Power of Public Power (2)

“Haaaam······.”

Whether tension released, or because deep night approaching midnight.

Director Choi yawned long.

Rubbing bloodshot eyes with the back of the hand rub rub rub then eyes met.

“Not drinking coffee all day······ keuheum!”

A crude excuse.

“Couldn’t drink coffee the whole time running from Seoul to Busan.”

Because boiling and eating cup ramen at the rest stop.

I also thought of drinking one cup of ssanghwa tea since got off at the rest stop, but gave up not seeing a teahouse.

An era coffee vending machines not long since imported from Japan, hard enjoying coffee conveniently outside.

“The power of caffeine that even raises lab zombies!”

Director Choi smiled awkwardly.

“If a guy rolling in the lab have to periodically supply this in between. ‘This is doping time!’ Of course. Yes yes.”

Tonic would flow in our office family’s blood vessels.

Caffeine seems flowing in research institute people’s blood vessels.

“Should have said long ago.”

“Yes?”

“Let’s go. To drink one cup of tea.”

“Yes?”

No, why opening eyes so.

Didn’t know even Yu Jong-tae’s eyes would become round not knowing Director Choi.

“Young Master, seems I heard wrong just now. Not saying going somewhere?”

Yes, then heard correctly correct.

“We locked in the warehouse now?”

Yes, know.

“Outside now flea market itself? Heard the noisy siren sound?”

Yes, so saying go out now.

Director Choi groaned like a dog wanting to poop.

“Didn’t see those rugged people glaring earlier? Can’t we wait quietly just 15 minutes?”

“Does public power’s great disaster look like X.”

I farted.

“If wanting to see Samdocheon tangled together like this wait quietly there.”

Whoosh.

The quick-witted security guard Yu Jong-tae stood up.

“Young Master, I like sugar coffee!”

Director Choi blankly blinking eyes or not.

“Young Master indeed ssanghwa tea? Floating two eggs. Let’s go!”

Bang!

Yu Jong-tae immediately kicked the warehouse door bang.

Largely retreated back and charged with shoulder this time.

Bang!

Still not budging.

Clack clack!

Trying to turn the door handle with strength but no way.

“Seems firmly locked. Moreover steel plate quite thick. This became troublesome?”

“Know well often locked in the lab. Such structure no method if not opening from outside······ Young Master, what doing now?”

“Don’t know looking? Picking the door.”

I took out wire and hairpin set from the coin wallet and entered work.

Clink, clink.

“No, where obtained such again?”

Where obtained.

Brought the one used when picking the safe in the Hannam-dong house basement.

‘Indeed this era’s locks crude beyond measure. I earned pocket money quite with this in the past?’

Working at the pawnshop picking locked items nothing.

Thanks to that skill came and nothing couldn’t pick.

Picked safes, picked doors, picked bottle caps······ done!

“Somehow seems faster than before? Indeed our Young Master!”

“No, what eight-year-old little Young Master······!”

“Ha, if don’t know don’t say words! Our Young Master originally picks doors well, picks bottles well, picks contracts well?”

Waaaaang!

Hearing from outside the warehouse the siren sound heard better!

Yu Jong-tae agilely explored the surroundings and lowered the voice.

“Seems no one nearby. Not even leaving one sentry?”

“Outside would have faced an unprecedented emergency now. Natural being mindless.”

We made steps a bit faster.

“Don’t know if knife fight happening doing this.”

“K, knife fight? What such scary sound······!”

“Who not the research institute’s flower gentleman so pure.”

“The opponent police!”

I clicked the tongue.

“Where only police the opponent? Central intelligence Busan branch and maritime police under the Ministry of Interior, even Busan Prosecutors’ Office all mobilized?”

“Whaaat?”

I pointed over the shoulder.

“Look. Crowded even looking from afar?”

“Eohuk!”

Even roughly hundreds.

Moreover troops dressed in each different uniforms, completed armament.

Loudspeaker sound mixed between siren sounds.

“You are surrounded! Discard weapons!”

“Raise hands and lie on the floor!”

Shouts protesting as if unfair also burst.

But with the bang! fired blank sound and the sound of armed police military boots followed behind.

Yu Jong-tae stuck the back tightly to the warehouse outer wall and guarded the surroundings.

“This atmosphere going around really not ordinary?”

Agree.

But only Director Choi showed a completely different reaction.

Face fully opened and joyful appearance clear.

“Fortunate! Police fully dispatched, now we became safe?”

······Just abandon here and go?

“Why police dispatched? Precisely to protect innocent citizens like us······!”

“Came to smuggle and about to be caught on site?”

“······Uh?”

What to do with this fool?

“Young Master, we not even seen smuggling tanks of course contract······!”

“What business saying came to the warehouse where murder case occurred accompanying an eight-year-old child at this late night?”

“······To buy mackerel?”

Will believe that?

“Knife fight. If waiting quietly in the detention center won’t Taeseong Group side safely extract? Chaebol 3rd generation?”

Director Choi trembled.

“The one fired earlier blank correct? If hit by real bullet staying here what to do?”

Director Choi shook the head left and right violently.

“We not even seen smuggled goods yet, not written contract, not given money, so not particularly smuggled, not one team with that side.”

“If locked in the detention center like this Director Choi’s charge chaebol 3rd generation kidnapping or abduction?”

“Whaaat?”

“There even arson, drug distribution charges seem added?”

“Whaaaat?”

Director Choi looked back at me with an unfair expression.

“Smuggling maybe not, arson and drugs really not! I really too unfair!”

Yes, know. Dirty false charge.

The smuggling king does smuggling but doesn’t handle drugs.

“Director Choi, the reason blood fishy smell in the loading warehouse at this late night, what think?”

“How would I know that? Still drugs not?”

“Drugs, would be correct?”

By the atmosphere going around the ones in the drums there probably very high probability because violated such smuggling king’s iron rule.

“Whaaat? Not joke really?”

The quick-witted security guard Yu Jong-tae also clicked the tongue.

“No matter how stuck in the research institute lab and only devote to research, too dark to world going news?”

“······?”

“Hint. A few months ago a national big shot caught in Busan. Who that?”

“Drug king!”

Bingo!

The thick big shot drug king who was taking a different route from the smuggling king eradicated by joint investigation of Busan District Prosecutors’ Office and police drug identification team.

Organization collapsed and swept.

Accordingly the Busan floor turned upside down.

“Because gangs without distinction participated holding tools to occupy the drug king’s territory blood wind blew all over Busan.”

“Just before the drug king arrested fired shotguns and greatly resisted armed police. Heard police side damage also very large due to that?”

“Yes, thanks to that after that Busan area police suppression level also heightened.”

The sound recent Busan area atmosphere became very ominous.

If saying to what extent, can answer to the extent the smuggling king had to pour mackerel boxes and put effort into concealment saying will cover eyes and pretend at this late night.

Waaaaang!

Sirens can be said a kind of signal.

-Police dispatching! If not flee you X!

-Whether citizens or criminals don’t care so take care of body yourself!

Director Choi swallowed dry saliva.

Tried to smile hard trying to hide the rising anxiety.

“No matter how even so. Arson too much? Stacked goods also seemed quite many.”

“These guys guys who receive adding goods price transport fee, effort fee, risk allowance, entertainment expense, storage fee, customs clearance fee.”

“What correlation that with arson······.”

“Price depending on the selling guy attaching?”

“······?”

“The sound of calling price adding fire insurance fee after burning the warehouse wholly.”

“Euk······!”

Director Choi looked around the surroundings with eyes burning with anger.

“Can endure other things but can’t endure that! No matter market overcharging too much? Firmly calculate one by one······ up!”

The quick-witted security guard Yu Jong-tae covered Director Choi’s mouth.

Yu Jong-tae sniffed smelling.

“Gasoline smell quite thick.”

“Said cleaning not all finished. Have to prepare for when failed bribery and couldn’t even depart.”

Director Choi flinched.

Whether or not.

“How many drums filled with cement stacked in the loading warehouse now?”

“Don’t know but enough to have to transport with forklift.”

“But we haven’t seen the appearance of transporting forklifts from warehouse to ship until now.”

“Then have to hurry more.”

Indeed Yu Jong-tae!

I like quick-witted men!

Different from Director Choi who still only blinking eyes?

“If failing public power bribery have to do evidence destruction as second best?”

“S, surely······!”

“Even if stolen goods come out can deny smuggling, but once corpse comes out hard denying murder.”

Director Choi became haggard.

“If not wanting to burn to death have to run?”

Tadadak!

Director Choi fled hurriedly.

We headed to the car parked far past the Mackerel Fisheries Warehouse, far from people’s sight.

Whoosh!

Indeed.

Flames largely rose from the loading warehouse side.

To the extent visible even from afar black smoke soaring to the sky with red fire demon at this late night.

Fire spread instantly.

“Fire!”

“Call fire truck!”

“Where these bastards trying to flee!”

“Catch! Don’t miss even one!”

Chaos not far.

Screams burst here and there.

Vroom.

We leisurely escaped that chaos.

But the port also tightly blocked as much as inside after.

“Stop. What you guys? One team with those bastards?”

A young central intelligence agent blocked the way.

Yu Jong-tae tightly gripped the steering wheel.

Director Choi quickly sat putting the smuggling tank pamphlet under the butt.

“Suspicious? Why can’t answer? All get down!”

I rummaged the coin wallet and took out neatly folded golden light paper.

‘Didn’t know would use this here?’

I turned the manual lever and opened the car window.

Slightly handed the golden light paper.

The central intelligence agent made a frown and snatched the paper.

“What trick this······ eohuk!”

The central intelligence agent made a breath-stopping sound.

Hands holding the golden light paper trembling.

“P, president’s handwritten letter why here······!”

The paper talisman first taking out.

“Came to perform the president’s secret order. Would know hearing from the central intelligence director?”

“Many rudeness!”

The central intelligence agent saluted in a posture full of military spirit.

“Matter the central intelligence director specially instructed! Will safely escort to the hotel!”

“That enough. Instead want to request other.”

“Just say anything!”

“As promised thoroughly search that side!”

“Would there be?”

“Thoroughly to the bottom so tears fall!”

“Natural matter? Matter the central intelligence director instructed to cooperate doing best.”

Very desirable answer!

“A person with good skill wide connections ability.”

“Shall search the connections watching the backing? Shall search the hidden fund lines?”

If pointing pointing!

A person words communicating well to the extent regrettable leaving in the Busan branch.

“Both. Possible?”

“Of course. Want sweeping? Shall dig like carving only the smuggling organization?”

Wording somehow pleasing?

“That with ability, yourself, as convenient, as good. If only certainly taking care of the result I want.”

“Then the remaining matters meaning will overlook exceeding authority. Thank you.”

Tightly turning head and refreshing answer!

Pleasing!

“Will bring satisfactory results no matter means and methods.”

The central intelligence agent smiled confidently.

“Within ten days. Possible?”

“Have to run busily to match the deadline.”

I set a deadline of two weeks until delivery complete to the smuggling king.

No way needing that much time taking out the three tanks hidden in Jeju Island and moving to Incheon Port.

Including the time mercilessly beaten by public power.

The central intelligence agent rummaged the wallet and held out a business card.

“Central Intelligence Agency Busan Branch Intelligence Bureau Agent Han Myeong-ho.”

Han Myeong-ho?

Surely the Han Myeong-ho I know?

‘The shipping king’s knife catcher!’

A man I once eyed.

Because a coveted talent.

Yet the reason didn’t recognize separate.
