Section 11 (UNEDITED)

“If anything had happened in here, I’m sure someone would know, but no one knows where they are? This is so obvious.”

“Yes, someone must be lying.”

Walking out of the well-organized garden, Jude nodded. Two people from the same family were extremely unlikely to be caught by the kidnapper at random in other places outside. That’s two days apart, too. That means it narrows down to neighbours, relatives, and family. However, if everyone is like “I don’t know” all along, then there is a person who hides their evil intention with a friendly mask.

“Let’s look at one house at a time. There must be something unusual.”

“Oh, it’s hot…… eh?”

Jude, who was sighing as he struggled through his not-so-short hair, stopped for a moment when he saw two children walking into the garden. A girl with neatly braided long brown hair and a slightly bigger boy came in holding her hand. The two children hesitated to come to the front of Jude and Tim, but after a pause in indecision, the boy soon opened his mouth.

“Well, who are you?”

“We’re cops, are you the children of this house?”

When Tim lowered his eyes on the same level as the boy with a soft smile and asked, the boy nodded slowly. He looks about eleven years old, and the girl probably three or four years younger than him.

“I’m Luke, and this is my younger sister Anne. Hey, are you here for Grandpa and Jane? Did you find them?”

“No, I’m sorry. We just got here because your mom called us. Now that I’m going to investigate, did anything unusual happen on the day your grandfather or Jane disappeared? Something different from usual or maybe someone hasn’t come back since they went somewhere.

The boy shook his head as he pondered hard, frowning his brows.

“No, I’m sorry. I don’t know. I went to school in the morning. But Jane’s school ends at a different time, so I don’t know.”

“……. Okay, I got it.”

“Jane and Grandpa went to heaven.”

With the slightly inarticulate pronunciation of the child that suddenly popped out, everyone’s eyes were on the little girl. Holding her brother’s hand tightly, the braided brown hair girl once again opened her cute mouth to everyone’s surprise and spoke clearly.

“Jane and Grandpa have gone to a good place. If it’s been so long since they’ve gone missing, they’ve already gone to heaven, Mr Melvin next door said, and he said they went to a good place.”

“Anne, stop it.”

As Luke shook her hand a few times, Anne looked up at Luke and filled her face with indignation. Her small lips pouted out.

“Really! That’s why everyone next door, Mrs Sarkozy's…”

“Stop it, Anne! I’ll tell Mom!”

At the sound of the boy’s screams, Anne turned red as her cheeks twitched several times. Tears quickly settled in her brown eyes. Tim hurriedly patted the girl on the head, saying, “Come on, don’t cry, you’re a good child,” and he said to Luke, “Take good care of your mom.” And while greeting goodbye, Jude was, ironically, already a certain distance from them.

Watching his friendly partner greet the children from the other side, Jude waved his hand halfheartedly and left the Rice Mansion before Tim did.

Tim then came running while shouting “Jude, hey, dude!” and slapped him on the back.

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 8 (UNEDITED) Back at the police station, Jude first found a piece of paper on the desk before requesting the case file. With a note on his desk, Jude unwittingly opened it. And on that piece of paper, as soon as he saw the sharp, neat handwriting he had seen before, Jude tilted his head a little. Tim, who was looking for the case file instead of his partner, looked at his appearance and came to him with a little curiosity. “What’s wrong? What’s that?” “Ah. Well…..it’s nothing. What time do they want me to come back for the interrogation?” “Again? Aren’t you tired of them? Oh, and among the people involved, Mr Zegens seemed to be staying at a motel right next to here, and he wouldn’t be able to go home, so they sent him there alone. It must be very traumatic to him.” “Well, I suppose so. I, I’m going to go somewhere for a while.” Folding the sheet of paper into his pocket, Jude smiled at Tim. Naturally, Tim’s face is mixed wi

Prev Chap Next Chap Section 2 (UNEDITED) “Oh, I give up. I can’t. That guy, he doesn’t want to say anything in the first place.” “But he says he's only going to talk to you.” White shirt and black suit pants. Looking at the tall, well-defined man with a weary look as he make coffee with a coffee pot in the corner of the prison, he soon asked his partner with a worried face. “Did he threaten you or something? Like he’ll get his friends out there and get revenge.” “Oh? No, he didn’t say that. Oh, I actually received a confession.” “……What?” Tim, who looked at Jude's green eyes for a moment, asked back in a dazed voice. Jude, who was tilting his coffee cup –“Oh, hot!”– answered dryly, blowing his coffee enthusiastically. “He likes me. He says I'm similar to him.” “He... Did he say that?” “What, what’s with your face? You don’t think I would have accepted that confession, do you? Tim. You know I only have you.” While touching his chin with a

Prev Chap Next Chap Section 59.1 (UNEDITED) Alvin, who nodded readily at Jude's words to not draw blood in whatever his way is, began to look in every corner of the room. Every gap in the shelf in the corner of the wall, and even the window frame. There seemed to be a clicking sound as he scrutinizes everything. Jude sat on an antique chair staring at the fireplace in the reception room, while the rarely flickering pale blue-grey eyes looked around George's body. There was a conflict between the reason as a detective to help Alvin and the instinct that he did not need any help, especially from a detective who is not normal now. And beyond the collision, there was an unknown sense of fear and avoidance of that fireplace. In other words, Jude now was a little distracted.   Then you can get out of here, right? A ridiculous voice whispered in his head. Where am I going when I go out? Anywhere. You just have to stay out of the people’s eye

Prev Chap Next Chap Section 3 (UNEDITED) “………” Tim, who was behind the wheel, glanced back at his silent partner and became worried. Jude looks tired and almost like he wanted to sleep as he tilted his body at an angle, squeezed his chin, and looked into the air with an expressionless face. Five years since becoming his partner, he knows that such expressions were very rare - and it was quite rare for Jude to be angry or displeased - and  I’m not used to him looking like that. You shouldn’t have let him in alone to talk to that kind of guy. Feeling a little remorse, Tim asked, turning the steering wheel. “Are you all right?” “………” “Jude.” “Oh, yeah. I’m all right. Just a little bit…… weird.” “Weird? What is it.” “See you again at the end, the last time Alvin said it. Something’s a little…….. Come to think of it now, it’s kind of unusual.” “Why? Isn’t that what he said because he knew you’d come to interrogate him again?” “No, it’s not that…… it’s a feel
