From a deserted island with murderous intent
Chapter 2. Sports Plaza (8)
The next day, I went to the publishing company where Jun-hwi worked.
It was to meet the editor named Seo Myeong-ho, whom I met at the funeral.
Of course, it was Jun-Hwi who made the promise to meet.
We met in the publisher's lobby and the three of us went into a nearby cafe together.
지훈
"It's about Jisoo."
Mr. Myeongho stopped lifting the coffee cup to his lips and opened his eyes wide.
지훈
"Tell me a little about him."
명호
"But I don't know the details either."
명호
"I was in charge of Seolgi, not Jisoo."
준휘
"Just tell me what you know."
Jun-hwi intervened from the side.
It was Jun-hwi who first brought up the idea of meeting Mr. Myeong-ho.
According to what I checked after talking to Jun-hwi yesterday, none of my belongings were missing.
The bankbook and the small amount of cash were still there.
The only trace of the intruder was on that box.
지훈
"You probably didn't think I'd even remember the packaging."
지훈
"Even so, I have quite a good eye."
I told Jun-Hwi about noticing the change in the box.
준휘
"You're so cool!"
Jun-hwi also clapped his hands in admiration.
준휘
"So, the culprit's goal was the contents of the box."
준휘
"But do you have any idea?"
지훈
"There is one."
When I found out that Seolgi's data had been messed with by someone, the first thing that came to mind was Jisoo, who had called just before.
The man who had so desperately asked me to see the materials the day before suddenly called and said he no longer needed them.
It was natural to feel that something was strange.
준휘
"So you're saying that guy stole it?"
Jun-hwi had a surprised expression on his face.
지훈
"Of course, I can't be sure."
지훈
"But that man's behavior was strange from the beginning."
지훈
"He got his hands on that material and even went out of his way to help me move..."
준휘
"But I promised to get the information from you."
준휘
"But is it really necessary to steal it?"
지훈
"If you think about it deeply, that's true."
I hesitated for a moment and then said:
지훈
"If that information is something that should never be shown to anyone else, wouldn't you think you should steal it secretly?"
준휘
"Something you should never show to others?"
Jun-hwi repeated what I had said, thought for a moment, and then opened his eyes wide.
준휘
"Do you suspect that man killed Seolgi?"
지훈
"I'm very suspicious."
I said it bluntly.
지훈
"If my hypothesis is correct, it is entirely possible that Seol-gi, who discovered her secret, would be killed."
준휘
"Thinking like that..."
Jun-hui crossed his arms and looked inside the box again.
준휘
"But there are two problems with the deduction that the man came in hiding."
준휘
"One is, how did you know I was leaving the house this afternoon?"
준휘
"And another thing is how did you get into the house?"
준휘
"You must have locked the door properly, right?"
지훈
"of course."
준휘
"Then we need to resolve that question first."
준휘
"But it wouldn't be a bad idea to do some more research on Jisoo."
지훈
"how?"
준휘
"Don't worry about that."
At that time, Myungho's name came up.
