Chapter 76

Rumbling!

Kimpo Airport’s parking lot where quite a few people come and go even though it’s almost 11 p.m.

A man in his thirties, who was hiding between cars and smoking nervously, smiles brightly.

“Dad!”

“Sangmin!”

The man rushed to look around Sangmin to see if he was hurt. Only then did the eyes go to his wife, who was holding his daughter.

“Are you surprised, honey? I’m sorry.”

Anger springs out of his wife’s mouth as if the word had become a trigger.

“What the hell happened?! What have you done…….”

Sangmin almost died and had to come all the way here secretly like running at night.

She said with her eyes because Sangmin was next to her.

“I don’t know! I just came out with my own money!”

He used to import and sell jade bracelets from China.

Even if it was made in China, it was a top-class jade, so there was a demand base, and sales were pretty good. But at some point, a partner began to seduce me to ask if I had any intention of selling it properly.

From what I hear, it was multilevel.

Of course I refused.

However, since December last year, the finest jade in China has been changed to cheap jade, and it has been sold under the strange name of germanium.

At first, I closed my eyes briefly to the enormous margin I saw in front of me.

In the end, people who seemed to be in danger came in and out of the company every late evening when all the employees left work, and when the size of the business grew ridiculously, they shook their hands.

He then asked for as much money as his stake, but his partner refused.

So I brought out as much money as my stake.

That’s all.

I just tried to hide myself for a while until my partner gave up.

About a month after hiding like that, a terrible murder occurred on a national highway in Incheon. It is a case known as the murder of a family bizarre ax.

He was a partner.

And today my son almost died by someone.

“Now tell me that!”

“Mom, Dad. Fight?

The startled couple shook their heads quickly.

“No, you don’t fight with your mom. Sangmin, you like the sea, right?”

“Sea! Yes! Yes!”

“I’m about to go to the sea. Take the plane that Sangmin wanted to take.”

“Airplane! Wow! Really?!”

The man clenched his teeth to see his favorite Sangmin.

It’s my money!

This is a threat.

Threatening to give up the money you took.

I didn’t know this would happen, but he thought it was a good thing I made a passport just in case.

“You left your bank account under the master bedroom closet on the TV, right?”



“That’s right! What’s that bank account? Why do you have so much money?”

It’s money brought in as much as an interest.

I hid it in my house because it was the darkest under the lamp.

But there is no time to explain it.

We have to leave Korea!’

“Let’s talk on the plane. What?”

“……Yes, I understand.”

They hurried their steps.

At that moment.

“Where are you going, Mr. Kim Kwang-chul? Cough Cough Cough cough!

Between the car and the car, a big man with a hat, glasses and a mask stands.

Out of nowhere!

President Kim and Kim Kwang-chul collapsed because their legs were weak.

“Please, come on….”

“Oh? It’s the same guy from earlier. Shushushush!”

“Shush… Shush?”

The big man, Jong-hyuk, was surprised to see Kim Kwang-chul and his wife staring blankly at him and wondering about Kim Kwang-chul’s strange response just now.

Where are you going? It’s bound to sound weird!’

He spat out a comment he used to arrest a criminal who habitually ran away.

Once again, Jong-hyuk stared at a five-year-old boy who fell asleep in the arms of his wife, Kim Kwang-chul.

I can’t believe I had a daughter.….’

Now I know why my son didn’t tell me even though he was murdered so terribly.

He was afraid that even his daughter would be killed.

That’s why I closed my mouth.

The probability was more than 80 per cent.

“I don’t think you’re going to…….”

“It was a good thing I happened to see it.”

“Oh, thank you. Thank you very much!”

Even his wife bowed her head in tears.

“I should give you a big reward, but I’m a little busy right now.….”

Kim Kwang-chul, who was in a hurry, had no idea how Jong-hyuk could appear here.

Jong-hyuk calms his eyes at their nervousness.

“Who are they?”

Flinch!

“You know?”

“I, I don’t know! I don’t know! Let’s go!

Jong-hyuk clenched his teeth.

“The man who tried to kill your son committed suicide when the situation was not good. They’re really dangerous.”

“Honey, honey?”

Kim Kwang-chul’s expression distorted on the shocked wife’s face.

“I don’t know! I don’t know! Why are you doing this to me who only knows my face and my name?”

‘Face and name!’ sparkled in Jong-hyuk’s eyes.

“Boss, I’m begging you. In order not to make another victim, we desperately need a word from the boss.”

Jong-hyuk appealed for recognition rather than shouting.

“Ha! Who are you?! Are you a cop?”

Kim Kwang-chul concluded that it would not be the case.

If the police had stepped up, they would have been at the Daejeon Police Station by now.

Jong-hyuk kicked his tongue inside.

“Ha, really, really, whatever it takes, Won.

I wish I could proudly say police or prosecutors at times like this.

Jong-hyuk put his hand in his arms.

I ended up using the last resort.

“Yes, I’m a cop.”

Out of nowhere!

Kim Kwang-chul’s body is stiff.

“What a coincidence…….”

Kim Kwang-chul gave up everything when Jong-hyuk presented his police official card.

At that look, Jong-hyuk swept his heart away.

‘Fortunately, I didn’t get caught.’

What Jong-hyuk gave out was an honorary police officer’s certificate of appointment and an honorary police officer. It says “Honorary police officer” below, so you get caught.

‘I’m glad it’s dark around.’

He even covered the word honor.

“I don’t know how surprised I am. Cough! Cough! Oh, I’m sorry. I have a bad cold.”

No, I disguised myself not to show my face in case, but I pretended to catch a cold because I was wearing a mask.

Kim Kwang-chul, who nodded, sighed heavily.

“Whoo. I don’t really know much.”

“It’s enough just to sketch the criminals.”

The name must have been fake anyway.

The problem is, I’m the one who’s going to draw the sketch.….’

It’s a disaster.

If I had known this would happen, I should have put an APB in advance.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

“Yes, hello.”

Don’t you need my help, Choi?

Jong-hyuk’s mouth was shaking.

‘Yes, I’ve taken you all the way here, and there’s no way you’re not eavesdropping.’

Natalia was the one who followed Kim Kwang-cheol’s wife.

Jong-hyuk is willing to accept her help.

* * *

“Well, then I’ll leave you alone.”

“Shoosh, shoosh! Bye, bye!”

As the Kim Kwang-chul couple and their children drastically separated, Jong-hyuk, who sat in the auxiliary seat of the lighted van, stared at the sketch.

His mouth twisted violently.

“Nice to meet you, you bastards!’

I’ve never seen such a clear face before.

They were all blurred, CCTV or detective’s memory, because they disguised themselves as a small crew member like an errand boy.

There was only one person Kim Kwang-chul properly remembered, so the rest were just about the size of his side face, but it was enough. I finally got the right tail.

Jong-hyuk saw a business card with a sketch.

It is a business card that Kim Kwang-chul gave to them.

Clack clack!

“I don’t know why Choi cares about it. It doesn’t matter, does it?”

“After all, it doesn’t matter if I’m the one who died. Oh, thank you for your help. That, too.”

One of the agents who came with her drew a sketch, and Russian intelligence decided to help them escape.

It is a device to snatch those who may find Kim Kwang-chul.

I’m in debt.

“Choi.”

Natalia’s eyes are distorted.

These are the eyes of a beast whose pride has been hurt.

“We, Russia, never forget the grace. It’s not good to think that you’re only this much in debt.”

Her serious voice, full of pride, beats her heart.

‘I’m falling in love with you.’

When he’s done talking, he smiles.

“So I’d like to help you a little bit more, is that okay?”

Jong-hyuk noticed what she was trying to say.

“Thank you.”

Smiling, she took out her business card from Jong-hyuk’s hand and called the agents she had left behind in Daejeon. Agents left behind just in case someone showed up at the junkyard where the man killed himself.

“Keep an eye on the address you’re calling.”

I’m not trying to catch it now.

As the killer’s whereabouts evaporate, they try to figure out their movements.

‘Move, please.’

And I hope it’s not too late.

The sweat began to form on Jong-hyuk’s hands.

“Then shall we move on? This place is too desolate to ask how you’ve been doing.”

“Ha ha. I will.”

The two got on the van.

Whoosh!

Natalia drew the curtains on the window.

“Hm?”

“It’s good to smoke in a bright place.”

Jong-hyuk wondered, but soon stopped paying attention to the Russian cigarette she was taking out. The red cigarette case said “Pyotor.”

Unusual, however, the shell is laid down, which Jong-hyuk has seen several times.

“Most Russian soldiers smoke like this. Don’t let the oil or dirt on the gloves on cold days get into the filter. In the Cold War era, Russian spies were distinguished in this way.”

“Really?”

“I see.” Most of the smuggled Russian sailors smoked in this way.

Whoosh!

“Well….”

The first Russian cigarette I smoked was quite strong.

Zong-hyuk, who lit Natalia’s cigarette, saw a window with curtains.

His thoughts were again focused on the organization.

How long has it been so long?

After smoking all, Jong-hyuk opened his mouth.

“You don’t ask.”

Natalia, who was enjoying the second cigarette, looked mildly.

“It’s a real friend that doesn’t ask questions that a friend might find difficult.”

Her words tap Jong-hyuk’s chest once more.

I even got an intelligence agent to move, but he doesn’t ask.

Why Jong-hyuk is chasing the organization.

Thank you.

“What I’m more curious about is what you’re going to do in the future.”

Natalia recalled the information collected by Jong-hyuk.

“Are you really going to be a prosecutor or a cop?”

‘I see.’ In a few days, it will be June.

The CSAT is less than half a year away.

It was time to think really seriously.

Prosecutors and police. Police and prosecutors. And….’

Jong-hyuk looked at Natalia and shook his head.

‘Not the Intelligence Service.’

Whether it’s her will or orders from her superiors, Natalia, whom she met in Thailand, came to Korea. No, even if she had expressed her will powerfully, she wouldn’t have come unless the boss had given her permission.

As such, the intelligence agency is an organization that goes back to the top and bottom of the list.

The same was true of NIS agents whom Jong-hyuk met.

They only followed orders from above.

Even though there are separate overseas and domestic part agents, when ordered from the top, the part changes like a palm flip.

There is no freedom.

This is the biggest demerit.

Jong-hyuk calmly thought about what happened after the regression.

Even the cooperation between what happened today and Kim Kwang-chul.

A conversation with Kang Chul-sun a few days ago crossed his mind.

‘…Yes, this is right. This is the best I can do to move freely.’

The eyes of Jong-hyuk, who made the decision, became firm.

“I…….”

“Wait a minute. Whatever Choi does, I and Russia will cheer for him, but why don’t you reconsider? Your talent is such a waste. I’d rather….”

Ring! Ring!

Natalia answered the phone, swearing inside.

Her eyes shook like that.

“Choi.”

“…It must have splattered.”

Natalia burst into laughter as if she was dumbfounded.

“The address is a 40-year-old abusive grandmother’s gopchang restaurant.”

“Oh?”

Jong-hyuk blinked his eyes.

“The owner hasn’t changed in 40 years. Shall we watch…?”

‘Should I have prayed not to be late, but to make sure the address was correct?’ Jong-hyuk swept down his face.

It is an organization whose existence is unknown until shortly before Jong-hyuk is killed. An organization that only noticed Jong-hyuk in South Korea.

I should have expected this much caution.’

It was a mistake.

Jong-hyuk was despondent at the tail he missed.

But this is why I’m more certain of the decision I just made.

‘Yes, this is the only way to catch these bastards.’

“Why don’t you think about it again?” No, I’m…….”

Natalia expressed regret over Jong-hyuk’s subsequent remarks.

* * *

A clear and sunny day in March.

Countless people gathered in the auditorium where the entrance ceremony was held to celebrate their children’s admission to college.

Rumbling. Rumbling.

There was also Jong-hyuk.

“Ugh.”

“Oh, why are you crying?”

Jong-hyuk wiped tears around his mother’s eyes.

“No, I was wondering how happy your dad would have been to see this.”

father

I can’t remember, but it’s beautiful just to put it in my ear.

“He’d be naked and running around the neighborhood showing off.”

“That’s why I agreed.”

“As expected of you, Jesus!”

Kim Jong-doo, who raised his thumb to Ko Jung-sook, pats Jong-hyuk on the shoulder.

“I knew you’d make it! Congratulations on your top entrance, Jong-hyuk!”

“We, too!”

“You’re such a Jong-hyuk……Uh!?!”

“Shh. Good day, Father.”

Hyun-suk, who has grown up, blocks Kang Chul-sun’s mouth to say something. People burst out laughing at the sight.

Someone approaches them like that.

“Choi Jong-hyuk cadet?”

“Yes!”

“Follow me. The entrance ceremony will begin soon.”

With his head nodding, Jong-hyuk said he would go and turned around and put on a police cap.

It was.

Jong-hyuk decided to become a police officer.

A conversation on the subject of how to deal with a case that I know will happen, but has not yet happened.

Steel wire said this at the time.

A typical prosecutor would probably ask the police for cooperation.’

“Yes, after all, it’s the police who move.”

It is the police who are free to chase criminals, and it is the police who are always catching criminals.

The scene is a police area.

That’s why I chose the police this time as well.

However, starting as an executive is just different from before the regression.

In no time, it was Jong-hyuk’s turn to take the podium, scouring hundreds of senior candidates.

My colleagues, seniors, are staring at me like crazy.

And family and acquaintances waving behind them.

Jong-hyuk, who opened the oath, raised his hand to them.

“Oath-!”

Jong-hyuk’s cry rumbles through the auditorium.

“As a candidate for a police officer, I obey the decree and obey the orders of my boss.”

a police oath

Reciting all five clauses, Jong-hyuk saluted and shouted loudly.

“This is Choi Jong-hyuk, the 48th Senior Admissions Officer nominee! Loyalty-!”

“Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”

Claps and shouts resonated toward the high, clear blue sky.
