If Na Song-woon relied on the sleep-inducing drugs to a certain extent, Na Song-rim seemed to live on various hallucinations.
As time passed and Line’s suspicions seemed to be getting closer to the truth, Na Song-rim showed signs of losing concentration and becoming even more sensitive.
“Oh, I feel like I’m going crazy staying like this. Seriously, this is not a joke.”
Na Song-rim couldn’t stay still, as if something could happen at any moment.
“Prosecutor Jin, isn’t this investigation too intense? If you won’t release the handcuffs, please let him at least put his hands in front!”
“It seems like it might get dangerous from now on, but we can’t allow that.”
Seeing Na Song-rim, who was so restless that the person next to her became uneasy, the head of the legal department was genuinely surprised.
“Deputy Chief, are you okay?”
“Oh, I feel like I’m going crazy. Do it quickly and let me go!”
Na Song-rim, though reluctant, was handcuffed, but Line casually handed over some documents.
“Some of the money from the Central Strategy Office went into your pocket. What happened?”
Line had no intention of accommodating Na Song-rim’s restlessness. On the contrary, he calmly continued with his questions.
“Even if it’s money earned at our father’s company! What’s wrong with that? Since my brother manages all the money in Taesung, the money from the Central Strategy Office is separate…!”
The head of the legal department prevented Na Song-rim from speaking any further.
However, due to his emotionally unstable state, he was so agitated that he needed to be restrained. Even in the monitoring room, this situation was being anxiously observed.
“Deputy Chief, you need to calm down.”
“Director, I feel like I’m going crazy. Let me out quickly! Can’t you change the lead investigator? I told you not to let me bring that woman back to life!”
It was a similar slip of the tongue as before. Breaking the momentary silence, the head of the legal department stood up. He was trying to see Line’s laptop.
“What I just said was a mistake made in a state of mental instability. Delete it.”
“What mental instability?”
“How long has the interrogation been going on? Because Prosecutor Jin-rae is conducting an intense investigation, our deputy chief is feeling mentally unstable!”
It was a tearful loyalty. Regardless of what the head of the legal department said, Line diligently recorded Na Song-rim’s slips of the tongue.
“Ha… Director, please give me a cigarette.”
Even with handcuffs behind him, Na Song-rim found a cigarette. The now restless head of the legal department didn’t know what to do.
“Deputy Chief, it seems like it will be over soon. Please endure a little longer.”
Line scrutinized that face. If he could endure just a little more, he might hear something, but if he collapsed from shock, it could lead to a significant setback.
“Shall we end the investigation here today?”
It might be mistaken for consideration. Only then did color return to Na Song-rim’s face.
“Ha… That’s the most welcome thing I’ve heard today.”
“Oh, because the employees of the National Water Resources will be leaving work soon.”
Checking the time, Line stood up. Na Song-rim looked at her with a dubious expression.
“National Water Resources? What are you planning now?”
As Line left the interrogation room, a prosecutor’s office employee provided Na Song-rim with guidance on a drug test. As expected, he vehemently refused to take the test.
Although the head of the legal department managed to conclude the investigation after various twists and turns, now that things had come to this point, he couldn’t predict the extent of the repercussions this investigation would bring. He headed straight to the Taesung Art Museum.
“Madam, I can’t endure this any longer. Things are getting weird. The evidence the prosecution has is substantial, and they are unraveling it one by one. The charges are increasing, too.”
Geum Moran thought deeply without blinking. The head of the legal department didn’t seem to be exaggerating. Geum Moran also knew that he was not an easy person with a thick facial skin.
“Well, that’s quite confusing.”
Geum Moran took a deep breath and picked up the teacup in front of her. She made an effort to savor the fragrance gently wafting from the tea.
“May I take a look?”
“Whom… are you talking about?”
It wasn’t a question about whom she was pointing to. It was just confusion since Prosecutor Jin-rae wasn’t someone who would easily respond to Geum Moran’s call.
“Perhaps it won’t be difficult… From my experience, that seems to be the case.”
“Then, I should show sincerity. Let’s see how remarkable this person is.”
Geum Moran took a sip of warm tea and blinked her eyes slowly.
The morning at the prosecutor’s office was, as usual, a battle against the towering stacks of investigation records.
Line pushed aside the mail on her desk after glancing at it. However, in the gap, she noticed a conspicuous crimson envelope. The fragrance of a headache seemed to linger.
“Line, did you spray perfume today? What’s this? This unfamiliar scent. Did it come from Yun Nan-seul?”
Judging by the way Joo-hyuk, sitting far away, wrinkled his nose, Line couldn’t help but catch a whiff of that unpleasant scent.
“No.”
Line reached for the envelope.
Geum Moran?
It was written in her own handwriting. Line confirmed several times that the Geum Moran she knew was indeed the sender and opened the mail.
It contained an invitation format. Geum Moran’s handwritten letter with a directly stamped seal…
It wasn’t the usual sincerity.
However, she couldn’t find a reason to respond to this invitation.
At that moment, Line’s phone vibrated.
“Yes, this is Prosecutor Jin-rae.”
It’s me. Geum Moran.
Without a response, Line only moved her eyes.
“Yes, please speak.”
Did you receive the invitation I sent?
Line picked up the mail again. Unconsciously, her face showed an impression.
“Let’s keep it brief. I’m busy.”
Even if you’re busy, there should be time for a meal. Then, see you that day.
“Are you notifying me now?”
Seeing Line express discomfort, laughter echoed from the other side of the phone.
Just as you heard? I want to see your face once. I think we can become friends.
“Let’s discuss the situation. I’ll hang up once the business is done.”
Strangely adept at holding one’s attention, Line wondered why she didn’t hang up the phone immediately.
“Who is it?”
Joo-hyuk asked, looking at Line, who was sitting there absentmindedly.
“It’s Geum Moran.”
“What?”
He went to Line’s side and read the mail in her hand. It was indeed an invitation sent by Geum Moran.
“What’s this? Just ignore it. Give it to me. I’ll throw it away.”
“No.”
Avoiding his hand, Line put the invitation in a drawer.
“Should I go out? What if she’s planning something…!”
“Why would she call if she wasn’t planning something?”
