In the meantime, information came from Nam Dong Sun's parents confirming his alibi. This man was really well controlled by them, they knew exactly his every step and the whole schedule of the day. Soo Min was impressed that this pair of surgeons, who were Dung Sun parents, with a lot of work at the hospital always had time to monitor their son. It is true that they used the help of third parties, but their control was still impressive. All in all, no wonder, they certainly didn't want their son to get into any more trouble, as with stalking Choi Ye Eun.
As for Yeon Jong Pil, his alibi was also quite strong. The owner of the bar saw him drinking at her place and leaving in the very late evening, however, he was so drunk that she was afraid if he could get home, let alone drive to Seoul to kidnap someone. The footage from cameras near the bar confirmed the woman's words, Jong Pil was far too drunk to kidnap Ye Eun. Recordings from the same cameras, made on the days when other vicSoo Min and Hyun Woo left the Section office to greet the guests in the lobby and lead them towards the interrogation room.- First, I'll invite CEO Choi inside.- Soo Min announced when they arrived at the door to the room.- Choi Hyun Sik-ssi, please sit down and wait. Hyun Woo, keep him a company, ok?- she asked her partner and he nodded in agreement, sitting down a short distance from Choi Hyun Sik. Hyun Woo was sitting very freely, but young Master Choi was clearly very tense, playing with the corner of his jacket.- Don't worry, we won't be here for long.- Mr Choi turned to his son and patted him lightly on the shoulder, then walked with Soo Min into the interrogation room, sitting down at the table without delay.- So we see each other again, CEO Choi.- Soo Min said, sitting down opposite him with a paper folder in her hand.- Indeed.- replied Mr. Choi, looking at her carefully.- I thought I told you everything, but it turns out that it wasn't enough.- he si
Choi Hyun Sik entered the room, clearly tense and at first unable to look up. As he sat down in the chair, his gaze wandered first across the room, then across the table top, and only then to Soo Min.- Hello once again, Choi Hyun Sik-ssi.- she spoke first, seeing how nervous he seemed.- Please don't be so nervous, I just have a few questions. It won't take long.- Soo Min assured, looking at him gently.- First of all, I'd like to apologize for my father.- Hyun Sik suddenly said. Soo Min looked at him in surprise, because these were not the words she had expected to hear at the beginning.- I'm talking about the mess with the search of my summer home in Gwangju…- he explained quickly.- If it were entirely up to me, I would have agreed to a search without any warrant. I have absolutely nothing to hide, and I understand that you are only doing your job. I'd rather you do a search, find out about my innocence, and we'd be over it. But unfortunately I have to take my fat
- Specifically about how well you knew other victims of the "Cherry Blossom Reaper"- Soo Min added at the end.- I'll start with Lee Eun Jung, since she often participated in the shows of our collections, her photos were also found on our banners, catalogs or on the website. That's why I knew her quite well, she was a very nice girl and a professional model.- Hyun Sik said, clearly thoughtful.- As for her younger friends from Seo In Sung's modeling agency, Kim Min Hee and Joon Hwa Young, they were just starting their career and theoretically were supposed to represent our brand during several sessions and shows, but I managed to meet them only once and take their sizes. Then I found out that they were missing and I must admit that it struck me mainly because we had to change models that had completely different sizes and I had to remake our outfits. Of course, their disappearance was a tragedy, they seemed to be nice girls with big dreams, but I didn't know them well enough to
They reached the door almost simultaneously, which seemed strange, after all Hyun Sik was sitting closer to the door. But in any case, they stood right next to each other and their hands grabbed the door handle almost at the same time, which of course resulted in Soo Min putting her hand on Hyun Sik's. He looked at her, slightly surprised, as if he had been struck by lightning. She also saw clearly his ears turning red. Soo Min felt her heart speed up slightly too, but when she took her hand away everything was back to normal.- Allow me, detective Kim. Lady's first.- he spoke in a very gentle tone, almost a whisper, and it sounded so sensual that a slight shiver passed down Soo Min's spine. When he opened the door for her, she pressed a paper folder lightly to her chest and walked quickly to the hallway, trying to put her face in order, after all Hyun Woo was sitting in the waiting room, and he seemed to notice even the slightest changes on her face, and she did not want to he
Next day CEO Choi send documents regarding the artificial cherry blossoms purchase and usage, where it has been stated that the leftovers have been placed in the fashion house's warehouse where surplus materials or unsold batches of clothes were sent. No one but Mr Choi, his wife and secretary Lee had access to this warehouse. Also, each collection of materials from this warehouse was recorded and the documentation did not indicate that any bigger amount of artificial cherry blossoms were lost. These were recently used in other creations made by Madam Lee and Hyun Sik, but they never took large amounts of this material. But still, Soo Min wanted to get a search warrant for this warehouse as well. She had to make sure that the documents corresponded to the actual state. She also found it important to contact secretary Lee, that's why soon sent him a summon for questioning, same for Seo In Sung's former assistant Kim Hyun Jung. She couldn't reach him through his phone number, but the
The following day Lee Yo Sub, CEO Choi's secretary, appeared at the police station as requested. He was quite tall, but slightly shorter than Hyun Woo, well-built man with broad shoulders, brown hair and eyes. It was also evident that secretary Lee was muscular despite the black suit he was wearing. The open blazer showed how his white shirt was quite tight and one could kind of see he probably had a six-pack. His body shape resembled something between detective's Joo Chan and Sang Kyu from Violent Crime Section. Anyways, it was evident that he liked hitting the gym as much as those two, maybe even more. Lee Yo Sub was 32 years old, a bachelor who rather avoided women even tough he was quite popular which didn't surprise Soo Min, this man was handsome and well-built which made him a very attractive person, but he wanted to concentrate fully on his work for CEO Choi Young Sik and fashion house. Secretary Lee was extremely loyal to the whole Choi family and took his work very seriousl
After the weekend that Soo Min spent with her parents and Hyun Woo visiting his mother in Gwangju, they went back to their duties on Monday. Kim Hyun Jung, Seo In Sung's former assistant, was due to report to the police station that day. From the information they received from the post office, he received a summon for questioning so it could be assumed that he would appear on time. In fact, about five minutes early, a man of medium height with black short hair and a plain gray sweatshirt, light jeans and and in blue sneakers showed up at the police station. He introduced himself as Kim Hyun Jung, so Soo Min and Hyun Woo were notified immediately, and appeared quickly in the lobby. They noticed up close that the man had gray eyes and looked about 40 years old, which would be consistent with the description, because according to Kim Hyun Jung's documents he was 43 years old, had a wife, whom he divorced while was still working in a modeling agency, and two children who lived with thei
Kim Dong Min was a 24 years old man, quite short in height, and very slim, he had black hair slightly covering his neck, with fringe delicately falling over his right eye, which in turn had a unique dark blue color. His facial features looked slightly mixed, which only confirmed that one of his parents was not Korean. Dong Min loved wearing stretched tracksuits, old jeans and sneakers, he didn't like having to wear a shirt for more formal meetings at work, and hated suits. He almost always covered his face with a mask when he went outside. During his childhood, Dong Min was teased by many because of his mixed appearance, although he was generally quite handsome, but did not like to show his face because of it. It also helped him stay as anonymous as possible wherever he was, which in turn suited him because in the underground Dong Min was known as V01D (Void), a genius hacker. And of course, he offered his services to anyone who was willing to pay a good price, but never took jobs t
