Episode 16: Something’s Suspicious

I was hiding in a place where I could see the ship well and spying on Wi Jun-woo and Ki So-young’s actions.

If the situation looks like the two of them are going to board the boat, I should also quickly head towards the boat.

The backs of the two of them, arm in arm, looked as affectionate as any other couple.

[… … Are you jealous?]

‘I’m jealous. I know it’s all fake.’

[You haven’t even tried that fake, Hyungwang.]

‘… … .’

[Is it time for me to cry?]

“Be quiet. We’re in the middle of an important operation!”

I managed to silence Aliotta with great difficulty and continued to steal glances at the two of them.

The two, who seemed to be looking around, slowly approached Grandfather Kim Deok-su’s boat. They were afraid that if they approached that boat from the beginning, they would be noticed.

The two are talking to Kim Deok-su, who is sitting on the boat.

Although he was said to be close to 70 years old, Kim Deok-su gave off more of a ‘seafarer’ vibe than an ‘old man’ vibe.

His face and arms were tanned by the sun and sea breeze, and his face was deeply wrinkled. However, his hands were very quick in mending the net, and the muscles in his arms that could be seen slyly looked very firm.

[Height is 170.4cm. Weight is 58kg.]

‘It’s not that big, though.’

[It looks very solid.]

‘yes.’

If there was a weapon there, even if it was 1 vs. 2, even if it was a young man, I thought I could easily take him down.

‘The atmosphere looks good. Should I get ready to go out soon?’

[No. Those two are coming back?]

Huh? Really?

The two who were expected to board the boat bowed their heads to Kim Deok-su and then turned around and started walking away.

‘What the heck? If I had known this would happen, I would have listened in to see what they were talking about.’

[Shall we listen now?]

‘No, that’s fine. Just ask him yourself.’

Ki So-young, who had been performing method acting until the end, finally let go of Grandfather Kim Deok-su’s arms after he was out of sight.

Just a moment ago, she was smiling with a coquettish voice, but as soon as she let go of his arms, her expression turned blank.

‘Wow. How can you change so quickly? It’s creepy.’

[I think I chose the wrong path. I should have gone into acting.]

“Chief, what’s wrong? Why didn’t you come back on the boat?”

“Oh, that’s it.”

“If Grandpa refuses, I will ask for more money. It is important to get on board the ship no matter what.”

“I know that too.”

“But what if you just come like this?”

“Oh, that’s right!”

“Huh?”

“Let’s talk, let’s talk! If you look closely, the inspector only talks about himself. He doesn’t listen.”

Aliotta also struck the drum in front of Wei Jun-woo, who was frowning.

[Right! Even when I first met you. You turn it off whenever you try to say something, and turn it off whenever you try to do something. Huh? You’re a repeat offender.]

I’m getting more and more confused when I’m being attacked from both sides.

I closed my eyes, shook my head, and waved my hands.

“Wait a minute! Both of you stop for a second.”

“I didn’t say anything?”

“That’s not what Kisoyoung said.”

Ki So-young, who was looking at me with an expression like, “What kind of crazy person is this?”, ignored me and asked Wi Jun-woo again.

“So, what happened?”

“I went to Grandpa Kim Deok-su as the inspector told me to and asked him to let me on the boat. I wanted to go sea fishing.”

“And then?”

“Then, later in the afternoon, it will be long.”

“You should have said you would go now even if I offered you more money. Isn’t that turning it down and refusing?”

“no.”

Wi Jun-woo waved his hand.

“He said he’d give me half price if I came later this afternoon. He told me not to go anywhere else and to come to him.”

“Hmm. That’s strange. Is there any reason why the ship can’t move right now?”

As I stroked my chin and became lost in thought, Wi Jun-woo continued talking as if that wasn’t all.

“There are even stranger things.”

“What is it?”

“If other ships find out that I’m giving them such cheap shipping, there’ll be chaos. Don’t tell anyone else.”

“That could be possible. If you let me fight alone, what will the other ships say?”

“No, it wasn’t. It was almost as if we were trying to keep the fact that we were on a boat a secret.”

“Secretly?”

“I told you not to let anyone know that you’re coming to the boat. When you come in the afternoon, don’t come straight to the dock, but go around to the market.”

“!”

Don’t come straight to the dock, go towards the market.

[Didn’t you say that the two college students were last seen at the market?]

‘There’s something going on, old man.’

“It seems suspicious, right?”

“That’s right.”

“The inspector said that my stomach looked strange, but I just didn’t know for sure. But the more I talked to him, the more suspicious I became of that old man.”

I nodded quietly.

“What are you going to do now?”

“well.”

“It’s suspicious, but nothing has come out yet. And there’s no basis for applying for a search warrant.”

Since it’s not my case, I can’t step forward and direct the investigation. As for issuing a search warrant or arrest warrant, I haven’t found any evidence that would be worth bringing in yet.

It would be a waste to hand over the suspicious circumstances we discovered to other investigation teams or the police.

“There’s nothing we can do. We have no choice but to continue investigating.”

“How?”

“You told me to come back in the afternoon, didn’t you? Let’s have lunch and come back later.”

Mr. Kisoyoung, who had been quiet until now, frowned deeply.

“You have to act as lovers again in the afternoon?”

“Right, it’s hard, right? This is, well. Acting requires immersion. It’ll be hard to act against Wi Jun-woo. I know that.”

“What? Why are you looking at me like that?”

I glanced at him and Wi Jun-woo responded as if he was having a seizure. I shook my head and tried to calm Giso-young down.

“I’ll treat you later. How about some jajangmyun and tangsuyuk?”

“Instead of Jjajang, I’d like Samseon Jjamppong.”

“call!”

“You don’t shoot meat? Korean beef?”

“… … .”

“Then pork belly? Pork belly?”

“… … .”

“Why? I am sacrificing my life to become a saint, so can’t you shoot me to that extent?”

I smiled brightly at Wi Jun-woo.

“Chief, do you like military dumplings?”

“uh…….”

I just smiled. Wei Junwoo, who was looking into my eyes, suddenly started sweating.

And then for a moment, his eyes shook wildly from side to side.

“No! If it’s sweet and sour pork, it’s great!”

What the heck, if someone saw me they’d think I was in the military.

* * *

Kim Deok-su looked around the ship one last time. He didn’t really need to prepare anything. It was just a habit.

I wasn’t going to catch any fish, but I checked the prepared nets and made sure the fishing nets and rods were in place.

And next to it.

Hook.

A smile escaped from Kim Deok-su’s mouth as he looked at the sharp tip.

Even if he’s young, even if he’s a man, it’s no use.

Young guys aren’t made of steel.

It wasn’t planned at first. Two women who said they were visiting Seoul and wanted to go sea fishing. I took them on a boat to earn some money.

The two were taking pictures of each other and squealing as they were having so much fun on the surging sea. Kim Deok-su thought the high-pitched voices of the young women were irritating to his ears.

That’s what it was.

At some point, the women’s white skin came into his eyes. Long legs revealed under shorts. Slender arms.

The woman resisted more strongly than I thought. I didn’t intend to kill her, but I couldn’t help it.

The woman in front kicked and resisted, and the other one grabbed his neck from behind. He had to knock at least one of them down.

He grabbed something he could get his hands on and swung it, but the hook hit the woman’s head straight in. The woman fell down as if she was falling apart.

“Sister! Sister-!”

The woman behind her screamed when she saw her.

‘Noisily.’

Kim Deok-su also swung the hook at her head.

It happened in an instant. Two women were lying on the boat, bleeding.

Tch.

Kim Deok-su, who had been thinking for a moment, drove the boat a little further toward Neoulmok. That way, the water flows out, so it won’t flow to the land.

He took off the life jacket of the fallen woman and threw her over the railing.

with a plop.

A corpse sinking within a few seconds. No, maybe it was still breathing. Like this second woman.

The woman, bleeding profusely from her head, still had her heart pounding.

Kim Deok-su, who was also taking off the second woman’s life jacket, suddenly looked at her. She had been hit in the head and was lying on the ground bleeding, but she seemed to still be alive.

Her chest was rising and falling, and I could hear her moans faintly.

Kim Deok-su, who was looking at the woman lying on the floor, spat over the railing.

“Since you’re going to die anyway, think of it as doing something good for the elderly.”

His sinister hands caught the fallen woman.

The two bodies thrown into the sea did not surface.

Two women, both co-workers, went missing while on vacation in Seoul, and police launched an investigation but found no clues.

Police officers came to the dock several times after hearing that he had finally gone on a boat, but fortunately no one saw him take the two women on board.

Time passed like that.

Although it was not intentional, the murder he committed became a perfect crime. He sometimes recalled the memories of that day while touching the loot hidden in the storage room inside the fishing boat.

Then, another opportunity came. It was a young college student, a man and a woman. There was a man in the group, but it didn’t matter.

After all, he is the king on the sea. What could he be hesitant about when he is even holding a grappling hook?

This time, he left instructions to come in the afternoon when there were not many people, and to go around to the market. This was to eliminate any possible witnesses.

They were persuaded by the promise that they would be able to get on board for half the price of other ships, and that they would not be able to get it for this cheap if others found out, so they agreed without any doubt.

It was rather easy after going out to the sea. The two people who had their backs turned and were whispering while looking at the sea. What did they believe in that made them so defenseless?

First, he struck the man’s leg with the hook and knocked him down. Then, he struck the man’s torso once more, and then he picked him up while he was groaning in pain and threw him into the sea.

A woman who cried out for help while in deep thought. Last time, she was able to satisfy her greed only after almost killing someone. This time, will it be possible to do so while still alive?

He was looking at the woman who was on her knees begging for her life with a bitter smile on her face, when suddenly a thud was heard from behind him.

The man who was thought to have fallen into the sea was climbing up, clutching at his boat, looking just like that.

Without a moment’s hesitation, he walked back to the railing and swung his hook at the man trying to climb up. Shoulder, arm. And finally, head.

Swish-.

With a terrible sound, the man fell into the water again.

I can never climb back up again.

Then I heard a scream. I felt like I was losing my mind seeing my boyfriend being treated so badly.

Without even kneeling or saying a word to save me, I just kept walking backwards and screaming. My eyes were so wide that I thought I would collapse, foaming at the mouth.

Even though this was the middle of the ocean, he had no choice but to swing his hook at the woman, wondering if anyone would hear his screams.

The woman fell with a loud thud, convulsed a few times, and then became quiet. She probably passed out, since she couldn’t have died from one blow.

Tch.

I was a little annoyed for a moment, but it was okay. I was going to kill him anyway when it was all over. Whether he died a little early or a little late.

He put down the hook and reached out to the woman.

* * *

As he checked the bricks one last time – this time he was going to tie them up and throw them into the sea just to be sure, since the bodies of the second man and woman had been found – he heard a noise behind him.

“Hello, Grandpa. We’re here.”

“Welcome.”

The man she had seen in the morning was smiling at her. He was a man who really didn’t dress well, unlike other young men. Just by looking at his attire, she could tell he was a man in his 40s.

Of course, what do you think?

“Didn’t you tell anyone you were coming here?”

“Yes. I came back towards the market as you said. Are you really giving me half price?”

“Then. Am I supposed to say two things with one mouth?”

“Hello, Grandpa.”

A woman wearing a pink jacket greeted me from behind with a smile.

“You too, young lady, come quickly.”

Anyway, today’s target is that woman.

“Get on the horse, Ungneung. Before anyone sees.”

He smiled as good-naturedly as a grandfather could and extended his hand to the woman.
