We received personal information about the missing woman from the police.

The name is Jo Yeon-hee, the age is twenty-three… , College student.

The slightly raised eye corners give off a provocative charm.

A style that seems to be quite popular among men.

After filling my mind with other information that would be good to know, I handed the document to the two chicks following me.

“Keep basic personal information in your head.”

“Yes, senior!”

When Yoon Si-hoo rushes in as if he had been waiting and takes the document, Jin Ha-rin, who was next to him, lightly hits him on the shoulder and scolds him.

“Please calm down.”

“Ugh… , that doesn’t work.”

Yoon Si-hoo, whose passion is at times excessive, and Jin Ha-rin, who seems calm throughout.

This couple is truly polar opposites.

After about 5 minutes, the two people who had stored the information in their heads returned the documents to me and asked.

“Where are you going now, senior?”

“well.”

The only thing we got from this police station is the personal information of the missing woman.

Nothing is known about where he went or what he did on the day he disappeared.

I need to figure this out first to get a clue… .

While thinking for a moment, Jin Ha-rin said.

“If we check the CCTV footage from the day the woman left home, wouldn’t we be able to find out her whereabouts?”

Valid opinion.

But unfortunately, this is an impossible method.

“Unfortunately, that is impossible.”

“May I ask why?”

When she asked with regret, I told her the reason.

“There is no CCTV near my house.”

The house where missing woman Jo Yeon-hee and her mother live is not far from Jeong-hee’s house.

It will take about 5 minutes to walk leisurely.

Basically, since the neighborhood itself is located on the outskirts of Seoul, it is in poor condition compared to the center.

Every day, a street light goes out on the street I pass by, so I have to ask him to fix it dozens of times, but he just crawls out and pretends to fix it, and then again, it takes a lot of time, and in the end, it takes several months for it to be fixed.

It’s not like there is no CCTV at all.

But since it broke down a long time ago, no one has paid any attention to it, so it’s just as if it doesn’t exist.

After hearing the explanation, Jin Ha-rin’s eyebrows arched into an inverted shape.

“It’s really too much. If I had fixed it in advance, I might have found the woman sooner… !”

After pouring out his complaints in an angry tone, he seems to come to his senses, blushes, and bows his head to me.

“S-sorry. I suddenly got angry and stopped… .”

“are you okay. “It’s at a level that I can fully understand.”

The outskirts of Seoul are in a truly ambiguous position.

The center of Seoul is investing a lot of money to develop it because it is the center, and the local areas are investing their own money to develop it so that people can live with peace of mind again, but this place has stayed in the same place.

And this stagnation will continue for quite some time.

Until the center became saturated and the attention of politicians naturally turned there.

Or until someone steps in and changes the tone.

The latter will come sooner than the former.

I plan to step in and turn over part of this area myself sometime soon.

Of course, there are a lot of things that need to be resolved before that, so I don’t know when that will happen.

“Then what should I do… ?”

I answer her question as she worries that she won’t be able to find it like this.

“We’re going to college.”

“If it’s a university… “Are there women going there?”

“okay.”

“ah… , all right.”

She was clever and immediately understood what I meant.

“Are you going to start by finding out what I do on a daily basis to find out what I did that day?”

“That’s correct.”

Smart guy.

When the three arrived at the university where Jo Yeon-hee attended, they went separately to visit the friends she often hung out with.

There was only one thing I asked about.

“Where do you usually go to drink or have fun?”

To this, they gave similar answers.

“I usually drink a lot at bars near the university. “It’s close, and the snacks are cheap.”

“What if it’s not normal?”

“uh… “When I was in a good mood on Friday or after exams, I often went to Hongdae.”

“Hongdae… .”

“Yes, I didn’t set a specific place and went there, like a hunting gun carriage or a club… .”

It was a time when a woman was talking about the places that came to mind one by one.

The person next to me said, ‘That’s right, that’s right.’ Another woman who was making a comment suddenly chimed in as if something had occurred to her.

“Oh, we went to the Gangnam club last time too!”

“Ah, you mean Yeonhee’s birthday then?”

“Uh oh. “Didn’t Yeonhee really like you back then?”

“It did. I said that I liked the atmosphere and that if I ever wanted to go to a club, I would definitely go there… .”

The atmosphere quickly became gloomy.

“Gwae, it’ll be okay! “That girl, Yeonhee, must have met a nice guy and forgot to contact him.”

The two people, who had been comforting each other with the hope of a very slim probability, bowed their heads towards Kim Do-jin.

“Please find Yeonhee.”

“He was a really good kid. “He always studied very hard to make his mother comfortable by graduating early, and he rarely went out for drinks unless it was a special occasion.”

“… … .”

Just by looking at their sincere concerns, you can get a rough idea.

What kind of person was Jo Yeon-hee, the missing woman?

Kim Do-jin answered them with a refreshing smile on his lips.

“I’ll do my best.”

That was all I could say now.

.

The first place the three people headed to after completing the investigation was the club in Gangnam that the two female college students Kim Do-jin met had told them about at the end.

The club name is ‘Rising Sun’.

As its name suggests, it was a very popular club targeting young men and women in their 20s.

Looking at the entrance to the club, which was extravagant from the outside, Jin Harin asked a question mixed with concern.

“Is this really the right place…? ? “If you look at the personal information you showed me, it says that Jo Yeon-hee is not in a very well-off situation.”

Kim Do-jin curls the corners of his mouth upon hearing the question.

First of all, one thing is certain.

“Harin, you haven’t been to the club?”

To put it bluntly, she has never set foot in a club.

“Yes, but… . Uh, how did you know?”

When she asked with a slight blush, Kim Do-jin answered.

“For women, clubs don’t cost that much money.”

It’s usually the man’s job to grab an expensive table.

“Pretty girls just go in and dance. Then it will naturally follow.”

“You’re catching up… , What?”

As if he really didn’t know, he smiled bitterly at her innocently asking question and continued talking.

“Alcohol, a place to sit, and a man.”

“Eh… .”

Jin Ha-rin’s face turns bright red at the word ‘man’.

I expected him to be shy, but he seems to be more shy than I expected.

So I was curious.

If an adult man and woman were dating, they might have had a relationship naturally, but isn’t this reaction too virginal?

But I soon convinced myself.

‘what… , because not everyone is crazy about sexual desire.’

He was like that too.

When I started dating Han Joo-hee, the first woman in my life, we cared for each other very much.

‘… is not it?’

First of all, I’m sure he cared for me, but I don’t know if he even cared for his body.

After quickly erasing thoughts of the past, he continued.

“Anyway, for that reason, I think this is more likely.”

“Well, if it’s according to what you said… , That doesn’t make any sense.”

“As expected, senior… !”

Jin Ha-rin nods, still turning her head as if embarrassed, and Yoon Si-hoo, who gives a stinging look that goes from warm to too warm with too much respect.

He leads the two people who amuse him in very different directions and heads towards the entrance of the club.

There, two large men were laughing and joking.

“Hey, let’s ask something.”

All eyes are focused on Kim Do-jin, who approaches and speaks to him.

He took out a photo of Jo Yeon-hee that he had saved on his smartphone and held it in front of the two people.

“Didn’t you come to this ladies’ club a few days ago?”

Then a man frowned and asked in a harsh tone.

“Who is it that comes to you and takes pictures and asks you questions?”

Kim Do-jin was embarrassed.

“… I do not know?”

“I don’t know so I’m asking, you old man.”

“Uh, um.”

I guess so.

You’re probably asking because you don’t know.

As Kim Do-jin smiled bitterly, Jin Ha-rin, who was behind him, came forward and introduced him.

“The person here is Hunter Dojin Kim. You know? “The person who was promoted to S class this time.”

“seaweed… Dojin… ?”

One of the men hurriedly picked up his smartphone and tapped his fingers, making a shocked expression.

“Ji, it’s true! “Look at this.”

“omg.”

The two people quickly grasped the situation and immediately bent down 90 degrees.

“Hello, brother!”

“It’s an honor, brother!”

“… … .”

Who is your older brother?

Trying to suppress the words rising to the top of my throat, I help them stand up.

And once again, he displayed her picture on the smartphone screen, showed it to the two people, and asked.

“Now, ask me again. The woman in the picture here… .”

“I saw it!”

The man raised his hand before he finished speaking.

“Is it 4 days ago or 5 days ago…? “I don’t know exactly, but I remember it clearly because I was a customer as soon as it opened!”

Four or five days.

Last night, her mother said that her daughter left home four days ago, so today is the fifth day.

The dates match exactly.

‘It’s here.’

I don’t know yet.

Did she disappear from here, or was she somewhere else?

But what is certain is that she stopped by here on the day she disappeared.

Kim Do-jin patted the shoulder of the man who gave him very important information and praised him.

“Oh, it was good. “The information you provide is truly a work of art, huh?”

“Thank you, brother!”

“But, that.”

“yes!”

“Can I ask you one more favor?”

“Just say anything!”

Kim Do-jin smiled and continued speaking towards the man who answered in a triumphant manner.

“Please gather all the staff working at the club.”

“yes… ! “Yes, yes?”

“Everyone, from the CEO to the lowest level employees.”

“Oh, no… .”

“please?”

“… … .”

The man felt like he wanted to strangle the man who had been talking so vigorously just a moment ago.
