He soon realises that the issue was more serious when people begin to die. Eventually, he decides to get to the bottom of the issue when his uncle is also killed by gangsters.
When he begins to investigate his uncle’s death, he finds that several killings have taken place and that they are all connected. This is the crux of the show.
