Chapter 38 - He didnt stop killing (2/2)

”If you want to support me, there are other ways.” She looks out of the window in the car. ”I am sure that he didn't stop killing. He didn't make it obvious like the 36 murders.”

Do Sejin formulates a plan. Whether Ahn Hana likes it or not, he can't let her be alone at this time of her life. The killer. Her illness. How could he? After finally admitting his feelings, he can't back away now.

He takes a quick bath. Eun Min Ah is still on the bed and thinking about her boss. She looks at Do Sejin while he dresses up casually. ”Sejin, are we going out?”

”I am going out to meet someone.”

She jumps on her feet. ”Wait, I want to come with you.”

”You can't,” He tells her sternly. ”We can't stick 24 hours a day. I will come back at night. Why don't you think about your tactics to make me fall in love with you? It has not been working so far.”

She bites her lower lip in frustrations. She knows it. He doesn't have to say it like that. She watches him quietly leave. Plan. She will show him the plan. She will tie him to her at any cost.

”You were right. The victims are people who were related to you or your cases in the past except for your parents and Noe Kyung-Hee.” Jung Kwang-soo confirms her doubt.

”How sweet,” She says wryly. ”He has been taking revenge for me. Have you checked up on Ong Han Bin?”

”I have talked to him.” He looks at his phone. ”Two weeks ago, his pregnant mistress slipped from the stairs and died. Ong Han Bin was not at home. It looks like it was an accident.”

”Let's talk about the 36 murder first.” Ahn Hana arranges the pictures in order. ”What do you see here, Kwang-soo?”

”Random?” He scratches his head. ”The murders started in 2009. They ended in 2016 when Baek Han Sol was arrested. 38 murders in 7 years if we count your parents.”

Ahn Hana takes away the pictures of her parents' corpse and Noe Kyung-Hee. She rearranges the pictures. ”7 years. 35 murders. 19 of them are related to the people who were involved in the big cases that I won in the past. They were killed 100 days after I won it. These 19 cases are important because I saved the guilty ones. The other victims are related to those who have wronged me in some way. The truck driver's mother was the first victim. She was killed a few months after he went to prison for drunk driving.”

Jung Kwang-soo swallows down his saliva. She is right. Instead of Baek Han Sol, it is related to her. How closely has she been watched?

”Now, Noe Kyung Hee is a special one.” She picks up the picture. Her voice is eerily cold as she observes Noe Kyung-Hee's last picture. ”He killed my parents because he wanted me to change and become who I am today. Noe Kyung-He was killed because she loved Ok Min Ji. She died for her love. The killer is also trying to portray how much he loves me here. Doesn't she look beautiful lying on the red bloody sheet?”

The door is pushed open at the same time. Jung Kwang-soo jumps in his seat.
