Klahan conceded it was a almost impossible task to find Jake family's killers as it happened a long time ago. Most if not all the culprits would have been killed, disappeared or untraceable. But Tony and Maniam did not want to give up so easily. They persuaded and promised Klahan S$100K if he could help trace or find the killers. It was an extremely good deal for Klahan especially when one converts the 100k into Thai Bahts. Klahan was offered a deal which he cannot turned down. Using his wide contacts, Klahan went on searching for the killers.
At first he visited Chai the gun dealer. Chai was a pro and whenever anyone purchased any weapons from him, he would secretly video taped the whole deal with a hidden pin hole camera, unknown to the buyers. He would keep a record of the videos and would not destroyed them even after many years, just in case....
Chai was offered a big sum of cash if he could show the videos of all his customers for that particular year when Jake's family was assassinated.
Klahan,Tony and Maniam were driven to a place and ushered into a dark room somewhere near Chai's office and shown the videos of Chai's customers. Tony took down some notes and several times stopped the videos to snap pictures of some Chai's customers.
After the screening of the videos, Chai was handed an envelope of hard cash, amounting to a couple of thousands of US dollars by Tony.
Back in the hotel room,Tony and company sat down and had a couple of drinks. They ordered room service. After their meals, they decided to tour Bangkok night spots. Khalan was their tour leader. He brought them to the famous Patpong a red district.
One of the world's most famous red-light districts, Patpong is where it all started (Thailand's Go-Go culture). It has even been immortalised in a James Bond chase-sequence. Its two parallel side-streets, found between Silom and Surawongse Roads, house around 100 neon-lit strip bars offering naughty shows and the famous pole-dancing entertainment.
Tony decided that the 50 or so customers of Chai's in the videos during 1993 when the murder took place should be narrowed down to a few. The murder was on 23 December 1993. With some quick calculation, Tony and Maniam decided to look for Chai's customers who bought their guns a day or two before 23 December 1993.
Klahan took a few pictures of the men in the videos and showed them to his ex colleagues in the police force. They did a study and zeroed down to two men who may have committed the murder in Singapore. They discovered one of the two men was already dead and another one was serving time in a Thai prison for extortion and robbery.
The job for Klahan was now to interrogate the man in the prison and find out whether he did commit the murder and on whose instruction. It was a difficult task for Klahan. How was Klahan to get into contact with the prisoner let alone interrogate him?
A few days later, Klahan managed to find someone who could help him meet the prisoner face to face. It was a complicated deal but succeeded mainly due to some financial incentive.
Someone stood in the place of the prisoner. He was smuggled out and sent to meet Klahan, Tony and Maniam. After a few days of strong-arm persuasion, the killer spilled the beans.
It was unprofessional for a hired killer to divulged any information to anyone about his assignment. He would be condemned by the underworld assassins and often exterminated after leaking out information. This was a vow a hired killer would take before taking on any assassination. But here with strong arm tactics he had no choice but to confess.
For his assistance, the killer's term in prison would be shortened from 10 years to 5. It was a bargain which Klahan struck with the authorities whom he had assured of great financial rewards.
The killer brought Klahan and his associates to the house of the man who hired him and his partner for the job in Singapore.
The man's name was Preecha which in Thai means wisdom or intelligence.He was known by his friends and business associates as Cha.
Cha lived in a huge house with high fences and 3 fierce Rottweilers with killing instinct. These dogs were well trained to protect the property and it's owners. No one dared go near the sprawling property of Cha's. Besides, Cha had a few body guards to protect him. Yes Cha was a wealthy man with lots of government and underworld connection.
Maniam although a 3rd Dan TKD black belt exponent was terrified at the sight of the 3 dogs. As a child he had been attacked by a mongrel back in Malaysia. That bitter and painful experience stayed with him even till this day. On the other hand Tony was an expert in dog handling. He was in the dog unit of the police force when he was a young officer.
Tony knew very well that it was easy to kill the 3 Rottweilers. Through his wide experience, he knew lacing meat with Xylitol,an artificail sweetener used in human food can be lethal to the dogs.
That evening, they set out to capture Cha. First thing Tony did was to feed the 3 dogs with meat laced with Xylitol which would instantly kill them. Second thing was for them to cut the wired fences. Third was to disarm the body guards,gag and tie them up. All three things, the men did with perfection.
Lastly, the 3 men approached the huge house and look for Cha. They could not find him at first but the gushing sound of the water through the piped line told them that Cha could be in the bathroom. They rushed to the bathroom on the upper floor and indeed found a burly man of about 60 years old in a Jacuzzi.
Cha reached out for his revolver which was placed near his Jacuzzi. Instinctively, Maniam
swiftly kicked it out of Cha's reach. A fight broke out between the naked Cha and Maniam.
Cha was no match for the TKD expert. He was knocked almost unconscious. They then tied Cha up and quickly bundled him to a waiting car.
Thirty minutes of speedy driving brought them to an old dilapidated house. Here, they interrogated Cha and found out that he was the man who ordered the killing of Cheng,Jake's late father and his whole family. Nothing more was divulged.
Tony called Jake in Singapore and told him of their success. " Do you want us to get rid of Cha?" Tony asked Jake. " Nope,I will do the job myself "...came the stern reply. " I will take the first flight to Bangkok now.....and you make sure he does not escape" Jake ordered Tony.
It was in the wee of the morning that a Thai Airway jet brought Jake to Bangkok International Airlport. There was Klahan in his Mercedes Sports to pick Jake up.
They arrived at the place where Cha was confined.
" At last, I have met my family's killer..." Jake swore at Cha. " Now it is my turn to spray bullets into your numbskull head " Jake shouted angrily at Cha. " Wait let me explain first" pleaded the older man. " Why should I listen to your explanation huh?....you killed my family without giving them a chance to have their last meal.." Jake tearfully told Cha.
" But I am your father, Jake or whatever your name is" cried Cha.
Cha then went on to explain why he ordered the killing of Cheng and his family and sparing Jake's life. The story went on like this according to Cha......
Many years ago, Cheng and Cha were business partners. Things went sour and Cheng felt Cha had cheated him. Cheng took vengeance by kidnapping Cha's young wife and raped her. She gave birth to a baby boy. According to Cha, Cheng got rid of the boy's mother and brought the boy up as his own son. That boy was Jake.
Jake, Tony and the rest of the men were shocked at the revelation. Cha claimed that his wife was made pregnant by him and when Cheng had raped her, the unborn child was his (Cha's). The story was unbelievable and Jake decided a DNA test would be appropriate to find out the truth.
The result of the DNA test came a week later. It was established Cha was truly Jake's father. " The DNA test can't lie, Jake.....I am your real father and not Cheng" Cha pleaded tearfully. Jake couldn't accept the reality that the killer Cha was his own flesh and blood. " I don't care a damn!" shouted the young hot blooded Jake.
He took Klahan's revolver and pointed it at Cha's head. " Say your last prayer my precious DAD!" Jake screamed at Cha. Jake's trembling finger was slowly about to squeeze the trigger........
Two days later, Jake, Tony and Maniam took a SQ flight bound for Singapore. A few days later, payment of a cool $1 million was paid to Tony.
Maniam got his share of 150k and Klahan 100k. After deducting expenses, Tony kept 600k to himself. It was a job well done by the trio.
At first he visited Chai the gun dealer. Chai was a pro and whenever anyone purchased any weapons from him, he would secretly video taped the whole deal with a hidden pin hole camera, unknown to the buyers.

Its two parallel side-streets, found between Silom and Surawongse Roads, house around 100 neon-lit strip bars offering naughty shows and the famous pole-dancing entertainment.
Patpong has long since been usurped as the 'king of the scene' by Soi Cowboy, its counterpart around Sukhumvit. However, its reputation means it's still a huge attraction, mainly for sightseers more interested in ogling at - rather than indulging in - the carnal delights on offer. But while for men Patpong is likely to mean 'adult', for women Patpong definitely means 'night market'. At night this teems with hawkers and humble stalls selling what is mostly tourist tat.
They patronised a few go-go bars and drank themselves silly that night.
The next morning, Tony, Maniam and Klahan started to work frantically on quest to find Jake's family killers. Jake had called and enquired how things were progressing. The young man was getting impatient with Tony. Jake demanded quick results to the point Tony almost wanted to give up the assignment. But for a million bucks Tony tolerated Jake's impatience and decided to preserve.
