◈Episode 155◈

A stunning coincidence

Kim Han-gyeol greeted first.

“I’m enjoying my coffee.”

“Here’s a congratulatory coffee. If you need more, please let me know.”

“A person died, isn’t it too obvious that you’re happy about it?”

At that moment, Thelma reacts in surprise.

“Oh my, did someone die? I thought the dog died······.”

“Ms. Delma, you don’t seem to have good feelings for PD Kim Sun-woo, do you?”

“You’ve already heard the rumor. I tried to kill that bastard, and this is how he ended up dying?”

“Did you have a plan to kill him?”

“The plan was made faithfully.”

Kim Han-gyeol asked with a smiling face.

“What is your plan? Since it has already been implemented by someone else, please feel free to tell me.”

“The first is a one-on-one fight. I’ve done some martial arts. Of course, PD Kim wouldn’t accept my challenge. That bastard is such a coward.”

“Wasn’t there a second plan?”

“There was. They poisoned people without anyone knowing.”

“Is that somewhat possible?”

Delma asked with a meaningful smile.

“Is it because PD Kim was poisoned to death?”

“Who told you that?”

“Everyone at the broadcasting station knows that, right?”

“We should be more careful about security. What kind of poison would you have used to kill Miss Delma?”

“I would use puffer fish poison. It is much more toxic than cyanide.”

Kim Han-gyeol also said with a smiling face.

“Why don’t you sit over here and chat comfortably?”

“Yeah.”

Kim Han-gyeol sat Thelma and Louise down on the chairs. Shin Dae-seong immediately looked at them and asked.

“Are the two of you stage names that you came up with after watching a movie?”

Delma answered.

“No, our real names are Thelma and Louise. It has nothing to do with the movie.”

“Mr. Lewis, didn’t you want to kill PD Kim Sun-woo?”

It was a sudden question.

Louis answered with a look of surprise.

“Oh, no. I never thought about that.”

“Didn’t you hate PD Kim?”

“That, that······.”

When Louis hesitated, Thelma answered for him.

“She’s an angel. She thinks all the food in the world is delicious and there are no bad people in the world.”

“Isn’t that a very dangerous idea?”

“That’s why I always have to be there to protect you.”

Kim Han-gyeol brought up a topic of interest to them.

“Do you know Hera, the world’s best fashion magazine?”

Louis answered in a lively voice.

“Of course. How could anyone interested in fashion not know about Hera? It’s the heaven of the fashion world.”

“Detective Shin here and I are friends with Hera’s editor-in-chief, Amanda. We’ve had candid conversations on several occasions.”

“Really?”

“If a detective lies, he will be punished by heaven. Detective Shin in particular was highly praised for his outstanding fashion sense.”

“It seems that way to me. But what did Editor Amanda say to you, detective?”

“Is that you?”

“Yes, the tall detective.”

Kim Han-gyeol confessed the truth.

“They called me a fashion terrorist. They scolded me for deliberately ruining the clothes I was born with.”

“Hohoho, that’s a very accurate observation.”

“What show did you two appear on?”

Delma answered as if interrupting.

“It was a medical panel appearance. It was about sharing one’s experiences honestly.”

“It has nothing to do with fashion?”

“It was a program about dieting. I’m close with the PD of that program. I appeared on it because this one was canceled.”

-Tiring~ Tiring~

Kim Han-gyeol’s cell phone rang.

Kim Han-gyeol, who checked the caller’s number, asked for understanding.

“I’ll take a quick phone call.”

Kim Han-gyeol left and detective Lee Jun-gi investigated them.

“Yes, Detective Hwang. Do you have any good news?”

-I don’t know if this is good news or troublesome news.

“why?”

-Han Soo-kyung isn’t the only one who bought poison through the dark market.

Kim Han-gyeol looked around and asked.

“Who else is there?”

-I don’t know the name. The address it was delivered to is the studio that Thelma and Louise share.

“It’s clear that one of the two bought it. Can you tell me which poison they bought?”

-You have to arrest the seller to find out. It was discovered while investigating the guys dealing in poison on the dark market.

“Did you tell Detective Shin this story first?”

-No? Detective Shin doesn’t even have a cell phone. Why?

“Detective Shin predicted it. One of the two people will turn himself in, but he is not the culprit.”

-I can guess what the situation is. Someone saw the poison being delivered. Are you turning yourself in to protect the person?

“I thought of that story too. But how did Detective Shin know that the poison was delivered and make that prediction?”

Hwang Yeo-ju responded in a slightly lowered voice.

– Detective Shin seems to be beyond human categories. I have a very confident personality, but I can’t help but give in to Detective Shin.

Kim Han-gyeol nodded vigorously and spoke on the phone.

“I’m not just going to do it, I’m going to fold everything. Detective Shin seemed to know who the culprit was······.”

-By the way, there is one thing that is strange about their behavior.

“What is it?”

-I don’t know which of the two is the culprit, but a significant amount of money was stolen from their joint account.

“How much?”

– I found over 100 million won in cash. That’s enough money to hire a killer, not poison.

“Didn’t they do it themselves?”

– Detective Kim, who is on the scene, needs to find out. This much information should be enough to shake things up.

“Thank you, if you have any further information, please call me right away.”

Kim Han-gyeol finished the call and approached them again.

Detective Lee Jun-ki questioned and investigated, but it was difficult to find anything suspicious.

“So you two were stuck together the whole time when you came into the broadcasting station? You were in the car because the waiting room was uncomfortable.”

“Yes, we were both tired so we slept in the car.”

Kim Han-gyeol looked at Delma with a strange smile.

“Why are you looking at me like that?”

“Didn’t a strange package arrive in the studio you two share?”

“!”

Delma quickly hid her look of surprise.

“What kind of package are you talking about?”

“Let me get straight to the point. The Micro-Dictionary Task Force is investigating the vendors on the dark market. We have already confirmed that poison has been delivered to your workshop.”

Kim Han-gyeol quickly checked their reactions.

Louis’s expression became tearful, but Thelma remained impassive.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about. We receive more than one or two packages every day. Especially the gifts from anti-fans contain all sorts of things. If something looks suspicious, we throw it away without even opening it. Right? Louis.”

“Yeah, that’s right… You sent a cat corpse before too.”

Kim Han-gyeol showed a sad smile.

“It’s really nice to see the friendship between you two. However, if you’re not careful, you can both be found guilty as accomplices.”

“Where is such a law?”

“So, tell me the truth about who bought the poison, or it will be a case of the two of you conspiring.”

This is when Louis, who had been biting his lip, is about to open his mouth.

“I ordered that.”

Thelma said embroidered. When Louis tried to say no, he grabbed her shoulder and silenced her.

Shin Dae-seong asked Delma.

“Why did you buy that medicine?”

“I tried to kill PD Kim Sun-woo, but he was already dead so I couldn’t do it. I heard that a female staff member killed him.”

“That is under investigation now. What kind of poison did you purchase?”

“It’s cyanide.”

“It’s not puffer fish poison?”

“!”

Delma reacts with a start.

Because I already said that I wanted to kill Kim Seon-woo with puffer fish poison.

“Anyway, I didn’t kill that kid.”

“Where is the unused cyanide?”

“I threw it away.”

“Your reply is a little late. Where did you throw it away?”

“I threw it into the river near my studio.”

Kim Han-gyeol reacted with increasing suspicion.

“Since you’ve already answered honestly, why don’t you answer honestly until the end?”

“I’ll be as honest as I can. I was with Louis when that kid died.”

“Being with a friend is not an alibi. The parking lot where the two of you were is connected to the hallway where the victim died.”

“Why don’t you just check the parking lot CCTV?”

Shin Dae-seong asked detective Lee Jun-gi.

“Have you checked the CCTV in the parking lot?”

“Ah······ That’s it.”

“Could it have happened by chance around the time of the victim’s death?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“Is there such a ‘strange coincidence’? Why do CCTVs in our country break down at the time of crimes?”

“I’m sorry. We are also really shocked.”

“What does this detective have to be sorry about? It must have been an incredible coincidence or the criminal had planned it in advance.”

Kim Han-gyeol said to Shin Dae-seong.

“I got a call from Detective Hwang.”

“huh.”

“A large sum of money, over 100 million, was withdrawn from Thelma and Louise’s joint account. Could this have something to do with the strange coincidence?”

Shin Dae-seong asked Delma directly.

“Where did you spend that money?”

“······.”

“If you do this, I have no choice but to arrest you. Tell me exactly what you did with the unused poison. And tell me exactly where you spent the money, which is over 100 million.”

Delma looked increasingly on the defensive.

Shin Dae-seong was unable to answer two questions.

“There’s nothing we can do about it, Detective Kim?”

Kim Han-gyeol took out the handcuffs and answered.

“Yes, I was waiting.”

“Arrest Ms. Delma on charges of murdering Producer Kim Shin-woo.”

“All right.”

It was when Kim Han-gyeol approached Delma.

Louis spoke as he blocked Kim Han-gyeol’s path.

“No. I ordered the cyanide. Thelma lied for me.”

“Then did you poison PD Kim Shin-woo?”

“No, I really hated him so much that I wanted to kill him······but I couldn’t put it into action.”

“Did you spend over 100 million won on a crazy coincidence?”

“Yes······ He told me in detail how he would commit the crime along with the poison. He said that regardless of my crime, the CCTV would show abnormalities.”

“Where did you put the poison you bought at the Dark Market?”

“That······ I gave up on the crime and left it in the car, but it disappeared.”

“Really?”

“Why would I lie?”

“All criminals lie. That’s the Bible for detectives.”

Shin Dae-seong intervened and spoke as if he were a referee.

“Mr. Lewis is telling the truth.”

“Yes? Then does that mean Mr. Lewis is not the culprit either?”

“yes.”

“Then who is the culprit? If this happens, the amount of content will be too much, which will be a problem.”

-Knock knock.

Shin Dae-seong responded by lightly tapping Kim Han-gyeol on the shoulder.

“That won’t happen.”

“How can you be sure······ This time, Detective Shin’s prediction was wrong.”

“You’re not completely wrong. You’re half right. And if Louis isn’t the culprit, then there’s only one person left who could be.”

“Who is that?”

Shin Dae-seong walked towards the staff without saying anything.
