Chapter 25
Adikor, accused of murdering Ponter, seeks help from his partner Lurt to analyze evidence and enlists Ponter's daughter Jasmel to accompany him to the mine where Ponter disappeared. However, judicial scrutiny imposed after the accusation restricts Adikor's movements, preventing him from accessing his lab or the mine without supervision. Despite Jasmel's support and willingness to intervene, the enforcer Dut blocks their attempts, emphasizing the legal constraints and the presumed death of Ponter.
