Chapter 9 - CHAPTER -9- THE MAZE

*BANG*

Ji-chul was knocked unconscious on the ground, the person who had attacked him from behind took away the only evidence that could prove chairman Shin guilty, the phone. Ji-chul was on the ground when he gained consciousness, he called detective Kim but couldn't speak. Detective Kim noticed that something wasn't right and started searching for Ji-chul, he finally found Ji-chul unconscious on a road near his house.

Ji-chul was suddenly taken to the E.R, his wound had to be stiched and he had to be hospitalized for a few days. The next day Ji-a came to know about what had happened and rushed to the hospital where Ji-chul had been hospitalized.

" Ji-chul!" Ji-a barged into Ji-chul's room. " What happened to you? Who did this? when did all this happen? It's all because of me, I shouldn't have let you go alone."

" Calm down, I am totally fine, see nothing's happened to me."

" You call 12 stitches ok?"

" Leave that aside, the person who attacked me took the phone..."

" WHAT! What do we do now, that was the only evidence that could bring chairman Shin down, I am sure that this is his doing, who else would need something like that. Did you see the person who attacked you?"

" I was attacked from behind, I did see his face but since I was half unconscious and my vision was blurry I can't clearly tell what he looks like."

" Maybe I can help?"

" How?"

" Your memories, Let me have a look, you just have to think about when you saw him."

" ok."

In-ha holds Ji-chul's hand and tries to look into his memories, She sees Ji-chul getting hit, and falling down, she tries to see the person's face, since the memories were blurry she wasn't able to see the face properly, but she saw a scar on his face and this was enough for her to tell who it was.

In-ha is suddenly kicked out of Ji-chul's memories. She looked pale and her nose was bleeding, Ji-chul freaked out seeing her nose bleed, he suddenly called a doctor to take a look at her. The doctor said that she was tired and overstraining herself, he asked In-ha to take a rest and not to overwork herself.

Ji-chul has been glaring at In-ha for the past 30 minutes.

*feels the intense glare* " What are you looking at?"

" Do you really not know? Why don't you take care of yourself"

" Stop being dramatic, I will be fine after a nap, in fact, I am already feeling good"

" Ya whatever as if you listen to anyone."

" That aside, When is detective Kim coming?"

" He'll be here soon, he went to check the CCTV footage of the place where I got attacked."

" I see, we have got things to discuss."

" Ah wait, were you able to see who the person who attacked me was?"

" I couldn't see his face clearly but I know who it is."

" How do you know?"

" Cause I am smart?"

" What a joke!"

" A scar, that man had a scar on his face, and the man I bumped into also had a scar on his face, the person who tried to kill the prosecutor also had a scar on his face."

" In short, the person who murdered your parents?"

" Bingo!"

*detective Kim arrives*

The three of them start discussing about the person who had attacked Ji-chul, detective Kim asks In-ha if she can help with drawing a composite sketch of the suspect.

In-ha and detective Kim head to the police station, they both are aware that there are people watching them. They finally get the composite sketch done and put it up it up on the wanted list.

Detective Kim looks him up on the police system, But he doesn't find any criminal records on him. After investigating for a few days he finds the suspects name and whereabouts, He heads to In-ha and Ji-chul to tell them that he found out about the suspect.

*At the chairman's office*

" Good evening chairman, arsonist park is here to see you."

" Let him in."

*bows* " Sir I think I need to lay low for some time, the police have me on the wanted list I think the kids and detective Kim are working together.... "

" Hmm, I'll ask secretary kim to give you a place for the time being, and good job with the phone."

" Thank you chairman"

" You still like to make trouble huh? Remember that this is you last chance."

" Yes sir, I will keep that in mind"

" You can go now."

*shut* " He didn't even notice that I am taping him" *smirk*

" What should I do with him chairman?"

" Let's keep him around for a while and then discard him."

Arsonist park gets furious on hearing this, he rushes home and gather sall the evidences he had on doing all the dirty work for the chairman and keeps them safe in a locker, He would use it against Chairman Shin to keep himself safe.

*at the hospital*

" How are you feeling now?" detective Kim asks Ji-chul

" I am totally fine, they said I can go home tomorrow."

" Did you inform your mother about all this mess?"

" He didn't, he didn't want her to worry.." In-ha said

" She'd come running here if I told her, Don't let her know uncle, pls?"

" Fine, I won't , anyways I am here to give a good news, we have identified the suspect"

" What? really?" both In-ha and Ji-chul asked.

" That was pretty fast"

" Thanks to me working overtime, So his name is Park Woo-seok, he is an arsonist and contractkiller, he is in his early 30's, But there is one thing that is fishy about him, his criminal record is clear and his lawyers were always from well known law firms."

" That means SQ's got his back.."

" But this time he has created big trouble for Chairman Shin, from his character I don't think he plans on keeping this guy alive for too long."

*RING*

" Hold on let me take this call."

" Yes go ahead." In-ha and Ji-chul said

--

" Yes, I am detective Kim"

" Hello I am prosecutor Jung's wife, I never got a chance to thank you for saving my husband"

" I was just doing my job.. It's nothing big."

" Thanks to you, he has gained consciousness.."

" What? He woke up?"
