Chapter 26.2

The Reincarnator vs The. Psychopath (2)

The head of investigation wasn’t pleased at the idea, but he couldn’t seem to find a good reason to refuse my request, so he ended up nodding.

Black gulped and patted me on the shoulder.

“Good luck. Don’t be scared.”

I felt just like a son being encouraged by his father before his first football match.

As soon as I left the observation room, I took out my handphone.

Then I started scouring the map of the area around Gangwon Province, scanning the names.

If my memory was correct, then this map would be the key to prevent him from getting away.

I took a deep breath before entering the interrogation room.

As soon as I opened the door, I saw Chu Oh-Myeong feigning indifference.

Although his smile seemed bright, he made it look villainous.

Without a word, I took a seat and started rifling through the documents.

He stared at my face in open interest.

“Hmm. Where did the pretty noona from earlier go?”

“I am Corporal Go Ji-Hun from the Violent Crime Task Force.”

“For a police officer, you’re pretty damn handsome.”

“So you say that you’ve murdered someone?”

“How many women have you scored?”

“If you’re confessing out of a desire for retribution, then it seems like there might be quite a few victims.”

“If you’re that handsome, they must be throwing themselves at you.”

“Why don’t you start with your first murder and go in order from there.”

“Su Jin-Yi.”

“What?”

“You match Su Jin-Yi’s tastes perfectly, Detective-nim.”

Fuck. From the very start, this bastard has kept beating around the bush.

It’s a trick to try and get me caught up in his pace.

Alright. He’s asking for it.

As I lightly spun a pen on my finger, I stared at him.

“I’m the type that satisfies all sorts of women’s tastes.”

Chu Oh-Myeung held a strong complex against the opposite sex.

It had developed because of the sexual abuse from his stepfather that he had suffered as a child and the devastating failure of his first sexual relationship.

Of course, all of that wasn’t important right now.

My goal was to claw at his heart’s insecurities and draw out his true feelings.

So that things would go according to my pace, rather than his.

Chu Oh-Myeong’s look of amusement hardened slightly.

“Even so, Su Jin-Yi did have quite a good eye for men.”

“Was Su Jin-Yi your lover?”

“You could call it that.”

“Did you kill Su Jin-Yi as well?”

“Didn’t you say to start from the very first person I killed? Aren’t I talking about her now?”

I didn’t sense even a speck of guilt from him, as he said this very calmly.

“What about the others? Where did you dispose of their bodies?”

“That’s something that the police should be looking for. Why are you asking me? Are you just going to laze around on the people’s dime?”

The way he smiled with a broad grin as he said this was despicable.

Although I had shaken him slightly, he must be thinking that he’s found his rhythm again

But I’m sorry, did you really think that would work?

Since I’m aware of everything from the future, I won’t be swayed by you.

“Mhm. Looks like the police are nothing special. You haven’t even made as much progress as I expected.”

“How can you say there’s no progress? Since you’ve already confessed, you won’t be able to escape once we find the evidence.”

“Geez. You know what’s up, so why are you acting like this? That shoe, it just ended up in my pocket before I knew it. I had nothing to do with it. Hee hee.”

I glanced at the window.

I couldn’t see inside the observation room at all.

However my teammates and the investigators should be seeing everything.

It might end up being a bit troublesome, but from now on I needed some privacy for the next step.

I pressed a button on the table, turning off the voice recorder.

“You didn’t have to turn it off. I’ve said everything that I wanted to.”

“So you really think that you’ve won?”

“Hm?”

“You’re probably jacking off to the thought that the police, who everyone else is scared of, are nothing much in front of you. Isn’t that right?”

“What are you talking about? Enough. Why don’t we stop here? It’s getting fucking boring.”

“Do you think that this is something you can bring an end to just because you wish for it?”

“What else can you do? You have less than a day left. You’re acting tough, but you’re running out of time to keep me in custody.”

“Let me just say something. Do you know that I’ve learned a little about criminal psychology?”

I stared straight into Chu Oh-Myeong’s eyes.

“There is a high probability that a first-time murderer will dispose of the body by burying it.”

“So what?”

“So I’ve heard that you’re from Gangwon Province?”

His expression was still full of undisguised amusement.

What an absolute bastard. Let’s try making him beg for mercy within a minute.

“Within Gangwon Province, you lived in the Cheongjeong County.

“So you want to search every inch of that place?”

“Not at all. We don’t have the time, so how could we use such a foolish method.”

At the word ‘foolish’, his lips quivered slightly.

Without pausing, I kept up the verbal barrage.

“And within the Cheongjeong County, you lived in the Mokrang Village. You probably wouldn’t bury the body right in the village. But it is the centre of your zone of activity since you lived there, so it should be somewhere nearby.”

Good. The smile was gradually disappearing from his lips.
