Kim Han-gyeol asked with a bewildered expression.

“Excuse me, are you really the game manager, Lee Wan-yong? Really?”

“Yeah, he’s overly confident. I think he thinks he tricked me.”

“Didn’t that guy almost get shot to death? If Detective Shin hadn’t stopped him, he would have died instantly.”

“Yeah, I would have calculated that I could stop the bullet.”

“I recognized you by your name, but you really are not an ordinary crazy person. Did you put a bullet in your own head to fool Detective Shin?”

“yes.”

“why?”

Shin Dae-seong answered while looking around the small conference room.

“Isn’t it because of the score? If you take risks and succeed, you get a higher score.”

“Wait a minute? So you’re saying that Lee Wan-yong is still playing the game? By tricking Detective Shin and killing him.”

“I think so.”

“Is there such a crazy kid!”

Kim Han-gyeol raised his voice without realizing it.

Amanda, who was inside the conference room right away, shouted.

“What kind of kids are screaming in the hallway?”

Kim Han-gyeol waved his hand while looking at the glass wall.

This angered editor Amanda.

“Catch those guys right now!”

The female employee who was at the entrance immediately jumped out.

-Thud!

“You two, I don’t know which department you are models for, but please come this way for now.”

“Yes, that’s right.”

Shin Dae-seong took the lead and entered the small conference room.

Editor Amanda was very angry. She was glaring at the door with a frown on her face.

When Shin Dae-seong came in,

Her once murderous mood changed.

“Is this a middle-aged model? The style is really nice… It feels classic, yet has personality. Who coordinated this?”

“I chose this and wore it.”

“Your fashion sense is unique. Especially when it comes to suits, it’s hard to break away from a similar feel… I guess you can feel the dynamism in the elegance. You’re much better than celebrity models who are known for their good looks in suits.”

“thank you.”

“Shall we take a quick walk?”

Shin Dae-seong granted Amanda’s request.

“I feel like my eyes are finally being purified. Which department hired this motel?”

“I am not a model.”

“That’s great. From now on, you are Hera’s exclusive model.”

“Isn’t Hera a women’s magazine?”

“Hahaha, is it true that only women appear in a women’s magazine? That’s a bit of a cliché.”

Then Kim Han-gyeol came in,

Director Amanda, who had been feeling relieved, frowned again.

“Why on earth is your fashion like that? Your height, face, and proportions are top-notch. Is that on purpose?”

Kim Han-gyeol made an excuse.

“I put my thorough professional spirit into fashion.”

“Don’t do that! Why are you wearing clothes like that? Just wear what Cody tells you to wear.”

“I can’t do that. My job is incompatible with fashion.”

“What on earth do you do for a living?”

As if he had been waiting for this, Kim Han-gyeol handed over his police identification card.

“This is detective Kim Han-gyeol from the unsolved cases unit of Gangnam Police Station 2. By the way, I wear the clothes that my mother tells me to wear. It’s a kind of rebellious spirit.”

“Somehow, it would be impossible for them to wear such clothes unless it was on purpose. Why are the detectives from the special investigation unit here?”

“Editor Amanda, I’m here to arrest you.”

“Are you arresting me?”

“Yes, you are a member of Untouchable. You are under arrest for assault, criminal organization membership, and criminal organization activities.”

Amanda spoke from her seat in the chair.

“It’s true that I was a member there. I needed something to inspire me. I was just an observer. I didn’t commit any barbaric acts like assault.”

“At first, everyone says that. Can you extend your arm? Let me put on some fashion items.”

The moment Amanda reached out her arm,

-Click.

Kim Han-gyeol put silver handcuffs on her wrists.

The hospital where Lee Wan-yong was admitted.

-Knock knock.

Kim Han-gyeol and Shin Dae-seong opened the door to the hospital room and went in.

Lee Wan-yong’s condition is not good.

He was covered in bruises, as if he had been badly assaulted by someone.

Shin Dae-seong asked while checking his condition.

“What happened?”

“I don’t know······ I went out of the hospital and ended up like this.”

“Why did you leave the hospital?”

“I wanted to smoke a cigarette······.”

“I told you to quit this time.”

Lee Wan-yong replied, caressing his bruised face.

“Is that okay? I was walking around looking for a place to smoke, and I blacked out for a moment. I think I hit my head with something.”

“Wouldn’t it have been dangerous if you had been hit in the head with a straight line?”

“You were lucky. That’s what my doctor said.”

“What were the police doing?”

“That’s what I was asking. Didn’t you say that I have secret agents protecting me?”

“That’s a lie.”

“yes?”

Shin Dae-seong told the truth.

“I lied to you and told you to be at ease. Now it seems like that has turned out to be poisonous.”

Since he knew that Lee Wan-yong was the game manager, he didn’t feel the need for protection.

“What would have happened if I had really died?”

“I’m sorry, it won’t happen again.”

“It’s my first time, so I’ll be patient. And look at this.”

Lee Wan-yong handed Shin Dae-seong a piece of paper.

“What is this?”

“I lost consciousness and woke up to find it in my pocket. It seemed to be a message from the game administrator.”

“Is that so?”

Shin Dae-seong carefully examined the paper he received from Lee Wan-yong.

Kim Han-gyeol also brought his face close.

“Is this a challenge?”

“Does Detective Kim think so too?”

“And you want me and Yi Wan-yong to come alone? It’s very likely a trap by the game manager.”

“But if I miss this opportunity, I won’t be able to find out who the game manager is. Then I won’t be able to catch the guy who killed my wife either······.”

“Revenge is not more important than life. Please ignore this.”

-Buck buck buck buck

Kim Han-gyeol tore up the challenge letter sent by the game manager.

At that moment, Yi Wan-yong shouted in surprise.

“Why are you tearing this up!”

“It’s too one-sided. I don’t like it.”

“Isn’t it Detective Shin who makes the decision?”

Shin Dae-seong also showed a look of discontent.

“This guy is so arrogant. He seems to think that I have to listen to everything he says.”

“That’s what I’m saying.”

“I don’t like it either. I don’t like your rude attitude.”

“Good idea, Detective Shin.”

Lee Wan-yong reacted in a way that made him feel ashamed.

“I almost died trying to get this. Are you just going to ignore it?”

“Yeah, I don’t like the game manager’s attitude······.”

“If you want to catch the culprit who killed your wife, you have to go to that extent.”

“No, my wife wouldn’t want this either.”

“······.”

Shin Dae-seong turned around without any hesitation.

“Detective Kim, we’re not even investigating Editor Amanda.”

“That’s right. The game manager is so clueless. He thinks that Detective Shin can’t move. Don’t bother him if he approaches you again.”

“I think so too. Maybe if he offers fair terms······.”

Gangnam 2nd Police Station investigation room.

Shin Dae-seong asked editor Amanda a question.

“How did you become a member of Untouchable?”

“I was introduced to you when I was in a slump.”

“From who?”

“From the model I had.”

“Could you please write down who that person is here?”

“Of course.”

Editor Amanda wrote her name on the piece of paper Shin Dae-seong handed her.

“I just watched their behavior. I didn’t grade them or do anything to harass them.”

“As far as I know, you have to participate in their crimes to become a member?”

“I wasn’t. Really.”

“You’re not lying. Then······were there any other demands or demands?”

“The game manager said something similar.”

Shin Dae-seong asked with curiosity.

“What exactly did you say?”

“I need you to grant me one favor later.”

“What was it?”

“I don’t know. I got caught before the game manager said anything. I feel better about getting caught by the police.”

“Is there anyone else you know?”

Editor Amanda shook her head and answered.

“No. I only went to one of their meetings. I went there to get some inspiration, but I was shocked. They were all wearing masks, so I couldn’t see their faces.”

“That’s an honest answer. You never lied.”

“Why would I lie? I don’t intend to hire a lethal lawyer to reduce my sentence. I should be punished according to my crime.”

“You are an honest person, aren’t you?”

“That’s right. To be honest, there are even rumors that the devil treats you like an older sister.”

Kim Han-gyeol intervened and asked her.

“How do I feel about my current wardrobe? I made some changes after hearing the editor’s shocking advice last time.”

“It seems my advice wasn’t all that shocking. You have no fashion sense at all. You just wear whatever you want.”

“It’s more shocking than last time······.”

This is when Kim Han-gyeol reacts by saying he is hurt.

-Jiing- Jiing-

His cell phone, which was set to vibrate, rang.

“This number······ is for Lee Wan-yong?”

“Just take it here. I’ll pretend it doesn’t exist.”

“All right.”

-Tick.

Kim Han-gyeol immediately pressed the call button.

“Why are you calling?”

-I lost consciousness again, this time in a hospital.

“Is this the game administrator’s doing?”

-I think so. When I came to, there was something like a challenge card in my pocket again.

Kim Han-gyeol said in a firm voice.

“Throw it away secretly.”

-You didn’t even show it to Detective Shin?

“It’s obvious that they’re setting a trap to lure Detective Shin. It’s better if you don’t know about it.”

-This time it’s not as one-sided as the first time.

“really?”

Lee Wan-yong took a picture of the challenge and sent it via text message.

-Jiying.

Kim Han-gyeol checked the text with Shin Dae-seong. The content was much improved from the first time.

Shin Dae-seong also nodded positively.

“This one seems okay. It seems like the game manager isn’t completely clueless.”

– Of course. He’s a guy who finishes his work perfectly. Will Detective Shin allow it this time?

“Yeah, I’m 100% sure he’ll allow it.”

-Then I guess I should start preparing right away.

“What are you preparing?”

Lee Wan-yong’s reply was a little late.

-I, I also need to move along······ I need to get my body in shape until then.

“Yeah, that’s what you meant. I’ll report to Detective Shin and go. Just wait a moment.”

Kim Han-gyeol finished the call and spoke to Shin Dae-seong.

“It’s a lot of fun because of the spoilers. Lee Wan-yong······ No, it seems like the game manager’s intentions are obvious.”

“I’m also curious to see what kind of traps there will be.”

“I’m also looking forward to seeing how Detective Shin will ‘counter-attack’ that trap.”

Late at night.

A shopping center building in Gyeonggi-do that is about to open.

Shin Dae-seong and Lee Wan-yong walked toward the back door.

The police were not notified.

The door was open, just as the game manager said.

“It looks like this guy prepared a lot?”

“Don’t worry. I will secretly help Detective Shin.”

“thank you.”

“You say all sorts of things.”

Shin Dae-sung and Lee Wang-yong entered the shopping center, which was about to open, smiling.
