◈Episode 57◈

An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth

Gangnam 2nd Police Station, Violent Crimes Unit 3.

Shin Dae-seong hurriedly ran inside.

“Is Detective Shin okay?”

Team leader Park Dong-hee, whose eyes were swollen, answered.

“Fortunately, they said there was no major damage. I just went to the bathroom to wash my hands. And I got hit a lot too.”

“Team Leader Park has always been physically fit.”

“Yes. It is no exaggeration to say that I have survived my life as a detective by being tough.”

-Limp.

Shin Soo-ah, who had gone to the bathroom, came back.

“Detective Shin? How is it here······.”

Shin Dae-seong asked while supporting the limping Shin Su-ah.

“What happened?”

“sorry······.”

“I asked what happened?”

“We were investigating the relationship between the driver of the exploded truck and attorney Cho Yoon-ho.”

“I don’t think the two of them would have been in contact openly.”

“So I looked into the people around Attorney Jo Yoon-ho. There was an unusual person.”

Shin Dae-seong sat Shin Su-ah down on a chair and asked.

“Who is that?”

“Crime broker ‘Cheon Won-man’.”

“Who is that guy?”

Shin Soo-ah explained while handing over a paper file.

“He’s the guy who provides items or people related to crime. The deceased driver spoke to Cheon Won-man, and Cheon Won-man then contacted attorney Jo Yoon-ho.”

“Did you get hurt while arresting Cheon Won-man?”

“No, I was following him when I got caught. He’s very observant. I followed Cheon Won-man into an empty building, and there were thugs waiting for him. Even the police were useless.”

“It looks like you had a huge fight?”

“It was fortunate that Team Leader Park was with us. He wasn’t seriously injured, but I don’t know who contacted Detective Shin.”

Team leader Park Dong-hee said while turning himself in.

“I contacted you. Now, Senior Shin is the guardian of Detective Shin. In cases like this, you must contact the guardian.”

“Good job, Team Leader Park.”

“Thank you for the compliment. Are you going to go back to the mental hospital, Detective Shin?”

“No, I don’t think I need to stay any longer. Detective Kim is doing a great job. I have to catch that guy named Cheon Won-man.”

“It won’t be easy. He’s so quick-witted and cunning. If there were ‘levels’ in crime like in Go, he’d be around level 7. He’s an intelligent guy who’ll never be caught.”

“But I can’t just leave the guy who did this to my daughter alone.”

“Are you saying you would seek personal revenge?”

“Is there anything that wouldn’t work?”

“If another detective had said something like that, I would have sworn at him and said he was crazy. But Senior Shin is different. I didn’t hear anything, and I don’t care about what happens after work.”

Shin Dae-seong asked while looking at the file Shin Su-ah had given him.

“Your occupation······is listed as the head of a film production company?”

“It’s called ‘Daemul Film Production.’ It’s almost like a scam. They made a few adult films, and they steal the actors’ wages. If you ask them for your unpaid wages, they don’t hesitate to use violence.”

“Do criminal brokers also commit fraud?”

“That’s right. We investigated it too, but the same thing happens every time.”

“You’ve never been prosecuted?”

“Yes, they will use any means necessary to get away with it. They are making a fool of our police.”

“Then I can’t just pass it by… Where is that ‘big movie studio’?”

“Well, aren’t all scammers the same? They change offices all the time······.”

This is when Team Leader Park Dong-hee cannot give a clear answer.

“It’s next to Rodeo Street in Apgujeong-dong.”

Kim Hye-ran answered as she entered the 2nd criminal investigation division.

“Hello, Hye-ran.”

“Long time no see, Detective Shin. Where is my son?”

“······.”

“Did he run away after noticing me coming?”

“no.”

“Then where did he go? He’s been following Detective Shin around like a leech. It seems like it’s gotten worse these days because a competitor has appeared. Who on earth could he be······.”

This is when Shin Soo-ha quietly ignores Kim Hye-ran.

Kim Hye-ran, who was inspecting the second detective class, had a serious expression on her face.

“Where did you really go?”

I couldn’t tell the truth that there was a mental hospital.

Shin Dae-seong said with a smiling face.

“I’m currently on standby. I might not be able to contact you for a few days.”

“That’s too bad. We came here to eat together… I guess I have no choice but to go out with Detective Shin.”

“I haven’t eaten in a while.”

“Aren’t you asking me to eat?”

“Is that so?”

Kim Hye-ran said, linking arms with Shin Dae-seong.

“We need to catch CEO Chun of Daemul Film Production Company. You don’t know how many new actors have suffered because of him. He not only stole our money, but he also threatened us with revealing photos. Reporting him to the police didn’t help.”

“So you’re going to catch him yourself?”

“Isn’t that what Detective Shin wanted? I just want to hold a memorial service while I’m at it. I want to help Detective Shin and personally punish Representative Chun.”

“This is not a movie shoot. It’s very dangerous because you never know what might happen.”

“It’s okay. I can take care of myself. Even if I get hurt, I will never sue Detective Shin or the police.”

“······.”

“Please, I beg you. I feel like I’ve fallen into a rut these days. I have no motivation for anything I do, and I can’t come up with original ideas. I need some fresh stimulation to overcome this.”

Shin Dae-seong opened his mouth with an embarrassed expression.

“Wouldn’t there be chaos if Detective Kim finds out?”

“So you have to make sure they don’t find out. Didn’t you say you wouldn’t be able to contact me for a few days because of the undercover work?”

“If Detective Kim had hair like Hye-ran, the criminals in South Korea would have dried up.”

“That’s what I regret the most.”

Shin Dae-seong said as he packed his coat.

“Are you going? Do you know where the Daemul Film Studio is?”

“Yes, there’s something I need to prepare before that.”

“What are you going to prepare?”

“Creative ideas are rising like a volcano in my head right now. You know the rule of revenge? An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.”

“Are you going to respond to fraud with fraud?”

“Detective Shin, you’re really quick-witted. Should I plan this operation myself?”

Shin Dae-seong readily agreed.

“Yes, I will. As long as it doesn’t affect Hye-ran’s safety.”

“Thank you! I need to change my clothes first. Please follow me.”

“Should I disguise myself too?”

“Okay, just trust me. I’ll give you a really cool disguise.”

“Yes, partner’s mother.”

Shin Dae-sung and Kim Hye-ran walked out arm in arm like an elegant aristocratic couple.

* * *

A famous beauty salon in Cheongdam-dong.

This is a place where actress Kim Hye-ran is a regular.

But every time the hands of the director, who is said to be the best, touched her, Kim Hye-ran became more and more rustic.

The beauty salon director asked Kim Hye-ran after finishing her makeup.

“How is it, little brother?”

Kim Hye-ran stared intently at her reflection in the mirror. She seemed quite satisfied and asked Shin Dae-seong, who was sitting next to her.

“What do you think?”

Shin Dae-sung, who had a flashy 7:3 karma and a fake mustache, opened his mouth.

“I hate to say this to you, Hye-ran… but you seem very shallow.”

“Thank you. Detective Shin, you look so sensitive. I feel like my hands and feet are curling up.”

“thank you.”

The two did not spare their praise for each other.

The beauty salon owner asked Kim Hye-ran.

“Didn’t you say there was no filming today?”

“It’s not filming, it’s helping with the police investigation.”

“Oh my, is that a real gun?”

The beauty salon owner gestured to Shin Dae-seong, who was washing his hands, and asked.

Because he was seen with a pistol strapped to his waist.

“Yes, that’s right. He’s my son’s partner detective.”

“I heard it on the news too. You solved the Yoon Ga-hee case too.”

“I gathered information from all the channels, and it was completely different from the rumors.”

“That’s right, you said he was a psychopathic detective… Isn’t he too gentlemanly? That’s not something you can imitate. It’s something that comes naturally to you.”

“As expected, my sister has an excellent eye for people. That’s why I’m going to set you up with Soojin.”

The beauty salon owner responded positively.

“Yeah~ I think it would suit you really well?”

“That’s right!”

“Sujin seems to be a bit harsh despite her gentle personality, and that detective has a dignified style. But do you think Misuk would stay still?”

“This time, Yang Mi-sook is also completely broken. She’s even avoiding Soo-jin.”

The beauty salon owner responded by hitting the back of Kim Hye-ran’s hand.

“It went so well. But why did you ask me to do this reverse makeup?”

“Sister, do you know about ‘Daemul Film Studio’?”

“Of course I know. That guy named CEO Cheon is the worst guy in the world. There are more than a few people who have left the entertainment industry because of that. The police don’t know anything, they don’t arrest those guys.”

“That’s why I’m going to scold him myself.”

“I feel uneasy for some reason······.”

“Don’t worry. Bad guys need to be punished.”

“Isn’t it just your younger brother who is righteous? He’s never caused any harm to your younger brother. They say he’s a really scary guy. That’s why other people don’t come forward.”

Kim Hye-ran looked away from the mirror and answered firmly.

“I’m protecting my own rice bowl. The Korean entertainment industry won’t be booming forever. We need to establish discipline while things are going well. If newcomers give up their dreams because of those guys, the future of the entertainment industry will be bleak.”

“I’m afraid my little brother will get hurt······.”

“Don’t worry. I’m going with a trustworthy detective.”

Shin Dae-seong came to the beauty salon wearing clothes he had hastily prepared.

It was a sparkly suit like a nightclub costume.

“It’s more comfortable than I thought.”

The beauty salon owner looked at Shin Dae-seong closely.

“Because the base is good, you can do anything······ The perfection of rusticity is, of course, flowers. Like this!”

-Shoot.

The beauty salon owner smiled with satisfaction as she placed a flower on Shin Dae-seong’s chest.

Shin Dae-seong said to Kim Hye-ran, who had become vulgar.

“Are you mentally prepared?”

“Of course. An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth!”

“I feel more secure than when I went out with Detective Kim.”

“Thank you, Detective Shin. Shall we head to the tiger’s den now?”

Shin Dae-sung and Kim Hye-ran, who had completed their disguises perfectly, came out of the beauty salon in Cheongdam-dong.

* * *

In front of the office of Daemul Film Production Company.

“Just a moment······.”

Kim Hye-ran took out one Whanghwangcheongsimhwan and put it in her mouth.

“I feel really nervous because I think it’s a real battle······.”

“It’s okay if you stop now. I’ll take care of the thousand won myself.”

“No, I can.”

This is when Kim Hye-ran, who has chosen her heart, nods her head.

-dripping.

Shin Dae-seong knocked and waited for a response.

-Squeak······.

The door opened slightly and a man wearing horn-rimmed glasses asked.

“who are you?”

Kim Hye-ran, wearing large sunglasses, answered.

“Are you here for an audition?”

“Audition?”

“Why do you look so surprised? Representative Chun told me to come anytime······.”

The horn-rimmed glasses man’s attitude changed.

“No, sorry. Would you like to come in?”

Immediately he opened the door wide.

There was a delighted expression on his face that he had caught another one.

Kim Hye-ran and Shin Dae-seong entered the office.

Kim Hye-ran, looking nervous, muttered as if it were a magic spell.

‘An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth······ A tooth for a tooth, an eye for an eye······.’

A space covered with movie posters.

Two young actresses came in first.

I was on the verge of being scammed by the man with horn-rimmed glasses.
