noticed a strange thing; all those who died didn't have a mobile phone with them.
Helal was in jeopardy now. Helal's assistant Kylie asked,
"Now what we going to do, sir ?!"

Helal said, assuring,
"Don't worry. I have another plan"

Helal then commanded the policemen to give him the details of mobile phones active in those areas during the time of the murders. The police soon handed over the necessary details of mobile phones.
Helal looked at the details, then he gathered everyone's attention and said,
"Here's Çankaya (the place where German mafia bodies were found) and here is Kayaş (the place where Polish mafia bodies were found). Everyone look it at carefully. Only three specific phone numbers are common here, in both places. The numbers were active that time, on that crime scene. That's our target. We need to go after them. Find out who the numbers belongs to"

"Yes sir" , thundered the policemen.

It already became night 7 p.m. Helal was on the way to his hotel. His car stopped due to traffic on the roads of Ankara. Suddenly, a mysterious guy in black hoodie came out of nowhere and started knocking Helal's car mirrors, just beside Helal was sitting. Helal and the other policemen in the car were little surprised.
Helal touched his gun and opened the window. The hoodie guy instantly gave him a piece of paper and ran away.
Quickly Kylie and a policeman got out of the car to follow him in the middle of a traffic jam. But unfortunately, the traffic sorted and the vehicles started moving, and within that, the hoodie guy disappeared.
Helal opened the piece of paper and he saw something was written there.
" Officer Helal, if you want to know the mystery of the murders, you have to meet me alone. Trust me, I don't want to harm you. I just want to talk with you because it's important. Come today at 8:50 p.m in Sur Balik Restoran (Restaurant) in Çankaya. "

Kylie got inside the car and asked Helal about the paper. Helal said it's nothing.
Even though Kylie doubted that, but still she didn't asked anything further to Helal. After reaching the hotel, Helal told Kylie the truth about the paper.
Kylie, astonishingly said,
"Sir, I had a doubt that you were hiding something. Sir we should tell Ankara police about it. It can be dangerous" .

Helal said,
"It's not first time for us. Is it ?! Don't worry, I can take care of it. But don't follow me. Let's see what this mysterious guy has to tell about the murders".

After going out of hotel, Helal got a taxi and reached the Sur Balik Restoran in Çankaya. Helal was in front of the restaurant's transparent glass doors, and a waiter inside the restaurant opened the door for him and greeted him. Suddenly, another waiter came and asked Helal,
"Aren't you Interpol officer Helal ? Please come this way, sir"
Helal followed the waiter and he saw that a seat was reserved for him beside the large windows of the restaurant. The tables had three chairs. Helal realized that two persons are involved in calling him to a restaurant.
The waiter told Helal to wait for a minute.
"Sir, please wait for a minute. The two other men are coming. They are the ones who reserved this table for you" , said the waiter and he went away.

Helal sat and waited for a minute, and saw that two persons wearing black hoodie came in front of him. Helal slowly touched his gun under his pants. The hoodie wearing men sat in front of him.
One of them spoke out,
"Welcome, Officer Helal. Please be at ease. No need to touch your gun."

"Who are you people ?" , asked Helal giving them a stern look.

The hoodie guys took off their hoodies and to the shock, the guys were Helal's friends Saif and Mubarrat.
Saif and Mubarrat looked at each other and then gave a smiling look at Helal and asked Helal,
"Hey dude ! How's everything ? How's the investigation ?!"

"Saif, Mubarrat. You guys ?! What are you guys doing here ?! I can't believe it. It has been years since we met. Last time, I saw you guys were in the military. Well, how are you guys ?" , asked Helal.

"We are doing great. I guess you know why we called you here like this" , said Saif.

Helal then remembered that he was here for the murder case and then he said,
"Oh yes, murders of those mafia men. What do you know about their murders ? And yah, how did you know that I was investigating this case ?! Of course, the news media didn't said anything about it. Then how come ?"

"Oh c'mon. We keep track of everything. We surely know everything" , laughingly said Mubarrat.
Saif gave a smirking look and said,
"And the murders, we were the ones who murdered them"

Helal got shocked, and he stood up.
"What ?!?!!" , shockingly asked Helal.

"Relax, buddy. We are telling you the entire thing. Sit down, and let us tell the reason why we murdered those guys" , said Mubarrat.
