The Dancing Grave

04 || Unveiling The Secret Room! ||

By the time Irish left the investigation room she was met with the others present excluding Robert. Not a minute passed when Robert re-entered the room with his gaze fixate on his device. Looking up he saw that Irish had finished her interrogation. He initiated the conversation his voice filled with concern.

"I just received a call from California National Hospital. They informed me that someone related to an accident case just got admitted to their hospital and that someone turned out to be the personal driver of Mrs. Song and that it was an accident case and no one from the patient's side were known so they dropped the information to us. They were involved in a tragic accident on thier way to the station due to break failure and unfortunately due to excessive loss of blood, the driver has passed into coma. We don't know when or if he will wake up.

About Mrs. Song, the driver fell outside the car in accident whereas the car hit the tree hard enough leading it to blast after what I assume, 10 to 15 minutes, after the car hit the tree.

As per the information I received, after the fire took place not too long after the fire brigade were there. And the body couldn't have possibly burned completely but they didn't saw a single trace of life present inside the car. So the predicted possibilities are that either Mrs. Song is dead or she's missing."

As Irish absorbed the shocking news her mind raced with questions. How could Mrs. Song have been involved in an accident? And what connection did it have to the mysterious death of Sameul? Was the failure of break of their transport on purpose? If Mrs. Song was not in the car them where? Could she be related to the culprit somehow by any chance? pieces of the puzzle seemed to be falling into place but the picture they formed was far from clear. The puzzle was far to complicated than thought.

Robert continued his voice filled with certainty. "It seems that Mrs. Song's accident occurred just moments after she left her house. The driver of the vehicle involved in the collision has been identified as a man named Kang Min-joon. We are currently investigating the circumstances surrounding the accident but it appears to be a tragic case of being in the wrong place at the wrong time."

Irish's mind whirled with the implications of this new information. Could it be mere coincidence that Mrs. Song, a neighbor of the Horgurts' had met with such a tragic fate? Or was there something more sinister at play? She couldn't shake the feeling that there was a hidden connection, a thread that tied all these events together.

As she pondered the possibilities Irish's thoughts turned to the strange behavior of the Horgurt's. Something had seemed off about them ever since their return from the trip. Could their odd demeanor be linked to the tragic events unfolding around them? It was a chilling thought but one that Irish couldn't ignore. The sudden death of Mrs. Song or could say disappearance - Sameul's weird-out behavior around Mrs. Song ever after their return from the trip - the said strange packages - and the secret room.

Could this all be a link, something to do with Mrs. Song? Or was it a deliberately attempt to kill Mrs. Song for us to not reach the real culprit.

Now there's only this one place were we might find answers to these constantly rising questions.

Or so you thought.

Little did she knew the possibilities of her pondering over something more sinister were likely to take place.

"Mr. Robert I need you to investigate and check all the cctv cameras that must have captured today's event. Check the camera's of Mr. Sameul's neighborhood which might had captured Mrs. Song's departure from her house. Also check the footage of camera's that are present from her house to the accident spot. I want each and every footage of whatever I've asked for. Do you get that?" Robert straightened his back as he got shuddered under Irish's intimidating stare. Complying to it, he bow and walked out to search for asked evidences.

Turning back to the other 3 officers, she began "Mr. David, I need you to transfer the recorded audio-video to a pendrive and pass it to me..." pausing for a while to receive a positive response she continued"... As for you two, looks like we're crashing at Horgurt's resident once again." Irish completed joining her hand accompanied by a shrug.

*******

Upon arriving at the Horgurt resident, the gates were pushed open by the officers who were asked to guard the mansion. Pulling out in the driveway, we penetrate inside yet again on the same day. The three of us were faced by Robert who was asked to come straight here as soon his assigned work is done with which----a little surprisingly----done quicker that thought.

He rose up from the couch as soon as his sight left on us.

By a quick look at his demeanor one can predict something sinister is making it's way to them which might take them back to the Step 1 from where they initially began with.

"Miss. Irish, there's something important which I must tell you. It's about to Mrs. Song" His voice came out more serious than anticipated which----for sure-----got everyone's heart to shudder with unknown fright.

Getting the cue to continue after achieving a nod from Irish, he began "I'm not honestly 100% sure on what I'm about to say but according to the information I'd received from the neighbors upon my arrival here, I came to the circumstances to interrogate the neighbors personally this time, and I'm afraid that the things I was informed are going to take us back to were we first began... "At this exact time, ......."

Determined to uncover the truth Irish decided to delve deeper into the lives of the Horgurts. She began by researching their backgrounds searching for any clues that might shed light on their current prediction.
