Undercover CEO

Chap#21

'Jeonghan, what's wrong?', Mingyu asked as they were seated in Jeonghan's car, heading towards the Gucci shop.

Junhui and Minghao looked utterly tensed.

'Greil's been murdered', Jeonghan muttered.

'Oh-wait! WHAT?!', Minghao, Junhui and Mingyu shouted together.

The surrounding turned dark to them.

The car was near to lose balance because of Mingyu.

'Eyes on the road, Mingyu. Minki hyung called me and...he said that he saw Greil's murdered body lying on the floor of his green room', Jeonghan concluded.

Suddenly, the car halted and they all got out.

The threshold of the store were flooded with reporters and cops. Away from the crowd, at one corner of the main door stood Minki, eyes shut and hands crossed over each other.

As they approached him, Minki raised his eyes to Jeonghan and broke off, ' I was just going to get Gre-Greil - when I opened the do-door-'

'It's okay, hyung. Calm down. WHERE'S GREIL'S MANAGER!?', Jeonghan shouted.

'Sir, here. I'm very sorry for the loss', a weak voice sounded behind them.

Jeonghan looked behind to see a frail figure of Chanhee.

'What the hell happened here?', Jeonghan asked.

'Sir, Greil was sent to the greenroom for changing clothes but didn't came back after that, I went to check on him an hour later and found his dead body.'

Jeonghan released a sigh, he's whole body burning with rage.

His eyes then fell on the body covered in blood-soaked white cloth.

He ran towards it.

Taking of the cloth from the face, he saw the sleeping face of the boy who was like a dearest family member to him - the sleeping face of Greil Sutcliffe.

Tears fought their way back, Jeonghan gulped down a huge amount of air and then whispered in Greil's ear, ' I'm sorry, I won't spare the animal who did this to you, you can trust your Master with this, rest in peace', he finished and placed the cloth back where it was.

'Funeral will be held tomorrow morning, I want a proper burial for him', Jeonghan commanded and others nodded.

'Shouldn't we go check the greenroom by ourselves?', Junhui suggested.

'So if Greil was standing here', Minghao said as he pionted to the middle of the room,' and the bullet came in from the window's corner that means...', he examined the wall diagonal of the window where a hole was made,'...here, the bullet passed Greil's body.'

Minghao pointed at a small bullet emerged with the wall.

'Junhui, do you know which gun's bullet is it?', Jeonghan asked.

'Lemme see, oh it's a Scoped M1 Garand', Junhui breathed, ' I had no clue these are still manufactured, it was used in World War 2.'

'Something's off.',Jeonghan mumbled.

'Jeonghan, Joshua's alone at home?', Minki asked.

'No hyung, he didn't arrive yet maybe, he wasn't there when we left.', Jeonghan sighed.

'You guys should go home, me and Seungchol can take care of things here', a familiar voice sounded behind them.

They all turned and saw the shadowed face of Kwon Hoshi.

'You?', Mingyu asked.

'Yes, I can continue investigation here, you guys don't have to overwork yourselves, go home and rest, tomorrow there'll be a funeral, right?', Hoshi concluded in a convincing tone.

'I think he's right, Jeonghan lets head home', Minki said as he took Jeonghan by the wrist and brought him out in fresh air.
