The Reincarnated Cop Who Strikes With Wealth - Chapter 41.2

Between Extermination and Annihilation (2)

Unlike the dilapidated exterior, the interior of the factory appeared to be in pretty tidy shape.

A simple operating theatre had been set up in one of the factory’s rooms. Inside, a man wearing surgical scrubs was waiting, along with a foreign child who was lying asleep on a bed. This was the child who was scheduled to receive So-Yeon’s organs.

The doctor slipped on a mask and gloves before nodding.

“Why don’t we get started? Everyone, please refrain from causing any interruptions.”

He stripped So-Yeon’s clothes and picked up a red pen. Then he drew a red line running straight down her chest. However, just when the doctor had picked up his scalpel and was about to begin the surgery, a commotion erupted outside. It was apparently caused by the arrival of an unfamiliar car. The annoyed doctor irritably tore off his mask and stormed out of the operating theatre.

“Fuck! Didn’t I tell you all to be quiet when I’m wielding my scalpel!”

A man calmly walked into the factory. It was Wang Ong-Gu. He casually took a look around the place, before spitting on the floor.

“Bloody hell. Who came up with the idea to hide this shit in a place like this? Anyway, I’m in a hurry, so someone go get the ledger.”

“What? Who are you?”

“Is he a crazy person?”

Some of the men who had been gambling got up and pulled out their knives. Wang Ong-Gu threw his phone at one of them with a look of disinterest on his face.

“Cut the chatter. You guys should just quickly pack up and get ready to run. The police are on their way.”

The phone contained the text messages that he had been exchanging with Wi Yeon-Gil. That was enough proof that he and they were on the same side. After checking the phone, they slowly lowered their knives.

“So you’re the cop?”

“That’s right. I’m the cop. We don’t have much time, so quickly bring me the ledger. I need to get rid of it. Fuck. We’re just lucky that I found out in advance…”

Wang Ong-Gu had rushed over after learning that the Criminal Affairs Division had found clues leading to Aeryuwon. Since they had just applied for a search and seizure warrant when he left the station, the rest of the force could be arriving here by as early as this evening.

“Doctor. Quickly go and transplant So-Yeon’s organs. We’ll be leaving here once you’re done.”

“O-okay.”

Jin Hwa-An immediately grasped the situation and started giving out orders.

“Start packing everything in the office into boxes. Make sure to grab anything that might cause problems.”

“Fuck. And just when I was winning too.”

As the gambling thugs threw down their cards and were about to head towards the office, something happened.

Beep-beep-beeeep-!

Bang-!

“Wha- what the!”

Weeooo- Weeooo-

With a loud roar of its horn, a truck smashed through the factory’s door. This was soon followed by the sound of police sirens. Dozens of police cars pulled onto the scene and a familiar group of men rushed into the factory. These were the detectives from the first and second teams of the Violent Crime Task Force.

“This is the police!”

“Everyone raise your hands and stay where you are!”

“Throw down your knives!”

The detectives made eye-contact with the dazed Wang Ong-Gu. Their expressions were filled with subtle complexities as they aimed their guns at him. But there was no denying the feelings of anger and betrayal burning in their eyes.

Go Ji-Hun got out of the truck and said sternly, “We’ve caught the worm red-handed.”

This sudden turn left Wang Ong-Gu’s and the rest of his conspirators reeling, their expressions making for quite a sight.

“Wha-what the fuck…?”

The members of the Joongmae Gang appeared confused as they turned to look between Wang Ong-Gu and the other police officers. They were wondering if this was a trap or a betrayal. Left speechless in confusion, they obediently raised their hands.

Wang Ong-Gu also slowly raised his hands, but then he began calmly making excuses.

“This is a misunderstanding. I also just arrived here. I came here to check things out after receiving a tip-off-”

“Bullshit! Aren’t you ashamed to be wearing that badge?” Black roared in repressed fury.

Wang Ong-Gu’s eyes started rolling around, looking for an exit. He appeared to be at his wits end.

“This is a member of your family that you’re talking to. Shouldn’t you be giving me the benefit of the doubt? How heartbreaking.”

This guy was being stubborn until the very end. Including myself, our team’s faces twisted in disgust. If he would just admit his mistake at this final moment and repent, it wouldn’t leave such a bad taste in our mouths.

“Hey you,” I called out to the guy who was holding onto Wang Ong-Gu’s handphone.

Because I was also pointing my gun at him, he appeared quite nervous.

He kept his hands close to his ears as he stuttered out his reply, “M-me?”

“Put that down on the ground, carefully.”

The handphone was an item that could prove Wang Ong-Gu’s guilt. Along with the ledger, it would become an important piece of evidence for this case. Feeling all our eyes land on him, the man slowly lowered the handphone onto the floor. Then the Team Leader gave the signal to clear the room with a nod of his head.

“Ah, h-hold on a moment!”

“Shit!”

The factory instantly became a chaotic mess. The foreigner and her interpreter were quickly handcuffed and made to lie on the ground, but the Joongmae Gang members continued to put up a futile resistance. They tried to hide themselves among the containers and the industrial machinery as they looked for a chance to escape.
