professionalism was something byulyi was good at. the inspector never had a problem with acting professional during her work. but today was clearly different. she was assigned on a new case, she was assigned to take a closer look at inspect what she could found -- and at this very moment, she was assigned to interrogate the dna specialist, ask him if he found any clues, leads as to who the victim was. if it was just any person, she wouldn’t have problems with that. the task itself was a piece of cake, but -- the fact that changjo was that dna specialist she needs to interrogate makes it a difficult task for her.
she took a few steps slowly, going to where changjo was supposed to be, on the lab. she felt quite hesitant, but she knew she needed to do this task soon, she need to be professional about this, personal matters must not hinder her to do her job, and so, she tried to remain calm about this.
byul, you just have to talk to him about the case.
a heavy sigh escaped past her lips, her hand remained frozen on the handle of the door for momentarily. she found herself staring at the door for god knows how long, obviously feeling hesitant about this. was she ready to face him? was she ready to finally talk to him after a few weeks of avoiding him. her eyes shut closed momentarily, and once again, a heavy sigh escaped past her lips. reluctantly, she finally opened the door.
immediately, her eyes landed into a familiar figure’s back right in front of her. the inspector took a few steps forward, and soon after her hand reaches the figure’s shoulder from the back, trying to get his attention, hoping she wasn’t interrupting him with whatever he was doing. she froze on the spot, and for a moment, she forgot how to speak. it took her a few seconds to react, dainty fingers gripping into the folder that she was holding, as she showed it to the other. hopefully it was enough for changjo to figure out the purpose of her visit.
While on patrol, you are called to the attention of what seems to be public domestic abuse—and when you arrive at the scene, you are pulled into action. The man, who appears to look rather frightening, twisted scowl on his face and blood smeared on his lip—currently has his hands wrapped around the neck of a slimmer woman, who—is just as frightening as he. They are snarling, cursing, volatile and violent as you approach. People pass by in curiosity, fear and apprehension, and you must disrupt and put it end to their spat. Feel free to arrest if necessary, but be sure to break up the fight as cleanly as you can. Best of luck, and be careful!
it was a peaceful day at seoul, the inspector thought. after what seems to be four hours of patrolling around the busy streets of seoul, she had not seen anything suspicious at all. not until she had made a turn around the corner of an intersection.
being an inspector doesn’t really mean that all you do was to investigate about crimes and such. from time to time, byulyi did patrolled around the city. not that she had anything productive to do at all times anyway. being passionate about her job, she just couldn’t afford to sit still and do nothing for the whole day, and so that is why she was here, doing some patrol around the busy streets of seoul -- which isn’t included on her main duties as an inspector.
from afar, she could already see what was going on. a tall man, probably on his late 30′s had his hands wrapped around the neck of a slimmer, shorter woman who seemed to be on her early 30′s. the inspector did not even think twice at all before reacting to the scenery that was in front of her, there was no need to think about what to do at these kinds of situation. this needs to stop, she needed to intervene. it was getting out of hand, she could see the fear on the passer-by’s eyes. the more reason as to why she need to act fast, or else, this might get even worse.
“excuse me mam.... sir. is there any problem in here? whatever is it, maybe we can settle this in peace?” she tried to sound as calm as she can, not forgetting to clear her throat before she even spoke up, wanting to get the attention of the two in advance. though she seemed to gather their attention, neither of them doesn’t seem to want to let go and settle this in peace. the man, still appeared to be violent as ever, and as well as the woman.
“no, mind you own business, buddy.” he tried to appear as intimidating to byulyi. though byulyi would have to admit that it was quite effective, still she tried to shrug it off, she tried to remain cool and all.
“but this is my business, now that you’re creating quite a scene here, and you’re causing a commotion..” she explained, her tone still the same as before. this wasn’t getting anywhere. she had observed the man all throughout, he seemed not afraid, like he was just talking to a civilian or some sort. was he aware that he was actually talking to a police officer? he should be right? byulyi was wearing a uniform. there’s no way he wouldn’t know that she was a part of the spd. her eyes averted for quite a while from the man, she tried to observe the woman. she wasn’t looking at her, unlike the man, and she remained quiet all throughout. she didn’t said a word.... why is that?
“if there’s no way we can settle this in peace, then i would like to ask you to come with me to the head quarters.” her gaze went back to the man, he still have the same expression as before. it was kind of frustrating for byulyi though, he appeared very tough, like nothing could tame him. maybe he’s a gang member?
everything went fast as a lightning, and boy how byulyi was relieved that her reflexes were fast. it was quite a relief for the inspector that she was alert of her surroundings, of everything that was happening or even going to happen in advance. her instincts were proven to be correct, maybe he was a gang member after all.
he was about to pull out something from his pocket. the man loosened his grip on the woman, and it seems like the woman took advantage of this. the woman kicked his leg hard, and he limped, causing him to lose his balance. she escaped from the scene a few seconds after. if byulyi wasn’t keeping an eye on the man, she probably would’ve followed the woman, but she knew the man had a weapon since she saw him he was about to pull out something, and so, she decided to let the woman go this time. she’ll probably get back to her later on, probably find her or something.
now, she needed to deal with this man. "sir, i may need to--” her words were cut off as the man pulled out something from his pocket once more, and byulyi, being alert as before, beat him to it for probably a few seconds earlier. her hand gripped tightly against the man’s arm, she kicked the man’s leg, causing him to limp once more, and lose his balance. he also dropped the knife he was holding. byulyi took the chance to hand cuff him as soon as he dropped his knees against the pavement. “i am sorry, but you left me with no choice.” her tone still calm as ever. once she successfully handcuffed him, she grab a hold of his arm, pulling him up.
“i am sorry but i have to take you with me to the headquarters, we may need to ask you a few questions.”
