Jongin entered the room with a folder in his hand. He gave it to Sooyoung who opened it.
Sooyoung checked the report and the pictures of the knife block and the knife in question. She then closed the folder again.
"Are you sure you don't want a lawyer, Miss Han?" Sooyoung asked the woman sitting in front of her.
The young woman kept staring quietly at her table. Sooyoung looked at the mirror.
Taeyeon knew what the look meant. She took out her phone and dialed. "Hello? Hyoyeon? Hi, it's Taeyeon."
"Hey, Taeyeon. What's up?" Hyoyeon cheerfully answered.
"I need another favor. Are you still doing pro bono work?" Taeyeon asked. "Of course. Got a potential client for me?"
"Yeah. Can you come down to the station now? This woman's being charged with the murder of an ex-colleague who happens to be a friend of her ex-boyfriend."
"That sounds complicated and not to mention strange. What's her motive?" Hyoyeon asked.
"That's what we're trying to find out. Sooyoung's interrogating her and she hadn't said a word. I don't think she can afford a lawyer with her secretary salary," Taeyeon explained.
"You don't think she's guilty?"
"Oh she's guilty for sure but I think she wasn't in her right mind when she did it. It seems so out of character," Taeyeon said. "I'm not even sure it was pre-meditated."
"I'm on my way. I happen to be in the area anyway." "Thanks, Hyoyeon."
"No problem. See ya in a bit."
Taeyeon hung up and tapped the mirror lightly.
Sooyoung heard it. "Wait here then Miss Han. Your lawyer will be right with you." She tapped Jongin's shoulder and they both left the room.
Taeyeon used the opportunity to make another phone call. "Hey, where are you?" "Home. Where else?" Tiffany answered.
"Is Sunny or Jessica there?" "No."
"Call one of them over."
"I'm fine, Taeyeon-ah. The door's locked and there's nobody here," Tiffany said. "Why are you so stubborn?"
"Why are you so stubborn?" Tiffany was smiling to herself. "I'm okay, Taeyeon. Please don't worry. Just come home soon. You need to rest."
Taeyeon involuntarily smiled when she heard that. She fully realized that she had stopped coming home to an empty and quiet apartment since Tiffany moved in but those words held another meaning to them after the past few days and she felt happy hearing them. "I'll be fine. I'm waiting for Hyoyeon so we can start interrogating this Han Gayoong. I'll go straight home after that."
