"okay team, what do we have?" taehyung questioned, putting up a picture of sherly on the board. 

"her sons name is marshall and he is in his 30's, he works as a teacher for highschool students." josh said pulling up an image of him onto the tv. "we are gonna have to go talk to him" jungkook said looking at his watch to see school would still be running. 

"if we show up at three when school ends then go in when there is no one there?" jimin questions. 

"okay chief jeon and officer park will go with me to interview him- we will leave in 10" taehyung replied. 

"do we have any other information?" the male questions. 

"yes, apparently no neighbours heard a gunshot. sherly owns a business, she visits her sister every wednesday and marshall is her only child. she had no partner" acacia. 

"okay, any evidence come back yet?" jungkook questioned but they shook their heads. 

"okay, we need to find about the gun. what gun was used? hopefully that is one of the first things that comes back from evidence" jimin sighed. 

"okay, while we go interview marshall, you guys keep doing what you are doing! you all are doing really well" taehyung commended his team who gave him a smile. 

"is mum okay to have the kids for a little longer?" jungkook questioned

"yeah, she called and said she heard about what happened and that she will look after them for as long as we need; she said that once we are done for the day to come over and she will have dinner ready for us" taehyung replied smiling.

"your mum is a treasure" he continued. 

"she really is" jungkook said as he focused on the road. 

they were now parked by the school, the bell had just rung and they were now waiting for the students to mostly leave. "there are so many people walking out the gates" jimin said. 

"yeah there is, how do people ever get out" jungkook said. 

"okay we can go now" taehyung said as they all hopped out the car, he made sure that car was locked before they walked into the office. jungkook scanned the room a little before stepping towards the front desk. 

"hello there, how may I help you?" a lady behind the front desk asked. 

"we are looking for a teacher here under the name marshall, as you may know his mother passed away this morning and we have a few questions for him" jungkook stated, voice filled with confidence. she nodded her head and wrote down the classroom number. 

once she handed the number to jungkook they thanked her before leaving the office and walking down the hallway. 

"how long do you think it is going to take us to find this classroom?" jimin questioned as he scanned the numbers on the blue doors. "how about 1 second" taehyung said pointing towards the door with the number 12 on it. 

jungkook put the paper into his pocket and walked into the classroom, to see a male sitting behind a desk. wiping his tears away as he grades papers. 

"excuse me?" taehyung said, catching the attention of marshall who stood up when he noticed the three males entering the room with badges on their belts. 

"I had a feeling you would come see me" marshall said walking towards them and shook their hands. 

"please, take a seat" he offered pointing towards some chairs by his desk. 

"thank you" jimin replied as the three cops sat down. 

"first we would like to say we are really sorry about what happened to your mother" taehyung said. 

"I appreciate that, thank you" he let out a little smile before wiping his eyes. 

"if its okay, we would like to ask some questions?" marshall nodded and sat down behind his desk.

"could you let us know what your relationship was like with your mum?" jimin asked

"it was not the greatest, in all honesty. we had very different views on everything and always argued. she put her friends before her own son and that was where arguments between us started." marshall answered. 

"we heard that you only ever talked to her you needed for money; do you take any medication or drugs that are not scripted to you?" taehyung asked.

"I do have medical drugs that I take that are scripted; i have never gone to her for money. I did when I was younger as I had no job at the time but besides that nothing." he replied. 

"could you give us a statement of your week?" jungkook asked grabbing out a note pad. 

"school has been back for 2 weeks now, classes start at 8:40am and end at 3:00pm. on wednesdays we start later at 9:30am as the teachers have a staff meeting." jungkook nodded and started to jot down everything he was saying. 

"I wake up at 7am get here by 8 every morning. I visit friends in the weekend, go home around 5:00pm everyday. I grade papers and go over learning criteria for the next lessons" marshall said. 

"do you know of anyone she did not get along with?" taehyung asked 

"yeah, my father." marshall said writing down some information on paper before handing it to taehyung.

"where were you the day she was killed?" jungkook asked 

"I was in class, teaching the day she was found" he replied. 

"do you have any witnesses besides your students that can approve of that?" jimin asked.

"yes, I will get them to write a statement. and I will bring it in to you guys personally" he said 

"thank you, that will be all for today. we will contact you throughout the week so dont leave town" jungkook said before the three of them walked out.
