When a snail falls in love | Liskook

Chapter 30

Lisa was sitting, motionless and silent, when the phone suddenly rang from an unknown number.

A respectful and gentle voice came from the other line: "Hello, are you Ms. Lisa? Sorry to bother you, but I am the manager of XXX restaurant on the cruise ship. Jisoo and you have booked an appointment for lunch today, but I couldn't get in contact with Ms. Jung.."

Lisa tightly held her cellphone, lowered her head, and stared at the shadow on the light blue-colored floor.

"Sorry, we can't make it."

Without the presence of Lisa, Jungkook asked Jaehyun for more details, including his meeting with Jisoo. What he said to her, how long he had stayed with a female friend, and up to what time last night, and the location of it.

Facing Jungkook, Jaehyun didn't feel embarrassed. His face was emotionless, he was very cooperative with Jungkook, answering all of the questions.

Jungkook asked: "Why did you say "I'm sorry." "

Jaehyun was silent for a few seconds before speaking: "Lisa said that when Jisoo was injured, I didn't dare to give her emergency treatment. I apologized because of that. You can ask Lisa about this."

Rosé added: "Why were you alone for a few hours yesterday? Where did you go?"

Seeing Rosé's beautiful face, Jaehyun suddenly remembered Lisa's words: "Your interest and concern towards women is more intense than normal people."

Jaehyun felt upset, tilting his head to look elsewhere, and not looking at Rosé's eyes. He stiffly answered: "Because I quarreled with Lisa. Ms. Officer, I don't want to answer personal questions."

When he was finished with the interrogation, Jungkook went back to the office and ordered people to find evidence proving Jaehyun's statement. He quickly received the result, many people could testify that Jaehyun and a female had booked a hotel room. The hotel manager on duty and the surveillance video could attest that Jaehyun had left the hotel at 5 am.

Jungkook ordered his subordinates to let Jaehyun go. He held a box of cigarettes and walked out to the corridor. Thinking while lighting up his cigarette, he then heard a crisp voice: "Lisa, what's wrong?" It was Rosé's voice.

Jungkook glanced up, the two girls were sitting at the corner in the corridor. It was next to the files room, and no one else was in sight.

"Nothing." Lisa lowered her head.

Rosé sighed.

Jungkook looked away. He leaned on the wall and smoked, pondering about the case.

At this time, Rosé said softly: "Lisa, you should talk about it if you are unhappy. We're friends." Lisa remained silent.

Rosé was also silent. Seeing Jaehyun yesterday, she couldn't help but be surprised. He seemed to have feelings for Lisa. It was hard to imagine for her because they really weren't compatible.

Hearing that he was the fourth young master of the Jung family, she was even more shocked.

But Rosé didn't like the type of men like Jaehyun, because in her mind, she had a kind of pride. This kind of rich young master made her feel that he was unattainable, at the same time, she also didn't care about him.

So the fact that Jaehyun went to a hotel with a woman was unexpected, but it also made sense.

Rosé's feelings towards Lisa were quite complicated. She felt that Lisa shouldn't fall into the hands of a man like Jaehyun. But Rosé felt that she would feel more secure if he and Lisa were to get together.

Thinking for a moment, Rosé said: " It's because of Jaehyun, right? Lisa, you need to carefully consider. After all, his family background is different from us. However, if you really like him, then I'll support you."

At the other end of the corridor, Jungkook once again glanced at them.

Surprisingly, Lisa didn't raise her head,and directly interrupted Rosé's words: "Why do you think I'm sad because of Jaehyun? I don't want to talk right now, could you go away."

Rosé totally did not expect this, that a gentle person like Lisa would suddenly say such harsh words like that. She turned red, and turned around to see Jungkook standing not far from them. Rosé bit her lips, and without saying anything, got up and left.

Jungkook followed Rosé's figure, her eyes were teary. He then looked back at Lisa, who was still sitting motionless in place, her face was red. He put out the cigarette and walked straight to her.

The approaching footsteps, the familiar black shirt, and the faint tobacco smell. Seeing him, Lisa suddenly calmed down. The chaotic emotions in her mind quickly dissipated like mist under the sun.

What had she just done to Rosé? It was unbelievable that she had vented her misery on someone else.

Lisa stared intensely at Jungkook's leather shoes: "I'm sorry, I'll apologize to her."

"Hm, what else?" Jungkook asked.

Lisa hesitated, her hands placed on her knees, clenched into fists. This action did not escape Jungkook's eyes, he mercilessly picked out: "At the crime scene, why didn't you mention Jisoo's affair?"

Lisa, shocked, softly replied: "I didn't notice it. Do you perhaps think that I deliberately concealed it?

Jungkook stared at her: "It's true that you didn't notice. Because subconsciously, you couldn't believe that Jisoo would have an indecent relationship with a married man, that's why you were blind to such obvious details?"

Lisa was silent a moment, then replied: "I'm sorry, it won't happen again."

In fact, when Jungkook had given his analysis at the scene, Lisa had realized her negligence, but she didn't think deeply about it. Now that Jungkook had pointed it out, she understood that her emotions had affected her judgement.

When saying this, Lisa still had her head down. From Jungkook's perspective, her slim shoulders were slightly slouched forward, and her head was buried low. The short, soft hair fell down on her forehead. He could faintly see the facial features on the pale face,and the thin neck was also visible. It was unlike a mature woman, but more like a stubborn and weak teenager.

It was her first time at the crime scene, and the deceased was also her friend. Truthfully, Jungkook was very satisfied with her performance.

However, satisfaction was one thing, education was another matter.

Jungkook wanted to lecture her a bit more, but seeing her weary look, he suddenly had no mood to continue.

He did not speak, and Lisa thought that he had finished. As she was about to get up and leave, Jungkook suddenly crouched down.

His dark eyes were on the same level as her, and he thoughtfully stared at her.

Their faces were close, and Lisa was taken aback. The tall Jungkook was crouched in front of her, still as a statue. This made her feel baffled.

Eye to eye for a moment, Jungkook looked deeply into Lisa's pair of red eyes, andfinally said: "You won't do it again, don't cry."

Lisa:"......"
