Jina drove all the way to the hills which were located on the outskirts of the town. It took her an hour to reach there while Hobin showed her the way using the map Dahoon sent them.

"Take the left turn ahead," he instructed. They were driving through the road between the thick forest. The path was too dark so Jina had to drive slowly until they reached the route to the hills. They were supposed to reach a place called the 'Lover's Point' which was a popular spot for couples. 

"I see the police vans!" Hobin said, pointing ahead. Jina parked the car at a side and approached the officers on the scene.

"Give me the details," she told them. One officer nodded and began to lead them towards the spot where the crime took place.

"A group of influencers were shooting here with their cameras when they stumbled upon the scene," the officer told them. "They called the police immediately. The victims are a couple in their late twenties. Their child was injured but managed to survive. We've managed to send the boy to the hospital."

"What about the bodies?" Hobin asked.

"Well…I think you need to see this yourself."

The officer was reluctant to reveal anything. Instead, he simply led them to the site so that they could see the state of the bodies. As soon as they reached the site, Jina let out a loud gasp. Even Hobin was horrified by what he was seeing.

"What the fuck?" he muttered in disgust.

The body of a woman was dangling above them in X-shape. Her limbs were tied to the trees, completely stripped naked. Thick blood was coated in between her thighs and her throat was also cut. Her eyes were kept open with a scotch tape and there were several assault marks all over her body. She was bitten and beaten, her tanned skin showing marks of long lashes from a whip or belt. 

Beneath her body was another corpse of a man who was probably shot on the head. His hands were tied to his back and to everyone's horror, his genitals were cut off with something sharp. The CSI team investigating the bodies were shaking as they worked on them. 

Jiwoon was standing a few feet away, staring at the woman. Even though she had seen many crimes, there was something about this which scared even an affable person like her. She was gazing at the woman who had gone through tremendous abuse before dying. The woman was around her age, perhaps 28 or 29 and even had the same dark hair as her albeit long. 

She subconsciously touched her own short hair. A chill ran down her spine and she quickly shook her fears away.

"Jiwoon."

She turned around to see Jina and Hobin, their faces also wincing at the sight.

"What did we find out about our Unsub?" Jina asked, her tone barely stable.

"No one saw the murderer," Jiwoon stated. "I talked to those kids over there."

She pointed at a bunch of teenagers who Jina recognized as rising stars in the influencer world. They were a pair of boys around 17 years old named, Yoo Dongshik and Min Donghae. They were giving their statement to an officer.

"I'll talk to them," Hobin said. "You go and find out about the woman and her husband."

Jina nodded and approached the bodies. She put on her gloves and waited until the CSI team untied the woman and brought her down carefully. They laid her on a stretcher to examine the wounds. Kyuhyun was summoned from the lab to carry out the initial analysis this time. He stooped over the body, totally unfazed by the state.

"What do we know so far?" Jina asked him.

"The male victim was shot point blank on the head with a bullet radius of one centimeter," he parroted. "Judging by the blood flow, the testicles of the man were cut off after he was shot dead using a sharp butcher's knife. He was killed five hours ago and died on the spot. The woman's wounds are comparatively fresher, the first wound inflicted four hours ago. She was raped first by the Unsub before he stabbed her clitoris with a long knife and simultaneously whipped her with a belt for hours before slashing her throat with the same knife. There are vaginal juices in her throat along with some sperm, indicating that the man did not use a condom."

Jina regretted asking the question because now she was not sure which one was worse. The crime or the matter-of-fact way Kyuhyun described the crime.

"And the child?"

"The child was nearly suffocated to death but he was interrupted by a distraction and hence, ran away. That was when the influencers found the bodies. The child is now at the hospital."

Jina let out a sigh of relief. At least there was a witness to the crime. She walked around the crime scene, looking for more clues. There was a bullet stuck to a tree not far from the site. She had a CSI officer take it out and put it away for tests. The couple's car was parked not far away from the place.

"Is anything missing?" She asked one of the officers who was checking the car.

"Nothing is stolen," he replied. "Their valuables are still here. Money, cards, ID and even the keys to their apartment are here. Their names were Yang Haesoo and Wan Chaeyeon. They were in their late twenties and have a son named Yang Wook."

He handed Jina their ID's. They lived not far from the city's main center and must have come to this spot for sightseeing. Little did the family know that it was going to turn out to be a nightmare.

Hobin approached her.

"The influencers said that they found the bodies like this when they arrived," he said in a grim tone. "They were shooting a prank video for their next vlog but received the shock of their lives."

"But who would do this?" Jina wondered. "That murderer must really hate this couple."

"No…"

Hobin was in deep thought. There was something not right in this case. He was sure there was something missing.

"What do you mean?" Jina frowned. "This is a brutal murder! Obviously, the murderer must hate the couple-"

"Or he didn't know the couple."

He glanced at her. "If he hated them, he'd have killed both of them brutally but the woman suffered more torture. This...this is a different case altogether."

"Boss!" 

Chanmi's voice came from somewhere in the woods around the scene. Jina and Hobin rushed towards her team which were scavenging the area for clues.

"What is it?" she asked. Chanmi did not reply but pointed at the bark of a tree. Jina and Hobin glanced at the tree and froze in shock.

On the tree was a symbol drawn in blood. It was a star covered by a pentagon and had a cross drawn on it.

"What the hell is this?" Jina whispered. "Did the murderer do this? Why?"

But Hobin was studying the symbol. It was not an ordinary case. This was something else.

"This isn't a random crime," he revealed. "This....this is a ritual."
