I happen to be famous. (3)

The floor was covered in blood, like the marks of an animal.

Including large splash patterns, spatter stains, drip trails, circular shaped stains, accompanying drops, etc.

The bloodstains were telling us that the culprit had a party here.

The bloody smell seeped into Shin Hyuk’s nostrils.

What’s more terrible.

The two men, who had become dead bodies, were sitting on chairs facing each other with the tape fixed on them.

His face and stomach could be seen from the front door, his lower abdomen was open as if it had been excavated, and inside it was a thin iron pipe fixed high in place of an organ.

It seemed that the head was fixed in the stomach so that it could stand upright.

Behind the thin pipe is a blood-stained spine.

“I’ll turn. Shit…”

Park Jong-min, who is familiar with the scene of the incident, did not even think about going in.

The forensic team also frowned and sighed.

The pupils of the new recruit in the forensic team, who moved hesitantly after receiving the instructions, opened their eyes.

“Jongmin, are you here?”

The forensic officer approached and pretended to know.

“Yeah. Long time no see, Captain.”

“Yes.”

Park Jong-min asked.

“Have you got anything out?”

“No, we just came. It just doesn’t seem like an idiot. I ran out of organs. I put a pipe on my stomach like a sculpture so I can hear my face. It’s the first time I’ve lived and lived like this.”

“Have you been identified?”

“Hey rich man. Jeong Ju-cheol, 59 years old, Jeong Dong-ho, 26 years old.”

The class president shifted his gaze to look at Shin Hyuk.

“who?”

“Hello, my name is Sergeant Lee Shin-hyeok.”

“newcomer?”

Park Jong-min answered.

“It’s a profile.”

“Profiler? Why is the profiler here? Are you a co-op? how do you know Are there any similar incidents? I didn’t hear.”

Park Jong-min shook his head.

“no. It happened.”

The forensic team leader who looked at Shin Hyuk for a moment nodded.

“Okay, go in and have a look.”

Park Jong-min was given two disposable masks by the forensic team because the smell of blood was so strong.

Then he held out his mask to Shin Hyuk and asked.

“Can you see? Are you okay?”

Park Jong-min said so, but it seemed like his stomach was rumbling.

“Yeah. Fine.”

“Just don’t touch it. Be careful not to step on bloodstains.”

“All right.”

The two of them put on masks and went into the living room.

The situation where the forensic team was taking pictures and videos seemed to have just arrived, as the forensic team leader said.

As Shin Hyuk approached the corpse, his eyes were gradually sinking.

It was the gaze when recognizing a person as a subject.

Park Jong-min said.

“The floor is slippery, so be careful…”

Quadang!

Moving on tiptoe, he threw his hands in the air and fell.

But I was startled and jumped up.

He quickly changed his expression to avoid showing his embarrassment to Shin Hyuk.

“The floor is very slippery.”

The class president shook his head and threw his words.

“Be careful before that. Because I just started filming.”

“ah···.”

Park Jong-min frowned as he looked down at the bloodstains on his clothes and the blood on his palms.

With Park Jong-min behind, Shin-hyeok approached Jeong Dong-ho, who was stripped naked and his stomach was empty.

One arm was full of Irezumi tattoos.

“Can I borrow a flashlight?”

At Shin Hyuk’s words, a forensic team approached and handed over a flashlight.

Click.

Shin-hyeok, bent on one knee, peered into his abdomen with a flashlight.

no diaphragm

The chest and lower parts, including the heart, lungs, liver, pancreas, large intestine, and small intestine, all disappeared.

Extraction is neat and not messy.

In the stomach, a pipe fixed from below dug into the esophagus and secured the head.

It felt like looking inside a pig’s body with all organs removed and the skin removed and hung on a hook.

The ribs were clearly visible inside.

“What, what are you doing!?”

Hearing Park Jong-min’s startled voice from behind, Shin-hyeok straightened his knees and stood up.

“I was looking at some tricks.”

The skin, fat, and muscle were cut into rounds to neatly open the abdomen.

Very sharp, but worse than a scalpel.

“How?”

“Yeah. Neat.”

Shin Hyuk looked at Jeong Dong Ho’s neck.

Right two Stabs.

Shin-hyeok looked closely at Dong-ho Jeong, who looked pale as if all the blood had drained from his face.

The blood dripping from his forehead wets his face.

Shin Hyuk went behind Jeong Dong Ho and examined his ears and neck.

It was the same.

When I saw that the bloodstains fell at a right angle without shaking, I shed blood at 360 degrees from the seat I was sitting at the time of the incident.

from the head

However, the skull was not captured with a large depression.

Shin Hyuk nodded slightly.

A cut in the scalp alone cannot cause this amount of bleeding.

“Seniors.”

Park Jong-min, who had been watching Hyuk carefully, replied with a flinch.

“uh?”

“It looks like the culprit opened the skull.”

Park Jong-min’s forehead wrinkled and his eyes widened.

“what?”

“The bleeding from the head is very even at 360 degrees.”

The cut is just invisible because it is covered by long hair.

“Really?”

“Yeah. It seems so.”

The eyes of the forensic team who heard Shin Hyuk’s story from a nearby place became dumbfounded.

Park Jong-min, frowning, turned around and asked the class president.

“Captain, is this man’s skull open?”

The class president approached as if to say something.

“What are you talking about? Why is the skull…”

A murmur escaped from the class president’s mouth as he looked closely at Jeong Dong-ho’s face.

“What the f*ck is this…”

The presiding officer gestured to the forensic team, who were holding cameras and hand cams.

“Come here quickly. Quickly!”

The class president grabbed the hair at the top of his head with his gloved hand.

And as soon as I applied a little force, the class president gritted his teeth.

I didn’t feel any resistance.

Soon, Jeong Dong-ho’s skull opened like a lid, with his brain dangling like saliva.

It had no brain and was stuffed with several bloody white chrysanthemums.

click! click! click!

“Are you a crazy bastard?”

“ah···.”

“Really…”

Everyone who was watching sighed.

It didn’t seem human.

Shin Hyuk was the only person without agitation.

In Shin Hyuk’s eyes, it was just a chrysanthemum in a box.

Because I was recognizing it as a subject, not a person.

While sighs and curses flowed from the mouths of everyone watching, Shin Hyuk observed the cross section of the skull.

The surface is smooth.

It’s not like a line saw.

For example an angle grinder.

The class president shouted loudly.

“Hey, this should never be leaked to reporters! Did you understand!?”

“Yeah!”

“Yes.”

Shin-hyeok turned around and approached Jung Ju-cheol, who was sitting there wearing a running shirt and boxer shorts this time.

He was lowering his head.

The right ear and neck were stained with blood, and a stab wound to the LLQ (lower left side where the small intestine and large intestine are located) was also observed.

Bloodstains flowed down the chair and accumulated on the floor (drip stain).

That’s not all.

Jeong Ju-cheol’s eyelids had been gouged out, and bloodshot eyeballs were exposed as the blood vessels had burst.

Shin Hyuk turned his head to the right and looked at the floor.

A cast-off pattern (blood from the weapon) stretches toward the wall.

The shape is a form of very small tadpoles approaching Jung Ju-cheol.

It was the trace of a stab in the side and the drawing of a knife.

However, bloodstains found when the head was hit with a blunt instrument (bloodstains with a larger radius than expected) were not observed.

The head did not take a hit here.

On the back side of Jeong Ju-cheol, there is a cessation cast-off pattern that looks like a drop of water falling vertically.

It is proof that the culprit who stabbed him in the stomach was standing behind Jeong Ju-cheol holding a knife.

The first space to be attacked in the head is not the living room.

“what are you doing?”

Park Jong-min was staring at Shin-hyeok as if he was dumbfounded.

Even the forensic team couldn’t hide their sighs and bewilderment, but Lee Shin-hyeok was the only one who looked around like a person in a museum.

No, it was like a person standing alone in a different world in the first place.

Shin-hyeok’s eyes, looking at this horrible and miserable situation like a person who has lost his emotions, made it feel like he was going to do something at any moment, so it felt creepy.

“Seniors.”

Park Jong-min replied in surprise.

“uh? why? Can you see something?”

Shin-hyeok turned his gaze to look down at his son, Jeong Dong-ho’s toes.

While the stop marks, breakaway marks, drop blood marks, etc. were randomly mixed, there was a square void under the toes.

The square box was put down on the floor to work, and the part was clean without bloodstains.

Shin Hyuk replied.

“He is a very methodical guy. This is the act of someone who has killed people with or without a criminal record.”

You must have been imagining the plan in your head for a long time.

And practiced.

I can’t find any accidental parts, and I don’t see any overkill.

Possessing the killing tool, he moved with a thorough calculation for the exact purpose.

“Serial murder?”

Shin Hyuk’s answer was quick.

“Yeah. He must be like that.”

Analyzing the bloodstains, the purpose is clear.

He subdued Jeong Dong-ho first and killed him, then immediately subdued his father Jeong Ju-cheol.

Jung Joo-cheol, who had lost his mind, was first tied to a chair, and Jeong Dong-ho, who died, was made to face his father so that he could see it.

He cut off Jeong Ju-cheol’s eyelids.

It would have stabbed him in the abdomen, induce him to slowly die, and show him the scene of taking out his son’s organs.

Even the appearance of cutting the skull.

No trace of defense could be found in the rich man’s appearance.

Shin-hyeok turned around and followed the wiped blood pattern that continued like a snake and moved to a small room.

Usually, killers who only aim at killing an unspecified number of people look for the smallest room to kill the weakest and easiest to control.

But this monster shrouded in fog is different.

He accurately recognized the opponent he had to defeat first as Jeong Dong-ho, who had a healthy body.

Upon entering the small room, Shin Hyuk’s gaze first reached the floor.

Bloodstains in the form of palms digging through the floor, and footprints on them.

Shin Hyuk raised his eyes and looked at the bed.

Saturation stain where the head would have been sleeping.

The projected blood that was pushed up to the wall next to it (blood that is ejected by pressure like an artery).

On the bed, he was hit twice in the neck and rolled to the floor.

Even in a state of drowsy knowing what was happening to him, the shock would have come right away.

Pass out within 30 seconds, then die.

He immediately goes to the master bedroom and subdues his father, Jung Joo-cheol, with a blunt weapon.

Shin Hyuk suddenly raised his head and stared at the window.

It seemed that a person’s dark face was being reflected outside.

In the form of a predator with a torn mouth, like the Joker.

It’s like he’s whispering mocking words in my ear.

If you can catch it, catch it somewhere.

Shin Hyuk’s eyes sank so deeply that he could not see the end of the pitch-black darkness.
