EP118. Future Maestro

“Gaaaah!”

“Well, what the hell. Are you crazy?"

“Oh, my God. Is anybody there? ”

People scream in panic. I want to stop them right now, but I can't get close to them because I'm holding a knife. John Pollen opens his mouth and drops his hands.

“What the hell is this? ”

“Ko Ji-hoon!”

Even Lady Im Sook who was watching me from afar ran with her eyes turned upside down. Seeing her reaction, everyone around her takes a step back to see if she was more surprised.

“Shh. Your blood pressure must be rising. ”

I shuddered at them again, wielding my knife vigorously. The sensation of the canvas cloth stiffened with emulsification felt with the tip.

Boo, boo, boo!

A picture of a tearing mane with a cool sound. Colorful paintings were carved and laid out on the floor. Lady Im Sook with her confused head and John Pollen jumping at me.

“Stop, sir. It's dangerous."

“Stop it. Police, call the police! ”

His disciples and steps stop John Pollen from approaching me.

“Do you know how much that is? ”

Her new voice sounded like it was torn. I nodded with confidence.

“Of course, it's a million dollars. ”

“What?"

Lady with a face that doesn't make sense. I left her alone and put the knife on the table. Then he raised his hand to the student holding the microphone.

“Translate. I tore it up completely. What did you think?" ”

The student hesitated and whispered to John Pollen. The red flag is rising. He shouted at me like a heavy drink.

“Ha, Korea is really disappointed. How could you do this? He's going to the police, and he's going to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to formally protest. ”

“Ah, there's no need for that. Tell him that the gallery is more disappointing. I laid out the mattress, and the trickster came and blurred the water. ”

The public was shaken by what I said. I have no idea what's going on.

“We have a report. Mr. John Pollen. You said you were great.”

“What? Great? ”

“Did I just hear that right? ”

“Hey, what's going on? ”

My bomb declaration changed people's faces. John Pollen also opens his eyes wide as soon as he hears the translator. As if I knew how. And I looked around to see if I could think of anything. I'm looking for Choi Yeon-seo.

“Young Seo Choi is being investigated at the police station. Investigation and protection, to be precise. At first, you said it was inspired by her sketches. ”

However, shortly after, the nature of the inspiration mixed up. It is because whose idea was the beginning, and whose brushing was followed where.

“And as a teacher, she was increasingly taking on a lot of responsibility. ”

“Are you crazy? ”

“Things are gonna get so big. Like now.”

John Pollen gestures as if he absolutely did not. The student who was listening next to me also panicked and missed the microphone. I had no choice but to catch it instead.

“Teacher John says it's a fraud now, and if he disseminates false facts, he will also be held accountable. · · · Students often follow their own style when teaching, but they seem to misunderstand it. ”

I nod, smiling. I knew there'd be an excuse for that. I clap my hands and send a signal to those waiting outside.

“Well, what is it? ”

stacked on a white cloth, just like John Pollen first appeared. The person who moved it was Lee Cheolyong and Seojin.

“Well, let's see. ”

Chaak

I said as I gently rolled the cloth away. Then, there was a picture just like the new one that had never been seen.

“What I tore up before was a hoax I paid a fence to get. I drew it in a hurry. He said he was sorry for making a lot of mistakes. How could the painter not recognize it? ”

He paused and listened to Chief Kim's interpretation. This is what I asked Seo Yeojin and Lee Chul-yong. Replacing it with a mockup at the right time. Lee Cheol-yong is always next to John. And it was something only curators who managed the work as a whole could do.

“Don't make excuses for 'I didn't see it right’. Okay?”

It was John Pollen who clapped his mouth to my gesture of making circles. I clapped my hands and ventilated my surroundings.

“Now, should John Pollen put the phone in the diplomatic department and go to the police station? ”

Then I took the handcuffs out of my pocket and shook them at him. The guy raises his palm like he can't even kick it. I shrugged my shoulders and grabbed his collar. The elegant party of the night was stopped with such chaos.

* * *

The team leader turns the ballpoint pen slowly and looks through the paperwork. A busy office where Saturn and John Pollen overlap simultaneously. He narrows his eyes and shares the role.

“Let's see. Let's see. A petty thief, no. We can finalize the case with theft and vandalism. Do you want the blink? ”

“It's not bad to wrap up, but if it is, you can take it out of the Youngest Survey. I don't have enough two bodies. ”

“Son of a bitch. He confessed to everything. He's a perpetrator. He doesn't need any evidence. What's so hard about it? ”

“The more I talk to him, the more I hear about the crimes I've shouted before. I've already blown seven times. Crazy bastard.”

The blackout shook my head. That's a relief. Arrested early will reduce your sentence by less than half compared to your previous life.

“Then I'll take care of Saturn. ”

“Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you. ”

“How are things going with Youngest and John Pollen? ”

Mongdu raises his hand as he asks. Like a class president presenting in class.

“I'm at a disagreement right now. They copied each other's paintings. But all the other evidence seems to be invalid, and fortunately, there are still a few characters left. I don't think there's a big problem with a masterpiece. ”

“Then what's the problem? ”

“If you know that Choi Young Seo is also a masterpiece, you are committing fraud. This is a bit interpretative. The pressure of John Pollen, the industry's maestro, is likely to be extenuating circumstances. ”

“At what cost?"

“There's a little bit less output than input. The cost of living in the dorm and the food. ”

“Did it go well? I won't disadvantage you in court. ”

“I think I can put it on the labor laws. It's too little time and effort. Well, that's one paragraph for fraud. ”

Mongdu's jaywalking back and forth. Mechanically moving hands and mouth. We nod, saying yes.

“So how do I post the theft of a painting?

The team leader shook his hand roughly on my question.

“No charges. We have to file a complaint and send a transmission. Let's finish that last speech. ”

“Yes, I understand. ”

“And Mongdu and Blackie, take care of the story with John Pollen. ”

There is definitely one case, but there are three documents to be written. We drank coffee like a potion and blew the night black and white.

* * *

And then a few days later.

I opened my eyes by the noise. I got up off the couch with a heavy body. Blacks and nightshades sitting by the window.

“Are you up?”

“What time? I'll wake you up.”

I checked the watch with my less open eyes. Time to skip lunch. It was only after sunrise that I fell asleep, so I didn't feel tired.

“That's it. We're just finishing up. ”

“By the way, why is it so noisy · · · ah John Pollen is returning today? ”

The British Embassy wanted John Pollen returned to its home country for trial. Seeing that the artists representing the country seemed cautious in many ways.

“What about Choi Yeon Seo?”

“Thirty minutes later, we're out of time. ”

She will also be tried in England as a party to the case. But according to international lawyers, we expect a positive outcome. I looked down at the gate that looked like ants.

“John Pollen! Just one word!”

“Don't push! ”

“Flash! Flash in the eye! ”

Reporters argued in front of each other and took pictures of John Pollen. A blue-eyed foreigner was hurling a hard crowd with a stiff face. Mongdu smiled as he applied it.

“Phone comfort, by the way. ”

Unlike the concerns of the clergy, it was more positive than the taunts and ridicules coming to the high-light gallery. It's because of the fact that John Pollen has exhibited in eight countries with the youngest book.

“Korean police say it's strange. No one in the other country noticed. How did you know? ”

“John Pollen, when he goes to another country, he only votes for the students in that country, and the youngest person is stuck everywhere. It's really weird that no one noticed anything weird. ”

It was out of interest to mention the high-light gallery because of this view. John Pollen bowed and took a camera shower. Behind the scenes of driving an old barn car to the airport. I stood up with a slight slap on the cheek.

Jiaying

“Yes, hello. ”

Young Master, do you mind if I speak to you?

I walked out of the office to the waiting room. Whether it's the return of John Pollen, the inside of the police station is as quiet as an empty void.

“Go ahead.”

Why did you say that to your wife at the party last time?

“What do you mean? ”

You said you wanted to buy John Pollen.

I spit out a little elasticity as if I could remember.

She keeps asking me when she's going to buy it. Haha.You said the price would stay the same.

“By the way, he's a businessman. ”

I texted you a picture earlier and you didn't reply, so I called you directly. How · · ·?

The couch next to the jail. I can see the youngest person sitting quietly reading a book. She raised her head when she heard my popularity. Time until repatriation. I asked Director Kim for his patience.

“Wait, I'll call you in five minutes. ”

Choi Hyuk shrugged his shoulders and laughed.

“Are you here to see me for the last time? ”

“Yes. John Pollen left first. My parents will be waiting for me in England. ”

“High. We got trouble. My mom's gonna flip. I've been studying paintings in a no-man 's-land, and it's been such a frenzy. ”

“I don't think I need to worry too much. ”

Choi bit his lip slightly and carefully asked.

“What about iron?”

“Iron Yong · · ·”

I took a few moments off. The expression of the youngest person who had ever been nervous was quite decent.

“I went to England first. He said he'd go take care of your dorm stuff. I'll see you when I get there. ”

My words melted the tension of the youngest as the ice melted. She sighs as she sweeps down her chest.

“Thank you.”

“Yes, you should be thankful. Because of you. Do you have any idea how much money you've lost? ”

“Uh, how much did you see? ”

“I have five drawings of John Pollen floating around. ”

“Five points? Do you have any drawings from the gallery? ”

Choi asked, surprised. Then he smiled quietly and whispered to me.

“Those paintings. Dr. John Pollen didn't touch anything. They're all my paintings. Suddenly, it became popular, and there was a shortage of work. ”

“Purely you? ”

“Totally.”

“So I paid a high price for your painting? ”

It was then.

Bloop.

“Inspector Ko Ji-hoon. Time to repatriate.”

Two cops came in with the door open. It's already time. Choi looked at me with a firm expression.

“Have a good one. One day they'll be much more expensive than John Pollen's. ”

“Oh. I'm glad to hear that. ”

“I'm telling you, half the praise that John Pollen heard was mine. Art. I'll do it right. I'll do it hard. Thank you so much for letting me name my painting. ”

Choi left the door under the police escort. I pressed the call button to call Director Kim.

“Chief Kim. the picture of my mother selling. Just buy it.”

Are you sure you're okay?

“Yes. Sometimes we invest in the future like this. Looking forward to the future of artists, that's quite a fun money play. ”

As the speakers left, the reporters who were gathered at the front gate began to scatter. I stopped by a nearby money gas house to pack some food and picked up a taxi. To meet the Hacienda in prison.

Jiaying

“Yes, sir. I'm on my way to the prison. I finish the paperwork, and he keeps getting into trouble. · ·”

And the first and last paintings that I invested in were worth twenty times what I bought from this woman in the future. Very, very far in the future.
