Chapter 492 Changing Incheon (5)
Moon Tae-joon doubted his ears.
Common sense could not accept the subordinate’s report.
“… Cho Min-woo lost? Didn’t he die?”
“yes. During the promotion review with Lee Tae-seong, Cho Min-woo died, and all 31 personnel currently known as Incheon’s direct jurisdiction passed the promotion test. How do we handle this? Although they have been detained from returning to Incheon, there is no justification for punishing them just because they are in Incheon.”
“This crazy.”
I felt dizzy.
Thirty-one passed.
That alone is shocking, but the problem is that Cho Min-woo, a valuable talent in the central government, has died.
‘Jo Min-woo is the person of Geumcheon-gu Congressman Jo Dal-soo. I borrowed a lot of strength to handle this matter, but if you inform me that Minwoo Jo is dead, there will be an uproar. damn it How is this possible? According to the intelligence department, it is impossible for Lee Tae-seong to defeat Jo Min-woo, but everyone in his direct jurisdiction, including him, passes the promotion test. Changes are happening in Incheon that I don’t know about.’
My mouth was dry.
It is said that the central government’s inspectors wield great power over the provinces, but district councilors such as the provincial procurement had a different story.
Even though they are members of the district, it does not mean that the ‘council’ including the number of procurements is constituted in Geumcheon-gu.
This also originated from the deformed structure of the Republic of Korea, and the district councilor took charge of a district as an existence that obeyed only the orders of the President of the Republic of Korea.
blast furnace.
Jo Dal-soo was the king of Geumcheon-gu.
Moon Tae-joon put him in the background, but this time, Jo Min-woo, whom he cherished, died.
‘Congressman Jo Dal-soo will never let this go unnoticed. The problem is that I pushed ahead with this project, so if I continue like this, I could take all the responsibility.’
It was a simple matter.
In a situation where less than 30 A-class hunters died in Korea, and a precious talent directly related to the power of Congressman Cho Dal-soo died, a scapegoat was needed to pay the price.
Even an investigator like himself couldn’t avoid it.
With the death of Jo Min-woo, the power of the gold heavenly sphere would weaken, so it was clear that even anger would be relieved.
It was stifling.
There was no way to solve the problem in any way.
If so, it was necessary for Moon Tae-jun to turn the procurator’s anger in a different direction as much as possible.
Taejun Moon said.
“Lee Tae-seong. Arrest him immediately for willful murder.”
* * *
Lee Tae-seong has been moved to another location.
It was a space used as a warehouse at the promotion test site, but it was turned into a temporary interrogation room.
It was a grim atmosphere.
While the capital’s guardians were guarding it, Moon Tae-joon entered the interrogation room and met Lee Tae-seong.
click.
“Lee Tae-seong. Keep in mind that from now on all our conversations will be recorded. Ask directly. Why in the world did you intentionally kill Minwoo Cho, the promotion examiner?”
“… There was no intention to kill on purpose. I just stood up against him because the opponent was spraying water.”
“I guess so. I should say so.”
Moon Tae-joon was nervous.
Lee Tae-seong will be innocent.
Moon Tae-joon knew the truth because he was the one who gave the order to Jo Min-woo, but from now on, the truth didn’t matter at all.
Lee Tae-seong was used as a scapegoat.
As a being who will bear his sins and by dealing with him as an A-class strongman, he will be able to weaken the power of the Incheon government.
One move, two gains.
He turned the crisis into an opportunity.
Taejun Moon said.
“The examiner who was watching the situation at the time said. Their fight was in the realm of a test, but you suddenly used a heinous move to blow off Jo Min-woo’s head. Taeseong Lee. that’s why you’re here In the original promotion review, the atmosphere can get rough when fighting, but no one uses brutal moves enough to blow off the opponent’s head. We think that we killed it intentionally, and the problem is that the person you killed was Jo Min-woo, an A-class hunter. He is a valuable talent indispensable to Korea.”
“I request a formal trial. My actions were in clear self-defence.”
“Justifiably. If you belonged to the central government, your excuse would have been acceptable.”
opponent’s weakness.
belonged to him
The fact that he belonged to the Incheon government gave strength to Moon Tae-joon’s words.
“The Incheon government has committed treason against the central government. You said you would walk your own path, but that’s a problem that simply cannot be accepted as a separate realm. Why? There is no place like Incheon anywhere in Korea. Incheon was the only one who protested against the central government’s order, so I think this case may be an extension of the protest. A heinous incident in which you, who were against the central government, deliberately killed valuable talent in the central government.”
“What is that!”
“Then confess. that it is true If you tell the truth, I’ll give you a decent life in prison. But if you continue to deny the truth, you will be banished to the northern regions.”
North.
The land once occupied by North Korea was devastated during the first cataclysm.
The land where people can no longer live was infested with only monsters, and whenever a catastrophe broke out, South Korea formed a defensive wall around Cheorwon because of the monsters that came in from the north.
Exile there means to die painfully.
Looking at Moon Tae-joon’s eyes, which were glistening with intent to kill, Lee Tae-seong knew that the truth didn’t work.
The opponent has already decided the correct answer.
Lee Tae-seong swallowed his words and remained silent as he tried to somehow get the answer he wanted.
‘If it is said that Incheon is doing it, Moon Tae-jun will try to wipe out the Incheon government by putting forward the central government.’
that couldn’t be allowed.
rather.
will die
In Incheon, a new hope called Roman Dmitri appeared, and Kim Jun-hyeok was finally realizing his dream of making a strong Incheon.
I didn’t want to ruin that dream.
He wanted to watch Incheon change with him, but he did not want the whole of Incheon to bear the consequences of his actions.
I felt resentment towards myself.
if you were stronger
A situation like this could have been avoided if he had been able to defeat Jo Min-woo without killing him.
“… .”
continued silence.
Lee Tae-seong’s will was delivered.
It wasn’t bad either.
Moon Tae-joon was about to kill Lee Tae-seong to finish this task, but suddenly a guardian sent a signal from outside.
Sigh.
“What is going on?”
“Roman Dmitri came from Incheon to meet with Inspector Moon Tae-joon.”
“Roman Dmitry?”
It was an unexpected name.
He who had disappeared for a month ago suddenly appeared in Seoul.
Moon Tae-joon laughed.
“It’s fun. Guide me right now. I need to check the liar’s face, Roman Dmitry.”
* * *
It was a familiar sight.
Moon Tae-jun and Roman Dmitri Kim Jun-hyeok.
As they sat facing each other, Moon Tae-joon smiled viciously.
“Where have you been? Well, that has nothing to do with this case, so I won’t bother answering. However, Lee Tae-sung, who belongs to the Incheon government, intentionally killed Cho Min-woo, an A-class hunter who is a valuable talent in Korea, is a serious crime that cannot be resolved with any excuse.”
Sigh.
legs crossed
This is Seoul.
The fact that it is the central government’s main room gave Moon Tae-jun unlimited power.
however.
“You’re talking nonsense.”
“… what?”
Roman Dmitry reacted coldly.
Unable to accept it in his head, Moon Tae-joon twisted his expression and tried to shoot the opponent.
Previously.
Roman Dmitry spoke first.
“Inspector Moon Tae-joon. Why do you think I was polite in my relationship with you when your hostility toward Incheon is obvious? Because of the power you have? Because of the existence of a central government? no. Because many lives depend on our conversations. The words and actions of those who carry the power carry a corresponding responsibility.”
“What are you talking about?”
“Speaking carefully. Because your words could kill all your people.”
gave me attention
Even without being called, Kim Jun-hyeok knew that it was his turn to step out.
“All hunters in the direct control units wear body cameras. The video taken with it is sent to me immediately, and thanks to that, I was able to check the situation at the time without sharing the video at the promotion test site. This is the material. If you check the video, you can see that Jo Min-woo had already explicitly revealed his intention to kill Lee Tae-sung before he murdered Jo Min-woo. I’ll ask Investigator Moon Tae-joon. Whose intention is it? Is it right for Lee Tae-seong to accept death meekly against the person who rushes to kill him first?”
Shuk.
passed the material.
Moon Tae-joon’s eyes shook.
The false accusation begins with excluding the evidence of the other party, but I did not expect to secure such evidence.
Everything was unexpected.
Roman Dmitry’s attitude.
Evidence of Kim Jun-hyeok.
At that time, I heard Roman Dmitri’s cold voice.
“The information that Incheon has grasped is clear. The central government has openly kept the Incheon government in check, and during the test, it showed the intention to kill Lee Tae-seong, a valuable talent in Incheon. And when that failed, he passed the blame on Lee Tae-seong this time. Investigator Moon Tae-joon. From now on, I would like to accept the actions of the central government as a declaration of war against Incheon. What do you think about this?”
* * *
I was out of breath.
It was embarrassing.
The words spoken by Roman Dmitri were an area not allowed to the weak like the Incheon government.
‘It’s clear that the Incheon guys are crazy. Otherwise, how dare you declare war against the central government!’
declaration of war.
I got goosebumps.
In fact, I thought that if I threatened moderately, the opponent would back down.
It was common sense in the past, but the situation did not go the way he wanted from beginning to end.
Anger was brewing.
This wasn’t something that could just be overlooked.
At the sharp eyes looking at him, Moon Tae-joon expressed his explosive anger.
Quaang!
“What are we going to do now?!”
He raised his voice.
There was no reason to be afraid of the opponent’s threats.
In a small piece of land called the Republic of Korea, the central government boasted unmatched power.
Incheon?
Such things can be swept away in a day.
“These crazy bastards. Also my prediction was correct. You intended to commit treason against the central government from the beginning, so you must have Lee Tae-seong killed Jo Min-woo. Do you think you will be safe in this Republic of Korea even if you act like that? It’s good to look forward to it. I will immediately contact the superiors and report your atrocities, and the president will not allow a heinous group like you to go on a rampage. Roman Dmitry. This is where the threats of a swindler like you work.”
I got up and left my seat.
I was just about to leave.
“that word. I will take it as a declaration of war.”
“as you please… .”
snap.
Quaang!
It was a sudden situation.
I tried to ignore Roman Dmitri’s words, but before I could finish, his face fell on the table.
Kwajik.
table is broken
Blood splattered from his face.
The guardians of the capital hurriedly tried to pull out their weapons, but they couldn’t move as if they were enchanted.
powerful life.
body hardened
The faces of the guardians turned pale in front of a predator they could not match.
Roman Dmitry looked at them and said.
“Just give me 10 minutes. bring my people and… .”
Kwadeuk Kwadeuk.
“Quaaaaagh!”
I crushed Moon Tae-joon’s face on the floor.
As pieces of the broken table hit his face, Moon Tae-joon let out a tear-jerking scream.
“Bring a superior above this guy. Not just an investigator, but someone who can handle the war.”
