Episode 68: Life is a one-shot
I kept nagging at Kwon Jin-gu to provoke him.
“Let’s see. If bribery and obstruction of official duties are added to the existing 12-year sentence, how many more years will I have to live? Are you trying to fill your time in prison?”
Kwon Jin-goo, who was listening to me, pursed his lips until they turned white. Then he nodded and called Jung Bae-hyeok. When Jung Bae-hyeok quickly approached, Kwon Jin-goo looked at me and Wi Jun-woo and said.
“Can I talk to the secretary over there for a moment?”
“Okay, then.”
As if to tell him to do as he pleased, Kwon Jin-goo took Jung Bae-hyeok inside the hospital room. It was a VIP room, so it was quite spacious and he was able to keep some distance from us.
It was rather far from the hospital room entrance, and it was on the 12th floor, so it was not possible to suddenly jump out the window.
Still, I kept watching the two of them. They glanced in my direction, then put their heads together and started whispering quietly.
‘What are you two saying?’
[wait a minute.]
Chichijik. When Aliota tuned in, she could hear their conversation.
– Inspector, who is that? Didn’t you say you stabbed that person too?
– yes.
– Who was coming here?
– Prosecutor Kang Jin-gyu is coming.
– But why did that guy suddenly pop out?
– I don’t know. Prosecutor Kim Kyung-soo said he clearly told the prosecutor who was going to be there for the inspection.
– Are you really not going to do your job properly? Like that guy said, how much money do you get for doing this kind of work?
– Sorry. I didn’t expect another test to come out.
– That’s the only thing he does. Can’t you tell just by looking at him?
– Money… you mean?
– Yeah. I guess he’s asking why he didn’t give it to me when he gave it to all the other inspectors.
– ah.
– Somehow. You said you were talking about money earlier. Hey, shit. Go out there and stab me for a while.
– yes.
The two men who had finished their mockery came back to us. Kwon Jin-gu sat on the bed with his mouth hanging open, probably because he was upset at the thought of being ripped off. Jeong Bae-hyeok came over to us and bowed his head politely.
“We did not know Prosecutor Do Hyeon-gwang and were very rude when meeting him.”
“I’m sorry.”
“I hope you give us a chance to correct our mistakes.”
Wi Jun-woo, who had been listening to that and remaining silent, snorted.
“Look here. Are you going to bribe us too right now?”
“Please consider it as a small gesture of goodwill rather than a bribe.”
“Really? Do you think that money is everything in this world?”
“Yes. Money can buy anything.”
“yes?”
The last words were mine. Money can do anything. Wi Jun-woo’s eyes grew so wide that they almost popped out, as if he didn’t know I would say those words.
“What are you saying, Inspector?”
“That’s exactly right. What more can you say? Is there anything in this world that money can’t buy? You can buy education, a job, and fame.”
“No, what… … .”
I smiled at Wi Jun-woo, who was looking at me with a shocked expression.
“You can buy the inspector too, right, sir?”
“That’s right, that’s right. As expected, since you’re an actor, you can communicate well.”
Unlike Kwon Jin-goo, who was laughing heartily, Wi Jun-woo was glaring at me with an expression of disappointment and betrayal.
‘Wi Jun-woo, you totally fooled me?’
[Thanks to that, I think Kwon Jin-goo and Jung Bae-hyuk have completely fallen for it.]
Yes. In order to deceive the enemy, you have to deceive your own side first.
Wi Jun-woo, shoot.
Wi Jun-woo shouted at me with a scary face.
“Inspector!”
“Oh, my ear is ringing. Why?”
“You can’t do this, inspector.”
“Why shouldn’t I do this?”
“Aren’t you trying to get money from those people right now?”
I straightened my face and looked at Wi Jun-woo.
“Money? You are being too talkative.”
“yes?”
“I accept the small kindness they show me. It is not right for a person to ignore such kindness.”
“… … .”
Wi Jun-woo looked at me with a hurt expression. Kwon Jin-goo, who was sitting on the bed and watching us, clapped his hands.
“Wow. As expected, our inspector knows a thing or two. Secretary Jeong.”
“yes.”
Jeong Bae-hyeok lowered his head slightly and looked at me.
“Would one sheet be enough?”
“One sheet? Ten million won?”
“yes.”
“Oh my. You said it was a small castle, but it really is too small. Who would want to put ten million won in it?”
“Then, three? Five?”
As I still kept my mouth shut and had a displeased expression on my face, Jeong Bae-hyeok spoke carefully.
“Inspector. There is also the matter of fairness with others. Any amount larger than this… … .”
“Is that all I’m worth to you, sir?”
I pointed to Wi Jun-woo, who was standing next to me.
“I have to work while keeping people’s mouths shut, and it’s only five sheets?”
Jeong Bae-hyeok opened his mouth carefully.
“……seven?”
“You have to give me one hundred million.”
All three of them, except me, looked at me with surprised expressions.
“Hey. Why are you so surprised? Then you tried to buy me for an amount that wouldn’t even buy you a car? And, this is a kind of investment, an investment. I’ll be an inspector for the next year or two, right? Right?”
[Oh. What an expensive car you’re driving.]
‘In times like this, you just pretend to be strong.’
Kwon Jin-gu didn’t say anything because the amount was larger than expected. Well, if you raise the amount for me, other prosecutors might ask for more.
I guess I’ll have to give it some rain.
“Your Majesty, Ms. Ramin.”
“Why, Mijin?”
“Mr. Ramy Jin is also registered as an outside director of Samgu Construction. He is currently under investigation on charges of embezzlement. His father, Mr. Kwon Dong-seon, the president, was also found not guilty of embezzlement, but is currently in the first trial on charges of tax evasion.”
I stared blankly at Kwon Jin-goo.
“Won’t there be a lot of cases where you’ll need help with inspections in the future?”
“… … .”
“Or just leave it alone. Later, you can have a family reunion in prison and say, ‘Thanks to the sword, we all came together.’”
Kwon Jin-goo, who had been staring at me for a while, finally nodded to Jeong Bae-hyeok. Jeong Bae-hyeok hesitated for a moment before opening his mouth.
“Director. One hundred million is a large sum of money… … .”
“… … Okay. Send it there.”
“yes.”
As soon as Kwon Jin-goo gave his approval, Jeong Bae-hyeok quickly took out his cell phone.
‘Are you hacking that?’
[Of course. Since I already hacked it earlier, there’s no problem looking into it.]
‘Take pictures of everything. No, show them to me.’
[Old story!]
Aliotta brought Jeong Bae-hyeok’s cell phone screen right into my sight. As soon as I saw the overseas account he was looking at, I shouted.
“Okay, stop! That’s it!”
“yes?”
“I won’t accept money.”
“yes?”
‘Did you save all the accounts that are floating there?’
[Yes. I found out all the login information!]
‘Okay. Let’s give it a try.’
Isn’t that what I’ve been working so hard for, trying to find out that information?
“I thought about it and decided that I shouldn’t accept such dirty money. I can’t afford to tarnish my clean reputation.”
“It’s the inspector! I was really surprised.”
Wi Jun-woo cleared his throat with a relieved expression. However, Kwon Jin-goo and Jeong Bae-hyeok looked worn out.
“Inspector, please don’t do that.”
“아닙니다. 돈 받아 처먹는 놈들 제가 그렇게 욕했는데, 저도 개새끼가 될 수는 없죠.”
“100 million is a lot of money. It’s money that goes straight into your pocket without even deducting taxes.”
“Oh my. Why are you making such a fuss over just 100 million?”
[That’s true. With just 100 million.]
‘How much money did you say would be deposited into my account?’
[It’s less than 7 billion.]
‘Kukkiakya~! Life is like one room at a time.’
At that time, the paper that Sung Jun-ho’s aunt gave him in front of the court. The lottery ticket purchased with that number won first prize. A whopping 10.3 billion won! It’s the highest amount in recent years.
At first, I was a bit confused as to whether I could receive such a large sum of money. But when I thought about it, what I received from my aunt wasn’t money, it was just a piece of paper. It was just a series of numbers with no meaning.
Since no one knew that it would be a winning ticket, it wasn’t really a bribe. So, I decided to swallow the money with peace of mind.
Although he hasn’t claimed his winnings yet, Aliotta said it will be close to 7 billion after taxes.
[7 billion? At least I don’t have to worry about being swayed by such a petty bribe.]
‘Oh, what do you think of me? Even if my bank account is empty, I’m not the type of person to be swayed by bribes.’
[But it’s true that it’s much easier to refuse, right?]
That was true, so I didn’t really say anything. If my bank account was empty, I had a sick mother, and I had children who were eating up my education, I might have been a bit worried.
I don’t have any family members. Now that I have 7 billion won sitting in my bank account, I think I can do whatever I want from now on.
Just as Kwon Jin-gu was about to say something, the door to the hospital room opened abruptly. When he turned around, Lieutenant Lee Mi-yeon and Detective So Hae-jin had just come in. Behind them, several police officers in police uniforms were also visible.
“You came at a good time.”
Although I greeted her warmly, Lieutenant Im Yeon approached me with a cold expression.
“Hmm. Officer, did you eat something wrong? Your face looks like this.”
“Inspector. Just call 112 to report this. We’re not your personal security guards. Why are you calling Haejin?”
“Because that’s the fastest.”
“If you call 112, they will connect you to the relevant authorities.”
“So, isn’t this the jurisdiction of the dog?”
No, I mean the police. They’re going to make a fuss if I report the incident?
“Are we dogs that come running to you when you are called by the inspector? If there is anything illegal, please report it formally.”
“So I officially reported it to detective So Hae-jin.”
“Okay. From now on, don’t call Haejin.”
“Then should I tell the inspector directly?”
Lieutenant Im Yeon crossed her arms with a cold expression, perhaps feeling provoked by my words. I did not back down and immediately crossed my arms as well.
‘What? I’m not a bully. You told me not to call my child.’
[I think he cherishes So Hae-jin a lot. I guess he doesn’t like his junior being called around by the prosecutors.]
‘You don’t have to make excuses, though.’
While I and Detective Im Ji-yeon were glaring at each other, Detective So Hae-jin stepped forward with a friendly smile. He looked very blunt, but he seemed surprisingly friendly.
“Hey, Senior Miyeon. Here you go again. I told you I’m fine. How have you been, Inspector?”
He left Detective Im Ji-yeon alone, who was having trouble communicating, and asked Detective So Hae-jin a question.
“What happened to the guards?”
“First, we took them all to the police station. It was a violation of work regulations. This person here.”
“As you can see, Mr. Kwon Jin-gu’s right arm and back are fine. He said he was sick and went to an outside hospital to receive treatment, and he applied for a stay of execution of sentence, but it was all a lie.”
“is it so?”
Detective So Hae-jin looked Kwon Jin-goo up and down. I quickly gestured to Wi Jun-woo.
“Chief. You see the video I shot earlier? Please show me that.”
I picked up the phone that Wi Jun-woo had given me and started playing the video I had just taken. Detective So Hae-jin and Inspector Lee Mi-yeon came over to me and watched it with me.
“Here, look at this. Those fancy hand movements. Is this a person with a paralyzed right arm? His LoL rank seems higher than mine. And here, here! That move where he avoids our chief’s punch! If you have a herniated disc, you can’t do this.”
“Yes, that’s right. Since we have confirmed the false statement, we will arrest you immediately.”
“Wow. Manager, did you exercise?”
In response to detective So Hae-jin’s question, Wi Jun-woo suddenly straightened his shoulders and thrust his chest forward.
“I am a black belt in Judo, Taekwondo, and Jiu-Jitsu.”
“Oh, I did some judo too. Come to think of it, I have arms too. Do you go to the gym?”
“Yes. You too, Detective?”
“Oh, of course. How many times do you hit 3?”
“Detective So. Hae. Jin!”
While the conversation between the two was going on for a while, Lieutenant Im Yeon-i called Detective So Hae-jin.
“yes?”
“Please don’t go somewhere else and extradite the criminal.”
“Oh, yes.”
Detective So Hae-jin quickly approached Kwon Jin-gu with handcuffs.
“Mr. Kwon Jin-goo, I will arrest you on emergency grounds on charges of obstruction of official duties.”
“No, wait a minute. Let go. I said this isn’t right. Secretary Jeong! Do something about this!”
Jin-goo Kwon tried to jump over the bed to avoid being caught, but Detective So Hae-jin easily flew over and subdued Jin-goo Kwon in one breath, handcuffing him.
“Oh, don’t pull it out. Look at that waist spinning around. As expected, the discs are all bullshit, huh?”
Jin-gu Kwon glared at me, breathing heavily in anger.
Relax your eyes, you little punk.
It’s not over yet.
This time, the fines will be confiscated.
