Returner’s Magic Laundry

“This traitor. We were supposed to eat together!”

After taking off her bag, Eun-chan took Yongcheon's chopsticks and started eating her jajangmyeon in a hurry.

“Ah, sister! it's mine You can make it again and eat it. Why are you filthy eating other people’s things?”

Eun-chan stares at the word “other”.

“Hey, public. We are Nami!”

“Namji, then!”

“It’s someone else. When you become Jin-ah's younger brother, you become my best friend's younger brother. You can’t be called anyone else.”

“Ah, sister! What are you talking about? Jin-ah noona is not even her real sister! Give me the jajangmyeon soon!”

When Eun-chan raises her bowl of jajangmyeon high, Yongcheon clamors to grab it with a small key.

“Hey, let’s eat together. How much do you eat if you eat with this little mouth?

“Why is your mouth so small? It's the biggest in this town. And this is why Annam hyung shot me because I got 100 points on the test!”

“Hey, did you get 100 points? how about? Hey, you have guts~ How about a picture?”

“Hey, I also drew pictures. I'll eat and show you."

Innocent Yongcheon smiles quickly.

“Why are you working so hard? It’s best to play without thinking about anything when it’s only you.”

At Eun-chan's words, Yongcheon paused for a moment.

“… … I want to do something quickly. I want to make my dad rich. Set up a shop like this laundromat.”

“Oh my gosh, he’s already matured. Public, calm down. You can’t get old already.”

“Eat Jajangmyeon and you will mature faster than your sister. Give it to me quickly!”

The public stream is popping again.

Gangnam-young, who was not able to see, hands a bowl to Eun-chan.

“Would you like some of mine?”

“Why do I eat what you used to eat? Hey, stop the public bath. I'll give you just one chopstick!"

Gangnam-young, who is embarrassed by Eun-chan's callous refusal.

Eun-chan and Yong-cheon are arguing and going into a mess to steal the Jajangmyeon from each other.

In fact, the two were more of a joke than a fight.

A common fabric for the 5th grade of elementary school with many dreams and many dreams.

I wanted to be a prosecutor like Kim Jin-ah, a cartoonist like Eun-chan, a laundry owner like me, or a big cafe like CEO Yoo.

A 12-year-old Yongchun with a lot of dreams to unfold in the future, 15 years later, one day when Yongcheon grows up and turns 27... … !

[Becomes a murderer.]

Not a prosecutor, not a cartoonist, not even a laundromat... … Murderer!

The hand holding the chopsticks trembled.

Jajangmyeon, which was going through the throat, suddenly got clogged by something, but it comes back again.

I tried to forcefully pass it, but my stomach was churning and I sent a signal of refusal.

He got up thinking he had to go to the bathroom, but his legs were shaking and he couldn't walk for a while and fell down.

dump!

Gangnam-young, surprised, called my name and ran to me.

[boss! boss!]

His voice is muffled and muffled, and a sharp tinnitus strikes my ear.

I managed to get up with the support of Mr. Gangnam-young, and my eyes met Yongcheon, who looked at me with a worried expression.

He quickly turned his gaze away.

I couldn't see straight.

"It's okay?"

Gangnam-Young's humming voice can only be heard properly now.

“Oh, it’s okay. I'm suddenly a little dizzy... … .”

Yongcheon and Eun-chan also come and ask.

“Brother, where are you hurting?”

“Uncle, are you okay?”

He turned away from their gaze and barely answered.

“It’s okay, it’s okay. Come on, eat jajangmyeon I'll burn it all I need to go to the bathroom.”

Returning to the bathroom, I leaned over as if collapsed and vomited on the toilet.

As the stomach churned and the headaches increased, the memories grew more vivid.

On a hot summer day in 2015, an incident that caused a stir in Korea.

The brutal murder of the son of a chaebol family.

The day the suspect is caught, the name of Gongongcheon is known to the world.

common spring.

Common Stream!

It was a name that only appeared on TV for a while at that time, but why couldn't I remember it?

had completely forgotten

The image of the murder suspect Gong Chun, who was arrested by the police and stood on the photo line, came to mind.

Thousands of reporters gathered and asked many questions.

Do you admit to the murder of Tae and Kang Kang-seok of the group?

What was the reason for the murder?

A lot of questions were asked, but Gong Chun, who kept his head down and remained silent all the time, left only one word before entering the police station.

[That person… … Because he killed my father.]

At that time, I was impatient as the film continued to fail, and I was paying all my attention to the subject matter of the film that was going to hit the jackpot.

Whenever a certain incident occurred, I first thought of whether it could be used as a movie material.

The dilemma faced by film directors.

The media focused on the murder of the son of a chaebol with a bright future, a young man named Gong-cheon, who was living on a daily basis while wandering around the construction site.

People around the world were more interested in the sad death of the son of a chaebol than Gongcheon's miserable life.

No one paid attention to Gongcheon's words, 'Because he killed my father.'

At that time, Taewa Group was the number one general food manufacturer in Korea, and its business was prospering, expanding into various fields such as movies and dramas.

At the center of it all was Tae and his only son, Kang Han-seok, who would always inherit the group, and he was highly anticipated as a promising next-generation manager because he was smart and had a good personality and external image.

Perhaps because of his handsome appearance, he received the attention of many women, and he often appeared in interviews with women's magazines.

In comparison, Gong-cheon was seen as a worthless, useless human who could not take part in crimes at any time.

After being arrested as a suspect, Yongcheon's house revealed was a single, unfurnished, underground room, and it is said that the walls were densely covered with photos and articles related to Tae and the group.

Experts also expressed the opinion that a severe sentence was inevitable because the murder was planned carefully.

I thought that if I could solve it properly, it could be a good subject for a movie.

Around 2015, movies based on true stories were popular.

If you add cinematic imagination to the true story, you could get an explosive response.

Audiences are more immersed in a movie based on a true story.

If you put a single word in front of the movie, 'This movie is a fictional movie based on a true story', it could be adapted into any shape.

Even if it turns out to be a story completely disconnected from the true story.

So the investigation started.

The investigation was not a big deal, and I visited a reporter named Choi Yoo-jung, who was investigating the case, and interviewed him about the whole story.

Among the many reporters, there was a reason for visiting reporter Choi Yoo-jung.

Other reporters wrote articles focusing on Tae and Kang Kang-seok of the group, but only a reporter named Choi Yoo-jung had a different perspective.

However, the article would be taken down as soon as it was published, and reporter Choi Yoo-jung spread a conspiracy theory that it was probably written by Taewa group.

“This case is a kind of revenge drama. Gong Chun was taking revenge on his father.”

Reporter Choi Yoo-jeong started her story with a sharp tone.

“Vengeance?”

After hearing the words of 27-year-old Gong Chun in front of the police station, he wondered if he could.

“The suspect’s father, Gong Chun, was hit and run at dawn in the rain exactly 15 years ago and died. The person who caused the hit-and-run accident was Tae and Kang Han-seok, son of the group chairman, and a group found out about this and prosecuted it, but ultimately lost in the first trial. Kang Han-seok’s alibi was very clear.”

“Then, isn’t it a problem that Kang Han-seok might not be a hit and run offender?”

“It could be… . But 15 years later, problems arose. Gong Gong Chun convinced the person who killed his father as a strong stone, and took revenge on him.”

“Did Gong Gong Chun have any solid evidence?”

“I think Gong Gong Chun has been looking for evidence for the past 15 years.”

"how?"

“Neither do I. Since then, Gong Chun has been refusing to visit.”

This is the story I heard from reporter Choi Yoo-jung.

After closely examining the incident and synthesizing it, I decided to focus on the life of a person named Gong Chun.

If it is certain that Kang Han-seok killed Yong-cheon's father, then public opinion could be in the favor of Gong-cheon.

If it was later made into a movie and the truth was revealed, it could have been tried again.

To do that, we needed solid evidence that Kang Seok hit Gong Chun's father with his car.(Read more @ hotmtlnovel.xyz)

I requested a visit from Gong Chun, and after a long request, I could barely see his face.

With a surprisingly calm face, he did not properly answer many of my questions.

He was mostly consistent in answering classmates and eating jokes.

Unbearable, I asked bluntly.

“Do you not want to reveal the truth?”

“… … .”

“When the movie is released, the truth… … .”

“There is no truth. The truth exists only in that day, that event, that moment. The truth that looks different depending on the point of view is not the truth. What the coach is trying to do is just another situation from another point of view. No matter how hard I try, I can’t get to the truth.”

“Still, there is evidence that Kang Han-seok… … .”

I wanted to ask if he was killed.

“The evidence is… … The truth is… … There is not. I've read 'A Man Named Bildermutt'. There's this verse. "From a high place, I sought the truth. In a supreme place, in a great and powerful language, in a language that is said to have originated directly from God, or from some who have listened to the voice of God. But a great language must have too many, too many contradictions.>,

“I remember reading it a long time ago.”

“I also got this book from someone, but I can't remember who I got it from. But now it has become my favorite book.”

The investigation ended there.

After that, I continued to have hope and requested a few more visits, but was rejected.

I thought there was a book called at home, but it was not there, so I went to the library and read it again.

The novel is about a trial in which the truth disappears while trying to prove it, and a judge named Bildermuth who seeks the truth but cannot find the truth.

What Public Cloth had been thinking after reading this book for a long time, he said, Almando.

He may have seen Kang Han-seok's trial 15 years ago and felt that there was no truth.

After that, I started a new scenario with a different material, and Gong Chun's case was put in the folder where the material was collected.

In that folder, there were many other incidents and accidents waiting to be made into movies besides the case of Gong Chun.

A long time later, I found out too late that I received a missed call from reporter Choi Yoo-jung.

I forgot to contact him, and since then, Gongongcheon has disappeared from my memory.

Rather than disappearing, he became a thing of the past.

I came out of old memories, looked in the mirror and sighed deeply.
