Saving the Assassin

Chapter 23: Cheat behind the Trick

Luhan bit his lip, pondering, together with Kris at their office tapping his fingers vehemently on his table.

"Why were you gone for so long? Was this somehow related to your girlfriend's death?"

"What about her? She was gang raped and killed. So I thought I should go get a life and find a living overseas til I grew one and came back here with this company. Isn't this a personal concern?"

Another set of finger tapping thuds the table.

"By any means, did you have a conflict with him?"

"No not really. I just started distancing myself from them after the incident. Escape from grief with alone time I must say. They were BAD INFLUENCE ANYWAY."

"Luhan." Kris called.

"How were they bad influence to you?"

"Maybe you should try asking his backup. You never know the cheat behind the trick."

"Luhan?" Kris tapped his shoulder making him snap out of his trance. "Yes?" He finally answered. "I was calling you for ages." He blunted. "So. I think Daesuk's words were preferring to another someone behind Bae Jun's side."

"Same. It was like he indirectly said that he had something about the crimes but we have to investigate further to have evidence against him." Luhan said with furrowed brows.

"Yah maknaes!" Kris called.

"Yeah?" They replied in unison.

"Any ideas there?"

"Hyung. This might sound like it's a long process. But we think... we should check on their old highschool campus. Ji Mo's wife told us about this reunion they always had too. Like the one with In Ha." Sehun nodded with Tao satisfied with their plan.

"That's a good suggestion. Let's go report and continue with chief." Luhan lead.

"Progressed haven't you?" Chanyeol welcomed their entrance with a grin making them all smile.

"I see." The chief nodded in satisfaction. "Speak."

"Any idea who might Bae Jun's backup be?"

"You're detectives. Go learn it yourselves. This is enough information I can give you."

Luhan and Kris explained the important points with their interview with Daesuk whilst Sehun and Tao did the same.

"That's good. Two heads are enough. Sehun and Tao. It's your turn."

"Okay."

Daejung High past 2:00 pm

"Here's the yearbooks for classes 1980-1981, 1981-1982, 1982-1983, 1983-1984 & 1984-1985 Sir. I'll be at the front desk if you need any more references." The authorized facilitator handed the books after dusting it from a secluded shelf. They bowed to thank her.

How did they know what yearbook to request for? They estimated Ji Mo and his friends' age by face. Such brilliance.

An old library they were lead to as it contained old records and yearbooks. It was opened especially for them for the investigation. They sat at the given tables and started.

They opened the first book turning several pages finding their subject's specific names together in one class to no avail.

"Class 1981-1982. Freshmen year. In Ha and Daesuk together in one section while Ji Mo and Bae Jun are seperated into two other secs." Sehun said holding the second book.
