The place that Kim Han-gyeol and Shin Dae-seong found is not a strange place.
It was an ordinary family home in an ordinary villa.
-Ding dong, ding dong.
Kim Han-gyeol spoke as he rang the doorbell.
“Fortunately, this time it seems like a normal witness.”
“I wonder if that is true······.”
Shin Dae-seong responded with a negative nuance.
“Why do you speak so anxiously?”
“If he was a normal witness, you could have just gotten his statement from the West. There would have been no need to call me in.”
“You don’t have to do that fact-checking. I sincerely hope that I too can be a normal witness.”
-Clang.
Team leader Choi Jang-su opened the front door.
“Welcome, PD Shin.”
“PD-nim······?”
“Yeah, Writer Kim came too.”
Kim Han-gyeol quickly lowered his voice and asked.
‘Am I a scriptwriter······.’
‘That’s right, Detective Shin is a producer at KMS Broadcasting Station.’
A lively female voice was heard from inside.
“Oh my, the PD and writer are already here?”
Kim Han-gyeol said to Choi Jang-su as he entered the living room.
‘Shouldn’t you have told me about this kind of situation in advance?’
‘I told you that it was a hasty decision so I didn’t have time to contact you.’
Shin Dae-seong and Kim Han-gyeol entered the living room.
In the kitchen, detective Seo Min-ju, who has a taste for Jang Geum, was preparing food.
“Are you here? PD Shin and Writer Kim······ I’m an assistant director, but I suddenly feel like cooking. Talk to the camera director. The layout is almost done.”
The camera director is the longest-serving team leader.
Detective Seo Min-ju: In the living room, there were women who appeared to be a mother and daughter.
Kim Han-gyeol asked with a fortune-teller’s trick.
‘Who could be the witness?’
‘I think the problem might be with my daughter.’
Shin Dae-seong greeted his mother first.
“Hello. I am Shin Dae-seong, producer of KMS Broadcasting Station.”
“I am the main writer, Kim Han-gyeol.”
“Yes······ Thank you for taking the time to come all the way here. Please sit over here. ‘Hana’, go buy some drinks from the store. I forgot to finish the drinks yesterday.”
“Okay, Mom. But what should I buy?”
“Anything, whatever you like is fine.”
“I’ll be back shortly.”
My daughter got up from her seat.
And then the moment I opened the door and went out to buy a drink,
An urgent operational meeting was held.
The longest-lived man explained in a small, quick voice.
‘The witness to the incident is ‘Kang Ha Na’ who just left. The person next to her is her mother, ‘Yeon Jeong Hee’.’
Kim Han-gyeol greeted him and asked.
‘Hello. I’m detective Kim Han-gyeol from the unsolved crimes unit. Why are you doing this kind of drama?’
The witness’s mother, Yeon Jeong-hee, answered.
‘My daughter has ‘fantasy’.’
‘You’re lying, but you don’t know that you’re lying?’
‘It’s a bit more complicated… I had a hard time with social life, so I just locked myself in my room. But on the day my siblings went missing, I think I saw my daughter being kidnapped.’
‘Could that be a lie?’
‘I thought so at first, too. But when I saw my daughter’s expression, I knew it was true.’
‘Who said that kidnapped the siblings?’
‘I didn’t say that.’
Team leader Choi Jang-soo added.
‘That’s why we’re here. We need to let Kang Ha Na speak about the situation naturally.’
‘Every time you open your mouth, you’re lying, so how do you tell the difference?’
‘That’s why we need Detective Shin.’
Shin Dae-seong, the person involved, reacted negatively.
‘You can think of my ability to detect lies as being similar to a lie detector. If the other person doesn’t think it’s a lie, I can’t detect it. And besides, I don’t even know if Kang Ha-na actually saw the kidnapping scene.’
‘That’s right, right now I’m investigating based on my mother’s intuition. Isn’t this a situation where we have to grab onto even the smallest thing?’
Shin Dae-seong said to Yeon Jeong-hee.
‘Thank you for your active assistance in the investigation.’
‘No······ I don’t know if I’m just bothering the detectives for no reason.’
‘Did you tell the missing persons investigation headquarters about this?’
‘Yes, but he didn’t seem to care much after checking on my daughter’s condition.’
‘Don’t be too upset. I’ll apologize on your behalf.’
Yeon Jeong-hee waved her hand and replied.
‘Oh my, it’s okay. On the contrary, I feel a lot of pressure because you trust me like this······.’
‘Please feel at ease. You can treat your daughter as you normally would. We will handle the investigation.’
‘Yes, you speak so convincingly.’
Shin Dae-seong asked Team Leader Choi Jang-su.
‘Why are we disguised as a broadcasting team?’
‘I received help from Mr. Kwak Do-il of Hanmaeum Mental Illness Treatment Center. I am a junior of Detective Shin’s detective club.’
‘What did he say?’
‘I said that we should create the environment that Kang Ha Na wants as much as possible and observe her. We should wait for the right time to tell the truth.’
‘But why are you disguising yourself as a broadcasting team?’
‘We didn’t have a chance to do anything. As soon as Seo Hyung-ga and I entered, they asked if we were from the broadcasting station? We couldn’t say no. The doctor told us to try our best to accommodate Kang Ha-na’s desired environment.’
Yeon Jeong-hee added further explanation.
‘My daughter can’t tell the difference between reality and imagination. She has a delusion that she is the hidden daughter of a rich family. She is a famous celebrity now, and that is why she thinks she is from a broadcasting station.’
Shin Dae-seong nodded and said.
‘For now, let’s move according to Ms. Kang Ha-na’s imagination. Detective Kim, can you get the broadcasting equipment and bring it in?’
‘Of course. I am an expert on this.’
Shin Dae-seong asked Yeon Jeong-hee.
‘If we film here, it will be hard for my mother. She will lose her privacy because of us.’
‘It’s okay. I hope this helps find the missing siblings. The missing siblings’ mother lives in this town. Every time I see their blank faces, my heart breaks.’
‘Thank you, we’ll finish the investigation as soon as possible. Everyone, stay alert and don’t make any mistakes. We’re here to cover a famous celebrity.’
‘All right!’
This is when the detectives answer in a whisper with determined expressions.
-Rumble.
Kang Ha-na, who had gone out to buy drinks, came back.
The detectives from the unsolved crimes unit went back into the situation drama.
Shin Dae-seong quickly gave instructions.
“Director Choi, look at where to install the camera, and the assistant director…continues to make food. Writer Kim and I will discuss the filming plan with Kang Ha-na.”
Shin Dae-seong spoke first.
“I wasn’t able to properly greet you earlier. I am Shin Dae-seong, producer of KMS Broadcasting Station, and this is writer Kim Han-gyeol.”
“Are you here to cover my daily life as a celebrity?”
“Yes, that’s right. Many people are curious about Kang Ha-na’s daily life. Thank you for allowing me to interview you.”
“It’s okay. I’m not fake like other celebrities. I go with the concept of revealing my daily life without hiding anything.”
“I will do as you wish, Ms. Kang Ha-na. First, may I look into Ms. Kang Ha-na’s room?”
“Okay, follow me.”
Kang Ha Na willingly revealed her room.
“The room is a bit plain, isn’t it?”
“That’s right. Many people think that I live a glamorous life because I’m a famous celebrity, but surprisingly, I’m satisfied with a simple life.”
“Yes, I see······.”
Shin Dae-seong went to the window and asked.
“Can I open the window?”
“Yes, please do.”
-Knock knock.
Shin Dae-seong opened a window that was large compared to the size of the room.
“Is the view nice?”
“Yes, I also look at the scenery outside the window every day.”
Kim Han-gyeol also looked out the window.
If she had witnessed the kidnapping, it would have been through here.
Yeon Jeong-hee’s villa was on a hill.
The wide neighborhood was visible at a glance.
I couldn’t tell where I saw the kidnapping from.
* * *
Bae Young-chang’s illegal office.
Cyber investigation unit new recruits received practical training.
Bae Young-chang was demonstrating various fraudulent techniques, including Internet gambling.
“This way, you can avoid being pursued by the police. Of course, you shouldn’t be complacent here. You should periodically delete the homepage and create a new one. That’s all for today’s training.”
Bae Young-chang got up and approached Hwang Yeo-ju.
“When will Detective Shin arrive?”
“I’m currently investigating another case. Are you taking me lightly because I’m a woman?”
“Absolutely not. I am a person who values gender equality in all things. In my opinion, Detective Hwang is a scarier person than Detective Shin.”
“!”
Hwang Yeo-ju asked, hiding her stinging reaction.
“Why do you think so?”
“It’s just a feeling. Detectives say intuition is important too. Criminals like us also have intuition. This detective is easy, this detective is going to be in big trouble······.”
“What did you feel when you saw Detective Shin Dae-seong?”
“Isn’t his style respectable? At first, I thought he was strict. But as I talked to him, I started to sweat because I thought he was dangerous. He’s a detective you absolutely should not mess with.”
“But why am I more dangerous than Detective Shin?”
Bae Young-chang answered in a lowered voice.
“As I said before, it’s a feeling. Just between us······ Please don’t turn evil. It would be really scary if someone like Detective Hwang turned evil.”
“Don’t worry. I’m a former dark hacker turned police officer.”
“Ah~ So that’s why the feeling of danger lingered. Anyway, congratulations.”
“Mr. Bae Young-chang, you should do well too. If you actively cooperate with the investigation, you will receive a great deal of leniency.”
Suddenly, Bae Young-chang lowered his head.
“I still don’t understand······.”
“What don’t you understand?”
“The police had boiled it down perfectly, and there was nothing to catch. How did they get caught by Detective Shin?”
It was Hwang Yeo-ju who sensed his suspiciousness.
“Because there’s a detective flying above the criminal running. Sometimes being too perfect can be a problem.”
“Ah······ I made a mistake just now. Did Detective Hwang Yeo-ju say ‘I am a detective’?”
“As expected, you are quick-witted.”
“But is it okay to do something like this? If you’re going to fish, shouldn’t you at least put out some bait?”
“Don’t worry. I’ve already laid out a ton of bait. You’re raking in the money.”
“It’s not good to spread rumors too much······.”
This is when Bae Young-chang responds with an anxious expression.
-Thud!
The office door opened and a bunch of grumpy men rushed in.
“Who is Bae Young-chang here?”
“It’s all······.”
“Who gave you permission to open your workshop?”
For a moment, he flinched, but then he looked at Hwang Yeo-ju and gained energy.
“What does it matter what I do here? What are you guys doing here all of a sudden?”
“What the heck? This kid jumped out of the stomach? Should I turn this place into a mess right now!”
“no······.”
-Phuk!
Hwang Yeo-ju poked Bae Young-chang in the ribs as he lowered his tail.
“Hey, what if you suddenly stab me?”
“I’m behind you.”
Hwang Yeo-ju stepped forward in front of the fierce men.
“Who sent it?”
“Hey, you want to see this bitch?”
“Are you deaf? I asked who sent you just now. If you don’t tell me who it is, I will forcibly detain you and interrogate you.”
“Oh my god~ Really!”
Hwang Yeo-ju folded her arms and gave orders in a small voice.
“Everyone stand up.”
-Whew!
Everyone sitting in the office stood up in unison.
Although he was disguised as a lowly member of a voice phishing organization, he was actually a trained police officer.
Hwang Yeo-ju’s orders continued.
“Pull out your weapon.”
-Sassassasss …
The undercover policemen simultaneously pulled out their batons.
“Prepare to attack.”
-Whaaak~!
They simultaneously lowered their hands and pulled out the three-sectioned staff.
It’s a scene where he moves like someone who has been practicing for a long time.
The man who had been uttering the words “Ajuguri” over and over flinched.
“Oh, oh my god······ Are you really going to try it?”
“There’s nothing you can’t do. Are you going to attack or not?”
“These damn bastards… If you get hit by these sloppy kids, you’ll end up a loser. Wipe them all out!”
Hwang Yeo-ju also gave the order right away.
“Charge forward!”
“Wow~.”
The men in black and white and the undercover police officers came face to face.
