Doctor Demon

Chapter 320 – The Cleaver (7)

Jina, Woohee, Chanmi and Dahoon arrived at the crime scene which was already swarming with cops. The scene this time was at a studio where several artists were shooting for a movie. 

"Victim's name is Mu Chansub," Woohee was saying. "A supermodel who was shooting for a show in the studio."

"Mu Chansub?" Jina frowned. She heard of the name. He was a very famous personality in the modeling industry but was also suffering from a severe bout of depression for the past few years. They flash their badges to the officers and enter the crime scene. To Jina's chagrin, there were too many people in the studio.

"Clear out the crowd!" She snapped at the cops. "What the hell are they doing here?"

"We tried but these fans won't listen!" One of the cops claimed. He was right. Many of them were fans who had turned up after hearing the news of Chansub's demise and were trying to break into the scene.

"We want to see our darling!" One fan cried.

"How can he die?" Another fan sobbed.

"I loved him!"

Jina had enough of this. The fans were mostly teenagers because all of them were in their uniforms.

"If you all don't leave, I'll be calling your schools and your guardians can pick you up!" She threatened. "Let them punish you for bunking school!"

"You rotten cop!" A fan yelled. "How dare you-"

Several guards came running and pushed the crowd away. Ilhoon arrived at the scene and to Jina's surprise, Minyoon was also there. He was carrying Miyoo in his arms who was only curiously watching the scene around her. Upon seeing her sister, her eyes lit up.

"Sis!" She waved at Jina. "Miyoo is on TV!"

"What the hell are you doing here?" Jina hissed at her brother. "And why did you bring her?"

"I was here for a shooting!" Minyoon claimed. "It's for a brother-sister bonding show so I brought her with me."

"But this place is not safe for a kid!" Jina argued. "What if she sees the corpse?"

"Sis, you're talking to a kid who saw a half burnt naked poltergeist!" Minyoon pointed out. "And also befriended a high level demon. I think we're past all that by now."

Jina boxed her brother's ear, making him yelp in pain. Miyoo giggled.

"Minmin punished!" she cheered.

"Don't let her see anything dangerous otherwise I'll tell mom and dad to take you back with them and put an end to your idol career!"

"What? I'm innocent! I didn't know there'll be a murder! Besides, we were at another studio. We just saw the commotion and came here."

Jina let go of him. Minyoon pouted as he rubbed his ear.

"How come you never bring me?" She asked. "I'm your sister too!"

"What can I say?" Minyoon shrugged. "Cute kids have an appeal and make more money. Bringing Miyoo increased the ratings of the show and the producer offered to put her on another guest segment. He's even gonna pay her double the amount she made today."

"Money!" Miyoo exclaimed. "Miyoo made dollars!"

Jina scowled at her siblings before turning to Ilhoon who looked a little confused by their exchange.

"You two know each other?" he asked.

"We are siblings," Jina sighed.

"Oh, so you're Hwang Jina?" Ilhoon frowned. "The heiress to the Hwang empire? It's odd that you're a cop."

"I'd rather be a cop than take over a business empire," Jina said warily. "Let my brothers earn money. I'm fine chasing the bad guys."

Ilhoon was still trying to comprehend why someone would leave behind a billion dollar company in order to chase filthy street criminals but he did not make any further comments.

"Tell us about the crime," Jina demanded. "What was Mu Chansub up to?"

"Chansub has been suffering from depression for years," Ilhoon stated. "But he was recovering bit by bit. To find him murdered like this is truly tragic."

His voice cracks a little. Ilhoon got along well with Chansub and was heavily interested to see his friend recover. He cleared his throat to continue.

"The one who found him is a janitor," he went on. "His face was cleaved as if by a sharp object. I…I saw the body and couldn't believe my eyes. It's hard for me to see it again…"

"What about the CCTV cameras?" Jina asked.

"The cameras around Chansub's room are broken," Ilhoon gritted. This was strange. Why were CCTV cameras breaking down so often?

"Anyways," he said. "I'll go and check up on my staff. They're pretty shaken."

With that, he quickly walked away. 

Jina sighed, feeling frustrated. The presence of demons hampered the cameras which was a hindrance. 

"Boss!" 

She turned around to find Jiwoon running towards her. To her surprise, Hobin was behind her.

"You two came together?" Jina asked in astonishment. As far as she knew, Jiwoon and Hobin were not that close.

"Yes," Jiwoon admitted. "I had some work with Doctor Ohm."

"Hobin!" Miyoo exclaimed. "Miyoo made money!"

"Good," Hobin nodded. "You can finally pay me for the free speech therapy sessions you've been leeching from me."

Miyoo thought for a while. "No," she simply said.

"Tch!"

"I'll go and drop Miyoo home," Minyoon said. 

"Don't tell mom and dad about this," Jina warned. "They'll worry too much."

"Oh, I can distract dad by telling him that Miyoo made money," Minyoon smirked. "That'll keep his mind off any corpses or demons!"

"Copsies!" Miyoo pouted. They bid goodbye to the others and left the premises. 

"I'll go and check up on the corpse," Hobin said. Jina nodded and waited for him to leave before turning to Jiwoon.

"What did you talk to Hobin about?" She asked. "Is it something serious?"

Jiwoon took a deep breath and replied, "I just wanted to tell him not to worry Doctor Kang too much. He's really worried about this Cleaver case and also afraid that Doctor Ohm will become too obsessed with it. Doctor Kang also told me about Doctor Ohm's powers. I don't want him to worry too much so I went to talk to Doctor Ohm and express my concerns. That's it."

Jina blinked at her best friend wondering whether to educate the two clueless people or not.

"Jiwoon," she began. "I have a small piece of advice for you."

"W-what is it, boss?"

"Suck up your hesitation and date Siwan already!" Jina snickered. "Seeing you two idiots beating around the bush only makes the situation funnier than it already is!"

Jiwoon pouts a little, trying to understand why the situation was funny. It was not like Siwan had any special feelings for her and she was content loving him from afar.

"Let's go, you love sick puppy!" Jina laughed and pulled her friend with her to the crime scene.
