When a snail falls in love | Liskook

Chapter 27

The sunset shone over Lin Shan Mountain, which was as quiet as a painting

This place was in the suburban area of city Lin, a low and ordinary mountain in the South, full of mountains and rivers. This place hadn't been developed for tourism. If it weren't for the murder, even a local like Lisa wouldn't know of the luxury villa that existed on the hillside here.

When Jungkook and Lisa arrived, there were several local police officers at the scene. The city police squad was still on their way here.

A white pebble path led straight up to the villa within the dense forest. The huge villa occupied a large area and was surrounded by high walls and huge iron gates.

A local police officer reported: "The villa's security system has been entirely destroyed, and the iron gates weren't closed."

Jungkook nodded and lead Lisa inside.

Lisa had been very quiet on the way here. Lisa's brain had quickly recalled all the possible information and leads associated with Jisoo. However, she felt as if she was suffocating. Whenever Jisoo's gorgeous face flashed through her mind, that suffocating feeling became stronger and heavier. She became quieter than before.

Jungkook did not notice Lisa's mood. As his habit, he lit up a cigarette and smoked quietly in the car.

Over the years, whenever he heard of a murder, cold air would enter his heart for a short period and quickly dissipate. After that, he still calmly, coldly, and sharply, observed every blood-dripping corpse.

A deep brown, coffee-colored gate opened, the smell of blood mixed with a rotting odor filled the air. Through the long corridors, Lisa could see the already dried blood on the white carpet under her foot, like countless small streams leading to the corpse which was lying next to the sofa in the living room.

Even though Lisa had seen corpses before in the police academy, Lisa couldn't help but be shocked for a second, seeing Jisoo like this. It was as if the world around her was standing still, leaving only Jisoo's pale, bare, and tragic body.

On her arms, thighs, and abdomen, a total of five knives. They were clean and decisive stab wounds as if the killer/ they had wanted to turn her into a pile of blood. Only the abdomen wound was messy, with the blood and flesh indistinctly mixed, and multiple cuts up and across the flesh. There was a long stab wound on her left chest, the dried blood making the wound look like a horrifying blooming flower.

Next to Jisoo's right leg, there was a white coat, half-soaked with blood.

"Has anyone touched the body?" Jungkook's calm voice spoke, bringing Lisa back to the present instantly.

"Yes, it's this young man, he found the body." A policeman standing next to Jungkook replied.

Lisa and Jungkook glanced at the direction the policeman's finger pointed to. A young man was sitting down, leaning onthe white wall. Since they had entered the villa, the young man had been sitting there with both arms wrapped around his head, motionless.

Lisa was stunned: "Jaehyun?"

The young man quickly raised his head to look at Lisa. In just just in one night, this man's handsome face has become restless, and his eyes were bloodshot: " Lisa......"

"He was the one who called the police." The policeman explained.

Jaehyun panicked as Lisa and Jungkook came closer. Only now did he realize that his body was stiff and that it was difficult to move.

"Mr. Ye, please tell us everything you know." Jungkook said.

Jaehyun nodded, his eyes stopping on Lisa's face. Lisa's dark, clear eyes seemed to have flashed with sympathy for a moment. His heart trembled and he muttered: "Lisa, Jisoo is dead... she died, she isn't here anymore."

Lisa squatted down in front of Jaehyun. She looked straight at him and clearly said word by word: "I know you're sad. Calm down and tell us everything that you know."

This cool, calm voice of Lisa's, as if it was filled with a stable force, soothed Jaehyun's pained heart. Faced with the death of a loved one,

Jaehyun had never had such a strong desire to hold Lisa in his arms, craving that cold, soft scent of hers, like he did at that moment. He silently clenched his fists and took a phone out of his trouser pocket: "I received an SMS from her."

Lisa took the phone and was shocked after reading the SMS. Then, she quickly handed it to Jungkook.

"I'm at 3 Ave XXX Street Lin Shan Mountain, save me." The sender was Jisoo at 22:17 yesterday night.

"What time did you get here?" Jungkook asked Lisa turned to look at Jaehyun.

This question had previously been asked by the local police, but Jaehyun still trembled while answering it: "I was in deep sleep, so I saw the SMS at 5 AM in the morning." Jaehyun, he was undoubtedly feeling guilty about it,because if he had seen the SMS sooner, then Jisoo could have been saved.

"No one would have been able to predict that this would happen." Jungkook calmly said: "Don't blame yourself.

Jaehyun nodded, smiling bitterly.

Lisa asked: "Is this Jisoo's house?"

Jaehyun shook his head: "I'm not sure, she owns a lot of properties."

Jaehyun recounted everything that happened this morning. After seeing the SMS at around 5 AM, he immediately drove here. When he got here, everything in the villa was as it was now. The only difference was that the white coat had covered Jisoo's body. To determine whether Jisoo was dead or alive, he did not think further, lifting the white coat from her body, and saw the knife wounds on her body.

"Didn't you catch the blade criminal from the last incident?" Jaehyun's eyes were bloodshot, as he asked, "He has accomplices, right? Because she survived, that's why they killed her?"

Jungkook and Lisa ignored his questions. Even though with regards to the bladecase, the police did not disclose it to the public, but they had informed the victims about the result of the case. Jisoo had definitely told him about it.

Today, the case had reappeared once again. The criminal had killed a woman who was a victim.

When Taehyung arrived, Jungkook directed him to escort Jaehyun back to the station. His responsibility was comfort Jaehyun and take his statement in detail. While they were leaving, Lisa chased after them and asked: "Back then, how was the white coat covered on Jisoo's body?"

Jaehyun's eyebrow furrows, "What do you mean?"

"Was it messily or very neatly?" Lisa asked back

Jaehyun recalled for a moment, then replied: "Not messily, it seemed that someone had placed it on her, leaving only her arms and legs visible. That was why, I lifted it up to see how she was."

Lisa nodded: "I see."
