Lost Memories | A Liskook Adaptation

Chapter 55: She's Better Than Me (1 of 2)

The meeting is adjourned.

The investigators get up one after the other. The members of the Black Shield Team also stand up. Lisa looks up and sees that Jungkook is still standing at the very front. He's been called to stay behind by the Chief to chat.

"Not bad. Jungkook," a loud and slightly raspy voice says, attracting. everyone's attention.

It's one of the veteran investigators speaking with the surname Xun. He's near his retirement and has a head full of white hair, but he is highly respected in the team. The moment he speaks, the Chief, Namjoon, Jungkook and the others all turn to look.

"Although this case is a bit challenging, as long as we are like Jungkook and put all of our efforts on our solid and detailed investigation work, it'll only be a matter of time before we solve the case!" Old Xun says.

"Yes!" "Yes!" Many investigators start clapping in agreement. Lisa and the others also smile and clap along to support their Leader. Jungkook, on the other hand, doesn't have much of an expression on his face.

To their surprise, Old Xun continues to say, "As for those profile things that use theories and inferences to search for the suspect, I think we should be cautious. Even the Americans haven't studied this kind of thing thoroughly yet, but we're already putting it into practice? Investigation is a rigorous discipline. The slightest difference can have a huge impact. Is criminal psychology a rigorous discipline? I don't believe so." He raises his head to look at Jungkook, and then expresses appreciation, "Young investigators should be more like Jungkook You need to work hard to strengthen your basic knowledge before thinking about solving big cases. Do you know how to track someone? Do you know how to restore a fingerprint? If you don't, you shouldn't bother talking about solving a case."

After he finishes, the entire room falls into silence. Some investigators turn their heads to look at Lisa. Cold Face, Chatterbox, and the others are all dumbstruck. Lisa lets out a "Cheh!" in her heart.

She senses Jungkook looking at her suddenly. Their eyes meet. Lisa is rather calm.

Although she's proud and arrogant, she's not a hot tempered person. After hearing Old Xun's blatant criticism, the first thing that comes to her mind is not to go up and argue back at him. Instead, she thinks: hmph! A stubborn old geezer, aren't you? I'll go and use my criminal psychology to catch the suspect for you to see! When that time comes, I'll throw this line at you old man, facts speak louder than words!

Namjoon says "uh oh" in his heart after hearing Old Xun's words.

His words describe exactly how he feels. It's good to switch the direction back to protect traditional investigation methods and avoid letting Lisa lead these young lads down the wrong path. But this is a bit harsh to the girl After all, her inferences are done quite well. He actually feels that they make quite a bit of sense......

He values them both equally. Namjoon lets out a faint cough. Just when he's about to say a few words to defuse the situation, he hears a voice say suddenly:

"Why do I feel that...... a low and laid back voice says, "my inferences are not as good as hers?"

Who else could it be but Jungkook!?

*Cough. Namjoon chokes on his own saliva.

He lifts his head and sees Jungkook standing in front of his table with one hand in his pocket and looking calm and composed as always. Others might not notice, but Namjoon knows his favorite subordinate well. This fellow is clearly going against Old Xun. After the feeling of surprise, Namjoon's mind clicks. He looks at Jungkook and glances at Lisa with the corner of his eye.
