Within minutes they were back in the car, the air conditioner blowing welcomed cool air as they headed to the Bachelor Moon Apartments, which coincidentally the same area as the Dalgom's Bed-and-Breakfast.
"It's frustrating that Hanbin Kim is our first real person of interest in this case," Jimin said.
"Unless you count the lovely Lalisa," Taehyung nodded.
"I don't think she had anything to do with this," Jungkook said.
"Is that your professional opinion or a personal one?" Teahyung asked with a raise of a dark eyebrow.
Jungkook hesitated before replying, wanting to make sure his crazy physical attraction to her had no part in his reply.
"It's both," he finally said.
He hadn't mentioned Lalisa's dip in the pond the night before, but he did so now, explaining to the two men how he had dragged her out of the pond.
"Do you really think somebody pushed her?" Taehyung asked.
"I don't know what to believe, but she certainly believes it. What I can't figure out is if the incident is somehow tied to the disappearance of the Kim's or not. I have to ask myself if somebody wants the people associated with the bed-and-breakfast out of the way," Jungkook said.
"Out of the way of what?" Jimin asked.
Jungkook flashed him a tight smile in the rearview mirror. "I have questions, but nobody said I have any answers."
"Who is the beneficiary of the place if anything happens to Jin and Jisoo?" Taehyung asked.
"We need to check that out. I would assume that initially it would have gone to Yuna, with an executor or representative in place until she reaches of age. But with her missing as well, I'm not sure what would happen. I don't even know if they have a will in place." Jungkook made a mental note to check for that particular information.
By the time they had arrived at the Bachelor Moon Apartments, they all exited the car to check out Hanbin Kim's alibi with his girlfriend.
Yeri Kim looked like she'd been ridden hard and put away wet. Lanky dark hair fell into her face as she opened the door to allow them inside. She gestured them toward the threadbare sofa and then curled her painfully thin frame into a chair facing them, but that didn't mean she sat still.
"Hanbin called a little while ago to tell me to expect you," she said, first pulling on the ends of her hair and then picking at a scab on her chin. She dropped her hand to her lap but continued to fidget in junkie fashion.
"I can tell you that Hanbin was here with me all night on Thursday. In fact, he's here most nights, although he has an apartment of his own."
"Is it possible he was here for a while and then maybe left while you were sleeping?" Taehyung asked.
