◈Episode 158◈

The smell of the incident

Assistant director Kang Young-jae couldn’t help but feel embarrassed.

The person in the video was clearly himself.

Kim Han-gyeol asked again.

“Who is this man?”

“······.”

When Kang Young-jae closed his mouth, Oh Jeong-ah spoke.

“Anyone can tell that this is an assistant director. You’re even wearing the same clothes… Were you the one who killed PD Kim?”

“It’s not me.”

“So, who is this man in the video?”

“I don’t know about that. Oh, Announcer, you have to trust me.”

Kang Young-jae tried to grab Oh Jeong-ah’s hand.

“Oh my god!”

Oh Jeong-ah was startled and pulled her hand away.

“What are you doing now?”

“PD Kim had no intention of forgiving you!”

“What are you talking about? You have no intention of forgiving me?”

Kang Young-jae said with a sorrowful expression.

“김 PD는 개새끼예요. 오 아나운서님의 이별을 받아들이는 척하면서 복수를 계획했다고요.”

“plural?”

“Oh, you tried to upload the video of your affair with the announcer on the internet!”

“I never filmed anything like that! I’m not some crazy bitch, why would I film something like that?”

“I saw it?”

“what?”

Oh Jeong-ah’s reaction was that it was incredibly absurd.

“How did you see a video that didn’t even exist?”

“PD Kim showed it to me! It’s a video taken while the announcer was sleeping. Her face was also clearly visible.”

“This is nonsense······.”

“PD Kim is that kind of guy. Do you know how embarrassed he was when he uploaded my video on the school bulletin board? Oh Ahn-nim’s video must have been even more shocking.”

Oh Jeong-ah tried not to get excited.

“Did you really watch my video?”

“There was even a mole clearly visible under my chest.”

“PD Kim, you did a great job. Just like that!”

Kim Han-gyeol whispered with a worried expression.

‘Detective Shin, will this pass the broadcast review? There’s a lot of content that’s restricted to 19+.’

‘These days, the news itself is rated R. Crimes seem to be much more brutal than before.’

‘Only brutal crimes are broadcast competitively. That’s how they can increase viewer ratings.’

‘But that guy, are you saying that you killed PD Kim because of Oh Jeong-ah?’

‘I understand why PD Kim’s cell phone went missing. There’s a video of announcer Oh on it. Should I arrest him now?’

‘No, there are still too many mysteries that have not been solved. How can coincidences like this happen over and over again? How did they all try to kill PD Kim on the same day?’

‘Isn’t it a coincidence overlapping the PD?’

Shin Dae-seong thought carefully and said.

“There’s more to this case.”

Shin Dae-seong immediately approached Kang Young-jae and asked.

“How did you know there was poison in Lewis’s tea?”

“I heard her on the phone. I was trying to stop Louis from committing murder.”

“Lies… But it might be useful in a trial. Be honest. Who taught you about Louis’s murder plan?”

“I, I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

“You wouldn’t challenge me… Who is behind this incident? The target is probably the Cold Case Task Force. Are you trying to tell them that there are criminals that even they can’t catch?”

“······.”

Shin Dae-seong asked Louis.

“How did you find out about Dark Market?”

“It’s all on the Internet. I was curious and searched for it. But that was it. But the next day, a person who said he was the seller contacted me first.”

Shin Dae-seong asked Han Su-kyung a similar question.

“The Dark Market doesn’t work on regular computers. How did you find the seller and get the cyanide?”

“I’m similar to Mr. Lewis. I was researching Mark Market through various channels, and they contacted me first.”

“Was it a text? Was it an email?”

“It came by email, but I deleted it now.”

Shin Dae-seong asked Kang Jae-seong.

“Aren’t you the same? You searched the internet to kill Producer Kim, and someone approached you.”

“!”

“No, you’re not denying it?”

Kim Han-gyeol responded cynically.

“I realized that lying doesn’t work on Detective Shin.”

“Now let’s end the fantasy partner program.”

“Can I arrest you?”

“Yeah, arrest him nicely and hand him over to Detective Lee Jun-ki.”

“All right.”

Kim Han-gyeol took out the handcuffs and approached.

“Mr. Kang Jae-young, you are under emergency arrest on charges of murder. You may appoint a lawyer······.”

-Clang.

The moment Kim Han-gyeol was handcuffed,

Kang Young-jae, who had been holding on shamelessly, collapsed.

“Ugh, this is ridiculous. Why do all the girls I liked only like that guy!”

“Tsk, tsk, tsk, you’re being so mean to me all the way… You’re the program manager now. I’ll give you a chance to finish it responsibly.”

Kang Young-jae said in a tearful voice.

“Cut, filming is over······.”

The lights and cameras immediately turned off, and Kim Han-gyeol handed Kang Young-jae over to detective Lee Jun-gi.

* * *

Cloudy sky.

Kim Han-gyeol and Shin Dae-seong came out of the broadcasting station lobby.

“It’s finally stopped snowing.”

“That’s right… It poured down so much and then stopped.”

“I knew it.”

“how?”

“Because I don’t have anything urgent to do. When we’re rushing to catch up on our broadcast time, it starts snowing heavily, but when we get to the broadcasting station, the snow stops as if it never happened.”

“Do you think, Detective Kim, that Heaven is always watching over and harassing Detective Kim?”

“Yes, I think so. Do you know why I don’t take the bus?”

Shin Dae-seong answered with his eyes wide open.

“A taxi is faster than a bus. And the taxi fare isn’t so expensive that I can’t afford it.”

“To me, buses are like gangsters.”

“What does that mean······.”

“The bus I’m waiting for never comes. Then, later, the same bus comes like a thug. I deliberately avoid riding it for the sake of ordinary citizens who use the bus.”

“The interpretation of a dream is better than the dream itself. Well, even from my experience, Detective Kim has no luck at all. The last time I went to a restaurant that I hadn’t been to in a long time, it was closed, right?”

“That’s right, you said you hadn’t had a single day off in 50 years, and it just so happened that you got it on the day we went. There have been worse things in the past.”

“Stop······ When I hear things like that, I feel like I’m getting misfortune too.”

“Detective Shin doesn’t believe in superstitions at all.”

“I don’t think that’s possible if you hang out with Detective Kim.”

“Oh, there’s our car.”

Kim Han-gyeol started walking at a faster pace.

“be careful.”

“Don’t worry.”

As soon as Kim Han-gyeol finished answering,

-Bam.

He fell on the slippery floor.

“I knew it······.”

Shin Dae-seong reached out his hand and helped Kim Han-gyeol up.

“Thank you.”

“Are you hurt anywhere?”

“Do you know what’s positive about living a life of misfortune? People are creatures of adaptation, so they build up their toughness. Just now, I fell off the rope.”

“Okay, let’s get on.”

Kim Han-gyeol and Shin Dae-seong got into the car.

-Brrrrr.

Shin Dae-seong asked Kim Han-gyeol, who was starting the engine.

“What did you talk about with Wolha Fairy earlier?”

“What are you talking about?”

“Before leaving the studio, Moonlight Fairy called Detective Kim and had a serious talk.”

“Just a goodbye. My parents know each other. Let’s meet up often, have a meal together, and so on.”

“No······ The fairy under the moon kept winking at me. Her expression didn’t look good. Doesn’t that mean something bad is going to happen to me?”

-widely!

Kim Han-gyeol suddenly placed his hand on Shin Dae-seong’s shoulder.

“what’s the matter?”

“Trust me. No matter what happens to Detective Shin, I will always be on your side.”

“It makes me even more anxious when Detective Kim says that. What did Wolha Fairy say?”

“I can never say that. Because words can become seeds. Do you not believe in religion? Do you go to temples, churches, or cathedrals?”

“I have no religion and I don’t believe in superstitions, so I just drive well.”

-Brrrrr.

Kim Han-gyeol spoke as he started the car.

“But we just solved a murder case, right?”

“Yeah, it’ll be on TV too.”

“Why does Detective Shin look so unhappy? Actually, are you a little concerned about Wolha Fairy’s horoscope?”

“No, that’s not it. It’s because of the smell of the incident.”

“What are you talking about again?”

“There’s a smell in this incident······.”

Kim Han-gyeol sniffed around for a moment before answering.

“What do you think it smells like?”

“It’s not the car, it’s the case we just solved that smells.”

“What does it smell like?”

“I’m talking about the smell of the Creator and Song Yu-jeong.”

“Why are we talking about those guys here? Haven’t they been quiet for three years? It’s obvious they’ve run off overseas.”

Shin Dae-seong smiled bitterly and shook his head.

“It’s better for a shit dog to stop shitting. They’ll never stop killing. They’ll just want to kill more and more provocatively.”

“Are you saying they might be involved in this incident?”

“It’s similar to their methods in many ways. They even targeted Detective Kim and me.”

“Then I will turn the car to Gangnam 2-seo.”

It was when Kim Han-gyeol was about to change lanes.

-Bang~

A black van drove in, honking its horn.

“Ouch, yuck!”

Kim Han-gyeol hurriedly turned the steering wheel.

I narrowly avoided a collision.

“That crazy kid! He drives like a dog. He doesn’t even say sorry. This is why he drives retaliatory.”

It’s time for Kim Han-gyeol to calm his surprised mind.

“Chase that van.”

“Why? Are you really going to drive in revenge?”

“There were some gangster-like guys riding around with weapons.”

“That’s great. When did you check all that? Are the gangsters on their way to work in a hurry?”

“If it looks suspicious, we should investigate. Don’t use the siren and follow it secretly.”

* * *

A black van entered the dark alley.

Kim Han-gyeol, who had been following him, stopped the car and asked.

“What should I do? Should I go in with you by car?”

“If you follow me now, you’ll be suspected. Let’s get out of the car and walk.”

Immediately they got out of the car and went into the alley.

The accumulated snow did not melt.

The car stopped at the top of the hill before it could go any further.

-Squeak~ Squeak~

No matter how hard I press the accelerator, the wheels just spin.

“Everyone get down!”

Everyone inside the van got out.

As Shin Dae-seong said, he had a gangster-like appearance and was holding a weapon.

“Bring your extension cord and follow me.”

There were ten people who got off the van.

Kim Han-gyeol and Shin Dae-seong hid and watched their actions.

‘How could 10 people of that size fit in it? The van looks pitiful.’

‘Did you ask for support?’

‘Yes, I told them to turn off the siren and approach just in case.’

‘Let’s follow where it’s going.’

Kim Han-gyeol and Shin Dae-seong also followed the gangsters.

‘They won’t let me rest. Why are they even coming in with weapons? It doesn’t seem like they’re competing for my territory.’

‘This is a place I’ve never been before······.’

‘This is my first time in a neighborhood like this. Gangsters need to take care of their physical strength. They’ll probably pass out before they even get in.’

A steep alley covered in snow.

The gangsters kept panting and slipping.

Some people actually vomited because their physical strength could not keep up.

‘Hey, Dilra······.’

Kim Han-gyeol followed him from a certain distance.

The moment you climb a steep hill without falling once,

“!”

Kim Han-gyeol froze in surprise.

“There are churches here?”

“There are churches everywhere in our country······ Let’s go in and follow the gangsters for now.”

“wait a minute!”

Kim Han-gyeol grabbed Shin Dae-seong’s arm urgently.

“Why are you doing that?”

“If support comes, shall we go in together?”

“That’s not like Detective Kim······ Why are you doing this?”

“I don’t feel good.”

“What does it feel like?”

“Actually, it’s because of the warning that Moonlight Fairy gave me. It seems like it would be dangerous for Detective Shin to go in here.”
