“·················ogue.”
Jeong Da-hyeon, who arrived in front of a high-end Korean restaurant, nodded lightly.
The sense of incongruity I felt when I saw Choi Jun-ho was not wrong. This is the place I followed after thinking that I might get into trouble.
I know that he had a bad view of Joo-Yeol Wang from the first day he joined the company. Wang Joo-yeol’s name appeared in drug gangs, and although it did not spread much, there were several clashes.
Above all, Joo-Yeol Wang has been arguing with each other, so it’s strange if you feel good.
“Still reckless.”
Joo-Yeol Wang is a public servant hunter who is stained with corruption, but he knows one thing about his network. They have a strong relationship among civil servant hunters, and they have strong relationships with large corporations and large guilds.
The name recorded in the ledger, and a few minor corruptions, can’t print him out.
So Jung Joo-ho didn’t like it, so he didn’t touch it hastily.
He also thought he should capture Wang Joo-yeol at some point, but at least not now.
“Shall I go in?”
Dahyun Jeong hesitated while hiding clumsily. You don’t have to worry about what you’ve been chasing at your own will, but it’s Choi Jun-ho, no one else, who took action.
She valued the new adjutant highly. From the outside, he is a handsome 25-year-old young man, but his contents are a whopping level 7.
It is still a mystery how he got to level 7 at such a young age, but apart from that, he is serious and hard working as a public servant hunter.
Also, it would be a lie if you didn’t like the way they did their best to arrest the villain, recognizing that it is a social evil that must be eliminated.
Although his hand was so cruel that even the villain shook his head, these days, I thought that it might be helpful in deterring the villains’ crimes.
It is difficult to imagine how many people would have suffered without Choi Jun-ho’s quick judgment and drastic action.
As I was pondering over whether to intervene or not, I woke up to the vibration of my smartphone.
It was Choi Jun-ho’s call.
– I caught the king Joo-yeol.
“······yes.”
– Please contact the director. After that, I want you to come inside.
The call ended with that.
“ha!”
It was as if he knew he was going to follow him. No, he must have been arrogant to think that Junho Choi, level 7, would not have noticed his tail in the first place.
After contacting Jung Joo-ho immediately, Jeong Da-hyun entered the Korean restaurant. It wasn’t difficult to know which room Choi Jun-ho was in.
“·················ogue.”
In the hallway, people in suits were lying on the floor with broken limbs. As we went inside along the road, we could see four people with broken limbs, including Wang Joo-yeol.
“They are back alley guild masters.”
“Are there any injuries?”
“There is not.”
“But this time it was dangerous.”
“When the opportunity came, I grabbed it. It would have been difficult to catch it now.”
It was difficult to empathize with Choi Jun-ho’s expressionless words.
I guess I would have attacked it and caught it anyway?
“Before the people come, I would like some remedies, please. Otherwise, I think I will die.”
“Are you Junho?”
“I shared it with three people here.”
“Oh, you already wrote it.”
Still, the condition did not seem strange even if he died immediately.
How badly did you handle it?
Jeong Da-hyun put a bottle of recovery medicine in Wang Joo-yeol’s mouth.
No matter how corrupt a civil servant hunter is, he is a level 6 skilled man, but he treats him so horribly.
“thank you.”
“Did you know I was coming?”
“I thought I couldn’t fool Dahyun’s intuition.”
“What if I hadn’t come?”
“I believed you would come.”
“The real Junho is a difficult person to know.”
It seemed as if he was praising his gift, but at the same time, it felt like he was playing with his hands.
The problem wasn’t bad. It shouldn’t be like this. I wanted to show my dignity as a shooter, but at some point I felt like I was being dragged away.
“Chief Wang is not a sloppy person.”
“I’ve heard it a few times.”
“You definitely have to have evidence to hold you back. Do you have any evidence? Yeah? I hope, isn’t it?”
Seeing Choi Jun-ho’s ambiguous expression, Jeong Da-hyun’s expression changed rapidly.
“Junho-san, didn’t you just do it with a heart attack?”
Rather, the people around him were more worried about it.
In fact, the party was indifferent.
“That’s all I showed you last time.”
“Really?”
“Yes.”
“···ah!”
Jeong Da-hyun closed her eyes tightly at the dizziness that was approaching dizzyingly.
After a while, Joo-Ho Jung arrived at a Korean restaurant with his direct subordinates.
Seeing the scenery in the room, he frowned.
“…you did it very splendidly.”
Jung Joo-ho, with his tongue stuck, looked at Choi Jun-ho and said.
“If you don’t catch it, you will be caught. Take them all.”
He was the one who immediately gave the order as if he wasn’t expecting an answer.
* * *
Wang Joo-yeol, who was arrested by the National Guard, started rioting the next day as soon as he woke up.
Being proficient in political tactics means being quick-witted. Realizing that his situation was dire, he denied all charges and shouted the Miranda Principle.
“Release now! Do you think you’ll be okay with this? Chief! You know what it means to keep an innocent day like this!”
“…it hurts my head.”
Jeong Joo-ho, who anticipated this trend, shook his head. The seasoned Wang Joo-yeol will not reveal any gaps by any means and methods for self-defense.
“·················ogue.”
Dahyun Jeong, who was standing next to her, pressed her temple tightly with her hand. After suffering all night, his complexion was somewhat pale.
If Choi Jun-ho had been possessed by that beauty even a little, such an accident would not have happened.
Being possessed by a woman is a problem, but taking it for granted is also a problem, and Jung Joo-ho clicked his tongue.
“What is Choi Jun-ho?”
“Wang Joo-yeol’s guilt is certain…”
“Even if the crime is certain, there must be evidence. Even that crime has no meaning unless it is a certain number of cases. No, in the current situation, unless you confess yourself, would it be difficult?”
Jung Joo-ho thought that Choi Jun-ho had the unique courage of a newcomer. So I tried to deal with it in my own line, but the current situation is that there is no proper way.
“I’ll talk.”
“Is there any way?”
“I’m going to try to put pressure on the ledger.”
“It won’t be easy.”
Dahyun Jung entered the interrogation room with a determined expression.
* * *
Two days after Wang Joo-yeol was arrested.
It was the moment I realized that the world of the Awakened was scattered like grains of sand, but it was a narrow world.
The arrest of Wang Joo-yeol, the second person in charge of the National Guard and the special team, became a big topic. It seemed like a big shock that he was also arrested by a subordinate.
In particular, Yoon-hee sharpened her teeth to reporter Ko Ye-jin by sending a link to the article titled, “How far does it fall?”
Anyway, the point of feeling the shock was different for each person, but the National Protection Bureau said that the shock that I took over Wang Joo-yeol and brought it was huge.
Externally, my level was 5 and Wang Joo-yeol was 6. There were not many cases where the lower level caught the upper level, and especially at 5 or higher, which can be said to be the upper level, since the level is the combat power, this rarely occurred.
Because of this, contact from several guilds rained. They called me a teacher, whom I had never met, and spread all kinds of cowardice.
If there were so many contacts, it was to the extent that my daily life was inconvenient.
But my contact information has never been posted anywhere else, so how do you know? For reference, my smartphone contacts were my parents, Yoon-hee, and Jeong Da-hyun.
Apparently, my personal information was not protected.
Unlike me, who suffers from the hassles of everyday life, Dahyun Jung’s face was tired of parched.
When asked about the reason, he answered in a weak voice.
“The interrogation of Team Leader Wang is not easy. You will be released after tomorrow.”
Since Wang Joo-yeol’s arrest was not a normal process in the first place, Jung Joo-ho can be detained for 72 hours as the head of the National Guard Bureau, but if he fails to do so, he will be released.
“Have you been interrogated?”
“I tried, and I vehemently deny it. He mentioned the existence of the ledger, but he had nothing to do with it and it was all fabricated.”
“You can’t even rob it?”
“I am still being suspected of being charged with only the charges. It’s impossible if we can’t prove it.”
And then he looks at me with resentful eyes. It was similar to Yoon-hee, who had a quarrel with me.
“That’s why I told you to be careful.”
“I don’t have much time left, so can I come?”
“Even the director said he would allow it because he couldn’t do it any more.”
For reference, until a little while ago, Jung Joo-ho was blocking the interrogation of Wang Joo-yeol.
“You cannot use violence during interrogation. On the contrary, it could be counterattacked.”
“Isn’t it a voluntary statement? I have a way.”
“Yes, but no coercive means.”
“Not even that. It’s just that there are some side effects.”
“Then I will report to the chief.”
“yes.”
After a while, Jung Joo-ho’s permission fell and I headed to the interrogation room.
Joo-ho Jeong and Da-hyun Jeong were standing outside, and Da-hyun Jeong in particular urged me not to do anything that would be reprehensible.
No violence, no drugs, no other coercive means, etc. In the end, it meant that they had to induce recognition with solid evidence or get a confession.
I honestly didn’t quite understand. As long as it’s clear that Wang Joo-yeol is a badass, you should be able to beat him with that. In this respect, it was a frustratingly inefficient organization.
“You haven’t confessed yet?”
“You bastard! I will kill you!”
When I went inside, Joo-Yeol Wang went crazy in a restrained state. I just sat across from him and watched him quietly.
Wang Joo-yeol, who had been glowing for about 10 minutes, took a breath as if he was struggling with power. But both eyes were full of life as if they would tear me to pieces and kill me.
“Woo-wook! Whoo! Looking forward to going out tomorrow. I will kill you by any means possible.”
“So.”
I’m not going to get out of here anyway.
I got up because I confirmed that he had no intention of confessing. And as he got closer, he screamed in horror.
“Don’t come close! Chief Jung! This guy is trying to use violence! Don’t come near me!”
“It’s not violence. From now on, you will forget about your worries and become happy.”
I reached out to the guy who was desperately shaking his head. My head was in my hands, and as soon as I used the gift, my eyes widened and my writhing stopped.
At that time, Joo-ho Jeong and Da-hyun Jeong, who were watching from the outside, came inside.
“Choi Jun-ho! What is this!”
“I am ready to make a statement.”
“What the hell are you doing…”
I threw out Jung Joo-ho’s words out of one ear and asked Wang Joo-yeol a question.
“Introduce yourself.”
“Wang Joo-yeol. I am 54 years old. Currently, I live in Daechi 2-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul.”
He began to disclose his information in detail, even in unnecessary parts.
As Joo-Ho Jung and Da-Hyun Jeong were astonished, I asked the following question.
“Why did you meet the guild masters two days ago?”
“They are in charge of distributing drugs. So, I was thinking of getting rid of Choi Jun-ho, who is moderately thorough and runs wild like a thunderbolt. Then Jung Da-hyun will be quiet, so we can rebuild the organization again.”
“Tell me all the wrongdoings you have committed.”
From then on, Wang Joo-yeol started talking about the corruption he had committed over the decades. The guy thoroughly made an accomplice, shared the profits, and created a community of fate by securing evidence. And he was careful not to reveal his existence by tenaciously pandering to those who caught his weakness.
From drug trafficking to human trafficking, illegal distribution of monster material, and collusion with criminal organizations, there was no end to the crimes Wang Juyeol committed.
“… Jeong Da-hyun, go to the place he said and look for evidence.”
Even after Jeong Da-hyun went out, Wang Joo-yeol’s confession continued. An hour later, when Dahyun Jeong came with evidence, a look of disappointment appeared on Jooho Jung’s face.
“What are the side effects of this?”
“There are no side effects. It just makes me think a little bit younger in the future.”
“A young accident? how old?”
“About five years old.”
“What is the name of this ability?”
“It’s called brainwashing.”
“·················ogue.”
I didn’t use this gift as much as the guy who had it. He has worked hard for a long time to create fanatics with his eloquent eloquence and creating a group environment, but I can’t.
Come to think of it, I will start building a force in earnest in a few years, but when I have time, I will visit it.
“Pandora’s box has been opened. Whoa, Dahyun-ah, contact the Holy Guild.”
Jung Joo-ho let out a long sigh.
* * *
After that, the work went smoothly.
Evidence was secured based on Wang Joo-yeol’s testimony, and the related crime guild was swept away.
The biggest problem was the connection with the Holy Guild that Wang Joo-yeol confessed to.
Although it was a crime committed by a subcontractor who invested in a subsidiary, the mention of the name of the Holy Guild was intense.
The Shinsung Guild is a guild created by Shinsung Group, the No. 1 business group in Korea, and is the largest in Korea. The actions of the National Guard may provoke them more than necessary.
However, there are no exceptions to crime.
Jung Joo-ho took this situation seriously and requested the attendance of those involved.
A few days later, a member of the Holy Guild visited the National Guard Bureau. They had a meeting with Joo-Ho Jung for a long time, and before it was over, the results started to come out as articles.
Whether it was negligence in management or cutting off the tail, the main content was to apologize, reprimand those involved, and manage them more clearly.
Lastly, I decided to support the National Security Agency with the meaning of an apology. Perhaps this was Jung Joo-ho’s goal.
After a while, the door to the director’s office opened and the person who was meeting with Jung Joo-ho approached me.
Even if they openly approached across the special team and tried not to be seen, they had no choice but to be seen.
“Hello, are you Choi Jun-ho?”
Standing in front of me was a dizzyingly beautiful woman.
Gorgeous decoration, confident smile, fatal charm and noble dignity were felt.
When their eyes met, the sultry eyes gently draw arcs.
“My name is Sehee Lee from the Holy Guild.”
