Episode 176. Losers (1)
Oh Jeong-jin, head of the Crisis Management Office of the National Intelligence Service, visited the office of Kim Woo-hyeon, head of the domestic department. After that, there was also Eun Se-hyun.
“What did you come for?”
Kim Woo-hyun was still in a bad mood because of the last incident. In the meantime, Oh Jung-jin came to visit, so I had no choice but to be displeased.
In response, Jeongjin Oh put the tablet she was holding in her right hand onto the desk.
“Do you remember eavesdropping on Camo CEO Han Kang-soo?”
“It did. What more?”
“First of all, there is no special movement against Jennifer Han of Ten Tsubasa International. but… For some reason, the wiretapping device was recently moved to a place called Gangil-dong at the eastern end of Seoul.”
“… movement? So, does that mean CEO Han Kang-soo was aware of the existence of the wiretapping machine?”
It was a possible guess.
In response to Kim Woo-hyun’s question, Jung-jin Oh tapped the tablet to make the screen come on. From there, press the play button in the middle.

.
[You caught it properly.]
[Shall we withdraw right away?]
[…] no. Bernard, you check inside the computer. You check if there is a camera installed here.]

[no way… … .]

Nothing was heard after the sound of the wiretaps being smashed.
Kim Woo-hyun’s expression becomes subtle.
“What is it about? caught? withdrawal?”
“First of all, we found the existence of the wiretapping device and destroyed it. So I went to the place where the last coordinates of the device were taken, but nothing came out.”
“… The name Bernard came up, but is there any information confirmed with that?”
“I checked, too… … .”
Jeongjin Oh stood across from the desk and pushed the tablet screen away.
Then, a picture of a man with dark blond hair and a full beard appeared on the screen.
In response, Jeongjin Oh continued to explain.
“Bernard Grant, born in Russia, born in Spetsnaz, later worked as a mercenary, has been placed on a red wanted notice by Interpol for the assassination of key figures in five countries and bombings in civilian areas.”
“Is this person the name that just came out?”
In summary, it meant that a terrorist had entered the Republic of Korea.
“I don’t know yet because I haven’t checked the face. First of all, the location is a redevelopment area, so we are searching for each vehicle that entered it.”
“When did this happen?”
“… It is last night.”
“Then why did you report it now? Shouldn’t you have known it was moved by GPS?”
It was because it was installed when I had a private conversation with CEO Han Kang-soo.
Of course, the contact was broken due to the interference of the current Minister of National Defense, but Han Kang-soo was still a person who needed attention.
“… sorry. The place where the eavesdropping was conducted was a place where an empty office was temporarily used… . We judged that subsequent wiretapping was meaningless.”
Kim Woo-hyun, who jumped up, swung his palm.
jjaak-
At the same time, Oh Jeong-jin turned his head as he was slapped on the cheek by the palm of his hand.
“I’m calling it an excuse now!”
“… I have no face.”
“Have you not figured out when and how the wiretapping device was moved?”
“After checking, it is estimated to be three days ago.”
“3 days?”
“It was confirmed by CCTV. In the early morning of that date, a person whose identity is difficult to identify broke in. I don’t know if he took the wiretapping, but it’s judged to be the most likely.”
At that explanation, Kim Woo-hyun sat down again and let out a sigh.
Someone who might be aware of the bugger’s existence. Who will benefit from using the wiretaps. Several thoughts crossed in Kim Woo-hyun’s head.
“no way… Cha Jun-seong?”
“Are you talking about the Minister of Defense? Is there any reason to use our wiretaps there?”
“What if you want to use that as an excuse to create an incident and publicize the incident to isolate the NIS?”
The domestic part was now in a state of crisis. If Cheon Joo-hee was not elected in the upcoming presidential election, he did not know that the crisis would materialize with death.

Now, the key was how to reverse the crisis rather than the height of Han Kang-soo.
Woo-woo-woo-woo-
At that time, Eun Se-hyun, who was standing in silence behind her, checked her cell phone that suddenly rang.
“This is a call from the search team.”
“Get it here.”
Thiik—
When the phone was connected, Eun Se-hyun looked around and said.
“This is Eun Se-hyun. The head of the department and the team leader are next to you, so be careful and report.”
[Interpol confirmed that a vehicle carrying a person named Bernard Grand, who was wanted on red, went in the direction of Gangil-dong through Seocho-daero. However, it is not certain because only the direction was inferred.]
Kim Woo-hyun, who was listening to the explanation, interrupted.
“I am the head of the Crisis Management Office. Are you sure it’s really Bernard Grant? Isn’t there an error?”
[Bernard Grant’s intact face was even confirmed when he got out of the vehicle while tracing the vehicle’s movement back. The number of people is estimated to be at least four and up to eight, including Bernard Grant.]
A real international terrorist had entered the country.
At the same time, the brows of Kim Woo-hyun, Oh Jeong-jin, and Eun Se-hyeon were severely wrinkled as if they had chewed sh*t.
Eun Se-hyeon spoke on the phone that was connected right away.
“Has the movement been traced since then?”
[We are checking all CCTVs near the Gangil-dong building. We will report back as soon as the vehicle’s movement is out.]
“Please check where they entered the country and report them.”
[All right.]
The call ended just like that. The atmosphere became more serious than before.
Kim Woo-hyun’s eyes flashed sharply.
“Bernard Grant… . We have to find and catch them all, including him.”
“I will.”
“What are you doing? Hurry up and find it!”
Oh Jeong-jin and Eun Se-hyeon followed his instructions and went out into the hallway. And after walking down the hallway for a while, Oh Jeong-jin looked at Eun Se-hyeon and said.
“Report everything as soon as it comes in. You can mobilize as many people as possible in the Crisis Management Office.”
“I’ll put it right into the chase.”
“Never let this leak out. either the police or the prosecutor. It won’t be good if this is known outside.”
“I will keep that in mind.”
After answering that, Eun Se-hyeon called another team member.
* * *
Simon and Jack entered the representative office of Camo Investment.
Simon didn’t stand out too much, but Jack was different. With a height of more than 2 meters, his large size attracted the attention of busy people.
“and… . How can a person grow that big? Aren’t you a bear?”
“Awesome… … .”
Even the staff member who was guiding them forward glanced backwards.
I was able to arrive at the representative office soon.
When the two went inside, Kang-soo stood up to greet them.
“If the Polish coordinates were a complete trap, it would have been a lot of trouble.”
“Maybe I thought I was fully prepared, but I was rather careless. And Jack, who nearly tore them to pieces, suffered more than I did.”
Beside him, Jack scratched his head, which fell down to his shoulders, as if he was feeling embarrassed.
“Well, it’s because Simon prepared properly.”
“guy… . Ah— what happened to the Blue Guards? They said they were only setting up a new security team.”
They belatedly heard that Blueguard was put under the umbrella of Camo Investment. That’s why it’s different from the original plan.
“Somehow it happened. Did you guess the number of people for the new team?”
“Not all, but in moderation. however… … .”
Simon looked up at Jack, who was sitting across from him.
Sensing that the atmosphere had become strange, Kang-soo felt ominous and asked.
“What was the problem?”
“You will need more training. However, I think it will be possible after being discharged from the hospital.”
“… Discharge? What do you mean? no way-“
Kangsu could figure out the cause of the ominousness.
“This guy is training, and he was sent to the hospital more than half of the time while sparring. Well— at first, I wondered if it was scary and didn’t dare. Seeing that some of his colleagues had been badly beaten, he turned around and ran at them. There was loyalty.”
At that moment, Kangsu sighed as he listened to Simon’s explanation.
“Whoa—is it serious?”
“I think I need at least 4 weeks for a replacement.”
I could guess roughly how bad it was.
Kangsu looked at Jack.
“Do it in moderation… … .”
“It’s a place where Cap will run, so how do you do it properly? Frankly, that’s not enough.”
Jack was sincere.
Of course, Kangsu knew that fact better than anyone else.
“What are you talking about? That’s right, you have to teach it right. You can think of getting hurt beforehand as it will hurt you later.”
Woo-woo-woo-woo-
During the conversation, Kang-soo’s cell phone rang in his arms. I received it right away when I saw ‘Lim Chun-seong’ floating on the screen.
[It is said that those who entered through Gungpyeong Port appeared in the Cheonggyecheon complex. When I checked, I heard that I entered a place called ‘Goo Communication’ to find out something.]
“… All right.”
Of course, Im Chun-seong did not know who Kang-su was. Only the necessary information was received through the Daepo phone.
The call hung up right away.
After that, Kangsu looked at Simon and Jack.
“They both just came and I need to get up.”
“Is it work?”
“Please do anything!”
The three of them left the office.

Near Cheonggyecheon Seongwoon Shopping Center.
In a darker alleyway than at night, a store fire was lit.
「Goo communication」
Half of the signboards were out of order, and the other half was busy blinking at the edge of life.
In such a store, the owner Gu Sang-wook checked something in front of three foreigners. The foreigners were Bernard and his men.
“hmm… … .”
What Gu Sang-wook held in his hand was a broken wiretapping device the size of a thumbnail. I checked it carefully with a magnifying glass.
Meanwhile, Bernard, who was standing across from him, glared at Koo Sang-wook with a scary expression and spoke in English.
“What is taking so long? I heard that you are competent, so I came here.”
“Hmm—the gear is pretty state-of-the-art, so I guess it’s under-updated.”
In fact, Gu Sang-wook knew that as soon as he handed out the wiretapping device, it was an item handled by the NIS.
In addition, the atmosphere of Bernard and the two men accompanying him was unusual. A sense of danger permeated the moment they met.
Koo Sang-wook, a former member of the National Intelligence Service, could not fail to notice.
“So you don’t know?”
“No, not even that.”
It was also questionable how the NIS equipment fell into their hands. I was going to inform the NIS, but I couldn’t because Bernard and his men were clamoring to find out right away.
That wasn’t the only problem. Pistols loomed through the open slit of the men’s jackets and shirts.
I didn’t know that if I didn’t know, I would be killed as if I didn’t know.
“Isn’t that incompetent? If you do, you have no choice but to take it somewhere else… … .”
Bernard’s hand went into his bosom.
At that time, Ku Sang-wook opened his hesitant mouth.
“First of all, from my point of view, it looks like equipment used by a fairly professional institution.”
“Agency?”
It was a tone that demanded further explanation.
Koo Sang-wook pondered for a moment before continuing.
“The microphone inserted inside is the same as MICO’s EER-939 model, and the signal generator in the GPS part is the WA12’s TET433A12 model. It’s very cutting edge… … .”
“so… I don’t know where the model is used?”
In response to Bernard’s question, Koo Sang-wook decided that if he told him that the equipment came from the NIS, he might kill himself. Second by second, I became more and more nervous as time passed.
“Are you wasting your time unnecessarily?”
“Oh no! What time am I wasting it! It’s not like I’m killing time because I have an appointment.”
“Then speak quickly. If you know the parts that well, you probably don’t even know how to use them in Korea.”
“So, to be honest, with this kind of equipment, anyone can get it in Korea with just a little bit of money.”
“Something like this?”
Koo Sang-wook thought it was all or nothing and started to talk about it.
“Look at this. Aren’t there a lot of similar ones here!”
At the same time, I walked to the side and pushed aside the bookshelf built on the wall. As the empty space was revealed, various wiretapping and recording equipments were displayed inside.
