Section 4 (UNEDITED)

"You’re here!"

The prison was a complete mess. The sound of running around, interrogating, and shouting out the truth that no one knows was everywhere. When the person in charge popped out, Tim’s voice rose unconsciously.

“What the hell happened? How could a guard bring such a felon out of the dangle and monitor him so poorly!”

“I, I don’t know………. I’m investigating right now, but the guard is already dead……there’s another reason why I called you in a hurry.”

“What is it? Is there a bigger reason than that?”

With the face of a person who has been disturbed by sleep for a week, Jude asked. Feeling a little bemused, the manager hurriedly moved his hand through his pocket. Soon what came to his hand was an envelope of evidence, and as the two detectives mysteriously looked with their eyes, the person in charge opened it with a slightly trembling hand and held it out in front of their eyes. Tim opened his mouth suspiciously.

“……letter, is it?”

“Yes, I think it was probably left for Detective Jude…”

The writing was short.

-See you again. I’ll write to you, Detective J. I wasn’t joking.

As soon as they checked the content, Tim turned to Jude reflexively. On his expressionless face, not a change can be seen. It’s the first time I’ve seen his face like this twice a day. Clenching his molars, Tim looked back at the note written in concise and elegant handwriting. A chill ran through his spine. It was ringing, the bell that signifies the new act.

The press has waned a little. It was, of course, a big news, that a serial killer who instilled irrational fears in people that a young man he met on the street was more likely to die than the chance of dying in a traffic accident. However, after he escaped from prison, the police have not been able to achieve anything, and the escaped criminal also hasn’t done anything for about a month or so. People were still a little nervous, but little by little they forgot about it. At the morning show, he occasionally appeared and made headlines, and it seemed that Alvin Jones, the cause behind articles criticizing the incompetent police on the news, could no longer be a daily threat as before.

Working on the police side was actually much busier than that, but one thing is for certain, one detective who arrested Alvin Jones had a taste of hell. As soon as the news of Alvin Jones’ escape from prison came in, Jude was almost taken away and forced to have an interrogation-like conversation for several days.

‘Didn’t he hint at you the last time you spoke to him?’ ‘Why didn’t you take any precautions?’ ‘Why do you think he only asked to talk to you?’ ‘Did you have a personal acquaintance before?` `How do you think Alvin Jones escaped……’ Jude was on the verge of neurosis and Tim protested bitterly at the sight of his partner who couldn’t sleep well, but the logic was simple. “Is it a problem that he is tired when another person might die again?”

Most of the cases that have become serious have been handed over to the FBI, and little progress has been made since then. All kinds of speculation and unhelpful reports were going rampant, while the investigators’ nerves were getting tired of the malicious pranks of enthusiastic fans. Everyone couldn’t just hang on to this case, and there wasn’t enough manpower.

Around that time, a letter that Alvin Jones had promised arrived. When Jude, who had continued endless interrogations at the police station, returned to his post exhausted, there was a mail with his name written on his desk. The moment Jude, who was surprised to see the sender, said, “Alvin Jones….?” an investigator standing next to him snatched the letter. A little dazed, but Jude didn’t say much. It wasn’t the kind of letter he wanted to see anyway.

But when the investigator who snatched the letter from Jude went missing that night, Jude was a little flustered. And when the new letter was on the desk again, Jude put it in his pocket without telling his superior. Tim who knew the situation seemed a little worried but said nothing.

With so many heads in confusion, Jude and Tim were being called back to the scene with their guns loaded at the report of a new incident.

Next Chap 》 Section 1 (UNEDITED) Psychopath. Most serial killers fall under this category, and most of them carry out bizarre crimes for sexual pleasure or satisfaction. Because they cannot empathize with other people’s feelings, they inflict terrible pain upon others, but they don't feel any sympathy or compassion for that. They in fact enjoy it and even feel positive emotions in the act itself. What distinguishes them from ordinary criminals is that they have nothing rationally abnormal, and their problems are limited to ethical things. It can also be considered as a ‘morally-disabled-person’, and psychopath does not equate to low intelligence, rather, they have average or sub-intelligence. In reality, a serial killer with great intelligence, such as Hannibal Lecter, rarely exists. Typical psychopaths include Jack the Ripper of England and Ted Bundy of the United States, who liked to describe their crimes in detail with a sparse moral sense. But one thi

Prev Chap Next Book Epilogue (UNEDITED)   The weather was warm enough to be a little hot. Now the old woman, with light-grey strands began to mix in her hair, stopped her hands as she was pruning the garden and straightened her back for a while. Perhaps because of her age, her body, which used to be unaffected even after spending hours in the garden, was creaking strangely these days. After a few pats on the waist, she suddenly looked back on the quiet side of the road. It’s the suburb of Chicago and a man was walking carelessly on the road with few people coming and going. Dark blond hair and green eyes, he had only one small backpack on his shoulder. The old woman tilted her head. It was very rare for an outsider to enter this town. Glancing around and looking all over the place, he soon found the old woman and shouted and asked. "Well, which way do I have to go to get out of this

Prev Chap Next Chap Section 22.1 (UNEDITED) The static, hazy fluorescent light flickered once again. On this rainy night, the lights are likely to go out, accompanied by the sound of the wind outside the window, and the pleasant experience of a serial killer in the ear. If it’s a TV program, he would enjoy it with a glass of draft beer. With a small grumble, Jude leaned over the sofa and stretched his legs. The sound of rain blocked by the window hit the ear noisily. “Why?” [That would be better said later. Or the tension will lessen.] “Oh, you should be the movie director. So, what did you film at the beginning, director?” [The point here is, they weren’t closely related. Well, considering the grandfather’s big fortune, it wouldn’t have been too much. They were a little bit awkward since they don’t see each other much, and they were good at picking things up along the way. On the surface, they weren’t that bad, they were just polite people. When they m

Prev Chap Next Chap Section 23.1 (UNEDITED) "......Jude." "Huh?" "Don't you have anything to cook at home?" "Yes, I don't." "......do you live on beer?" The first time he set foot in Jude’s old apartment; it was the scene before his eyes that made Tim’s brain exploded before he could feel any appreciation. The clothes that were thrown away here and there, the fluorescent lights that flickered like the morgue lights, and most of all, the unbearable thing was the table with the beer cans lying here and there and on the cabinet. Whether or not he noticed that Tim’s face was slightly stiffened, Jude answered, throwing the house key roughly onto the table. "No, I eat peanuts, too." ".....let's go grocery shopping tomorrow when we come back." "No, Tim. Two men get misunderstood when they go grocery shopping." Giggling, Jude flopped down on the sofa. Avoiding clothes an

Prev Chap Next Chap Section 23.2 (UNEDITED) "Ah, no I'm not working. Stop it, my friend's here. He’s a cop? What, you want him to catch you? Yes, do this next time. No, that doesn't mean I’m going to pick up. Are you crazy? Do you want me to keep talking to someone else on the phone? Uh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm hanging up." He put down the receiver, and Jude flopped down next to Tim. After a moment of hesitation, Tim hemmed and hawed then opened his mouth. "Who is it?" "Oh, you know the guy whom I got the phone call from in front of Jeffrey before. He says he’s being chased for debt, but he keeps asking this poor policeman for help." "………. since when did you know each other?" Instead of answering, Jude stared at Tim with his green eyes unwittingly. At the sight, a fever rose as if the back of his head was burning. Trying to quell the heat, Tim picked up the beer can with little content left. He licke

Prev Chap Next Chap Section 24.1 (UNEDITED) The hinges of the rusty door made an irritating sound. Being used to it, Jude kicked the door half-heartedly and closed it. A pale fluorescent light, like a dead fish eye, lit the room slightly. An envelope containing some food recipe was thrown carelessly over the sofa, and the blond detective settled on the sofa. After watching a baseball game with Jude yesterday, Tim, who slept comfortably in the squalid house, did not say he would come to Jude's house today seeing that things had been resolved. Jude was told to eat properly and was given a paper with a simple recipe when it was printed. And seeing Jeffrey come back and say, "Did you have something to say?" Tim seemed to have somehow found his backbone inside him. Recalling what he said to Tim last night, Jude looked down for a moment. Memories before ten years old. First scene. A girl caught by a robber. Alvin Jones. It was Alvin Jones after
