" we secured the place already. it was a hassle because some of the workers didn't agree to our doings even though the owner gave us the right to " saerom told as the two of you speed walk there.

you eventually heard loud murmurs and talk. the front part of the dumpster was covered with people trying to get a look at what was happening. three guards were at the front, hands spread out to stop the civilians from going in.

one of them finally saw you and saerom.

he told the two to move aside a bit, probably to let you in. when you thought back, you had seen him at a few crime scenes as a guard. maybe that's how he recognized you.

you and saerom walked past him and the talk grew louder. you shook it off and let your mind focused on the investigation.

you two walked around the dumpster and heard camera shutters clicking. some of the investigation team were already examining the situation while others put up warning lines. you grimaced and closed your nose at the horrifying smell.

it smelled like dried blood and corpse. you had a lot of investigation of dead bodies but most of them were investigated in the lab rather than out in the open.

" smells bad " saerom muttered. you shrugged, " better get used to it " and she just glared at your words.

your eyes averted to the face of the two dead bodies. even with all those bruises and cuts on their faces, you could tell they were younger than you. way younger.

' they're such young girls. maybe the same as chaewon or yerim ' you thought and pushed other thoughts away. you crouched down to get a better look while saerom examined the second body. there were multiple deep stabs, bruises, and cuts all around the girl's body.

saerom wasn't kidding when she said the families couldn't even recognize them.

you were starting to feel down when you found nothing crucial on the body. you swallowed the lump in your throat and took one last look.

that's when a short line of light caught your attention. you squinted your eyes and looked closer.

you wailed your arms, " saerom get me the damn tweezer " you told, looking up at her. saerom moved back and forth before spotting the small tweezer. she picked it up and handed it to you with curious eyes. you used the tweezer pick up the tiny thing.

" is that what i think it is? " saerom asked while focusing on the evidence. " glass. " you mumbled and examined the body again

. " on a further look, the bruises don't seem to be made with purposes. the victim would have struggled to fight back " you spoke and saerom nod her head in agreement.

" if the victim willingly did it with whoever-is-the-kidnapper, then that would have been an entirely different story. right? " saerom questioned with a frown before you confirmed her statement with a nod.

" sir, are all kind of trash put together into one place? " you asked one of the workers. the man in his 60s shook his head.

" no, the trashes are divided into different places. this one is only for papers, box, and woods " the old man told while fixing his crooked cap.

" then it wouldn't make sense that glasses are here " you said out loud. your eyes moved fast, searching for any other possible clues. your mind panicked and it didn't let you focus on the little details. fear swelled up.

your mind drifted off to where it wasn't supposed to end up at.

what if i failed to catch whoever is doing this? then her would roam free.
