Chapter 60 – Female Investigator & Mother’s Corruption – 6
After about 5 minutes, fortunately, as Captain Kim said, a green neon sign with a gas station logo came into sight. Detective Kim hurriedly drove to the entrance of the gas station and entered.
A man standing in the dark office saw Captain Kim’s vehicle and ran out.
“How much would you like to put in?”
“Please fill it up. I don’t know how much it will take.”
“Yes! All right.”
“Captain! Excuse me for a moment.”
When the employee moved to the gas station, Inspector Nam opened the car door as if he had been waiting.
“I know. I’ll be smoking a cigarette too.”
Captain Kim took out the last remaining cigarette from the cigarette pack he had placed on the dashboard, lit it.
‘Whoa~’
After inhaling the cigarette smoke, I felt like my stuffy stomach was exploding as I exhaled for a long time. How long has it been? Detective Kim, who had been imagining the relationship between Seung-ah and Chairman Choi, was awakened by the sound of the car door opening.
“How is it? Is it cool?”
“Lol. Yes. Sorry.”
“This person. I’m sorry… But where did the oil-filling friend go?”
Detective Kim looked around with his face sticking out of his window. All he could see was the thick hose going into the oil filler neck.
“I put it all in, so it will come out over 80,000 won. Damn the price of gas… “
“Iknow, right. I only consumed precious oil today.”
Superintendent Nam helped Captain Kim as if to comfort him.
“Really!!!”
Suddenly, Captain Kim shouted as if he was startled by something. His fingertips froze as he rummaged through his credit card in his wallet. And then, quickly, he cast his gaze at Sergeant Nam.
“Hey, Captain Nam!!!”
“Yes?”
Superintendent Nam made a surprised expression.
“We are talking about this car. Do you know how much gas costs per month?”
“Well? Well, I’m not sure because it’s treated as an expense, but since there are a lot of kilos running, wouldn’t it come out at least 700,000 won to 800,000 won?”
“Yes? So, for one year… It will be close to 10 million won.”
“Come to think of it, it’s been quite a while. But why are you asking that?”
“You say Do you know how much gas goes into an airplane?”
“B, is it a plane?”
Captain Nam’s eyes widened.
“Okay! A plane.”
“Well? I don’t know anything about that… What… Come to think of it, it’s so big that I can eat a lot. Haha~”
“How much will it cost?”
“If you hit it with an airplane, what… If this car is 700,000 won per month, ten times? Wouldn’t it cost about a hundred times? So, about 70 million won a month?”
“Okay? If so, it would be about 800 million in a year.”
“I guess so. If it costs about 70 million won a month. How much oil do you really want to eat?”
“Then, if there are 100 airplanes, it would be over 80 billion a year.”
“Calculated as it is.”
Captain Nam nodded.
“Didn’t you say that among the people who deposited money into Seobong Kim’s bank account was an oil refinery executive?”
“Yes. The person who deposited money into Seobong Kim’s bank account. Oh! Come to think of it!”
“Do you have any idea what I mean now?”
Detective Kim looked at Inspector Nam intently.
“Captain!!! That, that… Therefore! The relationship between airlines and refineries!! Ah… I get it now Captain! Okay!”
Captain Nam’s eyes widened as he met Captain Kim’s gaze.
“Am I right?”
“Yes! Iknow, right! Why didn’t I think of that sooner? I need to find out how much jet fuel costs!”

‘Tiriririk~’
Seung-a, who was lost in thought while on the train, heard the bell ringing inside his handbag and hurriedly put her hand inside it.
‘Are you Kim Soo-kyung? The appointment time has not yet passed… ‘
Seung-ah, who was heading to the headquarters at the request of the investigators, tilted his head. Then he checked the number and was startled.
‘Oh my god! You’re Manager Park!’
After the relationship with Chairman Choi, there was no contact, so Seung-ah was taken aback by the sudden phone call from Manager Park.
In addition, Seung-ah, who was on her way to the main office, held her cell phone to her ear with a trembling hand, anxious about what to do if they noticed her whereabouts.
At Seung-ah’s flustered face, a male student in school uniform sitting next to him glanced at him with a strange expression on his face.
“Long time no see!”
Manager Park was the first to speak.
“I am busy.”
Seung-ah cut him off abruptly. He just wanted to hang up the phone right away.
“I already got off work. Why don’t you come this way!”
“Are you crazy?”
Seung-a exclaimed in surprise and felt the eyes of the people around her turn towards her and brought her other hand to her mouth.
“Then I’ll go there! Surely you don’t want me to go home? I don’t think the groom will welcome me very much either.”
Manager Park’s words about the groom and the house were more than threats to Seung-ah. Seung-ah’s momentum, which had been responding with a sharp voice, was quickly broken.
“Because I’m busy!”
“I know you left work a while ago.”
“I decided to meet an older sister I know.
Seung-a made an excuse in vain.
“Okay? What kind of girl are you?”
“I’m a university senior.”
“You mean stewardess? Then your beauty will be outstanding.”
At Manager Park’s words, Seung-ah thought, ‘Oops!’ But it was too late for him to give any other excuse.
“Anyway, not today! I’m quitting now!”
Seung-a said in a firm voice. But he’s not one to give up easily. There was no way that Seung-ah was unaware of his tenacious personality.
“How is it? Before meeting Chairman Choi, meeting at the restaurant we went together before? I’ll buy you dinner instead.”
“No!”
“Ehe! There’s nothing like this. I mean, let’s have dinner together.”
“You can’t do that! And if you keep doing this, Chairman Choi won’t like it very much.”
Seung-a was in a hurry and threw the last card.
“Wow~ what… That’s the answer I was expecting. But I don’t think he’d say anything as long as he had a drink with your husband.”
After all, he’s not a goofy guy. It is clear that you cannot take Chairman Choi lightly. But he really was someone who would come home.
“Now, wait a minute. I’ll try calling.”
Seung-a hurriedly hung up the phone. Seung-a was overcome with impatient feelings and called Kim Soo-gyeong of the Female Police Investigation Unit.
“Well, I have to cancel the meeting at the main office today. Please ask Captain Kim for your understanding.”
“Why? What happened?”
“Chief Park insists so much on having dinner. I think if I refuse any more, they will doubt me.”
“Is it so?”
Soo-kyung dragged the time as if hesitating about something.
“Then how about eating together?”
Her voice over the phone sounded grim.
“Yes?”
Rather, it was Seung-a who was surprised.
“Are you okay. Tell me the time and place Come on!”
“He’s a dangerous person… Are you really okay?”
“Of course. I am an investigator supporting this case. Don’t worry, just do as I say!”
Seung-ah was speechless at the sound of her strong will.
“I’m thinking of going to where Manager Park is. I was afraid that if I didn’t, people would notice.”
“Great. I will move now too. Please wait even if it’s a bit late. Seung-ah, you never have to worry. I’m trained for situations like this. I have the confidence that I won’t lose if it’s a fight. Got it? What did you say about me?”
“I said I was a senior in the stewardess department at a university.”
“Great. I do. Please tell me that now I work for an ordinary advertising agency. I also have an older sister who works in that line, so I know how well it goes back. Anyway, please be very careful about my status. Then nothing will happen.”
“All right.”
Seung-a reluctantly replied. Her chest was tight. She felt as if some huge rock wall was squeezing her little by little.
‘Can I really do it well?’
After hanging up her phone and calming her trembling heart with a sigh, Seung-ah stood up from her seat as if determined. It was because the eyes of the people around her were burdensome. Besides, since the direction has changed, she now has to find a transfer station and get off.
As Seung-ah moved her steps toward her compartment opposite her, she called her manager Park again. The eyes of the men sitting in the seats on either side moved along with her sophisticated steps, which gave the illusion of a model walking on a runway.
“How is it? Can you come?”
As if she had waited, the first person to speak was Manager Park over the phone.
“We decided to have dinner there together. Instead, only in the evening. If you do anything wrong, I will ask Chairman Choi for help.
It was a voice that Seung-a was also determined to.
“Good! Good! I’m just going to eat dinner after seeing your face, so don’t worry!”
Seung-a hung up the phone without further reply. Her heart was so heavy that she could hardly bear it.
Suppressing her trembling heart, she hurriedly arrived at the meeting place with Manager Park. Surprisingly, Kim Soo-gyeong arrived first. Seung-ah put on a startled expression as she sat down on the chair next to Soo-kyung.
“How did you come already?”
“The car is not blocked. I was in a bit of a hurry.”
“What? I am anxious.”
“Don’t worry about me, just act naturally as usual. Did you know?”
With Kim Soo-kyung holding Seung-ah’s hand tightly, she asked for trust. Seung-ah looked closely at Kim Soo-gyeong. The dark blue two-piece outfit exuded the atmosphere of an office lady.
She is completely different from the elegant atmosphere in the uniform she saw when we last met.
Judging by the dimples on both cheeks when she smiles, she resembles someone from an actress in a movie. Her plump body is also almost identical.
Then, through the doorway of the restaurant over there, she looked around and saw Manager Park walking inside.
Dressed in a gray suit, he spotted where Seung-ah was sitting and started walking towards her with a smile on his face.
“Oops. Hello? My name is Minsoo Park.
He sat down on the sofa across from Soo-kyung and Seung-ah and greeted them with a smile. Seeing his languid attitude, which was inappropriate for his age, Seung-ah put on a displeased expression on his face.
“Hello?
Kim Soo-kyung greeted me with an awkward expression.
