EP72.
The day of the press interview.
Mongdu and I went to work and panicked.
Blacks and team leaders who sit shyly with their uniforms taken out or worn at special promotions.
“Wow, you're here. ”
They avoided our eyes because they were embarrassed.
I sighed and checked the clock.
10: 00 a.m. The press will be here any minute.
Mongdu sat at his desk and asked his two brothers, "This is ridiculous."
“You only wore that for an interview that lasted 30 minutes? ”
“Dude, 30 minutes of interviews, 30 years of photos. You don't even know. Right, nigga? ”
“Of course. My brother knows something. ”
In a long time, the two of them laughed, pretending to be killed. Oh, shit.
Mongdu and I sighed with our eyes open.
Bloop.
“Hello, Detectives! ”
Then the door opens and you hear a soft greeting.
A woman with a big camera around her neck and a man with a bundle of notebooks.
It was a simple group of journalists.
They were both wearing the same design round glasses, but they were visuals who wanted to work for the newspaper if anyone didn't know them.
“Reporter Kang? Have a seat over here.”
The team leader stands up and greets them.
Reporters spit out elasticity while looking inside the office.
“Wow, this is a nicer office than I thought. ”
“Special investigative unit. Haha!”
“Well, then, as you said, we're all busy! ”
The reporter sat on the couch and took out his recorder and laptop.
“Let's make this quick? ”
* * *
The interview was conducted fairly quickly.
The difficult things to talk about at work were moderately cut off, and most of the answers were to the team leader and blacksmith.
Everything that's ever happened.
Starting with the forks and the Yakuza gambling debentures.
They truly sparkle.
“You're amazing. I've interviewed a lot of policemen before, but I've never seen anyone like this before. ”
“Haha! What the hell! ”
The team leader scratched his head in embarrassment.
“And Captain Goo Ji-hoon. I don't usually travel with people under penalties, do you have any particular beliefs or anything like that? ”
The question came to me.
I thought about it for a moment and then shook my head.
“Well, that's pretty definitive. Just because you're a cop, you catch the bad guys. ”
Kang reporter shuts up for a moment as if he was thinking of something.
A camera reporter next to him pokes him in the side with his elbow.
Then came a vigorous reporter.
“Oh, I'm sorry. So, whoever it is, he'll do his job. ”
What is it? It's a little weird.
I looked carefully with the River Journalist.
You seem to have some intention of hiding something, but you don't know it yet.
“Yes. As long as I'm a cop, I have a job to do. ”
A strong journalist smiled shallow.
A satisfactory answer. His eyes were strangely blooming, like black beans.
“I see. That's, that's cool. We look forward to working with you moving forward. ”
Me and the River Journalist ended our conversation with a ritual smile. The camera reporter who was sitting next to him stood up and said,
“Detective, then. Would you like to do one last cut? ”
“Oh! Great! ”
“How do you propose to get drunk? ”
The Team Leader and Blacksmith stood up and tidied up their lapels.
The two stand in the middle, me and Mongdu standing beside each other.
We put out our right hand in front of us to fight.
Kang reporter folded his arms and watched, and the camera reporter adjusted the angle.
“Here we go. Detectives, good luck! One, two! Three!”
“Fight!”
Pow!
Tiritiri
Office phone that buzzes at the same time the camera shutter explodes.
Mongdu, who was closest, picked up her handset, asking reporters for forgiveness.
“Yes, Special Investigations Unit. ”
And his face is getting stiffer.
Reading the unusual atmosphere, journalists started packing Juju Island equipment.
Team Leader and Blacksmith also approached Mongdu.
“Yes, I understand. Let's move quickly.”
Dalkak
Hanging up the phone, River reporter told us.
“You seem busy, so we'll be going now. Thank you for your interview today, but please be careful not to release any information elsewhere. ”
“Yes, thank you. ”
“The knight will be up soon. Oh, this is my card. ”
Kang gave his business cards to his team members.
And he said with a secret smile to me.
“We'll be in touch if there's a good sauce. Police, journalists and prosecutors are inextricable. I say this with my own mouth, but I'm a pretty good tipster. ”
I nodded with a journalist's card.
I don't know what you mean, but you'll find out in time.
“You're welcome anytime for me. ”
“Of course. Thank you. I'll get back to you before the article goes up. Thank you all for your efforts. ”
Kang reporter left the office with the camera reporter.
As soon as I saw them leave, the team members rushed to Mongdu.
“Why? What's going on? ”
Mongdu clenched his lips and changed his shoes.
“A body was found in a civic park. ”
The largest park in Suan Goo.
It was a popular cultural park not far from the Falls.
A body in a place like that?
However, Mongdu's face did not know that it was not a normal case.
“And what about the discoverer? ”
Blacksmith also asked while taking the car key.
“Homeless guy found it. Black Climbing Bag in the trash can. It looked fine on the outside, but it was left behind. ”
“Oh, you must be shocked. ”
We walked down the stairs and listened to Mondu.
“The remains are intact, so we should be able to I.D. them. The police are preserving the scene right now. Step on it. ”
“Okay. You've been in touch with the county head, right? ”
“Yes. You were also on site. ”
Blacksmith turns the car key and treads heavily on Axel.
But here's the question.
The team leader asked Mongdu as if it was strange.
“Wait. You said the body was intact. That's all you got in your backpack? ”
Mondun gazed at him silently.
Holy shit. I closed my eyes and recited the curse.
The rest of the team recognized the intent and kept their mouths shut.
* * *
Weekday civic parks.
It was just after noon, but there were a lot of people.
Most of them were on the side of a large tree, but the police force was too noisy.
“Oh, my God. What's going on? ”
“This is crazy. Who the hell is this?"
“Hey! Don't take a picture! ”
“Please be in control. Site conservation, please! ”
“Mom! What are you guys doing here? ”
We went forward through the people.
As I lift my head across the polyline, what I see is a garbage can and a bench.
Beneath the big trees, they brought about a peaceful landscape.
Unless you're a cop and a bystander.
“Welcome.”
A policeman greets us with a mask and gloves.
The team approaches the scene of the incident.
A black climbing bag placed next to a trash can.
It was because of the hot weather that the bugs started twisting.
The team leader carefully opens the entrance with a clasp.
“Ha.”
Small fingers and headaches.
The pink clothes you're wearing are muddied.
The child closed his eyes tightly.
I turned my head as if it was hard to see.
“Me. Shit. I've seen all the crazy bodies. I can't even look at this. ”
“Give me the camera. ”
Chalk
Mongdu picked up the photo machine and began to leave a scene photo.
“I'm going to have to move the whole bag. How far is the laddoo? ”
“They'll be here soon. If you're gonna do that, go to the park ranger's office and clear out the circuit. A witness. Oh, a homeless witness. Where are the witnesses? ”
A police officer approached the team leader and reported.
“I'm sitting over there in the courtyard. Give me some water · ·"
“You hear me? Go get your statement. ”
Blacksmith flinches his legs in the direction of the team leader.
Mongdu and I rushed to leave photos, searching for evidence that might be under the trash.
It was then.
“Ah, wait a minute. ”
“Step aside. Coming through. ”
Through the crowd, two men appeared.
Identity card for the police who stopped them.
Another detective.
We turn our heads to the sudden appearance of a figure.
They glared at us lightly.
“You're from the Xuan Police Department, right? ”
“But?”
“We're from Homicide. Uh, do you mind if I examine the body? ”
The Damjeong-gu police station is next to Sooan-gu, the Damjeong-gu police station.
“That doesn't matter. What brings you here?"
When the team leader asked, the detective took a picture out of his pocket.
It was a picture of a junior high school girl or a kindergarten girl.
Big smiles. It feels strange.
“There was a phone call about a child being kidnapped a full month ago. ”
While one detective explains the case, the other one approaches the bag and looks inside.
“Kidnapped in the middle of a school trip, and he threatened to never tell the police when he asked for money. ”
Oh, come on.
“So I didn't report it to the police until the first day and the next day, and I put it in my in-laws' place. I was sorry to hear about the paranormal investigation, but I had some contact with someone who wanted to pass on the money. This guy knows how to dive. ”
One of the detectives looking through the bag nods.
“You're a kidnapped victim. Sunbae.”
The detective who explained it to us put his forehead on.
Worst case scenario ever.
“The last time I heard from him was two weeks ago. There was virtually no trace of it, so I wanted to move on to the American case, but I came here because I heard that the body of a child was found on the inside of an eyeball. ”
Another detective picked up his cell phone and reported the matter to his jurisdiction.
The team leader folds his arms and frowns.
“So it's not just a murder, it's a kidnapping. Son of a bitch. Can I get some background on the investigation? ”
“Oh, yeah. Yeah, we're on another case now, too. ”
The detective frowned and agreed.
Above all, the body was found crossing the local border, and since it was before this week, it would have been treated as a closed case.
By the way,
In fact, abductions happen frequently.
Statistically speaking, one or two things happen a week.
But it was extremely rare that it led to murder.
I asked Detective Doubtful.
“Did he make any unusual demands? ”
“Oh, yeah. There was. Those guys who did this, they were rolling around in the grass. What did he say? He asked for gold at first. ”
I focused my nerves on what the detective said.
I think it's getting clearer.
This case in my past life.
“The next time they thought it was too much, they asked for money on the highway. Crazy bastard. Anyway, I didn't show him what was wrong. ”
I nodded in a way that I knew, catching the fading spirit.
I understand. I'm aware of the case.
In his past life, the unsub may be in a hurry to make money, or he may kidnap another child and demand money.
‘Another report will come soon. ’
However, a few mistakes and misfortunes were made during the investigation.
They overlap, and eventually the unsub can't catch them forever.
It was left as a permanent migraine case until I died.
But this time it's different.
No mistakes. No misfortunes.
I felt a tremor coming from my back.
“I can do it. ”
This time we can definitely catch the culprit.
I clenched two fists.
