Chapter 57 - Something Unexpected
See you soon? What did he mean? It might not have any other meaning than that he might be called several more times during the investigation, but Soo Min, watching this man, couldn't help but feel strange. While Hyun Woo was pretty sure Seo In Sung was the "Cherry Blossom Reaper", Soo Min was more suspicious of Choi Hyun Sik or Kim Young Chul. Seo In Sung's assurances of his innocence seemed more credible to her than anything Ye Eun's older brother or Young Chul had said.
- Sunbae!- Hyun Woo snapped her out of her thoughts, walking closer.- It's interesting that both Seo In Sung and Kim Young Chul were possibly able to use Kim Hyun Jung's car. So good that our technicians are already checking it.- he added.- Hopefully we'll finally find some good evidence. And then we'll have to talk to Kim Hyun Jung again.- replied Soo Min, then she patted him lightly on the shoulder and motioned for them to go to their Section's office.~~~~~~The next day, in the morning, a tRelated chapters
Blossom Tears Chapter 58 - Waiting
Another interrogation of Kim Hyun Jung was conducted by Hyun Woo. Soo Min wanted to give him a chance to learn about this element of work in practice, not just by observation. She chose this particular interrogation because it was less important. Hyun Woo did very well, but nothing helpful came out of the conversation with Kim Hyun Jung. He barely knew Young Chul - his name meant nothing to him, but he did recognized the face when saw his picture. Hyun Jung confirmed that he only saw him once in his life and couldn't remember where, which kind of confirmed that he must have been quite drunk while meeting him at the bar. So it was doubtful that Young Chul would be able to use his car, unless of course Hyun Jung was lying. However, Hyun Woo and also Soo Min, who was watching everything from the next room through the semi-transparent mirror this time, agreed that Kim Hyun Jung didn't look like he was lying. But of course, they could not completely rule out this version, after all, ther
Blossom Tears Chapter 59 - The Call
Soo Min waited impatiently for the results of Seo In Sung's autopsy and kept going to the appropriate Section every now and then to be there when the results came. Hyun Woo was sitting alone in their Section office when he received a call from Jang Chang Ho.- Detective Jung Hyun Woo?- he heard his voice in the receiver.- Yes, that's right.- Hyun Woo replied.- Should I notify detective Kim about your call?- he asked later.- No need, I'd rather you take care of what I have to tell you.- Jang Chang Ho replied quickly.- Because this case has to do with Gwangju, and as far as I know, you worked there, right? So it will be easier for you to check it, detective Jung.- he explained in more detail.- Okay, continue then Jang Chang Ho-ssi.- Hyun Woo replied, clearly intrigued by what this young man had to say.- This whole case of "Cherry Blossom Reaper" keep on bothering me, so I started to rummage a little bit in the history of Choi's family because I know that t
Blossom Tears Chapter 60 - Kim Mi Young
( *Halmeoni - literally grandmother, used also as a polite way of addressing any elderly woman. )Hyun Woo found the right address without any problems. The building in which this woman was renting the apartment was located in another Seoul neighborhood, Mapo, near Mangwon Station Exit 2. Her apartment was on the roof of the building and looked very modest from the outside. Hyun Woo knocked on the door and heard footsteps very quickly. The door opened slightly, held slightly by a chain. There was a little bit of a wrinkled face peeking out with one shapely black eye with a double eyelid, in which one could clearly see the enormous fatigue. The woman's hair was already gray.- Who's there?- asked a high, slightly screeching voice.- Hello, halmeoni*. My name is Jung Hyun Woo, I am a detective from Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency, Investigation Department, Violent Crime Section.- Hyun Woo introduced himself, showing her his badge.- I got a m
Blossom Tears Chapter 61 - Discovering the Truth
- What did he do?!- Soo Min yelled when Han Eul started giving her a message from Hyun Woo.- What is he thinking?! We have a difficult case to solve, this is not the time to take care of private matters!- she slapped her hand on the colleague's desk, piercing him with her eyes. She couldn't believe that Hyun Woo might have been so irresponsible as to leave her alone with the "Cherry Blossom Reaper" case at a point like this because of some private matter.- I tried to reason with him, sunbae...- Han Eul began speaking again, clearly terrified by her outburst. He had never seen her like this before, although she could be malicious, but never so aggressive.- Shut up.- Soo Min growled at him, then turned and walked over to her desk, taking phone from it. She took a few deep breaths so that could efficiently find his phone number. When Soo Min succeeded, called without hesitation, but she heard in the receiver that the owner of the number was unavailable at the moment. Blood
Blossom Tears Chapter 62 - Encounter With Devil
Soo Min, having learned that Hyun Woo not only left her to settle some private matter, but also took their police station car. She was pissed at him because had to explain the lack of the car to the Chief Kim and didn't know why, but she made up an excuse. Perhaps because Soo Min wanted to punish Hyun Woo as she wanted? Or maybe because of his great work so far, she wanted to give him a chance to come back and explain himself? Anyway, Soo Min saved his ass and hoped Hyun Woo had good reason to do what he did. When Soo Min calmed down a bit and thought about it carefully, she even came to the conclusion that it was impossible for Hyun Woo to act so irresponsibly. He must have had a good reason for sure.After finishing work, Soo Min left the police station and tried to call Hyun Woo again, but with the same effect as before. Where was he at this time? Soo Min put the phone in the pants pocket, found her car in the parking lot, got into it, fastened her seat belt and started the en
Blossom Tears Chapter 63 - The Disappearance
Hyun Woo sat in the car in the parking lot, dialing Soo Min a third time. The first and second time no one answered, and soon also the third time.- Is she really so angry with me that doesn't answer the phone?- he asked himself, staring at the phone screen. All in all, he should have expected it. Soo Min was certainly disappointed that he had shown such irresponsibility and left her alone while they had such an important investigation to deal with. But Hyun Woo felt that what he had learned in Gwangju was very important and he couldn't ignore this feeling.After a while he decided to text her on KakaoTalk, hoping she would at least read the message."Sunbae, I'm sorry to disappear like that, but I assure you I had a good reason. I'll explain it when we meet tomorrow at the police station." he wrote and put the phone in his trouser pocket, ready to start the car's engine.Hyun Woo set off, left the parking lot in front of the Gwangju Police Station and only manag
Blossom Tears Chapter 64 - Cherry Blossom Reaper
- Choi Hyun Sik...- she said softly, a slight smile appeared on his face.- Detective Kim, how nice it is to hear my name coming out of your mouth, and spoken like this.- he said in a very relaxed voice. It sounded strange, unnatural, especially after Soo Min's previous conversations with him. At this point, he did not look like an introvert at all.- And as it's better give up formal language, let me call you Soo Min, okay?- he asked and walked closer to her bed. Then Hyun Sik bent slightly over Soo Min and ran his hand over her cheek with an expression on his face as if this small gesture alone gave him a lot of pleasure.- So you are really the "Cherry Blossom Reaper"...- Soo Min spoke to him in a tone full of accusation.Her words changed the expression on his face within seconds, but there was no point in finding anger or indignation on it. His face turned to stone, completely expressionless.- I don't really like this nickname.- Hyun Sik finally said.- Peopl
Blossom Tears Chapter 65 - His Secret
At her words Hyun Sik's face lit up even more and he walked away from the bed where Soo Min was lying, towards the metal door. He revealed the keyboard, but quickly covered it with his whole body before he started typing the code. You can see that Hyun Sik was very careful, which did not surprise Soo Min. She couldn't forget that he was, after all, the "Cherry Blossom Reaper", the same one who was so brilliantly able to cover his tracks and planned each kidnapping with precision down to the smallest detail.When the sound of the lock was heard, Hyun Sik pulled hard on the handle, unlocking the massive metal door. She was immediately struck by the tremendous chill of this room that really reminded her of a morgue. But as the door was opened completely, Soo Min saw a sight much more terrifying than the morgue.In the center of the room was a slightly frosted couch, with human-sized dolls perched on top of it, or so it seemed at first glance. They were sitting side by side, o
