#Episode 54

Lee Jae-hyun looked around nervously until Choi Dae-hyun returned home from playing at the playground.

I looked around for a while after that, but Park Ye-chan never showed up.

The same goes for the alleyway Serhen was looking at.

‘In this case, wouldn’t it be better to chase after Choi Dae-hyun rather than waiting for Park Ye-chan?’

As that thought crossed his mind for a moment, Jaehyun Lee soon shook his head.

If he follows Choi Max-hyun around, Park Ye-chan, who feels wary, may change his target.

If that happens, the places where child kidnappings occur may change completely.

If that happens, Lee Jae-hyun will not be able to stop the incident.

‘No matter how much I think about it, patrolling this area is the best option.’

Besides, it’s also burdensome to chase after Choi Max-hyun…

For no reason, Lee Jae-hyun himself could be accused of being a suspicious person.

That’s understandable, because not long ago, he was accused of being a suspicious person and the police were dispatched.

“……I guess I’ll have to suffer for a while.”

As soon as Lee Jae-hyun relaxed, he felt a rush of fatigue and muttered while pressing his temples with his thumbs.

Although it was another wasted effort, Jaehyun Lee did not give up.

He eventually found the alleged kidnapping site on Monday.

This time, Serhen headed to the playground, and Jaehyun Lee came to the alley.

3pm.

Now it’s time for the kids to finish school and head to their academies.

The alley was still deserted.

There were only one or two ladies walking around, each carrying a bag of groceries, or people walking their dogs.

Still, I sat there for about an hour, and I could count on one hand the number of people who passed by.

Lee Jae-hyun is also human, so he kept tightening his tension and prepared for when Park Ye-chan would appear.

Since I hadn’t slept properly for several days, it was inevitable that my body would become sluggish.

Lee Jae-hyun, who tried to regain control of the tension in his body that was starting to loosen slightly, raised his hand, swept his face once, and exhaled.

widely.

widely.

widely.

I can hear someone walking at the end of the alley.

Jaehyun Lee turned his head slightly and looked into the alley, and the person walking towards him waved at him with a happy face.

“Bachelor. See you again?”

“Hello, sir.”

The old lady who was there when I went out last time after receiving a report about a cat.

Since they had met just yesterday, Jaehyun Lee bowed his head in greeting as usual.

“Just like last time, you’re a police officer, but you don’t wear police uniforms?”

“Oh, yes. Today is my day off.”

Lee Jae-hyun nodded and answered the grandmother’s question as she slowly approached him.

“Grandma, are you drawing?” she asked, then sat down next to Jaehyun Lee and continued speaking.

“It’s a day off, but it doesn’t feel like you’re resting?”

“I can’t relax on my day off because it seems like someone is harassing the cat.”

“Oh my. But still, people need to rest when it’s time to rest.”

“haha…….”

Grandma is nagging.

At the voice that lightly scolded him, Lee Jae-hyun smiled awkwardly.

It’s true that I should rest when I have to rest, but I couldn’t rest because now wasn’t the ‘time to rest’.

How can I rest until I catch Park Ye-chan?

At Jaehyun Lee’s reaction, the grandmother looked back at Jaehyun Lee and sighed in worry.

“I guess you couldn’t sleep today either?”

“Oh, yes. I think it’s insomnia.”

“Then that won’t do. It won’t do. I brought it to drink. I’ll have to give you a drink.”

As she said that, the grandmother took out a thermos from the small bag she was holding in her hand.

Lee Jae-hyun opened his mouth while looking at the thermos with a puzzled look.

“What is that?”

“Ginger tea. One cup of this will relax your body and mind, help you sleep well, and relieve all your tension.”

Grandma opened the lid of the thermos and said.

Creak.

As soon as Jaehyun Lee opened the thermos, the smell of ginger made him shake his head.

It didn’t seem like it would taste bad with the sweet honey scent, but… … I had no intention of drinking what my grandmother brought me.

To begin with, I had no intention of letting my guard down right now.

“It’s okay. Please eat it, sir.”

“No, I already drank earlier.”

Although Jaehyun Lee refused, the grandmother smiled as if it was okay and poured ginger tea into the thermos lid.

“It’s okay if you don’t take care of me like this…….”

“I am grateful for what adults give me, and I take it and eat it.”

As the grandmother spoke, she handed Jaehyun a glass of ginger tea from a thermos lid.

Lee Jae-hyun eventually accepted the ginger tea and bowed his head slightly in greeting.

“Thank you. I will enjoy my drink.”

After greeting each other like that, I tried to take a sip of ginger tea.

Suddenly, thoughts crossed his mind.

You were there last time the cat was lying down, in the mart parking lot, and if we met here too… … .

The walking path that the grandmother walks along overlaps with the places where Park Ye-chan is believed to have committed crimes.

Maybe, Lee Jae-hyun might have found Park Ye-chan, whom he had missed.

With that thought in his mind, Jaehyun Lee put down the ginger tea he was holding to his lips and turned his head to look at his grandmother.

“Elder.”

“Huh?”

The grandmother’s gaze is focused on the ginger tea that Jaehyun Lee is holding, then she raises her head at his call and makes eye contact with Jaehyun Lee.

Lee Jae-hyun glanced at the ginger tea his grandmother was looking at, then asked her a question first.

“Do you come around here often?”

“Well, what can I do at this age? There’s nothing else to do at home. If I don’t want to die, I have to move around often and exercise.”

At his grandmother’s words, Jaehyun Lee hesitated and then smiled awkwardly.

I always don’t know how to interpret it when an older person mentions ‘death’.

Jaehyun Lee shrugged and continued.

“Are you still in good spirits?”

“I’m able to live like this because I move around often.”

Actually, my grandmother really did look quite neat.

It’s true that he looks old, but he doesn’t look weak when he walks.

At least he didn’t appear to have any health problems.

Lee Jae-hyun let out another awkward laugh at his grandmother’s words that this was the only way they could live.

“Haha. Then, Grandma, have you seen anyone suspicious recently?”

“Because of the cat?”

“yes.”

Lee Jae-hyun nodded obediently to his grandmother’s question.

I don’t know how long it takes to get around or how many times a day you get around.

The route overlapped with the location where child kidnapper and murderer Park Ye-chan is believed to have committed his crimes.

You may have seen Park Ye-chan walking around.

However, the grandmother shook her head firmly, shattering Jaehyun Lee’s small expectations.

“I also always pay attention to cats whenever I go out to drink because I wonder if there’s another cat sleeping there, but I haven’t seen any.”

“I see… Well, there have been no instances of people you’ve never seen before wandering around the neighborhood, right?”

Lee Jae-hyun asked again.

The grandmother opened her mouth and looked at Jaehyun Lee with a strange expression.

“It wasn’t like there weren’t any…?”

“Really? Is it a misunderstanding…….”

At his grandmother’s words, Jaehyun Lee quickly leans in and continues speaking, and laughter bursts out.

The grandmother let out a small laugh at Jaehyun Lee’s anxious appearance.

She raised her hand, pointed at Jaehyun Lee, and continued speaking.

“I didn’t see you often before, but I’ve been seeing you a lot lately.”

“Ah… No, was there anyone else besides me?”

“There wasn’t anything in particular… Do you like cats? You seem to care a lot.”

The grandmother spoke while staring intently into Jaehyun Lee’s eyes.

Lee Jae-hyun hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

I can see you’re putting a lot of effort into it, so I guess you like cats.

As his grandmother said that, Lee Jae-hyun couldn’t help but think of Choi Dae-hyun, whom he had seen at the playground last time.

Right now, what he was concerned about was not the cat, but Choi Dae-hyun, an 11-year-old boy who should be living a happy life.

Lee Jae-hyun opened his mouth, exhaling.

“Yes, well… isn’t it lovely?”

In response to his sincere words, the grandmother nodded indifferently as if she wasn’t very interested, then raised her hand and pointed to the ginger tea in Jaehyun Lee’s hand.

“It’s cute. It’s a bit noisy sometimes, though. Anyway, hurry up and clean it up and give it to me. My son is coming, so I have to go back soon.”

“Oh, okay. Thank you.”

When his son told him that he had to leave quickly, Jaehyun Lee emptied the ginger tea he was holding in one gulp.

Hurup.

As the warm ginger tea enters my body, I feel like my tension is relieved for a moment.

As soon as Jaehyun Lee drank the ginger tea, the grandmother smiled.

“Why are you drinking so hastily? Hand me the lid.”

“Yes, Grandma. Thank you.”

“Thank you for your hard work.”

The grandmother closed the thermos lid, put it back in her bag, and waved her hand.

She got up from her seat and walked away as if she had no regrets.

Lee Jae-hyun, left alone again, leaned against the bench and waited for Park Ye-chan.

How long have I waited like that?

I guess it’s because I haven’t slept well for the past few days.

Or maybe the ginger tea my grandmother gave me would be effective?

I was slowly starting to fall asleep.

Lee Jae-hyun felt his eyelids drooping heavily and frowned.

It was natural for my body to be tired, but it was strange that I suddenly felt sleepy when I was so tense.

“I can understand if it’s because you suddenly relaxed…….”

Right now, isn’t this a situation where you can never relax?

It was unnatural.

After thinking about it that much.

Lee Jae-hyun could suddenly recall what his grandmother had said earlier as he felt the taste of ginger on his lips.

‘Ginger tea. One cup of this will relax your body and mind, help you sleep well, and relieve all your tension.’

Why did that suddenly come to mind at this moment?

In my head, alarm bells ring.

The old lady who was there when I went out after receiving a report about a cat.

Grandma’s walking path overlaps with the suspected crime scene.

Clearly, if Park Ye-chan had kidnapped her, it should have been shown on the CCTV, but it wasn’t shown at all.

My head started spinning quickly.

What if the child kidnapping and murder case that occurred in the past life was not Park Ye-chan’s sole crime?

‘Ah… … . Shit.’

Lee Jae-hyun, who had thought that far, finally closed his eyes as he felt his body go limp.

I was so sleepy that I couldn’t do anything anymore.

The last thing he could do was.

‘Serhen… … .’

It was a matter of calling Serhen, even if only inwardly.

So he lost consciousness.
