(Mingyu POV)
"Are you perhaps from South Korea?'' I asked jeonghan. "Yes.'' "Oh I'm from South Korea too'' I said while smiling. "Let's go inside now. Shall we mingyu?'' chief said impatiently.
"But chief he is from my hometown. Can't he come inside with us?'' I asked chief. "No he has to wait. Let's go'' chief replied. I and and chief finally went inside to see the witness.
"Good Morning chief'' one of the police officer said. "He has been traumatized. We are not getting much out of him.'' One of the police officer named lisa said to us.
"Well... Mr, my name is vernon.'' chief said while sitting on a chair comfortably.
"Well, chief, he can't hear you and he can't speak.'' lisa says. "Isn't that terrific? Just what I need. A mute for a witness.'' chief said sarcastically.
"Mingyu, seokmin is from your hometown. If you can talk slowly, he can understand by lip-reading.'' Park Jimin who was also my colleague said.
"Look here... My name is Kim Mingyu. Can you understand what I'm speaking? The killers might have gone too far already. If you can cooperate with as atleast now, we can nab him. Before it's too late.'' He nodded his head.
"Seokmin said that after Joshua proposed him to marry him, they went to a holiday trip. While coming back they went to Meadow View Villa to replicate the Josephine Wood painting.
He searched everyroom which was located on first floor in villa but still couldn't find the painting, so he went down to ask joshua that did he find the painting but he couldn't find joshua. He said he went to the cellar in search of joshua. Someone attacked him there in the darkness. But he said he couldn't see who it was.''
I explained to chief about what seokmin said throught sign language since i was able to understand what seokmin said throungh sign language.
"Seokmin. Seokmin are you ok?'' I asked being panicked because seokmin was shivering.
"Let me call the doctor.'' jimin said while going out to call doctor.
Doctor rushes inside. "He needs rest. Please, she is drowsy because of pain killers. Please, leave.'' doctor said. "Okay'' chief said. But no one was leaving.
"He has lost a lot of blood-'' "Doctor it's ok. We are leaving.'' I said and left with others.

I returned home after that. As usual my dad and my husband was bickering with eachother. I couldn't help but to chuckle at them.
I came back after changing my clothes and took my laptop to see some news. As i was reading headlines, i came across a news which shocked me.
"Shit.'' i said being shocked. "Is it that bad?'' wonwoo asked me. "Is Joshua Hong already married?'' i asked him being shocked. "Yeah. I think his husband was a model.
His name was 'Junhui'. Man he was hot!'' wonwoo said.
"He committed suicide?'' i asked wonwoo. "No. I think it was a drug overdose. I feel very bad. And yeah, i forgot to ask you that was it really a ghost that killed Joshua Hong?''
"Frame doesn't bring in just money, it brings enemies too.'' i replied.
"I don't want it.'' Lee Hyun-woo (random name), jihoon and soonyoung's son said while mrs lee (jihoon's mom) was forcing him to eat vegetables.
"Shut up and eat woo'' soonyoung who was working n kitchen said. "papa how can i eat if i shut up?'' Hyun-woo replied.
"Woo will you eat now or shall i take your uncle gyu to amusement park instead of you?''
"No i will eat.'' "Eat then.'' "I hate you'' "Yeah, okay. Eat.'' soonyoung replied while chuckling.
I chuckled at them.They alos live with us in our house. And i continued to work. I was seeing Seokmin's instagram profile, i came across a pic which confused me.
There was another boy with Seokmin and Joshua. "Seungcheol? Who is he? He's standing too close to seokmin.'' "True friend, maybe.'' Wonwoo replied.
I was in a deep thought but i was forced to snap out from my thoughts by my phone ringing. Caller id showed that it was chief calling. So I closed my laptop to attend chief's call. "Hey listen. We need to find out about anybody who has any contact at all with Joshua Hong. Okay?'' chief said as soon i answered his call.
"Yeah, Chief.'' i replied. "I'll be at the office in a while.'' chief said. "I'll be there. I'll be there.'' I said and stood up to get ready. "Alright.'' he replied and ended the call.
(women on tv) "Today, America lost one of it's celebrated musicians. Meadow View Villa is back in the news after many years. What is going on in this villa?
Is there really a demon haunting this place? We tried to get some answers from Chief Vernon.
In return, he threatened our reporter with an arrest. It's not the first time Chief Vernon has reacted arrogantly against the media.'' vernon suddenly stood up, took a hockey stick and smashed the tv.
Vernon became much more aggressive after his husband died.

"Have you ever seen a ghost chief?'' i asked while going to Joshua's mansion for investigation. "Yeah! It's my ex-husband.'' he replied while laughing which made me laugh too.
We reached to Joshua's mansion and started to investigate. Except his, seokmin and seungcheol pics we couldn't find anything which was useful for our investigation in his mansion.
Many boys who were young had already went missing in Seattle. Public and media targeted our department.
Moreover, the murder of Joshua Hong became a bigger headache.
We questioned everyone who had connections with Joshua. We understood that he had only fans but no enemies.
Our investigation came to a dead end.
________________________
We went to attend Joshua Hong's furnel, "He plays cello? Are you kidding me? It's really weird. He is deaf right?'' Jimin said. Even i was shocked. But i decided to ignore it for now.
"We covered every single detail, Chief. There is no one left to question.'' i said. "What about seungcheol?'' vernon replied. Shit, i had totally forgot about him.

(Next day)
We called seokmin and jeonghan to our office. We took seokmin inside the investigation room while we told jeonghan to wait outside.
(A/n: Bold writings are spoken or told by seokmin through actions since he is dumb and deaf in this story.)
Seokmin how are you?'' i began to question him. "I'm fine.'' he replied.
"We questioned everyone connected to Joshua Hong. And a lot of people attened his cremation yesterday.
He must be a great human being. And yeah, your parents passed away in your childhood, isn't it?''
"Yes.''
"You grew up in an orphanage. After the owner passed away you are taking care of that orphanage right?''
"Yeah.''
"Great! Why didn't your best friend Seungcheol come yesterday? You are in such depression, he should have been by your side, right?
Why isn't he there?'' seokmin became silent when i talked about seungcheol. "Is something wrong?'' I asked him.
