Episode 236. Crime District

“This should be enough, so tell all the agents to rest. You should rest too. You’re living with your day and night reversed right now, aren’t you?”

– Ah, I’m perfectly fine.

“If fatigue accumulates like that, your body will suddenly break down at some point. Tomorrow’s mission will be carried out by Kim Su-hyeok according to the plan we’ve set up, so rest for now. Focus on your work as a prosecutor too.”

– Understood.

 

Since he was participating in operations matching the schedule of Brazilian agents from Korea, Han Hae-woon was suffering a double burden, going back and forth between his main job and operations day and night.

 

“Oh, do you usually use a long wallet or a regular wallet?”

– Excuse me? You mean me? A regular wallet is the one that folds in half, right? I use that one.

“Got it. I’m going to sleep too, so make sure to rest.”

 

Yeon-woo confirmed on screen that the agents had safely withdrawn, then terminated the connection with the communication server.

 

“I need to be careful about fatigue accumulation too. When I rest, I should rest properly. I’ll probably push myself a bit tomorrow.”

 

He organized the communication equipment properly and lay down on the bed relatively early today.

 

***

 

When morning came, Yeon-woo went to the fitness center located inside the hotel for his morning workout as usual, then went down to have a light breakfast.

 

“Good morning.”

“I slept well thanks to you. But Min-su hyung, you had room service late into the night, can you still eat breakfast too?”

“Hotel breakfast is something you come down for even when you’re not hungry, just to spread some jam on a piece of bread, isn’t it?”

 

Yeon-woo smiled at Kim Min-su’s words.

 

“What about Ye-eun sister?”

“Well, I rang the doorbell on my way here, but seeing that she didn’t come out of her room, I guess she’s sleeping?”

 

Yeon-woo simply got some food from the buffet-style breakfast and sat down.

 

“Yeon-woo sir, good morning.”

“Enjoy your breakfast.”

“Ah, yes. Good morning.”

 

The models and YouTubers who had gotten somewhat acquainted with him through yesterday’s conversations greeted Yeon-woo, and he lightly acknowledged them with a nod.

 

Meanwhile, Kim Min-su, who had gotten his food, came and sat across from Yeon-woo.

 

“Hm? Didn’t you say it would just be spreading jam on a piece of bread?”

 

Contrary to those words, Kim Min-su’s plate was quite generously loaded with various items.

 

“Ahem, that’s just an expression. Please go ahead and eat, actor.”

 

Lee Ye-eun seemed to be making constant efforts to help Kim Min-su lose weight, so there was no need for Yeon-woo to add stress, so he quietly nodded and picked up his fork.

 

“Actually, Min-su hyung has a large frame to begin with, so even with some weight on him, he doesn’t look fat but just has a good build.”

“R-right?”

 

Yeon-woo nodded.

 

“I’m tall and have broad shoulders so I have a decent build myself, but to protect me in crowds, it’s better to have someone with an even bigger build than me.”

“No, that’s exactly what I think too. But Ye-eun is dying to devour me.”

“Who’s devouring who?”

 

At Lee Ye-eun’s voice from behind, Kim Min-su flinched and turned around.

 

“Y-Ye-eun.”

“Who’s saying anything about oppa building up his physique? I keep telling you to build it through exercise, don’t I? I’m not telling you to lose weight, I’m controlling your diet to prevent adult diseases like diabetes. Your liver levels came back bad this time too!”

“T-that’s true…”

 

Seeing Kim Min-su immediately deflate, Yeon-woo smiled.

It seemed like the right timing to change the subject and rescue him.

 

“By the way, Min-su hyung. We have absolutely no schedule today and tomorrow, right?”

“Yes, yes! Today’s second concert will proceed without streaming or broadcast, so you don’t need to attend, and SL Electronics’ official event schedule starts the day after tomorrow.”

 

Yeon-woo nodded at Kim Min-su’s words.

 

However, even though there was no official schedule, Yeon-woo was planning to be busy today.

 

‘To be certain, I really need to do it myself.’

 

***

 

After lunchtime had passed and he had leisurely killed time, Yeon-woo came down to the lobby on the 1st floor.

 

Then an SL Electronics security agent approached him.

 

“Is there anything you need?”

“Um, no. I just want to do some shopping inside the hotel.”

“Ah, shopping. I believe the shops are in the connected annex building. I’ll guide you right away.”

“You don’t need to, but thank you as always.”

 

Yeon-woo followed the security agent toward the annex building connected by a passage to the main hotel building where the guest rooms were.

 

“Then please have a good time.”

“Yes, thank you for bringing me here.”

 

Yeon-woo turned toward where the shops were, but the security agent didn’t move from the passage and stood guard there.

 

‘Hmm, I guess that person is in charge of my security.’

 

When security agents work in three shifts, while one team stands guard, the team that just finished their shift immediately goes to sleep, and the remaining team rests in standby mode.

 

In this way, when a VIP moves around, one agent from the standby team follows along and waits from a distance like that to prevent any possible accidents.

 

‘I’ve always been the one providing security, so it’s interesting to have the roles reversed like this.’

 

Yeon-woo entered the select shop filled with luxury goods.

 

And he began spending money without hesitation.

 

“I’ll take this bag and that bag too, one of each. Hmm, please include that wallet as well.”

“Ah, yes. Understood.”

 

With the arrival of a big-spending customer, the staff member busily worked their hands, checking the items Yeon-woo mentioned for any defects.

 

While he spent quite some time shopping and purchasing various luxury items like bags, wallets, and clothes, Manager Kim Min-su, who had asked the security personnel about Yeon-woo’s whereabouts, entered the annex building.

 

“Actor?”

“Hm? Min-su hyung?”

“You weren’t in your room or the lobby, so I asked the security personnel.”

“Ah, I was doing some shopping.”

 

Kim Min-su tilted his head seeing the shopping bags clutched in Yeon-woo’s hands.

 

“You don’t usually buy luxury goods and such, so what made you do so much shopping?”

 

Then Yeon-woo handed some of the shopping bags he was holding to Kim Min-su.

 

“Ah, yes. Please give me the others too. I’ll carry them.”

“No. What I just gave you is for you and Sister Ye-eun.”

“Pardon?”

“We came on an overseas trip, so I should buy gifts. This is for my family, and this is for our Saebyeol actors.”

 

Of course, among them was also a wallet for Han Hae-woon and clothing gifts for the other two agents.

 

Kim Min-su knew that the only luxury Yeon-woo had indulged in so far was the car he bought when he turned twenty, so the shopping spree seemed strange to him, but now he understood why Yeon-woo had purchased so many luxury goods.

 

“Oh my, you didn’t need to buy something for me too.”

“Of course I should. You’re the closest and most grateful person to me, like family. Since all of this needs to be declared at customs when we enter the country, please help me organize it a bit later.”

 

Kim Min-su’s heart swelled more from Yeon-woo’s words about considering him like family than from the luxury goods in his hands.

This actor always touched his heart with words spoken so casually like this.

 

“Min-su hyung, isn’t there anything else you need? Please choose something.”

“Oh no, this is enough.”

“Come on, it’s fine, so please choose something. How about this jacket? Though it might be awkward since Korea will be summer soon.”

 

As Yeon-woo kept insisting, Kim Min-su waved his hands and stepped back.

 

“Then, I’ll go give this to Ye-eun right away!”

 

As he continued to insist, Kim Min-su made his escape.

 

‘Hmm, finally sent him away.’

 

Of course, giving gifts was one purpose, but there was another reason.

Han Hae-woon’s voice reached Yeon-woo’s ears.

 

– Lambda has entered the target building.

 

Lambda is Kim Su-hyeok.

 

This meant Kim Su-hyeok had entered the lobby of the hotel where Yeon-woo was staying.

 

‘It must be 4 PM already.’

 

He must have infiltrated the hotel timing it with the security personnel’s shift change.

 

When people generally think about a sniper’s abilities, they only think of sniping skills that accurately hit targets from far away.

 

But snipers are required to have many other abilities besides that.

 

A representative example is the ability to secretly infiltrate target locations.

 

No matter how far the sniping distance, a bullet that leaves the muzzle plummets nearly 5 meters downward in just 1 second due to gravity.

 

Considering that most people are under 2 meters tall, this is a very significant drop.

 

As the distance increases, that margin of error grows larger, so unless you plan to shoot high into the sky and drop bullets down to hit the target, you must secretly get close to where the target is.

 

‘Usually, no matter how far you snipe from, you need to get within 2km, so it’s essentially right in the heart of enemy territory.’

 

It doesn’t end with sniping.

Since you must survive and return alone from enemy territory that’s been put on high alert, secretly escaping is also important.

 

A sniper should be considered an assassin, just with a longer striking distance.

 

Kim Su-hyeok, who had killed his presence and blended in among other people to enter, moved to blind spots avoiding the eyes of security personnel dispatched from SL Electronics.

 

– Lambda is approaching the annex building.

 

As soon as he arrived at the hotel, pretending to take a walk while considering all the CCTV shooting angles that Han Hae-woon and he had identified in advance, there was a perfect blind spot inside the hotel.

 

‘The pillar in the aisle between the main building and annex building.’

 

Kim Su-hyeok approached the annex building aisle with ghostly movements, set down a shopping bag behind the pillar, and turned around.

 

A shopping bag filled with items that could never pass through customs or security teams.

 

– Delivered to the target location.

“Okay.”

 

Yeon-woo stopped shopping and turned his steps.

 

Carrying shopping bags in both hands, he headed toward the passage leading to the main building when the waiting security guard approached.

 

Of course, Yeon-woo had been watching him from earlier, but he looked at him as if he had just noticed and said.

 

“Oh? You didn’t leave and were waiting?”

“There are no security team staff assigned to the annex building, so I was standing by in case any problems arose.”

“I see. Thank you. I shopped for too long, didn’t I.”

“Not at all. Let’s go. I’ll carry them for you.”

 

Then Yeon-woo shook his head.

 

“No, it’s okay. I appreciate the kindness, but if someone sees, there might be rumors about me abusing my position. I’ll carry them myself. Thank you.”

“Abusing your position? Honestly, you seem to have the best character among all the people who came this time.”

“Is that so.”

 

The security guard walked ahead and Yeon-woo followed behind.

 

Then at some point, Yeon-woo slightly stepped aside and brushed past near a pillar.

And the number of shopping bags in Yeon-woo’s hands increased by one without anyone knowing.

 

***

 

Returning to his room, Yeon-woo roughly placed the luxury gifts to one side and opened the shopping bag that Kim Su-hyeok had brought.

 

‘Hmm, everything’s here properly.’

 

An American brand smartphone and laptop, a bundle of Brazilian currency, and a mysterious green circuit board made by soldering together several ECUs, which are car parts.

 

In addition, a pistol and a lightweight tactical bulletproof vest called JPC, and finally a silicone disguise mask made to fit Yeon-woo’s face.

 

There’s a very useful method for catching pests at home.

Crush castella into small pieces and mix it with an appropriate amount of boric acid powder sold at pharmacies.

Then place that powder in various places around the house.

Then the pests that eat the castella and return to their nests share it with other pests, and they all die together with their bellies turned upside down.

 

‘The smartphone, laptop, and cash are the castella, and the mysterious green circuit board is the boric acid powder.’

 

Since this operation to be carried out at night required considerable acting ability, it was certain that Yeon-woo would perform it himself.

 

Examining the silicone disguise face that Han Hae-woon had made by molding Yeon-woo’s face in Korea in advance, Yeon-woo grinned.

 

“Tonight, I’ll be running around in the field directly after a long time.”
