I'm A Mess (Minsung) Detective x Serial Killer (COMPLETED)

Prologue

Two years ago~

"Detective Lee! Over here!" The freckled boy beckons me over to him as I step over the caution tape that covers the doorway. My footsteps echo off the wooden floors as I walk over to where he squats on the ground, examining the victim's body with gloves on his hands.

"What is it, Felix?" I ask as I squat next to him. He pulls the cover off of the body to reveal the giant stab wound in his back. There's still scarlet red blood pooling onto the floor, which lets me know that the wound is still fresh and the murder weapon has been removed.

"Officer Seo called it in as a suicide fifteen minutes ago. But there is no way that this was a suicide. See the stab wound? It's in his back. There is no fucking way possible that the victim committed suicide." Felix states.

"So...Mr. Han was murdered?" I conclude. He nods.

"Yep. And the only witness was his seventeen year old son, Jisung." Felix points behind him at a quivering brunette haired boy sitting on the floor with tears on his face, staring into space. I stare at him for a minute before flicking my eyes back to Felix.

"Officer Bang's been trying to talk to him about his father for almost half an hour, but the kid won't say a thing. Not a word." He continues.

"He seems to be in shock...probably from seeing his own father killed right in front of his eyes...do we have any background checks on the victim? Any records of people who would try to hurt him, or anything that could lead us to the killer?" I ask. Felix shakes his head.

"Not yet. We've got Jeongin on it back at the station, but we probably won't get any answers for a couple of days." I nod.

"Thanks, Felix. Keep up the good work, I'm gonna go talk to Officer Bang for a few minutes." I say before patting his back and walking away.

"Officer Bang!" I call while walking towards him. He turns away from what seem to be worried neighbors and looks at me.

"Yes detective? You need me?" He responds.

"Yes actually, I do. Do you have any background knowledge on that Jisung kid? Anything that could give us a lead on what happened?" He shakes his head.

"Not really...I mean he seems like he's in plenty of shock, I tried to talk to him but he won't utter a single word. Maybe if we give it some time and then call him in for questioning he'll talk, but until then I don't think he's going to say anything."

"Is he the victim's only child?"

"Yep. His mother left years ago, divorced his father when the kid was only nine. We've tried tracking her to see if we can find out where she ran off to in case we need to question her about her husband, but we can't find her anywhere. Went completely off the radar." He crosses his arms.

"Weird...according to Felix, it looks like the victim was murdered. I examined the wound in his back, definitely not a suicide."

"Do we have any leads on who could have killed him?"

"As for right now, not at all. We'll have to see in a few days if we get any."

"Right...you go ahead and head home, Minho. I can take it from here." Chan replies.

"Alright Chan, I'll see you at the station tomorrow." I respond before patting his shoulder and walking to my car. The entire case sits in the back of my mind and troubles me until I reach my apartment.

I stumble in through the front door and take off my jacket and boots, turning on the lights in the living room before heading to the bathroom for a shower. As I start running the water and undressing, I get this sharp pain in my chest and I start coughing. I lean over the toilet as I cough, closing my eyes as I feel something come up my throat and I throw it up into the toilet.

"What the fuck?" I ask myself as I stare at what just came out of my body.

Are those....flower petals?
