No one doubted. (3)

After crossing the crosswalk, Shin Hyuk continued walking.

If you simply think about it, he would have checked the CCTV out of concern for the possibility that Go Hwa-jeong could leak from the crossroads to another way, but Shin-hyeok did not.

It was because the tendency and type of Koh Hwa-jeong had a remarkably low probability.

Based on the statements of Go Hwa-jeong’s mother and friends, we can get a glimpse into her life.

He never misses or is late, and when it comes to appointments with friends, he doesn’t show up first or make others wait.

He hates to cause trouble to others and has a strong sense of responsibility.

Even if someone asked for help at the intersection, it was more likely that he would have refused, although he was sorry because his unconsciousness, which had accumulated like a habit, worked.

Such a solid crystal evaporated.

Considering the 100% chance of kidnapping, the criminal who kidnapped Ko Hwa-jeong is bold. Confident and used to it.

Looking at the scene of the fire, the culprit would have thought it was a buffet.

Like a wolf that finds a flock of sheep.

If sheep were people, people didn’t recognize wolves as wolves.

It was just natural and natural, so I didn’t run away without a boundary.

Soon after arriving at the little building where the fire broke out, Shin-hyeok looked at the police line for a moment, then turned around and walked to the next building.

It was a cosmetics store that handles several brands, and there were CCTVs that were filmed all the way to India.

After entering, Shin-hyeok approached the counter and presented his ID.

“It is the police. Could I have a look at the CCTV?”

She hesitated involuntarily.

He was a handsome, clean-looking man without a speck of dust, but he seemed to have a chill running through him like a vampire, not a human.

The voice is also low-pitched.

However, Shin Hyuk’s figure disappeared in an instant.

it changed the expression.

When Shinhyuk smiled, she finally opened her mouth.

“Yesterday another policeman came to see you. Make a copy and take it with you.”

‘Another police officer went to see it because of the fire.’ You can think of it like this generally, but it was a reference situation for Shin Hyuk.

I don’t know if he is a cop or not.

I shouldn’t have taken for granted what seemed natural to me.

“Because I can’t see it. I ask for your cooperation. You only need to look at it for a moment, from 17:43 to 50 yesterday.”

The last time Go Hwa-jeong sent a message to her mother was 17:43.

“Come over here.”

Shin Hyuk went inside the counter and looked at the record for 7 minutes.

During those 7 minutes, many students in school uniform passed by, but there was no Go Hwa-jung.

She said to Shin-hyeok, who was looking at the screen once more.

“Thank you very much. I heard no one died.”

“Have you taken any pictures of the scene with your cell phone?”

“Yeah. That’s true… but why is that…”

“The teacher’s help may be a decisive clue to the investigation. I would appreciate it if you could show it to me.”

“Ah yes.”

She picked up her phone from the checkout counter and tapped it.

“I recorded it on video. Here you go.”

“thank you.”

Upon receiving the cell phone, Shin Hyuk first checked the video recording time.

17:44.

It was 17:43 when Go Hwa-jung took a picture and sent it to her mother.

There is a difference of 1 minute from the time the video was recorded.

The video was cluttered with human voices and police car and ambulance sirens.

Even a fire truck about to enter India.

The people in the video are about 30 people, both men and women.

But Go Hwa-jeong was nowhere to be seen.

Shin Hyuk was sure.

while this video was being filmed.

‘It was here.’

In the photo Go Hwa-jeong sent to her mother, only a few people were taken.

In other words, beyond the people in this video, there was Go Hwa-jeong at the forefront.

It was just invisible to people.

“Looked good. thank you.”

“Yeah. Come again, no, thank you for your hard work.”

After greeting him, Shin-hyeok went outside and stood in front of a small building that was tanned.

People pass by now indifferently, but the place where people gathered at the time of the fire.

At that time, a man coming out of the little building found Shin Hyuk.

It was a detective from another team who briefly visited Shin-hyeok, who was alone in the morning.

This time, his gaze was not kind.

“Did you come here to find something to eat?”

Shin Hyuk lowered his head slightly, looking at the identity hanging on his chest.

[Kang Ji-ho]

“See you again. I am Sergeant Lee Shin-hyeok.”

“Who sent you? Who is Team 1’s leader? Did you tell me to go and pick up something to eat?”

“no. That’s not…”

Kang Ji-ho laughed as if he was laughing.

“No, f*ck it, it seems like they’re trying to put a spoon on the finished rice without any morals.”

Kang Ji-ho looked up and down at Shin-hyeok and spoke again.

“There is a short circuit.”

There was a subtle disregard for his words.

Do you know what that youthful-looking youngster short circuit scar is?

It was a word familiar only to legal scholars.

“Oh, is that so?”

Jiho Kang let out a laugh.

There are definitely things like this.

Those who pretend to know when they don’t even know.

If you don’t know, you’re cute.

Did you say that you just became a profiler and went on a business trip as a strong first team?

profiler, profiler… only laughter comes out

Kang Ji-ho hated profilers.

I’ve seen and heard them myself, but it’s common to get them wrong.

Not only did it confuse the investigation, but only cases that were hit by chance were focused on in the media, and I didn’t know how often they were wrong.

In addition, it was even disgusting to see a guy who didn’t have time to go on a business trip and snoop on his team’s case.

Contrary to what he thought, Kang Ji-ho crossed his arms and smiled.

I was thinking of picking it up.

“This is it, it will be difficult to find the culprit.”

“Didn’t you say there was a short circuit?”

“It did?”

“You said it was a short-circuit fire. Did any ripples come out during the excavation?”

The discovery of a short circuit often meant a natural fire.

The melting point of copper in wiring is 1,000°C.

In the event of a short circuit or short circuit, high heat of 2,000℃ to 3,000℃ is generated, and at this time, the copper melts and both sides of the cut harden into a bead-like shape.

It is called a short circuit mark, but the wave mark was a wave-like mark on the floor when an inflammable substance was sprayed.

In other words, wave marks are often observed when a fire is deliberately set.

“what?”

Kang Ji-ho’s eyes widened slightly.

Then, Lee Soo-jeong appeared.

She looked at Kang Ji-ho and greeted him casually.

“Hello.”

Kang Ji-ho’s eyes turned to her.

“Hey, isn’t this dirty play? What are you doing like a hyena cub?”

“You seem to be misunderstanding something. I didn’t come because of the fire incident.”

“Stop talking nonsense, this case is ours. Don’t even think about putting a spoon on it.”

Kang Ji-ho, who left those words, patted her on the shoulder with his shoulder and passed by.

Lee Soo-jung brushed her shoulders with her white hand.

“It must be a lie.”

“what?”

“That there is an arsonist.”

“yes?”

“It’s because the words don’t match.”

The corner of the mouth that went up slightly with arms crossed, and the non-verbal touches on the neck once.

Lee Soo-jeong laughed.

She had no interest in Kang Ji-ho’s words.

“Did you find anything more than that?”

“It seems to be missing here.”

she looked around.

Even though it is early, there are many people passing by.

“here? how?”

“Right after I sent a message to my mom.”

“There must have been a lot of people at the time of the fire?”

“Rather, that would have worked to the perpetrator’s advantage. I would have thought it was a party house.”

Lee Soo-jung’s eyebrows gathered.

No matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t remember how the culprit took Hwajeong.

Common sense makes no sense.

What kind of madman would openly commit kidnapping in the streets?

These days, individualism is getting worse and no matter how much you don’t care about other people’s business, but if a lot of people are gathered in one place because of a fire, a hero will come out.

If others had witnessed the crime, they would have helped.

She opened her mouth in frustration.

“Have you fallen into a manhole?”

In fact, there was also a case where a person was reported missing after falling into a half-open manhole.

An incident in which a person who lost consciousness at the same time as he fell did not know he was falling and closed the lid.

Frustrated, I looked around, but there was no manhole even after washing my eyes.

“Senior, could you check the CCTV in the front building over there?”

I had to include the very slight possibility that Hwajeong rolled back to the library.

It could have been heard that a rookie was giving orders, but Shin Hyuk’s voice was very polite.

“OK.”

And Lee Soo-jung was not a closed person who was dotted with a hierarchical society.

“I will check the fire building CCTV.”

The two parted like that, and Shin-hyeok went to the management office of the little building.

There was a fire, but the management office was fine and people were guarding it.

“Thank you for your hard work.”

* * *

Lee Soo-jung, who checked the CCTV, returned to the fire place.

There was no appearance of Go Hwa-jeong.

At that time, I saw Shin Hyuk coming out of the building.

Soo-jeong Lee approached with an expression full of anticipation.

“Do you have any anger?”

“no. It only contained images of people leaving.”

Lee Soo-jeong sighed and placed her hand on her forehead to see if her head felt hot.

Then he closed his eyes.

“ha···. Where are you, Hwajeong-ah, where have you gone… give me a hint A hint.”

At that time, Shin Hyuk’s voice flowed into her ears.

“But the clues are out.”

Ichigo’s eyes opened quickly.

Was it an illusion?

Shin Hyuk’s eyes felt bleak.

It’s like looking at the footprints of the prey, a twisted gaze.

He suddenly remembered the time he was with Lim Hye-hwa in the interrogation room.

“proviso?”

“Yeah.”

One by one, something began to be excluded from Shin Hyuk’s mind.

“The numbers of the surrounding vehicles were stamped.”

Excluding fire engines.

Excluding police cars.

“A total of five ambulances came in.”

“ambulance?”

“Yeah. The front number was stamped, not the back number.”

“An ambulance? Not sure what you mean? What does that mean?”

Of course, ambulances come to the scene of the fire.

Shin Hyuk’s mouth opened as if he was ready to hunt.

“It’s natural for an ambulance to come to the scene of a fire.”
