Chapter 112 – Result – Part 20

Unconscious allowed himself to be pinned to the floor with the man on top of him.

Then, he forced a knife into the man’s dangling hands.

It was as if Unconscious was holding the man’s hands.

It looked like the man was on top of Unconscious’s stomach, stabbing him with a knife.

“Wh-what are you doing?”

“Showtime.”

Unconscious looked up at him and subtly smiled.

And when the siren blared distinctly.

“Mr. Park Inhyeok! Mr. Park Inhyeok!”

He urgently shouted.

“This crazy bastard…”

At that moment, Park Inhyeok, who had rushed in from outside before the police, kicked the man in the head.

Thud!

The police who followed witnessed the entire scene.

A few days later.

Deputy Division Chief Prosecutor Kim Cheolung was looking in the mirror, preparing for a briefing.

Isn’t this easier than pie?

Woojin had suddenly caught the criminal and revealed all the methods of the crime and everything the criminal tried to conceal, even before the forensic team or police officials.

This was not the Woojin who usually solved unsolved cases.

It wasn’t an unsolved case, nor was it a reported incident; he simply pointed out the criminal with his eyes and apprehended him.

To put it simply.

It seems like this person has committed more than just one or two crimes?

He’s going to commit another crime soon.

I need to catch him.

And he really did catch him.

Once again, as his thoughts reached that point, Kim Cheolung let out a hollow laugh.

It’s not like a siren goes off in his head when he sees a criminal.

He even wondered if this Righteous Path wasn’t some kind of supernatural power.

Shin Woojin, 21 years old, has a quirky side and looks young for his age, but he’s definitely not someone to be judged lightly.

He even had the crazy thought that 21-year-old Ira was just a shell, and inside, a giant was breathing, looking down on the world.

What if Shin Woojin were to take up a profession like a detective or a prosecutor?

You can only catch crimes after they happen.

The law clearly implies the purpose of prevention, but with Woojin Ira…

Wouldn’t he take some action before a crime even occurs?

Kim Cheolung, who was looking in the mirror and thinking of Woojin, suddenly felt as if he heard Woojin’s voice.

‘You have to chew thoroughly so you don’t get indigestion.’

Those were Woojin’s words to him when he tried to rush a case out of a desire for publicity.

It was like saying to look to the side and look back, no, that was right.

The more you make a name for yourself, the more flies will stick to you and the more checks will come in.

From there, you have to take what you can and cut out what needs to be cut out.

To bring his future plans closer, he needed to have a broad vision.

The same goes for Lee Yohwan of SH Construction.

He will wait until it’s perfectly ripe, then place it on the scales.

“Prosecutor, I’m ready.”

Kim Cheolung nodded at the police official’s words and began to walk.

As he stood in place, camera flashes went off without a break.

“This incident…”

Kim Cheolung began the briefing calmly, but his voice was becoming increasingly agitated.

This was because the method of the crime was anti-human and too cruel.

“A total of three DNA samples were found…”

He was presumed to have eaten human flesh, and a total of 321 pieces of flesh, presumed to be from the victims, were found in his home refrigerator.

Kim Cheolung clenched his molars and his fists, as if anger was rising again.

The time for the briefing to conclude approached, and Kim Cheolung raised his head straight and said,

“I stake my name on this…”

Kim Cheolung, who almost made a slip of the tongue, quickly corrected himself.

“I will ensure he is severely punished. Lastly,”

Clickety-clack!

Amidst the renewed flurry of camera shutters, Kim Cheolung opened his mouth.

“On behalf of the prosecution, I extend my gratitude to actor Park Inhyeok, who took risks and played a direct role in apprehending the criminal.”

This story was Woojin’s request.

Kim Cheolung had initially intended to use Woojin when they first met, but now they were becoming a give-and-take relationship.

“That is all.”

***

For the first time in a while, Woojin was lounging in bed.

He really was rolling from side to side.

His parents were out, and Bomi was also not home, having plans with her friends.

As he rolled around, rubbing his face on the pillow like a cat, Woojin looked up at the ceiling while lying down.

“It’s been a really long time since I’ve just lounged around.”

Woojin’s expression seemed satisfied.

He really liked this lazy feeling.

He had no worries or concerns.

He had intended to stop by the real estate office to buy the commercial building of Ujeong Bunsik, but there was no need.

When Ujeong Bunsik became a popular store with long lines, the grandfather who owned the commercial building was overjoyed.

He had no intention of raising the rent and was simply happy for them, wishing them even more success.

He was not greedy for money and was someone who dedicated his remaining time to people.

Woojin, who had been lazing around again, got up and approached the window.

He opened the window and rested his arms on the windowsill as if crossing them.

The warm sunlight shone on Woojin’s face, gently caressing him.

Chirp. Chirp. Chirp.

Sparrows were chirping in the trees.

Woojin’s lips subtly curved upwards.

Everything was peaceful.

The voices of children passing by seemed to sound like a lazy song.

The aegyo-sal around Woojin’s eyes rose.

He was smiling.

“Good.”

Could there be any peace more perfect than this?

“Indeed… Am I getting the autumn blues?”

Woojin turned his gaze to a man passing by, talking on the phone.

His words made sense.

Autumn is the season when vitality fades.

Green leaves fall to the ground and become dead leaves, and fully bloomed flowers disappear.

People observe this with their eyes and are unconsciously affected by life and death, causing their emotions to sink.

As the temperature drops, trees reduce or stop chlorophyll production and form anthocyanins, turning their leaves red.

Conversely, trees that form carotene and xanthophyll produce yellow leaves. Trees that form a mixture of anthocyanin and carotene produce brilliant scarlet leaves.

Even the autumn foliage, which displays such a variety of colors and creates a spectacular sight, touches people’s emotions and stimulates hormones.

Each of these elements touches a person’s unconscious, which could also be described as ‘Autumn Blues’.

However, to Woojin’s eyes, it was nothing more than a phenomenon.

Woojin, who had been leisurely enjoying the outdoor scenery, soon closed the window, put on his clothes, and left the house to go to the supermarket.

He wanted to cook for his family.

At that moment.

Park Inhyeok, who was at his agency, couldn’t put down his cellphone.

[Park Inhyeok! Catches a criminal like a detective in a movie.]

[Some say he should be awarded a brave citizen award…]

[Park Inhyeok, a fierce struggle with a criminal!]

Articles poured out, he topped real-time search rankings, and comments were posted like crazy.

Then, Park Inhyeok, who was continuously looking at the articles and comments, received a call.

It was Director Jo Jeonghwan.

“Yes, Director.”

-Mr. Park Inhyeok! You did something incredible! Are you hurt anywhere?

“Yes. Are the reporters a bit quieter now?”

Reporters were relentlessly bothering Director Jo Jeonghwan, trying to uncover the identity of the Unknown Actor.

-Hahaha! Since you caught that criminal, Inhyeok, they’re not bothering me, are they? Didn’t they all flock to you instead?

Park Inhyeok smiled bitterly.

He was right.

Interview requests were coming in non-stop.

However, he couldn’t honestly confess that Shin Woojin was the one who caught the criminal.

Because if all eyes were on Woojin, they might quickly figure out who the Unknown Actor was.

Woojin extremely disliked that. No, he hated it.

Mr. Woojin caught the criminal.

Park Inhyeok knew this fact well, unless he was a fool.

Because kicking him in the head wouldn’t have made the criminal’s two wrists fly off.

It was a kind of act made for the police to see.

And the detective and prosecutor praised him as if they had made a promise.

Shouldn’t he really be given a brave citizen award? Anyway, he’s amazing.

Director. The truth is…

His chest felt heavy, and he wanted to tell someone.

He felt like he could understand the feeling of going into the mountains and shouting, “The king’s ears are donkey’s ears.”

And he felt like he was committing a sin by condoning it like this.

Director Jo Jeonghwan, who knew the identity of the unknown actor, would be fine.

Park Inhyeok continued.

About the criminal. Mr. Woojin caught him.

Huh? What are you talking about?

Mr. Woojin caught the criminal, and I staged it to look like I caught him.

Park Inhyeok meticulously recounted the story of that time.

So… Mr. Woojin said that guy is the criminal. Let’s wait. And then he caught him?

Yes. It sounds unbelievable, right? But it’s true.

…No. If it’s Mr. Woojin, it’s possible. I think so. You might not know, Mr. Inhyeok, but Mr. Woojin has some kind of special ability? No, I don’t know how to explain it, it’s not an ability, but oh, right. Observation. He’s really good at observing people…

I know too. Back then, he said he’d show me what happens if you’re good at observation, so I followed him out and he caught the criminal.

Why do I have that thought?

What?

Suddenly, I feel like catching the criminal wasn’t a coincidence.

What do you mean?

Think about the current situation. We caught the criminal at a time when our movie’s viewership was briefly stagnant, right? Look at the viewership numbers going crazy again. It’s the same for you, Mr. Inhyeok. Not only are you topping internet articles and searches, but the whole country is in an uproar because Park Inhyeok caught a terrible criminal, right?

“Ah…”

-It made his gaze shift from the Unknown (Actor) to Inhyeok. Could it be that he covered it up? Not to mention increasing the number of visitors.

“That could be. No, I think that’s what it is.”

At Jo Jeonghwan’s unexpected words, Park Inhyeok felt his hair stand on end like cotton swab fuzz.

Just then, the door rattled open and the agency’s CEO came in.

“Director, I’ll call you back.”

The CEO, who approached with a bright face, grabbed Park Inhyeok’s shoulder.

“You did a great job. You’re not really hurt, are you?”

“No, I’m really fine.”

“Do you know how many commercial offers are coming in?”

Park Inhyeok gave a bitter smile.

“I wonder.”

“You’d faint if you knew? They say you get three chances in life. I don’t know which chance this is for you, Inhyeok. But grab it tight. Something more cinematic than a movie happened. We’re going to contact overseas reporters and expand the scale.”

Park Inhyeok rubbed his face as if performing a dry wash.

What to say.

His mind was at ease for a moment after telling Director Jo Jeonghwan the whole story, but he felt a sense of guilt or remorse raising its head again.

“Why the long face? Is something wrong?”

“No.”

Park Inhyeok smiled.

Although he felt guilty, honestly, his mood was also at its peak.

Park Inhyeok opened his mouth again.

“CEO, I think I’ve met my benefactor.”

“Benefactor?”

“Yes. What should I give my benefactor as a gift?”
