EP74.
10th Floor, Suan Life Apartment A.
The typical house was filled with strangers.
Special investigators out to investigate and police officers deployed to install equipment.
“Put a camera on the veranda. Outside.”
“Like this? ”
“Oh, yeah. Keep an eye on the outside. Cover it with curtains. ”
“Ms. Grant, is there an outlet here? ”
A positioning device associated with the phone. Those wires fill the living room.
With the exception of Mongdu and Blackface, we sat across from our families on the couch.
“So, the missing child was two days ago. There was a blackmail call that night. ”
“Yes, it is. ”
The missing child's name is Choi Yuni.
He was 10 years old in the third grade of elementary school.
Just like Daeyoung, it is said that she broke up with a friend after going to school and his whereabouts were described.
“Would you mind sharing the details of your conversation? ”
The team leader asked carefully.
Yun's parents seemed to have dried up in two days.
My husband swept his puffy chin and said.
· · · Incidents in civic parks. He said it was his work, that he had Yuni. ”
“And?”
“If you don't want to be like him, listen to me, don't ever call the police. Mix cash and precious metals to prepare 100 million won. ”
Quite extraordinary.
While all ears and eyes were searching for him, he used it to mark his victims with certainty.
You're a man who can kill a child.
I'm not talking about bluffing.
He kept talking.
“It's hard to get 100 million ready right now, so I decided to give you 50 million won first. ”
But a hit-and-run just like the first one.
He pulls out his cigarette with a trembling hand.
But I didn't have the strength to light the fire, so I held it still and remembered.
“First, they asked me to come to a Korean restaurant in Jongno. It was deep in the market. ”
“A Korean restaurant?”
“And then Myeong-dong, Nam-young-dong, Shinchon. When I went to the meeting place, I made them move for every reason. I didn't even see his shadow. ”
Isara frowned and wrote it down.
“There are two reasons. Trying to make sure the tail is attached, or swinging the victim to make sure the advantage is tight. How did you get in touch with her? ”
“The phone came home, and it was a format that my wife passed back to me. ”
“Was there a long Tom between the phone and the phone? ”
“Yes. It was once every time I moved. ”
The man sighs while washing his clothes.
“I ended up disconnected from the last place and returned home. My father came and called the police. ”
“You haven't heard from him since? ”
“Yes, not yet. ”
Lucky for you.
It's only the beginning of the case.
He was determined to think the same as me, the team leader, and the director.
My husband bit his lip and asked us.
“New, the news said the first victim's child was alive until the last call. Is that correct?"
“Yes, that's the result of the soup analysis. ”
The team leader said something about his parents' faces.
If you think of relief and anxiety at the same time, it will be that look.
He'd be alive right now, but he'd be dead by then.
They turn their heads toward the chamber. An elderly man sitting on the living room and living room threshold.
“What are you looking at? ”
“Father, no matter how much you think about it, you're mistaken. Just pay him what he wants · ·”
He scoured his children and daughter-in-law with an old but experienced look.
The first complainant and the grandfather of the injured child.
“Nonsense! ”
The old man choked with an uneaged voice.
“Haven't you seen the news properly? You said he wouldn't show up even if you tried to pay him. Even when I went to see him this time. They do undercover investigations, undercover investigations. Are you going to make Yoon do the same? ”
There must have been a crack in the house.
Grandpa says not to go to the police as the unsub suggests, but to the parents and to the police.
Though it seems the old man's intentions were the end when his contact with him failed.
“If you're not shiny enough, If he finds out that he called the cops and Yun kills him! ”
“Why is Yoon dead? That's what a father would say. ”
“Father!"
When the rich man's emotions were heightened, the team leader who was in the middle mediated.
He raises his hand slowly. It's like he's trying to calm his breath.
“Mr. Yoon. Calm down, Grandpa's right. The more of an event like this, the more important it is. ”
“Can't you feel it, not your child? Our child's life depends on it. If you're so smart, then why is the first victim's kid back so bad? ”
My wife grabbed his arm because of his harsh words.
The policemen who were installing the equipment around them were also harassing the couple.
The man just sat down and bowed his head.
“Ha. I'm sorry. ”
“No, I understand. Yun is my father.You may be anxious, but you must trust us and follow us. ”
Isara also comforted them.
In a rational way, it wasn't just abstract.
“According to the unsub's traits, Yoon is most likely safe. Except for the murders, they're not violent, they're intimate. We'll get Yuni back safely. We'll do our best to investigate, so we appreciate your cooperation. ”
“Yes, Detective. Please. Please find my Yun. ”
Yun's mother grabbed Isara with dry hands.
As the front door opens, Mongdu and Blacks enter.
“I'm back. Is the installation done yet?" ”
“Yeah. What do you got? ”
They came back after investigating the place where Yoon disappeared.
Blackjack took off his shoes and looked at his family. I don't think I'm earning much.
“This time, the disappearance isn't even accurate. I heard the stationery owner saw us going out the back of the school, but it's been an alley ever since. ”
Future nightmares.
“Detectives have decided to do a closed-circuit video analysis. I'm tracking the location of the call that came home. Once you're done analyzing, we'll deploy to you. ”
Yun Yi's case was hanging on Embargo.
The top police took the opportunity to see him again and poured in all sorts of investigative manpower.
Depending on how we resolve this case, Embargo will be released and the article's headline will be determined.
A cop who kept his end of the bargain.
The police officer who installed the device reported to the team leader.
“Sir, it's all set up. Check it out. ”
How to listen and answer your home phone at the same time.
Several headsets were placed on the floor, and police took samples of toothbrushes and clothing items with Yuni's DNA on them.
Just in case.
The team leader looks at the police with a handset.
“One, two, three. ”
Dalkak
“Normal operation. You're done."
Married couples and old people, they look at strange families and give them clothing collars.
* * *
Tick-tock, tick-tock.
Quiet family.
Everyone seems to be frozen sitting on the couch.
The families of the victims who are staring at their Ivory phones.
And the team leader and I, Isara. Blackjack and Mongdu were alternating ambushes outside.
I bit my nails like my wife was nervous and muttered.
“What if I don't hear back from you? Then Yoon-yi Lee · ·”
“No, I'm sure they will. For money, he's got nothing now. It's only a matter of time. Hang in there. ”
Isara's assertion.
It's been a day since I've been working undercover at the victim's family home.
“What, are you trying to stop someone? ”
Team Leader's Soliloquy.
At the beginning of the case, he was the last person to call his husband to go to Shinchon.
It's already been two days, by the way.
Dental.
I heard Mongdu's voice on the team leader's radio.
I just got the location trace back to the house, and that day it was on the side of the gymnasium. It was all about Seongnam from a different pay phone.
“Crazy bastard. He's been calling me everywhere. He's been smoking. ”
The team leader radioed as he saw the family.
“What about voiceprint analysis? ”
Matches the culprit of the first case.
A unique voice that every person has. Voiceprint analysis was a confirmation of that.
In Mongdu's words, Isara took out her notebook.
“Less likely to be a culprit for now. We'll have to dig further, but there's no correlation between Da-young and Yun on the surface. ”
I listened to them and cleared my mind.
In my past life, there were potential suspects, but all of them were insufficient evidence.
The identity of the unknown creature, even though he came back from the dead.
No, it's "they."
You know, we had to be at least a two-man team to do it.
But if it's what I think it is, there's a last chance to catch it.
Besides, he's in a hurry.
He didn't get the money for the first one, so he's as desperate as any of us.
This is expected to happen sooner than the first.
And the problem is with these couples.
In my past life, couples were crucial problems, but I won't let them do that this time.
“Ha.”
The sigh of tired people is to be heard in the middle of a long, boring wait.
It was an hour after the same day, when everyone was halfway sober.
Tiritiri
The phone in the living room rang.
Even my grandfather who was lying down got up and crawled out of the living room.
We wore headsets urgently, and her husband put his hands on the phone.
“Here comes the signal. ”
The man's hands tremble severely.
A wife who holds his arm by his side like that.
The Team Leader has signaled.
“One, two, three. ”
Dalkak
At the same time as my husband lifted his handset, he picked up the handset from the tracking system.
We focused on the headset while killing our breath.
“Hello, hello. ”
The vibrating voice of a man.
[Father Yoon. How are you doing?]
I hear his voice.
A cool, emotionless tone. He relaxed and asked how the family was doing.
Crazy bastard.
The man grabbed the handset and swallowed the needle.
“My Yun. How do you do? Can you just hear me out? Please.”
A man who spends as much time as he can following our advice.
Isara next to her continues to turn her hands around.
More, to continue the conversation.
[Yoon is well. I'm sorry I couldn't make it out that day. It's not as good a location as I thought. In the meantime, are you ready?]
“Yes, I will. I got the rest of the money. I'll sell the house. I'll give you everything. So, please, just let us know how we're doing. Let me hear your voice. ”
[Soon you'll hear as much as you want. You didn't call the police, did you? I'm telling you, you won't see Yun when you report him. I'm watching you.]
My husband's face became blue.
And I turned my eyes meaninglessly out the window.
The idea of watching them, it came as if it were real.
I looked around just in case.
The team leader waves his palms in front of his eyes.
Wake up! ’
A team leader who winks at his attention.
He replied, swallowing his saliva.
“Of course. I never called the police. Never. Trust me. ”
[Good, then I'll let you know where to meet again as soon as I've made arrangements. Keep your belongings in your sport bag. Then.]
“Wait a minute, wait a minute! ”
Chit
A phone that is disconnected by the gentleman's loving cry.
Grieving, my husband struggled with his handset.
I fell to the ground, choking and bursting into tears.
At the same time, we took the headset off roughly.
The team leader turns to Isara.
I asked if the location had risen.
“No, I don't have three seconds. I think he's on the phone with his timer. ”
“Hah. Shit. Tell them to get a sports bag with a tracker. ”
The team leader instructed me.
I'm about to get up from my seat with a nod.
Tiritiri
The phone rings again.
We urgently sat down and picked up the headset.
My wife grabbed the phone instead of my husband who couldn't drown his tears.
The team leader sends a signal with his finger.
“One, two, three. ”
Dalkak
“Hello."
· · · Hello? This is Detective Kim from the Xuan Police Department. Is Detective Jung there? I haven't been able to reach you.
The voice of a detective.
My wife stared at us in panic.
“Ahh · ·”
The team leader and Isara also relaxed their bodies.
It was time to mutter in an annoying voice.
“Why call here · · ·”
I shut the team leader up with flashes of memory.
And I hand-drawn an X mark on the wife who was about to spit something out.
Tell me nothing, detective. We're not here.
My wife saw my behavior and mechanically rebuked me.
“No, I don't think you made the right call. There are no cops in my house. ”
Then, beyond the handset, the man's voice changed rapidly.
The voice of a cool man.
Unlike previous calls where there was no emotion, there seemed to be some joy mixed up.
I see, Ms. Yoon. Very well. Bring the money and come to the Party Tower. We've placed a note in the trash can in front of the front door.
