1500 times. If I go, I’ll definitely pray that I did something wrong.
Yeon Jeok-ha who was tracing her memories of last night with a blank expression on her face said as if she felt unfair.
“I don’t know this woman. She refused the helper so a woman named Madame came and poured her a drink. She had a few drinks of it… and when she opened her eyes this was what happened.”
The young man’s words caught Mo Gangjun’s attention so he quickly checked both of his arms.
The man’s arms were as smooth as if they were made of jade and there were no scratches let alone injection marks.
‘Did you get hit by GHB?’
This may have been the case since this entertainment district is famous for cheating on foreigners.
At that time Lim Cho-yeon walked over and lightly pushed Mo Kang-jun to one side.
“Now that’s an excuse let me start by telling you your name and ID number. Don’t you think that way you’ll know whether you’re a habitual prostitute or an unlucky victim? “If you don’t tell me right away your fingerprints will be checked.”
Lim Cho-yeon glared at the young man with disgusted eyes.
The excuses of men who are caught engaging in prostitution may not be so consistent.
Yeon Jeok-ha felt bad when he was suddenly treated like a criminal.
“hey.”
“It’s not me it’s Sergeant Lim Cho-yeon. “Who are you?”
“I love you.”
“You were teacher Yeonjeokha. “What is your citizen identification number?”
“That… I don’t really remember.”
“You’re still young but you’re already like that. So what’s the address? “If you don’t remember your address we can look it up using your fingerprint.”
When Lim Cho-yeon pressed hard Yeon Jeok-ha sighed.
Now that I don’t know how far the identification process has progressed I don’t know if I can take my fingerprints.
‘Damn if I had known it would be like this I would have asked them to make me from Sibeon City.’
Jin and Wol said that it would take about a month if the place of origin were combined.
So although she is embarrassed she has no choice but to rely on Jin and Wol for now.
“This is Hongryun Store.”
Lim Cho-yeon who had stopped asked back as if confirming.
“Are you talking about the Hongryun Store in Joyang Middle-ro Jangwan-gu?”
“yes.”
“All right. “Let’s go to the police station with us.”
Lim Cho-yeon who had always been strict turned around without asking any more questions.
He asked Lim Cho-yeon as Mo Kang-jun who was watching from the side was walking away.
“Sergeant Lim what about the handcuffs?”
“Don’t fill it up but serve it politely.”
“Did you hear what the sergeant said? “Quickly get dressed.”
At the man’s words I got down from the bed found some clothes and put them on.
Meanwhile another female police officer came in and approached the woman sitting on the edge of the bed.
Eventually as the female police officer and the woman passed by him Yeon Jeok-ha asked.
“Hey girl. “Who are you?”
The woman then answered slyly.
“Who is this the bar assistant who spent the night with a customer?”
“No I never called a helper. What do you mean? “This is my first time seeing you!”
“Why is the man so squishy? So he comes to that place alone. Tsk tsk!”
Instead the female police officer pushed the woman who was even sticking her tongue out on her back and went out.
Yeonjeok was shocked by the woman’s shameless words and her hands trembled.
Mo Kang-jun approached him.
“You said this happened while drinking the alcohol that Madame gave you right?”
“yes.”
“Hmm this is a tactic that businesses often use against customers who come alone. Usually they make him drunk and then swipe his credit card to the limit and then kick him out… When he wants to do more work he feeds him water and even adds a woman to him.”
Mo Kang-jun thought that the young man who asked him to marry him had been taken to a bar.
So he thought it was a formality to take her to the police station but that wasn’t the case.
***
Jangwan-gu Police Station Sibeon-si.
“Yeah? “That man is a triad?”
Mo Kang-jun who was writing the report looked up at Lim Cho-yeon with startled eyes.
I thought he was some stupid outsider who worked in a bar but he was a triad?
“It’s not certain yet so you shouldn’t be that surprised. However it is true that the president and vice president of the Hongryun Chamber of Commerce are from the Hongryon Chamber of Hong Kong.”
“Then shouldn’t we arrest him right away?”
“How do you arrest people who are not suspected of a crime and have no criminal record?”
“Didn’t you just say you were from Hongryeonbang?”
“Do you think the Triads are idiots? An arrest cannot be made solely on suspicion of the Hongryeonbang. “Would you have advanced to the mainland without any confidence that you could pass the investigation by the Public Security Management Bureau?”
“By the way Sergeant how did you know that the Hongryun Store was a triad?”
“My first assignment was to the Public Security Office of Hubei Province.”
“ah….”
Mo Kang-jun slowly turned his head to the monitor screen as he felt a sense of self-destruction coming over him again.
At that time Lim Cho-yeon’s cell phone rang.
“Yes this is Sergeant Lim Cho-yeon. yes? All right.”
The call was concise and short.
Lim Cho-yeon who was silent for a moment with a stern face called out to Mo Kang-jun who was typing hard.
“Mr. Gyeongwon.”
“yes?”
“Please destroy the edict regarding Yeon Jeok-ha and send it to me.”
“Yeah? “Who?”
“Director of Public Security.”
“why? “Shouldn’t someone from the Hongryun Store be classified as a person of interest?”
“It’s not a triad.”
“No I haven’t even written a report yet. How does the Director of Public Security know that?”
“You must have received a call from Hongryun Store.”
“How can you believe what they say?”
“How should I know what my superiors think? They may have received bribes information we don’t know or both. Did you run a background check on the man? What does it say?”
“I am a typical peasant worker from Hefei. “He has been clean with no misdemeanors since graduating from advanced middle school (high school).”
“A farmer’s ball?”
Lim Cho-yeon tilted his head.
Peasant workers refer to urban workers from rural areas.
However when I saw him at the motel his body looked closer to that of a Chinese swallow than to that of a peasant worker.
“Why are you doing that?”
“In the eyes of a certain Gyeongwon did Yeon Jeok-ha seem like a person who did bad things?”
“Not at all. “Your skin is fairer than Sergeant Lim?”
“Insulting remarks toward Mo Kang-jun’s superior officer may be grounds for disciplinary action.”
“sorry. “It was because I didn’t have anyone that immediately came to mind.”
As soon as Lim Chu-yeon’s tone became cold Mo Kang-jun lowered his tail.
This is because she was a talented person who graduated from the People’s Public Security University of China (中華人民公安大學) at the top of her class and she came from a family so respected that her grandfather was a member of the Politburo Standing Committee.
Fortunately Lim Cho-yeon was not a character breaker and she accepted Mo Kang-jun’s apology.
“If peasant workers had such fair skin all Chinese women would say they would do peasant work. “He is definitely not a peasant worker.”
“Then you are also a triad?”
“Seeing as the Director of Public Security said no… it is highly likely that it is not.”
During his heyday Sun Hong-lei the director of the Public Security Bureau of Sibun City was nicknamed Crocodile.
Like a crocodile once he bites he won’t let go until something is broken.
If he said he wasn’t such a terrible person he certainly wasn’t.
“If it’s not a peasant ball or a triad what is it?”
“We have to find out about that now. Please bring that person to my place.”
“yes.”
Mo Kang-Jun deleted the report he had been writing and jumped up from his seat.
After a while.
After being released from detention Yeon Jeok-ha sat across from Lim Cho-yeon across one of his desks.
“Mr. Yeonjeokha?”
“yes.”
“Don’t you remember your citizen identification number yet?”
“yes. “I’m a little dizzy.”
“I investigated Madam. They said they used mulppong on Yeon Jeok-ha. “Do you know what mulppong is?”
“Yes I heard.”
“They say GHB is usually excreted within 24 hours… Yeon Jeok-ha said it was only 6 hours. However no narcotics were found in the blood test. “I guess you have a very fast metabolism.”
Lim Cho-yeon made a sad face.
What if narcotics were detected in his blood?
It was not possible to reject the instructions of the Director of Public Security based on mere suspicion.
‘It’s only been 6 hours since I drank Mulppong but there’s no trace left…’
Lim Cho-yeon who was muttering to herself suddenly had an idea and opened the drawer of her desk.
The black pad she took out was a ‘portable genetic mutation meter.’
“It’s a genetic mutation meter. Could you please measure it? Of course you can refuse.”
Instead of replying she placed her palm on the pad.
The number stamped on the pad is of course 0.
Lim Cho-yeon put the pad back into the drawer with a puzzled look on her face.
“Sergeant do you also have dimensional powers?”
“A little.”
Lim Cho-yeon responded that it was no big deal but Yeon Jeok-ha did not believe her.
It’s because her potential that can be felt is superior to her Jin and Wol.
According to a feeling I developed while interacting with people with dimensional powers at the Hongryun Store Lim Cho-yeon’s dimensional powers were at a considerable level.
“Can I go now?”
“You said you were Vice President Jin Gwa-wol’s maternal nephew right?”
“yes.”
“Today I requested information on Vice President Jin Kwa-wol from the Hong Kong police. You will receive a reply tomorrow or the day after tomorrow at the latest right? “Maybe then I will have the opportunity to go see Yeon Jeok-ha.”
“You will need to contact Hongryun Store in advance. “I might go out.”
“Don’t you have a cell phone?”
“yes.”
“Amazing. “There are people who don’t have cell phones?”
“I’m thinking about making one soon. “If you make it I’ll teach you.”
There was no inconvenience because she had no one to contact but when she saw everyone carrying one she wanted one for herself.
“Are you saying you’re going to give me your phone number?”
“You asked for my cell phone. “Didn’t you ask me to give you my phone number?”
“….”
Feeling strange Lim Cho-yeon did not respond right away.
This guy is a bit strange.
Not only ordinary people but also criminals are afraid of public security.
But the man in front of her was different.
He seems to be a former peasant worker and related to a triad executive but he is very confident.
Even though she is a second-level sergeant she treats herself like an ordinary woman.
‘Is he a psychopath?’
Otherwise you wouldn’t be able to control your emotions to this extent.
Feeling eerie for a moment she lightly relaxed her neck and shoulders.
Coincidentally at that time Mo Kang-Jun came rushing over.
“Sergeant!”
“why?”
“The daughter of Jin Gwa-wol vice president of Hongryun Store has been kidnapped!”
“What?”
Surprised Lim Cho-yeon got up from her seat.
Normally I would have scolded him and asked ‘Why are you saying that in front of the Hongryun Store officials?’ But right now I had no time to criticize him for his stupidity.
Soon her cell phone rang in her pocket.
Lim Cho-yeon took out her cell phone checked the sender and spoke to Yeon Jeok-ha.
“You can just go back.”
After finishing speaking Lim Cho-yeon hurriedly left the place without even looking back.
Left alone Yeonjeokha took a moment to gather his thoughts before moving.
She said that kidnapping Christy was definitely Jang Rak-bang’s work.
It would be better if she risked her life to demand the withdrawal of the Hongryun Company.
The worst thing about her is that she uses her to lure Jin and Wol.
If it’s the latter her goal is to kill everyone so she can’t even guarantee Christie’s safety.
“her! “Even though times change bad guys remain the same.”
Yeonjeoha who was mumbling trudged out of the police station.
***
Jang Wan-gu a 10-word poem.
Hongryun Store.
After leaving the police station it was only after lunch time that she was able to return to Hongnyeon Store.
The atmosphere at Hongryeon Store was full of chill even though it was under heating.
After seeing the Triad staff Yeonjeokha bowed as usual.
However everyone just passed by with a stern expression on their faces and no one accepted them.
It’s a problem that a young guy got mugged at a bar and was in and out of the police station but he did it on the day the vice president’s daughter was kidnapped so it was completely out of the question.
Yeonjeokha who was watching what the Triad employees were thinking approached Kyungri and spoke softly.
“Miss Mr. Christie….”
“fizzle.”
Song Yeon-bi violently waved her hand as if telling her not to say anything.
The management manager returned just in time and spoke to Yeon Jeok-ha who was standing there with a puzzled look on his face.
“The vice president is looking for you. “When I go I’ll beg you that I made a mistake.”
The management manager treated Yeon Jeok-ha favorably thinking that he was the vice president’s maternal nephew.
I greeted the kindness of the management manager and walked to the vice president’s office.
