When a snail falls in love | Liskook

Chapter 73

It was already midnight and the sky outside the window was dark and gloomy. Nevertheless, the criminal police unit's office was as bright as daytime.

Jungkook, Lisa and rest were looking at Chanyeol who was sitting quietly in the interrogation room through the tinted glass window. He wore a suit today but no tie. Instead, he had loosened a button on his shirt which made him look a little more casual than usual. The look on his face displayed his emotions clearly as he was frowning a little with a cold look in his eyes.

Taehyung walked into the other side of the room with the stack of documents in his hand. "Captain, we have finally gotten verification on Chanyeol's company from Hong Kong. His company had agreed several contracts with Baekhyun's company which they both personally signed, so they definitely knew each other."

Everyone was energized since the two knew each other-it was possible that Chanyeol was imitating Baekhyun.

Jungkook took the stack of paper and carefully read them. He hinted at Old Wu with his eyes and they both entered the interrogation room.

Chanyeol heard movement and thus raised his head. Since he had initially thought of Jungkook as a friend, only to be put in such a situation, he merely stared at Jungkook without saying anything.

Jungkook greeted him. "Hello, Mr. Park. I'm so sorry to disturb you today but I have brought you to the police station to assist in our investigations."

Chanyeol sighed. "Since you all are Rosé's colleagues, I will contain my anger. However, I don't understand why you would drag Rosé and I into this investigation? I hope that you can give me a reasonable explanation."

Tae who was on the other side of the room could not help but mutter, "You know, he really does look like he's innocent."

Lisa also nodded, his reactions were very normal.

Jungkook's handsome face looked extremely calm under the fluorescent light of the interrogation room. "There is indeed a reason why we have done this. We suspect that the 'Angel Killer' Baekhyun had recently returned to Lin City. He's Rosé's high school classmate, so I've arranged for some of my colleagues to follow and protect Rosé. They heard her scream in the villa today and they thought that Baekhyun had hurt the two of you. That's the reason why they broke into the villa. This happened suddenly and unexpectedly so I hope you understand."

Chanyeol was stunned and he remained silent.

Lisa smiled a little when she heard this. Jungkook was very good with his words and he had cleared up Chanyeol's doubts in just three to four sentences. Moreover, what he said sounded very plausible and if Chanyeol really was the murderer, he probably would not even be able to figure out how much Jungkook knew.

Even so, Chanyeol's reactions needed to be scrutinized.

After this, Jungkook suddenly changed the topic and asked, "Nevertheless, since I've invited you here today, we also have some questions that we would like to clarify."

The look on Chanyeol's face did not change and he nodded. "Go ahead and ask."

Old Wu began, "Mr. Park, in the past three months, your private car has entered and exited the forest area very frequently. What is the reason for this?"

Chanyeol answered briefly, "I renovated the villa, the one that you all barged into today."

Old Wu said, "You're one of the higher-ups in your company, so you would be very busy at work. Why would you need to personally monitor the progress of your villa's renovation?"
