Shinhyeok Lee. (8)

“declaration?”

Sujeong Lee looked back at her memories for a while, like rewinding a video.

‘We used to hang out together often. Like Jungwoo last year, the valley also…’

Her head tilted.

Park Geun-tae’s statement did not feel unusual.

“Suspicious… At what point?”

Shin Hyuk sat down facing Lee Soo Jung.

“There was emotional distance before and after the victim’s death.”

Lee Soo-jeong gathered her white forehead.

“What does it mean? Let’s put it simply. easily.”

Shin Hyuk recited the statement Park Geun-tae said.

“We even went out to play together. Last year, I also went to the valley to play with Jungwoo. The thought that he would be like that… In this statement, he called his name when he was alive. It’s Jungwoo.

But on the contrary, after death, we refer to him as ‘him’.”

“uh?”

Ichigo’s eyes widened slightly.

Shin Hyuk nodded his head slightly and continued.

“This statement is a phenomenon in which the other person responds unconsciously, and I have nothing to do with the death. It is a reaction to avoid the incident by choosing a word with a sense of distance rather than the name Jungwoo.”

“I think there’s a point…”

Shin Hyuk spoke again of Park Geun-tae’s statement.

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

Lee Soo-jung opened her mouth.

“Are you nice? him?”

“you’re right. When I was alive, I expressed ‘I was kind’ with a strong emotional bond without any emotional distance. However, after the victim dies, intimacy is expressed as ‘him’.”

Lee Soo-jung looked at Shin-hyeok as if she was curious, then drank the coffee and opened her mouth.

“I really didn’t kill myself, but I thought it might bother me, so I could do that unconsciously, right? Yo?”

“It could be. But there are more suspicious things.”

“behavior? What did you see? Profilers say they see things like that, don’t they?”

Shin Hyuk lightly shook his head.

Except for the first time Park Geun-tae approached Lee Su-jeong, he didn’t look at her.

People instinctively sense who is watching them.

Being so conscious increases the likelihood that statements will be contaminated.

Shin Hyuk kept an eye on Park Geun-tae only by hearing.

“Park Geun-tae’s statements are very frequent before the victim’s death. The story of the time of death was never told. If his statements are 100%, the statements before the incident are 70%, the statements immediately before the incident are 10%, and the statements after the incident are 20%. Death aversion to the victim is strong. another one···”

“another one?”

Soo-jeong Lee felt her hair stand up.

It was like stepping into a new territory.

“If it was such a close relationship, the statements should have been mixed with emotional reactions such as anger or sadness. But there was none of that. Statements and emotional responses are inconsistent.”

By analyzing the statements and considering the past tense, present tense, and future tense of the language and mixing the words with the other person, you can determine whether they are lying or telling the truth.

This is not limited to investigations, but you can find out the psychology of the target, lies and truth, such as friends or lovers.

“Oh my god…”

A murmur that I did not know came out of Sujeong Lee’s mouth.

Shin Hyuk couldn’t help but laugh.

Cursing came out naturally from such a pretty face, to the point where I felt a sense of separation.

“Is it possible that Park Geun-tae is hiding something?”

“Yeah.”

Lee Soo-jung, who blinked her eyes as if rolling her head, threw a question.

“Still, you have a clear alibi to put on the suspect list?”

“No matter how many people these days live with cell phones, cell phones are not chips embedded in the body.”

Soojung Lee closed her eyes and slapped her forehead with the palm of her hand.

Intuition is such a scary thing.

Isn’t it like following a bone in front of you like a puppy?

Lee Soo-jeong, who opened her eyes again, immediately called somewhere.

“Yes, I am. where are you?”

– Where is it? I’m following the black box.

“Put that aside for a moment. Go to the location where Park Geun-tae called victim Seo Jeong-woo and find out if he was really alone at that time.”

– Yeah? suddenly? I have to search for this all day today… No, someone with an alibi…

“I will send you a picture of Park Geun-tae. Isn’t our Jongmin nice? Move right away.”

When Soo-jeong Lee hung up the phone, Hyuk Shin asked.

“Did you take a picture?”

Ichigo smiled.

“I just wanted to take a picture.”

“Ahh···. Oh, can I go to the site now?”

“site? Do you want to go exploring with me? have to go I think we should go together.”

At first I thought it came with a lump.

However, the hump analyzed a short conversation with Park Geun-tae.

in that short time.

It’s not a fictional novel, but enough to be a strong convincing.

It felt like a mercenary holding the key to the case had fallen from the sky.

People looked different.

“I will go to the scene and find out the motive for the murder. If you can record the victim’s girlfriend’s statement, I’ll come back and listen to it.”

The motive for the killing, finding out the motive is the top priority.

The center of the case is the motive.

Lee Soo-jung licked her lips and nodded her head as if she was sorry.

The specificity of the job is different.

“OK. The location of the site is…”

The two got up from their seats.

* * *

Arriving near the scene, Shin Hyuk looked around and walked.

It was a place where villas and studios were concentrated.

The neighborhood was quiet and not noisy.

The culprit of the incident is also a silent shadow.

Before entering the scene, Shin Hyuk looked around the one-room building where the victim lived.

The structure was not very different from other one-room buildings.

There is a CCTV at the entrance to the building.

The entrance door was password-protected, making it difficult for outsiders to enter.

As Lee Soo-jeong told him, Shin-hyeok entered the password and went inside.

There is no elevator, and the building has 5 floors.

Every time I climbed the stairs, the sound of my own shoes echoed subtly.

In each lake, the sound of the TV and the muffled voices of the people could be heard.

There was no particular disturbance at the time of the estimated death of the victim.

“Who are you?”

As Shin Hyuk approached, the policeman who was standing guarding the victim’s house asked.

Shin Hyuk held out his ID.

“This is Lee Shin-hyeok, sergeant of the wide area profiler team.”

The policeman saluted and opened the door.

The door opened, revealing bloodstains on the front door.

A breakaway mark left on the front door like a tadpole by gravity.

Given the relatively large radius of the bloodstain, it is correct that the criminal used a blunt weapon.

Shin Hyuk turned his gaze and looked straight ahead.

It was dark inside.

As if something had opened its mouth.

As if once you step in, you will be stained with the darkness and you will never be able to escape.

But I had to go in.

Because it was a job he chose, and he became a profiler to solve unsolved homework.

Shin Hyuk’s feet entered the front door.

It’s time to become the culprit.
