EP155. The Couple's Story

“Oh, my God. What's going on? ”

My brother-in-law opens his mouth. I'm embarrassed. I don't know what to do. He will, too, four generations of sedans and four bodyguards lining up on the sidewalk. I focused on people's attention just by being.

“Mom!"

Uni was held in the arms of the tallest of them all. The team leader scratches his chin and smiles.

“My youngest introduced them, and they'll take care of the kids and stand guard for a while. He's a really good cook. ”

My brother-in-law frowned like a crucian fish. I have a lot to say, but it's not coming out easily. Uni falls asleep in the guard's arms, wondering what's so exciting about it.

“Mom, I think I'm a princess. Princess!”

I told you to send someone good to babysit, and you found someone good enough to fit in. The bodyguard bows as he puts on his sunglasses.

“Greetings. We recommend that you stay with your client if possible, but as there are a large number of people, we should proceed in a rotational format. ”

The team leader smiled shyly and convinced his brother-in-law. Even with security, you suddenly bring strangers into the house.

“I'm going back to work. Then tell them to sleep in my room because it's empty. The youngest discount is so generous that there is no opportunity like this. Honey."

Then I realized what was going on. I sigh as I sweep my head down. Blackouts, Mongdu, and I are nervous, staggering back to the bongo car.

“No big deal on the side of the road, right? ”

“If it was my wife, I would have been beaten already. ”

However, unlike I expected, his voice was soft. A smile that spreads subtly. I feel relieved.

“Good. I was worried about quitting. I was uncomfortable watching him suffer day and night. We have to live with what people do. ”

Mischievous brother-in-law's words. I could guess why I didn't inform the team leader of the threat. Caring and worrying, afraid you might get in the way of work or feel sorry for yourself.

“Good job getting married, boss. ”

I muttered admirably. The impressed team leader holds her two hands.

“I'll get him as soon as I can. So take care of yourself. Call me as soon as you get something. ”

“Okay, I get it. Let's not think about resting until we become a uni adult. I'll work hard. ”

“But I don't get paid because I'm on leave. ”

“What? Are you kidding? ”

My brow frowned as I sprayed my hands. The team leader approaches Uni with a smile in the room. A goodbye kiss for your daughter. Mongdu saw it and got in the car and started it.

“Take good care of her. ”

“Don't worry. Young Master.”

I asked the guards in particular, and said hello to my brother-in-law. The team leader climbed into the bongo car, finishing a loving finish with his family.

* * *

“Since you touched me, take responsibility. Don't even think about going home for a while. ”

“Okay, that's it. ”

The Office of Special Investigation Unit. It seems like it's been quite a while since we've been together. The team leader sat down and threw the removable disc back at me.

“Most likely the same person as the bully and the blackmailer, but keep in mind that if not, Me and Mongdu focus on the blackmailer, analyze the blackout and closure circuits. ”

That's a good choice, because no matter how hard the video, it's hard to watch her get lynched. Blacksmith nods and opens his laptop.

“Okay. I'll let you know as soon as I get a look at the killer. A stranger is not the end of the game. ”

“It won't be that easy. He's pretty dense. Let's see. Since it's 11: 00 tonight, I guess noodles are due tomorrow morning, right? ”

The team leader looks at the clock and mutters. The number of noodles I heard on my way back to the police station. A quest was made by handing over the entire crate. Until the evidence comes back, video analytics are the best and only way.

“Until then, Mongdu and I are rolling the video around the apartment, kindergarten and home again. ”

“Yes, I understand. ”

After responding gracefully, we focused our attention on our screens. How much time has passed. The office was filled with only the sound of pressing the space bar.

Percussion

A black box of parked cars. I twisted my chin and frowned. Rich data volume and poor image quality. But the angle. The angle was a problem. Since it only shows a part of the front and rear, only the appearance of the older water passing to the side is confirmed.

“Blackie. Show me the map. ”

On my request, the blinker takes out a small map from my pocket. My brother's route to work was hand-drawn.

“We checked nine from 5090 to 1336. I'm passing by your car, but there's no one behind me yet. I think it's just past this alley. ”

“Wait. I'm looking at 4582. This was parked in front of an alley the day of the murder. Behind here. ”

Blackjack speeds up time on my words. The cars were parked near the scene that day, but they were located separately, so I had to check each time my brother-in-law was taken. He discovers something and stops.

“Yes, I do. Past the alley. A mask on a black hat. Hey, criminals all dress the same as uniforms. ”

If it's just past the alley, it means they know the route and the target for sure. There was a significant decrease in the likelihood of simple puffiness. Mongdu and his team leader rush into our conversation.

“Is it up?”

“It's ambiguous. It's too sturdy to say it's up. ”

The team leader frowned and looked at the video. This eye line looks like it's going to be torn apart by a pixel.

“But now that I've got my tail, it's only a matter of time before I catch a pirate. I'll get a local CCTV as soon as I light up. You're the youngest. Pull up the map again. Get this son of a bitch in line. ”

“Yes, one moment. ”

It was said to be sunny, but it was already sunny outside the window. Sun will rise in the blink of an eye. I printed the map and asked Mongdu.

“Is there something wrong with you? ”

“No, not really. We don't even know when the letters and the box are coming, so the timeline is too wide. I'm looking at the date the bubble was mentioned."

Unique halfway across the screen. He is waiting for the kindergarten bus with his friends. It's uniquely cute if it's clicked. Uni leans in to greet the bus driver.

“The youngest. A map! ”

“Oh, I'm sorry. ”

I hurried toward the urge of the blink and laid down the paper. Time zones indicated the unsub's location, allowing us to determine roughly which direction he came from and where he went. Blackouts whisper in circles.

“Here and here. There should be a closed circuit in this convenience store. If we keep going, we'll be able to see his face. Apparently, there's no personal vehicle. ”

“Yawn. That's a relief. I have a reservation to work hard on. The last time you looked at a car, you almost missed it. ”

I stretched my base to cool off. We've analyzed most of the CCTV footage we have, and we found traces of the unsub. The clock says 5: 30 in the morning. At sunrise, we'll move on to the next investigation. I lay at my desk, slowly closing my eyes.

“Are you asleep?"

“No, I'm just closing my eyes. ”

“Yes. Zahra. I'll wake you up on your way out. ”

I blinked silently. And as the film broke, I fell into a deep sleep.

* * *

Kuang!

Sudden commotion. I wink and open my eyes. The sun coming in through the window is bright, whether the sun is floating in the sky. Sleeping on the couch. It also appears to wake up surprised.

“You said you were up?”

“· · · on? ”

Me and Mongdu, who don't know the language. Blackjack sitting at his desk laughs and shakes a bunch of documents. A cover marked with a number of noodles. Ah, you mean the evidence analysis.

“Did you scratch the video? ”

“I scratched it all. You bastard.”

The team leader throws the removable disc over the couch. Looks like they're following a closed circuit on our behalf.

“Have you been alone? Wake me up.”

“That's it. I'm just circling around. What did the noodles say? ”

He looked at the report and briefly explained.

“Once detected in the letter, there were three fingerprints. Two of them are my older brother and my brother-in-law, and the other one is unregistered. ”

No fingerprint registration.

“You must be an outlaw or a minor. ”

“However, in terms of size, I urge you to have a child's. This is the only fingerprint found in the letter itself. ”

Despite disappointing results, the black face is bright. Then Mongdu, who was listening in a daze, mutters.

“· · Envelope. What about the envelope?”

“Bingo! Exactly. ”

Blacks flick their fingers and cheer.

“The inside of the envelope, to be exact. When you take out a new envelope and write it, you put your fingers in it to make room. That's when this son of a bitch's fingerprints got buried. ”

“You're meticulous, Detective. Check there.”

“At first, he was trying to do it outside the envelope, but he was thinking about it because nothing came out. Then he moved like a simulation, and his hands went inside. ”

Mongdu wakes up with his eyes wide open.

“That's usually unconscious. They probably didn't even recognize it. Anyway, if the fingerprints come back, it could be suspect specific. ”

“Carrots.”

The blink pulled a piece of paper out of the report and put it on the table. Named Nam Byung-min. Aged 42 years, registered residence was Gyeonggi-do. Familiar face. If it's characteristic, it's a dark eyebrow.

“You know what? ”

Despite Mongdu's question, the team leader only tilted his head.

“You look familiar, but I don't know. ”

“It's weird to remember. How many people have we met so far? And there's no impact. ”

Two years ago, we received a domestic violence complaint here. Having been sentenced to imprisonment, I wondered.

“Domestic violence? I mean, this is mainly in the gynecology department. You're not even the chief of police. ”

The three of us looked at the team leader at the same time. The two have nothing to do with it in writing. The team leader closes his eyes, grunting and recalling.

“2 years ago · · · Nam Byung-min · · · domestic violence · · · ·. ”

I don't think it's gonna come out right away. We left the team leader behind and searched his identity thoroughly.

“It's been about half a year since I lost my sentence. It's okay in time.”

“But it's rare to be sentenced for domestic violence. How much garbage would he have to go to jail for? ”

Domestic violence. Based on the crimes that occur in close proximity, the social atmosphere or response is not the same as other crimes. Mainly for service or fines. Or it often leads to divorce.

“I think we should apply for more data on this. Team leader just picked up a closed circuit, so one of you can use the video to triangulate his position. One person works with intelligence to determine residence. Well, we can divide it like this. ”

“Definitely different from a registered residence and an actual residence. ”

The team leader is still thinking about it, so we have to share our roles. I checked his family relationships.

“But you and your wife aren't divorced yet? ”

“Yeah? That's weird again. ”

“My wife and my two children. Residence registration is in Seoul. His name is Min Kyung Choi. They must be in elementary school. ”

I said, the team leader flashes.

“Min Kyung Choi?”

“Do you know him? ”

“Ah, Min Kyung Choi. All right, all right. ”

He springs out an elastic memory of something that comes to mind.

“That person, Min Kyung Choi. He was my wife's old coworker. Not at work now, but before. ”

“Aha.”

He sat on the couch and remembered what had happened before. How the two of you and the team leader got involved.
