- Okay, let's move on.- Soo Min interrupted, not wanting to hold a discussion, which rather led to nowhere.- Was there anyone else besides Seo In Sung? You mentioned earlier that there is more than one person you suspect.- she asked him another question.
- Yes, there is someone else.- Chang Ho confirmed, nodding slightly.- This might be a shocking theory, but please, I hope at least you will listen to me carefully.- he asked, looking first at Soo Min and then at Hyun Woo.- Of course.- Soo Min confirmed.- Please continue, we are listening.- Hyun Woo nodded in agreement, preparing to write more notes.- In that case, I will say that I also suspect Choi Hyun Sik, Ye Eun's older brother.- Chang Ho announced and, as he expected, it caused quite a shock to the faces of both detectives.- Detective Kim, detective Jung, I warned that this might be surprising. But let me explain why he seems suspicious to me.- he continued.- At the beginning, when I met Hyun Sik, I( *Aish - expression with similar meaning as 'damn it'.**Ageyo - a term used to refer to someone or something looking very cute/adorable. )Before Soo Min and Hyun Woo got into the car and went on the road, they entered a nearby restaurant to eat something.The time was perfect for a meal, and they both agreed they were hungry. Even before they sat down at the table, they decided that this time they would split the bill in half.- Sunbae... I have a question.- Hyun Woo spoke up when they already placed the order.- I'm listening.- Soo Min replied, focusing her eyes on him.- When we said goodbye to lawyer Jang, I noticed something strange.- Hyun Woo began a little uncertainly.- Sunbae, promise me first that you will not be angry. I don't want to offend you or anything, I'm just curious.- he assured her.- Ok, I promise.- replied Soo Min.- Keep talking.- she encouraged him.- I noticed that you s
The road from Seoul to Gwangju wasn't too long, so by car usually it took less time, but as they unfortunately set off in the afternoon, traffic slowly began to form, besides, they had to stop at a gas station along the way. That's why driving to Gwangju took them almost an hour, and all this clearly upset Soo Min. Hyun Woo tried to relax the atmosphere a little by joking around, but it didn't help much. Fortunately, when they finally reached Gwangju, Soo Min clearly brightened.- All right, you will continue to lead from here Hyun Woo. After all, it's your city.- she said, stopping in the parking lot by the cafe.- But first I'll buy something to drink. Do you want something too?- Soo Min asked, looking at him.- Iced Americano please.- Hyun Woo replied, switching to the driver's seat.- Okay, wait here, I'll go alone. It will be faster this way.- said Soo Min, picking up the wallet from her purse. - And remember, when you will drive later, don't go crazy. This car be
As they slowly reached deeper into the forest, they saw a gray stone wall three meters high, which enclosed a fairly large area just before the dense forest in the back. Maybe less than a meter before the gate, the forest path turned into a gravel driveway. The gate was huge and also three meters tall, all made of metal, in a slightly darker shade of gray than the wall around. The very modern looking surveillance camera was located where the wall was in contact with the metal frame of the gate. The camera has moved right away when their car drove on a gravel part of the road.- I don't see any intercoms...- Hyun Woo spoke up, scanning with his eyes the gate and parts of the wall nearby.- What are we supposed to do? Knock?- asked Soo Min, a little bit annoyed.At the same moment she said it tough, the gate clicked slightly and began to move automatically, disappearing behind the wall and opening for them a way inside. Hyun Woo moved the car forward again and felt clea
Soo Min and Hyun Woo entered the room and looked around. It housed several tables full of various cutting and sewing utensils, also for drawing designs. One of them also had a quite large sewing machine. The largest of them also contained materials of various colors and templates for cutting out various pieces of clothing. There were several mannequins in the center, but most were covered with black sheets.- I already have several projects practically ready, so I had to cover them, since all my projects till the release date are the fashion house secret.- explained Hyun Sik probably noticing their curious looks on covered mannequins.- Detectives, please sit down.- he pointed to a small sofa located on the other side of the room, in the very corner. He himself took the armchair located opposite.- Maybe you would like something to drink?- he suggested, looking at them both rather uncertainly.- There is no need. We came here for a specific purpose and it would be better to
Then they waited for about a minute in silence. Soo Min and Hyun Woo were already near the door, ready to go out, and Hyun Sik leaned lightly against the largest table, gazing at the view through the window, and it was beautiful because it showed what was behind the house - a huge forest stretching very far. It looked like there was no wall on the back side, but a similar metal fence like at Choi's residence. Therefore, it did not block the view like the wall surrounding the front and sides of the house and the surrounding area. Finally, there was a knock on the door, and only then did Hyun Sik move.- You can come in.- he said, and then the door opened and the same security guard stood there, who brought detectives upstairs.- Jun Ho, take care of detective Kim and detective Jung.- Hyun Sik added, addressing the man.- Of course.- said the security guard and motioned both detectives to step out into the corridor.- Goodbye again.- Hyun Sik said at the end, then Soo Mi
When they got off the elevator on this floor, Hyun Woo led Soo Min down the hall to the last door. They both stood in front of them, and Hyun Woo pressed the bell. First, a dog's bark was heard, then footsteps approaching the door. Then they opened and a middle-aged woman stood in them. She was slightly shorter than Soo Min, had a small physique, long hair in black color mixed with gray tied in a ponytail, black eyes and a small head. Her face was similar to Hyun Woo's, only with more feminine features. She was dressed in an airy dress over the knee, in a very light shade of blue, with dark blue polka dots. A medium-sized sapsali dog with white hair, slightly graying at the back, hung around her legs. The dog was apparently very excited about the guests and if his owner wouldn't stand in the door he would probably run closer to them.- Hyun Woo? Is that really you?- the woman asked, looking at him.- What a pleasant surprise, I did not expect you to visit me so soon. And y
During the meal Soo Min got to know quite a lot about Hyun Woo's family. His father, Jung Hyun Jun, was an officer in The Combat Police division of the Seoul Police Agency, and when Hyun Woo was only 10 years old, he died in action during one of the more violent riots, being only 35 years old. Since then Mrs Yoon raised her son alone with the help of her's and husband's family. She also got compensation from the police and with that money she opened a small restaurant. However, when Hyun Woo graduated from Police Academy and started working at the Gwangju police station, Mrs Yoon handed the restaurant over to her sister's daughter. She only dealt with restaurant finances and orders of products needed for cooking now.Hyun Woo, just like Soo Min, didn't have any siblings, but was so popular at school that he didn't need any. However, Hyun Woo wasn't popular because of his appearance, but mainly because he has always been very empathetic towards people. He was ready to listen and
When Hyun Woo finished helping his mother, then along with Soo Min said goodbye and left the apartment. Then they took the elevator down, left the apartment block, headed for the parking lot and got into the car. Of course, this time Soo Min took the driver's place again and Hyun Woo the passenger's seat. They fastened their seat belts and Soo Min started off the car park onto the street leading to the exit from Gwangju, towards Seoul. It was already getting dark, so they probably won't be able to do anything more today than taking the car to the parking lot at the police station and writing down a report about the conversations they had today.- Hyun Woo.- Soo Min said when they stood at the traffic light.- Yes, sunbae?- he asked, directing all his attention from the view outside the window at her.- I think we should add Ye Eun's brother to the list of suspects.- she announced, causing a shock on her partner's face.- I don't understand, sunbae... Why?- asked
