Chapter 19

As all of the facts and new tips began to surface on the murder cases in Deira, Tariq spoke with the UAE police chief about what he knew, including the name of the respected Egyptian immigrant and engineer Mohd Ahmed Nasir.

Many of the police and investigators were still up after midnight, attempting to piece together the events of the evening, particularly after the police had shot and killed the poor laborer from Laos. That caused the heavy hitters to be called back onto the scene.

“Mohd? Did you say Mohd? The Egyptian last lived in this area,” the UAE police chief commented factually. Ali Youssef was a gray-bearded man in his late sixties who looked forward to retiring soon, but only after a solid apprentice with enough wisdom and experience could take over. So he remained sharply dressed in business attire to appear younger and fresher in his tiresome work.

Tariq confirmed his tip. “Yes, but my most recent information was that he lived in Sharjah.”

Ali shook it off. “No, he lives here now. My men thanked Mohd one night a few years ago when he settled another heated dispute in this area. That’s how I know. But what about him? You think Mohd had something to do with these atrocities?”

The chief was doubtful. Mohd had been known as a man of peace.

Tariq grinned and did not want to say more around so many ill-equipped men. He did not want them all to know Abdul Khalif Hassan’s personal business.

“I will tell you more about it in privacy. But if Mohd indeed lives in this area, then let’s knock on his door and ask him what he knows.”

The chief looked at his large gold watch. It was nearly one o’clock in the morning. “At this hour? There is such a thing called respect for your elders,” the chief joked. The private investigator and counsel was more than a dozen years younger.

Tariq smiled back. “Well, if he helped you before, then why not apologize for your urgency. We can tell him that we meant to seek his advice on this matter much earlier, but that time got away from us. Nevertheless, this matter is still urgent, particularly to consult with a man of your respect and influence.”

Ali laughed at his clever reasoning. He placed a kind hand on Tariq’s shoulder and said, “When are you coming back to the force? We could always use you. You know I plan to retire soon.”

Tariq chuckled. “I think I like to choose my work a lot more than I like it being assigned to me. I also prefer to work without the hassles of so many reports.” He pointed to his head with his index finger and concluded, “I like to file what I know right here.”

“You mean you like to be lazy while choosing to work for more money. I can’t argue with that, my friend.”

Tariq continued to counter him. “I don’t consider sixteen straight hours on the job as lazy. But your point about choosing to make more money is a fact.
