- 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 toThey 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
The footage from the cameras located nearby and in the building where Seo In Sung's apartment was in were carefully checked and it has been noted that Seo In Sung was leaving every evening in times when the victims of "Cherry Blossom Reaper" were kidnapped, which only directed even more suspicion towards him. Even Soo Min, while hesitating, more and more often found herself thinking that maybe Seo In Sung was really behind it all. The worst part was that they still couldn't find a place where he could keep the kidnapped girls. A search of his apartment and modeling agency yielded no information, and based on current knowledge, Seo In Sung had no other property where he could hold the victims in.As for Choi Hyun Sik's alibi from the days when the other girls disappeared, he was spending them at his residence in Gwangju. The security company easily made available the recordings from the camera located at the gate also from those days and, as with the previous footage from the Su
Seo In Sung has just returned home after a hard day full of work. There were some important photoshoot's coming up, a big fashion show, and of course he had to take care of everything. Sometimes In Sung was fed up with it all, but was well aware that if he didn't take care of it himself there was no guarantee that everything would turn out perfectly. In Sung had some very good employees in his agency, but none of them seemed to possess his aesthetic sense. Therefore, no matter how tired In Sung was, he had to take care of the most important elements himself. Maybe he would not be so exhausted if hadn't had the police on his head with this case of "Cherry Blossom Reaper". He hoped it would all end as soon as possible.In Sung barely had time to sit down on the couch and put the reheated dinner on the table when his phone on the counter gave a brief vibration to indicate a text message. He sighed heavily in frustration, and rose from the couch, walking back to the kitchen where h
- Hello, Kim Young Chul-ssi, and thank you for coming.- she said, looking at his emotionless face.- Please come with us.- Hyun Woo added and they walked down the hall to the interrogation room. As usual, Soo Min walked in with Young Chul, and Hyun Woo went to the next room, where another policeman was already sitting, ready to take notes of the interrogation and make sure that it was also accurately recorded by the camera.Soo Min and Young Chul sat down at the table opposite each other, and Soo Min, as usual, already had a paper folder in front of her, which she had left in the room earlier this time.- Kim Young Chul-ssi, we called you to the station because we discovered something that raises our suspicions.- she explained at the beginning, looking at him carefully.- While checking the CCTV cameras around where you live and the places you are visiting, we found some disturbing footage.- We noticed that you often go to the parks, dressed very similar to "Cherry Blo
