Section 9 (UNEDITED)

The aftermath is, somehow, over. There was recorded evidence, and although there was a little gap, Jude’s explanation was considered sufficiently understandable as circumstantial evidence. When asked by his chief, “So, this guy talked about his childhood, threatened you, and then stabbed himself in the neck and took his own life?” there’s a pang of small guilt in Jude’s heart, who casually replied, “Yes.” The police were satisfied that they had solved a terrible incident, and Jude had no major distress… …no, it seemed unlikely. It was rather Tim that bothered Jude a lot. Tim, who had been running after hearing about his partner on the cell phone, shrieked as soon as he found out that he was safe, and this freaked Jude out.

“Are you stupid?! If you had guessed, you should have come with me, why put yourself in such a place alone!”

“Huh? Ah, so, Tim…”

“Are you the only detective? Are you the only detective? Was I that unreliable? Is that why you went alone?”

“No, Tim, it’s not like that…”

Staring at his angry partner, Jude scratched his cheek and said in an unkind, intimidating voice.

“Oh, I’m sorry, I was just going to record the evidence, but I didn’t know it was going to change all of a sudden, and I thought I’d better go by myself… Well, and, you know, if you think of him as the culprit, you’re going to be too nice, and honest, so you’re going to make it obvious, and if we both go, we’re going to put too much pressure on him to turn around……I didn’t mean anything bad.”

Looking at Jude for a long time, Tim sighed like a parent with a problem child, then reached out his big, greasy hand and flicked at Jude’s forehead. “Next time, just let me know what’s going on. If you don’t come back after a long time, I’ll go as a backup.” Jude smiled feeling a little sorry and nodded.

On this slightly cloudy and steaming day, it was nice to be able to close the case and relax with the coffee and sandwiches in your hands, but one voice lingered in his ears. A quiet blue-grey eyes voice, not a despondent and deranged self-confession of the criminal.

Where there’s an interesting sense of murder.

“In the end, what you want is a stimulus…”

In a slightly sleepy voice, he murmured a word insignificantly, and Jude bit the sandwich down.

-It wasn’t much later that Jude was swept away by the so-called ‘interesting sense of murder.’

It is of course rare for a serial killer to remain in the dark and not be left as an important character in a book of criminal psychology. However, there are certainly serial killers who commit murders secretly and in quiet, inconspicuous ways. Also, their methods are very diverse, and when they are attracted to one particular method, they are very obsessed with it. There are various methods of murder, such as poisoning, strangulation, and smashing, but what is certain is that there is no such thing as humane murder……

-Hello.

Of course, I’m still travelling. I think it’s true that travelling is better than staying at home. There’s a lot more to see and a lot more fun things to do. Rather, it’s better now than before. I have a better appetite now. I think I’ve found something more interesting these days, so I’m just watching. I hope it doesn’t turn boring too early. I’m hoping you’ll have more fun than the guy you used to be, but I don’t know. I haven’t seen you for a while, so I wonder how you are. Let’s meet sometime if you don’t mind. Of course, I will have to pick it up from my side. I still don’t hate you being a detective. Then, I’ll write to you again.

– Alvin Jones.

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 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.

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 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
