Episode 130

Beep- beep- beep-. The car made warning sounds due to the tremendous impact.

“What, what is it?”

Even the composed Chief Prosecutor was flustered. Through the rear window of the car he turned to look at, Yoon Jeong Woo’s figure was visible.

“How did that bastard get here….”

He came alone to stop the Chief Prosecutor, without police, without reporters, with just his bare hands.

As if he would end the war against the rule of law right here.

“Shit! The car’s fucking sturdy!”

Yoon Jeong Woo was mercilessly beating the trunk with a bat. The Chief Prosecutor’s subordinates who had been following behind the Chief Prosecutor’s car all came rushing out. They were CS Holdings’ Criminal Organization members.

“Hey you son of a bitch, you-!”

Bang!

Just before things got chaotic, a bullet cut through the air. The one who fired the blank cartridge into the air was,

“Everyone freeze. Please cooperate with the investigation.”

The rookie police officer. It was Myeong Jeha.

A heavy drum bass resembling a heartbeat played underneath. A tense standoff continued.

Myeong Jeha extended his hand holding the gun and sent a warning gaze to everyone.

People came out chattering from the cars that had stopped due to the traffic control. If more attention was drawn like this, it would be big trouble.

Thump thump thump thump-. The music got faster and faster.

“Step on the gas!”

“What? But, but there’s someone in front….”

“I said step on it!”

The Chief Prosecutor shouted. The driver hesitated then thought ‘whatever’ and stepped on the gas.

But Myeong Jeha, who was blocking the front of the car, didn’t dodge.

He had a resolute gaze as if he wasn’t afraid of being hit by a car.

Crash-! The sound of Myeong Jeha being hit by the car rang out.

Myeong Jeha clung directly to the windshield. His well-groomed hair fluttered in the wind.

Along with the sound of cymbals crashing, a picture-perfect action scene began.

Myeong Jeha smashed the side mirror with his fist. Screech-! The flustered driver’s tires scraping against the road made a loud noise.

While the car hesitated, Yoon Jeong Woo came running again with his bat. This time it wasn’t the trunk. He was aiming for the rear door’s window.

“The police officer! Is asking for! Fucking! Cooperation! Here!”

“What are you doing! Whether those crazy bastards live or die, just drive!”

The noble Chief Prosecutor’s true face was revealed. The driver’s hands trembled because of Myeong Jeha glaring at him intensely from the windshield.

Even though his forehead was bloody from the impact, Myeong Jeha didn’t close his eyes.

‘…Huh….’

The results of analyzing the person before my eyes quickly accumulated in my head.

Anger toward corrupt superiors, desperation that it had to be now or never, anguish over child victim cases, disgust wanting to kill them all.

And with those emotions, I retraced and looked back at my Seo Ryeong’s actions one by one.

‘Probably, my Seo Ryeong is… here….’

But just one thing, one thing was lacking, giving me a feeling like I could almost grasp it but not quite.

Before I knew it, Yoon Jeong Woo had grabbed the gun that Myeong Jeha was barely holding in his hand.

Then bang-! One shot at the tire, and once more bang-! One shot at the trunk.

Along with that, with a clunk sound, the trunk that seemed like it would never open finally opened.

It was the moment the Chief Prosecutor’s corruption was exposed to the world.

“You… you little vermin…. Can you handle it? A guy who’s not even a detective firing guns in broad daylight?”

Through the cracked window, the Chief Prosecutor, still sitting in his luxury sedan, mocked him.

His confidence that he could pressure with the law as much as he wanted remained intact.

“Handle it?”

Clunk-. Yoon Jeong Woo, who walked to the trunk, said.

“That’s what you’ll be doing from now on.”

50,000 won bills fluttered through the air. Yellow papers embroidered the blue sky above.

People who had been caught in traffic control rushed in like demons. All the noise in the world subsided.

People scrambling to pick up money fluttering through the air were caught in slow motion.

The Chief Prosecutor’s escorts just stared blankly at the scene.

Yoon Jeong Woo didn’t give in and scattered the election slush fund like crazy.

Wee-ing- wee-ing-.

Siren sounds could be heard from far away. The detectives working with Yoon Jeong Woo had finally arrived.

Myeong Jeha, who was still clinging to the windshield, finally slowly relaxed his body.

Yoon Jeong Woo, who had been watching such Myeong Jeha, came running.

“Huh? Hey!”

Ding- dong- dang- dong-.

As Myeong Jeha collapsed to the ground, the faint sound of a school bell ending classes could be heard from a nearby elementary school.

The eyes of Myeong Jeha, who had fallen to the ground, finally changed.

His sharp gaze was now tinged with relief as if it was finally over.

“Ah, I forgot to bring handcuffs.”

Yoon Jeong Woo took out handcuffs from the collapsed Myeong Jeha’s jacket and approached the Chief Prosecutor again.

Myeong Jeha, still lying on the ground, chuckled as if it was absurd. The audience, whose tension had been released, laughed along.

But I alone couldn’t laugh.

The moment I saw Myeong Jeha’s face beyond the screen, the blurry Seo Ryeong in my head clearly revealed herself.

The moment Yoon Jeong Woo’s reporter came running late and made a clicking shutter sound. I clenched my fist filled with certainty.

‘…I got it.’

I hurriedly left the screening room. With trembling hands, I called Geum Bitkang. The ringtone rang briefly.

In the empty theater corridor, I stamped my feet and said.

“Professor, Professor, I. I found it.”

I finally found it.

What my Seo Ryeong was lacking.

A village isolated and corrupted due to undeveloped transportation. And the pitiful people crushed by those in power within it weren’t unique to 〈Strange Tales〉.

In 〈War Against the Rule of Law〉 too, people in places where light didn’t reach were used like sacrifices to those in power.

The past and present, which had seemed so distant, interlocked.

“They had no relationship at all. I mean, Jeongan and Seoryeong. They weren’t family, not master and disciple, really nothing at all, but….”

My heart pounded. The hand holding the cell phone trembled.

“Jeongan protected and cared for Seoryeong for such a long time. While wearing down her own life. Seoryeong must have kept that image in her heart.”

From beyond the receiver, Geum Bitkang remained silent as if waiting for my words.

“And there would be emotions she newly awakened while traveling around with Myeongdo….”

The scenario of 〈Strange Tales〉 that I had memorized unfolded in my head.

The woman who couldn’t have children but shared affection with her servants, the villagers who wanted to repay their debt by learning to write three characters of their names from Hun Do, the troupe leader who cared for an orphan girl, the many people she had exchanged words with while coming and going.

For the world where all those people could live together, the world that Myeongdo and his lord wanted….

“Responsibility.”

Myeong Jeha had shown a part of Seoryeong.

For a rookie police officer to pick the wrong side could really mean having to quit the force. It meant his entire life of preparing to become a police officer would be completely broken.

Moreover, the opponent was an authority figure who even used Criminal Organization members like dogs.

He could probably easily kill someone like Myeong Jeha, who had returned to being just an ordinary citizen rather than a police officer.

His job and his life. The rookie police officer risked everything and moved. Holding just a half-melted piece of candy in his hand.

To protect the world, to protect people from danger. Because he knew he was the only one who could do it. Because he knew he had to step forward.

Just like.

“What my Seo Ryeong was lacking was a sense of responsibility….”

Like Seoryeong.

-Good grief.

A small laugh could be heard.

-You found it quite quickly.

At that moment, the Status Window appeared.

It was finally complete.

100% Seo Ryeong.
