The Ex-Hero Is Too Good at Exorcism

Chapter 62

62.

“Aren’t you Song Min-ho? Did you come again for the Punishment Committee?”

“okay. Outside now to investigate the case-”

The guards in the night shift room and Song Mino exchanged greetings and information.

and I’m in between

Silently, I secretly observed the man the arrow was pointing at.

Age is about 30 years old.

There was a level 28.

He’s not that strong

“All right. I cooperate.”

“Yes, thank you. First, let’s say hello to Inspector Kang here.”

Also, he answered casually with Minho Song.

And he, who revealed his name as Han Joo-won, shook my hand without a hateful expression.

The red level indicator means hostility toward me.

Even so, the fact that he doesn’t reveal his hostility to this point means that he is hiding something.

then···

“Then what shall we do now?”

Dayoung Kim asked.

In response, I came up with a policy I thought of.

“First, I want to inspect the crime scene. And I want to hear what the eyewitnesses have to say. Please come one by one in the order I nominated.”

“Apart? Can’t we just do it here? There is no content.”

It was not Han Ju-won who said that, but another man.

He looked like he was annoyed by my coming.

On the other hand, Han Joo-won nodded his head and secretly expressed his approval.

But it couldn’t be.

“Because that’s the rule in the police.”

When I, a member of the police force, said that, the guards withdrew as if there was nothing they could do.

So, I decided to call the other two first, and Han Joo-won, an important figure, last.

The temporary newspaper room was designated as one of the warehouses scattered around.

I looked around the warehouse and nodded in satisfaction.

In the basement, no one passed by, and it was quite far from the sleeping quarters.

A place where no matter how much someone shouts, they won’t be noticed for a while.

“Today we will conduct an investigation here. so···”

So, first of all, I decided to send Minho Song back.

As soon as I said that, Song Min-ho immediately understood what I meant.

“All right. I’m going back around here. Please feel free to contact us if needed. Then Dayoung, please take good care of me.”

“yes!”

After Song Mino left, I sat down on a chair in the storage room.

“Shall we call the first person now?”

“I have to call. But before that, I have something to say.”

There was only one person who would do the newspaper anyway.

Han Joo-won, it was clear that he was involved in the case.

Of course, I don’t think he was the culprit that caused the incident.

The level of exorcists is too low for that.

It was strange that such a bastard still remained at the academy even if he committed a crime in the spur of the moment.

Even so, considering the hostility indicator pops up on me, I wonder if it’s some kind of spy.

It was also very likely.

But the problem was how to relate him to the case.

I have no evidence, no witnesses.

I only know the answer to the problem with my ability.

You can’t convince others like this.

If that’s the case… then there will be no other choice but to produce evidence.

“I found the suspicious guy.”

“really?”

Dayoung Kim said with her eyes wide open.

After all, just looking around and identifying a suspect was no different from a famous detective in a cartoon.

But this time, Dayoung Kim’s cooperation was needed.

“But there is no evidence. It’s all because I figured it out with my intelligence. Do you know roughly what my abilities are?”

“sure.”

She once did an exorcism with me at the training center.

So, I have a certain level of confidence in my abilities.

I decided to use that trust.

“So, . . . please completely disregard what is happening in this room.”

“What, are you ignoring me?”

“yes. You don’t have to help. Just pretending not to see is enough.”

“Uh… I don’t know what you mean, but I get it. Okay.”

Dayoung Kim said that willingly and nodded.

For now, it would be better to listen to an answer like this.

“Then let’s start the newspaper.”

That’s how the first person and the second person came and went.

For them, what did they see that day, what did they hear, etc.

It was just a standard question they would have answered several times already.

So, the two guards seemed to be dissatisfied inside.

This was entirely intentional.

Han Joo-won would surely ask the two people who came first about what I was examining here.

It was a piece of cake to let him off guard and come here.

And as expected, the last person opened the door of the newspaper room and entered.

“I am Han Joo-won.”

“You are here. Please have a seat.”

As soon as he sat down, the storage room door closed with a thud.

And Dayoung Kim stood in front of the door with a cold gaze like a gatekeeper.

“What, what is it?”

He frowned at the unusual atmosphere.

But…sorry, it was already too late.

I picked up a tool from the material warehouse.

It was a Jangdori.

“Han Joo-won, 32 years old. Classical witchcraft. Is it true that you have been working as a security guard for the third year this year?”

“That’s it…”

“Then let’s start with the fingers.”

“yes?”

he asked innocently, and I swung my dagger.

It was the beginning of the work of creating evidence.

“·······”

For a while, people’s screams and shouts came and went in the warehouse deep underground.

I was reviving the experience of being a gloomy warrior to the fullest by properly using the tools that stayed in the material warehouse.

At that time, the target was mainly assassins sent by nobles or members of the royal family who did not even know the subject.

Compared to those who had been trained to alleviate pain since childhood, Han Joo-won was a very easy opponent.

furthermore.

“This side will hurt more. A bundle of nerves pass through it.”

Dayoung Kim, who thought it would be fortunate to just ignore it, did not hesitate to give appropriate and medical advice next to me.

The moment she realizes that she was a doctor.

Thanks to that, it took less than 15 minutes for the truth to flow out of Han Ju-won’s mouth.

“So…money was the purpose?”

“Yes…yes!”

“Evidence?”

It was an absurd question asking for evidence from the criminal, but Han Ju-won’s mouth never stopped.

“In my room! In the closet of my room, I have a phone to communicate with them and a bankbook where I received the money. There’s also a call log there, and if you check Messenger, the conversation history will be there too! So… so please now…”

He said he was a shaman, so I wondered what if he sent something like telepathy through his soul.

It was more common sense than I thought.

Hey, if you did something like that, there’s a high chance that the exorcists here will find you.

“Phone features.”

“It’s a black smartphone! The model is-”

I glanced at Dayoung Kim.

Then Dayoung Kim immediately moved to find the evidence.

I continued to ask questions.

“Then tell me as much as you know about what happened that day.”

At my words, Han Joo-won answered the question faithfully.

There were occasional hesitations along the way, but his tongue moved faster than a snake’s when he glanced at the awl placed near the nail.

“So…they contacted you, the guard, first, and you were blinded by the money, so they informed you of the location of the new flag and the favorable time for the raid. that’s right?”

“···yes. you’re right.”

“But why are you still here?”

“They said they would give you three times more money if you let them know the progress of the investigation while watching for another week…”

I nodded.

“Then, where are they?”

“That… I don’t know that! I really don’t know!”

I’ll have to ask Awl whether the words are real or not.

Once more, a scream erupted.

But still he cried and kept repeating that he didn’t know.

Unfortunately, he didn’t seem to know.

I continued the question with an awl in hand.

“Then don’t you think of anything that could be a clue?”

“yes···? That… that…”

His eyes trembled dizzily.

“Car number! I remember the number of the car they were in!”

Oh, that was pretty good information.

Then I got the number of the car and the account number from which he received the money.

Is this enough… sufficient income?

It was when I thought so.

“Inspector Kang!”

Along with Dayoung Kim, Minho Song, who had been away, entered the warehouse.

“I have heard all the stories. I found the evidence myself and checked it.”

It seems that Dayoung Kim stopped by Minho Song and moved with him before going to find the evidence.

I didn’t do it, but it was a pretty smart move.

At least I can avoid suspicion that I manipulated the evidence.

“By the way… this is…”

Song Min-ho looked at the bloodied Han Ju-won and the bloody tools with his expression hardened.

“Is something wrong?”

I don’t know what to say, I asked him first.

Up until now, he had even exchanged greetings with Han Joo-won.

However, at my question, Minho Song shakes his head expressionlessly.

“no. The problem with Mine is just this much. How far did you find out?”

Song Min-ho called Han Joo-won Mine.

The story that no matter what happens, I will not hold me accountable.

So I told him what I found out.

“okay. This bastard…”

Song Min-ho glared at Han Joo-won fiercely.

Eyes that wouldn’t be strange even if I killed him like this.

However, Song Min-ho sighed heavily and refined his life.

“We will take this.”

“Yes, you are.”

The investigation and punishment of crimes related to the Yeokcheon Dodang are supervised by the LB Academy before the police.

Since that was the authority of an official agency, I lightly agreed to his request.

Accordingly, Song Min-ho called other exorcists, and they took Han Ju-won somewhere.

Considering the punishments each formal institution inflicts upon its opponents, it is probable that he will no longer be seen alive.

“Thank you for your effort. No, that word is embarrassing. I never thought I would have been unable to recognize it even with a clue right in front of me…”

Song Mino bit his lip.

But when I waved my hand saying I wasn’t, he carefully questioned me.

“By the way… how the hell did you find out?”

“It is my ability. The details are trade secrets.”

“okay. All right. I won’t ask any more.”

Then, as expected, Song Mino neatly withdrew.

Not belonging to the same police force was convenient in this respect.

“Then what are you going to do now?”

I asked.

After finding and handing over all necessary clues, it was time for the academy to make a decision.

“I have a car number, an account number, and a smartphone, so I’ll find their hideout first. It probably won’t take long… How about staying at the academy today?”

As he said, there were enough clues now.

So, I was of the same opinion that the investigation wouldn’t take long, so I nodded.

“thank you. Have a good rest today. Dayoung will guide you to the accommodation.”

“yes!”

Saying that, Song Mino let us go.

It’s still far from the regular time to leave work, and even though it’s mid-morning, they say they’re done.

Is it called Yarikkiri in professional jargon?

“···Good?”

It’s Yari.

It was unheard of at the police box.

Even if I finish the case in the morning and come back, by the time I finish writing the report, the next case is waiting for me.

When I thought about that, I suddenly hated going back.

“The accommodation is here. It’s called a dormitory, isn’t it? Most of our academy personnel live here. It is a difficult place to commute to and from work.”

And the building Dayoung Kim took me to was a high-rise building like a hotel.

I heard that there is also a swimming pool there.

Looking up at the hotel, it was strange.

Was it really the right thing to do to become a police officer?

I had such a question.

* * *

afternoon the next day.

As expected, Song Mino brought the results of the investigation in just one day.

He said that LB Academy had been investigating the locations of the rebels involved in this incident even before I came.

In the meantime, the information obtained this time became a decisive clue, and he said that he immediately identified their location.

“So where are you?”

“Here.”
