#Episode 56

Lee Jae-hyun took a moment to catch his breath while Park Dae-hyung arrived.

My heart is beating fast, and I feel like my whole body is tense with tension and regret.

Phew.

He let out a sharp breath, looked up and saw Serhen looking at him, and opened his mouth.

“why?”

“No, well. First of all… there’s no need to blame yourself too much. What’s going to happen is going to happen, and the destiny that can be changed is limited. No matter how hard you try, those are things that you can’t change….”

“I could have stopped it. If only I had thought a little more carefully.”

What’s meant to happen is meant to happen?

Stop talking nonsense.

Lee Jae-hyun has prevented several incidents and caught criminals so far.

A representative example is Myeongjinhan, whom he first caught.

Originally, three more people should have died at the hands of Myeongjinhan.

The victims, Jeong Mi-rae, Lee Jae-hyun’s father Lee Han-cheol, and lastly, Myeong Jin-han herself.

But Jaehyun Lee saved all three of them… … and didn’t he make sure that Jinhan Myeong received a proper trial?

Obviously, this incident could have been prevented, but he was too foolish to do so.

But Serhen’s thoughts seemed to be different from Jaehyun Lee’s, so she shrugged her shoulders and continued speaking.

“There is definitely a predetermined fate, and it is impossible for people to stop it. The kidnapping was something that had to happen, so just accept it.”

“How do you do that…….”

“So, contractors, focus on what you can do.”

Lee Jae-hyun tried to say something more, but Serhen frowned and continued.

Focus on what you can do.

At those words, Lee Jae-hyun nodded.

I couldn’t agree with Serhen’s statement that there is a set destiny and that no one can stop it.

I could fully agree that we should ‘focus on what we can prevent’.

The kidnapping has already taken place.

Then, what Jaehyun Lee can do is… …. prevent the child from being killed and return safely to his parents.

As he was gathering his thoughts, Serhen opened his mouth.

“I promise.”

“what?”

“If you catch that kidnapper… I will make sure that when he dies, he receives a proper judgment in hell.”

Serhen looks at Jaehyun Lee and says.

If I catch him, I’ll give him a proper judgement.

Ironically, since it was the devil who said it, I believed it.

Jaehyun Lee looked straight into Serhen’s eyes, which seemed to be filled with flames from deep within.

And at that moment, Jaehyun Lee was able to realize that Serhen was just as angry as he was.

Last time, when the attempted child murder case broke out, you were also angry.

Are you angry because this incident involved a child?

Whatever the reason.

When he saw Serhen making his promise in anger, Jaehyun Lee felt his heart grow cold.

He clenched his fist and opened his mouth.

“……Me too, I promise.”

“What?”

“I will catch you no matter what.”

Lee Jae-hyun spoke with a firm voice.

Serhen laughed lightly at his words.

Since Lee Jae-hyun said, “I’ll catch it,” there hasn’t been a case where he hasn’t caught it.

She, too, could naturally trust Jaehyun Lee.

* * *

Not long after, Park Dae-hyung arrived.

I called to see if it was true that he was nearby, and he came back less than 10 minutes later.

Serhen disappeared when Park Dae-hyung arrived.

Lee Jae-hyun bowed his head slightly to Sergeant Min Ji-hye, who was approaching him quickly with Park Dae-hyung, and greeted him.

“Let me explain the situation first. I was sitting here on the bench when an old lady came and…….”

“How is your physical condition?”

After greeting each other, I was about to explain the situation, but Min Ji-hye frowned and asked.

Lee Jae-hyun hesitated and looked at Min Ji-hye.

Min Ji-hye looked up and down his body while waiting for Lee Jae-hyun’s answer.

Jaehyun Lee answered in a strange voice.

“I’m fine. I just have a little muscle pain, but I’m fine…….”

“Muscle pain? Are you sure you took sleeping pills?”

Min Ji-hye asks Lee Jae-hyun’s question.

Lee Jae-hyun nodded immediately.

“Yes. As soon as I drank the ginger tea that my grandmother gave me, I immediately felt drowsy and passed out. That was an hour ago……”

“But it’s muscle pain… It might not be just sleeping pills. Let’s go to the hospital first.”

“It’s okay. The child is missing, and the police officer is asleep after taking sleeping pills. The child is in danger, so the child first…….”

“It seems like you don’t realize that you are the active police officer who just took the sleeping pill and fell asleep.”

Min Ji-hye speaks as if she is frustrated.

Her words and actions were filled with concern for Lee Jae-hyun.

Even though he knew that, Jaehyun Lee knew what was important right now.

Choi Max-hyun, the kidnapped child’s whereabouts.

Taking sleeping pills doesn’t cause any physical problems.

As Min Ji-hye said, there is no possibility that there was anything else in it besides sleeping pills.

Because Serhen said earlier, ‘It’s fortunate that there was nothing else besides sleeping pills.’

“First, since the condition doesn’t seem serious, let’s hear the youngest’s explanation first.”

Eventually, Park Dae-hyung intervenes and speaks.

Min Ji-hye showed on her face that she didn’t like it, but she kept her mouth shut and looked at Lee Jae-hyun.

Lee Jae-hyun continued his explanation.

“She has appeared on CCTV several times. I think we can check her identity after confirming that… There is no way a grandmother could kidnap an 11-year-old child by herself, so there must be an accomplice, and it must be an adult male.”

“You’re being too judgmental, but the child could simply have gone missing…….”

“It seems unlikely that a child would go missing and a police officer would fall asleep after taking sleeping pills by chance.”

Lee Jae-hyun immediately responded to Min Ji-hye’s words.

I couldn’t help but feel like I was speaking too neatly.

From Min Ji-hye’s perspective, it was still unclear whether it was truly a ‘kidnapping’, a ‘runaway’, or a ‘missing person’, but that wasn’t the case for Lee Jae-hyun.

However, Lee Jae-hyun was able to think again that he should not repeat the same mistake after hearing Min Ji-hye’s words.

Park Dae-hyung opens his mouth next to me, perhaps having had similar thoughts.

“That’s true. But it’s dangerous to focus your thoughts on just one thing, so let’s calm down and think about it again.”

As he said that, Lee Jae-hyun nodded.

Min Ji-hye looked back and forth between Park Dae-hyung and Lee Jae-hyun for a moment, perhaps not liking the situation, before opening her mouth.

“Jaehyun should go to the hospital first, and we should go on patrol.”

“Once the situation is over, I will definitely go to the hospital. And probably, the surrounding area will have already left.”

At her suggestion to go to the hospital first, Jaehyun Lee shook his head.

He knew this was going to happen.

Still, I couldn’t help but feel responsible for the fact that I couldn’t stop it.

At the very least, you have to solve this case yourself.

That was the promise Lee Jae-hyun made to himself, and also the promise he shared with Serhen.

but…….

“We’re not detectives. If you suspect someone drank something with drugs in it, go to the hospital first and take care of yourself… Shouldn’t we leave the investigation to the violent crimes division?”

“I’m not a detective, but I’m a police officer. I have the right to investigate, and I have the right to arrest. The more people who move together…….”

“What, you’re saying that with power comes responsibility? What, you’re saying that with great power comes great responsibility, like in the movies?”

Min Ji-hye blocked Lee Jae-hyun and spoke in a slightly rough voice.

Lee Jae-hyun couldn’t help but hesitate a little at the sight of her excited appearance.

From earlier, Min Ji-hye had been trying to get Lee Jae-hyun away from the scene and send him to the hospital.

It was the first time she had shown her emotions so clearly.

“……I didn’t recognize the culprit even though he was right in front of me. Of course, I should take responsibility…….”

“Jaehyun, you’re the youngest. You’re a police officer. If you take responsibility, I, no, Officer Park here, our team leader, will take responsibility.”

Min Ji-hye speaks calmly, feeling sorry for speaking harshly to Lee Jae-hyun.

Despite her words, Lee Jae-hyun couldn’t easily nod.

Yeah, that’s right.

He’s definitely a police officer now… … and no matter what mistakes he makes, there are many people who will take responsibility for him.

But, even though he may look like a police officer on the outside, isn’t he actually a 10-year veteran of the police force?

How many criminals have you arrested as a detective?

How did you get the nickname “Mad Dog”?

It is clear that he did not recognize his accomplice in a child kidnapping and murder case even though he was right in front of him… … .

It was an inevitable task that would place a heavy burden of responsibility on Jaehyun Lee.

“Detective Min Ji-hye.”

“uh.”

“Please help me just this once so I can live like a police officer. If I go to the hospital like this… I think I’ll regret it for the rest of my life.”

Lee Jae-hyun clenched his fists as he said that.

Just yesterday, when I saw Choi Dae-hyun being kidnapped, I vowed to myself that I would protect him no matter what.

I vowed to change the future.

The fact that he couldn’t keep even one thing in mind on such a topic was bothering Jaehyun Lee.

However, Min Ji-hye did not back down and opened her mouth to say something… … .

chin.

Min Ji-hye had no choice but to take a step back as Park Dae-hyung shook his head while putting his hand on her shoulder.

“……Let’s go back to Earth for now. At least we should change our clothes.”

“thank you.”

“And, both of you, cool your heads a bit on your way there.”

After Park Dae-hyung sorted out the situation, he put Lee Jae-hyun and Min Ji-hye in the patrol car he had come in.

And yet, he was looking at Jaehyun Lee with an indescribable, meaningful gaze.

* * *

The situation was moving rapidly.

In reality, only four teams suspected that it was a child kidnapping case, so in the end, only four teams were busy moving around… … .

It was inevitable that the atmosphere throughout the entire district would be chaotic.

Lee Jae-hyun, who has already caught his hands full of violent criminals in recent weeks, including a serial killer, a fratricide, an attempted child murderer, and a conman on the run…

There was even Park Dae-hyung, who had been a detective and was now working at the police station, moving around busily with a serious expression on his face, so it was natural that the entire police station was paying attention.

Knowingly or unknowingly, everyone was helping Team 4 and understanding the situation.

Meanwhile, Jaehyun Lee confirmed the identities of Jihye Min and her grandmother.

“The background check results came back. Her name is Ko Hyun-sook, her husband is dead, and she has a son. Her son’s name is Park Ye-chan.”

“Anything special?”

“I have debt. And… I’m from Icheon. I haven’t been here for very long.”

“Two thousand?”

Park Dae-hyun, who was listening from the side, frowned.

He seemed to think for a moment, then opened his mouth.

“Contact the Icheon police. Tell them to get his identity.”

As Park Dae-hyung gave instructions, Min Ji-hye nodded and tried to contact the local police station.

Charang-

Instead of the usual rattling sound, there was the sound of a door being hurriedly opened, and someone entered the precinct.

The faces of a man and a woman trembling with pale faces.

It was enough to create tension in an already busy Earth.
