Lost Memories | A Liskook Adaptation

Chapter 63: As a Monster

4 am.

The questioning session with Taeyong begins.

Regarding this time of day that Jungkook picked, Lisa feels: it's shameless yet it makes sense. It fits the style of a top notch detective. Since they've left the man alone for the whole night, this is the time that he would be the most sleepy.

But Taeyong really surprises everyone.

Inside the well-lit room, Jungkook and Lisa sit down in front of him.

He smiles politely.

As tired as he may be, his eyes are still bright and he still looks very gentlemanly as if he hasn't once let himself relax.

"Hello," he greets them proactively.

Lisa raises her head and her eyes meet with his.

His eyes are deep and dark, carrying a hint of a smile and full of gentleness. On top of the fact that he has a beautiful face, even Lisa can't stop her heart from beating faster when being stared at by this man.

He is really..... a devil.

Jungkook begins questioning.

"Name?"

"Lee Taeyong," he answers, "My surname is two characters, Lee. My name is Taeyong written with the characters fire, feather, and white."

Jungkook asks a few more standard questions, and he answers every one of them without showing the slightest bit of annoyance.

" Kim Ha Rin and Park Hea were killed on the 7th of last month and 11th of this month respectively. Both of them are on your phone's contact list. What was your relation to them?"

Taeyong is a bit stunned. His expression looks very natural. His eyebrows are frowning slightly and his pupils seem to have fallen into a daze for a split second. It makes him seem even more gentle like a breeze in spring.

"They were just regular friends," he answers, "What could be the reason for them to be murdered by someone? Has the murderer been caught?"

Jungkook doesn't answer. He smiles, leans against his chair and starts tapping his fingers on the table lightly.

"We suspect that you were the one who killed them."

Lisa never thought that Jungkook's interrogation would take a turn suddenly; he's going straight to the point.

But this actually works because Taeyong's expression really makes one ponder.

His expression is very calm. After a brief moment, he even starts to smile.

His smile is handsome and captivating as usual, but Lisa catches a hint of proudness that flashes quickly across his eyes. It's as if a secret that he has been keeping to himself for a long time has finally heen discovered by someone. But he's still not nervous. Instead, he's enjoying seeing their reactions. This cunning smile carrying a hint of mischievousness is completely different from his gentlemanly and mature personality that he was showing just before. But Lisa knows very well in her heart that these subtle expressions are the emotions and reactions that a psychopath cannot hide.

He answers, "I know that you guys are suspecting me, otherwise I would not have been brought in for questioning in the middle of the night. But I really can't understand why you guys think that I'm connected to the case. There are quite a few women whom I've had brief relationships with, but we've never gone deeper. I don't even remember what they look like. I am very disappointed in the police's performance today because you guys are suspecting someone who's innocent. What happened to the lady who was with me tonight? You guys didn't bring her to the station too, did you? She must have been scared. Anyhow, I have nothing to do with these two murder cases. The innocent has nothing to hide. You guys can investigate all you want. I have nothing to do with it anyway."
