Special Investigation Team BTS Complete
EP 09. The Lipstick Murders (7)
Did the female protagonist really receive the call and go first?
Without saying a word to me? Right away?
Even though we hadn't known each other for very long, when I thought about the way Yeoju had looked in the few days I had seen her, I knew she wasn't that kind of person.
Since I was called in right away, I left the house without much suspicion, but I couldn't help but feel uneasy.
Taehyung habitually bit his lower lip with his teeth, as if he was anxious, and he couldn't hide his anxiety as he continued to tap the steering wheel with his fingers.
김태형
“…I’ll go to the scene, check if Yeoju is there, and then come back.”
Yeah, that was the best we could do in this situation.
The scene where the body was found was a veritable pandemonium.
An overturned trash can and something that appears to be a human head inside it.
Because it was a relatively crowded time, people had already gathered before the police arrived, and the police who arrived first were having a hard time stopping people from taking pictures.
김태형
"What? The fourteenth victim? Where did my brothers go?"
전정국
"Seokjin hyung and Yoongi hyung are looking at the victim Han Da-in's phone, and Namjoon hyung and Hoseok hyung are blocking people over there."
전정국
"And Jimin hyung is listening to the reporter's explanation of the situation."
Taehyung, who had been listening intently to Jeongguk's explanation, looked around as if looking for something and asked.
김태형
"What about Yeoju? Is Yeoju with Jimin too?"
전정국
"Yeoju? What are you talking about? You went with your brother to meet the victim's boyfriend. His name was Kim Seok-hoon, right?"
김태형
“…What? Then the heroine didn’t come here…?”
The thought process stops.
Kim Seok-hoon said that Yeo-ju was clearly called and went first, but… Yeo-ju did not come here.
Then Kim Seok-hoon lied, and Yeo-ju… … .
김태형
"Fuck!"
전정국
"Huh, huh, hyung? What are you doing! Hyung!"
Taehyung entered the scene surrounded by police officers as if he had lost his mind, and without even wearing gloves, he roughly lifted the body lying on the floor.
Lipstick. I need to find the lipstick stain. Lipstick. The lipstick stain… … .
The police officers waiting nearby knew that Taehyung's actions were wrong, but they couldn't act rashly because they remembered that he was a 'soldier' who belonged to a new organization that had collaborated with the police.
At the unexpected sudden action, people pushed their cameras in even more and filmed Taehyung and the body, and the rest of the team members who were suddenly in a commotion also approached Taehyung while shouting as they tried to find the cause of the commotion.
puck.
민윤기
"Hey, you little shit!"
Yoongi, who was relatively closer than the other team members, approached Taehyung first and, faster than words could speak, swung his fist at Taehyung's face and dragged him away from the damaged scene.
민윤기
"Hey, Kim Taehyung. What the hell, are you kidding me? Didn't you get any training when you came in here?!"
민윤기
"Why are you making mistakes that even normal people don't make, you brat!"
김태형
“……Numbers. Numbers….”
김석진
“Ha… Kim Taehyung.”
Taehyung, who was thrown by Yoongi, muttered something softly without even thinking about getting up, and Seokjin, who had a headache and a look on his face, approached Taehyung step by step while throwing a file of documents to the police officer next to him.
김석진
"Kim Taehyung. What are you doing?"
김태형
“Tongue, hyung… I don’t have time for this right now. Go to that bastard Kim Seok-hoon right now…,”
"Don't even think about making excuses."
"Don't be afraid, explain clearly why you did that."
When Taehyung realized that she was looking at him with a cold expression, he finally realized what he had done.
Taehyung opened his mouth to say something, but he felt like he would be punished immediately if he said even one wrong thing, so he took a deep breath and began to speak quickly.
김태형
“…the female protagonist is gone.”
김석진
"…?"
김태형
"I went to meet Kim Seok-hoon with Yeo-ju, and we were there together, but I haven't seen him since Yeo-ju said she went to the bathroom."
김태형
“I was going to go look for him because I thought something might have happened, but Kim Seok-hoon… That bastard said he went to Yeoju first and went where he was called, so I came right here.”
After hearing Taehyung's story, Jungkook's face hardened as he remembered Taehyung asking where Yeoju was earlier.
김태형
“But, there was no female protagonist here, so that means Kim Seok-hoon lied…! If this victim is the real lipstick murder victim, then there will only be one victim in the future…!”
김석진
"……."
민윤기
"under……."
김태형
“…But, but… this victim….”
Taehyung, who had been speaking well until now, lowered his gaze and trailed off.
Yoongi was swearing at him from the side, asking if he should speak quickly, but Seokjin didn't say or do anything and just slowly asked Taehyung after observing his condition.
김석진
“…What is it? Tell me.”
김태형
"……."
김태형
“This victim… why is he number 1…?”
김석진
"…what?"
민윤기
“…What? What are you talking about? Number 1.”
Number 1? What does that mean?
Seokjin and Yoongi were flustered by Taehyung's words and stuttered, and only after Namjoon, who was standing behind them, entered the scene and confirmed the victim's body were they able to come to their senses.
김남준
“Number 1… It’s really number 1.”
박지민
“…Then what about number 2? The victim with number 2 written on it didn’t show up.”
정호석
“…either we couldn’t find it, or….”
전정국
“…we were a little faster.”
They had just learned the shocking truth, and it seemed as if they couldn't hear the noise around them that had been so noisy until just a moment ago.
After standing still for a few seconds, Seokjin seemed to have gathered his thoughts and nervously took off the latex gloves he was wearing and left the scene.
"Get some ammunition."
"I take responsibility."
