XX/XX/20XX.

The current time is 8:40 AM.

It was morning, but it was too bright and sunny for summer.

On a morning like this, when only good things will happen and you feel like you should go out and play...

'An accident happened.'

A typical morning meeting.

When it was time for class, the homeroom teacher came into the classroom as usual.

Bam, bang -

담임 선생님

(Smiles) Good morning, is anyone here yet?

친구1

Teacher, Han Song-ju isn't here.

담임 선생님

Songju?

담임 선생님

I guess I'm late because of the Songju bus.

담임 선생님

First of all, since it hasn't even been 50 minutes, let's wait for 10 minutes.

담임 선생님

Anyone who can contact Song Joo-rang is asked to come to the teacher's office as soon as they get home.

After the homeroom teacher finished the morning assembly without any problems, he left the classroom, and Han Song-ju's close classmates sent her DMs and waited for her to come to school.

However, Han Song-ju did not come to school even though the first period had started, and did not look at a single DM sent by her classmates.

The homeroom teacher calls Han Song-ju, who has not yet come to school.

No matter how many times I call, he doesn't answer.

Smart -

담임 선생님

I'm sorry, teacher.

담임 선생님

One of my class students hasn't arrived yet.

교과 선생님

Oh, yes yes.

The teacher for the subject in question left the classroom for a moment to wait for the situation to be resolved, and the homeroom teacher went into the classroom to try to resolve the situation.

담임 선생님

Anyone contacted Song Joo-rang today?

모두

...

담임 선생님

Is there anyone?

담임 선생님

..okay,

담임 선생님

You guys, listen carefully in class.

So the homeroom teacher came out of the classroom and immediately called Han Song-ju's mother.

한송주 어머니

'hello?'

담임 선생님

'Hello, Mother.'

담임 선생님

'I am Songju's homeroom teacher.'

한송주 어머니

'Yes, yes, teacher.'

한송주 어머니

'But why are you calling,'

담임 선생님

'That mother,'

담임 선생님

'Is Songju sick today?'

한송주 어머니

(embarrassed) 'Huh?..'

한송주 어머니

'What do you mean?...'

담임 선생님

'Songju hasn't come to school yet, so I was worried she might be sick.'

담임 선생님

'And if you can't come or are late, always contact me...'

담임 선생님

'Could your mother possibly contact Songju directly?'

한송주 어머니

'Of course, sir.'

한송주 어머니

'I'll contact Song Joo-rang and get back to you.'

한송주 어머니

'And I'm sorry, sir.'

한송주 어머니

'You must be busy, but because of Songju...'

담임 선생님

'Oh, no.'

담임 선생님

'I'm fine, so please try contacting Song Joo and get back to me.'

담임 선생님

'I'll contact you as soon as I get to Songju.'

After the phone call between the homeroom teacher and Han Song-ju's mother was disconnected.

Not long after, Han Song-ju's mother contacted her again, but she said she couldn't contact Han Song-ju either.

So, the homeroom teacher waited for Han Song-ju to come to school as soon as possible without taking any action.

However, Han Song-ju did not come to school even after the first period ended, and did not come to school even after the second and third periods passed.

The homeroom teacher knew very well that Han Song-ju was not a student who would miss school so often, so he felt something was wrong.

담임 선생님

(Songju... where the hell are you...)

담임 선생님

It won't work,

The homeroom teacher, feeling anxious, called Han Song-ju's mother again.

담임 선생님

'hello?'

한송주 어머니

'Yes, sir.'

한송주 어머니

Songju, are you at school?

담임 선생님

'No, he hasn't arrived yet...'

담임 선생님

'Mother, I'm really hesitant to say this...'

담임 선생님

Songju...

담임 선생님

'How about reporting her missing?...'

한송주 어머니

(embarrassed) 'Huh?...'

한송주 어머니

'A missing person report?...'

담임 선생님

'It really shouldn't happen, but if something bad is happening to Songju right now...'

한송주 어머니

'uh..'

한송주 어머니

'This is the first time I've heard something like this from my homeroom teacher...'

한송주 어머니

'I'm a little confused...'

담임 선생님

'I completely understand why you feel that way.'

담임 선생님

'So then...'

담임 선생님

'If only my mother would allow it, should I report it right away?'

한송주 어머니

'I hope my decision is for the good of our Songju.'

한송주 어머니

'declaration...'

한송주 어머니

'Please, sir.'

Han Song-ju's mother, with a voice that seemed to have been very worried, gave permission to report her missing, and the homeroom teacher quickly ended contact with Han Song-ju's mother and dialed 112.

담임 선생님

'hello?'

담임 선생님

'Is this a police station?'

신고 접수 경찰관

"Yes, this is the Cheonghan Police Station report reception situation room."

신고 접수 경찰관

'What's going on?'

담임 선생님

'This is Cheonghan High School, and one of the students in my class hasn't come to school yet.'

신고 접수 경찰관

'yes?'

신고 접수 경찰관

'Then what will happen to the names of the students who didn't come?'

담임 선생님

'Han Songjuyo.'

담임 선생님

'I am 18 years old and a female student.'

신고 접수 경찰관

"Have you been in contact with your parents?"

담임 선생님

"Yes, I just called the parents to explain the situation and get their permission to report."

신고 접수 경찰관

'How long has it been since you came to school?'

담임 선생님

'one...'

담임 선생님

'About 3 hours.'

담임 선생님

'He's always been a model child, so he would contact me if he was going to be late, but that wasn't the case today. My mother and I contacted him several times, but he didn't answer.'

신고 접수 경찰관

'Okay, I'll have the police dispatched.'

신고 접수 경찰관

'Just in case, let's keep this fact only known to us, the police, the homeroom teacher, and the parents.'

신고 접수 경찰관

'Because students or criminals might avoid us.'

담임 선생님

'all right.'

담임 선생님

'Then I have a favor to ask, officer.'

12:20 AM.

- Report of missing student Han Song-ju of Cheonghan High School received.

- The detectives from the 1st Violent Crimes Unit in the west and the nearby patrol cars listening to the radio are requested to go to the Serin Heights Apartment where student Han Song-ju resides.

- Let me repeat, detectives from the first strong unit within the West...

전정국

Jin-ah,

전정국

Track the last use of Han Song-ju's student card and send it to her via text message.

반진아

Yes, team leader.

Chief Inspector Ban Jin-ah of the Scientific Investigation Unit and Violent Crimes Unit 1 of Cheonghan Police Station.

And next to him is Detective Jeon Jeong-guk, the leader of the Violent Crimes Unit 1, who is preparing to go on a mission.

Detective Ban Jin-ah quickly began to search for student Han Song-ju's card details, and soon after, she was finished with them.

반진아

Detective Kang,

반진아

Please tell the team leader that I have completed checking Han Song-ju's student card details.

강하나

all right,

강하나

If you find anything strange, please report it immediately.

반진아

Yes, detective.

The detective who left the office of the Violent Crimes Unit 1 after talking with Detective Ban Jin-ah was Detective Kang Ha-na.

And it's been about 3 months since I became partners with Detective Jeon Jeong-guk.

We haven't been working together for very long, so we don't get along very well.

However, he is currently working at Cheonghan Police Station, with top-level skills among detectives in the metropolitan area.

So how will top detectives solve the missing person cases currently being reported?
