Episode 1513. Don’t believe it if they tell you they make wine from grapes.
The next day.
Sibun City Public Security Bureau Division 5.
Lim Cho-yeon went to work and sat at her desk for a long time staring blankly at the monitor screen.
The data that appeared on the screen was Yeon Jeok-ha’s personal information.
It is an ordinary history with nothing special starting from his birth until he became a peasant worker.
But she knows that this history is fabricated.
There is no doubt that she disguised her identity as a real peasant worker by being someone who asked her to register.
Even though I know it I feel uncomfortable trying to cover it up.
But there is still one thing that is comforting.
It is true that all those who died under Yeon Jeok were incorrigible evildoers.
She said ‘He did what the state failed to do.’
She rationalized herself like that.
Not only were there too many things at stake to turn it over now but there was no practical benefit.
The owner of Mahwa-dong and the Dongbang Security agents are vicious criminals who kidnapped Jin So-hyang and tried to kill her.
And although Yeon Jeok-ha’s actions at the abandoned factory were a bit extreme they constituted self-defense.
Can the special team alone arrest Yeon Jeok-ha?
Two months ago when a class A mutant was arrested in Tianjin about a thousand police officers (people’s armed police units) were mobilized.
There were about 300 casualties that day.
This means that in order to arrest Yeon Jeok-ha you have to endure at least that much damage.
Tianjin’s A-level mutant was the leader of Falun Gong so he carried out the operation despite the damage.
‘There is no reason to go that far against Yeon Jeok-ha.’
Lim Cho-yeon nodded and closed the Public Security Bureau information viewing window.
At that time Gyeongwon Mo Kang-jun came up and said.
“There is a story I heard from the informant planted in the sergeant’s room.”
“What is it?”
“It is said that they kidnapped a person from the Hongnyeon Store in Jangnakbang and Cheonmubang and were punished. This seems to be referring to Jin So-hyang’s work. Baeju Daegok’s Vice President Kang Moo did not revolt… It seems like the Hongryeonbang had a hand in it.”
“No one has entered the mainland from Hongryeonbang in the past week.”
“What if the Hongryun Store joined hands with another force?”
“Is there an organization to fight against Jang Rak-bang and Tian Mubang in Shibiyeon City?”
“Ah… that’s it again. If it’s not a rebellion it’s something done by external forces. “Who could it be?”
Mo Gangjun tilted his head.
But no matter how much I thought about it I couldn’t think of a plausible organization.
Is there an organization that can erase President Baeju Daegok and a dozen security agents without a trace?
Im Cho-yeon stood up leaving Mo Kang-jun deep in thought.
“I will meet Director Son. “This case may be transferred to special police so please organize the information.”
Mo Kang-jun was startled by her words and asked back.
“Yeah? Are you sending me as a special police officer?”
The special police department is in charge of violent cases such as murders and organized crime but in this case a large number of mutants went missing.
No matter how much the special police can fly and run they are helpless against mutants.
For that reason the organization created secretly by the Special Police is the Special Investigation Department.
In the current situation sending him down to special police status was the same as saying ‘I will ask about this incident.’
“Yes is there a problem?”
“You know this team leader right? The special police cannot handle it. “If the case is passed over it will be pushed back and at some point it will be treated as an unsolved case.”
“Special constables have the advantage of special constables and special constables have the advantages of special constables. “It means they might find out something we didn’t.”
Of course I’m just saying that.
There is no way the mutants of the black society would cooperate with the special police so it will just pass time and be forgotten.
That was exactly what she had hoped for.

Jang Wan-gu Hongryun Store.
After a long time Yeon Jeok-ha was watching TV in his dorm when he received a call from Vice President Jin Gwa-wol.
When he entered the vice president’s office Vice President Jin Gwawol smiled and handed him his ID card.
“This is your ID. “From now on wherever you go use this ID card instead of your card.”
“thank you.”
I bowed my head as I received my ID card.
In the past you could live without a hopae but modern times are different.
It was a world where you couldn’t do anything without an ID.
Looking at my ID card I finally feel like I have become a modern person.
“Do you have any plans for the future?”
Jin and Yue asked as if nothing had happened but their intentions were a little confused.
If Yeon Jeok-ha had the right spirit and sound behavior he would have been accepted as a member of the Hongryun Sanghoe.
But when I was around him he had a lot of problems.
First of all he was mentally unstable causing trouble in bars and was very bravado.
The Triad staff’s opinion was that he was very pretentious.
If such a person was accepted into the Triad family problems would inevitably arise.
It was a bit unfortunate but I had to let him go at this point.
“I want to go to Hefei.”
“Do you want to visit Seokgyeongjang?”
“yes.”
“I would have said that the place was already in ruins.”
“But I think I won’t have any regrets if I see it with my own eyes.”
“okay. “It would be good to see it with your own eyes.”
I don’t know if seeing the ruined Seokgyeongjang would help his symptoms but it wasn’t something that could be prevented.
Jin and Wol who nodded their heads continued speaking.
“I’ll buy the plane ticket. and….”
Jin Guewol put down the thick salary envelope on the table.
“Are you giving it to me?”
“Yes with that much money you won’t have any trouble living for a while.”
“thank you.”
I accepted it without hesitation.
I had no hesitation in receiving something since I received it often when I lived in Seokgyeongjang as well as Nokrim.
He even opened the envelope on the spot to check the amount.
“It’s 100000 yuan (about 18 million won)? Why so much?”
When the amount was revealed in front of the person who gave it to him Jin and Wol said with an embarrassed expression.
“I would like to give more money but the financial situation is tight… I have money to spend on Christy…”
If Yeon Jeok-ha were a sane guy he would have slapped him in the face.
However Jin and Yue knew that the other person’s mind was not sound so they made lame excuses.
“Things can’t always be good.”
Even Jin and Yue could not bear those words any longer.
“Go out and have a look. “It’s late today so I’ll make a reservation for departure tomorrow.”
“Can I have a dinner with the hotel staff this evening? “I saw something called a farewell party in a drama and I wanted to try it right?”
“Who are you talking about the hotel staff?”
“Brother Gangrok and Cheongun.”
“It’s okay if it’s those two people.”
Jin and Yue readily agreed.
I was thinking of stopping all of the Hongryun Store employees but it didn’t matter to just two people.
***
That evening.
Jin and Wol left work a little earlier than usual and went back to her house.
She was having dinner with her daughter after a long time when Jin and Wol spoke in passing.
“Yeon Jeok-ha’s ID card arrived today. “I’m going straight to Hapbi so I booked a flight for tomorrow at 2pm.”
“You’re going that fast?”
Startled Christy lifted his head and looked at his father.
“Why are you so surprised? She was originally a person who wandered around the world aimlessly. “If it wasn’t for her ID she would have left a long time ago.”
“I’ll leave tomorrow too.”
“Where are you going?”
“Hong Kong.”
“I can’t fly on the same plane as Yeon Jeok-ha.”
Hefei went directly from Shiwenshi but to get to Hong Kong he had to transfer from Shanghai to a plane bound for Hong Kong.
“i know. “I just want to take a look at it in the waiting room.”
Jin and Wol were clearly irritated by their daughter’s naturally virtuous words.
This is because her own daughter whom she raised with golden jade leaves appears to be following him around.
“Do you think that guy is even a famous idol? “Why are you doing this all of a sudden?”
“Hmm. “Did you know that Daddy Yeon also booked a plane ticket for tomorrow?”
“I informed you. “She’s probably saying goodbye or something with two of her close friends.”
“So is it really goodbye tomorrow?”
“What does that have to do with your sudden interest?”
“My father is not the only person that Brother Yeon saves.”
“What do you mean?”
Jin and Wol looked at their daughter with her bewildered face.
And strictly speaking the person who saved her was not Yeon Jeok-ha but a passing thief.
“Didn’t Dad do that before? “The person who rescued my father from Jupao Village was someone else and Brother Yeon took his father and ran away from there.”
“however?”
“I think Brother Yeon lied.”
“what? Are you saying that he was in league with Majang Cheong?”
Her hips were shaking as if Jin and Wol were going to get up from her chair at any moment.
“Calm down. “If Brother Yeon was in the same league as Majang Cheong would I respect him?”
“then?”
“It must have been Brother Yeon who saved his father from Majang Cheong.”
“That guy said that? Everything he says should be ignored. Bragging isn’t usually that bad. “Don’t believe him even if he says he makes wine from grapes.”
“I saw it.”
“What are you looking at? “There was only him and me in Jupao Village.”
“It’s not Zhu Pao Village… it’s the brother who opened it in the Baizhou Daegok president’s office killing the president and security guards. “I saw it clearly with my own two eyes.”
“That can’t be possible… You must have been drunk and saw something for nothing. “That guy’s dimensional power was 0.”
“Then Baeju Daegok’s Vice President Kang Mu went crazy and sent me away in his car?”
“In order for Gangmu who started the rebellion to take control of the interior…”
“Because it’s not. Dad you know how much my dimensional power is. And Mulppong doesn’t seem like a waste.”
“But that guy’s dimensional power….”
“Don’t trust the cheap MDM (genetic mutation detection device) made in China that dad carries around but trust the eyes of a healthy father and daughter.”
“….”
After sitting in a daze for a while Qin Guoyue muttered.
“Well it was a little strange. “A passing charlatan saved me… There’s no way there’s a high-ranking mutant in such a secluded mountain village.”
“Do you understand now?”
Jin Guawol who came to his senses belatedly said with a stern face.
“Tell me every single thing you saw.”
Christie described from beginning to end what she saw in the president’s office.
“…and I warned people before I left. ‘Don’t tell anyone about me. If word gets out about me they’ll think you’ve stabbed me in the back. “If you don’t want to meet with the boss who went first you’ll have to keep your subordinates in check.’”
“Huh!”
A heavy sigh flowed from Jin Guwae’s mouth.
He no longer doubted her daughter’s words.
I was shocked that Jang Rak-bang and Cheon Mu-bang who were so energetic suddenly lowered their posture. I never thought such a secret story would happen!
Without even knowing it she tried to end her relationship with him with 100000 yuan…
The more she thought about it the hotter her face got.
“Brother Yeon doesn’t want to reveal what he did so pretend like you don’t know.”
“Ouch! “I guess so.”
Jin and Wol also knew that much.
However she only feels bad that she has treated him like a fool all this time.
***
The next afternoon.
I got into Vice President Jin Gwa-wol’s car and headed to Sipeon City Airport.
Of course Christie was also in that car.
Christy said with a bright smile as her lover glanced at her.
“I also want to go back to Hong Kong.”
“Oh yeah.”
“Your brother is going to Hefei?”
“uh.”
“Next probably Korea right?”
“How did you know?”
“Have you forgotten whose daughter I am? “My dad has no secrets from me.”
As she looked at Christy’s bright smile she suddenly remembered her daughter and smiled bitterly.
It’s amazing that everything exists only in the memories of the living.
The more she thought about it the more desperate she became about meeting the wise woman of Gucheon.
