◈Episode 62◈

Vigilante

The reception room of actress Kim Hye-ran’s mansion.

It is the time when the sun is at its zenith.

Kim Hye-ran sat on the sofa and watched the TV news.

The news is that the body of Police Officer Lee Kang-il, who went missing 20 years ago, has been found.

“Our son has done it again······ As expected, blood is thicker than water.”

Kim Hye-ran changed the channel with a proud heart.

-Private retaliation is going too far. In Italian, it’s called ‘Vigilante’. It means vigilante.

Kim Hye-ran put down the remote control and focused on the current affairs program.

The middle-aged host continued speaking with a serious expression.

-Private revenge is strictly illegal. It cannot be justified for any reason.

Kim Hye-ran muttered in discontent.

“Why are you taking personal revenge? Since the public authorities do not punish criminals, you have no choice but to step forward.”

-Some people may blame the incompetent public authorities. However, private revenge is also an act that ignores public authorities and is punished in the same way as criminals.

Today is the day to visit Daemul Film Studio.

What she was trying to do was also a clear personal revenge and a target of police investigation.

“Surely······ I won’t get arrested, right?”

“Why is Mom being arrested?”

“Ugh!”

Kim Hye-ran screamed in surprise.

“When did you come down?”

“I just got down. Knock knock knock······.”

Kim Han-gyeol had a cold.

“I told you to take your medicine and get some rest, so why are you up already?”

“I slept too much, my back hurts. Knock knock… Did you get a call from Detective Shin?”

“Yeah, take care of yourself.”

“I have a favor to ask of you, Mom······.”

Kim Han-gyeol sat on the sofa and spoke as if he were leaving a will.

“I don’t think I can go to work today. Mom, please keep an eye on Detective Shin.”

“surveillance?”

“Don’t let other detectives partner up. You have to be especially careful with Detective Shin Soo Ah. Knock knock knock······.”

“Okay. I’ll go to work instead of you today and stick with you.”

“thank you.”

Anyway, she decided to meet Shin Dae-seong.

“It’s good that my son idolizes Detective Shin, but isn’t it too much?”

“Mom… Even though I’m having a hard time these days, I’m happy. I feel like I’ve become a really good detective. Detective Shin is like a talisman to me. I can never let someone else take me away from him.”

“Okay. Mom will make sure to protect you. I told the chief that I’ll be a detective for a day. My partner is detective Shin Dae-seong.”

“Thank you, Mom······ I’m going to work soon.”

“Okay, son.”

Gangnam 2nd Police Station, Criminal Investigation Division 2.

Actress Kim Hye-ran has decided to work as a detective for the Violent Crimes Unit 3. She is the biggest supporter of Gangnam Police Station 2. The detectives of Violent Crimes Unit 3 have accepted her without hesitation.

Team leader Park Dong-hee asked Shin Dae-seong.

“The two of you are close even in private. I hope that you will complete your daily detective work safely without any accidents.”

“Can I just follow Detective Shin around?”

“Yes, that’s right. You said to the chief that you wanted to spend a day as a 100% realistic detective from the strong-arm team?”

“Yes······ That’s right.”

“Is your next work a detective story?”

Kim Hye-ran answered with a smiling face.

“Nothing has been decided yet. I was just curious about what my son was doing.”

“Senior Shin will guide you well.”

“I also think it’s fortunate that I’m working with Detective Shin.”

“Your clothes are also nice.”

“This is the outfit I wore when I appeared in an old detective drama.”

“I remember that too. You played the role of a tough female detective in the violent crimes unit. You were really cool.”

“thank you.”

Team leader Park Dong-hee opened his mouth with a look of concern.

“But the world in the drama and reality are completely different.”

“yes?”

“It might look cool in a drama to grab a criminal by the hair and slam him into a table, right? But in real life, that would be a disaster.”

“Don’t worry. I’m not that tough. I just had to do it because it was acting.”

“Of course you would. Our team motto for Team 3 is ‘Safety First.’”

“Isn’t that a sign posted at construction sites?”

“Because my team members cause a lot of accidents. Of course, our actress Kim Hye-ran wouldn’t do that. Senior Shin, please take good care of me.”

“okay.”

“Go.”

Shin Dae-seong nodded and came out of the 2nd criminal investigation unit.

“Where are you going?”

“I’m going to investigate the suspect. You’ve also filmed a detective drama, so you’re probably familiar with it. What was the title of the drama?”

“It’s called ‘Dangerous Female Detective.’ I thought it was a romance drama when I saw the title, but it was actually an investigation drama. The title was met with anti-fans, but the response was quite good.”

“I guess it was aired while I was in prison.”

They talked as they headed to the investigation room.

“That’s right. The female protagonist detective is very tough. Her parents were brutally murdered, so she hates criminals. She also has a special ability to catch criminals.”

“What kind of ability is it?”

“The female detective has the supernatural ability to discern lies from others.”

“······.”

“Of course, this is an ability that would never exist in reality. It’s more accurate than a lie detector.”

“Is that really so?”

“Anyway, because of the travel agency’s tough behavior, it was popular, but it also received a lot of criticism.”

Kim Han-gyeol changed the subject and asked.

“You didn’t forget our appointment today, did you?”

“yes······.”

“Your answer has become smaller. If you don’t feel like it now, you can give up.”

“No! It’s something I chose to do, so I have to see it through to the end.”

“Okay, so I specifically chose a criminal who can increase Hye-ran’s fighting prowess.”

“Who is that?”

Shin Dae-seong stopped in front of the investigation room and said.

“You’ll know when you come in.”

“Are you a dangerous criminal?”

“It’s very dangerous. He’s a hitman for hire.”

“Wow, can I handle this?”

“I think······ you can handle it.”

-Rumble.

Shin Dae-seong opened the door to the investigation room and entered.

Kim Hye-ran, who followed in timidly, was startled.

“Are you a woman?”

“Yes, it is rare to find female contractors.”

“Are you a real nurse?”

“No. The person I was commissioned to do this to was in the hospital.”

Kim Hye-ran sat down, holding onto Shin Dae-seong’s arm tightly.

The killer nurse has a relaxed expression and even a faint smile.

Shin Dae-seong asked.

“name?”

“Ellis.”

“I’m talking about the real name on the family register.”

The killer nurse replied, gently twisting the side of her hair.

“Go Okja······.”

“You’re currently working as a screenwriter. Which is your real job?”

“I want to write a screenplay that will amaze the world, but I’m better at killing people.”

“Shall we start with the case where he was arrested in the act? Who ordered the killing of Wang Yu-seok?”

“I was just bored so I tried to kill him.”

“Is that too insincere of an answer?”

Go Ok-ja smiled faintly and showed interest in Kim Hye-ran.

“hello?”

“yes······.”

“Are you the movie star Kim Hye-ran? You’re wearing the outfit she wore as a dangerous female detective.”

“that’s right······.”

“I was a fan of Kim Hye-ran. I wrote several scenarios with Kim Hye-ran as the lead actress. Unfortunately, they were all rejected.”

“Oh, I see······.”

Kim Hye-ran reacted with a timid expression, even breaking out in a cold sweat. Go Ok-ja seemed to find her amusing.

“Do you know how many people I’ve killed so far?”

“No, we should start investigating now. How many people did Ms. Go Ok-ja kill?”

“If only this one thing had worked, it would have been a double-digit number, but it ended up being a real shame.”

“It’s not a pity, it’s a blessing.”

“Yes. It must be a very fortunate thing for actress Kim Hye-ran. Her only son almost died.”

“?”

Kim Hye-ran noticed something strange and asked.

“My son almost died?”

“Hahaha, you still don’t know. I was caught trying to kill your son. I thought he wouldn’t be a big deal since he’s a celebrity’s son, but he’s actually quite strong······.”

Go Ok-ja, who had been proudly speaking, stopped talking in surprise.

Because Kim Hye-ran looked at me as if she was going to eat me.

“You dared to kill my son······.”

“That was the intention, but it failed.”

“Where on earth did this bitch get her puns!”

-Wow.

Kim Hye-ran ran over and grabbed Go Ok-ja by the hair. Then, without any mercy, she slammed her face into the interrogation room table.

-bang!

“You find killing people funny!”

“Ah~ Ah~ It hurts. Please~ Let go of my head······.”

“I caught you because you were sick, you bitch! Who dared you try to kill? Today, you and I will die.”

Kim Hye-ran grabbed Go Ok-ja’s head with both hands and shook it.

A situation that Shin Dae-seong cannot stop alone.

“Madam, please be patient!”

The detectives from Team 3, who were in the monitoring room, rushed out in a group to try to stop her. As Shin Dae-seong had said, her fighting power had increased rapidly.

In front of the building where the Daemul Film Studio is located.

Cheon Won-man took a taxi in a hurry.

“Let’s go to Incheon Airport. As fast as possible!”

“Understood, sir.”

Cheon Won-man in the back seat let out a sigh of relief.

Today is D-Day.

It was the day that Sicilian Francesca decided to come see him.

If the information from the Dark Market was true, it was as good as dead. The question was how brutally he would be killed, and Cheon Won-man, who had been worrying about it, decided to run away.

“Damn… For now, I’m just going to leave Korea. As long as it’s not Italy, that’s fine. I’ll come back when things get quiet.”

“I think it would be better to wake up from this dream.”

“!”

Cheon Won-man asked the taxi driver.

“What did you just say?”

“I think it would be better to wake up. Sister Francesca isn’t that sloppy.”

“Hey, who are you?”

“First, let me give you a warning. If you do anything useless, you’ll get a hole punched in your head.”

“······.”

“You can just call me ‘Chief Jeong.’ I’ve been a designated driver for over 20 years in Korea, but in the US, I’m a problem solver for an organization called Phoenix.”

“······!”

“Judging by your reaction, it looks like you heard my rumor.”

Cheon Won-man was speechless at the absurdity. He was a legendary figure and was talked about among the gangsters.

“You tried to kill me.”

“Wh, what are you talking about······.”

“You tried to bribe a debt-ridden driver to kill a witness. I was the lucky one who survived.”

“!”

“You know what? There was no one who touched me and got away with it… No, there was no organization.”

Even Cheon Won-man knew this very well.

“Please, save me.”

“Unfortunately, I can’t kill you. Why? Sister Francesca had her eye on you first.”

“Do you know Sicilian Francesca?”

“I think you know that too. So you were trying to run away, right? But that was pointless. Sister Francesca is at the top of the mafia.”

-Squeak.

Director Jeong stopped the car.

It’s in front of the Daemul Film Studio where Cheon Won-man took a taxi.

“Sister Francesca is waiting, so come down quickly.”

“Are you telling me to die······.”

“Are you mistaken? You are still alive thanks to Sister Francesca. The moment Sister Francesca takes the bait, you will die to me.”

“······.”

“If you know, get off quickly.”

-Rumble.

Cheon Won-man opened the taxi door and got out. Then, like an ox being dragged to the slaughterhouse, he went up to the movie theater.

Kim Hye-ran and Shin Dae-seong were waiting.

“You left the office, where did you go?”

-dump!

Cheon Won-man knelt down and buried his forehead on the ground.

-thud!

“Please spare my life! I will do whatever you tell me to do.”

Kim Hye-ran, who was very nervous, secretly let out a sigh. This was because Cheon Won-man had collapsed on his own.

* * *

Shin Dae-seong asked Kim Han-gyeol.

“How’s your cold?”

“I’m almost better now.”

“I wish you were completely healed and came out.”

“That can’t be. How could we miss the opportunity to arrest the Babel Alliance’s cheap lawyer?”

-Squeak.

Kim Han-gyeol forcefully opened the door to the legal team’s office, and Shin Dae-seong shouted while holding out an arrest warrant.

“We are from Gangnam 2nd Police Station, Violent Crimes Unit 3 again. We will execute the arrest warrant for Mr. Choi Yun-ho.”

“If you interfere with official duties, you will be taken to a set.”
