＜ Even after many years, I catch it. (2) ＞

But no one saw the message.

Park Jong-min sent another message.

-^^

I waited a little longer, but it’s the same.

– Oh I found it!

It was the same this time too.

– I found it!

“… what are you all doing?”

Park Jong-min, who had been arranging his shaved head with a shy expression, eventually started to return the phone.

* * *

Shin Hyuk, Lee Soo-jeong, and Choi Dong-cheol gathered at the place where Park Jong-min was.

In front of the three of them, Park Jong-min opened his mouth with a spleen expression.

“The feeling came right from the beginning. I feel like I should come here somehow. Otherwise, the case may be prolonged.”

Park Jong-min crossed his arms and nodded.

“The senses are winding around my body like a dragon ascending to heaven! When I came here, it fit perfectly.”

Choi Dong-cheol scratched his cheek.

“If anyone sees it, they will know that you are talking about your impressions of the Best Actor Award. Didn’t the tarantula tell you to go?”

Park Jong-min lifted a finger and shook it from side to side.

“I was thinking of this from the beginning too.”

Shin Hyuk smiled and intervened.

“You are also a senior.”

At those words, Park Jong-min smiled deeply.

It was night, so it looked even more eerie.

“This is my intuition and Shin Hyuk’s brother’s…”

At that time, Choi Dong-chul, who was bringing his cell phone to his ear, spoke.

“Hey, stop talking nonsense. Yangpyeong handmade shoes?”

Park Jong-min solemnly nodded.

“Yeah. That’s right.”

Shortly after Team Leader Jang answered the phone, Choi Dong-cheol said.

“Chief, have you identified a suspect?”

– Hey, don’t talk. 13, 14 years ago, there were over 900 cases of fatal injuries. Hey.

“What about Yangpyeong?”

– Yangpyeong? Why Yangpyeong suddenly? did anything come out?

“Yeah. Find out now.”

Tuck, Tuck, Tuck, Tuck.

The sound of an eagle typing and heel slicing could be heard several times.

– There are 14 of them.

“What are their jobs? Does anyone make handmade shoes?”

– Handmade shoes, handmade shoes… uh!? there is there is. Noh Tae-joon, 49 years old at the time, received 10 years of injury for sexually harassing the female president of the bar. He must have been released now… Hey, this is what Shin Hyuk said. where are you now

“Where is it, I’m going to catch that bastard. What was his phone number at the time?”

Choi Dong-chul reached out to Park Jong-min, feeling that the puzzles were pointing in one direction.

“Give me that bastard’s phone number.”

Park Jong-min showed me the number he had put on his cell phone.

At the same time, the team leader called the number.

– Between the public and the public·······.

One corner of Dongchul Choi’s mouth went up at an angle.

“This kid is right. What is your address?”

– After being released from prison, the place of registration is right in Yangpyeong. This bastard is wearing an electronic anklet. I’ll take a picture of your address, so I’ll go to Yangpyeong, find out, and contact you.

“OK.”

After the phone call, Choi Dong-chul smiled and gave Shin-hyeok a thumbs up.

And I looked at my teammates.

“Let’s go to Yangpyeong. Roh Taejun is going to catch this bastard.”

The distance from Hongcheon to Yangpyeong could be reached in 4 to 50 minutes.

Since he didn’t bring his car, Shin Hyuk and his teammates headed straight to the taxi stand.

Lee Soo-jung, who had been walking ahead, turned around.

“Good job.”

Park Jong-min swiped his nose and proudly showed his teeth.

“What is this? It’s something you can do if you follow my half. I just don’t wash my hair every day…”

Ichigo’s face turned cold.

“You can’t praise that bastard like this. Me and I washed my hair today, Bingshi.”

* * *

9:50 at night.

Following the location that Team Leader Jang had given us, the group arrived in Yangpyeong after 50 minutes, and looked dumbfounded.

It was a street sparsely lined with small beauty salons and clothing stores.

[Yangpyeong handmade shoes]

Nome’s place of business remained the same as it was 15 years ago.

Visually, it is about 30 pyeong in size.

The shutters are down, but light is leaking through the holes.

Shin Hyuk was the only one whose face did not change.

No, little by little, the corners of my eyes began to sharpen.

It is his hideout and den.

As Choi Dong-cheol approached as if he would tear the shutter open, Lee Soo-jeong blocked it.

“I will.”

Lee Soo-jeong immediately rolled up her jeans, revealing her ankles.

When Park Jong-min shook his head and tried to open his mouth, Lee Su-jeong spoke first.

“Don’t open that mouth. Die.”

Choi Dong-cheol smiled.

“Yes, that would be a way.”

Because the culprit was a guy obsessed with feet.

Soon, Soo-jung Lee approached the shutter, and the other party took their seats on either side as if they had disappeared.

Lee Soo-jung’s pure white fist knocked on the shutter.

thud. thud. thud.

“anyone there?”

When there was no sign of popularity, he knocked once more.

thud. thud. thud.

In an instant, along with a rattling sound, an unpleasant voice resembling iron scraping was heard.

“Who are you?”

“I came here because I heard that this place makes handmade shoes. Is the business closed?”

drooling.

The shutter door went right up to Lee Soo-jung’s ankle.

Choi Dong-cheol and Park Jong-min, who were positioned on the left and right of Lee Soo-jung, tickled the tension.

Soon the voice came again from under the shutters.

“… What’s your foot size?”

Sujeong Lee answered like a mannequin without an expression.

“225mm.”

“Have you tried on handmade shoes?”

“no. This is my first time.”

“Once you wear handmade shoes, you cannot wear other shoes because they are uncomfortable. Let’s start by measuring the feet accurately.”

Drooling!

The shutter door rolled up as if opening its mouth.

Noh Tae-jun, 64 years old.

It was the moment when he finally showed up.

It was a slender body that seemed to be about 176 cm tall, and its eyes were slit.

He had an impressive hooked nose.

His eyes, which had been looking at Lee Soo-jung’s face, fell back to her ankles.

It was white and smooth.

Sujeong Lee felt as if insects were wriggling and crawling up her ankles.

“Come on in.”

Ichigo nodded lightly.

“Yeah.”

However, the next action was not light.

Pak!

“100 million!”

Lee Soo-jung’s foot kicked Noh Tae-jun’s ankle joint exactly.

Noh Tae-joon dropped to one knee.

At that moment, Shin Hyuk could confirm that an electronic anklet was attached to his ankle.

“Everyone, who are you!?”

Park Jong-min whistled and answered.

“Who is who? The cops are here to catch you.”

Choi Dong-cheol grabbed Noh Tae-joon by the back and raised him up.

“Hey, Noh Tae-jun. You thought you wouldn’t get caught? yes?”

“What are you talking about? It’s been a while since I got out of prison, and I haven’t committed any crimes.”

Choi Dong-chul narrowed his brows and laughed.

“Look at this bastard.”

Shin Hyuk’s black eyes captured him caught in Choi Dong Chul’s hand.

In everyday life, people tend to turn their heads when they intuitively feel someone’s gaze.

Shin Hyuk’s gaze now had a softness hidden in it that was difficult to detect even with the five senses.

It was sleepy and severe.

and deep

To the point where you wouldn’t even know it came right behind your back.

“You guys are catching raw people! You paid for your sins!”

Shin Hyuk looked away as if he was no longer worthwhile and entered the store.

When a monster comes out of the world, it reveals itself completely.

I clearly imprint on people who I am.

But now, Noh Tae-joon’s behavior was not that pure.

Neither a monster nor a human.

It just felt dirty and polluted, like dregs.

So even though Shin Hyuk found him, his thirst was still not satisfied.

As if your body is warning you to fill up quickly, this feeling of soft heat rising up and scratching your cracked neck even more.

But still, there was a way to satisfy this choking thirst.

The actions he took at the time.

You have to see the results of the method.

That way, you will be able to meet and understand worse guys in the future.

Upon entering, Shin-hyeok could see the handmade shoes Noh Tae-joon had made for sale.

Park Jong-min, whose bald head was reflecting a bright light, said as he looked around.

“I’m sure the crazy bastard has one signature.”

The stitching was all in the form of a dense chain.

At that time, Shin-hyeok was able to find the door through which Noh Tae-joon must have come out a moment ago.

The door was open.

Shin Hyuk’s steps headed in a straight line.

A space of about 10 pyeong.

The lights were on brightly.

A sewing machine, a whetstone to sharpen things, a small hammer to hammer leather, sandpaper, and various other equipment needed to make handmade shoes.

As I stepped in, I could see something like a square bookshelf to the left.

There, like a museum, the shoes covered in glass boxes were lined up as if they were on display.

The total number is one, two, three… seven.

The color of the high heels is white, no, they are all as pale as a human face.

Momentarily, a noise appeared in front of Shin Hyuk’s eyes, and the environment changed.

* * *

I sat down and cut it with a razor blade and pushed the chemically treated hide away with a tool.

It is a work to straighten out the leather.

It is thinner than the skin of an animal, so the power control must be delicate.

However, this process gives the heart a lot of pleasure like a live fish.

If I made a mistake, he wanted to punish me.

Swoop.

This is the ankle part, and the side that is now being stretched is the instep part.

I picked up the finely stretched leather and held it up to the light.

Every spot where the hair is removed shines like an emerald.

One dot on the right is very attractive.

I will use it as is.

I carefully brought the tip of the felt-tip pen to the leather.

It was more difficult than any other leather, so the design had to be well crafted.

Not even a single drop of sweat should be shed.

As the design is gradually completed, I suddenly think of tattooists.

food.

Foolish bastards, if it’s art, then this is art.

After the design was completed, I took a hammer and hit the leather.

thud. thud. thud.

There is rubber under the leather, so every time you hit it, it has enough elasticity to make your hand feel happy.

tutu tu tu tu-

A sewing machine needle pierces the leather.

“Beauty… Talent…”

What?

A rumbling voice came from behind, as if submerged in water.

thump

Someone tapped my shoulder from behind.

Simultaneously with bewilderment, I slowly looked back.

In an instant, Park Jong-min’s face came into Shin-hyeok’s eyes as if a light were turned on.

“You crazy bastard… is this right? There are seven shoes.”

Park Jong-min, who had been resting on Shin-hyeok’s shoulder, approached the glass tube frowning arrogantly.

Lee Su-jeong and Choi Dong-cheol, who followed, were at a loss for words.

At that time, Noh Tae-joon, who was being held by Choi Dong-cheol, said.

“It’s just a studio, what are you thinking about?”

Choi Dong-cheol raised his hand as if he were going to slap Noh Tae-jun on the cheek.

“Hey you crazy bastard. Does this just look like a studio to you? It’s just an ordinary studio for you, isn’t it?”

At that time, Shin Hyuk approached the glass tubes lined up like trophies.

And opened the single drawer on the right side.

drooling.

There was a small children’s shoe, kept in a glass coffin.

Swear words flowed from the mouths of Park Jong-min, Lee Soo-jeong, and Choi Dong-cheol.

Moment.

chain fluid!

Noh Tae-jun hit Choi Dong-chul on the head with a leather hammer he had picked up before he knew it. No, it passed through his head, and blood ran down Choi Dong-chul’s head.

I could have avoided it, but I didn’t deliberately avoid it completely.

And Choi Dong-chul only saw blood, but he looked fine.

Choi Dong-chul bared his teeth fiercely.

He was smiling, but there was anger in his eyes.

“Yeah, it should have come out like this. you waited you hit me first I have no choice but to do this in the process of subduing you.”

F*ck!

Choi Dong-cheol smashed Noh Tae-joon’s head into a rubber board.

As if to block Noh Tae-joon’s mouth with his violent hand, he grabbed him as if he was about to break his chin, and fixed it so that he could not move.

“Are you only passing out eight times? Did you understand?”

Shin Hyuk looked at the scene and thought.

Like a drunk fool, I’m going to have to do a sword dance .
