Chapter 27

--Lisa--

In addition, some police investigation results also provided me with very valuable clues.

First, they believed that the murderer was a habitual thief. This was based on the analysis of the footprints at the scene. The outer side of the sole was worn out, but the inner side was relatively light. The heel was less worn. This is a typical "thief's" foot. I also agree with this view, because when I saw it that day, I felt that the man's footsteps were particularly light. Now it seems that he may have received "theft training."

But why did a master thief suddenly come to steal children? Have you made a new career plan?

And the police didn't know the face of the murderer as I said. They had found surveillance cameras on the road and even captured the face of the murderer, which was exactly the same as the face I saw. They also obtained the fingerprints left by the murderer at the scene, but there was no identity record for either the fingerprints or the face. His identity could not be confirmed. The whereabouts of any of the missing children were not found.

Judging from the facts alone, this case is not complicated. But I feel like there is something hidden everywhere, and I can't explain it for the time being. I took the information and planned to find Jungkook. But on the way to the auto repair shop, I always felt that I had overlooked a very important clue, but my mind couldn't connect it for a while.

Xiaohua was in the store, but Jungkook was not. Xiaohua said that he and two of his friends had gone to a restaurant across the street to eat, and he was very enthusiastic to give me the address and his mobile phone number.

I parked my car in front of the small, run-down restaurant, with greasy water stains on the ground. I looked at my watch and it was already 2pm, but the open-air courtyard of the small restaurant was still full of people. I immediately saw Jungkook and two repairmen sitting at the innermost table. I was wondering whether to wait outside, but he saw me and called out, "Lisa."

I walked over, and the two repairmen seemed to recognize me, and smiled in surprise, looking at Jungkook with ambiguous eyes. Jungkook seemed to be completely unaware, and pulled a chair over from the side, placed it next to him, and said, "Sit down." Then he looked at the two men. The two men smiled but didn't say anything.

I don't care, there's nothing wrong between us. We just touched each other's face and hands, there's nothing ambiguous about it. But when I sat down, next to him, very close to him in public. And he looked at me, I suddenly felt my face burning and my throat a little dry.

And...very hungry.

I just realized that I had forgotten to eat since this morning. Why did the leftovers on the table look so delicious?

Jungkook asked: "What's the matter?"

I nodded.

He said, "Okay, let's talk later."

I said, "Okay."

"Have you eaten?" he asked.

I answered honestly: "No."

He smiled, picked up the simple menu on the table and handed it to me, saying, "Order two dishes." I took it and looked at it with some reserve. At this time, the two men had stood up and said, "Brother Jeon, we will go back to the store first." Jungkook replied, "Okay, you go first, I'll pay the bill." One of them smiled and said, "Of course you pay the bill." Jungkook didn't say anything.

I pretended not to hear. After ordering two dishes, Jungkook called the waiter to clean the table and poured us a glass of water. While waiting for the dishes, I handed him the case file, and he read it carefully. Our table was the only quiet one in the restaurant.

After a while, I said, "Since you know what happened, why are you still repairing the car today? Why don't you come to me to discuss what to do next?"

He looked up at me and said, "Didn't you say you wanted to be alone?"

Uh... that's what I said.

He lowered his head again and said, "But if you don't come to me by tonight, I will come to you."

"oh."

Suddenly, I felt a warm feeling in my heart.
