415.

[This morning, the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency Headquarters’ Detective Unit, Seocho Police Station’s Violent Crimes Unit, and the Central District Prosecutors’ Office’s Joint Investigation Unit announced the start of an investigation into a drug distribution organization that spread throughout Seoul. The court issued an arrest warrant for a member of the organization, Mr. J, who had failed to appear in court several times, and announced a statement that it would jump into the police and prosecutors’ investigation line and cooperate directly.]

At Kang Hyun’s request, the Central District Prosecutors’ Office’s Joint Investigation Department began to move.

Baek Hoon-sik had already informed the police at the scene, and Kang Hyeon-i was connected to the Joint Investigation Team as a hotspot, so it didn’t even take half a day to announce the start of the investigation to the press.

Separately, let’s look into the inside of such articles.

Most members of the Seocho Police Station’s violent crimes unit are also members of the Central District Prosecutors’ Office’s violent crimes investigation joint unit.

Therefore, if it were a general announcement, the announcement that ‘Seocho Police Station’s violent crimes unit and the Central Joint Investigation Department are starting a joint investigation’ would have had the meaning of ‘increasing numbers’ to intimidate the public.

The title suggests that around 200 to 300 people will be moving, but in reality, it means that at most 70 to 80 people from the police investigation team under the Joint Investigation Department will be moving.

But this incident was different.

The Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency Headquarters’ Martial Arts Unit joins the Seocho Police Station’s Violent Crimes Unit.

The Joint Investigation Team joined in, including the Central District Prosecutors’ Office’s investigation support team.

In addition, the court will be adding a team to arrest absent defendants in the 5th trial division.

It was not just 300 people, but it was probably close to 400 people.

The conference room of the Joint Chiefs of Staff’s water team.

Knock knock.

“Loyalty.”

“Chungseoung.”

“Haha! It’s been a while. It’s been a while. How have you been, Manager Kim, Manager Lee?”

“Oh, yes.”

“I hope Manager Hong is healthy too?”

The heads of the 1st and 2nd divisions of the National Police Agency’s Investigation Team opened the conference room door while making a fuss during a meeting hosted by the Joint Investigation Team.

If it was the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency’s Narcotics Investigation Unit, it was once a mess, after former Prosecutor Park Min-seong had beaten up and torn apart the rotten and corrupt Senior Inspector Ahn.

Nowadays, the ranks of section chiefs are filled by police officers who are clean, noble, relatively young, strong-willed, and yet successful and not lacking in anything.

The words that describe them sound good if you just listen to them, but they are sublimated in a slightly different way, so there is something a little strange about it.

It was even worse because I had such strong pride.

Even though he was a senior inspector for many years, they blatantly ignored Team Leader Hong, who could have been given the title of section chief in any third-grade police station.

“Oh my, the conference room is small.”

“Yes. Why did Kang Hyun call you, Manager?”

“Shall we get started right away?”

“Uh, uh. Okay. We should start the meeting.”

However, Team Leader Hong, conscious of the eyes of his juniors who were doing well, appeared after combing his hair. Unlike usual, he did not cough up phlegm or stick out his stomach or cross his legs on the table.

He sat there with a dignified look on his face, fully prepared to brief the details of this Kang Hyun Inspector Operation.

“Okay, let’s start the meeting. In this early case, a laptop used to access the ‘dark web’ has been confiscated. Based on this, we plan to trace back the buyer and catch him, and collect some circumstantial information and statements.”

“hmm.”

“…hmm?”

When I actually entered the meeting, their attitude became even more blatant.

Complaints, discontent, uncooperativeness.

“Manager. Isn’t Prosecutor Kang Hyeon coming?”

“I’m busy, but I still received all the information.”

“They’re not coming? Not a single person from the prosecution?”

“Huh? Huh. Aren’t I part of the Joint Chiefs of Staff?”

“Hey, team leader!”

In reality, Kang Hyun is moving around so frantically that his feet are on fire, but how do they know?

It was only a matter of time before Team Leader Hong’s position, which had been promoted to ‘Manager’, was demoted back to ‘Team Leader’.

“How much have you been ignored that you don’t care about this kind of ignore?”

“How much have you suffered and lived here until now?”

“What? Oh, no? That’s not it?”

“If the prosecutor called us in to personally direct the investigation, wouldn’t it be normal for us to at least show off our skills? Even if it’s Kang Hyun, it’s a bit much.”

“It’s always the case that the prosecution ignores the police, but this time it’s too much.”

Team Leader Hong was embarrassed by their harsh words and actions.

“Oh, no, I said it was a misunderstanding. Chief Kang is extremely busy right now. The chief of the joint investigation department is also running around busily…”

“So you’re saying that the team leader just sends us here and tells us the plan, and we have to do it ourselves?”

“It’s a step down.”

As expected, it wasn’t a comment for Team Leader Hong. Rather, it was an attempt to look down on himself and find fault with Kang Hyun.

“No, you guys, are you saying that I am the only one who feels inferior right now?”

“No, that’s not necessarily true. Look, we were treated like the youngest members of the mobile detective squad, ignored.”

“Oh my, this, this…”

“Team Leader. Tell Kang Hyun-han right away.”

“what?”

“I won’t cooperate with the investigation until you come here in person.”

“Oh my.”

He could only sigh in bewilderment now.

“There are a lot of reporters we know. Kang Hyun is famous for his media play, but we also don’t fall behind anywhere….”

“These kids?”

“yes?”

“What?”

“Hey, kid, there’s a cat wandering around in front of the window. I’ll see you later.”

“…?”

“Let’s keep talking while smoking.”

“Oh, I’m busy.”

“Okay, let’s get up.”

Team Leader Hong was about to swear, but he held it back dramatically and let out a sigh.

It was clear that he would have been like that before he came to his senses, being trampled and crawled on while following Kang-Hyeon around.

Now that he was on the verge of a promotion, the two young inspectors seemed to be a real pain in his eyes, as if he had almost completely changed from before.

On top of that, he even ignored his senior because he sided with the prosecution?

“Haa… Easy. You guys came here under investigation…”

If it was about 10 years ago, I could have at least fed him some honey, but the world has changed so much now that I can’t do anything.

At that moment, I closed my eyes tightly, looking back at my current self.

bang!

As the door opened loudly, a surprising guest entered the Gyeongsu team conference room.

“Whew. The weather is nice. Isn’t it?”

“…?”

“uh…?”

“What? Isn’t this meeting time? Where are you going, standing up and tapping your lighter like that?”

Of course, it wasn’t Kang Hyun. Kang Hyun’s trial department 5 had already formed a team with the court and was preparing to go to the scene.

It wasn’t even Kim Si-hwan, the head of the joint investigation team. He was so busy with a very important case of ex officio retrial that he couldn’t leave and was concentrating on the case.

However, the two young officers immediately recognized the person who had appeared.

I sat up straight, suddenly adjusting my slouched posture as if I was lost in thought.

“Chu, chu, chung… sung.”

It has been a long time since he appeared, but rumors of his ‘notoriety’ and ‘skill’ still linger in the Seoul area, and he has appeared like a dead person.

“Park, Prosecutor Park Min-seong?”

That’s right.

After Kang Hyun’s visit to Jeju Island, he briefly went up to Seoul to provide full support for this incident.

“Yes. I’m here to investigate a drug crime case. My name is Park Min-seong.”

And then, suddenly, hiding behind it.

There was Team Leader Hong, who smiled meaningfully, like a fox guarding a tiger.

* * *

Kang Hyun tied up the Gyeongsu team and the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency headquarters’ magic unit, and asked Park Min-seong to take command to fill in the gaps.

As promised in Jeju Island, he immediately boarded a plane and joined the Joint Chiefs of Staff as a dispatched employee.

This will be a great help in increasing the command power of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the National Intelligence Service.

Next, the court and the 5th division of the trial.

“Let me briefly explain the drug distribution method of this incident, which involved the use of the anonymous messenger ‘TeleK’ and the ‘dark web,’ also known as ‘Drop.’”

Under Kang Hyun’s direction, Park Lee Hyun, the person in charge of this incident, gathered the members and began to briefly explain the principles.

“First, the buyer accesses a site believed to be managed by Cho Ki-jun through the dark web and purchases illegal drugs.

Then, the early bird side shares the information with the ‘droppers’, and the droppers send a password that appears to be a combination of ordinary words to the buyer via ‘TeleK’.

The buyer verifies this and goes to the decryption site, where the seller divides the drugs into small portions and hides them somewhere, such as at the buyer’s home, workplace, or a nearby residential area.”

“And Jo Gi-jun leaves the items there through the ‘dropper’?”

“That’s right. That’s correct. We’ll catch the ‘droppers’ in the middle of the process. Usually, the droppers are just ‘part-timers’ who aren’t part of the organization, so it’s a very feasible operation.”

Not only do they catch the buyers, they catch the ‘guys’ who drop off the drugs.

These organizations are usually made up of ‘dot cells’, and the ones at the bottom are slow to download information.

There will be some who still haven’t come to their senses and fall into the trap in the not-so-distant future.

Kang Hyun was confident. Even if it was impossible to catch them all, it was definitely possible to catch one or two.

“Everything is ready. What should we do with the supplies?”

“I have identified several materials that are the raw materials for synthetic cigarettes. I made something similar with the help of the Joint Investigation Department’s field analysis lab.”

Baek Hoon-sik said, lifting up the bundle. With the on-site investigation support fund, he quickly bought some white rice powder, divided it into white packages, and wrapped it tightly with tape.

Until the on-site investigation operation was carried out with such rapid success, Jo Gi-jun’s domain site, which had started operating again on the ‘dark web’, remained quiet.

This was a little bit unsettling.

‘I don’t think they noticed we were moving, do they?’

For a moment, Jeong Da-yeong flashed through her mind, but she quickly came to her senses and turned her head at Park Yi-hyeon’s call.

“Boss! Okay!”

As soon as Park Hyun-ah opened the site together with several members of the Central District Prosecutors’ Office’s cyber investigation team.

There were about a dozen buyers who had inquired about it.

Rather, everyone who gathered in this situation could not help but be surprised by the anxiety that things would not go well.

“There are too many?”

A flood of orders and inquiries.

In response to Park Yi-hyeon’s question of what to do, Kang Hyeon answered simply.

“Don’t answer.”

“Oh. Is that okay?”

“Rather, wouldn’t it be more real?”

Do not respond to inquiries insincerely, and only purchase items that have been listed.

As is typical of black market vendors, they seemed to be surfing the site without any suspicion.

And then eventually.

“and.”

“One person paid. 10 grams. How many servings is that?”

“What a big guest.”

“I paid again! This guy also got 10 grams.”

Woohoo, the payment process has begun.

The entrapment investigation worked. The number of grams is small, but since the drug use was really small in the first place, the payment amount was significant.

Kang Hyun immediately turned his head to the court clerk.

“Chief, please.”

“Yes, I will look up your card number and obtain your personal information.”

Now that there are court staff, there is no need to go to the Joint Investigation Department’s Choi Tae-ri or the Central District Prosecutors’ Office’s Fund Tracing Team.

After about 20 minutes, the personal information came out right away, and as soon as Kang Hyun received it, he started marking the address on the map.

“Lee Jeong-i, 25 years old, from Bangbae-dong.”

“Personal information has come out again. This person is also from Bangbae-dong.”

A large number of people were caught within Seocho and Ganghyeon’s sight.

Well then, it’s time to take action.

“Let’s go.”

Woof woof.

As Kang Hyun got up and left his seat, a huge movement began, like soldiers following a general.

He immediately contacted another commander, Prosecutor Park Min-seong.

“Senior, we will join after confirming that there is no need to search outside. As I said, please distribute the personnel evenly starting from the outskirts of Seocho.”

-Good, junior.

Park Min-seong’s voice sounded refreshing, as if it had gained vitality after a long time.

“What about the car?”

“I’m ready.”

“Okay. Let’s go right away.”

Kim Si-hwan stepped forward to assist Kang Hyeon. The Joint Investigation Team members lined up behind him.

Kang Hyun planned the operation to shoot into the secured residence like a wedge and circle the entire area in a snail-like shape so that he could immediately find a buyer.

It seemed like everything would be okay. It was a hopeful beginning.

however.

Despite the launch of this massive investigation.

The results of that first sortie were astonishing.

‘…Failure? Why on earth?!’
