My child has a disability. (4)
Servant Syndrome.
It refers to a syndrome in which a person has a mental disorder but has outstanding abilities in one area, such as memory, mental arithmetic, puzzle painting, or music.
Lim Jae-hoon seemed to have developed a connection between crime and reasoning.
Shin Hyuk approached and opened his mouth again.
“But what about this? I think I know a little more about that system than you, Jaehoon. That is why I am here.”
“I have a disability! Jaehoon has a handicap!”
I lowered myself from ‘me’ to ‘me’.
It means that you are aware of me more than yourself.
It’s like losing a battle for rank.
“let’s go. to home.”
Shin-hyeok approached Lim Jae-hoon and grabbed his wrist.
Lim Jae-hun fixed both legs on the floor as if holding on.
However, Shin Hyuk’s hand did not let go like a trap, and he was forcibly pulled.
“Sah, save me! Jaehoon doesn’t want to die! Help me!”
Shin Hyuk didn’t care and dragged him by force.
The way criminals behave is all the same.
They differ only in appearance.
Lim Jae-hoon keeps repeating that he has a disability, but Shin-hyuk only heard it as an excuse to say after the criminals were caught.
Lim Jae-hoon looks different from others, but he is surprisingly smart in one way.
“Jaehoon?”
The residents of the neighborhood who came out opened their eyes wide at the noise.
He looked at Jaehoon, who was being held in Shinhyuk’s hand, with startled eyes, then returned his gaze to Shinhyuk.
Dragging Jae-hoon, who has a mental illness at dawn, somehow reminded me of a crime.
“What are you doing? who are you?”
Shin Hyuk took out his ID card from his chest and held it.
“It is the police. We are investigating the case of Im Si-ah. I’m on my way to Kim Jae-hoon’s house now.”
After blinking his eyes a few times, he opened his mouth awkwardly.
“ah. Yes.”
Shinhyeok pulled Lim Jaehoon’s arm and moved on again.
“Let go! Let go! Gangbuk-gu…”
Lim Jae-hoon started to recite his home address, and Shin-hyeok cut him off.
“I’m going to the house you said.”
“This is Lim Jae-hoon! I am 25 years old! Blood type B, Eohung tiger zodiac, birthday on August 23rd. Your zodiac sign is Virgo! I like to read books. Chocolate milk!’
“I heard about you at the police station.”
The villager who was following behind them was terrified just in case.
Jaehoon seemed to be shaking in fear, and the man called the police was taking him like a loan shark.
It seemed like a bar for people.
Not only that, but people passing by and even people coming out of the convenience store all focused their eyes on Shin Hyuk.
“What are you doing?”
“Isn’t that Jaehoon?”
“What are you?”
People came and gathered one by one, and Shin-hyeok stopped walking.
Their own gaze was different.
Contempt, vigilance, anger.
Shin Hyuk was consistent with a calm expression.
I don’t care how people see me
Whether you see them as kidnappers, despicable people, or character breakers. Seen as unscrupulous.
Now that I have stepped into a world different from ordinary people, I have to endure it alone.
No matter how they see or think of me, let’s just look forward and move forward so that our faith will not be broken.
So, always avoid emotions.
All opponents in front of you are subjects.
I take it as a natural result and accept it.
“Who are you?”
When a man with a fairly good build asked, Shin Hyuk said without expression.
Of course, I also showed my ID.
They were blocking Shin Hyuk’s path.
“It is the police. It is an urgent situation, so if you do not disperse from now on, I will arrest you for obstructing the execution of public affairs.”
There were people who hesitated, and there were people who gave more strength to their eyes.
“Are you a real cop?”
Shin Hyuk met the gaze of the man who did not erase his suspicious eyes.
Shin Hyuk’s dark eyes scanned his face.
“Disband.”
In an instant, the man felt the chicken meat bite him, and he backed away without even realizing it.
As soon as the road was open, Shin-hyeok grabbed Lim Jae-hoon’s arm and moved on.
“I have a disability! Help me!”
The residents who looked at the back of the two opened their mouths.
“Are you a real cop?”
“It looks fine, but…”
“Shouldn’t I follow you?”
“Let’s go.”
A few people chased after Shin-hyeok, suspecting just in case, but in the end, Shin-hyeok entered the villa where Jae-hoon Lim lived.
Shin Hyuk rang the doorbell.
Ding dong- ding dong-
“mom! Dad! Jaehoon is here! Jaehoon is here!”
Next to Shin Hyuk, Lim Jae-hoon called Mom and Dad fiercely.
A trembling mother’s voice came straight from inside.
“Jae, is Jaehoon here?”
Shin Hyuk could immediately recognize her voice.
I knew my son was gone.
rattle.
As soon as the door opened, Lim Jae-hoon ran inside.
The mother, who was drenched in a cold sweat, was surprised and couldn’t help but be embarrassed once again when she saw Shin Hyuk.
The son who went outside and came back, and the person he saw at the police station.
Could it be that your son has been captured?
She stuttered and opened her mouth.
“Who, who are you?”
Shin Hyuk lifted up his ID.
“I saw you once at the police station, right? My name is Lee Shin-hyeok.”
“Who is it?”
Her husband, who checked Shin Hyuk’s face, was also surprised.
“How is this…”
Shin Hyuk smiled softly.
“I came because there was a report of an incident in this town, but it seemed that my son was wandering, so I came with him. I’m glad the address is correct.”
“ah······.”
The couple swept the talk.
At that moment, I only knew that Kim Do-tae had been caught.
“thank you. She’s not like that, but thank you very much.”
My wife bowed her head.
The husband also glanced at the room the son was in and bowed his head to Shin-hyeok.
“Thank you, thank you. It could have been a big deal.”
“It’s my job. Could I get you a glass of water to drink?”
Seeing that her cheek muscles stiffened for a moment and her pupils shook slightly from side to side, Shin-hyeok decided.
I know why my son went out in the middle of the night.
While the wife hesitated for a moment, the husband spoke quickly.
“of course. Come on in.”
“thank you.”
Upon entering, Shin-hyeok turned his attention to the closed room, not the room Lim Jae-hoon was in.
It seemed to be a temporary child’s room.
“Sit.”
“thank you.”
When Shin-hyeok sat down, his wife handed him a glass of water from a tray.
“I will drink well.”
Shin Hyuk drank water and moistened his chest as if watering a dry field.
“That must have been your daughter’s room.”
The couple took a deep breath and nodded.
“Yeah.”
“Do you know a profiler?”
The couple looked at each other for a moment at Shin-hyeok’s unexpected question, but soon turned their heads back to Shin-hyeok.
“Yeah. I know.”
“I’m the profiler, would you mind taking a look at your daughter’s room?”
“Yes?”
“Yeah?”
The couple who answered at the same time made faces as if they were talking about something.
Shin Hyuk made a pitiful expression by raising the chumi muscle (the muscle between the eyebrows inside the eyebrows).
It was to form rapport.
“Those who commit suicide leave a suicide note, but they also leave an invisible signature right before committing suicide. You can get a glimpse of the thoughts you had at the time in objects and items you touched.”
“ah···.”
The wife brought her hand to her chest, and the husband patted her on the shoulder.
“Then… I beg you. thank you.”
The child has passed away, but the parents want to know more.
Why did you do it, why did you have to do it?
Tell mom first, tell dad first.
If it’s difficult, let’s talk first…
At his wife’s words, Shin Hyuk nodded and stood up.
“Yeah.”
His wife reached out to Im Si-ah.
Shin Hyuk could hear it then.
The sound of hinges twisting slightly.
Shin Hyuk went inside.
There was a well-made bed in the innermost part, and there was a desk next to it.
On the ceiling on the side of the bed where you sleep with your feet, there is a drying rack where you can hang laundry and clothes.
The neck was hanging here.
After looking at the drying rack for a moment, Shin Hyuk turned his gaze to the desk.
As expected of a college student who dreamed of becoming an elementary school teacher, major books were lined up.
There seemed to be nothing special.
This time I turned my head to the drawer.
“Is it okay if I open it?”
“Yeah.”
Shin Hyuk opened the top of the three drawers.
drooling.
The top was well made.
This time in the space below.
It was bottoms.
The third compartment contains well-folded socks.
But there was nothing there was to be.
Shin Hyuk opened the built-in cabinet with both hands.
Her clothes were hung tightly, and looking at the sleeves, she seemed to enjoy wearing things she had bought a long time ago without throwing them away.
Shin Hyuk tried to remove the hanging clothes.
A pink box was visible deep inside.
Shin Hyuk took his hand and opened the lid of the box.
The colorful underwear was folded one after another.
Even though there are obviously built-in cabinet drawers, I put them in a box and put my underwear deep inside as if I was hiding it.
then the wife said
“My Shia is very shy.”
“okay.”
I hear hesitation in my wife’s voice.
Home is a place to take off your mask and rest.
It is very unlikely that you will be ashamed of your family for revealing underwear you are not wearing.
After closing the built-in closet, Shin-hyeok approached the door he had heard first.
Hinge is bent.
Shin Hyuk, who was slowly scanning the door, raised his hand and scanned the top.
At that time, the pupils of Shin Hyuk’s eyes dilated slightly.
There were dents.
When I rub it with my finger, it is rough as if thorns are going to pierce it.
Crumbs also stick to it.
It’s not like this hasn’t happened in a long time.
Moment. The video flowed in Shin Hyuk’s eyes.
* * *
I opened the door and entered.
Im Si-ah, who was lying on the bed, looks at me.
I fiddled with the string with my hands behind my back.
“@#%$^*#$”
When I said something incomprehensible, Im Si-ah stood up.
“*#$%?”
Im Si-ah, who had approached, turned back toward the bed.
I momentarily hung a rope around Im Si-ah’s neck, and passed the rope over the door as if running into the living room.
“brother?”
Hearing Im Si-ah’s voice, he pulled the string right behind the door.
thud! thud! thud!
Im Si-ah’s body, with her toes floating in the air, hits the door.
I can’t see him pulling the string from the back of the door, but he’s probably pulling the string around his neck.
thud! thud! thud!
thud! thud······.
The power that had been felt irregularly in the string slowly began to be felt collectively.
it is stretched
I held on to the line for a few more minutes.
“That…why… is it okay…”
Shin Hyuk turned his head to the side at the sound of a voice that sounded like he was submerged in water.
The figure of a woman who had been weeping appeared suddenly as if coming out of the surface of the water.
It was Lim Jae-hoon’s mother.
“Something wrong with the door?”
In response to her question, Shin Hyuk stretched out his hand that was touching the door.
And he opened his mouth.
“Sia’s mother, didn’t you know that Shia hanged herself? Did you throw it away?”
She shook her head.
“no. I keep it to organize it together when I organize Shia items. Still, I thought it was the last item I used… But why is that…?”
“Where are you?”
“There in the desk drawer…”
“That’s where the culprit DNA comes from.”
It took a lot of force, and the DNA had no choice but to be embedded in the string.
Shin Hyuk continued before the couple were even surprised.
“It’s very rare for a woman to tuck her underwear deep in a built-in closet. It’s okay even if you don’t have it. That’s the signature Sia left behind .”
