More than a hunderd safty boxes were broken open, leaving the less valuable loots scattered 4 over the floor. The thieves got away with more than one hundred million dollars worth of diamonds, the biggest known gem 5 heist in the world.-The next question was who was responsible for this.

-Some doubt came into our mind, like how are we going to solve this thing.

And something comes naturally to l*'s smuggler 9 Samule S*.
-Beautiful stone, beautiful. I can never forget the stone.
His lust 10 for diamonds had let him to corrupt 11 dealers 12, ruthless killers 13 and jail.
