Chapter Twenty-Seven

[WARNING]

[Flashback]

"What are you saying, Jay?! There is no possible way he knows! Didn't the other team members defend me?"

"That man told your team to move stations so that his own team can take over completely. Of course they couldn't defend you," Jay explains silently as he looks around the parking lot.

"Then how the fuck did you know about this?!" Jih hissed angrily.

"I-I asked him. I went to offer help and he said he didn't need any. An--"

"Oh my god!! Who even appointed you as a police officer?! The man probably never had any proof that it was me but now that you talked to him, he knows it was me!" Jih groans in annoyance.

"I-I--"

"Shut up! I am sure he doesn't have any proof but knows it is me...He won't actually try to arrest me because there is no solid proof. I have to be careful during the interrogation."

"Y-yes. I am sorry, man," Jay apologized.

"Whatever. Never do anything like this again without telling me. I already have something planned for today."

🌉🎀

"Tell us what happened in detail, Madam," Yoon-woo said as he sat in front of Lucy who nods.

"Brother (she is referring to Jungkook's father) came home and went upstairs to talk to Jih. But Jih didn't see him. Jih came downstairs sad and I told him his brother went upstairs to see him. At that time Jungkook came downstairs and asked if Jih can take him outside. Jih agreed before leaving upstairs to get ready. When he was getting ready, I went upstairs and saw kerosene spilled around. And brother d-dead with a g-gun wound," Lucy finished explaining, waiting for the officer to say something.

"Why do you think there was kerosene and a match box but he still shot himself?" Yoon-woo questioned.

"I-I don't know."

"Okay. Do you know about this file?" Yoon-woo opens the property file and shows it to Lucy who frowns in confusion.

"I think sister (jungkook's mother) has talked about this before. I heard her talk about this to brother once," She answered, staring intensely at the file.

"Right. Well, after living with your husband's family for so long, do you think your brother could've killed himself despite being aware of his son's existence?"

"Yes." The answer caught Yoon-woo off guard.

"Why?"

"Brother is suicidal. He can't take in too much sadness and sister was always there for him at times like that. And now that she isn't here with him, he would've done that," Lucy explained further. "He does care for his son but his love for his wife is more bigger than that."

Yoon-woo hummed in response. "You can go now."

"Brother killed himself. And that's all it is. Why are you investi--"

"Thank you, madam Lucy. Let Jeon Jungkook inside," Yoon-woo says, not letting Lucy continue.

Lucy sighs before walking out and leading Jungkook inside. The boy had agreed to help with the investigation.

"I am sorry for your loss, Jungkook," Yoon-woo said as Jungkook sits on the chair. "Do you think your fath--"

"M-my father did," Jungkook said before Yoon-woo could even phrase the question. "H-he loves mom too much so he left me," He said, tears running down his cheeks.

Yoon-woo writes something down before standing up. "You can go now, Jungkook. Thanks for your assistance." He was about to call for Jih to come inside for interrogation but his team member ran in panting before he could.

"A man confessed that he murdered her."

"What?!"

[The previous night]

Jimin frowns as he watched Jih call a number again and again. Until the other picked up.

"Yes, man?"

"Do it tomorrow."

"Okay then. But you have to make sure you will bail me."

"Yes, I will. Just do it."

Jimin's eyes widen in realization.

[Present in the flashback]

"You are saying you hit her car and then got scared of going to prison so you killed her instead of helping her," Yoon-woo frowned as the man nodded. "Then, why are you here now?"

"I-I told it to my wife and she forced me to go and confess everything since that is the right thing," The man explained with a sad look.

Jimin rolled his eyes at that.

"We all know you are working for someone. Tell us who that is. And give me your phone," Yoon-woo grabbed the phone and went into the messages and also checked the call history.

Nothing suspicious.

"Check this," Yoon-woo ordered his team member and handed the phone to him.

"I am not working under anyone. I already work in a transport company."

"We can't do anything, Yoon-woo. He confessed that he killed her and the family members also said that the man is a suicidal person so he killed himself..." Jian trailed off with a frown. "If we do, the higher authorities will take action on us."

"Yeah, sir. Sadly we can't do anything more and we don't have any proof to," The officer silenced his voice and continued, "we don't have any proof that Jih might have been the murderer."

Jimin sighed loudly. "Can't believe this will end like this!"

🌉🎀

"I thought you said you wanted some action and all that.."

"I can't go to prison, Jay. If that new officer somehow proved that I am the murderer, that would be the end of me," Jih explained nonchalantly as he smoked from his joint.

"Right. Well, what will happen now?"

"Nothing. Everything will go back to normal. Never talk about this ever again," He ordered, his friend humming in reply.

Jimin lets out a sigh. "Can't believe Namjoon gave up so easily," He mumbled in disbelief. He wanted Jungkook's parents to get justice but looks like they won't. "Should I try contacting Namjoon with ghost language?"

"You can't."

Jimin rolled his eyes when he heard the voice. "Why don't you work your magic and give a proof to Namjoon?" He asked.

"Do you want to behest me?"

"No. Just do something!" Jimin groaned in annoyance when he didn't get an answer.

Jih walks inside the home and to his room. His eyes widen when he saw Jungkook sitting on his bed. 'Does he already know about it? Did he overhear me? Did he find the clothe--'

"C-can I s-sleep here tonight, Uncle Jih?" Jungkook asks after noticing the presence of his uncle. Jih nods slowly, gulping.

"Of course, Kook."

"I am willing to help if you help me with something," The voice suddenly said making Jimin quickly nod. "Go to the KLC building in a week from today."

"Okay, I will. Just make sure the two get their justice," Jimin said with a grin.

🌉🎀

Jimin only took note of what is happening during the 6th day of the week.

The voice is doing its magic.

And Jih is feeling something new.

Guilt.

Jimin caught onto what is happening after he saw Jih crying in Jungkook's arms, apologizing to the clueless boy. And the next day, he did something unbelievable.

He confessed.

Jih drove to his workplace, falling onto his knees as he confessed his crime to Yoon-woo who looked unsurprised by the revelation. But of course, other officers were shocked to find the good man, Jeon Jih was capable of murder.

Before Yoon-woo could speak a word, Jih was out and driving away to KLC complex where his wife works. And Jimin followed.

Once they reached the building which was currently blowing in flames, Jih got out quickly.

"Fire! Fire!"

"Everyone get out from there!"

"Oh my god!! My daughter!"

"Why did she even bring her daughter to work?" Jimin wondered, unamused by the human.

"I-I am a police officer. I will get your daughter," Jih said as he walked inside the building.

After searching for a while, the two finds the little girl in the 2rd floor, crying and coughing. "I will get you out of here, don't worry," Jih assured the girl before lifting her in his arms and walking out.

"What exactly is happening?" Jimin asked the voice but of course didn't get a reply.

Once the little girl was safely brought out, he announced there was yet another man inside. Jimin frowned at that. There is no man inside.

Jih walks up the stairs, coughing loudly. He falls to the floor when he reached the 3rd flood, unable to breathe. He takes out a knife from his pocket and places it atop his wrist.

"Oh my," Jimin muttered. "I wanted Jih to go to prison. Not get him to kill himself from guilt." Jimin said in disbelief.

"He is a weak man."

"What about his wife and Jeongguk?"

"They suffer."

"THAT IS NOT A VICTORY TO ME!!"

"I don't care, disgusting human."

Jimin flinched as blood spattered on him and a thud followed. "I-I can't believe you did this," Jimin muttered.

"Are you scared? Do you feel guilty?"

"I am dead. My body is rotting under mud."

"Are you scared? Do you feel guilty?"

"I said I am fucking dead, you little shit!! And I have no reason to feel guilty! I've slaughtered many while I lived and I never felt guilt. So shut the fuck up!" Jimin hissed in anger.

"They didn't matter to you."

"Jih doesn't matter to--"

"Jeon Jungkook does."

☆ What do you think?

☆ Feedbacks :)

God, that shit was rushed. And yeah well, good news: no more flashback.

Note that Lucy quit her job after and that's why she was unmentioned as not working.

Tell me if somethings missing and also, let me know if you don't understand anything. I will explain 😁
