Villain Detective is a Chaebol

Chapter 30



A high-end Korean restaurant in Cheongdam-dong.

A familiar interior.

In the farthest room, Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency Commissioner Kim Taek and Daesang Construction President Lee Yoonjae were sitting.

“……So maybe I'll take the seat of the Commissioner General, hahahaha!”

Commissioner Kim Taek burst into laughter in a loud voice. But soon his laughter diminished.

“Ah, yes.”

This was because President Lee Yoonjae was filling his mouth with food. President Lee Yoonjae quickly spooned, nodding his head as if it didn't matter who said what in front of him.

“Ehem…… I'm saying this is all thanks to President-nim! Hahaha!”

Commissioner Kim Taek burst into laughter as he tried to look away once more. However, Lee Yoonjae didn’t care.

“I understand, so let's eat first, I'm hungry.”

“Ah, yes. By all means…….”

Commissioner Kim Taek raised his spoon with an embarrassing cough. It had been a few minutes since they had been eating in silence like that. Commissioner Kim Taek, who couldn't stand it, carefully opened his mouth.

“President Lee, about Sangma Construction…….”

“Ah, that!”

Only then did Lee Yoonjae raise his head and meet Commissioner Kim Taek's eyes.

“I forgot for a second, we met to talk about that, right?”

“Pardon? Ah, yes! That’s right. President Seo Jinsang of Sangma Construction is about to be arrested, so I wanted to ask what President-nim thinks.…….”

Lee Yoonjae put his spoon down with a Tak!.

At the same time, Commissioner Kim Taek stopped talking. Wondering if he had made a mistake, he was nervous. His opponent was the third-generation chaebol and the president of a large construction company. Even if he looked clumsy and dull, he was a guy who could do anything when he was in a bad mood.

In addition, a guy who could cover anything with money. Commissioner Kim Taek swallowed dry saliva. However, it was Lee Yoonjae's soft voice that led to a different result from his worries.

“I know, I hope Commissioner-nim will deal with it as quickly as he can.”

“Then, it doesn't matter if I hand it over directly to the prosecutor…….”

“That’s right.”

Lee Yoonjae smiled with his thick cheeks folded.

“Instead, you know, right? You'll tell the prosecution separately that all the links between Sangma Construction and Daesang Construction should be removed, just in case.”

“I understand, don't worry!”

Commissioner Kim Taek bowed his head with a loyal expression. Commissioner Kim Taek bowed his head to the young man for a long time, but his expression looked genuinely happy.

‘From Congressman Cha Hyunchang to Daesang Construction President Lee Yoonjae……!’

Commissioner Kim Taek had devoted his life to managing personal connections.

There had always been a limit to increasing and maintaining personal connection with just one type of connection. Even if he wanted to establish a relationship with key powers, it was not that easy.

However.

‘Lee Hyunsoo, that guy is a very good thing. Thanks to him, I've been able to meet these people…….’

Congressman Cha Hyunchang and President Lee Yoonjae were all personal connections asked by Hyunsoo. At first, he thought it was simply a young police officer who was lucky to receive media attention.

‘He would be a very good sword.’

It was when Commissioner Kim Taek's smile deepened.

Knock knock-

“Ah, I guess the additional menu came out. Come on in.”

The door slid open and an employee with a familiar face came in with food.

“Here's the additional food and water.”

He was a subordinate of President Park, who recorded the conversation between Incheon Commissioner Go Junhwan and Congressman Cha Hyunchang.

“Please call me if you need anything else.”

The employee, who put down the bowl full of food and the last bottle of water, left through the door.

* * *

At that time.

The room next to Commissioner Kim Taek and President Lee Yoonjae.

The door opened, and the employee who had just left food and water in the room of Commissioner Kim Taek entered.

“…….”

Without saying a word, the employee bowed his head to Hyunsoo and put a tray containing a small cell phone with an earphone jack on the table.

“Thanks.”

The employee bowed her head once more and left the room.

Then Hyunsoo put the earphones in his ears right away. Through the earphones, he could hear the conversation between Commissioner Kim Taek and President Lee Yoonjae in the next room.

-……President-nim, you look like Chairman Lee Yoonhee-nim, so you're very good at dressing, you can be a model.

-What do you mean model? I picked up clothes from my mom's department store and came out wearing them. Ah, but this fish is really good.

-Ah do you like fish? Then maybe fishing……? When I go fishing, I won’t forget to…….

-I hate fishing because it's boring.

Hyunsoo let out a light sigh and took out his notebook.

‘They're just talking nonsense…….’

Then, listening to their conversation, he wrote something in his notebook at the same time.

‘Seoul Commissioner Kim Taek, and…….’

In the notebook, the names of Congressman Cha Hyunchang and Daesang Construction Lee Yoonjae are connected, centering on the name of Commissioner Kim Taek.

Politics, economy, police…….

Hyunsoo intended to put all of them in the palm of his hand and move them.

To deal with huge chaebol conglomerates, to reveal their bare faces.

* * *

That night.

Hyunsoo was walking through the residential area with a black plastic bag in his hand.

‘Daesang Construction President Lee Yoonjae’

Hyunsoo's father, Lee Hanseok, had four siblings.

Among them, his younger sister Lee Yoonhee, Chairman of Daesang Department Store, and her only son Lee Yoonjae, President of Daesang Construction.

Lee Yoonhee, Chairman of Daesang Department Store, who divorced when Lee Yoonjae was young, raised her son dearly. Thanks to this, Lee Yoonjae, who grew up in a chaebol family and only received love from his mother, became a rich fool who didn't know how to do anything.

‘Still, there is nothing stronger than the back of parents in the company.’

Lee Yoonjae took the position of President of Daesang Construction because of his bloodline. Advantageous connections were naturally formed because of his family, but he didn't know how to do anything himself.

‘He's someone who can be manipulated enough like Commissioner Kim Taek.’

It would take a while to deal with Chairman Lee Yoonhee, Lee Yoonjae's mother. She was a person who took her share accurately among brothers who had no blood or tears.

‘If Chairman Lee Yoonhee doesn't notice…… I can make Lee Yoonjae my puppet.’

Ultimately, it could be the entire Daesang Group that had to be fought. Fighting against such a huge conglomerate was impossible even for Hyunsoo, who had a lot of inheritance.

‘I need to move while controlling everything well.’

Step step-

Hyunsoo entered the house and climbed the stairs.

Beep beep beep-

Soon after, the door lock opened, and Hyunsoo shook the black plastic bag with a bright expression.

“Grandma, I bought chicken.”

He handed the bag to the grandmother who greeted Hyunsoo happily. Then, when he turned around, the grandmother caught Hyunsoo.

“Aren't you going to eat with me?”

“Ah, I have something to look at. You should eat first.”

“……Okay.”

For some reason, the grandmother sent Hyunsoo without asking further. It was because of Hyunsoo's expression.

“That expression again…….”

The grandmother, sitting in the chair, looked at the room where Hyunsoo entered without touching the plastic bag.

* * *

Hyunsoo entered the room and took out the materials from the desk drawer. Most of them are data related to the Daesang Group.

And the bottom.

He opened the file labeled [Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency].

“Commissioner Kim Taek.”

The front page was a piece of paper with the identity and characteristics of Commissioner Kim Taek written on it. The Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency created a good image several times, and it was Hyunsoo who brought about the result. Commissioner Kim Taek knew this. And he knew that this result would have a great impact on his delegation as the Commissioner General.

There.

‘I've got the reporters there for an interview, and I've got the plane flying…….’

Although he was more of a blind man than a police officer, he was someone who never forgot favors.

‘I'll get a call soon.’

Then, Hyunsoo's cell phone vibrated. It was a text notification. As expected, the sender was Commissioner Kim Taek.

[I’ll meet Commissioner General-nim in 2 days, I'd like you to come with me.]

A smile was drawn on Hyunsoo's lips.

‘He's a guy who doesn't go beyond expectations.’

* * *

The next day, on the way to work.

Hyunsoo, who came to work by bus after a long time, was crossing the crosswalk in front of the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency.

“Inspector-nim!”

Hyunsoo, who had crossed the crosswalk and entered the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency, turned around. From a distance, Police Officer Kim Yoojoon was running, waving his hand with a happy face.

“You have good eyes too, you punk.”

It was when Hyunsoo, who raised his hand, was about to greet Police Officer Kim Yoojoon.

“……Now?”

For a moment, Hyunsoo stopped. Because the scene flashed in his head.

* * *

Thump thump!

An office that looked familiar, a dull sound rang out.

“You stupid *sshole! You can't control a nutcase like that?!”

This was the office of the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency's deputy chief of investigation.

Park Seunggil, Deputy Chief of Investigation, was striking the shin of Team Leader Heo Insung.

“I’m, I’m sorry…….”

Team Leader Heo Insung, who had been holding his legs and frowning, suddenly straightened his back.

“I, I didn't know until the interview…….”

“That's why you should have kept an eye on him from the time he said he was going to catch Commissioner Go Junhwan with the crazy woman of the Metropolitan Crime Investigation Unit!”

“At that time he handed over the credits to the Metropolitan Crime Investigation Unit…… I thought he wasn't interested in that kind of thing…….”

Deputy Chief Park Seunggil's fierce eyes continued. Team Leader Heo Insung immediately bowed his head.

“I’m, I’m sorry!”

“Anyway, what that bastard does isn't normal. He wagged his tail at Commissioner Kim, and now he has decided to go to the meeting with Commissioner General-nim with him instead of me tomorrow.”

“Huh, pardon? Meet Commissioner General-nim with that guy……?”

“That’s right!! He wouldn't have done this if you'd done it right!!”

Once again, Deputy Chief Park Seunggil's foot flew off, and Team Leader Heo Insung bent over.

“Ha…… How the hell did he coax Commissioner Kim Taek…… Now it seems like he trusts him more than me…….”

Deputy Chief Park Seunggil let out a deep sigh and messed up his hair.

Then.

Bang! He hit the table with his fist.

“I thought he was a guy who ran amok with a vain sense of justice, but he was a tiger.”

Deputy Chief Park Seunggil, who was sitting at the table, turned to Team Leader Heo Insung.

“It's not like Commissioner Kim Taek seems to like him a little, he even held an interview himself…….”

“What, what should we do?”

“Knock him down somehow, or either you or I might be knocked down.”

* * *

Again, in front of the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency.

Hyunsoo opened his eyes wide at the end of the scene.

‘This is also an assault case…….’

The corners of Hyunsoo's mouth, which had been hardened, curled.

‘This is a pretty good ability.’

Hyunsoo, who was raising the corners of his mouth in a fishy manner, raised his head and looked at the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency. Above the wall of Seoul Police Agency, through the trees, he could see the building.

‘I wasn't sure, but…….’

Top floor of the building.

A room close to the center, where the curtains were drawn. This was the room of Park Seunggil, Deputy Chief of Investigation. Hyunsoo's gaze, which stopped there, shone coolly.

‘It tells me exactly who my enemy is. It's a very useful skill.’
