Seungri received a call in the morning requesting that he appear at the Masan P.D. regarding some questions about some missing people. Seungri was very obliging and told the caller he would be there in a couple of hours. He had some loose ends to attend to...Jimin and Jungkook. Seungri told the "Beast" he wanted Jungkook disposed of quickly before the police found him at his property. The property was an old business that hid several very well appointed rooms that Seungri worked from when he was in town. One room was his office, one was his living quarters, and one was the desolate, dank, cold room that Jungkook was being held in.

"WooLin, I want you to take care of getting rid of Jungkook. I don't care how you do it but don't do it here on the property. Understood? I don't want the police tracing anything from him left here and that includes blood. So also make sure the room is scoured clean." Seungri ordered.

"Yes, sir." the Beast responded.

"Jimin can stay where he is at since that is a hidden room. No one should be able to find the access door. I will have to go to the police. I am sure they have managed to figure out somehow that I am involved in this and now I have to figure out how to throw them off my tail." Seungri said. "Just make sure there is nothing that investigators can find in here that will make them think I'm hiding Jimin."

The two other men in the room with Seungri nodded in agreement.

"We will make sure everything is in order and nothing is left to chance, sir."

"Good! I expect that." snapped Seungri. "I'll return when I have sufficiently thrown them off track."

Thirty minutes later Seungri is seated in a chair in the investigations office of Masan P.D. and there are three officers in the room. One from Masan P.D. and two from Seoul. The officer from Seoul starts:

"So, Seungri we asked you to come down here to talk to us about your possible involvement into two missing members of BTS. We want to ask you some questions." Officer Yeonsu says.

"As you like but I don't understand why you think I'm involved in their disappearance. I'm sure they have many detractors but I'm not one. Go ahead?" Seungri says disarmingly.

"Well first, we know you took a flight to Osaka a month ago. What was your purpose in Osaka?" asks Officer Yeonsu.

"I went there to go shopping. I love high quality clothing and Osaka has some of the finest shops. Anything else?"

"Did you meet with anyone there?" Officer Won asks.

"No. I went by myself and met with no one. It was just a quick solo trip. Next." Seungri says.

"So did you give Jungwoo the orders to set up Jimin's room and destroy Jungkook's room before he left Korea or did you give the orders once you got to Osaka?" Officer Yeonsu asks knowing that Seungri did not know they had Jungwoo in custody.

Other than an imperceptible dilation of his eyes Seungri gave nothing away. No shift in position. No sweat. No decry of innocence. His hands didn't even shake.

"I'm sorry. Who are you talking about?" Seungri asks innocently.

"Seungri, lets not play games. You know very well who Jungwoo is. We do. He's sitting in one of our jails right now." Officer Yeonsu says irritated.

A slight twitch of Seungri's lip.

"What are you getting at?" Suengri asks softly.

"We know that Jungwoo is a family friend. Granted, one the family hasn't had contact with for a while but not you. You've been in contact with him all your life. You knew that he owed your family A LOT of money from loans.  That's why you used him. You paid him a little to help with his sick wife but the rest was to pay off the debt to your family. Am I right?" Officer Won asks.

Yeonsu continues, "We have him solidly identified, Jungwoo is the gentleman that asked for the spare key in Osaka, who bought the watch for cash, who bought the glass of champagne at the restaurant, who delivered the flowers to the boys dorm, and rear-ended and tased the guard and driver and kidnapped Jimin and Jungkook."

"Hhhhmmm. Yet, I don't see my involvement in any part of what you are saying." Seungri says with a smirk on his face.

"Well certainly Jungwoo would have no reason to buy all those things for Jimin and certainly did not have that kind of money. It had to be at the behest of someone who did have that kind of money and...oh, I don't know was obsessed with Jimin." Says Officer Won raising his eyebrow.

"Ha, ha, ha. That is funny. Obsessed with Jimin. I won't deny he is attractive but I hardly know him. We've met a couple of times at shows but nothing more than that. So where is your proof? You have nothing on me so if this is all you've got I think I will take my leave. I assure you though the next time you choose to speak with me my lawyer will surely be in attendance. Seungri scoffs at the officers.

Seungri gets up from the chair to leave and...

"It's amazing what an invention television was and how far it's come in just about 100 years. The technology is so advanced the quality and resolution of videos is breathtaking at times." says Officer Yeonsu.

"What has that got to do any of this?" Seungri asks agitated.

"Well here let me show you." says Officer Yeonsu. There is a flat-screen LED monitor in the investigation room with video uploaded and ready to run. He turns it on and it shows video clips of Seungri every time he has been on a show with Jimin in attendance. In every clip of video Seungri can be seen staring at Jimin and in the same area as Jimin but wherever Seungri was at he couldn't seem to take his eyes off of Jimin. Then the officer shows clips of Jimin and Jungkook and wherever they were Seungri was in the area but his expression was angry. In one scene where Jungkook is back hugging Jimin Seungri is seen literally storming off.

Seungri doesn't respond. No expression on his face what-so-ever. He huffs and turns to leave.

"You still have no proof of my involvement in their disappearance." Seungri says.

"Nope. Not directly...but we will." Officer Won says. "Oh, and by the way say 'hi' to Jisung for me. That's your attorney, right? He's my wife's brother. My wife is from Masan."

Officer Won threw that in because it would force Seungri to find another attorney since Jisung was now conflict of interest and could not represent Seungri. Masan wasn't exactly loaded down with lawyers so his next one would have to come from Seoul and that could take time he didn't have.

Seungri huffs getting ready to go out the door of the investigation room. Anger etching its way across his face and his demeanor slowly falling apart.

"Oh, before you leave you'll need these." Officer Won hands Seungri two documents.

"What are these?" Seungri snaps.

"Warrants to search your two properties. We'll be out today." Officer Yeonsu says.

Seungri snaps but before they can see his expression he storms out of the investigation room and out of the building. He pulls out his cell phone and makes a call.
