Money Loving CEO's Detective Lover

Chapter 311: The Wrong Turn (11)

"We should become full time babysitters," Shinjin remarked. "Seems like a more profitable job than chasing away ghosts!"

Junho merely grumbled. Gayoon had texted him while with Doyoung that an emergency had popped up and whether they could keep a watch on Jina while she was at the police station. Junho roped in Shinjin with him as well. The exorcist had returned to town that morning and upon hearing about the unusual activities in the hospital, agreed to investigate.

"My miser son wouldn't pay us!" Junho said loudly.

"Just like his father," Shinjin muttered. They were inside Jina's ward where the girl was blissfully sleeping. 

"So the doctor here is a child murderer, huh?" Shinjin asked. "Killed his own son and possible other children."

"That's what Gayoon told me," Junho stated. "She mentioned that the furnace area was the most dangerous part of this building. She sensed some kind of spirit energy there but those spirits seem to be lurking in that particular area. They're not wandering elsewhere. Can they be dangerous?"

"Spirits"

Shinjin was in deep thought. He might not be able to see ghosts, but his ability to distinguish them using his spells was stronger than Gayoon's. Ever since he stepped foot in the hospital, he had sensed a certain energy on one of the lower floors but it was difficult to say if it was dangerous or not unless he investigated it himself.

"I'll go to the furnace area," he said. "And check for the source of the strange energy which I'm sensing."

"How will you get the keys?" Junho frowned. 

"I'll figure it out," Shinjin shrugged. "In our profession, stealing is a very important skill."

"You're saying that way too proudly."

"Says the guy who stole confidential paper from a doctor!"

Junho grumbled while Shinjin, feeling triumphant, turned towards the door. "Au revoir!" he exclaimed and headed outside.

Left alone with Jina, Junho sighed and glanced at his granddaughter. He had been sick with worry ever since she had been poisoned. IF anything had happened to her

He shuddered at the thought of losing his precious grandchild. As long as he was alive, he would not let anyone harm her. Scratch that. Even after he passes away he would make sure that no one could harm her. 

Lightly stroking her head, he whispered, "Don't you ever worry about anything. I'll always be here to take care of you."

Jina snorted and turned on her back with her mouth wide open, sleeping soundly. Junho smiled and kissed her on the forehead. He checked his watch. 

Gayoon had been gone for over an hour for the urgent business. He vaguely wondered what it might be but if she had to leave Jina behind, then it must be something critical. Please let her be safe, he prayed.

.

Gayoon drove as fast as she could towards the station. Doyoung was with her, talking to her private investigator on the phone. For some reason, Gayoon was having an ominous feeling. If they did not catch Kang Danny that very night, something bad was going to happen. It was hard to tell why she felt that way but her instincts were rarely wrong.

"My investigator is at the station already," Doyoung informed her. "And submitted the evidence to Chief Junwan as your instructions."

Gayoon nodded and pulled up in front of the station. "Let's go," she told Doyoung. 

The latter followed her towards the station. 

"You!" Gayoon pointed at an officer. "File her case right now!"

The officer jumped and nodded. Doyoung sat at a corner with an officer while Junwan came running out of his office with Doyoung's PI in tow.

"I'm PI Jung," he introduced himself. "Here are the DNA results of the boy and Kang Danny. And also, the doll."

He handed a file and a bloodied doll wrapped in a plastic bag to her. Junwan was confused by what was going on.

"What's all this, Gayoon?" he demanded. 

"This doll might belong to the boy whose dead body we found outside the station," Gayoon stated. "Other than the hospital's logo on the sack we found, we've also discovered that Kang Danny, the CEO of Little Home Hospital,  was trying to get rid of some papers. Luckily, my informer was able to get those papers before he could destroy them. Moreover, Kang Danny's wife came to me today with a complaint. She found this doll"

Gayoon held up the doll for Junwan to see. "In her cellar," she continued. "And there's a name 'Shinho' written over it. This is our victim's name as well. Moreover, this PI has discovered that Kang Danny had an affair with Shinho's mom before he was born."

"I also carried out a DNA test," the PI quipped. "Using Kang Danny's hair and the blood on the doll. It's a match. They're father and son."

"We have enough proof to arrest him," Gayoon said.

"He is the most suspicious one," Junwan nodded. While they were all discussing how to corner Danny, Doyoung had skipped her hand into her bag to call Siwan.

She was scavenging her bag for the phone when she stumbled upon an envelope.

"What's this"

Doyoung took it out. On it was a phrase written in bold, 'WATCH THIS'. Inside the envelope was a memory chip.

"Detective Gayoon!" she called. "Can I please borrow your laptop?"

Gayoon and the others turned around. "S-sure," she frowned. One of the officers headed towards her desk and took the laptop. He handed it to Doyoung who turned it on and inserted the chip. Gayoon, Junwan and the PI stood behind Doyoung, watching the screen as a video began to play.

.

Shinjin took out the keys he had stolen from the wardboy and unlocked the door. He stepped into the dark furnace room. Using his torch to scan the place, he could feel a cold yet faint presence which was lurking somewhere around. To his surprise, he also felt two very familiar presence.

"Aren't you two Jina's minions?" he asked out loud. A creaking sound came from his right. On a wall, an invisible entity began to write.

"Who the hell are you calling minions?" Yumi wrote angrily. "We're her companions!"

Casper made a gesture asking 'Is that important?'

"Hell yeah!" Yumi retorted.

"Yeah yeah!" Shinjin snorted. "What are you two doing here?"

"Investigating."

"Ah well," he muttered. The two ghosts tailed close to him. They had been sleuthing around that room for hours but found nothing. But Shinjin was frowning.

He touched the furnace as if trying to sense something. Yumi wrote something else on the wall.

"When we were spying on the doctor, he was acting strange," she wrote. "He was slapping himself and talking as if there were other people in the room. But there was no one. He also somehow dragged himself across the room like a madman."

Shinjin read it all and it finally dawned on him. His eyes widened in shock as he looked from what Yumi had written and then to the furnace. No wonder they could not sense the entity moving from one place to another!

"Oh shit!" he cursed.

"What happened?" Yumi wrote. Casper was also feeling a bit scared of the Shinjin's sudden change in expression.

"It's not a ghost," he mumbled. "We're not dealing with a ghost! It's a damn poltergeist!"
