Solution

The Creator first asked to shake hands with Kim Han-gyeol.

“This is Kang Han-guk, the head of the J&J Consulting Korea branch.”

Kim Han-gyeol faced him, hiding his embarrassment.

“Nice to meet you. I am detective Kim Han-gyeol from the Unsolved Cases Unit.”

“I am a huge fan of actress Kim Hye-ran. I heard that Grace met actress Kim Hye-ran’s son, so I came here despite my rudeness. Is that okay?”

“Haha, since you’re here, what can you do······Why don’t you sit down?”

Kim Han-gyeol’s mind became so complicated that it felt like it was going to explode.

‘Why did the Creator come here? Did he follow me because he was suspicious of me? Or are you really my mother’s biggest fan?’

The Creator asked Kim Han-gyeol.

“I heard you’re preparing for your mother’s 40th debut anniversary event.”

“Yes, I want to show my filial piety as a son. I’m planning a surprise event without telling my mother.”

“Is there anything I can help you with?”

“No, it’s okay. I’m receiving full support from the special task force for unsolved cases. My mother has been a police public relations ambassador for 20 years, so the main office is also sparing no support.”

“If you need my help at any time, please let me know.”

“Yes, that’s right.”

Kim Han-gyeol asked Song Yu-jeong right away.

“Have you resolved your urgent matter?”

“Yes, I think there was a bit of a misunderstanding.”

“I’m glad it worked out well, I’m in a complicated situation right now.”

Song Yu-jeong asked with an interested expression.

“What’s going on? Is it because of the baby you suddenly had to take care of?”

“That’s a little bit too. Oh my goodness, the person who tried to kill that baby was the father. Can you believe it?”

“Oh my······.”

“I don’t really want to see the dog’s face, my dog ​​is terrible.”

Even in the face of Kim Han-gyeol’s curse, the Creator’s expression did not change.

Song Yu-jeong asked again.

“What else is there besides that?”

“Detective Shin is hiding something, but I don’t know what.”

“Are you Detective Kim’s partner?”

“Yes, we have nothing to hide, right? But something has been strange lately. This is the only case.”

“What is it?”

“Creator.”

Song Yoo-jung responded that this was her first time hearing it.

“Is it a religious issue?”

“No, the Creator is the worst criminal in our country. He’s a very scary guy. He brutally murdered Detective Shin’s wife, and he framed Detective Shin, causing him to spend 20 years in prison without justice.”

“Oh my god······.”

“I think Detective Shin got some information, but he’s not talking. Oh, I spoke of useless things.”

Kim Han-gyeol completed his mission successfully.

The conversation ended on a note that aroused Song Yu-jeong’s curiosity.

“What would you like to eat?”

This is when Kim Han-gyeol hands the menu to Song Yu-jeong.

“Is there a seat for me too?”

Kim Han-gyeol was startled and jumped up.

“Hey, Detective Shin!”

“Why are you so surprised?”

Because Shin Dae-seong’s appearance today was not planned.

“What brings you here?”

“Detective Kim asked me to help him with his mother’s work.”

“So, didn’t you decide to meet up late after dinner?”

Shin Dae-seong said as he sat down next to Kim Han-gyeol.

“I finished work earlier than I expected. I knew Detective Kim was here because I heard him make a reservation on his cell phone.”

“okay.”

“I thought Detective Kim came to see his girlfriend, but there were other guests with him?”

Kim Han-gyeol introduced him to Shin Dae-seong.

“This is my new girlfriend. This person is my girlfriend’s boss. He’s also my mother’s fan.”

Shin Dae-seong extended his hand and greeted me.

“I am detective Shin Dae-seong from the unsolved cases unit. I am detective Kim’s partner here.”

“I’ve heard a lot about you. My name is Grace.”

“Do you like the name?”

“Really?”

“There’s a novel called Grace by Margaret Atwood. The main character in it is a real person from 19th century Canada. She’s a female criminal named Grace Mask. Sorry, I’m a detective so that’s the only way I can think.”

“It’s okay. I like people who are loyal to their jobs.”

The Creator also greeted Shin Dae-seong.

“I am Kang Han-guk, the head of the J&J Consulting Korea branch. I am also an uninvited guest here. I am a fan of actress Kim Hye-ran.”

“Where have I seen your face before?”

“No way. I’ve never been to a police station. The only violation I’ve ever had was a parking ticket. And that was 20 years ago.”

“It’s an occupational disease, so please understand.”

They sat down again.

The atmosphere continued with a strange sense of tension.

Shin Dae-seong asked the Creator.

“Are you married?”

“No, I’m still single.”

“What about babies? Can’t you have babies without getting married?”

“doesn’t exist.”

A faint smile spread across Shin Dae-seong’s face.

“I have a lot of worries these days. Can I get some consulting?”

“Our company provides consulting on corporate strategy, mergers and acquisitions, etc.”

“I want to destroy a company.”

“What kind of company is it?”

“This is a bad company that should be eliminated from society. The CEO there is a total idiot. He wants to be above the law.”

“This is my area of ​​expertise. I’ll explain the solution step by step while we eat.”

“I’ll pay for your meal today with the solution fee. Enjoy something delicious and expensive.”

* * *

Kim Han-gyeol didn’t feel well even after eating expensive food.

‘I can’t digest anything because of the tense atmosphere! It feels like we’re aiming guns at each other while eating······.’

He quickly looked around the seat next to him.

The Creator’s personal guard sat three at each table.

‘That 007 bag looks suspicious.’

It could have contained an explosive or a biological weapon. If it exploded here, it would cause massive casualties.

‘The Creator has already burst it enough······.’

Song Yu-jeong called him.

“Detective Kim?”

“Yes, go ahead.”

“It was so quiet that I called out.”

“Detective Shin and Chief Kang are talking so seriously that I can’t intervene.”

“Don’t worry about it, let’s just talk amongst ourselves.”

“Is that so?”

Song Yu-jeong asked first.

“Detective Kim, what did you like about me?”

“I loved everything about it. The moment I saw Grace, I knew I had finally found my other half.”

“You’re really good at lying?”

“You’re absolutely right! I’ve been called a womanizer, but I’ve dated all the women with sincerity.”

“I like that answer.”

The heated conversation between Shin Dae-seong and the Creator has ended.

“It was a solution that I really liked.”

“I’m glad that Detective Shin is satisfied.”

-Ting.

They even toasted with wine.

-Ugh.

The Creator looked at his watch and got up.

“I have to get up now. I have another engagement.”

Shin Dae-seong stood up and said.

“You work late?”

“I have no choice if I have to eat and live.”

Song Yu-jeong immediately got up.

“I had a great time today, Detective Kim.”

“Will Ms. Grace go too?”

“I have no choice if I have to eat and survive.”

“Ah~ Office workers are so sad······.”

The Creator and Song Yu-jeong said their goodbyes and left. Soon after, the guards also began to leave.

-dump!

Kim Han-gyeol said as he sat down.

“Why did you come without notice?”

“Because the Creator suddenly appeared······.”

“Are you sure that guy is the real creator?”

“Yeah, that’s right. He probably came to check if Detective Kim approached him on purpose.”

“Now that Detective Shin is here, wouldn’t we be more certain?”

“That doesn’t matter. My purpose is to confuse the Creator. That way, he won’t act recklessly.”

Kim Han-gyeol gulped down the wine on the table.

“Even though Detective Shin was satisfied, my heart sank. Could the 007 bag the SS are carrying contain a biochemical weapon?”

“Yeah, that’s right.”

“How can you be so sure?”

“Because I went into the Creator’s head and came out······.”

“Oh~ Are you finally done understanding that guy?”

“The grasp was done a long time ago, there was just one thing that was holding it back.”

“What is that?”

“I still can’t figure out why he tried to kill his own daughter.”

“But what about that 007 bag? If the Creator wanted, wouldn’t Seoul be destroyed?”

Shin Dae-seong gathered his thoughts and answered.

“If it’s the Creator, then it’s possible. He probably came back to Korea on purpose. He probably wouldn’t use it just to prevent arrest.”

“Then wouldn’t it be better to arrest him quickly?”

“That’s the stupidest idea. The Creator is waiting for an excuse to use a bio-bomb.”

-Tiring~ Tiring~

Kim Han-gyeol checked the caller ID and answered the phone.

“Yes, sir.”

-The National Intelligence Service has started to move.

Kim Han-gyeol switched to speakerphone and spoke.

“What are you talking about? The National Intelligence Service is moving?”

-Manager Lim was on the phone with his superiors. It seems he reported that the Creator had appeared.

“So?”

-I guess he ordered the arrest of the Creator from above. He might suddenly disappear again.

“It won’t work!”

– That’s what Manager Lim said too. But you know what the organizational world is like. You have no choice but to act when you receive orders from above.

Shin Dae-seong asked Manager Park Dong-hee.

“Where are the Creator’s party moving to?”

-The direction I’m walking now is······ toward the subway. If the Creator were to detonate a biochemical bomb, it would be the worst place to be.

“That’s right, the Creator is aiming for that and moving on the subway.”

-If the arrest operation fails, there will be massive casualties.

Shin Dae-seong picked up his wine glass again.

“Let’s pray.”

-yes?

“The decision has already been made at the highest level. It’s not something we can step in and stop.”

-If this happens, won’t Detective Shin’s entire plan go down the drain?

“I once thought this would happen. They’d cause a huge accident and ask me to clean it up.”

-Bam.

Shin Dae-seong drank the remaining wine in one gulp.

* * *

Inside a crowded subway.

The Creator and Song Yu-jeong moved under the protection of the royal guard.

“Chief, did Detective Kim approach me on purpose? If so, does that mean he knows who I am?”

“well······.”

“Since even Detective Shin Dae-seong is here, isn’t it certain?”

“I’m more confused because of that. If they knew our true identities, would they have revealed themselves like that?”

“That’s what’s scary about Detective Shin Dae-seong. He sees through the hearts of people like us. When I was being interrogated by him, I even felt like he was inside my head.”

“Anyway, it would be better to refrain from taking hasty actions.”

When the subway stopped, the Creator’s party got off.

The Creator spoke to Song Yu-jeong as he climbed the stairs.

“It seems my prediction was wrong.”

“What are you talking about?”

“Detective Kim approached us on purpose. Detective Shin must have known our true identities and made us do it.”

“How did you know?”

“You’re being followed.”

“!”

The Creator said as he headed towards the subway turnstile.

“Don’t worry about it. Just do as I say.”

“All right.”

That’s when they came out of the turnstile and walked towards the exit.

The Creator stopped and turned around.

“Shouldn’t you be following me so secretly?”

In that moment, the elite special police force appeared all at once.

“Drop your weapons and surrender, or you will be shot!”

“Would I really have the guts to do that? Seoul could be destroyed with just one word from me······ And I have the guts to do that.”

The moment the Creator smiles,

-phut!

The bomb in 007’s bag exploded.
