The next morning, Jina stopped by the precinct to meet with her team. All of them had gone out the previous day to collect information on Wonho. She knew he was dead but they still needed clues to his body's whereabouts.

They were already seated at the meeting room, ready to report their findings.

"So, what do we know about Ma Wonho?" she asked as soon as she entered.

"We went to his apartment," Jaebum reported. "And get this. He didn't go home for weeks."

"There were old newspapers and milk cartons at the front door," Woohee added. "We asked the neighbors and they haven't seen him either. He had no known relatives."

"But we did find his past records," Jaebum stated. "Guess what we found?"

"What?" Jina asked.

"He was from the same orphanage," Woohee said. "He had left only three years ago. His donor, a well known multinational, had given him a job after he left the orphanage because he was a bright student."

"What did you find out about him in the workplace?" Jina asked, turning to Jiwoon.

"He was a hard worker but no one had seen him for days," Jiwoon said. "They tried to reach out to him but no results. The HR had filed a missing complaint at the station nearest to them but the officers there did not take it seriously. We had to go and poke them into investigating."

"Which precinct is it?" Jina asked.

"The twenty fifth," Jiwoon replied.

Jina groaned in frustration. They were nowhere near to finding Wonho's corpse. 

Where could the killer have hidden it?

"I'll go to the orphanage today as well," she said. "I'll be undercover. By the way, the witness, Soobin, has recalled a detail. She told me that the woman who dumped the body had a black bat tattoo on her left wrist. It's the same tattoo from one of my brother's music videos. I'm guessing the killer is a fan. I requested him to hold a concert there. Maybe it'll lure the killer. Soobin will be there as well, pretending to be a trainee nurse. She'll help us to recognize the tattoo."

"That sounds like a good idea," Jiwoon nodded. "Maybe we can go under the pretext of being his security team? That'll help us keep an eye out for the killer."

"Good idea," Jina agreed. "But remember this. The Chief must not find out that the witness will be at the site. If he finds out, he'll interfere with the investigation. I already got the permission from the precinct's Captain so the Chief can't complain."

"Boss, we're loyal to you," Dahoon said. "The Chief can kiss our asses for all we care. Besides, he's on vacation."

Their dislike of Chief Taejoon was apparent. The man was just useless when it came to running the department and most of the officers followed Jina's lead anyway.

"Alright then!" she exclaimed. "Jaebum and Jiwoon will be part of the security team. The others will work with the twenty fifth precinct and try to find any whereabouts of Wonho."

"Yes boss!" all of them said in unison. Jiwoon and Jaebum followed their boss out while the rest got to work. 

"I'll drop you guys off at my brothers' place," Jina said. "I'm texting Yoonmin to help you out. He'll handle everything from their end. I'll be off to the hospital to pick up Doctor Demon and Soobin. Meet me at the orphanage in an hour."

Both Jiwoon and Jaebum winced. They were not particularly happy to work with the crazy doctor but they had little choice. Jina bid them goodbye and got into her car. Revving up the engine, she drove off towards the hospital where Siwan, Soobin and Hobin were waiting for her.

….

"This is it," Jina said when she pulled up in front of the orphanage an hour later. "The twins will be here with their team in a while."

"Let's go in and set everything up," Hobin said. Siwan was parked a few blocks away                        as per the plan. Soobin, who sat in the backseat, was typing something on her phone.

"What are you doing?" Jina frowned.

"Sis, if the killer is a fan of Minyoon, then she must be on some forum or fansite," Soobin stated. "I mean, she was crazy enough to get a tattoo, right? Then she must be a member of a fansite. So I'm looking through the fan profiles to see if any of them posted the photo of the tattoo."

"Be careful," Jina warned. "Don't tell the fans that Minyoon is performing here. The last thing we need is a fan mob."

"I understand," Soobin said. "Which is why I spread a false rumor that Minyoon is performing at Town D. It'll keep most fans away from here."

"Smart girl," Hobin nodded. "You'd make an excellent psychiatrist someday."

"No one understands fan mentality better than me!" Soobin said with pride. "But please don't tell Minyoon about this! I don't want other fans to find out that I'm his biggest fan! They're already up in arms against me for buying his limited edition t-shirt."

Jina shook her head in dismay. How her brothers managed to hoodwink so many girls, she would never know.

"Anyways," she said. "You know how to take a pulse?"

"Doctor Hobin taught me!" Soobin said. "I can use the pulse machine now."

"Good," Hobin muttered. "Let's go."

They entered the orphanage where the matron welcomed them.

"Where's the owner?" Jina asked. "Mr. Namgoong, right?"

"He's on a business trip today," Minji informed them. "But his son and daughter-in-law will be coming today. They'll be helping out at the orphanage today."

"Son and daughter-in-law?" Hobin frowned. 

"Yes," Minji replied. "They live with the owner but are mostly involved in their own business. They have a boutique shop uptown."

Jina and Hobin glanced at each other while Soobin merely nodded. Uptown? All of them wondered.

They did not say anything but followed the matron. As soon as they were about to enter the premises, a large trailer bus stopped in front of the gates. A group of people came out of it. One of them rushed to the passenger side and opened the door.

Minyoon came out of the car wearing a brown leather jacket with a mickey mouse printed t-shirt. He had dyed his hair bright pink and carried a guitar on his back. Soobin watched him dreamily as he strutted like a king, walking towards them.

Yoonmin followed him closely, wearing a cap over his head, trying to keep a low profile. But he commanded an intimidating aura as well, his cool image oozing out. His secretary, Namgi followed him closely while Jiwoon and Jaebum were walking with Minyoon, acting as his bodyguards. They were wearing black suits and had earpieces with them, making them look more menacing.

"Is that the famous idol?" Jina asked the Matron.

"Yes, Doctor Belle," the Matron replied. "They called us yesterday and offered to do a free show at our orphanage! Isn't that amazing?"

"Indeed," Hobin agreed. The twins' crew were instructed not to interact with Jina and Hobin under any circumstances so they ignored them. 

"So," Minyoon told the Matron. "Shall we start the show?"
