Lost Memories | A Liskook Adaptation

Chapter 17: Reflection of Beauty

Jungkook smokes for a while downstairs before going up.

When he arrives outside of the interrogation room, he spots Lisa sitting across from Chen Li Jiang right away; they're in the middle of talking.

Bambam, who's been standing in the corridor, comes over, "Super Detective Jeon, Chen Li Jiang is admitting to all of his crimes. He'll be taken into custody now. District Chief says that everyone has worked hard for the past few days, so we'll continue with the interrogation with our other colleagues from the branch tomorrow morning. "

Jungkook nods, and says looking at Lisa, "What is she doing now then?"

Bambam answers smiling, "Super Detective Jeon, you don't know? Leader always chat with the suspects every time. She's very secretive about it and won't let others be around. We've already gotten used to it, so you don't need to mind about her. "

He leaves after finishing explaining. Jungkook continues standing, watching them through the dark glass window.

Lisa looks very calm; her expression doesn't seem like she's interrogating a suspect; she looks more like she's chatting with a friend.

Thelight shining on her face makes her skin look sparkling white, while her eyes are dark brown and glistening. She takes out a cigarette and hands it to Chen Li Jiang. Chen Li Jiang takes it, she stands up, and reaches over to light it for him.

They say a few words, and then Lisa gets up, pushes the door open and leaves. Chen Li Jiang continues sitting calmly. After a while, he puts the cigarette down, slowly covers his eyes with his hands, and lowers his head.

Lisa sits behind her desk and starts getting busy.

Although the case has been solved, there are still a lot of follow-up work that needs to be done. She just wants to finish them soon and then take a few days off to reward herself.

She has just typed a few words when she hears a voice coming from above her head, "What did you say to him in the end?"

Lisa raises her head.

Jungkook presses both of his hands onto the edge of the table while looking down at her.

Lisa pushes the keyboard in front of her away, and then leans back.

"Do you know why he had to hear the sound of the bell?" she says, "It's because he met his ex-wife, Xu Ying, at Baoan Temple. Their eyes met for the first time when the sound of the bell came on. A very romantic story."

She speaks slowly, "And then, on important days like anniversaries or her birthdays, he would go to Baoan Temple and request them to ring the bell. They'll spend the day at home listening to the bell ring while eating dinner and making love. It's very intimate and very affectionate. They found Xu Ying today, and she also confirmed this. But Chen Li Jiang has a bad temper and a low salary, so after being together for a long time, Xu Ying couldn't stand him anymore. On top of the fact that she's a tour guide who leaves home often, so the result is what we see: she left. "

Jungkook pulls out a chair, sits down across from her, and twists open a bottle of water.

Lisa continues, "As for why he saved Sana and her son, he only asked me one thing. He said, 'Have you bought a pornographic DVD before? Have you seen a mother holding a child while selling these DVDs?" I said, 'Yes, many of them. And then Xu Ying told us that she had a miscarriage before. This had caused great grief to Chen Li Jiang."She pauses.

Jungkook has his chin up drinking the water.

His eyelids are half closed; his eyelashes are very long. The light reflects at the bridge of his nose. As he is drinking, his Adam's apple moves up and down.
