44. This is important to me
After hearing reporter Shin’s words, Detective Kim couldn’t stand the outburst of swearing.
After swearing like that, Detective Kim put on a serious expression and asked reporter Shin as if to confirm.
“Yes, is that really solid information?”
“Yes. I’m sure it’s from someone I trust. To add to the credibility, this is one of the reasons the government announcement continues to be delayed.”
After hearing what reporter Shin said, Detective Kim tilted his head.
“It’s strange. I heard that the delay is due to conflict between government departments?”
“Ah, that’s right too.”
“Hey, that’s right.”
Detective Kim spat out a laugh with an expression of absurdity.
Reporter Shin continued her explanation with a wry smile.
“Anyway, from what I know, the movement outside was too fast. As if they were preparing for it.”
“… Hmm.”
“I think the information leaked somewhere. It doesn’t make sense to move so fast.”
“That part stings me too, right? Because I did the first leak in the first place. To you too.”
“It is different from that. It wasn’t that important information that the person the detective said was released. The problem seems to have been with the ‘expelled person’.”
Detective Kim asked back with a puzzled face at her words emphasizing ‘expelled persons’.
“Is there a discharged person?”
“That’s all I found out.”
Reporter Shin said that and started to pack his luggage.
“It is rather strange that the Boy Scouts moved so hastily. It seems that the government is also suspicious of this part.”
She said as she put her camera in her bag.
“I wondered if there was some other ulterior motive. Or what, simply… “
“The person leaving the prison is important to them to the extent that they move that quickly.”
“That is correct. You are also competent.”
“If you got to that position by persuasion, I’m the one who got to this place by accident.”
“I am just lucky.”
“In that case, please use that luck in the direction. Don’t waste it on things like journalists.”
At Detective Kim’s criticism, Reporter Shin burst into laughter and said,
“Oh, and. This is not accurate, but among the Boy Scouts that have arrived, there are some really unexpected scouts mixed in.”
“An unexpected scout?”
“Russians are also involved.”
“… What?”
Detective Kim said it with a dumbfounded expression as if it was nonsense.
“Russia? Why are those guys who insist on pure-blood pregnancy and are so sensitive about race issues?”
“That’s why I’m also curious. That’s why I said it’s not accurate. Anyway, that’s all I know.”
Reporter Shin said that and put her bag on her shoulder. Detective Kim asked with a surprised expression.
“Why are you telling me this important information?”
“I told you. Apart from being a journalist, I am also a woman in Korea.”
She said with a confident expression.
“Reporting was both a job and a job, and I wanted to inform the guardians of the discharged prisoner about this.”
“… You have to be able to believe it.”
“Believe or disbelieve is the detective’s heart.
However, please be sure to pass on the information I have said so far to your guardian. Since you’re a detective, I’m asking you to trust me. Then, I’ll just go.”
She walked leisurely through her detectives as if she had finished her business.
Just as she was about to step out the door, she heard Detective Kim’s voice.
“Let’s ask one more question.”
“Which is it?”
“You haven’t changed your mobile number, have you?”
“… Yes. It is the same.”
After answering Detective Kim’s question, she waved her hand at her detectives and went out the door.
When the emergency exit door closed like that,
Reporter Shin sang for joy inside.
‘Good! As expected.’
She said inside that it went as expected and she liked it.
‘I’m sure you asked for the number. Huhuhu.’
She seemed to be in a very good mood, laughing all alone at the emergency exit.
‘Detective Kim would have recognized my skills. And since it’s important information, I’ll pass it on to my guardians. Then, whether you become a guardian or detective Kim, you will try to be close to me.
Huhuhu, it’s a pity that I lost the card to use in the transaction with the guardian, but I’ve laid the groundwork for sure.’
Standing in front of the elevator heading to the underground parking lot, she continued her thoughts.
‘For the time being, let’s only gather information related to the Boy Scouts and the government. Let’s definitely collect cards.’
She climbed into the elevator she arrived in, smiling like a conspiratorial villain.
‘All I have to do is wait until the other side contacts me first.’
…
……
………
“—You must be thinking. b*tch like a raccoon.”
“Yes? Did you not hear me?”
“No. Just talking to myself.”
Detective Kim shrugged his shoulders as if it was no big deal to the youngest detective who asked from the side.
Soon after, Detective Kim looked at the detective next to him and opened his mouth.
“Don’t talk about the stories you just talked about with the reporter… No, just forget about it.”
“… What did you just talk about?”
“Cheuk. Yes, that’s it.
I really like that aspect of the youngest.”
Detective Kim smiled in satisfaction at the act of the quick-witted youngest detective.
After finishing his errands, Detective Kim simply gave the youngest detective the following order, and after leaving a word to work hard, he headed for the emergency exit.
As Detective Kim descended the stairs, he slowly began to organize his thoughts.
‘By the way, what should I do? Why don’t we just talk to Yoonhee? No. Even if not knowing is medicine, knowing about this case might be better medicine.’
She thought as she stroked her chin.
‘If I deceived and conveyed the information I gathered, even Yoon-hee would think it was strange. In the worst case, you may not believe it at all and prevent it, so it may spread into a dangerous situation. If I do something wrong, I’ll become a self-inflicted victim.’
After coming down to the first floor, she concluded with a fishy smile.
‘Yes. For now, I’ll play with your rhythm. But, I have to take responsibility for looking down on me.’
She pulled her business card from her bosom and started looking for one.
Soon she found the business card she was looking for and took it out. On the business card, there was a contact information written along with the name of Jeong Seong-han.
She immediately pulled out her smart phone and started dialing the number on her business card.
Truru. Tururu. Click.
「Hello?」
“Hello? It’s me, sister.”
「Oh, what is it? Have you eaten your meal?」
“Just finished. But I was busy with work, so I ate in a hurry, so I got a bit sick.”
「Oh, you should have been careful. Can I make you a medicine and send it to you?”
“If you do, thank you. By the way, I guess you have some work at the hospital these days?”
「… Oh how did you know I’m still getting a lot of headaches because of that.”
“Well, I just happened to hear it. Anyway, I wanted to talk to you personally, so I thought I’d visit you, okay?”
「It’s okay for me. Let’s see…
Oops~ The hospital schedule is a bit twisted these days. I’ll text you the time and location later. Is that okay?」
“Thank you so much. See you soon.”
「People are in a hurry. Okay. Then, I’ll text you.”
“Yes, please go in.”
Detective Kim, who came out of the building before he knew it, hung up the phone and looked up at the sky.
‘If you collect cards with information, I’m good at collecting cards with public power.’
Detective Kim whistled and headed for the rooftop garden where Yoonhee and Jinhyo were.
◈◈◈
After a walk in the garden,
Me and my mother were back at the outdoor table.
When we arrived at the outdoor table, the manager was welcoming us.
The manager set drinks and desserts on the table when we arrived. Then, they will clean up, so they just leave it alone, leaving the room coolly.
At that time when I was about to have a cozy snack time with my mother, Detective Kim, who had been away for a while, came back.
So the situation fits perfectly.
Then he said that he had a close discussion with his mother regarding security.
After hearing that, my mother told me to eat first, and then she moved with Detective Kim.
Being left alone like that,
No, I was left with Detective Yu and I was enjoying dessert alone at the table.
Scramble.
Well…
Also…
It’s just fruit.
No matter how high-end the restaurant’s dessert is, fruit is still fruit.
It just tastes like fresh fruit.
Well, without cooking, it’s just fruit.

Still, the milk tea that came with it was really delicious.
I’m still not good at black tea, but it was really fortunate that milk tea came out.
Around the time I finished eating the milk tea, my mother and Detective Kim returned.
However, the atmosphere was strange.
She was definitely smiling, but her smile seemed awkward and heavy for some reason.
It didn’t stand out too much, but I could definitely see it.
What’s going on?
Did you say something bad?
When I was worried about that, my mother came to me before I knew it.
“Son~ Mom is here~”
“Oh, how are you?”
“Yeah~ We talked a lot.”
With the answer, my mother hugged me.
Holding her mother in her arms, I lifted her head and looked at her mother.
After all, it wasn’t because of my mood.
Looking closer, I could see the mother’s face showing some unknown anxiety.
Feeling strange, I turned my head and looked at Detective Kim.
Detective Kim, who made eye contact with me, looked away from me with a slightly awkward smile, as if he had been stabbed.
Judging by the atmosphere between my mother and Detective Kim,
It was clear that something was wrong.
In the end, I got worried and asked my mother directly.
“Mom, did something happen?”
“Huh? Um~ no~ nothing…
… Whoa, yes. That’s right. I had a little problem.”
At first, my mother tried to pass it off, she just didn’t show her feelings. But for some reason, she changed her mind and she spoke frankly.
“This is something my son needs to know too, so I’ll tell him.”
“Yes. What is it?”
My mother had a very serious face.
Seeing her face, which I have never seen before, I looked at her mother with a little nervousness.
“Son. Didn’t your son say he really hated being confined in a shelter?”
“Yes.”
“By the way, son, I’m really sorry….”
“Yes.”
My mother took a moment to breathe, then she opened her mouth with difficulty.
“I don’t think I will be able to go out like today for a while.”
“… Yes? Are you going out?”
I didn’t quite understand, so I answered as if asking her mother.
Then my mother explained in a voice full of pity.
“It seems that my son’s discharge had a bigger social impact than I thought. So the instructions came down to stay at home until it calms down a bit outside.”
“Ah~”
Only then did I understand her mother’s words about not being able to go out, so I nodded her head.
It was like that. What else do i say
It was an understandable action in the first place.
My mother was looking at me in surprise at my reaction.
“… Is your son okay?”
“Yes? What?”
At the words of my mother who suddenly asked if I was okay,
I looked at her mother with a really puzzled expression.
Then my mother spoke in a worried voice.
“I should be unable to leave my house for a while. Are you really okay?”
I answered her mother’s question with a smile.
“Ah, that much is no problem.
How many years have I been living like that at the shelter?”
“…… Son.”
Upon hearing my answer, my mother looked at me with sad eyes.
With eyes that wouldn’t be strange if tears flowed right away.
To appease her sad-looking mother, I put my hand on her mother’s cheek like a caress.
“Of course, I hate it when I am told to live again like the life at the shelter. But now it is different.”
“… ….”
“Because you are with your mother right now, right?”
It was sincere.
It’s only been a day since I came out of the shelter, but now I’m happy every moment.
Just being outside the shelter made me happy enough.
And above all,
I was very happy to be with my mother.
Was my sincerity conveyed well?
My mother put on her face of being very moved and hugged me tightly.
Then he stroked my hair and said.
“Thank you so much for saying that. Mom is very happy to live with her son too.”
“Yes, I am happy too.”
“So it might be a bit frustrating, but… a little bit… wait patiently I wonder if mom will solve it well. Understand?”
“Yes, I will be patient.
… Oh, I’ll be patient, so can you do me one favor?”
“Of course! It’s my son’s request.”
My mother answered in a very bright voice and pulled me out of her arms.
Then she looked at me with very bright eyes.
His eyes were full of anticipation.
I asked my mother carefully.
“Couldn’t you buy me a computer a little sooner?
If you have a computer, I think you can endure it.”
My mother, who heard my request,
She looked at me with a very empty expression.
Oh.
Was it an unreasonable request?

Computers are a big deal….
