Summary: Yoochun looked at the boy
Yoochun looked at the boy; he waited for him to talk. It didn't take long, and Sungmin was already talking again, in a whisper:' he… he used to love me so much when I was a baby… then I grew older and he began to change, he said I look nothing like him, that I looked so much like him, like the jerk who should have died a long time before he did, a long time before he even thought of touching her…
I didn't understand anything, I thought he went crazy, but, he didn't… he began to hit me and abuse me, he began getting drunk and… and he began saying things, things he shouldn't have said'
'Things?' yoochun cracked an eyebrow
'Things…things about my father… his friend, the one whom he killed in the army while on the battle field… he even injured himself so he would be sent back home… he wanted my mother, he wanted her to himself even thought he was married already' Sungmin spoke, bitterness dripping from his words
'The next day he didn't remember anything, I knew it was dangerous to tell anyone, he was an adult and what seemed to be a war hero in the village, it was my word against his… still, I asked some people, trying to know who my parents really were… my mother… they said she ran away on the night of her wedding, I… I don't believe so; I know he did something to her… I just…'
'He did, he kidnapped her, raped her and killed her. Her body is in the mill'
Sungmin widened his eyes; apparently he didn't know this fact, yoochun thought
'I… I always knew there was something about the mill… I thought it was… the, the other lady… I thought the body was of the woman who was killed around that time too, the miller's daughter, it made sense like that… I only went there once… it was disgusting and I never went back into the place' Sungmin began to shiver, seeing the body of his own mother like this was defiantly not a good sight
'I knew where my father's grave was… I kept going there to visit it; I wanted to make amends to his soul… I just…' he cried some more
'But why did you send me that letter? Saying it began again when it hadn't begun yet?'
'I knew he was planning to kill someone else… he was getting weird again… hitting me all the time and saying payback is near… I was afraid; I waited till the woman from the forest came, she had a newspaper with her and they had talked about you, saying you're a genius who could solve any murder and all that… I had to make you come, I snuck into her truck when she left to the city and hitched my way to the capital. I made sure the letter reached your office and came back here…'
'And what did he do when he found you were absent for more than a day?'
'He was so furious, he didn't know I knew about him, but he was so angry he hit me so hard, he broke two of my ribs, he always hit me anywhere but on the face…saying others would notice… he even hurt his shoulder while doing so… I was trying to escape into another room but he came after me, he was drunk and could barely walk that he fell down hitting the closet, in fell right on his shoulder and the bone broke… he couldn't heal right because he didn't go to anyone… he didn't want to explain how the accident happened…'
'That's why he changed his style of killing' yoochun mumbled
'And what made you believe he's the killer?'
'He always got out on the nights of the murders… I began making charts of it, he was always absent when someone was killed. He was already used to killing. He didn't hesitate to kill anyone else for the simplest reasons…'
'Then why didn't he kill you?'
'He said that I remind him of her… I'm the only thing left of her… he couldn't kill me because he regretted killing her, the only one whom he ever regretted killing…'
'But this still doesn't answer everything, like why he began killing anyone who entered the forest? Why he killed kibum's parents but not kibum himself? Why he killed junsu's mother but not junsu himself? He had already killed babies before, so why not again?'
'He… he never killed if he wasn't paid to do it…' Sungmin whispered and yoochun widened his eyes, this was what he needed, the missing piece, the fact that connected everything, someone was paying him to kill, to do his dirty work… someone rich of course
'Someone?' yoochun asked, he needed to know more
'I don't know who it was… I just know he kept coming back home with a few golden pieces when he went out, at first I thought he was stealing them, but no one around here was rich enough for him to steal from, no one but the Jungs… they are the richest people here and so…'
'So you suspected Jung Yunho to be the one behind everything?'
Sungmin nodded
'Why didn't you talk to me when I came? Why didn't you come to me? You choose to stay in the shadows and watch me while I investigated and looked around'
'I knew you were staying in the inn… he was too, and soon he was your right arm, helping you in everything. I didn't know if you were to trust my words if I told you I suspected him and my so called father to be the killers'
'I believe my own mother is capable of killing… it comes with the job' yoochun stated dully and Sungmin blinked at him
'So… yunho would pay the man to kill for him… nah, I don't buy it' yoochun frowned
'Yunho was too young when the murders began, it would be someone who was an adult back then and is an elder now' yoochun thought
Sungmin went quiet, he could see yoochun thinking and he didn't want to interrupt
'Someone rich who wanted a lot of people killed…' yoochun frowned
'Is he still bringing golden stuff home?'
Sungmin shook his head
'No, I thought he wouldn't' yoochun nodded, a frown on his face
'What is it you're thinking about?'
'The one big catch' yoochun thought ' he stopped taking orders from the boss, that's why he stopped bringing gold back home'
'Could it be that the hunter became the hunted?' yoochun mumbled to himself. He was organizing everything in his mind, yoochun frowned looking around, beside the identity of the boss, the mastermind behind everything, there was one more to know, the killer was the tool, someone wanted to hide something in the forest so everyone who went inside was killed… what could it be that they wanted to hide?
Looking at the inn yoochun wondered, should he go into the inn or go into the forest? Go and face the killer, the tool, or go and bust the mastermind, in the forest?
Looking at the inn yoochun made up his +mind; this is how it should be
'Go to Choi shi's place, you'll find yunho and the rest there. Tell them I sent you and stay with them, don't go anywhere until I come back' yoochun ordered as he made sure he got enough bullets with him
Seeing as Sungmin went yoochun entered the inn and locked the door, the windows were already all locked so there was no way out now but for the tunnel, it's supposed to be in the first floor, so he would be able to see everything
There weren't a sound, all were quiet. But, yoochun knew better, he could smell it in the air, call it crazy but he could smell the blood in the air and it scared the hell out of him, it scared him more than what he was willing to admit to himself
With each step he took yoochun heard the wood of the floor crack softly, all his senses were one thousand present sharp now. This was unlike every attack he ever did, this time it wasn't that he didn't only have backup but he also didn't have enough bullets, there were tunnels he didn't know about and the killer wasn't just anyone, he was a trained soldier who could attack from far away
With each step he took yoochun felt the eyes on him; it was just as his test when he was training for taekwondo. His master was the best and he always said that you must not depend on one sense more than the other, when you can’t use your eyes use your ears, when you can't use your ears use your skin, feel the air shift around you to know how the opponent is going to attack. Use your mind and heart to
Yoochun was trained well, heck he was the best student in the taekwondo classes, he was lazy and weird and somehow perverted but he was one of the best taekwondo masters there were in Korea, for sure.
Following his mater's instructions yoochun closed his eyes, they were useless anyway. He was unable to see the killer who was hiding somewhere in the big inn. Instead he used his ears and skin to feel everything around him
He already knew the inn pretty well; he knew his way around very well, he could walk with his eyes closed. All he needed now was to find the killer
Walking so softly that even he couldn't hear his own footsteps yoochun began to walk, the first floor, he needed to secure that
There was nothing there; everything was normal, nothing in any room… so how could the killer slip inside without anyone seeing him?
Yoochun looked around; he was in the lobby again. Looking around he thought about the fire place, the killer could have thought he's Santa and climbed down the fireplace, but then he shook his head, the fire was always on, it was on right now, there's no way he could have climbed down the fireplace with the fire on… beside, if he climbed down the fireplace then his close should be filled with ashes and that would leave traces around, something he didn't find anywhere in the inn. That took the fireplace out of the very short and very limited list of suspected places for the tunnel entrance
There was a sound, the sir shifted around him; yoochun could feel it as if it was in the wall itself
Yoochun closed his eyes again, his sight wasn't important now, now as much as his hearing. He walked, he felt his was around and walked, a frown soon spread on yoochun's lips… if he kept walking that way then the only place he was going to reach was…
