--Lisa--

He seemed to realize that his words were a bit impulsive, so he coughed lightly and said, "Describe the man's appearance."

I recalled and described it carefully, and he quickly wrote it down.

He asked a few more questions and I answered them one by one. He remembered it very seriously and was very focused and serious when working. His words were concise and logical. He looked like a prestigious and reliable policeman.

Finally, he closed the notebook and said, "Come back to the police station with us. You will be questioned about this case." He added, "As long as you have nothing to do with the case, you will be fine."

He led me to the car, and I couldn't help but ask, "Am I in the same car with Jungkook?"

He replied, "No."

Me: "Oh."

He was silent for a few seconds, then said, "In a few hours at most, we will release you and you can meet again." His tone was very calm, without any emotion. I wanted to explain, but I couldn't explain it clearly, so I gave up.

And I don't think he has any feelings for me. After all, we've only been dating for two weeks and haven't even held hands. It's just that he has a very rigid personality, so it's a bit awkward, right?

Another police car had already driven away with Jungkook, so I got into the back seat of the remaining one. There was already a policeman in the driver's seat, and Suho knocked on the window and said, "You sit in the back, I'll drive." The man asked, "Why?" Suho said, "Don't ask so many questions." I looked up at the sky.

It was already early in the morning, and the police car sped along, leaving the quiet scenery of the city behind. Along the way, the two policemen were silent. I looked at Suho's silent profile like a sculpture, and then looked at the other policeman next to me with a cold and hard outline. They both had a special temperament.

The temperament of a criminal policeman.

Suddenly, a light flashed in my mind.

I cleared my throat and said, "Suho, you are a criminal police officer. This police officer is also a criminal police officer."

Suho didn't turn around and said, "What's wrong?"

I smiled and said, "If it was a sudden case of child kidnapping, the first people to rush to the scene should be the district police. But now it is you. Suho, you are in the serious crime team. You don't care about ordinary cases at all - this is not his first crime, this is a serial case."

Neither of them spoke.

After a while, Suho said, "You can't ask so many questions."

I leaned back, crossed my legs, and said, "Who asked you? I just thought about it and figured it out."

——

What happened later that night was just as Suho had expected. I was questioned at the police station for several hours and was released at dawn.

Although the police asked me every detail and repeated many of the details over and over again. But I can understand. The basic questioning went smoothly, and I felt that they had eliminated their suspicion of me. Except for one thing, the other criminal policeman with Suho kept harping on it: "Are you and Jungkook dating? We checked online, you are a well-known writer, with a good income, a house and a car. He is just a mechanic from another place. Why are you with him?"

At first I could only say, "I like him." Later I got tired of being asked and answered, "He is handsome. He is so handsome and has manly charm. Even if he is penniless, I still want to be with him."

I don't know how Jungkook would answer this question. But I have a lot of advantages, so he shouldn't be embarrassed.

When I answered this question, Suho kept his head down, and his face looked a little unhappy. I felt a little helpless, and felt that every word I said seemed to hit him in the face. I guess his colleagues don't know the relationship between him and me. But if I were him, I wouldn't tell anyone about this.

When I was released, I was told that Jungkook had also gone home. I looked up at the rising sun. Although I was extremely sleepy after not sleeping all night, there was still a clear string in my mind.

If Jungkook was not the one who left the note for me, then I can almost conclude that it could only be the strange man, the serial criminal who appeared later.

Why did he lead me to his crime scene? I even interrupted him. He and I were strangers, what was his purpose?

There is no way to know. It feels like it cannot be explained by common sense.

However, there are still clues.

Jungkook.

Why he was there, he still hadn't told me the reason. I had a hunch that he must know something.

I suddenly felt a little anxious. It was a very strange feeling. I had only known him for three days. I knew almost nothing about him. But many things seemed to connect him and me. He looked so much like the man on the boat, he seemed to have some unusual feelings towards me, and he appeared in the same place as me where I shouldn't have been.

Who is he?

I decided that once I got home and had a good sleep and was fully refreshed, I would go find him and figure everything out.
