National Forensic Service (5)

The next morning, I'm summoned to the main conference room. As I enter, I'm surprised to see Han standing at the head of the table, flanked by members of our unit. Dr. Kim and the NFS officers are seated, looking decidedly uncomfortable.

Han's eyes meet mine, and he gives a slight nod. "Ah, good. You're here. I have an announcement to make."

As I take a seat, Han addresses the room. "As of this moment, the Seoul Metropolitan Investigative Unit is taking over this case. We'll be working in cooperation with the NFS, but primary jurisdiction now falls to us."

I blink in surprise, looking around the room. The NFS officers seem resigned, while Dr. Kim looks like he's swallowed something sour. I can't help but wonder how Han managed to pull this off so quickly.

After the meeting concludes and people start to file out, I approach Han. "Sir, how did you manage this?" I ask in a low voice.
