[···Don’t worry, I’m not telling you to shoot the police. The organization will take care of the aftermath.]
‘The company will take care of the aftermath?’
What does this mean? Miss Kim was confused.
[Within 1 hour. Since it is an organization-related matter, prepare thoroughly.]
“Hey- Hey- Something related to the organization? Did the cop give you some information? What did you hear?”
Stop-
The call ended without any concern for whether Ms. Kim asked a question or not.
Aaaahhhhhhhh!
Ms. Kim grabbed her short hair and shook it.
devil, satan, monster,
No, just fucked.
I was hiding the guns, parts, and bullets I received through quick service by distributing them throughout the house.
I already did the same thing in a women-only motel and came back without any rest, and now I’m being asked to prepare to shoot in less than 60 minutes?
They didn’t even tell me where, who, or why. They just said it was all about the organization.
‘Should I just throw that little bastard in the trash?’
Kim Yang was starting to get angry. Kim Yang was good at controlling her anger, but what was this? Wasn’t she the only one who was being bullied? Contrary to Kim Yang’s mind being ablaze, her body was honest.
Naturally, he implemented the location tracking app installed on Maru’s cannon phone and his own cannon phone.
If you take a taxi to the west side where Maru is, it takes about 8 minutes, or at most 10 minutes. Even if there is a lot of traffic, it takes about 15 minutes.
good.
I had 20 minutes to pack my gear and head out. There was still plenty of time left.
Since I told you to prepare to snipe, there are three possible roads. If you want to choose a place without CCTV, it would be a main road, or a very remote road.
Where will Maru go? Of course, since he is a dark and sinister bastard, he will go to a narrow, secluded alley.
What if it were another way? Who would blame someone when you didn’t do it right? Ms. Kim was the type who would never call first.
‘If you like it, just throw it away. Cut it.’
Kim Yang, carrying a gun bag disguised as a cello case, called a taxi using an app and went outside.

The air, which had been slightly clean after ventilation, soon became clouded with cigarette smoke.
A detective said, wiping a long string of cigarette ash into an ashtray.
“Detective Ahn?”
“Yes. He said that if I wanted to get through the night safely, I had to tell him everything.”
“I don’t think it’s a simple threat.”
“Now that I think about it, I felt like a black car was following the taxi I was in.”
The detective’s eyes widened at Maru’s words. He thought he would smell something in the world, but could this young man be an informant? Or a murderer? The young man’s past was too clean to say that he had killed dozens of people alone. His alibi was also solid.
The results of the investigation were the same; there were no unusual signs in phone calls with the young man’s high school classmates or his seniors and juniors in the military.
He was a young man who was honest and struggling to survive as the head of a ruined family. If this young man was an anonymous informant, how did he know the secret password, let alone the fact that World Livestock had an underground warehouse?
The healthy young man was a disguise, and he must have had some sort of position in the World Group. The house he lived in was too shabby to be considered that. An organization as big as the World Group would not have left him in a semi-basement.
‘I don’t know.’
If one was right, the other wasn’t. It felt tangled and tangled. By the way, what Detective Ahn said meant that this young man had a tail attached to him. It meant that he was dangerous.
“We’ll follow you from here. If a dangerous situation arises, don’t try to fight. If you just defend your life and hold on, we’ll come and subdue you.
It is a country where both sides are involved, such as when a victim who was beaten to death was injured by the victim’s push and ran away after being hit and became blind, and when the victim was beaten to death, the perpetrator claims that he was injured by the victim’s push. In order to avoid the two sides with 100% certainty, one would have to just take the hits. Whether the result is blindness or death.
Maru had no such intention, but nodded with a serious expression.
“All right.”
“Don’t walk too fast. I’ll put a tracker, camera, and wiretap on you later. Don’t worry.”
“yes.”
As expected, things didn’t go as planned. With the location tracker, cameras, and wiretapping devices hanging from it, it was impossible to move around as one pleased.
I was trying to use one detective to create a perfect alibi, get rid of Detective Ahn, and take a step towards freedom, but this is what happened.
“I’m nervous, so I’m going to go get some fresh air.”
“Okay. Okay. Will 10 minutes be okay?”
“yes.”
Maru frowned and headed toward the front door. Slightly diagonally away, Officer Lee was drinking coffee, and in front of him, Detective Ahn was smoking a cigarette with an expression that said, “Come this way.”
‘surveillance?’
Officer Lee and Detective Ahn were in a strange position.
Maru went into the bathroom next door, sat down on one side, and closed the door. He had two cell phones, one in Maru’s name, and the other in a Daepo phone. He sent a text message to Ms. Kim with the Daepo phone, which contained a rough outline of the content. As soon as Ms. Kim read Maru’s text, she immediately responded.
[The detective said he wouldn’t shoot, and that he’s like someone from a detective company? But the target is a detective?]
[I told you it’s okay. You know what Crystal is? I told you not to worry, I’m just disguising myself as that.]
[Openly shooting in Seoul is something that even the military can be dispatched. If you shoot, do it inside a building. Who would do it openly outside? Who would do something so crazy? Do you know how crazy Chief Hong was? But openly sniping in downtown Seoul? I can’t. I won’t do it.]
[No, if you don’t do that, you and I will live together with our tails tied together? Let’s end this once and for all. Just do as I say. You know because you’ve experienced it yourself. Isn’t the fact that I’m still alive because my thoughts worked? If you do it half-heartedly and get caught, you’ll be screwed. I know it’s burdensome, Miss Kim, but this time, do as I say. And you can go and search for Bae right away.]
After sending a few texts, Maru left the bathroom. Detective Ahn was standing there blocking the bathroom door.
“Hey, it’s been over 5 minutes and I haven’t heard a poop drop or smelled anything? Is this the stealth poop?”
“What is it?”
Detective Ahn chuckled, chewing his gum.
“The kid is short-spoken. Should I chew on him a bit before he becomes more obedient and docile?”
“······.”
“Hey- Look at me. Tell me to open up. Director Choi and Director Baek are like that, but why isn’t Manager Hong answering the phone? You don’t know, do you?”
“······.”
Maru was silent. Detective Ahn’s eyes narrowed at Maru’s silence.
“Wow- look at this fucking kid.”
Detective Ahn, who had been whining, quickly reached into Maru’s jacket pocket.
Maru fell backwards with a loud – ugh! – scream. Detective Ahn, who had taken a mounted position and covered Maru’s falling body, took his cell phone out of Maru’s jacket pocket with a violent thud.
Maru’s cell phone was recording voice.
“Ah- Seriously, this fucking kid is playing cutely. Seriously.”
Detective Ahn turned off the recording on his phone as if he found it absurd and unbelievable.
“You little punk, when I was talking to you while laughing, did you look like you had hot pants on your legs? You’re not the type of guy who should be spoken to nicely, are you? Haha- This kind of guy is always going to bleed when he messes up so clumsily. Always.”
“······.”
“Those bastards who won’t listen to you when you talk, but when you drop a finger or a toe, they’ll cry, snot, shit, and cum all over their bodies while confessing. They’re the ones who really do it.”
“······.”
Detective Ahn snickered at Maru’s tightly shut lips despite his sticky threats.
“Well, if you’re scared to this extent, that bastard Chief Hong’s ability to judge people isn’t what it used to be. In a way, you’re amazing, Chief Hong, because you’ve seen that an ordinary person has this much guts. But isn’t that it? The way to make screams instead of words come out of your clam-shut mouth is to be strong and fierce?”
“······.”
“What- Okay. I know you’re not a kid who can be talked to. Okay. And if you record something like this, you might as well just die. Okay? Listen to me, kid.”
Detective Ahn playfully slapped Maru in the face with the phone he was holding.
“Detective Ahn, what are you doing right now?”
The officer opened the bathroom door and shouted.
“Can’t you see? I just questioned the suspect.”
“Is there also an interrogation where you climb on top of the suspect in the bathroom?”
“Hey, this officer. What should I say when this officer comes in like that? Another detective did it, and now this officer is doing it too? Well, there are a lot fewer people dying in the line of duty these days. Everyone’s got lighter mouths, lighter pockets, and looser bodies, so the tense atmosphere that used to be so lively is gone. This officer is talking back to the detective. I really can’t let this go today.”
Detective Ahn’s mouth drew a long line. Detective Ahn, who was glaring at the officer, slapped him hard on the floor a few times, then grabbed him by the collar and whispered.
“See you later. Yeah. Later.”
“I have to live before that. If you think that life is beautiful even if you become a cripple, contact me.”
Detective Ahn put his business card down on Maru’s chest.
The moment he was about to leave the bathroom, Maru’s lips opened.
“Please give me my cell phone.”
Detective Ahn threw his phone away with a “ha-ha.” The recording file had already been deleted.

Under the subtle LED streetlights that were dark but not too dark, a familiar face appeared for a moment.
I knew he would come this way, he was a gloomy kid. He was walking towards the direction where Miss Kim was waiting in ambush. He looked around every now and then as if he was anxious.
‘Damn you, Amyna.’
To anyone who saw her, she looked truly anxious and as if she was being chased by something. Ms. Kim put down her binoculars and lay down.
Night sniping? It’s not daytime, it’s nighttime.
If you could shoot 1km during the day, it would be great to shoot half that distance, 500m, at night. But the current distance is about 800m. If it were during the day, it would be easy, but considering it was at night, it wasn’t a close distance.
Kim Yang took up a position to fire the latest model of the СВЧ (SVCh) Dragunov sniper rifle, equipped with a specially ordered silencer.
‘Should I shoot this little bastard too?’
I was tempted to just sweep it all away since I was already shooting, but I didn’t have enough money to dive in after making things bigger. It’s because of the money. It’s because of the money. It’s because of the money~ I thought I heard this Siem Reap song.
Tsk-
I checked the surroundings with a sniper scope. There were about five people following Maru.
joy-
You fucking idiots took the bait. There were 5 of you… If you were in top condition, you would have cut it around 3 seconds, but it was hard right now.
The last of the people following Maru in the scope, the one walking slowly in the middle. A round face with thinning hair. Is that Detective Ahn?
Kim Yang moved his gun left and right around Detective Ahn. Maru was at the front, and five others followed behind him. Probably company people and Detective Ahn, who was a company shill.
The people lurking in the alleyways were probably company employees.
And the people who are watching, hiding further away, are probably narcotics detectives and police officers.
‘I’m not telling you to shoot the police, what the hell is that? You’re a fucking punk, you fucking punk.’
When Kim thought of Maru, her head started to heat up again.
Calm down- calm down-
Okay – let’s just do it as planned. Just do it as planned.
Kim Yang, who had released the safety lock, placed her finger on the trigger.
It’s a matter of the account.
