Special Investigation Team BTS 2

EP 06. Mysterious Terror (4)

김남준

"Haa… This is our special investigation unit. I've already told you three times that we're here to investigate."

"I'm sorry, but I've already told you three times that Representative Kim Hyun-woong told us not to let anyone in."

전정국

"No, we came here because that Congressman Kim Hyun-woong asked us to investigate this case first?"

"The Special Investigation Unit was also ordered to restrict access. That's all. I have nothing more to say."

What's the situation now? The member of the National Assembly who requested the investigation has refused to cooperate with the special investigation team.

Who said it was so urgent, but he lost his temper and threw away all his other work, and when he came, what? Access control? He listened so well when we told him to go, so we really looked like assholes.

Jungkook cursed in a low voice and shook his head in disbelief, and Namjoon called Seokjin, who was currently with the National Assembly member, wondering if there was something he hadn't received.

Of the three, the one who was the most calm was, by far, Yeon Yeo-ju. She stood about ten paces away from them, observing the situation.

“One, two, three, four… Is this really just one room? Why is it so big?”

I looked up at the building and saw four windows covered with curtains. Same curtains, same floor. It was clearly a single room, but it was surprisingly spacious.

Looking down, she saw them still arguing. It seemed like she wouldn't be able to get in today. Yeoju gripped her bag tightly on her back and headed to the back of the building.

"I'm going to the bathroom for a bit!!"

It was Bombay's turn to step forward, not Yeon Yeo-ju, a member of the special investigation team.

Behind the empty building, Yeoju quickly finished getting ready. She was still dressed in the same white shirt and light blue jeans she'd worn when she came. She decided that wearing black in the morning would be better, as it would stand out.

The heroine draped a hastily procured disposable mask over her ears and pulled a white hat down low. Her hair, barely touching her elbows, was tied in a small bun, keeping it from getting in the way and allowing for easy movement.

“The time is… within 10 minutes. The location is… on the 3rd floor.”

She took out the jackknife she had tied to her waist and tied a string to the end of the handle. It was a special jackknife she had personally crafted while still active in the military.

Holding a jackknife in her right hand and a long rope wrapped around her left, the heroine threw the jackknife with all her might toward the third-floor window. Her right wrist ached from the excessive force, but she didn't pay much attention to it because it was bearable.

After pulling the jackknife a couple of times, which had suddenly snapped inside, and confirming it was safe, I stood on the wall with both feet. The way he took each step was admirable, and anyone who saw it would praise his skill, saying it wasn't something he'd done only once or twice.

Yeoju quickly climbed up to the third floor and entered the building through an open window. There wasn't a single person in the hallway, but she could hear loud voices chattering from a corner of a room.

"You're going to listen to such a suspicious guy?! If we get caught, we're finished!!!"

"As long as you don't get caught, as long as you don't get caught!!! The team leader from the special investigation team or something is probably waiting in my office right now, and the rest of the team members who are coming to investigate are probably waiting in front of here too. I didn't let them in."

"Hyung, are you crazy?! The special investigation unit may be part of the government, but it operates independently!! If they find out, they'll send you to prison in an instant. There's nothing these guys who even sent the minister here two years ago can't do!!"

"Ah, come on!!! If you don't release Sabra, we'll really die, you punk. I became a member of the National Assembly because I like money, but even so, would I choose money over my life? Huh?!"

Sabra… Release me? The heroine, who had been quietly eavesdropping on their conversation, frowned at the unexpected words. I wondered why he had held out so long, but he finally tried to escape.

I opened the door to the room and looked inside to see the faces of the people inside. One man in a black suit and the other in a blue suit. They were the congressman I had briefly met yesterday and his secretary.

There was a rumor that Representative Kim Hyun-woong's younger brother was his personal secretary, and it seemed to be true. Yeo-ju pulled a recorder pen from her pants pocket to record their conversation. It was the same pen Seok-jin had used the previous time.

"Ha, I shouldn't have pushed you after all. Do you only want to be a member of the National Assembly?! If you were thinking of becoming president, you shouldn't have thought of releasing criminals!!!"

"I just told you. Life is more important than money. Sabra? Even if you give her some money, she'll live quietly and quietly. I already promised to release her, and I even called the prison. So all you have to do is stay still."

"What?! What if you decide something like that all by yourself!!!!"

연여주

"……."

You already called the prison? It seemed like you'd recorded everything important, so you put the recorder back in your pocket. By the way, if you've already contacted the prison... is Sabra coming out into the world?

Even though she heard that Sabra, who once terrified the police as a drug lord, was coming out of prison, the heroine fell out of the room without any emotion.

In fact, such things happened to Yeoju every day, so there was no reason to be particularly surprised. Hadn't the former Prime Minister commissioned Yeoju to commit murder because the law couldn't resolve it? Yeoju simply assumed that what was meant to happen had finally happened.

Seeing them talking here, there couldn't be any evidence around here. Feeling like I'd done what I needed to do, I walked back to the window. No, I tried to move.

"……?"

A note was visible sticking out through the crack in the door. Skillfully concealing her presence, the heroine scanned her surroundings, then bent down to pick up the note and read it.

“Take out the sabra, or it will be yours. –σαΐτα.”

The words in the middle were blackened out with a black marker, as if someone had crossed them out, and at the end of the sentence was written the tattoo on the finger of the mysterious person I had checked on the computer last time.

Saitah. Was this his purpose?

The heroine placed the ring on her finger in front of the note. Then, she pressed a button. A photo was taken by a specially designed miniature camera.

“Haa… Where did this kid go again?”

김남준

"He went to the bathroom for a moment. Just wait a moment and he'll be back soon."

연여주

"Sorry! I'm a little late. The public restroom is far away, so it took a long time to get there and back."

The female protagonist returned to her previous outfit as if she had never done anything secretive before and ran to Jungkook and Namjoon, who were grumbling in front of the building.

Fortunately, the time it took for them to disappear and reappear was a total of 15 minutes. It was a 5-minute overdue, but... I don't think they'd be suspicious to that extent.

김남준

"Seokjin hyung just told me to come. I think he was really upset because the congressman didn't show up for over an hour after calling him. We should go now."

연여주

“I’m a bit hungry, but would it be okay if I eat something before I go? I haven’t eaten anything since morning, so I’m hungry.”

전정국

"You're asking for a lot. Should I just go home and eat?"

I clearly asked Namjoon, but the answer came back from Jungkook. "That informal speech was really annoying earlier, but you did well." The female protagonist grabbed Jungkook's arm as he walked away, turning around.

연여주

"hey."

전정국

"Miss, this is surprising. What is it?"

연여주

"I think you forgot for a moment, I'm a year older than you."

전정국

"…? however."

Oh, how shameless it was. What did the old men do when I was acting so shamelessly like this? The female protagonist hesitated for a moment, then turned around and slammed her fist into the round back of Jeongguk's head.

Taak–!!

전정국

"Eww!!! What are you doing!!"

How could such a sound come out when hitting a chestnut? Jungkook turned around to face the female protagonist, clutching the back of his head with both hands, feeling as if his skull was about to crack.

I expected her to apologize immediately when our eyes met, but she didn't. Instead, she simply exclaimed, "Oh, that's effective."

연여주

"They say that a whip is the best medicine for a disobedient child."

전정국

"what?!"

연여주

"You should listen carefully, because someone like my father said this. Don't be so rude."

The female protagonist, who spoke as if she were a child, adjusted her shoulder bag and ran towards Namjoon. From what I could hear, she wanted to try something called tteokbokki.

What on earth do you want to eat when it's not even tteokbokki? Anyway... Yeonyeoju was a real jerk, no, a real jerk.
