Episode 38. frenzy
After driving the car to the blind spot of CCTV, Kangsu parked it, took off his mask, changed clothes, and walked out so that he would not be tracked.
Early in the morning, there are few people. Because of that, he could rather be tracked, so he needed to be as careful as possible.
Woo-woo-woo-woo-
As I was walking down the alley, my cell phone rang in my pocket.
[Did you really throw it at the police station?]
It was Gong Chi-young.
“that’s right.”
[I’d rather torture myself.]
“It doesn’t blow anyway.”
[Even if they don’t know about you, they might try to put the blame on you.]
The captain died at Gungpyeong Port.
You will find it in the morning. That’s why he threw the pistol Min Hwan-sik used.
So that the evidence may fit…
“You do not have to worry. You won’t know about me anyway. And since he’s been caught, he’ll move from there.”
[You mean behind it?]
Min Hwan-sik was the bait.
If there’s a problem, anyone will move to deal with him.
That was the number Kangsu was aiming for right away.
“that’s right. Rather, I must go back to the hospital.”
This is because he was hospitalized at JY Hospital until earlier.
While tracking down Min Hwan-shik, Gong Chi-yeong found traces on the CCTV near his house in Seoul and ran out.
And by narrowly arriving at Gungpyeong Port, he was able to stop Min Hwan-shik from smuggling.
In addition, the wound burst while fighting Min Hwan-shik earlier. I managed to stop the bleeding as soon as possible, but it seemed like I would have to stitch it up again.
[Ah, but why did you arrive at the police station late?]
It was 30 minutes later than the original arrival time.
“Kim Chun-pyeong. I was robbing the organization of the captain who died there.”
[There? Did anything come out?]
“I found the stowaway ledger. I will tell you later.”
Captain Kim Chun-pyeong must have been involved with Min Hwan-shik.
Of course, there were no direct traces. That’s why I found the ledgers that I had sent or imported so far.
The morning sun was rising.
After Kang-soo finished talking to Gong Chi-young, he left the alley and caught a taxi.
There were two cell phones.
When I turned on my cell phone, which I had originally turned off, more than 50 missed call notifications from Jin Soo-hyeok arrived.
* * *
[The chief secretary of J department store, who thought he committed suicide, survives. What is the identity of the body found by suicide?]
[What is the truth about the suicide corpse and Mr. Min who survived?]
[Video of Mr. Min’s kidnapping of Mr. Wu, murder, not suicide?]
[Gungpyeong Port smuggling broker Mr. Kim, found murdered… The suspect is presumed to be an aunt who worked together…]
There was a video that was distributed with human life in each media outlet.
In the video, Woo Joon-joon, who was in the car, was attacked by Min Hwan-shik, who appeared from the back seat.
Afterwards, Min Hwan-sik sat in the driver’s seat and even drove the car.
On the big TV, the news about the incident came out nonstop.
pop-
“I will turn around.”
The person who muttered quietly was Cho Young-gil, head of Infectus Investment Korea.
Jo Young-gil was sitting at his desk in his office.
I put the remote control down on the spot and massaged my temples with both hands.
woo woo woo woo woo woo
A vibration echoed in the drawer.
When I opened it, ‘NY’ was stamped on the screen of the cell phone inside.
Without a moment’s hesitation, I pressed the call button.
At this, a calm yet sharp voice of a middle-aged woman was heard in English.
[Things went wrong.]
“It’s not a big deal.”
[Could we have decided that alone?]
“···no.”
[Did you find a solution?]
The news just hit me.
How many thoughts could you have had in less than a day?
Jo Young-gil did not shut his mouth even though he was so helpless.
“Anyway, you’re the one who can’t move properly. If you have someone take care of it, there will be no problem.”
[·······.]
There was no answer. As the silence continued, Jo Young-gil sensed that something was wrong.
However, Jo Young-gil also had no suitable method.
“Will it be a problem?”
[How long has it been since the branch manager, Young-Gil Cho, sat there?]
“That’s… about five years.”
[The seat must have made people arrogant. I mean, you’re talking about processing in this situation. Did you decide to reveal us?]
At that moment, Jo Young-gil’s expression hardened.
I don’t know if it was before. Because they were now on equal footing.
“Anyway, processing is the only way. Or do you have any other tricks?”
[If you don’t mind, can I make a suggestion?]
“···no. I don’t listen. I will take care of this matter.”
Inevitable accidents bring disadvantages.
In such a situation, do you defer the solution to others?
It’s no different than asking to be killed.
In response, Jo Young-gil wiped her mouth with his left palm as if rubbing it, waiting for her answer.
[I see. Instead, it seems that the passage on the Korean side needs to be rechecked for a while.]
“Don’t worry, I’ll make sure there’s no problem.”
[Excuse me.]
“You do that. Jennifer Hahn.”

Kang-soo was about to be discharged after only spending three days in the hospital.
However, Lee Ji-yoon, who became her eldest mother, stood in the way.
It must have been hard for them to go through scary things, but they started thinking about Kang-soo who saved them.
“You should be discharged after your wounds are fully healed.”
“I’m really fine now.”
“no. The West will be worried too. So let’s just stay for a week or so.”
“…”
To be honest, one of the reasons why Kangsu confided his existence to his father was that he seemed indifferent.
Most of them were like that when I was in charge of protecting VVIPs at Ejisto.
They were busy biting each other. The interest is when the family takes more shares or the business is successful…?
However, the family of Jinyeon Group was a little (?) different from other conglomerates.
Except for one person, of course…
“Understand?”
These were the words of Lee Ji-yoon, who is also the chairman of JY Hospital.
“I see….”
“good! Then my aunt will go to work.”
Lee Ji-yoon’s condition still did not look good.
In addition, I even finished the funeral of Woo Joon-jun yesterday morning.
I heard that Jin Yeon-seok said that he did not have to force himself to attend… Lee Ji-yoon said that he kept his seat until the end, probably not feeling comfortable.
My father, Jin Soo-hyeok, came after the funeral and said it like a complaint.
After Lee Ji-yoon left, Kang-soo let out a sigh.
“What the hell are they doing…”
It wasn’t because he couldn’t be discharged from the hospital, but because of the ledger he found from Kim Chun-pyeong the other day.
[S – 2 – 7,000]
[D – 2 – 8,000]
[C-1-4,000]
.
.
S stands for Shanghai, D stands for Dalian, C stands for Qingdao. Number of people and amount.
Originally, Qingdao was Q, but it seemed to be written extremely simply. Or somewhere else…
In addition, as Gong Chi-young found out, there was no account record at all, as if the transaction was only in cash.
There was Kim Chun-pyeong’s cell phone, but it was just a useless phone number to see if there was a way to contact him.
Soon after, Kang-soo found the clamshell phone that Gong Chi-yeong had given him and took it out.
It’s because the opponents need to be careful because they are guys who prepared a dummy corpse for suicide.
I took a number with my open cell phone and wrote a message.
「VZDJ-QA-VFM-QVU-USI」
“send”
A message has been sent.
“I wonder if you still remember this…”
Woo-woo-woo-woo-
The cell phone in Kang’s hand rang.
[Davvero Soo?]
I heard a woman’s voice in Italian that I couldn’t believe.
“Esatto, ? passato del tempo (Yes, long time no see).”
Kang-su’s answer surprised her even more.
[Soo! What happened! There has been no contact for three years!]
“Sorry, Teresa. There were some circumstances.”
[Still, how can you not contact me for 3 years? Where are you now? How have you been?]
Her name is Teresa Lily. Former Ejisto’s colleague and subordinate.
After thinking about this for a while, Kangsu said.
“Um—I’m in Korea now. Are you still the head of part 2?”
It was because I had heard that she was going up when leaving Ejisto.
[no. Ejisto came out before, now it’s America. But Korea? Are you going back to your hometown and working?]
“I am working on… So, is there anyone I know left on the Italian side?”
It was to find out about the headquarters of Infectus Investment.
However, the person who quit Ejisto was not allowed to contact his superiors in private or visit them blindly.
Since it is a place where VVIPs are in charge of personal affairs, as the closest aide, they thoroughly managed so that their weaknesses were not caught.
It’s to the point of starting as a smuggling so that there are no records of leaving the country from the time of joining the company…
That’s why I contacted Teresa, who I thought was a close friend.
[Before I came out, most of the part leaders changed. The only one left is the representative?]
“That would be natural. Have you ever heard of a company called Infectus Investments? It seems like the company I was at when I was there, but there is too much information.”
[Infectus? If it’s there… is it the past? I think the representative once refused a security request.]
Kang-soo was surprised.
Ejisto’s representative, Carlos Costa, was a mercenary and bodyguard in the past, just like Kang-soo. Later, he served as an executive at a famous defense company in the United States.
At that time, he felt skeptical about the idea of ‘involuntary death’ and created the security company ‘Ejisto’.
When it comes to security work, unless it’s a social crime, I tend to do it unconditionally… It was very strange.
Kangsu felt suspicious even thinking about it.
“okay. Thanks for letting me know. Teresa.”
[Ah, Soo! Where do you work for the company now? Can I go to Korea?]
“···no. I’ll just hang up.”
[Soo! Soo!]
pop-
After Kang-soo finished the call, he pulled out the SIM card from his phone and folded it.
“I’ll have to ask for another one.”
“Can a manager use a VIP room like this?”
“If you come, come in. Why are you standing there?”
It was Gong Chi-young.
Kang also knew that he had been standing in front of the hospital room door since earlier.
“I stopped by for a visit. here.”
A box of colorful fruit drinks was placed on the table.
Kang-soo smiled dejectedly at the too formal appearance and took out a bottle and drank it.
“How is the PC room?”
“I left it to Alba. Who were you talking to earlier? It sounds like you are hearing a rather unpleasant voice.”
“What… someone who knows a little bit.”
“Couldn’t it be Theresa?”
He seemed to have heard his name called at the end.
“What do you ask while listening?”
“You didn’t ask her for help, did you?”
“···no.”
“Why are you taking the time to answer! Are you cooking? Isn’t that true?”
There was also a reason Gong Chi-young was so excited.
When they worked together at Ejisto, Teresa split an album by a foreign singer that Gong Chi-young was into, and threw it in half as a demonstration of the commendation.
And the fragment of the split CD was put right in the middle of the forehead of the singer in the poster attached to the wall.
