Chapter 465

Episode 465 Detective

Ahn asked Hong Gyeong-jun as he sat in the driver’s seat.

“…So you have a good personality?”

Hong Gyeong-jun, in the passenger seat, nodded resolutely.

“yes.”

“But you’re not a bad person?”

“yes.”

“This is a fart.”

Even though he was wearing his seat belt, Detective Ahn was dumbfounded.

“How on earth did you get involved with someone from a wealthy family?”

“I remember we told you everything in the conference room.”

“Do you think I’m asking because I’m curious or because I’m genuinely sorry that our youngest’s life has turned upside down?”

“I felt like I was asking because I was curious.”

“Hey… I’m really…”

After Hong Kyung-jun’s remark, ‘I’m not stupid and Jae-heon Lee is smart,’ Detective Ahn and Captain Park realize that there really was a real relationship between Hong Kyung-jun and Lee Jae-heon. caught. And asked. How could Hong Gyeong-jun, a commoner himself, and Lee Jae-heon, a model royal, get involved?

Hong Gyeong-jun responded as follows.

‘…We met at the park.’

‘What kind of park?’

‘The park in front of Oseong headquarters.’

‘Ah there.’

Actually, Lee Jae-heon’s workplace is Ohsung Planning Team. It looks like Jaeheon Lee has a hobby of taking walks in the park.

What seems to be roughly the same thing is that Hong Gyeong-jun has been traveling around the area to conduct research in recent months. To catch the criminal.

‘And Jaeheon Lee told me all the questions I’ve been asking recently.’

‘Oh my gosh, Gyeongjun…! Blinking huh? They told me to come in with the blinkers on!’

Detective Ahn’s voice still sounded good as Captain Park lamented.

“…No matter how much I think about it, he seems like a dangerous person.”

While driving, Detective Ahn glanced at Hong Gyeong-jun.

“Of course, all the information you asked about was good. It is an undeniable fact that thanks to that, we have definitely caught the tail. But instead, because of that, the ugly hairs got stuck firmly in my head.”

“I’m not afraid of that.”

“You need to be a little scared. No, what I mean is that they were also aiming for you to become isolated like this. “Do you think a person named Lee Jae-heon would have given you such advanced information with pure intentions?”

It was a conversation I had already had with Captain Park in the conference room for a while, but I couldn’t stop talking in a similar vein again. That’s because things were going so strangely.

“As the captain said earlier, how did Jaeheon Lee know that information in the first place? “There are only two cases: either they are customers of the industry or they purposely looked into it because of you.”

“I understand you didn’t know about the industry from the beginning.”

“Regardless of how you know that… then it’s actually even weirder? What do you say? They tell you what a great person you are and go into the industry and ask for information. “It’s not like you and that guy have been dating that long, so there’s no reason to get your hands dirty and give him information, right?”

And I couldn’t believe Hong Gyeong-jun’s statement that he wasn’t from the industry.

‘It’s that party.’

A large company that merged with a gangster organization that was a model of the private loan business without any hesitation. Nevertheless, they were an amazing family that maintained a traditional and homely image.

Because it’s such a big company, they can’t just talk about it. From the moment we started investigating the ‘industry’, this party was under suspicion.

Detective Ahn sighed deeply.

“Why did you get involved with such scary people…”

“People. People. “I have no connection with this party except Jaeheon Lee.”

“Oh, that person named Lee Jae-heon is separate from how rotten this party is? How long have you really been protecting a human being like that? huh?”

“I’m not covering it up, I’m just stating the truth.”

“You bastard who is bursting inside.”

Of course, the information that Lee Jae-heon gave was of great help to the investigation.

Even police authorities only recently became aware of the existence of the ‘industry.’ We conducted an investigation starting with the fact that Junggu Heating crimes, which had nothing in common other than being cruel, were using similar words such as ‘sponsor’ and ‘work’, and eventually found out that the place they were working in was referred to as ‘industry’.

But that was all.

‘What kind of precious people helped so much that not a single speck of dust came out?’

So, it is true that great progress was made in the investigation thanks to the information provided by Lee Jae-heon. It’s just that the true intentions of the person who provided that information are questionable.

“…If you listen to what the class leader said, he doesn’t seem like a person with a good reputation.”

“It’s a rumor.”

“You have a tendency to become inflexible when you are obsessed with someone. You know that’s absurd, right? “It’s not something I particularly like, but sometimes people say, ‘Is there smoke coming from the chimney?’”

“It’s a rumor.”

“I don’t understand.”

Even though it seemed like he was always treated like a child and mistreated, Hong Gyeong-jun was a capable junior. Since I have a job, of course I have the flexibility to live a social life. However, the downside was that whenever he became obsessed with something, his flexibility was reduced to zero. That seemed to be the case this time.

However, I also had this thought.

“Yes, I was wrong. Are you done?”

It’s been a while since I’ve seen Hong Gyeong-jun this obsessed.

‘…This is probably the first time since Yeonwoo or the viper bastard.’

Detective Ahn suddenly remembered a police officer with jet black short hair and asked.

“Are things going well with you and Yeonwoo these days?”

“yes?”

“yes? What is an example? “It’s such a shame for Yeonwoo, but if I leave it like this, you won’t be able to get married and you’ll end up in the homicide squad for the rest of your life, so I can’t do anything about it.”

“I’m sorry, but that’s not the case.”

“Why not? “Are there any other people you communicate with privately besides Yeonwoo?”

“You could contact me, why are you doing that?”

“Oh, I don’t know if I’ll be able to see you get married before I die.”

I also talked to police officer Kim Yeon-woo because I often had the opportunity to meet him. I remember being surprised by the pure and clean human image that seems to only appear in shonen cartoons. Hong Kyung-jun appears to be selfish, but he doesn’t seem to have any self-awareness. As I said, I doubted whether I would be able to see this bastard’s wedding before I die.

Another person that comes to mind like that.

“…Oh, is this right here?”

“Yes, that is the parking lot.”

Our poisonous snake man.

‘That gentleman was also very interested in Hong Gyeong-jun’s romantic situation.’

Hong Gyeong-jun, who got off at the parking lot, naturally guided Detective Ahn.

“…What are you? “Why do you know so well?”

“Because you’ve been here before?”

“ah-ha, I see.”

You said you stopped by my house while doing this?

‘That Hong Gyeong-jun?’

Although we made fun of him and said he was the youngest and fiercest, Hong Gyeong-jun had an iron wall. It got especially worse after the poisonous snake died like that. In the meantime, I thought there was something odd about it. I really liked that person named Kim Yeon-woo.

‘That’s not it, I just felt relieved these days? He’s not really this kind of bastard. weird. Even though he’s a guy with no prejudice, he’s not the kind of guy who doesn’t know that getting involved with a chaebol family can be a pain in the ass, so he even stopped by my house…?’

Seeing the security guarding the main entrance of the building and the ornate lobby made me feel even more uneasy.

“…The real rich are rich. “What kind of officetel is like a 5-star hotel?”

Detective Ahn, who checked various amenities inside the building, followed Hong Gyeong-jun into the elevator. Clean mirror and light yellow lighting. It wasn’t just my mood, but even the elevator here was luxurious. If it was an attempt to discourage a police officer from the common people, I felt like applauding him for being great.

As I followed Hong Gyeong-jun’s familiar gait, I soon arrived at the door. Hong Gyeong-jun rang the doorbell and soon after, the door opened. It seems that Lee Jae-heon was also waiting for the police to come to investigate the witness.

Suddenly.

“….”

“….”

A black and pale man came out from inside the door.

Detective Ahn stiffened without realizing it.

Detective Ahn’s eyes were disturbed by the bloodless face, the expressionless expression that resembled a reptile at first glance, the solid-looking body, and the movements coming from it. Even putting all that aside, the look on his face with no expression and his eyes rolling over us sent a chill down my spine.

‘…What kind of person’s eyes…’

Before I could finish my thought, the man rolled his eyes and smiled.

“Nice to meet you.”

“…Oh yeah. Nice to meet you.”

Still, my senior, Detective Ahn, came forward and received his greeting.

“Are you Mr. Lee Jae-heon? I came to visit because I had a few questions regarding Hyeyeon Yoo’s accident. “Could you please give me a moment?”

“of course. “Please come in.”

“thank you.”

At Detective Ahn’s greeting, the man smiled silently again and entered the house.

I followed Hong Gyeong-jun, who followed him calmly, with a keen eye, and the house I entered was warmer than I expected. It was still lukewarm because the temperature had just been raised, but…

‘…I guess they leave the boiler on.’

Contrary to my first impression, as soon as I was surprised by the warm temperature, I saw the desolate interior of the house.

“….”

“…Aren’t you coming?”

“Go in, go in.”

Detective Ahn struggled to swallow the bitterness.

‘Even after seeing the inside of this house, I felt like defending it.’

Just like the first impression of a cold, winter-like interior, the interior of the house was barely decorated. The temperature was just right, and there were a few messy places here and there, but that actually gave it a strange feeling. Detective Ahn was convinced that the subject of things like the blankets scattered on the sofa and this warm air was someone other than that man.

‘…Do you tend to invite other people often? No, no. Do you judge people based solely on first impressions? Surprisingly, you may have the personality of an insider. A person might look a bit like a reptile.’

Wait, reptile?

“….”

Hong Gyeongjun, this bastard?

‘Isn’t that why you defended it that way because it overlapped with poisonous love?’

If that were the case, it was understandable that Hong Kyung-jun’s life had recently become quite relaxed. There was a clear difference between the rigorous life of a detective and the life of not living like a human being. Still, I wondered if I had escaped the death of a poisonous snake these days. What if I was resolving my internal conflict in this way?

“As you can see, the living room is in disarray, so I’ll take you to the study. Are you sure you don’t mind?”

“…Wherever Jaeheon Lee is comfortable is fine.”

“Thank goodness.”

Detective Ahn, who was following Lee Jae-heon, suddenly noticed that Lee Jae-heon was limping on one foot. It was such a big movement that I wondered why I didn’t notice it right away.

“…?”

Did you hurt your ankle?

Lee Jae-heon, who guided them to one of the many rooms in the long hallway, led them to the study. Detective Ahn, who had continued to observe even then, suddenly noticed that Lee Jae-heon was looking at him.

Our eyes met.

“….”

A gaze of observation so dry that it cannot be compared to one’s own.

Although the eyes were dark, the saturation was low, like a faded photo. Those eyes, which hardly looked human, seemed to be looking at a corpse or a doll. I didn’t feel alive.

As I froze and couldn’t find anything to say, the other person spoke first.

“Wait a moment and I’ll get in the car.”

“…Oh, thank you.”

“you’re welcome. Please wait comfortably.”

widely.

When the door closed and they were alone, Detective Ahn touched his forehead.

“….”

“Do you have a headache?”

“…It’s because of you.”

“yes?”

“No, half… half is because of you.”

“Please speak clearly.”

“Please keep your mouth quiet.”

Perhaps it was because the thought occurred to him once that Detective Ahn also saw the appearance of a poisonous snake on the man. Am I crazy when I start to think that even their gait and tone of voice are similar?

‘…But it’s someone else.’

The poisonous snake was not in such a dangerous mood. Although he acted a bit recklessly at times, he was secretly affectionate and even frivolous. On the other hand, that man’s demeanor was noble and much more serious, perhaps because he was from a well-established family.

So it was a pain in the ass.

“…It’s so different from what I thought…”

Isn’t the atmosphere completely different from ‘Lee Jae-heon’, who the class leader told me about, who had no power whatsoever, had poor management skills, and was extremely incompetent? At this point, I felt like I had stuck my head in the maw of a tiger.

Hong Gyeong-jun, who may or may not know what Detective Ahn was thinking, calmly scratched his head again.

“Yes, didn’t I say it was a rumor?”

“… Well… if it was going to go in this direction… shouldn’t you have told me in advance?”

okay. Of course that’s right. It was definitely a rumor. The man Detective Ahn saw was different from the common old men that Captain Park had mentioned.

But Hong Gyeong-jun, this bastard, spoke as if he was defending a kind and kind person…

Even in the meantime, the junior was confident.

“I said everything I could.”

“There are times when you really make me explode.”

“That can’t be right.”

“It happens quite often….”
