◈Episode 161◈

Descent of a god

The madam of the entertainment establishment stepped forward.

“Please don’t interrupt my business. This isn’t a wedding hall. How could you do something so childish as carrying a baby?”

Shin Dae-seong bowed his head slightly and said,

“This is not obstruction of business. We are investigating an attempted murder case.”

“What are you talking about? Didn’t you just say you were looking for the baby’s father?”

“It’s not clear yet, but it seems like the child’s father ordered the mother and baby to be killed.”

“Oh my, how could you do such a cruel thing… That’s not a human, that’s an animal. No, even an animal wouldn’t do such a thing.”

Kim Han-gyeol stepped forward and struck back.

“That’s what I’m saying. He’s not a real person, trying to kill his own child and wife. It must be one of you here.”

“Really?”

“We’re here to find out. If you cooperate, we won’t tell the press.”

Kim Han-gyeol shook his cell phone gently.

The madam of the entertainment establishment looked back at Son Won-bok, wondering if he had any decision-making authority.

“Do you think such a threat would work? What you just said is highly likely to be illegal.”

“Yeah~ Is it okay to kill the baby and its mother? As of now, you are the most suspicious situation.”

“What, what did you say?”

“The one who tried to kill this baby was Cha Dong-cheol.”

“!”

“That’s the guy you know. Who could give such an order to him, the leader of the Baekdu faction?”

“It’s not me.”

Kim Han-gyeol responded with a sly smile.

“All criminals say that. Why did you want to kill such a cute baby? You don’t want to break up a happy family? Then why don’t you raise her secretly overseas? You have the financial means to do that.”

“You’re mistaken. I have never cheated on my wife.”

“Okay, let’s take it easy. Everyone here, please volunteer your DNA. Then we’ll leave without a hitch. Of course, we’ll wait for the results.”

“excuse me······.”

A middle-aged man with gray hair quietly raised his hand.

“Yes, go ahead.”

“I had a vasectomy 20 years ago. I can’t have children. Can I get out of this?”

“No. How can I believe you? Besides, there are often cases of untied bonds on the news. It would be faster to submit your DNA information than to have a test to see if the vasectomy is perfect.”

Another bar guest raised his hand.

“I have to go back now. I have an appointment with the president······.”

Kim Han-gyeol responded with a happy expression.

“Are you the Kooksoon Party’s Seo Yong-jun? My mother is very close with the Kooksoon Party’s leader. If you go now, detectives from the unsolved cases unit will storm into your office. There will be reporters stationed there, right?”

“What do you want?”

“Would you like to get a clean DNA test?”

“That can’t be done! Just taking a DNA test can be considered an extramarital affair. Otherwise, why would you have taken the test? Absolutely not!”

Kim Han-gyeol asked the other guests.

“Do you guys think the same?”

They nodded silently.

At this, Kim Han-gyeol opened his mouth as if doing a favor.

“Okay! I won’t be doing a formal DNA test. Instead, I’d like you to actively cooperate with the verbal investigation that I’m about to give you.”

“Don’t do that······.”

The guests at the drinking party had no choice but to agree.

Kim Han-gyeol and Shin Dae-seong approached Son Won-bok first.

Shin Dae-seong changed the position of the baby he was carrying on his back to the front.

“Isn’t it so cute?”

“That’s right.”

“Did you order Cha Dong-cheol to kill this child?”

“no.”

“Are you this child’s biological father?”

“no.”

“Do you know a woman named Lee Yeon-hwa? She is believed to be this child’s mother.”

“It’s the first time I’ve heard that name.”

Shin Dae-seong nodded positively, meaning that there was no lie in Son Won-bok’s answer.

-Bam.

Kim Han-gyeol poked Shin Dae-seong in the ribs.

‘The Seonhak Bank branch manager you see there reacted. When the name Lee Yeon-hwa came up, he became horrified.’

‘How can you be so sure that he is the branch manager of Seonhak Bank?’

‘My mom has a lot of money. She’s a regular at Seonhak Bank’s Cheongdam branch, and the branch manager is just like that.’

‘okay.’

Shin Dae-seong turned towards the branch manager.

“Are you nervous?”

A middle-aged man with gray hair was constantly wiping away sweat.

“No······I’m just feeling drunk.”

“What is your name?”

“Here is my business card.”

“Are you really the manager of Seonhak Bank?”

“Really?”

“Oh, there is something like that. Manager Jeong Il-su, do you know a woman named Lee Yeon-hwa?”

Branch Manager Jeong Il-su’s answer was half a beat late.

“I don’t know.”

“What is your relationship with Mr. Son Won-bok here?”

“Chairman Son······is a strategic business partner.”

“It seems like you are on a personal level? You even have regular drinking parties like this.”

“Chairman Son is good at taking care of people. He is famous for having a wide network of connections. I am just one of them.”

“Do you know Cha Dong-cheol?”

“Yes······ Chairman Son brought me out for drinks a few times.”

Shin Dae-seong brought the baby closer.

“That guy tried to kill this kid. Did you try to get him to do it?”

“What are you talking about? I can’t do something that scary. My heart races just thinking about it.”

“But why did you lie?”

“yes?”

“Don’t you know a woman named Lee Yeon-hwa?”

“!”

-Gurr.

Branch Manager Jeong Il-su’s face flushed. Cold sweat continued to flow down his body.

“Would you like to go to the police station and talk? Would you like to tell the truth here?”

“Yes, I will speak here.”

“If this is an uncomfortable topic, would you like me to make a separate room for you?”

The question is, is there anything that would be embarrassing if other people heard it?

“No, if I leave, they will be more suspicious. I’ll just say it here. I was safely deceived.”

“Why?”

“She is a fraud. Her name, age, occupation, family relationships, etc., were all lies.”

Shin Dae-seong blocked the baby’s ears and asked.

“How did you meet?”

“She approached me first. She knew I was crazy about golf.”

“What did Lee Yeon-hwa ultimately want?”

“Honestly, I don’t know. I’ve never asked for anything illegal. So I never suspected anything.”

“How did you know he was a scammer?”

“I have an acquaintance who graduated from Harvard. I heard that Lee Yeon-hwa also graduated from Harvard. When I asked her about her, she said she had no idea about it. I asked my staff to find out, but it was all a lie.”

“Why didn’t you report it to the police?”

“You have to be a victim to report it. On the contrary, I was in a situation where I received a lot of help.”

“How was it helpful?”

Branch Manager Jeong Il-su opened his mouth while wiping away sweat.

“My son lost a lot of money through voice phishing.”

“Are you the bank manager’s son?”

“Yes······ I was so embarrassed that I couldn’t say anything. When I complained to Yeonhwa Lee, she asked me to leave it to her.”

“How?”

“I know someone who is a talented detective.”

“Are you a detective?”

“Yes, I didn’t expect much. But in just a few days, they returned the money I had been scammed out of.”

“Is it really true that she didn’t do any harm?”

Branch Manager Jeong Il-su answered with confidence.

“Yes, that’s right.”

“But why were you surprised when you heard my name earlier?”

“Are you a scammer? I was worried that you might cause a big accident and drag me into it.”

“Did you know that Ms. Lee Yeon-hwa was pregnant? I saw her belly bulging······.”

“It’s been two years since I last saw her. But I doubt if she’s really the child’s mother.”

“Okay, thank you for your cooperation.”

Shin Dae-seong asked Kim Han-gyeol.

“What do you think, Detective Kim?”

“Is it easy to get your money back after being scammed by voice phishing? Absolutely not. It seems like they just took the money and gave it back to you.”

“To win the branch manager’s favor?”

“Yes, that didn’t work. The problem was that the academic qualifications were overly exaggerated.”

“You mean there was no damage? It didn’t feel like a lie.”

“It’s not that you haven’t been affected, it’s that you’ve been affected and don’t even know it.”

Shin Dae-seong nodded positively.

“A fraudster never gives up on a task in the middle. Unless he feels his life is in danger.”

“That’s right, a good con artist can fool others without them even knowing how they were fooled. Didn’t you fall for it too, Detective Shin?”

“I?”

“Isn’t she taking good care of the baby as she intended? It’s the safest embrace in the world.”

“Anyway, Branch Manager Jeong Il-su is not this child’s father.”

Kim Han-gyeol pointed his finger at Rep. Seo Yong-jun and said:

“That person isn’t my father either.”

“Why? You have such a feminine face······.”

“Assemblyman Seo’s wife is a very wealthy person. She comes from a wealthy family. She was caught having an affair? We should pray for her soul immediately.”

“Wouldn’t you try to silence me to stop that?”

“No matter how much Congressman Seo likes women, he would never do something that would get him kicked out by his wife.”

“Then who is this child’s father? Not all of them were powerful people.”

There are now two guests left at the drinking party.

Kim Han-gyeol nodded to them and spoke as if he were prophesying.

“One of them would be a prosecutor or a judge, a figure in the legal profession, and the other would be a high-ranking official from the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport or a journalist.”

“Have you been possessed by a god?”

“The composition of this cartel is obvious. I will definitely find Jisoo’s father.”

Kim Han-gyeol approached them.

“Who is the inspector?”

“I’m going.”

The man with glasses raised his hand.

“How did you know I was a prosecutor?”

“The Unsolved Cases Unit knows everything. Are you related to the baby here?”

“I wish I had a relationship. I’ve been married for 20 years and… I don’t have any kids yet.”

“Is your wife the problem?”

“No, we both have problems. I’m really glad it’s not one person’s problem.”

“I would say absolutely not, sir.”

Then, Kim Han-gyeol looked at the last remaining guest.

“Are you a government official from the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport?”

“How did you know?”

“I’m confused too. I wonder if he really has a divine power. Everything he throws hits him.”

“Please call me Vice President Lim.”

“Yes, Manager Lim, do you know a woman named Lee Yeon-hwa?”

“I don’t know.”

“Are you acquainted with a person named Cha Dong-cheol?”

“I’ve only seen your face a few times here······.”

Kim Han-gyeol conducted a thorough investigation, but achieved no results.

“That’s strange. I definitely got a hunch about it. It definitely has something to do with the drinking party here.”

Shin Dae-seong looked around and asked.

“Detective Kim, where did Madam go?”

Son Won-bok answered on his behalf.

“I went out to get a blanket for the baby. It’s time to come in now.”

“!”

Kim Han-gyeol opened his eyes with a start.

“Detective Shin, isn’t Cha Dong-cheol close to Madam? We were too obsessed with Dad. Madam might ask Cha Dong-cheol to harm the baby.”

-Rumble.

The door opens,

A male waiter came in carrying a blanket.

Kim Han-gyeol asked.

“Where did Madam go?”

“You said you had to go home because something urgent came up. You were leaving in a really hurry, weren’t you?”

“shit!”

Kim Han-gyeol pushed the waiter and went out.

Shin Dae-seong also wanted to chase after him right away, but the baby was the problem.

“Who would be better······.”

Shin Dae-seong looked at the five guests,

“Please take care of me until I get back.”

She left the baby with the childless prosecutor and ran out in a hurry.
