Jungkook was quite certain and sent them another text: "The criminal did it 4 times; however, he did not get caught on the camera during any of those times."
He meant that the criminal was familiar with the park's protection system.
There was a contrast between Lisa's idea and Jungkook's logic; however, Tae and Lisa still had to follow Jungkook's idea.
Lisa didn't accept Jungkook's reasoning, but she still followed his order seriously. Late into the day, Tae and Lisa already went over every single the guards at all 3 parks where the crime happened but were still unable to find the suspect.
In the end, Lisa and Tae went to the TA Park where the first case happened. This park was the furthest from CBD; it was also the last park that they had to investigate for the day.
After the sunsets, Lisa and Tae sat in the office of the head of the guards. There were 40 screens of cameras hanging on the wall in the office.
The head of the guards' last name was Ding., 40 years old; average built, nice appearance, speaking maturely. He gladly brought out all the guards' resume for Lisa.
However, Lisa couldn't find any suspect.
The park had 30 guards. There were 18 people who don't have a Saturday shift; there were 8 people who matched in terms of age, school, and etc. But none of them got any discipline in the recent past.
Lisa wanted to meet them, however, the head seems to be troubled: "There are only people on their shift here at the moment. I'm not sure if others are at their dormitory. How about tomorrow? I can announce for everyone to be here then."
It was already dark when Lisa and Tae left the office. There were stars shining above in the sky. The twoof them sat down on the beach, relaxing their tired body.
"We will start to investigate the guards at CBD tomorrow." Tae said: "Jungkook got here this evening. He'll probably start working tomorrow."
Lisa didn't reply. She still thought about Jungkook's words.
He said: "There was an error that we couldn't have known, that's why the criminal escaped our investigation."
What if the criminal used a way to hide himself? That meant Lisa's reasoning was not really reliable?
There was no evidence, no standard; there were only the criminal's special characteristics left....
Lisa suddenly stood up running to the head's office. Tae followed behind her: " Lisa, what are you planning to do?"
Lisa didn't reply and pushed the door open to go up to the head guard. The head guard D. was not surprised to see them show up: "Is there a problem, officer?"
Lusa nodded then spoke up: "We want to find a person who is not tall, quite skinny, average appearance. He placed great importance on his appearance, spent quite a lot on his clothing. However, his clothing style makes people feel uncomfortable.
He is not in good terms with everyone; he is not close with any of his coworkers.
He doesn't have a good personality, easily angered, and can't take critical remarks.
He often brags with his coworkers that he used to come from a good background."
The head guard listened attentively. Then, his expression slowly changed.
Seeing his expression, Lisa felt a shred of hope, however, still maintained a serious demeanor: "Who is it?"
Tae didn't understand what Lisa meant by that, however, he still reacts and grabbed the resumes on the table to look over them.
"Yang Yu?" the head guard was still shocked: "You are familiar with him?"
Tae instantly grabbed Yang Yu's resume, furrowed his brow and said: "In the past month, he got an award of $500 for his excellency in his job. Also, he worked on Saturday last week."
Lisa received Yang Yu's resume and read it over, then look up: "How did he get an award?"
The head guard nervously said: "An award... in regard to the case. Yang Yu was the first one to find out and helped bandage someone who got hurt with knives hidden on the bench... to be honest, his working ability was just average. Just because of the incident, he got an award from the CEO..."
Lisa's expression changed and cut in on head guard's words: "Did he switch his shift with someone else last Saturday?"
"Let me ask." The head guard called someone and asked a couple of questions.
After that, he hesitantly answers: "That's right, he switched with someone to a night shift."
"Lisa" Tae couldn't hide his joy, points to a sentence on the resume: "Four months ago, he was a guard at a bank in a CBD area."
The two of them looked at each other, able to see the joy and confidence in each other's eyes.
The salary of a guard at CBD bank must surely be higher than a guard at a park. Why did he switch his job? He must have made a mistake then got fired.
Why was there no mention for his resignation? This was quite normal; because, if the employee didn't make a mistake that cost the company big loss, then the company would simply fire the employee. They wouldn't write anything in the resume because they want to leave the employee the means to find other jobs.
Was this something that they couldn't have known that Jungkook mentioned? The suspect changed his job in the last 6 months and hid the information. Other than that, he got an award recently and switched his shift with someone else. That's why, the officers left him out of their investigation.
"Where is he?" Tae said in a serious tone.
The head guard showed an unusual expression: "He asked for a resignation this morning. I told him to come to talk to me later today." The head guard looked up at the clock: "I told him at 8:00 PM."
Lisa and Tae glanced over at the same time, it was 7:30 PM right now.
Tae took out his phone to call the station. His phone suddenly rung before he could make the call. He answered it. His expression suddenly changed: "We're at TA park, a suspect appeared, please be here right away..."
After he hung up the phone, Tae glanced over at the head guard and whispered to Lisa: "Lao Wu called, the team found a suspect from the camera. He appeared multiple times at the parks. The time of the appearance also matched the time when the crime happened. The suspect is Yang Yu." For the past few days, the team observed all of the recordings from the cameras at the parks of the past week. There was so much to look over; that's why they took until now to find the suspect. Shockingly the suspect was also Yang Yu.
At this moment, there was noise of footsteps.
"Brother Ding, did you eat yet?"
The door opened and a light skinned man pushed the door to walk in. He had an average height, wore a black colored jacket inside, a cheap T-shirt tucked in, and a blue color pants belonging to a guard's uniform, not very pleasing to the eyes.
It was dark outside; a cool breeze blew in through the window. The office was in a quiet area; there was only the TV noise that could be heard in the room.
At that time, eyes met eyes. Nobody spoke up.
The man who just walked in was kind of shocked. But with a glance over, he saw the bad expression of the head guard, and also saw the gun on the side of Tae's hip. His expression changed right away, showing mixed feelings: anger, nervousness, ... His quite bright expression suddenly changed dark and scary within seconds.
At this moment, even Tae was sure that he was the suspect.
Yang Yu reacted quickly and turned to run out the door.
"Stop!" Tae angrily shouted and ran after Yang Yu.
The sound of footsteps was further and further away. The head guard's eyes and mouth were wide open, standing frozen in place. Lisa stood in place, eyes following the direction where they were running. After that, she turned around and said to the head guard: "Call to tell all your people to guard at all the gates of this park. If they were to see Yang Yu, don't do anything and call the police to notify the location. Be careful, he has a knife." 11
Listening to the clear voice, neither fast nor slow, the head guard calmed down. He quickly used his speaker to notify his subordinates.
Lisa dialed a number on her phone: "Lao Wu, this is Lisa. Where is everyone at?" Hearing the news, everyone at the nearby location quickly came to surround the place. After a couple of minutes, Lisa felt assured. There was a slim chance that the suspect would be able to escape.
After hanging up the phone, the head guard looked at Lisa. On the face of this head guard was anger and determination: "Officer, what should we do?"
Lisa took out a baton in her purse: "Let's go out to observe."
It was late into the night; however, the big park was no longer in silence. All the lights were on. The sound of footsteps were sometimes close and sometimes far, the flashlight's light was all over. The sounds of the guards' voice constantly notified the situation: "Brother Lee, I think there is someone over there!" "Over here, Er Qiu, where are you?"..
Amidst the chaotic voices, Lisa and the head guard stood at a big space on the side of the building. The head guard's heart was beating fast; he turned his head. Lisa was holding a baton looking over at an area of trees in front, maintaining a calm demeanor.
