◈Episode 162◈

24 hours

-Dadadadadada.

Kim Han-gyeol’s chase has begun.

“Where did you go?”

First, I ran out of the bar.

-Squeak~

The loud screeching noise of tires.

It was the sound of Madame getting into the driver’s seat and starting off suddenly.

“Stand there!”

Kim Han-gyeol gritted his teeth and ran.

The roads were slippery because of the snow. Even the car Madame was driving couldn’t go at its own speed.

Kim Han-gyeol did not miss the opportunity and caught up with the fleeing car.

-Tang tang tang!

Kim Han-gyeol knocked on the roof of the car and shouted.

“Stop the car. Stop the car quickly!”

The madam of the entertainment establishment did not listen to Kim Han-gyeol.

-Brrrrr!

Instead, I was pressing the accelerator pedal harder.

“This is crazy!”

Kim Han-gyeol warned, pounding the Sega car even harder.

-Tang tang tang tang!

“If you don’t stop the car immediately, I will arrest you!”

-Buaaaang~.

Madame increased her speed like crazy.

Then he ended up causing an accident where he hit another vehicle.

-Thud~!

The driver of the car involved in the accident came out holding the back of his neck.

“You’re crazy!”

But Madame didn’t stop the car.

He hurriedly tried to escape the scene and repeatedly hit the car that caused the accident.

-Thump! Thump! Thump~!

“Hey, you crazy bitch!”

The driver who was involved in the accident got out of the car and started taking videos.

Kim Han-gyeol tried his best to stop Madame’s rampage.

-Tang tang tang tang!

“Madam, stop! Stop!”

Kim Han-gyeol’s cries had no effect at all.

Madame, who was wearing sunglasses and a car with dark tint,

-Buaang~

-bang!

It went straight, collided, backed up, then went straight again and backed out.

“Totally reckless, can’t even drive!”

Anyone else would have gotten away long ago, but the madam at the entertainment establishment kept coming back to the same spot no matter how many times she tried.

Shin Dae-seong, who arrived late, asked.

“Detective Kim, what are you doing?”

“They say ignorance is bliss, but he keeps doing that. He doesn’t even get out of his car, and he can’t even get out of that wide space. Could he be driving without a license or drunk?”

“They’re both dangerous. You won’t just die alone, but you could also take the lives of others.”

Shin Dae-seong looked around.

The flower pots I received at the opening ceremony that had dried up and died immediately caught my eye.

-Ugh.

Shin Dae-seong picked up a flower pot. It was a flower pot that was growing a long orchid.

“Detective Shin, what are you going to do?”

“We have to stop that woman before she causes a major accident!”

-Hwaak.

Shin Dae-seong threw a flower pot at Madam’s car like a pitcher.

-Crisp!

It hit the car trunk and broke a flower pot.

At that moment, the madam was startled and stopped the car.

But this is only for a moment.

-Buaang~

-bang!

The madam of the entertainment establishment repeated the straight line and collision again.

“Detective Kim, help me.”

“Wow, are you really going to throw that?”

“I can’t let that woman run away.”

Kim Han-gyeol helped Shin Dae-seong lift a heavy flowerpot. It was a dead tree that looked like a palm tree.

They exchanged signals with their eyes and ran.

“Come on, come on, come on!”

Kim Han-gyeol let out a strange scream.

It looked like he was going to hit the car with incredible force.

“Ha, surrender!”

Only then did the madam of the entertainment establishment get out of the car in surprise.

“Stop~.”

Kim Han-gyeol and Shin Dae-seong were able to stop the collision with the vehicle.

“Arrest him.”

Kim Han-gyeol put down the flower pot and took out the handcuffs.

“Madam, you are under arrest for obstruction of official duties.”

-Clang!

Kim Han-gyeol, who had just finished his arrest, suddenly asked as if he had remembered something.

“What about the baby?”

“Don’t worry. I’ll be fine.”

* * *

Gangnam 2nd Police Station investigation room.

We laid a soft mat on the floor for the baby.

The toys and dolls brought by the detectives also began to increase one by one.

“Crrr······.”

The baby, who bursts into innocent laughter, plays well without crying because he has a lot of energy.

Kim Han-gyeol nodded his head as if he was sure.

“That kid will grow up to be a police officer. How can he play so well in a place where he investigates criminals?”

“When did you say you were going to become a singer?”

“A popular singer and a police officer aren’t bad either. I can picture him catching criminals and singing at concerts. I’ll probably cry in front of my fans later and say, “I’m here because of Detective Shin Dae-seong and Detective Kim Han-gyeol······.”

“I have to get to work now. Stop imagining.”

Kim Han-gyeol asked the madam of the entertainment establishment.

“What is your name?”

“This is Park Min-kyung······.”

“Are you sure you have a driver’s license?”

“Yes······ I’m a regular 2nd class driver. Usually, the youngest one in the business is the driver, so I’m not very good at driving.”

“It’s also clear that you intended to kill the baby. You were not good at killing, so you asked the expert, Cha Dong-cheol, to do it for you, right?”

“······.”

“Why would you kill that baby? You owed me money, and you weren’t in a position to harm me.”

“······.”

Park Min-kyung kept her mouth shut and lowered her head.

“The right to remain silent is tantamount to admitting guilt. Since you attempted to kill the baby, the baby’s mother, and the pastor, you will be charged with three counts of attempted murder.”

“I didn’t tell you to kill me.”

Kim Han-gyeol brought his body closer and asked.

“Then what exactly did you say to Cha Dong-cheol? There’s no need to blame him for a crime he didn’t commit.”

“I told you to just catch Lee Yeon-hwa. No matter the means or method. I didn’t even know that woman was carrying a baby.”

“But why did Cha Dong-cheol try to bury the baby and the pastor? It seemed like he was given an order by someone he could never disobey.”

“I don’t understand that either. You just had to bring Yeonhwa, so why did you try to kill the baby and the pastor? I never told you to kill or harm anyone!”

“What is your relationship with Ms. Lee Yeon-hwa?”

Park Min-kyung paused for a moment before opening her mouth.

“We are school classmates.”

“What school?”

“Prison cell······ siblings.”

“Are you saying that Lee Yeon-hwa has a criminal record?”

“Yes, we were in Seoul Southern Prison together. I was there because of violence, and Yeonhwa was probably a fraud.”

Kim Han-gyeol glanced at the baby on the floor of the investigation room and asked.

‘Is that baby’s mother Lee Yeon-hwa?’

Park Mi-kyung also answered in a lowered voice.

‘That’s probably true. She said she met the man of her dreams.’

‘Who is that man?’

‘I don’t know that either. She didn’t tell me who Yeonhwa was. She said it was for my sake, and she was right.’

‘Why?’

‘When Yeon-hwa disappeared, I got a call from someone asking me where Yeon-hwa was.’

Kim Han-gyeol and Park Mi-kyung talked with their faces close to each other.

‘So what did you do?’

‘I told you not to talk nonsense. At first, I didn’t realize how scary a person he was.’

‘What was the man’s voice like? Could you guess his age, or was there anything special about it?’

‘He was in his 40s or 50s. He threatened me in a very calm voice.’

‘Would you do such a favor under duress?’

‘I’m on the verge of death, what can I do? That guy knew the weakness I was afraid of.’

* * *

The special task force for unsolved cases moved urgently.

Hwang Yeo-ju spoke, typing on the keyboard at a bewitching speed.

“I found Park Mi-kyung’s cellmates at Seoul Southern Prison. Lee Yeon-hwa is there. She changed her name to ‘Lee Sia’ after her release.”

Inspector Kang Tae-gyu also found useful information.

“It seems that Lee Yeon-hwa became pregnant in the United States and gave birth in Korea. Her current address is unknown.”

Manager Park Dong-hee urged.

“Any information on the man believed to be the baby’s father?”

“As of now, these five are the most likely candidates. They are Asian men in their 40s and 50s.”

Hwang Yeo-ju displayed the data on a large TV screen.

There were photos of five men she had selected, along with brief personal details.

“Three are currently in the United States, and two have returned to Korea.”

“The men currently in Korea are Lee Seok-jun and Oh Il-guk······. Team Leader Choi is taking Detective Seo to take care of Lee Seok-jun.”

“All right.”

“Detective Shin is taking Detective Bang with him to take charge of the oil department.”

“Okay, sir.”

“The three people in the US are······ Inspector Kang?”

“Yes, sir.”

“Can you use your connections to find out where they are? Send the local police to check for them yourself.”

“It’s possible. I’ll call you right away.”

-Rumble.

The office door opened, and Kim Han-gyeol and Shin Dae-seong came in.

Kim Han-gyeol said while looking at the TV screen.

“Are these the men who are presumed to be the child’s father?”

The longest-serving team leader answered as he went out.

“Yes, we are on our way to Korea to investigate two people.”

Shin Dae-seong asked Hwang Yeo-ju.

“I think Park Mi-kyung has a weakness for someone. Did you find out what it is? I tried to say something, but my mouth was completely shut.”

“Park Mi-kyung has so many weaknesses? Violence, fraud, prostitution, gambling, and even drugs······.”

“You did drugs too? It’s not on your criminal record.”

“It seems like the celebrities who came as guests were blown away and released on their own.”

“Is there anything else?”

“This is my guess······ When things were going well, there was a one-year hiatus. Could it be that she gave birth to a child?”

“That makes sense. Isn’t that why Lee Yeon-hwa approached Park Mi-kyung? She wanted to secretly give birth to a child and raise it.”

Kim Han-gyeol intervened and said.

“What if the mastermind had taken Park Mi-kyung’s child hostage and threatened her? Of course, he would have tried to find Lee Yeon-hwa by any means necessary. He asked his friend Cha Dong-cheol to do it.”

“But why did Cha Dong-cheol try to kill everyone?”

“Could it be that Park Mi-kyung’s child’s father is Cha Dong-cheol? Did he do something like that to save his own child?”

“Well······ Cha Dong-cheol is not the type to sacrifice for his children. No matter what, he puts himself first.”

Hwang Yeo-ju said.

“Detective Shin is right. Park Mi-kyung’s child has nothing to do with Cha Dong-cheol.”

“How can you be sure of that?”

“I checked Park Mi-kyung’s cell phone. There are a lot of pictures of a little girl in the secret folder. She is currently attending a daycare center in Gangnam.”

“How do you know she’s not Cha Dong-cheol’s daughter?”

“It was a simple blood type test. I called the daycare and found out the children’s blood types. Cha Dong-cheol is AB type, and the girl is O type.”

“Aha~”

Shin Dae-seong’s expression became complicated.

“Now it’s back to square one······.”

“No! Detective Shin said something important a little while ago.”

“what?”

“Cha Dong-cheol, he’s not the type to sacrifice himself for someone. If that’s the case, then the perpetrator directly threatened Cha Dong-cheol. It overlaps perfectly with Park Mi-kyung’s request.”

Shin Dae-seong’s reaction is that he has realized something.

“Right, then I understand Cha Dong-cheol’s contradictory behavior. Cha Dong-cheol, where is he now?”

“Aren’t you in the investigation room?”

Manager Park Dong-hee said as he passed by.

“I told you to get him in the car and take him to the hospital.”

“Who is it?”

“I heard that Senior Shin requested that?”

“!”

-Suddenly.

Kim Han-gyeol and Shin Dae-seong started running at the same time.

* * *

There was a police van parked near the entrance to the main building.

-Knock knock.

Kim Han-gyeol and Shin Dae-seong quickly opened the door and went up.

Cha Dong-cheol’s condition is not good.

He was motionless, his head tilted back.

“It looks like it’s already happened······.”

It was when Kim Han-gyeol put his finger to Cha Dong-cheol’s nose.

-Flash!

Cha Dong-cheol opened his eyes and looked at Kim Han-gyeol.

“What are you doing?”

“What a surprise… I thought you were dead, but you weren’t?”

“Why am I dying?”

Kim Han-gyeol asked while checking Cha Dong-cheol’s condition,

“Is everything okay?”

“What have you been talking about since a while ago?”

“If it’s okay, then that’s fine.”

“But······what is this?”

Cha Dong-cheol was holding something like a switch in his hand.

“No! Never press it.”

Shin Dae-seong shouted in a hurry, but it was too late.

-Click.

Cha Dong-cheol pressed the switch without thinking.

“Hey, shit!”

A swear word burst out of the young Shin Dae-seong’s mouth.

Because the time bomb installed in the car went off.
