#Episode 34

“Let’s go in my car.”

As soon as we got out into the parking lot, Oh Seo-hyun said.

Lee Jae-hyun nodded, because it didn’t matter whose car he was riding in.

Oh Seo-hyun took out the car key from her bosom and pressed the button.

The lights of a distant car came on with a beeping sound.

Compact SUV.

It was a cute looking car, but it was quite refreshing as it was completely different from the sharp look that Oh Seo-hyun had shown us last time.

What should I say?

Normally, it feels like it’s ready to bite at any moment like a hunting dog, and it still feels that way now.

It felt like a hunting dog was just sticking its head out of a cute little kennel.

Jaehyun Lee got into the passenger seat with a strange expression on his face.

“Let’s go.”

As she said that, Oh Seo-hyun stepped on the accelerator. Lee Jae-hyun got into her car and headed to the noodle restaurant.

Of course, Song’s Gukbap House.

Outwardly, nothing had changed.

Of course. What could change in a few days?

However, after parking and entering the store, the scenery was completely different from the last time I came.

“No, I mean, I thought something was strange back then?”

“Oh my, this guy is talking too much again.”

A group of people wearing hiking gear, laughing and talking loudly.

“Chief Choi said so……”

“Manager Choi is really strange these days.”

There are also a group of people who appear to be office workers, dressed in suits, eating a meal calmly.

Everyone was eating noodles and taking a seat, and the tables were full.

“Huh? Welcome!”

A welcoming voice was heard.

Song A-ram approaches Oh Seo-hyun and Lee Jae-hyun with a bright face.

It was time for her to go to school, but Jaehyun Lee looked puzzled at the sight of her at the noodle restaurant.

As if she noticed the gaze, Song Aram fluttered the apron she was wearing.

“Oh, I decided to take a break from school for a few days. Seohyun came here and tried to turn the school upside down. The teachers were like, sorry for not knowing until now, and told me to take a break for a few days and come out……”

Song Aram giggled and laughed.

Anyway, it doesn’t seem like something is going wrong or that he’s skipping school without permission.

Lee Jae-hyun nodded and opened his mouth.

“How is the A/S effect? ​​Are you satisfied?”

“It wasn’t even my doing…….”

Song Aram muttered that in a playful voice, then chuckled.

“Well, I don’t know yet because as hasn’t started properly yet… but it feels solid.”

After she said that, she turned her head and looked around the inside of the store.

Just then, two office workers got up from their seats.

“Please wait a moment. I will clean up quickly and show you around.”

“It’s okay to take it slow.”

Although Lee Jae-hyun spoke in a soft voice, Song A-ram’s hands moved quickly.

Meanwhile, President Song bowed his head slightly to Jaehyun Lee as if he was happy to see him, and paid for the meals of the office workers.

After a while, Lee Jae-hyun and Oh Seo-hyun were able to safely find their seats and order their menu.

Two bowls of pork soup.

Oh Seo-hyeon took out her spoon with a calm expression and waited for the noodles.

Jaehyun Lee opened his mouth as he looked at her.

“Aram called me ‘Seohyun unnie’… I guess you two have become very close.”

“Rather than saying we became close, Aram was originally bright and… approachable.”

Well, it was Song Aram who had sharp thorns.

After seeing Lee Jae-hyun chase out the perpetrators of school violence, didn’t he immediately rush over and ask for ‘A/S’?

Since Oh Seo-hyun directly resolved school violence, it was natural to feel close to her.

“Oh, and I did go to the school to try to resolve the issue to some extent. Actually, the issue was already somewhat resolved before I went.”

“is it so?”

“Yes. I went to see them the next day, but the perpetrators didn’t come to school that day. They came out after that, but… they said they were strangely quiet.”

As Oh Seo-hyeon was saying that, Song A-ram interrupted, bringing two bowls of noodles and placing them on the table.

“That’s right. They’ve been quiet for a few days. Well, everyone is thinking it’s strange, to the point where they say they’ve been quiet since they saw a ghost.”

“Ghost……?”

Lee Jae-hyun let out a hollow laugh at Song A-ram’s words.

Where in the world are there ghosts?

She probably didn’t come to school because she was afraid that the police would come, and since Oh Seo-hyun actually came, she was afraid that something would go wrong, so she stayed quiet for the time being…

‘Uh… … ?’

No, something was strange.

Besides, they didn’t seem like the type of kids who would be that scared of the police.

If such an absurd reason as to why ghosts can be seen has spread out of the blue, then maybe ghosts really do exist.

By the way, Jaehyun Lee knew of a being that was very similar to a ghost, even if it wasn’t a ghost.

Surely, Serhen really did something.

I think so.

“I don’t think they’re the type of kids who would suddenly become quiet just because you played with them that much.”

“…….”

At Serhen’s words, Jaehyun Lee stirred the noodles in bewilderment.

When the devil is right in front of you, you have to be quiet.

If death was really imminent like Lee Jae-hyun’s, he would have had no choice but to accept it, but isn’t that not the case?

However, as Serhen said, I felt strangely uneasy.

However, since it was difficult to proceed with AS directly, it was best to trust Officer Song A-ram and Officer Oh Seo-hyeon.

“Okay, I understand. If you need any further assistance, please feel free to contact me at any time.”

“Yes, thank you. I will take note of that.”

Officer Oh Seo-hyeon shrugged his shoulders and answered in a light voice.

It was a worry, but there wasn’t much Lee Jae-hyun could do right away.

We can proceed with the investigation of witnesses like we are doing now, and if things get a bit bigger later, we can testify in court, but for now, we are being quiet… … Well, the best thing to do was to secure evidence and sort out the situation.

But just in case you need any additional help.

If the guys aren’t just sitting there quietly, but are up to something and start acting up again… … then you can take action.

The police are weak when it comes to dealing with things that happened in the past, if there is no evidence.

If there is evidence, then there is a being that becomes stronger than anyone else, so if we move forward and create direct evidence,

At that time, Lee Jae-hyun will step forward first.

He didn’t say anything else and just focused on eating silently.

Could it be because of a habit I picked up during my time as a detective?

Lee Jae-hyun emptied his bowl of noodles in an instant, and Oh Seo-hyun finished her meal at a similar pace.

In the meantime, some people had left, so only about half of the seats were occupied.

Oh Seo-hyun took out her smartphone from her bosom with a blank expression.

“Just in case, I’ll record it.”

“yes.”

“Then……. shall we begin?”

“Here?”

“Yes, it’s just a formality.”

Oh Seo-hyun shrugged and answered.

Lee Jae-hyun also nodded his head as he didn’t care where he was questioned as a witness.

I wonder if this is okay, but as Oh Seo-hyun said, it’s just a formality.

Anyway, Lee Jae-hyun’s words will be very advantageous to Song A-ram, and Oh Seo-hyun will later do the paperwork for the recording.

There were no questions.

It starts with very basic information like name and age, and asks for an honest explanation of what the situation was like at the time.

Lee Jae-hyun was able to explain it without much difficulty.

“Thank you for your hard work.”

“Yes, thank you for your hard work.”

After hearing the answer from Lee Jae-hyun, Oh Seo-hyun greeted him neatly.

Lee Jae-hyun also bowed his head slightly and greeted me.

At that moment, a vibration sounded like a whoosh.

Oh Seo-hyun, who was about to put her smartphone back in her pocket, hesitated and shook her head as if to say that it wasn’t her.

Lee Jae-hyun took out his smartphone.

I was getting a call from an unknown number.

“I’ll go and answer the phone.”

As he said this, he stood up from his seat.

* * *

Should we say that this is one of the many occupational diseases of detectives?

Since they often hand out business cards asking people to contact them whenever they find evidence, I tend to answer calls from unknown numbers as much as possible.

It’s the same now.

Of course, he was no longer a detective but a police officer, so there was no need to hand out business cards, but Jaehyun Lee answered the phone out of habit.

“Yes, hello?”

-Hello. Is this Officer Lee Jae-hyun’s cell phone?

A young woman’s voice was heard over the phone.

The tone of speech was soft, yet felt formal.

“Yes, that’s right. Who are you?”

-Oh, hello. My name is Minha Yoon from Dongyeong Ilbo.

Lee Jae-hyun couldn’t help but hesitate at the mention of Dong-A Ilbo.

Detectives and reporters are inseparable beings.

I guess you could say it feels like a crocodile or an alligator bird.

No, it’s a relationship that can’t be described in words.

Because it is a symbiotic relationship, and also a relationship where they are anxious because they cannot eat each other.

Journalists always need a story.

Detectives also sometimes need information from reporters or the power of the media.

However, there are always reporters who do not coordinate with each other and who break news that should not be broken.

There have been more than a few instances where reporters have stirred up trouble while quietly investigating a case.

Of course, if the other person was a reporter, you couldn’t help but be wary.

“Are you a reporter?”

-yes yes.

“Why did the reporter ask me… No, how did you know my number?”

Lee Jae-hyun asked with a frown.

A reporter can call.

There have been a lot of things going on recently, so it’s possible that you’ll get requests to interview him about it.

But… … . I wonder how he contacted me through his personal phone when he didn’t even send out his contact information.

– Finding out the police officer’s contact information isn’t a difficult task. It’s our job.

“I don’t know since when stalking became a journalistic job.”

– Hey, stalking. I don’t know when getting the number of a guy you’re interested in became stalking.

Reporter Yoon Min-ha answered in a soft voice.

The way he spoke seemed similar to Kim Jun-ho, who was always known as a smart guy in the team.

Lee Jae-hyun clicked his tongue inwardly.

I don’t like the situation, but it’s not a good idea to be a pushover with a reporter who is taking action.

Especially when it comes to large media outlets like Dong-A Ilbo.

“So, why are you calling?”

-I heard a rumor. They say that the one who caught the serial killer Myung Jin-han was a police officer.

“Is that so?”

Lee Jae-hyun naturally took the blame.

It wasn’t all that surprising that the reporter found out that it was a police officer who caught Myeong Jin-han.

Even if the general public didn’t know, rumors were already circulating within the police station.

There are reporters stationed in the press room inside the police station, so it wouldn’t have been strange if they had picked it up somewhere.

-But, I heard that police officer also revealed the truth about the Park Chun-beom case from five years ago.

“…….”

What we’ve found out so far is a bit surprising.

The Myungjinhan incident was truly a nationally sensational incident.

The Park Chun-beom case wasn’t that big of an issue.

There was a lot of talk about the truth being revealed for several days, but in terms of attention, it wasn’t even a tenth of what it was for Myeongjinhan.

Naturally, rumors probably didn’t spread much even within the police force.

If you figured that out, you really moved quickly.

―I think the police officer in question might be Police Officer Lee Jae-Hyeon. There are a few pieces of evidence… … .

Reporter Yoon Min-ha tried to explain in a soft voice.

Lee Jae-hyun cut her off there.

There was no reason to listen any longer.

Lee Jae-hyun had no intention of telling the reporter that he was the police officer who caught Myung Jin-han and revealed the truth about the Park Chun-beom case.

“I’m sorry, but you are free to think that way, but… I’m busy, so I’ll hang up now.”

-Huh? Just a moment.

“Well then, have a nice day. Reporter Yoon Min-ha from Dong-A Ilbo.”

Lee Jae-hyun hung up the phone neatly and put his smartphone in his pocket.

Luckily, there was no call back or anything.

When he turned to go back to the restaurant, Serhen was looking at him with a puzzled expression.

“Why are you pretending not to know?”

“huh?”

Serhen asked with a hmm sound.

Lee Jae-hyun met her eyes.

“No, don’t humans like being famous? That’s usually the case.”

Don’t you usually like being famous?

Well, most people would probably like to be ‘recognized’ by more people than ‘become famous’.

It’s not that Lee Jae-hyun didn’t like being recognized.

However, it was difficult to publish articles or anything like that.

The reason is simple.

“We have to catch bad guys in the future, but it’s obvious that we’ll be uncomfortable if we receive media attention.”

How many criminals will he have to catch in the future, and it will be inconvenient for him to do his job as a police officer if his face is known to the media.

A strange expression appeared on Serhen’s face as he looked at Jaehyun Lee’s back as he answered and turned away.

“You’re destined to be noticed somehow. Don’t you know that yet?”

Or, are you just going to ignore it and pretend not to know?

She muttered softly.
