CHAPTER-16

"Jungkook-ah,you want some?" Hoseak asked as Jungkook walked inside the room.

"I already had dinner, hyung," Jungkook said sitting on his chair.

"Where's Yongi hyung?" Jimin aksed.

"Went somewhere," Jungkook said as he took out the papers from the folder Taehyung gave him.

Jungkook opened the file and made some copies for others,then started to read the papers carefully.

A loud ringing sound of his phone,broke Jungkook's concentration. He brought out his phone from his pocket and found a message under the number that Prosecutor Kim had saved on his phone.

"Are you still in work?" Jungkook read the message.

"Yeah," Jungkook sent a small reply.

"When are you going home?" Taehyung sent back.

Taehyung was in his apartment.

After dropping Jungkook in his office, Taehyung went back to his apartment and took a shower.

Then lying on the bed,he sent Jungkook a message.

"Not sure. Why?" Jungkook sent back.

"Aren't you going to sleep?" Taehyung asked back.

"I will," Jungkook sent back.

"When?"Taehyung sent back.

"I have to finish reading the reports you gave me," Jungkook sent back.

Then again started to read the flies.

"You can read them in the morning," Taehyung sent back as his eyebrows truned into a frown.

This bunny liked to work really hard,he thought completely ignoring that he was an workocoholic too.

"I need to finish them before meeting detective Chi tomorrow,"Jungkook sent back again.

Taehyung was really irritated now. He wanted to go there and put that bun on bed now.

"You,go to sleep," Taehyung read the message.

Taehyung smiled a little.

"My bun is hard outside but a softie inside," Taehyung thought.

"Ok. I'll see you tomorrow," Taehyung sent back.

"Good night," Jungkook sent another message.

"Jungkook-ah,did you finish reading it?" Yongi asked when he came in the office.

Hoseak put a box of food in front him and Yongi started to eat it without any question.

"Not completely," Jungkook said, turning his head towards Yongi.

"What did you find so far?" Yongi asked.

"The bodies started to appear almost two years ago.

First body was found on 23 February,2019, near the river early in the morning, discovered by the local cleaner guy who was taking a shortcut.

Then the second body was found on 23 March,2019, exactly one month later than the first one. Same condition,early in the morning near the river,found by a fisherman.

Then,the third and the last one was found on 23 May,2019, exactly two month later than the second one, again same condition",Jungkook summarized carefully,not to forget any important information.

"What about the victims?" Yongi asked.

"Interesting actually. The first victim's name was Chi BaeJu. He was a student of Daegu Art College,21 years old," Jungkook said, showing a photo to Yongi and Hoseak.

They nodded in understanding.

The photo was of a handsome young man smiling brightly on the photo.

Hoseak felt a pang of sadness thinking such a bright kid losing his life so early.

"The second victim's name was Park SeiJoon. He was a student of Daegu Engineering college,20 years old," Jungkook said and showed them another photo.

The second kid looked alarmingly similar to the first kid. Only difference was his glasses.

"The third victim's name was Kim Beum. He was also a student of Daegu Art College,22 years old," Jungkook said and showed the last photo to Yongi and Hoseak.

Yongi stopped eating and looked carefully at the three photos. He couldn't ignore the similarities between the three victims and their victim.

Was it a coincidence or was it the preference of the killer for hunting his preys?
