Summary: Yoochun looked around
Yoochun looked around, he was somewhere in the middle of the forest now, the trees were lighter and there was something like a tiny lake there and in its middle was the stony, old shrine. Yoochun noticed footprints around the lake where the ground was muddy; the prints were made by bare feet, something which yoochun thought to be odd
Walking to the lake yoochun looked around more carefully, to his right the trees had made some sort of a trail; someone had walked that way a lot that it flattened the grass and bent the trees
In a second he made his mind, he kept walking into the trail till he saw something. Someone, a man around his age was wearing a white hanbok and playing with what looked like an old doll made of bamboo leafs braided together
Yoochun had his gun at the ready, although the boy didn't seem dangerous he didn't trust him
'Who're you?' the boy turned to look at him, suddenly and frowned. He looked and sounded frightened
Yoochun eyed the boy, he was so slim, was wearing an old, all white hanbok and had a brown hair, dark brown hair and dark brown eyes, his skin was so white and his lips were red, he looked so pretty that yoochun forgot to breath for a second
'What's your name?' the boy repeated. Still, he took a step backward
'I'm yoochun… who're you?'
'Junsu…I'm junsu…' the boy whispered, again he sounded scarred
'Well junsu, where do you live?'
Junsu pointed at somewhere behind yoochun, yoochun took that to mean the village and nodded. If he was a villager, then he's not the killer. The killer, is someone from this never ending forest
'Wh…what's this? Lee shi wants to know' junsu pointed at the gun
'Lee shi?' yoochun blinked
Junsu pulled the doll up for yoochun to see ' Lee shi' he whispered
'Of course' yoochun nodded his head; he almost rolled his eyes, almost
'So, what is it?' junsu asked again
'This is a gun, do you know what a gun is junsu?'
Junsu shook his head and pouted a little ' is it a toy?' he finally asked
'Something like it' yoochun almost burst out laughing. A toy, yea right!
Junsu looked around; he was still uncomfortable and scarred a little, as if waiting for someone to come around, to catch them and yell at him or something, he was like a scared little boy who had done something wrong and is afraid of his mother finding out
'Waiting for someone?' yoochun couldn't help but ask
Junsu shook his head but still looked around. Yoochun was getting suspicious
Yoochun was about to say something else, about to ask junsu something when he heard it, a crow called out loud and a lot of crows flew at once in the direction of the forest, a bad omen, and the call was followed by a loud yell from the direction of the village
'Must go' junsu widened his eyes and rushed away. Yoochun was torn between following him to where he's going or go and see what happened at the village
Finally, yoochun decided to rush back to the village, junsu was out of sight already, and besides, he knew he's from the village; he can find him later on and tail him or something
Yoochun ran, his heart was still beating fast, he was running like never before, his gut told him it was bad, something really bad and he had already an idea of what it would be
Yoochun fell a lot of times already, it was dark now and he was unable to see his steps and kept tripping over things in the dark. Still, he made it and rushed out of the bamboo trees to the village to see all the villagers gathered a short distance from him, yoochun rushed to them
Reaching the crowed yoochun pushed his way into the front row and widened his eyes in shock; it was the old man, the one who talked to yoochun a while before and told him about the forest, only now he was killed, his body was hung on one bamboo tree and his blood was still dripping onto the ground
'Take him down!!'
Yoochun heard someone yell, between the sobs and the frightened yells he saw two men trying to reach for the body
'STOP!! NO ONE TOUCHES ANYTHING!!' yoochun yelled and rushed in front of everyone
'You have no say in this!' a man yelled at yoochun, trying to reach for the body
Yoochun pointed his gun at the man:' step back and don't touch it!' he yelled again
Some few people yelled again seeing the gun, yoochun took out his badge and flashed it in front of everyone
'I'M DETECTIVE PARK YOOCHUN FROM SEOUL!! I WAS SENT HERE BECAUSE WE GOT A LEAD THAT THE MURDERER IS BACK AND AT ACTION, NO ONE LEAVES THE VILLAGE OR THEIR HOUSE BEFORE I TALK TO THEM, NO ONE TOUCHES THE VICTIM OR ANYTHING OF HIS STUFF!!!' yoochun yelled as loud as he could
'You're a detective?' yunho blinked, obviously shocked
'A brilliant one, too' yoochun added, a little bit childishly
As everyone stayed frozen in their places yoochun reached to the body, by touching it with his two fingers he knew the man was killed around an hour ago, it was still warm and it wasn't tensed, the cause of death was obviously the perfect half circle slash on his chest which was still bleeding. The man was looking in front of him with a horror filled look that now became hollow
Turning to look at jaejoong yoochun hissed:' go to the inn and into my room, there's a black box there, bring it to me'
Jaejoong didn't dare to move, too scared to move his legs
'I'll go' yunho volunteered seeing how scared jaejoong was, he ran to the inn and came back in less than ten minute
Yoochun opened his bag and began using his equipment to gather evidences from the body
'One slash… a clean job like before, but the blade wasn't as sharp this time…it left marks around the wound' yoochun mumbled to himself as he examined the body
Finally, yoochun looked at old, bloody rope which was used to tie the man to the tree and untied it, the man slid down a few inches before yoochun held him still
'Help me lay him down' he turned to yunho ' but wear some gloves first'
Yunho nodded. Obviously, this wasn't the best time to argue with the man or object to it, yunho just held the legs while yoochun held the head and they laid the man down gently
'C…can you close his eyes?' jaejoong whispered, half sobbing actually
Yoochun reached his hand and softly he closed the man's eyes, looking at yunho he asked:' who found the body?'
'I…I was with jaejoong in the inn… we heard the scream and rushed out, we met changmin and kibum on the way' yunho shook his head, he didn't even think of that yet, all he could think about was the dead man in front of him!
Yoochun frowned, he looked at yunho and at jaejoong, they weren't the killers, he was sure of that because the killer trashed his car and they were with him at that time, they were together. So, there is no way any of them is the killer
'Listen to me, I need you to help find a place we can work at, help jaejoong and find a place in the inn if possible, I need you to help me in this since we have no way of connection to out of the village'
'H…how do you know I'm not the killer?' yunho frowned
'You and jaejoong were with me when the killer trashed my car, your finger prints didn't match his nor did jaejoong's. I can trust you two' yoochun spoke while working, he was slowly taking off the upper piece of the hanbok and examining the wound
'Look around, take the notebook and pen and write down who's not here, who's looking weird, write down everything you see and feel' yoochun spoke while working, he must see if there was anything on the wound that could help him identify the murder weapon or anything
Yunho nodded and began writing down, jaejoong glued himself to his friend as kibum cried and sobbed in changmin's hands, not daring to even look at the dead old man, not daring to think about the possibility that the one who killed his parents is back and is killing again…
