＜ This is the Killing Department! ＞
[Wow!]
The grim reaper shouted with both hands tightly together.
[To be able to replay a soap opera that has really passed away! This is a miracle!]
The grim reaper’s eyes shone brightly.
[It’s the same as the Great King turning back time!]
The grim reaper hugged the TV while being thrilled.
Even so, the TV screen could be seen through the transparent body.
[From now on, I will order you as my treasure number 1 and you as my treasure number 2!]
The grim reaper touched the Philips VCR.
It was to wipe off without a speck of dust with a black coating sleeve.
Even so, the transparent sleeves slipped through.
‘What are all daily soap operas?’
I shook my head.
‘Is it that good?’
[Of course. So good!]
The grim reaper burst into laughter.
[Is there anything wrong with life? It is best to build small happiness.]
Is laughter contagious?
Without realizing it, I smiled.
‘It’s a small happiness.’
[For example, picking bean sprout heads while supporting your back in the corner of the room where you met your deceased parents again?]
‘·······.’
[Looking back, you have really enjoyed peaceful and luxurious days. Unlike the past.]
yes, you did a good job!
‘In the past, because of whom did I get falsely accused of being a traitor?’
[·······.]
‘I was abandoned in a back alley since I was seven years old because I had trouble with my grandparents, and I lived a filthy and hard life!’
[·······.]
‘scourge?’
The Grim Reaper, who was already on his knees, trembled and pointed to the VCR and said.
[I-I will offer this, so can you watch it?]
Are you giving up Treasure No. 2?
[If it’s not enough, I can offer this up…]
The Grim Reaper even pointed to the TV, which was said to be Treasure No. 1, with an expression about to cry.
I chuckled.
‘Looked at. Leave the treasures behind. It’s yours.’
[It’s a huge crowd!]
The grim reaper put his hands together with a thrilled expression.
[This is why the great king said that it is a soul that shines like a jewel. A person who bought a ticket to heaven with his own strength despite being punished by God. indeed······!]
The grim reaper jumped up.
[Anyway, when I went to the underworld to investigate the crime of gasoline in Bulgwang-dong, I obtained very important information! This treatment is definitely for you…!]
Ding-dong. Ding dong ding dong.
It was the sound of our doorbell.
Yoo Jong-tae, a quick-witted bodyguard who claims to be my limbs, ran as if flying and reported.
“Secretary Kim is here.”
I was still waiting
However, I was also curious about the words of the grim reaper.
[The matter of the underworld will be taken care of by this action, so don’t worry about it. Then this treatment is even a soap opera…]
Yoo Jong-tae reported.
“But something is a little strange.”
“What is strange?”
“They said they didn’t come here to pay a bribe, as usual, but to receive a gift in gratitude.”
Yoo Jong-tae came closer and whispered softly.
“Secretary Kim is not the kind of person who would come running like this with a tolerable gift. May I ask what gift it is? Of course, that Yoo Jong-tae is a guy who prioritizes trust over curiosity…”
“Is it the killing department to be sent to the Blue House?”
“Have a good time.”
Yoo Jong-tae nodded and bounced without looking back.
Also, because I’m quick-witted.
If a person like Yoo Jong-tae, who was not in the right rank, claimed to be an errand boy, he might have caught the head of the Blue House bodyguard and buried him somewhere in the hills, leaving only his neck behind.
I like a guy who takes good care of his own life!
* * *
Secretary Kim went straight to my room.
“Boss, have you seen the breaking news?”
It was breaking news that contained the presidents of Woo-gwang affiliates being taken from Chairman Woo-Kwang Kim’s mansion.
“Chairman Kim of Woogwang seems to have started a major purge at this opportunity.”
Secretary Kim’s expression was rather serious.
“It was an exquisite number. I plan to get out after diverting public attention by using the presidents of affiliates as scapegoats.”
“Are you happy with just that?”
“yes? But, young master, right now there is no other way for Woo-gwang to escape…”
“It doesn’t change the fact that Woogwang is a problem even if we turn the arrow to the presidents of Woogwang affiliates.”
“······you’re right.”
“Since he has already been stamped by the Blue House, Woo-Kwang’s Chairman Kim will want to put out a more reliable shield.”
“The only thing the Blue House fears is public sentiment. The public has turned their backs on Woo-gwang, so what is a reliable shield that Woo-gwang can put forward?”
“It’s Taeseong.”
Secretary Kim’s complexion hardened in an instant.
“Woo-gwang believes in the word immortality. Taeseong is 5th in the business world, and Woogwang is 9th.”
“Our Taesung and Woogwang even broke their engagement. Why does Tae-sung have to stand with Woo-gwang and receive glare? You don’t have to.”
“So Woo-gwang will try to bite and hang on to his death. Is there any other way to live?”
“no way······!”
After all, Secretary Kim!
He was a man who penetrated to the core with just one word.
“Are you saying you’re going to use a string called Taesung Chemical?”
“You have a contract. What if Taeseong accuses grandfather of plotting this to steal Wookwang Chemical and Wookwang Securities?”
“Are you saying you plan to drag the president into Woo-gwang’s gutter?”
“Woo-gwang alone might not know it, but if Tae-seong is tied together, one axis of the national economy will collapse. So that the Blue House has no choice but to turn a blind eye to it.”
“Taesung has nothing to do with the Woogwang fire. Not a single doubt can be tolerated. There is no reason to get out of the eyes of the Blue House without committing any crimes, and there is no reason to be beaten together with Woo-gwang!”
“When did the Blue House ask for guilt? From the moment you get suspicious, from the moment you go against your heart, you get out of sight of the Blue House.”
That is the picture Chairman Kim is aiming for.
Secretary Kim’s eyes were cold and heavy.
“Now I think I know why you decided to write the bribery ledger of Wookwang Construction.”
It should be cut from this side first to prevent Woo-gwang from biting and sagging.
Instead of taking off her coat, Secretary Kim held out a briefcase.
“It is a copy. This side is the static of the Blue House chief of staff, and the other side is the static of the Blue House security chief.”
I took out the papers from the briefcase.
It was a pile of sh*t-colored papers.
Among them, a name that stood out in particular stood out.
‘Preface Mercy!’
Seo Moon-cheol, an agent of the Central Intelligence Agency’s Inspection Bureau.
In the glimpse of the future, he was the one who dragged Mr. Cheol-gu to the water torture room at Seobing High School and tortured him.
‘Yeah, how much would you normally have to take to be so loyal to Woo-gwang? It’s even more strange that Wookwang Construction isn’t on the bribery list.’
Inje, I saw that my name was on the bribe ledger of Wookwang Construction, so I was trying to kill Mr. Cheol-gu!
Seo Mun-cheol’s superior, the director of the Central Intelligence Agency’s Inspection Bureau, was also there.
this is really good
“Secretary Kim, these guys put both sides in.”
“yes. These are the guys who put it on both sides. I’m going to take this opportunity to blow away Woo-gwang’s pawn with the sword of the Blue House.”
“Very good.”
Chado Murder
Because this is my favorite word.
I passed on to the next list without hiding a hearty smile.
‘uh?’
I was surprised.
Among the dark sh*t-colored documents, I found something with a golden tint.
‘It’s not just golden… It’s the first time I’ve ever seen red shimmering so ominously.’
colors were mixed.
‘Whose papers are these? ······this.’
I never thought that interest would have been included among the people Wookwang Construction bribed.
‘Army Security Commander.’
He is the closest aide planted by the current president, who took power through a military coup, to keep the army in check, and a man who holds information on the military side in one hand.
An ambitious man who succeeded in another military coup by seizing all information at home and abroad while the court was paralyzed because the head of the Central Intelligence Agency was designated as the assassin of the president.
“He is the most influential person among the powerful, reaching the fourth rank in the current administration. It is one of the four pillars that support the owner of the Blue House, and not only his power, but also his Excellency’s trust is great.”
I didn’t expect this name to pop up on the static list of chief security officers at the Blue House.
‘hahahaha, I must have needed a lot of back money to take care of the pockets of the subordinates belonging to the Army Ilsimhoe. You won’t have to refuse Woo-gwang’s support.’
It’s a golden paper.
I only took out the documents of the Army Security Commander.
‘This is put on hold for now.’
I checked the following documents.
‘her······!’
This time, too, in the middle of a golden light, a black light that was unparalleled was mixed and overflowed.
‘Isn’t this one also mixed in color? Who else is this?’
I took out the papers and checked his name.
This time, the head of the Central Intelligence Agency jumped out of the blue.
“He is also one of the most influential people. The current rank of the chief of the central government is 3rd. One level higher than Army Security Commander.”
I also took out the documents of the Central Directorate and looked at them.
“Hmm.”
I placed the two documents side by side on the floor.
One side is golden and reddish, the other golden and black.
‘Considering his power and influence, he’s one of the giants that should never be touched.’
If they are the political enemies of the Blue House Chief of Security, who is said to be the second-in-command, they cannot be trivial.
The Army Security Commander, who is ranked 4th in the hierarchy, and the Chief of the Central Department, who is ranked 3rd in the hierarchy.
It was the reason I kept struggling with arms crossed.
“When all of these fall out, only the small rods remain. The Chief of Security at the Blue House cannot be interested in a bribe ledger that can only catch a few small fish.”
“you’re right.”
I had to decide.
Who to put under the blade of the purge.
“Secretary Kim, assuming that this bribe ledger enters the Blue House, would the aide carry out a purge with a few pennies?”
The owner of the Blue House this time has no contact with me in the past, so I don’t know.
I died when I was young, so how could I get entangled?
What you read about him was just a story passed down in history, and even that would have been an anecdote or achievement that was chosen according to the regime’s taste.
Rather, I wanted to hear the opinions of Secretary Kim, who actually saw and experienced him.
“Are you a great man capable of making the bold decision to cut off your limbs without any sign of betrayal or conspiracy to commit treason?”
“well. How can I dare to guess what the owner of the Blue House is thinking?”
Because only I can’t guess how deep the emotional rift will be between them and how entangled Eun-won will be.
“He’s the kind of person you’d best not touch. Because his obsession with ranking and power is terrifying.”
He was the one who asked ministers to stand up against the wall and prove their qualifications even when they were having a drink in private.
“For that reason, the list was selected by paying attention to the interests of the Chief of Security and Chief of Staff of the Blue House.”
Secretary Kim’s words became more subdued.
“No matter how great a person is, not all ears are open.”
It made sense.
The arms are bent inward, and the eyes and ears are covered by the entourage. for my self-interest.
So the trouble got deeper.
Tick tock, the time went by.
“When you look good to the powerful, you will benefit greatly, but when you look bad, you can fall into abyss in an instant.”
like Woo-gwang.
“The Wookwang construction bribery list will be transformed into a political purge list.”
Because it’s a gift to send.
“If the Chief of Security at the Blue House doesn’t move to the owner of the Blue House and knock them out at once, Tae-seong might have to deal with the aftermath.”
Secretary Kim opened her mouth to ease my worries.
“Boss, at the Blue House, every New Year, we invite key figures from all walks of life to see them or discuss them.”
“Are you talking about the New Year’s luncheon?”
“If it is a New Year’s luncheon meeting for political figures, there is a New Year’s report meeting for key figures in the military and courtrooms.”
oh!
“The Army Security Commander will also head to the Blue House soon to report Army information. Maybe tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.”
Secretary Kim added.
“The director of the Central Intelligence Agency, which controls domestic and international information, is also scheduled to attend the same event.”
After all, Secretary Kim!
At Secretary Kim’s words, my long and heavy worries came to an end.
Secretary Kim quietly exclaimed.
“also. You came to the same conclusion as the President.”
Grandpa too?
* * *
Thanks to Secretary Kim, finding out the place and time of the appointment was a piece of cake.
The grim reaper looked around the Japanese restaurant at Taesung Hotel.
“It is an honor to serve you, Chief Security Officer.”
In the room used by the VIPs, the grandfather tilted a pottery kettle filled with heated rice wine.
cut off.
Heated rice wine was poured into a white porcelain cup decorated with orchids.
The head of the Blue House bodyguard drank the wine at once.
“Did you prepare a thick robe?”
