Bae Young-chang looks very troubled.

Kim Han-gyeol took a big step forward and said.

“Are you going to talk here? Or will you come with me to the West and talk?”

“Don’t you already know everything?”

“Ah, that’s true. But I need to confirm it accurately.”

“Will you please follow me for now?”

Bae Young-chang nodded and entered the small office.

Kim Han-gyeol and Shin Dae-seong exchanged glances and followed suit.

“Please take a seat, detectives.”

Bae Young-chang offered me a seat on the sofa and even personally made me some mixed coffee.

“Are you detectives from Gangnam 2?”

Shin Dae-seong answered.

“Yes.”

“This is under the jurisdiction of Gangnam 1st Prefecture······.”

“We are a special task force specializing in unsolved cases. We don’t have jurisdiction.”

“If you do this, we will also be in trouble.”

“What is your problem?”

“Ah~ The detective who speaks like this is the most dangerous······.”

Bae Young-chang asked with an embarrassed expression again.

“How much do you want? Answer honestly.”

“If I tell you, can you give it to me coolly?”

“As expected, you only say worrying things. I’ll send you the money by the end of the month. In return, please take responsibility for the entire Gangnam 2nd District.”

Kim Han-gyeol was surprised and confirmed it.

“Are you really going to give me ten million won every month?”

“Yes, I keep my promises no matter what.”

“Your barrel is incredibly big?”

“Seeing your satisfied expression makes me feel relieved.”

Kim Han-gyeol looked at Shin Dae-seong and said proudly.

“This is the first time I have received such a large bribe.”

“okay?”

“Detective Shin, you’re reacting indifferently? How much were you offered before?”

“Not monthly······but a lump sum of 5 billion?”

-Phew!

Bae Young-chang, who was drinking water, burst out laughing.

He quickly wiped the water off his face and asked Shin Dae-seong.

“Who on earth offered that kind of money? Even the conglomerates can’t just give away that kind of money······.”

“The hired thug is quiet.”

“Is that Chairman Cho Yong-man of the Shinjin Group? He’s a legend in this area. He’s not a gangster, he’s a conglomerate.”

“That guy is not a tycoon. He was just a rich gangster.”

“Were you the detective who put Chairman Cho in prison 20 years ago?”

Shin Dae-seong took a sip of his coffee and answered.

“Yeah, that’s me.”

“They say it was total war back then? Dozens of hired thugs even set up gas canisters.”

“Yeah~ The Gaston fireworks were fun. I arrested them all. Jo Yong-man was even charged with bribery.”

Bae Young-chang began to feel a sense of crisis.

“Detective, you gave up 5 billion won······ Have you been corrupted since then?”

“No, I will live my life as a police officer with more integrity than anyone else. It’s not like I don’t have any assets.”

“Even if I offer two thousand a month, it’s no use······.”

“Yeah, it includes the bribery charge.”

“······.”

Shin Dae-seong raised his body and asked.

“Is there a gas tank here too?”

“No, I use city gas.”

“I asked if you would rebel like Chairman Cho Yong-man. It seems like there are a lot of kids outside.”

“How could I do something like that? It would only add to my guilt. And the kids outside can’t fight at all.”

“What exactly is this place? It looks like a PC room or a call center.”

Bae Young-chang answered obediently.

“You can think of it as a customer center. We also manage servers.”

“Voice phishing?”

“No, I run an online gambling establishment.”

“The office is quite large, isn’t it?”

“Yes······ We can be proud to say that we are the largest in the country. We also do various things, including real estate fraud. Voice phishing is classified as something outside of our power.”

“You seem to be making a lot of money since you’re offering a thousand dollars a month?”

“Well, that’s true······.”

“Before you go to the police station, let me confirm one thing. Did you guys also swindle Grandma Kim Bok-sun out of money?”

“When did this incident occur?”

“It was six months ago.”

“Let me use the computer for a moment······.”

Shin Dae-seong nodded in agreement.

“Don’t even think about erasing the evidence. It’ll all come out when you do the forensics.”

“I know that too. If I actively cooperate with the investigation, will it be considered leniency?”

“I know you well.”

Bae Young-chang searched the computer and said.

“Where does Grandma Kim Bok-sun live?”

“Changsin-dong, Seoul.”

“Unfortunately······ No, fortunately, it’s not someone our organization worked with. And he doesn’t gamble online either.”

“Okay, I’ll tell you the rest at the police station.”

“Yes, that’s right.”

Bae Young-chang politely holds out his hand and asks to be handcuffed.

-bang!

A heavily built man burst through the office door.

“What kind of kids are messing around here?”

Bae Young-chang jumped up and stopped him.

“Min-gu, please be patient. We are not the ones who can do anything with force.”

“Who are they? These guys······.”

“You have to use polite language, Jang Min-gu. These people are detectives.”

Even after finding out the truth, Jang Min-gu continued to get angry.

“Hey, sir. We pay this much every month and you come here again? We can’t stand it anymore!”

“No~ I have to hold back. I’m sorry, detectives, this guy has such a rough personality.”

Shin Dae-seong asked Bae Young-chang.

“Is this big guy your partner?”

“Yes, this place is also very competitive and tough. You can’t get a job without being involved with gangsters.”

-bang!

Jang Min-gu slammed the table and warned.

“Get out of here. Do you think I’m a cop?”

Shin Dae-seong turned his gaze to Kim Han-gyeol and spoke.

“I think Detective Bang is right.”

“What did you say?”

“They say that these days criminals look down on the police.”

“If you want to teach the truth, I won’t stop you.”

Shin Dae-seong looked up at Jang Min-gu and said.

“You are under arrest for obstructing official business. Before informing you of your Miranda rights, I will warn you… If you resist, you will die.”

“I’m also warning you, police and all, if you don’t get out right now, you’ll die! How much have we been doing this far? Isn’t this going to be bad?”

“You just said something really good. Let me hear who you drugged.”

“I guess I shouldn’t say it out loud!”

-Phew~.

The moment Jang Min-gu swung his fist,

“!”

His heavy body was floating in the air.

Shin Dae-seong is slamming the table down with a kick.

-Wow, wow~.

Gangnam 2nd Police Station investigation room.

Bae Young-chang and Jang Min-gu were sitting next to each other.

Kim Han-gyeol asked Jang Min-gu while clicking the tip of his tongue.

“Are you feeling a little better?”

“Yes, what about the ones that aren’t dead… Kai~ Your back.”

“You should have just made a fuss about it. What made you jump in like that?”

“I am truly reflecting on my actions.”

“Reflection is reflection, and an investigation is necessary. We are looking for the organization that stole Grandma Kim Bok-sun’s money.”

Bae Young-chang answered.

“As I said before, it wasn’t us who did it.”

“That doesn’t mean it’s over. The unsolved case team must find Grandma Kim Bok-sun’s money.”

“Should I just give you 400?”

“Do you think someone is doing this because they don’t have money? Tell them what other organizers you know.”

“I don’t do voice phishing. Some kids do it as a hobby.”

Kim Han-gyeol said while looking at Shin Dae-seong.

“What should I do? It doesn’t seem like a lie.”

“I think so too.”

Then, Shin Dae-seong asked Bae Young-chang.

“Why didn’t you specialize in voice phishing?”

“There is morality in this world. If you put your spoon in someone else’s rice bowl, you will not see a good result.”

“How does retaliation come about?”

“I don’t know exactly. Isn’t that why I’m still alive? In the past, people tried to swindle dogs and cows with voice phishing. But now, people’s vigilance has increased, so it’s not easy to succeed. Real voice phishing organizations have now become specialized.”

Shin Dae-seong crossed his arms and sat lost in thought.

Bae Young-chang, who saw the scene, asked Detective Kim Han-gyeol.

“Why are you doing that?”

“Well······ This is my first time seeing something like this.”

“I have a bad feeling about this. Will I be okay?”

“What does that mean?”

“Chairman Cho Yong-man, who was arrested by Detective Shin. Wasn’t he murdered in prison?”

“Really~?”

“This is also a legendary story. It is said that he was pushed out in the war for supremacy in the prison. Now that I think about it, I suspect it was Detective Shin’s work.”

“That’s ridiculous… You’re saying that Detective Shin identified him as the mastermind behind the unjust imprisonment and went after him to kill him?”

“I didn’t imagine it that specifically. It’s true that a perfectly healthy person suddenly died. I can’t refute the claim that Detective Kim’s reasoning is wrong.”

Shin Dae-seong opened his eyes slowly.

“Stop······ How long are you going to keep talking nonsense?”

“Isn’t that what Detective Shin is saying?”

“I did go and ask Jo Yong-man. He was the most likely suspect at the time. But it wasn’t him.”

“But why did he suddenly die?”

“I don’t know exactly. He had a chronic illness. But one day, rumors started to spread that he was poisoned. I kept quiet because it was a situation that was advantageous to me.”

Kim Han-gyeol asked with a relieved expression.

“But what made you think that?”

“I always think about solving cases. I think of new methods.”

“What is it?”

“What if we do voice phishing ourselves?”

Kim Han-gyeol shouted reflexively.

“Are you crazy? Are you really going to go to jail?”

“Of course, it’s not real voice phishing. It’s just a little bit of a provocation to provoke the real voice phishing organization.”

“Oh~ It’s easier to wait than to search.”

The quick-witted Bae Young-chang intervened.

“Excuse me, are you trying to use me as bait?”

Shin Dae-seong answered.

“Yes, you’re smart and quick-witted, so I think we’ll be able to communicate well. If you succeed, I guarantee you a clear pardon. Especially since you’re not the type to live in prison. Every day will feel like a hundred days.”

“I really don’t think I could last a single day in prison.”

“Then you two should discuss it and decide. Are you going to go to prison and get beaten for more than 10 years?······.”

“10 years!”

“No matter how good a lawyer you hire, if you get caught by me, you’re finished. What are you going to do when the evidence keeps coming out? If you doubt what I’m saying, go find a lawyer and ask him. Chairman Cho Yong-man also got 40 years.”

* * *

Bae Young-chang’s illegal office.

Kim Han-gyeol said while looking into the hand mirror.

“As expected, you can’t hide your natural looks. Even when you dress up as a criminal, you’re still so cool. But Detective Shin… No, what’s that, big brother?”

Kim Han-gyeol dressed up in his most badass clothes and style. However, Shin Dae-seong was dressed in a neat suit as usual.

“There is no specific way a conman dresses. He dresses according to his target.”

Bae Young-chang defended Shin Dae-seong.

“That’s right, Detective Kim, you were dressed like a gangster, if I were the boss here, I’d fire you right away.”

“······.”

The office was filled with people who had been supported.

Shin Dae-seong asked Hwang Yeo-ju, the person in charge.

“Where did you bring these people from?”

“I brought in the cyber investigation team that is in training.”

“Detective Hwang will teach you how to do it. If another voice phishing organization leader approaches you, let them know right away.”

Kim Han-gyeol asked Shin Dae-seong.

“Would you like to raise a game character like me? There’s nothing better than a game to make you wait.”

“No, we will investigate other cases while waiting for contact from the voice phishing organization.”

“What kind of incident is it?”

“The case of the disappearance of the Daeshin-dong siblings.”

“Are you talking about the case that Detective Seo announced? Those cases have a twist where the culprit is a parent, neighbor, or someone close to the missing child.”

Shin Dae-seong answered while sitting at his desk in the office.

“This is not the case. I met with his parents and all his relatives, and they had nothing to do with the kidnapping.”

“Isn’t that a bigger problem? Because there are no clues to find the missing siblings.

“So, I have to work even harder. Investigating cases is the best way to pass the time.”

“······,”

-Tiring~ Tiring~.

Kim Han-gyeol’s cell phone rang.

“Detective Bang, this is your call… Hello?”

-Detective Kim, here you go.

“Yeah, tell me. Detective Shin is listening too.”

-We found a witness who saw the missing siblings.

“What? Who?”

-Who could it be? Team Leader Choi. We need Detective Shin to verify whether the witness’s testimony is true.

“Okay, I’ll leave right away.”

-I will send you a text message with the location you will be coming to.

“Detective Shin, please hurry up and go.”

Kim Han-gyeol finished the call and left the office.

The following Shin Dae-seong asked.

“It’s not like it’s some weird place like a natural person or a mental hospital, is it?”

“Well, I guess I’ll have to go there myself to find out. Is there a stranger place than a mental hospital?”
