Prologue.
“…일주일에 두명이나 실종…” / “This is the second body this week…”
A small puff of smoke came releasing out of the chapped lips upon the detective’s mouth. Watching the smoke hit the outer layers from being under the umbrella, as it was obliterated by the never ending drops of rain, the detective dropped the cigarette and crushed it with the tip of his dulled black dress shoes. The sound of rain was slowly drowned by the restless policemen and autopsy’s gushy footsteps which were everywhere like a surround sound TV,
“이 시발놈, 잡아야 돼…” / “We have to stop this fucker…”
The victim was a young male, roughly in his early 20’s. The patterns of these attacks were yet unsure, but from the looks of it, the murderer only went for pretty young men. The very first victim was in his mid-20’s but was pretty enough to be a model, in fact, through the short time given from the first and the second murder, he was known at a night club as the “Flower DJ” due to his feminine looks. People of both genders were attracted to him, and yet, he had no lover.
“…첫 번째 시체랑 똑같을 수도 있어…꽃남, 싱글, 그리고 아마 어느 나이트 클럽에서 스타였을걸?” / “…Maybe this poor guy fits the profile as the first one…good looking, single, and possibly just another star in some underground club…”
The sight was gruesome; the body was mutilated multiple times by a small sharp edged weapon. From the first autopsy, they believed that the killer had used maybe just any ordinary paper cutting art knife. They had used it to carve upon the skin of the victim after they had maybe drugged him with most likely the common date rape pill, chloroform. The carvings were random, huge cuts across the back, and none in the front. The victims were left out naked, most likely after the carving was done. Then, the final blow which finally took the poor tortured soul was delivered by what it seemed to be a heavy blow to the head, which resulted in extreme blood loss.
Sadly, this sight was discovered by local elementary students who had the guts to ditch school for the day in order to hang around the Han River. One can know by now that these kids won’t pull such an act in the future from now on for their own good,
“…제기랄…” / “…I’m outta here…”
Turning his back towards the body, the detective planted his hand upon his shallow beard, stressed from the idea of wondering if this was going to happen again. Just thinking about it, made his grip upon his umbrella shake in anger. If this were to happen again, then when, and where will the killer strike next?
그 질문의 답은, 오직 살인자만 알 것… / Questions, which only the killer has the answer to…
“미쓰라! 벌써가냐?” / “Mithra! You going already?”
Hearing the voice of his friend and teacher, he couldn’t help but to put his hand down to his side, while doing so, he quickly regained the grip upon his hand to reframe himself from shaking. Looking towards the poncho dressed teacher of his, Mithra couldn’t help but to let out a chuckle,
“형, 지금 애같이 뭘 입고있는거야?” / “What the fuck are you wearing Hyung? You look like a kid.”
Taking a spin around to almost show off his poncho to his student, the male smiled and did a pose under the heavy rain,
“너무 편해~!!!! 이걸 어떡해 내가 안 입냐?” / “It’s so comfortable~!!!! How could I resist the temptation? I just had to wear it!”
They were barely three years apart, and his teacher, Daniel Armand Lee, or what he wanted to be called as ‘Tablo’, never seemed to act his age. Despite this fact, he was actually one of the smartest within the squad and was well-respected. Many junior detectives wished to work under him as his student, and yet he took only one under his wings.
“그런데 미쓰라, 기억해둬…이 사건에 이성을 잃지마, 알았지? 난 니가 니 감정에 휘말리지 않는다는 걸 믿기 때문에 널 받아드린거야.” / “But Mithra, remember…don’t lose your cool about this case, alright? I took you in because I believed that you wouldn’t let your emotion get the best of you.”
That’s right; the only student he took under was Mithra. They had never met until that one faithful day within the station. While the young bearded officer entered, covered in mud and blood; within his hand, he held onto a knocked out body of the murderer who was on the loose at the time. Tablo, from the first sight, knew back then and still knew what Mithra was capable of taking on with what the future had for him as a detective.
Hearing such encouraging words, the young detective couldn’t help but to scoff and lightly give a punch upon the other’s shoulder,
“고마워 형, 그 말 들으니까, 마음이 놓인다.” / “Thanks Hyung, I knew your words will shake me back into shape.”
Smiling brightly in the rain, Tablo just gave two light pat upon Mithra’s back and pointed behind him with weak grin upon his face,
“야 야, 너 동생 왔다. 화내기 전에 빨리 가.” / “Hey hey, your little brother’s here to greet ya. You shouldn’t keep the eager-mac-beaver waitin’.”
Looking over towards the police lines was his brother, Choi Seung Hyun. They were close since birth, they had the same interest, same likes, same dislikes, it was until recently when Mithra had officially taken his job as a detective that Seung Hyun began to distance himself from his beloved older brother. Supposedly he had gone out and gotten himself a lover, so him visiting like this, was just out of the ordinary from the recent relationships they had going on,
“…비에서 바보처럼 뭐하냐? 니 여친이 데이트 약속 안 지켰냐?” / “…What the fuck are you doing under the rain? Did your Lover call off your date or something?”
Through the rain and the muddy field, Mithra carefully made his way up the hill and towards his little brother. Ducking under the police tape, he approached his brother by offering his umbrella for share,
“승현아, 이렇게 비 맞으면 감기 걸린다. 니 얼굴이 벌써 귀신같다.” / “Seung Hyun-ah, you’re going to catch a cold like that. Look at you, your skin is white as snow.”
As he placed the umbrella over his brother’s head, he noticed how the younger male was ignoring his presence. His face white as snow, almost as though he had seen a ghost…
Following the other’s eyes, he noticed that Seung Hyun was staring onto to the dead body at the end of the hill. Giving out a grave sigh, Mithra tried to break the gaze in order to not corrupt his younger brother’s mind with such gruesome sight,
“야, 보지마, 봐도 좋을 거 하나 없어.” / “Hey, let’s go, this isn’t something you should see…”
Not moving an inch, Seung Hyun couldn’t help but to speak as though he had really seen a ghost.
“…형…내 남친…약속 지켰어…” / “…Hyung…my date…didn’t call off anything…he’s here…”
Surprised to hear such an unexpected confession, Mithra gave the other a weird gaze for a moment, was this his brother’s twisted way of telling him that he was homosexual? Yet, there were more to what his brother had to say,
“…그냥…” / “…he’s just…”
Slowly raising his hand he pointed at the dead body at the end of the hill,
“…저 밑에서…검시 받고 있어-…” / “…down there…getting an autopsy- …”
Slowly beginning to choke upon his own words, Seung Hyun turned and made his way for the nearest trash can, once reached he unloaded his breakfast and maybe even more from the sicken sight he had seen.
So maybe, there wasn’t a similar connection, exception of the two victims having a rather pretty face. Approaching his brother, Mithra couldn’t help but to pat his back in support.
승현아, 우리의 다른 점은…너의 마음은 아직 깨끗하단 거야… / Only one thing different between us Seung Hyun…is that you have an innocent heart…
Slowly moving his head away from the trashcan, through the heavy drops of rain, Seung Hyun couldn’t help but to fall down to his knees and cry for the death of his Lover. Holding the umbrella over his brother, Mithra watched as his brother’s cries and screams were drowned by the sound of the endless raindrops around them. He felt helpless, but this was family, how could one not show emotions? Slowly getting down upon his knees, he placed his arms around his younger brother’s head, not knowing what else to say but to promise,
“…이 짓을 한 시발놈…내가 꼭 잡을께…약속이야…” / “…I’ll catch the mother fucker who did this…I promise…”
Not being able to say much through the emotional pain and agony, Seung Hyun took a grip upon the other’s jacket and continued to cry his tears away. Such a sight, Mithra couldn’t help but to make sure he kept his words for the sake of his brother, and to end such an act before anyone else lost their life to this madman.
…진심이다…널 잡을꺼다, 시발새끼야… / ...I swear…I’ll catch you mother fucker…
