8 Hours later...
It had been 8 hours since Seojun and Minjung's meeting at the restaurant earlier this afternoon.
Now Seojun is in his room and is quoting with a laptop since 2 hours ago.
'Huh, there's only 10 hours left before news of Soojin's friend being the ninth victim of a code killer,' Inner Seojun leaned on the back of his chair and massaged his dizzy head as a result of staring at the laptop screen for a long time.
"Why can't Sunhyung even be contacted?" Mumbled Seojun stared at the screen of his phone, after Minjung said that if Sunhyung knew all about it, he immediately contacted the police hacker, but already 10 times he did not pick up his call.
"Did his phone and laptop fall into the water? Not picking up calls or replying to messages from me," said Seojun starting to get upset himself.
Suddenly the room was quiet, quiet, quiet, and filled only by the sound of a laptop keyboard and the sound of the room owner turned crowded when the door was opened violently by Soojin to cause the papers on the table Seojun flitted everywhere, even the owner of the room was shocked and almost threw the phone he was holding.
Soojin walks up to Seojun's desk with a panicked look of face ignoring the results of her behavior.
"Oppa, is it true that Yejun is being held captive by Cheon Youngsik?!" Ask Soojin.
2 hours ago he contacted Soojin and told her this, after hearing that Soojin immediately solved the case he was handling and then went straight to Seojun's place.
"Nee, I've checked, and it's true that he's a barcode offender." Reply Seojun.
3 Hours after meeting Minjung, Seojun went straight to the hospital to look for Cheon Youngsik, and sure enough, he was in the hospital to treat the patients he had asked to handle. Just like Sunhyung, Seojun attached a camera to Youngsik's shirt to watch him.
About 30 minutes ago before Soojin arrived, Seojun checked the camera, and it turned out that Youngsik was in the room where he kept Yejun.
"Do you know where he keeps Yejun?" Ask Soojin.
Seojun shook his head softly, "Aniyo, even though I've seen her place through the surveillance cameras, I still can't confirm where it is." Reply Seojun.
"Can't you track him?"
"I've tried, but like his place it can't be traced. I've also contacted Sunhyung, but he didn't pick up the call or read my message." Seojun.
"Geez, how is this?!" Soojin muttered started to pacing around.
"Calm down, if we can find him before 11 tomorrow afternoon, then we can be sure he'll be safe." Said Seojun trying to calm the teenager in front of him who he already considered his own sister.
Hyejin suddenly entered the room.
"Eh? What's going on?" Hyejin asked surprised at the messy state of the room with paper where.
"Soojin did it, she panicked after I told her that her friend had disappeared in the chaff by a barcode offender." Reply Seojun.
"Eh?! You mean the bar code abductors Yejun?!" Shocked Hyejin. And Seojun nodded in response.
"I'll try to contact Sunhyung" Soojin said.
When he wanted to call Sunhyung, suddenly a call from the person himself entered his phone.
"Sunhyung?" Soojin muttered softly, but could still be heard by Seojun and Hyejin.
Soojin picked up the call, though,
📞📱: "Yeo-"
📞📱: "How do you feel after knowing who the perpetrator who killed your parents was?" It was not Sunhyung's voice that was telling, but the voice of the person who had been a police fugitive all this time.
📞📱: "Cheon Youngsik?!" Soojin stared at Seojun and Hyejin, then Hyejin gave the code to use the speakers. Soojin turned on her speakers.
📞📱: "How are you-"
📞📱: "Get this phone? If I told you that he himself made it in this state, how?"
📞📱: "Can you to the point?!" Soojin's reply began to get upset.
📞📱: "She'll give you 48 hours like the others, oh yeah, I gave a gift to you Jung Soojin, in, 3,2,1."
Coinciding with Youngsik finishing the countdown, the phone on Seojun's desk got a call.
'Emergency call 119'.
Seojun, Hyejin and Soojin throw one another a glance.
'Yeoboseo?'
"What's the problem?"
'I found someone who had died in the garden of Hera.'
Hearing that the three policemen felt a little tense, the call connecting them with Youngsik was still connected.
"Is there... A barcode-like mark on the back of his hand?"
'Y-yes,'
"What do the victims look like?"
'He's a man, and he looks like a high school student,'
The three of them started to worry.
"Arraseo, you stay there, wait until the police arrive."
'okay.'
The call ended, Seojun told the police and forensic team to come to the location. Then the three policemen switched on the call on Soojin's phone.
📞📱: "What does all this mean?" Ask Hyejin.
📞📱: "Watch a gift from me after you know the truth."
📞📱: "Do you consider someone's life as a toy?!" Snapped Soojin.
📞📱: "I won't be serving you now, if I want to wait for the next sad news also doesn't matter."
📞📱: "You---"
Not yet able to Soojin continue his words the call was turned off unilaterally.
Soojin dropped her seat behind her.
"There should be another 10 hours, how could he possibly kill the next victim first?" Seojun.
"Can there be a little explanation?!" Hyejin.
...⋇⋆✦⋆⋇ ...
Sunhyung.
Now he was sitting in the same position as Yejun. Staring annoyed at the person who plays a serial killer who has been targeted by the police all this time.
"What advantage have you made me your next victim after killing Yejun?" Sahut Sunhyung looked at Youngsik who was sitting opposite to him.
Youngsik looked at Sunhyung's mobile phone he held, about 2 minutes ago he turned off his call on Soojin.
"There's certainly an advantage, though not as much as I killed all the eyewitnesses, killing one of them might not be a problem, either," Reply Youngsik stood up from his seat and picked up the same book he had given Yejun.
"I'm sure you know what to do, don't you?" Youngsik said he put the book and pen on the table right in front of Sunhyung.
"And you haven't given an answer to Yejun's question about the brief reason you made yourself kill an innocent man." Reply Sunhyung.
"You really look like that high school kid, which I hear you say very rarely, but it's like it's inversely proportional to that rumor." Youngsik.
"What exactly is your plan?" Ask Sunhyung by pressing each sentence.
"If I told you it wouldn't be exciting anymore wouldn't it?" Reply Youngsik.
Sunhyung looked resentfully at Youngsik.
"Time to write it, I also want to see if you can hold on until I kill you or not." Youngsik then walked out of the room.
"What do you mean?" Pekik Sunhyung before the barrier wall closed.
"The poison on your body has reacted, and I've made sure that you won't last two days, maybe before I kill you you you've been killed first." Reply Youngsik smiled obliquely. Then the walls closed.
Sunhyung looked down at the book and pen that Youngsik had given him.
'It should be now that Seojun hyung and the others have got that information, ' Inner Sunhyung. Then he sighed, 'Submit the rest to you, Ham Minjung, you're the only one I can count on right now...'
