◈Episode 37◈

The End of Recklessness

A chase unfolding in the air.

Stuntwoman Jang Yu-mi quickly chased after Suspect 2.

“Detective Shin, is that woman really Hwang Gil-dong? If so, there would be no reason to risk your life and chase her.”

“First, let’s rescue the kidnapped child.”

It’s time for Shin Dae-seong and Kim Han-gyeol to take action.

Han Se-ah’s mother approached with the police.

“Detective, what happened to my daughter? Did the guy who took her backpack tell you where Sea was?”

Shin Dae-seong took her to a quiet place.

“We will do our best to find your daughter. And we will issue an Amber Alert. Please provide the police with the most recent photo of your daughter.”

“Yes, I will. Please find Sea. They told me not to contact the police.”

Shin Dae-seong gestured to the ceiling and said.

“Detective Kim, can you get up there?”

“Are you crazy!”

Kim Han-gyeol shouted immediately.

I was anxious that he might do it to me, so I made a move in advance.

“If Detective Shin goes up, I won’t stop him.”

“I want to do that too, but if I go up there, there’s a risk that the structure will collapse······.”

“I’ll tell you in advance. I’m not the kind of reckless character who rushes in and arrests criminals without hesitation.”

“Yeah, I noticed it in the first incident······ But where do you get out of that dome ceiling?”

“Will there be a rooftop?”

“What I mean is, I wonder how you’re going to escape from the mart building. Is it easier to call a helicopter or something these days?”

“No. This is not the United States, and it’s ridiculous. How much ransom did they have to pay to use a helicopter?”

Team Leader Park Dong-hee’s radio transmission came in.

-The left side of the mart building is close to the rooftop of an old shopping mall. You can escape using the rope.

“How many people were sent to the rooftop?”

-They say they can’t get in because the rooftop door is locked.

“You did that when I couldn’t see you earlier… We’re going up to the rooftop too. Ask stuntwoman Kang Yu-mi to open the rooftop door first.”

-All right.

Shin Dae-seong and Kim Han-gyeol climbed up the stairs to the rooftop.

“What if Suspect 2 escapes from the building next door?”

“That would be better.”

“Huh? What does that mean?”

“Escape from the rooftop is not easy. It’s a last resort. You didn’t have a chance to practice, did you? What if you escaped by helicopter?”

“Yes.”

“When faced with it, most people give up because they are afraid of their lives. But those without any sense try recklessly and fall to their deaths. I have never seen anyone succeed.”

“Only Suspect 2 knows Sea’s location. She absolutely cannot die, right?”

“yes!”

Shin Dae-seong and Kim Han-gyeol arrived at the rooftop stairs.

-Bang, bang, bang!

The detectives who arrived first pushed the door open, but it was no use.

“Just a moment!”

It’s Kang Yu-mi’s voice heard from inside the door.

“I’ll open it, so just stay still.”

-Thud!

As the rooftop door opened, detectives rushed in like a tidal wave.

“Where is he?”

“Over there!”

The detectives ran to where Kang Yu-mi was pointing.

-Padadak!

Suspect 2 was preparing to escape. He was more reckless than Shin Dae-seong expected.

“Surely you’re just going to run and jump between buildings?”

Suspect 2 installed a cloud board on the rooftop railing. He ran barefoot, stepped on the cloud board, and jumped to the roof of the building next door.

Suspect 2 shouted in a loud voice.

“Don’t come here, you little brats! If you move even one step, I’ll just jump out of here. If I die, the kid I kidnapped will die too. I told you to kill me if I don’t hear from you within two hours.”

Kim Han-gyeol spoke cautiously.

“Can’t you jump over here? How far is it? You also have to consider the weight of the bag you’re carrying.”

“!”

“Don’t do that. Turn yourself in. If you tell me where Sea is, I’ll give you a big discount.”

“Be quiet!”

Suspect 2 shouted, pulling the bag on his back tighter.

“I killed a person anyway. My life is completely over, and it doesn’t matter whether I die this way or that way.”

“No, you have to live~ Isn’t it unfair to die like this? If you jump here, you’ll 100% die.”

“Fuck······Life is a gamble anyway.”

“Gambling and suicide are wrong! The suspect you stabbed didn’t die. He was safely taken to the hospital, right?”

“Do you think you would believe that?”

Kim Han-gyeol tried to persuade suspect 2.

“If you don’t believe me, I’ll show you the news on my phone. Is there a breaking news report saying he’s alive and receiving treatment?”

“Do you think I’m an idiot?”

“No······.”

“If he were alive, he would have told me where he hid the kidnapped child. But since he’s already dead, he’s clinging to me.”

“······.”

“Where are you going to get your ass kicked? If you do anything even a little bit reckless, I’ll just jump down. Do you think I can’t do it!”

“Please don’t do that. You should think about your mother who gave birth to you and raised you. If she finds out you’re acting like this, how disappointed will she be after all her hard work?”

Shin Dae-seong flinched and tried to dissuade him.

“Detective Kim. Don’t talk about your mother. In this situation, there’s more harm than good······.”

Kim Han-gyeol quickly shut his mouth, but it was too late.

Suspect 2 reacted violently.

“Fuck! Why did my life turn out like this? My mother, the idiot, abandoned me and is living well! This shitty world where bad guys thrive! Why do I get screwed no matter what I do?”

Soon he shouted as if he had made up his mind.

“Get out of the way! If you stop me, I’ll just change direction and jump down.”

-Dadadadadada.

Suspect 2 started running.

“Wow~.”

Kim Han-gyeol was shocked, but he couldn’t help it.

If Suspect 2 died, the life of the kidnapped child would also be in danger.

The detectives quickly got out of the way, and Suspect 2 screamed and sped up even more.

“Come on, come on, come on~.”

Kim Han-gyeol couldn’t stand his anxiety.

Because the saying that no one has ever successfully escaped from a rooftop came to mind.

-Tung tung tung tung tung tung.

The suspect climbed onto a cloud board installed on the railing.

Jump while pulling up all your strength and stepping on the end~!

-Boohoo~.

Suspect 2’s body rose into the air.

Kim Han-gyeol put his hands together and prayed earnestly.

“Please~ Please, please, please······.”

He never wanted a criminal to do well, but this time was an exception. If Suspect 2 succeeded, the kidnapped child could be saved.

“Come on, come on, come on~.”

Suspect 2 was waving his hands and feet in the air like crazy. He seemed to want to go a little further.

The detectives who were watching this also felt sorry.

It is still unclear whether it is a success or a failure.

The wind is a variable.

If a strong headwind were to blow, it could have crashed right away.

-Phew~.

The wind blew strongly as if the heavens were helping. Suspect 2, who was barely hanging on, fell onto the roof of the building next door.

-Bam!

Suspect 2, who barely managed to climb over the rooftop railing, rolled around to ease the impact.

Yong-ui-jak 2, who had just gotten up, let out a loud cheer.

“Wow! I did it! I succeeded!”

He couldn’t contain his joy at his success.

Instead of thinking of running away from the police, he instead approached them.

“See, you little punks! I’m getting lucky now. Catch me if you can, you little punks!”

Suspect 2 shouted loudly and waved his finger.

“Ha~ This is driving me crazy······.”

Kim Han-gyeol’s mind was complicated.

It’s a time when I’m glad that Suspect 2 is successful, but also when I feel annoyed.

-Whew!

“!”

Someone passed by Kim Han-gyeol quickly.

Then, Shin Dae-seong, who was floating in the air, looked at me from behind and was startled.

“Detective Shin~!”

Suspect 2, who was wagging his finger at the detectives, was also surprised.

Because Shin Dae-seong was rushing towards him.

“That crazy detective bastard······.”

A smile spread across Shin Dae-seong’s face, while Suspect 2’s face was badly distorted.

-Phew!

Because Shin Dae-sung hit his face with his knee.

Soon the two of them became entangled and fell to the rooftop.

Suspect 2 quickly got up and tried to run away,

-Wow!

Shin Dae-seong flew and knocked him down again.

The two rolled around on the rooftop, tossing and turning. From a distance, it looked like they were fighting fiercely, but they weren’t.

“You crazy detective, what are you doing?”

“To grant your wish to die.”

“what?”

Shin Dae-seong intentionally rolled away from the mart building.

“It’s common for criminals to fall to their deaths after a fight with a detective. I get to be the hero, and you get to be cursed at even after you die.”

“If I die, the kidnapped child will die too······.”

“Why do you keep talking so strangely? There’s no guarantee that the kidnapped child will be released even if I save you.”

“!”

“You are a man who killed his colleagues for money. I have no intention of dealing with a man like that. However, I can take revenge in advance for the sake of Se-ah who was kidnapped.”

“What, what did you say?”

Shin Dae-seong raised the body of suspect 2.

“Look me in the eye. Do you think I’m making a pointless threat?”

“!”

Suspect 2’s reaction is one of heart sinking.

It was a look in his eyes that conveyed a madness that could not be expressed in words.

Shin Dae-seong spoke into Suspect 2’s ear.

“What kind of pain would it be to fall to the ground and die? It would be incredibly painful the moment you hit the ground.”

“Please, don’t do this······.”

From a distance, Shin Dae-seong appeared to be in more danger because his body was hanging over the railing. However, in reality, Shin Dae-seong was able to throw Suspect 2 over the railing.

“Save me, save me······.”

“What are you talking about? You’re pushing me off the roof?”

“Fuck, I don’t want to die!”

“Then, you have a choice? Either fall here and die, or tell me where Sea is and save your life.”

“······.”

“For your information, lying doesn’t work on me. You don’t get a second chance. The moment you lie, you’re out.”

“You are truly crazy.”

“I’ll give you exactly 10 seconds. Tell me the truth about where Sea is. One, two, three… Time is running out, what should I do? Am I going to fall to my death like this?”

“······.”

* * *

An old villa in Gyeonggi-do.

The accomplices who were with Han Se-ah were troubled.

A man watching TV looks more anxious than a woman smoking.

“Why haven’t you contacted me? Did something happen?”

“What are you so nervous about? We just have to do whatever Hyundong says. If we don’t get a call within 10 minutes, we’ll erase the evidence and get out of here.”

“Are you really going to kill Sea?”

“Then, you’re going to be caught as a kidnapper and spend the rest of your life in prison?”

Soon the woman blew the smoke from her cigarette into the man’s face.

-Phew~.

“Knock knock knock, this crazy bitch… She smokes all day, looks at her phone, looks at her phone, then smokes again. That’s why men get sick of her and run away.”

“It’s better than someone who lost everything by gambling. But still, isn’t it like kidnapping your friend’s daughter?”

“what!”

This is when a man gets angry and stands up.

A breaking news report came on the TV they were watching.

-We are reporting on a kidnapping incident. The kidnapped child is Han Se-ah, 6 years old. The kidnappers are looking for money and a backpack······.

-Bam.

The cigarette the woman was smoking fell to the floor, and the man collapsed to the ground.

“What, what, what do we do now?”

“What should I do, to get away from here quickly?”

“What about the child?”

It’s when a woman turns her head to the small room and ponders.

Breaking news continued on TV.

-The police are tracking down the suspects. One of them was injured and taken to the hospital for treatment, but his life is not in danger. Another suspect is being chased by detectives from Gangnam 2nd Police Station······.

The woman immediately changed her mind.

“Kidnapping and kidnapping and murder are as different as heaven and earth. Now that one person has been caught, our identities will be revealed.”

“What? You want to save the child? You might even remember my face.”

“Huh? You were just so surprised that I asked you how you could kill me?”

“······.”

“Kill him or leave him alive, it’s up to you. I’ll get out of here in a hurry.”

The woman is about to go out, carrying only a pack of cigarettes.

-Thud······.

“?”

I thought something fell on the living room floor,

-Boom~!

Tear gas was released along with a loud noise.

“Wow~ Knock knock knock~.”

The accomplices writhe in pain and cough.

-Clang!

The SWAT team broke the villa’s window and entered.

They immediately subdued the accomplices and quickly began searching the inside of the villa.

The commando who entered the small room shouted.

“We found the kidnapped child!”

“Okay, mission clear. Evacuate the child quickly.”
