Lisa finishes saying out this big load of information, throws the marker away and turns around to look at Jungkook.

Jungkook has been staring at her this whole time as if he's been entranced.

Lisa asks, "What's the matter? Am I wrong? Don't hate me now. "

Jungkook finally lowers his eyes, stands up straights and stuffs both hands into his pockets.

"You've said everything very well. Flawless and enlightening." Lisa's mouth curves into a smile.

"Let's go, Let's head over to Chen's home. He should be caught by now," he says.

Lisa nods, "Give me a minute. I need to erase all these. She picks up the whiteboard eraser, tip-toes and starts wiping away the boards covered with words.

Jungkook watches her from behind. He smiles, walks over and picks up another eraser. He erases the board for a moment and then turns his head to look at her.

He was lost in a trance when she was talking about the profile just now.

It was because watching her with such high spirits actually made him remember some blurry images in his mind. He could kind of make out another her, who was wearing a delicate dress in high heels. She was standing in a big conference room as well explaining a suspect's profile, and he was also the only member of the audience.

But she seemed different than the way she is now. That face was more childish and more plumped. Although she was young, her eyes carried even more incisiveness as if she didn't care about anything else.

He was sitting in the seats below the stage with a smile and watching her in leisure. He watched his princess spread out her vibrant wings in front of him.

And she right now, even though she's just as proud as before, the incisiveness seems to have smoothed out quite a bit over time. She no longer wears pretty and eye-catching dresses or shiny high heels. Instead, she wears simple sportswear and ties her hair into a ponytail casually without using any hair accessories.

Jungkook feels pain in his chest. His hand pauses midair.

"Lisa, I'll accompany you to buy a dress," he says. Lisa looks at him with a weird expression, "Why?"

"What? You don't want to?"

"Mm, I don't want to," Lisa continues erasing the boards, "I quite liked wearing dresses in the past, but after working as a criminal investigator for a long while now, I feel that wearing dresses is a hassle. I don't like it. "

"What should we do then?" he looks downwards towards her and says flippantly, "I like it."

Lisa spurts out laughing and begins erasing the board quicker, "We'll see about your performance from now on first."

Jungkook has long arms and legs, so he finishes erasing his board quickly Instead of offering to help her, he tosses the eraser away, leans on the stand and continues watching his woman's back.

After a while, he says, "Lisa, about the case from five years ago, I've already done some investigating and found some things."

Lisa's hand pauses for a second, "What is it?"

"There were 64 dead. And based on the time, place and cause of death, there was more than one killer. The victims were of different backgrounds and ages. Some died from having their bodies sliced apart, some died from suffocating, and some died from poisoning......" he says, "Because the details of the case have been classified, we don't have information on the criminals and we don't know how we're related to the case. However, I plan to go in the reverse direction by investigating the victims first and then find out who the killers are and attempt to reconstruct what happened. Therefore, in the days to come, you might have to build many profiles......"
