A/N: sleepy~ sleepy~ 

But I woke up to the most beautiful sunshine and I would do anything to keep it by my side :>> 

"Welcome you all gathering here at the meeting today and I sincerely appreciate your immediate presence due to the importance of today's item on the agenda." Yoongi states calmly but his palms are sweating while he flips the pages clipped into the crimson file. "Assuming that Seokjin has been informing you all what happened, I may move on to our purpose of today's meeting."

Jungkook clasps his hands together while chewing his lips, making them swollen red. It is obvious that he has been worrying about the issue while making his way to the meeting room. What he read in the files were unbearable and terrifying at the same time which is a case of mummification witnessed by a flock of sellers and shoppers. He thinks of them and decides to later call Taehyung to gather information via small investigations but his attention is divided when the room darkens and now dimly lit by the light coming from the projector in the center of the round table. A three-dimensional hologram sparks up showing the figure of a man dressed in a neat suit and tie. His hair is slick black and he possesses a sharp jawline. Many images pop up later showing the same man walking out of a company and getting out of his shiny black limousine while holding a young lady's hand. His appearance suits well with his name, Chin-Hwa, which appears after the three pictures are showed.

"This man is Lee Chin-Hwa, the victim of the mummification." Yoongi states as he reaches his hand out to control the holographic images. "He's the son of Lee Byungho, the CEO of the Lee Corporation which manages the system of five-star hotel branches in Seoul. Lee Chin-Hwa is the soon-to-be heir running the company. That's what I and the patrol team have discovered about the victim so far."

Yoongi swipes his hand to the left and a series of images photographing the gruesome crime scene of a well-suited man laying in an uncomfortable position on the driving seat. The body is decayed, showing spots of blackish crimson and wrinkled skin that resembles much like a dead flower. His face is hollowed, showing lifeless bloodshot eyes and ghostly white irises and all of that combined together make Jungkook feels haunted by the gruesomely detailed image of the sucked-up corpse.

Too bad that they have to find another heir..

"Chin-Hwa's body was reported by a group of sellers working downtown and they're recently being kept here to gather further information since they claimed that they had witnessed a scene before his last breath." Yoongi says seriously when the tension inside the room builds up. "The crime scene is now being protected and the corpse is now being transported to the Doctor's body to conduct a detailed and careful examination." Yoongi signals the Doctor body in which Jin stands up and receives the first of his record keeping.

"The Patrol body will continue to investigate with the I1 body, protect the crime scene and I want overall, medium rage and close-up photographs. Do not overlook any details that can give us possible conclusions." The representative of the I1 and the patrol body walk up to receive their files and return to their seats.

"Finally, I2 body will investigate close-up relatives or any connections according to the Doctor body's results." Jungkook receives the file and retursn to his seat with Namjoon and Taehyung. "You will also have a duty of investigating the sellers."

"The Doctor body will have to examine the body as closely and as detailedly as possible. I want the results done quickly but perfectly." Yoongi stated before seating himself on a cushion swivel chair. "Any objections or additions?"

The room is filled with deadly silence. Only the sound of flipping pages is heard.

"Seeing no objections, I motion to end the meeting here. You all may be dismissed."

Jungkook looks up from his computer screen that dimly illuminates the room he's in when two knocks followed by the sound of the door knob unlocked. A female with straight, shoulder-length hair, a color of spun gold that slightly shines under the white sodium gleam of the narrow corridor leading to his floor. Seeing the female, he inaudibly shushes her to be quiet and glances over at Taehyung and the prisoner who is sound asleep with his back against the wall. Seeing that the pink-haired male only stirs while Taehyung is still snoring, he beckons her to come closer and hands him whatever files are in her long, slim arms. The sound of her shiny black heels clicked on the tiled floor fills up the room.

"What is it that you want to inform me, Lisa?" Jungkook whispers with a deep tone.

The female named Lisa brushes her bangs with her slender fingers and puts the files in her arms down beside his computer. "Seokjin-hyung told me to deliver the files of the Doctor body," Lisa says after straightening her posture. "These are what we've discovered about after 2 days."

"Overall or detailed?" Jungkook reaches over to the files. 

Lisa looks around when her eyes hit the pink ball of fluff curling up against the wall while aimlessly reaching for something that she assumes is the blanket. "Uh.. both..."

Jungkook looks at where Lisa is looking and shrugs it off. "It's the drug trafficker of the downtown pub."

"I heard that they kept a handful of drugs, usually safe and legal types." Lisa grabs a chair and sits down quietly. "And deliver it to other pubs. What so special is that they somehow keep the drug buyers high using only a moderate amount without over-dosing, means that you have to decrease the usual jailing time."

"I've already done it thank you for your consciousness." Jungkook mockingly says. "Tae informs a bit about that boy, what's his name again? Ah, Jimin. Seems like he isn't the kind that use drugs."

"But he works in an environment that involves the presence of it." Lisa folds her arms "Soon enough you'll be seeing that Jimin is useful to what the data states."

"Yeah sure long limbs," Jungkook snickers and Lisa playfully glares at him. 

"At least them limbs are strong and attractive enough to find myself a girlfriend." Lisa winks and retreats downstairs. 

"Ugh, girlfriends to be exact. So many toys, international playgirl.." Jungkook shooks his head after the door closes and turns on his desk lamp to skim over the data collected by Jin's colleagues. And there, catches his eyes the most is the last bullet in bold and italic.

"... Heavy cigar and alcoholic aroma, a gentleman judging from the suit, the victim must have been in pubs near the crime scene." 

Jungkook creases his eye brows after skimming the data. He hated to admit that Lisa was right and even more when he imagines a police officer like him has to work with no other than a rotten culprit to solve the mystery...
