Paranormal Investigators (Fanfic)

Chapter 46: Evidence (case closed) Finale

            Jaejoong reached out for Yunho to give him the translating device and asked in surprise. "You're Tedric Tang? How did you die?"

I was stabbed and buried alive by Donald Tang.

Jaejoong glanced over at Changmin in confusion. "I can't understand him."

"Unfortunately, the device isn't able to pick up what's spoken by spirits so it won't be able to translate it. I'm also a medium. He can use my body to speak."

"No. We need you for the technical stuff. I'll do it." Junsu offered.

Yoochun placed his hand on Junsu's shoulder and gave it a squeeze. "Are you sure? You just experienced a premonition."

Junsu looked straight into his eyes with confidence and smiled. "I'm sure."

His Junho side really does make him a braver person. Yoochun smiled and gave him a nod of the head. "All right."

"I'm ready." Junsu removed the beaded bracelet from his wrist and handed it to Yoochun.

Jason wasn't sure where to look, since he couldn't see Tedric. He pretty much repeated what Yunho was telling him through the translating device and explained it with better Mandarin. The device was after all just a device and might not be grammatically correct.

Tedric's spirit did as he was asked to and took over Junsu's body. Once he had control, Yunho aimed the device at him and he started talking. "Donald Tang stabbed me and buried me alive."

"Donald Tang is still alive?" Yunho queried.

"Yes."

"Why?"

"Because...my biological parents were the ones who kidnapped him. His family, my adoptive parents were well-off. My parents noticed that I resembled Donald, so they came up with a plan for me to replace him. I was taught to act like him and obtained his love for cars. His parents were rich, so if they adopted me, I would grow up inheriting their money. This way, my biological parents could live off of my inheritance. Unfortunately for them, my adoptive parents saved money in a fund for me, so I couldn't touch any of it until I was 21 years old. I only managed to give them the money I was given on special occasions."

It was still a bit strange for Simon to see Tedric speaking fluent Mandarin through Junsu's lips.

"What happened to Donald after you learned all his habits?"

"My parents abducted him from an amusement park by luring him with cotton candy while his parents weren't looking. I can't wrap my head around it. How could my parents do such things?"

"You are not to blame for your parents' actions. You were just a kid back then. Where did your parents take Donald?"

"Donald said that my parents tried to sell him to a human trafficker, so he attempted to run away. It was raining hard that day, and he ended up slipping off the side of the cliff. They assumed that he had died, so they didn't bother searching for him. He was found by some gang members and taken in as one of theirs. They left the country shortly after. Donald held this grudge and plotted a revenge when he was old enough to wander freely on his own."

"Are your parents alive?"

"My father was killed by one of the debt collectors and my mother died from a drug overdose." Tedric paused for a moment before proceeding. "My adoptive parents were...are wonderful parents. If I had a choice, I wished that they were my biological parents. They loved me like I was their own. All my biological parents ever wanted was for me to steal for them. They didn't care about me at all."
