Record of a Thousand Lives

The investigators put the handcuffed man in the convoy wagon.

The wagon was used to transport sinners because it had cramped bars.

Kang Yoon-soo sat in the corner and bowed his head.

‘My schedule went wrong. ’

I was going to go straight to San Genium and fight the Vampires.

He was arrested for the appearance of an unprecedented group of investigators.

It's only a first-rate investigator who can move this kind of manpower.

‘My back was poorly dealt with. ’

It must have been Cheryl who moved to capture herself.

I overlooked her excellent intuition.

Kang Yoon-soo looked down at the wrinkling handcuffs.

‘Fleeing is easy. ’

A piece of iron tucked away in my sleeve, handcuffs tied to my hands, allows me to loosen it lightly.

This is what I went through every day when I lived for generations.

One time, I broke a rope off the professor's block and ran away with a group.

‘But I don't think that's the answer. ’

He was arrested.

It meant he was a criminal.

If we uncuff ourselves and run, we're fugitives.

‘You can take damage from other colleagues besides me. ’

The seam spreads, and the surveillance of the investigators interferes with the plan.

Therefore, Kang Yoon-soo gave up on escape.

‘I'd rather use this situation. ’

I was searched and confiscated.

I don't have any weapons.

I had to go through this obstacle with only three tongues.

‘Turn crisis into opportunity. ’

Queek -

Cheryl's in the wagon.

She folded her arms and looked at Kang Yoon-soo.

The two of them were close, but an impenetrable cage stood between them.

“Your name?”

Cheryl asked, and Kang Yoon-soo answered.

“Kang Yoon-soo.”

The wagon escorting him begins to move.

Cheryl wrote something on the paperwork with a quill.

“What was the motive? ”

“What.”

“Why impersonate a Class 0 investigator. ”

“Just.”

Cheryl raised her eyebrows and glanced at Kang Yoon-soo.

He was as fierce as a female.

“What are you looking at? ”

“What an unusual type. ”

Cheryl didn't shake.

It was a rule not to be swayed by a sinner as an interrogator.

The wagon begins to move.

“You have yet to formally enslave a sinner. ”

Cheryl picks up the quill.

“If I file this paperwork with headquarters, you'll be a criminal and put in a proper prison. ”

In short, he was still legally a civilian.

Of course, it was true what you did.

“In some cases, I can moderately cosmetize your parade. Therefore, it would be better to cooperate with my questions. ”

“I thought every interrogation had never made up for the crime. ”

Kang Yoon-soo said as if he could see through everything.

Cheryl's eyes were cold.

“You speak as if you know me well. ”

“You were the most annoying investigator I've ever seen in my life. ”

“What are you talking about? ”

Kang Yoon-soo sat comfortably against the wagon wall.

His expressionless eyes meet Yeouido's gaze.

“Cheryl de Lafichry. ”

For just a moment, Cheryl's grip on the collar twitches.

Cheryl's real name no one knows but herself.

Kang Yoon-soo continued speaking.

“The fallen Erl's bloodline. But I hid my identity and became an investigator as a civilian. ”

“Were you sneaking around behind my back? ”

“No.”

Kang Yoon-soo said as if it were natural.

“I've known for a long time. ”

“Do you intend to keep your crimes a secret? I urge you to give up. ”

It was my pride to hide the fact that I was a fallen nobleman.

She started as a civilian and became a first-rate investigator as a civilian.

Now, there was nothing to be afraid of as long as the background was revealed.

“I have so many questions about you. ”

Cheryl said, but he didn't pretend to hear it.

Kang Yoon-soo looked at the window.

There were white clouds above the blue sky.

“It's going to rain soon. ”

It's so sunny, why is it raining?

Cheryl pulls the knife out of her arms.

She throws the knife in an elegant manner as a competent investigator.

Wh...!

The knife that crossed through the bars grazed Yoon-soo's hair.

He turns his head to look at Cheryl.

“Why.”

Strange man.

You're not afraid of yourself?

Usually, when interrogations started, the criminal also knelt on his knees under Cheryl's charisma.

‘He doesn't look like that at all. ’

It felt strange.

But nothing ever gets carried away.

She reflected on her role as an investigator and continued to ask questions.

“I see you've prepared quite a bit to impersonate a Class 0 investigator. Knowledge of Dragon Claw Amulet, relief in Lapnterhill. It's just hard to be prepared by yourself. ”

She lays her voice and asks.

“Who's the accomplice? ”

“I did it alone. ”

Every answer I heard earlier was a simple answer.

Cheryl quickly wrote on the document.

She asked me what I cared about the most.

“How old are you? ”

“I forgot.”

“Your eyes caught my attention. ”

It was an ambassador for a love confession, usually for men and women.

However, in this case, both eyes were only flowing cold.

Cheryl looks at Kang Yoon-soo's expressionless eyes.

“You look tired of life. It's not just about living a rough life. I feel like I've lived too long to live my own life. ”

“Do I look like a vampire? ”

“At least I feel that way. But his fangs aren't sharp, his eyes aren't red. ”

“I am a human being. ”

Kang Yoon-soo felt unnatural for some reason.

Can we call ourselves human beings who lived for 20,000 years in the first place?

It was then.

“Hiiiing-!"

“Ugh!”

Cheryl quickly pushes her head out the window.

“What's going on? ”

The wagon has stopped.

The horse man said in a surprised voice.

“Sue, an investigator just collapsed! ”

Cheryl quickly opens the door and gets out of the wagon.

An investigator falls off his horse, bleeding out.

She shakes the investigator's shoulder.

“Gepher! Wake up! ”

But the investigator's consciousness did not return.

Cheryl took a finger to her wrist and took a pulse.

She bites her lip.

“Sir! What's going on? ”

The other investigators came down from the horse late.

Cheryl lowered Geffer's eyelids.

“Geffer's dead. Everyone stop talking and gather around. ”

Larynx.

The raindrops fell.

* * *

The investigator is dead.

Among the investigators.

It can't be, and it shouldn't be.

“My servant is dead before my eyes. ”

Geffer's side is deeply wounded with a sharp weapon.

The horseman testifies that Gepher suddenly collapsed on his horse.

You have a stab wound, but you've never been stabbed with a weapon?

“There are many possibilities. Either Geffer killed himself without anyone knowing, or the horse is the accomplice to the murderer. ”

“What are you talking about! I've never seen you before in my life. ”

The wagon shook his hand in horror.

Cheryl was very sorry that this happened to her.

Geffera, a third-rate investigator, has only said hello a few times and is not that intimate.

‘I'm sorry.’

A first-class investigator couldn't stop his subordinate from dying in front of him.

If the unsub could not be caught, the rank would be demoted for a reason.

A splash of rain splashes under the corpse covered in mofo.

"You cannot be demoted to second grade for this reason alone. ’

Cheryl is from a fallen noble.

She considers between the nobles and the commoners. She chooses the commoners.

I've gone to great lengths from the ground up to boost my fallen status.

‘If we find out who did this, that's it. ’

Cheryl recruits investigators who were riding by Gepher's side.

However, they all just repeated the testimony that Gepher collapsed suddenly.

Even if I did a search myself, nothing suspicious came out.

“Sir, the rain is getting heavier. ”

“I don't need to say it. ”

Cheryl said irritably.

The dirt floor becomes muddy, and my whole body gets wet.

The enemy of the investigation is rain.

‘Evidence is disappearing. ’

When it rains, the corpse decomposes faster.

Wash away traces of his crimes.

In fact, the vast majority of current events are those that occurred on a rainy day.

‘We need to find out who did this before it's too late. ’

But how?

We don't have the proper manpower and we don't have enough situation here.

If you were a detective in a novel, you would have solved this case like you saw it, but it's not an abstract novel.

The rain started to pour.

“If you wait any longer, the wagon wheels will fall off! ”

The wagon lets out a song.

The investigators said with anxious eyes.

“I know what you're thinking, but it's best to load the body onto the wagon and move it to the investigation office. ”

Cheryl chewed on her lips.

‘Getting off the scene makes it more difficult to solve the case. ’

Footprints, testimony, circumstantial evidence, traces of remains.

All the clues to solve the case are gone because of the rainstorm.

Eventually, it will remain Cheryl's unprecedented practice and lead to downturn.

Rrrrrrrrrrrr!

Thunder rumbles.

Cheryl sighs.

There's nothing we can do.

Knock-knock.

In the raindrops.

Cheryl doesn't miss that small, crisp noise.

She glances at the place that sounds haunted.

It was a convoy wagon.

Knock-knock.

“Sir?"

The investigator questioned.

But Cheryl was already walking towards the wagon.

She couldn't figure out why.

Queek -

When he opened the door, the handcuffed man sat there like a ghost.

That bland sinner beyond the bars was like a degenerate statue.

Kang Yoon-soo tapped the wall with the back of his hands.

Knock-knock.

“I'm right in front of you. What's going on?”

“You're in trouble. ”

Cheryl was flawed, but not exposed.

Kang Yoon-soo said as if she was reading her mind.

“All your accomplishments will fall to this one incident. ”

“What does that mean? ”

“It's raining. ”

Kang Yoon-soo did something different.

A faint voice makes a mockery of you.

Cheryl turns on the twins.

“What are you trying to say? ”

“I have something to do with you. ”

She was annoyed for some reason.

It's just a little noise. Why do you think you came to this guy?

I felt drawn to something invisible.

Kang Yoon-soo looked at Cheryl and said.

“You have great intuition. He's good at catching up on other people's lies and picking out suspects. But timing and reasoning are more eloquent than other movements. ”

“Are you asking me to evaluate? ”

Cheryl was a little surprised.

Kang Yoon-soo's words were the complex she had as an investigator.

He said.

“Let me go for a while. ”

“Why?”

“I'll solve this case for you. ”

Cheryl frowns.

“That's some trick. ”

“You can keep the cuffs on. We don't have much time anyway. ”

Kang Yoon-soo looked at the rain pouring down the window.

There was no mistake.

Obviously, this leaves a slight chance of being solved.

‘Maybe.’

Cheryl felt something in her heart twitch.

It was my usual instinct.

Your most confident gut as an investigator.

“If you try anything, I'll cut off your legs immediately. ”

“I'll keep that in mind.”

Cheryl pulls out the key and opens the cage.

* * *

“Hey! What are you doing? What do you mean, you're suddenly bringing in a convoy of criminals? ”

“Wait. I have an idea. ”

Cheryl held onto the handcuffs of Kang Yoon-soo.

Unlike his subordinates, she was also confused.

‘I'm crazy. ’

An active investigator brought a convicted felon to the scene of the crime?

Demotion is not the end of this.

Even Cheryl believed in her own decisions, but it was a short walk on the outside.

‘I hope this man becomes a detective in a deduction novel. ’

Cheryl makes a splash.

Now or never, I had to face it.

“Examine the scene. The body's over there. ”

Cheryl pointed to the body with the mofo on it.

But her expectations were off.

Kang Yoon-soo was not a detective.

“Hey! Where are we going? ”

Cheryl raises her voice.

Kang Yoon-soo, handcuffed, walked in front of an investigator.

He was the investigator who just insisted on moving the body to the Bureau of Investigation.

“You are the culprit. ”

Kang Yoon-soo pointed out the culprit without even looking into the scene of the incident.
