SOLVED! The Mysterious Disappearance of Jim Thompson, the Thai Silk King

Chapter 9

Dr Ling meets a shady character

Dr Ling got back to Singapore the following day. Just after he arrived at his home, he received a call from a man who identified himself as Michael Ian Vermont. He told Dr Ling he had some information with regards to Jim's whereabouts. He asked if he could meet up with Dr Ling to see if they could discuss the subject a little further. Without any hesitation, Dr Ling agreed.

When he arrived at Dr Ling's residence, the visitor seemed a bit nervous. After gaining his composure, he informed Dr Ling that Jim was being kept at a house in Tapah. He added that if Dr Ling was prepared to accompany him to the municipality, the two of them could look into Jim's possible release.
