Episode 15: Will this operation succeed?

“Hello. Here, take this paper first.”

“What is that?”

“Announcement of ban on difficult labor has been released.”

“No hard labor allowed?”

At that moment, Wi Jun-woo grabbed me and pulled me backwards.

“Leave this to me. After all, things can’t be done without me.”

Wi Jun-woo cleared his throat and stepped forward towards me.

“Hello. It’s closed season until the 19th of this month. It’s a period where catching cuttlefish, octopus, and squid during their spawning season is prohibited. If you read this… … Ugh!”

Wi Jun-woo, who had been chatting away with a bright smile on his face, took a step back in surprise at the cold water pouring down his trousers.

“Wormy, what should I do?”

“Oh, I have to sprinkle it over there. What happens if I sprinkle it on people?”

“I did it without knowing. Did I do it on purpose to hint at it?”

“uh…….”

A woman who had cleaned the intestines and scales and poured the remaining water on them was looking at us, holding a red rubber basin dripping with water.

Wi Jun-woo looked down at his legs with a face of disbelief.

My shoes were already soaking wet. From my ankles to my knees. The smelly water soaked through my trouser legs.

“Ugh. This is… … .”

I nodded my head in surprise, holding my nose quietly.

“Thank you, Chief.”

“Huh? What… … . Ah.”

If Wi Jun-woo hadn’t pushed me and stepped in front of me, I would have been doused with that bloody water without being able to move.

“Wow. You’re being so sacrificial. I didn’t know the Chief cared about me this much.”

As Wi Jun-woo’s face distorted greatly, the woman who had sprinkled water bowed her head, feeling extremely apologetic.

“Wow. Are you sorry? This smells pretty bad.”

“It’s okay. I just need to wash my pants. What is it? Right, Manager? Relax your face. The lady is feeling sorry.”

“Uh… … , yes. Yes. Just suck it, okay? Huh. Heh heh.”

Wi Jun-woo laughed hollowly as if his soul had left him. I took advantage of the gap and dug into the middle-aged women.

“While we’re on the subject, let me ask you one thing.”

“Ask me anything.”

“That boat over there, with the word ‘Danso’ written in blue paint. Do you know who owns that boat?”

“Is that Grandpa Deoksu’s band?”

“Are you Grandpa Deoksu?”

“Grandpa Kim Deok-su. It’s been a long time since I’ve been here.”

“That guy is seventy years older than me?”

I tilted my head.

“You still go out on boats at that age?”

“This is all I know how to do.”

“That’s right, Grandpa Deoksu has been working in the material business for a long time, so he’s very positive and strong.”

‘I thought the culprit would be at least in his 50s. Didn’t the police say they suspected him of a sexual crime?’

[It’s not just young people who commit sex crimes. According to police crime statistics, people over 61 years old account for 6.9% of rape offenders and 14.6% of sexual assault offenders. And that number is increasing every year.

It is not right to exclude someone from being a suspect based solely on age. In the recent data I have, there was an 80-year-old man who took ‘XX Gra’ and attempted to rape someone, and was caught for attempted rape.]

‘There are so many crazy guys on earth.’

“Where is Grandpa Deoksu?”

“I guess you’re going to sleep after finishing up the food. You’ll be back in an hour or two, right?”

“Okay, thanks for letting me know.”

“Hey, you smelly bastard, you need to do your laundry quickly. It’s going to be pretty gross since it’s water with intestines in it.”

“Yes, I will.”

I greeted the ladies and turned around to see Wei Jun-woo, who was drooping.

“Are you saying that the owner of that boat is Grandfather Kim Deok-su?”

“Does that matter?”

“It’s important. It’s very important. It might be related to this incident.”

At those words, Wi Jun-woo, who had been looking at his own trouser legs until then, raised his head and looked at his stomach.

“I don’t see anything suspicious at all. What makes you so sure?”

“Well, that’s… … .”

I couldn’t tell you about the thousand pieces of cloth that Aliotta had told me about. She had only enlarged it for me, so here, with the naked eye, I couldn’t even see the nails stuck in the railing.

Ha. How should I explain this?

“I haven’t told anyone about this.”

“What is it?”

“That’s… … . Ah, I don’t know if I can say this.”

When I didn’t say anything and just kept quiet, Wi Jun-woo got tired and started nagging at me.

“Please tell me. What is it?”

“Chief, you can’t tell anyone about this.”

“Of course. What do you think of me? I have a tight mouth. Don’t you trust me?”

“I believe it. I believe it. Hmm… … .”

I looked at Wi Jun-woo, who was slightly excited, and then opened my mouth.

“Then I will only tell the manager.”

“yes yes.”

“Just look at that boat.”

“Yes. Just look at it.”

“Don’t you feel a hint of darkness?”

“Oh, a dark aura?”

Wi Jun-woo’s face was distorted, as if it wasn’t the answer he had expected.

“Look closely at the ship. You can’t see it, but there’s a dark and evil energy rising up.”

“I have no idea.”

“It’s the same with the section chief. There’s a dark aura coming from the section chief too… … Oh, no. There’s a fishy smell coming from the section chief.”

“Ugh.”

I pinched my nose and turned away.

“Oh my. I need to go wash up and change some clothes. Oh my. It stinks, it stinks.”

“This is all your fault, inspector!”

“If you feel water coming at you, you should dodge quickly. People are so slow, huh?”

“No, that’s… … .”

Wi Jun-woo followed me, his shoes squeaking with the smell of blood.

* * *

“So. This is the operation?”

“yes.”

“Do you have to choose one of the two?”

“Wouldn’t it be weird if I chose both?”

“I didn’t know that officers could do things like this.”

“I never thought I would be asked to do something like this.”

“Can I not do it?”

“Is it really necessary to solve the case?”

As I looked at him with pitiful cat-like eyes, Director Kiso Young took a step back with a look on his face as if he had seen something he shouldn’t have seen.

After leaving the dock, we quickly stopped by the market and bought Wi Jun-woo’s pants, socks, and shoes, and then headed straight to the branch office.

Because there was a need to investigate more closely the ship of Grandfather Kim Deok-su. But how could one investigate it?

The case has not yet been sent to the prosecution. The police are still conducting an initial investigation.

In this situation, if a prosecutor shows up and suddenly orders an investigation, which police officer would bow down and say, “Oh my, welcome, prosecutor?”

Even if I applied for a search warrant saying, “I saw from afar that the piece of cloth looked like what the body was wearing,” what would happen if I said, “What a crazy guy, do you want to hear anything else?”

So, there is only one conclusion.

I have no choice but to investigate it myself.

The most natural way to look around the ship is to say that you want to go fishing on the ship. Wouldn’t it be much better if a man and a woman went together like the students who were murdered? Grandfather Kim Deok-su’s guard would also be lowered.

So, as soon as we got back to the branch office, we called the officer, Mr. Kisoyoung. We asked him to pretend to be lovers with one of us and go to Grandfather Kim Deoksu’s boat.

In my head, it was clearly a very cool plan. Strangely, Mr. Kisoyoung had a puzzled expression.

He was usually a quiet person, but now that I think about it, maybe he wasn’t quiet, but just didn’t want to talk to us.

“Do I have to choose one of the two?”

“Then we can go on a boat pretending to be lovers.”

“Ugh.”

“What’s the problem? It’s not like we’re really dating anyway, it’s just acting.”

At those words, Kisoyoung looked at Wijunwoo, who was standing next to her. He didn’t say anything, but it was obvious from his expression that he was not pleased.

Wi Jun-woo also understood the look in those eyes and immediately went into defense.

“What’s wrong with me? I’m handsome and tall. I’m popular with the girls.”

“Chief, I don’t believe you at all when you say things like that in that outfit.”

“Inspector, you said these clothes were okay earlier?”

“I was saying it was better than the bodysuits next to it.”

In fact, Wi Jun-woo had a pretty handsome face. He was manly and handsome in a sad way. Although he wasn’t as handsome as me.

The problem was the clothes. The old man’s pants that showed off his ankles, white socks, and white sneakers.

It was the style of a man in his 40s who came out looking all stylish in an oil field.

“I bought this in a hurry at the market, so I couldn’t find a design that I liked, Soyoung.”

I couldn’t keep wearing clothes that smelled like blood, so I bought something random at the market.

Wi Jun-woo continued making excuses.

“I don’t usually wear this.”

“I don’t feel much of a difference from usual.”

“I didn’t tell that to the inspector.”

This time, I asked Mr. Kisoyoung, who was standing with his arms crossed in silence.

“Chief, even if it’s because of my ‘wow’ fashion sense, why am I hesitating? You’re tall, handsome, and have a good job. Isn’t that great?”

Mr. Kisoyoung looked at me with a dumbfounded expression.

“Are you saying this because you don’t know?”

“I don’t know.”

“Do you know what your nickname is, Inspector?”

“Sword?”

“No, not that.”

“Crazy guy?”

“No, not that.”

“What the hell?”

“No, not that.”

“Hmm. Is there more?”

Mr. Kisoyoung said, raising one eyebrow.

“What the heck.”

“What the heck?”

“It’s an abbreviation for ‘the body is fine.’ The body is fine, but what’s inside is a bit… … .”

Mr. Kisoyoung looked at my head with a pitiful expression, dragging out his words without finishing.

Why is my head like this? How is it?

“Who is really dating? I’m telling you, it’s just a temporary show.”

Mr. Kisoyoung let out a deep sigh.

“Are you asking me to choose between a squid and a loach?”

“Huh? A cicada? A loach?”

“Can I choose either the chief or the inspector?”

“yes.”

Instead of answering, Mr. Kisoyoung raised an index finger and pointed back and forth between us.

“What. Should. I. Know. Right. Let’s. See. It. Is. Time. Ding. Dong. Daeng.”

The tip of the finger was pointing at Wi Jun-woo.

“yeah!”

Wi Jun-woo cheers with both arms raised.

“Which one? Which one? No, looking at the person right now… … .”

“Hey, Inspector, I’m not complaining because you lost. You have to admit what you have to admit.”

“What?”

“The inspector lost to me. Hehehe.”

I ground my teeth at Wi Jun-woo, who was giggling and giggling about how good it was.

“Let’s go for now. They should have had breakfast and come out on the boat by now.”

* * *

Sure enough, Grandfather Kim Deok-su was on the boat mending the nets. We hid in a corner and checked the operation one last time.

“Ms. Ki So-young and the manager are lovers. They want to go sea fishing, so they are currently choosing a boat.”

“yes.”

“Just in case Grandpa refuses, ask for more money. If you offer a lot, he’ll let you ride.”

I asked Wi Jun-woo, who nodded.

“Once you get on board, you know what happens next?”

“He suddenly felt dizzy and collapsed.”

“Yes. So-young, you can make a fuss on the side. You just have to make Grandpa crazy and focus all his attention on the manager.”

“Then?”

“Then I’ll sneak on board and take a look.”

If you use Aliotta, you can find some crucial evidence without having to search around with your hands. Then you can call the police. You can call the police by saying you are calling 119 without your grandfather noticing.

“Well, do you think this operation will work? It’s so sloppy.”

“That’s right. It’s really sloppy, even to the point of acting like a couple. Who came up with this plan?”

I stared at them both quietly.

‘Is it really that bad?’

[Yes. To be honest, a little… … .]

“Oh, okay. Let’s get started. I’ll hide here and wait for my chance, so you go to Grandpa first.”

“yes.”

Wi Joo-woo answered glumly because he didn’t like the plan. Ki So-young gently linked arms with Wi Joon-woo.

“Honey, have you ever been sea fishing?”

“Uh, uh? Yes? No?”

Wi Jun-woo was surprised when she suddenly linked arms with him in a coquettish tone, and his face turned red and he stuttered. Kiso Young did not give in and naturally led Wi Jun-woo towards the ship.

[Oh. It’s method acting.]

“Why are you being formal between us? Is this your first time sea fishing?”

“Yes, yes. Uh, yeah.”

‘Wi Jun-woo, that’s it. It’s not just your first time sea fishing. It’s not your first time linking arms with a woman either, is it?’

[Hyun-kwang speaks as if he has linked arms with others.]

‘of course.’

[Except for the one with my mother.]

‘… … .’

“There are a lot of boats over there. Honey, let’s go fishing.”

“Is that so?”

Wi Jun-woo, who was dragged by Kiso Young’s arm, turned red up to his ears.

That one, that one.

Isn’t it not that the operation failed because it was sloppy, but rather because Wi Jun-woo’s acting was awkward?
