Chapter 110 – Result – Part 18

The man Woojin was watching was walking around the park as if taking a mountain hike.

He was estimated to be 176cm tall, and his face was hidden in shadow by his hat.

But his actions could be seen.

His head would occasionally turn slightly towards passing women.

Park Inhyeok lowered his voice slightly and asked,

“The person who just got up does look suspicious.”

There was a person sitting in the park, and they were seen looking around the area.

Woojin replied,

“Article 3 of the Minor Offenses Act. Public urination is also a crime. A fine of 100,000 won or less, detention, or a minor fine.”

No sooner had Woojin finished speaking than the man unzipped his pants and urinated on a tree.

And as he casually sat back down, Woojin spoke again.

“Public indecency is also involved. In a park, Articles 49 and 56 of the Act on Urban Parks and Green Spaces are also added.”

Mr. Woojin, your dream was to be a detective, wasn’t it?

Since he’s even familiar with the law.

That’s not what’s important. Look at that man.

Woojin pointed his finger at the man circling Park.

He just looks like he’s taking a stroll…

His head slightly turns every time a woman passes by. It might be normal, but look at his relaxed hands.

He was rubbing his palms as if feeling his own skin.

Is he someone who usually plays Go? When you watch movies about Go, don’t they hold Go stones in one hand and rub them like that?

He’s right-handed. What Actor Park Inhyeok says makes sense. People who rub Go stones do it while looking at the Go board, but that man is rubbing them while looking at women.

Park Inhyeok’s eyes widened slightly.

“He wants to touch them?”

You catch on quickly. Yes, that’s right. He might be imagining things. He occasionally strokes his own thigh too. How bold of him.

Most people just glance furtively. But to turn his head and briefly fix his gaze, showing his actions, is different.

Like a lion taking a stance while looking at its prey, the probability of execution is quite high.

Listening to Mr. Woojin, he does seem really suspicious…

Is that really the case?

He thought it might be because he was so engrossed in Woojin’s words.

If that man really were to take some action…

Park Inhyeok shook his head with an awkward smile.

According to Woojin, there are 5,310 rape cases annually.

‘Does that mean about 14 cases happen per day?’

He didn’t think that the man in the park was one of the criminals in those 14 cases.

Those are just statistics. There could be more.

At Woojin’s words, as if he had read his thoughts, Park Inhyeok chuckled awkwardly.

How on earth do I become like Mr. Woojin?

“It would be best to understand hormones first. Next is a person’s reaction to hormones.”

Woojin continued, his gaze fixed on the man.

“Step by step, our brains have a limited capacity to process information all at once. That’s why scholars say that the brain hasn’t changed from primitive times to modern times. So, to adapt to changing times, humans created electronic devices to store memories and data, and also computers. It’s easier to understand if you think of it as creating a substitute for the brain.”

Park Inhyeok was amazed by Woojin’s words, which sounded like a lecture.

He had always felt this, but Woojin seemed to know a lot.

No, he knew a lot.

Moreover, he could even control his pupils, making them contract and expand.

As these thoughts filled his mind, Park Inhyeok even felt that Woojin was not human.

“It’s raining.”

At Woojin’s words, Park Inhyeok’s gaze turned to the windshield.

Indeed, raindrops were falling with a plop.

“Rain is a gift to all things, but it’s also suitable for concealing a person’s presence and traces. That person, their house is close.”

Even though raindrops were falling and it looked like it would soon pour, his steps were leisurely.

Whoosh.

The rain soon poured down as if it would swallow up their vision.

The thug who had been loitering in the park neither ran nor walked fast.

He was just moving with wide strides.

And he entered the blue gate across the street from the park.

Park Inhyeok, who had watched the scene with Woojin, said,

“Woojin, since it’s raining, do you want to go for a warm sake? I know a great place…”

Woojin, who had his eyes fixed on the blue gate, let out a short exclamation.

“Oh… I haven’t tried warm sake before. What about snacks?”

Park Inhyeok said excitedly, as if there was no need to ask.

“The takowasabi is absolutely amazing. The taste is completely different from anywhere else.”

Woojin nodded, as if he wanted to go.

I really want to go see it soon.

Let’s go.

Park Inhyeok started the car. No, Woojin grabbed his hand.

Wait a minute. The main gate that the man entered is open. The lights didn’t even turn on after he went inside the house.

The open main gate was dark, as if it had opened its maw.

Rain falls as December approaches.

The temperature drops further, and people’s steps in the area quicken.

Warm sake on a cold day.

I wanted to try it.

Along with the octopus wasabi that Park Inhyeok said was amazing.

Then we need to move quickly.

Actor Park Inhyeok.

Yes?

What will happen if it’s in the news that the protagonist of Synesthete actually caught a criminal and wore a mask?

What are you suddenly talking about…

For the first time in a long time, Woojin summoned that guy who could use everything he had, down to every single cell.

Come out.

Woojin’s vision brightened again, as if a switch had been flipped off and on.

Wow…

Woojin grinned and muttered, fixing his gaze on the Blue Gate.

This guy knows what’s up. This kind of thriller is my specialty.

Park Inhyeok blinked and asked at Woojin’s suddenly changed tone.

Huh?

Woojin put on his mask again and looked at Park Inhyeok.

He lightly closed one eye and winked.

Then, he put his hand on Park Inhyeok’s shoulder and said,

“Our handsome Actor Park Inhyeok. Could you wait here for a moment?”

“Where are you go…”

Thump.

Before Park Inhyeok could finish his sentence, Woojin got out of the car.

Woojin hid himself partially behind a utility pole and looked around.

It was almost 10 PM, and no one was in sight.

This time, he reached out his hand to feel the falling raindrops.

It was enough to effectively block out any noise.

As Woojin opened his slightly pouted lips, a stream of white breath escaped.

“This isn’t the first time, is it?”

His actions and gaze revealed everything.

“Alright, Woojin, watch closely and learn from your brother. Though I doubt you can do it.”

At that moment, Unconscious’s movements twitched simultaneously with his words.

Unconscious, having removed his hat, ran a hand through his hair and smirked.

“Hey, hey, just kidding. Just kidding. But let’s acknowledge what needs to be acknowledged.”

Then, Unconscious saw a pink umbrella approaching from a distance.

Unconscious’s pupils dilated strangely, like a cat’s.

It was a woman wearing high heels and carrying a bag on her shoulder.

There was no one else around besides her.

Only the streetlights illuminated the desolate falling rain.

Unconscious calculated the woman’s walking speed and the time it would take for her to arrive in front of the blue gate.

Unconscious then turned back the way he came and began to approach the car.

As he did so, he curled the corners of his mouth and mumbled as if playing a game.

“The time for the woman to arrive at the main gate is three minutes. My distance from Park Inhyeok is two minutes. The probability of him kidnapping the woman, given the created situation, is 95%.”

Unconscious, who eventually opened the car door, said to Actor Park Inhyeok,

“Our handsome Actor Park Inhyeok!”

Having said that, Unconscious tilted his head and spoke again in a low voice.

“Still, I think I’m handsomer.”

His words were drowned out by the rain and not heard by Park Inhyeok.

Unconscious opened his mouth again, as if singing, as if playing a prank.

“Please report that a kidnapping has occurred. Right now!”

“Woojin, suddenly…”

“Right now!”

Bang!

As before, the door closed again.

Unconscious walked out of sight from the main gate.

Just then, a woman walked past the main gate.

Suddenly. A man sprang out from inside the dark main gate.

The man, with his back to the walking woman, quickly scanned his surroundings, then.

“Mmph!”

He covered the woman’s mouth and dragged her into the main gate.

And then.

Click!

The main gate closed.

Unconscious, who was watching the scene from a hidden angle, crossed his arms and shook his head.

“There’s no genius like this genius. My predictions never miss, you know?”

At the same time, Woojin’s body darted towards the main gate.

Just like a cat climbing over a wall, Unconscious’s body went over the main gate.

Park Inhyeok, who was watching the scene from inside the car, had his eyes wide open and his mouth agape.

Park Inhyeok, who had been staring at the Blue Gate as if enchanted, suddenly snapped back to reality and called 112.

“He-here, there’s a kidnapping! A man kidnapped a woman! Quickly! Please come quickly!”

-Sir, please calm down and tell me again. What is your location?

At that moment.

Unconscious, who had leaped over the main gate, was now facing the man who was covering the woman’s mouth.

The man, who was trying to drag the woman into the house, spoke first.

“Jaewook?”

Woojin calmly looked around even in front of the man and said,

“Calling out a name at a crime scene, do you have an accomplice or something?”

“Who… who are you!? Police?”

Woojin now looked at the floor and bent down.

“Wow… why is there so much junk?”

There was an axe, a monkey wrench, an electric drill, and so on, and Woojin picked up a metal pipe among them.

Unconscious tapped the palm of his left hand with the metal pipe he held in his right hand.

The sight was like watching a criminal hiding their identity.

“Who am I?”

As Unconscious took a step closer to him, the man quickly picked up a screwdriver and held it to the woman’s neck.

No, at that moment.

“If you come closer, this woman…”

Thwack!

The metal pipe held by Unconscious accurately struck his wrist.

His hand hung limply, as if fractured.

“Hey, mister, your brain can’t handle two things at once. You should have acted first.”

“Who…”

The man threw the woman towards Unconscious and ran into the living room.

Unconscious patted the shoulder of the woman he was holding and said,

“Sister, did you have a company dinner? Seafood hot pot is good. Did you drink a bottle of soju, Righteous Path?”

Surprised by Unconscious’s words, she quickly pulled away.

It was doubly surprising that someone wearing a mask and a hat knew about the company dinner.

“Th-thank you.”

The woman quickly approached the main gate.

The moment she tremblingly tried to open the gate, Unconscious said,

“Stop, sister. The police will arrive soon, and I’d like you to give a statement. Though I do have strong backing.”

Just then, someone pounded on the main gate! Bang! Bang!

It was Park Inhyeok, who had rushed over, worried about Woojin.

Unconscious went to the woman’s side, opened the gate, and said to Park Inhyeok,

“Our handsome actor. Please take shelter from the rain with this sister for a moment.”

Unconscious, with a slight smile, left those words and approached the glass front door.

Rattle, rattle, rattle.

The door was, of course, locked.

“Honestly. Sir. What kind of unmanly behavior is this?”

Unconscious’s metal pipe struck the glass.

Smash!

Park Inhyeok, watching the scene, could only silently observe.

Woojin smashing the door looked more like a hired thug than anything else; he certainly didn’t look weak.

He even looked like someone who had been waiting for this situation.

It seemed as if he was enjoying it.
