[Short-term dispatch irregular telegram]

In one short line, the content was as follows:

Jeju District Prosecutors’ Office Chief Prosecutor Park Min-seong.

Transfer to the Central District Prosecutors’ Office’s Joint Investigation Department. Period: 1 month.

The news spread in an instant. It had not even been half a day since the announcement was made.

-Manager Park Min-seong is coming?

-They’re already here.

-Wow, does a skilled person come back to life even after being demoted?

-I guess he’s trying to persuade me because he thinks the Central District Prosecutor’s Office is useful.

-No? What is the connection between the families?

-… Did you get caught?

The Central District Prosecutors’ Office was overturned again. Every day, new stories were created and then disappeared repeatedly.

He is someone.

At the political center of the Namyangju case, which once played a part in the complex relationship between the Central District Prosecutors’ Office and the Supreme Prosecutors’ Office,

A person who aroused everyone’s interest and was then demoted to Jeju.

‘Chief Prosecutor Park Min-seong.’

The fact that he signaled his return in such a short period of time.

The fact that this happened even before the name of the Central District Prosecutors’ Office was changed was something that aroused curiosity in any prosecutor.

Among the rumors floating around the world, there was one like this.

‘The Chief Prosecutor of the Central District Prosecutors’ Office was eventually caught off guard by Chief Prosecutor Park Min-seong.’

They were once antagonistic.

Although they were at odds for political reasons on the prosecution board, in reality they had a clean relationship. However, most people did not think of their relationship that way.

It’s a weakness.

Of course, it wasn’t what they thought, but in another sense, it was ‘right.’

Why?

There were simply two things.

Kang Hyun requested Park Min Sung’s return.

And because he was Jeong Jung-heon’s blood relative and the marriage partner of Jeong Ji-eun, who was once a troublesome daughter.

*

Hororok.

Jeong Jung-heon put down his teacup.

Half a day had passed since the telegram announcement was posted. He tried to concentrate on the newspaper, but his eyes couldn’t focus on the letters because of his many thoughts.

A love affair between a daughter and a distant junior of a once rival family.

This happened a little while ago.

At a time when Jeong Ji-eun was barely evolving from a reckless prosecutor to a respectable prosecutor, her daughter spoke to her.

‘I’m going to marry this person.’

What the heck is that thunderous noise?

“Oh my, it’s a goal, it’s a goal.”

Jeong Joong-heon, who remembered that time, quickly picked up his glass again and forced himself to focus his gaze on the newspaper. Even so, there probably wasn’t much good news in the newspaper either.

Hororok.

The suspicion of unfair admissions had passed, and I thought things were finally settling down.

The media was excited about Chief Prosecutor Park Min-seong’s sudden arrival in Seoul, and he intentionally avoided the political pages of the newspapers, which were filled with all sorts of speculative articles, and headed to other pages.

An article about Kang Hyun caught my eye.

[Southern District Prosecutors’ Office, in cooperation with the local police regarding the ‘illegal drug distribution case’, simultaneously seized and searched ES Entertainment and Seoul Daejin Hospital. Southern District Prosecutors’ Office trial case team stands on the scales to maintain the indictment.]

Three clues, Enter distribution drugs, Daejin Hospital raw material leak, and ‘Supreme Prosecutor’s Office.’

You want to investigate the ‘illegal drug distribution’ case yourself?

“It wouldn’t be easy to directly target the illegal drug distribution network that spreads throughout Seoul.”

Nevertheless, Kang Hyun chose this method, and his thoughts were clear to anyone who saw it.

‘In order to target Park Min-ha of the Daejin Group, we start from the bottom, not from the top.’

Although it was slow and careful, Kang Hyun had been moving one by one with certainty so far.

It wasn’t that he was going to step on the stone bridge one step at a time, but once he made a choice, he would rush forward like crazy and destroy everything.

The achievements were piling up, and now, one by one, the power to directly target her was accumulating.

Even the example of the Southern District Prosecutors’ Office proves that, doesn’t it?

While the trial continued, an intensive investigation was being conducted into all but the last link.

perhaps.

“I might actually win.”

Jeong Jung-heon muttered and sipped his warm tea again. It was the tea he needed to find peace of mind.

Outside, there is a war zone, but this brief respite is given to him.

With the thought of a break that might never come again, he took his eyes off everything for a moment, closed them slowly, and then looked at a document on one side.

[Special Promotion Candidate, Kang Hyeon. Transfer to ‘Supreme Prosecutors’ Office’]

* * *

“… escaped the net.”

Kang Hyun-i chose a slightly better objective word than ‘ruined’ and ‘why on earth’ and muttered softly once again.

Operation.

Even though it was made in a hurry, it was a good plan.

It was more perfect than it looked, even more efficient at moving a large number of people.

First, secure the buyer’s residence and use investigative personnel to cast a radar net in the vicinity to monitor those suspected of being ‘droppers’.

If someone shows up and tries to make a so-called ‘delivery’, catch them on the spot, confiscate the ‘illegal drugs’ and arrest them urgently. These ‘droppers’ will be good fodder for this case.

And also, the ‘drug buyers’ who are waiting for the ‘droppers’ with their necks out are also criminals, so they are all caught using fake drugs made in advance with white powder and the like as bait.

It’s killing two birds with one stone.

The scale of the command was such that it mobilized the police, prosecutors, and even the courts, so it was enough to cover Seoul.

Because it will not be possible to escape the hands of the Central District Prosecutors’ Office’s Joint Investigation Department and the Masu Unit in the Seoul metropolitan area.

Of course, even if we secure all the CCTV, black boxes, and eyewitness statements, we cannot grasp all the movements in the area, but there are paths that people walk on and methods that are utilized for crimes.

If a deliveryman were to try to deliver illegal drugs or other “illegal items” to someone by throwing them, and someone were to try to track them down, there are things that should take priority, both empirically and logically.

The Narcotics Investigation Unit, which instinctively knows these things very well and is skilled at them, and the Central District Prosecutors’ Office’s Joint Investigation Department, which has the most overwhelming on-site sense among all prosecution organizations.

Compared to that, it was insufficient, but with the addition of court personnel to at least fill the quota, Kang Hyeon naturally judged that the operation would be successful.

however.

Kang Hyun was temporarily stepping down from his position as the commander-in-chief of 400 people, rushing out of the control room, and quickly heading to the scene as a prosecutor for a single drug delivery case that had occurred in a certain area of ​​Bangbae-dong.

-We secured the buyer, but… we lost the ‘dropper’.

This too failed. A short sigh of regret escaped.

This case was even worse.

Because what they meant by ‘legally securing the buyer’ was that they had secretly ‘completed the delivery’ and arrested the buyer red-handed because he had received the drugs in his own hands.

Another place was even worse than this.

“Loyalty!”

“Yes, how about here?”

“That’s… not good.”

Bam!

As soon as Kang Hyun arrived at a residential area and opened the door.

“Ugh, ugh!”

“Eek, ek.”

Although he didn’t want to, he couldn’t help but take a look at the non-human in his eyes.

A person whose bloodshot eyes are flushed with satisfaction and whose mouth is agape in a strange way.

The police and investigators could only watch as the body, twisted and flailed like a fish.

“You took your medication.”

“This is a very severe level even for an addict.”

It was the first time in a long time that he had met Team Leader Hong. Kang Hyun asked without looking at him, but with his eyes fixed on the fluttering woman.

“When did you discover it?”

“Hmm… The opening is 20 minutes ago. As soon as I realized that I had been caught by the police and that there was no way out, I just stuffed everything I had left in my mouth.”

The woman seemed to have anticipated that her house would be searched, and seemed to have hastily used up the remaining medication.

In the words of an addict.

It was truly absurd. Even though they knew the police would come soon, they didn’t throw the remaining items in the toilet or anywhere else to avoid committing additional crimes.

The woman, so obviously in a hurry, injected a lethal dose into her body in an attempt to experience just one more pleasure.

Even now, even after some time has passed, even after she enters prison, she will not regret the choice she made today.

“It’s been a while since you received the ‘drugs’. So the deliveries would have happened many times before that.”

Prosecutor Park Min-seong, who arrived a little late, clicked his tongue and stood next to Kang Hyeon.

“Those guys I’m going to kill.”

Chief Park Min-seong, who had been through so many ‘drug crime cases’ that he was worn out, couldn’t even straighten his frowning face as if he had seen a rotten fish in a perfectly good house. The on-scene investigators approached.

“The personal information is clean.”

“I’m an ordinary student and have no criminal record.”

“Should I inform my family about the situation?”

“…Please calm down and ask when you come to your senses.”

For a moment, Kang Hyun looked at the floor where the young woman was lying, her flapping hands becoming more intense, and then sighed softly.

The idea that there’s an antidote to drugs is a common myth that only appears in movies. I have no choice but to leave it until I come to my senses.

And in the first place, if there was a cure for addiction to addictive drugs in this world, wouldn’t something have been done about smoking first?

Someone stood next to Kang Hyun and Park Min-seong, who were looking at the woman with severe frowns.

It was Team Leader Hong who was hesitating. As the police officer who had been on the scene the most, unlike the two prosecutors who were grimacing, he actually didn’t seem to be greatly affected by the situation that had unfolded today.

“Ahem, ah, first of all, let’s find out the woman’s identity and interrogate her. Will something like her superiors, the website, or something else come out?”

“That’s true, but it won’t be of much help in the on-site investigation. Let’s just take him away for now. I’ll arrest him on emergency grounds on charges of violating the Narcotics Control Act and drug use.”

“Okay, guys! Let’s catch the criminal!”

When Kang Hyun gave the order to arrest, Team Leader Hong shouted loudly.

Then the police officers swarmed the woman and dragged her out.

No, I just tried to pull it out.

It is not easy for a drunk person to resist, so it was difficult for a drug addict to resist with only three or four people.

Eventually, eighteen men came forward and carried the woman away as if on a human stretcher.

Man, it was a mess.

“… .”

Watching the young woman walk away, Kang Hyun and Park Min Sung were lost in thought for a moment.

The two of them didn’t speak to each other, but their thoughts couldn’t help but be the same.

‘I guess I’ll have to take the next step anyway.’

The question is where to step.

The ultimate goal of the investigation team was not to catch the ‘buyers’, but the ‘droppers’.

In general, buyers were not well informed, regardless of whether or not they had committed a crime.

How would those who access the dark space where the IP is twisted several times, buy things, receive something like a password through a volatile messenger, and bring drugs through treasure hunting know that they are the upper echelons of a ‘drug’ sales organization?

So, it was time to catch the droppers who were spreading the ‘medicine’ and sending the ‘code’ to the greedy buyers, and things went wrong.

‘Were they faster and smarter?’

If we left them as they were and managed them while setting traps, we could create another variable, but if they were discovered after delivery was completed in this way, the risk would be too great.

I thought it was under control, but it wasn’t.

-It’s a failure.

– Team 4 also missed. It seems like the buyer didn’t receive the medicine. Should we conduct a sting operation with fake drugs?

The bad news kept coming.

In the end, out of the 10 cases, 5 were complete failures with no movement at all, 3 cases, including the scene where Kang Hyun was present, were successful in having the buyer receive the drugs, and 2 cases were successful in only entrapment investigations using ‘fake drugs’ created by the joint investigation team.

Kang Hyun sighed briefly and turned his head to Park Min Sung.

“For now, let’s call off the operation.”

“Yes. Now it’s time to fight the water fight again.”

Park Min-seong answered with a somewhat heartbroken expression.

Kang Hyun nodded after hearing his words, then started radioing to give orders from a nearby location.

“We will finish the morning and resume the afternoon operation 30 minutes later. Please monitor all buyers who have not moved, and if anything unusual occurs, please report it after taking preemptive action.”

“…Huh? What did you say?”

Park Min-seong’s words meant that this operation should be stopped.

Chijik.

-Yes, I understand.

Things went wrong, and figuring out what to do next took more time and effort than I thought.

“… .”

“… .”

But Kang Hyun sent a radio message telling them to continue. The mismatched telepathy brought about silence between the two.

“…Should we continue?”
