Bad X Bad: My Dear Hana - Chapter 81

“The house where Bo Ji Won was killed…” Do Sejin can’t digest what he’s hearing. “That house is registered with Ahn Hana’s name. How’s that possible?”

“I don’t know either.” He places the copies of papers on the table. He points at the imprint of the seal. “There’s her seal. It was bought 7 years ago.”

Do Sejin is having a headache. “He came to her apartment when she was sleeping. So, he could have stolen it. Did you talk to the previous owner?”

Im Jihoon nods at him. For the last few days, he’s been tirelessly working. The case always ends up in a circle. “The previous owner was an old man with no children. He sold the house and took the money to travel. He died around six years ago due to a stroke.”

The hell! Do Sejin is cursing the killer in his mind. How can someone be so cunning? There’s no option but to investigate the people from her past. He is remaking the list of people, starting by looking at the records of local schools around 28 years ago. Even if it is nearly impossible, he will investigate everyone.

“There is no perfect crime. We will find something.” Im Jihoon picks up the paper. “How is Lawyer Ahn?”

“She’s same.” Do Sejin tells him quietly, “She won’t tell the name no matter what I say.”

“Have you tried convincing her to see the…” Im Jihoon trails off.

“I understand how you feel.” Im Jihoon straightens his back. “Let’s meet again if we find something.”

“Sure, Prosecutor Im.”

At the same time, Ahn Hana’s phone keeps ringing, but she never picks up.

She looks at her reflection. She’s wearing a dark blue dress. The heels are newly brought. She puts some makeup on her face. She turns around and looks over her head. She doesn’t look bad from the front and the back. She glances at the clock. She doesn’t want to be late.

Before leaving, she looks in the direction of the hidden camera once.

When Do Sejin returns, he doesn’t see Ahn Hana anywhere. Worried, he calls Jung Kwang-soo who recently got discharged from the hospital. She’s not at his place. He’s restless and afraid. He is about to call the cops when he sees something on the kitchen’s table. It’s Ahn Hana’s table clock from her office chamber at the Theseus Law Firm. He wouldn’t forget it because she nearly killed him with that once. It’s pointing toward the hidden camera.

He checks the recording. He needs to see what kind of message she left him.
