The night was still young with the busy streets as usual. Do-Hyun took the less busy streets of the city rather than the express street which was quite dense with traffic.
Although the rain was not heavily pouring, they got to make it to the crime scene on time if they were to gather enough evidence for investigation. Soon, their car rolled into the scene. 
The place was already covered by floods of people, the police forces, forensics, crime investigators, and the press– with the scene completely secured. 
The news of the crime and the scene was already making weaves and headlines on the news. The press seems to be the fastest entity there is to be. Pandy thought as their jeep pulled to a halt.
A few officers were set at the borders of the secured crime area to prevent any of the people and the Press from getting anymore closer so as not to contaminate any evidence at the scene.
The trio immediately pulled on their gloves and flung off the car. In the distance, one of the young detectives waved them over to the secured area.
“ Over here...hurry.” He shouted. As they headed over, Pandy critically scanned around for any evidence or place which might have been in the blind when they were securing the scene– she seems to be the precise type, very particular and detailed, Do-Hyun noticed. 
Pandy had always been the observing, rather than merely seeing type during crime scene investigations. Being present and focused allowed her to look for clues that would guide her to the real solution–This was kind of a habit now.
“ Fredrick Hartson, an office worker at FDA banking.” he updated them just when they closed up on him. “ He was last seen three days ago at HAVEN VACATION HOME with his team.” 
“ Noted~thanks a lot for the update, Randolph~,” Livvy said as they neared the body. Randolph Edwards was a skilled SWAT member who was ushered to join their team last year. He's been so helpful with resolving the recent numerous murder crimes and kidnappings.
“ Let's take a look...” Pandy said, scanning the completely defaced prey on the muddy ground. Do-Hyun momentarily took shots of every turn and clue she hints on. “ ...gruesome~ ” She cried, critically examining.
“ Sign of braces located on vital points,  smashed face, and a few broken bones,” Livvy mentioned. “ ~looks like a planned murder.” She added.
“ 200 kilometers from Haven Vacation Home ” Do-Hyun hinted. “ This looks more like a kidnap and murder case...,” The three listened as he went on, making a hypothesis.
A hypothesis is an assumption that is made based on some evidence. This is the initial point of any investigation that translates the research questions into medication. This is usually set as a starting point for any investigation for further exploration. 
“ We can't just go and kidnap him~ that will be more dangerous and obvious so why not plan a vacation trip?... That wouldn't be suspicious. ” Do-Hyun analyzed.  “ So they furthered their plans and after everything, they invited him to join which Frederick innocently did.”
“ Right...all stories are possible until they are proven that.” Pandy acknowledged, noting down a few more to aid attain evidence to logically validate their glues.
“ Let's go with this hypothesis ~” Randolph admitted as they headed back to their car. “ We should first start with his team who were on the vacation with him.” 
“ When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.” Livvy quoted Sherlock Holmes. Just when they stepped out of the taped-off perimeter, they were drawn to a halt.
“ Over here...” Pandy called a few meters away from them– about 5 meters away from the secured area. She'd found something which might be for the victim or the culprit.
“ A limited edition LV wristwatch?” Do-Hyun said, clicking a few shots immediately. “ We might be getting even closer than we thought...” He added.
“Do you think this must be it?” Livvy queried and Pandy answered.
“ Not until we've examined,  it can not be directly said. ” As if in an impulse,  she warned. “ Assumptions are our enemies.”
“ I'll get it to the lab~”  Both Livvy and Pandy chorus which made the two dudes share glances. 
“ Let's do this~” Randolph opted. “ I'll go with Livvy to check this out in the lab while you go visit Mr. Fredrick's home~ see if we can get something over there,” He said, turning to Pandy and Do-Hyun. “ What do you say about that ?”
“ Yeah...let's do that. ” They both agreed. On the spot, Livvy and Randolph headed off to his car with the sealed watch and Pandy with Do-Hyun took the jeep they had earlier come in with.
“ See you guys later,” Livvy said as their car rolled past them into the main street and they nodded. 
Just when she was about to hop into her seat, a flash like that of a camera instinctively caught her attention. Pandy had actually had the feeling ever since they got there but then, she thought it might be that of the Press– but now, from where their car was, there was no way it was from the media men.
It seems they were being watched all along–someone was keeping an eye on them. Is it the culprit? , her thoughts grew wild. 
The flash suddenly came again– her gaze spontaneously swept to catch up on it but then, found no one. It seems to be coming from one of the trees in the distance, a few meters away from where the knot of people stood but it's vacant now.
“ Who could it be?” She seemed strayed.
Do-Hyun was already in the driver's seat, waiting to set the car in motion after Pandy had hopped in but then, he noticed her attention hooked on something in the distance. His eyes carefully tailed after hers– waiting to catch on to it.
