Good Luck
As Reporter Yeong So-hee planned, the interest in the Yeong So-yeon death case Ju-won took charge of was tremendous.
Of course, the buzz grew even bigger due to Mun Jeong-ho's identity being exposed rather than just because it was a case handled by star detective Ju-won.
No one knew if it was a coincidence caused by the uncontrollable crowd or someone's intention.
The prosecution immediately announced that there would be punishment for those who distribute Mun Jeong-ho's identity.
However, by the time the prosecution's announcement went out, Mun Jeong-ho's face, which went out through YouTubers' real-time broadcasts, had already spread all over the internet.
In short, Mun Jeong-ho's identity was already 'stuffed' on the internet.
"Wow, amazing. Even Mun Jeong-ho's family background has been completely dug up."
KBN Broadcasting Station Social Affairs Department.
A junior reporter sitting at her desk and looking at her mobile phone turned the screen to Reporter Yeong So-hee.
"Look, Senior. Even the fact that Mun Jeong-ho's father is City Councilman Mun Cheong-seok has all been revealed."
Reporter Yeong So-hee looked at the mobile phone silently.
"Amazing. I feel so refreshed inside. Now Councilman Mun Cheong-seok won't be able to set foot in politics again, right?"
"Unless the party leader is out of his mind, they won't let him."
"Kyah! This is justice. We were really lucky this time! In that situation, the jacket just went smack!"
The junior reporter nodded.
Yeong So-hee didn't react at all until the end.
Turning her head back to look at the monitor.
Mun Jeong-ho's face floating in front of her eyes.
"...."
She just smiled quietly.
The next day.
Reporter Yeong So-hee visited her sister's charnel house alone.
"...."
The photo next to the urn.
Her sister Yeong So-yeon smiling brightly and Reporter Yeong So-hee, still expressionless, are visible.
Reporter Yeong So-hee didn't tell her colleagues about her sister's case.
Because she didn't want to receive pity, comfort, or anything.
What she needed was revenge.
And she dropped the life of the bastard who took her sister to the bottom just the same.
"Until the end... even on the day he finishes his sentence and comes out... I will write articles."
And her revenge hasn't ended yet.
No, it wasn't planned to end until the bastard dies or she dies.
Just as Reporter Yeong So-hee was looking at her sister's photo, a sign of presence was heard from behind.
"Are you feeling a bit better?"
It was Ju-won.
Reporter Yeong So-hee smiled brightly.
"Yes, thanks to you."
Then gathering her two hands, she bowed to Ju-won.
"Thank you. Detective."
"Not at all."
Ju-won also bowed to Reporter Yeong So-hee.
After finishing the greeting, Reporter Yeong So-hee looked at her sister's urn again and opened her mouth.
"If it weren't for you, Detective, we wouldn't have caught the culprit. I should repay you somehow."
"It's fine. I didn't do it expecting a reward."
"But you aren't saying anything."
"Pardon?"
"You knew I used you."
At Reporter Yeong So-hee's words, Ju-won smiled slightly.
Reporter Yeong So-hee deliberately entrusted the case to Ju-won.
There might have been the reason that Gangnam Police Station, originally in charge of the investigation, investigated differently from her will, but the investigation transfer didn't necessarily have to be to Gangjung Station.
The case went to Ju-won simply because Reporter Yeong So-hee picked Ju-won.
And there was one reason Reporter Yeong So-hee chose Ju-won.
[Star quality. To be precise, the star quality of a police officer equipped with ability.]
An investigator with the ability to attract people's attention.
Reporter Yeong So-hee used her ability to further enhance Ju-won's star quality.
Thus, Ju-won was continuously exposed in the news and could gain good support from public opinion.
[Mr Ju-won received media play for free, which politicians get after entertainment and lobbying.]
'Isn't it not free? I solved the case too.'
[If you put it that way, true. But did you know? That Reporter Yeong So-hee planned to make Mr Ju-won a complete star and use such Mr Ju-won to bring down Mun Jeong-ho?]
Ju-won smiled and spoke to Yeong So-hee.
"If it's for something like this, I can be used a hundred times over."
[You didn't know. Shameless.]
Ignoring Terra's words, Ju-won smiled.
"Thanks to you, I became a star too, which is good. You put out a lot of articles too."
"They were cases worthy of attention. I thought everyone should know that Detective Lee has such good skills."
Ju-won smiled and nodded. Then he paused and looked at her.
"But... it wasn't, right?"
"What?"
"Mun Jeong-ho's jacket... There are words it was a coincidence, and words that a YouTuber crazy for views did it. But the reporters didn't seem to suspect anything."
Just in case.
Reporter Yeong So-hee, looking at Ju-won, smiled an inscrutable smile and opened her mouth.
"It must have been a coincidence. Bad luck for Mun Jeong-ho, good luck for us."
"Good luck."
[Let's just believe that. Whether Reporter Yeong So-hee's words are true or not, the probability of the jacket coming off at that time was greater than thought.]
True.
Nothing changes even if he thinks more about it.
As Ju-won nodded, Reporter Yeong So-hee gave a final greeting.
"If you need me, contact me, I'll help."
"Yes, take care going back."
That evening.
[Red. I said red.]
"Hey! Everything is red, how am I supposed to know the order!"
[At this rate, everything will burn. How did you get into Police University with a head that can't even make a simple sauce?]
"Is Police University a cooking school?"
[Pathetic.]
"Do you really want to die?"
[I am not human, so I cannot die.]
"Ah, seriously!"
Ju-won's house, kitchen.
On one side, pasta noodles were boiling, and Ju-won was making tomato sauce.
According to Terra's instructions.
"Numbers! Express it in numbers!"
[There is no need to express it in numbers. When the minced meat is cooked, put all other ingredients in and stir-fry.]
Then you should have just said that!
Ju-won, gritting his teeth, dumped the ingredients into the frying pan.
[Getting married well is out of the question.]
"If I do well from the first attempt, there's no human touch. There should be the taste of growth too."
[Still, this is too poor. If Gordon Ramsay were here, he would have blown your head off with a frying pan.]
"The wording is intense?"
[Once again, my tone originates from Mr Ju-won's thoughts...]
"Ah, alright."
Making an annoyed face, Ju-won lifted the pot boiling spaghetti noodles.
"Just drain the water, right?"
[Just in case, drain it using a sieve.]
"Got it, rascal."
Like that, Ju-won drained the water from the pot.
And turned his body.
"Olive oil? This is red too."
[Sprinkle olive oil to prevent the noodles from sticking while making the sauce.]
"Ah."
Ju-won picked up the olive oil.
Terra distinguishes the importance of objects through colours visible only to Ju-won.
From experience, red is a major item.
An item that must be secured immediately or has a definite relation to the crime.
And yellow is things that need verification.
"But the noodles seem a bit undercooked, is it okay?"
Ju-won, sprinkling olive oil, tilted his head.
[It is al dente style. A style cooked less than regular noodles, characterised by being firm and having a chewy texture.]
"Ah."
[Let's finish the sauce now.]
Ju-won headed back to the frying pan.
[Now mix the tomato and commercial sauce...]
Like that, 20 minutes passed.
"Done!"
[Congratulations. You have finally completed a dish even a middle school student can do.]
Self-made tomato spaghetti was completed.
[Tomatoes contain lycopene, a powerful antioxidant component, and the vegetables in the sauce are full of nutrients. It will be much more helpful for replenishing stamina than the frozen food Mr Ju-won used to eat.]
"Alright. Now stop talking so I can focus on the meal, will you?"
[Understood. Instead, eat slowly. Rapid eating can lead to overeating and digestive problems. Also, blood sugar rises rapidly, leading to diabetes...]
"I'm going to get health problems because of you."
Just as Ju-won was shaking his head and twirling spaghetti with a fork.
Ding-dong!
The doorbell rang.
"Geez, it's hard to eat spaghetti even once."
Ju-won's head turned.
"There's no one to come?"
Click.
Ju-won got up from the chair and headed to the entrance.
"Who is it?"
"...."
Ding-dong!
At the doorbell pressed without an answer, Ju-won carefully grabbed the doorknob.
And slowly opening the front door,
Pop!
A small firecracker burst over Ju-won's head.
"Congratulations, Detective!"
"Congratulations, Detective Lee!"
"Congratulations!"
Team Leader Gu Jin-gu, Detective Kim Seok-ho, and Officer Han Geon-woo are standing holding a small piece of cake.
"What are you all..."
And suddenly.
Team Leader Gu Jin-gu handed something to Ju-won.
It's a thick white envelope.
