Villain Detective is a Chaebol - Chapter 20

Chapter 20

“I heard that the son of Bank President Han also bought it, isn’t this why everyone is going crazy to repay the favor to Congressman Cha?”

A high-class Korean restaurant located in Cheongdam-dong.

Congressman Cha Hyunchang and Commissioner Go Junhwan were sitting in the room and drinking.

“Didn’t Congressman Kim, who is quite powerful in the party, also buy the land thanks to Congressman Cha? When the development article comes out soon and land prices begin to soar…….”

Commissioner Go Junhwan held the glass and made a noise with his mouth, pretending to float the glass of alcohol as if an airplane were flying.

“Bang! If it explodes, Congressman Kim can push you as a presidential candidate! Hahahaha!”

“No, that’s too far! Hahahaha!”

Congressman Cha Hyunchang, who was quietly looking at Commissioner Go Junhwan, burst into laughter.

Soon after, the two glasses collided. And when a few more drinks were exchanged, Commissioner Go Junhwan slowly opened his mouth.

“How’s your son doing? Originally, drugs are hard to stop regardless of people’s will, so you shouldn’t start in the first place.…….”

Perhaps it was an uncomfortable story, but Congressman Cha Hyunchang cleared his throat without answering.

“Well, what should I be worried about, since he is the son of Congressman Cha! Have another drink.”

With a nice smile, Commissioner Go Junhwan poured alcohol into the empty glass.

Actually, it was a few months ago. The investigation into the drug injection and transaction involving the son of Congressman Cha Hyunchang was closed. No, the case was received, but the case itself was not received under the order of Commissioner Go Junhwan.

“But isn’t it thanks to him that our Commissioner Go is getting this rich?”

Congressman Cha Hyunchang’s low voice flowed.

Information on the land outside Seoul and political connections received in return for covering the case of Congressman Cha’s son.

“That’s right! Hahaha!”

Commissioner Go Junhwan let out a loud laugh as he drank. However, for a moment, Commissioner Go said, looking worried about what was going on.

“But again, these days, there is a lot of interest in the drug cases of celebrities and politicians’ children…… It’s not easy to keep this from coming out.”

At that, Congressman Cha Hyunchang quietly drank.

Clank. Congressman Cha put down his empty glass. His gaze slowly turned to Commissioner Go Junhwan.

Thus, tension grew between the two. Soon, however, the corners of Congressman Cha Hyunchang’s mouth rose.

“Commissioner Go, did you say your younger son is preparing to get a job? My acquaintance is from K Group, so should we make a bridge with their management team?”

“If it’s K group…… Aigoo! Congressman Cha!”

The smirk on his face a moment ago went away immediately, and Commissioner Go Junhwan, who hurriedly straightened his posture, poured Congressman Cha Hyunchang a drink again.

“Then…… I’m so thankful! Actually, I didn’t say that hoping for something like this, but I’m treating you today!”

“Let’s do it! Hahahaha!”

Once again, the two drinking glasses collided.

* * *

At that time.

Hallway of the restaurant.

There was a man dressed as an employee who was tidying up his clothes while listening to the loud laughter of the two.

“…….”

The man glanced around and headed toward the end of the deserted hallway. The man stopped walking and pressed the earphones in his ears.

“I’m ready.”

Then, Hyunsoo’s voice came through the earphones in his ears.

-You heard it from President Park, right? Put it under the water bottle so that it doesn’t show.

At the same time, the man took something flat out of the back pocket of his pants. It was a micro recorder.

“I understand.”

* * *

Knock knock-

“Excuse me.”

Drrrr- The door opened, and Commissioner Go Junhwan and Congressman Cha exchanged drinks happily were seen.

“Hahahaha! Why don’t you have a drink, Commissioner-nim!”

The waiter entered with a slight bow of his head, bent his knees, and set the water bottle and glasses on the table from the tray.

“Hiccup, it’s all gone.”

Congressman Cha, who was pouring the alcohol, turned his eyes to the waiter after confirming that the bottle was empty.

“Oi.”

“Yes, do you need anything else?”

“Bring me two more bottles of alcohol here.”

“Yes sir.”

It was when the waiter who had emptied the tray confirmed and began to leave.

Jiiing- Commissioner Go Junhwan’s phone rang.

The waiter looked behind and closed the door after leaving the room. Then Commissioner Go quietly answered the phone.

“Talk…… What?! You let him sell it?”

Tak. The door closed and the man walked down the hallway.

Placing the empty tray beside him, he pressed his earphones.

“It’s done.”

* * *

After a while, in Hyunsoo’s car.

-How’s your son doing? Originally, drugs are…….

-But isn’t it thanks to him that our Commissioner Go is getting this rich…….

-Commissioner Go, did you say your younger son is …… My acquaintance is from K Group, so should we make a bridge with their management team…….

-……Actually, I didn’t say that hoping for something like this, but I’m treating you today!

The voices of Commissioner Go Junhwan and Congressman Cha Hyunchang were heard from Hyunsoo’s cell phone.

‘In the end, Commissioner Go Junhwan was the exact opposite of the media image.’

Commissioner Go Junhwan became a corrupt police out of ambition for money. And Commissioner Kim Taek was trying to overtake him to take the position of Commissioner General.

‘I need Commissioner Kim Taek.’

He intended to use Commissioner Kim Taek. In order to do so, Go Junhwan must collapse as Commissioner Kim Taek wished.

Hyunsoo touched his phone and looked ahead.

‘First, the trust of Commissioner Kim Taek.’

Even if they did not directly commit corruption together, they had to build trust. Hyunsoo was more ambitious in his position than in money, and for that, he wanted to hold Kim Taek’s hand tightly……he had to instill trust in Commissioner Kim Taek.

When Hyunsoo kept thinking.

The car door burst open and Senior Inspector Shin Miye entered, holding two cups of coffee in one hand.

“Here, drink up.”

“Thank you.”

As Hyunsoo accepted the coffee, she said.

“How, have you thought of a way?”

“I have one, but…….”

Hyunsoo hesitated with a troubled look.

“Senior Inspector-nim needs to help me.”

* * *

After some time.

It was after the assault against the junior detective of Commissioner Go Junhwan, which Hyunsoo had seen.

“Uh ugh…….”

Commissioner Go Junhwan’s subordinate policeman got up while grabbing the place he was hit. Two bodyguards standing next to him helped him as he got up with a whimper.

“Let go of me!”

“He told us to watch you until you leave.…… If you’re angry, we don’t know what to do. We are sorry.”

But their role was to monitor the subordinate police. The policeman bit his lip and shook off the bodyguards’ hands.

“F*ck, he’s been treating me like a servant and now he’s treating me like a thief?!”

With an unjust expression, he wiped the blood from his mouth.

“Ha…….”

While under the command of Commissioner Go Junhwan, he did everything he asked without asking any questions. Even though Commissioner Go treated him as a bug, he endured, believing that the road would open if he sat in the position of the Commissioner General.

However…….

‘At this rate, I’ll be thrown away as soon as he becomes the Commissioner General.’

He was anxious.

Commissioner Go Junhwan, who hit people this far because of such a mistake, now had no guarantee that he would guide him even if he sat in the Commissioner General’s seat.

“Let’s go.”

It was when the subordinate police were caught in the hands of the bodyguards with a complicated expression and moved.

“……Who are you?”

Someone blocked their way.

It was Senior Inspector Shin Miye.

“You must not enter this land recklessly……!”

At that moment, the bodyguard who was talking stopped. It was because Senior Inspector Shin Miye, who was in front of him, disappeared and something swept past him. When the bodyguard behind them frowned at the darkened vision.

“Ugh!”

The other bodyguard collapsed with a short scream.

“What, what……!”

And at the same time, the bodyguard behind felt a fist struck in the stomach and fell forward.

“Excuse me for a second.”

Then.

“Did……you make them pass out?”

Hyunsoo trudged in front of the fallen bodyguards and the subordinate policeman who couldn’t figure out what was going on. Only then did Senior Inspector Shin Miye, who came in from behind the streetlight, nodded.

“Uh. Do you have a problem with it?”

“No…… I just asked you to suppress them for a little bit…….”

“Yah, how am I holding these two down at the same time. It’s comfortable to just knock them out.”

It was only then that Hyunsoo remembered that she was a former boxer. Hyunsoo slowly approached the man, nodding his head with an understanding face.

“Detective Kang Jiseok-nim?”

“Who, who are you!”

When his name was called, the man raised his head and looked at Hyunsoo.

A frightened expression.

After looking alternately at the fallen bodyguards on both sides, he looked at Hyunsoo with eyes that were about to cry.

“Did, did Commissioner Go send you? Is he going to bury me for this?!”

His eyes shook with anxiety. He thought that such a day would come one day, but not yet.

‘What’s the point of this! It’s the fault of the guy who sold the land. Did I sell it!’

This was where the illegal funds and ledgers were buried. Of course, it was also his fault for not tidying up the surroundings. Still, this wasn’t it.

So far, Commissioner Go Junhwan had closed his eyes tightly for only one person, covered the case, and pretended not to know the victims.

Even if he was a corrupt detective and blinded by money and promotions, he was also a human being. He abandoned his sense of duty as a police officer and devoted his whole body to Commissioner Go.…….

“I, I can’t die like this……. This isn’t it! No! How much money I have taken care of for him?!”

He screamed and slowly bent his knees, then began to weep over his injustice. Looking at him, Hyunsoo opened his mouth with a troubled face.

“Now now, Detective-nim. I’m not here to kill you.”

However, the man didn’t seem to be able to hear Hyunsoo’s words.

“No!! Please call Commissioner Go……. How, how sincere I was! You’re not killing me like this!”

The man grabbed Hyunsoo by the shoulder and talked constantly. Then Hyunsoo, who sighed lightly, snatched the man by the collar.

“Detective-nim, I’m not here to kill you.”

Only then did the man stop talking, and Hyunsoo continued.

“The one I came to kill is Commissioner Go Junhwan. Not you”

Then, as if he could finally hear Hyunsoo’s words, his pupils, which had calmed down, slowly turned toward Hyunsoo.

“……What?”

“When I see you behave like this, you know too, right? Eventually, you’ll be dumped by Commissioner Go.”

“…….”

“He can bury you quietly in a place like this, or he can lay the blame on you for everything Commissioner Go did.”

The man listening to Hyunsoo bowed his head. No matter how much he thought about it, Hyunsoo was right.

A used and abandoned hound, the least powerful among them.

It was almost certain that he would disappear as a sacrifice to cover up the wrongdoing of Commissioner Go.

“So…… what do you want? But who are you to come all the way here and do this…….”

Hyunsoo rose slowly.

“What do you want?!”

“Don’t be killed by such scum, just pay for your crimes.”

“What……?”

“That’s what I want.”
