Chapter Thirteen: Obvious Clues

"So you guys good with one of you crashing on the couch and one in my guest room?" I inquired after emerging out from the kitchen.

"Yeah, thanks (y/n)." Yoongi nodded kindly before flopping onto the couch tiredly.

"What do you guys want for dinner?" I chuckled lightly as I watched the sleepish man's eyes fight falling asleep on my couch.

"Whatever is convenient." Namjoon shrugged.

"Pizza it is." I jumped up excitedly before exiting the room to call up the pizza place. Once the pizza arrived we all sat down at the dining table and dug into our dinner.

"So what's our next action plan?" I looked up after swallowing my mouth full of food.

"Our action plan?" Yoongi shoots me a puzzled expression, mouth full of food.

"She means how are we going to confront Dou." Namjoon pointed out, Yoongi froze for a second before bopping his head up and down, now understanding what I meant.

"You could always just be yourself." Yoongi shrugged whilst taking another bit of his pizza slice.

"Be himself what do you me~." I stopped mid-sentence as I had finally pieced what Yoongi was implying together.

He was implying that Namjoon could go and interview him as a new reporter since that was his job in the first place. I nodded my head in confirmation at Yoongi, as a smirk made it's way onto his and mine as well.

"What are you two smirking at, what do you mean mys~." Namjoon also stopped mid-sentence after catching onto what Yoongi and I were both smirking about. "Okay that won't work." He instantly denied.

"Why not, all you have to do is pretend to be surveying or gathering information for a report." I reasoned.

"Exactly, you act like you know what you're talking about all the time, I don't see the problem in it." Yoongi slyly smirked, Namjoon sent him a glare before Yoongi received a hard nudge in the ribs.

"Just pretend to be a surveying the street about a robbery nearby or statistics." I offered again. Namjoon stayed quiet as he contemplated whether our plan would work. "All you need to do is either get him to confess or get more information from him so we can further investigate him, plleeasse." I pleaded.

"I don't know." Namjoon trailed off.

"And we can hook up an earpiece, we will talk you through it if you get nervous, PPLLLLLEEAAASEEE." I sent him a pleading look and he tsked before giving into my pleads.

"Okay, I'll do it." I clapped my hands with joy as Namjoon frustratedly took a bit out of his pizza slice.

"THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU, I owe you guys big time." I cheered.

"You're welcome." Namjooj smiled reluctantly. We finished off our food and cleaned up together before sitting back down at the dining table to work on the case further.

I think we all agreed it would be better to spend this time to work together on the case instead of doing it in the future, messaging and calling each other back and forth. I was trying to find more news articles about Jungkook whereas Yoongi and Namjoon did some digging into the past of Jungkook and why this had happened. Maybe if we find out why, I would be easier to find out if Mr Wei's did actually kill him or if it was someone else.

"Hey (y/n)." I hear Namjoon call with an unsure tone in his voice. I hummed in response as the sound of papers ruffling could be heard afterwards. "Do you know who Jungkook's father is?" I nodded my head 'no' and Namjoon placed a piece of paper in front of my face, I am guessing it was from the case file. "His Mr Jeon's son." Namjoon spoke with shock.

Mr Jeon, as in the CEO of the leading investigation unite in Seoul. It can't be. I frowned upon hearing this and picked up the piece of paper Namjoon had handed me. And there it was, printed in black. "This can't be." I spoke in disbelief.

"This is probably why it was such a big deal." Yoongi mumbled. I frowned again before turning to my laptop and searching Mr Jeon's name up online. It popped up and I instantly went to news.

"I can't believe it." I scrolled through some news articles of Mr Jeon that was based on Jungkook supposedly committing suicide. "That means Jungkook was the heir to his company." The pieces were slowly starting to piece together.

"Mr Wei is the CEO of the second highest ranking investigation unit in Seoul, making Dou the heir." Namjoon though aloud. We all looked at each other with widened eyes, not believing the new information we had just discovered.

"That is definitely a motive."

"I agree, if they killed Jungkook that would mean there would be no heir to when Mr Jeon retires and the company will no longer be the highest ranking investigation unit in Seoul." The three of us knew this was a breakthrough of information. After all the time wasted we were finally getting somewhere with the investigation.

"This also explained why they didn't get this case, since Mr Jeon would have a personal connection with the case and would not be allowed to investigate as he might be biased. Mr Wei must have know what he would get the case because he can manipulate it to whatever he wanted to prove his son innocent." I was awestruck, I just simply stared straight in front as my brain began processing the information. I couldn't believe I didn't know about this. This clue was staring me right in the face but I had somehow missed it. I also couldn't believe Jungkook hadn't mentioned this. I pretty sure I would be telling everyone who I was if I was an heir, even if it wouldn't be a smart move.

"(Y/n)?" Yoongi called but yet again, I did not hear him. "(Y/N)!" I snapped out of my trance and turned my gaze to Yoongi. "Do you know if having a ranking in the investigation and the law firm will benefit in any way?"

"I don't know." I honestly answered. "But for one thing, you would definitely get the better and well-known cases which means more money."

"And you would also be better know, also contributes to money and getting the better lawyers and investigators," Namjoon added.

"I can't believe this clue was staring at us right in the face but we didn't even find it." I groaned in frustration. I covered my face with my hands and sighing.

"Well at least he has now, this is vital information." Yoongi chuckled before patting my back sympathetically.

"I think it's time to go to sleep, we can get well rested for the act we are putting on for Dou tomorrow."
