Chapter 412

Episode 412

Lee Jae-heon’s phrases always contained at least 50% of the truth.

This means that Lee Jae-heon must know the underlying truth in order to make a joke, and in that sense, Lee Jae-heon also had a lot of worries. Someday, there will come a time when I will have to tell you about the police officer who was Hong Gyeong-jun’s gunner and Lee Jae-heon’s teacher.

‘I didn’t know that Noh Yeon-seok and that bastard had met in person.’

Lee Jae-heon opened his mouth, recalling the story he heard from Jeong In-ho.

“...Could you tell me exactly what you want to hear? “I’m not asking you to describe my life from beginning to end...”

Hong Gyeong-jun was caught up in Lee Jae-heon’s words asking him to narrow down the range of criticism.

“I’m curious as to why you didn’t inform me, even though you probably knew through a previous background investigation that the police officer Jae-heon Lee met was my shooter.”

“Even if I say this, it really is.”

Jaeheon Lee wrinkled his face.

“Detective Hong Gyeong-jun’s safety in the secret world is very low. There’s no way I could bring up such a person’s story to someone who is so anxious to take care of their own mentality, right? “Based on the details of the investigation, it didn’t seem like things ended well for either of you.”

“...That’s right. “Because I caught it.”

Ha Seong-yoon was impressed.

“Oh, Detective Hong Gyeong-jun himself?”

“...I was the first to witness the scene of his crime. Well, even thinking about it now makes me feel sick, but if I had heard it from the other side, I would have been even more distraught. But why didn’t they tell us in reality? “I’m sure there was a chance last time too.”

Lee Jae-heon shrugged his shoulders in response to Hong Gyeong-jun’s question.

“Because it was such a large number, I didn’t have enough mental space to reveal it... Even if I were to investigate it, I don’t know much about it other than the fact that the two of you mainly worked as a team. I don’t know exactly what kind of relationship it was, but I didn’t want to spoil it by pretending to know. “We weren’t close enough to have this conversation.”

“You look at me like a soggy biscuit...”

“You really mean this.”

Lee Jae-heon clicked his tongue and looked back at Ha Seong-yoon.

“Do you have anything to ask the doctor? “It’s late, so let’s quickly clean up and go back.”

“You look really bothered... um I don’t know.”

Ha Seong-yoon, who was touching his earlobe, asked.

“Are you sure you weren’t treated harshly by that person?”

“A harsh act...”

“No, really, no...”

Before Hong Gyeong-jun could express his resentment on his behalf, Lee Jae-heon’s stomach exploded. In any case, it was truly devastating to have this image of a child abuser cast upon the police, who I found out was someone with the same face and same past life as me. I wanted to throw it all away.

Jaeheon Lee answered with a bug-bitten face.

“...Yes, no. “I said clearly before that I wasn’t.”

“aha.”

“I don’t know what stories have been going around among you all this time, but... I only learned this and that from that person, but I never suffered anything that could be called harsh treatment. Of course, since I was young at the time, I have nothing to say if such teachings are described as abuse, but it did not happen like you think.”

“I’m sure you know what ‘something like that’ means, right?”

“Look at your skill in holding the horse’s tail. I know, I know. Is that torture...? “Aren’t you thinking of something similar?”

“Hmm, I guess there really wasn’t any problem.”

“Thank you for recognizing this even now.”

Jeong In-ho asked with Hong Gyeong-jun’s face in the background looking relieved as if he had taken a digestive medicine.

“Then why on earth do you live like that?”

“Are you going to start a fight?”

“Oh my. I made a mistake. “Then who made you like that, Manager?”

“...That...”

I got a little confused at this point.

It was an overly direct question and I was at a loss for words.

‘I can’t say that because I’m just from another world.’

The world of my previous life was rife with death and violence, and those were natural occurrences. What can we expect from a world where the concept of ‘abuse’ was ambiguous in the first place?

Even kicking out children with no prospects in terms of talent was a common occurrence in my past life. Lee Jae-heon was also one of the children who was kicked out.

Having spent more than half of his childhood in the back alleys, he suffered a lot of what they call ‘harsh acts.’ And he gave it back by chewing it up physically. Since I was born in a world where I didn’t die, it was natural. Not only in the back alleys, but also in the sunny areas, people didn’t think it was strange.

“....”

“Be quiet, Detective. “I have no idea what’s going on right now?”

“It’s true that you look like a snake, but being a serial killer was a bit harsh. “Aren’t Song In-myeong and Sung Dae-young in the same category right now?”

“Um... I’m a bit sorry about that. “If my misunderstanding is correct, I will correct it immediately.”

“Thank you for the quick feedback.”

‘Jaeheon Lee’ nodded as if he had relaxed as he looked at the survivors who had become more flexible with their tongues as they said they had returned to reality. It was a gesture of surrender.

“...I will tell you, so please correct me now. “It’s a bit uncomfortable for me to hear, too.”

“If you tell me correctly. I haven’t heard back yet, sir. Who is the culprit? “It seems like it happened when I had the ability to regenerate, so it must have been a human I met in the other world... is he already dead?”

“As for the dead... I don’t know.”

Jaeheon Lee thought for a moment before answering.

“Can I just tell you that it was one of the... family...?”

I plan to decide who that is after seeing the faces of my family in person. There are a lot of crazy people gathered around, but there must be at least one person who turns into a mannequin.

‘Ha Seong-yoon, I praise your rich imagination.’

Of course, ‘Lee Jae-heon’ has never actually entered the secret world and has never received the same education there as in his previous life. However, if the charges had to be placed on someone other than the snake bastard, the most likely suspects were the family of ‘Lee Jae-heon’.

‘There is a limit to the probability of introducing another character here.’

Even by the standards of this world, they commit acts without conscience, are treated poorly by ‘Jae-heon Lee’, and are so accessible that ‘Jae-heon Lee’ has suffered since he was very young.

Even if he was a regular member of the underworld, he’s so crazy that you’d think he would be. A person who, even after hearing these disgusting survivors, will kneel and say, “Oh, it was worth it.” A person who understands why Lee Jae-heon did not mention the culprit or hesitated to talk about it.

If all these conditions had to be met, it was only Jaeheon Lee’s actual family.

Regardless of whether Jaeheon Lee organized the setting in his mind or not, the expressions on the survivors’ faces were not very good. Jeong In-ho stiffened while smiling, and Hong Gyeong-jun opened his eyes round. Ha Seong-yoon asked back with an expression of doubt as to whether what he heard was real and not an auditory hallucination.

“...Family?”

“Yeah whatever.”

“family.”

Immediately after that there was silence.

“....”

“....”

“...Wait a minute....”

Jeong In-ho asked, taking off his glasses and pressing his forehead. He was still smiling mischievously.

“You’re going to a family event this Friday?”

Actually, it was a family event and a party prepared at someone else’s house, but I didn’t bother to refute it. First of all, it’s okay to see the faces of your family.

“...Assistant Manager Jeong knows, but the more money a house has, the more sensitive it is to events like this. “It’s a place I can’t help but call even the ugliest youngest member who always lives as if he’s not there.”

“So you’re going?”

“I really don’t know what to say.”

Even though I was joking, I suddenly burst into laughter.

“I have to go anyway.”

It may be a bit unexpected, but a funny thing happened at this point.

“It’s an event that all my nephews and nieces come to, so it would be a shame if I, as their uncle, were to miss it.”

“Wow... Really...”

So far, no one has mentioned the police’s name.

The faces of the tired men laughed as if it was funny.

Jaeheon Lee forgot the name of his previous life. I don’t know if it was the manager’s act or the author’s insight, but it was an unfamiliar shock to know that he had forgotten something he cherished. To add another shock to this, the bastard in the police uniform of this world probably knew my name.

The policeman had the face of his past life. It seemed like his personality from his previous life was almost identical. He probably remembered more than the current Lee Jae-heon, and his strength and abilities were probably more complete. Unlike the current Lee Jae-heon, who is unstable and has been cut down on many things.

“...are you laughing now?”

“well.”

Is this change for my happiness or for my hell?

I don’t know anything yet.

“Sometimes you have to laugh.”

Ah...

I’m really upset.
