Special Investigation Team BTS 2

EP 08. The Murder of a Member of the National Assembly (2)

As Jimin's single word drew everyone's attention, his wife suddenly buried her face in her hands and burst into tears.

Jimin swept back his bangs, as if he was getting angrier at the sight, and Jungkook, who had been slapped on the cheek, wiped away the blood running down his chin with a stern expression.

"Hey, over there."

"…yes?"

"Put the camera away."

At the sound of the female protagonist's voice echoing through the quiet space, Ho-seok, who was standing next to the reporter, quickly lowered his camera.

He winked at other reporters, asking if they were going to clean up the other side too, and the reporters, frightened by his momentum, lowered their cameras one by one.

Judging by their journalistic background, they knew they were screwed if they went any further.

The heroine slowly walked forward only after confirming that all the cameras were down.

One step, two steps. The closer I got to the woman between Jungkook and Jimin, the louder her sobs became.

"Ugh, huff…. How… How could you do this to me, ugh…."

연여주

"Hey."

“Ugh… I, I lived so hard….”

연여주

"auntie."

The head that seemed like it wouldn't hear no matter how much I called suddenly lifted at the word 'Ma'am'.

“What, what…? Auntie…?!?!”

When I raised my head, I was finally able to see the face of the woman who was the wife of a member of the National Assembly.

When I looked straight into her eyes, there were no traces of tears, only a venomous gaze fixed on her.

And once again, when the wife got up from her seat and called the heroine,

Taaak–!!

The woman's head turned.

"Huh, huh, huh, huh, what the heck is this…!!!!!"

A loud noise that couldn't even compare to what Jeongguk had heard.

Jeongguk merely turned his head, but his wife didn't. She was lying face down on her right side, hunched over, as if bowing. To the female protagonist, it looked… well-suited.

The wife was so surprised that she couldn't even cover her cheek and just kept her mouth shut. Instead, the secretary next to her got angry and started swearing at her instead.

Of course, the female protagonist only scratched her eyebrows indifferently.

"Uh, well... this is my first time hitting someone with my palm. Does it hurt a lot?"

"What the heck, there's this bitch!!!! Hey, cops!!! Take this girl away quickly!!! This is clearly assault, assault!!!"

Despite the secretary's shouts to quickly arrest him, the surrounding police officers remained motionless. No, acting rashly in this place, where the Special Investigation Team members emanated a murderous aura, was tantamount to suicide.

Meanwhile, the female protagonist, who said it was her first time being hit with the palm of her hand, remained calm. She'd always hit faces with her fist, her foot, and occasionally her knee, but this was a first for her.

Do civilians usually hit with their palms? I just watched my wife's actions closely and copied her actions without thinking.

전정국

“…Ugh.”

연여주

"…?"

전정국

“Phew… Ah, I shouldn’t be laughing here.”

Contrary to his words, Jeongguk held his stomach, bent over, and laughed heartily. His laughter filled the quiet space.

전정국

"You're not the heroine. Yes, you weren't the heroine."

김태형

"……."

Jungkook kept laughing, tears welling up in the corners of his eyes, repeating, "You're not the heroine, you're not the heroine."

Taehyung's eyes wavered as he watched her. Seeing Yeon Yeo-ju's actions, he finally saw reality. She wasn't... Kim Yeo-ju.

If it were Kim Yeo-ju, she would have seen the opportunity and then said something later, but Yeon Yeo-ju was different. She acted immediately, as if she didn't even have time to look for an opportunity.

An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. That was Yeonyeoju.

Once the chaos was over and Seokjin personally stepped in to control the reporters, the building was quickly left with only the relevant people.

I wanted to say, "If it was going to be like this, then you should have stepped forward and done it from the beginning," but I couldn't bring myself to say it out loud.

Even the female protagonist, who was rumored to be terrifying simply by exuding life within the organization, felt that Seokjin's murderous energy was similar to that of her boss when he was still alive. The saying that appearances are deceptive was meant for Seokjin.

After the surroundings cleared a bit, I saw my wife, still in a daze, and the congressman's secretary standing next to her. Feeling sorry for her, I handed her a cold water bottle.

연여주

"ruler."

"Wh, what, what, what!!!"

연여주

"Women, your face is so precious. Take good care of it."

The woman who received the water bottle from the heroine glared at her with a look that said, "Aren't you a woman?" But the heroine said nothing and left. Her feelings of pity were over. It was time to get back to work.

김석진

"The victim, Congressman Kim Hyun-woong, was murdered... about an hour ago. He was on the same floor as his secretary, and he was murdered while he was briefly in the bathroom."

정호석

"We should consider the executive secretary as one of the suspects. It's most likely that the executive secretary committed the murder."

김남준

"The congressman's wife, that means the wife should be included. They were in this building together. The wife was on the second floor, and the secretary and the victim were on the third. There's enough time to get up and down quickly."

Naturally, the title of Kim Hyun-joong changed from "Congressman" to "victim." Kim Hyun-joong was no longer a congressman or someone's father, but a victim of a murder case.

민윤기

"What did the bodyguard do other than protect the victim? Did he just take the money?"

전정국

"Probably when… when we first got here? When all the bodyguards were blocking us."

김남준

"That's right. Time-wise, it's right after we return to the police station."

The woman, who had been quietly listening to their conversation, rested her chin on her hand and pondered deeply. In her mind, the most likely candidate was the secretary.

Before the victim died, the two had been at odds, were closest, and were alone in the room. The justification and the location were sufficient. But…

연여주

"What did they kill him with?"

They had no answer to the heroine's surprising question.

The victim's body was remarkably clean, save for the neck. There was evidence of a knife puncture and retraction into the artery along the jawline. This likely served as the victim's cause of death.

The heroine asked them as if she was demanding answers, but in truth, she already knew the answer. The deep yet clean cut on their necks closely resembled the jackknives she was collecting.

But I couldn't tell this straight. How could an ordinary police officer identify the murder weapon from just the knife marks, or even the type of jackknife?

She had to hide as much as possible and reveal as little as possible. That's how the heroine portrayed an ordinary person.
