Secrets of the Solomons

9. Detective William:

*2nd August,2023*

I meant it when I said I would stand by Fiona's side. But I am not so sure she's truly innocent at all. I'm not sure any member of her family is innocent.

I know I backed out the last time Fiona gave me a chance to see inside her family. And I lost the chance to see the evidence the moment I kept it in the locker. But now I can't shake the feeling that there's more to this situation than meets the eye. I need to find a way to uncover the truth, even if it means going against Fiona and her family.

I lost the evidence. I tired of going back and checking out the locker. But it had all disappeared. As if someone took it away.

So I hired a private investigator. A very good one. A retired FBI agent who specializes in uncovering hidden truths. Although I am a detective myself, I am not so good at the snooping business. I knew I needed someone with experience and skills to help me navigate this tricky situation. With the private investigator on the case, I felt hopeful that we would finally get to the bottom of this mystery and uncover the truth hidden behind Fiona's family secrets.

I am hopeful. That I can bring justice to all those who committed crimes. I don't care if Fiona did it for a reason. If she committed a crime, she committed a crime. I am determined to see this investigation through to the end, no matter what obstacles may arise. Justice must be served, regardless of the circumstances surrounding Fiona's actions.

Finally, the FBI agent caught a loose end. The Solomons have their own guards. Behind their business tycoon facade, they are involved in illegal activities in the name of ensuring their wealth and reputation. In other words, a mafia.

The family members who were less rich and famous worked as mafia members and were paid a salary. Whereas the non-related members of the mafia were recruited based on their skills and loyalty, often coming from disadvantaged backgrounds with limited employment options. The Solomons operated with a strict code of silence and secrecy, making it difficult for law enforcement to gather evidence against them.

The outsiders endure immense and extreme training and lots of screening processes in order to prove their loyalty and dedication to the Solomons. This strict recruitment process ensured that only the most trustworthy individuals were allowed into the inner circle of the mafia family.

Although we have no evidence, these are all just things the investigator heard by eavesdropping for countless hours. It was hard for us to find a loose end, and it took us countless hours of research to find something.

Zachary Solomon, the nephew or doctor who saved Peter Solomon's life, was behind a lot of murders that happened in the government and business sectors. The Solomons were known for their ruthless tactics and ability to eliminate anyone who posed a threat to their operations. This made them a powerful force in the criminal underworld, with Zachary Solomon emerging as a key player in their illegal activities.

According to the information, Zachary's father, Fiona's uncle, had wanted Zachary to follow in his footsteps, but Zachary wanted to be a doctor. Which was frowned upon by the family then. Zachary was no longer given allowances and would not be given the fees for medical school. He became so broke that he couldn't afford to keep the rich boy lifestyle. So to financially support his lifestyle, he resorted to working in the mafia until he had enough money for medical school and quit.

Despite his initial reluctance, Zachary eventually found himself deeply entrenched in the criminal world, utilizing his intelligence and resourcefulness to climb the ranks. However, as he accumulated wealth through illicit means, he never lost sight of his ultimate goal of becoming a doctor.

He was used to starting a hospital under the family's name, and suddenly the job was no longer frowned upon.

He was still behind the murder of many government officials who were against the family. Terminating them allowed the family to put corrupt officials in power. Puppets who would sit and stand at their command.

I will save the evidence for now. Until I need it.
