Villain Detective is a Chaebol

Chapter 17

Did you call me?

Hyunsoo, who opened the door and came in, saluted with a serious face and sat on the sofa.

Yes, Inspector Lee Hyunsoo. Let's have a cup of tea first.

A shiny forehead on a round face. Commissioner Kim Taek, who was short but had good looks, poured the tea.

At the same time, Hyunsoo looked around.

Behind Commissioner Kim Taek was the nameplate written [Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency Commissioner Kim Taek] and the neatly arranged files. Behind those, orchids, which were found in any executive room, decorated the window in a row. And finally, a golf bag placed in a small space next to the bookcase could be seen.

Graduated from the Police Academy and had no outstanding performance, but was promoted at a high speed. However, there is no significant background.

The position of the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency Commissioner was always a topic of gossip, and in the case of Commissioner Kim Taek, the gossip especially focused on the money side.

-He must be the hidden child of a high-ranking big shot to be promoted like that without any performance.

-No. He works hand in hand with the gangsters to create slush funds and feeds the superiors with money.

-Don't you see that hes crazy about the media, he'll eventually jump into politics.

In the end, even in Hyunsoo's eyes, it seemed that there was something wrong with his background. Whether it was personal connections or illegal activities, Hyunsoo planned to deal with it after using Commissioner Kim Taek first.

Actually, I'm calling you to hand you a case, Inspector Lee.

It was what he expected.

Commissioner Kim Taek took a sip of tea and handed over the documents on the table to Hyueonsoo.

It seems that hes making illegal slush funds by colluding with a company. The issue is, he's such a well-.

Hyunsoo, who received the document, examined the contents.

[Full name: Go Junhwan.]

[Allegations: Forming illegal slush funds by forming a close relationship with a company and taking care of the company's interests]

Hyunsoo, who had been looking at the name and the photo next to it, raised his head.

It was a face that he knew.

Commissioner-nim, this person is.

That's right, hes the commissioner of the Incheon Metropolitan Police Agency. I know. He is also a person being discussed with me as a candidate for the Commissioner General position.

The appointment of the Commissioner General was only a few days away.

Similar positions, similar influences.

Kim Taek, the commissioner of the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency, and Go Junhwan, the commissioner of the Incheon Metropolitan Police Agency.

In the end, the final appointment was up to the president, but public opinion on them could not be ignored either.

Remove the rival instead?

Hyunsoo, who was receiving public attention, would investigate Go Junhwan, the commissioner of the Incheon Metropolitan Police Agency.

A true police officer who exposed the disgrace of those in power and called for justice even under external pressure.

Taking advantage of Hyunsoo's so-called reputation, Kim Taek was planning to blow his rival, Incheon Metropolitan Police Agency Commissioner Go Junhwan.

You know what I'm talking about, don't you, Inspector Lee?

Commissioner Kim Taek did not hide his true intentions. Looking at Hyunsoo, he drew a benevolent smile.

Help me, and I'll take care of you.

Hyunsoo nodded.

There will be support from the Metropolitan Crime Investigation Unit* as well.

Its a joint investigation?

Yes, on a small scale. Instead, stay as quiet as possible during the investigation. Anyway, it's better to reveal it when you're sure. Senior Inspector Shin Miye of the Metropolitan Crime Investigation Unit, who originally investigated Commissioner Go, will come.

Commissioner Kim Taek's thick hand grabbed Hyunsoo's shoulder.

I'd like to ask you a favor.

* * *

Go Junhwan, the commissioner of Incheon Metropolitan Police Agency. I heard he has wiped out a huge drug ring before.

As he came down the stairs, Hyunsoo turned on his cell phone and searched for Incheon Commissioner Go Junhwan on the Internet.

[Incheon Commissioner Go Junhwan, the youngest ever, revealed that he had recommended the police to his two sons.]

[Lecture on Police Officers with Incheon Commissioner Go Junhwan.]

[Incheon Commissioner Go Junhwan declared at this briefing that he would eradicate crime in the Incheon area..]

There was no article with useful information. Hyunsoo then scrolled down.

Then an article appeared.

[Incheon Commissioner Go Junhwan, an ex-investigator, uses his old skills to give special practical instructions to the major crime team.]

Ex-investigator.

A person well-versed in investigations. In other words, unlike Commissioner Kim Taek, Go Junhwan held the Incheon Commissioner position due to the results of the investigation he had accumulated step by step.

This kind of person is making slush funds.

It was then.

What did he say?

Team Leader Heo Insung appeared out of nowhere and blocked Hyunsoo. He pretended not to be interested and told him that the Commissioner was looking for him, but he seemed quite anxious.

Hyunsoo, who had been watching Team Leader Heo quietly, spoke dryly as he moved his steps.

He gave me a case.

Case? What case?

Do you want to investigate slush funds?

Huh? What slush funds?

Hyunsoo made a mischievous expression toward Heo Insung, whose head was tilting.

Team Leader-nim, the slush funds that were swindled back in cooperation with criminals.

What?

Im just joking.

Yah!

Heo Insung, whose face was white in an instant, grabbed Hyunsoo's collar and said.

It, it's not real, is it?

No. Why would Commissioner-nim care about Team Leader-nim? He wouldn't even know your name.

Thats true but No, so what case did he entrust?

Ask him yourself.

Hyunsoo moved on, leaving the complaining Team Leader Heo Insung behind.

Then, making sure no one was around, he turned on his cell phone and called someone.

President Park, are you free now? It's not difficult this time, it's what you do best.

* * *

At that time.

Seoul Commissioner Kim Taek's room.

With a knock, the door opened and a tall middle-aged man entered.

You took a picture with Inspector Lee Hyunsoo, who is famous for being the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agencys nutcase.

The man's name was Park Seunggil, the deputy chief of the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency's investigation team.

Sharp eyes and angular jawline. Moreover, he was much taller than the average person, and the overwhelming power of his atmosphere was considerable.

Whether he's crazy or not, he's the star police officer that the media is paying attention to.

Deputy Chief Park Seunggil sat in front of Commissioner Kim Taek. Commissioner Kim Taek had a cold smile unlike when he faced Hyunsoo.

Besides, I like him because hes crazy, isn't it perfect for us to tame him and throw him away as soon as there's a problem?

That's true.

There's nothing to worry about around him, in Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency, its said that he was a villain and his colleagues didn't like him. He's just a guy with nothing.

Actually, I'm stuck on that part.

Commissioner Kim Taek's head turned at the words of Deputy Chief Park Seunggil.

Which part?

The part where a guy with no connections or anything can't get his act together and provoke others like that. That's not what a normal person would do, is it?

Commissioner Kim Taek shook his head.

There are people like that by nature. Those guys who think they're heroes and run wild. That's why Lee Hyunsoo became a star.

That's true, but.

Deputy Chief Park, just relax.

Hyunsoo, seen from the position of the commissioner, was only a police officer receiving the attention of public opinion as a mere inspector. There was nothing to fear or be afraid of.

For Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency Commissioner Kim Taek, who was about to sit as the Commissioner General, Hyunsoo was just a bullet.

If it goes well, Deputy Chief Park will have a junior he can trust, and if things don't go well, he can just be cut off. He's just that kind of guy, you know?

Deputy Chief Park Seunggil nodded at Commissioner Kim Taek's words.

Yes, I understand.

Now, good job everyone! But first, let's toast to Inspector Lee Hyunsoo of our Team 1, who made this occasion possible! Cheers!

That evening.

An alley across from Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency.

In the pork belly restaurant filled with smoke, the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency's Major Crime Investigation Team 1 and Team 2 were having a get-together.

For Inspector Lee Hyunsoo! Cheers!

The clinking of glasses came from several tables.

The person who made the toast was Han Daesung, the team leader of Team 2.

It was a toast on behalf of Team Leader Heo Insung, who was already drunk and had his head stuck in the corner.

How many cups did your team leader pour, seeing that he stretched out like that even before the get-together started?

Team Leader Han Daesung shook his head as he saw Team Leader Heo Insung drunk.

Just leave him be, hes just like that. Is it because I did well that his stomach hurt.

Hyunsoo, who was answering, stopped talking.

This was because Inspector Kim Jinhyuk of Team 2 sat opposite of Hyunsoo with a glass of alcohol.

Team 2 Inspector Kim, what brings you to this table?

Inspector Kim Jinhyuk smiled lightly at Hyunsoo's unwelcome expression and filled his glass.

I'm having a get-together because my colleague is doing well, so I'll have to have a drink with him. Let's toast.

He handed the filled glass to Hyunsoo. Then, Hyunsoo and Kim Jinhyuk's glasses collided.

So you went to see Commissioner Kim Taek-nim?

It was the words of Kim Jinhyuk, who bottomed up the alcohol in one go.

Uh, did Team Leader Heo tell you?

Well. Yeah. Anyway, what case did he entrust? For Commissioner-nim to directly hand over to the inspector?

Hyunsoo drank alcohol with an expression of Guess it on his face. Then.

Incheon Commissioner Go Junhwan.

.

Hyunsoo, who paused after pouring alcohol, looked at Kim Jinhyuk.

Looking at your expression, it's right. When you drink, you can't control your expression.

.

Maybe its the slush funds?

At the same time, Hyunsoo put the glass down on the table.

How did I know? Well, just a guess. Actually, I think that's the only reason Commissioner-nim would call you separately.

At the time when Hyunsoo's eyebrows were furrowed, his cell phone on the table vibrated.

Excuse me for a moment.

You know I was in Incheon police station, right? With Commissioner Go Junhwan.

Kim Jinhyuk continued to talk to Hyunsoo, who was getting up.

Ask me if you have any questions.

Then, with Kim Jinhyuks smile, Hyunsoo left the restaurant.

What is he up to?

Jiiing- Jiiing-

As the cell phone kept ringing, Hyunsoo put the cell phone to his ear.

Uh, President Park. Say it.

-I looked into it as you said earlier, and when I looked for it, there was something that came out, so I bought it right away.

All right, good job.

Hyunsoo put down his phone. His smile, not showing what he was thinking, was drawn.

But one thing was for sure.

Now he was going to pour the astronomical amount of money he had into solving crimes.
