Chapter 441 – Exploration (4)
You can’t put pressure on your opponent just because their heart beats fast.
That’s the first reason why we didn’t point out that guy when everyone gathered.
The second is to provide stronger psychological pressure.
Isn’t there a saying that even a mutt eats half of his food at home?
Are you putting pressure on people who are on your side and a bully boss who can bury you without anyone noticing if you make a mistake?
On the contrary, it can be an opportunity to make the other person shut up even more.
On the other hand, what is the situation now?
“Fuck… , What do we do.”
A guy who gets nervous while working, puts a cigarette in his mouth and curses mixed with sighs.
He must have felt it too.
From the moment the S-class hunter found Jo Yeon-hee, something went terribly wrong.
He also said that he had stepped into a very dangerous place.
That’s why I’m worried.
Which choice should you make with the least risk to you?
This is the best opportunity.
When the other person’s heart is wavering, insert a wedge and twist it open.
… Still, it might have been better not to talk about Grandfather Mangtae.
To feel scared here, you need to know who Grandpa Mangtae is, but he doesn’t seem to know at all.
The guy screams in a panic.
“Now, turn yourself in. What does that mean?!”
It comes out that way, this.
Once again, I put up Jo Yeon-hee’s photo on my smartphone and put it in front of him.
As soon as I saw this, my pupils shook violently.
“You know something about this woman. Yes?”
“I-I…” !”
“It’s better not to say you don’t know.”
By cutting him off, he creates a slightly more frightening atmosphere.
“You are in a very dangerous state right now.”
“Up, danger… “This?”
You can tell just by looking at their facial expressions.
He only knows something about Jo Yeon-hee’s disappearance, but is not directly involved.
That means there is a high probability that the culprit was silenced…
The best thing to do is to silence these guys.
“I don’t know who it was, but they probably paid money to keep me quiet. Yes?”
“…”
“That would have been enough at the time. This is because there was not much attention paid to this woman’s disappearance right away. However… “Things have changed a lot now, haven’t they?”
An S-class hunter is pursuing the truth of the incident.
That fact alone will put the criminal under quite a bit of pressure.
“Even though you gave him money, you will still be a source of anxiety to the criminal. “What if that bastard eats the money and gets drunk?”
Actually it will.
And you will decide to choose the method that will make you most comfortable.
“If I kill you, everything will be resolved. “Anxiety factors disappear, and crime becomes a mystery.”
“Omg… !”
The guy’s breathing becomes increasingly rough.
You must be listening to me and imagining it.
I saw the criminal who gave me the money strangling me.
“But if you tell me now, I can keep you safe. The money received in return for silence… , I will make sure you can have it completely.”
“… “Really?”
When this guy makes a tempting offer, he immediately opens his eyes and asks back.
“Of course.”
Of course it’s a lie.
It is true that it guarantees your life, but of course you have to cough up the money you received in return for turning a blind eye to other people’s crimes.
Hiding his true feelings, he gently puts his arm around his shoulder and subtly encourages him.
“Now, try to shake it off. And let’s start fresh, okay?”
I know.
How important is money in an unremarkable life?
He asks me, as if he was thinking of a future where he will start anew with money in his hands.
“Really… , Ma, if you tell me, it won’t cause any harm to me, right?”
“That’s right.”
After getting a confirmation from me, the guy with a resigned expression began to expand on his words.
“… I saw it, that woman. “I was a guest at the club five days ago.”
“However?”
“At that time, our VIP customer pointed out that woman. Of course she accepted the lady.”
I remember the inside of the club I saw a little while ago.
At first glance, the rooms lined up on the second floor looked expensive.
That’s probably where VIPs drink.
There, the VIP picked Jo Yeon-hee because he liked her, and this guy arranged the booking.
“It was definitely not a coercive atmosphere! The woman was drinking happily, and the VIP left the club with the drunk woman. “That was the last time I saw it.”
It’s obvious even if you don’t look at it after that.
Isn’t it obvious that it’s a place where men and women go to have a good drink?
Motel.
Oh, since I said VIP, it must be a hotel.
Whether it’s a motel or a hotel.
That’s not what’s important.
“So what is the identity of that VIP?”
“Well, that is.”
The guy’s face turns white as he stutters and hesitates.
Let’s do that for a while.
The guy with his eyes closed tightly, as if he had decided on something, spoke with strength.
“Ki, ki, Kim Tae-yang… “It was a hunter.”
“…”
My mind went blank for a moment at the completely unexpected identity of the VIP.
So now…
“The VIP who booked Jo Yeon-hee and went out with her while drunk… “Is this S-class hunter Kim Tae-yang?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
With a devastated expression, she raises her head and looks up at the club building where young men and women are constantly coming and going.
Rising Sun.
It seems like there’s more lurking here than I think.
.

The next morning.
The club’s waiter, a guy named Jeong Jeong, was handed over to the association for protection.
It is said that as much as 100 million won was taken in exchange for hiding the clues to the case.
“All right. We will protect you well.”
Since Yun Ji-an said so, he will be safe.
Of course, your money won’t be safe.
Next, I met with Director Kim Seong-tae and informed him of the truth of the shocking incident.
“Ji, what did you just say…?” ?”
“It’s just as you heard.”
“Ki, are you saying that Hunter Taeyang Kim is the culprit in this disappearance?”
“It’s too early to make any conclusions.”
Not sure yet.
To put it bluntly, isn’t there a possibility that Jo Yeon-hee and Kim Tae-yang were kidnapped after they broke up after spending the night?
But.
“It is true that the probability is high.”
I hope not, but it is also true that the probability that he committed a crime is very high.
He has a temperamental and hot-tempered personality.
He even appeared as an examiner in the promotion match and lost to me, which made me feel even worse.
An ordinary person cannot withstand even a blow like a cotton bat from a guy in a fit of anger.
Especially if the target is a weak woman.
Seongtae Kim, realizing the seriousness of the situation, asks with a heavy expression.
“What do you plan to do?”
What happens next?
Simple.
“We have to attack.”
“… “You mean Hunter Kim Taeyang’s home?”
“Anywhere related to this guy, to be exact.”
“…”
His face becomes even darker.
“It’s not easy. “Unless Hunter Kim Tae-yang is the culprit, Hunter Kim Do-jin may face backlash.”
“I’ve already made up my mind.”
The risk of failure is considerable.
In the worst case, if Kim Tae-yang, who is in a bad mood, even mentions that he is leaving for Japan, China, or the United States, I will be criticized for making a hasty decision.
Is immigration easy?
It’s easy for him.
Whether it’s a lie or the truth.
It’s clear that he’s a guy who doesn’t mind saying anything out loud.
Even though you know that, you have to do it.
Isn’t a person’s life at stake?
Honestly, given that there has been no news so far, there is a high probability that he is dead…
“You have to do your best as much as you can.”
Hope was not extinguished.
At least until you see it with your own eyes.
As if he read my mind, which will not change no matter what I say, he replies with resignation.
“Ha… , All right. One way or another, I am betting on Hunter Kim Do-jin, so I will trust and help him this time too.”
“Oh.”
It’s surprising.
I didn’t think there was even the slightest hint of loyalty.
“Please wait a moment. “I will prepare the staff right away.”
After saying that, he stands up and calls somewhere.
“Ready to go.”
That was enough.
“The opponent is an S-class hunter.”
For the high-ranking hunters of the association to be fully armed and ready to go.
We head to the residential area in Hannam-dong with them.
Along with Pyeongchang-dong, it is a wealthy village lined with huge houses.
Surround one of them.
“The siege is over.”
After receiving the story from the team leader leading them, they immediately ring the doorbell in front of the door of the huge mansion.
Ding-dong-!
Soon, the voice of a female employee is heard.
-Who are you?
“I’m Kim Do-jin, an S-class hunter. “I came to see Hunter Kim Taeyang.”
-I haven’t heard that a guest is coming.
The woman’s voice coming through the doorbell turned cold.
I guess I felt something strange.
“It’s because I have some urgent business to do.”
-… All right. Please come in first.
Clap!
The front door opens with the sound of the lock being released.
Despite the chilly winter weather, we pass through a well-maintained garden and arrive at a remote entrance.
The moment you open the door and step into the spacious living room.
“Aang? What are you.”
A disturbing voice stops me from walking.
When she turns her head, she sees Kim Taeyang.
With her muscular upper body clearly exposed.
Seeing that sweat was dripping down her face, I wonder if she was practicing something she wasn’t good at before.
“I asked you why you came, you bastard.”
I ask the guy who approaches me with long strides and looks down at me with an intimidating gaze.
“Jo Yeon-hee.”
“…”
“Five days… “No, the woman you took out of the club six days ago.”
As the story got longer, she was about to ask a question to her face, which was getting harder.
Rattling!
“Oppa~ What’s going on?”
A moment ago, a woman appeared in the room where Kim Taeyang left, wearing only a thin gown.
The moment I saw her, I was so shocked it felt like I had been hit on the head with a hammer.
Long black hair, youthful face, slightly raised eyebrows.
Same.
Her face that I had saved on my smartphone.
“Mr. Jo Yeon-hee… ?”
I called her name just in case, and she answered.
“Yes, I’m Jo Yeon-hee… , Who are you?”
“…”
She is alive
And it’s so normal.
