Investigation room 402.

Kim Han-gyeol looked at Deacon Choi Mi-young, who was bowing her head deeply.

“Do you know why you were arrested?”

Butler Choi Mi-young nodded her head with a subtle movement.

“Who gave the order to hide the gun in the knight’s room?”

“······.”

As expected, Deacon Choi Mi-young did not respond.

A radio message came from detective Choi Jang-soo.

– Aren’t you being too pushy from the start? You should just make him say whatever he wants.

Kim Han-gyeol slightly raised his hand to indicate that he understood.

“How long have you been working at Chairman Jeon Young-sook’s residence?”

“It’s been 34 years······.”

It was a small voice, but I could hear it.

“Where did that gun come from?”

“······.”

“If you don’t tell the truth, you will be severely punished. Because of you, the innocent knight Kang almost became a murderer.”

“Why is he without sin? He was born a sinner!”

“You suddenly became venomous?”

“······!”

Butler Choi Mi-young closed her mouth and lowered her head again.

Investigation room 403.

Shin Dae-seong said to President Jeon Yeong-suk.

“Butler Choi Mi-young is being interrogated in the interrogation room right next door. If you tell me who ordered you to do this, I will be contacted immediately.”

“······.”

Instead of Jeong Yeong-suk, who had her mouth tightly shut, Shin Dae-seong looked at the new lawyer.

“What is your name?”

“This is Choi Ik-su of Jang & Jang Law Firm.”

“Shouldn’t we tell the client what is in his interest? If Deaconess Choi Mi-young opens her mouth first, the opportunity for leniency will be lost. Do you think Attorney Choi can turn this situation around in court?”

Attorney Choi Ik-soo, who had been thinking for a moment, turned his head.

“Just open your mouth. You’ll be fired immediately.”

“······.”

He immediately shut his mouth at Jeon Yeong-sook’s chilling warning.

A situation where an awkward silence flows.

The longest-living radio station has arrived.

-Butler Choi overreacted to the driver.

Shin Dae-seong nodded as if he was listening carefully.

-They say being born is a sin.

Shin Dae-seong immediately spoke as if talking to himself.

“Why is it a sin to be born?”

“!”

Jeon Young-sook also reacted sensitively.

Shin Dae-seong leaned his upper body towards her, who was frowning.

“Isn’t the chairman unforgiving? Those who hurt him should be punished. But is there anyone who would dare to hurt the chairman? If possible, it would be his parents? Or his husband who passed away 25 years ago······.”

A faint smile spread across Shin Dae-seong’s face.

“What did your husband do wrong? You can’t forgive him even after death? Seeing that the chairman is so sensitive about cheating… it’s obvious what he did wrong.”

A third lawyer intervened.

“Don’t insult your clients by asking questions that are not related to the case.”

“I’m saying this because it’s related. Why did the driver have to be the one who killed Yoon Ga-hee? I think the chairman was trying to kill two birds with one stone. He killed the woman who had an affair with his son-in-law, and he blamed the son who was born from his affair. Isn’t that a thrilling revenge just thinking about it?”

“That’s a ridiculous guess.”

“Then, should we try a genetic test? I think Mr. Kang Yong-kwan would welcome it with open arms. Since her husband has passed away, we can compare it with Ms. Yoo Ji-young.”

“no!”

Jeon Yeong-suk shouted venomously.

It’s a look that looks like it could kill Shin Dae-seong at any moment.

“Please calm down, Chairman… This is the police station interrogation room. Can a strong denial be interpreted as an affirmative answer?”

“······.”

“Chairwoman Jeon Young-sook is more amazing than me. My revenge lasts 20 years, but your wife’s is 25 years. I should learn a thing or two.”

“There should be absolutely no harm done to Jiyoung.”

“I don’t want to do that either. I’m more scared of Ji-young’s husband than the chairman. But what crime did the driver, Kang Yong-kwan, commit? He was abandoned at birth and lived a low-class life.”

“I told you it was a sin to be born. It was a sin to be born from the womb of that cheap bitch······.”

“I understand the chairman’s hatred. At that time, the company was going through a hard time, and Ji-young wasn’t feeling well. But instead of being a help, her husband committed adultery.”

“If a man is infatuated with a woman, there is no solution.”

“The chairman has absolutely no intention of forgiving his deceased husband. He even found the child abandoned by his mistress and used it as a means of revenge. But his method was wrong. No, the chairman’s misunderstanding was the problem.”

“······.”

“I am not your son-in-law. I did not have an affair with Yoon Ga-hee. Please admit your mistake and confess.”

“······.”

“Butler Choi won’t last long.”

“Is that really so?”

“You can make a bet with me. Detective Kim Han-gyeol will take down Butler Choi within an hour. And you will also fall.”

But Chairman Jeon Young-sook did not lose her relaxed expression.

Investigation room 402.

Kim Han-gyeol made full use of the information he obtained from Room 403.

“Why did the driver have to be the one who killed Yoon Ga-hee? I think that Chairman Jeon Young-sook was trying to kill two birds with one stone. She killed the woman who had an affair with her son-in-law, and blamed the crime on her son, who was born from her husband’s affair.”

“······.”

Butler Choi Mi-young kept her mouth shut,

The reaction from the longest-serving detective is that it is too much.

– At this level, it’s ‘copy and paste’······ It’s a copyright violation.

Kim Han-gyeol didn’t care and kept gesturing. It was a signal for him to continue repeating what Shin Dae-seong had said.

-Should I try genetic testing······.

“Should we try a genetic test? I think Mr. Kang Yong-kwan would welcome it with open arms. Since the chairman’s husband passed away, we can compare it with Ms. Yoo Ji-young.”

“No!”

Butler Choi Mi-young jumped up and shouted.

Kim Han-gyeol said with a reassuring expression.

“There will be no harm to Ms. Yoo Ji-young.”

“Really?”

“I swear on my mother.”

Kim Han-gyeol began the investigation in his own way.

“Butler Choi has been guarding the mansion for a long time. He has been taking care of Chairman Jeon Young-sook, who is busy with work. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he is a member of the family. However······ Chairman Jeon Young-sook has crossed the line.”

“······.”

“Butler Choi, you probably know now. Yoon Ga-hee was not having an affair with Attorney Song Chi-soo.”

“that’s right.”

“My mother once told me about Yoon Ga-hee. She said she suffered a lot because she was poor.”

“When I watch old TV, it seems like people lived really well······.”

“Both my parents had disabilities. I also had three younger siblings. Yoon Ga-hee was the de facto head of the household.”

“······.”

“Some celebrities cry and go on air about how poor they were and how hard it was. People who have really suffered don’t even want to think about it.”

“okay······.”

“Actress Yoon Ga-hee said she succeeded because she was desperate. My mother also said she was moved several times. One day, while recording a TV entertainment show, she was desperately playing a game. When my mother asked why, she said she had a gift she wanted to give to her family. So my mother gave her all the gifts.”

“Oh, I see.”

A faint smile spread across Butler Choi Mi-young’s lips.

“Yoon Ga-hee has never been involved in a scandal. It was so bad that there were even rumors that she hated men. According to my mother, she said she would only work until she could buy a house for her family to live comfortably. After that, she would date, travel, and have her own life.”

“You’re so kind, unlike other celebrities.”

“As if heaven had helped her, her wish came true sooner than expected. She became the exclusive model for Cheongsan Foods.”

“······!”

“Butler Choi and I know that it wasn’t a blessing from heaven, but the beginning of a tragedy. The day before she went missing, she told her parents that after filming the movie, we should go on a trip to Jeju Island. But Ms. Yoon Ga-hee······.”

Detective Seo Mi-ju, who was investigating together, was surprised. It seemed as if Detective Kim Han-gyeol’s voice was shaking,

-Gurr.

Tears flowed down from only one eye.

“She failed to keep her promise to her parents and met a tragic death. My mother says······ Yoon Ga-hee was a famous filial daughter in the entertainment industry. She even bought her plane ticket in advance and prepared a surprise gift······.”

“!”

Detective Seo Min-ju was surprised again.

Because Butler Choi also shed tears.

“Wipe it······.”

Kim Han-gyeol handed her his handkerchief, and Choi Jang-su repeated the information about Butler Choi.

-Butler Choi Mi-young has a daughter. She used to take money from her, saying she would make her mother look good. She has now immigrated overseas, and they barely keep in touch. But Butler Choi is only worried about his daughter.

Kim Han-gyeol apologized, wiping away tears with his fingers.

“I’m sorry, I have to interrogate the suspect… I remember meeting Yoon Ga-hee’s parents yesterday. Her mother is deaf and cannot speak. She kept repeating the same sign language as I spoke to her father.”

Kim Han-gyeol moved both hands as he recalled the memory.

Butler Choi watched with interest and asked.

“What does that mean?”

“I miss my daughter so much, I miss her so much. That’s what she kept telling me desperately until the investigation was over.”

“Ugh······.”

Butler Choi burst into tears.

As if he had been waiting for this, Kim Han-gyeol appealed to her and said.

“How much would you miss your daughter who promised to live comfortably? The culprit of this case has been revealed. There is no point in wasting time. Please tell me······ Who gave the gun to Butler Choi?”

Investigation room 403.

A strange smile appeared on Shin Dae-seong’s face.

Jeon Yeong-suk, who had been watching him closely, opened her mouth.

“Did something good happen?”

“Yes, something good just happened. Unfortunately, it’s the worst news for Chairman Jeon Young-sook. Deaconess Choi Mi-young has told the truth.”

“!”

“The person who gave me the gun and told me to hide it in Mr. Kang’s room was Chairman Jeon Yeong-sook.”

“Lies······Butler Choi didn’t say anything, are you trying to deceive me?”

“I used to use that method a lot. But I heard that you shouldn’t use it carelessly these days. Do you want to lie in front of a lawyer and get caught right away?”

Jeon Yeong-suk still did not believe Shin Dae-seong’s words.

“Where are you talking? Butler Choi will never betray me!”

“It is not a betrayal. It is the revelation of the truth. I will change Ms. Jeon Yeong-suk to a suspect. And since there is a risk of destroying evidence, I will arrest her immediately.”

The lawyer shouted at Shin Dae-seong, who was taking out the handcuffs.

“What is this? Arresting someone for changing the status of a suspect!”

“Even the testimony of his closest associates has come out, so it would be strange if he were not arrested. An arrest warrant will be issued soon. Please prepare for the examination of the appropriateness of the arrest.”

Shin Dae-seong said to Jeon Yeong-suk.

“Please give me your hand.”

“what?”

“I told you to extend your hand.”

“Go, you dare to handcuff me?”

“Yes, that’s right. Ms. Jeon Yeong-suk, I’m arresting you on charges of murdering Yoon Ga-hee.”

-Clang!

The moment the handcuffs are put on,

“Eww~ You know who I am!”

Jeon Yeong-suk screamed and made a fuss. She had a complete mental breakdown.

-Shhh~.

A smile filled with joy appeared on Shin Dae-seong’s face. It wasn’t as sinister as Kim Han-gyeol had worried. It was closer to a happy smile that naturally appears when eating delicious food.

* * *

-Rumble.

Shin Dae-seong came out of investigation room 403.

Kim Han-gyeol, who had finished his investigation first, was also in the hallway. He was leaning against the wall with one hand and wiping away tears from his eyes.

“What are you doing?”

“I’m trying to control my emotions… I feel like I’m too immersed. I never thought I’d use the talent I got from my mother in this way….”

“Congratulations. That will be a great weapon for Detective Kim in the future.”

“Thank you. Did Detective Shin believe that I would convince Butler Choi?”

“No, honestly, I didn’t have any expectations. I felt like I won the lottery.”

“yes~?”

Kim Han-gyeol looked at Shin Dae-seong with a dumbfounded expression.
