“What did I hear wrong? ”

The team leader said with his jaw crossed. A special group that actively collects my opinions and decides to investigate phone fraud. The main office sent down the data.

“I thought you said it was the beginning of the case. ”

“That's what I heard from Isara Pro. ”

The Team Leader and Blacksmith turn their backs on a stack of reports as tall as an adult's height. Mongdu smiled and moved it diligently.

“I've also heard that it's quite large. ”

Number of victims scattered in each area. Approximately a few hundred people were surpassing sheep. I can't believe you asked me to do this. Blackface stares at me with such a grumpy look.

“I'd rather stab him and beat him! Shit like this. And I'm not good with numbers. ”

“So we start the briefing? ”

“Yes, go ahead. Finish as soon as you get started. ”

The words of Mongdu hint at me. A paper filled with whiteboards. Mongdu, who had read the incident diary in advance, slowly began to explain the summary of the incident.

“Well, first of all, it's a phone-size scam, but it's categorized into four categories. ”

“Four branches? ”

“Roof, water purifier, real estate, new material development. ”

“What about the development of new materials? ”

“It was different back then, the most recent thing · ·. They make absolutely decaying vinyl. It's a serious environmental problem these days. ”

“New to the environment from the ceiling. ”

Wait, rotting vinyl? This is a product that's actually being made in the future. For the first time in Korea. However, it quickly moves on to the next, as if it is not important to the team members. Well, it doesn't matter whether you make vinyl or plastic now.

“Anyway, this is a fraudulent group that attracts investors and then steals money. ”

“A group means everyone is involved? ”

“Yes, according to the headquarters. Central region water purifier. This is a multi-level hawker. In his name's account, we found that a portion of the proceeds went to Han Kyu-ik, a real estate speculator. ”

In accordance with Mongdu's words, we quickly handed over the report. These two have already been captured and left with a mug shot. He looks like a senior executive somewhere, he's so distant from his face.

“Good. If we catch these guys, the rest of them will be too short, right?" ”

At the words of the blink, Mongdu picks up a marker and draws a branch. Branching, branching. And I circle around one of them.

“This is the location of the two. ”

“A branch?”

“Their tricks suck. ”

Often used to be called multi-level and organized gangsters. People bring someone down below, they bring someone down below.

“Typical phone scams often attract investors because of their recruiting initiatives, but this time they have a mix of breeding methods. He said that if you bring in investors, you'll increase your investment interest rate. ”

“But Seo Jin-gon and who? ”

“Han Kyu-ik.”

“Yes. It's possible to catch them on top. They were both underneath someone eventually. ”

Mongdu flicks his fingers as if to turn over the page. Like a choir conductor. Two faces as soon as they handed over the paper.

“Huh?"

I don't know about one, but I'm familiar with one. It used to be the same prison.

“Jo Heerak.”

“What, you know the youngest? ”

Jo Hee Rak, a great con man who was also called a businessman. He's been on the run for a long time, pulling people's money out of the country, dropping people off for Interpol. But he ended up in a Korean prison in the end of the year.

‘It was like a real dog. ’

It has been quite some time since the old age and the date of the incident. He was sentenced to five years for imprisonment. It's a five-year prison for overseas living with hundreds of billions of dollars. I remember exchanging jokes with my colleagues because there was no business like that. Go to the reception room and eat, watch TV and get massaged. · ·

“No, I look like someone I know. ”

I started pretending not to know. If he was already out of the country, things would be happening a little sooner than in his past life.

“What's the estimated amount of damage? ”

“Five to hundreds of millions of won per person, at least. I think the harvest is a billion. ”

A billion. It's a lot of money, but not yet compared to the fraud group size and the joys I know. There are no more victims yet. He points out whether Mongdu and Telepathy worked or not.

“There must be a bunch of reports coming in. ”

“What's that supposed to mean? ”

“I gave out interest on investments on a monthly basis. But it didn't come in, so I got a report that something was wrong. ”

“That means it'll take more than a month for the victim to realize she's a victim? ”

“Yes. Interest may be well paid in other ways. So you don't know. I don't know if he was being scammed. ”

Yes, this has done more harm than good. Thanks to a one-month grace period, the chiefs and all the other scammers were scattered. Like a roach detecting a light.

“Jo Hee Rak · · ·. ”

But something's a little strange. In my past life, this guy was almost the leader. Why is he so spread out? And obviously the refuge was European and South American · · Why did he go to the Philippines?

“They will put a phone fraud warning on each city hall, city hall, and office, and if they think they are the victims, they will be asked to report them quickly. ”

The Team Leader folds his arms at the words of the Blacksmith. Slightly skeptical. I wonder if that's going to work.

“Well, do you have a better idea? ”

“No, it can't be. I didn't say anything? ”

“I did it at the main office, so just follow it. ”

“It looks like Jo Hee-rek is involved in real estate, and the water purifier is moving. Whoo-hoo! There are too many names. ”

“You two are together in the Philippines? ”

"Departure records show. ”

“Idiots. I missed it.”

Then my job, or our job, is to grab the rest of the branches. So by cutting the wire on Jo Jo Jo's overseas location.

Percussion

“That's it. It's clean. ”

I put down the ballpoint pen as if it were satisfactory. Now that you have outlined the case and the objectives, you should call it a satisfactory meeting. But the situation that came to us was not so clean.

* * *

“What kind of money is that? ”

“Hey, boss. Just calm down. ”

“Detective, why haven't you heard from us since we opened the case? Hey, I heard you guys already got the ceiling covered. Are you ignoring me for a small amount of damage? Whose dog's name is 10 million won? ”

“Ignore it. Never have. We haven't even cracked the ceiling yet. Sir, you can't touch that. ”

“Let go of me. I bought it for taxes, so I'll use it. ”

“Detective, where are you going? So, where did you find the guy who took all my money? ”

What a mess. What a mess. I stopped trying to get into the office. As soon as the incident was relocated, the victims sought out special forces to report it.

“Youngest!”

A blink that reaches out for my help. I turn around and walk out the hall, pretending I don't know. You hear the cry of the Blacksmith swallowing insults behind your back.

“That's why the head office handed you the case. ”

I went up to the roof and the team leader and Mongdu were smoking cigarettes. If so, why don't you go to the office by yourself?

“Whoo. Poor bastard. ”

“Shouldn't we go down there, too? ”

“No. You can sacrifice at least one. So I'm Tim. Let's get some chips on the way in. ”

“Something's not right. ”

“There's no end to pruning the branches. ”

We caught the perpetrators right above them, but they were also involved by someone else. The rate of climbing slowly could not bear the number of blown victims.

“It's like a weed. If you pull this out, it's over there. ”

“I thought I pulled it out, but the roots are stuck in the ground? ”

“That's right. That makes sense. ”

Mongdu and his team leader chat in pairs. Then I think it would be better to hit them from the beginning · ·. He is Jo Hee Rak's best friend and remains in Korea to take care of him.

‘Dammit. I'd better take a closer look. He's an old man. He just swears he doesn't care much. ’

I rummaged through my pockets to see if there was any candy left. Then, the rooftop door opens and a boy comes in. Between then and there, Atty was definitely naked.

“Mercenary.”

“Hello."

The best person to greet in uniform. Next to him was wisdom. The two of them look odd.

“What are you doing here? ”

“I came to see my brother. ”

“Me? Why me? ”

The merchant smiles at my question. Wisdom that stared at such a boy. It's dry, and it hits him in the back and greets me.

“You'd better show him that. ”

“What is it? What is it? Is wisdom so angry? ”

I blinked for a moment at the team members and took the children to the bench in the corner of the roof. The merchant opens his bag and takes out the Juju Island catalog. Why is this coming out of his bag? Wisdom screamed as if she didn't want to see it.

“Brother, he wants to work without going to high school. ”

“What?"

“No. Who's not going? I'm gonna give you a black notice. ”

Commercials talk defensively, but I don't understand it either. Why would you want to work at a healthy school? Wisdom whispered to me as if to release her anger.

“Are you out of your mind? I was in a frenzy selling the roof sheets to school teachers. Which of them?"

“Five for the principal. ”

“Yes! Five games. Principal to Principal, son to daughter, they all stand out, so the dealer's looking for them, and they're not a mess. ”

I put my forehead on the words of wisdom that swirled. I always wanted to go with a con artist, but I still did. She's talented, by the way.

“How did you sell it? ”

“The principal's knee hurt, so I took the principal's office downstairs. I wanted all of this.”

“You wanted all this, right? You're a fraud, fraud! ”

Wisdom beats the back of a merchant again. I know what it looks like.

“Why don't you go to school? ”

I asked, keeping the catalog aside for a while. However, the moment I said that out of my mouth, I remembered the position of the merchant who had forgotten. The child is irresponsible enough to call himself a house of bean powder, and the only brother he can rely on is a cult and incarcerated in a mental hospital.

“Do you want to work? ”

I carefully turned and asked. Do you need money? The merchant nods while he's in the well.

“Honestly, I'm wondering if you're going to be okay in high school, and I have a lot of thoughts. ”

“Die when you grow up. Why should I work now?" All we have to do is study. ”

In the words of wisdom, the common man only smiles strangely. If you grew up in a normal family like wisdom, you might not know it. But I understand. The situation when I had to work at a pizza place at a young age. I don't want to leave it like that for a merchant's life.

“Go to high school. College, if you want.”

“Haha. I knew you'd say that. ”

“I'm not kidding. It's a windmill. It's a school I founded in Highlight. Progress is that way. The boarding and support are all free, so you won't be burdened. ”

Wisdom grows pale in my words.

“Brother, I want to go that way, too. I want to go to the same school as the merchant. ”

Wisdom is the only one who can keep a potential con man at his side. I nodded lightly.

“Wisdom is graded, so it is possible. ”

Even the merchant has a smart head, so it shouldn't be too hard. I looked at the catalogue I had just put away.

“What the hell is this place, anyway? Do you want me to take this stuff off of her? ”

“I took an interactive ID. ”

“You're doing great. ”

“Speaking of which, would you like to buy a brother? ”

“You just said that the principal's relatives are all standouts. ”

“Oh, right. I shouldn't have said that.”

“Quit right now and get out of school. I'll contact Ji-hye. ”

Wisdom glitters in my words and nods loudly. Leave it to me. I kept staring at the dazed catalog. But when I see this · · · ·.

“Mongdu! Boss!”

I urgently summoned the two who were leaning against the ledge and smoking cigarettes.
