An hour ago, I thought we had the case solved and closed. The culprit dead, witness and crime in partner arrested. Everything was clear as water in front of us. We were about to throw a party on solving our first case. 

But it seems we celebrated a bit too early.

"So now there's a third party involved?" Yun-sae looked just as frustrated as me, if not more. Yeonjun whereas kept rereading all the reports we had collected about this case with a frown on his face. We had a new entity between us now. A third party, like Yun-sae said. 

The fingerprints on Soojin's neck didn't match either of the two suspects. Suspects now because now there's a third hand involved who apparently is our killer and running free with committing a murder in broad daylight where no one saw him. 

No one has ever seen anyone else coming and going out of that house except the man and his girlfriend. There's no witness. 

"What about his girlfriend? What did she say about this?" Yun-sae was the one to interrogate her and by the time she came back she looked like she would murder someone if they even dared breath in her direction. 

Her scoff told me I was not getting anything particularly useful. "She said none of the two saw the man or the murder happening. The boy was thrown down the stairs and was dead even before." If that woman isn't lying, then Choi Sangchan died -if we go by laws- for no reason. But he didn't have any reason to flee too, if he didn't do anything wrong so it's on him.

"Are there really no cameras in that big ass bungalow? Seriously, he would be dumb not to put it under surveillance. Are we sure?" I really don't get how there can't be a single camera. A camera is must and if there would be, it might be our biggest help with this case and maybe all other related cases. 

"Where is Yesuk?"

I looked at Yeonjun who just asked that. "Yesuk? The older sibling?" He was the elder brother of Soojin, but he was in asylum. "In asylum, I thought we cleared that part." It was Yeonjun's first task after he joined us. So, him asking about the boy doesn't make sense to me and looking at Yun-sae I am sure she is thinking the same.

"Yes but, what if he is not what they are saying? He is our last lead in this that can help us. Maybe if we can get a visiting pass for him..." he trailed off before turning to Yun-sae. The two stared at each other for few seconds, as if having a telepathic communication I am not part of before looking at me. The way they both were looking at me, I could sense the scheming behind their eyes. Whatever they were up to, I was already trapped.

"Sir....you can get us the pass, right? Just few minutes will be fine! You can do it right?" The way Yeonjun was staring at me, as if I am a God who can make anything and everything possible. And Yun-sae wasn't helping as she kept nodding to his every word. These two will end up either putting me out of work or behind the bars, no in-between. 

I looked at Yun-sae for any help, but it proved useless, exactly like I predicted. She got a partner who can team up with her against me, of course there's no way she will let me live in peace. 

"Do I have a choice?"

"Yes"
"No, you don't."

Tell me exactly how I got stuck with them again? 










It took me 12 hours to get the permission. Of course, not for visiting a patient but visiting the asylum. How we will visit the patient, well, Yeonjun doesn't know yet, but he will get us the visiting permission. 






"Are you sure we won't get suspended?" 

This is the third time she has asked. Even though just like the last time, it was her and Yeonjun's idea, this time too, they both look like a step away from running back. "Unless you two are showing any symptom of craziness, no one will keep you here. So? Are you?" If you ask me, I will say they both are showing symptoms of paranoia. But then I will have two less competent and responsible officers, so I can't do that. I will go actually insane without them back at station.
