Jong-seok was having a very busy time. Mondays, Wednesdays and Wednesdays were treated at Seoul Hospital, Tuesdays and Thursdays at Kyunghwa University Oriental Medicine Hospital, and Friday at the licensed clinic.
In addition, I had to help Heo Yul with internal engineering classes at oriental medical school from time to time.
As a result, Jong-seok's weekdays were running nonstop. And today Jong-seok was seeing a doctor at Seoul Hospital.
"Are you feeling well?"
The patient, lying on the bed, smiled and shook his head at Jong-seok's question.
"Looking at Mr. Lee's face, I think I'm getting better from the pain."
"Then I'll at least take a picture of myself and hang it on my bed."
Jong-seok, who laughed and joked, saw a cardio resident next to him.
"You're recovering fast."
"I'm going to be discharged soon because the surgery is going well."
Jong-seok looked at the chart in response to the resident's answer and turned around.
At Seoul Hospital, most patients who had difficulty in general surgery were allowed to participate in surgery that combined their internal organs. In addition, oriental medicine treatment was conducted for patients who wanted it separately.
Of course, oriental medicine treatments are focused on pain relief and acupuncture and side dishes that help both sides, but they did not prescribe any medicine.
You can't prescribe it together because both medicines and herbal medicines are different.
And now I'm looking at patients who had surgery last week and making rounds.
After the morning rounds, Jong-seok headed to the cafeteria.
The nurses appeared one by one at a time and began to follow suit.
"Every time Mr. Lee goes to the restaurant, the nurses go crazy."
Heart surgeon Seol Hyo-sung, who was on her way to the cafeteria, smiled and talked to her. I smiled small at the nurses who followed Jong-seok at the sight.
"I'm kind of popular with girls."
"I don't know how popular it is, but I always want to eat with Mr. Lee once he's tasted something."
Seol smiled and said, standing next to Jong-seok.
"In that sense, I'm with you...….”
"Sure."
"Hahaha! Actually, I was waiting to eat with Mr. Lee. The happiest time for an office worker is lunchtime, and it's twice or even ten times the happiness with Mr. Lee."
When Seol moved with a smile, she glanced at the nurses who followed Jong-seok.
Every time I ate, I took care of the nurses' food seasoning. That's why nurses purposely go to eat at Jong-seok's restaurant.
And perhaps even at the entrance to the cafeteria there are medical staff waiting for the end of the day.
Anyway, Jong-seok's cell phone rang on the way to the cafeteria with the nurses.
'That's creative.'
It's been a long time since Lee Chang-sik called and pressed Jong-seok's button.
"Oh! The people's cane.”
[Yes, it's a cane.]
"What brings you here?"
[What brings you here?]...just do it.]
"I'm glad to see you. By the way... ...Are you getting married?"
[Marriage?]
"If a stranger calls suddenly, is there anything else besides marriage? Pretty?"
Lee Chang-sik's laughter was heard at Jong-seok's words.
[There is a woman, but not yet married.]
"There is. Bring him sometime. I'll give you a free health check-up, and I'll give you some saliva and medicine that's good for women.”
[Thank you very much, then.]
Lee Chang-sik, who was smiling and talking, lowered his voice tone.
[And......do you have time now?]
"Time? Why?"
[I went to see you at the licensed clinic and I'm going there because I heard you're at Seoul Hospital.
"Now? Is something wrong?"
[I need to ask you and get some help.]
"What's the matter?"
[Something difficult on the phone...]...we'll be there in ten minutes....do you have time?]
"If you ask me if I'm free when you say you'll be there in ten minutes, how can I say I'm not? There's a coffee shop in front of the hospital. Come over there."
[Thank you.]
"No thanks."
Jongseok hung up and looked at his cell phone.
'What's going on? He's not coming all of a sudden.... what's the matter?’
Kim Young-woo and Lee Chang-sik are the only two who keep in touch with each other.
That means we're close....I was worried to hear from you all of a sudden.
Jong-seok turned his body while looking at the cell phone for a while.
"I'm sorry, but I think you guys should go to the cafeteria today."
"Do you not eat, teacher?"
"I have an appointment. Enjoy your meal, then."
"Ah......."
When Jong-seok hurriedly moved on, a murmur of nurses came to him.
"Ai! I've been waiting half an hour to eat with Mr. Lee...….”
"What can I do? This teacher isn't here to feed us....let's go eat."
"The greatest joy of Monday is gone."
As the nurses sighed and walked to the cafeteria with a depressed face, Jong-seok left the hospital.
Inside the coffee shop near the hospital, doctors and nurses in gowns were buying coffee.
"Hello."
Jong-seok, who greeted people who recognized him, bought two cups of coffee and two slices of cake and sat down.
I'm trying to eat a cake instead of a meal. While eating the cake, Lee Chang-sik came inside.
"Here."
When Jong-seok raised his hand, Lee Chang-sik came to where he was with a middle-aged man.
Jong-seok got up from his seat because he thought someone was with him.
"Didn't you eat?"
Jong-seok shook his head when Lee Chang-sik said while looking at the cake.
"I was on my way to eat, and I got your call and came out. And what about this guy?
"Senior Inspector Kim Sun-shin."
When Lee Chang-sik introduced himself, Kim Sun-shin reached out his hand.
"This is Kim Soon-shin."
"This is Lee Jong-seok."
When the two greeted each other, Lee Chang-sik saw a drink on the table and told Kim Soon-shin.
"Which drink would you like?"
"Ice Americano."
Then when Kim Sun-shin gave him a card, Lee Chang-sik took it and headed to the counter.
Jong-seok saw Kim Soon-shin and pointed to his seat.
"Sit down."
When Kim Sun-shin sat down, Jong-seok pushed the drink he bought to give Lee Chang-sik.
"Take this for now."
Even though Lee Chang-sik bought it for him to eat, it's an iced Americano anyway.
Watching Kim Sun-shin drink coffee, Jong-seok saw Lee Chang-sik.
'He says he'll come when someone else comes.’
Looking at Kim Soon-shin with a clumsy face, Jong-seok first ate a cake and drank coffee.
Meanwhile, Lee Chang-sik brought a drink and returned to his seat.
"You eat that."
Lee Chang-sik nodded at Jong-seok's words and said,
"You seem to be on the rise these days."
"Stop talking nonsense. But what's the matter?"
When asked by Jong-seok, Lee Chang-sik glanced around and opened his mouth.
"Do you know about the disappearance of a high school girl in Nowon?"
"The Cheong Wa Dae petition?”
A high school girl in Nowon is missing. In the beginning, the police treated it as a simple runaway, and the parents posted a message on the national petition asking for their daughter to be found.
People commented on the story and made headlines. So the police reinvestigated......I knew a high school girl was kidnapped, not just run away from home.
"You know."
"There's a lot of news out there these days. But I heard you got a suspect.
He saw on the news two days ago that a suspect in the kidnapping of a high school girl in Nowon was arrested.
"I caught you..."
Lee Chang-sik, who had been there for a while, continued.
"I'd be in trouble if I told someone about a case I'm investigating......? So you have to keep this a secret.”
"What's going on?"
"He... ...doesn't tell me where he is."
"Is the real criminal right?"
"Yes. I admit it. He took her."
"But you don't tell me where he is? Don't tell me......"
Jong-seok spoke quietly, frowning.
"Didn't you kill him?"
"What he's saying is he's alive.”
"It could be a lie.”
"He said, 'cause we don't believe him either, he suggested we do a lie detector first......so I did a lie detector, and the truth comes out that the child is alive."
Jong-seok nodded at Lee Chang-sik's remark. Highly trained special forces or spies may cheat a lie detector, but ordinary people cannot avoid it.
"So he's alive.”
"Yes, but...... he doesn't tell me where he is. Instead, she's showing that she'll tell me where she is if you let her go."
"Can you untie me?”
"If you let it go, the police are a moron. How can I release a criminal who even confessed?”
Jong-seok frowned at Lee Chang-sik's words.
"Then what about the kid? If you had the news that you were caught two days ago, you'd be alone now."
"That's right. At this rate, the child will starve to death.”
"I have to open my mouth to find him......you're saying you won't open your mouth unless you let me go.”
Lee Chang-sik clenched his fist at Jong-seok's remark.
Boom boom!
"That's crazy. But how do you let him go? Besides, there's no guarantee that he'll talk properly just because he'll let you go. You run, you dive with your kid...... bad boy."
Lee Chang-sik, who spat out a small curse, bit his lips.
"If I had the heart, I'd beat him all day and rip his mouth open."
"That's a dog."
"It's a dog."
Then, Lee Chang-sik saw Kim Sun-shin next to him.
"You beat him up in anger, but now you're suspended and excluded from the case."
At Lee Chang-sik's words, Jong-seok saw Kim Sun-shin.
"You've done a good job. Really deserve to be a dreadful person to death. "
"I think so, too."
Then Kim Sun-shin looked at Jong-seok and said,
"If Chang-sik was Lee Jong-seok, he could have let him talk....I've come to see you. Is there any way?"
Kim Sun-shin said Jong-seok thought for a while and said,
"I saw the news two days ago that the suspect was caught, so the girl who was taken is locked up for two days......where there's a girl to eat?"
Lee Chang-sik shook his head at Jong-seok's horse.
"He doesn't even say anything about him."
"You don't tell me?"
"Yes. All he said was that he kidnapped and locked her up, that he would tell you where she was if you let her go, and that if she starved to death, it's all your police's responsibility."
"What else do you mean?"
"You have the right to remain silent."
"That's a dog."
"Very...... what a jerk."
Lee Chang-sik said Jong-seok.
"I'll let you talk."
"Is there any way to open it?"
"There is, but......I have to meet him. Can I?"
At Jong-seok's words, Lee Chang-sik saw Kim Sun-shin. Lee Chang-sik, a two-leaf policeman, was not authorized and qualified to meet the common people.
But Kim Soon-shin couldn't either. Neither did he have the authority to bring a suspect in a case of national attention to the public.
Moreover, the situation has been ruled out of the case.
It's just...
Kim Sun-shin took out his cell phone and said,
"I'll ask the class president and seniors to do a favor."
Watching Kim Sun-shin calling people, Lee Chang-sik saw Jong-seok.
"But what are you going to do?"
Jong-seok reached out his hand to Lee Chang-sik's question. Then, Lee touched several parts of his body before he could react.
Tata blame!
"Huh?"
Suddenly, Lee Chang-sik looked at Jong-seok, who touched his body, with his body.
"What did you do?”
"What's your name?"
"Me?"
"What's your name?"
"What's wrong?"
When Lee Chang-sik said, "Do you ask because you don't know?" Jong-seok looked at him quietly. Lee Chang-sik said with a relish to the gaze.
"Lee Chang-sik."
"Where to Live."
"Taejin-dong."
"Have you ever cheated on your girlfriend?"
"What?"
"Tell me."
"None... ..Argh!"
Lee Chang-sik, who was talking, screamed for a moment and hurriedly shut his mouth.
As soon as I said it, my whole body ached. But the pain ended momentarily.
Lee Chang-sik saw Jong-seok with surprised eyes as the pain that came suddenly disappeared again.
"What is this?"
Jong-seok stood up at the sight of Lee Chang-sik with surprised eyes and bowed his head around him.
"I'm sorry. My friend is sick."
Lee Chang-sik frowned at Jong-seok's words.
"What are you talking about?"
"Shh!"
Then said Jong-seok, who sat down.
"Have you ever cheated on your girlfriend? This is trash."
"That's... ...just a little flirtatious.”
"That's not your body."
"Never mind. What's this?"
Jong-seok said Lee Chang-sik, touching his body.
"When I lied, I pressed the blood that would shock my body."
"Do you have that kind of blood?”
"He's got a lot of blood."
"But...... isn't it useless for him to exercise his right to remain silent? You'd have to tell a lie to be a stimulus and what to do?"
"This is just an example. There's a lot of ways to get him to talk, even if it's
"You mean there's a way, right?"”
"Yes."
"Okay."
When Lee Chang-sik woke up from his seat, Jong-seok took out his cell phone and checked the time and said,
"I can't go right away."
"Why?"
"I have patients to see. I'll see the patients."
"Okay."
Jong-seok, who broke up with Lee Chang-sik, returned to the hospital and treated him quickly in the afternoon.
Since Jongseok is receiving treatment mainly from patients who are booked, he made them come as soon as possible to complete the treatment.
