After 12 Hours

Philosophy

I twisted my legs on the bench and looked up at the sky. The poisonous sky looks high today. I can feel the autumn coming.

Autumn.

That's how I looked up at the sky.

“You wanted to see me, Jules?"

A new Crow appeared before me, bowing his head to me. A perfectly normal greeting. He's dressed up in his usual suit, so he just looks like a foreigner traveling abroad. Now I think I can meet him somewhere else with a lot of people. I advised him to sit next to me.

“The research last time was really good. The quality of the content, the sheep... was unbelievably good. ”

He lowers his head slightly.

“Thank you."

“I think I should thank you. because we could do a lot of things with that data. ”

“Glad I could help. ”

He seems to have a very modest style.

“What have you been doing for two days? ”

“I've been working.”

“Work?”

“Yes”

I tilted my head.

“Really? You take a break when I don't have a quest."

“Yes, Master Crow doesn't like to be played by the Crow. We have to keep working. ”

“What's going on? ”

I said, he lowered his head slightly and looked at the ground.

“Everything that goes on in the world is our job. ”

“Really? Without rest? ”

“Yes, we don't rest. as the world goes on and on. ”

Um...

It's a little sad that you work without rest. If I was a boss, I'd give you a nice vacation. No, there's nothing I can't give you.

“So I can't pay you for your vacation, but do you want a separate reward? ”

I say he reveals his white teeth and giggles. The brown skin makes its teeth particularly noticeable.

“I'm fine. I appreciate it. ”

I was going to give you about 10 million won.

“Are you sure you want to do this? ”

“Yes, I'm fine. I can't spend it on Jules anyway. ”

“Can't you write it? ”

“Yes.”

“Then... where do you sleep and what do you eat? ”

“We have our own place to sleep. There's food coming out. ”

“Yes...”

When I lay my eyes slightly down and the horse's tail is blurred, he said.

“Don't worry. Jules, I am fully rewarded for my work as Crowe. No, too much reward. ”

“Too much reward? ”

He looked at the abundance of grass in Montmartre Park and said,

“Yes. Excessive reward. ”

“What reward...”

“That's... what I'm saying. ”

I guess I went too far without knowing it. I didn't dig there anymore.

“Yes, sir. By the way, I have a new quest. ”

He looked at me and said, as if he was waiting.

“Yes, what is it? ”

“The character, Takjungi, whom I asked you to investigate before... he's dead. ”

Crowe, I'm telling you, said dumbass things.

“I see.”

As if he had any idea. I kept saying it.

“But that death... it's a little strange. The press and the police said he committed suicide, but I knew he wasn't suicidal. He texted me before he died, and it wasn't even a suicide note. And the content of his will... it doesn't make any sense. ”

Crowe listens to me quietly. I got to the point.

“So I'm curious. If he really did commit suicide, or if he didn't, who did? If he was killed, who killed him? I want to find out why he killed her, and... if she had anything to do with me. ”

“... Yes, sir. ”

Crowe nods. I was in a hurry to see him like that. He had a habit of disappearing once he heard the quest.

“By the way, Mr. Crowe.”

“Yes, Jules. ”

“Does this quest take a month? ”

“... yes."

It seems simpler than the last quest, so I was wondering if the investigation period would be shorter. I told him.

“I see. I see. I'll take good care of it. Oh, and”

“Yes, Jules. ”

I said one last thing.

“What kind of food do you like? Let's have dinner together next time. ”

“... I eat anything. ”

“What do you like more than just eating? ”

“I don't know. Not really...”

“Then I'll decide for myself. Next time, let's not meet in a park like this, let's eat together at a restaurant. ”

He nods.

“Yes, Jules. ”

It's time for him to disappear. I glanced at him for a moment, frowning. However, he got up from his seat and walked the other way. I thought it would fly into the sky, hide into the earth, or be one of the two, but it's very common.

"Huh... That's odd... If you don't watch it, it disappears, if you watch it, you walk... What kind of spy is Schrodinger?"

He had a lot of mystery and unknowns, but one thing was clear. That he's capable. In a month's time, I will know the truth about the death of Takjun Machine Director.

*

I returned to my everyday life with a quest to Crowe. Unlike me, public attention soon became distant to the director of Takju Machine. It only takes a day. Takjungi stock manipulation, which rocked the Republic of Korea, cooled down in just one day. He wrote a will to confess his sins and killed himself. No matter how wicked you are, pointing fingers at the dead doesn't suit our country.

"That punk, the Third Reich, did that..."

The angry crowd quickly hid their tracks. The name of the three letters of the turbulent machine increased the ranking of the query by an additional day, but that was it. If there really is someone who ‘created’ his death, we should consider him to have achieved his calling objective. because a lot of what had to happen had disappeared. First, the investigation of the people in the investigation became cloudy. Some conscious journalists

‘The turbulent incident. It didn't end in death. ’

I wrote an article and sent it out. However, I was bored with the proper investigation. Even if it's an investigation,

‘I don't know. ’

‘This is your unilateral argument. ’

‘Takjungi did this by himself. ’

It is enough to avoid it in a way. It's not like you can bring a dead man in here and interrogate him. Suyeon's stock price also rose. I'm glad the turbulent plane died. The stock market is so scary. It is ironic to think that Takjungi himself was a person who waved his stock while shaking other people's lives. I was thinking about the 24% spike yesterday and today's +15% spike in annual stock prices.

"Takjun Machine himself would like to see..."

The amount of short-selling would have been bought back by the appropriate vice president. I didn't see much benefit, but whatever. It was one of the devices that was trying to screw up the turbulence rather than making money in the first place. The man who tried to fuck me is dead. There were a variety of comments on the stock board.

‘Oh, thank goodness that poor bastard is dead. ’

‘I didn't want to sell it yesterday. It'll last another day. ’

‘Khh. That was a good bet yesterday. Dog.’

‘But I have a conscience. Because he died and saved the shareholder's value. "

‘No, I wouldn't have done that if I had a conscience. The son of a bitch eats the dog. He kills himself and gets it done clean. ’

I often talked about turbulence. And in the meantime, that's the story.

"Who's taking ownership of the turbine, by the way? You didn't even marry him."

I'm a little curious about that, too. I don't know if that's the right answer.

‘I'll take it back from Suyeon Group. It's a branch coming out of you anyway. "

It was written like that. If you think about it, it is natural. In the beginning, Suyeon Group threw a travel agent at the underdog. There was an official announcement on Suyeon's trip.

‘Suyeon trip has nothing to do with the deviation of the Takjungi board. There will be disclosure soon regarding the majority shareholder’

I looked at it and I thought,

‘... This is how it ends...’

The world seems to forget him like that. In just one day, I haven't forgotten. Crowe returns only a month later, September 29th.

*

The last two days of August. I visited Incheon International Airport two days in a row. To welcome people home. First August 30th. My family returned home, and they gave me gifts from all over Europe as they traveled. First, my mother bought fragrance from Italy.

“This is one of the most used by Italian men. Italian guys are the most popular in Europe, so I bought them. ”

“Yes, I'll try it, Mother. ”

My father bought wine from France.

“This is for local use only, so they can't buy it in my country without paying. I bought this because I thought it would be good for my rich son. ”

“Yes, thank you. ”

He also gave me a soccer uniform from Spain.

“Brother, this is the Real Madrid uniform. Gareth Vale? I brought you the most handsome one. ”

“... I like Barcelona. ”

What difference does it make? ”

Either way, I'm glad you made it. Since Takjun, the threat, is dead, the family will be safe. On August 31, the second day, she returned home. She bought me luxury sunglasses as a gift.

“I bought this from a duty-free shop... but I thought it would look good on my brother. ”

I bought something just as cool as your rich daughter.

“Yes, thank you. ”

Come to think of it, there was a gift I had prepared for her.

“Oh my goodness. I didn't know you were in the States... him. ”

“Who?”

“The last one left. Turbulence.”

“Yes.”

“Dead.”

She widened her eyes and covered her mouth with both hands.

“Why?”

“At that time, I dodged it well in the spring... but I don't know how the exposé came back. That's why he killed himself in the process of being framed. On the rooftop of his building."

I neglected to mention that I did. As always, she doesn't need to know everything. It's good for her.

“Really?"

“Yes.”

I guess she thought that was a little weird, too.

“Well... he... didn't look like he was going to die... but he did...”

“No matter how vicious the villain was, his sins were exposed to the world... and by the way, there was something about old food. The police are going to investigate again. ”

“Really?"

When Takjungi said he was dead, she didn't seem very happy.

“Yes. If you do well, you'll get your parents' honor back. ”

He looked quite bright.

“Yes... good... good. ”

Ayoung's father...

‘I am innocent. My daughter.'

He died with that will. It was a desperate, sincere will to think about it now. Unlike the turbulence. Once the results of the food re-examination come back, everyone will know that what he said is true. I thought about leaving Incheon International Airport with my arms crossed with her.

"So desperate. So desperate. ’
