leading figure
King Kong faction boss Park Soo-chan opened his mouth with his gun on his shoulder.
“Isn’t that too presumptuous of a statement? I don’t think that’s something you should be addressing, detective.”
“I said the hand of the person who is against it. So now I can take that as opposition?”
Yang Kang-cheol, the chief of staff, stepped forward.
“That’s not what I meant at all. My older brother said that he wanted to discuss ways to better revitalize the commercial district.”
“So you’re saying that you don’t disagree with what I said?”
“That’s right. Our eldest brother’s hand was firmly in place.”
Shin Dae-seong looked at the other two bosses.
“Anyone against it?”
“We, the Bulgasari faction, are enthusiastically in favor.”
Shin Dae-seong said with a smile.
“When did you get out?”
The boss of the Bulgasari faction answered politely.
“It’s been about 10 years.”
“Do you remember what I said in prison?”
“Of course I remember. When a detective and a criminal meet, don’t expect mercy.”
“Are you surprised to hear that I was released?”
“ha ha ha······.”
The boss of the Bulgasari faction answered, slightly loosening his tie.
“I’m not the only one who’s panicked. From the moment we heard the news that Detective Shin was released, big-time criminals across the country have been having trouble sleeping.”
“Anyway, you are actively in favor, not against.”
“you’re right.”
“Now there’s only one left······.”
This is when Shin Dae-seong looks at the Megalodon boss.
“wow!”
“Hahahaha, Manager Park, we’ve got you!”
The detectives from the special task force burst into cheers and shouts.
Shin Dae-seong warned the gang leaders who were making faces.
“Don’t mess with detectives who are having a company dinner.”
The Megalodon faction boss nodded and answered.
“I heard about Detective Shin. I’m not against it. But gathering these gang bosses together and forcing them to do something… wouldn’t that be a problem?”
“It won’t be a problem. Okay?”
“······.”
“I’m suggesting a mutually beneficial solution. You’re fighting over your own survival, but you’re also dying together. The biggest problem is that you’re also creating innocent victims.”
-dump!
Kim Han-gyeol, drunk, sat next to Shin Dae-seong.
“Detective Shin······I love you.”
“Yeah, yeah, me too······.”
“What on earth do you do for fun, Detective Shin? Don’t you always think about cases? Is it the fun of catching criminals?”
“I don’t have much of an attachment to life.”
“Really?”
“Yes, when I was with my wife, every day was fun and new, but after I became single, I didn’t feel that way. I just lived. But I didn’t give up on life. That’s why I was able to survive without collapsing even in prison.”
“With all due respect, Detective Shin… But this time, you’re in charge of a new case, the murder of the Prime Minister’s son. Is that the reason you took on that case?”
Shin Dae-seong looked around and said.
“Detective Kim, can we talk about that later?”
“Why do you do it later? What are you afraid of, these gang bosses? Isn’t what Detective Shin is after a secret organization of the state?”
“You’re really drunk······.”
“Not much, just a little… Detective Shin, you want to solve that case and become friends with Lee Yoon-chul, the most likely candidate for president, right? If he becomes president in the future, you can investigate the secret organization of the country that you were aiming for.”
“······.”
“I love Detective Shin, but I’m also scared of him. He has an unyielding will that hasn’t given up for over 20 years. Doesn’t he just brutally finish off anyone he faces?”
Then, Kim Han-gyeol warned the three bosses.
“You guys should also just follow Detective Shin’s orders. Detective Shin is not afraid of anything in the world. Once he’s caught with a criminal, he’ll definitely send them to hell.”
“Detective Kim, stop and go back. The other detectives are about to finish drinking.”
“That won’t do!”
Kim Han-gyeol sat up abruptly and hurriedly returned to his seat.
“Give me my drink~.”
Shin Dae-seong looked at the gang leaders again.
“Where did we go… That’s right, I was about to talk about ways to revitalize the commercial district when I was invaded by Detective Kim. What I’m demanding is simple. First, this place must now become a place that symbolizes peace. Any violent incidents between gangsters will not be tolerated.”
The boss of the Bulgasari faction raised a problem.
“It’s not easy to manage an organization. How can you prevent them from fighting one by one? They’re rough guys, so they start with their fists.”
“That’s your business. From now on, the cases that occur here will be handled specially by the Unsolved Cases Unit. I will carefully investigate each and every one of them. The second is······.”
-dump!
This time, Manager Park Dong-hee sat next to Shin Dae-seong.
“Senior Shin, I respect you and I’m sorry······.”
“What does Manager Park have to apologize to me for?”
“When my senior was falsely accused, I should have actively tried to stop it. But I was worried that it would harm me, so I couldn’t actively step forward.”
“It’s not Manager Park’s fault. Anyone would have done that.”
“As expected, Detective Shin is a gentleman among gentlemen. However, he cannot tolerate criminals messing around. Do you remember the old days? The guy who kept saying he was a nationwide gangster?”
Shin Dae-seong tilted his head and asked again.
“Who are you talking about?”
“Why not? We went to get him with guns, but he resisted until the very end. In the end, didn’t Detective Shin turn him into a sea of blood? By taking away their knives.”
“Ah, are you talking about the New York gang leader, Lee Tae-san?”
“Yes, that’s right. It’s New York-based Itaewon.”
At that moment, the three bosses opened their eyes wide at the same time.
The New York faction was not just a nationwide gangster, but a real nationwide crime syndicate. In particular, Lee Tae-san was known as the greatest fighter since Dangun, and his subordinates were no different.
The New York faction incident, which collapsed in an instant, was considered a mystery in the organized world.
“That kid, when he gets into a fight, he says he’s the best fighter since Dangun, but he’s really tough. He’s probably the first person since Dangun to get hit so many times. At that time, Detective Shin was really flying.”
“It’s too bad… Not now?”
“He’s still great now. But when I look at Senior Shin back then, I feel regret. Who clipped Senior Shin’s wings? If Senior Shin had remained a detective, criminals wouldn’t be running wild like they are now.”
“It seems like Manager Park’s flattery skills have only improved over time.”
“But can I really get into politics?”
Shin Dae-seong turned to him and asked.
“Why are you suddenly interested?”
“The kids are growing up. If I retire as a police officer, I don’t have much else to do. If I make connections in politics, I can secure a decent position, right?”
“I disagree.”
This is what the King Kong faction boss said.
“Why~?”
“Becoming a politician is a man’s ultimate goal. But in the end, you lose more than you gain. This is advice from my experience.”
“Did you grab the wrong line?”
“It’s the same in any political circle. You get hit on the back of the head, you get used like a swindler, and then you get abandoned. It felt like the organized world was pure.”
Manager Park Dong-hee gestured to the King Kong faction boss and said.
“Senior Shin, is this what the world of politics is like?”
“Don’t worry, I’ll make sure you have a firm grip on the golden rope. Dadung’s dad is the biggest patriot right now.”
“I think so too. But some people criticize me for being clueless. If you just give birth, that’s it? How are you going to raise them? If you give birth without thinking, you can’t avoid being a beggar. To be honest, that’s not wrong······.”
Park Dong-hee continued to grumble while looking at the manager of the Hope House.
“They say that house prices have gone down recently, but I don’t know what caused the drop. I think that the factor in population decline is house prices. When I look at house prices in Gangnam, I can’t help but sigh. I think that only families that have children should be given the right to buy a house.”
“What are you talking about?”
“If you have one child, you can buy one house. If you have two children, you can buy two houses. If you have ten children, you can buy ten houses. This way, you can solve real estate speculation and population decline at the same time.”
“Is this politician Park Dong-hee’s first pledge?”
“If you make a promise like this, you’ll most likely get hit in secret.”
“Manager, what are you doing here?”
Team leader Choi Jang-soo came to pick up Manager Park Dong-hee.
“Adults, go away! The police officers dared to challenge you to a drink.”
“This is disobedience······.”
“So we must go quickly and prevent catastrophe.”
Shin Dae-seong opened his mouth again, looking at the gang leaders.
“How far did we go······.”

The next morning.
The office of the special task force for unsolved cases was deserted. They had a big company dinner and went to work in the afternoon.
Shin Dae-seong was sitting alone in the office.
-dump!
Reporter Lee Yeon-jin sat next to Shin Dae-seong.
“Aren’t you going to work this afternoon?”
“I work for Daedong Ilbo······ First, I have to go to the police station and report for work.”
“Are you okay with that body?”
Reporter Lee Yeon-jin’s face did not look like that of a living person.
Even heavy makeup couldn’t hide the dark circles.
“I have the nickname ‘Queen of Company Dinners.’”
“I think so.”
At the company dinner yesterday, she exuded tremendous energy.
He led the early atmosphere with his unique friendliness.
“But it wouldn’t work for the unsolved crimes unit. It was like the people who died because they couldn’t have dinner together woke up as zombies. I thought it was over by now, but they got up and drank again, and I thought it was really over. They got up and drank again······.”
“Go out and take a nap in the conference room.”
“Is that okay?”
“I think it has to be that way. Come on in.”
It’s time for reporter Lee Yeon-jin to stand up from her seat.
A man who looked like a bodyguard came into the office.
“Is this the special task force for unsolved cases?”
Shin Dae-seong answered.
“Yes, that’s right.”
“Has Detective Shin Dae-seong arrived at work?”
“I am Shin Dae-seong. What brings you here?”
“Oh, I see.”
A middle-aged bodyguard approached and greeted me.
“I am the head of the security team for Representative Lee Yoon-chul.”
“How did you come to find me?”
“I heard that the next case from the Special Investigation Team is related to our congressman. Is that correct?”
“Yes, that’s right… Are you, Representative Lee Yoon-cheol, opposing the investigation? Is it because of political pressure?”
The security team leader answered with a wave of his hand.
“No, there is no such thing. Rep. Lee Yoon-chul said he would even accept the slander that he pressured the investigation. That shows how much he wants to find the culprit who murdered his son.”
“There has been no official announcement yet. The special investigation team will do its best to investigate.”
“The congressman would like to meet with Detective Shin.”
“Congressman Lee Yoon-cheol is the busiest person in South Korea. If you set an appointment time, I will come see you.”
“There’s no need for that, you’re here now. You’ll meet the chief of Gangnam 2nd Police Station and then come down right away.”
“Are you here for security purposes?”
“Yes, the congressman will be here to talk. May I take a look?”
“Please do so.”
The security team leader calmly looked around the office and asked.
“When do the other detectives come to work?”
“I was given permission to come to work in the afternoon. I know you’ve had a hard time.”
“I have also heard about the activities of the special task force for unsolved cases. Congressman Lee is also looking forward to it more than ever. I guess he is coming now.”
The noise outside was getting louder and louder.
Soon after, the office door opened and Rep. Lee Yoon-cheol came in.
“Thank you for your hard work.”
Shin Dae-seong also greeted him politely.
“This is detective Shin Dae-seong from the Unsolved Cases Unit.”
“Nice to meet you.”
The two shook hands with smiling faces, and reporters took pictures.
Rep. Lee Yoon-cheol asked.
“Is there a quiet place?”
“How about the conference room?”
The two entered the conference room of the special task force for unsolved cases.
To ensure a quiet conversation, attendants controlled the entry of reporters.
Rep. Lee Yoon-cheol opened his mouth.
“You’re investigating my son’s case?”
“This is the next official case from the Minor Incidents Task Force.”
“I have a personal favor to ask.”
“Please speak.”
“If you catch him······ please let me know first.”
“Are you saying that you will seek personal revenge?”
“Isn’t that okay?”
“······.”
“That bastard tortured and killed my son horribly. I will take revenge at any cost.”
“Okay, but I’d like to ask you a favor instead.”
“What is it?”
“Please tell me what operation the state secret service was conducting at the time my wife died.”
