"What did you guys find?" Shreya asked seriously, no longer fooling around.

Zack connected his phone to the system and sat back on the chair facing Shreya.

Shreya obviously had her headphones on as she conversed. But her voice remained very small since she did not want to wake Akira up.

"Did you see the news?" Zack asked a question of his own settling down, instead of answering hers.

"Yes.. just. This is not done yet.. We are still in the middle of the mess. It is not just Naren.. he does not have the power to influence the police anymore!" Shreya analyzed.

"I know.. Your uncle asked us to investigate the whereabouts of Ram Srivastav in the past few months.." Zack answered as Pritham sent Shreya some emails over.

Shreya tapped away and opened her emails.

But her face was ice-cold as soon as Zack mentioned Ram Srivastav..

"We were able to rule out almost most of them he had met with in the last month or so.." Zack answered. From when Mithun was arrested, they actually had a guy follow him as a precaution. But there was never really anything suspicious about him. SO, they just watched in a distance after a while.

But given the situation now, they went back and investigated everything more thoroughly. Especially in the last few weeks leading up to the day.

"But there were a couple of them that we couldn't place. I have sent their photos. Some are really in a long shot.." Zack continued.

While Shreya simultaneously skimmed through the pictures. There were dozen or more pictures in there.. Her brows frowned in concentration as she swiped one picture after the other in quick succession.

She did not stay in one picture for more than a couple of seconds until she reached a picture in which Ram was having a coffee with a guy in a complete black costume and a mask.

Without the mask, Shreya wouldn't have given any special attention, but that mask and the black outfit were eye-catching.

"You know him?" Zack asked seeing her pause.

Shreya also connected her screen to Alice to make it more convenient. If possible she really would like to have this conversation face to face but given the situation, she cannot risk getting caught going outside given she was almost 'dying' as far as the public is concerned.

"I don't know.." Shreya muttered unsure as she zoomed in on the picture. The body structure did look familiar even though she cannot see his face. But then, her eyes stopped on his neck.. he had a tattoo in there..

"That looks familiar!!" Shreya murmured.

"Which one?" Pritham asked curiously.

"That tattoo.." Shreya answered. Since the photos were taken by her own guys, the clarity of the pictures was top-notch. She could clearly see the spider tattoo.

"That's a spider.." Pritham said absentmindedly staring at Shreya's screen just like Shreya was.

"Alice, you have the CCTV videos of my apartment right from that day when I was taken to meet Mr. Yash..? Stream it to my tablet," Shreya asked directly.

As soon as Shreya's voice was heard, Alice would automatically log into Shreya's personal account. Her account is the most active account anyways.

Alice is not just a smart software, but also an Artificial intelligence. So, the more you interact with her, the more she learns and adapts.

So, some commands that might confuse a guest user profile will actually not happen in an administrative user profile.

So, to Pritham's absolute surprise, Alice actually pulled up the footage and streamed it to Shreya's tablet.

"Pause.. Zoom in on the guy I am talking to. Zoom around his neck.." Shreya talked casually as Alice followed along with her instructions without any errors.

"That's the guy!" Zack said looking at both the images.

The shock cannot be suppressed in both the men's faces. While Shreya just stared at both the pictures coldly.

Even though Shreya was annoyed out of her head back then, she still did not have a single thing to do all the way to the meeting that day. So, she kept staring at everything and anything around her the whole ride. So, that guy's tattoo invariably registered in her head. Now, she was really glad that those assholes insisted on taking her that day personally.

"Holyshit, we are screwed," Pritham exclaimed first. But after a pause, he added more productively, "If Mr. Yash- the Prime Minister, is involved, we are going to hit walls if we want to move things legally.. Even if we get the evidence of Naren doing anything, it will be of no use!" He really couldn't help complain aggrievedly.

But Shreya remained silent.

"Did you guess it already?" Zack asked looking at her reaction.. or to be precise, the lack thereof.

Even he was surprised when he saw the two pictures. They made a thorough check before going to Yash.. He was power-hungry.. but was also loyal to the late Prime Minister, Mr. Girish. And he did not care about money.. all he cared about is his image.

He was not a saint. He was a politician after all.. but he did not seem completely unscrupulous either. So, he cannot have guessed he will turn on them.

What he cannot nail on is the motive.

Having Shreya's support is like having a constant and unlimited supply of dessert for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.. Only an idiot will severe such an easy and strong connection.

Even though having Shreya on his side had a nice touch and luxury to it, it was also a two-edged sword.

Shreya did not bow to anyone.. she does not fit into normal societal standards either. She does not make too much effort into giving face to anyone.

She stood up and tall all the time without bending for anything or anyone.

Yash cannot tolerate having such a person around him. Having her around, he would have to watch his actions and steps so carefully.. he should constantly watch over his shoulders too. And all this meant, he would be more of a puppet to Shreya.. which meant he would have no authority whatsoever.

And that right there was something he cannot let happen no matter what!
