From a deserted island with murderous intent

Chapter 3. The Vanished Man (3)

The next day, around noon, I visited Seungcheol Sports Plaza again.

I went into the cafe on the first floor, ordered lemon tea, and called Joohyun.

She said she would be back soon, but she actually showed up in less than five minutes.

지훈

"I'm sorry to bother you with this."

As soon as Joohyun sat down on the chair, I bowed my head slightly.

Before coming here, I asked for a list of people who had participated in last year's yacht trip.

Because I thought I could trust Joohyun since he wasn't working here yet last year at this time.

주현

"No. It wasn't that difficult."

주현

"It's just a matter of printing out the data on the computer."

주현

"But why do you need this information?"

Mr. Joohyun, just like when we met before, smiled and placed the paper he had just printed on the table.

지훈

"I plan to use this as material for my next novel."

지훈

"That's why I want to hear directly from those who have been involved in accidents, if possible."

주현

"okay."

주현

"It must be hard to keep thinking about the plot of a novel."

지훈

"It's really hard."

He smiled bitterly and reached out to the paper on the table.

There were 11 names and addresses written on it.

At the top was Choi Seung-cheol's name, and below that was Oh Yeon-seo's wife and Yumi's name.

지훈

"If Yumi is visually impaired..."

Joohyun nodded vigorously to my question.

주현

"The boss's training policy is to never give special treatment."

주현

"He said that even if you can't see the sea, just seeing it is worth it."

지훈

"That could be true."

I continued to look through the list.

Seolgi and Jisoo's names were also there.

I also saw a woman's name, Kim Ye-rim, that I had seen in a newspaper article.

In addition, the names of CEO Choi Seung-cheol's secretary, Yoon Jeong-han, and fitness instructor Han Sol were also included.

지훈

"Your secretary went with you too?"

주현

"Yes. Mr. Jeonghan's mother is the president's wife's older sister."

주현

"The family gets along well with each other."

So, that means he is CEO Choi Seung-cheol's nephew.

지훈

"There's a name here called Kim Min-gyu, and it looks like he also works here."

Next to the name Kim Min-gyu were parentheses, and the word 'employee' was written there.

주현

"Oh, yes."

주현

"He's someone who does equipment maintenance and other small tasks..."

I wondered if Taemun's behavior seemed strange to him because Joohyun trailed off.

지훈

"Is this person related to CEO Choi Seung-cheol?"

주현

"No, that's not true."

주현

"I'm just an employee."

지훈

"okay."

I nodded, thinking that if it wasn't related to the president, he might have a lot to say.

지훈

"I'd like to hear from this person. Can we meet right away?"

주현

"Now?"

지훈

"Yes. I have something to ask."

Joohyun hesitated for a moment and then said, "Okay, just wait a moment," and stood up.

Then I went to the counter and spoke to someone on the phone there.

After talking for a few minutes, he finally came back with a smile.

주현

"He'll be here soon."

지훈

"thank you."

A few minutes later, a tall man wearing short-sleeved overalls appeared.

I've seen it.

This is the man who called Joo-Hyeon over to talk to us during a recent tour of the center, and kept spying on us for a while after that.

I had a bad feeling about this, but I couldn't back out like this.

Min-gyu sat down next to Joo-hyun, hesitating a little.

And he stared at the business card I handed him for a long, obsessive moment.

Looking at those eyes, I realized that the other person was surprisingly young.

지훈

"This is a sudden question, but Mr. Min-gyu, did you participate in the yacht trip last year?"

민규

"yes."

It was a voice so low that it made my heart sink.

민규

"Why are you curious about that?"

지훈

"Did you have an accident?"

민규

"......yes."

A look of visibly embarrassed appeared on Min-gyu's face.

지훈

"I heard that the ship sank due to bad weather."

민규

"Yes."

지훈

“Didn’t you check the weather in advance?”

민규

"I knew it was going to be a bit rough, but everyone said let's go."

민규

"To the boss."

It was a tone that everyone agreed with.

지훈

"What's your itinerary?"

I'll change it to one serial every two days from now on...

After entering middle school, I started to write 1500 characters per piece, and if the piece is short, I wrote two pieces...

Even if I split it into parts, it seems like it would take more than 50 minutes...

I'm sorryㅠ

Should I delete this?
