Dr. Shin Seonhan: The Doctor Who Sees The Future [EN]: Chapter 121

The Heart Beats (5)

#121 The Heart Beats (5)

‘Here we go again!’

The precognitive dream started again.

But the location is the same.

Which means…….

Does this mean an accident will happen soon at this Susan Fish Market?

‘I can’t let my guard down until the last day.’

What kind of accident is it this time?

I looked around.

At that moment, the scene that caught my eye was shocking.

‘That person…… is the taxi driver I met on the first day, isn’t he?’

Did he drink?

His eyes look crazy.

And he’s holding something in his hand.

A sashimi knife, commonly known as a *hoe knife* [a long, thin knife used for slicing fish].

He was walking quickly towards me with a terrifying knife in his hand.

It’s like seeing an angry bull charging from the perspective of a bullfighter.

“W-what is it?”

I was startled and stepped back.

Of course, he wasn’t running at me.

Because I’m just an invisible man in the dream.

He ran past me and lunged at someone behind me, swinging his knife.

“Die, you bastard!”

“Ugh?!”

*Thwack, thwack.*

Eerie sound.

The sound of a sharp blade piercing through a person’s body, and the sound of metal and bone colliding, crushing the bone.

Blood splatters everywhere.

It’s like watching a gangster movie.

“Kyaa!”

“Oh my, what’s going on!”

“Call the police!”

The people around the market scatter in panic.

The taxi driver gets on top of the fallen man.

And once again raises the knife high.

“How dare you ignore me?”

“Ugh…….”

*Thwack, thwack, thwack!*

He stabs him several times.

Several holes are pierced in his already mangled chest, and blood spurts out, perhaps because the heart or aorta is damaged.

The man loses consciousness due to hypovolemic shock [a life-threatening condition caused by significant blood loss] from excessive bleeding, and the blood flowing from his body soaks the market floor.

‘Oh my god…… a murder. Are you even showing me this now?’

It’s appalling.

It was eerie, even in a dream.

I thought I had become accustomed to seeing blood after becoming a doctor, but it seems that is not the case.

“Hic, you son of a bitch…… ignoring people, you say.”

The taxi driver muttered with a blood-stained face.

And as if he finally realized what he had done, he threw away the knife and ran away somewhere.

It all happened in an instant, in less than a minute.

‘Wait. Come to think of it, that man who got stabbed…… I think I’ve seen him somewhere? Who was it?

I approached the fallen man.

Bald and muscular.

And a dragon tattoo.

He is definitely the man who fought with the taxi driver on the first day.

So, is it a revenge killing?

First, I need to understand the situation accurately.

I knelt down on one knee and looked into the man’s wounds.

‘More than ten stab wounds in the chest…… near the heart, and deep. Moreover, the color of the blood that flowed out is bright red, which means an artery has burst. At this point, it wouldn’t be strange if he died instantly.’

Gush, gush.

Bright red blood was pouring out of his chest.

The amount of bleeding was enormous.

Roughly estimated, more than 2L [approximately 0.5 gallons].

It was enough to lose his life.

*Chijik―*

And the screen changes.

News appears on the TV screen.

August 30th?

Then it’s tomorrow.

I regained my senses and focused on the content of the news.

The announcer delivered the incident I witnessed in an organized manner.

Drunk.

Dozens of stabs with a knife after a fight.

A minor grudge with the victim.

And even the news that the victim died.

Death, huh.

It’s kind of obvious.

He was stabbed in the chest several times with a knife.

‘How can I save this patient? He is a patient who dies from excessive bleeding during transport after being stabbed with a knife…… what could be the solution?’

The moment I thought that, the dream ended and my vision brightened again.

* * *

*Flash―*

I came back to reality.

The turbid senses quickly return to their place.

“Come this way~”

“I’ll give it to you cheap!”

Waggle waggle.

The noises of the market come back to my ears.

I shook my head once and looked around.

Gokdam Susan Fish Market.

I definitely felt comfortable as if I had come to my hometown until just now…….

Now, it looks as dangerous as a place in a noir movie.

No, what I saw was a more brutal sight than any 19-rated movie.

‘I didn’t think the taxi driver would kill someone. Was he really a gangster?’

No, that’s not important.

What do I do from now on?

I asked Geun-wook next to me.

“Geun-wook.”

“Why?”

“What time is it now?”

“Am I some kind of artificial intelligence speaker?”

Geun-wook grumbled but took out his cell phone and said.

“It’s 6:52 now. I’m hungry, so let’s go eat quickly.”

There’s no time!

There’s less than 10 minutes left until 7 o’clock?

It’s too late once he’s already stabbed.

The only way to save the victim’s life is to prevent the stabbing before it happens.

‘I need to find the accident site quickly to prevent the stabbing…… wait a minute.’

*Stop―*

I stopped the steps I was about to take.

It’s too dangerous this time.

The opponent is a former gangster wielding a weapon and causing a riot.

If I get caught up in it, Geun-wook and I could be in danger.

‘Should I not get involved this time?’

Damn it!

I quickly stopped worrying.

Even so, I can’t just stand by and watch someone die.

Gangster or whatever is not important at this point.

Whatever it is, someone is about to die.

So, if I can save him, I will.

‘Let’s try somehow. If we arrive at the scene of the incident first, we can definitely stop it.’

But where is the scene?

I looked around.

Damn it.

They all look the same.

Even the colors of the round signs are the same.

I tried to recall the scene I saw in the dream in my head.

“Why? What are you looking for?”

Geun-wook asks.

I thought for a moment and came to a conclusion and said.

“Geun-wook, I suddenly want to eat snow crab.”

“Snow crab?”

“Yeah.”

The murder scene I saw in the dream.

They were definitely selling snow crab in front of that store.

Of course, it would have been nice if I knew the trade name, but unfortunately, I didn’t have time to remember that.

“Snow crab out of the blue?”

“Let’s find it quickly!”

“Seon-han, you’re hungry.”

Geun-wook followed me.

The stores in the fish market each sold different types of fish.

I ran to a nearby store and asked.

“Auntie. Do you know where I should go to find snow crab?”

“Snow crab? It’s not snow crab season now. It’s not delicious.”

“No, that’s not it…….”

“Instead, try the croaker at our store. Croaker is perfect to eat right now? I’ll give it to you cheap~”

The auntie said that and grabbed me.

I became impatient.

“I’m sorry. I have to find snow crab right now.”

“No, croaker is delicious in August!”

I was frustrated.

I know that croaker is delicious in August because I’m the son of a sashimi restaurant!

I immediately gave up and ran to another place.

“Our Seon-han. You must have really wanted to eat snow crab.”

I couldn’t laugh at Geun-wook’s dad joke.

I need to find it as soon as possible.

Otherwise, someone will die!

* * *

Kim Il-chun.

He was once a low-level member of the Baekho gang.

But that was only a story from ten years ago.

After the Baekho gang was dissolved, he was driving a taxi for a living.

Although his job has changed, his personality has not died yet.

“Hic…… what are you looking at, you bastards!”

He walked around the market floor in a drunken state, glaring at the surroundings.

He has been living drunk these days.

A few days ago.

His license was suspended for drunk driving.

Damn it, when did the world become so harsh?

What’s the big deal about having a glass of *banju* [a small amount of alcohol, often rice wine, consumed with meals] at lunchtime!

“Damn, damn world…… Keh, Tuht.”

He spat on the market floor.

Then, he discovered someone pulling a handcart and walking from the opposite side.

His eyes widened.

“Uh? You!”

Bald head and dragon tattoo!

There was no way he couldn’t remember.

He couldn’t forget the humiliation of being hit with a surprise flying knee kick in the middle of the road.

“You bastard, stop there! You!”

Kim Il-chun called out to the man.

As if the other person recognized him, he smiled.

“What is it? The tiger tattoo *ajusshi* [a respectful Korean term for an older man] who was driving a taxi back then? Long time no see.”

“Do you work at the market?”

“What if I do?”

“I’m glad I met you today. Let’s fight again, you bastard!”

“Fight what? Has the bump on your forehead that I broke back then healed a little?”

“What? This bastard!”

*Boom!*

Kim Il-chun swung his fist in anger.

But maybe because he was drunk, his movements were clumsy.

*Thud.*

He lost his footing and fell over due to a simple evasion.

“What are you doing? Body gag?”

“Aish…….”

“*Ajusshi*. If you’re old, you should take care of yourself. If you recklessly attack young people, something big will happen.”

*Slap, slap.*

The bald man patted Kim Il-chun’s cheek as if he were comforting him.

“Oh my, look over there.”

“Is there a fight?”

“It’s not a fight, it just looks like he’s getting beaten up?”

Buzzing.

The market people whisper.

Kim Il-chun’s fist trembled.

There is something that makes people’s eyes turn upside down.

It’s humiliation.

Kim Il-chun’s face, which was red from the alcohol, turned even redder.

“I’ll pretend I didn’t see it today. From now on, if you meet me in Gokdam, lower your eyes and pass by. If you pick a fight again, I really won’t let it go then.”

The bald man said that and turned around.

However, he didn’t know.

That Kim Il-chun, enraged, would pick up a sashimi knife from a nearby store and run back at him.

“Die, you bastard!”

“Ugh?!”

The man turned around and tried to avoid him as soon as he discovered him.

However, there was no time to react.

*Kwaak, kwaak!*

The sharp blade went in and out of the man’s chest.

Soon, blood spurted out.

“Kyaa!”

The surrounding merchants scattered in panic.

The bald man collapsed powerlessly.

No matter how confident a man is in fighting, he was no match for the opponent as long as he had a knife.

Moreover, the part that was stabbed first happened to be the left chest.

That place where the heart and aorta are located.

In other words, a fatal wound.

“How dare you ignore me?”

“Ugh…….”

Kim Il-chun got on top of the bald man’s body, groaning and bleeding.

In his drunken state, his eyes filled with anger, he couldn’t see anything.

He was only filled with the idea of killing the opponent in front of him.

*Wheeik!*

Kim Il-chun raised the knife high.

But, at that moment.

His arm didn’t move.

Someone was already holding his wrist tightly.

“Huk, huk.”

A young man was already nearby.

Shin Seon-han.

He was panting as if he had run urgently.

Even so, his hand was firmly holding Kim Il-chun’s arm.

“Stop it.”

“Won’t you let go of this?”

“Put the knife down!”

“What, do you want to die too…… uh?”

Kim Il-chun’s eyes widened.

And after a while.

He felt his body floating up.

Someone else was grabbing him from behind and lifting him up.

“Heup!”

Kim Geun-wook.

A man with a 180kg deadlift.

He lifted Kim Il-chun’s body and powerfully slammed it upside down on the market floor.
