Chapter 36 - The Suspects List
( *Ahjussi - a word used to address middle aged men, over 30 years old. )
Soo Min and Hyun Woo spent the rest of the day browsing the list of Choi Ye Eun's haters and psycho-fans, and it was quite a large group of people. CEO Choi was really serious, mentioning suing people who either wanted to destroy his daughter's image or were simply obsessed with her and violated Ye Eun's privacy. On the one hand, Choi Young Sik seemed to be a very cold, firm and a man who was not showing affection, but he certainly cared for children in his own way - for example, removing from their path any obstacles or persons who wanted to harm them. It was all the more impressive because, despite being a very busy man, CEO Choi always found time to meet with a lawyer or go to the court trial, if it was happening to punish someone who had threatened his family in any way.
The list of haters and psycho-fans was long, but in fact most of them were kids who probably had noRelated chapters
Blossom Tears Chapter 37 - Even More Clues
In the late afternoon, Min Hye Sun from Cyber Security Division, Digital Forensic Section came to Soo Min and Hyun Woo's office with new information. Of course, she started to sweeten Hyun Woo, but when Soo Min got her attention, she immediately became serious.- So first of all, we've got the footage from camera monitoring the gate at Choi Hyun Sik's house from his security company. I've checked it thoroughly few times and the footage seems to be completely legit. It shows no one entered or left the house on Sunday.- Hye Sun informed at the begining.- Of course, I will conduct a few more tests to see if there were any modifications, but initially I did not notice any traces of interference with this footage.- she emphasized.- Another thing...- Hye Sun began rummaging through the paper folder she had brought with her and pulled out a few pages.- Here is a list of people who owned this car as seen on the CCTV recordings. After looking at the footage again and again, I'm sure it'
Blossom Tears Chapter 38 - Psycho-Fans: Yong Jong Pil
( *Ajumeoni - less formal Ajumma; a Korean word for a married, or middle-aged woman. )The very next morning, Soo Min and Hyun Woo went to three men who were psycho-fans of Choi Ye Eun. They started with Yeon Jong Pil, who was at the bottom of the suspect list. After a court case with CEO Choi, he and his mother moved from Seoul to Bucheon, so the ride again took a little bit over an hour. Being in the town they looked for high residential building located in the vicinity to primary school and it wasn't hard to find it. Entering the parking lot they passed the watchman's booth, of course, and explained the reason for their visit while showing him their badges and the older man let them go into the parking lot without hesitating. When they reached the free spot, Soo Min stopped the car and looked up while getting out. The block had 14 floors, but fortunately the apartment that Yeon Jong Pil and his mother were currently living in was on the 2nd floor.
Blossom Tears Chapter 39 - Psycho-Fans: Nam Dong Sun
To meet the next man, Nam Dong Sun, they had to return to Seoul, specifically Gangnam. He lived there with his parents in a tall apartment building. Today Dong Sun had classes at the university only in the late afternoon, so they had some time to talk. His parents were not present as they both worked in the same hospital and were on duty. When they got closer to the door of an elegant building and rang the intercom, Dong Sun let them in as soon as he heard who had come. Then Soo Min and Hyun Woo took the elevator to the 6th floor, went right down the corridor and stopped under one of the apartments, the door of which was already open and a tall, slender boy with rather broad shoulders was standing in it. Dong Sun had slightly longer hair dyed in cherry color, his eyes were black, and he was lightly tanned which made him look a little over 26 years old. Seeing Soo Min, the young man smiled charmingly and inspected her from head to toe.- Hello, detective Kim Soo Min I presume?-
Blossom Tears Chapter 40 - Psycho-Fans: Kim Young Chul
Today's last stop was the house above the restaurant run by Kim Young Chul's parents. He was supposed to accept them in the apartment because his parents didn't want the restaurant guests to see detectives wandering around the place. That's why Soo Min parked the car at the back of the building, where the entrance to the apartment located on the 1st floor was. She and Hyun Woo got out and entered the building, taking the stairs to the 1st floor, straight to the apartment door. After one bell ringing one could immediately hear rushing footsteps and the clang of the lock, then the door opened and a definitely 30 years old man stood there, as slim as his predecessors, with the same broad shoulders, was only a few centimetres shorter, but within the supposed height of the kidnapper from CCTV recordings. He was wearing a green shirt and jeans that seemed a little bit too big for him, fastened with a black belt with a silver buckle with the Calvin Klein symbol. He had long black hair tied
Blossom Tears Chapter 41 - Investigation Continues
In the days that followed, orders came in to search the modeling agency and Seo In Sung's apartament, as well as Kim Sang Min's clinic and house. Police team led by Soo Min and Hyun Woo were looking for any clues possible. Where the cameras were located, the footage of their recordings was also collected.Because in "Cherry Blossom Beauty" clinic indeed the secret basement room has been discovered during the search, Kim Sang Min and other doctors who have been present were brought to the police station for interrogation.- Kim Sang Min-ssi.- Soo Min sat in front of the man in the interrogation room, not taking her eyes off him for a minute.- When we found on the internet these rumors about a secret basement room in your clinic, we thought it was just rumors.- she said.- But we did find this room. In addition, it is full of bloody medical equipment, with a bed with belts. And you said that there are no such beds in your clinic.- she sighed a little.- Can you please explain
Blossom Tears Chapter 42 - False Track
- Wow, I didn't think that basement room was true.- Hyun Woo spoke up.- Even if Kim Sang Min would turn out not to be the "Cherry Blossom Reaper", he should be well punished for simply mistreating animals in this way. Not counting making illegal courses and profiting from it.- he added.- Yeah, you are right. No matter what the lab results of the blood found in this room are, Kim Sang Min is a monster anyway. Even if he only abused animals, it doesn't excuse him at all.- Soo Min replied, sighing heavily.- But the worst thing is that the searches didn't get much important clues. Well, aside from a clinic search, after all we found this secret room. But it's not sure that this has anything to do with the case of the "Cherry Blossom Reaper".- Soo Min added, clearly frustrated by this.- Sunbae, remember that there are still records from home and work place's cameras, maybe something will be found on them.- Hyun Woo replied.- Besides, we still have to interview Seo In Sung abo
Blossom Tears Chapter 43 - Chasing The Shadow: Part 1
In the late afternoon, Seo In Sung showed up at the police station at the exact time he was called to. Soo Min sat down with him in the interrogation room, and Hyun Woo, as before, was looking through the semi-transparent mirror in the next room.- I have no idea why you are bothering me again, and even less why I was called to the police station or why these searches in my apartment and agency were. Especially since I was on a business trip.- Seo In Sung sighed, clearly irritated by the whole situation.- Because of you, I had to cancel an important meeting.- he added in a slightly accusatory tone.- I understand it's no fun being a suspect in a kidnapping and murders case, but believe me, we have reasons. The prosecutor wouldn't have given us permission and a search warrant if there were no arguments for it.- Soo Min replied, then opened a paper folder which she placed in front of her on the table.- So far, during the search, we have not found anything relevant, we called
Blossom Tears Chapter 44 - Chasing The Shadow: Part 2
The next day came a response to the request for a search warrant for Choi Hyun Sik's summer residence.- Request rejected? There are no grounds for a search?- Soo Min read the reply from the Prosecutor out loud with obvious disbelief on her face, slowly turning to anger.The entire section, including Hyun Woo, looked at her with faint fear mixed with concern.- Sunbae... We can't help if the Prosecutor issued such a decision.- Hyun Woo tried to calm her down.- It just shows how high the connections of CEO Choi reach. The guy supposedly only has a fashion house, but in fact he really knows every big person in Seoul.- Han Eul spoke up.- First, he changed detectives for the "Cherry Blossom Reaper" case, now he refuses police to search his son's house.- he shook his head slightly.- I won't give up.- Soo Min decided.- Sooner or later I'll get a search warrant. For now, I'm going to thoroughly interrogate CEO Choi and his son today. They didn't cancel that, did
