#127. Ordinarily. 7
The smiling voice of Prosecutor Kim Cheol-woong was heard immediately.
– Are you sure? If this goes wrong, I could end up like a dog chasing a chicken and staring at the roof. And I won't be the only one who ends up like that.
If you get hit in a row, you could be disciplined or even transferred to another area.
Woojin slowly nodded his head.
I make up my mind by thinking about the risks.
From the moment Prosecutor Kim Chul-woong got involved with Mirae Industries, many desires connected to Shinwha Group would have pressured him to close the case and let go.
But Prosecutor Kim Cheol-woong's desire was not far behind.
Whether it's justice or a desire to enter politics.
No, in Woojin’s view, Prosecutor Kim Chul-woong’s desire for justice and entry into politics was precariously balanced like a scale, influenced by his surroundings.
It didn't matter if it was biased to one side.
If the scale is tilted out of balance, we will add another weight to make it evenly balanced.
“Prosecutor Kim, I’m always rooting for you.”
-It sounds a bit soulless, but anyway, the problem is how to get in and capture the scene… … .
Through my investigation, I was able to find out that the place where Lee Yo-hwan throws his party has very tight security.
You couldn't even get in without an invitation.
“The plan is already finished. Just wait. So… … .”
After finishing the call, Woojin went into the coffee shop right next door.
I ordered a sweet hot chocolate and a slice of the coffee shop's signature cake.
Woojin, who soon received hot chocolate and cake, used a fork to bring the cake to his mouth.
And he shook his head.
The tartness of cherries and the sweetness of whipped cream were a fantastic harmony.
A hint of aegyo-sal appeared in Woojin's innocent eyes.
“It’s sweet.”
Woojin took a sip of his hot chocolate this time and looked out the window.
It was snowing.
People passing by stretched out their hands as if to touch the falling snow.
Among them were people making phone calls, parents buttoning up their children's clothes, and couples holding hands and looking forward to the future.
Woojin wrapped both his hands around her as if he was melting his hands in hot chocolate.
And he muttered while looking at the various people.
“You’d think it’d be warm….”
Even in winter.
At that moment, Woojin's cell phone vibrated.
The main character of the synesthete film that drew over 10 million viewers was Park In-hyeok.
"hello."
-Oh, Mr. Woojin. I was invited to a party.
Woojin had a request.
He asked me to approach Lee Yo-hwan's party, which is usually inaccessible.
Park In-hyeok was reluctant at first, but soon accepted willingly.
Because I received a lot from Woojin, not materially but in other things.
There wasn't much for him to do.
All I had to do was bring one person along.
And then it falls out.
“As expected, top stars like actor Park In-hyeok have a free pass wherever they go.”
-Don't say that. You know what? I feel like I'm making a movie more than a movie right now.
“Nothing will happen that will harm actor Park In-hyeok. Thank you for your favor.”
-What are you thankful for? I even turned down a sports car, so this is a small request.
“Just in case, be sure to wear a mask and hat.”
If we catch Lee Yo-hwan at the scene, the media will be in an uproar.
It was clear that there would be chaos as everyone there wanted to get involved.
But actor Park In-hyeok will be safe.

Kim Tae-hyun and Choi Ki-cheol were talking in the car.
Choi Ki-cheol said, looking at the luxury apartments outside the car window.
“Wow… … . I guess it’s because it’s the apartment where a top star lives. It’s really fancy. It’s really fancy.”
Kim Tae-hyun, who had been listening to Choi Ki-cheol's words, opened his mouth.
“This won’t work. I have to go in.”
Choi Ki-cheol made a face as if asking what was going on.
“Yes? Senior. Look in the mirror. There will be a lot of people there, including actors and such. If you go in, you will most likely be suspected.”
“Hey, you punk. What’s wrong with my face?”
“You look like a criminal.”
“What the heck, you little punk? Your face is… … .”
Knock. Knock. Knock.
Kim Tae-hyun's head turned to the side at the sound of knocking on the car.
And then I opened the car window.
“Detective Kim Tae-hyun? Hello. This is Park In-hyeok.”
“Oh my, loyalty. Would you like to ride?”
"yes."
Park In-hyeok, who was sitting in the backseat, had his face covered with a hat and mask.
Choi Gi-cheol reached out from the passenger seat.
“Oh my! I’m a fan! I enjoyed watching Synesthesia. I was deeply impressed by the detective acting. His acting was really good.”
But there was no reply to my request for an after-date from the girl I saw with her.
"thank you."
While the two were shaking hands, Kim Tae-hyun asked curiously.
“By the way, did you become close with Woojin on set?”
Woojin once worked as an extra for a synesthete.
But there was a time when he gave advice to Kim Min, who was invited there by chance and played a supporting role, about being a detective.
This was actually my first time meeting the main character, Park In-hyeok, like this.
But Woojin met top star Park Inhyeok while working as an extra?
It's hard to believe, but I thought that maybe it was possible for Woojin.
Kim Tae-hyun and Choi Ki-cheol stared at Park In-hyeok like that.
“Oh, a synesthete appeared together.”
Kim Tae-hyun nodded.
Even if he was an extra, he was still an appearance, and judging from the way he used the word 'together', he seemed like a person with a good personality.
“How did you become friends?”
“Woojin took on the role of the criminal. The role of a blind person. Naturally… … .”
Choi Ki-cheol scratched his head as if trying to interpret Park In-hyeok's words, and Kim Tae-hyeon let out a sigh.
“So. You’re saying that he wasn’t an extra, but a lead role? Woojin?”
“Yes. Didn’t you know? There was another criminal, but he was driving drunk… … .”
"ha ha ha!"
Choi Ki-cheol burst into laughter, and Kim Tae-hyun shook his head while holding the steering wheel.
“My little brother, he really does everything he wants to do.”
Without making yourself known.
Now I feel like an eccentric person.
I didn't really know how Woojin created the method and opportunity, but
If you want it, move and make it happen.
Looking at the two of them, Park In-hyeok briefly wondered if he had made a slip of the tongue.
And then he smiled awkwardly and said.
“Please don’t tell me I said that.”
Choi Ki-cheol asked with a curious look.
“How much did Woojin get paid for his appearance?”
“I don’t know for sure, but I think he received a lot. More than me.”
“So you moved… … .”

A sleek sports car was heading towards the entrance of a detached house that looked like a fancy penthouse.
There were places that looked like villas here and there, but none seemed more splendid than this one.
The sports car soon reached the entrance, rolled down its window and showed its face to the man guarding the main gate.
The man looked at Park In-hyeok's face with his mask down and then slightly lowered his head.
“Who is next to you?”
Park In-hyeok answered calmly.
“An actor who will rise soon.”
As the man looked at Choi Ki-cheol here and there, Park In-hyeok furrowed his brows.
“Are you going to make me stay here forever?”
“I’m sorry. The parking lot inside is full, so you’ll have to park outside and come in.”
Park In-hyeok chuckled.
A party for the children of the chaebols.
They didn't even consider celebrities.
But Park In-hyeok actually thought it was a good thing.
As Park In-hyeok turned the car around after receiving his greeting, Choi Ki-cheol muttered with a big smile.
“It’s brutal. It’s brutal.”
Choi Ki-cheol said as we stopped the car a little distance away.
“You can go now since I stamped your face. Thank you for driving.”
“Good luck.”
As soon as Choi Gi-cheol got out, Park In-hyeok drove off in his sports car.
Choi Ki-cheol headed straight back to the main gate and was able to pass through without any interference.
As he entered, the first thing that caught Choi Gi-cheol's eye was
It was a swimming pool.
Steam was rising from the hot water.
There was quite a lot of people playing in the water, as well as club music.
The sight was breathtaking as it even snowed.
“Money is good, right?”
“Gyaaaah!”
“Eat and die!”
“Drink!”
Choi Gi-cheol looked around while listening to the voices of young men and women who appeared to be children of a wealthy family.
Soon, Choi Gi-cheol's steps began to head toward the building.
It didn't matter if someone was drunk or high, breaking their head with a bottle, smashing things, or causing a ruckus.
There was one goal.
“Lee Yo-hwan… … Where is he?”
There were also a lot of people inside.
Some of them looked like celebrities, while others bragged about their companies.
The clothes also looked consistently luxurious.
Even blonde foreigners.
On the other hand, their gaze glanced at Choi Gi-cheol and then disappeared.
It was because I thought that the clothes that Choi Ki-cheol wore, even though he wrote that he was careful about it, were shabby.
At that moment, a voice that made Choi Ki-cheol nervous was heard from behind.
“The fairy has come?”
“Hey! Bro!”
“I heard there was a scandal article about Moon Si-young today. Is that true?”
Soon, Lee Yo-hwan's nervous voice was heard.
“Where is Moon Si-young?”
“In that room, it seems like they’re really worried and having a hard time because of the scandal we had today.”
Lee Yo-hwan spat out the words while snorting.
“That fucking bitch is just sitting there like a b*stard.”
Among the many rooms, Lee Yo-hwan moved briskly toward the room the man pointed to.
Choi Ki-cheol, who was watching the scene, wrote a message on his cell phone.
[Lee Yo-hwan's location has been secured]
On the other hand, the room that Lee Yo-hwan entered after suddenly opening the door was enough to make one think of a high-class karaoke room.
A man and a woman were sitting and drinking expensive whiskey when Moon Si-young, dressed in a one-piece dress, stood up from her seat and greeted Lee Yo-hwan.
She said as if she was scared, lifting her eyebrows up.
“Oppa, I was really worried… … . Gyaak!”
Lee Yo-hwan grabbed her hair and spat out his words.
“Hey, you bitch, you hired a reporter, right? You bitch who’s trying to get a job.”
“Oppa! What are you talking about! Why did I hire a reporter? Let’s talk about this! Okay!?”
Bam!
Her body, hit by Lee Yo-hwan's fist, powerlessly swept across the table.
Lee Yo-hwan nervously loosened his tie and extended his hand to the man next to him.
Soon the man placed a syringe in Lee Yo-hwan's hand.
Lee Yo-hwan roughly rolled up his sleeves and inserted the needle into a blood vessel.
at that time.
Bam!
Someone stumbled into the room.
It was none other than Choi Gi-cheol.
Everyone in the room's eyes were fixed on Choi Ki-cheol like arrows.
"who are you?"
When someone said that, Lee Yo-hwan furrowed his brows as if he was annoyed and glared at Choi Gi-cheol.
Choi Ki-cheol, who got up unsteadily, had his eyes wide open.
And then he covered his mouth and retched.
“Whew!”
He looked drunk and out of his mind.
Lee Yo-hwan said.
“Who the hell is this kid? If you’re going to get drunk, get drunk nicely. What are you doing? Get out of here.”
At Lee Yo-hwan's words, the man closed the door and disappeared while supporting Choi Gi-cheol.
Lee Yo-hwan, who had been inserting a needle into the blood vessel, soon began to slowly inject the drug.
His eyes, which seemed to be staring at the ceiling, trembled slightly before he turned his gaze back to Moon Si-young.
“I feel like I can finally breathe a little easier. My dear Siyoung. Come here.”
“Oppa. I’m really not like that! Why would I do that! Huh? You know better than me that I’m really not that kind of person.”
Lee Yo-hwan approached Moon Si-young, touched her shoulder, and answered.
“I know. That’s just how money is.”
Lee Yo-hwan took out a bundle of checks from his wallet.
And he continued, holding her with one hand.
“Money is good. I’ll give you a lot. Eat a lot.”
“Ugh! Don’t do that… Ugh!”
He started shoving checks into her mouth.

A woman was approaching the window that Woojin was looking at from outside.
It was none other than Lee Hye-rim.
Lee Hye-rim, who had come up close to us, made her breath freeze on the window as the snow fell lightly.
And he wrote the words with his finger.
[What are you doing?]
Woojin also created breath like her.
[It's cold, come in. ^^]
Lee Hye-rim smiled faintly and walked toward the entrance.
Woojin looked at Lee Hye-rim, who was approaching him while shaking off her clothes.
The music flowing out of the coffee shop was soothing, and so was Lee Hye-rim's smile.
It was peaceful.
But in other places, things will be moving busily.
Don't miss it.
They are caught and branded first to prevent escape.
Meanwhile, Prosecutor Kim Cheol-woong was speaking into the walkie-talkie in a low voice from his car.
“From now on, everyone, turn off your cell phones and only follow my orders. I will take responsibility for everyone, whether it be the chief, the police chief, or the prosecutor. Just follow my orders. Please stand by.”
