17.34 KST


            Daegu that afternoon was so gray. Hundreds


people scatter in the field of a Daegu's largest elite school


it is called the DIS abbreviation. The sound of crying, despairing, unexpected, and


all the expressions of the unrepresented blend one with hundreds of lifeless bodies


it's in every corner of the school. Despite hugs, shocks,


even the desperate mockery thrown from those people would not


waking the bodies back up, the sobs are getting worse. Arrivals


ambulance, police cars, to the military with sirens, and lights


that penetrated the speck of rain that afternoon made the atmosphere even more slicing of heart.


            “How are conditions in all corners


school?” ask Mark Tuan, the captain of the detective division who led the investigation in


TKPA. Mark is from the Seoul police department, but has just returned


assigned to lead the investigation of cases that have been designated as cases


national.


            “There is no life, Brother. All


killed.” replied Jung Jeffrey, CSI team captain (Crime


Scene Investigation).


            Mark sighed, calming


his mind. Just last night he managed to sleep eight hours, due to a stint


last finished. Now, he must return to the field for that case


bigger and mysterious in this biggest school in Daegu city.


            “Sister, Lee Taeyong forensic expert


already in place” reports Kim Dean, Seoul police junior detective with a breath


gasps.


            “Good. Dean, Jeffrey, go


if TKP with others.” command Mark then walk half run


towards the main gate, where Lee Taeyong was waiting for him.


Daegu Police


19.30 KST


            Investigative team, CSI, and experts


forensics has gathered at Daegu police force as a makeshift headquarters. Ambiance


very crowded, hundreds of people came to report the death of the members


his family. The cries of those people were so loud and heartbreaking, making


the atmosphere of the night in winter was getting cold and sad.


            “Good Night. We'll get started soon


emergency meeting tonight. Starting from Chairman Jung, what clues were found


at TKP?” mark straightforward.


            “We have done an investigation


for 6 hours and found no trace of the perpetrator. But we took some


photo of the corpse, and it looks like we can make a clue.”


            Jeffrey then directed


the pointer is on a projector screen and displays photos of dozens of bodies in the room


classrooms, kitchens, toilets, teacher rooms, to canteens. Jeffrey gave a circle


red on the facial expression, gesture, and motion system of the corpse.


            “We see here, the victim's expression


indicating an expression before dying like in pain, his eyes opened,


his hands clenched, legs folded, mouth wide open. There are no signs


hardness due to blows, sharp objects, blunt objects, and the like.”


            “What found sharp objects or


weapons there?” ask Taeyong


            “It is impossible if the victims


killed with a sharp object or the like, too many in number, too many,


also not found a drop of blood there.” explained Mark. Everyone seems to


think.


            “Ah wait, how about the recording


CCTV?” this time Dean asked.


            “Collapsed partially, and no


showing the time and initial recording of the victims falling.” Answer Jeffrey


half frustrated.


            “Doctor Lee, have your side already


performing autopsy?”


            “Sedang. We did an autopsy


randomized to the victim in each different location in the school. Hope for us


getting an initial picture of the case occurs based on the time of death


victim”


            “When will the autopsy result be released?”


            “At the earliest three days later,


around 10:00 AM.”


            “From a biomedical point of view, and


forensic psychology, what is your hypothesis?”


            “This possibility is caused by a toxin


which attacks the central nervous system, based on


the condition of the corpse, plus the incident so quickly.” replied Taeyong, making


everyone focused on him with a sharp and serious look.


            “If this is due to toxins, toxins


what is it like and given through what?” ask Jeffrey


            “For the type of toxin we will


waiting for autopsy results. It is possible that this toxin is given through food.


Recalling this incident occurred in the three hours after lunch.” Taeyong


convictionfully.


            “It’s


makes sense. Dean, please find information on the schedule of activities and regulations


the school, especially whether they are required to have lunch at school with


same meal, same time.” Quick Mark command


            “Good, Brother. Maybe tomorrow morning ak—”


            “Now! Not hard to find


such information.” cut Mark with his stern look and tone.


            “Ah, Okay.” Dean replied, He has


hapal the work style of his impatient senior. He immediately opened


mobile phones and typing some keywords in online search engines.


            The meeting ended, because


the key evidence expected to come from the results of the new autopsy will come out three


later days. Before returning, they must attend a brief press release


it will be led by Daegu County police chief Song Mino


            “We are so sorry


deeply for the incident that befell your family. Till the time


this, we have not been able to draw conclusions regarding the perpetrator or possible motives


from this incident.” said Mino opened the press release. The police office page


the story of the journalists and the families of the victims was so quiet in the night wind


which is getting colder. Mark and the team behind him were also present while installing


flat expression and fatigue.


            “However some hints are


leading there we have collected. We hope you all can wait


this legal process takes place, and is given fortitude over these events.” tones


his speech now seemed a little cold trembling implying a sense of sadness,


frustrated, angry, and staring at the victim's family who had been there this afternoon


crying in front of the police station.


            “Such information that I can


convey. I hope you can all relax your mind, get back to where you belong


each one, and rest. Good night.”


            The press release is over.


The mass crowd slowly began to decrease although it remained crowded. Seemed all over


the police disbanded, as did Mark and Dean. They


who always come home together, to the same apartment, in the same car.


There was no conversation between the two during the trip from the office yard


to the car park, before Dean stopped his tracks.


            “Kak, that school has meal hours


scheduled noon, at school, and have a partnership with a food supply company.”
