PLACING the groceries down on the kitchen bench, Renjun walked towards his room. He looked at his current case and started to think over about the man's location.

Looking through all the cities in Seoul, Renjun just couldn't think about where the man could be. He circled the man in the pictures he had with a red marker and searched on his laptop about where all the police stations were, thinking he forgot one.

In the midst of his research, Renjun stopped and thought about where that man was from again. He hastily looked under the multiple papers that were spread out on his desk.

Finding the information, Renjun read through it again.

LEE HYEON-U | Age: 39

Occupation: Detective for Kultur Police Department

Location: Kultur (not sure where)

Assassinate him.

- He suspects us of the murder of the 3 teenagers. 

- Has a daughter but has never been seen with her

- He's skilled with cases and quick-witted

- Info on his wife is unknown

- Hasn't been seen in 2 months now but is active on his case

- There are no traces of debit card or device usage

- Hasn't been seen in any CCTV footage or dashcam footage


Renjun groaned as he gripped his hair with annoyance, "Where the fuck could he be?"

"I guess I'll have to do this the old-school way." Renjun sighed.

He pulled up a map from his laptop and printed out a map of Seoul. Looking at the paper, his eyes raked over the many locations.

He became more focused, a pen in his hand as he started to circle each police station. Settling his gaze on one location, Renjun stared at the police station that was in his area.

"Should I check it out?" He mumbled under his breath.

Making up his mind, Renjun walked out of his room and took his apartment keys.

"Jingyi, I'm going to go check in at my work. Alright?" Renjun said across the apartment. 

"Sure, get me some lemons when you're done." The young girl yelled from her room.

Renjun sighed at the request and then exited the apartment. Placing his keys into his pocket, he walked towards the stairs, the wind brushing against his cheek.

He walked down the stairs and then hailed a taxi. Looking at his phone, he saw the area around the police station on the map.

There was a shopping centre near it with a few small shops around it,  a university was situated a few metres away, hotels were just a few kilometres away and big apartment complexes were also around the area.

After he reached his destination, he exited the taxi and approached the police station. Gripping his hand around the metal bar of the door, Renjun started to contemplate.

'What if I ask for his daughter? Then, I can get a stronger lead. But, what should I say if I find her?'

He thought of a few scenarios, unconsciously biting his lip. 

"Can I help you?" A voice questioned from behind.

Waking up from his little plan, Renjun looked behind him- facing the man. A few minutes of silence were shared between the two.

Clearing his throat, Renjun told the man "I'm trying to look for someone."

Raising a brow, the officer opened the door of the station, "Are they missing?"

"Ah, yes. He's my father's friend and I was wondering if he probably came here." Renjun replied whilst walking inside the small building.

"What's his name? Do you know when he disappeared?" The officer asked, sipping his coffee.

"Two months ago. He never met with my father again- you see we're neighbours. His name is Hyeon-U. Lee Hyeon-U." Renjun answered, looking down at the name tag of the officer.

It read 'Park Sunghoon' which the boy noted. Sunghoon hummed in thought, placing his coffee on the receptionist's desk.

"Areum here can help. She's the best at searching up people so, I'll see you later." Sunghoon said, giving him a small smile.

The strange behaviour and aura left the boy irked.

"Who are you looking for?" Areum asked.

Renjun sighed in relief, happy that his story had no fault. 

"I'm looking for Lee Hyeon-Su," Renjun spoke.

"You said you were neighbours, what suburb or street do you live on?" Areum asked.

"Uh." Renjun stopped for a moment.
