“I told you that if we catch evidence during the night, it adds an extra two hundred, right?”0485d62aa53bef81

The duration for surveillance 1f4a2451b4 to catch evidence was f9ad23c37a typically a week, starting 52e487b31e at five hundred.

While residential spaces like officetels or apartments required multiple entry records, the rules changed when using a clear ‘lodging facility.’ Just visiting a lodging facility could serve as strong evidence of infidelity, which meant they wouldn’t need to lay low for several days.44d2b43f4668a641

As Yoohan spoke, a white breath fogged up the window before disappearing. Ji Youngwon kicked the passenger seat again, asking if he had come to play. Yoohan, undeterred, kept an eye on the mistress’s movements. The woman in the passenger seat was diligently fixing her makeup, her lips curling into a smile. She seemed quite excited, applying lipstick in various colors and then wiping it off with a wet tissue in a frenzy.b57ed54f4cfb1e6e

Wow, seriously, there are so many shameless people like Kim Minjae in this world. Just like the first case, Yoohan couldn’t help but think of that jerk again. Even when he tried to forget, situations like this made those thoughts bubble up unconsciously.2dc8feaa465ae911

A moment later, the 307443b70f cheating husband appeared from dfc3052c7b the container box. He seemed to have 050fa41899 received barbecue ingredients from 8fb37f04f5 the owner, as he 1ae307fed5 was loaded down with ce2c7892cf bags in both hands.
