My Second Marriage with the Mafia Kingpin novel Chapter 221

Chapter 221: Something For Himself

"It’s the White Serpent Brotherhood!"

Gustav and Lukas furrowed their brows as they glanced at each other. A moment later, their eyes fell on Gin, who was visibly winded from sprinting to the office.

"Gin, drink a glass of water," Gustav said. "We’ll hear this out right after."

Gin nodded and marched outside, the duo following behind him. On the way, he grabbed a bottle of water from a stand in the hallway and took a few long gulps.

Once they reached his office, he settled into his seat while Gustav and Lukas stood behind him.

"New reports just came in," Gin began. "According to the police, someone called in and gave tips about the other locations."

After all, Mole Guy’s remains had been spread across different locations. Each body part had coordinates drawn on its skin, and before the police could piece it all together, anonymous tips had already been sent to stations in various areas, pointing them toward the other parts.

Sure enough, the police would arrive at each location and find a human body part waiting.

For the entire day, police departments across different areas had been busy coordinating with one another, as they had no identity for the man.

Gin’s initial plan had been to bait whoever came to retrieve the remains. The underground was a violent place, but many of its people followed a code. And sometimes, recovering a fallen colleague was just as important as anything else.

He had been counting on someone to come for the remains. With Lucian’s approval, he had stationed people to watch the locations for any sign of movement.

What he hadn’t anticipated was that the people he was trying to bait were just as clever, using the coordinates themselves to tip off the police about the pieces.

"But even after the coordinates were given, and the police managed to retrieve the pieces," Gin continued, "someone called in claiming to be a family member of the deceased."

Gin paused and looked up at Gustav and Lukas.

Gustav had his hand resting on the edge of the desk, one brow raised. His eyes lingered on Gin before he straightened.

"And they were part of the White Serpent?"

Gin shook his head. "No — he’s actually a biological cousin. And he’s not part of any organization. He lives a normal life, well within the law."

"What about it?" Lukas frowned. "Gin, just get to the point."

"The thing is, the people we sent to look into him found something," Gin said, pulling up tabs on his screen. "They confirmed that the person trying to retrieve the body is a real cousin. But in the days prior, he’d been caught acting strangely."

"Just hours after we recovered the madam, things were already moving on the other side," he explained, his voice grave. "And here — this is footage of the cousin. He was showing up in places he’d have no reason to visit, considering the gang activity in those areas."

Footage of the man appeared on the screen.

"Not to mention, based on the timestamps, the amount of time he spent there was short — but long enough to receive orders, if that was the case," he continued. "We confirmed the locations and the particular establishments he was seen entering and leaving."

"We confirmed two things from these," he said, pausing to hit Enter and pull up another clip of the cousin at a payphone.

"First, this cousin is the one who tipped off the police." Gin glanced between the two men before turning back to the monitor.

He typed again and brought up something new. "And second, this particular establishment is run by a gang. A gang that the White Serpent Brotherhood has recently absorbed."

"I double-checked, and I realized the locations where the madam told me to scatter the remains all fall within territories controlled by gangs that recently aligned themselves with the White Serpents," Gin added quietly, leaning back in his chair.
