What is this? (3)

* * *

Sujeong Lee’s eyes trembled slightly as she held the receiver to her ear.

“All right.”

After the call, she covered her face with her white hands.

Not even a minute had passed.

She got up from her seat and stretched out.

“It is a murder case.”

Team 1 head leaned against the chair and sighed.

“Dog perverts are real.”

It was the team leader who heard the contents of the letter from Sujeong Lee.

Choi Dong-cheol approached the team leader.

“Chief, we’ll go and get this.”

“The jurisdiction is different, the jurisdiction.”

“You got a letter from a tarantula. then we should go And it is said that the team is under the direct control of the Police Commissioner, but who will say what?”

“That’s right. It’s not time for me to contact the Commissioner directly. I’ll report it to the chief and come back. wait and see.”

Choi Dong-chul nodded, and before leaving, Team 1 approached Su-jeong Lee and smiled, showing her teeth.

“Hey, tarantula. Won’t you let go of your face?”

“Why is my expression?”

“It’s not your fault man. The incident didn’t happen because of you.”

After patting Lee Soo-jung on the shoulder a few times, the team leader went outside.

Dongchul Choi said.

“Because I have to close the case. Tarantula and Jongmin…”

Choi Dong-chul turned his head and looked at Shin-hyeok with a grin.

“My little brother, will you say you want to go even if you stop?”

Shin Hyuk smiled lightly and lowered his head slightly.

“I’m coming.”

“Okay, the three of us go together. Report to me from time to time. Even if there is a fussy guy, contact me. go fast Quickly.”

Shin Hyuk, Park Jong-min, and Lee Su-jeong did not hesitate to leave the strong team.

No, Choi Dong-chul called Lee Su-jeong, who was about to leave.

“Hey, Tarantula.”

“Yeah?”

Choi Dong-chul smiled softly.

I was trying to throw something similar to the team leader.

“no. Bye.”

Ichigo smiled and said as if nothing was wrong.

“Ai, I thought I was eating soju with meat after a long time, but I’m wrong. I’ll be back.”

“yes.”

After they left, Choi Dong-cheol looked around and fixed his eyes on Shin-hyeok’s empty seat.

He’s a really smart guy.

At that time, the team leader who had left came back.

“I left my cell phone. ·······? Where has everyone gone?”

“Where are you going? I went out.”

* * *

Park Jong-min was driving the car.

Lee Shin-hyeok, who was in the passenger seat, said he was driving, but he said he had to drive long distances.

That would be the case, because once you show your face to a reckless driver who gets into a fight for no reason while driving, the situation is quickly sorted out.

For those who said they had anger dysregulation, Park Jong-min’s face was a deadly drug.

According to Park Jong-min himself, you can roll down the car window and say that you are a detective, but before that, he lowered his tail and left.

Sujeong Lee, who was in the back seat, said.

“Shin Hyuk, how did you really want to congratulate me properly today?”

“Fine. It’s all thanks to the seniors, but I felt sorry that I was the only one specializing in it. I was going to shoot…”

“Don’t say that, you have to work hard to save money to buy a house. How much do you need?”

As the car entered the tunnel, the silhouette of Sujeong Lee was dimly reflected on the windshield.

Even though senior Lee Soo-jung was making a nonchalant expression, there was a shadow on her face like that black silhouette.

I’m just pretending to be fine.

I received a letter that seemed to have a crush on me, and someone died.

I couldn’t feel at ease.

As if proving that kind of heart, Lee Soo-jung said to Park Jong-min.

“Jongmin-ah, why are you crawling like a slug today? I can just step on it a little bit.”

“What are you talking about? I’m going fast while following the speed.”

I was able to reach my destination in two hours.

A dreary warehouse that must have been built a long time ago.

The color of the wood was faded and faded, and it was black and dull and saturated with moisture, so it seemed that even a ghost would come out.

There were many people gathered.

Police guarding the fleece line, onlookers, and even reporters.

Inside the warehouse, I saw a forensic team wearing a white dustproof suit.

Lee Soo-jeong approached first and showed her ID to the police.

As I walked through the police line and entered, a detective blocked the entrance to the warehouse.

The woman in front of me was a stunning beauty.

But I guess I didn’t like it.

“Are you guys?”

The detective who blocked Lee Soo-jeong received a call a while ago.

Other cops from Seoul will come.

Ichigo nodded lightly.

“Yeah. Thank you for your hard work. may I come in?”

“Yes, but… don’t you think this is a bit unfair? It’s a big case, but it’s not like picking out the details and eating them all.”

Lee Soo-jeong closed her eyes as if trying to stay calm and opened her mouth.

“Hey, does this case look like something that will pave the way for you now? Is the culprit looking like a sweet candy cane? So what does the victim look like? yes?”

“That’s not what I meant…”

Park Jong-min came closer to the detective.

“Let’s get out of the way.”

He asked Park Jong-min’s face.

“Are you a cop too?”

As if he didn’t like Park Jong-min, he raised his eyes and looked at him.

“Yes, but we don’t have time, so let’s go inside.”

The detective turned his head and spoke to his colleagues.

“Hey everyone, get out of here. Great people came from Seoul. You, the youngest, stay and report.”

Detectives began to look at Shin Hyuk, Park Jong-min, and Lee Su-jeong with awe.

However, it was ignored or ignored.

Before entering the warehouse, one of the forensic team held out a mask.

“What you wear will help.”

Park Jong-min received the mask first.

I’ve been through this before, so I acted quickly.

Shin Hyuk also entered the warehouse wearing a mask as if crossing the line.

click! click! click!

Between the forensic team collecting evidence here and there, a body was seen floating in the air with both wrists tied to chains.

Bloody shackles on both feet.

Park Jong-min reacted first, brushing his bald head.

“under···.”

No words came out.

Lee Soo-jeong stood there staring at the scene with her molars biting hard.

The hanging man’s back was miserable.

It was more than miserable.

Of the three, it was Shin Hyuk who moved first.

Shin Hyuk approached the victim without even breathing.

It’s terrifying to have the back part split apart at will, but it’s natural.

Originally, things by the hands of the guy who did this kind of thing are like this.

To enjoy a meal, you should think of it as the shape of the food decorated before putting it on the table to look good.

The back of the victim was reflected in Shin Hyuk’s bleak eyes.

Starting at the waist, the back leather was split open, and the lats, erector spinae, and shoulder blades were removed to expose the spine.

Without ending there, the spine and ribs were separated and spread out like wings.

Various fibers and blood vessels were holding the separated ribs, so they did not fall off in a precarious manner.

The guy didn’t leave the empty space between the spine and the ribs.

The lungs were taken out to the right and left, respectively, centering on the spine, and spread out as much as possible.

Just like making a bird’s wing.

‘Blood Eagle.’

However, the shape is messy, probably because it was difficult to imitate.

It was a Viking execution method that was active until the 11th century.

It was a ritual performed when plundering and executing the opponent’s head or the royal family.

It is one of the sacrificial rituals dedicated to Odin, the god of war.

In the literature, it is said to have survived even after making it this far, but it is anatomically impossible.

would have died en route.

Shin Hyuk looked down at the victim’s toes.

There are few pools of blood that have fallen under the feet.

However, there were space marks, feather patterns, drop connection marks, cumulative blood marks, rub marks, and buried blood marks everywhere.

Among them, the place where the overlapping bloodstains were the most severe was the front seat that was a little far away, which must have been dragged here.

There were quite a few bloodstains that had been wiped off.

Seeing blood clots (blood clots that have turned gelatinous due to the action of coagulation factors) scattered like tiny organs, his consciousness awoke in front of him.

Shin Hyuk walked closer to it and bent one knee to look down.

By-products of skin tissue, remnants of blood vessels as thin as earthworms, and fly spots and insect stains are also observed.

They all stayed within the wiped bloodstain.

In an instant, the situation at the time flowed like a video in Shin Hyuk’s head.

The naked man’s back is visible, hands crossed behind him.

My feet are also shackled and I can’t move.

The man wriggles as I press my back with my knee and draw a knife along the erector muscle.

‘uuu.’

The man struggled less, probably because he didn’t feel much pain.

Every time the tip of the knife stuck in the waist goes up, the bone gets caught and it moves as if it goes over a bumpy prevention jaw.

So, the place where the knife has passed through becomes irregularly messy.

‘Ugh!’

Suddenly, the man’s movements became violent, and I tightened my knees that were holding him down.

At that time, Shin Hyuk’s dilated pupils quietly narrowed.

With his knees straight, Shin Hyuk turned his gaze to the hanging man.

There are clear bloodstains on the left cheek, but there is a chafing mark on the right cheek.

Shin Hyuk turned and looked at the wall of the warehouse.

A signature that the killer would have written with the blood of the victim.

[8 343820194 819 1914 7471]

It was rough writing.

At that time, Soo-jung Lee came to Shin-hyeok’s side.

Her voice flowed calmly from the mask.

“I wrote down another damn password.”

But I could feel Shin Hyuk.

The various emotions, such as the unusual mixture of anger in the voice that flowed from her glottis.

Her words trembled as if falling to the floor again.

Lee Soo-jeong, staring at the numbers, said.

“What do you mean? I heard how to interpret it earlier, but I can’t remember because I’m stupid.”

“I dedicated it to her.”

“It’s for me…”

One side of her mask was stained red.

“Seniors. From the lips…”

While looking at the culprit’s signature, Sujeong Lee turned her body at an angle and looked at Shinhyeok.

And as if smiling, he made the corners of his eyes into half-moon shapes.

“I’m fine. The landlord here changed two months ago?”

Her words got faster and faster.

“The victim was 34-year-old Kim Do-hyun, who had a previous conviction and was involved in drugs, so he was wanted.”

Shinhyuk nodded slowly, and she spoke again.

“Resentment or circumstantial evidence… Whoa. We’ll have to wait for the inspection results to come out, but we have to wait for the results of the letter I received.”

Her eyes twitched slightly.

However, he quickly straightened his head and looked at Shin Hyuk again.

“Shin Hyuk…”

Shin Hyuk cut her off.

“Seniors.”

It was because he could have been caught up in his feelings for the culprit.

Guys like this, enjoy it, and gain self-esteem.

Shin Hyuk looked at the signature left by the monster and spoke again.

It was a very small voice.

It was because a small voice could draw the other person’s attention, and he didn’t even know that someone gathered here was a straw.

“The password was clear and uncomplicated. His thoughts were clear. He showed the message of helping seniors in a direct way. However, the MO (criminal method) in the field is not neat.”

Blood and work form spattered haphazardly around.

“Unlike the father-son murder case, the MO is significantly lower. Just like a person who is working for the first time, the site is full of blood. The process of dismembering the body also mimics the bloody eagle, but the appearance is very messy.”

Right before Soo-jeong Lee looked at her as if she meant what it meant, Shin-hyeok pointed to a number made of blood.

“Senior, could you look at that number again?”

When Sujeong Lee turned her head, Shinhyuk continued.

“As you may remember, the words of the letter to my senior were written in a very orderly manner according to the line spacing. As measured with a ruler, none of them were too big or too small. However, the signature engraved there is arbitrarily different in size and thickness. The nature and type of letters are different…”

Very different.

As Shin Hyuk continued to speak, his eyes became more quiet as he took a low stance, as if pursuing something.
