At the Song mansion, the servants in the kitchen were busy preparing a large amount of food. Rachel's funeral would be held the next day and they would have to cater to around hundred guests. Seohyun was locked in her room crying while their boss was still hospitalized. It was an extremely busy day and the kitchen was in chaos.

"Oi kid!" Hana shouted at the thin boy who was cutting the carrots. "Where are the carrots? Why is it taking so long to cut them?"

"I'm sorry, Ms. Hana!" The boy apologized. "I cut my hand so I'm a little slow today."

"You always have a cut on your fingers!" Hana snapped at him. "Why are you such an idiot? And how do you get so many cuts?"

She glared at his hands. For some reason, this boy always has scratch marks and cuts on his fingers which make no sense. He lives in the outhouse with the other males servants and Hana saw no reason for him to have so many cuts. Moreover, he was in his late twenties and it was strange for a guy that young to have so many cuts.

"I got them when I went to feed the stray dog outside," the boy said apologetically. His pasty skin was sweaty from the heat and he was trying to focus on the carrots.

"Stop feeding those dogs, Seokhyun!" Hana scolded him. "They carry so many diseases!"

"It's just one dog, Ms. Hana," Seokhyun murmured. "He's a good dog, really."

"Well that dog is biting your hand off so I'd suggest you stop getting too close to that filthy mutt!" Hana said. "Now hurry up and cut the carrots!"

Seokhyun nodded and picked up the knife again to cut the carrots. The servants around him were working and gossiping amongst themselves.

"Poor Ms. Rachel," one servant named Ai was saying. "She was so young."

"The girl reaped what she sowed," an old man by the name of Han grumbled. "She was mean to all of us. Made our lives hell."

"She'd have had poor Seohyun fired!" Hana piped in. "Ugh! She just wanted to kick him out for no reason. He was just cleaning her room!"

"You must have had it hard, eh Seokhyun?" Ai asked, pitying the boy. He was the youngest among them and had joined the mansion only a year ago. In a short amount of time, he managed to learn the work and also knew the mansion well. All the servants had access to almost all the corners of the mansion even though it was too big for them to navigate in one day. In fact, they had a rotation wise cleaning system every week. They would clean one part of the house for one week before moving onto the next parts for the subsequent weeks.

However, after Miss Rachel's body was found in the basement, Seohyun ordered them to clean the house everyday and check every room at least once a day. She was now keeping tabs on the place herself. After losing her daughter, Seohyun had seemed to have a wake up call and was now more involved in the household activities.

"She made your life hell, right?" Hana asked Seokhyun. "I remember how she yelled at you for touching that horrible book of hers when in fact, I was the one who sent you upstairs to clean the room."

"We shouldn't speak ill of the dead," Seokhyun mumbled, still cutting the carrots.

Another servant entered the kitchen and addressed Hana.

"Hana, where are the cleaning chemicals which were brought in last month?" he asked her. "I can't seem to find any of them!"

"Huh?" Hana frowned. "Master's secretary delivered around a hundred of those peroxides and cleaning stuff. You can't find them?"

"No," the cleaner replied. "I counted them last month and allotted around fifty chemicals for cleaning the house. But I only found fifteen of them! That's a huge amount of chemicals missing!"

Every month, Fei Pharmaceuticals delivered a hundred cans of cleaning chemicals and peroxides free of cost for the servants to use for the Song mansion. Each chemical can have a unique code so that if anyone tried to sell them, the company would be able to track them down.

"None of us touched them," Hana frowned. "They're always kept in the shed…"

"What about the CCTV footage?" the cleaner demanded.

"You know very well the footage in that area is broken," Hana sighed. "The madam broke it and never fixed it so her lover can enter and exit through the basement door!"

"That's strange…" the cleaner shrugged. "I guess they were used up by the cops when they checked this place for clues."

"Probably," Hana replied. "After all, those chemicals can't be sold off without a license. If anyone tried, the company would be notified."

Seokhyun lowered his head and kept his gaze on the carrots while the other servants kept on gossiping about Rachel. Outside the mansion, Jina parked her car on the side of the street. She was accompanied by Hobin, Jiwoon and Dahoon who were watching the mansion carefully.

"This guy's name is Seokhyun," Jina was saying. "No family name was found. He joined around a year ago and has been staying with the Song's ever since. He has no criminal record but is known as a loner."

"But he has no dog," Jiwoon frowned. "Where did he manage to find one?"

"We'll have to ask him ourselves," Hobin said. They got out of the car and headed towards the mansion. Jina and Hobin went to the front door while Jiwoon headed for the backdoor and Dahoon towards the basement. They were sealing off the possible exit points in case the suspect tried to escape.

Jina rang the doorbell and waited. After a few minutes, the door clicked open and Hana's face appeared.

"Officer, we're all busy and can't answer any questions-" Hana was saying but Jina and Hobin barged into the mansion.

"Hey!" Hana protested. "You can't enter!"

"Where's Seokhyun?" Jina demanded.

"Why do you want him?" Hana asked angrily. "We are-"

Hobin, who was glancing around, saw the pasty looking man peeking out of the kitchen. But as soon as their eyes met, Seokhyun quickly ran.

"There he is!" Hobin yelled. Jina did not waste another second and sprinted off after Seokhyun who was now running through the long kitchen. He pushed past the startled cooks and maids, making his way towards the backdoor. Picking up some trays, he threw them back at Jina, who dodged them.

Chaos ensued and the servants were screaming as Seokhyun ran as fast as he could with Jina on his tail.

"STOP!" she ordered but the guy was really fast. Seokhyun was almost at the backdoor when it burst open and a slim figure kicked him backwards.

"AGH!" the pasty guy screamed and staggered on the floor. Jina jumped on him, locking his hands with handcuffs. Hobin also appeared, panting while Jiwoon emerged from the backdoor, twisting her foot a little. She had kicked him really hard and she probably sprained her ankle but leaned over to help Jina control the criminal.

"Seokhyun, you are under arrest for the murder of Song Rachel," Jina declared. "You have the right to a lawyer and the right to remain silent."

Hobin also stooped low, adding, "And to be honest, if I were you, I'd rather stay shut and face the punishment."
