◈Episode 120◈

Buffering

The people in the restaurant were chattering like crazy.

“There’s a murderer in here?”

“I think that’s what it sounded like to my ears······.”

“No way? Most of these things are caused by grudges. Then it must be the hotel staff’s doing?”

“I’m scared and can’t stay in a place like this. I’m going home right now!”

“That won’t do······.”

-Bang, bang, bang!

Detective Han Yeong-su said, hitting the table.

“Everyone, please be quiet. I’m sorry to ask you this, but… there may be a murderer among you. I ask for your cooperation once again.”

“What, what did you say? It’s a murder case!”

“Are you saying there is a criminal among us?”

“That’s ridiculous! I’m calling my lawyer right now.”

Hotel guests began to become confused.

“Everyone, calm down.”

“Are we finally getting to the bottom of this situation?”

Even when detective Han Yeong-su steps in, there are times when things can’t be controlled.

“Be quiet!”

As soon as Kim Hye-ran came out, everything calmed down.

“It’s not helpful for us to keep talking like this. We need to cooperate with the detectives’ investigation as much as possible. That way, we can all go home quickly.”

The woman in outdoor gear said.

“So you’re saying there’s a murderer here who killed the hotel manager?”

“Don’t worry. The detectives will still be there, and my police officer son will protect you.”

“Ah, why~?”

Kim Han-gyeol’s expression clearly showed his disapproval.

However, the response from hotel guests whose anxiety was at its peak was heated.

“That’s right, actress Kim Hye-ran’s son was a police officer. He went from being a huge troublemaker to a detective in the unsolved cases unit.”

“The same cold case unit that just caught the serial killer who killed 38 people!”

“I feel completely at ease when I am with actress Kim Hye-ran’s son.”

The chaotic situation quickly became stable.

Kim Hye-ran did not miss this and told the hotel guests.

“The fastest way to get out of here is to help the police investigation. If you’re scared to stay in your room, you can come here. I’ll pay for all the expenses of staying here.”

The hotel guests’ response was enthusiastic.

“As expected, it’s Kim Hye-ran. She’s so cool!”

“How can you not like it?”

Kim Han-gyeol whispered to Shin Dae-seong.

‘Even in the political world, there is a huge amount of love calls towards mothers.’

‘I also want to be scouted by the special task force for unsolved cases······.’

Detective Han Young-soo expressed his gratitude to Kim Hye-ran.

“Thank you, Ms. Kim Hye-ran. Thanks to you, we were able to quickly alleviate the complaints of hotel guests.”

“No, my son is a police officer too. Of course he should help. If you need anything, please let me know at any time.”

“I really want to do that. We are facing a serious manpower shortage at our office.”

Soon after, detective Han Yeong-su spoke to the hotel guests who had found stability.

“Please stay in your room or here if possible. This is for your safety. And we will do our best to resolve the matter as quickly as possible.”

* * *

A restaurant that has become a haven for hotel guests.

A lot of people gathered around Kim Hye-ran and Shim Su-jin.

“How come your skin is so nice?”

Kim Hye-ran answered honestly.

“It’s 7 to 3. Innate is 7, and managing is 3. As you get older, the 7 side breaks down, so you have to manage it more.”

The woman suspected of infidelity asked.

“What brings you here?”

“I’m going to help Jaesung with his homework. Jaesung is Soojin’s son. He’s really good at studying.”

“What kind of homework are you doing here?”

“It’s a dinosaur.”

“Huh? Oh, a dinosaur?”

Shin Dae-seong talked with detective Han Yeong-su.

“Did you get the general manager’s signature?”

“Not yet. But there’s a high chance that it was murder. The face was badly damaged, too.”

“Is this murder out of resentment?”

“As of now, that seems most likely.”

“But why are there only two detectives on the scene? There’s a murder case.”

Detective Han Yeong-su answered with an awkward smile.

“As I mentioned earlier, our office is severely understaffed. There was a corruption scandal and we were in a state of chaos.”

“Have you not filled your positions yet?”

“A few people have been quickly added, but we are still in the adaptation phase.”

“It looks like you’ve been home for quite some time.”

“Do you have tea?”

Shin Dae-seong said with a sly smile.

“People who are usually taken care of by their wives can’t help but show it.”

“My wife had a late baby······.”

“Congratulations.”

“They are triplets.”

“······.”

“All my friends reacted the same way. Before we knew it, the word ‘twins’ had become a taboo word in our household.”

“When is your due date?”

Detective Han Yeong-su answered with a relieved expression.

“It’s over. I’m hospitalized for a natural birth.”

“It won’t be easy to give birth to triplets naturally······.”

“That’s right. How much harder would it be to give birth to triplets alone, without a husband······.”

Shin Dae-seong felt an enormous sense of sadness.

“We will also do our best to help.”

“I feel encouraged when Detective Shin says that.”

“It seems like you didn’t get much sleep?”

“Do criminals commit crimes while receiving leniency from the police? They sleep long enough to avoid death.”

Shin Dae-seong was more concerned about his father’s health than the triplets’.

A young detective from Namhae Police Station approached me.

“How do I conduct a reference investigation?”

“Let’s get started right here. We’re all from out of town.”

“Who should we start with?”

“Hey~ Let’s start with the woman who is Chairman Wang’s granddaughter.”

Detective Han Yeong-su nodded at the window seat.

Wang Mina was drinking coffee alone.

“The atmosphere is quite tense.”

“I know······.”

“The moment we bring up the case, I think dozens of lawyers will come running.”

“Whether there are dozens or hundreds of people, we have to do our job.”

This is when Han Yeong-su and the young detective try to approach her.

-Zeeing- Zeeing-.

The young detective’s cell phone rang.

“Yes, sir, this is the Baekryong Hotel. There are a lot of outsiders, so we need to finish the witness interview quickly… Are you talking about now? Yes… Understood.”

After the young detective finished the call, he spoke to Detective Han Yeong-su.

“I have orders from the chief of investigation to rush to the scene of the theft.”

“now?”

“Yes, I asked him back, and he got really angry. Could that be why?”

“What? A rumor that I reported my colleagues?”

“Don’t you know the personality of the chief of the investigation department? If you cooperate with him, he will take good care of you, but if you get on his nerves even a little bit, he will become your complete enemy.”

“Okay, I’ll take care of this. Just hurry and head to the scene of the theft. You don’t want to get caught by the chief investigator.”

“I’m sorry I couldn’t help you······.”

The young detective leaves,

Detective Han Young-soo was left to handle the murder case alone.

“Whew~.”

Shin Dae-seong spoke carefully to him as he let out a long sigh.

“Excuse me······Can Detective Kim and I help you? We are witnesses, but not strong suspects. Please don’t take offense······.”

-stroke!

Detective Han Yeong-su turned his head sharply and answered.

“Thank you! It’s not like I refused. I will definitely repay you for your help later.”

He held Shin Dae-seong’s hand tightly and expressed his gratitude.

* * *

A full-scale investigation of reference persons has begun.

A window seat with a nice view took the place of an investigation room.

Kim Han-gyeol and Shin Dae-seong received permission from the hotel guests and staff, and the first witness was Wang Mina.

Han Yeong-su asked while sitting on the soft sofa.

“Are you the granddaughter of Chairman Wang Dae-cheol?”

Wang Mina answered in a voice that did not convey any sense of pride.

“yes that’s right.”

“What is your relationship with the victim, Mr. Jeong Il-sung?”

“It’s the relationship between employer and employee.”

“What was your relationship like with Mr. Jeong Il-sung?”

“The general manager was the person my grandfather used to work for. My grandfather had a strong attachment to people. I didn’t like the way he was doing things, but I couldn’t fire him.”

“Can I accept that it wasn’t good?”

“That’s right. I didn’t like it very much, but I appreciate you letting me go.”

“······.”

Han Yeong-su stopped asking questions.

I thought he was thinking about it for a moment, but no.

-Kururur~.

Han Yeo-su fell asleep while snoring.

As soon as Shin Dae-seong noticed, Kim Han-gyeol poked him in the ribs.

-Phew.

“Oh, I’m sorry······.”

Han Yeong-su, who had suddenly woken up, continued asking questions.

“When did Ms. Wang Mina come down from Seoul?”

“It was three days ago.”

“You weren’t alone?”

“I always have a personal secretary and bodyguard following me around. I told them it was annoying, but I can’t help it because of my grandfather.”

“Yesterday······ why······ the attendants······ performed······ performed······.”

Han Yeong-su’s head was gradually dropping.

It was clear that my body was in a state of accumulated fatigue.

-Phew.

Han Yeong-su suddenly came to his senses again.

“Why weren’t the attendants at the hotel yesterday? I heard they stayed at the hotel at night for two days.”

“I sent you up because something urgent came up in Seoul.”

“Really? What the hell is this urgent······ urgent······ urgent······.”

Han Yeong-su’s body leaned forward towards the table again.

Kim Han-gyeol, who had been poking me in the side, complained.

“Detective Shin, I can’t wake you up anymore.”

“Why~?”

“It’s because I’m so tired. Look at your face, so tired. You’ll have to live as a father of triplets in the future. Shouldn’t you start saving up your energy from now on?”

Wang Mina, who was being investigated, asked.

“Is Detective Han Yeong-su the father of triplets?”

Kim Han-gyeol answered quickly.

“Not yet. Your wife is hospitalized to give birth to triplets. She’s here because of a sudden murder. I understand she hasn’t slept for several days.”

“Oh my god, this is ridiculous······ Judging by her age, this doesn’t seem like your first child.”

“That’s right, we have two kids now. And soon we’ll have triplets, so that’ll be five.”

“Should I say that this is something to celebrate?”

“I think it’s right to congratulate you first.”

“Then, don’t wake up Detective Han Yeong-su.”

“yes?”

Wang Mi-na asked while looking at Han Yeong-su’s sleeping figure.

“I will answer honestly, so please don’t wake me up even during my witness examination.”

“Okay, then Detective Shin and I will take over the investigation. First, let’s make Detective Han comfortable.”

“Okay, then.”

Kim Han-gyeol stood up and tilted Han Yeong-su’s upper body backward.

As soon as the soft sofa backrest closed, Han Yeong-su fell into a deep sleep.

Kim Han-gyeol asked in a lowered voice.

‘I will continue the questioning of witnesses on behalf of Detective Han.’

‘Yes, please do.’

‘Why did the attendants go up to Seoul early yesterday? Was there something urgent?’

‘My boyfriend is cheating on me. I’m sending my entourage up here in a hurry to catch that bastard.’

‘Catch me quickly and let out your anger?’

Even when asked unpleasant questions, Wang Mina did not raise her voice.

‘No, it was to protect that kid. If he gets caught by those sent by Grandpa, he could really die.’

‘I didn’t realize Ms. Wang Mina’s great intentions for a moment. It seems you’re not married yet?’

‘I did it twice, but the results weren’t good. I think there must be something wrong with me.’

‘Thank you for your honest answer. Were you in the suite the entire time the incident occurred?’

‘Where would you go on a rainy day······.’

The reference investigation went very smoothly.

After the investigation of Wang Mina, who was the most suspicious, was over, it was the turn of the man and woman suspected of having an affair.

They also looked sadly at Detective Han Yeong-su, who was sleeping on the sofa by the window.

A female employee asked Kim Han-gyeol.

‘I’m giving birth to triplets today or tomorrow, but I can’t even go to the hospital?’

‘That’s the nature of being a detective. But if you guys can help, you’ll be able to get to the hospital before it’s too late.’

‘Ask me anything! I’ll tell you the truth.’

‘The company you two work for······It’s the largest real estate investment company in our country, right?’

Lee Tae-gu, who had gone down to the lobby to get the documents, answered.

‘Yes, that’s right.’

‘Why did you come to this unfinished hotel? Is it true that you are buying land in this area?’

‘To be honest······.’

* * *

The time when the sunset is setting outside the window.

-Flash!

Detective Han Yeong-su, who had been in a deep sleep, woke up.

“Wow, where did Ms. Wang Mina go?”

Shin Dae-seong spoke to him, who was looking around with surprised eyes.

“Don’t worry. The reference investigation has been completed without incident.”

“Huh~?”

Han Yeong-su looked down at the table that Shin Dae-seong was gesturing at.

There were written statements from everyone in the hotel, including the guests.

“I tried to wake up a detective, but the witnesses made a condition that the detective stay asleep.”

“······.”
