As expected Lee Shin-hyeok. (3)
* * *
Team leader Jang was in the chief’s office.
the chief asked.
“What about the kids?”
I was talking about Sujeong Lee and Jongmin Park.
“I took Cha Jin-ho to the site inspection.”
The chief closed his eyes and smiled.
“Fast, very good.”
Confession after arrest, and on-site inspection the next day.
It was literally a lightning-like process, as if the light flashed in an instant by rubbing the lightning with the flint.
“Let’s all get together next week and have a dinner.”
Manager Zhang said with a smile.
“Please buy the expensive one.”
“yes. can’t you buy something look at work.”
Team leader Jang lowered his head and left, and the chief got up from his seat and started cleaning the orchid.
“I mean, he’s a special guy.”
His mind was filled with thoughts of Shin Hyuk, who is now in Yeosu.
At that time, I suddenly remembered the question Shin Hyuk shared in the car.
‘How many months pregnant are you?’
The chief’s hand, which was cleaning the orchid, suddenly stopped.
Did I ever tell you I was pregnant?
The chief thought quietly.
I don’t think I ever said I was pregnant before.
is not it?
did you
The chief cleared his mind and shook his head.
Since he said that first, the question must have come out.
“Alcoholic dementia…. You need to stop drinking.”
Lately, I’ve been in a good mood, so I think it’s because I’ve been drinking too much.
that time.
Shin Hyuk was entering Hong Jung Hoon’s house.
The living room was tidy.
While Choi Dong-chul was casting his gaze here and there, Shin-hyeok asked.
“How far do you think the investigation went?”
Shin-hyeok asked Hong Jeong-hoon to find out how interested his wife was.
Hong Jeong-hoon sighed.
“I’m going to wait and see, but it doesn’t seem to be progressing.”
“Did you hear anything from the police?”
“I tried calling, but they said that this happens a lot, so let’s wait until evening.”
“Have you contacted your friends or acquaintances?”
“Yeah. No one made an appointment or contacted me that day.”
Shin Hyuk nodded slightly.
There is no peculiarity in the fine expression, the voice flowing from the glottis, or the statement.
A similar pattern emerges from guardians.
Until now, of course.
Shin Hyuk opened his mouth while looking at the piggy bank near the TV.
“What is that piggy bank for? Are you just putting in change whenever you have it?”
Hong Jung-hoon, who was brushing his hair at the sudden question, looked at Shin-hyeok.
Still, he gave the answer.
“I bought it when Sua was pregnant. that you are blessed He asked me to buy clothes for my baby by putting in change whenever I can.”
Choi Soo-ah gave the piggy bank a symbolism.
it is a blessing.
Second, Choi Soo-ah imagined a future with her child.
Every time I put in change, I must have thought of my future child.
She subconsciously built a system to do that.
“When did you find out you were pregnant?”
“I found out at 4 weeks pregnant.”
Shin Hyuk held up the piggy bank and shook it.
I heard the sound of a coin being struck and weighed it.
I would have saved about 8 months, but it wasn’t heavy.
About 500g.
Shin Hyuk said.
“Can I check it out?”
Hong Je-hun blinked.
“Why is the piggy bank…”
“It might be helpful.”
This is not an unsolved case.
There is no information.
Therefore, if it is related, it is necessary to profile all the things that can dwell in the mind without missing every little thing.
Hong Jeong-hoon made a face that he didn’t understand at all, but he soon lifted the piggy bank and opened the lid underneath.
And they took all the money out of it.
There weren’t many coins, and there were a lot of 1,000 won bills.
The ten-thousand-won bill was nowhere to be seen.
Is it over 80,000 won?
I put it in my piggy bank for about 8 months.
10,000 won per month.
“It looks like you and your wife are using cards in different names.”
“Yes?”
“Like a credit or debit card.”
Hong Jeong-hoon made a surprised expression.
“Yeah. How do you…”
The fact that there is less change in the piggy bank means that you spend a lot of your life using credit cards.
Just like normal adults.
Also, if the missing Choi Soo-ah swiped with Hong Jung-hoon’s card instead of his own name, a payment text message would be sent.
However, the fact that Hong Jeong-hoon only asks the police means that he uses a separate card.
Most couples in a typical family use the husband’s card or the wife’s card unified.
Although there are times when each person writes like an individual, it was rare if we looked at the average.
This is not important.
Although they are a couple.
– There may be a personal distance for privacy.
Shin Hyuk replied briefly.
“I am a little sorry. If I had used Hong Jeong-hoon’s card, I could have found out his wife’s location.”
Naturally, her cell phone was turned off now, so it was impossible to track her location.
“ha···.”
As if blaming himself, Hong Jeong-hoon covered his face and washed his face dry.
– Block the eyes to minimize stress.
It is an unconscious reaction.
“How is your wife’s family relationship?”
“I grew up with my mother-in-law. I have a younger brother.”
“Are you divorced? Or is it bereavement?”
“You are divorced.”
Hong Jeong-hoon asked as he closed his eyes as if he was looking for frustration.
“It was kind and friendly. It has nothing to do with grudges or money or anything like that. But will this help?”
“Hong Jeong-hoon.”
“Yeah.”
Shin Hyuk looked at him and said firmly.
Shin Hyuk’s expression even looked cold.
“It will help.”
Shin Hyuk asked a few more questions.
My husband added a little more money and got a loan from the bank to buy an apartment.
The couple’s monthly income was 500 won, but after Choi Su-ah stopped working two years ago, the income was cut in half.
One vehicle.
Most of them were used for her husband’s commute, he said.
Shin Hyuk also checked the couple’s room.
On the small dressing table, I saw a picture of Choi Soo-ah smiling.
“Did Choi Soo-ah print it out and put it in a frame?”
“Yeah.”
Shin Hyuk opened the drawer of the dressing table.
Several accessories were seen.
Shin Hyuk glanced at it.
“Are there any missing items?”
Hong Jung-hoon narrowed his eyes and fixed his gaze.
“I don’t think there is… Yes. It doesn’t seem to exist.”
Shin Hyuk also confirmed that there was a baby room.
I bought a small bed first, but couldn’t find anything else.
“Who chose the bed?”
“Sua chose it.”
“I thought you said you would buy it first?”
“Yeah.”
The bed also contains Choi Soo-ah’s future-oriented meaning.
“Aren’t there toys hanging from the ceiling or something like that?”
“I didn’t know if I would change my mind once the baby was born, so I said I’d buy it next time.”
After opening the refrigerator, Shin Hyuk headed for the front door.
There weren’t many side dishes.
“Can I see the CCTV in the management room?”
“Yeah. You can see it.”
“All right. I will contact you.”
“Profiler.”
Hong Jeong-hoon lowered his head and spoke again.
“Our Sua, please find us. Please.”
“I will do my best. As I said, what Hong Jeong-hoon needs to do now is to find his wife’s bankbook and go to the bank.”
It was because I was able to know the usage history by organizing the bankbook.
After leaving Hong Jeong-hoon’s house, Choi Dong-chul, who had just watched without saying a word, asked.
“Did you find out anything?”
I didn’t quite understand why Shin Hyuk asked such questions, but it was Choi Dong-chul who watched, thinking that it was because he was Shin-hyeok.
“You seem to focus a lot on what you see.”
“Who? Choi Soo-ah?”
“Yeah. The same goes for the piggy bank, the photo of you smiling alone on the dressing table, and the bed.”
“What are you talking about? Please speak easily.”
“It’s not serious, but I think I have narcissism.”
“Narcissism?”
Choi Dong-cheol raised his eyebrows.
It seemed like it would come to mind.
Shin Hyuk spoke carefully.
“Also known as narcissism.”
“Oh, so you just put your picture on the dressing table?”
“Yeah. People with such an inclination are prone to get carried away even in their own thoughts. Showing is important.”
This is one piece of the puzzle.
* * *
Choi Dong-cheol was staring at the CCTV with Shin Hyuk.
It was a scene of Choi Soo-ah leaving the house and using the elevator.
Choi Dong-cheol spoke up.
“How many times do you touch your hair?”
Being pregnant, she ran her hands through her hair over and over again.
Shin Hyuk fixed his gaze on the cloth bag that was draped over her shoulder.
It was pressed so tight that it contained nothing.
That’s how I got out of the elevator, and the last time I saw him leave the complex, he disappeared as if evaporating.
I left the house at 13:00.
Contact was lost around 14:00.
Choi Dong-cheol came out and put his hand on his waist.
“Where should I start looking for this?”
A situation where you have to look at the CCTV from the front of the apartment complex.
But those basic things the cops would have already done.
There is a blind spot, so I don’t know where it went.
This isn’t common, but it’s not uncommon.
There are blind spots everywhere.
In an alley or in a large sidewalk with a boulevard.
“I’ll turn, really.”
Choi Dong-cheol, who had been muttering while looking in all directions as if looking for Choi Soo-ah, suddenly looked at Shin-hyeok.
I was constantly fiddling with my phone.
“what are you doing?”
“I found it.”
Dongchul Choi raised his eyebrows as if he was saying something.
“There are five in total. Senior, take this.”
Shin Hyuk passed the cell phone to Choi Dong Chul.
[We share children’s books for free.]
[We share baby toy blocks!]
[Share the dial phone!]
[We share dolls!]
[I will share mobile toys]
“what’s this?”
These were things I found on social media and apps.
area was indicated.
People were selected at the closest distance from this apartment.
“share?”
“Yeah. The piggy bank was completed with money, but the baby’s room was incomplete because there was only one bed.”
“Did you go to a place where you can fill a baby’s room for free?”
Shin Hyuk nodded slowly.
Choi Soo-ah is a person who likes to visualize the future that has yet to come.
There was no appointment with friends or acquaintances, and the fact that he did not inform his progress may not have wanted to inform the surroundings of the perception that he was second-hand.
But what is clear.
It is said that people are driven by desire, even without informing anyone.
You must follow your desires.
what she always wanted.
“Yeah. It seems highly likely. It’s like carrying a bag to put things in and going out.”
Shinhyeok looked at the contents of the search once again.
[Share the sand box for free.]
18-24 months Excluded for play.
[We share baby toy blocks!]
Excluded as playthings for 3-6 months.
Shin Hyuk put his cell phone down with his finger.
[Share the dial phone!]
6-12 months Excluded for play.
Shin Hyuk searched again.
[We share dolls!]
Excluding this for 18-24 months toys.
[I will share mobile toys]
mobile toy.
A suitable toy that can be used as a toy for babies 3 months from birth.
It was a toy that hung from the ceiling for the baby to see.
The peculiar thing was that, unlike other sharing, the detailed address was written.
It was the home address.
“If Choi Soo-ah went there to receive donations, I think this place would be more powerful.”
Shin Hyuk touched it to see the contents in detail.
By the way.
“what?”
Choi Dong-cheol raised his eyebrows.
Because the page didn’t open.
Shin Hyuk went back and searched.
But nothing came out.
The other party had now deleted it.
“Let’s go. Seniors.”
However, Shin Hyuk memorized the address .
