Episode 492: Changing Incheon (5)
Taejun Moon could not believe his ears.
I could not accept my subordinate’s report with common sense.
“… … Jo Min-woo lost? “No, he’s dead?”
“yes. Jo Min-woo died during the promotion examination with Lee Tae-seong, and all 31 people currently known to be in Incheon have passed the promotion examination. How do we handle this? “For now, they have been detained to prevent them from returning to Incheon, but there is no justification for punishing them just because they are in Incheon.”
“This is crazy.”
I felt dizzy.
Thirty-one people passed.
That alone is shocking, but the problem is that Cho Min-woo, a valuable talent for the central government, has died.
‘Cho Min-woo is the person of Geumcheon-gu lawmaker Dal-soo Dal. I had a hard time borrowing my strength to handle this matter, but if it was revealed that Jo Min-woo was dead, there would be an uproar. Damn it. How is this possible? As the intelligence department found out, it was impossible for Lee Tae-seong to defeat Jo Min-woo, but everyone in his direct unit, including him, passed the promotion test. ‘There are changes happening in Incheon that I don’t know about.’
My mouth was dry.
It is said that the central government’s investigators exercise great power over local governments, but district council members like Dal-su Dal-su tell a different story.
Just because it is a district council member does not mean that Geumcheon-gu has a ‘council’ including Dalseongsu.
This also originated from the abnormal structure of the Republic of Korea, where district councilors were in charge of running a district as beings who only obeyed the orders of the President of the Republic of Korea.
blast furnace.
Dal-su Dal-su was the king of Geumcheon-gu.
Moon Tae-jun used him in the background, and because of this incident, Jo Min-woo, whom he cherished, died.
‘Rep. Jo Dal-soo will never let this incident go by. The problem is that I pushed for this, so if it continues like this, I could end up taking full responsibility.’
It was a simple problem.
In a situation where less than 30 A-level hunters in Korea died, and a valuable talent directly connected to Rep. Cho Dal-soo’s power died, there was a need for a scapegoat to pay the price.
Even if it was an investigator like myself, I couldn’t avoid it.
With Jo Min-woo’s death, Geumcheon-gu’s power would weaken, so it was clear that anger would be relieved.
I was at a loss.
There was no way to solve the problem in any way.
In that case, Moon Tae-jun needed to redirect Jo Dal-su’s anger as much as possible.
Taejun Moon said.
“Lee Tae-seong. Arrest him for intentional murder right now.”
* * *
Lee Tae-seong was moved to another location.
It was a space used as a warehouse at the promotion testing center, but it was turned into a temporary interrogation room.
It was an ugly atmosphere.
With the capital’s guardians guarding the area, Moon Tae-jun entered the interrogation room and met Lee Tae-seong.
Take off.
“Lee Tae-seong. Please keep in mind that from now on, every conversation we have will be recorded. Ask directly. “Why on earth did you intentionally kill Jo Min-woo, the promotion tester?”
“… … There was no intentional intent to kill. “The opponent was trying to attack me, so I just countered him.”
“I guess so. “I should say that.”
Taejun Moon twitched.
Lee Tae-seong will be innocent.
Moon Tae-jun knew the truth because he was the one who gave the order to Jo Min-woo, but from now on, the truth was not important at all.
Lee Tae-seong was used as a scapegoat.
By dealing with him as someone who will take on his own sins and as a person with A-level power, we will be able to weaken the power of the Incheon government.
One kill, two wins.
The crisis was turned into an opportunity.
Taejun Moon said.
“The examiner who was observing the situation at the time said this. The fight between the two was an area of testing, and you suddenly used a heinous move by blowing off Jo Min-woo’s head. Lee Tae-seong. That’s why you’re here. The atmosphere can get rough during the promotion review process, but no one uses such cruel methods as to blow off the opponent’s head. We think it was intentionally killed, and the problem is that the person you killed was none other than A-rank hunter Jo Min-woo. “He is a valuable talent that is indispensable to the Republic of Korea.”
“I request a formal trial. “My actions were clearly self-defense.”
“It’s self-defense. “If you were a member of the central government, your excuse would be acceptable.”
Opponent’s weakness.
It was his affiliation.
The fact that he was a member of the Incheon government added weight to Moon Tae-jun’s words.
“The Incheon government committed treason by openly rebelling against the central government. You said you would take your own path, but that is an issue that cannot simply be accepted as a separate area. Why? There is no area like Incheon anywhere in Korea. Incheon Bay was the only city that protested against the central government’s orders, so I think this incident may be an extension of the protest. “It was a heinous incident in which you, who had a rebellious spirit against the central government, deliberately killed the central government’s valuable personnel.”
“W-what is that!”
“So, hurry up and confess. That’s the truth. If you tell the truth, I’ll let you live a not-so-bad life in prison. But if you continue to deny the truth, you will be exiled to the North.”
North.
The land that once housed North Korea was reduced to ruins during the first catastrophe.
The land that could no longer be inhabited was filled with monsters, and every time a great disaster broke out, monsters flooded in from the north, causing the Republic of Korea to form a defensive wall centered around Cheorwon.
Expulsion there means dying painfully.
Looking at Moon Tae-jun’s eyes shining with murderous intent, Lee Tae-seong knew that the truth would not work.
The opponent has already decided on the correct answer.
Taesung Lee swallowed his words and remained silent as he tried to somehow get the answer he wanted.
‘If it is said that it was Incheon’s doing, Moon Tae-jun will try to wipe out the Incheon government by putting forward the central government.’
That couldn’t be allowed.
rather.
will die
In Incheon, a new hope appeared in Roman Dmitry, and Kim Jun-hyuk was finally realizing his dream of creating a strong Incheon.
I didn’t want to ruin that dream.
He wanted to watch Incheon change with him, but he didn’t want the entire Incheon to bear the consequences of his actions.
I felt resentful towards myself.

If only I were stronger.
If someone was skilled enough to defeat Jo Min-woo without killing him, a situation like this could have been avoided.
“… … .”
Continued silence.
Lee Tae-seong’s will was conveyed.
That wasn’t bad either.
Moon Tae-jun was about to kill Lee Tae-seong to end this matter, but suddenly a guardian signaled from outside.
Squeak.
“What’s going on?”
“Roman Dmitry came from Incheon to meet with investigator Taejun Moon.”
“Roman Dmitri?”
It was an unexpected name.
He, who had disappeared for a month, suddenly appeared in Seoul.
Taejun Moon laughed.
“That’s fun. Guide me right away. “Where, Roman Dmitry, I need to check that liar’s face.”
* * *
It was a familiar sight.
Taejun Moon, Roman Dmitry, and Junhyuk Kim.
As they sat facing each other, Taejun Moon smiled bitterly.
“Where have you been all this time? Well, that has nothing to do with this case, so I won’t bother answering. However, the charge of Lee Tae-seong, a member of the Incheon government, for intentionally killing Jo Min-woo, a grade-A hunter who is a valuable talent in Korea, is a serious crime that cannot be resolved with any excuse.”
Squeak.
I crossed my legs.
This is Seoul.
The fact that it was the home of the central government gave Moon Tae-jun infinite power.
however.
“You’re talking nonsense.”
“… … what?”
Roman Dmitry reacted coldly.
Unable to accept this in his head, Taejun Moon distorted his expression and tried to shoot the opponent.
Previously.
Roman Dmitry spoke first.
“Investigator Taejun Moon. Why do you think I was polite in my relationship with you, even though your hostility toward Incheon is clear? Because of the power you have? Because of the existence of a central government? no. Because many lives depend on our conversation. “The words and actions of those in power carry a certain responsibility.”
“What are you talking about?”
“I’m telling you to speak carefully. Because what you say, all of your people could die.”
I gave him a look.
Even though he was not called, Kim Jun-hyuk knew that it was his turn to step forward.
“All hunters in the direct unit wear body cameras. The video I shot with it was immediately sent to me, and thanks to that, I was able to check the situation at the time without having to share the test video at the upgrade testing center. This is the data. If you check the video, you can see that Jo Min-woo already blatantly showed his intent to kill before Lee Tae-seong murdered Jo Min-woo. I would like to ask Investigator Taejun Moon. Whose intention was this? “Is it right for Lee Tae-seong to meekly accept death against someone who rushes in to kill him first?”
Okay.
I handed over the data.
Taejun Moon’s eyes wavered.
Fraudulent accusation begins with excluding the other party’s evidence, but I did not expect to secure evidence like this.
Everything was unexpected.
Roman Dmitry’s attitude.
Kim Jun-hyuk’s evidence.
At that moment of panic, I heard Roman Dmitry’s cold voice.
“The information obtained by Incheon is clear. The central government has been blatantly keeping the Incheon government in check, and has shown intent to kill Incheon’s valuable talent, Lee Tae-seong, during the exam. And when it failed, I passed the blame on to Lee Tae-seong. Investigator Taejun Moon. From now on, I intend to accept the central government’s actions as a declaration of war against Incheon. “What do you think about this?”
* * *
I was out of breath.
I was embarrassed.
The words Roman Dmitry uttered were an area that was not permitted to a weak group like the Incheon government.
‘The Incheon guys are obviously crazy. Otherwise, how dare you even dare to declare war against the central government!’
Declaration of war.
I got goosebumps.
Actually, I thought that if I threatened appropriately, the other person would back down.
Although that was the common sense approach, things did not go as he wanted from start to finish.
I was furious.
This was not a problem that could just be overlooked.
Moon Tae-jun expressed explosive anger at the sharp eyes looking at him.
Quang!
“What are we going to do now?!”
I raised my voice.
There was no reason to be scared by the other person’s threats.
In the small land mass called the Republic of Korea, the central government boasted of an omnipotent power that could not be challenged.
Incheon?
Things like that can be swept away in a day.
“You crazy bastards. As expected, my prediction was right. You probably intended to commit treason against the central government from the beginning, and that’s why you had Lee Tae-seong kill Jo Min-woo. Do you think you will be safe in Korea even if you act like that? You can look forward to it. I will immediately contact my superiors and report your atrocities, and the President will not allow a heinous group like you to run amok. Roman Dmitry. “This is where the threats of fraudsters like you end up working.”
I got up from my seat.
I was just about to leave.
“that word. “I will take this as a declaration of war.”
“as you please… … .”
Sigh.
Quang!
It was a sudden situation.
I tried to ignore Roman Dmitry’s words, but before he could finish his sentence, his face fell on the table.
Kwasik.
The table was broken.
Blood splattered from my face.
The capital guardians hurriedly tried to draw their weapons, but they were unable to move as if they had been enchanted.
Powerful killing energy.
My body stiffened.
The guardians’ faces turned pale as they faced a predator they could not fight against.
Roman Dmitry looked at them and said:
“Just give me 10 minutes. Bring my people. and… … .”
Quad, quack, quack.
“Kaaaaaaak!”
Taejun Moon’s face was crushed on the floor.
A broken piece of the table hit his face, and Taejun Moon let out a piercing scream.
“Bring someone higher than this guy. “Not as just an investigator, but as someone who can handle war.”
