The man's eyes curved and he waved into the camera. "Hello, officers of Seoul Municipal Bureau~"
Everyone: "!!!"
The man blinked as though recalling something and added after a brief pause, "Oh, I almost forgot. Hello to you too, the Interpol agent who has come all the way to his Home country," he grinned brightly and gave a mock salute. "I hope that you're satisfied with my hospitality."
Captain Rong shot up standing, his face contorted in anger. "This fucker...!"
Meanwhile, Taehyung's casual smile remained on his face. Only the twitch of his fingers and the decreasing temperature in his eyes betrayed his inner turmoil.
What was called a blatant act of provocation? This!!
A few hot-blooded officers also could not restrain their rage. The atmosphere in the meeting room reached its boiling point as foul curses reverberated one atop of the other. Even Director Bang's face was ashen as he stared at the projector screen.
As it turned out, the imposter was not done yet.
"Do you like this gift of mine?" He singsong-ed, as if he was not standing in the middle of a crime scene with a bleeding body under his feet. As if he had not just destroyed the life of an innocent teenager.
"I have even wrapped it perfectly for you..." he let out a mirthful chuckle.
"Don't blame yourself for your inability to catch up with me," he continued to say. "But don't worry, I will continue to give you guys enough motivation for doing so. After all, a cat and mouse game will not be exciting if there's only one cat, right?"
Before anyone could even process what he meant by that, he reached out toward the camera and - click.
The video ended just like that.
If previously, their blood was boiling in rage due to the imposter's outright provocation, now they only felt chills seeping into their limbs, causing their hearts to run cold.
What... What did he mean by enough motivation? What did he mean by the cat and mouse game?
And moreover, more than one cat?
It meant... more than one predator who was out to hunt for prey?
In the end, who exactly was the 'cat' and 'mouse' in the game?
Silence. It was so silent inside the meeting room that one could hear a pin drop.
Everyone was still struggling to digest what they had just seen and heard. They could not believe it. Someone had been so... brazen, so overt in his challenge toward the law enforcers and worse, he was right when he said that no one could catch up with him!
If... If today Li Yan had not caused a mess in Seoul Hospital Center, if Li Yan had not told them about this house where they found the evidence, they would have still been running around like a horde of headless chickens. It was so... humiliating!
The more terrifying the opponent was, the greater the pressure on their shoulders. Right now, they were so ashamed that they did not even dare to curse. After all, it was a solid fact that the imposter had led them around by the nose. And they were utterly helpless against him!
How... How were they supposed to capture someone like that?!
"Focus," Namjoon's calm voice cut through the heavy gloom in the air.
"I won't deny that our opponent this time is extremely brilliant, wicked and dangerous. Even worse, he is an expert when it comes to human's psychology. But don't let his words get to you. Keep today's frustration and anger inside your heart, but your head has to remain clear. The more he affects you, the quicker you will lose."
