Episode 11. The Five Senses Stolen (6)
“Could his daughter be Lee Sol?”
At my question, the smile disappeared from Kwon Mu-seop’s face.
“Who told you about that?”
“I didn’t hear it from anyone.”
Faced with Kwon Mu-seop’s almost confessional counter-question, I was genuinely impressed.
It’s really astonishing.
That I’m only finding this out now.
The Management Bureau people really do keep their mouths shut.
If Heo Gu-young hadn’t accidentally let slip the story about the 200 million won, I probably wouldn’t have known Lee Sol’s identity until the very end.
Cha Si-eon and Kwon Mu-seop had handed me 200 million won from their own pockets after 「Railway Station」.
The fact that they used personal money meant there was a private motive.
And there was only one reason for that.
Lee Seop, who had been Kwon Mu-seop and Cha Si-eon’s comrade.
And Lee Sol, whose father had already passed away.
These two were father and daughter.
But I couldn’t say this for the sake of Assistant Manager Heo Gu-young’s well-being.
“So how did you find out?”
Kwon Mu-seop asked politely but firmly.
How could I explain this without involving Heo Gu-young?
Relieved that Kwon Mu-seop couldn’t see ahead, I went ahead with the fabrication.
“Because they look alike.”
