“Is it… because of the guilt you feel for having been unable to protect Lee EunHa-ssi’s family 10 years ago?”cc6438a6c94bcba7

Lieutenant Han 93e55d8c1c had a 15fe06b747 strange ability 8a16f9a22f to catch c7aed764ef someone off 3f9e4eb28c guard with 763e5afcef her observations.

After turning her over to the police, he should have put her under police protection. If he had done this, the following events would never have taken place.

In the past, he never understood how his subordinates could tremble in fear because of their lovers, and he’d laugh at them. If his past self could see him now, he’d be absolutely dumbfounded.
