Shinhyeok Lee. (7)

Sujeong Lee asked indirectly as she headed toward the company building.

“They say there doesn’t seem to be any missing money. what do you think?”

“It seemed so.”

“Why do you think so?”

“Most extortion cases happen in small shops or houses.”

She, who had been walking forward, glanced at Shin-hyeok.

“It’s not easy to break in, and there’s no merit in a studio?”

“Similar.”

Lee Soo-jeong shook her head and said something she was curious about.

“How long have you been a cop?”

“I went to work for the first time today.”

Her feet suddenly stopped.

“today?”

“Yeah. today.”

Ichigo closed his eyes tightly.

“So… you went to work today and went on a business trip with our powerful team? Is this?”

Taking a deep breath and sighing, she nodded as if trying to rationalize the situation as much as possible.

“It was, it was. It can be. It can be. what could be Go.”

Everyone has a first time.

But why is that first person stuck next to me?

Lee Soo-jung, who entered the company building, called the man she had promised.

“hello. My name is Sujeong Lee, whom I contacted. arrived now Oh is it? what do you want to eat? coffee? Fine. Yes, then I’ll be waiting for you.”

After finishing the call, Sujeong Lee turned around.

“Let’s meet at the coffee shop ahead.”

Shin Hyuk nodded slightly.

Designated a coffee shop, not a company.

It may be because he is conscious of confronting the detective, or it may be some kind of derailment, simply wanting to get out of the job.

Sujeong Lee asked in front of the coffee shop counter.

“What would you like to drink?”

“What did he say he was drinking?”

“Ahh.”

“Then I will drink the same. I will pay…”

“There is an investigative fee. Three iced americano, please.”

She used to drink a lot of coffee on the way back and was looking for water, but now she is looking for coffee.

It seemed that he knew the importance of rapport formation from such a small thing.

This is also a great technique to use when seducing the opposite sex.

Profilers who know these psychological skills are seen by others as very attractive.

Of course, I’ve heard that cops running on the ground hate profilers.

Like a nobleman or a nobleman with his hands behind his back, he says he only watches from behind.

So we settled down and Shin Hyuk took the coffee.

Lee Soo-jeong made a noise like someone who poured a cup of soju while drinking a sip of coffee.

“Keuuu… I don’t know if this is how you become an Awakener.”

Become a caffeine awakener…

Shin Hyuk smiled and said.

“You seem to think rappo formation is important even when you are inquiring.”

Ichigo blinked his eyes.

“Rapo formation? What is it?”

oh······.

I didn’t want to drink coffee then, but now I just want to drink it.

“Rapo is…”

Before Shin Hyuk could finish his words, he got up from his seat with a cup of coffee in his hand.

It was because the person sitting behind Sujeong Lee was standing up with her laptop folded.

Lee Soo-jeong looked up at Shin Hyuk and blinked.

“why? why do you wake up Where are you going?”

Shin Hyuk made a light smile.

“It’s my first time, so I think I could make mistakes. I will sit in the back.”

“Don’t strain your eyes and just listen, right?”

“One person will be less burdened than two people.”

Even if the other person is not involved in the incident, the police who come to the other person may put pressure or discomfort on the other person.

It’s like looking at a police car passing by even though you haven’t committed any crime.

Statements can be tainted if the speaker is under pressure.

The essence is that one is better than two.

Senior Lee Soo-jung was a woman, and possessed an outstanding beauty.

It would have been perfect if I had just washed my hair.

Shin Hyuk turned right back and sat down with Lee Soo Jung’s shoulders visible.

She shook her head.

At that time, Sujeong Lee stood up from her seat.

I raised my hand slightly to a man who had just entered the coffee shop and was looking around.

“Park Geun-tae?”

“Ah yes. hello.”

As he sat down, Shin Hyuk took his eyes off his phone for a moment.

Dressed neatly in casual clothes, he appears to be in his late 20s.

The expression on his face was a bit surprised, as if he was surprised.

Senior Lee Soo-jeong’s appearance was enough to make his face look like that.

If you just wash your hair…

After checking Park Geun-tae’s face, Shin Hyuk focused on the conversation, fixing his eyes on his cell phone.

“You’re busy, but thank you for coming here.”

“I came out in my spare time, so I have to go back in soon…”

“It will be over soon. Thank you for your cooperation. Eat this.”

“thank you.”

Park Geun-tae took a sip of coffee.

The conversation between the two, which lasted for a while, tapped Shin Hyuk’s hearing as if caught in a spider’s web.

“What is your relationship with the victim Seo Jeong-woo?”

“I am a college classmate.”

“You must have been friendly.”

“Yeah. We often went out to play together. Last year, I also went to the valley to play with Jungwoo.”

“You’ve been very friendly… Looking at the call log, it seems that you have been in contact often.”

“Yeah.”

“You called Seo Jung-woo 30 minutes before the estimated death. What did you talk about? Maybe the voice was uneasy, or it was referring to someone. Did you have a big fight with someone or anything like that?”

Park Geun-tae shook his head.

“no. I didn’t say anything like that. I asked him to come out because he was having a drink outside, but he said he was sleeping because he was tired.”

“Is that sweet?”

“Yeah.”

“Who were you drinking with that day?”

“I was drinking alone.”

“That’s why you called.”

“Yeah.”

“Has Seo Jeong-woo ever done something that might cause you to hold a grudge or borrowed money from people around you or something like that?”

“I didn’t hear that. Not even that guy. It was nice. Please catch the guy who did that, detective.”

Ichigo nodded slowly.

“Yeah. I will try my best to catch it. Thank you for your cooperation. You’re busy, but you can go in now.”

“Then, have a good time at work.”

Park Geun-tae lowered his head slightly before leaving.

Sujeong Lee, who sucked up her coffee all the time, stuffed her notebook into her back pocket.

The reason Lee Soo-jung sent Park Geun-tae right away was because he had an alibi.

When Park Geun-tae called the victim, the caller was an hour away from the crime scene.

He briefly talked to Seo Jeong-woo at a place an hour away, then came right there and killed his friend?

It was close to impossible even by taking a bullet taxi.

“He is an interesting person.”

She turned her head at the sound of Shin Hyuk’s voice coming from the side.

Shin Hyuk stood at the door through which Park Geun-tae had exited, his gaze fixed.

“Suspicious.”

“Awards? why? what?”

“A statement.”
