The Reincarnated Cop Who Strikes With Wealth

Chapter 33.3



Be Careful of Sparks (3)

“And if I try to contact the Cheonyonghoe or the Joongmae Gang before they reach out to me first, then I could end up getting lynched afterwards.”

This was a sensible amount of caution.

What else could possibly happen if the police showed up right after he acted out of character and tried to make contact first?

There was no way he’d be able to guarantee his own safety in the aftermath.

“Don’t think of it as solely a matter for the Guma Gang, try reaching out to a few other organizations. If things really keep going like this, we’ll all be screwed.”

There’s a saying that even if a rich man goes bankrupt, he can hold on for another three years.

No matter how far the Guma Gang had been put on their back foot, they still had more than a few strings that they could pull.

“I get what you’re saying.”

“Okay, then. You know that we’ve been riding on the same boat since the very beginning. Once the Joongmae Gang bastards are done for, you’ll be able to regain your hold on the drug trade and rise back up. While I’ll be there, taking care of collecting girls through safer methods.”

As Myeong Bo-Hoon stood up, Min Seok-Gi also got up and affectionately patted him on the shoulders.

This was completely different to when they had first met that night, you could even feel a sense of affection between them.

“I’ll call you once I’ve found anything out.”

“Okay. As quick as you can. You know what’s at stake right?”

“I know. The Guma Gang, we’re not finished yet.”

Min Seok-Gi uttered these words with a firm expression.

When Myeong Bo-Hoon left Exodus, he walked over to the car that was waiting for him.

As soon as he was seated in the back seat, Myeong Bo-Hoon let out a long sigh.

The wrinkles on his face worsened, and he looked as if he had just lost several years of his life.

Having picked up its passenger, the car slowly pulled out of the alley.

“…are you satisfied with this?”

He said this as he took out a small earpiece from his ear.

The handsome man in the driver’s seat also took out a similar earpiece.

“Very nicely done. You sure can act, is it because you were the head of an entertainment agency?”

“Enough. Just keep your promise.”

“Of course.”

A deal had been struck between the two of them.

He had promised that, whatever happened, he would create a few openings for Myeong Bo-Hoon to escape through.

Of course, Go Ji-Hoon had no intention of keeping that promise.

As soon as I entered the office at the police station, I heard the voice of a news anchor.

[Next up is the latest news. Only a few hours after the news of the famous congressman Jang Man-Chun-ssi’s granddaughter having gone missing was announced, her trail has been found. Her clothes and cellphone were…]

That was quick.

The television hanging from the wall was already reporting on the discovery of the congressman’s granddaughter's cellphone.

“When did you get here?”

“Aren’t things a little quiet today?”

If it was like usual, things would be much more hectic during this evening hour.

But in fact, it seemed a lot less busy than it was this morning.

The place kind of felt like it had been abandoned.

Without taking his eyes off his computer, Black answered my question.

“The security officers and all the other guys have all gone out to back up the investigation teams.”

“They need back up? Where did they go?”

“Where do you think? To Incheon, of course.”

I was left speechless.

It took at least an hour to get to Incheon from here in Suan.

Even though this was a congressman’s granddaughter, it was definitely overkill.

Black also seemed pissed by this, judging from the way that he was pounding on the keyboard’s arrow keys.

He was currently looking at the CCTV footage from the Dongsu Neighbourhood area.

Tap, tap, tap

“Oi! You’re being too noisy. Quiet down a little.”

Team Leader shouted out, unable to endure hearing this sound any longer.

“There’s just too much footage to go through. Way too much. And even though there’s all these things piling up, all the officers of the Suan Police Station get called over to Incheon.”

“Well, they found her clothes and handphone there, didn’t they?”

“We’ve also found the same sort of evidence. From the case that the newbie’s attached to! He also found the victim’s handphone thrown away alongside her clothes, so what’s with this difference in treatment.”

“That was just the testimony from a loan shark, while the granddaughter’s handphone really was discovered by one of us. That’s the difference, you punk. Anyway, aren’t you being a little too prickly today?”

After Team Leader shouted at him, Black returned to checking the footage while grumbling to himself.

I picked up a stack of papers that was lying on top of my desk.

It was a list of the people who had recently disappeared from the Suan area.
