Lost Memories | A Liskook Adaptation

Chapter 104: The Third Person

3 am in the morning.

Bambam is sitting in front of the computer yawning.

The office is big and empty. Only the light directly above his head is turned on while everywhere else is dark, making the place seem rather spooky. He reaches up his hand to tug his eyelids open and then gets up to pour himself a cup of coffee. He goes back to the computer with his eyes wide open and continues reading the information about the case, as well as to guard that "precious" fingerprint in the evidence bin.

He doesn't know how much time has passed.

A rustling noise.

Outside of the door at a distance, there seems to be some noise, yet it seems quiet at the same time.

Bambam turns to look out of suspicion but all he sees is the dark window with tree branches swaying in the wind. He doesn't think too much of it. He pulls up his jacket and resumes his full concentration to the monitor while humming a melody.

Inside of the interrogation room in the main building about a hundred meters away.

Jungkook is holding a pair of binoculars looking through the blinds watching the other side. Lalisa and Chatterbox also have their own binoculars and are watching with full concentration.

It's been a long while but it's still quiet. Chatterbox lowers his binoculars and asks,

"Leader, how did you guys confirm that Professor Kim is one of the killers?"

Jungkook and Lalisa glance at each other. Lalisa responds first, "When we conducted the lie detector test with Taeyong last time, I already felt that something didn't make sense. There was clearly something wrong with Taeyong, but when I questioned his results, he gave me a kind of feeling that I couldn't explain."

Chatterbox asks, "What kind of feeling?"

Lalisa thinks for a second and says, "Do you remember how I said before that a lot of mentally ill patients are impulsive and can become angry easily where they cannot control their temper? It's in their nature. Although that feeling came and went in a flash, I felt a hint of enmity. However, I thought at the time that he was just more self-opinionated and didn't like others challenging him. Therefore, I didn't think about the possibility of him being a member of the seven-member organization.

It was yesterday afternoon when I became completely suspicious of him based on his browsing activity record."

The image of the data results floats into Lalisa's mind. She lets out a slight "Hmph!" and says, "Kim Seokjin probably never thought that we would install a monitoring software inside the work system to view everybody's browsing history. Where there is a comparison, there will be results. A criminal's and a police officer's way of thinking is clearly not the same." She looks toward Chatterbox, "You quickly skimmed through all the documents and then focused on examining the fingerprint this suits your personality and what your job requires."

Chatterbox, "Oh, oh."

"Bambam took his time and read everything slowly. Taehyung focused on the way the perpetrators executed their crimes and then kept reading the autopsy reports. Cold Face's browsing history was also surrounding his work.......And when a criminal sees the police records of the case from back then, how do you think he feels? The answer is Kim Seokjin actually focused on the various reports from the police including their summarizations, as well as the information on the police officers who were involved in investigating the case. He only skimmed through the information regarding the victims and the killers' method of execution!" Lalisa smiles slightly and looks at the two of them sideways, "I've done quite well haven't I from following the tiny clue to find out the truth!"
