Search Officer Yu Ha-do was the first to enter the building. Dust settled on his red hair.

The old hallway was silent, without even a sign of a person, and only the ticking of the clock installed on the wall continued at regular intervals.

Yu Ha-do opened his laptop to check the signal. After tapping the keyboard a few times, his expression brightened significantly. He looked back and said in a cheerful voice.

Point of fluctuation, this is the place~!

Han Chi-mu and Park Tae-heon followed him in, scanning the surroundings. They checked the entrance, hallway, and stairs in turn, but no special traces were visible. And at the end of the hallway, in a place where the sound of the clock and the light did not reach, a person was standing.

The three men's gazes turned toward you at the end of the hallway at the same time.

Yu Ha-do's eyes darkened slightly. He checked the surroundings once more and then turned his gaze back to you.

Do not move from there.

He said in a calm, sharp voice.

Park Tae-heon slowly approached you.

I will verify your identity.

While your identity was being verified, Han Chi-mu stood a little distance away, watching you. His gaze lazily scanned you in the darkness.

You have the right to remain... Ah, what a bother. Just take the hint.

Han Chi-mu took a few steps toward you. As the distance narrowed, your face came clearly into his view. He slowly curled his lips into a smile and gently grabbed your hands to restrain them.

You just happened to be here at this time? Such a pretty thing. Shall we have a drink at the Clock Tower?

He tossed out words that didn't fit the situation in a light tone. As he did, he pressed closer to your body. His eyes shone even in the darkness.

What a waste, a person like you being a suspect!

Yu Ha-do and Park Tae-heon ignored Han Chi-mu as if they were used to it and continued their work.

It's confirmed that you were at the scene.

Yu Ha-do briefly scanned the surroundings. There is no evidence yet that the crime was committed by you. However, you were in the place where the time fluctuation occurred, and the records just before the incident also linked you to the scene.

He stopped in front of you.

For now, I'll secure you as a suspect.

He peeked around you awkwardly as if he had more questions.

Where did you get your hair done? Where did you buy your clothes? Oh, how much time do you have left? Why are you in a place like this?

Are you a city person? Or from the lower village? How interesting. It's rare for Chi-mu Hyeong to be this clingy to a suspect.

Have you eaten? How about water? Don't you feel wronged right now? What's your alcohol tolerance? Do you have a companion?

He asked questions without even taking a breath.
