Jina dropped Miyoo at the playschool and drove towards the police station. She was driving along the highway to beat the traffic. The road was fairly free with fewer cars on this route. Her phone rang so she put it on bluetooth.

"Yes Jiwoon," she greeted. "What's up?"

"Boss, there's a new case," Jiwoon was saying. "A murder-suicide in the central city. I talked to the witness, a kid named Kim Baro. He told me that on the night of the murder, he heard the murderer through his walls, saying something about 'Beezan will find you again, little pet'."

"Beezan?" Jina frowned. "Was that the name of the murderer?"

"The murderer's name was Park Jongwha and he was the youngest one in the house. He was around twenty years old. We checked his medical records and his past. Nothing. He was a bright kid with ambitions. In fact, he was also getting a scholarship abroad. Makes no sense why he'll throw it all away."

Jina was now slightly speeding along the road, smoothly avoiding the cars. She was an expert driver and was navigating well. Her eyes were on the road as she spoke with Jiwoon.

"Ask his peers if he was having any troubles," Jina stated. "Also, check their familial ties. And-"

A white figure popped out of nowhere, startling Jina. She stepped on the pedal hard but the car seemed to have lost control. It swerved along the road, swirling madly until Jina pressed the emergency brakes. It came to a halt.

Jina was breathing heavily, her face sweating. She had gone pale with fright and clambered out of the car to look around. There was no one in sight.

Was it a ghost? She wondered. Jina was sure that she saw a thin, white figure standing in the middle of the road. It appeared all of a sudden and disappeared within seconds. She was sure that it was a wandering spirit. It was not uncommon for some spirits to play pranks on passerbys. Even without becoming a poltergeist, there were some spiteful ghosts who wanted to harm those who were alive simply out of jealousy.

"Fucking mad!" she cursed. She absolutely despised such ghosts.

Cursing it out loud, she got back into her car to start the engine only to find that the battery died.

"Great!" she exclaimed. "This dumb thing had to be wrecked! UGH!"

If I catch that darm ghost, I'll make it pay for the repairs! She swore as she called the emergency services. What a great start to the day.

…

"You look wrecked," Jiwoon commented when Jina finally strolled into the precinct. A toll truck took her car to the garage. The driver was nice enough to give her a lift to the police station so Jina was able to arrive on time.

"My car broke down," she grumbled. "So where are we on the case?"

Jiwoon handed her the case files and articles.

"He killed his parents and siblings with a rifle before killing himself?" Jina frowned, flipping through the pages.

"Yep," Jiwoon replied. "But where did he get the rifle? He lived in an apartment. Surely, someone would have seen him carrying it. I also checked for the license on the rifle but there was none."

"Any crime scene analysis? Also, this case is out of our jurisdiction. The thirtieth precinct should be investigating this! Why has it been handed to us?"

"Well…"

As if answering Jina's question, the door of Chief Taejoon's office burst open and Taejoon came out with the Commissioner, Shun Bodong. Everyone instantly stood up to salute the Police Commissioner. In his early sixties, Shun Bodong was one of the most capable police officers in his prime. He caught several high profile serial killers and was a strict disciplinarian. Even though he was shorter than Taejoon, he carried a commanding aura. With his completely white hair and hooded dark eyes, he was attentive and intuitive.

Taejoon was openly trying to chum up with him now.

"Sir, don't you worry at all!" Taejoon was saying. "I took up this case because I'm sure that we can solve it within a few days! After all, we managed to catch the psycho killer from the Song Rachel case. My team did it!"

"Which is why I heeded to your request, er…"

Bodong checked Taejoon's name tag. "Taejoon. Otherwise I wouldn't have heeded to this request. Moreover, I know that Doctor Ohm Hobin is here. I'm sure that he can give you insights on this case."

"Of course!" Taejoon said. Jina wanted to barf.

Doesn't his tongue get tired of licking so many boots? She wondered in disgust.

The Commissioner was about to leave when his eyes fell on Jina. He was well acquainted with her family, having worked with her mother in a few cases.

"I hope everything is well, Detective Hwang," he said to her in a courteous manner. Jina smiled at him. She did not know much about the man and only met him a few times over her life. Earlier, she assumed that Hobin probably had some dirty laundry on him which is why they were stuck with Doctor Demon but the way Bodong spok of Hobin, it seemed that they were not on bad terms.

"I'm fine," Jina bowed. "Thank you sir, for asking."

The Commissioner then turned to Jiwoon, who saluted him. He gave her an uncharacteristically warm smile. Everyone at the precinct knew that Jiwoon was trained personally by the Commissioner when she was at the academy six years ago. At that time, he was the acting head of the academy and trained recruits there.

"You've cut your hair," he noted. "I see you're keeping your resolve."

"I am," Jiwoon said with a hint of pride. Jina was a little confused by what it meant but she did not pry. Her partner was notoriously private about her thoughts.

Bodong smiled at her and nodded before turning to Taejoon.

"Make sure these girls get all the help they need for this case," he ordered. "I'll ask them directly for the updates. Understood?"

"Yes sir!" Taejoon exclaimed, happy to burden others with the work. Jina wanted to slap that annoying face but she refrained from doing so. She did not want to dirty her hands.

"Annoying asshole," she muttered once they were out of earshot. "He just wants brownie points!"

"And we all know he won't get any," Jiwoon sighed.

"I'll go visit the crime scene," Jina suggested. "You go to the forensic lab and see if Kyuhyun is done examining the bodies. Let's get to the bottom of this murder-suicide craze."
