San and Seonghwa sat in his office speaking on the recent findings of the case and the breaking news making its way round.

"How did you say you know Terance?" Seonghwa asked.

"He was my father's business partner before my dad became a lawyer. This is all really crazy honestly. I just wonder what the victim's name is." San said.

"Well until they link the case to ours, we should focus on solving our own." Seonghwa mentioned.

"Agreed." San said.

The men discussed their plan of action for the day. They'd investigate the crime scene again to look for any missed evidence and come back to look through forensics.

Once arriving at the crime scene, the men put their gloves on and looked around being careful not to tamper.

They looked for what felt like hours before Seonghwa spoke up.

"SAN! SAN COME LOOK!" Seonghwa screams from the other side of the lot.

San ran over to see Seonghwa pick up a small piece of paper buried under a small tree.

"How could we have missed this?" Seonghwa asked.

"Seonghwa, I don't know if that was here before. We searched this whole place. I feel like we would have seen it." San stated.

"That is true." Seonghwa agreed.

He held up the piece of paper to read the words written on it.

jongho meet me at my house at 8 please i'll be waiting

"This could be who we think it is or it could be someone else. I have a way to go about it though. Just to be sure." San spoke.

"Lets go." Seonghwa said heading back towards the car.

Back in the office, San dialed Wooyoung's number.

"Hey could you come down to the station. We have something to discuss."

"About the case?"

"Yes, about the case."

"Be there in 15."

San hung up again.

"Seonghwa, I never asked who was filling in your detective spot in Busan." San mentioned with curiosity.

"Oh, I believe Detective Song, if I'm not mistaken. He is quite new, maybe a year and a half of experience." Seonghwa replied.

"Ah, Is he any good?" San asked.

"He's solved three cases so far. Pretty average, nothing too spectacular." Seonghwa said.

The men sat and went over previous forensics as they waited for Wooyoung to arrive.

Once Wooyoung came in, Seonghwa guided him to the interrogation room.

When Wooyoung's eyes met San's, both men immediately looked away. Seonghwa went to take a seat next to San.

San cleared his throat and started.

"Please have a seat. We're here to ask you about one thing today." San said looking at the small piece of paper in a ziplock bag.

San pushed the bag across the table with his hand staying on it.

"Do you recognize this handwriting?" San asked, a little bit anxious for an answer.

Wooyoung's lips parted as he hesitated to form words.

"Its- its Hongjoong's writing." Wooyoung said aloud.
