<
june, 17th, 11.00 pm, myeongdong, seoul…
the police siren was the instrument on that night. the cops and paramedics were around and nobody stayed silent.
taecyeon jumped off the car and slammed the door. he approached nichkhun and got into a serious conversation.
“tell me the latest report.” taecyeon instructed.
“come here.” nichkhun nodded his head to give taecyeon sign to follow him.
they stopped behind the car which seemed had hit another car in the front. nichkhun opened the lid of the trunk and sighed.
“whoever did this was surely cold blooded…there was a pregnant woman in the trunk before. sorry we moved her before you’ve come because she and her baby’s condition were really worse. we were worried they wouldn’t make it if we waited you.”
“it’s okay. go on.”
“so, the couple there,” nichkhun pointed a couple who seemed shocked in paramedic van, “were waiting for the red light when suddenly a car hit their car from the back. and they found the woman. from what the paramedics said, the woman had been shot for at least three times.”
taecyeon nodded and approached the couple, “excuse me, i’m from police department. can we talk for a moment?”
“yes.” the man answered.
“let’s start from your names.”
“i’m ki taeyoung. and this is my wife, eugene.”
“okay, taeyoung-ssi. can you tell me the chronologist?”
“yes…” the man nodded, “we were waiting for the red light turning green when suddenly we felt a hard hit on the back of our car. it was pretty hard that my wife got bleeding on her head. i jumped off the car and shouted to whomever driving the car. it was a man, i’m sure. he hurriedly ran away before i could catch him. i saw the trunk of his car was open. so i checked it, and i found that pregnant woman. so, i called the police.”
“do you remember the characteristic?”
“let me see if i got it right…” taeyoung tapped his chin, “he wore black from head to toe. he really had a pair of narrow eyes. other than that, i didn’t see much…”
“i hope that woman and her baby could be fine…” eugene stated with trembling voice.
“the doctors are fighting on it. thank you for your time.”
“wew…” wooyoung whistled, “this case is so…i don’t know how to express…”
“i got it though…” taecyeon responded, “i really can’t imagine this guy shoot a pregnant woman…for god’s sake…”
“and now she has died…i will do the track to the car. how is it?” wooyoung volunteered.
“good!” taecyeon agreed, “while you’re tracking this car, i’ll find check the evidence.”
taecyeon entered the lab and found nichkhun typing on the keyboard.
“so, how is it going?”
“caliber 44. it’s right three shot. two are in upper chest and one is in the side. the gun isn’t found. there are some fingerprints on the trunk’s lid, but no one match with our criminals list.”
“the man who ran away?”
“we don’t have clue other than ki taeyoung’s testimony.” nichkhun sighed, “this is going to be a hard case.”
taecyeon sighed, “it’s better if wooyoung can track the car though.”
“hey, taecyeon! i got it!”
“speak of the devil.” taecyeon smiled to nichkhun and ran back to his room, “let me take a look.”
“here, i got this from cctvs that were placed in front of buildings around myeongdong. i got four same cars running around that are.” wooyoung clicked a button and the screens split up into four different video.
taecyeon chuckled, “how could you get this?”
“don’t tell anyone,” wooyoung shrugged, “i hacked the buildings’ cctvs.”
taecyeon patted wooyoung’s back, “you’ll get punished after this case’s finished, you know?”
“hey! i did for this case!”
“kidding, man!” taecyeon laughed, “so, i’m sure it’s pretty easy for you to track the license plate and the face.”
“yep.” wooyoung typed something and two pictures appeared, “these are the pictures; the driver and the license plate.”
“let’s send taeyoung the face via e-mail.” taecyeon said.
it wasn’t a long time until they got the reply.
from: kitaeyoung@gmail.com
to: woowooholic@gmail.com
i don’t think it was the face of the driver, officer. he is too old. person i saw that night wasn’t more than 20s. he had a childish face, yet the sharp eyes. i’m sure there’s a mistake with the pictures.
regards,
ki taeyoung
“20s?” wooyoung sighed, “the one in this picture is like 40s, taecyeon. i think it’s impossible.”
“can you check who this guy is?” taecyeon asked.
“yeah, i can. but, ki taeyoung has told that it wasn’t him.”
“but, we can ask him about this car.”
“it was stolen.” the man said.
taecyeon eyed him and nodded, “can you tell me when it was stolen?”
“i used valet service of the building. the valet boy said that the car would be on the c4 area. but, when i got there to take my car, it wasn’t there. and when i complained to the valet service, they said they never asked their client to take the car by alone. they would drive it to lobby.”
“this is weird…” taecyeon sighed.
“what happened with my car, officer…? was it that bad?”
“no, its’ okay. it’s none of your problem. don’t worry. thank you for your time, sir.”
“so, it’s futile, right?” nichkhun sighed, “whoever who made the fingerprints on the lid, must be the killer.”
“damn…this is the dead end!” wooyoung muffled his scream on his hands.
“no…there must be something…” taecyeon said. he picked the phone receiver and called the man whose car got stolen earlier.
wooyoung and nichkhun eyed the bulky man wrote something and bid goodbye.
“so?” wooyoung asked.
“let’s go to the building.” taecyeon said.
“excuse me.” taecyeon showed his badge to the valet service, “i’m ok taecyeon from police department. can i ask you something?”
“of course…” the boy nodded, “how can i help you?”
“did you know that you there was a car stolen not long ago?”
“yes.” the boy nodded.
“the owner of the car said he was served by a boy who wore name tag written lee taemin. do you know where he is?”
“ah…” the boy nodded, “it’s me!”
“so, you’re lee taemin?”
“yes, officer. but, really, i didn’t do that! i never did steal!”
taecyeon chuckled, “calm down, kiddo. i know you didn’t. now, can you tell me what happened with your uniform?”
“hmm…i’d gone home that night. i’m a part timer here so i don’t work until late. but, my uniform was gone two days before the accident. when i asked my friend, they didn’t know about that.”
“so, you don’t have any clue?”
“no…”
taecyeon dropped his head down, “okay, thank you.”
“he didn’t know?” nichkhun asked.
“no.” taecyeon sighed.
“officer!” the boy called him, “i remember something!”
“what is it??”
“i remember that if this building has been closed, the cleaning service will clean this building up.”
“can you please bring me to the cleaning service room?”
“of course. this way, sir.”
they opened the door and entered the room.
“ahjumma,” taemin called the old lady, “they are police. and they have to ask you something.”
“what can i do for you, officer?” the old lady asked.
“taemin’s uniform was gone two days before the accident.” taecyeon said to nichkhun the turned his face to the old lady, “can we have names on the schedule on june 15th?”
“of course.” the old lady took a paper from the cabinet and gave it to taecyeon.
taecyeon read it carefully and his eyes found the locker room cleaner, “lee junho. can you tell me where this guy is?”
“hmm…” the lady tapped his chin, “so bad, he has resigned three days ago.”
“three days ago?” taecyeon glanced at nichkhun.
“it was right a day after taemin’s uniform gone, and a day before the car stolen and we found the woman.” nichkhun smiled, “finally…”
“i’m sorry, but we have to ask you about his address.”
the old lady took a book from his bag and tore a paper from it, “here is his bio.”
“thank you so much.”
“i’ve guessed this…” taecyeons sighed, “take the pictures, nichkhun.”
“he has run away, right?” nichkhun asked rhetorically.
taecyeon shrugged, “yeap.”
“but, he won’t be that far, right?” nichkhun asked, clicking his shutter.
taecyeon opened the folded junho’s bio paper and found another address, “i’ll check him to his alternative address. here is written another address.”
“can i come?” wooyoung asked and with his puppy eyes, there was no way taecyeon be able to deny.
“okay…” taecyeon sighed, “but, behave!”
“aye, sir!”
it wasn’t long until they got on the right street.
“15…19…there! 23!” wooyoung pointed a house.
taecyeon pulled the car over in front of a white house and got out from the car, wooyoung following. he knocked the white wooden door and waited for a moment until a boy opened the door for them.
“can i help you?” the boy said.
“we’re police. is this lee junho’s house?” wooyoung asked.
the boy widened his eyes and shook nervously, “i don’t know if there’s that name here…”
“and who are you? what’s your name?” taecyeon said, noticing a slight anxiousness in the boy’s eyes.
“i’m…i’m this family’s house keeper…i’m lee kikwang…”
taecyeon raised his eyebrows, “weird, you have the same surname with the family you’re keeping. and you’re this family house keeper, how can you don’t know if there’s a son named junho here?”
“i’m new, officer…” kikwang answered, “i’ve just worked here for two days…and ‘lee’ name isn’t rare name…it’s a coincidence.”
“okay, then, kikwang-ssi.” taecyeon sighed, “can we check this house?”
“i-i don’t know…i don’t have right to give permission…”
“we’re police, kikwang-ssi.” wooyoung replied, “we’ll make guarantee there won’t be losing thing from this house.”
kikwang didn’t give his answer but made a way for them to come into the house. from the corner of his eyes, taecyeon could know the boy hiding something. he raked the front living room and saw the stairs in the back of the house. and when he had stepped once, he heard kikwang yelled.
“police is here!!!”
wooyoung jumped onto the boy and stifled the boy on the ground.
“shit!” taecyeon cursed since he heard someone running on the second floor. he ran upstairs and saw someone jump through the window. he approached the window and the person they were looking for was down there, looking to taecyeon eyes and started running.
“hey! stop!” taecyeon yelled. he jumped out and landed safely on his legs on the grass.
“lee junho! i suggest you to stop or i’ll shoot you on the leg!” taecyeon yelled again.
but, the boy kept running fast. taecyeon pulled out his gun and stopped chasing the fugitive.
a bang and screams were heard at almost the same time. he saw the fugitive fall down and taecyeon immediately handcuffed junho’s hands.
“fuck…” junho cursed through his gritted teeth.
“you really have many layered verdicts, lee junho.” taecyeon panted, “and i’m sure you’ll be regretting it later in your jail…”
“hmm…” wooyoung hummed, tapping his chin, “this kikwang surely has a little sentence. impeding investigation is sentence to a year. and this lee junho has layered verdicts of killing a life, robbery, not cooperating and complicating investigation. he maybe will be sentenced life.”
wooyoung and nichkhun were watching the investigation taecyeon was doing behind the one way mirror to junho and guessing the verdicts the ex-fugitive would get.
“it’s still too light, i think.” nichkhun sighed, “maybe this guy will be sentenced to be executed.”
wooyoung whistled, “how bad…”
on the other side, taecyeon had sighed for many times since the boy in front of him not wanting to cooperate.
“junho,” taecyeon rubbed his temple, “you’re making this difficult.”
“i’ve told you everything!” junho insisted, “i killed her because she was a slut! and i didn’t like it! she was my girlfriend after all!”
“you’re lying, right?” taecyeon sighed, again, “tell me your motive! come on! it’s not just that!”
taecyeon slammed his fist onto the table, he could see the fear in junho’s eyes, but the boy didn’t give up.
“okay. you’re the one who has chosen this. your verdicts are many already, and you chose to make it more. you don’t want to cooperate.” taecyeon eyed the boy and continued, “maybe, your sentence will be jailed for the rest of your life, or maybe death.”
taecyeon now could see the fear in junho’s eyes clearly. but, the boy still kept his mouth shut. so, taecyeon didn’t have any choice, he left the boy for a while and approached wooyoung and nichkhun in guarding room.
“damn…” nichkhun sighed, “maybe, he didn’t tell us about his motive because he has something more than a killing…”
taecyeon palmed his face and remembered what junsu had said earlier,
‘listen, officer. underground doesn’t only contain the mafias, but also the dealers, killers, and many lawbreakers. you might have caught many suspects, but it’s not all. it’s not even a half of underground. here, under the seoul’s heartbeat, there are so many crimes you don’t know. got it?’
taecyeon opened his eyes and sighed, “this may have something with the underground junsu said…”
wooyoung and nichkhun exchanged gazes and shrugged.
“i don’t know.” wooyoung replied, “we don’t even have any idea what kind of organization that is.”
“or even maybe it’s a cult organization?” nichkhun added.
“i don’t know…” taecyeon opened the door again and looked at the boy in the investigation room then to both wooyoung and nichkhun, “but, i’ll find the answer.”
