The Reincarnated Cop Who Strikes With Wealth

EP113. Exhibition by John Pollen

“Wow, I'm so busy in the morning. ”

Blacks spit out elasticity as they take in cold water. The tide comes in like a tidal wave, because the petty thief was literally on the move. I think it's because there are more houses with windows open because of the summer.

“I'm going to the exhibition with my girlfriend this weekend, but I'm not sure if I can make it. ”

I blinked at Mongdu's sigh.

“John, what is it? ”

“John Pollen. The one I showed you on television. ”

John Pollen, a top 10 artist to watch. His inner news was hot enough for me, an outsider. But the world of art is so hard and far away that I don't know if he's so great. Blacks also scratched my stomach.

“Is that painter that great? ”

“I don't know, I'm the last to see it, but I think it's great to see someone I know. If it's cold, it's an opportunity, and we'll see. ”

Less than 10 minutes after lunch. Mongdu sat at his desk and rewrote the pushed statement. I would have stopped you the other day, but not today. I also turned the monitor on while sitting in my seat. Blackie left the office saying he was going to an interrogation.

Jiaying! Jiaying!

“Yes, I got the call. ”

I answered the phone without even checking the sender. It's because I think it's obvious that you should contact me on my mobile phone. There's a 90% chance he'll be Chief Kim. However, the voice on the phone was a strange figure.

Are you busy?

“· · · · · · · · · Mother? ”

I almost said "Lady Im Sook." I hurriedly shut up and stopped hitting the keyboard.

“No, thanks. ”

Looks like you're on duty. Let me make this simple. I'd like you to have some time this weekend. A very special guest from a foreign country.

“· · Did a precious guest want to see me? ”

I tilted my head in vain. He's worth seeing in a foreign country. Im Sook was silent for a moment and opened his mouth again. It was an orchid-like elegant voice.

John Pollen.

Wow. He's not the artist I was just talking about. I asked again with a more curious tone.

“What about him? ”

The exhibition of John Pollen takes place in our gallery. But there's a problem. I'd like you to meet me and discuss the details.

The woman who reduces her words. I nodded, checking the calendar. It was a holiday this weekend. After I answered yes to her, I hung up.

* * *

Seoul's Artplex was a complex cultural space the size of a football field. A one-stop shop for movies, plays, exhibitions, and more. I walked into the high gallery zone and looked up at the ceiling.

‘Fantastic.'

A transparent domed ceiling. A large print of John Pollen's face was hung all over the place. The main work of this exhibition, Puppies and Girls, was also lined up.

“Young Master!”

As I entered the gallery, Director Kim who was standing at the entrance called me. People who look back at me because they say you're a young master. I grabbed him pretending not to know.

“What if I say it out loud? ”

“Haha. Sorry. You can't hear me because it's too loud. Let's go this way.Your wife will be here first. ”

I followed his instructions into the reception room inside the gallery. A woman standing at the door. The short, clean skin was impressive. The woman in the suit bowed her head to me.

“Hello, Master Gu Ji-hoon. ”

“Oh · · Hi. But who are you?”

The woman introduced herself with a clear smile.

“This is Seoyejin. I've heard a lot about you. ”

“Yes. ”

I feel like I'm looking at a different place. A woman called Seojin knows me, but I don't know her at all. At that time, Chairman Kim stepped forward and made a strange face.

“I used to say I was very nice to you. ”

A proud yet embarrassed smile. It is the laughter of a man in love. I nodded, opening my mouth slightly. I just heard your girlfriend works as a curator, and I never thought I'd see her like this.

“Greetings. I look forward to seeing you again, Director Kim. ”

“Here's what I'm going to tell you. ”

I once again politely asked her to shake my hand. Seongjin grabbed my hand with a smile. Chairman Kim is pleased to see that. I don't know why, but I'm impressed.

“It's a dream to see the two closest people to me together. Ugh.”

“Hey, Chief Kim. Crying here doesn't help. ”

“I'm not crying. I was just moved. ”

I, Seojin, smiled and exchanged embarrassing gazes. This is the moment when the temperature difference between the two feels sharp. She led me away, leaving Director Kim sniffing. A letter confirming the watch on the wrist.

“I'm away for a while, but I have to get back out there. But this is your first time, so I'd like to show you around. ”

“Haha. It's an honor. ”

“Your wife and Mr. John Pollen are waiting inside. ”

“A group?”

“John Pollen is also a professor at Kane Art School. The Korean exhibition was scheduled this time, and he said he came in with his Korean students. Guides and interpreters, etc. ”

We walked down a short corridor and had a little chat. Chief Kim chased after me with a handkerchief and wiped his face.

“Those students are hungry. It's like having a teacher's exhibition together. ”

“You can see it that way. which is a little bit sketchy when I see it. ”

“Yes?”

“We're here.”

The reception room that arrived at the same time as my question.

Bloop.

Seo Yeojin opened the door and greeted politely.

“Hello?”

Miss Im Sook opened the door. She has a shiny head and a neat suit. In the hand of the coffee cup was a colorful egg jewel. Slightly more than usual. I bowed my head and greeted her.

“It's a little late. ”

The reception room was unified with a slightly darkened tone of color. A brightly lit sofa. Im Sook looked in front of him.

"Mr. John Pollen? “

I also followed her gaze to the side. Big and slender eyes. The green eyes move sharply. Of course I've never seen him before.

“Huh?"

However, the person standing behind John Pollen was surprisingly familiar. No, to be honest, I almost didn't recognize you. It was too different from before. The man opened his eyes and made a curious sound to see if he recognized me.

“Huh?"

“What are you doing here? ”

Lee Chul-yong, the young man who worked as a pizza delivery boy for me. But I went to the States with my help · · ·

“Oops.”

I have slapped my forehead and hated strange fates. This is how it got tangled up once. It was the last time I saw her at the hospital, but I have a rough idea why I'm here. A Korean apprentice brought from England.

“Do you know each other? ”

I hesitated over Im Sook's question. I didn't know if I should start talking at a pizza place my age or talk about Jo Tae-woo.

“The one who helped me learn art. ”

“Oh, really? ”

Lee Cheol-yong intervened and explained politely. She saw that I hesitated and took care of it.

“Haha. I dropped out of college ungratefully, but he allowed me to choose the art path. It gave me a chance to learn under Dr. John Pollen. ”

This woman smiled interestingly as she flowed between me and Lee Season. I don't know if that laugh is real or not. Lee Cheol-yong and I shared the same gaze. Once we're in the ground, let's get to the bottom of it. Then, John Pollen reached out to me.

“Good morning.”

It's Korean. His hands are full of gold rings and gorgeous jewelry.

“Hello, I'm Inspector Ko Ji-hoon. ”

Aha. There's a reason this woman is wearing makeup today. to match John Pollen's propensity. I don't know if he likes jewelry just as much as he likes it, or he cares about it materially. Anyway, he was angry because he was a guest from a foreign country. You're a no-good businessman at this rate.

“Nice to meet you. Do not think hard about me. ”

John Pollen said something to me in an arrogant brawl. In this room, everyone but me seems to understand him. Director Kim stepped in and interpreted his words.

“Nice to meet you. Well, he said make yourself comfortable. ”

A few times, he also left Director Kim behind. I sat on the couch and looked at Lady Im Sook.

“So, Mother. I think there's a reason John Pollen wanted to see me. ”

My urge to get to the point quickly, Im Sook put down the cup of coffee.

“It's very meaningful for John Pollen to hold his own exhibition in our high gallery. I've never seen anything like it. ”

“Congratulations."

“Recently, John Pollen's popularity has soared to the skies. That's why we keep getting into trouble around here. I'm running out of time and spirit to do art. ”

Im Sook finished saying that and sent him a shallow greeting. Lee Cheol-yong whispers something in his ear, looking at the atmosphere. It would have been translated into a moderately filtered metabolism.

“What if it's a problem? ”

“Did you know that John Pollen had been stolen before? ”

“Freeze.”

I remembered what it said in the episode program. She raised her eyebrows as if surprised.

“In honor of this exhibition, John Pollen has decided to stay in Korea for almost a month and work. Instead of being fully supported by our highlights, the next exhibition is open exclusively. ”

Art. Pure territory, but at the same time business acumen. I drank tea listening to her.

“But there were two pieces missing from the bathroom. ”

“Yes?”

“Of course, it's not a painting for this exhibition, it's not a contract painting. According to John Pollen, one is unfinished until it's painted. One is called the Decease. ”

I looked at John Pollen. Foreigners with blue eyes. He listened to Lee Cheol-yong as he listened to the translator and touched his head like it was a headache.

“Did you call me to find it? ”

“No. We contacted the authorities and took action. It's already happened, and it's common opinion that John Pollen and we don't want to make things big. ”

“Really?"

In my question, Im Sook looked at Lee Chul Yong. He places a small note on the table when he receives the signal. I looked at them and picked up the paper. White cards. And computer-typed messages.

“I don't know if it was someone who stole the art or if it was someone playing a prank. ”

“Phew!”

The moment I read the contents of the paper, I spit out the car that was in my mouth. It should be a warning. It was written that he was going to steal his masterpiece "Puppies and Girls." And a very, very familiar initials stamp.

“· · Mad bastard. It was the same then and now. ”

“What?"

Lady Im Sook frowns at the muttering of my profanity.

“No, it's not. ”

“Normally, of course, you'd think it was a ridiculous prank. But I couldn't overlook the fact that two pieces were stolen in the bathroom. ”

“Of course you are. ”

“But John Pollen specifically asked me to know that my · · · son is a cop. I want eyes on the case. If you don't mind, I'd like to file a formal case on the Draft Book. Including the one that was already stolen. ”

Im Sook barely put the word "son" in his mouth. I wipe around my mouth and nod.

“Of course. You'll have to bring me in to catch him. ”

The initials written on the bottom of the note. HS.
