Kim Minhyuk

Kim Minhyuk works as a secretary for Taeha Hyung. Since I took his identity, it could be dangerous if anyone discovered my secret. What do you think will happen if they find out? I would die on the spot.

Comfevia, a popular fashion industry gaining recognition recently, hired me a week ago. Despite his progress, the Kang group is constantly at war, determined to eliminate Taeha Hyung at any cost. It seems that greed has taken over them

Recently, Taeha Hyung assigned me a task related to the death of Kim Minhyuk. According to the autopsy he was strangled to death which doesn't make sense cause no one can choke a strong man like him to death. Who recently completed his military service.

So just strangling him won't do there must be something else. I decided to examine the body that had been stored in an abandoned hospital's freezer due to suspicion. I arrived at the abandoned hospital located in the Black Forest. The Black Forest is notorious for illegal activities like smuggling. It is also a place where many eerie stories exist.

"Finally, you're here," Miri said with a displeased expression.

"I mentioned that it took a long time to drive here, about an hour," I said.

"Sure, whatever," she said, rolling her eyes.

For some reason, Miri easily upset me. She was the type who could annoy anyone with ease. There was nothing I could do since we were supposed to work together. When I was unconscious, she was the one who took care of me.

"Hey, what are you doing slacking off?" she said.

I wanted to confront her, but we were not in the right situation, so I ignored her.

"Hey Hey Hey," She said.

"What," I said feeling pissed.

"Are you ignoring me??" She asked.

"Of course not. Why would I ignore you?" I said, forcing myself to smile.

"Ah, I see. That makes sense," she said as she walked ahead of me.

According to the information we were given Minhyuk's body was discovered 10 days after his disappearance. He was strangled to death. After killing him the killer stuffed him into a suitcase. It was impossible to stuff a tall man like him in a bag. More importantly, he would've been an easy target if he were not a part of the military.

"You're lost in your thoughts again, aren't you?" Miri asked, snapping me back to reality.

"umm," I was lost for words.

"any way we should look into the suitcase to see if the body is in good condition," Miri said.

We unzipped the suitcase to inspect the body, but it wasn't Minhyuk's. The person who found it had a close relationship with Taeha. When Miri looked at me, I sensed her fear, even though she didn't say anything specific. I knew what she was thinking.

"We can't trust anyone in this company," I said to her.

"I can see that," She said.

"Do you know who this is??" I asked her.

"He is one of the designers at Comfevia," She said.

"Did he have a conflict with Kang Seojun or something??" I asked.

"He was just really talented. He went missing way before Minhyuk did." She said.

"I see," I said.

We took a good look at the body. It was pretty damaged. It was like he was kept in a suitcase for too long. From what it looked like he was badly tortured. Some of his body parts like teeth, nails, and some fingers were missing. There were bit marks on his hands. The most disturbing part was that his neck was detached from his body and his ribs looked completely broken. His face was disfigured it was clear that the killer wanted to fool us. If it was the normal person they would've bought it but as for me and Miri it wasn't that hard. I've seen many cases like this. She has performed many autopsies before. Our original plan was to perform the autopsy and figure out who the killer was. But I guess we have a lot on our plate.

"What do we do??" I asked Miri.

"There is nothing we can do right now but when I perform the autopsy we might be able to get a clue or something," She said.

"Very well," I said as I started to close the suitcase and bring it to the car.

"Umm I think you should know about this too," She said as she grabbed my arm.

"What??" I asked.

"He isn't the only one who was killed," She said.

"You mean there are more of them" I asked 

"Yes the only thing similar is bit marks and missing fingers, nails, and teeth," She said.

"Hm I see it can be a possibility that they were killed by the same person" I mumbled to myself.

"Yes they were killed by the same person and Minhyuk knew about this," She said.

"I Bet they kidnapped him 'cause he found out who it was," I asked.

"Yes that's why he went missing and we never saw him again," She said.

It all made sense now but where was Min Hyuk if he wasn't killed all of this was too confusion.
