Chapter 7
A man nervously stood infront of and house door in the middle of the night and said to himself "Come on all you gotta do is finish the job and you'll be rich." his breath was shaking. He took out a set of keys that shined between the black fingers that were covered with black glove, then he looked around to see if there was anyone nervously, his hands raised to fix his black cap that covered his head. Finally he took a deep breath behind the black mask he was wearing. He put the key into the keyhole and slowly entered the house. He then slipped a kitchen knife which he had hidden underneath his jacket. Slowly walked upstairs to another door in the house it was dark but moon light passing thought the window gave enough light for him to see an old man sleeping on bed. He slowly made his way to the man slipped one hand to muffle the sleeping old man suddenly the sleepy eyes opened but before the old man could react the knife stabbed his heart leaving his cry muffled under the hand. The victim grabbed the attacker's jacket near the arms but was stabbed couple of more times until the hands slipped and fell on the bed.

Jung-Moon entered the house with a bag full of clothes he had brought from the church, when his phone rang. He took it out and looked at the number it was a number he had been waiting for a while now. He walked the stairs as pressed the phone icon and slide it to take the call. "Why are you picking up the phone so late." Came an irritated voice of a male from the other side of the phone.
"Get down to business Detective Ji I don't have time." Jung-Moon cut him. After Jung-Moon left prison three years ago he had no job no and he was penniless. However it seemed he was quiet famous among the police department since he had teamed up with Leader Go-Tak to solve cases. So one day a detective called him up for help in return he offered money Jung-Moon some money. After that a handful of them started calling him for his help, of course he couldn't say anything to anyone since it was illegal to investigate without a license, but he did tell Go-tak and the team who happily kept it a secret for him. "Bastard!" Detective Ji spat out. "Just cause I helped you get a few cases you think you-"
"First of all the reason you got promoted to a detective was because of the cases I solved for you second you still haven't paid me for my last case and the one whose helping is me. So unless you are here to pay don't call. I'm hanging up." said Jung-Moon dryly.
"Wait" Detective Ji finally gave in. "I'll pay. I'll pay for the last case and I need you to help me with a new case." Jung-Moon smirked. "Then I'll take advance for the new case as well." "What?" Detective Ji almost shouted. "Fine then I'm hanging up." said Jung-Moon. "Okay-Okay." he said. "Alright let's meet up send me the address." answered Jung-Moon. He pressed the icon on the phone screen to cut off the line by now he was infront of his room. He twisted the nob and entered then threw his bag on bed. His phone vibrated he turned on the screen to see a new message. He looked around then took out a container of talcum powder from his bag and spread it on the white floor of his room. Then he put the container on the table near the door closed it behind him and he left looking at the new message he had just received.

Yeon-Joo washed her hands after her first surgery for the day. It had lasted for 8 hours which was not easy for her. She was hungry she quickly got dressed then moved to the cafeteria. She took the tray full of food and sad down. She was about to poke her food with food with her chopstick when she remembered Jung-Moon patting her head that morning. His behavior was so confusing she thought he would hate her but he was nice to her instead. He even apologized to her. "You can call me Oppa as well if you want." Memories from last night flashed. She sat infront of her food blankly for a few seconds then it suddenly hit her No way he thinks of he as a little sister.She thought. This did not make her happy was she that unattractive that he would think that way about her.

Jung-Moon waited at an empty street with his hands in his jacket pocket, his back resting on the wall. Detective Ji walked to him looking around making sure no one followed him. It made him look so stupid as if he was some celebrity hiding from paparazzi but it was important since he was going to take Jung-Moon and civilian to investigate the crime scene. Then Detective Ji signaled him and Jung-Moon casually walked towards him.
The house had been sealed off with yellow tape all over the door warning not to enter was written on it with black letters. "It was a robbery and murder case" said Detective Ji. Jung-Moon looked at the door knob. There was sign of breaking in. The lead to the main hall that was attached to the living room that was left in a mess. there was a slight footprint on the floor everywhere, the design of the sole of the shoes was not clear, the shoes were worn out and they all came from one pair. Then he walked upstairs the footprint lead to the bedroom. Same prints came back out then down stairs,they appeared nowhere else on the floor. Jung-Moon entered the bedroom, the bed was covered in blood and a few drops on the floor "The victim's name was Park Joon Jae, age 52, recently on his way to get a divorce after cheating on his wife. The murder happened last night between 8-10 pm. Runs a popular restaurant few block away, despite his personal issue very good towards his staff. The last person to see him last night was one of his workers at the restaurant, Baek Sang hyun who was in charge of the storage last night. According to him victim left him the keys to make a list of ingredients that was delivered yesterday and came home at around 7 pm. The culprit was probably aware of his schedules and was planning to rob the victim and leave but he was home early so probably he got killed."
"Who reported to the police?"asked Jung-Moon.
"Same guy who saw the victim last time. The victim was very punctual for work always came before everyone. So witness called but no one received the call so he came home. rang the doorbell but there was no answer. He saw mess on the house through the window on the first floor so he called the police."
He made his way around the closet was wide open the safe that was inside the victim's closet was wide open with all the valuable missing and blood smeared all over it. The murdered opened the safe after the victim was killed. The victims mobile phone on the side box of the bed.
Jung-moon came back down stairs and looked around the living room again, Detective Ji watched him make his way. The trophy with the victims name were all on the floor including some show pieces as he made his way he saw the victims laptop on the floor.
"so what did you find?" asked Detective Ji who was holding a note pad in his hand to make sure he got everything Jung-Moon told him.
Jung-Moon lifted his hands "Payment first."
Detective Ji gaped "What?"
"I know you will walk out without paying again after the culprit is caught. So payment first." said Jung-Moon.
Detective Ji frowned but took out the money and gave it to him. "Here. It has both left over payment from the last case and the advance...SO?" He asked. Jung-Moon took the money and counted. He knew Detective was not someone to be trusted in the matter of money.
"The answer is pretty simple it's a murder disguised as a robbery..." stated Jung-Moon.
A/N: This is actually my first time writing a murder mystery and actually went through every thing i could find on murder mystery and robbery. I didn't' have much luck with it. I wasn't even sure if i could get this weeks chapter out. :(
Frankly speaking I was seriously scared to put in murder cases [fictional murder case nothing written here is real] since it might turn out sloppy.
One more thing that had been bothering me was what Yeon-Joo would look like after thinking pretty hard I decided she would be actress Kim Go-Eun but you are always free to make your own pick.
Finally Thank you very much for reading and I hope you enjoy it.
