Episode 66: Are you ready to die?
The thought didn’t last long. There was no time to think. When the man who finished paying reached out to receive the envelope containing the assorted sashimi, I held out the envelope exactly 20 degrees to the right of his hand.
The man looked at me with a face like, ‘What is this situation?’ You couldn’t tell even if you looked at him. I was still wearing my motorcycle helmet.
When the man reached out a little more to grab the paper bag, I quickly turned my hand to the left.
The man who had been in midair raised one eyebrow and glared at me.
“Oh, sorry. I misunderstood.”
I apologized politely and politely held the envelope out in front of me. The man clicked his tongue once. He seemed to be suppressing his irritation.
The man reached out again to grab the envelope, but this time he failed again, because I held the envelope out to the side again.
The man waved his hands in the air trying to grab the paper bag somehow, but I dodged it like a martial arts master and grabbed the paper bag.
[Okay. Are you good at it?]
‘Is it time to be amazed now? Is it still far?’
[It’s far. It’s all finished.]
As I was about to end the paper bag fight, sighing, the man suddenly became angry.
“What are you trying to do now? Are you kidding me?”
“sorry.”
I bowed to my waist and apologized. This time, I held the paper envelope out in front of me politely without moving my hands, but for some reason, the man did not take the envelope.
“It’s not like this is child’s play. Are you saying you won’t give me the delivery?”
“I’m not saying I don’t want to give it to you. I’m sorry.”
Since I really didn’t mean to give it to you, I couldn’t think of any excuses. All I could do was apologize and leave.
“Hey, take off your helmet. Let me see your face. I need to call the store to complain.”
“… … .”
In this situation, it would be dangerous to show my face, but it also seemed strange not to take off my helmet in this atmosphere. I had no choice but to raise the visor of my helmet as a last resort.
Still, I was worried that he might recognize my face, so I focused my eyes toward the center with all my might.
“I am truly sorry.”
“Are your eyes swollen… … .”
The man who had been swearing loudly looked into my eyes and suddenly stopped talking.
There was silence in the VIP ward corridor for three seconds. The man suddenly started apologizing, panicking to the point of sweating.
“Oh, sorry, I’m sorry.”
“I’m sorry. I have a crooked eye.”
“No. There. That… … What I said was a mistake. I didn’t know you had eye problems.”
“I should have delivered it properly, I’m sorry. Please don’t call the store to complain.”
“Of course. I’m sorry. I… … I just said that because I was a little offended. I definitely didn’t mean to look down on you.”
“sorry.”
“I’m sorry.”
We held onto each other’s paper bags and kept bending down.
[Still, Jung Bae-hyeok is a good person by nature. Seeing him apologize like that for making a slip of the tongue.]
The man, Jeong Bae-hyeok, only turned around with the paper bag after apologizing for a long time. Only then did I turn around and press the elevator button.
‘Have you found out all the information?’
[yes.]
‘Oh, my eyes hurt. I’m going through all this trouble to investigate.’
* * *
As I came down to the lobby, Wi Jun-woo approached me as if he had been waiting for me.
“Have you met Kwon Jin-goo? What was he like?”
“We met. I couldn’t even go into the sickroom. Entrance cut.”
“Is this an entrance cut?”
“Secretary Kwon Jin-gu personally came out to the elevator and carried it away.”
“no way.”
Wi Jun-woo grumbled with a face that looked like Kim Seon-da.
“What is this? I went through all that trouble to disguise you and even buy you a helmet. But you haven’t even seen Kwon Jin-gu’s nose?”
“Oh, it’s too early to be disappointed.”
“You said you couldn’t even go to the hospital room. Did you find out anything?”
“Of course. Who am I?”
[Isn’t this the one and only AI specialized in law, Aliota, on Earth?]
I tried to show off, but Aliotta beat me to it. Well, I guess I’m the only one who can see it.
“What did you find out?”
“First of all, there wasn’t a single guard in the hallway or the sickroom.”
“In the sickroom too? How did you know that?”
“The staff told me that there are only Kwon Jin-goo and Jung Bae-hyuk in the hospital room.”
“Jeong Bae-hyeok?”
“This is Secretary Kwon Jin-gu. Anyway, the fact that there are no prison guards is suspicious.”
“That’s right. Did you dodge the guard?”
“First of all, that’s against the rules. I think it would be better to call the police. Try calling them.”
“Where to?”
“To Detective So Hae-jin whom I met last time.”
“yes.”
While Wi Jun-woo was making phone calls, I planned the plan in my head.
‘If you can just get rid of Secretary Jeong Bae-hyeok, you can enter the hospital room.’
[That’s right. There are no guards anyway.]
‘If they suddenly barge in, they’ll be able to tell if you’re really sick or just pretending to be.’
Wi Jun-woo came over and hung up the phone.
“I’ll leave right away.”
“Okay. Now it’s our turn.”
“Is it our turn?”
I told the bewildered Wi Jun-woo the plan. Actually, the plan wasn’t anything special. It was just to divert Jung Bae-hyeok’s attention and sneak into the hospital room while he was there.
“This time, the chief and I will go up together. As soon as we enter the sickroom, please take pictures and videos. We need to keep everything as evidence.”
“Yes. But if you have a secretary, can you come in?”
“Don’t worry. The secretary will take care of it.”
“How?”
“Looking at my phone, it seems like that guy Jung Bae-hyeok is having a hard time these days because of the problem of sending his daughter to an English kindergarten.”
Wi Jun-woo looked at me with his mouth wide open.
“You look at a cell phone? No, how did you do that? How did you look at someone else’s cell phone?”
“… … .”
“Have you ever worked in the dark world before? You mean, you secretly took something out, took a peek at it, and then put it back in your pocket?”
Wi Jun-woo looked at my hands and face alternately as if I was some legendary pickpocket.
[Hey. I told you to be careful with your mouth. Why are you spilling it again? What are you going to do now?]
‘Be quiet. I’m thinking of an excuse right now.’
[Hurry up and do this. Look at that face. Any longer and I’ll be accused of being a pickpocket.]
“What are you talking about? How can I just take out my phone and put it back?”
“Right. Someone as slow and clumsy as you, Inspector, wouldn’t have that kind of skill. Then what? How did you see the cell phone?”
“That’s just an idiom. Don’t you know?”
“Is there such an idiom?”
“Aha. I guess you don’t know because it’s an expression that kids these days use. It’s an expression that the MZ generation often uses. I guess it’s because they’re a bit older, right?”
As he spoke, as if giving medicine, Wi Jun-woo’s face turned slightly red.
[Does the MZ generation really use language like that? It’s really hard to keep up.]
‘Are you sure it’s true? Why are you being fooled too?’
[Was that a lie?]
‘of course.’
[Wow, you’re really kidding. You can even fool artificial intelligence.]
What a joke. I was wondering if this was a compliment or an insult when Wi Jun-woo retorted with a red face.
“Are you old? You’re the same age as the inspector?”
“That’s right. Why don’t you know what I already know? You’re a total idiot.”
“Do you think you’re part of the MZ generation just because you know those words? How can someone in their thirties act like they’re young?”
“What should I do? What should I do?”
[Oh, that’s annoying.]
While Wei Jun-woo couldn’t say anything and cursed with his eyes, it was Aliotta who did the real cursing.
What? What do you want me to do?
“Anyway. When I look at the cell phone, what it means is. When I look at it, I take a look. Well, that’s what it means.”
Fortunately, Wi Jun-woo no longer doubted my witty remark and moved on. Perhaps he was discouraged because he didn’t know the MZ generation terminology.
“So, at first glance, it seemed like you were worried about the English kindergarten?”
“Fathers in their 30s have the same concerns. Buying a house, raising children. Aren’t these the two most important?”
“Is that so?”
Wi Jun-woo was still tilting his head, but he pushed ahead anyway.
“Don’t worry about it, I’ll take care of getting rid of Jeong Bae-hyeok. If that doesn’t work out, I’ll do a strip show.”
“… … .”
A determined expression appeared on Wei Jun-woo’s face as he quietly looked at me.
“Don’t worry. I’ll do whatever it takes to get you out of here before it gets to that point.”
“Chief. Is it really that bad? That’s a bit much.”
“Don’t blind people for no reason.”
“Yes. As expected from our team leader. He’s so dependable.”
“Then there is only one problem.”
“Is there another problem?”
“How do I get to the 12th floor this time?”
“Take the elevator?”
“That’s not what I’m asking. I’m saying there’s no reason to go into the ward. The problem isn’t that you can’t avoid the secretary, but that the nurses and staff at the ward station can stop you.”
“Oh, what should I do? Just go up like a deliveryman.”
Wi Jun-woo let out a deep sigh.
“Sometimes, I see that the inspector is really a fool.”
“Me?”
It’s strangely annoying to hear such nonsense from such a nonsensical person.
Wi Jun-woo clicked his tongue and said.
“We already have pig’s feet, pizza, and raw fish. But do you think there will be delivery?”
“It could be.”
“You said there were only two people? Does that make sense? If there’s another delivery, I’ll… … .”
Wi Jun-woo, who was speaking, flared his nostrils and turned his head toward the direction where the fragrant smell of oil was coming from. A chicken deliveryman was walking toward him, carrying a bunch of bags.
‘You’re finally coming.’
[When I looked at Jung Bae-hyeok’s call history earlier, there was a chicken restaurant there too.]
‘So. How many servings are you ordering?’
“If there’s another delivery, the manager… …? What were you trying to say? What, were you trying to support the market? Or were you trying to change your last name?”
Wi Jun-woo, who was flustered, quickly collected his words.
“No. I was going to say that I would be very happy and relieved if there was another delivery. When I looked at my phone, I saw that it was also 1212.”
“yes?”
“I looked at my phone.”
“ah.”
Wi Jun-woo was using the fake MZ terminology I had told him. I had forgotten it too.
Wow, our Wi Jun-woo. You’re good at using the words you’ve learned.
… … .
If you use it somewhere else, you’ll get ostracized.
[Fortunately or unfortunately, it seems like there’s no use for it other than in Hyeon-gwang.]
I felt a mixture of pity and sadness for Wi Jun-woo and a mixture of apology and sadness as I approached the chicken delivery man.
“Did you deliver to room 1212?”
…
Wi Jun-woo and I got off the elevator, sharing a bag of chicken. Since I had already been here once, I hid behind Wi Jun-woo, and Wi Jun-woo came forward and spoke.
“Delivery has arrived for room 1212.”
“Please wait a moment.”
When the employee called, Jeong Bae-hyeok came out from the room at the end of the hallway. He approached us, paid the bill, and extended his hand to Wi Jun-woo.
“Please give it to me.”
“This is a lot, so it’ll be hard to carry it by yourself.”
“it’s okay.”
‘Aliotta. Now!’
[okay!]
When the cell phone rang, Jeong Bae-hyeok, who was about to receive a bag of chicken, apologized for a moment and quickly answered the phone.
“Hello? Yes. Oh, really? That’s good. Oh, right now? Oh, is now the only time you have?”
Jung Bae-hyeok looked back at us with a troubled look. Wi Jun-woo, who was quick-witted, thought this was the moment and quickly spoke.
“We will deliver the chicken to room 1212. Don’t worry, just pick up the phone.”
“Oh, that would be great. Just go inside and leave it on the table.”
“yes.”
“Oh, yes. I didn’t hang up. Yes. There’s a vacancy there right now?”
[Yes, Father. You know that our English kindergarten is very famous, right? The waiting line for admission is usually very long, but you are really lucky.]
Aliotta continued the parent-teacher conference with one nostril blocked and a raised tone. When I looked at Jeong Bae-hyeok’s cell phone, I saw that he had called several times to send his daughter to ‘Ace English Kindergarten’ and was also in a group chat for ‘Sending Children to English Kindergartens’.
Aliotta used her ability to make phone calls to call Jeong Bae-hyeok as if she were at ‘Ace English Kindergarten’. All she had to do was buy time until we could go into the hospital room and figure out the situation.
‘You can do it, right, Aliotta?’
Aliotta continued her squeaky voice, holding up her thumb.
[Father, if you miss this opportunity now, you will have another chance next year. Don’t you know that time is gold at your daughter’s age? It is very important to learn English at a young age.]
How does that guy know this about AI?
Anyway, Wi Junwoo and I safely reached the end of the hallway. In front of room 1212. Wi Junwoo quickly took out his phone and prepared to film. I raised my hand and knocked on the door.
dripping.
Knock knock.
“The chicken is here.”
Are you ready to die, kid?
