TP POV:


"Another victim?" The angel asked perplexed. This was getting more complicated than he thought. "Well, this is getting interesting" Jeongguk said whilst smirking. He tried to compose himself a little because of the glare his twin gave him, but obviously, that wouldn't help much.

The raven cleared his throat. "Well, let's get on with the interrogation, shall we? Time is of the essence" the king of hell said cheekily and clapped his hands to set the course into motion. the three faced the priest who was still very bewildered by the situation. Namjoon stepped forward towards the old man. "Excuse me, father. I would like to ask you some questions about Mrs. Hira Lee." The tall man said. The priest smiled at him and told him he would answer as much as he knew. "How did you come to know Mrs. Lee?" Was the first question Namjoon asked. Jeongguk and Taehyung closely observing the man's actions.

"Lady Hira is a faithful believer of God. She is a very kind woman and really loved by the people around her. She was a regular at our church and I would see her frequently. That is how we've come to know each other." The man said. "'Is'? Did you not hear the news?" Lucifer suddenly asked. He never really had the thought of censoring his words. Taehyung hit him on the chest and gave him a pointed look, the latter left confused at the action.

"No, what news?" The man again asked confused. Namjoon cleared his throat and looked at the latter regretfully for baring such news. "Mrs. Lee was murdered a few nights ago." He said softly. The priest's eyes were blown wide from the declaration. "What? Why would anybody do that? She was such a sweet girl" the priest asked, seemingly heartbroken. "That is what we are trying to find out father," Namjoon says.

"So father, if I may ask, was Mrs. Lee just a regular at the church, or was she involved much more?" The officer asked. "Yes. She would always try to help the church any way she could, the funds, and everything. Such a kind soul she was. That is why we accepted her as one of our unofficial sisters since she already had a husband and children." The priest explained. The three nodding at the information.

"Did she have fights with anyone or had people who would want to hurt her?" Namjoon yet again asked. The priest shook his head in the negative. "No, everyone loved her." The man continued.

"Alright father, that is all I wanted to ask for now. Do you have anything else to add that you think might help us?" The detective asked again in confirmation. "I cannot remember anything of significance at the moment." The man replied. "Well, here is my card. If you recall anything that might help with our investigation, please call me" Namjoon said at last and bowed to the man before the three left for the crime scene.

"What did her family have to say about her sudden death?" Taehyung asked the detective. They were in Jeongguk's 62 Corvette, the demon lord on the driver seat, and (much to his dismay) Namjoon on the shotgun. Taehyung was sitting at the back and looking around the streets to memorize some routes for his mental map.

"Well, her parents had passed away some years ago and she doesn't have any in-laws. Since her husband, Roger is an orphan. So all that's left is the husband and children. Roger Lee was the one to file Hira's missing report whilst her son and daughter are both seven and four years old. So it's safe to say they don't know much of anything. Roger was devastated, to say the least," the detective explained. "It must be so tough for him and the kids," Taehyung said solemnly.

Jeongguk looked at his twin from the front mirror in concern but soon focused on the road. "It really must be V" Namjoon replied, sympathizing along with the angel. Lucifer, however, wasn't bothered as much. He has been dealing with the dead for far too long for him to care anymore.
