Section 27 (UNEDITED)

"-kreungkreung......"

"Why, it still hurts?"

They were about to get out of the school cafeteria but the catering man who recognized them did them a favour, telling them to just eat at school. Jude, who was spooning soup, grimaced and touched his stomach, causing anxiety on Tim's face. It was a pity to see Jude, who never said he was sick while eating strange junk food, moaning all day long, and Tim clicked his tongue with an unpleasant sound.

“I think you should go to the hospital. Seeing that it keeps hurting, I really don't even know where it could have gone wrong.”

"Yes, well... If I have time...."

"Not when you have time, make sure you go. You don't look so good, just tell them you're in a hurry at the station and come back..."

"Well, excuse me--"

Hearing a small, cautious voice, Tim cut off his words and turned his head. Two girls and a boy stood side by side, one of whom has a memorable face to the two detectives.

"Clara? What's going on? And the others....."

"I'm Connie, this is Mary. Clara said she had something to say, so we came with her. Clara, come on."

When Connie poked Clara in the back, Clara looked back with a sneaky look at the boy and approached Tim while wincing.

"Well, you know, it might not be a big deal, but as you said earlier, is there any adult or anyone he’s recently gotten close to….."

"Oh, I did. Why, do you have anyone in your mind?"

"Well, it’s not a suspicious person, but there's one person I've been seeing recently who suddenly got close to Reeve, but, I didn't think it was weird because it was a teacher..."

"Really? It's all right, who is it? Do you know what kind of person are they?"

The child soon looked at the floor as if she was scared to speak. Clara then raised her round eyes, as if she had made up her mind to the soft-spoken Tim.

"He’s a social science teacher, and his name is Lance Hamilton. Well, he’s been talking to Reeve a lot lately, and I......I don't know about Carrie, who died the second, but he was also close to Eli. I, I don't think he’s a weirdo, but I just thought I'd have to tell you."

"Well, what kind of person is he?"

"He talked a lot about difficult philosophies. Yeah, pe, pessimism? He said that and he talked a lot about what it is to live and die, and it's so difficult that I don't understand everything, but I think he’s a bit of an unusual person."

"Yes......I got it. Thank you for coming to tell me. How did you know we were here?"

The twin-ponytailed girl smiled a little shyly and held her hands together.

"I asked the teacher, and the teacher said you were heading toward the cafeteria. Hey, I'm going to get going now. The class is starting."

"Okay, go ahead. To the other kids, I hope you don't say anything."

"Yes, goodbye!"

Listening to Connie and Mary's scolding--"Are you dragging both of us to say that?"-- Clara turned her steps with a much brighter face. To Jude, who was still gently patting his stomach, Tim quickly turned his head and opened his mouth.

"What do you say, should we summon him and investigate?"

"......then..........we have a reason......... kreung to hand it over to Beckman, and let's go back separately. I'm going to take a break....."

"I'll keep in touch with Beckman. By the way, do you really not have to go to the hospital?"

"Yes........ I'm feeling better now. Let's go, I'll get better after a little rest."

What a dubious answer. Tim tilted his head with a discomforting look on his face, but Jude rose from his seat with an unfinished bowl of soup without saying anything. As he stared at the quivering back for a moment, Tim shook his head and pulled his cell phone out of his pocket.

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
