94 – Dongmin Lee (29)
Dongmin Lee (29)
Park Sang-woo’s driving skills were new to him.
Park Seong-gang felt nervous and stepped on the accelerator.
When he arrived in front of ‘Kim Hye-eun’s’ house, several minutes had passed since Park Sang-woo had already gone inside.
Hyeeun Kim.
In 『Kang Hae-rin’s Murder Diary』, She appears under the name of ‘Kim Eun-hye’, and she was Park Sang-woo’s first victim.
As well as the contents of the novel, the writer ‘Lee Dong-min’ directly requested her protection from the detectives.
Normally, there would be no excuse, but since he knew the truth of Park Sang-woo, he was under protection and surveillance all the time.
By the way, you’re showing a gap like this.
“Ha ha.”
Park Seong-gang ran up the stairs to her, rebuking herself for being preoccupied with her thoughts about Park Seong-jae.
The door was open.
Perhaps because of the loud noise, some residents of the villa came out and snooped inside, covering their mouths.
“Kyaaa!”
Cudangtang!
Park Seong-gang pushed them and ran.
Categorical crown was seen.
He was a huge man who wouldn’t normally be laid down by someone, but he was being held down by a man with a body similar to him.
Park Sang-woo.
He was riding on top of the categorical belly with his eyes wide open and was punching him in the face with his fists.
Besides, he had a knife in his hand.
A woman was lying on the bed.
Her neck was red with handprints, and from the back of her head, sticky blood was seeping through her hair.
It was probably Kim Hye-eun.
Seonggang Park bit her lip.
She couldn’t protect her after all.
Is she dead?
In the corner was a young man.
He sat down on the floor with his eyes wide open and an expression of horror and astonishment.
Stiffness came to his whole body, and he was unable to stand up or run away, only to be trembling.
Old people and women stomped their feet, not knowing what to do, and there was no middle-aged man, but they too were fed up with Park Sang-woo’s spirit and did not think to help.
“Call 911.”
Park Seong-gang spoke to the man next to her and jumped in.
I grabbed Park Sang-woo’s arm with one hand and pulled him back with the other hand tightening his neck.
Park Seong-gang had a solid physique that did not neglect training, but there was a difference in physique.
That made him even more desperate.
“Ugh, billion…”
Fortunately, his actions had an effect.
For him, who was hit hard by Ban Lee-jae and Kang Hae-rin, it was considered very fortunate that he was able to stop Park Sang-woo’s actions even for a moment.
He couldn’t think of anything more.
He pulled out the handcuffs on his waist.
But when he had barely covered one wrist, Park Sang-woo swung his thick elbow behind him.
It hit Park Seong-gang’s nose.
“Ah!”
Blood flowed from his nose.
In the meantime, Park Sang-woo ran.
“… Ha ha ha…”
Kofi made a circular pattern on the floor.
I tried to chase Park Sang-woo, but my vision was dizzy.
From noble mtl dot com
It seems that not only the nose was injured, but also the brain was shocked.
In the end, I lost Park Sang-woo.
It was the same as the contents of 『Kang Hae-rin’s Murder Diary』.
However, Seongjae Park did not appear.
His role was replaced by Park Seong-gang.
#
“I don’t think the novel fits 100 percent.”
Park Seong-gang said as he got out of the car.
“Park Seong-jae hasn’t appeared yet. No matter how fantasy settings are taken into account, it can’t fit everything from 1 to 10.”
“Is that so?”
“Yeah, to be honest, I still don’t think guys like Ban Yi-jae and Park Sang-woo are characters in a novel. No, let’s say half and half. There must be some unknown trick. It is a much more realistic and logical conclusion that there are lunatics who imitate the novel, rather than the novel becoming material.”
“Hmm. Yes, that makes sense too.”
The categorical type, who had recovered from a thigh injury to some extent, spoke indifferently while limping a little.
However, that indifference was due to what would happen in the future rather than indifference to Park Seong-gang.
“… Dongmin, are you okay?”
“……”
In their eyes, Kang Hae-rin’s mansion was visible.
“… That doesn’t even make sense.”
No matter how rich the daughter is, a woman in her early twenties is not living alone.
A 2.5-Story detached house with a spacious and well-maintained garden in a neighborhood famous for being wealthy.
“Kang Hae-rin’s parents were robbed and killed.”
Park Seong-gang said.
“Of course, that doesn’t mean ‘real’.”
“Yes.”
Categorical said.
“Just like Ban Yi-jae did, Kang Hae-rin is a person who shouldn’t have a ‘past’. Even the authors of those parents must be people who don’t actually exist.”
According to the 『Kang Hae-Rin Murder Diary』, Kang Hae-Rin and her parents, contrary to what is known, killed her because she couldn’t overcome the abuse herself.
Everything was shown in the ambiguous and suggestive expression of ‘that day’, but it was clear.
And that must have been one of the decisive reasons why Kang Hae-rin’s personality was ruined.
“………”
“Let’s go. A house with a monster.”
Categorical type took the lead.
“I can see why Dami is so upset.”
He murmured.
The mansion was spacious and affluent without lacking anything, and it was located at a fairly high place among the wealthy villages.
It looked like a castle.
The outer wall was very high.
“Still, if you are a writer, you won’t know the true nature of Kang Hae-rin, but you will need our help.”
Park Seong-gang said.
The two came after receiving instructions from Idami.
The expression ‘instruction’ was self-deprecating.
Park Seong-gang was reluctant to tease Lee Da-mi while still not revealing her true intentions.
I simply said that the categorical type is getting help from her anyway, so isn’t good good?
The door is open.
However, the atmosphere was different from what was expected.
Lee Dong-min was hostile to the detectives.
“I don’t care about my sister?”
He was very nervous and looked anxious.
He reacted sensitively to even the smallest remarks.
Park Seong-gang seemed very suspicious.
He turned his attention to Kang Haerin-
I found that she was looking at Lee Dong-min with eyes that contained emotions that could not be read at all.
A dreamy yet persistent gaze.
“Baby.”
She grabbed Lee Dong-min’s arm, who was enraged.
“Calm down.”
“………”
Lee Dong-min, who had poured out his anger to the point where he was embarrassed by the category, quickly became docile when he was stopped by her.
That didn’t look natural either.
“Dong Min-ah.”
While Beom Ju-hyeong took Lee Dong-min to the garden, Seong-gang Park was left alone with Hae-rin Kang.
That was the original purpose of coming here.
‘Underground torture chamber. According to Dami, it will be inside this mansion, so you should check it out. We don’t have a search warrant, so we need Dongmin’s help.’
I also said categorical.
Ida-mi thought that just by ‘checking’ the underground torture chamber, she would be able to take issue with an illegal concentration camp, and if she was lucky, she would be able to capture evidence that the place had already been used.
Park Seong-gang, who Lee Da-mi doesn’t like, agreed to her plan.
If you check the torture room, the relationship between fiction and reality becomes clearer, and you can tighten Kang Hae-rin.
While the categorical type with a relationship persuaded Lee Dong-min, Park Seong-gang’s role was to pass the time.
Unexpectedly, Kang Hae-rin did not resist.
She crossed her arms, leaned her body lightly against the wall, and looked at Seonggang Park with a strange smile.
‘It’s different.’
When Lee Dong-min was around, she acted meekly, as if she were her wise mother, but as soon as Lee Dong-min disappeared, only her provocative and arrogant expression came to mind.
“……”
Park Seong-gang looked at it calmly.
As much as she has been through many criminals, she is a strong Rin who is just a pretty girl, at least ‘outwardly’.
In the novel, it was written that reddish eyes glowed occasionally in her eyes, but now nothing unusual like that has happened.
Kang Hae Rin didn’t avoid Park Seong Kang’s staring eyes, nor did she stare at her.
Only the corners of her mouth lifted slightly.
Watching that made me feel weird.
This woman is going to be a terrible serial killer.
She didn’t look like that at all.
But apart from that, the more I look at Haerin Kang, the more I feel strangely twisted.
Just because she’s a potential killer?
“I wish they would just leave us alone.”
At that time, Kang Haerin said.
It was so low that it sounded like a sigh.
A way of speaking that doesn’t matter whether the other person listens or not, rather than expressing one’s intentions.
“…What…?”
“Idami-san won’t leave us alone, right?”
“……”
Park Seong-gang was startled.
Although he didn’t show it off, Kang Hae-rin seemed to have noticed that Lee Da-mi was behind the detectives.
Kang Hae-rin didn’t seem to expect an answer.
“Dongmin will be safe with me.”
“………”
“At least it’s better than a shady older sister who harbors strange feelings for her younger brother.”
“I don’t know what you are talking about.”
“Detectives, please do your job.”
Haerin Kang said.
“Because the more the contents of 『Journal』 Materialize, Dongmin-san will become anxious and difficult. Because he’s such a nice, guilty, and tender soul, yet he’s also a man with a lot of responsibility—you guys, not him, do the right thing.”
“You don’t have to say that.”
Park Seong-gang said coldly.
Ida Mie followed by this woman, I wonder what the detective thinks, she has been giving orders at will.
“What will happen will happen. And there is a huge ‘current’ in the world that mere people can’t control.”
Haerin Kang took a step closer.
She said with enchanting, but inorganic eyes without any seductive intent.
“Did you find Seongjae Park?”
“……”
Park Seong-kang caught his breath at the unexpected name.
“Looks like it’s still there.”
Haerin Kang smiled mockingly.
“…How?”
“How do you know? Of course. Did you know that only you knew that 『Journal』 Was materializing?”
“………”
“If you know what’s going to happen, you can avoid it. I understand?”
Teaching tone.
But if I didn’t pay close attention and listen, I would obey her words as if possessed.
“In the time to take care of our business, catch Park Sang-woo first. You don’t know what’s going to happen next.”
Haerin Kang said coldly.
“Remember. Some people live as accessories of the world, others change it.”
“………”
What is this all of a sudden?
Let’s not get involved.
To this witchy woman.
As Park Seong-gang was about to reply, the front door opened and Category-hyung and Lee Dong-min entered in turn.
Beomju-hyung had a cheerful voice, but the smile on his face was awkward, unlike usual.
Lee Dong-min also had a firm expression.
‘Rejected.’
Park Seong-gang smiled bitterly.
Anyway, while living with Kang Hae-rin, Lee Dong-min seemed to be suffering from some kind of Stockholm Syndrome.
She is like a ticking time bomb. She is a writer and she knows best, but she refuses to cooperate.
Park Seong-gang shot at him.
“Lee Dong-min, please don’t take risks.”
Lee Dong-min said before he turned around.
“I don’t like adventures.”
“………”
I heard that Lee Dong-min has a very weak personality, so he was surprised by the immediate rebuttal.
“… Let me ask you one thing.”
Before he was really about to leave, Seonggang Park said.
Because I suddenly remembered that he was a ‘writer’.
“…It’s okay to say nothing about Kang Hae-rin, but by any chance, do you know who Detective Park Seong-jae is?”
Lee Dong-min’s pupils shook slightly.
It was a short moment, but Seonggang Park captured it.
But he didn’t answer.
“You don’t seem to know. Are you pretending not to know?”
Park Seong-gang said goodbye and left.
#
After that, I kept looking for Seongjae Park.
But he didn’t seem to exist.
On the other hand, he also pursued Park Sang-woo’s activities.
Instead of following Kang Hae-rin’s advice, if something happens anyway, that is, if the novel materializes as it is, Park Sang-woo will commit another murder.
As a detective, he had to stop it.
There was one curious thing.
Kim Hye-eun’s survival.
Of course, she fell into a coma, but the fact that she did not die instantly would have changed the story.
Then, it leads to the conclusion that novels are not 100% materialized.
‘The existence of Park Seong-jae is also…’
Park Seong-jae, Kang Hae-rin’s antagonist, who strangely bothers Park Seong-gang, may also be included in that 10% that is not reflected in reality.
Then he should be the one who should play that role.
We must not repeat the same mistake of missing Park Sang-woo while waiting for Park Seong-jae to appear.
He re-read 『Kang Hae-rin’s Murder Diary』.
Then, he made a surprising discovery.
Unlike his ‘memories’, 『Kang Hae-rin’s Murder Diary』 Described Kim Eun-hye as surviving.
“………”
Even if he reads quickly, Park Seong-gang has a good memory.
Considering that when one element changes, the flow of the novel changes completely, it is unreasonable to say that the author corrected the novel in the meantime.
But there were no rattles in the plot afterwards.
It was developed according to the change in Kim Eun-hye’s situation.
“……”
And while connecting the links of her thoughts for a while, Park Seong-gang realized that she had misremembered.
The novel was originally written this way.
“… Is this right?”
The strange feeling of incongruity was still there, but he shook his head and focused on what was to happen next.
‘What should I prepare for?’
[… Seo In-hwan’s chest was cut five times, and thick blood gushed over it. When he turned his head, he saw a man whose head had been smashed and his brain was dripping. Even though half of his face was crushed, Seongjae Park could recognize him. Because it was spherical. Nam Hee-chan’s revenge on Park Sang-soo was a complete failure.]
From noble mtl dot com
[… The scene was appalling. Besides the two men, two young men were dead with blood on their necks, and the survivors were nearly distraught. “Monster, monster, monster…” “I threw it with one hand!” Ignoring the young man screaming as if he came back alive from hell, Park Seong-jae…]
Park Seong-kang read novels.
“………”
I felt a fishy taste in my mouth.
The novel was composed of strangely unfamiliar and heterogeneous sentences even though it was the first time I had seen it.
Maybe it’s because my brain can’t remember because I’ve read more than 1000 pages over several days.
But it is different from that.
Park Seong-gang clearly felt that the sentence was ‘changed’.
He glared at the screen.
There was no change as the writing wriggled.
He did not take his eyes off 『Kang Hae-rin’s Murder Diary』 And followed Park Seong-jae’s actions.
Park Sang-woo, who fled with a knife in his brother’s thigh, has been missing ever since.
It might be irrational to follow only the scenery described in the novel when the way to find it is unclear.
Nevertheless, Seonggang Park realized little by little.
What will he see in the future?
What could have happened?
His hand gripping the steering wheel became stronger.
The car drove off on a suburban road.
A officetel in xx-gu, Goyang-si, Gyeonggi-do.
There, Park Seong-gang took on the smell of blood.
Catching his rapidly beating heart, he climbed the stairs and knocked on the door in front of the room.
A commotion was heard inside.
Seonggang Park grabbed his handle.
The door opened like a lie.
Hook, the tangible fishy smell hit his nose.
