He’s the Legendary Guard, Isn’t He? Chapter 89

Episode 87

Kang Baek was still dazed by this situation.

In front, Si-hyeon and Jang Hak-gi are walking side by side.

Jang Hak-gi was so famous that Kang Baek, who had no interest in politics, knew about him.

It was impossible not to know because it appeared frequently in political news.

In comparison, Sihyeon was an ordinary prison guard whom he met every day when he came to work.

That’s why it feels so strange to see two people like that together.

There was no sign of Sihyeon having any difficulties with it either.

Usually, when dealing with someone who is that much older and has a much higher social status, it is normal to have difficulty even if you have some level of familiarity with them.

The more Kangbaek thought about it, the more questions he felt.

It wasn’t just Kangman who was looking at them.

The police officers around them were also looking at them with curious eyes.

It was already known to the police officers at the scene that Si-hyeon was the prison guard who caught Kang Tae-eun.

However, the guard was looking at me curiously as he was walking side by side with a completely unexpected person named Jang Hak-gi, as if he was close with him.

“What, a relative?”

“I guess so?”

I could hear the sound of a conversation being exchanged somewhere.

They thought they were related because they had not heard any conversation inside the tent.

They seemed so friendly that it seemed that way.

“I’m jealous. It turned out that he was a person with a lot of money. I wonder if a person without a background would live in shame.”

“That’s right. I’m jealous that you caught Kang Tae-eun, and I’m jealous that you’re there too.”

Some police officers looked at Sihyeon enviously.

“Thank you for your hard work today.”

Si-hyeon spoke near Jang Hak-gi’s car.

The way he spoke was different from when he was in the tent.

There, he saved face for the sake of Jang Hak-gi’s prestige, but now there was no need to do so, so he treated him comfortably.

“No, I just did what I had to do.”

Scholarship was also received politely.

“I’ll call you if I need anything in the future, so keep up the good work.”

“Please call me at any time, manager.”

Jang Hak-ki’s attitude was that of a new employee towards the group president.

I didn’t lower my head because the police were watching around me. Otherwise, I would have already bowed my head several times out of politeness.

“I’ll see you later then.”

Sihyeon said that and turned his back to leave.

Jang Hak-gi called Si-hyeon.

“Would you like to take my car, sir? I will take you home comfortably.”

“It’s okay. I brought the car, and my younger brother is there too… See you later.”

Si-hyeon waved his hand to indicate rejection and then tried to approach Kang-baek.

At that time, a notification window appeared.

[When you captured the escaped death row inmate and led him to his death, thereby restoring the guards’ tarnished honor, Poachim’s bad mood returned to normal.]

[Strength +40, Agility +40, Wisdom +20, Stamina +40, Mental Strength +20 recovery]

‘It’s finally arrived.’

When the notification that the quest had been resolved appeared, I felt like everything that had happened today was completely over.

No matter how you think about it, this was a good thing.

I made a great contribution, and was able to complete the tiresome undercover work in a short period of time.

I felt really lucky.

I expected that I would run into Kang Tae-eun someday because of the quest, but I didn’t know that that day would come much sooner than expected.

Sihyeon started moving again after stopping for a moment.

“Let’s go, Kang Baek.”

◈ ◈ ◈

“How do you know CEO Jang Hak-gi?”

As soon as Sihyeon started the car and started the car, Kangbaek asked with curious eyes.

It seemed like he had been waiting the whole time for an opportunity to ask that question.

“It’s just that. It just happened.”

“Hey, what is that? Please tell me, brother. I’m curious.”

“Are you that curious?”

“Yes, I’m really curious.”

Kangbaek, who was sitting in the passenger seat, looked at Sihyeon’s side face with a stronger curious look.

“Okay, okay, okay.”

Sihyeon responded as if she had no choice.

In fact, even if he were in Kang Baek’s position, he would have been just as curious.

However, I couldn’t tell the truth about the eventful events that happened with Jang Hak-gi, but I felt like I would have to make it up.

Sihyeon continued speaking.

“You know I worked at the Korean Prison, right?”

“Yes, I know.”

“Jang Hak-gi was imprisoned there.”

“Oh yeah?”

Kang Baek spoke as if he didn’t know.

I had heard that he had been arrested, but I did not know where he was detained.

“Yes. And the place where that person was imprisoned was the place I was in charge of. Our life at that time became a fate, right?”

“I see. It was a connection from the prison, not from society. But is it possible for a prison guard to become that friendly with an inmate? I worked for a while and it didn’t work that way.”

Kang Baek looked at me with curious eyes.

The relationship between correctional officers and inmates is purely work-based.

Moreover, most of the prisoners did not want to remember what happened inside.

That’s why I heard that the majority of inmates are reluctant to even meet familiar prison guards when they are released.

So it was natural to look at it with wonder that a prisoner had become acquainted with a famous politician.

“Each person is different. As someone who had been a politician for a long time, being incarcerated was very difficult for me. He helped me adapt. However, he did not give me any special convenience, but he kindly taught me one by one how to deal with incarceration. Should I do it?”

“Wow… So you inspired me. That’s amazing.”

“It’s not that great.”

Sihyeon said with a grin.

In fact, we have been through all sorts of things while exchanging pain with each other.

This side even requests assassination, and this side uses shouting to make people suffer.

Even though it was because I made it up, I laughed when I heard the word inspiration.

After saying those words, Kang Baek did not ask any more questions about his relationship with Jang Hak-gi.

Instead, the topic turned to the Kang Tae-eun incident.

“It ended well, right, brother?”

Kang Baek asked as if to confirm.

I felt uneasy for some reason because I was suddenly released while being investigated by the police.

“Relax. We are not criminals and what are you going to do? Don’t worry about it and just relax.”

Sihyeon answered as if there was no need to worry at all.

“Still, the person who seems to be the head of the department seemed to have a plan. He kept asking my brother about the assault… and the way he looked at me seemed like he had malicious intent towards my brother.”

“It doesn’t matter. You saw it too. That human appearance at the end.”

Sihyeon burst into laughter as she remembered Park Cheol-gon’s crumpled expression.

“Haha, that was definitely refreshing. It’s so pitiful that the head of the division put a lot of pressure on his shoulders and spoke informally… and then started shaking with a pale face.”

Kang Baek also seemed to feel a bit relieved by that scene.

As he said that, he had a savory smile on his face.

“Oh, by the way, brother.”

“why?”

“Why on earth is that person like that? I have no idea. When I brought up something about an entertainment establishment, his expression got sour.”

“I don’t know either.”

“If you find out later, please tell me. I’m really curious.”

“Okay, I get it.”

“Oh, and by the way, wouldn’t experiencing such humiliation only make you resent me even more? It takes a while.”

“Of course you can. You can, but you don’t have to worry at all this time. So don’t worry about it either.”

Sihyeon said with a look on her face that there was no need to think.

Park Cheol-gon had a critical weakness.

In that state, not even Park Cheol-gon, but even a more vicious person, would not have dared to move.

“Can I really think like that?”

“That’s right. Instead of worrying about people like that and stressing about them, just think about special promotions.”

“Hmm, I understand. Special promotion, special promotion, special promotion. Ah… as long as it works, there really is nothing more to wish for.”

Kang Baek muttered with an earnest expression.

<00Newspaper>

-The tense moments from Kang Tae-eun’s arrest to his death.

Kang Tae-eun was arrested 11 months after her escape.

Kang Tae-eun’s (hereinafter referred to as Kang) life as a fugitive came to an end when he was arrested by his aunt’s lieutenant at around 8:30 pm on the 17th, and he died at around 8:45 pm.

Kang’s arrest was so dramatic that it was reminiscent of a movie.

The time when Lieutenant Lee and fellow Lieutenant Na encountered the river at a restaurant at Baekun Lake in Uiwang-si was 7:56 p.m.

Lieutenant Lee did not recognize the river at first.

In order to avoid being searched, Kang had undergone plastic surgery on his face and his appearance had changed significantly.

However, at this time, Lieutenant Lee’s keen insight and intuition shone through.

Superintendent Lee did not recognize him as Kang, but from his experience dealing with many criminals in correctional facilities, he could sense the scent of a criminal in every little detail.

Although he came to eat alone at a luxury restaurant, he seemed suspiciously oblivious to the gaze of those around him.

And looking at that, I remembered the characteristics of criminals who lack empathy.

Moreover, he happened to be about 170cm tall, similar to Kang, and his face definitely looked unnatural.

Most people get plastic surgery to have a more beautiful appearance, but it seemed like he did it because he didn’t want anyone to recognize him.

At that time, my uncle thought that he might be a river.

Bishop Namo also agreed with that opinion.

Eventually they decided to pursue.

As soon as the river finished eating and left, they stopped eating and quickly chased after the river.

The breathtaking trail continued all the way to Cheonggyesan Mountain.

And there they witnessed a shocking sight.

Kang was about to commit murder on a woman he had kidnapped.

Lieutenant Lee rushed to stop the river, and Lieutenant Na protected the woman.

Kang used a sharp sashimi knife as a weapon, and Lieutenant Lee fought back with his bare hands.

Although it was revealed later, Kang was awakened at this time, and Lieutenant Lee was a prison guard at the Ganghwa Island Special Detention Center and was a D-class awakened person.

Soon, Lieutenant Lee had to fight for his life.

Fortunately, Lieutenant Lee was able to subdue Kang without getting hurt.

After subduing Kang, Lieutenant Lee talked to Kang for some time.

It was then that he revealed himself as Kang.

But at this time, something strange happened.

Kang suddenly fell down, clutching his chest with a painful face, and was unable to get up.

Lieutenants Lee and Na rushed over and attempted CPR, but Kang did not regain consciousness.

The autopsy results showed a heart attack.

It was a vain end for the worst serial killer and fugitive.

With Kang’s death, the truth behind his mysterious escape is at risk of falling into the labyrinth.

◈ ◈ ◈

“congratulation.”

“congratulations.”

“Congratulations very much.”

“Really congratulations.”

This was the first time in Sihyeon’s life that she had received so many congratulatory messages.

For his contribution this time, he received a first-class special promotion, a commendation from the Minister of Justice, an encouragement of 5 million won, and a 10-day reward vacation.

I have never received or thought I would receive such an abundance of awards during my public career.

Above all, it was not a 9th or 8th grade, but a 1st grade special promotion from the 7th grade was enormous.

It’s been less than a year since I became 7th grade.

Considering that it takes an average prison guard more than 10 years to advance from level 7 to level 6, it was a jump of at least 10 years.

He received his rank at the age of only 32.

Even though it was not enough to pass the civil service examination, it was incredibly fast.

It was enough to make other prison guards envious.

“Really, congratulations, brother.”

Kang Baek also offered congratulatory words.

He did not receive the first-class promotion he had hoped for.

This was because it was judged from above that Si-hyeon had received all the valuable lessons that were decisive in capturing Kang Tae-eun.

However, I guess I had expected something like this to happen, so I felt a little bitter and soon returned to my normal self.

Still, I was fortunate to receive recognition, encouragement, and vacation time as a reward.

“I’m sorry I felt like I was inadvertently blowing the air.”

Sihyeon said with a bitter smile.

“Haha, no, brother. You’ve done everything, so why should I regret it? I’m completely satisfied with this level of reward.”

Kangbaek accepted Sihyeon’s words with a smile.

“Then that’s a good thing.”

“It’s true. Don’t worry at all. You’ll be the chief in just a little while.”

“Oh, it’s a bit awkward.”

Maybe it’s because he always calls himself manager, but it feels awkward to be the listener.

“Why? Does it sound good? Chief. Chief. Chief Lee Si-hyeon.”

Kang Baek said as if it was fun.

“…Hearing those words, I feel like I suddenly lost a lot of age.”

Sihyeon shook her head as she thought about the visuals of her superiors, whom she had called manager until now.

The image of an older person with sparse hair or wrinkles around the eyes and forehead was portrayed naturally.

“Then I will continue. Chief. Chief.”

Kang Baek joked.

Sihyeon smiled and pointed at the clock.

“Thank God. It’s time to get to work.”

Sihyeon got up first from the lounge and went back to Sadong.

The steps were lighter than usual.
