The time was actually lost. The lines of the Sultans’ destinies could tell a lot. For example, that the client who did not teach the Sultan had a direct and direct relationship to Arthur’s business. He also, like everyone else, was waiting for Arthur to pass away, and then his brothel in Moscow, along with his girls, would pass to him. He had all the papers ready. Sultana could easily lead the police to this man. But she didn’t know about it. The client still wanted to get Sultana for comfort, and then keep her as a living commodity, Arthur did not know about it. Sultana was a sought-after commodity, and not only were the police looking for her as a stranded citizen, but also several of Arthur’s competitors.
The next day, the investigator came to interrogate, or rather to talk to the Sultan. Amir was a translator, and from that moment, their close communication began. Amir and Sultana were to some extent closely related. They had one goal to catch the criminal, Sultana was the victim, and Amir was the defender and translator.
– Tell us from the very beginning how you met.
– It all started with the fact that my father and I lived very poorly. My father was widowed early, and at that time, he was out of work. And one day I went dancing to improve my financial situation with my father. Exactly a year later, I became the best dancer in our city. My father and I were well known and respected in the city. I had nothing to be afraid of. Every evening I returned home to my father, and we were happy. One day a man came to one of the restaurants where I performed every Thursday, it was Arthur. He started coming every Thursday. I did not pay any attention to him. I thought it was just a tourist from another city. But one fine evening he offered me a job in our capital city of Phnom Penh. Of course, I refused; I did not want to leave my father’s house anywhere. And from that moment on, he literally began to haunt me. It got to the point that this man started telling me that he would kill my father if I did not go with him. I had to agree. I did not tell my father anything. I said it was temporary and I would definitely come back. With these words, Sultana burst into tears. She could not talk anymore.
– You will definitely come back. This bastard will soon be put on the criminal wanted list in many countries.
– He has a private plane; he will fly wherever he wants. Sultana was so hopelessly desperate to catch Arthur, for her he was invulnerable.
– I do not know how to assure you. But if we help each other, then things will go uphill. Amir was so penetrated by Sultana’s grief that he was ready to cry himself. – What happened next?
– Then I performed all over the capital. I was taken to banquets, cafes and restaurants. I became famous. At first, everything was fine. I had a house that Arthur rented for me. This house was guarded; it was safer for me myself. I had money, I sent most of it to my father, and I kept less for myself. Then I began to notice that I had imperceptibly turned into a prisoner. The guards literally chased me, and sometimes I just could not go to the store, they would not let me out. Then I began to receive less money, and eventually the connection with my father stopped. I became a prisoner, and one day I found out that I was flying to Russia. This news sent me into shock. I realized that this is the end. Sultana’s eyes were full of tears, and her voice was hoarse. And I decided to run. During my entire stay in Phnom Penh, I noticed that one of the guards who stand at the entrance to my house likes me. I managed to get him to talk, and he confessed his love to me and offered to run away together. Then he disappeared without a trace. Sultana could not stand it and burst into tears.
– Let’s let her calm down. Maybe that is enough for today. The investigator stood up.
– No, I will continue. A week later, I managed to overhear that this guy was killed because he was able to steal my passport to escape. Also from their conversation, I found out who Arthur is. He is a murderer. And he killed many people. He kills everyone he does not need anymore. Those who have served their service have brought their benefits. From their conversation, I realized that he only needed me to open the restaurant that I opened. Then he will kill me. And I decided to run alone, by myself. I managed to go to the store for shopping. Accordingly, under escort. Two guards accompanied me. They were so afraid of losing me, and they lost me. I ran away. I succeeded. Without a passport, with a small amount of money, I managed to hide with a kind woman, and I told her everything. This woman understood me and helped me. Her relatives took me to my father. And I managed to see him. Sultana fell silent.
– You have achieved a lot. Well done. You are here. And your father is alive, too. Everything will be fine. Sultana looked straight into Amir’s eyes, trying to figure out if he was lying to her.
– We arrived late at night. Father was not expecting us. I could not tell him what position I was in. And Karima did it. She told him everything. I was so ashamed. But my father, he and I are so close. He raised me after my mom left us. In the morning, the guests left us, and we had to go to the police and write a statement, but Arthur’s people broke into the house and started shooting. I thought my father was murdered. I was taken out of the house, and on the same day, they brought me to Moscow. In Moscow, I found out that my father was alive, this news infuriated Arthur, and he decided to get rid of both of us. First from me, then from my father.
– From whom you will learn this news.
– I am eavesdropping. I can eavesdrop.
– You are doing great. Amir translated everything word for word. And Sultana broke into a smile.
– After my performance, I was locked in the basement, where I found out the latest news, and they took me somewhere again. Where I do not know. But the guy who was driving, he knew where and why we were going. And after Arthur said the words in Russian, he looked at me and gave a sign. I realized that this was my chance, and I began to hold on tighter. The driver accelerated the car and put Arthur under attack. Then you know.
– Yes. Then we know. You are doing great. You have told us a lot and helped us a lot. We will see you again. The investigator left the chamber, leaving Sultana and Amir alone.
– I will come to you tomorrow. Rest today, you are tired. Amir went out, leaving Sultana alone. Sultana looked out the window as Amir and the investigator got into the car. Then she went to bed and fell asleep.
– From the general picture, it is clear that this Arthur is looking after poor girls in restaurants that no one will look for much. Then he takes them to another country and when the girl is no longer needed, he gets rid of her. This picture has been painted for a long time, but it is not easy to prove it.
– Yes. This is a complicated case. We need to figure out how to contact her father. He needs to be informed that she is all right.
– It is better not to do that.
– I know. But she’s so worried about her father. Maybe something really will happen to him.
– «Something will happen to him if he finds out she’s alive. He will go to the police and tell them everything.
– «Oh, so he doesn’t know she’s dead yet. So leave it as it is. In a month, everything will fall into place by itself.
– Do you think in a month?
– I think yes, and be sure to examine her legs. This is very
