Episode 1499. You are under arrest for violating Article 66 of the Public Safety and Security Penalties Act.
Jang Wan-gu a 10-word poem.
Italian restaurant Floris.
Early evening.
A young man and woman are sitting across from each other at a reserved table with a good view by the window eating pasta.
The conversation between them was polite and their gazes were subtle so it seemed like they were having a romantic relationship.
The two people laughed and chimed in every time the other said something.
As the meal was coming to an end a man named Moon Gang spoke as he passed by.
“Hongryun Store is having a hard time these days isn’t it?”
“Yes I think there have been some problems with my clients lately. “How did you know that?”
Song Yeon-bi the accountant of Hongryun Store did not hide it because it was not a big trade secret.
“Because our company is also in the distribution business there are some things you hear about.”
“Oh my did the rumor spread to Glatt?”
Song Yeon-bi looked at Moon Kang with slightly surprised eyes.
Glatt is a large European distribution company that has entered China and Moon Kang is a sales representative there.
Compared to Glatt Hongryun Store could be said to be a hole-in-the-wall store.
It was a bit surprising that the story of Hongryun Store was included in such a glatt.
“First of all the items we handle include alcohol albeit in small amounts. “I tend to hear stories from all over the industry.”
“I see. Then do you know what the problem is? “Maybe it’s because I’m at the lowest level but everyone seems to be quiet in front of me.”
“Hmm I don’t know if it’s okay to tell you.”
As Moon Kang slowly took a step back Song Yeon-bi tilted her upper body forward as if she was curious.
“If you know please tell me. I’m so frustrated because I feel like I’m the only one who doesn’t know. If this continues won’t our company go bankrupt? “Then you can’t do it…”
Hongryun Sanghoe is a liquor distribution company.
Of course if you can’t deliver alcohol to your customers on time you have to close your business.
There were many distribution companies that appeared and then disappeared in that way.
Song Yeon-bi a salaried employee wanted to know what was wrong with her company.
“I really shouldn’t say this….”
“What is it?”
“Mr. Yeonbi… do you know what kind of place the Hongryun Store is?”
“You’re a liquor distributor right?”
“To sum it up in one word it’s a liquor business. And you know that it’s difficult for ordinary people to sell alcohol right?”
“yes?”
If ordinary people do business then who does it?
As Song Yeon-bi blinked Moon Kang slightly lowered his voice and spoke.
“Behind the Hongryun Chamber of Commerce there is a Triad Association.”
“oh!”
Song Yeon-bi already knew but she pretended to be surprised and covered her mouth with her hand.
It’s because she wants to look good to the man in front of her.
Moon Gang continued speaking in a slightly triumphant tone.
“You didn’t know. The mainstream distribution of Sibeonsi is tightly controlled by the Sibeonsi black community. However Hongryun Store is trying to secure customers on its own. As a result the Black Society and the Hongryun Merchant Association exploded!”
Moon Kang raised his two fists in front of his face.
“Really? “I didn’t know.”
It’s true that I didn’t know.
It was impossible for a single accountant to know such advanced information.
“But triads are not officially allowed into mainland China. The police will arrest you right away. So even if they come to help only a very small number of people will come. Didn’t you see someone you hadn’t seen at the Hongryun Store recently?”
***
Sibeonsi Mojeon-gu (茅箭区).
Sipeonsi Baeju Daegok Co. Ltd.
Three people sat face to face in the president’s office on the top floor of a 15-story building.
They are Ma Hwa-dong the president of Baeju Daegok Co. Ltd. Oh Roe the president of Dongbang Security and Moon Kang an employee of Saga Intelligence.
Most of China’s historic black society emerged from the sun.
For example Baeju Daegok was founded by Jangnak Bang and Dongbang Guard was established by Cheon Mu Bang.
Jangnakbang and Cheonmubang are the factions that divided the Sipeon Night into the east and west and formed a temporary alliance to prevent the Triad’s advance into the Sipeon.
However only Saga Detective the equivalent of a detective agency was not a member of the black society but a member of the public security system.
Five days ago Jang Rak-bang and Cheon Mu-bang requested Saga Intelligence to investigate the Hongryun Store in order to avoid the attention of the triads.
And today we have finally gathered to hear the results.
“…So far only one person has entered the Hongryun Store from outside. This is a man called Yeon Jeok-ha Jin Gwa-wol’s maternal nephew. He is from Hebi and is twenty-five years old. “He is not a member of the Triad and is an ordinary person with zero dimension power.”
As he spoke Moon Kang laid out a dozen photos of Yeon Jeok Ha on the table.
Ma Hwa-dong and O-lei who were examining the photo soon lost interest and threw it on the table.
Moon Kang continued speaking.
“We wiretapped the Hongryun Store for five days. They also had anti-eavesdropping equipment installed so I couldn’t know the contents but there were three phone calls with Hong Kong. However as the number of troops was not increased it seems that they were unable to receive support from the Hongryeonbang headquarters. In fact after checking with the public security there were no persons of interest related to the triads among those who entered the country through Sipeon Chaoyang International Airport.”
Although the opponents were the leaders of black society Moon Gang’s attitude was full of goodwill.
This is because public security and black society have a close relationship that has been strengthened through money over a long period of time.
Mahwa-dong the president of Baegokdaeju exchanged glances with the president of Dongbang Security Oh-roe and then spoke briefly.
“Good job. “Stop and go out.”
“yes. Oh by the way our boss says there will be an intensive crackdown on brothels this week. Please keep this in mind when enjoying entertainment.”
“Hehe I understand. “Please tell me thank you.”
“Okay then that’s enough.”
Moon Kang stood up bowed to the two people and left the president’s office.
The owner of Baegok Daeju in Mahwa-dong spoke first.
“As expected the Hongryeonbang main family does not seem to be involved. They say that the longer the night the more dreams there are. “Let’s finish this before the Hongryun Chamber of Commerce attracts the mutants of the Ten Words.”
However Wu Lei the president of Eastern Security did not readily agree.
“There is a monster who subdued Majang Cheong and his subordinates. Wouldn’t it be better for him to get on with it after we find out who he is and why he’s involved?”
“Maybe it was just a passing mutation. There is no such level of D.P. mutation around the Hongryun Chamber of Commerce. “The best expert at Hongryun Store is Jin Gwa-wol.”
Oh Lei could not refute.
Given the circumstances I think Ma Hwa-dong’s words are correct.
If the monster was related to the Hongryun Company he would have been caught on the radar of Saga’s spies.
Saga Intelligence was not just any ordinary intelligence agency but was like a gathering place for public security in Hubei Province.
They did whatever it took to hire public security officers in Hubei Province when they were fired or retired.
So when Saga Intelligence said ‘There were no people coming in from outside’ it meant that there were none.
Orei’s mouth which had been closed like a clam opened.
“So what is Master Ma’s plan?”
“How about doing something worthy of the black society after a long time? “In the midst of the public security crackdown on entertainment districts a quick decision was made…”
Ma Hwa-dong the president of Baegokdaeju and the head of Jangnakbang had a sinister smile on his face.
***
After visiting the memorial hall Yeonjeokha walked around the Jangwan-gu area at ease.
This time unlike when he was looking for a conduit he literally moved wherever his feet took him.
At first I focused on large buildings starting with hospitals and libraries and even stopping by government offices if I thought they were a bit interesting.
As a result dusk began to fall.
In the evening the city became unrecognizable as if a woman had put on makeup.
I kept turning my head left and right in the center of the busy downtown area.
It’s almost impossible to come to your senses due to the bright sign.
As he was walking with a blank expression on his face a middle-aged man approached him quietly and started talking to him.
“Brother Little are you alone?”
“yes.”
“How about some amazing drinks and girls? If you are alone 500 yuan (approximately 92000 won) is enough. “You can choose until you like it.”
“Choice?”
“You can choose.”
“ah! That’s it. Wouldn’t it be okay if it was just alcohol? “I have no intention of drinking with the lady next to me.”
“You hate her. Then you can just drink. Other places sell fake alcohol but this store only sells real alcohol. “If you just want to drink alcohol the basic price is 200 yuan (36000 won).”
When Yeonjeokha made an ambiguous face the man forcefully grabbed his arm.
“Follow me. It’s really awesome. I’m introducing you to you because I like you. If it were like other people it wouldn’t be possible. “People with dirty looks are a no-no for me.”
“Ah… I can’t do this…”
Still she did not shake off the man she was dating.
She must have found a way to meet the wise woman of Gucheon and for the first time in her life she wants to drink with her light heart.
The place where middle-aged man Dusun headed was a famous entertainment district in Sipeon.
As I entered the alley I was startled when the strong smell of urine and beer hit me.
This was the smell I used to smell when passing by a brothel in the past.
The smell that hit my nose was even worse than before so I felt sick for a moment.
“Are you sure you’re going to the bar?”
“That’s right you can just drink alcohol. You can say that the Yangju in that house is real and most of the other places are fake. You are lucky to have met me today. “Where is home?”
Dusun quickly changed the subject before the young man could get suspicious.
“Hapbiyo.”
“Hey! They came from far away. I am thankful to my ancestors for meeting me. “I will make it a night you will never forget.”
In response to her man’s braggadocio she shook her head.
I don’t know why the people who play on this floor past or present are so similar.
The man stopped in front of a building with a naked woman as her sign.
The sign that Yeon Jeok-ha saw before following her man in said ‘Perfect Heaven [完美 天堂]’.
“What is that?”
“This is a guy who has become a gulla [过了]. “I’m speechless as to how much you’ve done.”
“Do you think I asked because I didn’t know that? “Have you verified your identity?”
“no. “I have some money in my wallet but I don’t have any ID.”
“Wake me up right away.”
“I woke you up earlier but you won’t wake up.”
“Isn’t he dead?”
“Are you breathing?”
“Then pour some water in. Are you going to carry a red-light criminal on your back? “If I can’t wake him up I’ll make you carry him.”
At the words of second-class sergeant Lim Cho-yeon (Korea’s inspector general) first-class inspector Mo Kang-jun gritted his teeth.
It feels bad to follow the instructions of Lim Cho-yeon who is only 25 years old but to carry someone who has turned into a bastard?
And then what if I say Tora?
Mo Gangjun annoyed approached the young man and raised his hand.
The intention is to wake him up by slapping him.
But then unexpectedly the young man opened his eyes.
Mo Kangjun quietly lowered his arm and then spoke to the young man.
“You are under arrest for violating Article 66 of the Public Order Punishment Act. “I didn’t have any ID in my belongings. What is my name and citizen identification number?”
Yeon Jeok-ha who was looking up at the man with a bewildered expression hurriedly stood up.
The soft blanket slid off revealing my naked torso.
Startled by this Yeon Jeok-ha hurriedly pulled up the blanket and looked around him.
They are all faces in the room I am seeing for the first time.
When she refused the helper a woman named Madame came next to her and poured her a few drinks.
I ate whatever was poured down my throat but when I opened my eyes I found myself in an unfamiliar room?
“Where is this place? “Why am I here?”
Mo Kang-jun answered the young man’s question.
“This is a motel operated by Wanmichundang. You were caught engaging in prostitution with a girl named Won So-mi over there. Now can you answer my question as well?”
He turned his head to where the man’s finger was pointing.
A woman she had never seen before was sitting on the edge of her bed pouting her lips.
