◈Episode 28◈

Appearance on TV

Kim Han-gyeol asked Shin Dae-seong to confirm.

“You had no expectations of me at all?”

“It’s not that there was nothing at all. You did a very good job.”

“It’s the nuance of just trying to brush it off. I had some expectations, didn’t I?”

“You’re so persistent······.”

“It means something to me.”

Shin Dae-seong responded with a sly smile.

“Let’s just say it was less than 50% and move on… Besides, Detective Kim’s mother wasn’t that close to Yoon Ga-hee, right?”

“Butler Choi wouldn’t have checked with my mother. My mother trusts me more than he does.”

Detective Seo Min-ju asked with an expression that said she was seeing it again.

“Detective Kim, when did you learn sign language?”

“You’ve never learned it?”

“What did you do in the interrogation room earlier? You miss your daughter so much, you miss her so much… Did you just do some random hand gestures?”

“It’s not just any hand gestures! The sign language is clear. You know the Sundae soup restaurant at the Gangnam 2-seo intersection?”

“Yes, we go there often too.”

“The boss’s husband would make these signs whenever he saw me. He would stop when the boss saw him.”

“The lady there is a real caretaker. Not only did she marry a hearing-impaired man, but she also took in a husband who had been in prison for fraud.”

“Anyway, that old man does this whenever he sees me.”

Kim Han-gyeol repeated the hand movements he had made in the investigation room.

“What does it mean?”

“I don’t know! The boss’s husband looked really desperate······.”

Shin Dae-seong smiled faintly as he watched Kim Han-gyeol’s hand movements.

“Detective Shin, do you know what sign language this is?”

“Yeah, I know. I learned it since middle school. There could be a hearing impaired person among the victims or witnesses.”

“As expected, you are amazing. You learn everything you can for your investigations.”

“It’s not just anyone who has the highest arrest rate in the country. It takes effort that is equal to the glory.”

“So what does this mean?”

Kim Han-gyeol repeated the sign language he had seen at the Sundae soup restaurant······.

“Please lend me some money. Please lend me some money.”

“somehow······.”

-Whoosh.

Detectives from the 3rd Violent Crimes Unit came rushing in and congratulated Kim Han-gyeol.

“Detective Kim, you really solved it!”

“It’s all thanks to the team leader pushing me hard.”

“I was completely goosebumps-inducing with Detective Kim’s acting. I almost cried, too.”

“Detective Choi helped me the most.”

“I knew that Detective Kim would hit the jackpot someday.”

“Thank you, youngest.”

It’s a time when the warm-hearted words of wisdom from detectives from the 3rd Violent Crimes Unit continue.

“Wow~ Oh oh oh~.”

A scream, similar to the howling of an animal, echoed through the quiet police station building.

Choi Jang-su looked around in horror.

“Where does the monster’s roar come from?”

“Really? It doesn’t seem like a sound that a human can make.”

Kim Han-gyeol also looks like he has no idea what the monster noise is.

However, Shin Dae-seong and Park Dong-hee, the team leaders, responded that they knew what he was talking about. The two looked at each other and snickered.

Kim Han-gyeol asked Team Leader Park Dong-hee.

“What is this strange sound?”

“That’s what the chief says.”

“Huh? Our chief?”

“Yes, that’s the sound of our Chief Yong-gyun Lee being overjoyed.”

“We’ve never heard of it?”

“Because there has never been anything that made the chief so happy. I heard it often at Mapo Police Station.”

As soon as Team Leader Park Dong-hee finished speaking,

“Wow, congratulations, you guys!”

Chief Lee Yong-gyun appeared with a face full of joy.

“My luck is finally turning! The powerful 3rd team that I used to hate saved me!”

“Congratulations, Chief. Shouldn’t you personally hold the press conference tomorrow?”

“Of course. It’s been a while since I’ve been on TV for something good. And you know I’m having a company dinner today, right?”

The three strong teams all stood at attention and answered.

“I am prepared!”

“Gather together without leaving anyone out… I’ll feed you until you burst.”

“Are you going to kill me with beef? Are you going to kill me with sashimi?”

“Both!”

The next morning.

Kim Han-gyeol opened his eyes in his bed in his room.

“Damn, my head hurts so much… How much did you drink?”

Kim Han-gyeol frowns in pain.

-Rumble.

Kim Hye-ran opened the door and came in.

“Oh my, it smells like alcohol······.”

-Knock knock.

She opened the window and ventilated the room.

Kim Han-gyeol asked in a semi-conscious state.

“Mom, how did I get in······.”

“Designated driver. He said he liked it so much that he became a regular.”

“Ah, Director Jeong······ Please get Mom’s autograph later. I’ll sleep for just one more hour······.”

It’s time for Kim Han-gyeol to cover himself with the blanket again.

“What are you talking about?”

-sudden!

Kim Hye-ran said, pulling the blanket away.

“You have a broadcast appearance today, right? Get up.”

“What kind of broadcast is this······ I’m not a celebrity.”

“I’m talking about the case briefing scheduled for today. I heard all the detectives from Team 3 of Violent Crimes are going to show up?”

“What should I say… I don’t want to be a screen. I even told the team leader that I’ll be late.”

-match!

Kim Hye-ran’s back smash was explosive.

“Do you think it’s easy to get a chance to appear on TV? If you don’t get up, you’re right.”

“Kai, I already hit you······.”

“Should I brag about my son too? That talented detective over there is my son! He turned down the idea of ​​becoming a celebrity and devoted himself to the country. Why would I blow this golden opportunity?”

“Okay, just sleep for one more hour······.”

Kim Han-gyeol tried to sneakily crush it.

“Why don’t you wake up?”

-match!

Kim Hye-ran immediately used force because she knew that talking would be useless.

“Mom, please······.”

“Get up, get up. Get up!”

-Clap! Clap! Clap!

Park Hye-ran’s back smashes continued to explode. Kim Han-gyeol tried to defend, but it was no use.

Still, Kim Han-gyeol tried to hold on with his strong body.

-Phew.

A smash with powerful force broke through Kim Han-gyeol’s flimsy defense.

-Ouch~!

* * *

Entrance to the main building of Gangnam 2nd Police Station.

“Aww, man, it still hurts······.”

Kim Han-gyeol endured the pain of the back smash and climbed the stairs, but Shin Dae-sung thoughtlessly hit him on the back.

“Detective Kim, why are you here early?”

-widely!

“Ah~ Why of all things······.”

Kim Han-gyeol frowned and waved his arms awkwardly.

“What’s wrong? It doesn’t look like you’re dancing······.”

“I got hit by my mom.”

“Back smashing?”

“Yes, even as I get older, my mother’s power is still the same······.”

“You really look like you’re in pain? You’re even on the verge of tears.”

“Is there such a thing as fake sickness?”

They chatted as they entered the 2nd detective division.

Maybe it’s because of the live press conference,

The detectives from the 3rd Violent Crimes Unit were getting their hair and makeup done.

Shin Dae-seong reacts with surprise.

“The world has become a much better place. The police department even sent a coordinator to me when I went on a broadcast.”

“Of course. My mom sent me her own coordinates. My coordinate sister is a bit like that too.”

“What does that mean?”

After Detective Choi Jang-soo’s makeup was finished, it was Chief Lee Yong-gyun’s turn.

He sat down on the chair and said hello.

“Thank you for your hard work.”

“It’s okay. I get paid by Hye-ran for doing this. Makeup here pays more and is more comfortable.”

“Oh, then I guess I’ll have to call you often for Miss Cody?”

“I don’t even expect it anymore. This is the first press conference like this since the drug crackdown on Club Street. They just kept holding apology press conferences.”

Chief Lee Yong-gyun felt sorry for no reason.

“I’m sorry. I’ll try harder.”

Cody’s words were direct, but his skills were outstanding. He changed the boring style with his dazzling sleight of hand.

“What do you think? Do you like it?”

“Wow, this is really me······.”

Chief Lee Yong-gyun looks very pleasing.

“Next······Team Leader Park Dong-hee, please come.”

Kim Han-gyeol immediately expressed his dissatisfaction.

“Sister Yeonju, isn’t this wrong? Detective Shin and I got here first. Mom even beat us on the back for telling us to leave early.”

“You and Detective Shin are the last ones.”

“Why~?”

“The two of you like the original, so you can do it roughly. But the other detectives are different. No matter what you do, you can’t find a style. You have to pay that much attention, so it takes a lot of time. Hurry up and sit down, Team Leader Park.”

“yes······.”

Team leader Park Dong-hee sat down with an uneasy expression.

The first to approach was Choi Jang-soo, who had his makeup done.

“Detective Kim, do you remember what I said at the drinking party yesterday?”

“What did I hear?”

“Detective Kim was promoted to special officer.”

“Why? Didn’t you say that if we just solved the Yoon Ga-hee case, it would be certain? And Detective Shin also gave in to me.”

“That’s why the chief explained it to me yesterday. Detective Kim was originally supposed to be cleared, but he was given a special promotion and a clean sweep.”

Kim Han-gyeol’s reaction was that it was the first time he had heard of it.

“Was it so?”

“I had no choice. It’s the same now. Are you going to get promoted and get fired? Are you going to ask for a promotion and continue to be a detective?”

“Of course I should continue to be a detective······.”

Choi Jang-su comforted Kim Han-gyeol.

“That’s right! Let’s think positively. Where can you get away with causing trouble like that?”

“That’s right, if it weren’t for my mom, I would have already taken off my clothes. After the investigative briefing, should we have another drink?”

“I’m going to be as quiet as a mouse today. My dreams are so messy… I wouldn’t be surprised if ‘Hwang Gil-dong’ showed up.”

“!”

In an instant, the surroundings became quiet.

The detectives from Team 3 of the Violent Crimes Unit were glaring at Jang-su Choi.

Detective Choi Jang-soo, feeling the pressure, quickly apologized.

“I’m sorry, for daring to mention that name······.”

Team leader Park Dong-hee, who had finished putting on makeup, looked annoyed and gave a warning.

“Be careful. You can’t mention that name at the police station.”

“I’m sorry, team leader.”

Cody looked around at the rest of the detectives and said.

“Then······.”

The rest of the detectives all looked away from Cody. It seemed like they wanted to be picked on as late as possible.

Briefing scene on the death of actress Yoon Ga-hee.

The detectives from Team 3 of the Violent Crimes Investigation Team lined up like a screen, and Chief Lee Yong-gyun personally explained the details of the case.

“······The detectives at Gangnam 2nd Police Station did not give up. They were finally able to secure the testimony of Deacon Choi, the closest associate of Chairman Jeon Young-sook, and arrest him. Now, I will take your questions.”

Reporters in the briefing room raised their hands competitively.

“Dae Ilbo reporter Lee Yeon-jin, please ask your question.”

“When did you first become convinced that Chairman Jeon Young-sook was the culprit? At a time when most of the media was suspicious of the driver?”

“It was when the detectives from the 3rd Strong Investigation Team asked for Golden Bell······, no, for me to provide support. At that time······.”

This is when Director Lee Yong-gwan continues his explanation.

-Whoosh.

A special police force armed with guns came inside.

“Everyone, calm down. The briefing room is now closed.”

The reporters were murmuring anxiously, and Chief Lee Yong-gyun, who was briefing, asked into the microphone.

“What is going on?”

The head of the special police force bowed politely and answered.

“A report has been received that a bomb has been installed at Gangnam 2nd Police Station.”

“Who made such an absurd report?”

“This is Hwang Gil-dong.”

“What, what did you say? Hwang Gil-dong!”

A name that should not be mentioned carelessly came up at the police station.

At that time, everyone, including Chief Lee Yong-gyun, was in chaos.

Shin Dae-seong smiled pleasantly alone.

“Is it finally him······?”
