Chapter 15 - CHAPTER -14- THE MAZE

" He wouldn't be that careless, and if he hid it at home, there is no point in us searching for it... chairman Shin's men must have already destroyed everything."

" Ummm, I don't know if this will help or not I saw him keeping a black bag in one of the lockers by the subway... and this one is pretty strange, for some reason I saw a number code tattooed on his hand"

" Hmmm, subway locker makes sense. The number code could either be the locker number or the password... don't worry if something like that does exist I'll get my hands on it!"

" It was too long for a locker number, I guess it is the password..."

" I'll return to the station, for now, it must be hectic over there, about the subway we'll start searching for that too."

" Ok" In-ha said

" And take care of yourself, avoid bumping into people..."

" I am not a kid, I can take care of myself."

" Then I'll get going, bye"

" Bye." In-ha and Ji-chul said

Detective Kim returns to his station and starts working on the case again, It's already 5 am, he hasn't slept for almost a week, Just as he was about to call the forensics he got a call from them, they asked him to come and collect the results. Detective Kim runs over to the forensics and goes through the reports, as he had guess arsonist Park died due to losing too much blood, he asks the surgeon if he could have a look at the body. He goes in and starts searching for the tattoo, he finds a tattoo on his right hand, they were a number code, he took down the code and headed back to the station. After reaching back to the station, he decided that he would find the locker by himself because he thought he couldn't trust anyone but him.

Meanwhile, In-ha is still under daily checkups, Ji-chul is always at the hospital taking care of In-ha, they still are keeping eye on chairman Shin's moves.

'Chairman Shin of SQ group gives out 10 million won to 6 orphanages.....'

" Tsk- Look at him trying to show off his money, OLD FART!" In-ha says in anger " Charity, does he feel that he is a kind man by doing all these?"

" Just publicity, He is going to run for the presidential elections, he just wants to look appealing so that he can become the president and mess with the country more."

" WHAT? PRESIDENT!? Why didn't I know that we can't let a person like him become the president.... the country is going to be a mess if so."

" It was all over the news that he is going to run for the president and it's most likely that he is going to win... all the big media are in his favor."

*sigh* " Why is he so hard to take down"

" Because he has money and power to play with? The world is a jungle, survival of the strongest, the strong ones prey on the weaker ones, and the weaker ones? well they just keep their mouths shut"

" But there are people who come in between the strong and the weak, they quietly sit in the corner and attack the strong when they get a chance..."

*smirk* " Time for lunch"

" What's for lunch?"

" Jajangmyeon and tangsuyuk ( black bean noodle and sweet and sour pork)."

" WOW! What a nice day to be alive...." *smile*

" Just minutes ago you were swearing at chairman Shin, look at you know.."

" That's called being professional"

" Don't kid yourself, professional my foot. You know what, just eat."

*tsk* *inhales the food*

" Eat slowly, the food ain't going anywhere"

" I have to eat more cause I am sick!"

*whispers* " You will end up sick after eating like that"

" Did you say something?"

" Nothing at all..."

*detective Kim walks in*

" Hi uncle."

" Hi kids, how are you In-ha? Feeling better?"

" Yes yes, I am feeling totally fine"

" How is the investigation going?" Ji-chul asks

" No leads, it's pretty hectic, to add on we have a new chief coming in"

" I hope he is a good person..." In-ha says

" So we know the murderer but can't catch him. What a bummer"

" He made sure to avoid all the surveillance cameras, I saw a few cars around, I'll ask them for the dashcam footage, I hope I get something from that."

" What about the locker?" In-ha asks

" I have searched every possible subway, no clues at all, I am starting to think that it's not the locker."

" What if that code is for something else?"Ji-chul suggests

" Like?" In-ha asks

" I don't know, I was just stating a possibility."

" If it wasn't a locker, why would his memories show me that, why was his last memory the locker and the code?"

" Did you perhaps miss on something?" Ji-chul asks In-ha

" How could I possibly miss something this important..."

" Try thinking again, memories always don't pass on to us in order, they can be mixed up"

" The locker, bag...he got into a car, drives... looks at an electricity pole?"

" Electricity pole?" Detective Kim asks

" Can I see that number?"

Detective Kim pulls out his diary and searches for the number.

" Here it is."

In-ha looks at the number carefully and tries to remember the number she saw in the memory.

" This is it! It's the number on the electricity pole! But what could the electricity pole mean?"

" To know that we'll have to find where this electricity pole is located. I'll find it, we can go there after you are discharged since I'll need your help too."

" Nice idea, it's boring just lying down here all day"

" That is why you should be more careful." Ji-chul says

" Detective Kim, can you do me a help and throw him out of here, he doesn't stop nagging, he just nags all day long."

" You both are childish"

*hmph*

" Whatever" In-ha says in an irritated tone

" Anyways we will have to speed up things from now, chairman Shin is standing for the presidential elections, things will go out of hand once he becomes the president."

" Yes, we saw the news... We can't let someone like him be the president"

" We got the chief, next on the list is..... Chief prosecutor?" In-ha asks

" Bingo!" detective Kim says

" So when are we going to start?" Ji-chul asks
