Episode 584

It takes about 10 minutes to get from the main gate to the Ribbon Medical Center building without any obstructions.

Forests stretched out on both sides of the cleanly cleaned uphill road.

We had just passed the main gate, but the scenery wasn’t much different from the driveway.

Inside, no movement or sound was detected, as if the police raid was not noticed.

I think from a police standpoint, they shouldn’t use illegal means, but certainly, without jammers and CCTV hacking, this situation would have been unthinkable.

As you pass the upper curve of the road, you come into view of the security guards who are circling the building.

Lee Jin-woo looked around for a moment, then gestured toward Kyung-soo Jo.

Parsasasak.

The entire force of the career entered the forest, weaving through the trees.

If you climb up here, you can raid from a point closer to the building.

This is because the landscaping in the satellite photos extended from the front to the back of the building.

“It is 10:37.”

Heo Min-woo said while checking the time.

There are 23 minutes left until 11 o’clock.

There will be another fight with the security guards in front of the Ribbon Medical Center building.

And since that was a place where even if they blocked the radio and phone, if they screamed they would be heard inside the building, they would also stop preparing for the surgery from then on.

“We will be near the building in 8 minutes.”

Lee Jin-woo answered.

They ran through the forest for another eight minutes.

“… … .”

The runners, who had been running in a straight line through the trees, lowered their bodies along with Jinwoo Lee, who was in the lead, as he lowered his body and extended his hand.

It was the end of the forest.

From here on out, there were flower beds planted with short trees and flowers.

“Let’s turn off the jammer and check the situation at the back door.”

Lee Jin-woo said to Heo Min-woo.

Originally, during the operational meeting, it was decided that the jammer would remain on until it was within sight and hearing range of the people inside the building.

But fortunately, since we entered through the forest, there was no friction with security personnel while moving.

Lee Jin-woo seemed to think that the back gate would also enter the forest with the same judgment as the front gate, turn off the jammer, and attempt communication.

Although it was different from previous operations, their judgment was likely correct due to their extensive field experience.

As Heo Min-woo nodded, Lee Jin-woo turned off the jammer and pressed the radio headset button.

“One entry, one support. Wait behind the flower bed at the 4 o’clock position of this building. Two entry, two support, please transmit.”

He checked the time while waiting for the radio transmission.

“One entry, one support. Wait behind the flower bed at the 4 o’clock position of this building. Two entry, two support, please transmit.”

Lee Jin-woo spoke in a low voice after another radio transmission.

“We will attempt to communicate for one minute and enter if there is no response.”

Lee Jin-woo sent two more radio transmissions after that.

And then the answer came back with about 10 seconds left in the 1-minute time limit.

─Two applicants for entry, two applicants for resubmission.

“One entry, one support. Wait behind the flower bed at the 4 o’clock position of this building. Over.”

─Entry two, support two. Wait behind the flower bed at the 10 o’clock direction of this building.

“Support one, three people remain at the main entrance. Support two, please report to the exclusion.”

─Support 2 people, 2 people remaining at the exit, no exceptions.

“All security personnel at the main entrance have been arrested. Please report the situation at the secondary entrance.”

─All security personnel at the entrance and exit have been arrested.

Lee Jin-woo sent a radio request to the other groups to report, and all the standby groups reported the situation in turn.

Everything is fine.

Lee Jin-woo checked the security guards visible between the trees.

And the guards patrolling near the building waited for them to move further away from the entrance.

When they arrived at the 8 o’clock position of the building, they sent a radio transmission.

“One entry, one support, waiting to enter the entrance at 6 o’clock. Enter after the signal. Except for the experience of subduing the resistance personnel, you can enter right inside.”

─Receive. When the signal for entry is 2, enter the entrance at 11 o’clock.

A response came back immediately.

“Operation commenced. Answer omitted.”

Lee Jin-woo sent a signal to his men at the same time as the radio.

In an instant, the entire force ran across the flower bed and toward the building entrance.

“police…….”

“Patrol team! The nest is empty!”

One of the guards who first spotted the police quickly radioed in, and the guards who had been scattered nearby also ran toward the entrance.

“But why the hell didn’t those guys at the main gate say anything when the salty fish showed up?!”

“Stop it for now!”

“They said you came in through the back door too?”

“There was no word from the control room either, but what is this… … .”

By the time six guards had blocked the entrance, Kyung-ryung had also arrived at the entrance.

At the same time, the lights in the building were turned off.

It was a primary measure to impede police entry.

“This is an illegal organ trade and murder scene. If you stop the police now, does that mean you’re an accomplice? Or get out.”

The guard shouted at Heo Min-woo’s words.

“Show me the warrant first! Otherwise, I can’t… … .”

Then Lee Jin-woo laughed in vain.

That bastard’s warrant, his warrant.

“Get in!”

Only the pre-deployed siege team remained to capture those escaping from the building, and the entire force quickly pushed through the guards and entered the building.

When I turned on the lamp on my tactical helmet, the interior, which had previously only been lit by the green emergency exit light, became much brighter.

Tata-tata-tak.

A lot of footsteps could be heard coming from the stairwell.

The standoff lasted just over a minute, but it seemed to be enough to buy the guards inside time to come out for reinforcements.

“There’s going to be a lot of resistance! Run to the stairs!”

The entire staff ran towards the stairwell.

“It’s 10:49 now. When we heard the surprise attack inside, So-eun must have at least come out of her sickroom and was on her way to the operating room!”

Heo Min-woo shouted.

The wards are on the second floor, and the operating rooms are on the third basement floor.

And each secret passage is located on the 2nd and 3rd basement levels.

Since it would take an hour for anesthesia and two hours for the heart extraction, Onodera’s grandson would have been waiting in the hospital room on the second floor.

But the first goal is to rescue So-eun.

Now is not the time to share careers.

“The operating room is on the third basement level! The secret passageways are all underground as well!”

“The detective and I will look at the third basement floor together.”

It was about two minutes ago that the guards on patrol reported the police raid internally.

Even if they were preparing for anesthesia, the doctors would have escaped through a secret passage on the third basement floor, which was close to the operating room.

Even if they had known about the police raid, they probably wouldn’t have known that even the secret passage had been taken over.

We will soon catch Lim Hyeon-il in an outside atmosphere.

What would Soeun have done?

There is a high possibility that they will try to evade it, as they need to minimize the evidence of the crime.

Then there must have been a lot of guards on the 3rd basement floor.

They would have also rushed to that side to support the evacuation of Onodera and his mother, who were waiting in the sickroom.

Since they would have tried to guide us to the secret passage anyway, if we’re lucky, Onodera and his mother might be underground as well.

“Everyone, go down to the basement, four of you go to the second basement level, and the rest of you search the secret passage on the third floor!”

When he arrived at the stairwell, Jinwoo Lee pressed the radio headset button.

“Enter one, enter the basement through the right stairwell. Enter two. Some of you should go up to the control room and identify the location of Park So-eun and the target, and the rest should go to the basement to assist. The targets are also expected to be in the basement.”

The CCTV footage I checked the whole way here had the lights on.

This means that only the lighting power was cut off, not the entire building’s power.

The aim is to confirm the police’s location through CCTV and secure a safe escape route.

─Receive. Enter the basement through the two left stairwells.

A response came back quickly.

The agents ran down the stairs three steps at a time.

In a matter of seconds, I passed the first basement level and ran towards the second basement level.

Thud, thud, thud, thud.

At that moment, it seemed as if numerous footsteps were heard in the stairwell, and then a loud noise resonated.

“Stop it!”

As soon as the police officers stepped onto the stairs between the basement and the second floor, guards came swarming from the basement and the second floor.

They all had weapons in their hands.

It was quite brutal.

They were deadly blunt weapons and weapons such as iron pipes and knives.

The men in the front and the men in the back raised their shields toward the guards.

“These kids are crazy.”

Heo Min-woo muttered with a hollow laugh.

In 21st century South Korea, they are systematically threatening the police with weapons.

They kept RND, the operator of Ribbon Medical Center, a secret, and even told us that it was an overseas corporation.

If they were caught, they probably intended to treat it as human trafficking by an overseas criminal organization.

You could tell just by looking at the guards’ impressions and the tattoos visible between their shirt sleeves.

Even if the medical staff from Wooshin were caught, if they were said to have been hired by an overseas criminal organization, wouldn’t it just be treated as a personal problem among the medical staff at a large hospital?

It means that even if it is difficult, they will try to prevent the leaders from becoming known.

It is surprising that they were prepared to this extent in such a situation, even though they probably didn’t know that the information about the Ushindo Ribbon Medical Center or human trafficking had leaked.

“Armed men found on the landing between the first basement floor and the second floor. Please send us information on whether you can assist.”

─Entry 2, same thing. Support is not possible.

The same thing seemed to be happening in the opposite stairwell.

“Go through it!”

At Lee Jin-woo’s command, the special forces holding shields began to push back the people coming up.

“Ugh! Ugh!”

“Ouch!”

The guards standing on the stairs to the second basement level fell over due to the wind, temporarily causing the formation to collapse.

“Keep pushing, keep pushing!”

Boom, boom! Boom!

A dull sound rang out as shields and bulletproof helmets were hit by the blunt weapons swung by the guards coming down from the basement level.

“Gas gun!”

One of the agents shouted loudly, and at the same time, the agents holding the shields quickly covered their breathing apparatus.

Chewy!

As tear gas was fired, the guards wielding swords momentarily pulled their heads back and shut their eyes tightly.

“Taser!”

Chi-chik!

“What are those hospital security guards wearing on their thighs?”

The agent shouted in exasperation as he fired his taser gun at the guards’ thighs while the shield defended against the guards pushing down from behind.

“No calves, no calves!”

Then another member shouted.

Chi-chik!

The taser fired again, implanting an electrode into the guard’s calf.

Then, the guard’s body became stiff as a rock and he fell forward.

The men pushed him upwards, supporting his body with their shields.

Then, the guards who were jumping down stepped on or tripped over the fallen man’s torso and lost their balance.

“My calves are empty!”

The agent turned his head to briefly check the situation below and shouted loudly.

Jinwoo Lee, who was going down while pushing away the guards coming up, immediately took out his taser and aimed it at the guards’ calves.

Chi-chik!

The ranks of those coming up from below were temporarily broken by the guards who lost their balance after being pushed by the fallen guards and shields.

“Keep going!”

The police didn’t miss that opportunity.

I pushed on like that and arrived at the door on the second basement floor.

Some careers have quickly moved into the second basement level.

The guards tried to enter the emergency exit on the second basement floor together to prevent this, but the last agent to enter pushed the guard away and grabbed the emergency exit door handle.

“Stop it, fucking shit!”

One guard stuck his foot through the crack in the door and put his weight on the door to stop it from closing.

Then another guard put his sword-wielding hand through the crack of the door and swung it threateningly as if to stab him.

“Ahh!”

The commando grabbed the blade with his gloved hand and struck the guard’s wrist hard.

Chae Jae-jaeng!

As the cleaver fell to the floor and the guard reflexively pulled his hand away, the emergency exit door closed.

“In order to block out any interference, the emergency exit on the second basement floor of the right staircase is blocked. If you wish to apply for additional careers, please enter the left staircase or transmit in advance.”

The agents who finished the radio transmission began searching the second basement level.

Meanwhile, the rest of the crew, including Heo Min-woo and Lee Jin-woo, were being pushed down to the third basement floor, where there was an operating room and two secret passageways.

I wonder how many replacement guards they hired. There were more than a few people rolling around on the floor, but there were still a lot of guards pushing their way up from the third basement level.

“be careful!”

Swords swung between the shields.

I didn’t even feel any pain, but my clothes were soaked with blood and stuck to my skin, as if I had been cut by the blades they were swinging around indiscriminately.

Heo Min-woo checked the time.

The current time is 10:56.

It was about time for people who had escaped through the secret passage to come out through the exit.

─Three on standby, two medical staff arrested. None of them are the main targets.

Just then, a radio transmission came in from the waiting room.

It seemed that the two people who escaped through the secret passage first came out.

─One person on standby, two medical staff arrested. No main target.

News came one after another.

It seemed like the medical staff gathered in the operating room to anesthetize So-eun were being caught one by one.

It seems that they all escaped through the secret passages on the 2nd and 3rd basement floors, but there was no news of Lim Hyeon-il and Onodera, who were expected to be the first to escape.

The fact that there is no word from the siege squad means that he is still inside the hospital.

It was clear that they had sent others out first to check if the secret passage was safe, as they had no idea how far the police had spread.

We must begin the search as soon as possible.

What if they kill So-eun to prevent her from testifying because they think there is no chance of her escaping?

The more pressure they feel and the longer they spend worrying, the more uncertain So-eun’s safety becomes.

Those who run away can be caught by the outside waiting team and the surrounding soldiers, but if So-eun dies, it’s over.

I can’t spend any time here.

“I will fire a warning shot.”

Heo Min-woo picked up the pistol he had on his waist.

And then, without hesitation, he raised his gun towards the ceiling.

Taang!

A gunshot so loud it felt like it would rip open our eardrums that it shook the emergency exit.

The guards instinctively covered their ears, and Lee Jin-woo took advantage of this momentum and kicked them through the shields, knocking them over.

“Keep going!”

Before I knew it, I had reached the door on the third basement floor where the green emergency exit light was shining.

All remaining personnel went down to the third basement level and locked the emergency exit door.

“Over there!”

Lee Jin-woo shouted as he turned to the right.

As soon as you receive word from those who went through the secret passage that it is safe, you must wait at the entrance to the secret passage to extract So-eun.

The third basement floor is shaped like a long alphabet H.

The emergency exit is on the horizontal line, and the secret passage is on either end of the vertical line on the right.

Everyone ran towards the hallway where the secret passage was.

“There is no sign of popularity.”

The third basement floor hallway, with the lights off, was as quiet as if not a single ant had been around.

“Is the control room there yet?”

Heo Min-woo asked.

“Enter two, report on whether control room has been taken over.”

As soon as Lee Jin-woo sent a radio message, a response came back immediately.

─Fire shutters have been put up on both sides of the 3rd floor control room. The linkage controller is also not working, so it will take some time to take control.

“How long will it take?”

─It takes about 10 minutes.

Lee Jin-woo shared the radio message with Heo Min-woo, and Heo Min-woo let out a short sigh.

Until we take control of the control room, we have no choice but to search from the secret passageway.

“It’s been about ten minutes since Ribbon Medical Center noticed the police raid. It should have been a while since they first contacted the people who escaped through the secret passage, but there was no contact, and the police were coming down underground, so they probably decided to hide until they secured an escape route. There were a few secret areas that were only visible on the blueprints. If they were going to hide, that’s where they would be.”

Heo Min-woo spread out the design drawings and checked the location.

Meanwhile, we arrived at a hallway with a secret passage.

The agents immediately split into two ends and ran towards each secret passage.

Heo Min-woo stopped for a moment, looked around, then fixed his gaze straight ahead.

“There’s a space between the two secret passages. Here, behind this vending machine, I think.”

Heo Min-woo looked up at the vending machine after comparing the drawing with the current location.

“I will push.”

As Lee Jin-woo started to push the vending machine to the side, Heo Min-woo also joined in.

Even though the vending machine was heavy, it strangely didn’t budge at all.

“Why is it like this… … .”

─This is the operations headquarters.

At that moment, Cha Ju-han’s voice flowed out from Lee Jin-woo’s radio headset.

─There is a handle on the left side of the vending machine. Press it even without a key and the handle will come out. Open it. Please send it after completing the task.

I decided not to ask how he knew or gave instructions.

Lee Jin-woo opened the vending machine as Cha Ju-han said.

The vending machine was just a disguise, as a large, heavy door resembling a safe was revealed before my eyes.

Lee Jin-woo grabbed the round handle on the door with both hands and turned it.

It didn’t move at all.

“The vending machine is open and I found the door. But it won’t open. I see something like a keypad next to it. It looks like I need to put a card or enter a password to open it. Please transmit.”

─The password is 4296. There is Soeun and a guard inside. The guard is holding a weapon. It may be dangerous, so please apply for another career. That’s all.
