INSIDE MONSTER. THE FUGITIVE.

CHAPTER 14: THE ESCAPE

One week after SolHi told DooSan about what So Ari could have hidden online, SuJin finally found something that could have helped them solve the case or at least have a starting point. Yet, it was a damn difficult week and full of adventures. Even so, he unblocked Ari's Cloud account one evening at about 10 p.m. He found there many documents, a big part of them handwritten statements, where So Ari accepted her guilt of having killed Do Ian Jun and a video. Yet, even if he found all this, SinJu didn't have anyone to show them because nobody was in the office at that late hour.

Although nobody was in the office, SuJin decided to watch that video and carefully listen to it to find out details about that case. Then, when the video was over, SuJin thought for a long time, wondering, „Is it true what she said? I don't think so. It seems too simple and... way too suspicious. And... okay, I understand that Captain Lee Do Hun planned everything. Even so, all this seems damn suspicious because... it's too simple when I expected it to be hell complicated."

Suddenly, he winced when he heard that the door opened. This made SuJin suddenly block his computer. After that, raising his gaze and looking at the door, he saw Yoon Suk staring at him. What made Yoon Suk act like that? SuJin's reaction, which seemed way too suspect to him. What Yoon Suk didn't know was that SuJin was right in reacting like that once he was doing something he shouldn't have done without the supervision of one of the detectives. Plus, Yoon Suk entered the office so suddenly that forced him to hide the evidence from the young detective instead of showing it to him. That's why, squinting at him, Yoon Suk asked SuJin, „What the hell are you hiding at this time?"

„I? Nothing!" SuJin rushed to say.

„And I was born yesterday," Yoon Suk hissed through his teeth. Then, he supported his hands on the table and stared at SuJin, who looked everywhere but not at him. Because of this, Yoon Suk finally shouted, enraged, „Yu SuJin, stop going around the bush and tell me what you found!"

„I told you already: nothing!"

„Just as I told you that I'm not a child for you to deceive me with a lollipop. So, sing!"

SuJin showed him his fangs, whispering, „And I'm not a soprano to start singing when you ask me to do that!" Then, the young man winced and swallowed hard when Yoon Suk punched the desk. This made SuJin feel surrounded because it was clear that Yoon Suk knew that he was hiding something. That's why he told himself eventually that it would be better for everyone if he had said what he knew. Anyway, he had no chance to hide it. The reason? Oh Yoon Suk was that type of hunting dog who, if he smelled something, didn't give up until finding out the truth. „One of Kan's best pupils," as DooSan used to joke when SolHi acted the same. He also knew that Yoon Suk was a good detective and that he had also been trained in Kan's school of investigating cases. That's why he didn't move away from SuJin or let this one breathe until this one didn't show him the video. After watching the video, Yoon Suk seemed like a stone statue while staying behind SuJin for a very long time.

Eventually, tired of waiting for that one to react, SuJin asked, „What do you think, Hion? Is it true what So Ari said in the record?"

Yoon Suk didn't answer for a long time. Only eventually, still staring at the computer's screen where So Ari was seen, he said, „Do you have a shovel in your car?" A question that made SuJin jump off his seat and stare at him as though he'd seen the devil.

„A shovel?" SuJin asked after that in a shaking voice. „Why do you need a shovel, Hion? Do you intend to bury me because I found out the truth?"

Detective Oh squinted at him. „Have you lost your mind?" Yoon Suk suddenly hissed through his teeth. „What should I bury you for? Am I a hit man or what? I just... need it. And... you'll see what for if you follow me!" Then, not waiting for SuJin's answer, Yoon Suk headed toward the door.
