379 – [7] Patience
#379
When I came out, there was a man standing holding a vase.
He was a fat outsider with a bushy beard, and his hard work was clearly visible.
“Investigator Moreno.”
“I came to visit because of investigation-related matters.”
The investigator put the vase on the shelf and then pulled a chair from the corner and sat down.
Kang Xian sat across from him.
“Has the investigation progressed quite a bit?”
“In my own way. “The people who are believed to have planted the bomb in the vehicle have now been caught.”
It was a matter of relief.
Those damn bastards were caught.
The investigator handed over a file to Kang Xian.
It was something filled with someone’s personal information written on it.
“These are the identities of those currently caught as the perpetrators of the bomb planting.”
“Ah…… “But it was caught sooner than expected.”
“Those who said they committed terrorism confessed. So what…… “I caught it early.”
“Confession?”
It was a statement that made me doubt my ears.
A confession means you revealed that you were the culprit?
“A sudden confession…” … Why… ….”
“No, well, they said that even in their opinion, this incident was serious and that he confessed.”
“Well, what is that…” ….”
Kang Xian trembled his hands.
Finally, he quickly looked through the contents written on the document.
Then, he was able to discover some strange content.
The item was the motive for the crime.
“…… Because they rejected their flirting? “Is this the motive for the crime?”
When I saw the face there, I realized who it was.
It was none other than a group of lesbians who attacked Kang Xian while he was at the cafe.
“Yes, because I saw it. Mr. Sian found their flirting very insulting…… “You said you refused?”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about. I have never once received an insulting refusal. Moreover, these people approached me thinking I was a woman from the beginning.”
Insulting? Even if it was insulting, Kang Xian was more insulting.
Critically, such a thing could not be a justifiable reason for an act of terrorism.
“Really? Considering that…… What Mr. Xian said was clearly recorded?”
In fact, the investigator took out a small tape recorder, whether he knew it or not.
Then something of uncertain sound quality came out of the recorder.
– “No, just a moment’s phone number─ $#!$$%^#@!”
– “Sorry, that’s not what I meant─ @$!#$%$%^#&^$#”
.
.
.
– “Ah…… But really─ $#@#%@$@#@!”
– “Ha, these bastards are real. Check out these bitches. Won’t it turn off?! I— $#%$@@$@@@%@”
The important information is a shattered tape recorder.
The recording even ended with Kang Xian’s words.
“Who recorded it?”
“It’s not that important…” … “First of all, is this conversation true?”
“Why isn’t that important? “Isn’t that because it could be fabricated data?”
“Well, first of all, it’s true. All right.”
The conversation was carried out haphazardly.
Kang Xian shook his head and glared at the investigator.
“I never said it was true. On the contrary, I never said no.”
“Then answer me. Is this really true? “Has there ever been a conversation like this?”
“Before that, please tell me first where and how you got it. “As a victim, don’t you have the right to know these things?”
“I’m sorry, but I have a duty to protect witnesses.”
“Then am I not a witness? “I am also a victim and a witness.”
The investigator was impressed.
It’s as if he doesn’t like Kang Xian’s attitude.
“There is a reason for asking this. Well, don’t get angry and just answer whatever I ask.”
Decades of experience is not something that just happens.
Because the investigation is finally completed through this.
Those words even came out.
Kang Xian looked somewhat shocked.
“The investigation is complete. Has the investigation progressed to the point where such a thing has already been said?”
“That’s what they say. Of course, since the criminals have surrendered, I wonder if there is anything more to investigate.”
“Investigator!”
It was absurd.
Kang Xian kicked off her seat and stood up.
“This is terrorism! How can the investigation be stopped already! “At the very least, we need to find out who is behind it!”
The motive for the crime was refusal to flirt, but it made no sense that it led to a bombing.
But now they say they have come to terms with such nonsense and will close the investigation.
Kang Xian wondered if the person in front of him had a conscience.
Of course, there were none, so I quickly got up from my seat.
“We decide who is behind it. It’s not for you to judge. And that’s it. To be honest, it’s a little too big to call this a terrorist attack…….”
“A corporate executive was blown up by a bomb and was crushed to death. “Isn’t it terrorism?”
“This is not terrorism, it is…… It’s usually called attempted murder…… That’s right. Yes, attempted murder. “It’s perfect.”
“Attempted murder?!”
“Moreover, isn’t it also their fault that the other victim ended up in the hospital?”
“What?”
It was a series of absurd sounds.
He even strangely blamed Kang Xian for the crime.
“The scene of him cutting off another victim’s leg was recorded on CCTV on the street. “Isn’t there a possibility that it may have been mixed because of that?”
“How is it the same as having your leg cut off, receiving internal injuries from a bomb, and having your whole body crushed and burned!”
“That’s what they say. “And you keep getting angry, so if you cooperate with the investigation like this, you may be at a disadvantage in court.”
“Are you threatening me now?”
“This is not a threat, but rather ‘guidance.'”
Jang Xian gritted his teeth.
No matter how many police officers had a coercive attitude, it was like they were erasing the guilt of the perpetrators.
There, the amount of sins that were erased was being thrown at Kang Xian.
It’s like he doesn’t want things to escalate.
In reality, a thousand seats were too many to keep things from getting too big.
Although he was an academy cadet, he was on the list of board members of a large company.
Also, Kang Xian was said to be a temporary employee, but he still had a position.
It was safe to say that he was in the highest position among hunters belonging to a large company.
A position that only an A-class hunter or an S-class hunter would receive.
It was not a place to look funny.
“Anyway, here’s the recording. “Is it real?”
“If only I could call something with crappy sound quality ‘real’!”
Kang Xian looked at the investigator as if he was truly disgusted.
The investigator wrote something down whether Kang Xian said it or not.
“Then you admit that Mr. Sian provoked the perpetrators to some extent.”
“Huh… ….”
“Hmm, and if you look at the evidence and physical evidence of both sides, there is no apparent external intervention. “The results will come out soon”
“Fuck you, mom.”
“Yes? What did you say?”
Swearing words were spat out.
Kang Xian took a step forward.
The investigator was shocked to see Kang Xian, who was more than 20cm taller than him.
To be precise, I was a little embarrassed by the overbearing approach.
“Investigator, how much money did you get from that bastard?”
“…… What? “What are you eating?”
“It is literally so. How much did you receive? $1,000? $10,000? $100,000? Yes?”
The retreat has begun.
Kang Xian lowered her face, full of burns, as if in anger.
“I’m not sure how much you ate, but you ate on the wrong side.”
“Well, I’m not sure what you’re talking about.”
“You don’t know. “If you look at what I’ve said so far, I think you know very well.”
Even if a neighborhood bastard comes by, he will recognize you right away.
This damned investigator took her money from that drug dealer.
No, maybe he could have accepted something other than money.
Tea? House? Precious metals? Nothing would be strange.
“Let’s be honest. “How much did you receive to try to get over such a serious repercussions like this?”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about. “I don’t know who you’re talking about, but I didn’t receive a single penny.”
“Then why on earth are you trying to end the investigation like this? Could it be that you didn’t receive it, but rather there was an order from above?”
Jaw.
I finally reached the wall.
The investigator slowly moved towards the door, sweating.
He is brazenly trying to get away with an insulting investigation.
Kang Xian felt that he truly hated the man in front of him.
“Me. No, Nartica will never forget the investigator’s actions.”
“…… !”
“Take care of your family.”
“That, that remark, could be used against you in court later.”
“Think so. “This is my own self-defense.”
Then he took a few steps back.
The investigator who heard the warning noticed, quickly opened the door and ran away.
It was a damn reality.
Kang Xian held her head and eventually picked up the vase that the investigator had left behind.
Click!
Chimi was thrown to the floor in anger.
Flowers scattered, bottles split, and something strange fell out.
“…… What.”
A small electronic device that appears to have been contained in a vase.
I looked closely at whether the floor was soaked with water or not.
Soon, I came to read some small writing.
‘Sound Recorder? A tape recorder?’
It was none other than a tape recorder.
Laughs and curses flowed out according to instinct.
In a hurry, I wrapped it with wet towels and other miscellaneous items and placed it in a thick box.
Because it could become evidence that cannot be destroyed, the recording was blocked as a temporary measure.
“Such a life… ….”
How should I respond to the other person’s aggressive behavior?
I thought about it and eventually called Ayaka.
– “Yes, boss. This is Ayaka. “I’m on the first floor of the hospital right now.”
“Ayaka, are there bodyguards on the first floor?”
– “Yes. “All the bodyguards are with Nartica employees.”
“The investigator is coming down now. “He seems like a bastard who took bribes.”
– “Ah… ….”
“Choose those who are good at tailing among the bodyguards and Nartica employees and tell them to tail that bastard.”
– “I understand.”
And then he hung up.
It was a moment of confusion as to what to do next.
* * *
The next day came, and time passed by again.
Thanks to my additional response, my emotions had eased a little.
Tiriring~!
Suddenly the phone rang.
The person who called was Nasua.
– “Si, Sian!”
“Soo-a sister? “What’s going on?”
– “Home, in front of the house now…… !”
– “You fucking colored bastard! Would you like to hang on a cross sometime?!”

An unusual voice was heard.
That person seemed clearly to be Ines.
– “Ahh! Evil! “Kwaak!”
– “What’s in your hand! “I’ll take it right away!”
– “God! “I’m sending one more guy up!”
– “Huh? Ugh?! “Don’t kill me!”
Next, Shannon’s voice.
It was clear that something very big had happened.
– “Now, someone got caught trying to install something, something, on my car!”
Kang Xian trembled with her hands.
She used her patience as much as she could, calmed down Su-ah and told her what to do.
Then, she hung up.
And then, just like yesterday, he called his secretary.
The conversation that followed was obvious.
– “Yes? “A terrorist attack almost occurred in front of my house?”
“Go to the front of the house right now and protect my acquaintances. And tell the Puerto Rico branch to hand over the terrorist.”
– “I understand.”
I sighed deeply.
I had to respond like I did yesterday, but other than a legal and defensive response, I had no idea what to do.
* * *
Another day has passed.
Cheonma-ri was still lying in the hospital room.
Kang Xian was under extreme stress due to the strange news he received every day.
On the other hand, there was conflict about what was legal to do within one’s authority.
I feel like my mind is falling into the abyss.
And then something happened that crossed the abyss and fell into the abyss.
Kang Xian received a letter from a nurse.
The nurse also said she received it from an unknown person, so it wasn’t 100% a love letter or anything.
“What kind of convenience is this?” … Ah.”
It contained a letter with a short phrase and numerous photos.
As soon as Kang Xian saw her first photos, she dropped the rest of the photos on the floor.
– [Your family.]
A thousand grandparents and other relatives.
Kang Xian’s aunt and uncle.
There were photos that seemed to have been taken of them from a distance.
Of course, given that the location was Korea, there was a high possibility that no significant harm could be done, but in any case, it was clear that it was a big deal at the time it was filmed.
Kang Xian walked into the bathroom, and she took a deep breath, looking at herself.
It was an attempt to regain her patience and composure.
But things have already piled up.
I couldn’t find reason, and my anger rose first.
“You damn bastard!”
Boom! Damn it!
A fist thrown out in anger.
Pieces of the mirror fell onto the sink.
The reddened golden eyes were reflected in the mirror fragments.
Kang Xian bit her lip.
“Because I’m not enough, are you going to harm my acquaintances and family?”
Although she didn’t know it herself, the others had clearly crossed her line.
If Kang Xian had been hit alone, she could have been considered karma for what she had done so far, but no more.
She had a picture in her head of what to do next and how to do it.
At the same time, her patience and composure also quickly built up.
“I can’t take it anymore.”
Of course, it was patience and calmness about illegal means, not legal means.
The lingering attachment to legal means was thrown away in vain.
Also, a decision was made on a matter she had been worrying about for several days.
It was a decision that she would have definitely liked if a thousand people had seen it.
‘If you turn out like that, I’ll give you back several times as much.’
I opened the drawer in the corner.
And then I picked up a different cell phone than the one lying on the bed.
It was a mobile phone used when security was needed.
I made a call, and the recipient was not my secretary.
– “Master Xian?”
Baek So-eun.
A thousand secretaries.
He was one of the few people who could move Nartica.
With Kang Xian himself.
– “Why did you call me…?” ….”
“I’m calling because there’s someone I want to kidnap. “Can you help me?”
– “…… Is it one?”
“It’s a bit much.”
Of course, kidnapping was not the end.
I didn’t bother to say the pleasant things that would happen next.
