Chapter 46

* * *

Gunsan, Jeollabuk-do, a quiet neighborhood outside.

A man in his mid-40s is pulling a handcar full of scrap metal and green onions. The limp is impressive with its legs and three animal dolls on the handcart.

As he was sweating hard, he smiled happily at it.

The thought of my daughter who would like the doll gave me strength.

“Mr. Jung, are you coming now?”

“Good afternoon, sir!”

The face of the old man sitting on the table at the entrance to the neighborhood is distorted.

“I’m sorry, Mr. Jung, but can you watch TV?”

“Why? Is something wrong?”

“It started to crackle all of a sudden in the morning, and then it kept going crazy.”

“Oh, my old man must have been bored today. Okay. I’ll stop by after dinner.”

“Thank you.”

“What?”

Jeong and Jeong In-cheol started pulling the handcart again, and the old man kicked his tongue at him.

“What a nice person……what’s that Ayyam F. Tsk tsk. Hmm?”

Roar!

The old man tilted his head to his side as he saw a mid-sized sedan entering the neighborhood.

“I’ve never seen you before.”

He stared straight at the enterprise passing by.

On the other hand, Jeong In-cheol, who arrived at his house in a remote area, sighed as he saw a shabby house with asbestos roofs, a small courtyard full of fajies and scrap metal.

“…what’s past. What should I do to lament my loss?”

He listened to the house.

Hurry!

“Dad!”

Jeong In-cheol’s mouth was torn into big pieces.

A daughter who won’t hurt even if it’s in her eyes.

Big eyes and chubby cheeks are still bothering my heart today.

“I guess you didn’t go to the back mountain with your friends today.”

When I see a 10-year-old little girl walking around in the mountains, I can only laugh.

“Yes! Sometimes I’ll take a rest, too. So they know I’m precious.”

“Ha ha! Really?”

“Hehe. Huh? It’s a doll.”

His face was clouded by his slightly disappointed daughter.

Perhaps because she recognized the father’s feelings, the daughter quickly ran to the doll.

“I’ll wash you!”

“Will you?”

“Yes! It’s mine!”

He distorted his face when he saw his daughter dipping three dirty dolls into a tap basin in the yard.

A daughter who should have only grown up wearing good clothes and eating good food.

Seeing you suffer from an ugly father, you can’t get over your meal properly.

“Whoo.”

After laying down all the scrap metal and paper, he headed to a plastic house in the corner of the yard. In the small 2-pyeong greenhouse, there were many devices such as grinder and iridium, as well as electronic devices such as computers, radios, TVs and videos. his treasure house I was full just by looking at it.

Sitting in the chair with a smile, he was lost in thought for a moment.

The previous daughter’s reaction just now felt like a thorn in her throat.

“Is it time to graduate from animal dolls? But…….”

With the money he earns a day, he cannot buy princess dolls such as Mimi dolls or Lara dolls that children of his daughter’s age will like the most. I can’t even recycle what’s thrown away. And no matter how urgent I was, I wasn’t picking up dolls that looked like humans.

“Well.”

He was lost in thought. Maybe for my daughter, my brain went fast.

“Oh, I’d rather hear a sound from a doll.….”

It was time to smile brightly and take your hands to a box of substrates.

Boom boom!

“Who is it?”

Tilting his head to his side, he headed for the gate.

“Who…… is it?””

When he opened the door, he hardened.

A Seoul beauty with short hair who may have been in her late 20s.

Women’s suits and red shoes are impressive.

She, Kwon A-young, gave out her business card.

“Nice to meet you. I’m Kwon A-young, finance director of Kwon & Park Holdings. You’re CEO Jeong Incheol, right?”

Kwon A-young, who sat in the living room, in a shabby house following the hanok style, saw Jeong In-cheol hiding behind a cute girl’s back glancing over here.

Her original title was CEO, but she came down from her seat recognizing Jong-hyuk as the boss.

Currently, Kwon & Park Holdings is led by two people as directors without a representative, and on the outside, they were recognized as CEOs.

“Oh. Inventor Jung? He can fix everything.”

“Very much just Detective Gazette.”



“Aren’t you a $6 million man?”

Jeong In-cheol, who is known as an inventor and a radio operator in the neighborhood.

He graduated from mechanical engineering and worked at a stuffed doll factory in Jeonju until three years ago, but failed during the IMF.

“Jee, there’s nothing in the house…….”

The restless man sticking out a cup of water.

The smell of sweat bothers my nose.

‘Boss, why the hell would you…’….’

Although the IMF’s business failed, the stuffed doll business was already a business group that had been declining due to princess dolls and Japanese animations.

It was not because of Kwon & Park Holdings.

“It’s okay.”

Having a sip of water, she told me why she came.

“Our Kwon & Park Holdings is investing in relief for those who have joined the IMF. And the first winner is CEO Jung Incheol.”

“Me, me?!”

“I checked and found that you exported to Japan as well as Seoul and other large cities across the country? In this small city of Gunsan.”

“Gasp! How do you do that?”

From the 1980s to the early 90s, it was a success.

“Our company appreciates the ability and the quality of our products to export to Japan.”

“Go, thank you!”

It’s been two years since the business, which has been leaning since the mid-90s, went bankrupt. I’m getting emotional that there are people who recognize past efforts.

But that was also for a while.

“I’m sorry, you’ve come a long way, but I……I…….”

I’m afraid to run a business. I was afraid that I would fail again.

Kwon A-young kicked her tongue into his depression.

Loser. Loser who had a daughter to protect but defeated his will to stand up again. One of the kinds that Kwon Ah-young despises.

Is it okay to give that doll to someone like this?’

Her eyes turned cold.

I’ll check one more time and if not…….’

Perhaps for the first time you’ll reject Jong-hyuk’s will.

“Do you have any business items in mind?”

Jeong In-chul smiled bitterly.

As a businessman, I could not help noticing Kwon Ah-young’s change. Then I got emotional.

Who the hell are you?

With a fever, he raised his chin.

“Yes, I don’t. Well, I’m working on a talking doll these days.….”

“Huff?”

“Hm?”

Jeong In-cheol saw Kwon A-young with her eyes wide open, and she laughed in vain.

“This is it. Boss’s intelligence is…….”

Jong-hyuk always shows more than you can imagine.

It was just a laugh.

Straightening her posture, she bowed politely.

“I’m sorry, I just had a big disrespect.”

A sincere apology from a woman who exudes the spirit of the successful.

When the situation suddenly changed, Jeong In-cheol was forced to panic.

“What? Oh, no…….”

What about the talking doll?

“I apologize again and can we hear about the talking doll? The direction of business, the social repercussions.”

‘Business direction? Social echo?’ his entrepreneurial instinct wriggles.

This is obviously unusual.

The talking doll……a talking doll…말한다 says, unlike other dolls, there is a sound? Dali? Sound? …This is it! This is it! You idiot!’

The man who once ran a business didn’t know even though the treasure was just around the corner.

With lightning in front of him, he raised his head.

Jeong In-cheol, the founder of I love you doll, who has only filled the stomach of puppet merchants and sewing doll factories nationwide, and whose opportunity to make a comeback has collapsed, was ready to fly under the protection of the law from the beginning.

And after a long time, Kwon A-young, who left Jeong In-chul’s house, got into the car and bit a cigarette.

“What a boss.….”

Jeong In-cheol, who turned into a businessman as soon as he put his determination back together.

I think I know why Jong-hyuk chose him.

Shaking her head, she started the car.

There was no time to delay in gathering talent to help Jeong In-cheol, those who suffered well during the IMF, and those selected by Jong-hyuk.

* * *

I’m sure you can do it well.’

The talking doll, who loved that the sewing doll market would be revitalized after graduating from college, laughed hard and said he was glad the sewing doll market was revived even though the court refused to raise his hand.

Later, however, when the market was eaten by Chinese dolls, he went to drink alone, asking if the patent was not granted.

He was good at it, but weak at hearted.

‘Save me in this life. Sewing doll market.’

He’ll be able to make it enough. As long as he has brought his results, he will actively help to do so.

While you’re at it, I’m gonna improve the law.

Copyright and patents that are treated differently at this time of year. People’s thoughts change in the distant future, but it would be much better if they changed from now on.

As a former detective, I hoped so.

“I hereby appoint you as an honorary investigator. Prosecutor General Kim Heung-sik.”

Clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap!

The Seoul District Prosecutors’ Office, and the head of the district attorney’s office hand over a bouquet of flowers, a letter of appointment, and a certificate of investigation, and prosecutors gathered in the district attorney’s office applaud.

I’m getting applause from prosecutors in my life.’

It’s not a dream for a cop. In addition, it was the first time for the Seoul District Prosecutors’ Office.

“Don’t be sad it’s only been a month, but try to learn hard.”

“Yes! Thank you!”

The chief prosecutor, who patted Jong-hyuk on the shoulder with a smile, shook his hand, and the steel wire, who approached him, grabbed his wrist.

“Let me introduce you to your family.”

Four men and women welcomed him when he opened his private office.

“This is Chief Han Chul-ho.”

“Nice to meet you. Let’s get along well for the next month.”

“These guys are Kim Young-mi and Kim Yang. Seo Younghee and Seo Yang. They’re both 29-year-old maiden, so be careful.”

“Mr. Prosecutor!

“Lastly, investigator Seo Jung-ho who helps me. He’s big, but you can just call him a pushover.”

“Oh, it’s… It’s nice to meet you. It’s Seo Jung-ho. Call me brother.”

Everyone has a bright atmosphere.

It was a relief.

Jong-hyuk bowed and greeted loudly, and Kang Chul-sun’s family responded with applause again.

Oh my god!

“You’ve all said hello, so I’m gonna go get a job with him!”

Everyone was startled.

“Are you going to take me to the conference?”

“The District Attorney’s order. Come with me.”

‘Ooh. Are you even in a meeting?’ the chief prosecutor made a big decision.

The two, who came out, headed for the deputy chief’s office.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

“Take it.”

“Thank you.”

Turning around, Jong-hyuk received a cell phone.

– Jong-hyuk아!

Uncle?

It’s Kim Jong-doo.

Are you serious about that? Did you really become a Seoul District Prosecutors’ Office investigator?

“Oh.”

Jong-hyuk smirked.

Where else did you hear that?’

“Not a real investigator, but an honorary investigator. I’ll be an intern for about a month.”

Why?! You should come to my uncle to do something like that’

“Well, because you let me? Oh, is the police going to let me be an honorary police officer?”

Flinch!

No way. It just came out.

No such words have been said since Jong-hyuk refused the special loan, but it was belatedly discussed only after the Seoul District Prosecutors’ Office said it would appoint Jong-hyuk as an honorary investigator.

I’m telling you, let’s do it! Wait! I’ll make sure you’re an honorary officer, even if I grab the commissioner by the collar! You’re not going to take it away?

“What? What do you mean?….”

Whoosh!

Jong-hyuk stared blankly at the cut-off call, and a chuckled steel wire wrapped around Jong-hyuk’s shoulder.

“Come on, let’s get out of this heavy, thoughtless cop thing. It’s late.”

As such, there were already six prosecutors sitting in the vice-president’s office.

“Huh? What about him?”

“The District Attorney’s order.”

“Oh, yeah? You all know that, right? Say hi to Choi Jong-hyuk, who’s been an investigator intern for a month.”

The prosecutors’ eyes shone.

A child who could have been a junior to the police in advance when they almost talked about the independence of investigative power.

There was enough reason to welcome.

They waved to welcome Jong-hyuk, and Jong-hyuk bowed.

“Choi.”

“Yes, Deputy Chief Prosecutor.”

“Do you know the name of our department?”

“Yes, I understand it’s the organized crime investigation department of the Criminal Investigation Department.”

“Oh, well, do you happen to know what violent crime is?”

“Largely, it can be defined as robbery, murder, arson, injury and assault, intoxication and luring, rape and molestation, blackmail. And organized crime investigation is literally a department dedicated to gangs.”

The prosecutors, who opened their eyes wide with neat organization, nodded pleasedly. The same was true of the deputy chief prosecutor.

“He’s a smart guy, you know him well. Among them, our Central Prosecutors’ Office oversees criminal investigations into so-called national districts and gangs scattered in Seoul and Gyeonggi Province. Do you happen to know the number of gangs in Seoul?”

“I understand there are about 150 to 230.”

The prosecutors’ eyes are wide open.

Exactly. There is a change in the number caused by the prosecution and the police’s sweep, roughly one gang in each of the two buildings.

“About 60 percent are organizations with fewer than 15 members, and there are about 50 other drug organizations.”

The eyes of the chief prosecutor and prosecutors turned to Kang Chul-sun.

Steel wires shook their hands and heads in surprise.

“Huh…….”

The deputy chief prosecutors and prosecutors stared blankly at Jong-hyuk, who shrugged.

“If you even brief on the lineage of violent organizations, you’ll turn it upside down.’

* * *

“Did your uncle teach you?”

A steel wire with seven thin files on its sides flung its tongue.

Jong-hyuk smiled instead of answering, and Kang Chul-sun smacked her lips.

“By the way, it’s a shame. If you had caught Han Sang-won a few days later, you would have learned to work in a better place.”

Jong-hyuk opened his eyes wide.

“Are you saying hello?”

“……Do you know what economic crime is?”

“You’re talking about tax evasion, fraud, anti-trust of companies, etc.”

Economic crime is divided into a total of four areas.

Personal crimes such as issuing fraudulent checks or evading income tax.

Abuse of trust in bribery or embezzlement of public funds.

Corporate crimes such as violations of advertising laws, corporate anti-trust laws, bookkeeping, etc.

Illegal credit fraud pretending to be legitimate.

“Oh? Then what?”

“Hahaha.”

Jong-hyuk clapped his hands.

the Ministry of Economic and Criminal Affairs

The special department of the Seoul District Prosecutors’ Office is now comparable to the Central Investigation Department of the Supreme Prosecutors’ Office. In the future, it was one of the first-class departments to be treated as just below the special department, which will be transformed into an anti-corruption investigation department.

In other words, the steel wire climbed on a rail facing up.

“Congratulations!”

Jong-hyuk congratulated with all his heart.

The plan was going faster than I thought.

“It’s all because of Choi.”

“Did I do anything?”

“A lot. A lot.”

Awkward Jong-hyuk scratched his head, and Kang Chul-sun deeply appreciated it.

It was all because of Jong-hyuk that I could move to a top-level department.

“So learn a little about your organized crime. You’ll have to learn from the beginning if you change your greeting.”

“Yes, sir.”

There was nothing to learn, but once he answered, Jong-hyuk tilted his head to his side.

‘Oh, wait a minute, actually.….’

Dotcom bubble fraud and operations that will take place in many parts of the country soon.

Cheaters who dreamed of turning their lives upside down, but desperately trampled on their desperate wishes.

I was going to leak information about them to President Kim Jong-du, but this will change the story.

What if Uncle and Father collaborate?’

The chief of the special crime investigation department at the headquarters, who has no sanctuary in the investigation, and a prosecutor who will reveal his performance to be incorporated into the department.

In a combination that seemed obvious without looking at it, Jong-hyuk shuddered.

“I can do this. I can do it no matter what!”’

Cases that are organized so well that they run away so well that they remain unsolved for a long time and arrested.

I can beat them all up.

‘Wait for me, you bastards.’

Jong-hyuk’s eyes began to glisten bitterly.

Well, first of all, rather than the future…….’

Jong-hyuk glowed his eyes at the incident file where the steel wire was stuck in his side.
