Chapter: 4: Is Family Everything?

Life doesn't always go as you want.

There are ups and downs in life.

But That's what makes life interesting.

Jacob was still confused about what Abi said.

"What does he mean by saying think like a black shoe? Do I have to become a black shoe?"- Ahh Man!...…

Jacob thought that matter for two days.

The office of Jacob is filled with criminals and many cases. The desk where he worked is packed with cases such as missing dog, cat, etc. He never got any major cases. This time requested Mr. Beak so much that he gave him a major case.

When he was in his office, he asked his crew member Kenri

" Do you know that that means?"

Kenri was astonished by hearing such a weird question. He never thought Jacob to ask such a strange question.

"I think...You have to be one of them to understand them...That might be the answer. but why are you asking such a question?"

"Somebody who has high IQ said to me that it is the hint of this case."

"I don't have much time left... Okay, Kenri

I'm leaving everything to you. The only way left is to ask him."

Jacob departed from the office hurriedly.

So far the case...

------End-------

Jacob reached the store a few minutes after his departure.

The door made a creaky sound as Jacob went into the store.

"Hey! Did you know What kind of pleasure I was going through because of your stupid riddle?"

Abi wasn't in his store. It looked like made fun of himself. There was no one inside the store. Jacob roaming around here and there. Everything in that is different than any other store. The books, Banner, the whole appearance. A book was laying down on the table. Jacob found the name very interesting.

'Out of ordinary by William Henry'

"Strange I never heard of this writer. If Abi was reading this book, it has to be some well-known writer."

Jacob quickly flipped the book so he could get to more about that writer.

>About William Henry

He is known to the worst Psychopath. He murdered exactly 1023 people. He wrote every murder in his notebook. In his lifetime, he killed 1023 people in different ways. Everyone one of the murder is dissimilar to others. He was arrested on his 1024th murder. His last wish before Execution was to publish his notebook.<

Abi took the book from Jacob's hand all at once.

"What are doing here?"

Jacob was quiet for a few seconds. He was astonished by Abi's sudden appearance.

"I-i came to clarify something."

"I see, wait.."

Abi quickly organized his desk. He locked the book in a drawer. The key to the drawer was with Abi. It's his personal drawer where he put all his personal belongings.

"So, Mister detective what is that you need from me?" said Abi while organizing the books.

Jacob started talking with confidence

"Firstly did you play a prank on me? It wasn't a clue, was it? Secondly even it was a clue I couldn't crack it."

Abi wasn't really paying attention to him.

"I surely give you a clue. You just had to find it. Buy this book. Who knows it might have the answer to your question."

Jacob became angry all of a sudden.

"Are you making a profit from me? Well if you wouldn't tell me then I just have to read that book."

Abi didn't really want to answer him but he did.

"Of course, I want to profit. You have visited my shop two times but didn't buy a single book."

Abi pushed Jacob with his teasing talk.

"Fine... fine, I understand that being said I am leaving now."

Jack brought that book Abi gave him. Its name is-

>Is family everything? by Alex Grande<

Jacob started reading the book while laying down on the bed.

*Family an important thing in a child's life. It is as important as his born. If a child born but couldn't find his family, it would cause him great problems. Mother is an important family member. She supports her child in every aspect ratio. Mother is known to be the greatest teacher in one's life. Though it could be also contradictory. The life of a mother is hard. One can be daring to lead a life of mother....*

"What exactly is that? A definition of the family...Did I again got pranked? No that can't be?

After reading some more Jacob went back to sleep. The case progress was nowhere near finishing up.
