National Forensic Research Institute autopsy room.
The autopsy doctor in charge, the investigator, and Chief Go Bae-su of Pohang Southern Police Station’s Violent Team 2, who were in charge of the case, were all present.
“Then… I will open it.”
Soon, the autopsy doctor pulled the door of the storage room in front of team leader Lee Sang-woo, who accompanied him, and soon a man’s body was revealed.
“First of all, there was no damage to the body, so the identity was immediately determined, but I think we need to confirm it anyway.”
“Yes… that’s right, CEO.”
Team leader Lee Sang-woo looked at the body and answered in a somber voice.
Then he asked the investigator.
“Where was it found?”
“It was discovered by Simmani in the mountains. With my neck hanging. The direct cause of death also appears to be asphyxiation.”
The autopsy doctor also nodded as if he agreed with that opinion.
And then he added a few words.
“Given the cause of death and the circumstances, there is a high probability that it was suicide…”
“No!”
But before he could finish speaking, Team Leader Lee Sang-woo shouted.
“Even the day before he went missing, he told us to try our best. This is not someone who would ever kill themselves! This is someone’s representative…”
“Haa…”
The autopsy doctor in charge sighed heavily and shook his head.
It seemed that Team Leader Lee Sang-woo’s opinion could not be accepted.
“I understand how you feel, but… there are no clues at all to suspect it was a murder.”
“Isn’t there a bruise here on your chest?”
“I heard you protested for several weeks before you disappeared. Above all, he said he enjoyed exercising regularly. That alone cannot be considered a murder…”
“No.”
At that time, Director Lee Ah-young, who had been quietly watching the situation from behind, couldn’t help but step forward.
“This is not a bruise from something like that.”
“…yes?”
“This is Lee Neung-heun. A wound that occurs when a skill hits you. “It’s the same with the color and the shape that looks like it’s penetrating from front to back.”
When she spoke, the expressions on everyone’s faces became confused.
Soon the investigator asked her carefully.
“I’m sorry, but who…?”
“This is Lee A-young, head of the Karma Corporation Support Headquarters. He is also the general manager of Eclipse.”
Director Lee Ah-young introduced himself while holding out his business card.
The investigator who took the business card immediately opened his eyes and looked at her.
“Director Ji Support…?”
“Why is the Karma executive here…”
The autopsy doctor in charge also seemed quite surprised.
Of course, the autopsy doctor in charge is in charge here, and his autopsy becomes the official result.
So there is no one here who would dare criticize him.
However, things were a little different now.
When it comes to this ability, she is the best expert in Korea.
“While investigating people related to the International Association, I was checking to see if they were related to CEO Cho’s case.”
“What is that…?”
“We are guessing that the person we are looking for sent someone to deal with CEO Cho. “What…”
Soon, Director Lee Ah-young’s eyes turned to the body.
“Seeing the condition of the body, I am confident. “Can I take a closer look?”
“yes? Oh, I see. “The autopsy has already been completed…”
She gave permission to the autopsy doctor and put on gloves.
And then he started checking the body himself.
“The body is clean overall, but there are bruises only on the chest, right? This means that he was defeated in one blow. Judging by the scars, it is a magic-type skill… but not the commonly used explosive or projection type. “It’s probably a shock type or a debuff type.”
Well, if I had used such a big skill on an ordinary person in the first place, I would have died on the spot.
Lee Ah-young muttered to herself and continued speaking.
“In terms of size and depth, it’s about C rank to B rank. If you are a wizard class that uses shock-type skills at that rank…”
“Who is it?”
“….”
Choi Jong-hyuk.
After all, he’s the only one.
However, Director Lee Ah-young did not bother to say,
“Well, I don’t know. “I don’t know that far.”
“…Is that so?”
“Well, anyway. “If an ordinary person was found dead after fainting after being hit by a skill… I think it would be quite a big problem.”
He took off his gloves and continued speaking.
“I think it would be good if you take note of this and investigate.”
“That… seems difficult.”
“yes?”
Team leader Ko Bae-su, who had been quiet, spoke up instead.
“In this case, an order to terminate the investigation has already been issued from above. “After the autopsy is completed, we plan to hand it over to the family.”
“…what is that?”
Director Lee Ah-young’s eyebrows twitched.
“Who gave that order?”
“well. “I’m up to that too…”
Class leader Go Bae-su shrugged his shoulders.
Director Lee Ah-young approached him with a stern expression.
“A normal person was found hanging after being hit with a skill. From what I can see, it doesn’t seem like a suicide due to pessimism… What do you think, class leader?”
“….”
He closed his mouth.
The words he reluctantly uttered.
“We can’t do anything more.”
“Haa…”
Lee Ah-young sighed in frustration and ruffled her hair.
And then he opened his mouth again.
“great. Let ’s say this is the end of CEO Cho’s case…”
He continued, pointing to the wounds on the body.
“Ordinary people suffered damage to skills. “There are no hunters who can move while avoiding the eyes of our headquarters, so he is probably not a member of Karma… Of course, he is a former hunter.”
“Former hunter…?”
“yes. Did a former hunter cause harm to the general public? “Isn’t this alone subject to investigation?”
Whether former or not, if a hunter used his skills to use force against ordinary people, this is something that cannot be overlooked.
“Above all, there is no way a former hunter would do something like this for no reason, so he must have been instigated by someone. “I think this is a completely different issue from Representative Joo’s case.”
“Who said that…”
“I don’t know that. However, I think it would be a good idea to first investigate who benefited the most from this incident. Rep. Kang Jong-gu of the Pohang district of the Future Democratic Party. “From what I heard, he’s about to be re-elected, right?”
“….”
“….”
Class leader Go Bae-su, who had been silent for a long time, finally picked up his cell phone.
Director Lee Ah-young smiled at the sight.
Kim Jun-woo runs the organization, and he owns GT Construction… and the police investigates Rep. Kang Jong-gu.
Attack all related guys at the same time.
As we narrow the siege, one person will definitely be eliminated.
I don’t know who it is, but if I just leave it alone, I don’t know what else it will do in the future.
And if you go and find it then, it will already be too late.
No matter what happens, catch the vacation before it ends.
***
“Did you handle it well?”
“yes.”
A food stall located in Seoul.
Choi Jong-hyuk bowed his head in a rigid posture toward a middle-aged man drinking in the corner.
“It was disguised to look like a suicide. “I used a skill during the suppression process, but unless you are an expert in this ability, it will be difficult to recognize.”
“okay.”
The man continued speaking while sipping his drink.
“I heard that the Kim Min-ju project was all your idea? “I just passed it on to that bastard, Park Jang-mok.”
“…That’s right. “I should have been more thorough, and I’m sorry.”
“Well, I had bad luck. “Kim Jun-woo is someone who has to see the end of whatever happens once he catches his eye.”
He adjusted his posture and continued speaking.
“Anyway, do your best in the future so I don’t regret bringing you here. “The people below can do whatever they want.”
“I won’t disappoint you.”
The man nodded as if he was satisfied with the answer.
Then he poured alcohol into his glass again and opened his mouth.
“This is why I like the organization. “There are limits to what you ask of an individual.”
“Personal… do you mean?”
“Why is there a guy who was previously ranked No. 1 in the country? My name is Yang Min-ho. He was a pretty famous troubleshooter in this area… but there were only rumors about him. In the end, nothing was done right.”
“Is that so….”
“And we haven’t heard from you since last year. I don’t know if he’s living comfortably with the money he’s earned, or if he’s living a private life somewhere. It’s not just him. The eldest son of Hanbyeol Group was the same. “Tsk, I’m still angry when I think about how I got caught because of that bastard.”
The man clicked his tongue.
But even for a moment.
“Well, thanks to that, we ended up joining hands with the International Association, so it might not be a bad thing in the end.”
“….”
He smiled and raised his drink.
The man’s identity is none other than Rep. Jeong Hoon of the Future Democratic Party.
This was the person who went to trial on charges of bribery in an incident with Ha Seong-tae, the eldest son of Hanbyul Group, a few months ago.
After that, while waiting for the trial results, I naturally thought that my political career was over… but they say that opportunities come in times of crisis.
The international association contacted him.
They offered to help them by not only returning them to politics but also giving them everything they wanted.
Representative Jeong Hoon, who was already hanging on the edge of a cliff, had no reason not to accept it.
Afterwards, Rep. Jeong Hoon took lessons from past failures and created an organization made up of former hunters.
Of course, we received help from the International Association, but in the end, satisfactory results were created.
Afterwards, he was acquitted at trial and immediately returned to politics.
I couldn’t understand how an international hunter organization could intervene in the politics of another country. From what I could see, it seemed like there were already a ton of people related to them besides him.
Well, it’s not just Korea.
In any case, Rep. Jeong Hoon was currently in charge of helping the International Association and keeping Karma Corporation in check.
Secretly and meticulously.
“Um… may I ask you one thing?”
At that time, Choi Jong-hyuk watched for a moment and then cautiously opened his mouth.
“say it.”
“I wonder if helping with this resort project has anything to do with Karma Corporation…” “
Oh, I didn’t mention that.”
Rep. Jeong Hoon continued speaking while leaning his upper body forward.
“Do you know what the most important thing is in the current subjugation system?”
“yes? Well, the operational team strength….”
“No.”
He interrupted and answered immediately.
“The most important thing is to understand the status of dungeon appearances. “We need to quickly and accurately find out the location, grade, and other special information before we can move on.”
“….”
Choi Jong-hyuk saved his answer.
Since that part was the work of the control team, he, a member of the operations team, was unfamiliar with it.
“The fact that our country has a small land mass and good roads played a role, but a bigger factor is that our detection system is quite good.”
“…okay.”
“Where do you think the largest detection facility is located?”
“…Surely in Pohang?”
“okay.”
Rep. Jeong Hoon answered by snapping his fingers.
“It’s not too far from the resort. No, it would be correct to say that they are almost attached. And Lions Clubs International’s goal is to dispose of that facility.”
“But… there’s no way we can build detection facilities just because we’re pursuing a resort project.”
“of course. “If we directly touch the detection facility in the first place, Kim Jun-woo will notice right away.”
“Then how on earth…”
“We’ll have to let people who have nothing to do with us handle it.”
At that moment, Rep. Jeong Hoon’s eyes sparkled.
“This resort thing is pretty big. The largest CC will also be built, and horseback riding and other auxiliary facilities will also be provided. Of course, the target audience is VIPs.”
He paused for a moment and then continued.
“But think about it. “How would you feel if you paid a lot of money for a golden vacation and came to relax, but there were huge antennas moving noisily 24 hours a day right in front of your eyes?”
“I think it would be quite annoying.”
“That’s right.”
Only then did Choi Jong-hyuk realize what he was planning and what he was aiming for.
“We don’t touch the detection facility. That’s the responsibility of VIPs who visit the resort. “If not just one person but many powerful people attack at the same time, Kim Jun-woo will have no choice.”
“That’s why you helped that new lawmaker, Kang Jong-gu.”
“that’s right. “The reason we deliberately chose that site was because it was close to the detection facility.”
Choi Jong-hyuk couldn’t help but be impressed.
If he had tried to shut down the detection facility himself as he said, Kim Jun-woo would have done everything he could to stop it.
However, if things go as planned, an unspecified number of people will unite to surround Kim Jun-woo.
Of course, the attack methods will also vary.
Some politically and some economically.
In that case, Kim Jun-woo can no longer do anything.
Not only is it not a problem that can be solved by catching just one person, but since you live in Korea, you probably can’t turn so many VIPs into enemies.
“Kim Jun-woo will never find me. No, even if you find him, you can’t hold me responsible. I’m not touching him myself.”
Rep. Jeong Hoon handed him a drink.
After making a light toast, the two men poured down their drinks.
“This time, we have no choice but to win.”
Soon, a smile spread across Rep. Jeong Hoon’s lips.
