"What on earth is this business coming to?!"
A woman's furious voice echoed from the tavern "Guiyuanpu," hidden in a narrow alley.
The patrons waiting at the bar turned their heads toward the source of the high-pitched outburst.
The usually sweet and innocent female owner was glaring at a young man in a police uniform with a terrifying expression they had never seen before.
The two of them occupied the only two seats in the small tavern, which was only 30 square meters, but instead of sitting down, they stood by the table like enemies, facing off.
An elderly customer, holding a bag of fine wine and about to leave, cautiously remarked, "Xiao Que, are you alright?"
The female owner’s smile transformed from radiant to chilling in an instant. "I'm fine, please take your time."
The patron was so taken aback by the drastic change that he could only nod repeatedly, ultimately colliding with a camel bell hanging by the door. Amidst the attention of onlookers, they heard the sound of a vehicle stalling twice outside.
"Don't be angry. I promise I won't make you feel nauseous again this time." Park Chi said carefully while pulling out a sheet of paper from his bag and handing it over. The nausea he referred to stemmed from an incident a month ago when Xiao Que had been left alone by a campfire with several dismembered body parts waiting for rescue all night. Ever since then, hearing words like "limbs," "skin tissue," and "crime scene" made her gag.
The paper he handed her bore the bold title: Notification of Assistance in Body Source Investigation.
Her childhood friend scoffed dismissively. "Come on, dear Officer Park, why are you being polite with me now?" The woman leaned in menacingly, her brows knitted tightly. "Weren't you the one who posted an A-level wanted notice on my tavern wall last time? Why are you showing me mercy today?" She picked up the paper and sat down at the bar.
To all neighboring counties and city police departments:
On the afternoon of August 19, 2008, a nameless female corpse was discovered in the marsh beneath the bridge at 33KM + 100M on D Highway in this city. The deceased was found inside a metal box, and it has been confirmed as a case of murder and body disposal.

She was dressed in a white silk dress (the inner label had been cut out but confirmed to be of the Chanel brand) and covered with a black shawl (the inner label read NOW, MADE IN Poland), which had a dark blue trim and no patterns. She was approximately 19 weeks pregnant and around 25 years old.

"You might just score ten grand this time," Park Chi said as he pulled out half a French baguette from his bag and sat down with a cup of mugwort water, taking a bite. "I haven't eaten anything since I got up; I'm starving."
"U.S. dollars?" The other person responded with unexpected indifference, pointing at one of the photos on the page. "Old Park, don't you think this corpse looks strange?"
That photo was taken by police upon their arrival at the scene. The female corpse lay flat inside the metal box, her hair cascading straight down, her upper body covered by the shawl, and her hands exposed and crossed over her chest.
"Strange? What's strange about it?"
