236: One push and see (3)
“Are you going with us when we go back to Seoul?”
“Then! I’ll come on time, so you just wait.”
Da-in got out of the car and looked at Cheol-woo and asked. A van that had just passed the toll gate found a sports car and was approaching the shoulder.
As if she liked his answer, she smiled broadly. She was on a diet, and she had a completely different face from the woman who was harassed about stopping by at rest stops and buying specialties.
The sports car quickly moved away, leaving her waving as if her arms were falling off. She had to be very hasty to return before she finished her broadcast.
He arrived at a large hospital in Busan. It was here that Park was barely keeping his life alive.
He parked his car in the underground parking lot and without hesitation went up to Park’s room. His location was known through Team Leader Huh, and the intelligence team carrying Park’s grandson was reporting the situation in real time around him.
The elevator door opened and a narrow hallway appeared. This was a special room ward where VIPs were hospitalized.
The police, who sensed the seriousness of the incident, secretly moved Park to this place. Because of that, reporters couldn’t keep up, and only ugly rumors were coming out.
“Chief, I think!”
A team member who was sitting on a chair in the hallway of the hospital recognized him and jumped to his feet. The familiar face I saw at the last drinking party was standing with a tired face and holding a can of coffee.
“Where is the inspiration for Park?”
“It’s the hospital room on the left at the end of the hallway. It’s a single room, but it’s like an intensive care unit.”
“You are the nurse here. I succumbed to this.”
The team members made the beak shape by hand. Then he raised his thumb and said proudly.
Then another team member came out of the hallway bathroom. Recognizing Cheol-woo, he bowed his head slightly and looked around.
“Everyone has suffered. When I enter the room, one of you from the lobby, watch out for anyone trying to approach this way. And everyone is ready to come back.”
There was no sign of nervousness on the faces of the team members. Everyone was familiar with this kind of thing.
There was no strength in his body, and his actions were skillful and quick. It was proof that Team Leader Huh had properly trained his subordinates.
“It is forbidden to have outsiders here.”
“It’s a relationship.”
I showed my ID to the police guarding the front of the hospital room. The ID that Team Leader Huh made was real.
The people who still remain in the intelligence department and the traitor of the intelligence judgment room, Noh Gi-bong, made up his ID card. No Gi-bong and Gwi-diggi were playing the role of double spies after being washed.
It was their own way of surviving with only one eye out. This allowed the entire intelligence team to get to and from various places without noise.
The police checked the ID and opened the door. The smell of disinfectant wafted through the silent room.
Beep-, beep-, …!
The vital signs checking machine rang at a constant rate. And on the bed lined with various tubes, Park was lying dead.
Cheol-woo approached quietly and placed his hand on Park’s forehead. And as a tiny electric current spewed from his fingertips, Park’s closed eyes flashed open.
Whoops! Whoops!
He breathed heavily, as if he still remembered being surprised. Still, he quickly rolled his eyes and looked around.
“Woah… is this place…?”
“It’s a hospital. They said they were brought here straight from the port.”
It was only after hearing the explanation that I seemed to be able to remember. She then wriggled her body as she cramped up to get the oxygen tube out of her nose.
“I will help you.”
“Thank you, thank you!”
When Cheol-woo pulled out the nose line, he made an expression that he barely lived. Then he asked, licking his dry lips.
“Who is my grandchild…?”
“They said it was excessive bleeding. I haven’t seen it in person.”
Whoa!
Park clenched his fists with trembling hands. A single tear streamed down between her tightly closed, wrinkled eyelids.
“Are they…?”
“They were all killed. The police are turning them into Yakuza.”
“huh! Only yakuza bastards dared to do this to me…? Two days!”
He let out a dry cough as his throat was clinging to the phlegm. Cheol-woo got up from his seat and wet a piece of gauze with water and poured it over his lips.
A person who has been unconscious for a long time should never be allowed to drink large amounts of water. This is because if you get sick while drinking water, your lungs and airways may be damaged.
Among the countless deaths seen on the battlefield, there were many futile deaths. At least before dying, the mercenaries had to learn various first aid measures in order to make room for a sip of cigarettes or a drink of alcohol.
“I thought I’d never see you again… did you want to see the shabby figure of an old man?”
“no way? I looked through the ledger and there were empty places.”
“Hill! I’ve already found it there. Does that happen automatically these days?”
“Well, some….”
Park asked with an expression that he found out the part that Yongke also hid. Of course, this was something the Warrior found out while researching.
“My hometown is North Korea! My family passed away because of hunger, but South Korea is not my hometown.”
“I don’t have the heart to listen to the inspirational life story…”
“If you listen quietly, I will hand over the information you want. So please be patient…”
Cheol-woo answered silently. And then, he turned off the loudspeaker of the vital machine. Then, Park closed his eyes and remembered the past.
“So I trusted no one. And to this day, I firmly believe that it is the secret to my success. But when I turned around, there was no one around me. If I don’t believe it, who will believe me? Two days!”
“So I regret it, what is it?”
“no way? It was the best back then. So I was able to succeed. But I just didn’t notice that the years passed and the world was changing. He couldn’t adapt to the change.”
Park’s closed eyes slowly opened. He even looked at Cheol-woo’s face.
“Would you mind burying my bone powder near the 3.8 line?”
“If you promise to do that, I’ll give you a fortune I haven’t found and a bribe ledger fed to real high-ranking bastards.”
“like! Did you still have more wobbly possessions besides the ones I was looking for?”
“Actually, it’s not mine. Why did the real high-ranking people leave it to them? Even if Japan goes bankrupt later, I think it’s like a slush fund for my people. Two days!”
“Okay, Cole! I’ll bury you near the Civilian Control Line.”
“I was going to ask my grandchildren or great-grandchildren to move my grave to my homeland when there is reunification later. Now I have to put an end to that dream.”
“That’s why you loved your grandchild so much?”
“okay! My habit of not trusting others eventually killed even my child. So, shouldn’t even the one remaining grandchild be dry? Even if I can’t go, it’s my bloodline… But in the end, those fucking bastards…”
Blood stood around his eyes as he thought of his grandson’s corpse. The tears flowing from his red eyes looked like tears of blood.
I remembered the figures of the people laughing as they cut off their grandchildren’s limbs little by little. Even in death, he wanted to get his revenge.
“When they find out I’m dead, the high-ranking bastards will come to get the money. Then, in the end, I’ll come face to face with you. Two days!”
“It sounds like you want me to die.”
“It’s not a bad ending either. It’s because of you, after all, that it’s become like this. Well, it would be the best result if the two of you came up with a plan. Two days!”
“It won’t happen, so put aside your delusions and tell the truth! It seems that your life is short-lived…”
The Warrior informed him of his biological reaction. He was now burning the last spark of life.
And the flames didn’t last long. If you fall asleep this time, you probably won’t be able to open your eyes again.
“I know. That’s why I’m pouring out complaints that don’t even work like this. At a very high price. Whoa!”
“Then tell me how expensive it is.”
“It’s not like opening a gift in advance. Anyway, I leave them to you. And make sure you bury me near the truce line. Maybe it’s the first time in my life that I’m earnestly trusting someone.”
“I can break that belief mercilessly!”
“Hill! that would be bad luck The key necklace I stole from you. That…that’s a hidden password. Whoops!”
His breathing, which had been quiet, suddenly became rough. The heart that had supported him until now was slowly fading away.
“That was the key to unlocking the iron bag containing the Japanese children’s accounts. I never dreamed that I was still using such antiques.”
“He… with the new number engraved on the key, to the ○○ bank secret…”
As soon as Inspired Park spoke hard, the Warrior scanned the scene stored in his memory and enlarged the number engraved on the key. And clearly visible numbers flowed out through Cheol-woo’s mouth.
“304A 68 FG…82!”
“How the hell do you remember that…?”
“I don’t need to know about that, is this a unit price?”
Difficult to speak, he nodded weakly. Seeing him struggling, he tried to put the oxygen cord back on, but Park shook his head and refused.
“What’s the use of living a few more minutes…”
“When a human who struggled to live like a scoundrel said something like that, this is true! I can’t get used to it. Huh!”
“At that time… I had money…”
His neck turned to the side, leaving a sincere truth like a joke. The waveform of the machine, which was noisy and turned off, also drew a flat straight line.
Cheol-woo stood up from his seat, closing the eyes of Park’s raised eyes. Even when he died, he had no intention of wishing for his well-being, for which he was sure to roll in hell.
[The detectives took the elevator downstairs. The intelligence team has sent you a message telling you to hurry up.]
At that moment, a message from the information team who was watching the net flew in. When he came out, he informed the police who was guarding the door of the emergency and hurried to the emergency stairs.
“I think you guys should stay and collect the body.”
“Don’t worry. We will handle it neatly without exposing our side.”
The information team members answered with confidence. The bodies of Park and his grandson were to be brought to Seoul after cremation.
They were well aware of the physiology of the intelligence service and the police, so I could trust them. I wanted to keep my promise to the dead as much as possible.
“You can take your work slowly, so take a good rest while you’re here! I will keep it a secret from Team Leader Huh.”
Cheol-woo took out a thick bundle of cash from his wallet. Even if you have a business card, you won’t be able to use it comfortably because of the strict team leader Huh.
“You don’t have to do any specifications, right? Then I will be grateful.”
One member of the team bent down to the waist and received it politely with both hands. However, there was a lot of playfulness in his tone and expression.
“Then do your best.”
“Look!”
He patted his teammates on the shoulders and moved away from them. He had a lot of subordinates with his hands and feet, so he was very comfortable working.
The sports car exited the underground parking lot and ran along the Dalmaji Pass in Busan. The scenery running along the sea was just as beautiful as I had heard.
“It’s all here. Wait a minute!”
Until Da-in finished his job, Cheol-woo wandered around the beaches of Busan. He asked on the way down and he said that even after he returned to Seoul, he couldn’t rest for a few hours and that he had to go ahead with the schedule right away.
At the most, she felt very sorry that she had come down to Busan and went up without getting any sea breeze. So in her brief time she promised to show her her seascape.
Recognizing Cheol-woo’s sports car, she again waved her arm to come out. She looked very cute as she fluttered her sleeves long and fluttered in long padding over her stage outfit.
“Ugh! Be cold!”
As soon as she got into the car, she dug into his arms. The tip of the wind entering the beginning of winter was quite bitter even during the day.
“Hey, are you waiting in the van?”
“The members are so well-fed…. Someone told me to sell kimbap to eat in the car… Ho Ho!”
“Then shall we go to a restaurant?”
“I can’t go anywhere in this colonnade. It’s hard to take a picture for nothing. Let’s go see the sea sooner than that! I was really looking forward to it. Ho Ho!”
She urged her with an excited expression on her face. It was just the two of us while we went around the beach in Busan and went to Seoul.
