Villain Detective is a Chaebol

Chapter 9

Cell phone tracking warrant?

It was around the time Police Officer Kim found the cell phone in a park outside Hoseon District.

Hyunsoo, who came out of the interrogation room, turned and headed to the office of the team leader of the Major Crime Investigation Team 1.

And after a long conversation with Team Leader Heo Insung, a request was made.

Yes. A tracking warrant for a cell phone under Park Seokhyun's name.

No, the cell phone Park Seokhyun gave one himself, and didn't Police Officer Kim say he found another one somewhere in a park?

That's true.

So why? We already have two phones in our hands.

Team Leader Heo Insung shook his head.

Eyy, don't tell me he has three cell phones.

What I'm looking for may not have been found in the park.

What are you talking about?

I thought he dumped it in the park to buy time If that was expected from the head of the district's side.

This was the most important piece of evidence that includes Park Seokhyun's sexual assault and murder charges. He wouldn't have hidden it so that it would be easy to find.

Hyunsoo continued.

Anyway, I'd like a cell phone tracking warrant first.

All right, that's not a big deal. But. As I said before, there is a 99% chance that the arrest warrant will be dismissed. You know.

Looking at Team Leader Heo Insung, Hyunsoo smirked.

I know.

* * *

What, what's with this cell phone!!

Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency parking lot.

Standing in front of the trunk with the broken window, Lawyer Baek Jin raised his voice while looking at Hyunsoo. His eyes were fixed on the cell phone in Hyunsoo's hand.

What does this have to do with the trial!!

This will confirm the murder charge I spoke of last time.

!

As you know, many things have been filmed and recorded.

F*ck.

Lawyer Baek Jin chewed his lips and his face was distorted.

Then when he was trying to think with his blank mind somehow, Park Seokhyun, who was in the passenger seat, got off.

What's going on?

Park Seokhyun's eyes widened when he saw the broken trunk.

Hyunsoo slowly approached him.

Park Seokhyun, remember clearly what you said.

Pardon?

Even if she dies, it's never our fault.

These were the last words he heard as scenes of the incident flashed through his mind. It was what Park Seokhyun said at the end of the recording of the victim's sexual assault video.

At Hyunsoo's words, Park Seokhyun was horrified as if he had seen a ghost.

When you left the room with a recorded video of the victim, you knew. You must have known what would happen to the victim because you forced her to drink alcohol when she had never even had a drink.

H, hey, Lawyer Baek! What, what is this police saying to me now!

So you're not just a rapist. A scumbag rapist and murderer.

Confused, Park Seokhyun looked at Lawyer Baek Jin, but Lawyer Baek also glared at Hyunsoo as if he was going to kill him, but there was nothing he could do.

Then let's get going. The arrest warrant has been dismissed. Ah, and it won't work even if you work hard at the prosecution with the Daesang Law Firms connections. Because the evidence is so clear.

You.

Lawyer Baek Jin called Hyunsoo with a voice full of murderous intent.

Just wait there. This trunk is broken, I can't let it slide. Whatever I do or whatever I sue, I'll never let you off the hook.

Crazy-looking eyes.

As Hyunsoo nodded leisurely, Lawyer Baek Jin clenched his teeth and got into the car.

The car with Park Seokhyun and Lawyer Baek Jin left. And when he looked behind through the rearview mirror, Hyunsoo was shaking off the glass powder on his clothes.

That crazy guy.

At that time, the corner of the parking lot.

Team Leader Heo Insung, who was watching the situation from behind, shook his head.

How is that punk going to wrap up. No, wait There's no reason for me to worry about him, is there?

In this case, they only helped each other because they had the head of the district as the same enemy. Hyunsoo was the guy who had been trying to uncover his corruption.

Since it's like this.

Once the situation with the head of the district was sorted out again, Hyunsoo was sure to get in his way again like an eyesore as he was.

Team Leader Heo's eyes sparkled as he rubbed his chin and rolled his eyes.

Yah, are you really not thinking about the aftermath?

After a while.

Team Leader Heo, who was cooking up petty tricks, approached Hyunsoo with a worried face.

Hyunsoo held up Park Seokhyuns cell phone toward Heo Insung, who was spitting words mixed with sighs.

Ah, yes I'm glad you found the cell phone with evidence.

As long as I did well. In that urgent moment, I can't catch the criminal if I reconsider with the intention of dealing with the aftermath.

Yes I forgot that you are really the extreme villain in the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency..

Team Leader Heo Insung shook his head.

No, but it's amazing that you found out that the cell phone he threw away in the park was a fake, but how did you know that the real thing would be in the lawyer's car? Even after tracking it, it only says that it is inside the police station, but you couldn't know the exact location because of the margin of error.

It's obvious.

How can it be obvious?

He's insecure enough to hide a fake in the park, so where'd he put the real thing? He wouldn't have given it to a kid like Park Seokhyun, and no matter how brave he was, he wouldn't have brought it into the police station, so I thought it was somewhere in the car.

Team Leader Heo Insung narrowed his eyes as he saw Hyunsoo talking casually.

I knew you were smart but Are you secretly trained somewhere?

What training? Im just that great.

Team Leader Heo Insung made an absurd face at Hyunsoos brazen expression and shook his head.

Ha, But that lawyer is also really unlucky, getting caught by a nutcase like you. But the lawyer must have tried to take the cell phone far away and destroy it after releasing Park Seokhyun, right?

That could happen Or he could have been holding it as a weakness of the head of the district.

Eyy, no way. They're on the same side.

I'm also holding up Team Leader-nim weaknesses though? Although we're on the same side now.

What, what?

Forming collusion and corruption with criminals.

Hyunsoo smiled brightly as he looked into the widened eyes of Team Leader Heo Insung.

This, this crazy.

Wasn't Team Leader-nim also looking for my weaknesses unconsciously?

It was when the embarrassed Team Leader Heo Insung's face was turning red.

Police Officer Kim approached them at that time.

De, Detective-nim! Are you all right?

Uh, now.

Hyunsoo handed over the cell phone to Police Officer Kim.

This, this is Did you find it?

A quick forensic please.

I understand!

Ah, and Police Officer Kim, what did you say your name was?

Pardon? Ah, Im Police Officer Kim Yoojoon!

Hyunsoo put his hand on the shoulder of Police Officer Kim Yoojoon, who saluted.

Yes, Police Officer Kim Yoojoon. The first team play was very fun. Then I'll go get some rest.

* * *

Major Crime Investigation Team 1 after passing a storm.

Team Leader Heo Insung sighed in relief as he sat in the team leaders office.

There was clear evidence to prove Park Seokhyun's murder charge, and the head of the district would soon collapse. He lost a precious connection with the head of the district, but.

Still, I'm glad its over. Now, the only thing left to do is to send Lee Hyunsoo away.

With a smile on his lips, Team Leader Heo Insung quickly took out his cell phone and called someone.

Deputy Chief-nim, have you heard the news? Ah Youve heard it. I'm ashamed of myself. My negligence is big because its a member of my team. So I'm thinking about opening a disciplinary committee to scold Inspector Lee this time.

It was then.

Where is that bastard Lee Hyunsoo?!!

Team Leader Heo Insung jumped up at a shout from outside the team leader's office.

Im, Im sorry. I'll call you right back.

Team Leader Heo hurriedly hung up the phone and headed straight for the door.

Where are you?! What kind of police are you hiding like that!

Look here! You're at the police station! What are you doing?!

So what if this is the police station?! Im a lawyer!

Team Leader Heo Insung opened the door.

What? Whats going on?

The one causing a commotion was a familiar young man.

You're the team leader of the Major Crime Investigation team, right?

It was Lawyer Baek Jin, the same lawyer who was in charge of defending Park Seokhyun.

He approached Team Leader Heo Insung with strides, and his eyes flashed.

Where's Inspector Lee Hyunsoo?

* * *

By the way, Detective-nim, you only drink caffe latte every day?

Hyunsoo was talking to a barista with bobbed hair at a cafe in front of the police station.

Looking quite close to Hyunsoo, she handed Hyunsoo a cup of coffee with a light smile.

Americano is bitter and doesn't suit my taste. Jiyeon-ssi*, what kind of coffee do you like?

I prefer chocolate over coffee.

It was then.

The cafe door slammed open! As it opened, Lawyer Baek Jin came in with a huff.

Uh? You're here again.

Hyunsoo, who had a straw in his mouth, smiled slyly and headed to the corner as if he expected Lawyer Baek Jin to come.

I told you to wait.

Lawyer Baek Jin, who found Hyunsoo, strode to Hyunsoo's table. Hyunsoo smiled at him.

Is there anything you need to do to me?

This is it, come now!

Lawyer Baek Jin, who was angry, sat quietly in front of Hyunsoo, looking around.

Ha! You're scared, aren't you? To the point where you want to forget what happened earlier. Now youre playing dumb.

Earlier? Ah, breaking the trunk?

Yes! That!

Lawyer Baek Jin put Park Seokhyun down in front of the district office and immediately headed to Daesang Law Firm. Then, he immediately filed a complaint after leaving behind his colleagues asking about the situation, asking what happened.

I'll tell you how scary a lawyer is.

Lawyer Baek Jin was a lawyer specializing in criminal cases, but a lawyer is still a lawyer.

He thought he knew better about the law than Hyunsoo.

What they did every day was mapping out their customers to get around the law. Ruining a person's life by extorting a lot of settlement money through a civil lawsuit was nothing.

Let's see what he can do as a police officer.

With the Park Seokhyun case on the verge of being overturned, he needed at least something to vent his anger on. So he rushed to the police station excitedly at the thought of smashing Hyun-soo's smirking face.

However.

What the hell is with this bastard?

Hyunsoo was more relaxed than he had thought. He sipped his coffee and looked at him as if it was nothing special.

You, Lee-ssi Let's see how long you're so relaxed.

Lawyer Baek Jin took out the complaint form from his briefcase and put it on the table.

Acomplaint? Ah, you're going to sue me?

Why? Are you scared now? I'm a lawyer at the Daesang Law Firm. You touched the wrong person. I'm not going to leave you alone. I'll bet everything on property damage, intimidation, and defamation to make you penniless.

Hyunsoo looked at the complaint quietly.

Lawyer Baek Jin, who saw that, thought Hyunsoo was scared.

Since this happened, it was when he wanted to see Hyunsoo begging, and he was trying to intimidate him more.

Pft!

?

Hyunsoo, who suddenly covered his mouth, burst out laughing.

Hahahaha!!

Hyunsoo bursts into unexpected laughter. Lawyer Baek Jin looked at him enraptured.

This, this is crazy.

Look here, Lawyer Baek.

Hyunsoo, who erased the smile from his face in an instant, looked at Baek Jin.

Are you really, ignorant or, fearless?
