Episode 91. MineBook (3)
[Lee ○○, one of the developers and operators of ‘Minebook’ operated on the dark web, was arrested in Hong Kong.]
[Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency, securing Minebook server data. Proceed with large-scale arrest of suspects by checking even deleted data!]
Korea, which was noisy with JG Capital, turned upside down again.
Because of that, the police, prosecutors, and courts did not pass quietly.
Seo Myung-won’s atmosphere became chilly at the article that emerged as a chaotic bustle from the morning.
“…”
I wanted to curse, but I just arrived at the company.
It was difficult to even frown.
After getting out of the car, Seo Myung-won headed for the elevator with his secretary.
Everyone greeted Seo Myung-won and greeted them.
“hello. Director.”
“is it so. Let’s fight for today as well.”
Employees treated Seo Myung-won comfortably, even though they knew that he was a director and second-generation conglomerate.
That was the image of the signature circle created by the company.
Seo Myung-won was delighted with his perfect acting.
But today, it was rather poisonous.
ding—
The elevator has arrived.
However, a large woman was squatting down and meticulously cleaning the elevator handle.
“Oops… I’ll clean it right away.”
“···no. madam. I’m fine, so go ahead.”
Seo Myeong-won got on the elevator with his secretary.
Meanwhile, the big lady (?) continued to wipe around the knobs and floor buttons.
ding—
When the elevator finally reached the floor where the executive offices were, the two were able to get out.
“take care. madam.”
“Oh, thank you—”
The elevator door closed.
In the meantime, Seo Myung-won said while walking with his secretary.
“I go into the office by myself. Didn’t Secretary Kim say he was busy too?”
“Thank you for your understanding. I will prepare a report related to work in the morning and tell you within 30 minutes.”
“Please.”
Seo Myeong-won, who entered his office, felt that the anger he had been holding back would explode.
I tried to knock the desk down, but I held back. I didn’t make a lot of noise for fear of being heard outside.
Then, I went to the corner of the office and pressed the call button on my cell phone to connect to Oh Won-hoe and Jin Shi-jong.
[I thought you would call me.]
Jin Shi-jong was also watching articles that had just exploded in Korea.
“What happened? Didn’t the Hong Kong police secure the server data and decide not to send it to Korea?”
It was thanks to the Hong Kong police officers who were recruited for a large sum in the Five Yuanhoe.
Of course, part of the money was paid by Seo Seon-won.
However, the Minebook’s server data was handed over to the National Police Agency.
[I think it’s the hacker that Director Seo said. According to Lee Jin-pyeong, the possibility is the highest.]
There was no way Oh Won-hoe would have left Lee Jin-pyeong, who had been taken to the hospital.
While enlisting the police, he even brought Lee Jin-pyeong back. And at that time, I could hear the situation before passing out.
“What about hackers?”
[It’s called Sunfish… I found out that he’s a legend in the hacker world. It is judged that the opponent is not formidable.]
“…So you’re saying you’re going to leave?”
Shi-Jong Jin paused for a while at Seo Myeong-Won’s earnest tone before speaking.
[Could that be?]
“Find out who he is and deal with him. The Korean side… I will move.”
[Is it possible?]
“If you can’t stop it, you have no choice but to push it away and make it pass quickly.”
Seo Seo-won said that and ended the call.
.
.
.
A van was parked in a public parking lot near the Seohwa Distribution headquarters building.
Kangsu was wearing headphones in the van. I heard the voice of the signature in my ear.
[If you can’t block it, you have no choice but to push it away to make it pass quickly.]
The sound of the call ending continued.
Then the door of the van opened.
Clap, Clap—
“Have you been?”
“Whoa— I thought I was going to die from the heat.”
It was Gong Chi-young.
Having said that, Gong Chi-yeong got into the car and listened to the wiretapping recorded in front of him.
“Wow… is this upgraded garbage again? A bastard who is older than Woo Joon-jun—”
For a moment, Gong Chi-yeong couldn’t finish her words and looked at Kang-soo.
They say he’s a bad guy, but it was because Kang-su and Woo Joon-jun were cousins.
“That’s right, that’s all right. He really is worse than that.”
Every day was a lie.
Even so, he was so thorough that even his surroundings and his family did not know.
Of course, it was the same for Woo Joon-jun.
However, Seo Myeong-won did not reveal even a small mistake to the people around him in any way.
“Shouldn’t I take a video of this and spread it?”
“What video? The video of the call you just made?”
“ah······.”
There was a record of Seo Myeong-won’s use on the Mine Book server.
But it was just a record. There was no photo or video evidence that Seo Myung-won used.
Even if the evidence is handed over to the police now, it has been passed on to identity theft.
Gong Chi-young also noticed that.
“It really won’t be easy. What are you going to do?”
“…Could you intentionally make the wiretapping device you attached be caught?”
“Why?”
The wiretap was a device that had to be stealthy.
If it was revealed, it would only raise the enemy’s awareness.
“Because I have an idea. do it.”
At Kang-soo’s request, Gong Chi-yeong thought for a moment and said.
“But aren’t you digging too deep? This time, it started when Jang Eun-seok and you connected. Couldn’t you be caught?”
If Jang Eun-seok brought out the work at the abandoned factory in detail, Kang-soo could be revealed.
“Don’t worry about that. Just do what I said.”
“okay.”
.
.
.
The day was over.
Seo Myung-won arrived at a high-end Korean restaurant on the outskirts of Seoul without going home to do business.
There was a police officer from Gyeongpilseon, the second-ranked officer in the National Police Agency.
“Oops, it’s such an honor that Director Seo of Seohwa asked to see you like this.”
“Why are you like that? I’m just meeting for a meal.”
Seo Seo-won shook hands with Kyung Pil-seon and sat across from him.
“Aren’t you paying attention every quarter for our police? Thanks to that, front-line police are investigating with a little help. So I really wanted to meet you, and this is the opportunity.”
“Honestly, don’t you have eyes for others? I just wanted to quietly help. Oh, let’s start with dinner.”
After a while, the food we ordered was placed on the table.
Shortly after the meal began, Gyeong Pil-seon let go of the rhyme first, as if trying to dissolve the subtle awkwardness.
“The world is ugly these days. Director Seo is also careful— Ah, Director Seo doesn’t need to be so. Aren’t you the one who lives without the law?”
“I too worry a lot whenever I watch the news. What the hell is going on…”
“.
Kyung Pil-seon’s face was worried.
At this, Seo Myung-won smiled with a feeling of regret.
“Could that be? But… the Mine Book case seems to be a serious problem, but will it take a long time?”
As the location is a sense of security, there were a lot of reports about this incident.
However, he was not allowed to tell the public about the incident.
Gyung Pil-seon knew this well, but he trusted Seo Seo-won, who was more favorable to the police than anyone else.
“Hmm… it seems that it will take quite a while because it keeps coming out wave after wave.”
“You must be very careful.”
“Hey, isn’t this a position where you only stamp and take responsibility? Suffering is what front-line police do.”
“It is a sad word. Since there is someone like Deputy Chief Gyeong, the police on the front line work with peace of mind.”
“Ha ha ha, Director Seo knows how to say that.”
The two had a good time talking and drinking.
Then Seo Seo-won’s cell phone rang.
Woo-woo-woo-woo-
A sound coming from inside the bag. It was a Daepo phone connected to the Jinshijong of Oh Won-hoe.
The situation was urgent, so I changed the vibration from silence.
“Looks like you got a call.”
Seo Myung-won, whose expression almost hardened for a moment, smiled.
“Excuse me for a moment.”
“As much as you like.”
Seo Myung-won took out his cell phone out of sight from his bag and went outside to receive it.
Weiying—
As I brought the receiver to my ear, a loud noise suddenly rang out.
“Aw—”
Seo Seo-won, startled, raised his voice without realizing it.
At the same time, Kyung Pil-seon, who was alone in the room, opened the door.
“What are you doing?”
“Oh, no.”
Seo Seong-won quickly picked up the phone and put it in his arms.
It shouldn’t have been shown to whom the cell phone was connected.
“Are you all right?”
“My head hurts a little bit.”
“Aren’t you overdoing yourself these days?”
“I did have a lot of work. I’m sorry, but I need to excuse myself for today.”
“I am okay.”
After saying that, I brought a jacket and bag.
In the meantime, Seo Myung-won’s driver, Kang Jin-hoo, came in and helped him out.
“Please enter carefully.”
“Chief, please be careful. See you again next time.”
“All right.”
The car Seo Seo-won got on started.
As the surroundings became quiet, Seo Seo-won let out a sigh.
“…what was it?”
I took out my cell phone from my pocket.
On the surface, there seemed to be no problem.
“Why is that?”
“I was answering my cell phone when there was a sudden loud noise.”
“…sound?”
Kiyi profit—
Kang Jin-hoo hurriedly stopped the car on the side of the road, got out of the driver’s seat, and opened the back seat door.
Then, with his right index finger raised in front of his mouth, he checked Seo Myeong-won’s jacket and bag.
“…”
After checking for a while, I found something on the bottom of the bag.
It was a button-sized device.
dismissal—
“It’s a bugger.”
“···what?”
“Looking at the appearance, it seems to be a privately owned product, but sometimes, when overflow due to signal amplification, severe noise is generated due to interference with the cell phone signal.”
At the same time, Seo Myeong-won’s expression became serious.
“Who was eavesdropping on me…?”
“Can you guess when it was installed?”
Seongwon was deep in thought.
Since I often bumped into other people, there was no situation where I was caught.
“Once there is a situation that was recently caught on CCTV, we have no choice but to search through it all…”
“I’ll check. More than that, the device is pretty sophisticated. This is considered an expert.”
“Is that enough…?”
“I think you should be careful.”
At Kang Ji-hoo’s advice, Seo Myung-won was displeased and his throat seemed to be drying up.
It has been hiding itself for decades. No one has ever found out who they really are.
It was something I didn’t know if I would find out.
In response, Seo Myung-won pressed his temple with his right thumb and ring finger as if rubbing it. My back hurt more and more.
“Can’t you figure out who it is? Like backtracking bugging devices. We have to find it and deal with it somehow.”
“…if the signal was amplified for long-distance reception, the wiretap would have already disappeared as soon as it was discovered.”
“So you can’t figure it out?”
“I don’t know if there are traces left, so I’ll look for them with CCTV.”
“Please.”
Kang Ji-hoo got into the driver’s seat again.
After the car started again, Kang Ji-hoo looked around as much as possible.
“I will move separately for a while and investigate. In the meantime, I will contact the management office for driving.”
“…that will make you a little uncomfortable.”
