The Reincarnated Cop Who Strikes With Wealth

EP4. Undocumented Victims
“Young master, we have arrived. ”
I looked out the window at the familiar landscape.
Imminent collapse of buildings cling to each other.
Cars were parked disorderly on the side of the road and there was garbage under the lamppost.
It's the same in my memory.
“Dong-man is going to be redeveloped soon. ”
“Is that so?"
Manual.
It was a town I lived in before I went to prison.
I didn't talk about redevelopment in my day.
It's only been a year.
“The manual next to it is so successful. They keep talking. ”
From afar, you can see towering buildings that don't know the sky.
Adjacent to manual, but as spectacular as any other world.
There was an officetel where the seawater lived.
“Where can I go from here? ”
“I'll go alone. Have some coffee. ”
“But · · ·”
The old man told me not to leave him alone.
I looked up at my phone, saying not to worry.
He said he would contact me if anything happened.
The second phone I stole from Director Kim.
I decided to use it well for a while.
“I'll be back in an hour. ”
“Be sure to answer the phone. ”
“Oh dear, Director Kim. ”
I stopped trying to close the car door.
“Do you like pizza? ”
“Fantastic.”
“Then 30,000 won. ”
Director Kim opened his wallet, biting his lips.
A bunch of cheques found in the drawer were all worth a million won, I'm afraid.
It seemed that the ancient ones were the only means to stimulate the son who was confined to the house.
Do whatever you want to do.
But nothing woke him up.
No, but aren't you supposed to be supporting your son?
I don't really know what's going on in his heart.
Well, my contingency plan is enough anyway.
“I'm a salaryman. ”
“Don't worry. I'll pay you back in full. ”
“Come back in time. ”
I closed the car door with a smile on my face.
* * *
Sandy old pizza place.
I circled the alley and found a familiar sign.
This is where I worked from when I was in high school until I went to prison.
The windows were stained and covered in all kinds of junk.
If a stranger sees us, he'll think we're screwed.
“Still here. ”
There was no motorcycle in front of the shop.
The part-time student has left for delivery.
I opened the shop door with a nervous mind.
What would you do if there was another me?
You wouldn't believe me if I told you something like that.
“Welcome. ”
A generous man sits at the counter.
That stubbornness never wakes up even when a guest arrives.
That's the boss I used to know.
You look a lot fatter than last time I saw you.
“What would you like to eat? ”
The same kind of bitch that talks.
At a young age, the blunt boss couldn't be so scared.
I couldn't even make a sound if I was being pushed like a salary bump.
Now that you think about it, you're so young, you don't know the world.
There are plenty of places to work if not here.
To me, orphans, the world was so small and harsh.
“A special pizza, please. ”
“Are you going to eat? ”
“No, the packaging. ”
“30,000 won. ”
I handed him a tight bill.
The boss took the money and shook my face.
You've never seen such a handsome face before.
I've never seen it before.
“Hey, boss. I have a question."
“Yes?”
“Do you know if it's Ban Min-soo? ”
“Ban Min-soo?”
The boss tilted his head.
“This is the young man on the motorcycle here. ”
“What are you talking about? We've only driven one motorcycle in the past. ”
“Yes?”
“There he is. ”
A motorcycle stopped outside the window.
A young man leans in with his head bent.
“Hey! Why are you so late? ”
“I'm sorry."
“Son of a bitch. You're the reason I ordered it. ”
The boss used to say that all the time.
The only thing that blows up is flies.
The young man smiled shyly and went inside the store.
“By the way, all I know how to do is ride a motorcycle, and it's that shape. ”
The boss complained to himself.
I'm sure you can hear everything inside.
Given the situation, I don't think I have a past.
It was replaced by someone similar.
“Do you know about the seawater murder? ”
“Nobody here in Dong-man doesn't know that. ”
Park Han-dong.
It's all the same to me, but he was a Chinese delivery man.
He probably lived nearby.
“Says the killer was a Chinese home delivery guy. Where is the Chinese house?”
“There? We're screwed. I guess I'm just a local businessman after all. ”
If it had been the way it was, the pizza place would be ruined here.
The boss seems to have enjoyed talking to customers for a long time.
Seeing as how he keeps running around without a scratch.
“I heard he grew up with his brothers and sisters. ”
“Is that so?"
“I guess growing up without parents makes me sick. Our delivery guy's an orphan, but he swears he's screwed. ”
“ · · · · · ·. ”
The boss wrapped the pizza in a dazzling gesture.
He wasn't a good boss in his past life, but he was a real piece of shit from the perspective of a third party.
You can see the young man's head leaning over the opaque window.
Is that what I look like?
Did he look so miserable and miserable?
I could have shrugged more. I didn't know that.
I shouted in the inner room with a well-packed pizza.
“Hey, there. Inside. ”
“Yes?”
“Would you like to come out for a moment? ”
The young man came out confused.
I took a closer look and it looks a little like me.
“You don't get paid on time, do you? ”
“Yes?”
“More than half the hourly price. ”
“Hey, what are you talking about? ”
“Why don't you pay for the motorcycle repair, too? ”
The young man's eyes were frozen.
Like how do you know that?
The boss' face, on the other hand, swelled red as if he had been stuffed into an oven.
“I know I've been there, but this guy doesn't change that easily. ”
“This is insane! Hey, Iron Yong. Do you know him? ”
“Oh, no. ”
“Even if you're not here, there are plenty of places to work, so stop and look elsewhere. ”
I took out my wallet and handed him two checks.
2 million won. It was equal to three months' salary at that time.
Even though I was pushed like food.
“I want you to live with this for a while and look elsewhere. ”
“Thank you. ”
The young man looked at the boss and received it.
I wish I had this luck in the past.
The sleepless nights at the prison.
I have had this conversation with the brothers and sisters.
People wonder if the once-in-a-lifetime ‘good fortune’ will come to us.
What have I done wrong in my past life that's what I look like?
The laughter is full of mischievous energy.
Just once, just once, I want a moment to change my life.
“If you want pizza, you have to buy it. Don't starve.”
I left the store smiling.
I don't know what choice the young man will make, but I want to take advantage of that opportunity.
Back in the day, I knew how big every choice was.
“I spent money unexpectedly. ”
I searched my wallet for no reason.
It doesn't really matter.
It was a little bit more than the budget.
You can sell the expensive items in the room if you want.
That's the real deal, by the way.
The guy who couldn't buy a snack at the prison wrote me a check.
I walked to the side of the road where Director Kim was waiting.
At that time,
“Ugh!”
I heard a scream like a terminal somewhere.
Sounds like a vision that vanishes.
I looked around, but I couldn't find anything.
The red houses were dense, but surprisingly quiet.
“Where's everything going? ”
I wandered the alley looking for the source of the scream.
A yellow light flashes through the broken streetlight.
Hmm. Did I hear wrong?
When I looked at the watch, the hour I had promised with Director Kim was over.
As soon as I try to turn around,
“Woof.”
You hear the sound of pain swallowing.
Something felt strange.
A half-opened window caught my eye.
The evening air was cold and all the other houses were closed.
I approached the house just in case.
Dongdongdongdong
“Excuse me.”
I rang the doorbell, but I couldn't hear anyone.
I think I'm feeling a little popular.
The front door was open, wasn't it?
I opened the door and stopped trying to get in.
“Ban Min-soo. Wake up. ”
Twenty years ago, we were still caught in the crossfire.
How can there be no learning?
It was time for me to resign and turn around.
“Save me. ”
I'm sure.
The voice of a crying woman.
It was definitely not a hallucination or an illusion.
I hesitated and kicked down the front door.
Choo-choo!
A rusty iron door rattles and makes a loud noise.
I put the pizza on the ledge and picked up the broom.
I've been rolling with criminals half my life, but I'm scared.
“Excuse me.”
Moreover, I am Goji Hoon, who used to be a dungeon keeper, not Ban Min Soo who rolled in the prison.
“You're in here, right? ”
Silence.
Something creeps through the opaque glass at the front door.
And then I stopped at the front door.
Mysterious shadows and I remain motionless between the doors.
Under tension, I raise my hand to the handle.
Kuang!
“Ow!”
Then the door fluttered and hit my face.
A man strikes first at a pace.
The man in the black hat pushed me and ran away.
I grabbed him by the ankle while he was falling.
Wudang Tang!
The man rolls down the stairs with the catchers.
The flowerpot standing in line breaks as it collapses.
“Ugh, that hurts. ”
I stood up rubbing my dull chin.
“Ugh · · · · · · · ·"
The man grabs his right wrist to see if he fell wrong.
Black hat, black mask. And dark-eyed twins.
Somewhere familiar.
“What are you? Are you a thief?”
Instead of answering, the man threw the object away as soon as it was in his hands.
A sharp piece of potted plant and dirt flew to your face.
“Tsk!”
The man who ran away when I covered his face.
A staircase that became a mess.
There seems to be a storm.
In the midst of all this commotion, no one in the neighbourhood shows their faces.
After I regained consciousness, I pushed my head toward the dark house.
“Hey, anybody home? ”
I can't hear anything inside.
“Coming in! I said it clearly. ”
The front door and kitchen were right next to each other, and inside there was a small room.
A woman falls to the ground facedown.
“You okay?"
The left side of your face is swollen red, and you have thin blood on your neck.
Probably scratched when he was holding his weapon to his neck.
The clothesline was broken, but I don't think anything bigger happened.
I grabbed my phone while stuttering.
“Listen, I'm calling the police. What's the address here? ”
“· · · · · · · · · ”
“Yes?”
“Police, don't call me. ”
A woman took my phone from me.
What are you talking about when your hands are shaking?
“We should report it. ”
The woman's eyes were sharp.
Eyes stained with tears but filled with hostility.
Why are you doing this to me? I'm the one who helped you.
The woman closes the window as if to stand up and look.
Lock it up.
“Okay? Don't worry, I'll keep you posted. ”
Have you seen this shit?
I stood up, my hands clenched.
Earlier, I fell and messed up with my wounds and dust.
What an honor.
“Yes, well done. But I'm going to tell the police. I don't know what's going on, but if you get another victim like this, you're responsible. ”
A woman flinched at my words.
Then I burst into tears.
Someone who didn't cry when he was hurt.
“Someone thinks I'm ringing. ”
“I'm sorry, but the police really..."
At this point, I'm beginning to wonder beyond understanding.
But I don't think it's easy to tell from the atmosphere.
I sighed, frowning.
“Then I'll just say that I saw a suspicious person. That's okay, right? ”
“· · Thank you. ”
The woman whispered to my back a little.
What's his story, Circle?
I left the house robbing my hands.
A cutter knife fell down the stairs.
Did he just drop out?
“Cutter knife. Rusty cutter knife. ”
I suddenly remembered the case of Suan Valbari.
Impressions are similar, and above all, this knife.
The weapon he was carrying was a cutter knife.
“Huff!”
I ran as fast as I could outside.
How did you meet Suan Valbari like this?
But he was already gone like a ghost.
The alley itself was empty.
Like an abandoned city.
I don't see any functioning closed circuits, not even humans.
A month's worth of space was caused by an injury! '
As soon as the wrist is healed, the attack will begin again.
I put the cutter knife in my pocket and returned to the car.
Director Kim was sitting in the driver's seat drinking coffee.
“It's been over an hour. ”
“Let's go to the Xu 'an Police Station right now. ”
“Police station? Suddenly? ”
Director Kim looked at me in the rearview mirror.
“What's that face? Did you fight?”
“That's not it. Let's go. It's urgent.”
“But, Young Master, ”
“Why?”
“I heard you were coming to buy pizza. ”
"All right, let's get going."
If you bring this, the investigation won't be making any progress.
Right now, the key to solving this case is to find out who owns the DNA.
But the evidence is out in front of me, and I can't ignore it.
I have someone I need to meet at the Xuan Police Station.
And I'm the one who catches the Valerie anyway.
