345. Side Story After Episode 2
“So.”
Seoul Southern Police Station.
Office of the special ability crime team.
“You two are dating?”
There, Min Yu-jin looked at me and Lee A-young in turns and opened her mouth.
“What does it matter to you who I date or marry?”
“Oh~. So, are you going to get married? Be sure to send a wedding invitation. “Go and play some trouble.”
“What are you saying…”
I burst out laughing at the absurd statement, but Min Yujin didn’t seem to have any intention of stopping.
“Honestly, something has been strange since the Pohang incident. “Some office workers in the world even take time off to go to work alone.”
“So what do you want to say? We did a good job organizing it. “Why are you making such a sudden move now?”
“Organizing is a mess! Why did you dive in without saying a word to someone who had waited for you until the military, and now that you’re talking about being Secretary General and getting married, you’re so upset! “
So, I said there was some misunderstanding…!”
It was the moment when each other’s voices were raised.
“hey.”
A voice echoes heavily through the office.
“What did you two bring here to spread the word? “If you’re a police officer, you investigate like a police officer, right?”
“….”
“….”
Branch manager Lee Ah-young’s eyes glimmer with life.
With that one word, the atmosphere in the office instantly froze.
All the detectives were seen with their eyes fixed and their ears pricked open.
Min Yu-jin also seemed to notice those gazes belatedly.
“…so? “What on earth is going on?”
Soon she cleared her throat and got to the point.
“Isn’t it a bit weird for someone as high as the Secretary-General of WDSO to use his power against civilians on the streets? “Are you oblivious or just stupid?”
“First of all, I have never used a skill. And they used violence first.”
“You want me to believe that?”
“What if I don’t believe it?”
“Tsk.”
I don’t know what’s so dissatisfying.
“Ugh… If you don’t have any more questions, let’s go first.”
I was about to get up when I thought further conversation would be pointless.
“wait for a sec.”
Min Yujin called me again quietly.
“What again?”
“Actually, that’s not why I brought you here… I have something to talk about.”
“Ha, now what else…”
“I’m talking about work.”
“….”
His expression became quite serious.
After looking at her for a moment, I sat down again.
“What is it?”
“How is the situation there these days? “Are there any other problems?”
“Not really.”
“Is there anything strange you’ve seen?”
“At least nothing is important enough for you to worry about. “What on earth do you want to say?”
“….”
She is reluctant to answer.
I looked at him blankly and asked.
“Hey, you’re still thinking about applying to the operation team…”
“That’s not true.”
She said clearly.
And then I let out a light sigh.
“Actually, this is not the first time something like today has happened.”
“what…?”
I heard an answer I never expected.
“These days, we are receiving a lot of reports that employees of the association are caught up in disputes. “There are already 5 cases this week alone.”
My eyebrows twitched greatly at those words.
“Well, seeing as it was a really trivial fight today, I don’t think it has much to do with today’s incident…” “
What are you talking about? “So you’re saying other things are related?”
“At least that’s what I think.”
It was an answer I couldn’t understand.
“So… someone is constantly picking fights against the association’s employees, is that it?”
“that’s right. Also, mainly against the cleaning team. What they have in common is that neither the instigator nor the reason is known.”
“Aren’t the kids playing around?”
“It’s too regular to say that. It’s as if they’re deliberately following the cleaning team and harassing them…”
“Sigh…”
“Well, actually, it’s still a bit hard to call it terrorism since they’re just throwing things or stealing cleaning tools… “You wouldn’t know it when you see the water level getting stronger.”
Min Yujin continued speaking with sharp eyes.
“I wonder if that will really happen in the future.”
I burst out laughing without realizing it.
“Aren’t you being too sensitive? If it was something like that in the first place, there’s no way I wouldn’t have known about it. There was definitely a report….”
“….”
As I said that and looked at Lee Ah-young, I saw that he was sweating with a quite embarrassed expression.
“…What is it?”
“Oh…”
“Surely you knew?”
“….”
It was a reaction that seemed like he knew the answer even if he didn’t answer.
I placed my chin on my forehead.
“Why didn’t you report it?”
“It wasn’t that serious… If something happens in the Korean Association, it’s my responsibility anyway. Even so, you have a lot of things to worry about…”
“Haa…”
Anyway, if you don’t look at these problems, what are you going to do?
“The problem is that we don’t have permission to search, probably because we think it’s not that big of a deal.”
Perhaps sensing the heavy atmosphere at that time, Min Yu-jin brought up the main topic again.
“I guess so. “Who would think that it would spread from a simple dispute to terrorism?”
“No matter how you look at it, it was something that was prepared in a regular and planned manner. “It will definitely get worse.”
“So what do you want me to do?”
“You need to find out.”
“….”
Ugh.
I knew it would be like this.
“If only we found out who was carrying out the terrorist attack, either by setting up a surveillance station or following him directly…”
“Why me? “I’m not free enough to help you with your work.”
“….”
He spoke firmly, and Min Yu-jin, who had been reluctant to answer for a moment, soon raised the corner of her mouth.
“You’re planning on doing it anyway, even if I don’t ask.”
And then he hits the nail on the head without any hesitation.
“…Goes.”
I didn’t bother to answer and left the police station with Branch Manager Lee Ah-young.
***
“The first incident occurred a week ago. “At around 2 p.m., the 6 cleaning teams were on the move after finishing their work, and it started when someone sprayed water on them and ran away.”
While heading to the headquarters, Lee Ah-young walked down the street and began reporting things that she had not been able to tell.
“At the time… it happened so suddenly and I couldn’t even see the culprit’s face, so I didn’t think it was a big deal, thinking it was a kid’s joke…” “
The same thing happened over and over again?”
“that’s right.”
she answered.
“It happens once a day… sometimes three times a day. “Sprinkling water and running away is kind of cute, and she even intentionally pushes and knocks down a cleaning tool…”
Lee Ah-young continued speaking in a low voice for a moment to trail off.
“In severe cases, there are times when they openly push someone down or hit them on the shoulder…”
“That’s not at the level of an argument.”
“therefore.”
“Ha… I’m more shocked that I didn’t see it.”
When I spoke again in such a shocked situation, she glanced at me.
‘Ugh…’
That’s it.
Where do you know it now?
‘Anyway…’
Someone is deliberately chasing after the cleaning team and terrorizing them.
What does this mean?
There haven’t been any problems for almost a year, so why did something like this suddenly happen?…
“So, have you done any research?”
When I asked, Lee Ah-young nodded.
“huh. I asked the control team to check the CCTV, but I couldn’t figure it out. “From the beginning, I aimed for a blind spot, and I think the movement route itself was planned in advance so as not to be detected.”
“Tsk, it’s definitely planned.”
“We need to cooperate with the police to investigate further. But what…”
“As long as you think it’s a simple dispute, there’s no reason to step forward.”
“therefore.”
Me and Lee Ah-young let out a soft sigh.
It is a terrorist incident whose purpose and cause are unknown.
‘It would be fortunate if it was just done by a lowly person…’
If someone does it with a clear purpose… it may continue until that goal is achieved.
Also, as Min Yu-jin said, the intensity may become stronger.
“Well… the good news is that no one has been seriously injured yet. “Let’s find out the rest from now on.”
“how?”
At her question, I immediately took out my cell phone.
And then I made a call somewhere.
“Director Shin. “This is Kim Jun-woo.”
“yes. “Please speak.”
Chief Secretary Shin Su-ji’s voice was heard.
“It’s no different… I’d like to clear my schedule for a week starting tomorrow, is that possible?”
“…A whole week’s schedule?”
“Yes.”
When I answered firmly, I heard a sound of troubled breathing.
But even for a moment.
“All right. “I will contact you.”
She gave permission without asking anything else.
“Instead, it’s just one week.”
“I understand.”
When I answered without hesitation, she let out a small sigh.
“Anyway, what’s going on?”
“No, what…”
I glanced at Lee Ayoung.
“I thought I would do some cleaning.”
He gave a meaningful answer.
***
“Are you here!”
“Are you here, brother?”
Gold Mine Capital Office.
When a man entered a place where there was only an old desk and a dirty sofa, the subordinates in the office jumped up.
At the same time, everyone quickly noticed.
Their older brother.
The expression of the leader of the Black Light Sect seemed angrier than ever.
“Brother Tongue, what’s going on…?”
One person asked cautiously, but instead of answering, the man sat down on the sofa and lit a cigarette.
It’s time to take a deep breath of smoke.
“I met Kim Jun-woo.”
“Yes yes?! “You mean already?”
“The strategy worked after just a week. “You are my brother after all!”
“Congratulations…!”
The moment when subordinates trembled with flattery.
Clink!!
An ashtray flew between them.
The subordinates hesitated for a moment, but immediately adjusted their posture and bowed their heads at attention.
The atmosphere suddenly became dangerous.
The man opened his mouth with a sharp expression.
“If everything had gone as planned, would I have come here alone?”
“….”
“….”
His subordinates kept their mouths shut at his words.
The man took another drag on his cigarette and opened his mouth again.
“The police showed up and missed the timing. “I didn’t think this would work, so I just gave up.”
“…yes. yes?”
“I can’t believe I’ve already noticed…”
“No, I don’t think that’s true. “I guess I just had really bad luck.”
The man threw his head back and let out a deep sigh.
“Fuck, there…”
That angry muttering to himself echoed quietly in the office, making his subordinates very nervous.
It’s not that they quit their day jobs for a while and started doing this because they wanted to meet Kim Jun-woo.
I barely achieved it, but it went in vain because of just one police officer.
They knew what kind of situation their older brother was currently in, so they couldn’t even dare to comfort him.
Then, a man mustered up the courage to talk to him.
“Then… shall we continue for now?”
“I have to do it.”
The man answered immediately.
“Let’s go a little harder from now on. ”
“If it’s too strong…?”
“You have to go ignorant.”
At that time, the man’s gaze turned to his subordinates.
Ignorant method.
It was what men hated the most and the method they most avoided.
A man who was called romantic in the old days.
Of course, he wasn’t a good person, but at least he kept his beliefs no matter what.
But now, I was in no position to let romance or faith be the issue.
“You have to do that to make Kim Jun-woo take the bait again.”
The boss of the Black Light Sect.
Choi Jang-seok was that desperate.
