[Year-Round] Detective Jeon Jung-kook: "Never-ending Hide-and-Seek"

06. Clue


"Hoo..."


As soon as I arrived at work, reports poured in non-stop at the police station. I knew I was being selfish, knowing I had to focus solely on Case Y, but I ended up saying I would just take on Case Y.

None of my successors bothered me. This was because I was extremely annoyed at the time. No leads emerged from the traces and clues Y had left behind, and the situation had not improved.
