Episode 101
That same day, nearing midnight.
At the back of the S Hotel, a black van was parked, and inside, two men were talking on the radio with earphones plugged in.
“A quick service motorcycle just arrived. Please check the lobby team’s route.”
Members of the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency’s drug crime investigation team are divided into three groups and deployed to the scene.
As soon as the radio signal came, a helmeted courier entered the lobby, and at the same time, a man naturally followed behind him.
“Oh my… What the heck? If you need a card, you could have told me in advance. You said you have to have it delivered to your hotel room.”
The delivery man, who was trying to press the button while riding the elevator, got annoyed when the button didn’t work.
Since this was a floor that could only be accessed with a room card, pressing the button was useless.
The detective who followed him then pressed his card and asked.
“Which floor are you going to? If you’re in a hurry, would you like to take the stairs on the floor I’m going to?”
The delivery man’s expression brightened as soon as he saw the 8th floor button light up.
“Hey, I was just going to the 8th floor! Thank you, boss!”
“Thank you, what? Quick, time is of the essence, so you should hurry up and finish your work and then go somewhere else.”
A man who speaks like that and then naturally touches his cell phone.
I sent a message to the undercover team.
-Destination: 8th floor. Matches the information provided.
Up until now, the situation has been exactly as reported.
There was a tip that around midnight, a courier was going to deliver drugs to room 812 of the S Hotel.
If I continued straight to room 812, I would be like a rat in a cage from then on.
-OK. The undercover team will go up too.
The detective who got off on the 8th floor followed the same direction as the delivery man.
Then he stopped in front of room 810 and pretended to look for his room key while rummaging through his pockets.
Ding dong-
“Quick!”
A situation where it is completely impossible to predict who will come out.
No matter who comes out, we just have to watch for now.
If the tip is confirmed, then what the delivery man hands over is definitely drugs, and we need to check whether the other party accepts it or not.
Crunch.
The door opened and a man came out, an ordinary looking man who looked to be in his 30s.
But the detective couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows at the words that immediately came out of his mouth.
“S shay?”
Chinese came out of the mouth of a man who was obviously assumed to be Korean, and the delivery man I encountered looked slightly flustered.
“Ah… Quick, quick. Delivery, delivery!”
“Delivery? What delivery?”
“Uhm… I don’t know. Anyway, no pay, no money! Okay? Have a good time!”
After handing the small box he had brought to the Chinese man, the deliveryman hurriedly left.
This is because the cost has already been paid and all that is left to do is deliver the goods.
The man who had been looking around the box soon closed the door to the guest room and disappeared inside, and at around the same time, the elevator door to the 8th floor opened.
“Detective Lee! What happened to the item? Did you get it?”
“Oh, that’s it. I did receive it.”
“I got it, but why isn’t it drugs?”
“No, I’ll have to go in later and check. The problem is, he’s not Korean.”
At those words, his fellow detectives nodded and asked back.
“You’re not Korean? Then what country are you from? Are you a man or a woman?”
“How did you know he was Korean or not? Was he a Westerner?”
“No, he just started speaking Chinese out of the blue. I majored in Chinese literature, so I could tell right away just by his pronunciation. He was definitely Chinese.”
The detectives’ expressions became quite hazy.
I naturally thought he was Korean, but it turned out that his nationality was Chinese.
“Why China? If we catch them, things will only get more complicated.”
“These kids think that if they do this in their country, they will be sentenced to death, so they are afraid and keep crawling in. A while ago, an official document came flying in from the Gyeonggi Southern Police Agency.”
“What, you’re saying that drug trafficking is taking place among Chinese people in the metropolitan area?”
“Yes, that’s right. They say that they’ve been operating as a guerrilla organization for years and they haven’t been able to catch up. This can’t be that, right?”
The team leader said with a laugh.
“Hey, Arthur. We’re just moving after receiving a tip. How could it be such a big case? Those guys that the Southern Office hasn’t been able to catch for years. We won’t know until we try to find out. There’s a high chance that it’ll be a bust.”
In fact, it was an investigation team that got moving after just one phone call.
It was because it had been a long time since I had achieved anything and I felt uncomfortable just staying in the office.
So, this is also a situation where we cannot be sure until we see it with our own eyes.
In most cases like this, it often comes to nothing.
“Whatever it is, let’s just go for now. Once we open that door, we’ll know for sure. Is he here to tour or to take drugs?”
With those words, the investigation team gathered in front of room 812.
I had already asked for the hotel’s cooperation and received the room key.
Tiddik.
The detectives unlocked the door and went inside without delay.
Each of them, holding a camera and handcuffs, walked inside without hesitation and began searching the crime scene.
however.
“What, what is this… Is this room 812?”
“Ugh, what the heck is this……”
“Wow, this guy is totally crazy? This guy’s eyes are totally wide open.”
The detectives divided the cases into two groups: one where the reports matched and the other where they did not.
But everyone was dumbfounded by the sight they were seeing right now.
“Hey, this is a huge mess. First, handcuff that kid.”
With those words, the detective holding the camera began taking nonstop pictures of the crime scene.
Meanwhile, around the taxi at the same time.
In front of a nearby food stall, two men were eating oden. They were Heeseong and Choi Pil-hwan.
Choi Pil-hwan put down the skewer and smiled broadly, his mouth agape.
“Hehehe, I don’t know if it’s okay to receive that much money for such a simple request? Of all the requests I’ve done, this is the easiest and the most rewarding.”
“Well, that’s also the boss’s ability. What I needed was the boss’s connections.”
“But how did you know? I’m a former detective and have a lot of connections in that area.”
Heeseong chuckled as he poured the fish cake soup.
“Isn’t it more difficult not to know? Last time, when I asked you to find out about the Busan daycare center, you showed that kind of attitude. An ordinary person would never be able to show that kind of ability to handle things.”
They say they are detectives, but to people they are just detectives who do background checks on other people.
It was absurd that the orphanage would simply hand over information that should never be revealed to such a person.
So, Hee-sung’s judgment is that he must have changed his identity and informed the other person from the beginning.
“I see you still carry it around? The civil servant ID card you used when you were a detective.”
At Heeseong’s story, Choi Pil-hwan glanced around and whispered softly.
“I hardly ever use it unless it’s really, really necessary! You should never, ever talk about this kind of thing, right? Right? Never?”
“Haha, I guess it’s because of what CEO Choi is doing. Let’s finish this job well first and then think about it.”
Even though he said that, Hee-sung thought that it was a very good idea to ask Choi Pil-hwan to handle this matter.
Since I didn’t have much knowledge on this side, I thought I could somehow tie it up with a trap investigation, but Choi Pil-hwan, who heard the plan, changed it in a completely different direction.
The entrapment investigation itself could be ruled illegal by the judge, and if the person involved was not on drugs in the first place, the risk could be even greater.
Above all, it is nearly impossible to move detectives in that way.
So, the method that Choi Pil-hwan came up with was to actually do drug dealing.
It’s much easier to get detectives moving through intelligence than through entrapment, and it’s a hundred times easier to tie up people if you have actual drugs.
After all, the goal was to catch him on the spot and have him detained.
“But how on earth did you deal drugs? How did you know where the drug dealers were?”
When Heeseong asked, Choi Pil-hwan opened his mouth as if he was more surprised.
“Oh my, our manager is so busy working that he doesn’t know anything about the world outside of the entertainment industry. There’s a story on the news these days that says it’s easier to get drugs than to buy snacks at a convenience store. Isn’t that why the country is in such a mess right now?”
“Drugs? How?”
“How about this? You go into a secret chat room and make a deal. You pay with virtual currency and throw the item like this. The seller places it in a specific location so that it is never revealed.”
I often heard about drug-related incidents involving celebrities, but I never knew that drugs were so easily available.
In fact, I made this request to Choi Pil-hwan and received a reply saying that all preparations were completed in less than 30 minutes.
Oh, that’s how the world turns.
“I hope the boss won’t be hurt later on. He actually paid the price.”
“Haha, I guess we won’t be able to catch the seller anyway. That’s usually how entrapment investigations are usually conducted. Don’t worry, even if something happens, I know all of them, so it won’t be a big deal. They’re all my juniors and seniors, and the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency people.”
Since Choi Pil-hwan said so, I couldn’t help but think so.
Anyway, what was important now was to see with my own eyes Ling Wei being dragged out by the detectives.
“Huh? Wait a minute… Something feels strange, Manager?”
At that moment, Choi Pil-hwan, who had been looking at the hotel entrance, suddenly started to stride forward and tilt his head.
Heeseong also looked in the same direction and saw several people coming out of the hotel entrance.
“Didn’t you say earlier that there was only one person? That only Chinese people were staying at the hotel.”
“Oh, yes. That’s right.”
“But there’s more than just one person coming out in handcuffs. There are two men and two women. A total of four people.”
At those words, Heeseong’s expression suddenly changed.
Because I was worried that I might have given the wrong room number.
However, Heeseong couldn’t help but be shocked by the story Choi Pil-hwan brought up next, but with a completely different meaning.
“Wait a minute. Does that mean they really did drugs…? Not just the Chinese guy, but all of them in a group?”
