When a snail falls in love | Liskook

Chapter 36

The first person whom Jungkook and Lisa met in the afternoon was the second son-in-law Lee Minho. He was in charge of the food and beverages segment of the company.

Lee Minho sat opposite the two of them in a delicate, elegantly decorated office whilst looking very composed. While he was already thirty-seven years old, his fair skin and good looks made him seem as though he was still in his early thirties.

"What can I help you with?" He smiled vaguely. His tone was polite yet distant.

Jungkook looked him straight at him in the eye as he spoke, "Following protocol, we need to know about your itinerary during the day of the incident."

Lee Minho nodded lightly.

His statement was very simple and clear - he had a dinner that day and ate until a little past nine. After this, he arrived home before ten and slept until the morning.

When questioned about Jisoo, he answered, "I don't know her well. With the exception of work-related matters, we basically don't contact each other."

After they were done talking to Lee Minho, Jungkook and Lisa shared the same conclusion that he was not nervous, and although he had a rather indifferent attitude, he answered every question smoothly without thinking, so he did not seem suspicious - at least, not at first glance.

Nonetheless, as they considered Misun's traits, they felt that there was still the possibility that the husband and wife had conspired to commit the crime together. However, they needed to meet everyone to analyze their theory further.

The second person they met was Jung Jia, the third child.

Among the children of Jung Family, she looked the most outstanding. Since the day of their marriage, Jung Jia and Kim Jiseok were known as the perfect scholar and the ravishing beauty - they were the model couple of the Jung Family, their names well known throughout Lin City.

Jungkook asked her, "Where were you at 7.00pm on the night of the incident until 5.00am the next day?"

"I had dinner with a friend until 9.00 pm, then I went home." Jung Jia replied plainly. "I woke up at 7 the next day for work."

"Were there any unusual movements in the house that night?"

"No." Jung Jia looked at him unpleasantly. "I don't quite understand what you are asking. What movements could there be?"

Jungkook smiled, then he changed the topic. "How's your relationship with Jisoo?"

Jung Jia took a cigarette out from the cigarette carton on the table, then lit it up and took a drag. "Our relationship is pretty normal."

Right then, Lisa cut in and asked, "Do you know if Jisoo had conflicts with anyone? Did Jisoo have a lover?"

Jung Jia took another puff and replied faintly, "I don't know of any of Jisoo's conflicts as I wasn't very familiar with her personal life."

The evening sun was beautiful and warm as Jungkook and Lisa stood in front of the quiet green area on the ground floor. Jungkook lit a cigarette and asked, "Any questionable points?"

Lisa nodded. "Yes. When she answered other questions, she was calmer, but when we mentioned Jisoo, she subconsciously answered much slower and clearer, which instead made me feel that she was intentionally controlling her emotions. Perhaps she's hiding something."

Jungkook nodded. "There's something else, judging from her movements, I suspect that she probably hasn't been smoking for long."

Lisa's heart jumped. Normally, adults who were suddenly addicted to smoking and drinking mostly did so to fulfill their needs and to release stress.Jungkook smiled. "Young, beautiful, rich. The information we have shows that she's healthy, and the departments managed by her perform excellently as well. What other reason would cause a woman like her to suddenly start smoking?"
