Episode 95. close (1)
It was the detention center of the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency.
Seo Myung-won and Kang Jin-hoo were about to come down after being investigated again by the Gwangsu University special team.
There, the two talked in a quiet voice.
“Anyway, the police won’t be able to hold the director any longer because there is no proper evidence.”
Soon it would be 48 hours.
Until then, it was determined that there could be no arrest warrant issued.
“Looks like we’ve been caught by some terrible thing.”
“… I have no face.”
Kang Jin-hoo still felt a tingling sensation in the back of his head.
It meant that every action was marked from start to finish for the current situation to be created.
Of course, cameras and wiretaps were found and dealt with every time, but to no avail.
“Are we… okay?”
“What do you mean—”
“I don’t know who they are or who they are. Seeing what I’ve done, I don’t know when I’ll be like that.”
That was something that Kang Jin-hoo also thought about.
Chris Ryan and Shin Choa don’t know much about it, but Atsukawa Kyoichiro’s skills were famous for being experienced and capable even within the Scarlet Knights.
Atsukawa, who did that, was killed along with his subordinates.
After checking the circumstances separately, it was said that it was not an enemy gun, but a gun with Shin Cho-ah’s fingerprints on it.
“It would be good to suspend all risky movements.”
“You don’t already have other evidence against us…?”
“If there was such a thing, wouldn’t it have been sprayed earlier?”
Of course, I was pretty sure there was no such evidence.
So far, Seo Myeong-won has moved thoroughly enough to be confident…
But now that belief has been shaken a little.
“I don’t know… Maybe it’s timing something. But is it true that the message you received was actually sent before you died? Is there any possibility that he sent it using a code?”
“…that will never be the case.”
Codes used in messages were an important communication tool for organizations.
It was because it could not be solved in a general way, and if it was pierced, the organization could not be aware of it.
If that were really the case, the organization itself would have to be turned upside down a hundred times.
The buck— the buck—
Hearing footsteps outside, Seo Myung-Won and Kang Jin-Hoo fell silent for a moment.
The person who approached the detention center was Inspector Seong Dae-woon.
“Two minutes, come out. I have something to check.”
Seo Myeong-won and Kang Jin-hoo crossed the barracks opened by the policeman and followed Seong Dae-woon.
I went into the interrogation room and sat down.
Seong Dae-woon, who was seated across from him, opened the laptop he was holding and showed the two a video.
“Please explain this.”
The video was the entrance to a warehouse-like place.
The car pulled up there and three familiar people got out and entered.
They were Kyoichiro Atsukawa, Chris Ryan, and Shin Choa. However, the police were unable to determine the exact identities of the three because of several forged passports.
After a while, the video shows time passing and another vehicle came in and a man got out.
He was Kang Jin-hoo.
At the same time, while watching the video, the expressions of Seo Myung-won and Kang Jin-hoo could not help but harden.
“You said it was your first visit, right? Ah, Seo Myeong-won could do that… I don’t think you are Mr. Kang Jin-hoo. Can you explain this?”
It was a lie.
Kang Jin-hoo was confused by this. Apparently, the warehouse was rented in the name of an unknown ghost company, and all the CCTVs around it had been disposed of.
However, the video was recorded. I didn’t know how it was in English.
“…Come to think of it, I visited alone a few days ago. However, I didn’t see anyone inside at the time.”
“Are you saying that there are people who went inside, but I didn’t see them?”
“There is another door.”
I was talking about the back door.
When I raised another possibility, Seong Dae-woon nodded. And I changed the video and showed it.
“I’m sorry, but there is no trace of the victims leaving through the back door.”
“…”
The video was not one.
Seong Dae-woon said as if shouting ‘General’.
“Unfortunately, there are also videos of the entire warehouse being filmed.”
All of them were CCTVs that Kang Jin-hoo had paralyzed. Due to the nature of the Incheon Port warehouse site, it was impossible to completely get rid of it, so I left it, but someone saved it.
However, if there was such evidence, the police should have pushed right after the initial investigation.
“I don’t know. I went into the warehouse, but I didn’t see anyone.”
It was just an unconditional catch.
“Uhm… If you keep lying, you’ll only be at a disadvantage. And now that it’s not too late, why don’t you call a lawyer?”
The two decided that they would be able to get out after the investigation.
Then, after calling Seohwa Group’s lawyer, a strange story could flow within the group.
It was to make sure that the incident did not flow in a strange direction as much as possible.
“Nothing was lied to.”
“Is that true?”
“…Really.”
“I can’t help it.”
Another video went wrong.
This time, it was a screen shot inside the warehouse, not outside.
Seeing this, Kang Jin-hoo’s face began to turn white.
The problem did not end there.
[Long time no see. After Jin.]
[That’s right—it is. Captain Atsukawa Kyoichiro.]
.
.
[— The branch manager made a big mistake. The loss to that — is too great.]
[ah···. — It seems that it went to the side. That thing — I heard.]
[so···. What did you ask me to do?]
.
.
[I heard that it was a minebook… it was a profitable business, but the actual operator was here. Was the person you were bringing with you in the Five Circles a scarecrow?]
[you’re right. Things happened that way too. Our target is the guy who made the situation the way it is now. However, since he does not leave traces, it will be difficult to track.]
.
.
All the conversations we had in the warehouse were included.
It had even been bugged. However, in the middle, there was a problem with wiretapping, and there was noise.
Still, it wasn’t hard to see what kind of conversation was going on.
“From what I’ve heard in conversations here, I think we were close enough. First of all, this person is Kyoichiro Atsukawa. Besides, you must have heard about minebooks, which are a social uproar these days, right?”
Seong Dae-woon showed a picture of Kyoichiro Atsukawa’s body in the case file.
Sung Dae-woon’s fingers tapped on top of it, and the atmosphere became heavy.
At this, Seo Myeong-won opened his mouth.
“Knight Knight, don’t say anything from now on. I will call a lawyer now.”
In the video, along with the Mine Book, the name of the Ohwonhoe came out.
Seo Myeong-won thought that he had been caught in an unexpected situation.
Of course, the name didn’t come out of the video right away, but if the police and prosecutors started to dig in like this, even if the relationship wasn’t proven, I didn’t know that speculative articles would come out.
On the surface, Kang Jin-hoo is Seo Myung-won’s person.
* * *
After finishing Athena’s schedule, Kang-soo arrived at the World Cup PC room after work.
The PC room was going back to the self-payment system because Gong Chi-yeong was too busy recently.
When I went inside, Gong Chi-young was sleeping on a cot with an eyepatch on. He even wore large headphones over his ears.
When I listened closely, I heard Yoo So-hyun’s voice.
Then Teresa came in after her and saw Gong Chi-young like that.
“Soo. What are you doing without waking up?”
“Leave it for a while. You must have been tired of sorting out the materials you handed over to the police.”
“Eight—who isn’t tired?”
Kangsu and Teresa even risked their lives fighting the Scarlet Knights.
Teresa approached the cell phone next to Gong Chi-yeong and turned up the volume.
“Aagh—! what! Woo-!”
Gong Chi-yeong jumped up and took off her headphones and eye patch.
Then I saw two people standing in front of me.
“What are we going to do?”
Kang-soo slightly raised his finger and pointed at Teresa.
“I thought you were deafening!”
“We came back after running around on all fours until yesterday, but is Kong sleeping?”
“What time is it… 10:00 at night? I barely fell asleep two hours ago Oh, I’m going to die.”
After saying that, Gong Chi-young twisted his neck and tidied up the sleeping bag he was sleeping on.
“Struggling. Do you have any more information from the police investigation?”
“As you expected, the game turned over. The Seohwa Group called a lawyer, and first of all, only Kang Jin-hoo was issued an arrest warrant from the Prosecutor’s Office and was sent to the Central District Prosecutor’s Office. It seems that Seo Myeong-won will proceed without detention.”
It was because the evidence related to the warehouse pointed only to Kang Jin-hu at the moment.
“Then Seo Myeong-won must have lost a limb.”
“Soo. Wouldn’t it just be easier to kill him? It was a situation where Kang Jin-hoo destroyed the CCTV anyway.”
Teresa wasn’t wrong. I didn’t know if there would be an easier way.
Of course, Kang Soo had a reason for doing what he is doing now.
“It’s too easy to end with killing. How many victims…”
“Well… even now, suspects and victims are still coming out.”
“If you’re like me, it’s clear from there—”
Teresa seemed to miss it the most.
At this, Kangsu shook his head and continued talking.
“For now, it’s certain that they have a relationship with Infectus and Savnak.”
The conversation between Kang Jin-hoo and Atsukawa Kyoichiro in the warehouse.
[Chief Jennifer Han made a big mistake. Because of that, the loss is too great.]
[ah···. Looks like you went to Infectus. I heard a little about that.]
In the conversation, a story about Jennifer Han and Han Jin-hee came up.
It was an unexpected harvest.
Of course, there was no talk about the location or recent situation, so I couldn’t track it down, but I got to know organizations other than Infectus and Savnak.
“I asked Harold to find out about the Scarlet Knights.”
“Leave Kang Jin-hoo to the prosecution to take care of it?”
“Can it be? If there’s a deal between the two, I’ll do something. Or someone might come.”
It was because he did not move with Seo Seon-won for a purpose alone.
Like Min Hwan-sik, Kang-soo decided to set a trap.
At that time, Kim Chang-soo and Jennifer Han were caught in a row, but there was no guarantee that this time too.
But that was the only thing worth doing right away.
“Ah—! Then it’s just a matter of waiting. Could there be someone hiding from the police like last time?’
It was one of the things I was most concerned about.
At that time, I would not have known anything about Kim Chang-soo had he not revealed himself to deal with Min Hwan-sik.
“I hope not, but… I don’t know. Also, did you confirm the information about the broadcasting station from the Minebook?”
“that? wait.”
Gong Chi-yeong handed over the stack of papers printed earlier from the printer next to the computer.
“As you can see, it’s not easy either. If it breaks out, the organization chart will be reorganized rather than quarterly broadcasting.”
There were also celebrity victims in Minebook.
There, in the entertainment industry, there were people who were victimized by the ‘debut gate’, which was circulated only as rumors.
“Whew—there really isn’t a perfect corner.”
Kang-soo went through the information of the guys who worked with minebooks with documents.
In the meantime, one name stood out.
[Ha Seung-jo]
“Could this be Ha Seung-jo from the MBS entertainment department?”
“Let’s see… that’s right. Anyone know?”
“I’ve seen it once. It was an unusual bastard.”
Originally, he was the person who stole ‘Take My Camera’ from producer Yoonho Choi in the future.

Now, with the help of Kang-su, I am not taken away, and I found it to be quiet after drinking water with Kim Hwang-joo, the director of entertainment.
After being quiet for a while, I saw the name in an absurd place.
“I will take care of this.”
“Do whatever you feel like.”
Kang-soo looked at Gong Chi-yeong, who was exhausted as he packed the papers into an envelope. Then, he took out a USB from his pocket and fiddled with it.
At the same time, he threw the USB to Gong Chi-young.
“Good job. I wish you well in the future.”
“What is this?”
“’Take My Camera’ Yoo So-hyun’s original digital version. I specially told PD Choi Yun-ho and got it.”
“…!”
Gong Chi-young’s hand holding the USB trembled.
