"Mr. and Mrs. Park, Mr. and Mrs. Jeon along with Mr. Jeongguk, please see me at the police station today evening. I might have to run a process of interrogations," the inspector declared.

***

The police station was enclosed in a different aura. Crime branch officers walked to and fro, here and there. The uniformly biased policemen acquired these positions, chatting and discussing their allotted cases.

A white desk was adorned with a laptop on one corner followed by lumps of files, papers and notepads. Jungkook's eyes had developed a web of blood vessels as he perched on the side of his mom across the table.

Mr and Mrs Park sat at a little gap from the Jeon family opposite of whom was seated a muscular, white shirt bound frame with a tag plate pinned to the left part of his torso. 'Prosecutor Lee Jae-hyuk' reflected the nameplate.

"So Mr Jeongguk, how many days have you been in a relationship with Miss Areum?"

"Past eight months."

"Did you have some major quarrels for which you think she might commit such a thing? Or do you suspect anyone?"

"None on purpose." His answers were tasteless just like the blank mood he had been experiencing.

"Mr and Mrs Jeon, anything? How did you come to know about her thingie?"

"Well, we got the news this morning. So we went to visit their place early before going to the hospital," Mr Jeon exposed.

Jungkook realised the reason behind the cold porridge as he listened to their conversation.

"Okay, Mr Park, do you have anything to say?"

Mr Park lifted his face to get a clear view of the officer. He gulped thickly and parted his lips to respond but was interrupted the next very second.

"Sir, the post mortem reports have arrived," a constable handed over an envelope to the officer. The inspector opened the file to check the results. A little while later, he expressed, "Sorry to say but unfortunately it is a case of pure suicide"

Jungkook drooped his head as tears jerked in his orbs.

"Officer, I've something to say," Mr Park finally started, "I'm the murderer of my daughter, maybe not physically yet emotionally."

Mrs Park grasped his arm which he shove away. He continued, "I also killed my wife twenty-three years back. A criminal like me has no right to enjoy his freedom. Please arrest me, officer. And I also betrayed my only best friend for my greed of wealth." He averted to watch Mr and Mrs Jeon baffling in confusion. Their widened mouth proved their severe unpredicted hopes regarding his confessions. Nobody ever thought that he could disclose everything this easily.
