◈Episode 171◈

I will definitely save you

Psycho’s concert is in full swing.

Bang Jin-woo and Han Eun-kyung followed a young man carrying a backpack. He was wearing plain jeans, sneakers, and a baseball cap pulled down low.

“Is it really him?”

“Yeah, I’m sure. If you’re worried, why don’t you ask me directly?”

“And then what if I blow it up? Anyway, I reported it to Detective Kim. I’ll trust Detective Han’s instincts.”

“Have I ever been wrong?”

Bang Jin-woo answered immediately.

“Never.”

“This time it won’t be any different. To me it’s like shouting that you’re going to blow up a concert hall. Why don’t other people see that?”

“Knowing that, detective, you’re weird? I envy you. To me, you seem like a crazy person who’s excited.”

The man Han Eun-jung was watching danced like crazy, shaking his body as if he only wanted to live for today.

“He’s a little bit of a troublemaker. He knows that if he detonates the bomb, a lot of people will die.”

“Then you shouldn’t blow it up… Terrorists are weak to clubs. But did that guy come alone?”

“I’m cautious because of that too······ For now, I don’t think there’s anyone as suspicious as that guy.”

“That’s not the face of the guard we identified. We’ll need a photo of the face. Can you please have Detective Han take a good photo of it?”

“okay!”

Bang Jin-woo approached the dancing guards, and Han Eun-kyung prepared to take a picture with her cell phone.

-Ouch!

Bang Woo-jin hit the guard’s head. Then he took off his baseball cap that was pulled down low and shouted.

“What are you doing here alone? Do you know how much your seniors are looking for you?”

The young guard asked with a suppressed expression.

“who are you?”

Bang Woo-jin said with a surprised expression.

“Sorry. Sorry. Sorry, I’m sorry! You’re wearing the same hat as my friend······. How can I atone for this sin?”

“Okay, go.”

“Thank you! This will never happen again.”

Bang Woo-jin ran towards Han Eun-kyung as if he was running away.

“Did you take a good picture?”

“Yeah, I took a good picture and sent it to the unsolved crimes unit. Detective Hwang Yeo-ju and Inspector Kang will figure out who it is.”

“How do I stop him? I can knock him out in the blink of an eye.”

Han Eun-kyung shook her head negatively.

“It’s dangerous… I think it would be better not to do that.”

“Then how are we going to take that bomb away from him? He’s not the kind of guy who’d hand it over just because we asked him to.”

“well······.”

It was a time when Han Eun-kyung’s worries deepened.

After Psycho’s song ended, a guest appeared.

“Wow~ It’s actress Kim Hye-ran!”

The audience cheered and cheered.

“Hello? I am actress Kim Hye-ran.”

“This is my concert hall. It seems like you are more popular than me as a singer?”

The audience laughed out loud, but Bang Woo-jin’s expression was distraught.

“Detective Kim, please hurry and evacuate your mother. It’s not a big deal.”

“Actress Kim Hye-ran won’t do that. If she leaves, the guards will be suspicious······.”

Kim Hye-ran said with a bright smile.

“There are many people who came to see the performance today. They must have worked hard to enjoy the concert. Some of them have a more special story.”

Kim Hye-ran continued speaking, gesturing toward the front of the audience.

“She was on TV recently and really touched my heart. She’s a great mother who overcame cancer for her twins.”

Bright lights shone on her, and there was a huge outpouring of cheers and comfort.

“Cheer up, Mom!”

“You’re so cool! Fight until the end for the twins!”

Kim Hye-ran introduced another special guest.

“Another hero is here. He is the firefighter who saved countless children from the fire at the kids’ cafe in Busan. He gave up his own oxygen mask to fight the flames.”

“Wow!”

Amidst the audience’s enthusiastic cheers, Bang Woo-jin and Han Eun-kyung felt a tremendous sense of burden.

“Detective Han, we must save them. We cannot let those who miraculously survived die here.”

“Of course! I really want to do that.”

* * *

The National Intelligence Service investigation room turned into a sea of ​​blood.

The Creator, who was completely wounded, asked Kim Han-gyeol.

“You found a guard with a bomb······? Are you just making that up to piss me off?”

“I’m not the type to use my brain to tease people. My mom is at the Psycho concert too. The photos just arrived.”

Kim Han-gyeol showed him the photo he received from Han Eun-kyung.

“Is this the guy?”

“!”

Soon, Kim Han-gyeol spoke to Shin Dae-seong as if he was telling a lie.

“Looking at the Creator’s reaction, it seems certain.”

“Who is this guy? He’s not the guard we identified······.”

“Detective Hwang used the facial recognition system to determine his exact identity. His name is Jang Hyun-woo, and he is 22 years old. He was exempted from military service and took a leave of absence from his third year at a Korean university. Why would someone so smart as to attend a Korean university do something like a bodyguard?”

“It seems like he was a problem child who only studied well. Because he studied well, his problems were hidden. If he caught Song Yu-jeong’s eye, it would be obvious how crazy he was.”

“I got a text from Detective Bang. He asked me to tell him how to subdue him.”

Shin Dae-seong responded.

“Are there any other guards?”

“Detective Han said that he didn’t seem to be there.”

“Don’t touch it until it’s time to detonate. If anyone tries to steal the backpack, it will automatically explode.”

“Won’t it just explode when it’s time to detonate?”

“No, the last one will be operated manually. Why? Because there will be a message to be sent to the world.”

Kim Han-gyeol organized and answered.

“You’re saying that you’re going to stay still until the moment of detonation, and then wait until the moment of detonation to deliver your message?”

“That’s right, the only gap will be at that very moment.”

“I texted Detective Bang right away. It’s up to Detective Bang and Detective Han to stop the third explosion. Now, do we have to find out about the fourth bomb? Even if we stop the third explosion, the fourth bomb will go off in two hours.”

Shin Dae-seong slowly shook his head.

“No, there’s no need for that. If we stop the third bomb, the SS’s entire operation will change.”

“How does it change?”

“The Creator knows······.”

Shin Dae-seong approached the Creator again.

“Tell me how the operation changes when it fails?”

“Huh, there’s no such thing.”

“Will Song Yu-jeong take control of the operation?”

“······.”

“That seems to be true. Perhaps they are contacting us because they believe something has happened to your personal information?”

The Creator hid his expression of bewilderment.

‘Is this guy really inside my head? He knows every little detail······.’

“You shouldn’t be surprised now. There are more surprising things ahead.”

“Detective Shin Dae-seong, you’re making a mistake. What will happen if Song Yu-jeong finds out that I’ve been treated like this?”

“Are you going to detonate all the bombs you have at once?”

The Creator looked towards the magic mirror.

“Detective Shin Dae-seong is currently pursuing personal revenge. Does he not care if the Republic of Korea is completely ruined?”

-That’s right, you should have answered honestly when I investigated. Right now, there’s no one above you to stop Detective Shin. I’m just going to let whatever happens happens.

“I’ll make you an offer you can’t refuse. Get Detective Shin out of here, and I’ll give you a cure for five hundred people.”

-It’s too late. Right now, I’m under Detective Shin’s orders.

Shin Dae-seong said to Manager Im.

“We must now put pressure on Song Yoo-jung.”

-I’d like to do that too, but I don’t even know where she is.

“That’s not a problem. Instead, can you push Song Yoo-jung’s parents to extremes? In the past, they were part of the royal family, so you couldn’t mess with them.”

– It’s possible now. We’re in a situation where there are thousands of victims of a biochemical attack.

“Summon Song Yu-jeong’s parents for questioning and tell them the whole truth.”

-Then the shock will be immense. It will really push you into an extreme situation.

Shin Dae-seong answered in a completely unreserved voice.

“Song Yoo-jung’s parents also have a great deal of responsibility for this situation. If they hadn’t blindly protected their daughter, things wouldn’t have gotten this bad.”

– At times like this, it seems like we’ve returned to our old ways. The most important thing is to prevent the third explosion.

* * *

A concert venue where singer Psycho is singing passionately.

Bang Woo-jin and Han Eun-kyung’s gaze was fixed on Jang Hyun-woo, not the stage.

“The concert is coming to an end, and the time of the explosion is approaching.”

“You only get one chance. Can you do it?”

“I’m confident in one thing: using my body. If I fail, run away before the bomb explodes.”

“I’m not attacking Jang Hyun-woo?”

“Even if you rush in, the result is obvious. Detective Han, don’t you have children? You should take care of yourself as much as possible.”

“Thank you, Detective Bang.”

“I think it’s time to move now. Jang Hyun-woo took off the bag on his back.”

Bang Jin-woo and Han Eun-kyung walked towards Jang Hyun-woo. They approached from behind without being noticed by Jang Hyun-woo.

“It’s like changing a biochemical bomb from automatic to manual. The moment when Jang Hyun-woo delivers the message is the opportunity.”

“If I succeed in subduing that guy, secure the backpack.”

“okay······.”

-sudden!

Bang Jin-woo and Han Eun-kyung quickly lowered their heads. This was because Jang Hyun-woo suddenly turned around.

Fortunately, I wasn’t caught.

They were approaching cautiously again.

Bodyguard Jang Hyeon-woo manually changed the bomb in his backpack.

If he succeeds, countless people will die. He hesitated only for a moment.

Within seconds the trigger switch flashes and a scream sounds.

“Everyone, listen to me!”

-Ouch!

Bang Jin-woo said, hitting his head hard.

“You couldn’t find it here? I saw someone just like you earlier. Their backs were exactly the same.”

“What are you······.”

Bang Jin-woo showed a puzzled expression again.

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry!”

“Didn’t you hit me like this earlier and say you were sorry?”

“I didn’t do it on purpose. It’s exactly the same person I found, so I made a mistake twice.”

“Who exactly are you looking for?”

“The Creator’s personal guard.”

“!”

“They said they had a bomb ready to explode here.”

Jang Hyun-woo hurriedly tried to press the trigger switch,

-Thump!

Bang Jin-woo was quick to grab the trigger switch with his hand.

The two immediately engaged in a fierce physical fight. It was a desperate battle to see whether the bomb would explode or not.

Han Eun-kyung flashed her police ID and shouted.

“This is the detective from the Cold Case Task Force. We are currently arresting a criminal. Audience members, please leave here immediately!”

She couldn’t just intervene. Bang Jin-woo and Jang Hyun-woo were struggling on the floor, and while trying to help Bang Woo-jin, she might have ended up pressing the explosion switch instead.

“Eww!”

Bang Jin-woo’s scream erupted.

Because Jang Hyun-woo bit the back of his hand with his mouth. Bang Jin-woo, who was suffering, was in danger of missing the trigger switch.

-What the heck~

Jang Hyun-woo’s body went limp with a sudden bell sound.

Kim Hye-ran knocked out Jang Hyun-woo with a frying pan.

* * *

The hideout of the royal guard where Song Yu-jeong is hiding.

She started looking at her watch more and more often.

Because it was past time for the bomb to explode in Daejeon.

She asked one of the guardsmen.

“Did you get a call from Hyunwoo?”

“No, there isn’t. Don’t worry too much. Jang Hyun-woo isn’t the kind of person who would detonate a bomb out of fear.”

“That’s true······.”

Song Yoo-jung was watching a news channel just in case, when suddenly breaking news came.

-They are famous for being a royal family. There is news that Song Yoo-jung’s parents, former Minister of Public Administration and Security Song Byung-gil and Baekgi Law Firm CEO Oh Young-hee, have made extreme choices.

“!”
