Chapter 22.3

“- Detective Tim. Detective Jude, is he not in?”

The moment the voice from his memory rang from behind his back, Tim didn’t bother to stop his face from frowning. Forced to look back, the dark deciduous-haired detective snapped and answered.

As he fixed his eyes on the monitor and threw the sentence curtly, the FBI agent who visited Jude a few days ago gave a shallow sigh. There was no sign of going back, and Tim slowly began to get irritated. When Tim decided to retort something, Jeffrey slowly sat down on an empty chair next to Tim – the one where Jude was originally sitting. You don’t even look 50 yet, are you senile?-When Tim turned to his face, Jeffrey smiled faintly with his sharp face.

Jeffrey stuck out his tongue for a moment and licked his dry lips. The light-colored eyes glistened briefly in an unknown color. As Tim questionably narrowed the middle of his brow, he hesitated and opened his mouth as if he was revealing his own disgrace.

“……then try something else, don’t waste your time with Jude.”

“What are you talking about? That’s because Jude arrested him, there’s no other reason. You can’t believe there’s something, nonsense….!”

“Why didn’t Alvin Jones, then, allow you to talk?”

Beyond the thin gold frame, Jeffrey spat the sentence out, as he looked over as if he was judging the opponent, and Tim swallowed what he was about to shout, ‘Don’t say nonsense!’. His voice eased a little.

“Fine enough, if you don’t want me to scream like before.”

In a low voice holding back his anger, Tim growled. Jeffrey shut his mouth for a moment. Staring at the young detective’s burning eyes, he spoke as if he were luring a rabbit out of its burrow.

“Why are you so sensitive?”

“……what do you mean?”

“You’re close… so you know him well?”

“Of course.”

Tim cuts firmly. Jeffrey laughs in a low voice once. It was a laugh as if he had a child in front of him who is clueless about things, and Tim quickly became offended. There was a sudden chill in his voice.

“What’s funny?”

“Are you out of your mind? All of a sudden…….”

“You must know. So do you know he didn’t even blink an eye when he saw the body that was brutally stabbed to death at the first scene?”

“……Yes?”

Tim’s voice came out a little blank. Jude wasn’t surprised at all at the first scene? Of course, he’s calm about any scene now, but I thought he was immune because he kept watching it. Of course, he always said, “It’s not like I’ve seen it once or twice. What’s there to be surprised about?” But when he saw the body at the first scene, he doesn’t feel disturbed? Can there be anyone like that?

“…….That’s right……. It would have been only in front of others.”



“Really? The veteran detective he’s been working with that day remembers clearly that he’s never seen a rookie like him before. It’s up to you to believe or not.”

“……that……”

With a dazed face, Tim looked at Jeffrey, unable to think of any word to bring up. Although I thought he was a unique and unusual partner, I never expected this situation. Jeffrey said, a little sarcastically.

“Well, I guess you didn’t know. Have you been invited to his house these five years?”


Changing his attitude, Jeffrey drew his chair closer to Tim. His face was serious.

He didn’t feel like rehashing again, and Tim managed to shake his head weakly.

“Watch him…”

“There’s a possibility that he won’t tell you even if Alvin contacted him, so I want you to judge it well. Tell me immediately if you see any strange signs.”



“-Tim, I went out and bought everything you asked me to buy……and got the same thing as mine……. Huh? You’re here again?”

The moment the familiar voice rang, Tim looked up. A blond detective with a plastic bag in one hand was looking at Jeffrey with slightly bigger eyes.

“Are you here to ask anything else?”

“No, I’m here for another business. Has anything happened since then?”

“Yes…..Oh, you’re leaving?”

Jeffrey stood up. Tim looking at Jude with stunned eyes turned his head toward Jeffrey as if they were burned. On his stark face, there was a smile plastered.

“Then, Detective Timothy. I want you to be smart.”

“……Ah…….”

Without even greeting goodbye, Jeffrey strode out. Tak. The door closed and Jude sat down with a puzzled look. The plastic bag on the desk smelled like a freshly made sandwich.

“Nothing…..no, just a little.”

“……yes? Well, that’s fine.”

“Ju, Jude!”



“……uh?”

Jude, who was just taking out a sandwich, paused. Will I get rejected? Then what should I do? Is that rude? Amid countless questions and questions, Jude smiled with a slightly awkward face.

“Tim, I’m so scared of your face right now.”

“……….eh………”

“Yeah, well, I owe you a lot so far at your house, so it doesn’t matter. But why?”

“Oh, uh, I broke a water pipe in the house, and I got it repaired. Now that I’m going to stay at my parents’ house, it’s too far from work, so I think I’ll just stay outside for a day or two.”

“Hmm-huh. Wow. Why do you ask me with such a difficult face? By the way, can you stay at my house? It might be a tough house for you.”

“Why?”

With a slightly dubious gesture, Tim stripped the sandwich off its packaging.
