Return of the 10th Circle Archmage

Chapter 25 13. Blockbuster (2)

“goodbye.”

“Thank you for taking me, Ari.”

“I had fun today too. Thank you for the gift.”

“Then go well.”

“Yes. I will call you later.”

Boo woo woo.

Ari waved his hand and drove off in his car. I was able to move comfortably thanks to her picking up her and taking me to her house.

Of course, teleporting was faster, but I was grateful for Ari’s sincerity.

‘Anyway, it’s a strange thing to hear all the calls from the police station…’

If it wasn’t for the police call, Ramen Gak came out today, but it was ruined because of the saltiness.

I really wondered what kind of questions the police would ask if I went to the investigation. For example, ‘What does it have to do with you and the typhoon? I’m not going to ask you crazy questions like ‘Aren’t you friends with Lightning?’

‘Once you go, you will find out naturally, so let’s worry about that tomorrow.’

Even though my life is not at stake right now, I have decided to worry about tomorrow.

No matter how much you dig, nothing will come out.

*

next day.

“after······.”

Park Won-guk, the head of the 3rd Division of the Gangnam Police Department at the Gunpo Police Station.

He has been on watch all night since yesterday, diligently digging into the Gunpo disaster case. He hasn’t even gotten to work yet.

Click, click.

-Gunpo Police Station assaulted a reporter by saying, “Reporters, don’t write novels without evidence.” The cops just leaving, didn’t they get commissions?

– Discovered a cover-up situation at the Gunpo Police Station! Even though all the precious metals in the Korean bail room were stolen, they try to cover up the case with a simple natural disaster…

After the on-site inspection, the press did not subside even though the press release was circulated. Rather, as if retaliating for his words, he reinforced the mochi and poured out even more provocative articles.

‘How dare you say such cheeky things to reporters? Dare to be a detective? It was a symbol that said, ‘Let’s see where I can be fucked.’

“Dog-like bastards…….”

Tadak, tang tang tang!

bum bum, bum bum.

He nervously slammed the keyboard down, then exited the hallway. There was an open smoking room on the emergency exit stairs.

Cheek, Cheek.

“after······.”

As he was reading the articles wrapped by giraffes one by one, his blood pressure rose and he smashed the keyboard and came out.

“They are just hyenas. They are ignorant people who bite off their stomachs until they are full.”

Park Won-guk muttered to himself, as if speaking to the air and protesting to someone.

In his opinion, the guinea pigs promoting it felt more like garbage than the dogs and pigs being agitated.

“Anyway, if I don’t fix it somehow, I’m going to die…”

He was already trying hard to change himself in his superiors, including the chief.

During his 15-year career as a detective, a great crisis came.

‘I can’t fall apart like this…’

This was no longer just a natural disaster.They will dig deeper into whether there are any unsavory commissions from the police and gangsters.

Currently, Baekseokpa has been destroyed, but the power behind it has not yet been revealed.

‘Organizations will try to change the topic in any way to hide their identity or cut off their tails.’

Park Won-guk’s dreadful thoughts made his legs tremble by itself. If he stays like this, the forces behind him will certainly not let him go.

‘Anyway, for now, I have no choice but to stalk the suspects as the boss orders.’

There were a few people to turn over.

The first target was Lee Joon-hyuk.

As a result of the autopsy of the unconfirmed corpses of the dead Baek Seok-pa, the time at which Lee Jun-hyeok left the jewelry room coincided with the time they died.

In addition, we also found out the circumstances in which Lee Joon-hyuk’s current identity was expunged and restored after 15 years. Although it was a bit of a force, there were not one or two suspicious alibi under the circumstances.

‘If in doubt, just dig it up. If something comes out, it’s good, and if it doesn’t come out, you can make it somehow…’

Park Won-guk, with a grin and a cruel smile, rubbed the cigarette in his mouth into an outdoor ashtray and put it out. And he went back to the interrogation room.

“Hello.”

“Uh, Lee Joon-hyuk?”

“Yes.”

Park Won-guk found Lee Jun-hyeok sitting on a simple chair in the investigation room and flinched.

It’s only 10 a.m., are you arriving already?

Also on weekdays.

Park Won-guk couldn’t manage his expression like a person who had been caught by the insidious thoughts he had just had.

“It’s nice to meet you.”

“Yes.”

Park Won-guk sat down at his computer desk and took a small deep breath.

*

I stared at the detective’s face with calm eyes. He was a man in his mid-50s with a sparse crown. The detective immediately continued the baptism of questions.

“As I called yesterday, I have a few questions for Lee Jun-hyuk regarding the Gunpo disaster.”

“ask.”

“First, Lee Joon-hyuk. Where have you been for 15 years?”

“Are you saying you have been reported missing? That’s what happened when I went overseas to catch a deep-sea fishing boat.”

“A deep-sea fishing boat?”

“Yes.”

“But why was all your identity erased?”

“He went abroad recklessly since high school, so it seems he didn’t have administrative procedures.”

“Hmm······.”

A look of dissatisfaction passed through the detective’s eyes.

He looked me up and down and tilted his head.

“It’s not that dark to have been on a ship for 15 years…”

“I haven’t been on a boat in the last year.”

“Okay, well, it doesn’t matter anyway.”

The detective rummaged through the case files on his desk and asked questions as a tracer.

“Did you stop by the Korean bail room in Geumjeong-dong around 11 o’clock two days ago?”

“It was.”

“What did you sell to the jewelry store then?”

“I went to sell a little gold ring.”

“Isn’t it gold?”

“Yes. It was a ring I got at my first birthday party when I was young, but the house was very difficult, so I wanted to sell it.”

“But you didn’t sell it?”

“I sold it. I just didn’t sell it to the Korean bailroom.”

The detective’s eyes lit up at my words.

“Why didn’t you sell it?”

“They said it was fake.”

“Well······. But did anyone else say it was real?”

“Yes. So I sold it for 60,000 won.”

“Where?”

“It’s a jewelry store in Seoul.”

“Have you met anyone along the way?”

“Who are you meeting?”

When Lee Joon-hyuk made a bewildered expression, he asked questions like a police officer.

“Didn’t you meet a gangster?”

“A gangster?”

“The Baek Seok faction members who were active in Gunpo were massacred during the time Lee Jun-hyuk left.”

“is that so? I’ve never met such people. I just took the subway and went straight to Seoul.”

“Well, that’s right.”

The more the detective’s face asked questions, the more irritated he became. Even if he thought about it himself, he didn’t have any physical evidence, and even being an alibi was very absurd.

Because I wasn’t the only one who walked outside during that time, and I couldn’t be the only one who could be accused of accusing me of a myriad of people.

The detective took a deep breath and opened his mouth as if he had made up his mind.

“Mr. Lee Joon-hyuk. Maybe ah… no.”

I could feel his will to forcibly link this case with me. He tries to put it together somehow with small clues, but there is no evidence that he can’t help it.

‘Let’s read what you’re thinking…’

Rather, seeing a detective like that made me even more frustrated.

-Mind reading

I unleashed my mind-reading magic and began to read the detective’s thoughts.

– Hey, fuck you. Why are they pushing me like this? What to do in a natural disaster? Fucking thugs. Black bastards assholes.

‘Black Heaven?’

I was blown away when I heard the name of the strange organization in the detective’s mind.

– What if they kill me too? I’m going to try to keep my mouth shut…

The detective seemed to be connected to some strange organization. Tail or something… It didn’t seem like the level of commission with a simple gangster.

-Lee Jun-hyuk How should I deal with this bastard…? I don’t have any accusations. Phew······.

The detective seemed very reluctant to spit out the words, “Do you have anything to do with this natural disaster?”

Even if there is a video of the conversation or meeting with the gangsters. There was absolutely no evidence.

-Can not help it. No matter how strange the circumstances, let’s just take it as a natural disaster. After all, there was an order from the superiors to ask questions as quietly as possible. It’s better not to make a big deal out of fussing around, but rather to cover it up like this.

The detective himself seemed to have sorted out his thoughts to some extent.

“all right. In fact, Lee Joon-hyuk is not guilty of any particular charges. Typhoons and lightning are actually natural disasters. If the reporters hadn’t been posting strange and provocative articles, there was no need to summon them like this. Anyway, thank you for your time.”

“No, what. It can happen if you do your job.”Detectives are suspicious of this case, but they dealt with it as a death due to a natural disaster.

The writing is also very formal.

Originally, if there was any suspicious circumstance, he would fill the space by digging around, but this time, he specially decorated it roughly and completed the report.

I put a red pad on my thumb and stamped it on the record. This meant that the investigation was over.

“Thank you for responding to the survey, Lee Jun-hyuk.”

“Yes.”

“But there is one thing I want to ask you.”

“ask.”

“Who was the woman you went to the jewelry store with?”

“She is my sister.”

“Oh, yes, I see. Then take a look.”

“Yes. work hard.”

*

“after······.”

As soon as I left the Gunpo Police Station, I put a cigarette in my mouth.

I came here worried about what would happen if they asked me about a natural disaster, but it was Kiwoo. Of course, even if that happened, there was no need to worry too much because I had an alibi.

‘Anyway, there seems to be a strange organization called the Heukcheons behind the Baekseoks I killed.’

Seeing that the name itself had an ominous feeling, it seemed that they were also gangsters. Watching the detectives in the Gyeonggi region freely control the detectives, I thought they were not ordinary guys.

Druck.

-Sender: Choi Ari

I picked up the phone call from Ari and rubbed my cigarette out.

“Yes, Ari.”

– I saw a text saying that the investigation was over. How did the investigation go?

“I just made up a formal protocol and it’s over. He didn’t force me to turn it over.”

– I’m so glad. If the police forcefully use force, I will come forward and stand as a witness.

“Haha, thank you for your words.”

– I’m not talking out loud.

As if vomited by my playful answer, Ari let out her nose. I smiled on my own and smirked.

“Of course it is. thank you.”

-Yes. And didn’t you forget the promise you made yesterday?

“What promise?”

– Blockbuster.

“what is that?”

-I’m sorry, you decided to upgrade Junhyuk’s future plan from small to blockbuster.

“AHA. It was.”

– When you’re done with your business, come to our store right away. I have someone to introduce.

“Yes, I will take the subway right now and go there.”

I ended the call and moved to the dark parking lot behind the police station.

What is the subway?

What you need to do is move in a moment.

I teleported with Ari to solve the blockbuster puzzle.
