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

It was suspicious seeing that he was wiping under his nose with a handkerchief instead of his forehead thinking that he might hurt somewhere. Jude, who was about to put a canapé in his mouth, said to him. "Lyle, are you okay? You don't look good." "Huh? Uh-huh. It's just that there's a little bit of a problem with the business." "What about George? Is he still up there?" "Yes. He, he’s pretty upset talking on the phone, I came down first." His voice was unstable. He's working with George, and he's being abused like Cinderella? When Jude raised one eyebrow curiously, Lyle's eyes shook nervously at what Jude might interpret it as. "Why, why? Is there a problem?" "No, it's not a problem....&quo

"What are you talking about? You said I could come, didn't you? I’ve talked to the director and seeing that I'm off duty, I have to come and see her. Oh, are they your friends?" "Eh? Oh, yes. I’m Kate Layton. You’re Jude's..." "Co-worker. You can say I’m his partner." My partner is a dark brown-haired and warm-hearted nice guy, not a fox like this. Jack, who couldn't tell what was going on inside his head, smiled gladly and asked him while shaking their hands. "Hey, this guy looks like he's in quite a different standard to be Jude's partner. Hey, Jude. What happened?" "What the hell, what different standards." "No, it's becaus

The letters were a little twisted as if they asked the children to write them. Jude, who was looking at the primary coloured balloons and banners shaking slightly in the cold weather, soon sighed briefly and entered the front yard of the orphanage. A few people were moving around busily outside, but they didn't seem to care too much about Jude. Could they be the event helpers? Giving a glimpse of them, Jude moved slowly toward the closed door. There was a faint noise coming from inside. It seemed that the people who would gather inside had already gathered around. The hand that tried to knock on the door hesitated for a moment. "...... chett ." Jude, who made a short, unpleasant so

An hour after eating madly spicy curry with Tim and constantly crying and cursing Dawson, the blond detective sat on his old apartment sofa with a grim face waiting for something. The pose with crossed arms and legs did not look very comfortable. When Jude’s ears detected a familiar echo, as he was tapping the floor with his feet, Jude opened his cell phone without hesitation and spat out bluntly. "Who do you think you are? Why the background checks?" [Fierce reaction. I just talked to Mary for a while. Don’t be angry.] "And what, Joan Nelvis? What is that childish anagram? (anagram: rearranging the alphabet of a word or phrase to create another word or phrase) Do you think you're some kind of classic mystery character?" [Oh, my. Oh, my. Calm down, Jude. I really didn't cause any trouble. You know best

How come you find it harder to talk to a counsellor for an hour than a few hours of catching a robber?" Tim giggled and turned the steering wheel smoothly. Jude, who was drooping like a soft-boiled yolk on the passenger seat of Tim’s slowly-moving-car mumbled in a dying voice. After visiting the FBI New York branch and undergoing interrogations with a counsellor, it was already dark in the evening. "They’re asking, asking, and asking again and again... I'm really tired. It's a conversation that doesn't have any substance. Anyway, thank you for giving me a ride." "What. It's almost time to finish work anyway. It's not far away. Aren't you hungry? What do you want to eat?" "Tim... Tim is my angel from heaven. You know I sometimes take it seriously
