Water Torture Room Secret Meeting (1)

The central intelligence director surrounded by the crowd walked stride stride crossing the airport lobby.

Toward President Shim pulling the travel carrier.

“What matter up to here?”

“I of course came on business trip because of work. What matter the central intelligence director?”

President Shim glanced around.

Reporters under central intelligence control and Busan area famous figures recognizable at a glance.

Those who flocked crowded to the airport all looking only at the central intelligence director.

“Welcome event quite noisy.”

“Somehow became.”

“Okay? This not ordinary scale?”

“What not okay? Matter came down prepared from the beginning.”

President Shim’s exclusive patent!

Worry and nagging couldn’t hide.

“Surely not information leaked from central intelligence?”

“Why? Worried dying sniped at the airport?”

“Yes.”

Just a few years ago the first lady assassinated by sniping and held state funeral.

The president also received assassination threats several times.

Therefore a time concentrating all nerves and sincerity on security and protection of national important figures.

“Because His Excellency’s order.”

“······Even the central intelligence director came prepared to die crushed by work.”

As if feeling homogeneity, President Shim’s eyes solemn.

“Even a person of the central intelligence director’s level does if above says do. How beautiful the back of a person prepared for overwork death. Keu, will cheer.”

Both hands thumbs.

“No matter bearing risk if calling in this many crowd seems quite dangerous. Did central intelligence certainly control information flowing to the North Korea side?”

“Didn’t.”

“Huk!”

President Shim almost shouted ‘crazy?’ without knowing and barely endured.

“By any chance openly demonstrating asking to kill?”

“Openly dispatching armed guerrillas south and turning Busan upside down North Korea first.”

“······Yes?”

“Didn’t see newspaper? These days Busan turned upside down because of armed guerrillas.”

“······No, then our boss making that fuss saying establishing shipping company in this chaos······?”

President Shim tightly pressed the throbbing temples.

“No matter opportunity comes in crisis, this too much?”

President Shim naturally made a suffering sound.

‘Surely······ not?’

A terrifying premonition struck the back of President Shim’s head.

‘Ei, no way our Young Master caused this mess······.’

President Shim forcibly cut the chain of thought.

Hard shook the head and tried to deny the rising fear.

The central intelligence director opened the mouth heavily.

“Taeseong’s brain. That friend’s guts quite large.”

“······Suddenly why looking for Taeseong’s brain?”

“This that friend’s work.”

“Heok!”

Won’t be!

Not!

Have to not!

“If not that friend couldn’t obtain this so easily.”

The central intelligence director put a hand in the inner pocket and slightly showed the golden nameplate with the Blue House mark stamped.

“Will repay this debt solidly in the future.”

“······!”

President Shim covered the mouth with a hand.

Whether or not.

The central intelligence director smiled meaningfully.

“Opened Incheon Port as promised.”

Why Incheon Port again?

“Heard bringing in tanks? Finished talking to customs too.”

“······.”

“Instead we take responsibility for guns 80,000, tanks 9, gunpowder and bombs 10 tons.”

“······Oh my god!”

President Shim shrieked like having a seizure.

Guns?

Gunpowder?

Bombs?

“Why acting newly surprised? Not even mentioned yet matters regarding submarines and the smuggling king’s bribe ledger······.”

“Eohuk!”

Submarines?

Bribe ledger?

President Shim inhaled like a patient with hyperventilation.

The central intelligence director glanced back and gestured with eyes.

“If not that why think these friends flocked to the airport and made this fuss?”

“S, surely······!”

“No need to worry. As promised not yet reported to the Blue House.”

“Heeok!”

President Shim urgently rummaged the suit inner pocket with trembling hands.

Took out cheongsimhwan and gongjindan and poured into the mouth at once and chewed crunch crunch.

Head rang ding.

“Okay? This not ordinary scale?”

“What not okay? Matter came down prepared from the beginning.”

President Shim brought out the same question as when first met, and the central intelligence director returned the same answer.

But the gazes looking at each other completely different.

“President Shim, anyway seems quite many words we have to do among ourselves?”

The central intelligence director smiled meaningfully.

“Instead of doing this here how about drinking one cup of tea and this situation how······ hmm?”

Now not time leisurely drinking tea!

President Shim rummaged the suit inner pocket and took out tonic packs as caught in hand and tightly gripped in the central intelligence director’s hand.

“Hope avoid overwork death and sudden death with this.”

“······?”

“Then I this much.”

Dadadadadada.

President Shim pulled the travel carrier roll roll roll like doing 100 meter dash.

“Taxi!”

“President Shim, wait a bit······!”

The central intelligence director urgently stretched a hand.

“Words to convey to Taeseong’s brain······!”

“Director, contact from the Blue House!”

“Director, brief enough!”

People looking for the central intelligence director too many.

The central intelligence director instantly surrounded by people, and the Busan taxi carrying President Shim ran like crazy at the sound ‘bullet, double!’

* * *

The central intelligence director dismissed people and headed straight to the central intelligence Busan branch.

“The smuggling king?”

“Detaining without touching even one fingertip as instructed.”

“Where?”

“Water torture room.”

“Guide.”

The central intelligence director headed to the underground water torture room of central intelligence.

Whoosh.

The central intelligence director paused.

Inside the water torture room not only the smuggling king but another familiar person.

“President Shim, why you here······?”

Air damp because of humidity rising from the tiles, quite dark basement creaking only one incandescent light without window.

President Shim there busy playing the pen with head buried in the table.

Stacked documents a mountain.

President Shim couldn’t take eyes off the documents so didn’t even give a glance toward the central intelligence director.

“Came? Late.”

“So the central intelligence director also should have ridden the bullet taxi.” Muttering President Shim busily turned the documents.

Pararak.

Scratch scratch scratch.

Tak tak tak.

Click click.

Moving hands like a machine without rest and clearing the documents.

A speed suspicious whether properly reading.

Yet the document mountain full on the table no sign of reducing.

“What everyone doing here now?”

“Working?”

All sticking noses side by side on the table fighting with documents.

Only one young central intelligence agent quickly standing and saluting fighting with documents.

From the beginning curious why a central intelligence agent wrestling with documents like that there.

“In the central intelligence water torture room?”

“Indeed. What to do. Documents proliferate even just breathing. If above says do do.”

President Shim shrugged shoulders yet couldn’t take eyes off the documents.

Checking with red colored pencil with the right hand, tapping the calculator dada da with the left hand.

“Erai, calculation wrong!”

“Ha······!”

“Think me invisible and resolve the matter came here yourself. Then I will work a bit.”

Tadadak. Pararak. Scratch scratch.

The central intelligence director flowed a hollow laugh as if absurd.

“Your matter also the smuggling king?”

“Wrongly pointed. My matter not that side but this side.”

The direction President Shim pointed with the fountain pen without sincerity a small head seated.

The small head jumped down from the chair and gathered both hands prettily and bowed at the navel.

“Hello, Cha Jeong-hyeok.”

“Taeseong’s youngest grandson? Why you here again······?”

“Came to buy tanks?”

“······.”

The central intelligence director looked back at Director Kim.

“How this situation going?”

“Absurdly all fact. Nothing particularly becoming problem······.”

“Seems problem from locking Taeseong’s eight-year-old grandson in the central intelligence underground water torture room.”

Jeong-hyeok grinned and shook the documents.

“Ah, that okay. If purchase contract already finished long ago.”

“Director Kim.”

“Th, that, the director’s order also, and His Excellency the president’s handwritten instruction also······.”

When Director Kim only pouring cold sweat and flustered.

Jeong-hyeok grinned and pulled out a chair.

“Sit. Anyway seems quite many words we have to do among ourselves?”

The words the central intelligence director handed to President Shim.

Whether the central intelligence director looking with strange eyes or not.

Jeong-hyeok jumped back up and sat on own chair.

“As know hard finding a place with more thorough security than here?”

The reason Taeseong’s youngest grandson volunteered and was in the central intelligence underground water torture room.

Thud.

The central intelligence director sat on the chair.

“Everyone go out.”

“Yes.”

Everyone poured out in a rush.

Except President Shim working hard.

Jeong-hyeok checked the wristwatch.

“Because I came down as day trip today too hope the conversation a bit hurried. Okay?”

Jeong-hyeok held out the black document file.

“What’s this?”

“Thinking of establishing a shipping company.”

The title of the black document file <​Busan Area Conciliable Important Figures Power Map>.

Jeong-hyeok immediately brought out the main point.

“Hope release the smuggling king.”

The biggest problem Taeseong faced while making enemies with U-gwang the distribution network related to import and export.

The reason the smuggling king coveted.

“A matter His Excellency watching.”

“Instead I will resolve the central intelligence director’s three difficulties.”

Jeong-hyeok counted fingers.

“No thought of making a solid support base in the Busan area?”

The central intelligence director’s eyes momentarily flashed.

Eyes flashing with ambition.

But the central intelligence director instantly wrapped expression and gaze as usual.

“I’m a person working in central intelligence. Reason have to make support base?”

“Not regrettable?”

Jeong-hyeok asked subtly.

“Heard the Blue House security chief forming close relationships with ministers and vice ministers sticking by the president’s side 24 hours, and the army security commander operating private organizations in the military and boasting sticky unity?”

But this man who took the central intelligence director position to investigate Kim Hyeong-won no such forces.

“Busan, seems many merits in several ways to make as support base. Not?”

The central intelligence director couldn’t deny.

If not that purpose no reason to volunteer the annoying steps to Busan.

“Heard received the golden nameplate from the president?”

“Thanks to.”

“If central intelligence sets mind and swings the knife handle can turn Busan upside down.”

Tax investigation, seizure search, wiretap, blockade order etc.

“But hard moving so noisily to that extent. His Excellency worries public sentiment shaking.”

Political enemies also won’t leave that appearance quietly.

The reason can’t move public power freely carelessly.

Jeong-hyeok grinned.

“But this time situation different. Just armed guerrillas floated in Busan and caught tightly while smuggling tremendous weapons.”

“This also thanks to.”

The central intelligence director also grinned.

“Seeing the pants on fire appearance seems interesting things hanging hanging many if digging.”

“Need to move so radically?”

“Hmm?”

“How about making themselves moderately pick and offer only problem parts?”

“What?”

“Picking the level not buying His Excellency the president’s anger and only taking care of performance.”

The central intelligence director smiled faintly.

“No way such possible.”

Crazy would pick and offer own corruption themselves.

Everyone would be busy hiding.

Thud.

Jeong-hyeok put down the black document file in front of the central intelligence director.

“Corruption books of Busan area high-ranking public officials to politicians.”

“Hmm.”

“Of course received back money, ugly behaviors occurred at drinking seats, grudge relationships, crime histories, dirty private lives that can cause scandals included.”

“Skill also good.”

The central intelligence director smiled.

Already calculation finished sound.

Sometimes private weaknesses more fatal than public inspection.

“One more. Came down this far, if returning empty-handed not regrettable?”

Another shine passed in the central intelligence director’s eyes.

Politics takes a lot of money.

Money needed to gather people, money needed to use people, money needed to bury people.

Now the central intelligence director fighting a bloody battle in the middle of political strife.

“What think the reason President Shim working busily in the central intelligence water torture room boasting ironclad security?”

Jeong-hyeok pointed the document mountain President Shim processing.
