As expected Lee Shin-hyeok. (4)
“Do you know where it is and go find it?”
Shin Hyuk made an awkward smile.
“I memorized the address.”
“You memorized it?”
Choi Dong-cheol smiled absurdly.
“As expected, my brother. It’s like me, so I have good memorization skills. Let’s go.”
The two immediately took a taxi and traveled for about 20 minutes.
The place we arrived at was a detached house.
The total area including the yard seemed to be about 90 pyeong, and the house was estimated to be about 33 pyeong.
There were about 50 large and small detached houses in the surrounding area.
There were also sparse studio apartments.
There was no CCTV nearby.
There is only one entrance at the entrance to this village-like place.
Shinhyeok looked at the yard beyond the fence.
It was Snoop.
A psychological technique to gain insight into the essence by observing the other side of things.
To put it simply, it was to interpret a person’s traces.
If you look at an object, you can see traces, and you can see what kind of person that person is.
You can guess the other person’s feelings, disposition, personality, strengths and weaknesses, past and future.
At Choi Soo-ah’s house, Shin-hyeok looked at the piggy bank, crib, and refrigerator were snooping.
Of course, Shin Hyuk came up with probability and statistics by combining various complex things, including fine facial expressions.
There was grass in the yard, but it didn’t seem to be properly maintained.
A few small trees were also planted.
I also saw a small tricycle with a 3 or 4-year-old who was illegal.
The part that was originally red was faded because it was old.
“what? Is it broken?”
Choi Dong-cheol pressed the doorbell several times, but there was no response.
Finally knocked on the door.
thud. thud. thud.
“anyone there?”
thud. thud.
“anyone there? Mr. A, isn’t there?”
At that time, a woman’s voice was heard along with the sound of the front door opening.
“who are you?”
Dongchul Choi replied.
“It is the police. I have something to ask you.”
“Are you the police?”
“Yeah. Could you please open the door for a moment?”
“Wait.”
Shin Hyuk focused on hearing.
I wear slippers, but I can’t hear them dragging on the floor.
Are you nervous, or is it your normal gait?
Most of all animals unconsciously try to hide their presence as much as possible when there is tension.
rattle.
Eventually, the door opened and a woman in her late thirties appeared.
It was a dog statue.
Her hair is frizzy, and her hair is sticking out.
A shape that looks like it hastily brushed with fingers.
As soon as she saw Choi Dong-cheol, she flinched and pulled her upper body back.
It looked like he was really a cop.
Choi Dong-chul showed a friendly smile and held out his ID.
“Are you the one who shared baby toys?”
“Yeah···. But why?”
– Eyebrows are raised.
– The forehead is tense and wrinkles are created.
It is a fine expression that appears when you feel anxious, worried, or worried.
There are people who make this kind of expression even if there is nothing wrong.
Just because the police came.
Like when you walk down the street and feel strange feelings when a police car passes by.
Therefore, judgment is not allowed.
Choi Dong-chul tapped Shin-hyeok’s side so she couldn’t be seen.
He was thinking of stepping out and watching.
It was Shin Hyuk’s turn to act like a lie detector.
Shin Hyuk said.
“Have you finished sharing?”
“Yeah.”
She answered and glanced at Shin Hyuk’s face.
It was a very handsome face.
A face that was not familiar for some reason, I felt like I had seen it somewhere.
Shin Hyuk looked at the tricycle in the yard and opened his mouth.
“The child is now a lot bigger, so you shared it.”
The important point here is her psychological state.
If there is a child who uses a tricycle, why bother sharing mobile toys years later?
There will be several reasons.
To look at toys and recall memories when your child was young.
But now it’s no longer necessary.
Or else…
Suddenly, an unexpected answer came out of her mouth.
“no. I went to heaven last year.”
“oh my···.”
Choi Dong-chul let out a small breath as if feeling sorry for him.
But Shin Hyuk was different.
“Don’t you share tricycles?”
It was a heartless, emotionless question.
Objects have different meanings and different emotions.
“I’m trying to, but I’m not getting it.”
– Eyes open to the left for a moment.
– He swallows saliva and raises his eyebrows.
superficial self-assertion.
That is, it is most likely a lie.
And according to common sense, no one wants to take an old tricycle.
There was no mention of tricycles on social media either.
Then she opened her mouth again.
“Did something go wrong with what I shared?”
Shin Hyuk shook his head.
“no. The person I shared with the teacher is missing.”
“Yeah?”
She opened her eyes wide in surprise.
For a moment, Shin Hyuk wanted to laugh openly.
The eyes were surprised, but the cheekbones and jaw were not.
judgment has been made
Like an actor no one would use, she was like that now.
Shin Hyuk said.
“Is your husband inside?”
“no. I went to see the ball. Oh, what do you do? You called too much.”
I definitely met Choi Soo-ah.
Shin Hyuk gave her a sense of stability.
“What time did he ‘go away’ yesterday?”
He threw the expression that he went there on purpose.
“About two o’clock. I will.”
Around 14:00, Choi Soo-ah’s contact was cut off.
The time is roughly right.
Shin Hyuk looked at Choi Dong Chul.
Choi Dong-cheol, who felt that the gaze was unusual, made a bitter smile.
The missing golden time is only a few hours.
But the day has passed.
If Sooah Choi is here…
Dongchul Choi said.
“Excuse me, if it’s a lie…”
It was then.
Shin Hyuk and Choi Dong Chul’s heads turned to the side.
drooling. drooling.
A man in his mid-thirties was dragging a black suitcase.
He found Shin Hyuk and Choi Dong Chul and approached him.
“who are you?”
Choi Dong-cheol looked at his carrier and brushed his head in a bad feeling.
“It is the police. Have you ever been on a trip?”
The husband looked at his wife and the two of them alternately.
“Yes? no. I need some… But why did the police come?”
Choi Dong-chul’s question did not enter his mind for a moment.
If this husband repeatedly went out and came in with his carrier…
Choi Dong-cheol asked.
“Sir, can I check your suitcase?”
“Yes?”
“It will take a while.”
“I don’t know what happened, but yes.”
Husband zipped open the zipper.
There was nothing there.
Seeing that sight, Shin Hyuk felt something different.
it’s new
As if you just bought it.
So did the smell.
“Are you going on a trip?”
“Ah yes.”
Shin Hyuk said to Choi Dong-cheol.
“Seniors.”
Choi Dong-cheol nodded and said to the two.
“Can I check the house? We ask for your cooperation.”
My husband frowned.
“If it’s the police, is it okay to check it so recklessly? Do people not have privacy?”
If it had been the other cops, they might have tried a little more persuasion, said a few words and then backed off, but Choi Dong-cheol was different.
“Considering the circumstances of the last meeting of the missing Choi Soo-ah and the necessity or gravity of the emergency arrest, an emergency arrest is possible without a warrant.”
My husband spat out the words as if it was absurd.
“Are you suspicious of us now?”
Choi Dong-cheol shook his head.
“I am asking for your cooperation. I’ll just check it out soon.”
Seeing Choi Dong-chul’s determined gaze, he sighed.
“Ha, I want. Not even communism. Okay. But I just can’t get past this. I will file a complaint in the newspaper.”
Choi Dong-cheol nodded happily.
“of course. It’s a people’s right. Now, shall we go in?”
Choi Dong-cheol smiled and reached out his hand into the yard, as if telling him to come in quickly.
My husband strode into the yard.
Then he hugged his wife’s shoulders and walked together.
Shin-hyeok was lost in thought for a moment as he followed Choi Dong-chul and the couple.
An incident from the past came to mind.
After luring them under the guise of sharing, they made them come to the house and kidnapped them as if they were snatching them.
The guy who made the other person come to his feet opened the front door and smiled kindly.
‘welcome.’
But the action was different.
He grabbed her by the wrist and immediately closed the front door.
bang!
A case in which a woman was sucked into a criminal’s house like a black hole.
So Shin Hyuk and Choi Dong-cheol entered the front door.
The first thing I saw was a family photo.
As soon as a 2-year-old child enters, it is positioned in plain sight.
Placing it so that it can be seen at the entrance shows the desire to show off the child to others.
Then the husband raised his voice in displeasure.
“Look. what is there.”
“thank you.”
It was a bit messier than a normal home.
Each tissue was strewn on the floor, and there was a little dishwashing in the kitchen.
Even though the child had a different fate a year ago, posters with numbers and letters are openly posted.
The windows are curtained.
It looks like she didn’t clean, but she looked like she didn’t wash for a day.
But all visits were closed.
It’s been like that since I came in, but enough of the gap came.
For Shin Hyuk, who plays Snoop.
Then, picking up each tissue, she said to her husband.
“Honey, get that out of the shoe closet, get this out.”
“yes. Wait a minute.”
When her husband returned to the shoe closet, Choi Dong-chul asked her.
“Thank you for your cooperation. Can I see your room? It only takes a moment.”
“Yeah. Please. Where can I show you? look at this.”
Her movements caught the attention of Shin Hyuk and Choi Dong Chul.
But Shin Hyuk was looking elsewhere.
The figure of her husband was reflected in the black electronic clock hanging on the wall.
It was like lifting a hammer.
It wasn’t just Shin Hyuk who confirmed it.
Choi Dong-chul twisted his lips terribly as if laughing.
“Baby, you should have come out like this a long time ago. You waited.”
with a bang!
As the hammer cut through the air, the husband floated into the air.
bang!
He was slammed to the floor by Choi Dong-cheol’s hand and he jumped! He groaned and grabbed his chest.
I couldn’t breathe.
Choi Dong-chul looked at her husband as if he were about to die.
“Hey, where is Choi Soo-ah? Here it is?”
It was unusual to come in with a carrier.
Shin Hyuk approached her as she stood in the closed door.
“Choi Soo-ah, are you alive?”
The victim, who was kidnapped as a bait for sharing in the past, died.
“That…, that’s…”
Shin Hyuk’s dark eyes made her pupils tremble.
Even the breath flowing out of it trembled thinly.
And her gaze moved for a moment.
F*ck!
“Kyaaak!”
As she tried to move reflexively, she got caught in Shin Hyuk’s leg and screamed.
Shin-hyeok turned and opened the door to the next room that she was blocking.
Her gaze moved to this side of the room.
Moment.
A sigh of relief escaped Shin Hyuk’s mouth.
With her hands and feet bound and her mouth covered with tape, she was alive.
The belly is full and the tear marks are clear.
Fortunately, there was no blood on the floor.
Seeing her flinch in the corner, Shin Hyuk approached and bent one knee.
“It’s fine now. It is the police.”
It’s not too late.
If it was late, one died and the other survived.
But both lived.
* * *
that time.
She was walking along the road with her white neckline exposed in a ponytail.
She was quite beautiful, and even her hair was attractive.
It was none other than Lee Soo-jeong, wearing a white tee and jeans.
Sujeong Lee muttered as she recalled Shin Hyuk’s words.
‘I’ll try to figure it out.’
“You brave pervert.”
Seo Kang-woo was quietly following behind him .
