Controversy (5)

‘police!’

I was a little surprised by the story I hadn’t thought of.

Because there is no reason for the police to come to ‘me’.

“I don’t know what happened… ?”

Han Gyuri carefully speaks out with a slightly worried look.

I cleared my mind and spoke calmly.

“There’s nothing wrong with it, so don’t worry too much. But why are the police looking for me?”

“that is… , said they were looking for eyewitnesses to a recent car accident!”

“… A car accident?”

Traffic Accident.

I have never witnessed a car accident.

“I think he said he was a detective from some investigation department… . I couldn’t see properly… . I’m sorry… .”

“It can be. I’ll go and talk.”

After reading Gyuri Han thoroughly and returning to work.

As I made my way to the office where the ‘detective’ was waiting, I thoughtfully shook my head.

‘A detective… .’

I don’t know the details of the police system, but I know that the Traffic Division is in charge of general traffic accidents.

In other words, the fact that a detective from the Investigation Division, not the Traffic Division, came out means that it is not just a traffic accident… .

The irony is that I have never witnessed a traffic accident scene, even though I have passed the accident site so far.

It was not the subject of an investigation in the first place.

‘Is it the NIS?’

But in a big way, it makes sense to say that a government agency came to me.

Because the NIS I know does not openly reveal their affiliation.

In the original novel, didn’t the NIS approach Seol Joo-hee as a small guild?

‘Office 5… .’

Eventually, I arrived at the office where the detective was waiting, and I lightly knocked on the door and signaled, and went inside.

“Oh, Do Ji-hyuk?”

A tall woman who stands up as if waiting to say hello.

“Nice to meet you. I am Detective Ahn Soon-young of the Gangnam Police Station.”

Her face, with her brown hair lightly tied, had a light make-up on her face, but she was wearing light plain clothes, not a uniform, probably because she was under investigation.

“Nice to meet you.”

I pretended to accept her handshake and immediately used my ability to open her information… .

[ Name: Hae-Rin Park / Potential Rank: A / Ability: Advanced Shooting Skill Lv5 ]

In that moment, I could quickly figure out what she was coming to me for.

‘Well then.’

The NIS came to me.

*

“therefore… . What did you come to me for?”

Do Ji-hyeok looked at Park Hae-rin carefully, thinking that he might try it.

The fact that the NIS came to visit means that they have been tracking the case involving Yoon Jae-deok.

In fact, there was a high possibility that he noticed everything and came to him.

“ah. It’s nothing else, but I came here because I had a question to ask while investigating a recent accident.”

“Are you buying?”

“yes.”

Park Hae-rin has a kind face and sharp eyes.

“Perhaps… . What were you doing this Thursday morning?”

Thursday was the day Do Ji-hyeok captured Yoon Jae-duk.

“I do not know… .”

Do Ji-hyuk was surprised at the behavior of Park Hae-rin, who threw a fastball from the beginning, and replied implicitly.

“He was probably sleeping at home. But why are you asking that?”

“Are you sure?”

“Is there anything wrong? Rather, I was told that I was looking for eyewitnesses to a car accident. What does being asleep have to do with a car accident?”

“… … .”

Park Hae-rin was slightly embarrassed by Do Ji-hyuk’s attitude.

They caught Yoon Jae-duk, who was their target, and handed it over to the police, so they knew they would come out cooperatively, so they intentionally leaked elements that could be identified… .

Contrary to expectations, the plan went awry thanks to the ignorance and consistency.

‘if it goes like this… .’

Only plan B is left for Hae-rin Park.

Recalling that there were no wiretapping or recording devices in the office, she took out a notebook she had kept in her arms and carefully revealed her identity.

“Actually, I am an agent for the National Intelligence Service. I came here about Yoon Jae-duk.”

By the way.

“Yes. So?”

As if he already knew, Do Ji-hyuk showed a strangely calm reaction.

‘What is this reaction… .’

Park Hae-rin was a little embarrassed by his unexpected reaction again, and suddenly started showing a little nervousness as he got caught up in his pace.

“Do you know about Yoon Jae-duk?”

“Yes. What… . I don’t know the details, but I know a little bit.”

“Why did you hand over Yoon Jae-duk to the police?”

“Am I?”

“last Thursday! Didn’t you turn over Yoon Jae-duk to the police?”

“I do not know. I don’t know about that. It’s what my friend did… .”

“… Yes? friend… .”

Park Hae-rin is speechless for a moment.

According to the information, it was none other than Do Ji-hyeok who broke into the welfare group and caught Yoon Jae-deok… .

In fact, Do Ji-hyuk was talking as if it was someone else’s actions, not himself.

“But, did he get caught? … He seemed like a pretty bad person.”

“… … !”

Only then did Park Hae-rin vaguely understand the meaning of Do Ji-hyuk.

The reason why he seems to be obediently cooperating, yet strangely non-cooperative.

In front of him is ‘Do Ji-hyuk’.

It felt like the intention was to draw a thorough line with the unidentified person who caught Yoon Jae-duk.

“… Yoon Jae-duk took over from our side, and we are investigating it properly. Thanks to ‘Friend’ for the hard work.”

“Good for you.”

Do Ji-hyeok smiles very satisfied as if he ever did.

Park Hae-rin, who was convinced of such a figure, tried to regain her composure and carefully brought out the main topic.

“therefore… . Why did that friend approach Yoon Jae-duk?”

It felt like a role play, but since I came to get Do Ji-hyuk’s cooperation, I had no choice but to match it.

“I don’t know. He’s a friend who doesn’t know what’s inside, so I don’t know.”

“… So, does that friend have any plans to work again?”

“I do not know. If you need anything… . Can’t we go out again?”

Park Hae-rin, who inadvertently swallowed her saliva at Do Ji-hyeok’s clever smile, hurriedly came to her senses and slowly reflected on his words.

‘I don’t know the exact reason… . It means that we will cooperate for now.’

Whatever the reason, as long as the interests are right, it’s OK.

The National Intelligence Service, which lacks manpower due to various recent incidents, desperately needed the help of Do Ji-hyeok, a verified manpower.

“Mr. Do Ji-hyuk. We also… . No, I desperately need your friend’s help.”

“Is it urgent enough to borrow a civilian hand?”

“Perhaps… . Do you know what a black society is?”

“Yes. As much as I know.”

“We are now working to eradicate that black society. By the way… . The manpower has been focused on the recent gate runaway incident, so there is a shortage of hands.”

“therefore. I need help. Is this?”

“you’re right.”

“Hmm… .”

Do Ji-hyuk patted his chin and started pretending to be worried.

In fact, he was already full of heart to help the NIS.

The reason for capturing and handing over Yoon Jae-duk was to wipe out the black society in the first place.

However.

If you accept it too readily, it may look rather strange, so I deliberately pretended to measure

“It’s helping the country in its own way, what kind of remuneration do you get?”

“of course. If the work is done well, it will be paid enough that I will not be disappointed.”

“Specifically?”

“100 million in advance. 4 billion balance. 1 billion at the end of the case. A total of 1.5 billion will be provided.”

15 billion in total.

Clearly, it was an amount that even people with any job could not easily earn… .

The amount was not very appealing to Do Ji-hyeok, who was at the forefront of the industry.

“It’s tight. Is that tax deductible?”

“Of course it is tax-free.”

Do Ji-hyuk crossed his arms and started pretending to be worried.

To be honest, the pay was good, but it was too little justification to accept only 1.5 billion won.

“Give me some more. Not as much as I am, but my friend is not in need of money.”

“… How much do you want?”

“If it can’t be done, it has to be doubled, so what patriotism won’t it be?”

“… Although the National Intelligence Service is not such a wealthy organization.”

“Then find someone else. There are a lot of good hunters down there… , anyone can take it and use it.”

Park Hae-rin, driven into a corner, groaned and moaned softly.

Having approached Do Ji-hyuk, cooperation with him is indispensable.

However, the budget was 2 billion won, so something was needed.

“… Then you do this.”

Hae-rin Park, who had been squeezing her hair for a while, came up with a new proposal.

It was a proposal to cover the labor costs with the property of the black society.

“Isn’t that embezzlement?”

“Embezzlement is taking something illegally called embezzlement. Taking loot is acceptable.”

In short, it was about going to the field and taking care of it to the best of your ability… .

‘This will change the story.’

Do Ji-hyuk smiled inwardly at the proposal full of reasons.

“What… . If you are so desperate, there is nothing you can do.”

“Then maybe… ?”

“From the first compensation we proposed to the loot. If this is the case, I will seriously consider it with my ‘friend’.”

“thank you… !”

Immediately after making such a dramatic compromise with each other.

“We will contact you soon.”

After a brief discussion, Do Ji-hyeok saw Hae-rin Park off and went straight back to the office.

‘… I think I forgot something… .’

On the way back, he definitely felt like he was missing something… .

“F, Producer! How have you been!?”

“Is the story over? What did you say? Are you coming to catch me soon?”

“I just gave a brief testimony.”

“thank god… . I was really surprised!”

“Did you really think about whether I should tell the kids that you were arrested?”

Thanks to the fussing team members, I lost my mind for a moment and forgot about it.
