“Head Manager Park Jangwon's subordinate, Assistant Manager Jo Youngkwang.”

Hyunsoo, standing in front of the officetel, was sorting out the case while waiting for Police Officer Kim Yoojoon.

The case where Head Manager Park Jangwon filed a whistleblower complaint was the case in which a worker who died due to poor construction was reported missing. Due to the whistleblowing, Head Manager Park Jangwon fell out of sight of Sangma Construction President Seo Jinsang, and eventually…….

“Might have been murdered disguised as suicide…….”

In the scenes that crossed his mind, it was what the secretary said. Hyunsoo, who was rolling his eyes, turned his wrist to check his watch.

:55 P.M.

The remaining time until sunset was approximately 1 hour. The place where Assistant Manager Jo Youngkwang was kidnapped was the parking lot of Sangma Construction.

‘I won't be able to stop it anyway.…….’

The things that passed through his head were inevitable. However, the purpose of the kidnappers who kidnap Assistant Manager Jo Youngkwang seemed to be murder.

‘Maybe I can stop him from dying.’

He couldn't just watch the kidnapped Assistant Manager Jo Youngkwang die.

Hyunsoo's mind became complicated about saving Assistant Manager Jo Youngkwang and catching President Seo Jinsang and his party.

Then.

Hyunsoo's cell phone rang.

-Inspector-nim, I'm here!

Hyunsoo, looking around, raised his hand toward the other side.

“Over here!”

At that time, a fancy Korean restaurant.

In the VIP room located at the far end, the chief of the Sangji Police Station who investigated the suicide of Head Manager Park was sitting face to face with a man in his 30s.

“……No, that guy Seo Jinsang truly crosses the line. Anyway, those guys can't get rid of their gangster spirit no matter where they sit. No wonder background can decide a person’s character.”

The man with plump cheeks munching with food in his mouth was Lee Yoonjae, the president of Daesang Construction.

“I'm going to take this opportunity to make sure he can't even straighten his back in front of me. You must have had a hard time controlling your subordinates' mouths because of the suicide of the head manager or something, I'm sorry for this.”

“No, I do whatever President-nim wants.”

Lee Yoonjae, who was nodding to the chief's words, raised his head.

“But I'm saying this because I don't know, can he rot for a long time in a prison with such an incident?”

“Well, it depends on the case…….”

The chief put down his chopsticks and continued.

“In the case of Sangma Construction, there is a high possibility that the entire property of President Seo will be seized. If that happens…….”

“I don't think he'll be released by paying the prosecution.”

“Yes, maybe. He will receive a proper punishment, and it will not be a sentence that will be released after a few Olympics.”

Lee Yoonjae turned to the food again with a look of relief. Looking at him like that, the chief continued.magic

“Then I'll start the investigation right away, and I'll release all the data I've collected to the media and proceed with an open investigation at the same time…….”

It was then.

The cell phone in the chief's pocket began to ring loudly.

“Take it.”

“Ah, yes. Excuse me for a moment.”

The chief answered the phone in a hurry. Then.

“What……? Who's investigating? Where? Seoul Metropolitan……?”The chief frowned.

At that time.

Hyunsoo was heading somewhere in a car with Police Officer Kim Yoojoon.

“Really?!”

Police Officer Kim Yoojoon, who was sitting in the passenger seat, looked at Hyunsoo with his eyes wide open.

“One of the workers died in a poor construction accident, but Sangma Construction covered it because they didn't want to deal with it, and they said that the worker was missing?!”

Hyunsoo nodded while holding the steering wheel.

“Uh, Head Manager Park Jangwon, knowing that fact, filed a whistleblower complaint with the Board of Audit and Inspection. Of course, Sangma Construction, which had connections with the Board of Audit and Inspection, was not punished.”

“Aren't those guys devils?!”

“If you don't play even a small role properly, this tragic event will happen.”

At the time when Police Officer Kim Yoojoon nodded with his fist clenched, saying that they must catch such devilish people.

The car stopped. The stop was in front of Seoul Station.

“That's enough, so get off now.”

At Hyunsoo's words, Police Officer Kim Yoojoon quickly opened the door and got out of the car.

“So I just need to get the evidence right away?”

When Kim Yoojoon spoke through the open window, Hyunsoo nodded.

“Uh. Do you remember the number?”

“Number 43, password 0101, right?”

“That's right, and in case someone comes, bring it out as soon as possible.”

“But, Inspector-nim…… How do you know this? You don't even know that Assistant Manager Jo.”

“It's just, I have that kind of ability.”

“What…… kind of ability?”

When Police Officer Kim Yoojoon looked down, Hyunsoo raised the window.

“Don't be curious, you'll get hurt. Anyway, go quickly.”

Hyunsoo, who finished raising the window, started the car. After that, Police Officer Kim Yoojoon raised his voice.

“Yes! Be careful!”

“Where? Okay. No, you can take your time. Nobody knows it's there anyway.”

Late at night, an abandoned factory on the outskirts of Seoul.

Inside the empty abandoned factory, Assistant Manager Jo Youngkwang with his limbs tied, President Seo Jinsang's secretary and his hired men were standing.

The secretary was on the phone with someone while looking at Assistant Manager Jo Youngkwang.

“So don't rush, check it out and bring it back, okay? Yeah, yeah.”

After the call, the secretary lowered his cell phone. At that time, the factory door opened and President Seo Jinsang walked in.

“President-nim.”

The secretary and the young men bowed toward President Seo Jinsang.

“Aiya, our Secretary Lee is doing a good job.”

President Seo Jinsang approached the secretary and put a hand on his shoulder.

“I'm sorry I was angry last time, I have some anger management problems. But you know I think a lot about Secretary Lee, right?”“Thank you!”

President Seo Jinsang, who had been tapping his secretary on the shoulder, moved on. Then, he stood in front of Assistant Manager Jo Youngkwang, who was being held.

“Assistant Manager Jo Youngkwang, right?”

Assistant Manager Jo Youngkwang, who had already been beaten several times by the thugs, glared at President Seo Jinsang with open eyes.

“What's the point of staring at me like that? Even if you beg for help, it won't be enough.”

“……Did President-nim really kill Head Manager Park Jangwon-nim?”

At his words, President Seo Jinsang crossed his arms and made an interesting expression.

“Did I kill him……? Um…… I didn't kill him myself, I ordered people to kill him. You were so curious about that?”

“Then, the real disappearance of worker…….”

“That's right, he died when part of the outer wall of the officetel collapsed. He was a foreigner anyway, and he had no family to receive compensation. It should have been buried quietly, but Head Manager Park dig it out for no reason…….”

Assistant Manager Jo Youngkwang bit his lips. Tears streamed down his face in resentment. But even that was short-lived. Assistant Manager Jo Youngkwang burst out laughing as if he had lost his mind.

“……What's wrong with you? Yah, are you crazy? You're laughing now?”

Seo Jinsang tapped Assistant Manager Jo Youngkwang on the shoulder. But with his head down, he just muttered something.

“Just like Detective-nim said…… Ha, for these guys, Head Manager-nim is…….”

“What are you bastard talking about?”

“You're done.”

“……What?”

Assistant Manager Jo Youngkwang smiled while talking nonsense. Seeing him like that, Seo Jinsang burst into an absurd laugh.

“You sound like that guy when you say crazy things.”

“Pardon? Who…… are you talking about?”

The secretary asked Seo Jinsang.

“You know. At that time, that crazy guy, the 3 trillion cop who came to the company.”

“3 trillion cop…… Ah, are you talking about the Seoul Metropolitan Inspector?”

“Uh. The guy who said nonsense that he doesn't look at money below 3 trillion Won. Right now, this bastard's expression looks just like him.”

Seo Jinsang continued as he looked at Assistant Manager Jo Youngkwang, who smiled as if he had lost his mind.

“I wish I could bury him. Both this bastard and that bastard laughs at strange situations…… Make me feel bad.”

He stared at Assistant Manager Jo Youngkwang for a while, then turned around.

“Gosh, I'm feeling dirty. Just kill him fast.”

“President-nim, should he go missing or suicide?”

At the secretary's words, Seo Jinsang put on a worried expression for a moment.

“Just end it with suicide. Head Manager Park died and Assistant Manager Jo had a hard time. That's more likely.”

“I understand.”

The secretary nodded at the young men around.

Then, it was when the thugs viciously approached Assistant Manager Jo Youngkwang with their wooden sticks.

“Soundproofing doesn't seem to be good here either. Your voice is just ringing.”

“?”

People inside the factory turned their heads at the sudden voice. The direction the voice came from was the factory entrance where President Seo Jinsang entered.

A rustling sound was heard, and soon the factory door slid open. And a man was standing behind it.

“Did you talk about me?”

“You……you!”

It was Hyunsoo.
