Special Investigation Team BTS 2

EP 09. The Murder of a Member of the National Assembly (3)

“Excuse me, Special Forces Team Leader…?”

김석진

"Yes, what's going on?"

"This is a list of people who were inside the building at the time of the victim's death."

While the team was gathered for a meeting, the suspect list was handed over to Seokjin. The fact that the secretary and his wife were inside the building was already known, as the security guard had seen them, but to investigate further, he needed the entry list.

Seokjin accepted the list and checked the names, and a new person was discovered. Park Chun-bae, seventy-one years old. He was the janitor who had been cleaning the building for the past week. Perhaps he was the witness who had been taken to the hospital.

김석진

"Hoseok and Taehyung, Jungkook will interrogate Mr. Park Chunbae, Yoongi and Yeoju, Jimin will interrogate the secretary, and Namjoon and I will interrogate the wife."

정호석

"What about the room? This place is not soundproof at all."

김석진

"Now, the police will all be out. We'll be the only ones in the building, so if possible, choose a location near the ends of the building for questioning."

With Seokjin's words, the team members began searching the room with their assigned suspect. However, unlike the others who tried to climb as high as possible, Yeoju remained motionless.

Jimin shouted at her to come quickly, but she responded calmly, tapping her toes on the floor.

연여주

"Let's do it here."

민윤기

"…what?"

연여주

"We need someone to guard the crime scene, and we also need someone to report the National Forensic Service as soon as they arrive. Wouldn't it be better to kill two birds with one stone? Right, Team Leader?"

김석진

“Well… that’s true. I’ll do whatever you want, Yeoju.”

Seokjin, who seemed to be pondering for a moment, nodded and turned to head toward the elevator. Yoongi and Jimin, who were heading to the last room on the first floor, were returning to Yeoju, but Yeoju's gaze never left Seokjin's back.

"Ms. Yeoju, not Ms. Yeonyeoju." Seokjin's way of addressing me had changed. It felt like much of the sharpness in his gaze had vanished...?

박지민

"Hey, aren't you coming?"

연여주

"Oh, go."

I turned to the voice calling my name. Still, it felt good to be acknowledged as a team member.

He placed a chair about three meters away from the crime scene and interrogated the secretary. While it was called an interrogation, in reality, they were asking him how he had killed her.

민윤기

"So, did you bring something like a box cutter?"

“No…. Why did you bring a box cutter when you don’t have any use for it…!!”

박지민

"As the victim's younger sibling, I heard they were often arguing. They even got into physical fights frequently. There's ample motive, isn't there?"

"That's right, it was my brother's fault!!!! He said he was running for the National Assembly, but he ignored his wife who was waiting for him at home all day long!!!"

"Even a month ago, you brought a young woman into your house. Is that something a human would do?!"

연여주

“You brought a woman into the house… Your wife also revealed that she had a motive for murder. Is that correct?”

“What… what? No, that’s not it…….”

From infidelity to lust for power. I sighed, thinking, "What a disgusting life!" The two people next to me shook their heads.

민윤기

"You were present when the victim was alive. Please tell me what you talked about with the victim."

“It wasn’t anything…! We just… had a little… fight!! No, and besides, I was the one who reported it!! But why is everyone treating me like a suspect?!?!”

"If you think about it, isn't it possible to call it suicide?! Or... there's that witness!!! Since the first person to discover it was the witness, isn't the witness a more likely suspect?!"

"If not, some thief could have broken in and killed him!!! There are so many possibilities, why did you pick me as a suspect?!?"

The secretary seemed anxious and stammered as she explained why it wasn't her, and Yoon-ki, as if he didn't want to hear useless words, dropped the file he was holding on the floor with an annoyed expression.

The plastic file hit the floor, and the secretary's rambling words were cut off. Only then did Yoon-ki, finally finding the time to speak, frowned and spoke.

"Don't be so hard."

"Is there a law that says the informant is not a suspect?"

I could feel Yoongi suppressing his anger. I looked at Jimin, wondering if it was time to intervene, but lo and behold, he was glaring at me with eyes even more menacing than Yoongi's.

연여주

"Whew... Everyone who was in the building at that time was identified as a suspect. You weren't the only one identified as a suspect."

연여주

"Min Yoongi. Why don't you just sit down and do whatever you want? What do you gain by acting like this guy?"

The female protagonist had no choice but to step in and stop their conversation. It was a moment when Ho-seok, who had been blocking the way between Yoon-gi and the reporter, finally understood.

민윤기

"Min Yoongi? You? You keep calling my name because I keep falling for you, you?"

연여주

"Then you too, Yeonyeoju. Call me that. Who said what?"

민윤기

"hey."

Somehow, the spark flew to Yeo-ju. The argument between the secretary and Yoon-gi escalated into a fight between Yeo-ju and Yoon-gi. Jimin, who was watching them, just sighed, not even thinking of intervening.

Yeo-ju stared straight into Yoon-gi's eyes, as if he were about to punch her. "Yeah, well. We'll be seeing each other for at least a year, so we can't keep bumping into each other like this."

연여주

“Haa… Senior Yoongi.”

민윤기

"…what?"

연여주

"Senior Yoongi. Okay? Don't get upset over something else when we're interrogating you."

"Old, interested." With that in mind, I called him "senior" after his name. Yoongi's expression hardened, as if he didn't like the title, but I simply ignored him.

Meanwhile, Yoon-ki, who was looking at the female protagonist who called him "senior," suddenly saw someone else in the female protagonist's face. The person who once called him "senior" without fail...

"Senior, you're here too?"

민윤기

"Did you find anything strange? It's not in the car. What are you doing here?"

"It's stuffy in the car. I just came out for a bit to get some fresh air."

Kim Yeo-ju's face.

민윤기

"……."

박지민

"…brother?"

민윤기

“…Uh. Why.”

박지민

"No, it just seems a bit strange. Why, what's going on all of a sudden?"

Jimin placed a hand on Yoongi's shoulder and asked in a small voice, barely loud enough for Yeoju to hear. He seemed to think Yeoju was upset.

Yoongi nodded silently in response to Jimin's question. Perhaps it was because of the previous neck injury, but for some reason, his throat felt blocked.
