Villain Detective is a Chaebol

It was the next morning.

An undeveloped wasteland on the outskirts of Seoul.

Hyunsoo and President Park were standing there.

“Here?”

“Yes, I bought all of them in cash. Even if they search all the contracts and bank statements, your name won't come up.”

Hyunsoo nodded and looked around the ground.

“And the owner of the land happily sold it because I sang it several times more than the market price. It was difficult because only the land in this neighborhood was not being sold. Somehow, he babbled about not being able to live in Korea anymore, and that he was going abroad. So I guess you don't have to worry about that either.”

“What about Commissioner Go Junhwan?”

“Ah, it's in front of this land.”

President Park pointed with his finger at the fenced-in land in the distance. Undeveloped wasteland similar to the land purchased by Hyunsoo.

“The entire area is in the name of Commissioner Go Junhwan's wife.”

“If he puts it under his wife's name, it means he bought it with clean money…….”

On the previous day, Hyunsoo asked President Park to look into the assets of Incheon Commissioner Go Junhwan. Land, buildings, everything he can own. The tens of thousands of pyeong of land were thus found like that.

Hyunsoo looked around once again.

It was said that the land in Seoul was a gold mine, but the probability of development here was low.

No, as he searched while coming here, for some reason, the media were all showing negative views.

As Hyunsoo looked at the ground and rubbed his chin, President Park opened his mouth.

“Wouldn't it be possible to buy it with dirty money after washing it? I don't know why he chose this land but…….”

“That's right…….”

Hyunsoo, who was nodding his head, suddenly looked at President Park as if something came to mind.

“President Park, how's your daughter?”

“Pardon?”

The age difference between President Park and Hyunsoo was not that great. Of course, there was a superior-subordinate relationship between them, a detective and a criminal who was released from prison.

“Is she entering elementary school soon?”

“Yes, well……. She already has.”

President Park replied with an awkward face to the sudden family story.

“You want to be a great dad, don't you? More than a dad going in and out of prison.”

“Yes, I want to be a proud dad. That's every father's dream.”

President Park, who had made money from his service since he was young, had been imprisoned several times for the incidents that occurred while doing it.

Getting paid by the rich and powerful to clean up after them. Of course, in the process, it was him who always took the blame.

President Park, who had been in prison for such a long time, was overcome with a sense of skepticism at some point. Then Hyunsoo came to him.

“From now on, your body, let's use it for good deeds.”

Hyunsoo, who had a lot of money but actually had many restrictions due to his status as a police officer, needed people working for him. So the two held hands.

Of course, President Park did not wonder how Hyunsoo had so much money or why he was so obsessed with catching criminals. Because at least he wasn't helping with bad things.

“Don't worry, no one can open my mouth now. Of course, I won't tell a soul either.”

Hyunsoo believed in President Park.

Huge land plots for unknown reasons. There must be something behind it.

Hyunsoo nodded and got into the car.

“Let's go have breakfast.”

A few hours later.

A middle-aged woman was sitting in the conference room at the end of the second floor of Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency.

“Lee Hyunsoo.”

Charisma that seemed to overpower the opponent with her eyes and cigarette smoke that came out of her mouth.

A woman with her short hair tied tightly. It was Senior Inspector Shin Miye of the Metropolitan Crime Investigation Homicide Squad.

Creaak-

The door opened and Hyunsoo raised his hand.

“Salute.”

“Uh, you're Lee Hyunsoo. Salute, come in.”

As soon as the door of the conference room closed, Hyunsoo, who was looking at Senior Inspector Shin Miye, spat out a determined voice.

“The interior is a non-smoking area.”

“Ah sorry.”

Senior Inspector Shin Miye sighed and put out the cigarette. Then, she immediately shook hands with Hyunsoo.

“Nice to meet you, I am Senior Inspector Shin Miye of the Metropolitan Crime Investigation Homicide Squad.”

The only female police of the Metropolitan Crime Investigation Homicide Squad.

Hyunsoo also heard something about Senior Inspector Shin Miye.

A detective who was a former boxer and overpowered criminals who were usually larger than her on the spot at once.

Hyunsoo took her hand.

“I am Lee Hyunsoo.”

“Let’s sit.”

She looked rough, and she seemed like a police officer who only smoked indoors.

‘A detective who is said to pursue and arrest the criminal, once bitten, until he dies.…….’

Even before Hyunsoo was called the villain of the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency, she was a detective who was called a mad dog.

As Hyunsoo sat down, Senior Inspector Shin Miye opened her mouth.

“You know, right? Commissioner Kim Taek-nim asked us to catch him because of the Commissioner General position.”

“I know.”

“But we're the cops anyway, and we have no choice but to do it as he demanded, but…… Looking at it, I don't think he's a good guy. Right?”

Hyunsoo tilted his head at Senior Inspector Shin Miye who spoke in a roundabout way that did not match her personality.

“What are you trying to say?”

“No, just in case. You were rumored to be a crazy idiot with a sense of duty. Isn't this a target investigation? I'm afraid you'll get in the way. I hate having to explain to someone on the same side and being tired like that.”

“If that's the case, don't worry, I'm a man who puts catching criminals before companionship.”

“I like it, good.”

Senior Inspector Shin Miye turned her head and lifted the bag from the chair. A large amount of documents and photos were visible when the bag was opened.

Rustle- They were spread out on the table.

Hyunsoo scanned the documents with his eyes.

‘Incheon Commissioner Go Junhwan’s family relations, academic background, and the cases he investigated…….’

There were unusual photos behind the documents.

Commissioner Go Junhwan sat at a Korean restaurant and drank, and Go Junhwan shook hands with political figures.

In addition to this, a meeting with the vice president of a conglomerate with a factory in Incheon, and a meeting with the chairman of a construction company reputed to operate with dirty money.

It was a completely different image of Commissioner Go Junhwan from the reputation that was shown in the media and known within the police.

“All…… of these.”

However, what surprised Hyunsoo was the amount of information Senior Inspector Shin Miye brought.

‘As I've heard, once she has bitten someone, she’s the kind of person who digs up until the day that person is at death’s door.’

Hyunsoo looked at her with awe-inspiring eyes, and Senior Inspector Shin Miye uttered a dry voice as if nothing had happened.

“Go Junhwan, Commissioner of the Incheon Metropolitan Police Agency. You've been looking at the details, haven't you?”

“Yes, he was an ex-investigator, and unlike Commissioner-nim, I saw that he had solved quite a lot of cases.”

“That’s right.”

She handed over one of the files on the table to Hyunsoo.

“A police officer who was in charge of the investigation, had a good track record, and was serious about catching criminals. For a person like that has slush funds, it makes one wonder, right?”

“Frankly, yes.”

“Look.”

Senior Inspector Shin Miye nodded toward the file Hyunsoo received.

“The possibility of damaging evidence in Jihan Construction's poor construction case. The possibility that the son of the leader of the first opposition party rejected the drug allegation case itself. First of all, those two are the most certain.”

“This…….”

Hyunsoo, who was looking at the data, raised his head.

“Can we trust this?”

“You don't trust it?”

“No, but isn’t it possible that Commissioner Kim Taek-nim manipulated it because he was blinded by the position of Commissioner General?”

Senior Inspector Shin Miye nodded at Hyunsoo’s narrowed eyes.

“That's right, it makes sense. But you can trust this. I got it from a really trustworthy source.”

“May I ask who it is?”

“Eyy, that's not polite.”

Senior Inspector Shin Miye shook her head.

“Anyway, the point is that this is how they formed illegal collusion and created slush funds. But there's a problem.”

“What's the problem? The evidence seems more certain than I thought.”

“I don't know where the slush fund is.”

“Wouldn't it be in a house or a villa under a borrowed name?”

“No, Commissioner Go lives in a shabby apartment which is over 30 years old. I don't know if it's for show, but he can't put that much money in there unless he’s really brave.”

The estimated amount of slush funds accumulated through collusion and illegal activities was about 10 billion Won or more. Unless he had already secretly washed his money, he must have hidden it somewhere in cash.

“I’m sure there’re ledgers as well as slush funds.”

“Maybe…….”

A place came to Hyunsoo’s mind, who was racking his brain with Senior Inspector Shin Miye.

The right place to have big cash in real life, out of reach and out of sight.

“Did you see the land on the outskirts of Seoul among the properties listed by Commissioner Go Junhwan?”

“The outskirts of Seoul……? I think I saw it?”

Senior Inspector Shin Miye, who was looking through the documents on the table, pulled out a document.

More than 10,000 pyeong of land outside Seoul in the name of Commissioner Go's wife.

“Don’t tell me down here…….”

Hyunsoo nodded as he looked at Senior Inspector Shin Miye’s sparkling eyes.
