After being kicked out by Umair, Raihan could only totter back to the flat with his tail tucked away. There was something Umair was keeping from him, Raihan knew his friend far too well. But until Umair said anything of his own volition, Raihan pushing for information will only annoy him.

He took one of the chances to go to Abdullah bin Laith's apartment. The investigation was fully completed but the flat was still under supervision of the police. Raihan was still curious about the motive of this man.

According to the most recent report from Dr Taimy, the patients will all recover, In Sha Allah. So, it was clear that he gave them a non-lethal dose. Clearly, he had no intention of murder. Moreover, they took it from him willingly, and he himself took it afterwards.

Perhaps he had an unstable mindset, something that affected him personally.

Raihan wanted to unravel it.

The flat has been combed through until not a speck dust was left untouched. However, the police had not been able to get in contact with his relatives. All his neighbours report he's lived alone, and they've never seen anyone coming in or out of his flat. Within his personal document, there were not listed relatives nor their contact information.

He either had a falling out with them, or he did not have any relatives.

There was a small tea shop by the corner of Road 7. A few sets of old, quaint tables and chairs were placed by its' door. The front of Abdullah's flat building was visible from there. Raihan took refuge there to keep an eye out.

It was in his second day he noticed something strange. A man came by the building, walked back and forth for around five to ten minutes before leaving. He did this several times, initially with long gaps between each. Later after almost every Salah.
