Episode 294 Cheolsu88 (2)
“You found it?”
“uh?!”
Park Dong-sik and Kwak Yang-cheol, who hung up the phone and were getting ready, were taken aback when they saw Royce suddenly open the door and come in.
“Well, you arrived so soon?”
“I had some business to do nearby and was passing by… … .”
“Well, that’s right.”
The number of floors of the shopping center where Dongsik Heungsinso is located is 4 floors.
There was no elevator so I had to walk up.
However, the time it took to hang up the call was only about a minute at most.
‘No matter how close I was passing by… ‘It took less than a minute to come up the fourth floor?’
Something didn’t make sense, but that wasn’t important anyway.
Park Dong-sik welcomed Royce with a sly smile.
“Oh my, thank you for your hard work on the long journey.”
“Where is it?”
“Let’s move together. “We have already completed the preliminary field trip.”
“You’re fast.”
At those words, Kwak Yang-cheol suddenly intervened.
“My brother may not know anything else, but he is the number one person in Korea when it comes to finding people. “If you had come straight to us instead of stopping by somewhere else, we would have found you and contacted you in the early evening!”
Park Dong-sik’s shoulders shrugged and rose slightly as his subordinate praised him.
“Kuhm, you bastard, what is Number One… Actually, this is what I’m saying, but originally there was Namba One-Two above me, but they all fell apart and I became Namba-Won!”
“… … .”
“… “Didn’t you have fun?”
“yes.”
“sorry. Go, go, it’s full outside. “Tang Cheol, lock the door and come out!”
“yes!”
Out of embarrassment, Park Dong-sik rushed out.
After a while.
Inside the car driven by Kwak Yang-cheol.
Park Dong-sik looked at his notebook and recited the information he had learned.
“Name: Wang Cheol-su, born in 1988. I am 34 years old this year. Education: Dropped out of high school. “The current location of residence has been determined to be Gapyeong, Gyeonggi-do.”
“Wang Cheol-soo… … .”
Lois chuckled.
His real name is Cheolsu, and he was born in 1988.
It was as expected.
“And?”
“I was severely bullied when I was in high school, and there is a record of receiving mental counseling because of it. After living as a hikikomori for several years, it was discovered that he stopped engaging in any outside activities after both his parents died in a car accident.”
“What about other relatives?”
“My mother was an orphan, and I have two aunts on my father’s side, both of whom seem to have cut off ties with Wang Cheol-su.”
“… … .”
“The only external trace that was revealed afterward was the personal blog you mentioned, but that was shut down about two years ago, so there were no traces left. We also had a hard time finding it because of that.”
“For something like that, you found it fairly quickly.”
“Haha, our crime report specializes in finding people rather than investigating adultery… I showed off my skills properly this time. By the way… … .”
Park Dong-sik hesitates.
Lois said, realizing what that meant.
“If that person is the person I’m looking for, I will definitely pay the referral fee. “You don’t have to worry too much.”
“Haha, of course I trust you! However, while we were dealing with this matter, we took some drugs here and there… I forgot all the advance money… … .”
With those words, Royce took out two gold bars from her pocket and handed them to Park Dong-sik.
“This is a special allowance in addition to overtime pay.”
“oh my! Why all this! thank you!”
Park Dong-sik repeatedly bowed his head toward the back seat.
Just as the gold bar was about to fall over, Lois grabbed it and did not let go.
Lois said with a serious face, looking at Park Dong-sik with a puzzled look in his eyes.
“But, let’s go a little faster. I’m in a hurry for some reason… … .”
“Yangcheol, what are you doing! Step on it!”
“Yes, brother!”
Buaaaaang-.
An SUV driving down the road at high speed with a harsh engine sound.
With that, the gold bar finally passed into Park Dong-sik’s hands.
* * *
From Seoul to Gapyeong.
Kwak Yang-cheol covered the one and a half hour distance in just over 50 minutes.
They arrived in front of an old single-family home.
“Here we go.”
“… “Here?”
There was a suspicious look in Lois’ eyes.
That’s because the single-family house in front of them looked like an abandoned house with no people living there.
A night with a bright moon.

Gray walls and an iron gate with sparse paint peeling off.
Not only was it clearly evident that there had been no management for quite some time, but there was also a somewhat eerie atmosphere.
Park Dong-sik smiled awkwardly, as if he had expected Royce’s reaction.
“First of all, it doesn’t look like much, but… It looks like there are people living there. “There is a small supermarket nearby, and the owner says he comes out once a week to buy cigarettes and other things.”
“hmm… … .”
Lois felt excited at Park Dong-sik’s words.
Then, as he said, I felt the energy of people in the house.
Lois walked in front of the iron door.
A door locked from the inside.
Kwak Yang-cheol saw this and said with a sinister smile.
“If you pay the extra fee, I will open the door so you can enter quietly. If you are an expert at finding people, then I am number one in the country at this! Of course, you are responsible for taking care of trespassing… … .”
While Kwak Yang-cheol was talking about something, Royce pushed the iron door.
and.
Pakak-.
The iron door opened with a small, dull sound.
“… … ?!”
Kwak Yang-cheol looked at the open iron door and opened his eyes.
A rusty latch rattled inside the door.
Kwak Yang-cheol, who saw this, said with an embarrassed face.
“Well, I guess the latch was rusty. “It opens all at once.”
But Lois, who was supposed to listen to those words, had already passed the iron gate.
Lois entered the yard without hesitation and looked around.
Weeds that grew profusely as if they had not been managed for a long time.
And in the middle of it all, there are traces that look like burning trash.
Lois ignored this and stood in front of the door to the house.
Kwak Yang-cheol, who felt that it was time for him to step forward, took out some tools from his arms and whispered softly.
“This is easy. It’s not a door lock, it’s just a key type, so if you leave it to me, it will be within 5 minutes… … .”
This time, before Kwak Yang-cheol finished speaking, Lois grabbed the doorknob.
and.
Pakak-.
The handle was pulled out with the sound of something breaking.
The door slowly opens at the same time.
“uh… … ?”
While Kwak Yang-cheol froze in shock, Lois stepped inside again.
The first thing that greeted him was the stench that stung his nose.
The commonly known smell of a widower.
Rotten sewer smell.
And even the smell of sweat and sourness.
It was a space where you would never feel like a normal person was living.
However, as if to prove that people were still living, there were a lot of dishes covered in food residue in the sink.
Lois glanced at this and walked slowly.
The room is dark with no lights on.
Lois’s gait was unstoppable.
Before he knew it, he was standing in front of a room.
‘It’s here.’
This was the only place where I could feel the energy of people.
Lois opened the door without hesitation.
Then came the sight.
Click-clack-clack-.
A thin man sitting in front of a computer, the only source of light, moving the mouse.
A bushy beard and hair matted with oil.
The cigarettes piled up in the ashtray in front of the monitor made me realize how long he had been stuck in this lifestyle.
Suddenly-.
“uh… … ?!”
The deceased jumped up from his seat at the sound of the door opening.
And when Lois turned on the light, she quickly covered her eyes.
“W-what?!”
“Wang Cheol-su.”
A soft voice echoed in the room, and the man lowered his arm.
He frowned slightly and shouted.
“What are you?! “How did you get in here?!”
The corner of Lois’ mouth went up slightly at the familiar voice.
“Someone is trespassing into someone else’s house! “Get out now before I call the police!”
He grabbed the cutter knife next to the desk and pointed it at Lois.
“Get out of there before I kill you!”
“Withdrawal 88.”
The man who was glowing suddenly stopped when he heard Royce’s soft voice.
It was only then that Wang Cheol-su noticed something strange and looked at Royce.
There is silence for a moment.
“… … ?!”
The guy became thoughtful and shouted.
“you you?! Yes, how could you?! Oh, that’s ridiculous! How can something like this… No way… … .”
This made it clear.
The attitude of a guy who recognized him even though he didn’t say anything.
On top of that, he spoke gibberish and looked embarrassed.
All of that was like proving that I was Cheolsu88.
Lois smiled brightly at him.
“f*ck… “I’m so happy that it brings tears to my eyes.”
“Well, that can’t be…” how?”
Crumble- Crunch-.
Lois broke her hand and walked towards Wang Cheolsu.
“Oh, don’t come!”
Lois’s smile grew even deeper as she saw the guy stepping back while wielding a cutter knife.
It was a very pretty killer smile.
“I mean, there’s a lot I really want to talk to you about. But before that… … .”
“Oh, oh, oh, don’t come!”
“… “Let’s get it right first.”
Uduk-.
Lois’s fist curled.
* * *
After going inside, Lois went in.
Park Dong-sik and Kwak Yang-cheol looked at each other in surprise as the doorknob was pulled out.
“… “Is this rusted too?”
“No matter how rusty it is, does the doorknob come off so easily?”
“I might fall in… … .”
“If that were the case, technicians like me would starve to death. by the way… Are you going to leave it like that?”
Kwak Yang-cheol glanced inside the door Lois entered.
“Don’t worry. All we have to do is find someone and receive money. No more intervention… … .”
When Park Dong-sik was admonishing Kwak Yang-cheol.
Kwaaaaagh-.
A deafening scream rang out.
As the terrible sound was added to the already dreary looking house, goosebumps rose up my back.
Kwieeeeek-.
And then the sound of pigs being slaughtered in succession.
The two people just froze.
Afterwards, their eyes met.
“Shall we go by car?”
“Well, that would be a good idea.”
The two quietly walked away from the door.
Just as I was about to quietly turn around and leave.
“There you two.”
The two’s movements stopped at the sound of a voice that came out of nowhere.
The two slowly turned their heads and froze.
Under the blue moonlight, a white-haired man slowly emerges from a dark passage.
As he walked away wiping his bloody fist, his purple eyes were so bizarre and magical.
It made my stomach go numb and a chill go down my spine.
Still, Park Dong-sik was the first to come to his senses and smile awkwardly, saying that he still had some time to live.
“haha. “Bo, are you done with your business?”
“No, not yet.”
“Well, then we’ll be in the car… … .”
“wait for a sec.”
“yes?”
As those words ended, gold bars came out one after another from Lois’s pocket.
Lois smiled as she handed it over.
“He was exactly the person I was looking for. “It is a request fee and a special allowance.”
“Thank you!”
Park Dong-sik accepted the gold bar.
It was understandable to be puzzled that this amount of gold bars came out of their pockets, but they didn’t have the presence of mind to think about it.
“I… “We’ll go to the car.”
“No, you don’t have to. I still have some business left to do here, so you two can go to Seoul. “I’ll go on my own.”
“Well, is that okay?!”
“Please.”
When they were told that they could go, the two people blushed and bowed their heads.
“Okay, then we’ll be done!”
“Thank you!”
The two ran straight to the car without looking back, hoping that Lois would catch them again.
Once they were gone, Lois went back home.
It was to continue threshing that had not yet been completed.
Meanwhile, two people entered the car.
They broke out in a cold sweat.
“What, living in the eyes…” … .”
“older brother… Have you seen it? That gold bar… What came out of your pocket? How does that come out of your pocket?!”
“uh? Come to think of it?!”
“… “Is it a person?”
“… … .”
“Oh, or a ghost? goblin?”
Park Dong-sik could not easily answer Kwak Yang-cheol’s question.
It was then.
Wow-.
A desperate scream heard faintly in the darkness.
Park Dong-sik, trembling at this, shouted.
“W-what are you doing, man! “Let’s not leave right away!”
“Go, go!”
Kwak Yang-cheol, who was frightened, urgently stepped on the accelerator.
Buaang-.
Kueeeeek-.
A night where even the moonlight is stained with blood.
The terrible screams continued throughout the night.
