Play with fire (Changjin)

꧁Chapter Three꧂

"I love to watch the castles burn. These golden ashes turn to dirt.

I've always liked to play with fire.

Watching as the flames get higher."

    The next morning, Changbin was back at the police station to meet Seungmin and discuss the next steps they would take in the arsonist's chase. The man decided it would be better if he didn't talk about the dream he had in the prior night, because it wouldn't be of any help in their investigation. But deep down, his instincts were telling him that the stranger in his dream was the same person they were looking for, which would be even harder to understand or explain to the others.

In the conference room, Seungmin told the investigators and other police officers all the details he found about the person they were looking for, such as his average age, probable height, eyes and hair color etcetera.

"So, we're searching for a male in his early 20 years, blood type B, eyes and hair dark brown color. Probably long hair, based on the sample I found at the evidence, but that's not very important once he could cut it, but yeah. Height around 1.70 and 1.80".

All the police officers in the room paid attention as Seungmin talked about the results he got from the exam. The only one that was a little off was Changbin. Hearing as Seungmin explained, he couldn't help but be puzzled by how the information matched exactly with the person he had dreamed of.

"Based on the information I got from our friend Jeongin here", the man gestured to the younger IT member, "he might be a classical dancer or former dancer, but we need to check this first. Any questions?"

Seungmin finished his presentation and waited for the officers to respond, while some were taking notes or nodding their heads. Once no one had questions, Felix got up and proceeded to talk about the information they got from the fire department. He had a long conversation with the department chief, and organized all the information he and Changbin found in the older cases' documents.

"Well, until now we don't have any very important information, but this is what we know so far."

Changbin leaned on the chair he was sitting and crossed his arms, watching as Felix passed some images on the big screen in front of the room. Almost all of them were from burned places, and a few different ones were from the evidence he found at the parking lot and pictures of the firefighter who got injured in the last arson episode, Han Jisung.

"This morning I received new information from Christopher telling they had another fire last night, and it could possibly be an act of our man."

Changbin's ears perked at the last part. Felix didn't tell him anything about this last case yet, but it was understandable because they just got at the office and went straight to the meeting.

"Until now, we couldn't find a purpose or meaning in his actions, so it seems like he's trying to attack the firefighters somehow, so we'll have secure guards at Jisung and Minho's house while he's recovering".

Felix made a pause, and then looked straight at Changbin for support.

"We agreed to cooperate with the fire department to solve this case as soon as possible, and I myself will be forever in debt with them if anyone else gets hurt like Jisung did...", he made a small pause again. "That's it for now".

Once Felix finished his words, Changbin got up and dismissed the other officers but Felix, Jeongin and Seungmin.

"Alright, IN I'll need your hacker abilities now", Changbin put one hand on Jeongin's shoulder and explained their next steps.
