Chapter 1
The Broken Heart SyndromeThe house was quiet, except for the occasional wolf howling. Kim Yongsun had not signed up for this when she switched from White Collar crimes to the Violent Crimes division.
For most detectives, this was a step up but for her this was something new to try to get a semblance of control over her life. She was still getting back to normal after a divorce with her ex. He was a nice man, but they'd gotten married only because it seemed right. 4 years in, she realised she didn't love him anymore and had taken the decision to leave him. But he was also her closest friend, hence she was bound to be sad. Right? But nope, she found herself to be too lonely and dwelling too much into the past. She had hence decided to shift to a job that demanded more of her attention. But somehow, one month into the job, she had found herself investigating what seemed like the biggest case of her life.
The MO was the same, strangle the victims, arrange them artfully in a coffin and leave the coffin in front of a graveyard. She'd found it amusing a bit when she had started working on the case, but once the number of kills jumped to 12 it wasn't funny anymore. After hours of sleeplessness due to scouting and viewing days worth of CCTV footage, she'd finally caught a break. The killer had slipped up in the last murder. A kid who was hidden in a bush had seen him push the coffin towards the graveyard. They finally had a sketch to compare to and it was easy to identify the suspect.
