EP114. Their Reasons

My answer as confident as I can. Lee Mi-suk frowned. I asked for it, but it looks like I'm impressed with my unexpected confidence. John Pollen, on the other hand, thanked me for my generous offer.

“Well, I have plans today, so don't get up. I'm supposed to introduce the gallery VIP members to Mr. John Pollen. You can go back now, you look busy. ”

Im Sook smiled gracefully at the end. You know, relaxation, dominance. An indefinite expression. However, it was clear that there were many unfortunate intentions.

“Take good care of her. Let's face it. ”

I shook my hand, smiling lightly. Like your filthy poison is nothing.

“Yes, don't worry. But can he see me? ”

Then I pointed to Iron Dragon and asked John Pollen. Director Kim seemed to be seeking understanding in the middle. I don't know what he whispered, but John Pollen opens his eyes wide, quite surprised.

“Oh, my God. It's amazing!"

A foreigner applauding me and praising Iron Dragon. I tapped my shoulder in a way that said it was okay. I pricked Director Kim's side and asked.

“What did you say? ”

“I put some seasoning on it. The young master is the savior of his life. It seems to be in a similar context. ”

“What the heck.”

“I think I have a few more Korean disciples with me. You told me to have a good time with Mr. Chul-yong. ”

I thanked John Pollen with a smile on my face. One of the few non-English I can do.

“Thank you!”

I led John Pollen and Lady Im Sook to Chairman Kim. It is said to be the escort of this lady, but I think I went to see Yeouido. You look like you've been together a long time. You're passionate.

“How are you? ”

Lee Cheol-yong sat across from me and did not erase his strange expression.

“I didn't expect to see you here like this. Oh, my goodness. How am I doing? I've never seen you in a hospital before. ”

He scratches his head and smiles shyly. A gesture of refusal and regret. The sigh that came out of his mouth was the sound of reminiscence.

“Yun, after that, I couldn't go to school. So I quit.”

I nodded and forgot the candy in front of me. It's a fine reception room, so it melts as soon as you put it in.

“But I can't help but notice that Mr. Ko Ji-hoon's face keeps ringing. ”

“Yes? Not a chance. ”

When I hated and refused, Lee Cheolyong laughed loudly.

“That's not what I meant. ”

“I know. I'm just kidding.”

“I quit school, but I couldn't let go of the art. I don't think it's right to give up after being helped by a stranger. ”

“That's good thinking. I'd be a little sad if I quit. ”

“I didn't have any sense of humor in Korea, and I wanted to go to a foreign country that I used to admire and bump into. But when I got lucky, I realized I was studying under a teacher named John Pollen. ”

“It looks like the fortunes you've accumulated have burst at once. ”

“Haha. That's right. I was really lucky to be part of this project. A friend of mine who was supposed to be in the hospital was in a car accident. Substitute. Substitute. ”

“They say you're good at it if you're lucky. Do you want to go back after the project? ”

“Of course. I'll change my life until I succeed. ”

I was strangely impressed and unable to connect the words. The person I helped went out into the big world and found the meaning of life. Moreover, he was a man in my position in my past life. It felt as if I was spreading my wings. I, too, would have lived such a wonderful life if someone had helped me, or if I had any luck.

“This is how you say it, but it's counter-inforced. It's hard to wait for the plane to pay. You know the waterfront, right? Whoa. Crazy. Crazy.”

We left our cars and teas in front of us, and we started to blossom like our old classmates. The story of his first visit to England, the racial discrimination he went through. and finally stepping into the shoes of an amateur painter. I spoke carefully in the car.

“It's nice to see. ”

Iron who knew what I meant smiled bitterly.

“I'd like to see Yuna go crazy sometimes, but she's in a foreign country, so it's a little less. It seems to be alive in Korea. I can't help it. We're trying to put the past behind us. ”

Mature, but still in pain. I naturally twist my tail. It was his turn to talk about the future and the present, not the past.

“We'll hear more when we receive the case, but tell us more. You said the painting was stolen before, so this is the second time around? ”

That's enough for a 'thieving painter’ tag. Ordinary people get hit once in their lives.

“He's traumatized, so he's usually very secure. but it's a little dull when it comes to work. Since he lives as a wealthy Bondi, his employer tells him to do it himself. When working.”

I took out the notebook and recorded the words Lee Cheolyong said.

“I came in after lunch that day, and the teacher burst into the bathroom saying something was wrong. We think it's coming again. ”

“That?”

He said, "Bipolar. You're a little overwhelmed. ”

A wealthy native foreigner. And a renowned artist. Character traits are expected. Lee Cheol-yong forgot to follow me for candy.

“But is the notice, is it real? It's not a movie. I've never seen anything like it. ”

“This? Hmm. It's real, but it's fake.”

“Yes?”

“You'll see. Oh, by the way, you got this card in the mail from the high-light gallery, right? ”

“That's what I heard. ”

“Where are you staying? ”

“The gallery has arranged for you to stay at a hotel. The bathroom is a big house in South Korea. ”

Wow. You spent some money on the project. A theft from a place like that, this is a little interesting. I stood up and signaled to him to get out.

“You didn't eat? They went to eat with each other, so let's eat with each other. What would you like to eat · · ·. ”

“Cheolyong.”

The entrance to the exhibition hall. The long-haired woman who was standing there called Iron Dragon.

“Address book. Aren't you going to eat? ”

Do artists have a unique atmosphere? The woman who was called an auditorium showed quite an attractive posture despite her modest appearance.

“Uh, I don't want to eat. I'm just gonna go in and get some rest. I thought I'd come with you because you don't want to eat. ”

She winked at me and asked me who it was. Then Lee Cheol-yong greets me and her.

“This is my motivator, Choi Yeon-seo. This is Captain Gu Ji-hoon. He's a cop. He's the gallery chief's son. ”

“Police? It's the theft. ”

“Yes, please take good care of your reference when you receive the case. ”

She says yes to my words. An awkward silence flows in contrast to the noisy sounds of the gallery. Looks like something to do with Iron Yong. I had to check the watch and put it on my forehead.

“Oops. I forgot I had an appointment. Mr. Cheolyong, we'll discuss the details over drinks next time. ”

“· · Sure. ”

“Sure. I'll go first. We'll get back to you as soon as we have a case. ”

I greeted them both and left the gallery.

* * *

A few days later, John Pollen's case was officially filed and headquarters were set up in the Office of Special Investigations Unit.

“What a strange fellow. ”

A scanned copy of the trailer. Blacksmith mutters with a paper that he can't understand. The original is under close scrutiny in the number of noodles. There won't be any fingerprints or any evidence whatsoever.

“Are you crazy or am I? ”

“The former, of course. I've never seen a notice like this before in my life. The two missing pieces are probably related to this guy, too. ”

“You idiot. I don't hate it. Phew.”

The blacksmith glances at the notice. Then the team leader looks up and confirms the progress of the investigation.

“We're almost done analyzing the CCTV, right? We're low on supplies.”

“Yes, the internal closed circuit was down because I didn't want to be disturbed in the work. This is a residential space, so it may have been a privacy violation. ”

“What's on the outside? ”

“There's no trace. We also received and analyzed all the closed circuit of the houses nearby, and there was no suspicious activity. ”

“Hmm. Ghosts will weep. ”

I put down the notice I was looking at and asked again.

“Can you tell me what the two missing paintings are? ”

“Life's work was blah, blah, and they didn't tell me the details. Instead, they called it a woman's painting. ”

“That's ridiculous. I need you to tell me what it is so I can find it or not. I don't know what you're painting, but how do you grease a fisherman? ”

People who deal in obscene valuables or art. We called them fortune-tellers.

“I know it's a John Pollen painting because it's unique. Looks like we're gonna have to scrub out the moving property. ”

“Phew. That's a dog winner. What about the time stamp on the notice? ”

About a week until the date you promised to steal the Puppy and the Girls. It was a fairly hazy time.

“If I can't catch it, I'll catch it in the field. Even the high-light side has five times the security. Turning on the lights at night. ”

“How can you steal something like that? I'll look away and give up leverage. In my opinion, it takes a little time for the fortune tellers to poke. ”

“Yeah, you can't steal it. Maybe he's using his tricks. ”

While giving opinions on the direction of the investigation, Mongdu told an important story. I intervened without missing the gap.

“Tricks? What tricks? ”

“Why is that? Pickpocket tricks. ”

My boss put down the ballpoint pen.

· · · Catch the eye on one side, catch the eye on the other. ”

“Faykra? ”

I shrugged my shoulders when I asked the question. I don't need to pretend to know any better than you do. Mongdu nodded and added credibility.

“Yeah, well, there's no such thing as a common denominator. It's perfectly normal to interpret it that way. ”

“Then turn your gaze and your guard over to the museum and go after them where? ”

A soliloquy question from the team leader. We came up with the same idea at the same time. The team members' faces brighten as if the paths of an obstinate investigation had been pierced.

“Let's keep it secure. I don't know what he is. ”

“Yes, I understand. ”

“Now, let's poke and provoke and secure the suspect. Expand the area, analyze closed circuits, and capture testimony while probing. Turn the security cameras at the high-light gallery and check with the caterer. ”

“Okay.”

The team leader clapped his hands and we got up busy. I also left the office with my car keys. But I'm headed to Yongsan alleyway, not Hannam-dong's bathroom. I climbed the steps of the building, past the familiar streets.

Pibby, Pibby, Pibby.

A door that opens with a loud cuckoo sound. I stepped inside and smiled brightly.

“You don't even ask me who I am anymore. ”

Long time no see, Yongsan Grandpa. Burico and his glasses remained unchanged.

“It's only for people who come. What else do you need today? ”

“Habitat.”

I carefully called out its name and looked into the eyes of the main boss. But there's nothing to react to.

“What's a comet? ”

“Give me the last one he took. ”

“I wonder what else I'm going to do this time. Hold on a second. Most recent, I'd say. ”

The boss pulls the wheelchair into the interior warehouse. Then I hand over one of the heavy bags.

“He picked it up once and there aren't many properties. ”

It means that it will be a bit expensive. However, I opened my bag and examined its contents. It's full of all sorts of things.

“Looks like you're trying to get it right. ”

Simple but good quality makeup tools. And the soil key I used at the amusement park. Eavesdroppers and mini cutters, etc. · · ·

“Does he come here often? ”

“What brings you here? Same thing. I'm going to forget my face. I can't reach him. ”

I told him to pay the price.

“You'll see a lot of it soon. Whenever you want.”

He stopped counting the bills. But I turned the wheelchair as if I didn't want to put meaning into what I said.

“What are you talking about? I wish I could sleep with my face on and not wander around like that. ”

“Of course. Now we have to settle down. ”

In a cozy cell, the President looks at my smile and straightens his glasses. I waved my hand. The calculations are done, which means you should go.

“I'll be going, then. I'll see you three soon. ”
