Find the shadow. (2)

* * *

An empty office greeted Shin Hyuk when he arrived at the wide area profiler team.

“I’m here? isn’t it empty? Everyone is busy.”

Hearing the voice from behind, Shinhyuk turned around.

Jo Kyung-chan was a shooter.

He held out the coffee he had just bought.

Cho Gyeong-chan’s expression was completely different from when Shin Hyuk first came to the wide-area profiler team.

There was a look of anticipation in his eyes.

“thank you.”

“rice is?”

“I came to eat.”

“Come on here.”

Jo Gyeong-chan guided Shin Hyuk to his seat.

It was the same seat as last time, but the setting was different.

The monitor was bigger and the mouse was different.

Cho Kyung-chan opened the drawer.

drooling.

“I have all the writing utensils.”

It was evenly packed with various writing utensils and post-it notes.

“Don’t notice and drink your coffee. Let me know if you need anything more. The notebook is in the lower compartment.”

“thank you.”

Jo Kyung-chan leaned against the partition and asked.

“What do you think? How does it feel to go back to work?”

Shin Hyuk smiled awkwardly and looked around.

“It seems strange that only my seat is so tidy.”

At each seat, paperwork was piled up like a mountain, and letters and lines were drawn in a mess on the portable whiteboard.

Jo Kyung-chan drew a big smile.

“Don’t worry about that. It will be the same sooner or later.”

Because there were a lot of incidents that would give the brain ripening pain in the future.

Cho Kyung-chan continued.

“Did the Commissioner encourage you a lot?”

“Yeah. I think we will have to work harder in the future.”

“Yeah… I haven’t seen it in front of the Commissioner either, but it’s amazing. Awesome. Oh, let me give you a caveat. There is senior Kang Ji-seok, but if you can, don’t face him.”

It was Kang Ji-seok, who was his shooter.

I didn’t know how crappy his personality was.

“All right.”

“If you ask me anything, just say you don’t know. You know, I’m just asking Grab the pod.”

Isn’t that perverted enough?

“thank you. I will be careful.”

“Do you have any questions?”

Shin Hyuk asked politely.

“Work… when shall we begin?”

“ha ha ha! It’s urgent, okay. Let’s see the skills that were praised by the Commissioner. Let’s see…”

Jo Gyeong-chan went back to his seat, brought several file folders, and set them down on Shin-hyeok’s seat.

And spread it like a fan.

“This is my case, pick one.”

The files were piled on top of each other, making it impossible to know where and how the incident happened.

Only the words written in the first file were visible.

[Yeongcheon City Incident]

Shin Hyuk just chose that.

Jo Kyung-chan smiled meaningfully.

“It’s been 3 years, but I’ll give you a chance to choose another one.”

“I was taught that men go straight.”

“ha ha ha. yes.”

Jo Gyeong-chan patted Shin-hyeok on the shoulder as if to encourage him.

“If you are confused or have any questions, ask.”

Cho Gyeong-chan returned to his seat with the remaining cases.

If he was a newcomer, he would have taught him step by step, but Shin Hyuk is a newcomer, but he is not a beginner.

Shin Hyuk sat down and turned over the file.

The first thing I saw was a missing leaflet stapled together.

[Finding a missing youth]

Name: Bitna Kim, 15 years old.

Shin Hyuk raised his eyes and looked at the picture to get a better idea of Kim Bit-na’s face.

She had dark double eyelids, and her face was oval and pretty.

It was a scene where she was walking past the gold and silver room in her school uniform.

Shin Hyuk turned the next page.

However, there were no more data.

Shin Hyuk closed his eyes for a moment.

Swearing was about to come out of my mouth, but I let the stuffy mind flow with a sigh.

Shin Hyuk searched the case on the Internet.

[The police are chasing the disappearance of Kim, but with no results…]

The comments were run wild, as if only angry people had been gathered.

– What are you chasing after?

– The incident observed by the inspector.

– What will come out by belated investigation?

– I can only sigh… I wish I could stay alive.

– They said he wasn’t a kid to run away from home, you f*cking bastards!

– The Golden Hour has passed.

– Is it true that the investigation went into two days after the child disappeared?

– I don’t want to pay taxes because of this.

– Could the serial killer be involved?

After the serial killer who killed 7 people was caught, people were even more angry.

Shin Hyuk, who was quietly looking for the knights, got up from his seat and approached Cho Gyeong-chan.

“Senior, is this all… right?”

Jo Gyeong-chan smiled as if he were sitting there.

“yes. Does your head get hot?”

“Yeah.”

“The cops hate us.”

Jo Gyeong-chan tapped the file folder Shin Hyuk was holding with his finger.

“We get annoyed when we get requests like this. If you’re going to submit a request like this, you’ll have to go see a shaman. is not it?”

Shin Hyuk couldn’t help but put on a dejected expression.

There was too little information.

So was the statement itself.

The personality of the disappeared Kim Bit-na, the radius of action, etc., were not described in detail, no at all.

Just a ‘normal personality.’

However, we still don’t know what happened to Kim Bit-na.

So there is hope.

If they were killed, they would search for corpses and bones.

the culprit first.

Cho Kyung-chan said.

“I’m quiet inside, but I think it’s a kidnapping and disappearance. Other than that, take a look at this case.”

When Jo Kyung-chan brought up another case, Shin-hyeok pondered for a moment.

“Is it okay if I try this case?”

Jo Kyung-chan shook his head slightly.

“There is too little information.”

“So, I’m telling you, can I go to the foreground?”

Jo Kyung-chan almost spit out a laugh.

Isn’t it really absurd?

“Foreign?”

“Yeah. This is my first case, and I really want to try it.”

When Jo Gyeong-chan made a puzzled expression, Shin Hyuk spoke again.

“If we leave now, we can arrive at Yeongcheon City at 13:30.”

Jo Gyeong-chan took a deep breath as if he was worried and looked at Shin Hyuk.

Were your eyes originally like this?

The black eyes are as dark as a black hole.

“Please.”

Jo Kyung-chan lowered his gaze and pondered.

You might think it’s a rookie’s ambition, and if someone saw it, you might even say it’s bold.

However, he showed his ability to do so.

Even if it’s a coincidence, if coincidences of coincidences continue to pile up, that’s skill.

It’s a job…

What will it look like?

I just wanted to check it out.

Cho Gyeong-chan called somewhere.

“Yeah. Chief, I’m sorry. Yeongcheon-si Kim Bit-na case. Do you think I should go to the field?”

– What are you going to do? Oh, did Lee Shin-hyeok go to work?

“Yeah. I am next to you now. I want to go with this friend.”

– ······ Um··· Okay, then come and see. Let’s see if it’s really a treasure trove or not. Give me a choice while taking care of you next to me.

“All right.”

After the phone call, Jo Gyeong-chan looked right at Shin-hyeok and smiled.

“Lunch is at KTX, and the food is good there these days.”

* * *

It was a little less than 2:00 PM when Shin Hyuk and Jo Gyeong-chan arrived in Yeongcheon.

Coming out of the station, Shin Hyuk captured the people passing by at a glance.

Jo Gyeong-chan said while standing side by side with Shin Hyuk.

“As I said on the way, Mr. Shin Hyuk, move.”

Jo Gyeong-chan was going to watch Shin Hyuk.

I put in my mind the role of relieving it if it is excessive and leading it if it is not.

Because he didn’t want to resemble Kang Ji-seok, who was his shooter.

When Shin Hyuk was silent for a moment, Jo Gyeong-chan opened his mouth as if opening a map.

“Usually, when people like us come to the job site, we first visit the site or the police station.”

“Is it okay if I visit Shining?”

Jo Gyeong-chan cleared his ears.

“I can hear you.”

“Yes?”

“I can already hear the detectives cursing at us. It’s very inconvenient for us to go back to places the police went to. It’s like denying that their investigation method is wrong.”

In an instant, Shin Hyuk felt his head go cold.

Then you should have done the initial investigation right.

“There’s nothing wrong with that. let’s go.”

The two took a taxi and headed to Bitna Kim’s house.

Before long, Shin Hyuk and Jo Gyeong-chan were able to get off at the entrance of the apartment.

I took the elevator to the 7th floor.

Jo Kyung-chan opened his mouth with a light smile before ringing the doorbell.

“You’ve been questioning while running on the field, haven’t you? softly.”

“Yeah. All right.”

Shin Hyuk said that, but now was the time to stop seeing people as people.

just one piece. It should be recognized as a subject.

Ding Dong-

As soon as I pressed the bell, a middle-aged woman’s voice came out.

“who are you?”

Shin Hyuk showed his ID.

“hello. mother. It is the police.”

“Wait.”

rattle.

The door opened and a woman in her early 50s appeared.

Kim Bit-na’s mother, she looked haggard.

She sighed and shook her head.

“Haa…, these are people I’m seeing for the first time. Our shine, is there any progress?”

Shin Hyuk threw a word to see her reaction.

“I think the initial investigation was wrong.”

“Yeah? What do you mean?”

Shin Hyuk’s gaze observed her in an instant.

– The eyebrows are lowered and the lower eyelid is tense.

– The lips become thin as if they are going into the mouth.

– The chin is raised.

Those subtle facial expressions and non-verbals indicate that they are feeling anger.

to the police

However, Shin-hyeok did not let her get engulfed in anger.

“So I came down from Seoul to investigate in a different direction. Your daughter must be very scared right now, but I will try to find it quickly. You stated that you had a fight a week before your daughter disappeared, is that correct?”

With a trembling sigh, she opened her mouth nervously.

“Yeah. I said so even then.”

“Then let me ask you a different question this time.”

All possibilities should be left open, and statements of different quality of depth should be secured.

Shin Hyuk was choked with thirst and wanted to scratch his own neck with his nails.
