Section 28 (UNEDITED)

[-Well, I don't know why you called me here, but I have nothing to do with this!]

[There's testimony that all of the three dead kids were close to you, but you have nothing to do with it? You as a teacher has nothing to do with their deaths?]

[Oh, don't talk nonsense. I was close to them, and they indeed consulted me. But I've never said anything crazy to them that it's better to die. It's true.]

A man with a half-bald head, to a small degree, was making a nervous expression. Tim, who was looking from outside the interrogation room at the scene of the man raising his thin silver-rimmed glasses that kept flowing down, narrowed his eyebrows. Beckman was heated up - anyway, that's the only clue to explain this - but there seemed to be little harvest yet. While touching his chin, Tim headed to Jude, sitting in a lax position next to him.

"How do you see it? Is he lying?"

"Well, maybe."

"If not, there's a slim chance. A teacher who was spreading pessimism to his students, did he influence them unintentionally?"

"Well, maybe."

"......Jude. Be a little bit motivated."

Stretching out on the chair, the blond detective shook his hand to reach for Tim without even turning his head. There was a distinct annoyance on his face.

"Why, it's not even our case."

"If we've helped this much, the case is pretty much in our hands already, and with the kids dying like this, don't you feel like solving it?"

Speaking a little bit intensely, Jude glanced at Tim and put his hand on his stomach with a pitiful look on his face.

"Sorry, Tim. I'm a little sick right now."

"…….I’m speechless."

[Ah, I'm a teacher. I just told the children some of the philosophers’ ideas according to my teaching perspective! That's not how the kids die, okay? God, no way they died because of me! They are not old enough to understand Schopenhauer's ideas deeply!]

The man's cry was pathetic--and increasingly devoid of confidence in himself. Tim's face was darkened. It was a very unpleasant incident. If he was the main culprit, wouldn't it mean that he killed three children without realizing it? Can we accuse such a person of murder? Many thoughts confused his mind.

In Jude's pocket, sighing a little as he watched the tedious battle, the cell phone cried dryly.

"What, I told you not to call me when I’m working."

His sudden voice wasn't very friendly, and Tim frowned at the thought of the debt-ridden friend. He is such a nuisance.

"......Ah. I know. To some extent. But........ Oh, I'm tired. Why do you want me to do that? I'm not doing it........ Ah, okay. I'm hanging up.”

Jude, who closed his flip phone, sighed for a long time while looking at the ceiling. After a few times roughly messing his dishevelled hair, Jude jerked his head away before Tim could ask about the phone call.

"Tim, I'm going out. I have something to look for."

"Ah? Oh, yeah."

Tim, who stood up and stared at the back of Jude opening the door looking a little annoyed for a while, soon turned back to the interrogation room with his arms folded. He wondered if he was going to negotiate because of that friend who kept bothering him, but now the man in front of him was more urgent.

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 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 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 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
