The confirmation hit Jungkook like a ton of bricks. The body was identified as Minatozaki Sana. His heart dropped, and a sense of failure washed over him. This was his first serious case, and it had ended in tragedy. He couldn't shake the feeling that he had somehow failed her. The autopsy revealed that Sana had been dead for four days—the same day he had been assigned her case as a runaway. Anger filled him. He was determined to find the truth.

Jungkook immediately requested an autopsy, but Minghao vehemently objected. "I don't want her disturbed in her final peace," he argued, his voice filled with forced emotion.

Jungkook's resolve hardened. "This is necessary. We need to find out what happened to her," he said firmly, shutting down any further protests from Minghao.

The autopsy results were chilling. Sana's skull was fractured, and she had sustained severe injuries. The cause of death was determined to be blunt force trauma to the skull. Her body had been found near the riverside, and the cold, hard truth was undeniable—it was a cold-blooded murder.

The news sent a shiver down everyone's spine. Jungkook was appalled. How could someone do this to her? From all his investigations, Sana was described as a kind, intelligent, and cheerful person. She had no known enemies. She was a sunshine to everyone around her. So how had this happened?

Jungkook sat in his office, trying to piece together the fragments of this dark puzzle. He reviewed the details again: the letter, Minghao's odd behavior, and now, the brutal murder. He couldn't shake the feeling that there was more to Minghao than met the eye. His detachment during the interrogation, the random mention of the nosebleed—it all felt off.

He needed to dig deeper. Someone had taken Sana's life, and Jungkook was determined to bring that person to justice. He knew he had to tread carefully, to follow every lead and intuition. The image of Sana's bright smile haunted him, pushing him to uncover the truth behind her tragic death. This was no longer just a case; it was a mission to honor her memory and find justice for her.
