Law and Love (Showki fanfic)

Ch. 8: Business

Kihyun

*knocking*

~8:00 a.m.~

"Come in," I yawned after drinking a sip of my morning coffee. Why is someone here to bother me already?

*door opens*

"Good mornin,' partner," Hyunwoo says as he walks in with two cups of coffee. "I brought you a cup...," he began to say before looking at the mug in my hand. "Oh, you got one already," he mumbles as he sits down in the chair in front of me.

"No worries. I will drink it too. My coffee needs some coffee. Thank you," I said as I took the other cup and add its contents to my mug. 

"Okay....then.... we got a list of potential suspects for the case we are working on. I narrowed it down by half. My captain wanted me to come over and ask you to help interrogate them," he says as he drinks his coffee.

"You came over to tell me just that. How nice of you," I smirked.

"Indeed," he says with tight smile.

"Well, let's go get to work."

"Jerk," he mutters under his breath.

"I heard that," I chuckled as  I enjoyed how annoyed he was. 

~at the precinct~ 

"Jeon Jiseok. 35 years old. He is the ex boyfriend of the victim. Rumors have it that you were abusive to your ex girlfriend. Neighbors have reported that they heard yelling often from your apartment," I said after I read his file.

"That's all hearsay. Those geezers and dumb asses know nothing. Our relationship was FINE," he yells.

"I would disagree. Here in the records for the doctor that she sees, she suffered from a broken jaw and several blows to the torso while you two were dating. Plus, her friends say that...," I said.

"Bull shit. Don't listen to those women. They do nothing, but gossip and make up stories. Jiyeon was clumsy. She falls all the time," he spat out making tiny drops of saliva hit my face. I grimaced in disgust, but quickly bit back the unprofessional words that I was about to say before I  took out the baby pink handkerchief from my suit pocket and wiped it off. 

"You see, Jeon Jiseok ssi. Acting like this isn't going to convince me that you didn't do anything," I said with my customer service smile or as Hyungwon calls it the 'Devil's smile.'  Kihyun, this is just business. Don't snap at him. Calm down. You can do this. Just business. 

"Then, if you will, please tell me where you were on September 9th around 7:00 p.m. to Midnight," I said slowly as I tapped my fingers on the metal table in front of me seeing as he was being difficult.
