The Blood Guy
Description
A serial killer is terrorizing the young women of Daejeon. You're a forensic psychologist, on loan--by invitation--from the nation's Special Investigations Division, committed to figuring out just who is executing these horrendous murders. While your colleagues think that you're helping them investigate the case, however, what you're really investigating is them.
Foreword
“Alright, gather around, everyone, time to meet the newest member of the team.” Daejeon Police Chief Kim Junmyeon waved over everyone on the precinct floor.
You gave them your name, bowing deeply, and imploring them to take care of you.
“She’s a forensic psychologist from the Special Criminal Investigation Division, and she’s here to help us with the Daejeon Dancer case. Introduce yourselves.”
“Sargeant Zhang Yixing. Welcome to the team. If you need anything--for me to show you around, teach you the ropes--just let me know.” A sturdy, genial-looking man, who looked as if he would be far more at home playing a pickup soccer game in the park with his friends than taking down the dregs of society gave you a kind, dimpled smile.
“Detective Kim Jongdae. Nice to meet you.” A bit shorter than the Sargeant, the detective’s smile was less kind and more comfortable, conspiratorial, like you had already been friends, and he had just whispered an inside joke. His mouth, curled up at the edges, and his eye smile all conspired to make you feel at ease, yet, with his arrest record, you realized that there was a lot more behind the charming face than the smile would let on.
You smiled back.
“Hi! I’m Byun Baekhyun, I’m the lead forensics investigator! I look forward to working with you, and that--” he said, indicating a handsome man who had just emerged from another room, “is Kim Jongin, our Blood Spatter Analyst. Jonginsshi--this is our teammate--she’s a forensic psychologist!”
“Oh, really?” The tall, handsome man bowed, and then walked over to you with a smile that transformed his almost absurdly handsome features into something soft, intimate, and welcoming. “Nice to meet you. I hope that you’ll like it here.”
“Thank you, Kim sunbae,” you said, returning his easy smile.
“Ooooh, Kim sunbae!” Baekhyun crowed. “Kyaaaa, we have a new maknae, now!”
“Yah, rookie!”
Turning, you saw another man, leaning forward on his chair, intense gaze fixed on you. Large, well-shaped eyes, a gracefully sculpted nose, and the kind of jawline that you only usually saw in museum exhibits, he would have been handsome had it not been for the dark glower that made you want to take two steps back. Straightening your spine instead, you let your smile cool. “And you are?”
“Do Kyungsoosshi, or Detective Do to you.”
