“That is because.... Before, I read somewhere. Psychopaths don’t stop their crime just because police suspect them. That’s why I went there.”
“But usually people don’t think he would calmly walk around to kill another person when he already got revealed? Then how were you certain that much?”
“Hey hey, I wasn’t certain. I just went thinking maybe he might be there. If I was certain, I probably took whole bunch of police with me.”
“Your eyes weren’t shaking when you saw me. There was no hesitance or fear.”
“That’s because I’m a detective? Do you think I pointed a gun at a criminal once or twice? And in this poor environment?”
“Do you want to know the truth? That time, if you and your partner had single strand of fear in your eyes, I probably would tried to kill you guys. One stab can easily kill a person. If I needed a shield, I could’ve used the woman in front.”
Jude sighed again. Do I have to talk to this guy who says this kind of thing like a textbook for several hours? With this small salary? Why would I?
“But there was nothing in your eyes. You were very composed. ‘I have to catch this guy.’ It was only that. Like watching a today’s TV show like ‘I will watch this today.’ There was nothing else. No anger or fear. That moment I thought I have to get captured.”
“Ah, okay. Thanks.”
“You are similar as me. You look like you are full of feelings, but more than half of them are fake, and actually you don’t really create a deep bond with other people. You are indifferent about getting yourself hurt, and you are a police not because you are full of sense of justice. You are doing it because it’s just a ‘work.’ You didn’t become like me, well, is it because you are lazy?”
That laugh again. Jude shrugged his shoulders and answered insincerity.
“Yeah, I'm lazy. Now tell me where you hid the bodies.”
