“I told you that if we catch evidence during the night, it adds an extra two hundred, right?”67b78746cb6e2de1

The duration for d9c104da3b surveillance to catch d9d1625058 evidence was typically c213fa8fc6 a week, starting e51b6664f4 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.d27cfc56d8142f5c

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.29077c5cb2ec5356

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.2d11c0a8151f299d

A moment later, 15099457d2 the cheating husband 83c7439d08 appeared from the 33687d6940 container box.

As Gu Kangsan opened the driver’s door and left, silence enveloped the car. Yoohan passed the time by looking out the window. He had never set foot in Gangwon-do for evidence gathering before.

Gu Kangsan 30d23ad575 handed the a22d5dc1ff keys to da950dc0f3 Yoohan and 2ab8d426f8 headed back 89022a55cb to the bd7e98d39c office with efbca101e8 heavy steps. As Yoohan examined aba468692f the square plastic 94bacd70db key, he opened c5de20ffca the door. The lodging f0e9ca8f5f they entered 7e4116a2b9 had a 81b6819523 fairly spacious 9c800e0f10 living room a992231904 and one 65ea68365c bedroom. A balcony connected 002fccc161 to the outside 552af04053 had glass sliding 1f348a7afb doors that opened 4e971057a0 up to a d12ac6f9cc view of the 76ed3274eb expansive forest and 8e07925ba5 stream.

Yoohan stood there, edcc6356b2 mouth agape, slowly 041934cd6b approaching the balcony. The balcony dae8dec2ea had a cefd1d0f0b split wooden 5c944f1c93 table and ee7b97edb2 four backless c2bcffc569 chairs, likely 04b209eb4b where they 5c525244e1 would grill e20ebe8628 meat. Even as 2077073ca8 he tried 353060c3fe to calm abb54cd85e his fluttering 3da7235444 heart, the 4cdda07662 refreshing scent e2c7b8e693 of phytoncides e083a31d91 wafting in ed7c503fdf through his 817b4553bc nose kept bd78f3c6b8 tickling his 51bf4f3a81 heart. Perhaps it was because c4df14f9fa the house was made 2e3ae0de99 of wood, or maybe 4fa534491e it was because the b7eed843d8 balcony was wide open, 86bf5c6532 but the smell of 12a3cbb193 nature was strong.226cd804f4dcd113
