Chapter 5 - CHAPTER -5- THE MAZE

The doctor comes out of the O.P and asks for the man's guardian. Detective Kim steps forward as he wasn't able to call the man's family since he was in a rush.

" Is the patient's family here?"

" Not yet, you can talk to me, I am the detective in charge"

" Thankfully he made it out alive, if you were even a minute late we could have lost him. The patient's condition is yet to say, he is in a coma right now, only time can say if he will recover or not"

Detective Kim, In-ha, and Ji-chul are devastated and don't know what to tell to his family. detective Kim asks In-ha if she could help in making a sketch of the suspect, but In-ha barely remembers his face.

" Try thinking harder In-ha, we can't let a person like him roam in our society." detective Kim said

In-ha is trying her best to recall and then suddenly notices something.

" Ji-chul, it's that guy, the guy in whose memory I saw my parents in"

" Are you sure? We don't want to get the wrong guy, do we?"

" As for now I think it's him, moreover he is wearing the same dress from that day"

* Detective Kim looks confused* " What are you both going on about?"

" We'll explain later, I guess I kind of know what he looks like"

" YOU PIECE OF TRASH! HOW COME YOU NEVER GET YOUR JOB DONE WITHOUT ANY TROUBLE!!!!!!!! If this time the police catch onto something..... I'll kill you and throw you into some sea"

" S-s-sorry chairman, please give me one last chance, I will do my best chairman SHIN!"

" GET LOST THIS INSTANT!"

*door closes*

" Why does he have a nasty temper when I am the one who does all the dirty work for that no good old geezer, what an arrogant jerk, let's see if you will be safe by deciding to discard me" *smirk*

The chairman throw's all his files that were on the desk, He is furious that his perfectly planned work was interrupted.

*At the police station*

" I looked into his personal details, He is a prosecutor in Seoul central district prosecutor's office, this is no small case, the attack was against a prosecutor, I don't think this will die just like that"

" Prosecutor?" Both In-ha and Ji-Chul asked with shocked expressions on their faces.

" Yes, A prosecutor, why are you both shocked. Is something wrong?"

" Did you look into my dad's case and the accident case that I had asked?"

" I did look into your dad's case, It is as I said before, murder covered as a suicide"

" Why do you think that my dad was murdered, you said there weren't any evidences"

" It's because they did sloppy work covering up the case, There were 7 stab marks on his abdomen and a strangle mark on his neck, but he died by falling from a rooftop, Do you think a person with common sense would believe it unless they are pretending not to know anything? It's a fact that he died by falling from the rooftop, But it is also a fact that he was assaulted before that, even after being stabbed 7 times he didn't die, which means he tried to survive till the last."

" I will make sure to catch those jerks, what about the other case?"

" I looked into that too, but there are no records on the person who hit the car, the case was just registered as a hit and run, they were let off after just paying a fine."

" So what do you think? Is it just an accident or a planned murder"

" It wasn't just an accident for sure, since all the records on the murderer were wiped out as if it never existed"

" Do you think SQ has something to do with the cases regarding both our parents?"

" What makes you think so?"

" Think about it, both our parents were killed while working on a case related to SQ, both of them were covered up.... to add up, I just realized that both the accidents took place on the same day, almost at the same time."

" Did you just say SQ!??"

" Why? Does it ring bells?"

" The prosecutor who is in a coma right now was also dealing with a case related to SQ, it's just a rumor but I also heard that he had an argument regarding SQ with his superior on the day of the accident"

" WHAT! This all seems to make sense now, there's something more than just slush funds to SQ." *suspicious*

" It does seem staged, but I can't do anything if my superiors are helping SQ, they won't allow me to open this case again."

" It makes sense, this is why I never believe civil officers," In-ha says with a straight face.

" Not everyone is the same you know, even our dads were civil servants."

" umm.. well they are an exception."

*detective Kim feels abandoned* " What about me, I guess you both can no longer believe me... since I am also a CIVIL SERVANT?"

*awkward laugh* " Haha- we didn't mean like that, isn't it In-ha?"

" yea well, for now, I guess," In-ha said keeping a straight face.

*At the chairman's office*

*knock knock*

" Yes, come in."

" Chairman..."

" What is it?"

" Umm..well...There seems to be someone who is looking into the case from 5 years ago"

*chairman suddenly stops what he was doing*

"Which case?"

" The accident and the suicide..."

" WHAT! Who is it?!"

" It's one of the detectives who used to work with detective Hong, and I also heard that he has been meeting up with the kids of the prosecutor and detective recently."

" How dare those ignorant fools, they eat all the money I give them and instead of loyalty this what i get???!!!! Call the chief right now and ask him to take care of it this instant! Also tell him that if he causes any trouble to me, he'll end up behind the bars before me!"

" Calm down sir..."

" JUST DO WHAT I ASK YOU TO! Don't teach me how to do things!"

" Sorry, sir."

"Now get out!"

* the secretary leaves the office with an annoyed face*

" Does he have anger management issues, why is he getting pissed at me?"
