The Legendary Detective Catches All the Criminals - Chapter 130



Only Noblemtl

◈Episode 130◈

Untouchable

The unsolved crimes unit, which returned from vacation, is now fully formed.

Shin Dae-seong kept his promise.

They decided on the Yang Eun-bi case as their next case.

The national security facility where Jang Sam-su is imprisoned.

Shin Dae-seong sat in a chair in the lobby and asked Kim Han-gyeol.

“How is Chef Yang’s condition?”

“He was moved to a general ward yesterday.”

“There’s no danger to your life, right?”

“So, I guess he was moved to a general ward. But does the organization called ‘Untouchable’ really exist?”

Shin Dae-seong tilted his head and asked back.

“What is untouchable?”

“These are the beings that Jang Sam-su spoke of as untouchable. I used my brain to give them names.”

“It’s completely fine.”

Kim Han-gyeol’s response to the teacher was 100 points.

“Really? Thank you! I was worried that Detective Shin would think I was unsophisticated.”

“What’s important isn’t the name. It’s revealing their true nature to the world.”

“But are there really such crazy people? Other people don’t know at all. This is the first time I’ve heard of it as a conspiracy theory follower. And Jang Sam-su even has a history of mental illness. It seems like a crazy person talking nonsense.”

Shin Dae-seong answered with a blank face.

“That must be their modus operandi. They tell the truth, but people won’t believe them.”

“Killing people for fun and even keeping score? You guys are definitely crazy.”

“It’s like a new kind of psychopath. They’re even more dangerous when they gather in groups.”

-Thump thump.

As the sound of footsteps rang out, Shin Dae-seong and Kim Han-gyeol got up.

‘Manager Park’, who guided them, has returned.

“Follow me.”

Manager Park took the lead with a blank expression on his face.

‘Detective Shin, I felt charisma from the start. ‘Please call me Chief Park. I won’t take personal questions.’ He’s probably from the National Intelligence Service, right?’

‘It’s better not to try to know too much here.’

‘That’s advice I can relate to.’

They followed Manager Park into a space similar to an investigation room.

An iron table and an old folding chair.

Jang Sam-su was sitting with a very timid expression. It was a completely different atmosphere from when I saw him at the hotel. He seemed to have become much more humble.

Manager Park said as he went out.

“Please feel free to talk. Today’s conversation will not be recorded.”

“Thank you.”

Shin Dae-seong looked at Jang Sam-su with a smiling face.

“long time no see?”

“······.”

“You don’t seem very happy to see me, do you?”

“I didn’t kill Yang Eun-bi.”

“Lies, I have all the evidence that you killed him. Aren’t you being too confident? They came out right away when we searched and seized them?”

Jang Sam-su bent his upper body forward.

Then he looked around and answered.

“I’m crazy and I won’t go to jail. I’ve already received an indulgence that means I won’t be punished for killing people.”

Kim Han-gyeol answered on his behalf.

“This time, it’s going to be tough. You know Song Yoo-jung, right? She kidnapped young siblings and brutally murdered them. And yet, the hospital released them as mentally ill, causing a huge uproar. The grandfather who was pushed down the stairs died in the hospital, and the grandmother was brutally murdered, and I saw it all happen.”

“······.”

“Additionally, he escaped from the mental hospital and killed more people. Can he be found mentally unstable in this atmosphere?”

“Hahaha, can I do it?”

“Because it’s something you shouldn’t touch?”

Jang Sam-su gradually regained his bold appearance.

“The world is never fair. You all know that. Being smart or studying well is not necessary. Being born into a great family is the most important thing.”

Kim Han-gyeol responded with a dumbfounded expression.

“Don’t you know the term ‘noblesse oblige’?”

“Pfft! Your pronunciation sucks. I graduated from Harvard. People say I’m crazy for only studying.”

“omg······.”

“You think you’re winning now? Absolutely not. It was unexpected that you framed me for terrorism. I would praise you even if you were an enemy. But this is it. I will be released due to mental weakness.”

“Isn’t it a boast to be crazy?”

Jang Sam-su smiled provocatively.

“Is that really so? When a poor man goes crazy, he becomes homeless, and when someone like me goes crazy, he gets a free pass to do whatever he wants.”

-bang!

Shin Dae-seong slammed the iron table.

Jang Sam-su, who was startled, looked timid again.

Shin Dae-seong said with strength in his eyes.

“Don’t talk about being crazy in front of me. If you don’t want to see what real madness looks like······.”

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry.”

“You must be experiencing this place with your own body.”

“······.”

“It doesn’t matter who your father is or how crazy you are. The only thing we’re concerned about here is whether you’re a threat to the survival of the nation.”

“I’m not that dangerous······.”

Kim Han-gyeol leaned his upper body toward Jang Sam-su and spoke.

“What are you talking about? No country will allow lunatics like you to roam the world.”

“Detective Shin. How do you know this place so well?”

“I was dragged here too. There was a time when I was ranked number one as the most dangerous person in South Korea.”

“How did you get out?”

“This isn’t a place to make criminals out of sane people. It’s a place to determine if someone poses a threat to national security. The fact that he hasn’t been released yet means that they’ve determined that there’s a high possibility of that happening.”

“!”

“From now on, I’m going to delve into ‘Untouchable’ in detail.”

Jang Sam-su tilted his head and replied.

“What is untouchable?”

“I’m talking about beings like you who shouldn’t be messed with. Do you like the new name?”

“It doesn’t seem bad······.”

“Tell Detective Kim to thank you. He put a lot of thought into making this for you guys.”

Kim Han-gyeol corrected the mistakes.

“It wasn’t a difficult thought, it just occurred to me.”

Shin Dae-seong asked Jang Sam-su without caring about it.

“Is Untouchable a regular meeting?”

“No comment.”

Shin Dae-seong smiled and got up. Then he approached Jang Sam-su and said,

-Tsk!

I just slapped him in the face.

“!”

Kim Han-gyeol was also startled and sat up abruptly.

This is because Shin Dae-seong never lost his dignity in his investigations, no matter when or what the situation.

“Poem. Detective Shin······.”

Shin Dae-seong looked at Kim Han-gyeol with a smile.

“It’s okay. We’re not doing an official police investigation. There’s no CCTV or anything.”

“His lip is busted? What if I report him for coercive investigation?”

“Isn’t it common for a crazy person to harm themselves?”

“Yeah, that’s right.”

“I’m trying to play fair.”

Kim Han-gyeol immediately understood what he meant.

“Detective Shin’s style of fair play?”

“Yes, that’s quite possible here. What score would Detective Kim give me?”

“Score?”

“These guys also rate their crimes. It seems like if you kill someone in a unique way, you get a higher score.”

Kim Han-gyeol responded with a nod.

“I give Detective Shin a 7 out of 10 for his slap.”

“Isn’t it too salty?”

“The power was good, but there was no sincerity. Did you see it at Baekryong Hotel? Wang Mi-na’s slap was 9.9 points. Only someone like Ms. Kang Geum-soon would get 9 points.”

“That’s an irrefutable logic······.”

Jang Sam-su staggered to his feet and glared at Shin Dae-seong.

“You will definitely regret this.”

“It’s not a lie… Why would I regret it? What are your colleagues up to?”

“!”

Immediately, Shin Dae-seong’s expression became distorted.

“Tell me what you’re up to, or I’ll cripple you for life… Do you think I’m joking?”

“Oh, no!”

Jang Sam-su shook his head with a frightened expression.

Because I was face to face with Shin Dae-seong’s murderous gaze.

* * *

The office of the Unsolved Cases Unit.

Team Leader Park Dong-hee looked at the wall clock and shouted.

“Let’s get off work!”

Manager Park Dong-hee woke up at exactly 6 o’clock.

The other detectives also got up one by one.

Team leader Choi Jang-su asked Manager Park Dong-hee.

“Are you going home early again today to take care of your child? Why don’t you have a drink with me for the first time in a while?”

“If you have a child, you have to take responsibility for it together. It’s not something a husband should do to burden his wife with childcare.”

Detective Han Eun-kyung truly sympathized.

“You’re so cool! I wish my husband was half as worn out as Manager Park.”

Hwang Yeo-ju asked Han Eun-kyung.

“What if your husband resembles Manager Park in both personality and appearance?”

“You’re saying that half of your face resembles mine? That’s not possible! My husband only sees your face······.”

“Wouldn’t Manager Park be hurt if you said that? Even though his face looks like that, he has a very sensitive personality.”

“I was just more hurt by what Detective Hwang said. Who is going to get in my car?”

Detective Seo Min-ju raised her hand.

“Me! I heard that a delicious restaurant opened up near Manager Park.”

“Detective Shin, aren’t you going to ride in my car?”

“I have some business to attend to in Gangbuk, so I’m going to take Detective Hwang’s car.”

“Okay, is Team Leader Choi on duty today?”

“Don’t worry, just go home from work.”

“Thank you for your hard work~.”

Detectives from the Cold Case Unit come out of the office one after another. Soon after, they disperse in cars headed for similar destinations.

* * *

The car driven by Detective Hwang Yeo-ju.

She spoke to Shin Soo-ah in the passenger seat.

“Why do you live alone? On paper, you’re Detective Shin’s daughter.”

“It’s awkward just thinking about it······ I’m still comfortable living alone. Detective Shin told me to do the same.”

“I thought about it carefully. There’s something absurd in Detective Shin’s house.”

“What is it?”

“You’ll find out later······ By the way, did you bring a gun?”

“Yes, the entire special task force is suddenly armed with guns. Is it because of the criminal you caught at the Baekryong Hotel?”

“Yeah, Detective Shin judged them to be very dangerous.”

“Would you dare to target the detectives? They’re not Hwang Gil-dong.”

Former Hwang Gil-dong answered.

“Hwang Gil-dong only targeted corrupt police officers. But the guys we’re dealing with now are crazy. We don’t know what they’ll do. No, right now, Detective Shin’s daughter, Inspector Shin, is the most dangerous.”

“I don’t think so.”

“why?”

“I feel bad for those who are after me. I’ve only dealt with very gentle criminals so far.”

“She looks like Detective Shin’s daughter.”

A smile spread across Hwang Yeo-ju’s face as she drove.

“Does it look like your wish will come true?”

Shin Soo-ah looked at the rearview mirror and answered.

“The yellow Taekwondo vehicle?”

“Yeah, they’ve been following us since we left the police station. I don’t think there will be any cute kids in fancy uniforms riding them.”

“Are you trying to shun me? Are you trying to lure me?”

“I told you I’d grant your wish. I think they’re targeting us because there were two women on board.”

“What idiots.”

“That’s right······ If you want to die, there’s nothing you can’t do.”

Shin Soo-ah is the top student in the police academy, and Hwang Yeo-ju is the former Hwang Gil-dong.

“Should I contact the SWAT team?”

“No, I told you not to trust anyone except the special task force. I already contacted the private security guards that Detective Shin prepared.”

“Is that okay? I told you to only use them when you’re sure they’re very dangerous. If Detective Shin said that, then it means they’re not normal.”

“Crazy guys are better than crazier guys. It’s hard to deal with them with a mediocre platform.”

“Don’t worry. I don’t like mediocrity either.”

-Brrrrr~.

Hwang Yeo-ju asked, increasing her speed.

“If they’re Detective Shin, how could they kidnap us?”

Shin Soo-ah answered while checking the taekwondo van through the rearview mirror.

“First, they will lure you into a trap they have set.”

Not long after, something like this happened.

“They’re suddenly doing construction… Is this 100% certain?”

“The intention is so obvious.”

“Still, it’s quite fun to be fooled.”

Hwang Yeo-ju drove her car to the direction the construction workers led her.

Construction sites continued to appear,

Before we knew it, the car driven by Hwang Yeo-ju had entered a quiet road.

“Did I tell Detective Shin?”

“What do you mean?”

“My car is a special bulletproof vehicle.”

“Oh my, really?”

“It can never be penetrated by any gun.”

“Why did you make a bulletproof car? I know it costs a lot of money.”

Hwang Young-joo stopped the car and answered.

“I was prepared for something like this.”

The car they were riding in was suddenly blocked by an SUV that jumped out, and a taekwondo van approached from behind.

-Rumble.

Hwang Yeo-ju opened the car door and got out.

He then immediately pulled out a gun and fired at the SUV.

-Tang tang tang tang tang tang tang!
