139 episodes. This is the back.
Two people come to mind right now.
Bang Won-ryang, the boss of the Triad 14K, and Son Young-seok.
Among them, the most likely suspect is the latter, Deputy Minister Son Young-seok.
Because the Korean embassy moved.
“Lucy goes with me, and Yoohyeon, you go to Yang and tell me about this.”
Then the remaining Liausin asked.
“What should I do?”
“You go and look around James Thorne.”
“James Thorne? Maybe…?”
“Probably that way.”
“Did you know each other?”
“You don’t know me there, but I do know a little bit about him. With James Thorne’s status, you can move the Korean Consulate General.”
“All right.”
I said looking back at Lieutenant Liu Zhenyu.
“Let’s go, I don’t know what’s going to come out of the investigation.”

Park Yoo-hyeon went straight to Yang Ah-gwan and Du Moon-jeong.
By the way, they were just coming out of the casino VVIP grandstand.
“Fortunately, you’re still there.”
“Mr. Park, what’s going on?”
“That’s where our representative got into trouble.”
Park Yoo-hyeon immediately told me about what had happened in front of the hotel.
After Yang Yang-kwan heard that, he immediately called David.
It was because of the judgment that it was better to move his acquaintances than to move himself.
“Mr. Wolf, I am the foster child.”
– What’s going on? Did you find out Lana’s whereabouts?
“It’s not that, there’s a problem, so I called.”
-Is that a problem?
“Mr. Jin was arrested a while ago. According to Mr. Park, the Korean Consulate General said that Interpol was moved, but it seems like a conspiracy.”
-Who is that? Did you get your hands on Bang Won-ryang?
“No. No matter how wide his feet are, he can’t even move to a foreign embassy. Mr. Jin seems suspicious of his quarter-final opponent, James Sohn… More important than that, he has to get out of there quickly. I wonder if Stanley Wu would be able to do it.
I asked him because he thought it would be possible with just one phone call from his Macao.
-All right. Please wait for now. I’ll get back to you.
“Please.”
Yang A-kwan hung up the phone and told Park Yoo-hyeon.
“You go to the police station and stay with the teacher. Me and the two bosses will get to know each other better.”
“All right.”

David took the elevator from the casino hall to the top floor.
There was the office of Grens Wu, vice president of SWM Group.
“How did you get here?”
“Brother Grens, are you in? Tell him that David Wolf is here.”
“Are you an acquaintance of the president?”
“Yes. And I’m also a VVIP invited to this poker tournament.”
David pulled out an invitation from his pocket and showed it to him.
“Please wait a moment.”
After the secretary entered and exited the office, David was able to enter.
There, a middle-aged man in his mid-fifties was standing up from his seat, covering the payment plate.
“David, how much is this?”
“It’s been a while, bro. Are you younger?”
“You’re getting younger, you’re getting old day by day because you’re wrestling with paperwork.”
“For that kind of thing, the skin is tight.”
“You’ve been praised, what’s going on? You’ve been on the casino blacklist, and you said you’d never see it again.”
“What do you want to do at the casino? I’m here to gamble.”
“What? Are you off the blacklist? It’s strange, I can’t make a payment like that.”
“Isn’t that also by invitation? Haha.”
“Who’s inviting you to the casino? What kind of madman are you?”
David waved the invitation and said.
“It’s a competition, it’s a competition. They borrowed the SWM name, but they say that the organizers are 14K.”
“Ah, that. It was a competition that the director said himself. Maybe. It was said that it was for VVIP, so he invited you there? Why did you release the wolf among the rabbits?”
“I don’t know.”
David tickled his mouth to explain why, but he held it back.
Variables should not arise prematurely before Lana’s safety is secured.
Knowing that casino competitions were used in the triad’s power struggle, it was clear that Grens Wu wouldn’t be able to stand still.
“It’s soft. It seems that the chief of the Bang Bang is paying a lot of attention to this tournament.”
“Brother, how’s your relationship with President Bang Won-ryang? In business, regardless of the competition.”
“What about it? I’ve been working with my father since I was a kid, so I trust him. I’ve never had any problems.”
“Is that so.”
You could tell by his attitude.
It’s nothing more, nothing less than just a business relationship.
As expected, Grens Wu seemed overwhelmed just sitting on the throne he inherited and running the casino.
So, you are not paying attention to the dark side.
‘After all, even if you blow 14K, your brother won’t care.’
David shook his head and spoke about the purpose of his visit.
“Brother, I have a favor to ask you.”
“Huh? Please?”
“Could you please give some effort to the Judicial Police Department?”
That would be possible if Grens Wu had fully inherited Yang as well.
David was hoping he could get things done through him rather than meeting Stanley Wu right away.
Probably because he was more comfortable than the previous generation, Stanley Wu.
“Why there? What’s going on?”
“A friend I know was taken there. I think it has something to do with the poker tournament.”
“Tell me more.”
David is two Koreans who will fight in the quarterfinals.
And the day before the competition, he told me about the police action at the request of the Korean Consulate General.
“Hmm, if the other person is a high-ranking person in the Korean government, I have doubts.”
“That’s right. And the charge is habitual gambling and violating the Foreign Exchange Control Act, and the friend is a permanent resident of Australia, and he came from there, so the plot is certain.”
“Okay, I’ll call you right away, so don’t worry too much. Still, SWM’s name is on the signboard of the tournament, so players who made it to the semi-finals shouldn’t be in trouble because of such snarling.”
“Thank you, brother.”
“Instead, I’m going to brush off the blacklist with this, okay?”
“I see. Haha.”
David smiled and continued.
“How are you today?”
“Father? Are you still correcting it?”
“It means that you are still doing it other than your health. They say you haven’t been outside yet.”
“Ah, that. It’s better than before, but I think you’re thinking about it sometimes. They say that once in a while they just stare at the sea, all day long.”
“…I guess I still miss Uncle Gary.”
“I haven’t even sent one or two acquaintances so far, but that’s the case.”
“That’s why the two of you have so many memories. So, by the way, shall we stop by sometime? To greet you after a long time.”
Grens Wu gladly replied.
“Do that. When I see your face, my father will like it. Do you know where it is?”
***
Interpol.
It is an international police organization established to cooperate and cooperate with police from all over the world when criminals flee abroad.
However, the name is only an organization, and if you look at the reality, it is only to the extent that police organizations in each country share information.
Investigation authority also rested with the national police, not Interpol.
Therefore, it could be said that the actual moving country and the local police have more direct and powerful authority than the grand name of Interpol.
“When the hell is the consulate officer coming?”
It’s already been two hours and I’m getting annoyed because there’s no news.
Lieutenant Liu Zhenyu, who arrested me, was also slow.
“I called you earlier, so I’ll be back soon. Please wait patiently.”
“Then do the research I mentioned earlier.”
“As I said, if the consulate comes, the investigation will proceed after determining the circumstances of the incident. So please wait.”
Gnome wait, wait.
“Lucy, haven’t you contacted me yet?”
“……yes.”
If the nursery doesn’t work directly, I’ll contact Stanley Wu through David, but I haven’t heard from him yet.
“Then Davy…”
Without speaking, I looked at the man coming in from the entrance to the police station.
Because he could tell he was from the consulate by looking at the diplomat badge.
“This is Kang Seung-won, a diplomat from the Korean Consulate General.”
“Long time no see, Mr. Kang. How have you been?”
“Ah, Lieutenant Ryu? Somehow, you said you were quick to respond. You don’t know how grateful I am for always being so cooperative, haha.”
Did you two know each other?
Sharing personal friendships in such a place is obvious, really.
“This is the wanted suspect who requested cooperation from here. Since you have verified your identity, can Mr. Kang tell you about the incident?”
“Iza is a Korean citizen and engaged in habitual high-cost gambling regardless of domestic or overseas. The details of the incident are the same as in the official document. Isn’t that right, Edward Jin? No, Mr. Jin Yu-seong.”
“On what grounds do you say that I have been gambling for a long time?”
“That’s because there was an anonymous tip, so I can’t reveal it, wouldn’t it be possible to know just by attending an unofficial poker tournament where billions of dollars come and go in a single game?”
Anonymous report? That alone makes Interpol wanted?
Moreover……
“So I spent billions on the competition?”
“Isn’t it? I heard that only the basic stake there is tens of thousands of won.”
“It’s funny. Wanting people to Interpol without knowing for sure. If in doubt, check with the organizers. I gambled with the default stack provided by the casino.”
“How much did you win with that basic stack? Isn’t it about 60 billion Korean won? No, you won 60 billion with the basic stack, which is only about 500 million?
“You should check that with the casino operation headquarters, too. You can’t exchange money until the tournament is over, and it’s classified as a deposit, so all the records will be there.”
“I just confess honestly now. Then it will be extenuating. What is the total amount of foreign currency stolen from Korea?”
Hmm, don’t you know I’m an Australian immigrant?
“Did you not even look at the immigration records? I’m an Australian permanent resident and came here right away. So, it can’t be considered as violating Korea’s Foreign Exchange Control Act?”
“Then how about this? Seeing you say you are a permanent resident, it seems you haven’t been to Australia for a while… I changed a considerable amount from Korean Won to Australian Dollars and Hong Kong Dollars for the pretext of immigration. tell me.”
Such a sarcastic dog.
You’re going to stick with anything.
“You look like you’re trying to frame me, can you handle it?”
“Could you? I don’t think that’s what Jin Yu-seong said.”
Kang Seung-won, who responds softly, seemed to trust his back.
– Ji-ing. Jiing.
In his arms, the phone vibrated and cried.
I smiled at the caller.
“Listen, I think I called because I was curious about what happened to Manager Jang Min-soo.”
“……!”
Kang Seung-won got up from his seat with surprised rabbit eyes and headed outside.
I could infer the conversation by looking at every movement of his lips.
And he said calmly to him when he returned.
“Leave him for three days, after the investigation is over, you just have to explain and release the mistake. If you do that, I’ll give you the position of Consul-General in Europe you want. It’s cliché.”
“……!”
“Isn’t a diplomat really bad at managing his facial expressions?”
“What are you?”
“If you ask me like that, would it be more like admitting it? In such a case, you just have to take it off, you’re clumsy.”
It was when Kang Seung-won closed his mouth like a honey-eaten dumb and blew a cold sweat.
The door to the police station opened and a middle-aged man in a police uniform entered.
“Shut up, Chief of Police!”
Everyone inside stood up at once and bowed their heads towards him.
Kang Seung-won straightened his shrugged shoulders and spit out a word to himself.
“What did you move to the Chief of Police, I have to deal with it.”
Kang Seung-won, who was elated as he got up from his seat, quickly blinked as he saw the police chief passing by.
The police chief shook his head at me and said.
“I have caused inconvenience unintentionally. I will take action so that you can leave immediately.”
This is the back.
