#Episode 58

All the police officers at Hansung District Police Station looked at Choi Dae-hyun’s father’s cell phone with tense faces.

The voice heard over the phone was definitely that of an adult male, although it was mixed with mechanical sounds and was distorted.

Meanwhile, the police were busy.

On one hand, his hands were moving quickly to track the phone.

Team leader Oh Cheol-jin hurriedly sat down in front of the computer, turned the monitor towards the child’s father, and tried to communicate using a notepad.

-What, why aren’t you answering? Could it be that the child is dying…?

The child’s father was unable to answer for a moment as he nodded his head while reading the words “Please follow our instructions” that appeared on the monitor.

Immediately a threat is heard.

The child’s father opened his mouth hurriedly.

“Please! Please spare the child. I will somehow get the money.”

The child’s father spoke in an urgent voice.

I exchange a few brief words with the kidnapper.

Lee Jae-hyun clenched his fists when he heard the kidnapper’s voice.

The guy continued the conversation pretending to be calm and relaxed, but… … one of the emotions in his voice was ‘fear.’

Park Ye-chan is afraid of the current situation.

-So, how long can you prepare by?

“Hey, if you give me just an hour… I’ll quickly withdraw the money and get it ready. Where should I go?”

The child’s father, who was answering the voice on the other end of the phone, asks after seeing the word ‘location’ hastily written by Team Leader Oh Cheol-jin.

However, Park Ye-chan didn’t give any clues at all.

―Hey, you. If you plant rice seedlings and blink once, will the rice grow?

At those words, everyone stopped and looked at each other.

I was wondering what that meant.

Only Lee Jae-hyun, who knew from the beginning that Park Ye-chan was from Icheon and that he was a farmer there, immediately understood what the boy was saying.

This means that you shouldn’t rush things.

Since Team 4 had already figured out the guy’s whereabouts, they understood half a beat later.

The child’s father, who had no information about the kidnapper, frowned.

I deliberately did not disclose any information about the kidnapper until the investigation of the child’s father and mother was completed in case other clues were found, so as not to identify anyone.

To begin with, there wasn’t enough time to talk.

The child’s father, who of course did not understand the situation, made a puzzled voice.

“Huh? What is that…….”

―You’re so impatient. I’ll have the money ready in an hour. I’ll call you back in exactly an hour. Then call me back later… … .

Whatever it is, what’s important right now is for Park Ye-chan to make her position known.

The point is that it didn’t give any hints about where the meeting point was.

Just as the boy was about to end the call, the boy’s father, who had read the message that he needed to buy more time, stood up from his seat in an earnest voice and opened his mouth.

“Teacher! Teacher……! Before you go, please let me hear my child’s voice just once.”

The father’s question was wise, as he also had to check on the child’s safety.

but.

-Sleeping.

After answering that bluntly, Park Ye-chan immediately hung up the phone.

The child’s father collapsed in his seat.

Lee Jae-hyun raised his head and looked in the direction where Min Ji-hye was.

She was trying to locate Park Ye-chan with another police officer… … .

Min Ji-hye sighs softly and shakes her head.

Unable to specify location.

The police officers swore softly.

Jaehyun Lee clenched his fists and took a deep breath.

Jaehyun Lee, who was looking around the messy interior of the police station, eventually walked outside.

I felt like I needed to quietly gather my thoughts.

The place he headed to was the beverage vending machine in front of the police station.

Dull.

Dull.

Two cans of coffee fall one after another.

Lee Jae-hyun turned around, taking out the coffee.

Park Dae-hyung was leaving the police station and walking towards the vending machine.

Lee Jae-hyun handed Park Dae-hyung a can of coffee he had just taken out.

“Did you know it was going to come out and pick two?”

“I thought one of my seniors would come out.”

“Oh my…….”

Park Dae-hyung shook his head as if he was dumbfounded and accepted the canned coffee that Lee Jae-hyun offered.

He gulped down his coffee roughly and opened his mouth.

“How am I going to catch this kid? I can’t just wait for an hour.”

Park Dae-hyung speaks as if he feels frustrated.

Lee Jae-hyun nodded slightly.

Like an idiot, I didn’t recognize the accomplice in the kidnapping and murder of Choi Max-hyun right before my eyes and let it go.

That doesn’t mean Lee Jae-hyun was really stupid.

He was called a ‘mad dog’ because he was so good at catching criminals during his days as a detective.

Jaehyun Lee calmly opened his mouth and began to briefly explain the thoughts he had just organized.

“It is highly likely that it will be two thousand days.”

“Because it’s my hometown?”

Park Dae-hyung takes a sip of his canned coffee and asks.

It may be because Go Hyun-sook and Park Ye-chan’s hometown is Icheon, but Lee Jae-hyun was able to tell the story more clearly because he knew where and how Park Ye-chan died in her past life.

However, it was not something I said out of complacency, thinking, ‘It was like this in my last life, so it will be like this time too.’

“Yes. I was feeling anxious while talking on the phone. I will naturally find a place where I can feel at ease.”

“hmm…….”

Clearly, Park Ye-chan’s voice on the phone was filled with anxiety and fear.

Of course.

It’s child kidnapping.

Even if they had made up their minds, the fact that they had committed a serious crime could not help but bring about fear.

In times of fear, people instinctively seek out places where they feel safe.

‘And people usually don’t feel safe in places they are familiar with.’

I don’t know if he’s a sociopath or a psychopath, but he’s not that type.

Of course, Park Ye-chan’s mother, Koh Hyun-sook, is a variable… … .

Lee Jae-hyun also thought carefully about that part.

“And, the opponent is more cautious than you think. Considering that Go Hyun-sook tested the effectiveness and efficiency of sleeping pills on cats for several days and even fooled the police, she moved cleverly… She will never tell you where she met you an hour later.”

Go Hyun-sook showed herself to be extremely cautious.

Even, it’s clever.

He also deceived the police officer Lee Jae-hyun, and even… …. Last time, at the grocery store parking lot, Lee Jae-hyun was suspected of being the person who raised the hand, so he was questioned by the police and did not show up.

Naturally, this means that Koh Hyun-sook had reported it.

That means he not only deceived the police, he also took advantage of them.

Thinking about it like that, you can see that they are somewhat looking down on the police, but at the same time, they are wary of them.

Lee Jae-hyun continued to explain his thoughts.

“Even if you say so, it’s not a tangent, but a place to turn the wheel, or to check if the police are with you.”

“That makes perfect sense. I think they might have reported it to the police anyway.”

Park Dae-hyung nodded in agreement to Lee Jae-hyun’s words.

Even to him, Lee Jae-hyun’s reasoning was not at odds with common sense.

“Yes. They will probably change the trading location several times. They will naturally lead you to the vicinity of Icheon… They will trade carefully at the place they know best.”

“Then I should have gone to Icheon in the first place.”

“No, that won’t work.”

At Park Dae-hyung’s words, Lee Jae-hyun immediately shook his head.

Those guys are going to Icheon, so I have to go to Icheon?

That was absolutely unacceptable.

In the last life, the guys went to Icheon and what happened in the end?

Choi Max-hyun died, and Park Ye-chan held on, wounding police officers and taking advantage of the confusion to drink pesticide.

He was taken to the hospital, but eventually died.

It was not something I wanted Park Ye-chan to do, but I couldn’t let Choi Dae-hyun, who was now 11 years old, meet his death.

“You’re saying we can’t go to Icheon? What do you mean?”

“Getting to a place where they feel safe ultimately means exposing their hiding place to a child, so how can they leave the child alone?”

Park Dae-hyung tilted his head with a puzzled expression and asked.

Lee Jae-hyun calmly answered his question.

It’s the same logic as a kidnapper not letting someone live who has seen his face.

The moment their hideout is revealed, they will erase the option of letting Choi Max-hyun live.

At his words, Park Dae-hyung’s face hardened and he nodded.

“No way.”

“They probably don’t want to expose their hideout, so they’ll try to stay as close to Icheon as possible, but they won’t trade there. If they do reach Icheon… the child’s life will be in danger.”

So, we can’t let Koh Hyun-sook and Park Ye-chan arrive in Icheon.

A place close to where you feel safe, but without the risk of your hideout being exposed.

There, I had to get Choi Max-hyun back.

“We shouldn’t go to Icheon first, but we have to catch them before they get to Icheon?”

“Yes.”

Park Dae-hyung asked me to confirm whether my understanding was correct.

Lee Jae-hyun nodded at his words.

“……Youngest.”

“Yes, Officer Park.”

“You, you’re not just lucky in catching violent criminals up until now, are you?”

Park Dae-hyung looked at Lee Jae-hyun with an expression of admiration.

Lee Jae-hyun made an awkward expression and let out a sly laugh.

“……Thanks to the good teachings of Officer Park.”

“Inma, what did I teach you?”

Park Dae-hyung said that and patted Lee Jae-hyun on the back with his palm as if he had done well.

Lee Jae-hyun flinched and took his hand.

Park Dae-hyung was giving all the credit to Lee Jae-hyun, asking what he had taught him… … .

‘Really, I learned everything from my brother.’

In my past life, I learned everything about how to live as a detective from Park Dae-hyung.

The same goes for what I just told Park Dae-hyung.

It was a natural inference.

Of course, this is a story that could not have been inferred if one were not sure that Park Ye-chan would eventually go to Icheon.

Doesn’t Lee Jae-hyun know that the guy killed a child while holding out in Icheon and injured the police who came to arrest him?

Knowing that, it was as natural as breathing for me to make such inferences as a detective.

“Let’s go back in first. We need to come up with a plan.”

“yes.”

Lee Jae-hyun nodded at Park Dae-hyung’s words and emptied the canned coffee in one gulp.

So Jaehyun Lee is about to head back to Earth.

“Youngest.”

“Yes, Officer Park.”

At the sound of Park Dae-hyung calling, Lee Jae-hyun turned to look at him.

His face was expressionless, but his voice was firm, as if suppressing anger.

“Let’s catch that kid.”

“……yes.”

Lee Jae-hyun answered with his teeth clenched, and crushed the can he was holding in his hand.
