Who?

Eight

Juyeon and Eric arrived at the crime scene which was a one-way road tunnel at the edge of the neighborhood leading away from the main street. The two went first because Sunwoo had to get out of his shrimp costume first.

Eric trudged after Juyeon, giving the officers quick greetings as usual. 

They stopped in front of the corpse which wasn't covered up yet. It pretty much seemed like the first one except that some of the blood was washed away with the streaming water at the side of the road. 

Eric looked up at the tunnel wall where the letter 'N' was grafitied then back at Juyeon.

"Captain?"

"Yes. It's the same guy." 

"Then we are sure it's a serial killer." Eric asked, getting out his notepad.

"I don't think so." Juyeon said, crouching down to go under the tape.

"Huh? What do you mean?" Eric asked, following Juyeon.

"I'll put my bet that this is either Mr. Kim or Mr. Cha." 

"Kim and Cha? The two who worked with the first victim?" 

Juyeon nodded. He put on latex gloves and examined the body. This time the head wasn't severely damaged but the rest were the same. Shattered arms and limbs with no bones in them. 

"So what have we got?" Sunwoo said, jogging up to them and turning away immediately.

He turned back with a mask on his face. Eric shook his head at him. Later the police officer came by and gave them a brief report of the victim.

"The victim is Mr. Kim ByungSoo aged 42. It hasn't been long since he moved in the neighborhood. He's chummy with Mr. Bong, the first victim. But he's not as bad as him, except for trying to make profit with business."  

"So what you said was right." Eric said in awe.

"If it is right, then we have to track down the last man, Mr. Cha." Juyeon said, standing up. 

"Do you know a Mr. Cha? We heard he is also working with the two victims." Sunwoo asked the police officer.

"Mr. Cha? I'm not sure about his name though I have seen a third person with the two. But that guy doesn't live here."

"Thank you." Juyeon said and the police officer left.

Sunwoo glanced at the 'N' graffitied on the wall, still wondering what it could mean. It seemed like even Juyeon hadn't figured it out yet. 

"So we have to find Mr. Cha first. That way we can at least prevent a third murder." Juyeon said, turning to the two.

"And how are we going to find him?" Sunwoo asked.

Juyeon smiled. That made Eric and Sunwoo feel uneasy. 

"Don't tell me...." 

"A third all-nighter in a row?" 

Sunwoo finished Eric's sentence. Juyeon smiled wider and patted the two on their shoulders hard. 

"Good job for tonight." He said and left the two.

Eric and Sunwoo watched as Juyeon's car drove off. They glanced at each other and let out a small tired sigh. 

"Let's go already." Sunwoo muttered.

He already felt his eyes aching from staring at the computer screen.
