Soobin's declaration of the new information provided us a substantial amount of shock, that all our brains malfunctioned.

I stared at the taller guy's blank face with a mirroring expression only to earn a heavy sigh from him.

I fished my phone out of my bag and started texting Seohi about Lee Yohan's death but the time was way too ungodly for her to be awake and peer at the sky.

"We should go to Beomgyu?" I heard Yeonjun mumbling the mayor's son's name. I'm familiar with the kid since they were close friends with our family.

"Mayor's son?" I inquired.

"Mhm. Yeah, let's go to Beomgyu." The two guys started running towards their car.

"Wait! How will I go?" I asked.

"Did we ask you to not accompany us?" Said the older one.

I grinned and ran to catch in the backseat. The boys took the front. Soobin started the engine towards the north.

I was suffocating in the attire I borrowed from Eonnie and couldn't keep up that Channel Queen attitude. I took off my overcoat and pulled my hair in a messy bun. The boys glanced at me from the rear view mirror and a part of me said that they were afraid to mix with me.

I don't have a purpose from them, so I need not be friendly.

I opened my phone yet again to note down all the data I came to know from Yeonjun. Jimin has passed down the case to me. And the clues say that Bumjoon's burnt body and Anhyun's scratched body, seemed to be more than just mere coincidences.

"Y/n, We're here." Soobin opened the car door for me and I got down, looking at the huge Mayor's manor.

We walked past the sleeping security guard at the gate and rang the doorbell. Mrs. Yin, Beomgyu's nanny, opened the door and Yeonjun greeted her.

"Yeonjun? Soobin and Y/n? You all at this hour? But Sir's not at home." She reported.

"It's okay, Ahjumma. We need to talk to Beomgyu. I hope he's here." Said Soobin.

"Yes... but Sir has asked me to not let anyone inside."

"Halmeoma, Let them come. I called them." We heard a slightly deep voice, that belonged to Beomgyu, to which, she abided by.

Beomgyu took us to his room and locked the door behind us. He wasn't used to seeing me in draping pegged skirts and much makeup, and let a tiny chortle before greeting us.

"I'm sorry for what Halmeoma said at the door. Appa is at the Lee Villa. I was texting him when he told me that Lee Yohan died. And that's what I messaged you." He explained how he knew something which wasn't even out on the news.

"And? Do you have any photos of his dead body?" I asked.

"Photos? No... I don't have photos but maybe I can arrange that. All the information that I got from Appa is that Yohan's dead body was found at 9:40 pm last night, when his manager tried to check upon him."

"Where was it?" Asked Soobin.

"Hmm... Probably near the electricity generator. Appa did a face time with me and I noticed the corpse just behind him.

Umm... It's face was partially burnt and it appeared as if he was choked, with chains." He added the limited details he spotted.

"That's similar to Bumjoon." I commented.

"Oh wait! I think I can get you three there though. Taehyun lives in the same neighborhood, go along with him."

"You sure that's okay?" Asked Soobin.

"I mean, I guess so. I won't come to more use. You know I'm hemophobic, so Appa won't show me the corpse." Said the child.

"Thanks Beomie. That was much of a help. We should leave." I said.

The three of us hurried back to their car as Soobin started the car towards Lee Yohan's garden house. I looked at the empty road to cut my time when Soobin slowed the car down to park it 'round the corner.

"Stop. Let's go in with Uncle Choi." I crossed the street and approached Choi Bogum, Beomgyu's father, the Mayor.

The boys trailed behind me and stopped before the gate of the huge mansion in Gangnam. The Mayor vented his frustration on his subordinate as I faked a cough to gain his attention.

"Hey, Mr. Choi!" I bowed to him.

"Aah, Y/n-ah? What brings you here? And Soobin and Yeonjun?" The boys bowed to him as I noticed Soobin gesturing me to take the talk ahead.

"Yeah we were just jogging to the Gym and spotted this commotion here and decided to stop by."

"Gym? Like a Channel Queen?" He laughed and I mentally slapped myself for faking the most vague excuse.

"Actually the two of us had a party last night. You know, late night drunk dancing and stuff. And that's why we decided to jog to the Gym and kick off this hangover." Soobin rubbed his head in a circle, pretending to be drunk.

"Oh! It's nothing of interest for you kids. And, try drinking water as much as you drink."

"Uncle, what's going on in though?" I enquired before he could dodge our curiosity. He knows how much of an interest it is for us, but he won't tell us on a straight account, without getting things twisted ofcourse.

"Umm... Beomgyu sent you three here, didn't he? I knew the boy won't sit..."

"Sir, please. We need to see the body. Now that you already understand how and why we are here, let's not beat around the bush and get to the point." Interrupted Soobin.

"Fine. But you'll be inviting your own risks. Go from that side and take this with you." He handed me a blue Identity register and caught up with the press outside the building.

The three of us didn't wait for any extra minute and started walking towards the backyard of the house, exactly where the body lay.

Beomgyu's obscure description was doubtful but quite precise. The body was murdered, exactly how we suspected Bumjoon's.

The face was partially burnt but the chain marks were palpably perceivable, making it clear that this time, the chain was what burnt the face.

The room was dusty and all the cobwebs still intact in their place. The room was left untouched for ages and that raises the question of the corpse.

"The body is brutally killed, just like Bumjoon's." Soobin bent near the body for a closer look and whispered his elucidation, which was crystal clear to anyone with eyes.

"Understandable. What's this white liquid substance over his body?" I sweeped a little of the yeeky gelatin like thing on my finger to smell it. It smelt like chlorine and bleach.

"I don't know. Appears to be fresh semen." Replied the oldest.

"Semen, what? Eww!" I dropped the thing and rubbed it over the dead body. My ritually pure fingers have been cursed by this blasphemous liquid.

"Here, clean your finger. Hyung, collect some of this and let's leave." He passed me a napkin from his pocket and hurried towards the front door. The police had sealed the area and that would lead us to suspicion. Yet Soobin chose to go through them.

I looked around the room, trying to capture all the scenes I saw. Everything seemed to be antique and pretty normal other than a broken window.

I quietly excused myself away from the boys to study the abnormality about the room. It was a tampered glass on a Swiss wooden frame. I knocked on the window.

Something was odd about it.

"Excuse me, what are you doing here?" A woman, as old as the Mayor, created a disturbance in my ever still concentration.

"I'm here for the investigation." I pulled out the blue registration card which was certification of law, given by the Mayor.

"And you are...?"

"My certification needs not to answer your query, yet for convience, let me let you know. I am Siyeon Sim. Would like to know your identity, Madam." I spoke with a bold voice, trying to fix my fake identity adamantly in her mind.

"I am Kim Yuki, Sir's personal assistant cum manager."

"May I know how this window broke?"

"I have seen this window broken ever since I joined."

"Oh! And according to those sealed doors, you shouldn't be here, unless you want to make yourself suspicious." I commented.

"Madam, it's my purpose to keep a watch here. I am also here with certified permission."

Her face remained still, nonchalant to any type of allegations I could possibly logg against her. Personal Assistant, she appeared too old to be a 30 year old man's PA. And her dressing, looked more casual than any formal acquaintance.

"When was the body found?" I enquired.

"I am not sure because I wasn't at work till then but I can guess it to be somewhat at 6:00 or 7:00."

"Hmm. That's enough for now. Thank you for your cooperation." I turned around on my clicking heels and started towards the door. Soobin was speaking to the police in charge, which gave me a quick second to click a photo of the room.

A pungent smell of spirit kerosene tickled my nose. I advanced behind the source of the smell and stopped by, just to have a look at the garden outside.

The side yard door was left wide ajar. I crossed the wired railings and climbed down the stairs. The kerosene smell grew a little stronger with smoke.

"Aah, it's from that road roller." The roads of gangnam were being maintained and I was stupid enough to think that suspicious. I turned around, starting towards the house again but something stroke my leg.  The ground was wet and the odour around the gates was inebriating, like marijuana cigar residue.

I peeped inside the house and called the boys to take a look around with me.

"Soobin-ssi? Yeonjun-ssi? Could you both come here once?"

"Yeh!" I heard their voices, approaching me.

"Do you guys smell this certain odour too?" I asked. Soobin looked around, sniffing the air around him but he nodded in denial.

"Oh! Then it must be just my nose." I stepped on the stairs when I felt my feet tangled in the creepers. Something heavy and long stoke my feet as I tried untangling my shoes. I stepped on it while freeing myself but realised it to be like another body. A part of the body.

"Let me help you." Soobin pulled me on the stairs, breaking my shoes free.

"What's that on your heel? Is that blood?" Yeonjun pointed out the red stain on the white sole of my stilettos.

"And a chunk of muscle..." Gasped Soobin.

"What?" I gasped while Soobin sat down near my leg and pulled the obstructing thing away, which I had realised from the beginning.

"Disgusting! This is a penis." Declared Soobin.

"What?!"
