◈Episode 166◈

Taming magic

Director Lim and Shin Dae-seong of the National Intelligence Service had a conversation.

“Do you think Detective Kim Han-gyeol can do a good job?”

“You have to believe. I have no doubt that I will do well.”

“The crimes committed by the Creator, Song Yoo-jung, and the nine members of the royal guard have been confirmed. They can be arrested and investigated at any time.”

“The Creator wouldn’t have caught him like that. There must be some kind of countermeasure. It’s most likely a biochemical weapon.”

“The country has raised the Creator’s risk rating to the highest level.”

Shin Dae-seong knew what those words meant.

“Are you saying that they can kill you at any time?”

“I didn’t want to say that to Detective Shin. I recommend capturing him alive if possible.”

“I would like to do that, but I don’t know if the Creator would listen to me.”

“Detective Shin used to not be a person easily swayed by emotions, but he seems to have changed since his release.”

“People say you’ve become more humane?”

“I want a rational detective like before. That way I can put him in charge of this operation.”

Manager Park Dong-hee heard their conversation and asked.

“Did you two know each other before?”

Shin Dae-seong answered with a smile.

“Yeah, I was with the National Security Working Group.”

“What is that North Korean-sounding name······.”

“It’s called in when there’s a national emergency, like a terrorist attack, and it’s a gathering of experts in charge of the actual work.”

“When were you drafted for something like that?”

“I went to a lot of support centers. Do you remember?”

“That’s true. Because his skills were so outstanding.”

“Among them was the National Security Working Committee that I mentioned earlier. I didn’t mention it because it had to be kept secret.”

Director Lim of the National Intelligence Service said.

“Detective Shin’s investigative skills are outstanding. The country cannot afford to leave someone like him alone.”

“When Senior Shin was unjustly sent to prison, they just left him alone.”

“······.”

Manager Park Dong-hee looked at Manager Lim and said.

“That’s just it. I’m asking you to treat me according to your abilities, Detective Shin. What I mean is, if the Creator were to threaten you with a biochemical weapon right now, how would you respond?”

“Ah, that’s······.”

“Honestly, there was no plan at all. Since it was Senior Shin, it was put into action right away. Even if something goes wrong, Senior Shin is not responsible.”

“Don’t worry. I’m not where I used to be. I’ll do my best to make sure that Detective Shin doesn’t get into trouble.”

Team leader Hwang Yeo-ju approached Shin Dae-seong.

“Detective Shin, over here.”

“what?”

“This is information on stolen biochemical weapons.”

“thank you.”

Manager Lim was surprised and asked Yeoju Hwang.

“Where did you get this?”

“I found this with the help of my friends?”

“This is a top secret document from Russia that we have not received.”

“So? Should I throw it away?”

“No, thank you for your hard work.”

Manager Lim and Shin Dae-seong examined the top secret document she had handed over.

“Detective Shin. This could destroy the world. It’s nothing compared to the damage caused by the previous Corona.”

“It was something the Creator was after.”

“Did you really want to become the creator?”

“Even crazy people evolve. Now he has become a real cult leader. Now it will be even more impossible to have a normal conversation.”

“The danger is increasing. Should we arrest him immediately once we know his whereabouts?”

“That would be the most dangerous.”

“Then what should we do?”

Shin Dae-seong saw the CCTV footage of Kim Han-gyeol and Song Yu-jeong.

“Now we need to get information about the Creator through Song Yoo-jung and spread our fake information.”

“What is misinformation?”

“I’ll tell you about that later.”

“Okay, but is Detective Kim doing a good job?”

“You’re doing better than I expected.”

Kim Han-gyeol asked Song Yu-jeong.

“What does a consulting firm do?”

“Our ‘J&J Consulting’ provides consulting on corporate strategies, mergers and acquisitions, etc. We have offices in 40 countries around the world.”

“Wow, you’re doing something very difficult.”

Song Yu-jeong asked Kim Han-gyeol.

“What kind of work does Mr. Kim Han-gyeol do as a civil servant?”

“What does it look like you’re doing?”

“Well······ I don’t feel like a civil servant.”

“Hahaha, I hear that a lot. They say I’m suited for the entertainment industry, but I’m a police officer. I’m a detective in the minor incidents unit.”

“Oh my, really? What brings you here? Is there anyone I should arrest······.”

“It’s a personal matter.”

“Can I ask what it is?”

“Of course. First, I have something to tell you. My mother is actress Kim Hye-ran.”

“Oh my, really?”

Song Yoo-jung was surprised as if she was hearing it for the first time.

Kim Han-gyeol said, enduring her abomination.

“This year marks the 40th anniversary of my mother’s debut. I can’t just let it pass, so I’m planning an event at this very hotel.”

“Don’t the planning company do that?”

“It’s a private event, separate from the one held by the agency. I’m doing it without telling my mom. I’m going to invite only her acquaintances and keep it small.”

“Can Ms. Kim Hye-ran’s event be small?”

“Yes, at least. There are more than a hundred people. They are trying to avoid the media and do it quietly.”

-Tiring, tiring~

Shin Dae-seong answered the phone.

“Yes, Detective Shin.”

“!”

Song Yu-jeong showed a hostile expression for a moment.

“I am at a premium hotel now.”

-Because of your mother’s 40th anniversary event?

“Yes, it’s not easy to show filial piety after such a long time. It turns out that I can’t just rent a hotel event room.”

-Can you help me?

“Of course, Detective Shin, you have to help me. The entire unsolved case team will be mobilized as well.”

-I’ll go around dinner time.

“Why are you so late?”

-Because of the baby······.

“Ah, Jisoo. Are you really going to raise that child?”

-I’ll take care of you while your mom gets home.

“Okay, come as soon as you can. I have a lot of work to do without your mom knowing.”

-Okay, I’ll go as fast as I can.

Kim Han-gyeol said to Song Yu-jeong after finishing the call.

“He is the detective I respect the most. He is the symbol of indomitable spirit. He is also my partner.”

“Raising a baby? What do you mean?”

Kim Han-gyeol spoke in a lowered voice.

“This is a secret······ A woman ran away after leaving her baby with Detective Shin.”

“Really?”

“Detective Shin is looking after that child.”

“Can’t we just leave him at a child protection center?”

“Detective Shin won’t tolerate that. He thinks someone is after the baby and has requested special protection.”

“Special security?”

“The police special forces are protecting the baby 24 hours a day. It’s the safest place in Seoul.”

“okay.”

Kim Han-gyeol asked Song Yu-jeong, observing her expression.

“Let’s meet again for dinner. I want to pay for spilling the coffee.”

“Yes, please. Here is my business card.”

“Your business card is written in English······ This is my business card.”

It was when Song Yu-jeong and Kim Han-gyeol were exchanging business cards.

-Tiring, tiring, tiring.

Song Yu-jeong’s cell phone rang.

“wait a minute······.”

She talked to Kim Han-gyeol while walking away from him.

“Yeah, it’s me······ What? Ha Jong-nam can’t be reached?”

This is the bodyguard that Shin Dae-seong and Kim Han-gyeol captured.

“Okay, I’ll pay and go right away.”

Song Yu-jeong said to Kim Han-gyeol after finishing the call.

“I have to go first because something urgent came up.”

“I guess there’s nothing I can do. I’ll contact you in the evening. Would you like to have a meal together?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

As Song Yu-jeong moved away, Kim Han-gyeol quickly pressed the call button.

* * *

Premium hotel suite.

-Dong dong dong dong, dong dong dong dong······.

Team leader Choi Jang-su answered the phone.

“Yes, Detective Kim.”

-Song Yu-jeong left the place in a hurry.

“We were watching too. It looks like he got a call and moved. Do you know what happened?”

-Maybe it’s because of the guards we caught.

“Are you talking about Ha Jong-nam?”

-Yes. That guy’s name came out of Song Yu-jeong’s mouth.

“Okay, hang up.”

Team leader Choi Jang-soo finished the call and spoke to Shin Dae-sung.

“I think Song Yu-jeong noticed that Ha Jong-nam disappeared. What should I do?”

“What should I do? I have to bring that guy back.”

“How can we trust him? If he blows the whistle on us, this operation is over.”

Shin Dae-seong asked Director Lim of the National Intelligence Service.

“Are you ready?”

“Even if it doesn’t work out, we have to prepare.”

Chief Lim of the National Intelligence Service gave orders to the agents outside.

“Bring him here.”

“Okay, sir.”

After a while.

-dripping.

The door opened with a formal knock.

And then the National Intelligence Service agents brought Ha Jong-nam in.

“I should say hello.”

Ha Jong-nam immediately bowed his head and greeted them.

He looks much more docile than when he was first caught.

“I’m sorry. I will never do bad things again and I will live a good life. I will do whatever you tell me to do. I really do, please believe me.”

Team leader Choi Jang-su asked Shin Dae-seong.

‘What did the NIS do to that guy?’

‘I don’t know either. I don’t want to know. When Manager Lim comes out, everyone becomes quiet.’

‘That person was a scary person too.’

Director Lim of the National Intelligence Service put his arm around Ha Jong-nam’s shoulder and said.

“You will listen to what I say, right?”

“Well, then······.”

“My family lives in Seoul. My daughter in particular is the most beautiful and lovely girl in the world. Nothing should happen to my daughter because of biochemical weapons.”

Ha Jong-nam answered with a frightened expression.

“That, that will never happen.”

“That’s right, that can’t happen. I need your help to do that.”

“Just speak.”

“Go back and never tell anyone that we met. And make sure you find out where the biochemical weapon is hidden.”

“All right.”

It was the time when Ha Jong-nam answered politely.

-Rumble.

Kim Han-gyeol opened the suite door and came in.

“Song Yu-jeong is looking for Ha Jong-nam.”

“know······.”

Shin Dae-seong responded and gestured to Ha Jong-nam.

“Why are you so quiet?”

“Manager Lim worked his magic.”

“Is this training magic······ It looks like the military is in full force.”

“You don’t have to worry about him anymore. How is Song Yu-jeong?”

“What is it?”

“Do you think you 100% believe what Detective Kim says?”

Shin Dae-seong answered, plopping down on the sofa.

“I think I believe it quite a bit, even if it’s not 100%. I’m sure I didn’t approach it intentionally.”

“When are we going to meet again?”

“I will contact you in the evening and we will meet up.”

* * *

Restaurants near premium hotels.

Kim Han-gyeol sat in the reserved seat and waited for Song Yu-jeong.

The time I was supposed to meet her was 6pm.

It was when Kim Han-gyeol was checking his wristwatch.

Song Yu-jeong entered the restaurant.

But she is not alone.

He approached Kim Han-gyeol’s seat with a middle-aged man wearing a fancy suit.

“Am I late?”

“No, you arrived right on time. But who came with you······.”

“Oh, this is my boss. He is the head of the Korean branch of J&J Consulting.”

“Is that so?”

“I’m also a huge fan of Hye-ran Kim. That’s why I came with you.”

Kim Han-gyeol’s instincts were triggered.

‘This guy is the Creator······.’
