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

BBDW 80 [END] [Black Butterfly] - Nevereverland

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

BBDW 3 [Black Butterfly] - Nevereverland

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
