A cafe in Pohang.
Team leader Go Bae-soo, division director Lee A-young, and team leader Lee Sang-woo met with Rep. Kang Jong-gu there.
I wondered if I had to go up to Seoul again, but Congressman Kang happened to be down in Pohang on a business trip, so the trouble was saved.
Captain Ko Bae-su hurriedly approached Rep. Kang and requested a meeting, and after a scuffle, 30 minutes was given.
“So… what did you want to say when you caught a busy person?”
Representative Kang Jong-gu opened his mouth as if he was displeased.
Then, Captain Ko smiled slightly.
“I think you know it well.”
“….”
“I’m talking about promoting the resort business. Didn’t the land that was already bid go to GT Construction overnight? No matter how I look at it, I don’t think it’s on a scale that GT Construction or the congressman can handle on their own…”
Soon, Captain Ko’s eyes flashed.
“Is there anyone who helped you?”
“…ha ha ha.”
Representative Kang Jong-hyuk smiled and continued speaking.
“What do you want to say that I joined hands with someone to pursue this project?”
“Someone died in the process.”
“…CEO Joo Se-hoon?”
When Captain Go nodded, Rep. Kang burst into laughter.
“That’s strange. “I understand that the investigation in that case has been closed?”
“….”
“Has permission for a reinvestigation been granted? “I don’t think the chief over there will be very happy if he finds out.”
Class leader Ko Bae-su kept his mouth shut in response to the anti-threatening remarks.
And then.
“We are investigating a different case, not Representative Joo’s case.”
Director Lee Ah-young, who was present, opened his mouth instead.
“Anything else…?”
“I received a tip that someone was running an illegal hunter organization. And we suspect that he is also related to Rep. Kang Jong-gu.”
“….”
For a split second, embarrassment flashed across his face.
But even for a moment.
“What is the evidence?”
Rep. Kang soon regained his composure and opened his mouth.
“If you’re trying to involve me in a case like that, of course there’s evidence, right?”
“….”
Class leader Go Bae-su looked at Director Lee A-young.
But she also couldn’t open her mouth hastily.
It was natural.
Because there was no evidence in the first place.
It is a case that has been twisted so that it cannot be caught.
There are not just one or two people involved in this one thing.
In the end, it was just a suspicion that Rep. Kang had anything to do with this incident, and there was no solid evidence.
“Is it really okay for me to spew out such malicious conspiratorial remarks without any evidence?”
“….”
“I don’t think there’s any need to talk further. “I’ll just get up now.”
In the end, Representative Kang Jong-gu stood up first.
It was at that time when I was in such a hurry to leave the cafe.
“Yes, Chief.”
Just then, Director Lee Ah-young’s cell phone rang.
It was a call from none other than General Manager Ha Seong-il.
Director Lee Ah-young hurriedly put the call on speakerphone so that everyone there could hear.
“My sister looked into it with someone in the strategic business department, and they say it’s true.”
Soon, General Manager Ha Seong-il’s voice echoed throughout the cafe.
“There was a push from the Future Democratic Party. “From the beginning, GT Construction was going to be promoted in Busan…”
He then lowered his voice further and continued.
“It is said that lobbying came from the Future Democratic Party. “I want you to push it to Pohang.”
“Who is that?”
“… Representative Kang Jong-gu.”
The moment his name was called, Director Lee Ah-young smiled.
“But when I asked if it wasn’t possible because it was already a bid, they said there was someone else who could help with that. But who that is….”
“I’ll find out from there. great job.”
“Yes, if you need anything else, please contact me.”
When the call ended, everyone there looked at Rep. Kang Jong-gu.
His face was already melancholy.
“How can this be evidence?”
“…”
“Well, I think the story just now is enough of a reason to handcuff me…”
Director Lee Ah-young continued as he approached Rep. Kang.
“Wouldn’t it be better to grind gently?”
“…I don’t know.”
Finally, Rep. Kang Jong-gu, who was cornered, spoke up.
“He ordered it all! I just said I would help, but I had no idea that he would even kill people! It’s true!”
“So who is he?”
“….”
Representative Kang swallowed his saliva once.
“Representative Jeong Hoon of the Future Democratic Party….”
He spat out that name.
At the same time, Director Lee Ah-young’s expression hardened.
I took a moment to organize my thoughts about the unexpected name.
“Well, let’s go to the library and tell them the details.”
Soon, Captain Go Bae-su put handcuffs on Rep. Kang Jong-gu’s wrists and led him outside.
But at that moment.
bang-!!!
The two people disappeared right before Director Lee Ah-young’s eyes due to a powerful explosion that came from somewhere.
***
“What?!”
A university hospital in Pohang.
After receiving a call from Director Lee Ah-young, I immediately went to the emergency room and found her waiting with an anxious expression.
“It was an explosion. “What on earth…?”
“I don’t know. Just as Captain Ko Bae-su was about to take Rep. Kang away, an explosion suddenly occurred…”
Her eyes turned to the two beds.
The bed where the two men were lying was lined with all kinds of machines.
Both seemed unconscious and their condition looked quite serious.
I asked, lowering my voice.
“How did you meet Representative Kang Jong-gu?”
“I couldn’t sit still, so I was looking into it on my own. At that moment, Representative Joo’s body was discovered and the circumstances of using this ability were confirmed, so I persuaded the head of the homicide squad to investigate the person involved in the case of an illegal hunter organization. But…”
She trailed off.
Well, given her personality, I didn’t think she would really stay still just because she was told to stay still.
I certainly expected her to make her own moves, but…
‘To think there was a sudden explosion at this timing…’
That was also because Rep. Kang Jong-gu was the only link other than Choi Jong-hyuk.
Should we really see this as a coincidence?
“But I figured it out. The congressman who helped Rep. Kang….”
“It’s Rep. Jeong Hoon. I know.”
When I answered immediately, she looked quite surprised.
“Choi Jong-hyuk was the district team leader of the Hunter organization. “I was lucky enough to get in touch with him, and after scaring him a little, I was able to give him my name without difficulty.”
“Then, as expected, Choi Jong-hyuk met Representative Joo….”
“It may be true given the circumstances, but there is no evidence yet. “The investigation has ended in the first place, so we can’t dig into it any further.”
“no.”
At that time, Min Yujin, who had a serious expression on her face, opened her mouth.
“I can’t let this go any longer. “If we don’t somehow catch the culprit, there will continue to be victims.”
“You said it was an order from above? Then there’s nothing you can do.”
“I’ll try to convince the chief.”
“It’s going to be hard.”
“How do you know that?”
“Yes, your chief too…”
That was the moment those words came out.
“What the hell is going on! Where is Class President Go?”
A handsome middle-aged man entered the emergency room.
He seemed to be acquainted with Min Yujin, received her greeting in a familiar manner, and went straight to bed.
He looked at the two men in turn with a stern expression, then sighed and turned his head.
“This is Chief Ji Seon-woong of Pohang Southern Police Station.”
He approached me and Lee Ah-young and introduced himself.
“Chief…?”
“I contacted you.”
When I asked with a puzzled expression, Min Yu-jin answered instead.
Soon Chief Ji Seon-woong came up to me and asked to shake my hand.
“Are you CEO Kim Jun-woo? “I heard a bit of the story on the way here.”
“Is that so.”
“So… are you sure? “The death of CEO Cho and the resort business operated by an illegal hunter organization are all related.”
“There is one more.”
“what…?”
I said, looking at the two men lying on the bed.
“This includes the explosion that just happened.”
“….”
At that moment, Chief Ji Seon-woong’s eyebrows twitched.
Anyway, I never thought the chief would come in person.
This saved me the trouble of going there, but there was something I needed to check first before asking to resume the investigation.
I looked straight into his eyes and opened my mouth.
“Representative Jeong Hoon. This name was given to me by one of the illegal gang members. That person is the center of all events. But… Isn’t this a name you’ve heard before somewhere?”
“…!”
“That’s the same name as the person who ordered the chief to end the investigation into Representative Cho’s case, right?”
When I asked, his face hardened.
At the same time, the eyes of the homicide detectives, including Min Yu-jin, all turned to him.
Chief Ji Seon-woong began to look at the thoughts of those who were there.
He looks as if he is contemplating whether to pretend not to notice or to just tell the truth.
I hesitated for a long time like that.
“The position of chief is very ambiguous.”
Finally, he opened his mouth.
“When I was young, I couldn’t understand it either… but now that I’m here in person, a relationship has emerged that I can’t ignore.”
He sighed and continued.
“You are right. Rep. Jeong Hoon… he ordered the investigation to end. “I grabbed the upper line and gave orders directly, so there was nothing I could do.”
“I understand. There is no reason to pretend to be close to important people ahead of your success in life. But…”
I took a step closer to him.
“Hasn’t the situation changed now?”
“….”
“Rep. Jeong Hoon will try to figure it out somehow, now that his hidden identity has been discovered. “If you leave a trace, all charges could be exposed.”
“…I guess so.”
“However, there are not many ways for us to prove Rep. Jeong Hoon’s charges. All we can do is investigate Choi Jong-hyuk and Rep. Kang Jong-gu. But since the investigation is over, it would be impossible to catch Choi Jong-hyuk, so all that remains is…” “
Representative Kang Jong-gu…”
Lee A-young answered after me.
Then the chief opened his mouth with an expression of disbelief.
“No way… you tried to kill Congressman Kang and cut off his tail? No matter what, you treat a sitting member of the National Assembly so arbitrarily…”
“Let’s see what actually happened. We have now lost all connections to reach Rep. Jeong Hoon. Choi Jong-hyuk will disappear again, and Rep. Kang, who was the only witness, will end up like that.”
“Then what now…”
“But Rep. Jeong Hoon made one mistake.”
I continued speaking in a very serious voice.
“It means you incurred the chief’s wrath.”
“…!”
At that moment, Chief Ji Seon-woong’s eyebrows twitched.
“The police were attacked. “This wouldn’t have happened if Representative Cho’s case had been thoroughly investigated in the first place.”
“….”
“So what are you going to do? “Do you want to use your subordinate’s sacrifice as a stepping stone to advance in life, or will you proudly fulfill your duty as a police officer?”
I decided to bet on this.
The rest depends on Chief Ji Seon-woong’s choice.
If you ignore what I say, you may be criticized, but you will probably have a guaranteed path to retirement in the future.
But there is no reward on the other side. Rather, you may have to protect your pride and risk your life until retirement.
It was an obvious choice to anyone, but Chief Ji thought about it for a while.
“…From now on, CEO Cho’s death will be treated as a murder case.”
He opened his mouth as he turned towards the police officers in the emergency room.
“yes yes?”
“You mean…”
“Reopen the investigation.”
Finally, the long-awaited command fell from his mouth.
“Consolidate the above four cases into one case and form a special team. Class 2 begins again, starting with the circumstances surrounding CEO Jo’s disappearance and investigating people around him! Team 3 will track down the illegal hunter organization based on their testimony, and the intelligence team will look into GT Construction’s lobbying incident!”
“yes yes!”
“Oh, I understand!”
“Don’t hold back on support and deploy all possible personnel. What are you doing! “Move quickly!”
As soon as the chief’s order was given, everyone present moved in unison.
However, Chief Ji Seon-woong still did not leave the emergency room.
Looking at his expression, it seemed like he still had something to say to me.
“I… can I ask you a favor?”
Sure enough, he looked at me and opened his mouth with difficulty.
“Please speak.”
“If it’s really a hunter organization… our kids alone won’t be able to do it. “Can you please help me with karma?”
“Unfortunately, this is a case we are investigating privately, so it is difficult to officially deploy an operation team.”
“…is it.”
His head turned down.
An expression of worry and anxiety mixed together.
I smiled while looking at that.
“Instead, let’s take a look at the employees who are on vacation.”
“…!”
Leaving behind the chief who was grinning, I immediately took out my cell phone and called the guy.
“Are you busy?”
“No. Are you having a good time?”
“Then it’s very fun.”
「….」
Well, that’s not important right now.
“You need to take a few days off.”
“…Yes?”
“I’ll explain later, so come to Pohang right now.”
“Yes, yes.”
“Oh, and I’m also bringing Han Yu-bin.”
Because I think it’s going to get a little intense.
“Then we will have reinforcements…”
I continued, hanging up the phone.
“Let’s sweep them all away.”
