"My poor son!" Mrs. Jung was wailing at the police station, loud enough for everyone to hear. "My poor, poor son! I'm gonna sue everyone here!"

After two days of thorough questioning, Hyojin was finally released from custody. All his alibi checked out and he was officially cleared by the police but Mrs. Jung was turning it into a fiasco. Woohee and Chanmi were wary of the woman who was creating a scene while Sera, who came with her mother, was standing quietly in a corner.

"Ma'am, your son was brought in as a suspect and he's legally an adult!" Woohee stressed. "You can't sue us at all."

"Oh shut up!" Mrs. Jung snarled at her. "I'm not gonna spare any of you!"

The officers were getting annoyed by her but they could not do anything to stop her. She could shout and scream for hours but it was of no use anyway. No matter how many times they explained the law, she was adamant on her stance.

"What's with all the commotion?" Jiwoon frowned. Upon seeing her, Mrs. Jung immediately flared up again.

"Where's my son?" She shrieked. "WHERE IS HE?"

"Signing his release forms," Jiwoon said curtly. "Any problem?"

Her indifferent gaze made Mrs. Jung angrier but she did not dare to mess with her again. After the embarrassment last time, she knew that Jiwoon was not someone she could mess with.

"Please sit down and wait for your son to come out," Jiwoon said in a calm tone. At that very moment, Hyojin came out of one of the cabins and saw his mother.

"Mom!" he exclaimed and hugged her.

"My son! My precious son!" Mrs. Jung yelled. Sera came forward as well, happily crying.

"Bro!" she sniffed. Hyojin hugged her as well, happy to be reunited with his family.

"If you find out anything about the case, don't forget to call us," Jiwoon told him.

"He won't be calling anyone-" Mrs. Jung began but Hyojin stopped her.

"I will let you know as soon as I find anything," he promised. "I'll make sure that Rachel's killer is caught!"

"Hyojin, you don't have to do this!" Mrs. Jung said but he shook his head.

"You don't know what that monster did to her," he growled. "I saw the photos, mom. He completely destroyed her! He...he didn't just burn her with acid. Her hair was ripped off from her skull and he made a dog bite all over her body! And then…"

He trailed off, still haunted by the memories of what the other detective had told him. After hearing what happened to the girl he had loved, he could not stay still and decided to help the cops in any way he could.

Mrs. Jung was gaping at her son but Sera went very still upon hearing the graphic description. Her hands were clammy and she was now scared.

Jiwoon, who was standing close, noticed her expression and frowned. Why is she so scared? She wondered.

"Let's go," Mrs. Jung said. "This was such an embarrassing time for us! First the party was disliked by the guests, then Song Yohan fell into a coma! And then my son was arrested. I'm just so frustrated! We're going home and styling low. You understand me?"

"Yes mom," Hyojin replied. He was dragged away by his mother but Sera was still absent minded. She was thinking about what her brother just said…

"Sera!" her mother called. "We're getting late, dear."

"Coming!" she said and scurried after her mother. As soon as they left, Jiwoon turned to Chanmi.

"That girl," she began. "What do we know about her?"

"She's a student at Dalton High as well," Chanmi replied. "Junior to Rachel though. I heard that she was humiliated by that girl a lot."

"Keep an eye on her," Jiwoon ordered. "Get more information about this girl and her relationship with Rachel. When her brother was talking about Rachel's corpse, she seemed distressed."

"Yes detective!" Chanmi nodded. "I'll collect all the information I can."

Just then, Hobin entered the precinct. His duty at the hospital was over and he came over as soon as he could.

"Where's Tinkerbell?" he asked.

"At the Song Mansion, looking for more clues," Jiwoon replied. "You're done with the burn book, doctor?"

"I am," he said. "It's enough to scar anyone for lifetimes!"

They followed him to one of the empty meeting rooms where Hobin sat them down. "Rachel lied to her boyfriend about her affair," he began. "She's been with that college guy for months. But she hid it from him and was taping those explicit videos to make extra cash."

"We better not tell this to the boyfriend," Chanmi sighed. "He agreed to help us."

"I agree," Hobin nodded. "Also, this burn book has all her dirty deeds in it…"

He flipped the pages and pointed at one para. "This girl, Moon Chaeyong, had plastic surgery and Rachel was using that information to extract favors from her."

Turning the page, he located another passage. "She was also blackmailing another boy named Hong Kijoo. He had illegally visited a red light district in the North and one of Rachel's minions spotted him."

Jiwoon flipped the pages and to her shock, the whole book only had things which Rachel used to blackmail people.

"This thing consists of the secrets of hundreds of people!" she gasped. "And they are just teenagers!"

"Her mom's secret was here too," Chanmi replied. "But someone tore off those pages."

"Probably Seohyun herself tore them off," Hobin said. "But what concerns me is this one."

He pointed at one page which had Sera's name on it. "Rachel made a friend of hers lure Sera into a love trap," he revealed. "And when Sera fell for it, Rachel humiliated her. She did this to her boyfriend's sister because Sera had discovered Rachel's affair."

"Sera looked very scared when Hyojin was talking about Rachel," Jiwoon recalled. "Does this mean she knows something?"

Before Hobin could reply, Dahoon came rushing into the room.

"What is it?" Chanmi asked.

"I cross checked the pictures of the students with the other suspect who was at Song Mansion that night," he revealed and put the printout of the image on the table. Hobin, Jiwoon and Chanmi glanced at the picture. It was Sera.

"I guess, the Jung's aren't done with police stations yet," Jiwoon sighed. "We gotta brace up for another shouting round."

"How about I talk to her at her house?" Hobin asked slowly. "I'm sure she'll respond better to me. She did at the party."

"Arresting her will be more complicated than her brother," Jiwoon agreed. "A lawyer will be present and she can't answer us."

Something then struck him. The poltergeist was already targeting Sera but they had assumed it was because of previous grudges.

Was it possible that Rachel was targeting Sera because the latter was a witness to the murder?

Hobin got up, eager to go and question Sera. "Tell Tinkerbell to meet me at the Jung Mansion. I'm heading there."

"Shouldn't you wait for the boss to arrive and then go to question the suspect?" Jiwoon frowned but Hobin shook his head.

"There's no time!" he exclaimed. "If Sera saw something that night and is hiding it, then the sooner we get it out of her, the better."

Without another word he sped off.

I just hope the poltergeist doesn't turn up, Hobin prayed.
