Shadows Of Deception

Chapter 10: The Denial

Armed with the lead implicating Kim Taehyung, Jungkook wasted no time. He mobilized his team to search Taehyung's workplace and to trace his phone's location on the night of Sana's murder. Every minute felt crucial as they awaited the results, tension thick in the air.

The search of Taehyung's workplace yielded little physical evidence, but Jungkook remained undeterred. He knew that sometimes, the absence of evidence could be just as telling. As they awaited the phone location results, Jungkook proceeded with the interrogation.

In the cold, sterile interrogation room, Taehyung sat composed, his demeanor unwavering despite the grave accusations against him. Jungkook studied him closely, searching for any flicker of guilt or deceit in his expression.

"You were seen arguing with Sana at your workshop," Jungkook stated firmly, watching Taehyung's reaction closely. "She was found dead later that night near the riverside. Care to explain?"

Taehyung's face remained impassive, his eyes meeting Jungkook's without flinching. "I don't know what you're talking about," he replied calmly. "I haven't seen Sana in weeks. I had nothing to do with her death."

Jungkook persisted, presenting the possibility of evidence linking Taehyung to the crime scene. "We're awaiting the results of your phone's location," he continued, his voice steady. "If it places you near the riverside that night, it would be in your best interest to cooperate."

Taehyung's facade remained unbroken. "My phone could have been there for any number of reasons," he retorted confidently. "It doesn't prove anything."

The interrogation stretched on for hours, Jungkook meticulously probing for any inconsistencies or cracks in Taehyung's story. However, Taehyung held fast to his denial, refusing to acknowledge any involvement in Sana's death.

Frustration simmered beneath Jungkook's professional exterior, but he knew that building a solid case required concrete evidence. As he left the interrogation room, the results of Taehyung's phone location were still pending. Jungkook resolved to continue his relentless pursuit of the truth, determined to uncover what really happened to Sana and bring her killer to justice, no matter the obstacles ahead.
