Special Investigation Team BTS 2

EP 29. Foxy's Doll Shop (8)

As soon as Yeo-ju received the call from Yeon-jun, she headed to the address written on her phone, and only after looking around several times was she able to find her proper seat.

The highest point, the best view. This time, Bombay's position is sniper.

–♩♬

Meanwhile, the heroine's phone kept vibrating. The number of missed calls on the screen had already surpassed 100, and the callers were diverse.

One message from the team leader, two from the vice-team leader, 19 from Namjoon-sunbae, and the rest... I have a lot to say, but I won't. Just looking at this, I could tell that Namjoon had definitely told the other team members.

As I was passing the time, ignoring all the incoming calls, the appointment time arrived. It was 9 PM. It was time for Yeonjun to show up.

–♩♬

Another call came in. It was a different phone than the one that had called earlier.

연여주

"where are you."

최연준

— …intersection.

연여주

"We're almost there. Are you coming by car?"

최연준

— Phew… . Oh, soon… I’ll be there soon. Just wait.

연여주

"...But, you've been bothering me since earlier. Are you hurt? Why is your voice like that?"

최연준

— … Sister.

As Yeonjun's voice calling out to Yeoju with a hollow laugh drifted into her ears, Yeoju spotted six cars speeding in this direction through the scope of her sniper rifle.

Hey, no way… Choi Yeonjun, you… … .

최연준

— …I got caught.

They were being tailed. In other words, they were being followed. The heroine quickly loaded her sniper rifle, scanning the six cars that appeared to be under the scope.

연여주

"Hey, you crazy kid. If you can't even do the basics, what are you going to do? Just because you're in Kathart doesn't mean you should act like those guys."

최연준

— No… Sister, Kathartish. That’s a bit harsh.

연여주

"Bite it."

Yeonjun couldn't continue speaking at the heroine's cold response. It was partly because she was too cold, partly because he'd made a fundamental mistake, and partly because... he felt like his side was about to be pierced.

The heroine didn't know Yeonjun's injured condition, so she didn't even ask if he was okay.

From that day on, people... I thought they wouldn't hurt me. The heroine looked down at the six cars speeding by, her posture serious.

If you hesitate here, the Fed will die. If you delay even a little here, the Fed will die. If you regret here... the Fed will die.

연여주

"Slow down, then speed up again when I count."

최연준

— Sister, I’m saying this because I’m really anxious… .

The heroine gradually adjusted the angle of her gun to match the speed of the car. She was aiming at the wheels of the car that was fiercely following what appeared to be Yeonjun's car.

And then, I spat it out.

연여주

"one."

최연준

— Even in this situation, how can you count the numbers,

연여주

"three."

최연준

— It's fucking strong, seriously!!!!!!!!

bang-!!

Squeak–

The bullet fired by the heroine hit the wheel, and the car with the bullet in its wheel was unable to overcome its own speed and spun around in place, hitting other cars following behind.

Yeoju didn't check what happened to the car after that. She had to quickly clean up and get down to Yeonjun's car.

Without even being able to put the sniper rifle in his golf bag, he slung the bag roughly over his left shoulder, held the sniper rifle in his other hand, and pulled the wire tied to his waist a couple of times to check.

연여주

"Going down right now. Slow down."

The female protagonist, who had already put the earphones in her ears, noticed Yeonjun's car approaching quickly from afar and spoke softly.

There was no answer to that, but I could vaguely hear a voice saying, "Oh, shit," so I thought I understood.

The heroine, who had descended down the wire, frowned when she saw that it wasn't Yeonjun who greeted her, but someone else. He wasn't there when I looked around earlier. When did he come?

Without even a moment to ask who had sent them, they rushed at the female protagonist, metal pipes in hand. It was an unsightly sight.

연여주

"Hey. Where did you go?"

최연준

— Oh, I'm surrounded right now. I think my sister needs to come.

연여주

"I'm a patient. Why don't you just push them all in with your car? Aren't they all Katharisi kids anyway?"

최연준

"I'm not some kind of killer who takes pleasure in killing people. You want me to just wipe them all out with a car? After all, Bombay is Bombay. It's a byword for brutality."

Even as Yeoju leisurely spoke with Yeonjun, she didn't forget to slam the heads of those who approached her. Of course, the weapon she used to slam their heads was the sniper rifle she'd been cherishing until just a moment ago.

If he saw this, it seemed like the boss in the afterlife would come back to life by stealing someone else's body and nagging him about something, but now was not the time to be picky.

Although she had recovered significantly from her initial recovery, Yeoju was still a patient. What would normally have been a simple, non-issue took quite some time due to her poor physical condition.

연여주

“…7 minutes. Just hold on for exactly 7 minutes.”

Beads of sweat formed on my forehead and ran down my face. Unable to move my right arm aggressively, I had to fight with my left, which made it even more difficult.

최연준

— 5 minutes.

연여주

"hey,"

최연준

— … Bulletproof glass is weaker than you think.

What the heck–!!

Yeonjun's voice cut off, followed by the sound of something breaking. Oh, right. He's injured too. I'd forgotten because he'd been joking around pretending to be fine just a moment ago.

Who does he resemble? Yeonjun didn't listen to the female protagonist's words to tell him that he was in pain and not to hold it in.

연여주

“…Don’t die. I’ll be there soon.”

He didn't utter a single word or cry out, "Are you okay?" Yeoju knew Yeonjun would be alive for five minutes, and Yeonjun knew Yeoju would arrive within five minutes.

Five minutes. Just five minutes. The time the surrounded Yeonjun could hold out in the car, the time for the heroine to clear the area and run to Yeonjun. Five minutes.

After some painstaking tracking of Yeoju's phone, we arrived at a road lined with abandoned buildings. Yeoju's hair was a mess, not a single person was in sight, and three cars, seemingly out of place, were parked there.

Two cars were piled into one another, one overturned and burning, and the other two cars had only the front ends badly damaged.

It was impossible to check if there were people inside the overturned vehicle, so Namjoon, Jimin, and Jungkook hurriedly checked to see if there were people inside the damaged vehicle.

전정국

“Namjoon hyung! There are three people in the car….”

박지민

“…He’s dead. I don’t think he died in an accident, but what is this….”

Jimin, examining the body in the car, frowned at the sight of a long knife wound under the chin. Thinking it couldn't be true, he examined the other bodies, and found they all had the same wound in the same place.

김남준

"Someone killed them on purpose. There were two in that car too."

전정국

"Then what about Yeon Yeo-ju?! Surely not Yeon Yeo-ju too…."

박지민

“…Wake up. Yeon Yeo-ju was also a member of the organization. If she had to kill him, he would have killed her. He wasn’t the type of person to die.”

When Jungkook worried about Yeoju's intentional killing, Jimin shook his head, saying that couldn't be true. "Yes, that's the kind of person Yeoju was to them."

A person who doesn't die carelessly. A person who chooses death for themselves. At least to Jimin and Jungkook, who went with Yeoju to the Foxy Doll Shop, that was the kind of person Yeoju was.

김남준

“Just in case, don’t leave any fingerprints, and look for anything that could lead to the whereabouts of the female protagonist…….”

As Namjoon stepped inside the car, gloves on, he saw a note tucked between the seats. He reached out and took it out.

박지민

"What did you find?"

김남준

"this……"

When Namjoon stopped in his car, Jimin, feeling puzzled, asked Namjoon. Instead of answering, Namjoon handed Jimin the note he was holding.

박지민

"…Bombay?"

"Bombay." Was this a name or a code? Unable to decipher it immediately, I rewrote the note, only to see something else written on the back.

「A criminal are always around the crime scene.」

박지민

“What the heck is this….”

전정국

"Jimin hyung! Namjoon hyung! Come here! There's a note here!"

Bombay and Criminal. As I racked my brain trying to figure out the connection between the two, I heard Jeongguk's voice, who was looking inside another vehicle behind me.

Namjoon was a step faster than Jimin, who turned around and approached Jungkook, and Namjoon snatched the note from Jungkook.

「A criminal is always nearby.」

This time, on the back of the note with the phrase related to the 'culprit' was written "Bombay".

전정국

"The culprit is always nearby? What, are you saying the culprit who killed these people is here?"

김남준

“Why this… Bombay….”

박지민

"What, bro? Do you know what Bombay is? Or rather, do you know who it is?"

Jimin turned Namjoon's stiff shoulders and looked him straight in the eye. It was rare for Namjoon to look flustered, so he needed to quickly hear what information he was hiding.

김남준

“You… don’t know Bombay?”

전정국

"What is that?"

김남준

"The person responsible for destroying two organizations in two years alone!!"

박지민

"Destroy the organization…? Alone at that? No, two at that…?"

Having been a police officer for over two years, I've learned a lot about the organization that makes up the special investigation unit, which handles the most difficult violent crimes.

I knew that even the smallest organization had at least 200 members. But what? He could take down two organizations all by himself?

김남준

"I don't know exactly why or how Bombay eliminated two organizations. I just know that there was a fight between the organizations, and those two organizations, along with the Nox organization that Bombay was a part of, were eliminated."

박지민

"What is the name of the organization that Bombay destroyed?"

김남준

"I don't know. There's no information left on the police internal computer, and even those who worked in the violent crimes unit say they don't know about it, so I guess it wasn't that important of an organization."

전정국

"How do you know them, hyung?"

김남준

"I was injured by a bomb before, you know. The police officer who helped me study drugs told me about it. The violent crimes unit was in chaos at the time, right?"

At Namjoon's words, Jimin and Jungkook quietly nodded. They remembered the violent crimes unit members who couldn't sit still long at Kim Yeo-ju's funeral, only saying hello and leaving immediately.

전정국

“But… why is that member of the organization suddenly coming out here?”

Even after roughly organizing their thoughts, no one was able to answer Jeongguk's question. ... That's right. Why would Bombay come up here?

Namjoon, his mind in turmoil, clutched the note and looked around. Why had Yeonyeoju come to this sparsely populated place? Yeonyeoju and Bombay. There was definitely something between them.

I have an urgent announcement to make, so I've written this, ignoring all the serialization standards! I've been thinking about it... I wonder if the Elfers are feeling the pressure of serializing comments.

So! For now, I'm thinking of switching to a free-flowing series up to episode 32. Feel free to leave comments on this episode~ Oh, and by the way, I'm at school from 5 AM to 8 PM these days, so all the series are delayed...

I think I'll announce that I won't be able to come for 2 years due to a long hiatus after school starts ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ... Yes, I'll try hard to write until I can write again...
