The Reincarnated Cop Who Strikes With Wealth - Chapter 28.2

The Surviving Victim in Hwanak Neighborhood (2)

“What! What! Just what’s with you! You motherfucker!”

Clang!

I pulled him off the table, while pushing it away with a kick.

The table easily slid across the room.

With the same motion, I drove him into the nearest wall.

“Chu Oh-Myeong!”

Police officers came running in and subdued the enraged Chu Oh-Myeong.

The guy was still trying to rush at me while foaming at the mouth.

As he was forced to lie flat on the floor, he shouted something that sounded like a curse.

“Even still, you fucker! I’ve won you fucking motherfucker! That bitch is dead no matter what! Ahahahaha! She’s dead. I killed her! Aaaargh!”

“N-newbie. What’s with that bastard? It’s kinda scary.”

He was showing an unsurpassed level of madness.

Black drew back and turned to look at me.

Because of how Chu Oh-Myeong had screamed with such hate, his voice started to crack as he spoke.

“They’ve already said that they’re going to bulldoze the whole neighbourhood at 11 o’clock today. You guys can’t do anything to save her. You’re acting like you’re so clever, but you’re just stupid bastards who can’t do anything!”

He shouted this at us viciously.

I checked the time, but it was already 10:55 am.

At best, we only had five minutes left.

My teammates turned to look at me in bewilderment.

“The last victim is in Hwanak Neighbourhood. Since that bastard has really lost his mind, he must have hidden her somewhere in there… For now, we need to stop them from demolishing any buildings.”

“And the exact location?”

“I don’t know.”

“Shit! I’ll take the bike there first!”

With a curse, Mong-Doo ran off.

Meanwhile, we looked for the phone number of the official construction company’s office on a laptop.

As Black dialed the phone, his hands were shaking.

“Hello? This is the Su-An Police Station-Wait! No! This isn’t a voice-phishing scam. It’s a long story, but we’ve received a report that there is a kidnapping victim currently trapped in Hwanak Neighbourhood. I’ve already told you, I’m not messing with you!”

The longer the call went on, the darker Black’s expression became.

“They say that they’re a subcontractor, so they don’t have any authority. And that it’s hard to get them to stop immediately, since they just finished all their preparations to get started. Then they just keep threatening to kill me if this really is a prank call. What about Mong-Doo? Is he still on his way?”

I’m going crazy. Even on a bike, Mong-Doo won’t be able to get there in time.

Black kept his ear glued to his handphone as he nodded his head intently.

“…yes, yes? Ah, really? He says that he’ll help us out, if we can tell him the exact building to avoid demolishing. Since he has to do this without permission from the top, that’s the most that he can do for us.”

However, by the looks of things, Chu Oh-Myeong would definitely refuse to say another word. Team Leader anxiously asked another question.

“And just who are their superiors? Which company are they from?”

“Gu-Gunbaek Construction.”

Gunbaek Construction?

Team Leader quickly entered Gunbaek Construction’s website.

They had a multitude of departments and managers.

It looked like he was panicking about which person he needed to call.

“The Customer Support Team? No, that’s not it. Just who should I- where should I call?”

I took out my handphone and dialed Chief Kim.

-Yes, young master.

“There’s an emergency, so please give me Nam Sae-Ha’s number.”

-Ah… just a moment.

Chief Kim was quite tactful.

He didn’t even ask what was going on.

Was this because he was the secretary at a large company?

All eyes, from Chu Oh-Myeong to my teammates, were focussed on me.

After a minute that felt like an hour flew past, I heard Chief Kim’s voice.

-I’ll call it out for you.

“Hyungnim. Dial the numbers I’m calling out.”

-0102748···

“0102748···”

Without hanging up on Chief Kim, I also picked up Black’s handphone.

I heard the dial tone as soon as I pressed the call button.

Please pick up, pick up, pick up…

-Yes. This is Nam Sae-Ha speaking.

It was a sophisticated, baritone voice.

Nam Sae-Ha sounded just as I remembered him.

“This is Gogwang’s Go Ji-Hun. Do you remember me?”

-Ah. You’re Go Min-Guk’s younger brother, right? Of course. It’s been a while-

“I’m sorry, but please save the pleasantries for later. Please halt the demolitions in Hwanak Neighbourhood. For the whole area. We’ve received information that a missing person is being held there.”

Nam Sae-Ha seemed surprised and was silent for a moment.

-Are you sure about this information? We’re spending a lot of money on the project, so if this is just a simple incident-

“I’m certain of it.”

I resolutely interrupted him.

Nam Sae-Ha hesitated out of uncertainty, but soon gave his agreement.

If he didn’t, it could spell the end for an already controversial redevelopment once a body was found.
