The Legendary Detective Catches All the Criminals - Chapter 134



Only Noblemtl

◈Episode 134◈

Perfect game

-Tink, tink.

Jaeseong went into the convenience store.

Jeong Pil-seung, who came in right after, asked.

“What did you come to buy?”

“It’s not mine, it’s yours. You haven’t even eaten because you were protecting me. What would you like to eat?”

“······.”

“My mother told me to pay it back if I owe her anything.”

Jeong Pil-seung looked down at Jae-seong and replied.

“That horse was properly raised at home.”

“But it gives me goosebumps when my mom says things like that.”

Soon, Jeong Pil-seung also recalled Shim Su-jin’s venomous appearance.

‘If you owe something to someone, you must repay it······.’

Just imagining the scene where he speaks with his teeth clenched, I couldn’t help but shudder.

“I just had that experience too.”

He then chose instant ramen and triangle kimbap.

“This is enough for me.”

“I’ll calculate it and pour the water. Just wait a moment.”

Jeong Pil-seung and Jae-seong sat side by side in a seat with a view of the street.

While the instant ramen was cooking, Jaeseong asked.

“Did you know that Detective Shin is currently appearing on ‘How Crazy Have You Been?’?”

“Yeah, that’s why I’m protecting you.”

“Detective Shin, you’ve been watching me all this time?”

“Yeah······ Detective Shin, your enemies are increasing. The organizations of the dark world, that is. I believe that rather than attacking the target directly, attacking someone the target cares about can cause greater suffering.”

Jaeseong responded while looking at the pedestrians on the street.

“Is the organization called Untouchable like that too?”

“All organizations in the dark world are similar.”

“Then our mother is the most dangerous?”

“Don’t worry. The most reliable and capable people are protecting Shim Soo-jin. The moment you touch her, you won’t be able to break even a bone.”

“Then that’s a relief. Would you like to watch the live broadcast with Detective Shin?”

Jeong Pil-seung nodded and looked at the screen of the cell phone Jae-seong held out to him.

“People are doing all sorts of things these days.”

“That’s a very dangerous game. They say it feels like electric shock.”

Lee Wan-yong and Shin Dae-seong started from opposite ends.

The two charged at the same speed and did not change direction until the very end.

-Papapapat~!

The two cars collided head-on, creating powerful sparks.

-Kuaaaah~

Lee Wan-yong’s scream erupted.

Special effects such as sparking sounds and white smoke were added.

But unlike Lee Wan-yong, who was making a fuss, Shin Dae-seong had an indifferent expression. He looked at Lee Wan-yong, who was suffering, with a blank expression.

“I wonder if Detective Shin is okay?”

“No, I’m just holding on.”

“With that indifferent face, you’re saying you’re enduring it?”

“Yeah, he didn’t even groan when his stomach was pierced by a knife.”

“Your lies are too much······. You’re being stabbed with a knife, how can you not even groan?”

Jaeseong looked at Jeongpilseung with eyes of distrust.

“I am the witness.”

“Did you see with your own eyes the bad guys stabbing Detective Shin with a knife?”

“No, I stabbed Detective Shin myself.”

“······.”

“The world of adults is complicated.”

Jeong Pil-seung focused on his cell phone screen again.

-Phase support support!

As long as the cars of Shin Dae-seong and Lee Wan-yong were together, the electric shocks continued.

-Is that a person?

Lee Wan-yong started to drive away, but Shin Dae-seong did not allow this.

-Support, support, support!

If you chase it at top speed,

-Pizza!

He was hit from behind.

-Kuaaaah!

Lee Wan-yong, who was screaming, was in so much pain that he felt like he was going to die.

* * *

‘How crazy have you gone?’ filming site.

“This is driving me crazy~!”

Lee Wan-yong, riding in an electric car(?), is on the verge of bursting into bubbles. It was a shock that was more like an electric chair in an execution ground than electric torture.

But the other person, Shin Dae-seong, looked so normal.

He looked as relaxed as if he was driving a bumper car at an amusement park.

“Detective Shin······ Are you using trickery?”

“No, I also feel a lot of pain from the electric shock.”

“You don’t look like you’re in a lot of pain······.”

Shin Dae-seong even showed a sly smile.

“I have a somewhat rare constitution. When I see someone suffering, I feel better for some reason.”

“It seems like symptoms of a psychopath······.”

“Anyway, the more you look miserable, the stronger I feel. If you want to beat me, smile brightly even when you’re miserable.”

“Damn it~ How can you do that as you please!”

Lee Wan-yong couldn’t stand it anymore and started running away again.

Shin Dae-seong followed right away.

Then he increased his speed again and rammed me.

-Phase support support!

“Kwaaah! Shit! What did I do wrong? Every time I touch something, it feels like a new pain!”

“If you suffer like that, it won’t be easy for you to beat me?”

“Damn you psychopath!”

Lee Wan-yong couldn’t stand it any longer.

I jumped out of the electric car in a hurry and lay down on the floor.

“I feel like I can live a little now······.”

Shin Dae-seong also got out of the car and looked down at him.

“I won, so can I ask a question?”

Lee Wan-yong nodded while lying on the floor.

“What is the name of the victim you killed?”

“That’s a bit of a tricky question······.”

“Didn’t you say you would answer any question truthfully?”

After thinking for a while, Lee Wan-yong opened his mouth.

“Eugene”

“Is the last name Yu, an only child?”

“No, I only told you my first name because you asked for it. If you want to know my last name, you need to ask additional questions.”

“······.”

Kim Han-gyeol called the office of the special task force for unsolved cases.

-Yes, Gangnam 2nd Police Station unsolved case······.

‘It’s me, Detective Bang.’

-Please speak, Detective Kim.

‘Look into the name Eugene. Including her relationship with Lee Wan-yong.’

-Detective Hwang has already started working. He is searching by adding Eugene to all the surnames.

‘Okay. Call me right away if anything comes up.’

-Hold on to your worries.

Kim Han-gyeol finished the call and looked at Lee Wan-yong.

He was still lying on the floor, having received a severe electric shock.

Shin Dae-seong urged him and said.

“What are you doing? Get up and continue the game.”

“The second ‘Lightning Chicken Race’ ends here.”

“What is this? I heard that each of the five games will be decided by a best-of-three game?”

“I misheard.”

“Lies… If you want to give up this game, you have to listen to two more questions from me. If you don’t like it, get back in the car.”

“Hey, sir!”

Lee Wan-yong, who had been lying down, suddenly stood up.

However, this does not mean that he will challenge the ‘Lightning Chicken Race’ again.

“Two questions, quick.”

Lee Wan-yong responded that he absolutely did not want to ride an electric car.

Shin Dae-seong crossed his arms and asked Lee Wan-yong.

“Tell me the name and age of the victim you killed.”

Accurate identification of the victim was of utmost importance.

Because it has the evidentiary power to obtain an arrest warrant or detention warrant.

“His last name was Han······and he was 18 years old at the time of his death.”

“You were a minor?”

“That wasn’t important to me.”

“Was the crime you committed the highest score for?”

“Hahaha, I almost forgot and gave you the answer for free······. If you want to know that, you’ll have to win the third game too.”

Shin Dae-seong answered with an expression that said it was below expectations.

“Come at me with venom. If I win the third game, it will end too blandly.”

“That will never happen. The third game is where I am most confident.”

* * *

The convenience store where Jaeseong and Jeongpilseung are sitting.

Customers streamed into the store one after another, and Jeong Pil-seung watched the live broadcast with Jae-seong while eating ramen.

“Why are you walking alone?”

“It’s more comfortable to travel alone.”

“It’s not like you’re being bullied or anything?”

“My mom is a top celebrity.”

“however?”

“There are many people who want to look good to me, but there are no people who bully or ostracize me. My mother is famous for being a villainess. I’m afraid of some kind of retaliation.”

“If that’s the case, then that’s fortunate······.”

Jaesung focused on his phone screen again.

“I think this game will be my last. Lee Wan-yong says it’s the game he’s most confident in, but I don’t have faith in it.”

“What game is the third one?”

“It’s a game of endurance.”

“What are you holding on to?”

Shin Dae-seong and Lee Wan-yong stood facing each other. They were so close that they could almost touch each other if they stretched out their hands.

“You just have to outlast your opponent.”

Next to Shin Dae-seong and Lee Wan-yong was an 80-kilogram sack of rice. They immediately slung the sacks of rice over their shoulders and went into the shelter.

It was when Jeong Pil-seung and Jae-seong were looking intently at their cell phones.

-Boom!

Someone slammed their palm against the glass wall outside a convenience store.

Jaeseong raised his head reflexively,

“!”

The group of thugs who looked like they were just punks recognized Jaeseong and were delighted.

“You were hiding here? I’ve been looking for you for a while now, wondering where you went.”

They came straight into the convenience store.

It was when the blond-haired punk approached Jae-seong while laughing.

-Ugh.

Jeong Pil-seung quickly got up.

Then he grabbed the back of the blond-haired punk’s head and slammed him onto the table with the ramen on it.

-Bam~!

Immediately, Jeong Pil-seung took out a gun and put it to the gangster’s head.

“You, on whose orders did you come here?”

“!”

“If you lie, I’ll drill a hole in your head.”

The blond-haired punk was so surprised that he peed his pants.

* * *

‘How crazy have you been?’ Special guest broadcast.

Lee Wan-yong declared that he would use the third game as a springboard for a comeback.

But that miracle did not happen.

-dump!

Lee Wan-yong couldn’t hold out for long and got down on his knees. He was no match for him even holding a sack of rice. If this trend continued, he would have to worry about the broadcast time.

Shin Dae-seong quietly put down the sack of rice and asked.

“Now name just one Untouchable member you know.”

“Isn’t that difficult?”

“Are you going to break your promise······? You said you would answer any question.”

“Snitching is a whole other level of trouble. You could get killed by the game administrator.”

“So, you’re not going to tell?”

“That’s not true. If Detective Shin can beat me perfectly, I’ll gladly become a snitch.”

Shin Dae-seong responded with a positive expression.

“I just need to win two more games of endurance, okay?”

“Will that really happen? Lifting 80kg of rice was too much for my body. If I reduce the weight to 40kg, I will never lose. I will win the rest of the games!”

But what Lee Wan-yong had promised did not happen.

-Thud~.

Even though I was reduced to 40kg, I collapsed first.

-dump!

Even after losing 20 kg, I collapsed without any strength.

“Damn it~ I can’t broadcast anymore because I’m so annoyed.”

It was a perfect defeat without a single win.

Shin Dae-seong asked with a serious face.

“Now tell me who the Untouchable you know is.”

Lee Wan-yong, with his head bowed, answered very briefly.

“Sim Hyeok-su.”

At the same time, the responsible producer next to Kim Han-gyeol started running.

“Detective Kim, find out who Shim Hyuk-soo is quickly.”

Shin Dae-seong asked a staff member nearby.

“Is the PD in charge’s name Shim Hyuk-soo?”

“Yes, but?”

“Hey, sir!”

Kim Han-gyeol hurriedly ran after the running away PD in charge.
