As expected Lee Shin-hyeok. (2)
Seeing the chief’s smile, Shinhyeok politely bowed his head.
“hello. good morning.”
“get on. go with me.”
“ah···. Yes. thank you.”
Shin Hyuk climbed into the passenger seat.
On the way home from work, I had to go back to the homicide.
The chief said without departing.
“Where is your house?”
“Yeah?”
“Weren’t you on your way home from work?”
Shin Hyuk looked at the chief.
“Yeah?”
The chief smiled lightly.
“What are you so surprised about? Where is your house?”
* * *
Shin Hyuk, sitting in the passenger seat, blinked.
I was really going home.
That too, in a car driven by the chief himself.
burden.
A lot of it too.
“The world is very upset because of you.”
Airwaves as well as YouTubers dealt with the incident, and the article was continuously updated.
Some people asked what the identity of the powerful team 1 was, and a joke that they were all special agents spread.
Even though he is not a celebrity, there were overflowing people who wanted to see Shin Hyuk.
I was promoted as if I was running down a highway, and I deserved to receive a certificate of merit.
“I’m embarrassed.”
Shin Hyuk refrained from exposure as much as possible.
But, if I had access to the media, I intended to make the most of it.
But why did you find yourself?
it’s on the way home
There is only the chief and the two of us.
Considering the situation itself, it could be a personal thing.
Eventually, the chief stopped the car on the side of the road and looked at the apartment.
“Are you here?”
“Yeah.”
“Yeah… it’s nice, but I’m buying it.”
It was an apartment that Shin-hyeok had carefully selected and bought with no small amount of money.
The chief turned his head to Shin Hyuk.
“Shin Hyuk.”
“Yeah. Chief.”
The chief laughed awkwardly and opened his mouth again.
“I have something to ask of you personally, would you like to go to Yeosu and get some fresh air? I’ll give you 5 days of reward vacation. Go and eat something delicious.”
As soon as Shin Hyuk heard it, he could feel that it was an incident.
Come to think of it, tomorrow is Sunday.
It felt like the concept of time disappeared as I focused only on the incident.
Shin Hyuk asked politely.
“What kind of case?”
The chief laughed.
“Who is not a profiler? Chuck is Chuck. I have a son who is my ball friend, but his wife has disappeared.”
Shin Hyuk nodded slowly.
If the man disappears, it is classified as a simple disappearance case, and it takes a long time for the case to go to the police station.
Conversely, when a child or woman disappears, the investigation proceeds quickly.
Literally, that’s all.
“When did you disappear?”
“Yesterday, I lost contact from around 14:00. Of course he didn’t come home.”
For a moment, the chief thought that he hadn’t seen something wrong, so he changed his gaze and looked back at Shin Hyuk.
The pupils of Shin Hyuk staring straight ahead felt like black holes.
As if he would suck his words and everything in sight.
But was it an illusion?
Those eyes were gone.
Shin Hyuk asked.
“How many months pregnant are you?”
The chief raised his eyebrows slightly as if thinking.
“Did you say it was nine months? that’s right. Nine months.”
Before long, the person who was about to give birth disappeared.
No, nothing is certain yet.
I still don’t know if it’s a runaway or not.
I had to see them with my eyes and hear them with my ears.
“When shall we depart?”
The chief smiled at the cool answer and held Shin Hyuk’s shoulder.
“For now, get a good night’s sleep and let’s go. I’ll take care of the lodging.”
If anyone saw the chief’s actions, they might say that he was trying to mobilize the police for personal matters.
Shin Hyuk thought differently.
If there is even the slightest possibility of a crime, it is right to move.
“All right.”
“Call me when you leave.”
“Yes.”
Shin Hyuk asked the chief a few more questions and greeted him before getting out of the car.
Shin Hyuk watched as the chief’s car disappeared from sight.
I wanted to take the chief’s car and go to Yeosu right away, but the KTX is faster.
Shin Hyuk stood and searched for a train heading to Yeosu.
The earliest time is one hour later.
Shin Hyuk turned around and walked away.
I was thinking of going out after washing and changing clothes.
Arriving at the front door, Shin-hyeok dialed the password and opened the door.
“Oh, my son.”
As soon as I entered the front door, my mother came to greet Shin Hyuk.
For some reason, Mom was wearing mountaineering clothes.
She touched Shin Hyuk’s face with both hands.
“You make people work without sleeping? rice is? Should I eat? Wash it quickly and mom will serve it right away.”
“I came to eat.”
“what did you eat?”
Shin Hyuk smiled.
“Hot and hearty soup.”
It was a lie.
Mom’s outfit looked like she was going to leave soon.
If he said he hadn’t eaten, he would cancel the appointment or whatever and prepare the meal.
Mom was still there.
“Mom, a climbing shop?”
my mother smiled
“I was going to, but no.”
Mom immediately called someone on her cell phone.
No, Shinhyeok held his mother’s hand and stopped it.
It was because I felt like I was going to cancel the appointment.
“no! no! Bye. Come on.”
“I want to be with my son.”
Shin Hyuk shook his head quickly.
“Come on. Let me rest.”
“Are you uncomfortable with your mother?”
“It’s inconvenient, but I want to sleep soundly and quietly.”
“Um…, yes, okay.”
“But who are you going with?”
For a moment, the mother’s face seemed to heat up slightly.
“The director told me to keep going.”
Shin Hyuk’s face darkened for a moment.
You said you were so close already?
Mom said.
“The hospital family also brought them to the store the other day. I don’t think it’s polite to keep refusing.”
“ah···. What time are you supposed to meet?”
“I thought you were coming to pick me up in front of my house…”
Then my mother’s cell phone uploaded.
Mom smiled softly and looked at her phone.
“You can’t be a nobleman.”
Shin Hyuk took her mother to the front door as if pushing her back.
“Go and see pretty things, and eat a lot of delicious things.”
“Okay, mom will be back soon. Let’s eat something delicious later.”
Shin Hyuk shook his head.
“I need to get some sleep and go back in.”
“No man…”
Shinhyeok cut off his mother’s words with a grin.
“Without me, things won’t work.”
Of course, this was also a lie.
Shinhyeok opened the door and urged his mother.
“Bye.”
“Okay, mom, are you coming?”
Shin Hyuk even watched his mother get on the elevator before returning home.
Then, he smiled softly.
A mother is a woman before she is a mother.
you had to be happy
Shin-hyeok checked his younger brother’s door and went to the bathroom to wash his clothes.
Shaaa.
The pouring water soaked Shin Hyuk’s body.
My body got warm.
It wasn’t because the water was warm, but the smell of the house and the traces of my mother and sister warmed my heart.
Every single thing the family touched was insignificant.
Even the toothbrushes of my mother and younger brother that I can see now.
After finishing the shower, Shin Hyuk brushed his hair and came out.
By the way.
In the living room, my sister, wearing sleeping pants, was yawning and stretching.
After that, food was spread all over the table.
Hyejin said while embracing again.
“Haam~ Oppa, when did you come? Didn’t you eat? Let’s eat.”
It was Hyejin who did not eat breakfast well.
Shin Hyuk smiled and closed his eyes.
I could feel my brother’s heart.
There was time to eat.
“Okay, let’s eat.”
Shin Hyuk sat down at the table facing Hye Jin.
“Brother, try this steamed egg. It’s my special move.”
Shin-hyeok took a spoonful and took a bite of steamed egg.
“Oh hot!”
Although it was hot.
Shin Hyuk raised his thumb.
“It’s great.”
* * *
10 am.
Shin Hyuk was waiting for the KTX at the station.
Just then, the phone rang.
[Senior Choi Dong-cheol]
“Your senior.”
– where are you?
Didn’t the chief tell you?
“I am waiting for the train to Yeosu because the chief asked me to do something.”
– That’s not it… oh there it is
The phone hung up abruptly, and a voice came from behind.
“here!”
Looking back, senior Choi Dong-chul was walking with a grin.
“ah···.”
When Shin Hyuk finished assessing the situation, Choi Dong-cheol approached him.
I told the chief that I was leaving for the station, but it seemed like senior Choi Dong-cheol was attached.
“Let’s go somewhere nice together.”
Choi Dong-cheol really looked like a person going out to play.
At the same time, the KTX arrived.
“Here you come. Let’s go, let’s go.”
Choi Dong-chul put his arm around Shin-hyeok’s shoulder.
“Because the stone octopus in Yeosu is so famous?”
Dongchul Choi took out a card from his pocket.
“Do you know what this is? It’s the chief’s card. They’re going to eat ten of us. I also eat soy sauce crab. Eat eels too…”
Shin Hyuk got on the KTX while listening to Choi Dong-chul talking about food.
However, Choi Dong-chul, who seemed excited, fell asleep as soon as he sat down.
But it seemed that he was sleeping with his eyes open.
It was scary.
Shin Hyuk looked at the scenery outside the window and suddenly started touching his cell phone.
It was to send a message to Lee Soo-jung.
I sent the image of Seo Kang-woo sitting in a coffee shop first.
[Chief Jang arrested me before, but I came to see him after a week of being released from prison. If you notice it a few more times around the police station, you might want to keep an eye on it. My name is Seo Kang-woo.]
It means being aware of your surroundings.
The senior’s reply came right away.
[You’re a brave kid. I see. Bye. Eat something delicious with grated seaweed.]
Shin Hyuk, who exchanged messages with her several times,
“Let the bastard run after you.”
Surprised, he turned his head to Choi Dong-cheol.
Senior Choi Dong-chul was talking in his sleep with his eyes open.
Shin Hyuk bitterly closed his eyes.
I fell asleep in an instant.
How long has it been since that happened?
Three hours seemed to have passed.
“Senior has arrived.”
At Shin Hyuk’s voice, Choi Dong-cheol scratched his cheek and answered in a dreamy state.
“What is the menu?”
“I have arrived in Yeosu. Seniors.”
“Oh, already? You came quickly. Let’s get off.”
Shin Hyuk and Choi Dong-cheol exited the station.
Choi Dong-chul took a deep breath.
“Hey, the sea smells good. Where did you say it was?”
“I think it will take about 20 minutes by taxi.”
“There is a taxi over there. let’s go.”
The two immediately got into a taxi and Shin Hyuk gave me the address.
After the car started, Choi Dong-chul looked at the scenery outside and said.
“Hey, the scenery is nice. Is your husband a native here?”
He was referring to the wife’s husband who had disappeared.
“no. Originally from Seoul, he moved to Yeosu with his family 13 years ago. I think high school came out of here too.”
Choi Dong-cheol nodded.
“If I lived 13 years, I would have been able to do it.”
Conversely, if it’s a simple runaway, it’s really fortunate.
Eventually, the two arrived at the apartment.
I contacted my husband in advance to make sure he was at home.
Shin Hyuk rang the doorbell.
Ding Dong-
rattle.
The door opened and he appeared to be in his early thirties.
He had thick eyebrows and had a fairly decent appearance.
Before even saying hello, he grabbed Shinhyuk’s hand like a rope.
“ah! Shinhyeok Lee Profiler, thank you for coming all the way here! Thank you so much.”
Shin Hyuk’s gaze passed over his shoulder and headed toward the living room.
But I quickly fixed my gaze on him.
“hello. nice to see you. Mr. Hong Jeong-hoon .”
