Ch : 6 - The Murder

In the morning and afternoon the programmes of the tourists consisted of strolling in the adjacent areas in the morning, interacting with the local people, being familiar with their culture, enjoying the beautiful scenery all around, besides taking rest for the evening programme.

They were advised not to take unnecessary strain because climing the hill and trekking needs lots of energy.

While the women were found going to other cotttages and interacting with other women but Yeona was seen sitting only with Min Jun.

Therefore , the other women took a wrong view of her, they wertoe thinking why this woman is not interested in interacting with other women and not going to ther cottages. Is she not social or is she afraid of anything...

At 1:30pm, when the tourists went for the lunch, again there was a routine announcement that they should be ready at 4.30pm to start for the second leg of trekking covering the other part of the hill which is extremely enchanting.

Hence, after taking lunch they all retired to their respective cottage for taking rest. At 4.30pm they reached the scheduled place to climb up the hill for trekking.

The ladies and gents were wearing jackets because the climate was a bit chill and, therefore, very pleasant. They started climbing exactly at 4.30pm.

All men took care of their women companions while climbing up. After reaching the top of the hill, they started trekking.

Every body was enjoying the scenery, green bushes, plenty of trees, particularly the jungle flowers of different hues flooding the entire area and enhancing the beauty of the place manifold. They were practically captivated by the exotic scenery of the hill.

Men and women were trekking in small groups. Women formed 2-3 small groups and Yeona joined one of the groups.

They were having fun, cracking jokes, enjoying the surrounding beauty of the hill. There was cliff, many stood there to see the bottom of the hill. It is a high hill, therefore, every thing at the bottom appeared tiny.

It appeared that there were forests of jungle trees with stone slabs and boulders that added to the rustic beauty. There was a stream flowing a little away from the hill which was their main attraction.

Every body was climbing the cliff and taking some snaps of the beautiful scenery. And When Yeona found that there was no one on the cliff, suddenly, she came out of the group with her camera, got on the cliff and started taking some snaps.

A man approached from no where, he wore a black winter jacket, which was hooded that covered his back portion completely, gave her a push and she fell down the cliff with a pathetic scream....

The man got down and joined the group. But, incidentally, there was a local man sitting in the adjoining bush, who was a professional photographer, he clicked the scene of the fatal push.

These photographers follow the tourists and click photos which they sell and make some money.

But, importantly, he clicked the photo from behind, the man was totally hooded, he jumped down and continued trekking with other tourists. Therefore, the photographer was unable to see his face.
