＜ Made in USA for 15 years. (2) ＞

Shin Hyuk swallowed dry saliva.

Senior Park Jong-min glared at me while chewing diced radish kimchi washed in water, and senior Lee Su-jeong seemed to take my cell phone and go somewhere.

Senior Choi Dong-chul, who has no neck, has a hard expression.

Would the point of view of an omniscient culprit be like this, would the culprits have this feeling when they saw their seniors?

On the one hand, it feels like being surrounded by menacing blackmailers.

Shin Hyuk swallowed again and said.

“Yeah. I will not accept it.”

Their expressions widened as if they had never done that.

Choi Dong-cheol smiled and nodded.

“Yes, yes. If you have a dinner party in the future, turn off your cell phone. Understand?”

“All right.”

“Come on, eat. hurry.”

When Shin-hyeok turned off his phone, Park Jong-min, who was making a scary face, rang the bell.

However, Shin Hyuk knew very well that that expression was his usual face.

“Add 3 servings of lean meat. Some kimchi and radish radish, please.”

Then, someone tapped Park Jong-min on the back.

Park Jong-min raised his head reflexively.

He was an ordinary middle-aged man.

There was also someone who looked like a child and a wife next to them, and it seemed like they were out to dinner with their family.

Seeing Park Jong-min’s face, he quickly lowered his head.

“sorry. I accidentally stopped while passing by, sorry.”

“Fine. It could be.”

Park Jong-min looked at the child with pigtails and smiled softly.

“Does it look pretty?”

When the child’s face turned to tears, the mother quickly hid the child behind her back.

Mom also bowed her head.

“sorry.”

“It’s really fine.”

Park Jong-min’s smile seemed heinous to them, so they quickly left.

Dongchul Choi said.

“Hey, why are you scaring the baby?”

“When am I?”

“Did you do that now?”

“Originally, when I was that age, I was shy.”

He said as if he remembered Park Jong-min.

“When I went to find Kim Chul-soo’s abandoned cell phone.”

All the tools of the crime were also found there.

“I’m searching, but there’s nutria. But the size.”

Park Jong-min opened his arms as wide as possible and continued.

“It’s like this. I think it was over 1 meter, but its teeth are just the size of my palm. No one is approaching for fear of getting bitten, but would I have stayed still to see the alien species disturbing the ecosystem?”

Shin Hyuk raised his spirits as much as he could and answered.

“You’re not the kind of senior who will stay still.”

Park Jong-min nodded his head broadly.

“Looking at the teeth, it seemed that if bitten, the flesh would just fall off in chunks. no one has access So I immediately grabbed it by the tail and threw it to the ground. Maybe it was because I couldn’t control my strength, so I just shook and passed out.”

Lee Soo-jeong looked at Park Jong-min.

“Do you want Shin-Hyuk to stop eating meat?”

Park Jong-min lifted the tongs and moved several pieces of marbled bling-bling meat side by side in front of Shin-hyeok.

“Shin Hyuk eats a lot.”

“thank you.”

“Come to think of it, you look like nutria.”

At Choi Dong-chul’s words, Park Jong-min shook his head.

“It’s not fun. Brother, that’s the problem. that. If you want to seduce a woman…”

Again, the banquet hall started to buzz.

When you drink soju and eat a piece of meat, it melts in your mouth like ice cream with a savory taste.

I ordered naengmyeon and everything I wanted to eat.

On days when I could eat beef, I ate it as if today was the last.

Choi Dong-cheol suddenly asked.

“How much did we eat?”

Lee Soo-jeong’s eyes shook slightly as she checked the upside-down bilge.

“1.2 million won…”

“Chief, what can I say…”

Park Jong-min swept his bald head.

“I recognized you from the moment I ate two pieces of you.”

“Shut up. You only ordered expensive parts.”

“Hey, are we nagging you? Is the manager listening?”

Just then, manager Jang came into the store.

The team leader, who had been looking around for team members, approached quickly.

“Hey, why are all your phones off?”

Lee Soo-jung made a surprised expression.

“uh? Is your phone battery dead?”

“Ah, it looks like it got wet because it was looking for a crime tool.”

Choi Dong-chul asked quickly.

“What about meals?”

The manager sat down and said.

“I didn’t eat. did everyone eat it? Hey kids, don’t pay attention and order more. Because the chief told me to spend as much as I want within 1 million won.”

While everyone stopped, the team leader rang the bell.

“This is the most expensive and delicious one, please give me 5 more servings.”

It happened so quickly that no one could stop the team leader.

The team leader looked at Shin-hyeok as if it wouldn’t hurt even if he put it in his eyes.

“Eat a lot of our treasure.”

“I ate a lot…”

Choi Dong-cheol cut off Shin-hyeok and gave him an awkward smile.

“Why are you calling?”

“Eat a lot and stay. And the case came down. The Commissioner himself ordered me to come down.”

Choi Dong-cheol wanted to answer the phone.

I turned it off because I often receive calls while eating… Choi Dong-chul asked, clearing his thoughts.

“What is the case?”

“It’s an unsolved case that happened 15 years ago, hey, let’s talk about work tomorrow and eat.”

Lee Soo-jeong set the team leader’s position, and Park Jong-min grilled the meat that came out.

And Choi Dong-chul politely poured soju with both hands.

The team leader blinked at their actions.

“Why are you guys so kind today?”

“The team leader suffered the most. I know everything. Come on, let’s have a drink. All the way.”

“okay. Please eat a lot, chief.”

“This is over. Try this.”

The team leader smiled lightly.

“Babes, the only thing I think about is you.”

The team leader put on a sad expression and drank a glass of soju.

Shin Hyuk remained silent.

* * *

the next morning.

Team leader Jang, who visited the chief’s office, was carefully holding out a card to the chief.

“What did you guys do to play card games?”

At the words of the chief, team leader Jang was unable to say anything.

“Don’t you think 1.7 million won is too much for human beings? I was very excited and told them to spend less than 1 million won.”

“Ah, the kids ate too well… you know that well. Our children suffered a lot…”

Team leader Jang only kept an eye on the chief, and the chief took a long breath as he closed his eyes as if trying to control his anger.

“If my wife finds out about this, I could pull all my hair out. know? I’m taking hair loss pills.”

“If you come to my house for a while…”

“Do you want to get all your hair ripped off by Jesu? done Solve this case well. That way I can protect my hair. Can you keep your hair too?”

“I will keep that in mind.”

The chief sighed and opened his mouth again.

“Yes, go.”

The team leader bowed his head and exited the chief’s office.

Choi Dong-chul asked about the appearance of the team leader who had returned to the strong first team.

“What do you say?”

Team leader Jang, who was silently looking at the team members, made a smile.

“Who am I? huh? Don’t you know that our first team worked hard? It’s been a long time since I’ve had a dinner, and I’m just saying that I can’t eat that much. I got it, I got it So I just came out.”

“I don’t think so?”

“No, what is it? I do not know? Are you the kind of person who just takes it all in when you get pissed off? If you solve this case, I’ll get a card from the Commissioner. Everyone gather in the meeting room.”

Shin Hyuk stood up from his seat with an awkward smile.

He makes lies cool.

In this way, the strong team 1 was able to gather in a conference room with a beam projector.

When everyone was seated, team leader Jang came forward.

Click.

From the first scene, the picture on the screen was horrifying.

Perhaps it was the body of a drowned man, his body was swollen, but everyone except Shin Hyuk gathered their eyebrows together.

Both hands and ankles were missing.

“Oh Hee-jin is 27 years old. As you can see, the hands and feet are gone. Occupation: Elementary school teacher. As for my family, I was an only child and lived with my mother and father.”

Below that, the time of disappearance and the time of discovery of the body were listed.

– Incident reception on Wednesday, April 13 at 23:40.

-April 16th, Saturday, 13:20, the body was found in a reservoir 20km away from the house of the murderer.

– The first reporter, Shin Jong-woo, is 48 years old. Found while fishing.

Click.

This time, it was a scene lying in the autopsy room at the National Forensic Service.

“Since no foam and plankton were detected in the body, and there was a cervical fracture, the cause of death is presumed to be cervical compression asphyxia. The crime tool that cut off the hands and feet is presumed to be a cutting tool that can be cut with force, and there are no signs of sexual assault. The estimated time of death is five hours after the date of the missing person report.”

Click.

This time it was a woman abandoned in the wild.

The top was all worn, and the bottom was stripped of its underwear.

It was an incident that occurred in the same area as the former victim.

“Kwon Ha-eun is a 22-year-old college student. The hand is intact, only the two feet are missing. He went missing on his way home from a part-time job at a factory. As for my family, I have one younger brother and one mother.”

– Case received at 20:10 on May 13th.

– On Friday, May 18, at 13:20, a body was found in a mountain 15km away from the first victim.

– The first reporter, Chae Moon-sik, is 56 years old. herbalist.

Click.

“There were no signs of sexual assault, and it was suffocation due to pressure on the neck. The instrument of the crime is presumed to be a small head. The criminal’s DNA was not found, and a substance presumably a red half-coated glove was detected on the victim’s neck…”

Shin Hyuk nodded slightly.

The signatures and MOs of the first and second cases are clear.

A total of 7 people were killed.

All are thin older brothers in their 20s and were amputated about 10cm above the anklebone.

However, the first case can be called a little different.

Unlike the second case, the hand disappeared.

“The third victim is…”

While team leader Jang was briefing, Shin-hyeok flipped through the case documents given to each team member.

From the third murder, only one foot disappeared.

It means that taking a part of the body like a trophy has been reduced.

“The sixth victim is…”

While listening to the briefing, Park Jong-min looked at the papers and the screen alternately and looked like he was about to kill someone, while Lee Su-jeong pricked her ten fingers with her hair.

Choi Dong-chul brushed his rough beard and gathered his forehead.

“More than.”

After the briefing, Shin Hyuk got up first and turned on the light.

Choi Dong-cheol rubbed his face and said.

“This bastard knows the area well.”

However, all of the people on the suspect line had alibis, and they remained unsolved for 15 years.

The team leader clapped his hands.

“The perpetrator used a knives and coated gloves when strangling his victims. Suspected footprint of the suspect is 270mm.”

Park Jong-min said.

“Even if the culprit was alive there, I think he would have moved.”

said the chief.

“In that case, you would have already been arrested, man. It doesn’t teach me that I was the culprit.”

Team leader Jang turned his gaze to Shin Hyuk.

“Now, let’s listen to our ace.”

Everyone’s eyes were on Shin Hyuk like arrows.

“I think the suspect can be identified surprisingly easily .”
