Chapter 74 Vanished
"How do you like the information?" Pei Yongjun asked.

"I was just about to give it to you. This is something that Senior Zhicheng and I put together." Changing the subject, Quan Enfei seemed relieved. "Take a look."

She handed over a notebook with carefully marked contents collected from various materials about Zico and Jung Joon-young talking about their friendship or private life.

"Okay, I'll take a look first, you can continue with your work."

"Yes, team leader nim." Quan Enfei stepped out.

"Seongsu-sung, what did you tell the team leader?"

Bae Yong-jun heard Kwon Eunbi's whisper.

"What's wrong? Is it a secret?" Liu Chengzhu smiled, "Are you sorry for crying?"

"How can there be..."

The two people's voices gradually faded away, and Pei Yongjun calmed down and sorted out Zico's network of relationships.

Buzz~buzz~
Bae Yong-jun's phone rang. It was Goo Hara.

"Hola?"

"Editor-in-chief, are you free right now? I'm sorry, but I need your help with something." Her voice was a little anxious.

"What's wrong? Tell me."

"My house seems to have been robbed, and I don't know who did it."

"Mo?" Pei Yongjun was slightly startled. "Wait a moment, I'll go take a look."

Goo Hara's home in Nonhyeon-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul
"Did you come in from here?" Pei Yongjun stood in the small courtyard on the first floor and looked at a row of footprints below the wall.

The footprints were intertwined and difficult to discern, and there seemed to be signs of damage.

"That should be it." Goo Hara stood beside him, looking a little uneasy. "I was busy partying until very late last night. Ji Eun's house is nearby, so I went to her house to rest."

"When I came back today, I didn't notice it at first, but when I went up to the second floor, I found something wrong with the window. It looked like someone had pried it open."

"Then I discovered that my house had been burglarized, so I called you."

Pei Yongjun followed the footprints and looked towards the edge of the building.

The thief must have climbed over the wall, then went straight to the side of the building, climbed up to the second floor with a ladder or something, pried open the window, and broke into the house.

It was late at night and no one was at Goo Hara's house, making it easy for them to succeed.

"Yongjun, these guys look like habitual criminals." Kim Yongmin said on the other side.

He is from the Nonhyeon-dong Police Station. Goo Hara called the police first, and he had been there for a while.

"Habitual offender?" Pei Yongjun asked.

"That's right, look," Jin Rongmin pointed at the footprints and marks on the wall. "There's no surveillance on this side of the courtyard wall, so they couldn't have captured who it was. Then they climbed over the wall, ran straight to the wall, used a ladder to go straight to the second floor, and broke through the window. It was quick and easy."

"When he left, he even deliberately destroyed his footprints. He must be an old hand, definitely not some petty thief."

"But fortunately," Kim Yong-min smacked his lips, "they were scared away before they could steal anything. Hara-xi was just giving it a false alarm."

"Didn't have time to steal anything?" Pei Yongjun's heart moved and he looked at Goo Hara, "Didn't lose anything?"

"Yes, nothing is missing. I checked everywhere and everything is in good condition. Nothing is missing. It seems like he just walked around the second floor and left."

Goo Hara looked confused and seemed to be bewildered by this group of strange thieves.

"If you ask me, this is most likely a roving gang. They drove to a nearby area, saw a house with the lights off and no one in it, and decided to break in and steal something. But then maybe there was some noise around, and they got away without stealing anything."

Kim Yong-min said his own judgment, "Hara, you should raise the wall a little higher. You can add barbed wire."

"Okay, Officer Kim." Goo Hara gradually felt relieved. She breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Bae Yongjun with a hint of apology in her tone.

"I'm sorry, I was really scared just now. I'm sorry to bother you." She looked at the courtyard wall beside her. "Or we can do as Officer Jin said and find someone to raise the wall a little higher. If..."

"Hara," Bae Yongjun turned to look at her and interrupted her, "This is not a coincidence."

Goo Hara looked at him with wide eyes, "It's not a coincidence?"

"That's right." Pei Yongjun nodded slowly and looked at the small surveillance camera at the first floor door. "This is not accidental. This is a long-planned theft." "The thief is not a veteran, but an acquaintance."

"Mo?" Goo Hara was a little surprised.

"What?" Jin Rongmin was also surprised. "Is this true?"

"Hara, let's go to the second floor." Bae Yong-jun walked into the house, and Goo Hara and Kim Yong-min hurriedly followed.

The three of them walked up the stairs to the second floor, which looked very clean. Except for a half-open window, there seemed to be no signs of thieves.

"Where did the thief go?" Bae Yong-jun asked Kim Yong-min.

"I've walked around every bedroom." Kim Yong-min turned on the flashlight and shone it on the shadowy footprints on the floor. "Look."

The footprints started from the window and went clockwise around the doors of the three bedrooms, but the specific traces of the footprints had been erased.

"Can I go to your bedroom and take a look?" Bae Yong-jun pointed to the bedroom where Goo Hara usually lived.

"Yes, sure." Goo Hara pushed open the bedroom door.

Pei Yongjun stepped in and looked at the bedside. He saw the erased footprints and circled around the bed, as if searching for something valuable.

"Look, nothing moved." Goo Hara said behind him.

Bae Young-jun looked under the bed, "Hara, is there anything under the bed?"

"Under the bed..." Goo Hara paused, "There's a safe under the bed, but I've checked it too, and nothing's missing."

"May I have a look?"

"Okay." Goo Hara nodded, and her expression became nervous.

Pei Yongjun leaned over, grabbed the handle of the bed, and lifted it up suddenly. The hydraulic power rod pushed the heavy mattress up silently and lightly, revealing a safe under the bed.

Goo Hara squatted down, turned the button, entered the password, and opened the safe door with a click.

It is divided into three layers: upper, middle and lower. The upper layer contains various certificates and contracts. In the middle is a small safe, which should contain valuable items. The lower layer contains several mobile phones and tablets.

"This is the phone I used before. I felt it was unsafe to throw it away, so I kept it here." Goo Hara noticed his gaze.

"The ones at the bottom are the ones I used first, and then they just pile up like this, but none of them are missing."

"Can I open it and take a look?" Pei Yongjun asked.

"Open it? But there's probably no electricity. I..."

"No." Pei Yongjun reached for the top phone, pulled out a pin from his pocket, and then gently twisted it to push open the memory card slot on the phone. "This is how you open it."

There was a soft click.

The card slot popped out.

"Ah!" Goo Hara exclaimed and covered her mouth with her hands.

The card slot was empty; the memory card was missing.

Bae Yong-jun looked at Goo Hara's surprised face with a deep gaze, and a mechanical voice sounded in his mind.

[Obtain 1 truth fragment, and increase the number of times you listen to the voice of your heart by 1.]

[Do you want to…]

Are you scared? Sneaky thief.

"Zico..."

Pei Yongjun muttered to himself and glimpsed the truth.
