Summary: Yoochun watched as jaejoong served the food and sat there watching them eat
Yoochun watched as jaejoong served the food and sat there watching them eat; he didn't eat from the food he cooked? That looked almost suspicious enough in his eyes, but if he wanted to poison yoochun he could have done it on breakfast, yoochun knew that but thinking about the case he didn't eat, more like he forgot the food in front of him
'You're not eating hyung?' changmin asked the question in yoochun's mind
'I…I will have dessert when Yunie comes, I'm not that hungry' jaejoong smiled weakly
Yoochun couldn't help but notice the worried tone the man talked with, he frowned and reached for the chopsticks, it was his habit when he was thinking of a case, to hold onto a pen or something like it and start twisting and spinning it with his hands till he figures it out
'How many villagers live here?'
'Around fifty give or take a couple' changmin frowned eyeing yoochun, this question was out of the blue
Yoochun nodded and kept twisting the chopstick
'And I'm sorry to ask this, but, when the murders happened, how long was it before the police was informed? And I don't mean the local police but the main department in Seoul'
Kibum stiffened now; he reached for changmin's hand and yoochun almost felt sorry he asked the question
'Why are you so interested in the murders?' jaejoong frowned ' I thought you didn't know about them?'
'I didn't but…but I must write a paper for collage, about old villages and the life style in them, that's why I came here in the first place… and I… I was just wondering'
'Asking about the murders again, are you?' yunho entered from the inn's main door and frowned at yoochun
Yoochun eyed the man, in this group it seemed. As he entered both men eating stood up and bowed at him before sitting down again
'I'll serve dessert' jaejoong rushed up and into the kitchen, a smile stretching on his face now, he was happy for sure to see the other man here
Yoochun tried to change the subject; he took out his mobile and checked it, no signal. Of course, why did he even bother?
'There is no signal for those things around, only satellite signal would help you' yunho reached to changmin's tray and snatched a piece of his meat, changmin gave him a sour face and frowned but didn't say anything, yunho was the respectful chief for sure, the ring leader
'You can have mine' yoochun passed his meat to the boy, he didn't question him but took him and began eating at once, and feeding kibum some pieces every now and then making sure he's eating well too
'Here's dessert' jaejoong served them some sort of pudding or something that yoochun wasn't familiar with, but as he liked sweets he tried some and it turned out to be good so he ate
'Does anyone else work in the inn beside you? A house keeper or something?' yoochun asked, trying to know who could have sneaked into his room
'No, it's just me, why?' jaejoong frowned
'I just wondered' yoochun shrugged ' it's a big place to take care of alone'
'I manage well' jaejoong sounded proud, yoochun knew it must be the family business for sure, and he was right
Yoochun finished his dessert and got out of the inn, he walked around and noticed the villagers, he went to the old ones and began chatting with them, he knew that asking them directly wouldn't work so he began with a light conversation about the weather and then asking them about how the work in the land is going and all before he began asking about the murders
From what yoochun found out the villagers never went into the woods, it became clear to him that they feared the woods somehow; they believed it to be cursed, haunted by a demon or something. Yoochun didn't believe that, he knew there would be a reasonable explanation for what's going on, he didn't believe in demons and ghosts
Yoochun even went to the cemetery and looked around, the victims were all buried in one row all the front of the cemetery, there were fresh flowers on two graves, yoochun read the names and found out they belonged to the Kims, the boy's parents, so he must be the one who laid the flowers on their graves
Yoochun checked the cemetery, nothing was odd, if the murderer was back shouldn't he visit his victims? Make sure what happened to them before carrying on with new victims? That was what he studied in the police academy, a murderer always comes back to make sure his victims are still as he wanted them
By evening yoochun had spoke to everyone, and checked everything, there was nothing out of the ordinary anywhere around him, he went back to the inn, he will spend the night and leave in the morning, everything was alright here
Inside the inn the same group was still gathered together, they were saying goodnight to each other now, yoochun was about to walk upstairs when he remembered something and turned to yunho
'Did you find out what was it in the forest?'
Kibum froze, his eyes wide and his hand grabbing on the air trying to reach for changmin's but unable to move, changmin's hand held onto him at once and he relaxed a little
'It was a stray horse, that's all' yunho nodded eyeing kibum and jaejoong and so did yoochun. The two men sighed and relaxed, changmin still didn't seem so relaxed as he pulled on kibum and left, yunho left right after them and a slightly more cheerful jaejoong walked to yoochun
'Do you want dinner?'
'No, I'm going to sleep; I think I'll be leaving early tomorrow'
Jaejoong shrugged and walked to the fireplace, yoochun walked upstairs again hissing at the weird annoying squeaking of the wooden stairs
Someone had went through the room again, yoochun noticed this the second he entered, this time they fell into shi trick, as he left a mall black box on the bed, it was locked, something old which he held his gun cleaning kit inside, the box was moved for sure, yoochun smirked and rushed to process it, taking every fingerprint he could find, tomorrow he will take them himself to the lab and make sure to find their owner, everything will be cleared when he does, he knew it
Yoochun barely slept that night, he couldn't wait to get back into the big city, to find a place to have a hot bath and some fast food or something, he couldn't wait for his life to get back on track
Opening his eyes, yoochun sprinted out of bed and gathered his stuff, he noticed the wooden window open, he was sure he closed it last night, or did he? He was too busy thinking to even notice it
Not bother about a stupid window yoochun held his stuff and rushed down to see jaejoong sitting in front of the fire whispering something to yunho, yoochun didn't like the look in their eyes but didn't think about it, he was leaving home already
'Leaving already?' yunho asked
'I must go back to Seoul now, I need to get something to… my professor, and see if he'll approve with me on the project and all' yoochun smirked
Yunho nodded, he didn't care much actually, he did his job, he came and checked, everything seems normal but for the freak who went through his room not caring even to go through the case's papers, and for that he needed to process the fingerprints he found and see to whom they belonged
Getting into his car yoochun drove back, he drove back home while something bothered him, something he couldn't understand
All through the long drive this mystery of the weird stalker, it was bothering him to no end now, he didn't drive home but to the station at once, it was dark already and he was tired but he didn't care, he rushed to the lab and handed in all the samples he gathered and asked for them to be processed at once, while he went to his leader
'So?' the old man asked yoochun
'Something is weird there, but I don't think it's the murderer again, I asked everyone and checked everything, there is nothing weird there but for one tiny thing'
'Which is?'
'I'll tell you when I make sure of it' yoochun mumbled ' I'm going back to the lab'
'So, you're going back to work now?' the chief yelled after him
'I want a month of paid vacation! That place was hell!!' yoochun yelled and the old man chuckled. Well, it was about time yoochun used his paid vacations which he never used before
Yoochun went back to the lab, the finger prints were his own, some from the room were to jaejoong, that must of happened when he lit up the fire for him because those sets of fingerprints were found near the fireplace. Another set of fingerprints wasn't identified, there was no data whatsoever about its owner in all the data bases, that fingerprint seemed to belong to a ghost…
