Episode 116

“By any chance, the sensor light installed at the front door? Was it always there?”

I asked Jin Myeong-gil, recalling the object I had seen before entering the house.

Since this house is rented and not owned, I asked if the landlord installed it.

Then Jin Myeong-gil shook his head.

“No. It was installed recently. The landlord contacted me and told me to just wait until the installer came. He’s not going to come into the house anyway.”

“When was that time?”

“So, um… … I think it’s been about a month.”

It was a moment when the suspicions I had were growing stronger.

Heeseong glanced around the living room, picked up a dining chair, and headed straight for the front door.

“Hey, where are you going, Manager?! Why are you suddenly… … .”

As soon as he took the chair and went outside, Oh Sang-seok and Jin Myeong-gil also looked at Hee-seong’s back with puzzled eyes.

Then, I quickly got up and followed him outside.

“Do you have a screwdriver or something at home? I think I’ll need to open up some sensor lights.”

“A screwdriver? Just a moment. I think I put one on the TV shelf earlier.”

As if he remembered using it before, Oh Sang-seok went straight into the house, and in the meantime, Hee-seong climbed up onto the chair.

Then Jin Myeong-gil asked what on earth he was doing.

“What are you doing now, Manager? Why are the sensor lights on all of a sudden?”

“I’m just trying to confirm whether or not it was really done by a ghost. I think I’ll be able to tell the difference once I open this.”

“… … What are you talking about? What difference would it make if I turned on the sensor lights?”

“Well, let’s talk about that after you open it. My instinct is telling me to open it.”

If we look at Jin Myeong-gil’s story in its entirety, there were certainly many points that were difficult to understand.

Even for Hee-sung, who had never believed in ghosts or spiritual beings, it was a little creepy to hear.

However, Heesung trusted the future prediction he had received more than his words.

Because that was definitely mentioned in the conversation with that reporter.

They say people are scarier than ghosts.

The actions of that person were so shocking that they turned the entertainment industry upside down.

So, I absolutely had to open this sensor light.

“My memory was right! Here it is, Manager. It’s versatile, so if you just change the entrance, it’ll all fit.”

Oh Sang-seok handed a tool to Hee-seong, who was climbing onto the chair.

Heesung replaced the screwdriver with the one that fit the sensor light screw and immediately started to loosen the screw.

“What on earth are they doing… … . Why are they suddenly turning on the sensor lights in other people’s houses… … .”

“I guess that’s because you have a lot on your mind, hyung. You’re not someone who doesn’t have any circumstances.”

Jin Myeong-gil, who is still full of doubts, and Oh Sang-seok, who tries to calm her down.

Meanwhile, the last screw was loosened and the sensor light cover was opened.

“Wait, wait a minute… … . What is that… … ? That black object.”

As soon as he opened the lid, Jin Myeong-gil looked surprised and asked, seeing a black object stuck to him.

As expected, the result was not at all different from what he had expected. Heeseong took it off and projected it into the air.

“What does this look like to you two? What do you think it’s used for?”

Since there was nothing to think deeply about just by looking at its appearance, Oh Sang-seok opened his mouth and answered right away.

“Isn’t this a camera…? It looks like there’s a wire attached to it and a lens attached to the front. Why is this thing there…?”

“Could it be that the camera was inside that sensor light just now? It was filming the entrance to our house the whole time?”

“It wasn’t exactly the entrance, but it was probably a specific direction. There must have been a clear purpose.”

“If it’s a purpose, then what is it… … .”

As they spoke, the group’s gaze naturally turned in one direction.

The place that all three people looked at at the same time was the password door lock.

“Do you have a rough idea of ​​the situation now? Why was it in there, and what was it filming inside?”

In fact, Heesung had been suspicious of these sensors since he came in.

Of course, any house could have sensor lights installed, but I kept getting an uneasy feeling.

Because Heesung personally experienced a case where a hidden camera was installed in front of a famous celebrity’s house and the password was found out.

‘That’s how Jang Man-cheol found out Cheon Si-eun’s house password, by secretly installing a camera on the sensor.’

Jang Man-cheol asked Choi Pil-hwan of First Detective Agency to find out the password to the house of an actress from his agency.

At that time, Choi Pil-hwan said that he found out the password that way.

And by installing a recorder in the house they broke into, they were able to track her every move.

By exposing all of his misdeeds through a press conference, he was able to put to rest the rumors about Kim Ye-seul, who was a newcomer at the time.

Because of that, Heesung was able to leave a strong impression on many people’s memories.

After hearing about what had happened to Jin Myeong-gil over the past month, I had become even more suspicious of the sensor lights.

“Wait a minute… … So you’re saying the landlord installed this camera? He called your brother and told him the installer was coming, like, a month ago.”

Jin Myeong-gil nods his head at Oh Sang-seok’s words.

“If you were trying to find out the password, doesn’t the timing match up perfectly? You said that the incident at your house happened exactly a month ago. Then, doesn’t that match up perfectly with the time you installed this sensor light?”

Jin Myeong-gil immediately took out his cell phone as if his mind was already set on it without him having to say anything.

Then he looked for someone’s number and blurted it out.

“You’ll know when you check whether it was you or someone ordered you to do it.”

“What are you talking about? Who… … .”

Jin Myung-gil is one of the top stars in South Korea.

Would a celebrity like that have just one or two fans?

I don’t know if the landlord is a man or a woman, but it could be that he did this to satisfy his own selfish desires, or he may have been paid a large sum of money by someone to do this.

You’ll find out if you check with the person directly.

“Yes. I am, ma’am. Can I talk now?”

After a few rings, the call was connected directly to the landlord.

Because it was such a quiet space, the landlord’s voice could be heard outside the speakers.

“It’s nothing else, but the sensor light installed in front of my house. Why did you suddenly want to install it? It’s not necessary.”

-Huh? Sensor lights… … ? Oh, sensor lights! I didn’t install those, Myung-gil. The apartment complex offered to do them for them, so I just did them for free. What’s the problem? Is it already broken?

“You installed these sensor lights in a group in the apartment?”

At that moment, the expressions of all three people simultaneously became serious.

This is because it means that not only Jinmyeong-gil but also other residents may be suffering from this damage.

Jin Myeong-gil gestured to Oh Sang-seok and pointed to the emergency stairs. Oh Sang-seok, who understood his intentions, immediately started running down the stairs.

“Did you say that over the phone? In the management office?”

Then the landlord brought up another unexpected topic.

-No. It wasn’t the management office. I got a call from a guy who said that they had reached an agreement and that they would start installing it today. He told me not to be surprised if he came by unexpectedly.

“Are you a man? You didn’t say where?”

-Well, of course I thought it would be the construction company. It doesn’t cost money and the apartment said they would do it for free. It was already dark at night so it was difficult to press the password.

At the same time, the sound of quick footsteps began to be heard again from the direction of the emergency exit stairs.

Jin Myeong-gil spoke into the receiver again.

“First of all, I understand, ma’am. Could you please give me the contact information of the construction company employee you spoke with that time? Please send it to me as a text message as soon as you get off the phone. Thank you.”

-Okay, I understand, Myung-gil. I’ll look it up and text you right away. But why? Is there a problem?

“No. First, let me ask you a favor, ma’am.”

As soon as the call ended, Oh Sang-seok appeared, breathing heavily.

“Brother, this wasn’t done by the apartment complex! There aren’t any sensor lights installed in front of other houses!”

Those words sent goosebumps down my entire body.

“What are you talking about? Other houses don’t have sensor lights.”

“I checked all the way down to the bottom five floors, but nothing was installed in front of any other house. That means it wasn’t done by the apartment complex as a group!”

The fact that it was not just one or two floors, but all five floors, meant that it really had nothing to do with the apartment, as he said.

If the five floors right below are like that, then there’s a high chance that the entire apartment will be the same.

Because it seemed so similar to the Jang Man-cheol and Cheon Si-eun incident, Hee-seong got down from his chair and handed the camera to Oh Sang-seok.

“Please keep this safe for now. Let’s start by searching the inside of the house. It seems certain that someone broke into the house.”

“Search?”

“Now that it’s come to this, can’t we say that it’s no longer the work of a ghost? It’s a clear situation that they broke into a specific place with a specific purpose. We need to find out what that purpose was. But we can’t just report it to the police.”

As he was a top star with such high recognition, the report itself would have caused an uproar in South Korea.

If you report it and the police come, it’s only a matter of time before it reaches the ears of the reporters.

So, I decided that it was important to first properly understand the situation.

Jin Myeong-gil and Oh Sang-seok also nodded their heads obediently, understanding the intention.

“That’s true. It’s already giving me goosebumps, but I need to see it with my own eyes to see who on earth would do such a thing and why.”

“Phew, it feels a little better now that you said it’s not a ghost… … Let’s look it up. If it’s not a ghost, what kind of horrible parasite is parasitizing it?”

So the search inside Jin Myeong-gil’s house began.
