It is an exceptionally long night.
In an abandoned building filled with the sound of unknown grass insects, we were waiting for news that might come at any time.
“Poetry, Deputy Shin… … .”
Baek Seung-tae’s voice came over the wall.
It was annoying to answer them one by one, so I tried to ignore them by pretending to be asleep. But the opponent persistently calls me.
“Dr. Shin, are you sleeping again? wake up… … hurry.”
“What are you doing?”
“that… … I’m sorry. It’s too cold, but could you give me something to cover?”
Even at night the weather was not cold. Rather, it was closer to the slightly muggy side. But seeing him say that, it seems that his physical condition is quite bad.
“I’m sorry, but there’s nothing to cover this side either.”
“You can just take off your top.”
“I’m wearing only one shirt. Are you asking me to take it off?”
“You can take it off. Originally, when I was young, I would go around with my top uncovered. is not it?”
Listening to the teasing of the early childhood club, the desire to start a fire right away without waiting until morning soars.
If there’s a fire, I don’t know anything else, but the sound of cold will go in.
‘Let’s not get excited. If I just deal with it here and finish it, it won’t pay off.’
The time I suffered because I was unfairly locked up is 7 years and 2 months.
Those were the things that I managed to get out of prison after spending those eons and even pushed them away with a truck.
I didn’t want to end it with just a few minutes of pain.
At least I felt like I had to go through the hell I went through and have them crawl like worms for the rest of their lives.
I see a light shining down the aisle. It looks like you have a new message on your phone.
I heard a constant chatter from the side, but I ignored it and went to check the message.
[I finally unlocked my account. The balance is $38 million. how will we do it? move little by little? Or all?]
38 million dollars is about 44 billion Korean won.
Since the total amount of embezzlement was 180 billion won, it seems that the remaining 136 billion won was put in another account.
One more reason to keep those trash alive.
[Pay for the full amount. ASAP.]
[okay. check]
Leave a short message and return to the room.
In the next room, Baek Seung-tae was still talking to himself.
“I haven’t seen Deputy Shin like that, but he’s too affectionate. When it’s hard, we should live by helping each other. Are you saying that if I just find my way to live, that’s all kicking my luck?”
“You talk as if you would help me when I am in trouble.”
“Of course I have to help. You say that.”
Everything from one to ten is bullsh*t, so I can’t even laugh nonsense. Even so, the reason why it feels natural is probably because I have been constantly talking bullsh*t.
“All right. Then, there is a bag of sacks rolling around on the floor. Can you give me this?”
“If there was such a thing, you should have said it earlier. Come on, put it in this hole.”
“hmm… … wait a minute.”
As I put off my answer, Baek Seung-tae’s voice becomes more and more urgent.
“hurry. I’ll go back to this substitute god? substitute god? Why are you not talking?”
“It’s warmer than I thought because I’m wearing a sacks. I should have been doing this long ago.”
“Don’t play around, pass it quickly.”
I could have kept bouncing the pills up, but that’s not my purpose.
I roll up the sack and put it through the hole.
“Unfortunately, I only have one sack. So please discuss it with the two of us.”
* * *
The night in the abandoned building deepens.
Trapped in the room, the two of them crouched close enough to shoulder to shoulder to overcome the cold.
“… … .”
Baek Seung-tae stares into the void, lost in his soul. It would be nice to be able to fall asleep, but it is not easy because of the environment.
I was cold, thirsty, and hungry, but the smell of feces all over the place made me sick.
Worse still, there is no hope of getting out of here.
‘Who locked us up? It looks like he was after money, but then the culprit is… … Are you a broker?’
There were many people who could be targeted even if they were not brokers. It’s because I’ve been pulling out billions of money a day.
If you think about it again, it’s like spreading rumors around the neighborhood that you have a lot of money.
‘I asked to withdraw only little by little, but Park Min-gyo persisted until the end.’
Executive Director Park Min-gyo was sleeping while rolling up the sack he had just obtained.
I was locked up in a place like this because of him, how many dirty things I did because of him, and I took off my top and pants because of him, but because of him, because of him… … .
“Boss. Are there any sharp objects over there?”
Baek Seung-tae suddenly came to his senses when he heard Shin Woo-hyuk’s voice from the next room.
“I have a tie pin, but what are you going to use it for?”
“I was thinking of opening the door.”
“It’s nonsense. I tried it, but it’s not a structure that can be easily opened.”
Park Min-gyo, who thought he was sleeping at that time, murmurs.
“Just give it.”
“yes?”
“Just give it. You won’t get anything from him if you make fun of him.”
What’s the point of accepting anything? Park Min-gyo would take it all anyway.
“Okay, take it.”
Pass the tie pin through the hole. Then, as I turn around, I keep stepping on the sack that Min-kyo Park is wearing.
“Executive Director, can’t we cover it with a sack?”
Park Min-gyo keeps her eyes closed and doesn’t pretend to hear.
“It’s so cold. Even a corner is fine… … .”
“Don’t talk to me because your stomach hurts.”
“Otherwise, you can cut it in half and use it.”
“Hey, Baek Seung-tae. I’m too small to cover myself, so I’m dying. How can I get you off? just be patient You poor bastard.”
The moment I hear that, I hear a ‘pop’ sound. It was the sound of the string of reason that Baek Seung-tae had been barely holding on to until now.
“A poor bastard? Park Min-gyo, you respectable guy. I’m 3 years older than you. Where are you?
“you… … Are you crazy?”
“Yeah, crazy. What if you’re crazy? You don’t have much ability, but you sit in the executive director’s position due to blood ties, so everyone looks like a dick, right?”
Park Min-gyo, who was crouching down, stood up and grabbed Baek Seung-tae by the collar.
“It looks like you want to go after it.”
“Two! I want to die, so kill me quickly. You’re going to starve here anyway, that’s it!”
“Come on, I’ll kill you as you wish! Let’s rip that mouth first!”
The two grab each other’s collars and shake them.
Then, Baek Seung-tae, who is in a slightly better condition, drags Park Min-gyo and throws him away. It was a place where two people had packed a lot of sh*t.
“I don’t know the grace that this dog raised!”
Park Min-gyo runs into evil. Baek Seung-tae, who wanted to hold on, gradually lost strength and rolled on the floor together, and naturally, he painted his whole body.
About five more minutes later, a loud scraping sound is heard from the next room.
Sigh.
Thanks to the sound, the movement of the two people who were fighting suddenly stopped.
Then I hear the sound of iron rubbing again.
Awesome profit.
clap.
The iron door, which seemed to never open, opens and someone enters.
It was Shin Woo-hyuk who had just taken the tie pin.
He looked back and forth at the two poop-covered people.
“What are you two doing lying down?”
* * *
10 o’clock at night. Incheon International Airport.
Right after I left the abandoned building, I returned to Korea by morning flight.
However, Park Min-gyo and Baek Seung-tae were still staying at a Las Vegas hotel because they lost their passports along with their bags.
“Yes, boss. I just arrived in Korea. How are you two feeling?”
– You’ll be fine after resting.
Baek Seung-tae’s dying voice is heard over the phone.
There may be a bad physical condition, but more than that, I’m worried because I had a great fight with Park Min-gyo.
“Ah, but shouldn’t we report it now? I heard there was something important in the bag.”
-We’ll take care of that, don’t worry about it.
“If you are feeling unwell, I will report you here.”
– Uh huh. even if you don’t care
As soon as I finished the call, I burst into laughter with a ‘poop’.
I bet you two will never report it.
If they are being investigated by the police and their criminal activities are revealed, they will think that is more of a problem.
“Tsk tsk. what can i do You guys have a lot of sins.”
I pass through the airport aisle with light steps.
As I walked out to the arrival hall, Park Tae-shik, who was there to greet me, greeted me.
“Did you arrive safely?”
“of course. Then won’t you be safe?”
Park Tae-sik looks at me with a complicated expression. It sounds like you have a lot to say.
I tapped him on the shoulder and said.
“Let’s go to the car and talk.”
“phew… … Yes, that would be better.”
While going from the arrival hall to the airport parking lot, Park Tae-shik did not say a word. Then, when I got into the car, I let out my words as if I was breathing in.
“What have you been doing in Las Vegas?”
“what?”
“The company you said you signed a contract with was no ordinary company after looking into it. There are rumors that he was connected to some kind of mafia family… … .”
“They’re not connected, they must be the mafia.”
“Is it really?”
I nodded indifferently.
“There is nothing special about the mafia. Security companies, real estate companies, car rental companies, lending companies, all businesses are connected to the Mafia.”

“Oh, no. How did you know those people?”
“I prepared it a month ago.”
A business trip to Las Vegas was an event that had been scheduled for quite some time.
And I knew that money laundering was taking place locally, so I just prepared countermeasures in advance. I didn’t know that it would take the big fish called Park Min-gyo, but I did.
“If you are going to do something dangerous like this next time, please discuss it in advance. huh?”
“It was too dangerous to drag you in.”
“Isn’t it dangerous to move tens of billions of dollars in a secret account in a tax haven?”
Even if you have ten mouths, you have nothing to say. I feel sorry for nothing, so I turn the topic in a different direction.
“Rather than that, did you dispose of the money in the account as I said? It took longer than I thought.”
“That, ha… … Don’t talk. I couldn’t access the account with the duplicated security key. If So-Young hadn’t helped restore it midway through, I still wouldn’t have been able to solve it.”
“Soyoung? Soyoung Lee helped you?”
“huh. Since you asked for it, he helped without saying anything? Anyway, you can see for yourself what happened to the money.”
Park Tae-shik twitched his lips and handed me his phone. On the screen, an electronic wallet that stores cryptocurrency flickers.
