HELP! My Wife is a SPY [JENLISA X CHAESOO X MOONSUN X MINYEON]

38

When Lisa woke up the next morning and stepped out of his bedroom, he realized the sofa was already empty and his blanket was neatly folded.

"Did she leave without a word," he wondered with disappointment.

As he walked over to the coffee table, he noticed a little note: "Remember to come get your coats when you feel better."

Lisa sighed. That was right! He was supposed to get his coats back last night. But, wasn't he considering keeping his distance from her? Perhaps, he should just abandon the coats and never see her again.

But then he sighed. If he never took them back, there would always be a connection between them.

"I guess I'll see her one last time. I'll just get my coats and go," he decided.

At that moment, there was a knock on his front door. He peeped through the peephole in his door and saw two policemen, "Mr. Lalisa Manoban , this is the police. We would like to invite you to the station for a chat."

"It's regarding the murder of Marcus Chin."

...

After a long night, Jennie did not wake up until midday.

That day, she had arranged to meet her handler at Chaoyang Park, the biggest green space in Seoul.

Many old people gathered in the park on Sundays to partake in all kinds of activities, including singing and dancing. There were also some old men fishing from the lake in the middle. Jennie's handler, Moonbyul, was seated amongst these old people.

Jennie walked over and sat down next to him. The man quickly handed her a fishing rod. "Have you fished before?" he asked.

Jennie shook her head.

Moonbyul held up his own fishing rod and patiently showed Jennie how to attach some bait and how to cast the line. The fishing line flew into the lake and made a light splash. Jennie quickly followed. As they sat there waiting for something to bite, Moonbyul turned to Jennie and asked, "Any progress?"

Jennie pulled out the napkin she found from the previous night and showed it to Moonbyul. "It means Friday in Thai," Jennie explained. "I know basic Thai from high school."

"Could he be meeting Niran on Friday?" Moonbyul asked.

"I'm thinking that might be the case too. I'll try and figure out where Lisa will be this Friday and that should give us some clues."

At that moment, an old man approached the two with a trolley of newspapers. "Would you like a copy of today's news for 1 yuan?" the old man offered.

Jennie glanced at the paper in the old man's hands. In this day and age, it was rare to buy newspapers since news could be easily accessed online. So, she originally planned to reject the old man politely.

But, suddenly a headline and photo caught her attention.

[Gangster Boss Killed in Cold Blood]

Jennie grabbed the newspaper and looked at the victim's photo closely. "I think I've seen this man before," she whispered under her breath.

She quickly handed the old man 1 yuan and started reading the article. The man had been killed last night in an alleyway not too far from her club by multiple stab wounds.

"What's wrong?" Moonbyul asked.

Jennie paused for a moment. She then pulled out her phone and opened her gallery. She quickly found a photo she had taken at the club the previous night. As she compared the photo on her phone to the photo on the newspaper, she froze.

The man that was murdered - the gangster boss - was the man that Lisa was with at the club the previous night!

The two men left the club together and she saw Lisa later that night with cuts across his arm and shoulder. He had been in a fight...

...or a struggle...

Jennie's hands began to tremble...

Did Lisa kill someone? Was that why he didn't want to go to the hospital?

Jennie didn't know what to do. It was only a matter of time before the police figured that Lisa was with the murdered man before his death, but no one knew that he had been injured except for her. Would those injuries incriminate him? With his history, the police were bound to jump to conclusions.

What if it was self defence? Or maybe it was an accident.

"Was that photo from last night? Was Lisa with Marcus Chin?" Moonbyul asked as he peered over Jennie's shoulder.

Jennie nodded her head.

At that moment, Jennie received a phone call.

It was Lisa.

"Hi Jennie, I'm at the police station, can you come be my alibi?" he asked. Jennie hesitated for a second and replied, "I'll be right there."
