“Thief?”

When I heard the news, I was surprised and told Shin Hye-na from the waiting room, Han Seung-hyung Chan said 'Shh’ and put his finger on my mouth.

“Maybe he's still in the audience. ”

“In there? Did you call it in? ”

“Uh, the road from the nearest district to the police. ”

Shin Hye-na grabbed Yoon Yi-sul's hand, which was murky.

“What a world it is today. We've got the CCTV evidence, so if the cops come, we'll get them. ”

Yoon Iseol bowed his head, thanking Shin Hye-na for her comfort. And Minho's gaze stayed on him. He looks at the ceiling and the wall, looking at something much more shocked than himself.

Like Yoon Lee Seol, Shin Hye-na who was watching Min-ho whispered low.

“Hey, Jules, what are you doing? ”

“I don't know, you haven't said anything since you asked me to wait a minute. ”

Soon after, Minho awoke from his thoughts.

“Lee Seol.”

“Yes, brother. ”

“Keep watching the CCTV. See if I can.”

“Yes?”

Min Ho disappeared inward while tilting his head.

Yoon Iseol, who was staring at the monitor under the counter, tilted his head as he could not see Minho's appearance anywhere on the split screen. Then, in front of her visit, a man with a hat pressed firmly.

“Huh? Burr, the culprit? ”

However, he was a little different from the unsub I saw earlier. After carrying his guitar out of the room, he waves to the CCTV.

“It's Minho.”

Shin Hye-na was surprised when she said this.

“You didn't see us move on the other screen. ”

The first thing Minho did to find the thief was to locate the CCTV details. One at the entrance, three inside the cafe, and one in the back hallway. Thanks to the ring, the route was simple.

Even though there were six CCTV's, there were many gaps in the structure of the back room that looked like a maze. The room where the theft took place was exposed to CCTV at least across the hallway, but the distance made it difficult to see a detailed face.

Minho took his guitar out of the waiting room and waved his hand toward the CCTV.

There was enough sneaking in and out of the cafe to get to the back room. If I went into a room with stage costumes in the middle, I could disguise myself to perfection.

In fact, Minho even found a hat that looked similar to the unsub and tried it on himself.

‘This guy, it's a plan. ’

If you were looking for money, you could have broken into another hidden room, but what you lost was the harmonica. No, only one bag of Lee. The last thing I suspected was that his fans had increased dramatically and someone was trying to steal his stuff. If you're a big fan, you can have the urge to own something from a star.

Min Ho walked out of the back room and approached Yoon Iseol at the register.

“Brother, how did you get in here? ”

“If you turn around and stick to the bathroom wall, there's no exposure. That's what the thief would have done. ”

Seeing Minho, who had identified the structure at once and proved the blind spot of the surveillance, Han Seung-hyung asked in ridicule.

“If we stop him here, Min-ho will just find the culprit. ”

Shin Hye-na slapped Han Seung-hyun's back.

“What are you talking about, Seungchan? You're a criminal if you steal it openly. You know what you're getting into. Don't move until the police get here. ”

Minho smiled and presented the guitar case to Yoon Iseol.

“It's almost 9: 00. Lee Seol, you go up on schedule and perform. If we mess up before the cops get here, the unsub could get away. ”

“What about you?”

Min-ho, who wore glasses in her arms, said.

“We need to keep a close eye on who's going out. ”

Harmonica, which contains all kinds of memories of Lee Seul, can never be let to steal. Minho immediately began to observe the guests sitting around dozens of tables behind a column near the entrance.

Yoon Lee Seol took his guitar and headed to the waiting seat next to the stage.

“You have to be prepared. It's my first time today. ”

Han Seung Chan approached Shin Hye-na. HyeShin pierced Han Seung-hyung's side and pointed to Min-ho.

Minho is writing something on the note, looking at one of the customers.

What's he doing? ’Shin Hye-na's eyes said, Han Seung-hyun smiled bloody.

“I told you before. It's unique.”

* * *

At 9 p.m., ONCE's evening live performance began with the cheerful healing music of the Indie Jazz Band Spot. As Shinhyena's voice echoed in the cafe, the excited guests clapped their hands and followed.

“Oh, I feel dizzy. ”

Minho took off his glasses rather than looking at the faces of people who came up with "Joy." I wore it for the last 20 minutes, repeated it naked, and the world revolved.

Still, there was a result.

For 20 minutes, I made sure to distinguish between the person sitting in there and the person who didn't.

‘Probably one of three. ’

Among the suspects listed on the memo, there was a person who was experiencing an emotional state that never thought he would have been here to enjoy the stage.

Among them, Minho's gaze remained on a person filled with the color of "Tension and Herbs." The man in his mid-30s with glasses was staring at the stage and sitting on the bench.

An opponent of the rank that the police will immediately spot when they arrive.

The second middle-aged man's emotion was "thick," but rarely revealed any other emotions.

The last young man was "annoyed." Continuing your search for the entrance, you seem to be using this place as a meeting place, rather than waiting for someone to come and enjoy the stage.

‘Now if the police come and check it out, it's Al's job. ’

Minho felt a little relieved that he was soon to reclaim the harmonica.

Daughter.

The door of the cafe opens and a group of people enter.

Min-ho, who expected to be a police officer and turned his eyes to look at the unfamiliar faces, widened his eyes.

“Dongmyung.”

“Minho, I came here in the second place. Good, right?"

The "magic expedition" cast marched in front of Jang Dong-kook who had been filming during the day. I had already had a drink, but most of my face turned red.

One of the panelists, the writer Ryu Hui, smiled as he approached.

“Dongmyung showed me Yoon Il-sul's video for a while, but I couldn't watch it. I love the song. ”

Actor Hong Eun-suk and twin idols followed by the new country professor. The last time Song Ho-jin came running to Minho and said.

“Minho! I've got a clear trick in mind for dinner. ”

“Come over here, everyone. There's no room inside. ”

Inside the cafe, Turra Minho led them to the bar chair. Han Seung Chan said in the presence of celebrities, "Wow! I received a guest with a smile.

Song Ho-jin said to Minho after finishing the cocktails and pick-up orders.

“You shuffled the cards and dropped them. That's when I marked it. Only Minho can see this pigment. What I see is, um... You're wearing some kind of special contact lens? ”

“I think you went too far. ”

“Is that so?"

Song Ho-jin scraped his head and shook his head, kicking his tongue.

“Song Shaman. Min-ho's magic? ”

“You should have seen it for yourself. Min-ho, show it to Dong-hyung over here. This brother will be even more surprised. ”

“Later. I have work to do now. ”

Minho turned his eyes to the entrance. Finding Harmonica comes first, then friendship.

Yoon Lee Seol came up on the stage.

“It's up!”

Dong-Mook moved behind the cafe and the others rushed to him. While waiting for the police, Minho found the professor sitting alone at the bar.

The eyes of the new country shook the cocktail glass.

“I'm here for this more than music. ”

“Once's booze is famous. ”

In response, Han Seung-chan, the manager and bartender, smiled softly. Minho glanced at the new country and flicked his fingers.

That's right. He's a criminal psychologist, right? ’

Minho wanted to talk about the robbery and heard the footsteps at the entrance. The door was opened and Minho waited for the police to come in.

“I visited because I received a report. ”

After saluting, Minho told the police that he was a police officer. The suitcase disappears around 7: 00 p.m. and the unsub is on the screen. Even the fact that no one has gone outside for the next two hours.

Even the CCTV footage was confirmed by police on the radio.

“… Yes, Sergeant. The evidence is clear, so there's plenty of room to investigate. ”

Minho carefully added to the police after finishing the radio call.

“Officer, there's a man sitting over there in a very uneasy mood. ”

“Feeling anxious? ”

“Yes.”

The new country, which was pouring out a glass of wine, turned its head to an interesting gaze.

Officer Seo looks inside the cafe at the man named Minho and nods.

“I'll make sure of it. I'm going to patrol the other side of the street before reinforcements arrive, so please let me know if anyone leaves right away. Inspect him and send him.”

Minho did not add to the fact that he had already figured out the route to the back room. I'm not a cop, I'm just a friend of Lee Seo-yeol's, and it's weird to meddle a lot. Anyway, now that the police are here, all I have to do is check.

“There's been a theft. ”

After the sergeant disappears, the new country lowers its glass.

“But Min-ho. He wouldn't be embarrassed if he was planning to steal something. ”

“Yes?”

“Veteran bandits have a strong heart. It's all about timing, workmanship, clothing, location. What difference does it make who committed accidental theft and who committed theft using CCTV's blind spots? ”

“That's right, that's right. ”

Min-ho nodded his head by himself. Minho sat next to the new country and asked.

“Professor, is it worth questioning if you don't think you're purely here to listen to music, other than someone who's confused? ”

“That would be a reasonable doubt. ”

Minho rearranged the three suspects' rankings on the handwritten memo. The new country I was watching next to asked me with a surprised expression.

“Wasn't Min-ho the only suspect? ”

“This? I'm trying to find something... It's nothing, so don't worry. ”

Minho, who seemed to wrinkle for no reason in front of a criminal psychologist, felt ashamed and quickly put the memo in his pocket. The professor shook his head.

“What Minho is doing right now is a psychological investigation. Very accurate and accurate reasoning. ”

“Psychiatrist?”

Minho smiled beautifully because he only used glasses to see through his emotions, but he did not make an investigation worthy of a grand name.

“I have a question. What grounds do you think the second suspect is so ignorant? ”

“That's ……. ”

I don't really have anything to say when Min-ho was clearing her throat.

“I didn't do it! ”

You hear a loud noise coming from inside the cafe. Minho and Shinkook turned their heads at the same time.

Minho stood up as she watched a man bewilder her. The glasses guy ran out of the cafe as if he was running away from the police. “There!” also followed the cry of the patrol.

"The culprit?"

Minho checked the ring on his finger and focused on the movement of the glasses running out to the entrance.

Three steps. Two steps.

Minho suddenly reached out his hand as he was one step closer. The Glasses Man tries to twist his way past, but Minho's hand grabs the opponent's wrist as if it were a hook.

“Let go of me! ”

Minho simply suppressed the refusal of the man in the glasses, turning his caught wrist back to suppress it. With Minho's swift and effective movements, Shinsook's chin shined brightly.

“Yikes!”

“Calm down, it hurts when you move. ”

The man in the glasses whose arms were bent and attached to the column. Minho handed the glasses over to the late police officer.

“He was hiding something in his bathroom. Is this what you lost? ”

Patrolman also handed over a bag of palms to Minho. Minho nods, surprised, as she opens the inside and confirms that it contains harmonica.

“That's right."

“It's not me! ”

Even when the glasses man shouted, the police officer shook his tongue with handcuffs.

“Hey, what are you talking about when you're hiding a stolen item in the toilet lid? ”

“It was in my bag without me knowing it! ”

“If you look into the details, you'll find out. ”

Yoon Iseol came down from the stage and ran to Minho.

“Brother.”

“Hey, it's your bag, right? ”

Yoon Yi Seol nodded his head as Minho handed over the handbag. Min-ho nods at her relieved expression.

After joining the other police in the district who had just come out of support, the engagement within the glasses proceeded quickly. The glasses guy yelled at me as he was being dragged away.

Patrolman also approached Yoon Il-sul.

“Did you check for any missing items? ”

“I have everything. ”

“He's a perpetrator, but if you keep him in custody, you may have to come back later to investigate the victims. ”

“I will.”

Yoon Iseol bowed to the patrol who also left.

“Thank you, Officer. ”

A series of noisy guests rush to the entrance.

“I guess there was a thief. ”

“He's got a big liver. You didn't run away after you stole it? ”

Jang Dong-mook, who was in the gap, cried out.

“You're not done with the stage, Miss Yoon. Next song!”

Many guests agreed to this shout and nodded.

“Ah……. ”

Yoon Lee Seol's gaze on people's reactions was towards Minho. Minho quietly asked me if I was looking for something, but I thought it would be silly.

“Do you mind if I come onstage? ”

“Yes, brother. This."

Yoon Lee Seol handed over his bag to Minho and went inside the cafe to finish the rest of the song.

A storm has passed in ONCE.

Minho was sitting at the bar and feeling a feeling of distressed. This feeling that Harmonica was guarding but left out something. The face of the man in the glasses that seemed unfair kept ringing.

Shinkook opened his mouth to Minho like that.

“A quick getaway from the scene for a veteran thief is an essential exit strategy. The profile just says he's not the culprit. ”

“As expected, you don't think the man you just captured stole it from? ”

“I'm not sure about that. There are witnesses who tried to hide the bag, and it's a definite situation. If so, it's better to focus on why. There's no trace evidence as clear as the motive for the crime. ”

“Hard.”

“Hard. The human mind doesn't look like it can see. Do you know Heisenberg's uncertainty principle? ”

Minho, who was filled with knowledge with the ten-year pen of Lim Hee, immediately understood and answered the questions of the new country.

“Quantum mechanics theory, right? ”

“Observational behavior affects the observer. Think of a perpetrator on both sides. Because no matter how preoccupied the unsub is, he or she knows he is being investigated, he or she will consider changing his behavior. ”

Han-Seong-Chan, who placed a new cocktail on the table, asked with his tongue in their conversation.

“You're talking about the petty thief who stole the bag, right? ”

Shinkook smiled, and Minho turned his eyes to the inside of the cafe.

If the unsub knew and used the fact that he was circling the entrance and checking the inside, then if he was framing the man earlier, the police would be on the wrong foot.

But how?

Besides, there's no way to find out without evidence.

Minho wore glasses that he had on his forehead just in case. And I looked at the second suspect. A middle-aged man with a condition of "Dumb but Hot". Now I know for sure. That the right singer is different, but it's a process of opening up to Yoon Yi Seul's song a little bit.

I turned my gaze to the third suspect. The "annoyance" was still the same.

‘No way.'

Minho suddenly remembered the shooter at around 7 o'clock. Minho, who got up from his seat, told Han Seung-chan.

“Mr. Han. Can I rewind the CCTV footage I just saw? ”

“Of course, I took it apart to copy the files to the police. ”

Han Seung Chan immediately turned on the CCTV around 7 o'clock on the monitor at the counter. Minho looked at the culprit on the screen, wearing glasses.

Dark Gray of Annoyance .

“Oh my……. ”

I tried to put up two, but it wasn't easy. While tomorrow afternoon around 5: 00 p.m. Meanwhile, this week's series will end with four.
