Villain Detective is a Chaebol

Chapter 28



“How, how do you get here……!”

It was an abandoned factory far from Sangma Construction. A factory with no relation to it. They intentionally chose a place that could not be tracked and tried to send Assistant Manager Jo Youngkwang's last.

However.

‘How did he come after us……?’

The kidnapping of Assistant Manager Jo Youngkwang was in the parking lot in front of the Sangma Construction building.

‘Did he follow us from there? But how did he know Assistant Manager Jo Youngkwang?’

They didn't understand. Hyunsoo didn’t know Assistant Manager Jo Youngkwang. He was just a member of the dead Head Manager Park Jangwon's team. It was also recently learned that he was investigating the death of Head Manager Park. The police couldn’t know such internal information. Seo Jinsang looked at Hyunsoo with trembling eyes.

“Ah, your eyes are shaking every time you see me.”

Hyunsoo looked relaxed. Seo Jinsang hurriedly rolled his eyes.

There was no sign of anything outside the factory. It was a factory located on the outskirts, so you had to bring a car, but what he could see through the crack in the open door was only Hyunsoo's car.

That meant Hyunsoo came alone.

“Ah……The detective who said he didn't even look at money less than 3 trillion Won? But what brings such a rich man here?”

“Wow, that's nonsense…….”

Hyunsoo, who was slowly approaching Seo Jinsang, shook his head.

“You're talking too harshly.”

“It doesn't matter what I say…….”

“Will you be able to say that in front of the judge?”

“What? Judge?”

Seo Jinsang, who opened his mouth wide, began to laugh.

“Why would I stand in front of the judge? I didn't commit a crime.”

“Did you put an iron plate on your face? Now then what is this situation? Are you having a campfire together?”

Hyunsoo kept a certain distance from Seo Jinsang while examining the condition of the captured Jo Youngkwang.

“Go to the interrogation room and finish the chat, and let's go now.”

“Where?”

“Police station.”

“Why?”

Hyunsoo took the handcuffs out of his back pocket.

“Seo Jinsang-ssi, you're under arrest for kidnapping and attempted murder.”

In the factory, Hyunsoo's words became silent. Soon, however, Seo Jinsang and his group laughed. Seo Jinsang, who was laughing at Hyunsoo, opened his mouth.

“Oyy, Detective-nim. Are you here alone?”

“Do you think I'm here alone?”

“……What?”

Seo Jinsang hesitated for a moment at Hyunsoo’s immediate reply. But soon the corners of his mouth went up meanly.

“Bastard, you're acting like a cop. If you didn't come alone, where's the rest?”

“Maybe…… on the way?”

President Seo Jinsang moved slowly toward Hyunsoo.

“Hey, Detective Lee Hyunsoo-nim, so you should have taken it when I gave you money. I could've given you 300 million Won, aiya, 300 million Won for a cop.…… Isn't that money in minutes? And if you're going to go big, do it with sincerity. What is 3 trillion? 3 trillion is not even the name of the house dog. Is not it?”

Seo Jinsang, who looked at the secretary behind him, burst into laughter with the secretary.

“So my proposal then was the chance of a lifetime…….”

“Ah, I didn't say that.”

“What?”

“The murder charge against Head Manager Park Jangwon.”

Seo Jinsang's face hardened at Hyunsoo's words.

“And you know that you can be guilty of obstructing the execution of official duties by falsely reporting missing person from the building collapse, right?”

“…….”

His eyes moved fast. Hyunsoo seemed to be suspicious of the missing worker, but he didn't think Hyunsoo would have found out about the collapse. But it didn't matter.

“Why is Detective-nim so extreme? There's no evidence, there's no warrant, so how can you drive such a good citizen?”

“Is there really no evidence?”

“…….”

Seo Jinsang looked at the secretary behind him. The secretary nodded his head at his gaze. This meant that there would be no evidence for Hyunsoo.

“There isn't, for sure.”

Seo Jinsang shook his head.

“Now, what do you want to do?”

There was no evidence for Hyunsoo, and he was standing here alone. There was nothing Hyunsoo could do now.

Except for running away.

Seo Jinsang and several men slowly approached Hyunsoo with a fierce look on their faces.

Then.

“There is.”

It was a voice heard from behind. Seo Jinsang's head turned around.

“Evidence.”

Assistant Manager Jo Youngkwang, who was caught, spewed out the words. Seo Jinsang frowned.

“……Evidence?”

“Your confession.”

A thin ballpoint pen came out between the shirts of Assistant Manager Jo Youngkwang's wrist.

“What is tha…… No way.”

It was a recorder.

A few hours ago.

Most of the employees left the company early because it was Friday. The only desk where there was a presence was the desk of Assistant Manager Jo Youngkwang.

“I have to figure it out somehow…….”

It was at his funeral that Assistant Manager Jo Youngkwang suspected the death of Head Manager Park Jangwon.

Assistant Manager Jo Youngkwang usually followed Head Manager Park. However, for some reason, he suddenly heard strange things from his colleagues.

“Assistant Manager Jo, don't get close to Head Manager Park from now on.”

“What? Why?”

“I don't know, I heard from Head Manager Lee. I heard President-nim took a strong shot. He said he would kill Head Manager Park. They said it was a mess. So don't stand out for nothing and be quiet.”

It was not only Assistant Manager Jo Youngkwang who heard the words. In an instant, Head Manager Park Jangwon became a loner in the company and ended his life like that.

“I’m sorry…….”

On the day of the funeral.

It was when Assistant Manager Jo Youngkwang, who felt guilty about the death of Head Manager Park Jangwon, was on the verge of collapsing due to alcohol. Head Manager Park Jangwon's wife quietly handed him a pencil case.

“He used it at work, but he left it at home that day. It was used by the company, so Assistant Manager Jo should take care of it.”

Head Manager Park's wife, who didn't know what happened at the company.

After accepting the pencil case, Assistant Manager Jo Youngkwang swallowed down tears and opened the pencil case. The pens and highlighter used by Head Manager Park Jangwon. And in between.

“What USB…….”

The USB contained the truth about the missing worker case.

Conversations with other workers who knew about the disappearance, and pictures of the scene where Seo Jinsang handed over money in return for covering the truth. It was clear that Head Manager Park Jangwon would not have taken his own life over this evidence.

Assistant Manager Jo Youngkwang also suspected the death of Head Manager Park. But there was no evidence.

“It's the worker case. Even if it's revealed on USB, Head Manager Park...…….”

It was when he sat down and covered his face with his hands, thinking about it.

“That, Assistant Manager Jo Youngkwang-nim?”

Assistant Manager Jo Youngkwang was startled by the sudden voice and stood up.

“Wh, who…….”

It was Hyunsoo who came to Assistant Manager Jo Youngkwang. Hyunsoo took out his official ID and showed it.

“Po, police……?”

“I don't have time, so I'll say it briefly. Assistant Manager Jo, President Seo Jinsang and his secretary will kidnap you and try to kill you.”

“……Pardon?! What’s that…….”

“You're investigating the case that Head Manager Park Jangwon was chasing, right? A missing worker case”

“That…….”

“It was Assistant Manager Jo Youngkwang-nim who visited Reporter Han Wooseob of the Jeongsan Daily, right? To reveal that the disappearance of a worker is not a simple disappearance.”

“…….”

For more accurate evidence, Assistant Manager Jo Youngkwang investigated the case further.

“President Seo Jinsang knows that Assistant Manager Jo is digging into the death of Head Manager Park and the worker case.”

“He, he knows……?”

Hyunsoo handed the recorder to Assistant Manager Jo, who looked at Hyunsoo with rounded eyes.

“Catch President Seo Jinsang with me.”

* * *

“You…… You son of a b*tch!!”

President Seo Jinsang, who walked to Assistant Manager Jo, quickly stole the recorder.

Then.

“You motherf*ckers!! Something like this! I can break it all down!!”

He threw the recorder on the floor and began to stomp on it mercilessly. The recorder, which had begun to crack at the heel of his shoe, shattered. However, Hyunsoo, who was still looking at the excited President Seo Jinsang, only shook his head back and forth.

“You're acting awkward again. Hey, President Seo, you don't even watch movies?”

“What?!!”

Hyunsoo took out his cell phone with a sad expression.

“The recording was being backed up live. Would you have saved it in one stupid way?”

“……Eek!”

President Seo Jinsang's eyes opened wide. Then he swung at his men.

“What are you doing? Catch him!”

At the same time, the factory door slid open.

“Wh, what!”

“Everyone stay still! Police!”

Then, detectives from the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency rushed in with Police Officer Kim Yoojoon, who was waving eagerly.

“Inspector-nim! We are here!!
