Hobin and Jaebum were heading for the forensic lab where the initial autopsy of Rachel's body was complete.

"Doc, I must warn you, Kyuhyun can be a little cuckoo," Jaebum remarked. "Good bloke but very oblivious."

"Meaning?" Hobin asked, raising an eyebrow.

"You'll see," Jaebum replied in a cryptic way. They entered the lab and found Kyuhyun was stooping over Rachel's corpse holding a surgical saw. He was wearing protective glasses as he began to slice through the skull.

"I think I'll wait outside till this is over," Jaebum said, feeling sick at the sight of rotten brain and bones splattering all over the surgery table. He quickly ran out and Hobin thought he heard the poor bloke throw up outside.

"You must be Doctor Lee Kyuhyun," Hobin said.

"Doctor Lee Kyuhyun," Kyhyun stated, not looking at him. "Age 29. Height 5 feet 11. Born on-"

"I know," Hobin said. "Detective Hwang gave me a very detailed information checklist on you. I'm Doctor Ohm Hobin."

"Doctor Ohm Hobin, age 24," Kyuhyun parroted. "Psychiatrist at the National Hospital and a dual citizen of Country K and UK. A consulting psychiatrist for the police and also a fellow at-"

"I know Doctor Lee," Hobin cut through his words. "Please tell me about the victim and what you found."

"Victim Name is Song Rachel and she was 18 years old," Kyuhyun immediately started. "She died on 24th of July 20XX-"

"Wait, how did you manage to track down the exact date of her death?" Hobin frowned.

"Her menstruation cycle implies she starts to bleed every month between the 13th and 16th for exactly seven days," Kyuhyun replied like a robot. "From the state of her ovary and her purchase history, I was able to deduce that she had bought the sanitary pad on 15th which means her periods started on the 16th and ended on 23rd. Moreover, there is evidence of carnal activity in her clitoris which suggests that by 24th her periods had stopped. After that, there has been no more activity on her body because the body went into rigor mortis by the 25th."

"Wait, she was raped?" Hobin frowned. "But the CSI's initial investigation said that she was merely bitten on the body but there was no semen or sperm around the crime scene to suggest anything as such."

"Based on the lack of sperm and semen in the crime scene along with the state of the muscle tissues, it was not forced penetration," Kyuhyun parroted. "The male might have used protection. There are no traces of drugs in her body which suggests she was conscious and of sound mind. Moreover, the carnal activity-"

"Sex."

"Did not take place at the crime scene," Kyuhyun said, not bothering about the interruption. Does this guy live in his own world? Hobin wondered.

"Tell us about the death," Hobin sighed. Kyuhyun took apart the bone on the skull to reveal the partially rotting greyish brain in it.

"The unsub had completely pulled her hair apart with more than necessary force," Kyuhyun explained. "The bone on the skull is fractured and there was a lot of internal bleeding but she was still conscious perhaps. The acid burnt away part of the fractured skull but the brain remained intact. The loss of blood due to the hair removal and acid burns killed her."

He covered the brain again and then moved towards the nails.

"The nails were sliced open with a flathead screwdriver," he stated. "There is metal residue stuck on the skin which matches residue from a screwdriver."

"And the bite marks?" Hobin inquired.

"German Shepherd," Kyuhyun stated. "The shape of the marks match that of the German Shepherd breed. The canine marks are cut exactly six centimeters into her skin. Partial skin was torn off but the dog was trained specifically not to eat her flesh. It only bit her as per the unsub's orders."

"It must have taken years to train a dog to be that precise," Hobin noted. "Otherwise they would be enticed by the scent of blood and eat the flesh of the person."

"The cause of death was the acid which was exactly 0.5 pH in concentration," Kyuhyun continued. "Enough to burn a large amount of skin even with one drop. Judging from the extent of her burns, a quarter of a beacon was poured on her skin, causing her to die within five minutes."

Five minutes, Hobin thought. Rachel died an agonizing death, her skin and pride burnt by a madman.

"When will the full autopsy results come out?" Hobin asked.

"Three days with full guarantee," Kyuhyun said, going back to the body. "No more no less than that."

With that, he diverted his attention to Rachel's corpse, indicating to Hobin that their time in the lab was over. Hobin thanked him and left the lab. Jaebum was standing outside, waiting for him.

"She had sex before she died," Hobin revealed. "There are traces of sexual intercourse while she was alive. It wasn't rape though."

"Was it the killer?" Jaebum frowned.

"Who knows," Hobin said. "Where's Tinkerbell and the other officer?"

By now, everyone in the team knew the nickname the doctor gave to Jina.

"Boss and Chanmi have gone to interrogate the boyfriend," Jaebum replied. "I've also talked to Dahoon. He checked the CCTV camera from that night. Some things came to light."

"Firstly, Song Yohan was at the party for only one hour before he left the mansion and returned the next day," he went on. "He was covered in dirt that time which is fishy."

The dad lied, Hobin realized. But why?

"What else?" he asked.

"Two other people were seen hanging around there," Jaebum stated. "Two people who were not invited to the party. One was the boyfriend, Jung Hyojin. He was seen sneaking into the mansion from the back door. Someone had let him in. Might have been Rachel. And hear this. He was carrying the same bottle of wine in which we found the acid."

"And the second person?" Hobin asked.

"It was a girl," Jaebum stated. "She looked like she was what, 14 or 15, maybe. Anyways, she was seen carrying a rope and was creeping into the mansion like some kinda thief. Her face isn't very clear on the camera though. The IT experts are trying to clear it out for us."

"I'll inform Detective Hwang," Hobin said, taking out his phone. He dialed her number and waited until she picked up.

"The boyfriend was at the mansion that night and probably had sex with Rachel," he told her at once. "Ask him about that night."

"I can't," Jina groaned from the other end.

"Why not?" Hobin frowned.

"Because he called a lawyer and is now refusing to reply to any questions," Jina revealed.
