Chapter 8: Escaping the Investigation

Early in the morning, Man-shik the store owner hurried to Sang je's house. Through the space below the door he slipped a piece of paper inside and knocked thrice.

There was no surveillance in that area to record Man-shik's activity. He quickly turned around and secretly returned back to the village.

Later, around 10 am, police officers reached Sang je's place to investigate his last night's whereabouts. But, only to find the house locked.

They went back to the village. Where Man-shik told them that Sang je had left for another city.

The officer asked, "Did he tell you about yesterday's incident?"

Man-shik answered, "Yes sir, he said that he came back from the hill in the afternoon itself but took another route to his house and hence didn't cross the village road."

Considering Man-shik a witness, the police closed the case, as the case itself was too minor to investigate further.

Man-shik's plan served its purpose. He just saved innocent Sang je from the complex web of police investigation.

On the other side of the shore, from Seoul, Eun Hye and Jin Ae Ra are preparing for a short vacation.

Will they take the route to Jeju?

But where is Sang Je now?
