Cooperation
Shin Dae-seong walked with Kim Han-gyeol.
“Why would the Creator harm his own child?”
“Did you decide that it could be a weakness? Or, because of the DNA? No, how would I know what that crazy guy is thinking?”
“That’s right, even I, a psychopath, don’t understand······.”
The place they were headed to was the hotel restaurant.
“Do you still remember his face?”
Shin Dae-seong clearly saw the face of the Creator.
“It’ll be harder to forget.”
“Then, wouldn’t the face have changed? If it were me, I would definitely do that.”
“No, the face you showed me was probably fake.”
“Really?”
“He must have put on special makeup. No matter how bold he is, he wouldn’t show his bare face.”
“So that’s why you blocked the public search.”
Shin Dae-seong said as he entered the restaurant.
“It’s not like there was no result at all. The basic facial bone structure cannot be changed.”
“First, sit down like a guest.”
They sat at a table with a panoramic view of the restaurant hall.
“Why did the Creator come in person? He can give orders from afar.”
“It seems like you were feeling uneasy.”
“I now feel that Yeonhwa is more amazing than the Creator. How could she seduce the Creator and even have a baby?”
“for a moment······.”
“Why? Have you found the Creator?”
“No, I found Lee Yeon-hwa. Over there.”
Kim Han-gyeol stared in the direction where Shin Dae-seong was nodding.
A man and a woman were sitting at a table by the window. The woman serving them was Lee Yeon-hwa.
“Should I arrest you?”
“Then the Creator might run away······. Let’s try talking for now.”
“Is it possible to have a normal conversation?”
“Lee Yeon-hwa probably doesn’t want the Creator to find out that she’s here either.”
“I hope so too······ Here you go!”
Kim Han-gyeol quickly raised his hand toward Lee Yeon-hwa.
“!”
Lee Yeon-hwa, who saw this, approached him without showing any sign of surprise.
“What is happening here?”
Shin Dae-seong asked with a smiling face.
“So, what does Ms. Lee Yeon-hwa do here?”
“I······ have something important to do. Please, please pretend you didn’t see me today. Okay?”
“Then, Ms. Lee Yeon-hwa, please help us too.”
“What is it?”
“Is the baby’s father here? The criminal who escaped from Korea, the Creator.”
Lee Yeon-hwa answered honestly, admitting it.
“Yes, that’s right. That’s why I’m here.”
“Would you like to meet the Creator and ask him for a favor? Please tell him not to harm you so that you can live as if you don’t exist in this world?”
“That’s the only way right now.”
Shin Dae-seong answered firmly.
“No, the Creator is not in a normal state. He sees the baby as a curse, not a blessing. If he wants to save the baby, there is only one way: for the police to arrest the Creator.”
“I’d like to do that too, but the child’s father is too dangerous. There’s no telling what the guards might do.”
“How many guards are there?”
“According to my research, six people are protecting the Creator in two shifts. It’s not easy to approach.”
“Will you cooperate with us?”
“Are we going to catch the Creator together?”
“That’s right. With your information and our public authority combined, we can catch the Creator.”
“no, I do not want.”
Lee Yeon-hwa firmly refused.
Kim Han-gyeol asked with a dumbfounded expression.
“Why don’t you want to? We could just arrest you.”
“Arresting the Creator won’t solve the problem. We must kill him.”
“Wow······ That’s too much.”
“I will listen to you.”
“Detective Shin?”
Shin Dae-seong spoke to Lee Yeon-hwa again.
“I will kill him for you.”
“Detective Shin······ I think it’s possible. That bastard brutally murdered my wife, right? Okay, let’s start a joint investigation.”
“Do you have a picture of the Creator?”
“Here it is.”
Lee Yeon-hwa handed over her cell phone.
Kim Han-gyeol asked while looking through the photos on his phone.
“Is this man the Creator?”
“yes that’s right.”
“You don’t have a bare face? A hat and sunglasses, a hat and a mask, a hood pulled down low······.”
“Detective Kim, send those photos to Detective Hwang. Tell him to reconstruct the Creator and his guards based on those photos.”
Kim Han-gyeol tried to call right away, and Lee Yeon-hwa asked Shin Dae-seong quietly.
“How are you, Jisoo?”
“Yes, he is very well. The other detectives are protecting him well. By the way, is your last name Ji and your first name Su? Or is it your first name without the last name?”
“I haven’t given it a last name yet. I’m just going to give it my last name.”
“Lee Ji-soo······ That’s a good name.”
“Do you have any pictures?”
“I don’t even have a cell phone.”
“Wow, I’m honestly shocked. How can you go around without a cell phone? And you’re a detective?”
“It doesn’t matter as long as I stay with Detective Kim.”
“I’m sorry for suddenly leaving Jisoo in your care.”
It was when Shin Dae-seong was smiling faintly.
-Knock knock knock.
Kim Han-gyeol urgently hit Shin Dae-seong on the shoulder.
“At 3 o’clock, a guard appeared. Here, it’s the same one as the one in the photo.”
“It’s the bodyguards… What does the Creator look like?”
“I can’t see it. It looks like he came out alone.”
“Let’s arrest him.”
“Wait a minute? Detective Shin and I, please?”
“If you include Lee Yeon-hwa, there are three.”
“What if I wrap the bomb around it like last time? I’ll wait for support and catch it safely.”
Shin Dae-seong stood up quietly and said.
“Then it’ll be easy to stand out. We should catch that guy secretly and investigate him.”
“Did you just say that we should make an illegal arrest?”
“It’s a matter of public safety. As you said, a bomb with a high level of lethality could explode.”
Shin Dae-seong was already walking towards the royal guard who was alone.
Lee Yeon-hwa, wearing a uniform, said.
“Let me help you.”
“Can you get him towards the emergency exit?”
“That kind of thing is just chewing gum.”
Shin Dae-seong and Kim Han-gyeol walked toward the emergency exit first.
“Will Lee Yeon-hwa help you without betraying you?”
“We have a baby.”
“Oh, I see.”
Not long after, Lee Yeon-hwa brought the bodyguard who was alone.
“!”
The moment he recognized Shin Dae-seong and tried to run away in a hurry, Kim Han-gyeol quickly strangled him with his forearm.
Soon the guards lost consciousness and fell to their knees.
Shin Dae-seong asked Lee Yeon-hwa.
“Is there a place I can lock this guy up?”
“Don’t worry. I have everything ready.”
Lee Yeon-hwa took out the master key and opened the empty room door.
Shin Dae-seong and Kim Han-gyeol quickly moved the unconscious guard inside.
* * *
-Slurp.
The unconscious guards regained consciousness.
He was tied to a chair while three masked men watched him.
“Are you awake? Do you feel nauseous or have a headache?”
“Are you giving me medicine now······Detective Shin Dae-seong, why are you wearing a mask?”
“Don’t get me wrong. I’m not detective Shin Dae-seong.”
“······.”
“We are criminals who punish criminals. We kidnapped you for the purpose of extorting money.”
Kim Han-gyeol said while looking through the guard’s belongings.
“This guy’s name is ‘Ha Jong-nam.’ He’s 27 years old and his address is Seoul.”
“It’s not a fake ID?”
Expert Lee Yeon-hwa looked into it and said:
“No, this is a real resident registration card.”
Kim Han-gyeol looked at something else and let out a surprised exclamation.
“Wow~ I knocked out a guy who was a 4th degree black belt in Taekwondo and also learned Jiu-Jitsu with a choke.”
“Ask where the Creator is.”
“Yes, Detective Shin.”
Kim Han-gyeol looked straight at Ha Jong-nam and asked.
“Where is the Creator?”
“I don’t know.”
Shin Dae-seong immediately judged it.
“It’s true. That guy doesn’t know where the Creator is right now.”
“Are you only telling the guys you’re moving with?”
“That could be the case.”
“You’re really thorough in keeping secrets. Then let’s start by investigating the information about the Royal Guard.”
Kim Han-gyeol turned his head towards Ha Jong-nam again.
“How many of the Creator’s personal guards are there in this hotel? Including you?”
“I don’t know.”
“Don’t you know? I already know······ Isn’t there six?”
“I don’t know.”
“Lies, I don’t think there are exactly six people in the guard.”
“Are there other guys?”
Shin Dae-seong asked Ha Jong-nam directly.
“Listen to my questions and answer truthfully. Are there more than six guards here? Or······ are there fewer than six?”
“······.”
Ha Jong-nam didn’t answer, but Shin Dae-seong found out the truth.
“The response is that there are more than 6 people?”
“!”
“So there are seven guards? Eight? Nine? Or ten?”
“······.”
“Detective Kim, tell Chief Park. There are ten guards in the hotel, four more than the six that Lee Yeon-hwa identified.”
“All right.”
Shin Dae-seong walked behind Ha Jong-nam.
Then she put her hand on his shoulder from behind and asked.
“What kind of weapons does the Royal Guard have? They didn’t come to Korea unprepared, did they?”
“We have prepared a dangerous weapon that will turn the Republic of Korea upside down.”
“Looking at your expression, it doesn’t seem like you’re lying. What on earth is this dangerous weapon that could turn South Korea upside down?”
“Biochemical weapons. Probably causing millions of deaths?”
Kim Han-gyeol shouted with great excitement.
“Are these guys really going to go that far? They’re going to detonate a biochemical weapon in the middle of Seoul?”
“Don’t worry, as long as you don’t touch the Creator, it won’t explode. Of course, you’ll have to let me go too.”
“What should we do, Detective Shin?”
“This guy’s reaction isn’t a lie… But is it really true that he’s installed a biochemical weapon that could kill millions of people? It’s not easy to get hold of something like that, is it?”
“So the Creator lied to the guards? To make them believe in him and follow him?”
“Continued gaslighting isn’t easy. You have to exaggerate to repay their trust.”
Ha Jong-nam suddenly spoke angrily.
“The Creator is not like that! He is a good man who came to correct the corrupt world. Even if the world persecutes the Creator, His will will surely be accomplished.”
Kim Han-gyeol whispered to Shin Dae-seong.
‘The Creator has returned as a cult leader? There’s really no countermeasure for these guys······.’
“Detective Kim, call Detective Hwang right now.”
“All right.”
Detective Kim called her and put her on speakerphone.
-Yes, Detective Kim?
“Detective Hwang, it’s me.”
-Go ahead, Detective Shin.
“Use all channels to find out if any biochemical weapons have been stolen. This is a real emergency.”
-Just a moment······. I’ll contact hackers all over the world. But why do you want me to investigate that?
“The Creator may have brought it to Korea.”
-No way.
“I can’t believe it. I think he’s become a real cult leader. It’s a common trait among those with delusions of grandeur.”
-Oh my god!
Hwang Yeo-ju suddenly burst out in English.
“what’s the matter?”
– It seems that Detective Shin’s ominous prediction was right. A deadly biochemical weapon was stolen from Russia. It is certain that it was done by hacking Russian and American intelligence agencies.
“Detective Hwang, please inform Chief Park right away. This has now become a massive case that puts the lives of all citizens of Seoul at stake.”
