Gosoyeon asked while driving carefully.

“Where are you going at this hour?”

Kim Han-gyeol from the back seat answered.

“I’m going to take a break from vacation to solve some cold cases.”

“That’s great. What kind of unsolved case is it?”

“This is an incident in which a high school student killed a classmate by hitting him with a chair, and then disguised it as an accident.”

-Tiring~ Tiring~.

Kim Han-gyeol’s cell phone rang.

“Yeah, Detective Bang, did you read the text I sent?”

-Yes, I’m back in the office now and reviewing the incident records.

“Have you looked into the whereabouts of Jeong Su-ho’s bereaved family?”

-Yes, both of his parents are dead.

“I heard there were five of you, older brother and sister?”

-Not all of them are in Korea.

“What does that mean?”

-All five of them have emigrated overseas. I guess they really hated South Korea.

“Okay, let’s hang up for now. Is Detective Bang on vacation next week?”

-Yes, then I won’t tell anyone my whereabouts. I’ll even turn off my cell phone.

“It’s an excellent decision.”

After finishing the call, Kim Han-gyeol reported to Shin Dae-seong.

“Jung Soo-ho’s surviving family members are not in Korea. His parents are dead, and his older brother and sister have all emigrated.”

“Then there’s no one to take revenge on my behalf?”

“Maybe we were overthinking it······.”

“No, that can’t be. This seems like a very well-written script. I don’t think there would be such a loophole.”

“What do you mean? It’s like a well-written script.”

Shin Dae-seong said to Kim Han-gyeol with a smile.

“If I tell you now, Detective Kim won’t be able to handle it. Can I tell you later?”

“Of course! I always obey Detective Shin.”

-Squeak.

Gosoyeon stopped the car and said.

“We’ve arrived at our destination. But are you sure this is it?”

Kim Han-gyeol answered while glancing out the window.

“Yes, you have arrived exactly on time.”

“Isn’t this entertainment district more expensive than Gangnam in Seoul?”

“That’s right, there’s a guy here that we need to arrest. Just don’t leave and wait.”

-Knock knock.

Immediately, Kim Han-gyeol and Shin Dae-seong got out of the van.

Their faces were bathed in bright neon lights.

Kim Han-gyeol said as he took a step forward.

“Why do bad guys always do well?”

“I don’t know if this will be comforting, but it’s not just our country. There are countries that are worse off than South Korea.”

“That’s not very comforting. Only adults who are obsessed with irrationality say that. It doesn’t suit Detective Shin.”

“I’m an adult too······.”

As I entered the entertainment establishment, a waiter approached me warmly.

“Welcome! Are you two here? Or are you looking for your companions?”

Kim Han-gyeol responded with a smiling face.

“I guess I should say the latter. Isn’t CEO Jo Myeong-su here? Isn’t he someone who often appears on TV these days?”

“Hahaha, who are you?”

“Why are you suddenly asking about my identity?”

“I have to let Representative Cho know who is looking for him.”

Kim Han-gyeol handed over his police identification card.

“This is the Gangnam 2nd Police Station’s Unsolved Cases Unit. Where is CEO Jo Myeong-su?”

“You came from very far away······ He is not here.”

“Why did your attitude suddenly change? You said it as if you were here just a moment ago.”

“······.”

“I’m not a completely closed-off person either. You didn’t tell me until the end. I figured out where you were with my superhuman intuition. I’m using my superhuman intuition right now.”

The waiter understood what was meant and secretly pointed his finger to give directions.

‘It’s the noisiest room.’

‘Okay~.’

Kim Han-gyeol and Shin Dae-seong walked toward the hallway the waiter had pointed out.

“I know where it is right away.”

There was a room that was unusually noisy.

“But are you going to arrest Jo Myeong-su without any reason?”

“I want to do that, but is there a problem?”

“Father Jo Myeong-su still has many connections in the political world. I think we need to prepare in advance.”

“It’s been a while since I’ve told you a famous quote that Detective Kim often used.”

Kim Han-gyeol immediately understood what he meant.

“Is it better to ask for forgiveness than to ask for permission?”

“Yeah~ This time, it’s okay if we just do it. We caught the murderer who killed 38 people and our stock price hit the upper limit. In this atmosphere, it’s okay to arrest the president urgently.”

“I only trust Detective Shin and commit crimes.”

-Thud!

Kim Han-gyeol opened the door without thinking.

But no one cared because they were too busy having fun.

-Bam!

Kim Han-gyeol unplugged the band’s power cord.

When the loud music stopped, I was finally able to get the attention of the people in the room.

“What~?”

Kim Han-gyeol shouted at the drunken guests.

“I’m sorry for making you work so hard! Who is CEO Jo Myeong-su here?”

“Who is calling my name in vain!”

Kim Han-gyeol asked the man who was shouting to confirm.

“Are you sure, Mr. Jo Myeong-su?”

“Don’t you even watch TV? I’m the king of investment, CEO Jo Myeong-soo, you punk······.”

The men with him also chimed in one by one.

“Have you come to CEO Cho to get some investment information?”

“You have to stand in line! Our group leader won’t even meet with a member of the National Assembly.”

Regardless, Kim Han-gyeol handed over his police identification card.

“This is detective Kim Han-gyeol from the Unsolved Cases Unit. Mr. Jo Myeong-su, you are under emergency arrest on charges of the murder of Mr. Jeong Su-ho.”

-Clang!

When Kim Han-gyeol was handcuffed, the people in the room showed a sudden reaction of coming to their senses.

Jo Myeong-su suddenly became polite.

“Why are you arresting me······.”

“I heard you clearly a little while ago. Mr. Jeong Su-ho is under emergency arrest on suspicion of murder. The current time is 23:10. You have the right to appoint a lawyer······.”

Jo Myeong-su’s acquaintances kept their mouths shut and said nothing.

Shin Dae-seong approached them first and asked.

“What were you doing here?”

“Soo, I was drinking.”

“Did you really only drink alcohol?”

“Well, then. What else would you do besides drinking at a bar?”

The atmosphere was suspicious.

Shin Dae-seong turned his head and asked Kim Han-gyeol.

“Has marijuana been legalized in our country too?”

“No~ Where are you saying such nonsense?”

“Then arrest everyone here. If my nose is not mistaken, this smells like marijuana.”

“Really?”

Shin Dae-seong answered while winking at the woman in the room.

“If we search that woman, we might find some evidence.”

“!”

The woman who received Shin Dae-seong’s wink responded irritably.

“I got lucky today. It just so happens to be the Unsolved Cases Unit······ I will cooperate with the investigation, so please be considerate.”

Soon she placed the evidence on the table.

“Is this all?”

“Yes, there is none more. It’s true.”

Kim Han-gyeol announced to the people in the room.

“You are under arrest for possession of marijuana. Please sit quietly and wait until the police arrive.”

-Snap!

A man grabbed Kim Han-gyeol’s leg and hung on.

“Please save me! If I get arrested for drug use, my wife will divorce me. My life is over.”

“So you shouldn’t have committed a sin.”

That’s when Kim Han-gyeol ruthlessly pushes his hand away.

“Gasp, gasp, gasp, gasp, gasp!”

Jo Myeong-su was breathing heavily, as if he was having trouble breathing.

Kim Han-gyeol hurriedly approached and asked.

“Why are you doing that?”

“Soo, I can’t breathe······ Si, the heart medicine is in my pocket. Quickly! Gasp, gasp, gasp······.”

Jo Myeong-su looked to be in poor condition, as if he was out of breath.

“Where the hell is my heart medicine?”

“Soo, I can’t breathe. Handcuff me for a moment······.”

People had to be saved. Kim Han-gyeol briefly released Jo Myeong-su’s handcuffs.

-Ouch~!

Jo Myeong-su hit Kim Han-gyeol in the eye with his head.

“Kai······.”

As Kim Han-gyeol fell down, clutching his face, Jo Myeong-su quickly got up and ran away.

“Detective Shin, we have to chase that guy.”

“Leave it alone. You have to run away for sure to admit your guilt.”

“Did you know that guy would run away after hitting me?”

“Yeah, what does handcuffs have to do with breathing? I was worried that Detective Kim might notice, but it turned out to be a needless worry.”

Kim Han-gyeol got up with a embarrassed expression.

“We have to chase after it before it runs away completely.”

“Let’s wait until the police arrive. We can’t let go of the rabbit we caught.”

“Can I just go after them by myself?”

Shin Dae-seong shook his head firmly with a smiling face.

“What if something happens? If something goes wrong with Detective Kim, I think Hye-ran will just leave me alone.”

“Why on earth did that guy run away? He’s just adding to his crimes.”

“It looks like he wants his father to let him go this time too.”

“It looks to me like he’s drunk and out of his mind. If he was using marijuana, he could have just been arrested.”

“If you keep causing accidents, we’ll be comfortable······.”

This is when Shin Dae-seong sits on the sofa and stretches out his legs.

-Rumble.

The door opened and the police from the local police station rushed in.

“Are you detectives from the Unsolved Cases Unit?”

Kim Han-gyeol suddenly stood up and answered.

“Yes, that’s right. The people here are drug offenders. We’re guarding them well so they don’t escape.”

Shin Dae-seong and Kim Han-gyeol came out of the room.

“Where did he run away to······.”

This is when Kim Han-gyeol scratches the back of his head.

I saw Jo Myeong-su’s back as he left the room salon while talking on the phone. It seemed like he was hiding somewhere because the police had arrived.

“Dad, please save me just this once. Why can’t you touch the special task force for unsolved cases? I’ll go to you right now. Why are you telling me not to come? I’m going now!”

Kim Han-gyeol followed him leisurely.

“You’re still the same even though you’re old. It must be because your parents made you like that. Jo Myeong-su, stop right there!”

“Oh my gosh!”

Jo Myeong-su started to run away in a hurry.

In front of his anxious eyes, he saw Gosoyeon waiting outside the van.

“Hand me the car keys!”

He rushed in to forcibly take the car keys away,

-Sassak.

Go So-yeon quickly backstepped to dodge.

Then he tilted his upper body to the side and struck Jo Myeong-su in the side.

-puck!

“Ugh~.”

The moment Jo Myeong-su’s screaming face was exposed, Go So-yeon threw an uppercut with her full weight.

-Snap!

Jo Myeong-su, who was hit in the chin with a straight punch, fell forward and lost consciousness.

Kim Han-gyeol, who had been running after her, looked at her in surprise.

“Look, you were a boxer too?”

“No, my father had a boxing gym. I learned it in my spare time for self-defense.”

It’s past midnight.

Guests and staff of the Baekryong Hotel gathered at the restaurant.

There were some who woke up from their sleep and reacted with great dissatisfaction.

“What is going on, that we are gathered here at this hour?”

“That’s right······ I was just about to fall asleep······.”

Kim Han-gyeol confirmed that everyone had come up without exception and reported to Shin Dae-seong.

“We gathered all the hotel staff and guests.”

“great job.”

All eyes were focused on Shin Dae-seong as he walked to the center of the hall.

Then Shin Dae-seong opened his mouth with a calm expression.

“I apologize for being late. The reason I called you here is because I have found out who killed the general manager.”

“!”
