#281. You can trust this

“Oh, you’re here?”

As Han Ki-joo stood in front of the door with a bewildered expression, Team Leader Alpha greeted him happily(?).

“What’s with the scenery here? Is this an interrogation room? Or a butcher shop?”

“Oh, you mean this?”

“okay.”

“Haha! I was just trying to set the mood. To pressure the culprits. A sort of decoration, you could say?”

“… … .”

Han Ki-joo started to say something but stopped.

When I thought about it, it definitely seemed effective, and I told him to interrogate them without any hesitation, by any means necessary.

“By the way, who are those guys?”

“Please come to this room.”

As it turned out, this wasn’t an interrogation room, but another room leading to the interrogation room.

As Han Ki-joo followed Team Leader Alpha through the butcher shop, he saw five people who appeared to be the main culprits shivering with their hands tied in the room next to them.

“Is this them?”

“Yes. The number 1 on the left is the leader of this group of rioters.”

“Huh? This guy is the boss? But why is he so normal? Did you really interrogate him?”

It was clearly reported that the interrogation was over and that Wang Geon had been rescued.

But the mastermind’s condition was too good.

Sure, there were signs of having been hit a few times, but it didn’t look like he had been properly interrogated.

Rather, the lower body of the guy who was presumed to be number 5 at the very end was covered with cloth, and it was soaking wet with blood and he looked like he was enduring pain, so naturally, questions arose.

“Of course, I questioned them. This number 1 is the main culprit, and numbers 2 through 4 are from the same hometown as number 1, and they are sort of the action leaders. Number 2 is said to have personally beheaded Executive Director Jeong Jae-yong. I confirmed this through cross-examination.”

“But why are you so fine?”

“These guys aren’t terrorists who act based on some kind of belief.”

“yes.”

“So these guys have no sense of loyalty to their beliefs or organization that they can endure while enduring torture.”

“ah…….”

“I was just drunk on the atmosphere and crossed the line that I shouldn’t have crossed, and from then on, I was afraid of punishment, so I didn’t surrender to the Indonesian military and police and even took them hostage. So there was no need for torture. I just set the mood at the entrance and beat them a few times, and they started talking about everything, even the things they did when they were kids.”

“Huh! Then what about that guy? Number 5. I think he was properly interrogated?”

“That’s right, Sergeant! Show me!”

“Yes, team leader.”

When the sergeant next to him lifted the cloth covering No. 5’s lower body, the signs of torture were clearly visible.

“hmm…….”

“Just in case, I left the upper body alone and focused on the lower body.”

“… … .”

It is said that they ‘focused on’ the lower body in order to hide the traces of torture from the outside world in case they were to come back to life, but Han Ki-joo thought that it seemed to reflect the torturer’s taste(?).

But that’s not what’s important right now.

Anyway, the lower half of the 5th’s body was covered in wounds.

All of the toenails had been pulled out, and most of the toes appeared to have been crushed with a blunt object.

Besides, even though the genitals weren’t cut off, they were still tattered and bleeding, so it was clear that some(?) damage had been done.

If that’s the case, then that guy wasn’t easily fooled, and he was either a man of conviction or a member of a proper organization.

“Who is that guy?”

“My name is Chotko Amin.”

“Amin Joko? Not Joko?”

“I thought it was called Chotko? I also felt a bit awkward with the name, so I double-checked.”

“… … .”

Han Ki-joo guessed that the name was the same as ‘Joko’, the name of the Indonesian president in modern times, but it seems that he just understood it as it was pronounced a little loudly.

Anyway, it didn’t matter whether the name was Jotko or Joko.

I didn’t even think about what Team Leader Alpha said next.

“I’m from the Indonesian Army Intelligence Service. He’s the real mastermind behind this.”

“What? Army Intelligence? Really?”

“That’s right. It was so poisonous that I didn’t even groan when I crushed my toes.”

“however?”

“It was only when I was about to cut off the big precious thing, just like its name, that he started crying and confessing.”

“Ahem!”

Even the guy who endured the pain of crushing his toes seemed to break when his precious little one was in danger.

Well, who wouldn’t do that?

Every man has an instinctive fear of losing his penis.

So, there were times when I would torture people by exploiting that fear, but honestly, that was crossing the line.

Anyway, if that’s the case, then it must be true.

And this is truly the best of the best, the greatest of the greats.

Because this would be clear evidence that the Indonesian government was systematically involved in this incident.

“How did you make things this big? Even Sukarno would never want to harm our people in this way.”

“That’s right, he said he didn’t know things would turn out like this.”

“You didn’t know yourself?”

“Yes, he said he was inciting them from behind, but he chose the wrong tool. He said that guy number 1 was a total idiot who went beyond expectations. In short, he got out of control. So he panicked and was afraid of being punished, so he couldn’t even contact his superiors.”

“her!”

That’s why playing with fire wasn’t something to be done recklessly.

Because fire wasn’t something that could be controlled.

In China, too, during the Cultural Revolution, there were more than one or two instances where the Red Guards ran wild and even embarrassed Mao Zedong.

“But how did you know that he was the real mastermind?”

“Among the survivors, this one was particularly quick and nimble. So I thought it was no ordinary one, so I observed it closely, and it smelled really bad. What is it?”

“Smell? What smell?”

“It’s a trained smell.”

“ah…….”

People who have served in the military for a long time or have received training somewhere tend to have different postures and gaits.

Even when sitting still, the posture is upright and the movements are restrained.

And that’s why it’s said that a trained soldier is not fit to be a swindler.

Ordinary people might pass it by without noticing, but professionals like Alpha Team Leader would have noticed it right away.

“Whew! Well done anyway. You really did a great job.”

“thank you!”

“And we’ll take them all. You’ll be responsible for escorting them.”

“All right.”

“By the way, were you really planning to cut it?”

“Huh? What do you mean?”

“That guy over there, he’s precious.”

“Oh! No. How could that be? I’m a man, and I have morals, don’t I?”

“… … .”

I think it really was cut.

As soon as Han Ki-joo left the interrogation room, he opened his mouth into the headset microphone.

Now it’s time to go.

“This is the commander. We will withdraw within 10 minutes. All captured personnel will be handed over to the Indonesian military and police. And we will clean up thoroughly so that no trace of our equipment remains!”

-Delta, I understand.

-Bravo, I understand.

-Charlie, I understand.

– This is Echo, sir. Excuse me, but please come out the front door.

“huh?”

Everyone said they understood, but the Echo Team, which was in charge of the main gate, asked the leader to come out in person.

“Echo, what’s going on?”

―The Indonesian troops have been attempting to enter for 30 minutes. We have managed to block them so far, but if we continue to block them, a clash is inevitable. In addition, a battalion-sized force has arrived from somewhere.

“Okay. I’m going out.”

A while later, as Han Ki-joo went out the main gate, Team Leader Echo was seen arguing with Colonel Prabowo.

“What’s going on?”

“What the heck! Shouldn’t you be telling us what’s going on?”

“The situation is over.”

“What, what? Already? How long has it been since you offered to surrender? Then how many more hostages have died?”

“None.”

“No?”

“All surviving hostages have been rescued.”

“What kind of lie is that! There were hundreds of armed rioters, and you expect me to believe that?”

“If you don’t want to believe it, then don’t believe it.”

“Then, what about your subordinates?”

“There was no harm to my subordinates.”

“This is crazy… … .”

Colonel Prabowo couldn’t think of anything to say.

Because this is just plain nonsense.

There were hundreds of rioters taking thirty hostages at a time.

But you rescued all those hostages without a single casualty?

Moreover, no matter what they did, there was barely any sound of combat.

At first all I heard was a single .50 caliber shot, and after that I didn’t hear any gunshots, and yet the rescue operation was already over?

“Now that you’re done talking, let me speak too.”

“What?”

“There were additional casualties before we entered.”

“Any, more victims?”

“exactly.”

“What do you want me to do about that? You didn’t even let me enter your country?”

“Did you not hear from your superiors? They told you to calm the situation down as much as possible so that there are no more casualties?”

“… … .”

I heard.

But honestly, I thought that was a ridiculous instruction, so I listened to it with one ear and let it go out the other.

My superiors would say it in passing, so I didn’t even pay attention.

The reason why the instructions regarding additional victims were like this was because Sukarno did not properly convey South Korea’s warning when giving instructions to his subordinates.

How do you mean to convey the message that if there is even one more victim, they will all be killed?

That was something that could not happen due to Sukarno’s pride, so he simply said to give him whatever he asked for.

“Tsk! I guess the message wasn’t conveyed properly up to here.”

“What does that mean?”

“Okay. Why are you asking me about something that you didn’t tell me in your country? Just know that something big is going on. We’re going to withdraw now, so go in after we leave. There should be about 80 captured rebels.”

“What? You didn’t kill them all, did you?”

“No, this guy is really! What kind of human bastards are we? Kill them all!”

“That’s weird. If it were us, we would have killed them all.”

“… … .”

Han Ki-ju didn’t want to talk to this bastard anymore.

“Everyone, get out! Get the hostages on board first! Hurry up!”

-All right!

The withdrawal operation was carried out quickly.

First, the hostages were brought on board, and then the remains of the six victims were respectfully placed on board.

And as the special forces were getting into the vehicle carrying various equipment, an incident occurred.

“Ugh!”

“… … ?”

The five ringleaders who were being escorted by the special task force were caught by the Indonesian military.

The cause was Chotko Amin, who was instigating from behind the scenes.

This guy also knew that he would die anyway if he went back, so he was being carried on Daewon’s back obediently, but Sojung, who was injured, raised his head while groaning as he was rubbed against Daewon’s back.

It just so happened that Prabowo happened to see that scene.

“Wait a minute! What are they!”

“What the heck! What kind of precious person is someone who didn’t even groan once when his toes were broken… .”

Han Ki-joo grumbled to himself, thinking, “That damned door is precious.”

“What?”

“no.”

“What do you mean, no! Those who are being carried away and those next to them are definitely Indonesian citizens!”

“so?”

“So what’s the matter! We cannot allow foreign troops to take our Indonesian citizens away! Hand them over immediately!”

“Stop talking nonsense. They are criminals who killed our citizens of the Republic of Korea. We have the right to arrest them.”

“That’s a violation of sovereignty! Hand it over now!”

“You’re talking about something like a violation of sovereignty. You’re saying we’ll all be killed?”

“Even if you kill us, we’ll kill you! Hand it over quickly!”

“Huh?”

Han Ki-joo thought it was suspicious.

Prabowo is complaining about the violation of sovereignty, but he is being too harsh when the situation is already over.

If it’s sovereignty, it’s already been violated.

“You know?”

“What are you talking about?”

“I mean, Amin.”

“… … .”

This guy wasn’t the type to hide his true feelings.

As soon as the point was hit, I flinched.

“Hey, Colonel. Don’t be ridiculous. We’ll take them.”

“profit!”

Prabowo gritted his teeth.

I don’t know about other guys, but that guy shouldn’t be alive.

So, I tried to somehow intervene in the operation.

“Don’t move! Hand that guy over or you won’t get out of here alive! Prepare for battle!”

Clank! Clank! Clank!

At Prabowo’s order, dozens of Kopassus agents and regular infantry battalion troops, believed to be under his direct command, simultaneously aimed their guns at the special task force and surrounded it.

“If you want to live, give it up?”

“Huh? Is that how it came out? Can you beat us?”

“We have the upper hand in terms of military force! Don’t bluff!”

“You’re playing around. Do I look like a retard to you?”

“what?”

“Do you think I’m some kind of idiot commander who doesn’t even prepare for you hitting him in the back of the head?”

“What the hell are you talking about?”

“Ace, are you aiming?”

Cheek!

– This is Ace. Just speak.

“Could you give me a warning?”

-All right.

“What are you talking about… … .”

ping!

Suddenly, a bullet flew from somewhere and hit the helmet Prabowo was wearing.

“omg!”

“You missed. It’s a warning. If you don’t back off right now, I guarantee you, the next bullet will blow your head off. You can trust me on this. This guy is the ace of our entire special forces. He’s the sniper ace. That’s why his call sign is also ace.”

“this person…….”

“I told you to hurry up and quit. Do you really want to die?”

“… … .”

Prabowo was an ambitious man.

I never wanted to die in a place like this.

Eventually, the troops were forced to withdraw.

“I warn you one last time. If you ever try to interfere with our return, don’t even think about it. If you do, we will kill you all. Don’t you believe it? Then go inside the factory. It will help you a lot in gaining faith.”

“… … .”

“I’m going back!”

Boooow!

After the special task force left.

Prabowo entered the factory.

and.

“Oh, my God!”

A sea of ​​blood was spread out before Prabowo.

Those are corpses with their heads blown off or their upper and lower bodies separated.

“You devil! You guys are devils!”

If he were a Baekjeong, those guys were the devil himself.

They were guys I never wanted to see again.
