Sense

Chapter 78: Butcher (7)

Yoon Joong-gi was firmly holding onto the criminal's neck with both hands, so he couldn't touch the handcuffs on his waist.

"What?"

As pressure was applied with Jiu-Jitsu techniques, the criminal soon fainted and relaxed. Dowook asked Yoon Joong-gi, who had relaxed.

"Don't you usually twist their arms back and overpower them?”

Yoon Joong-gi, who took the handcuffs out of his waist pocket and put them on the criminal's wrists, stood up and smiled.

"We can't overpower them like that if there are many people around. This is the first and last choke."

Yoon Joong-gi took out his phone and called Captain Oh while going into the emergency room.

"We've arrested the criminal. The hallway on the 3rd floor. Please raise the number of officers."

Through the phone, Captain Oh's shouts could be heard one after another.

-You punks. The three of us couldn’t catch one person!

Yoon Joong-gi lowered his cell phone with a grimace and turned to Dowook, who accurately guessed the criminal's escape route.

"How did you know that he would run away?"

"The police are blocking the lobby, but it's sloppy here. The building over there is a children's hospital, but people don't use this passage very much. Since he's an intelligent criminal, I thought he'd come this way."

"It's because the doctor has a better sense than the incumbent detective. I'm embarrassed in many ways."

Dowook smiled at Yoon Joong-gi's praise.

He couldn't reveal that he noticed it because the direction the sense was coming from suddenly changed.

‘Let's just wrap this up by saying I have better intuition than a detective.’

"Hyung-nim!"

Muk-ho, who belatedly jumped up from the central escalator, shouted with a serious look.

"I just got a call saying Lottery Tickets are at the hospital! I think they’re here for Sung-oh hyung-nim, so I have to go right away. No one can stop me!"

The fight, which he said he needed to hire someone for, seemed like it would really take place.

Dowook looked at Yoon Joong-gi taking care of the criminal. He wanted to ask if the police could mediate the fight between organizations.

However–.

A group of people rushed from the other side of the building's overpass so he couldn’t ask. There were about a dozen people. Muk-ho was surprised.

"Shit! They’re already here! Woongman! Call all the members here!”

Muk-ho urgently ordered the big man who was halfway up the escalator.

Dowook looked at the influx of violent criminal gang members.

"Those people. There are so many police officers in the hospital. They’re not trying to create a ruckus here, are they?”

"Chinese organizations are not afraid of arrest for profit. That's why they are fast to expand their power. I think we should call the detectives from the Seodaemunseo Violent Squad."

Rattle.

The emergency exit door opened and Captain Oh and three detectives ran out.

"Detective Yoon!"

Captain Oh ran over quickly.

"Why is Heogi-poong passed out….”

Captain Oh looked at the handcuffed criminal lying down and shifted his gaze to a group approaching from the other side of the passage.

"Who are they?"

Chun-sik, who had been running from the lead, raised his hand.

Members of the organization who were holding wooden sticks and baseball bats stopped all at once, and the leader opened his mouth.

"Is that guy over there Heogi-poong?"

A question with a strong Yanbian accent. Captain Oh snorted.

"What are these crazy guys doing in front of a police officer?"

"Think carefully before opening your mouth. We have more people."

Captain Oh flinched at the warning of the gang leader. While the detective next to him called the police on the radio, Yoon Joong-gi asked the gang leader.

"You're not here to get one up on Shin Sung-oh, you're here to find Heogi-poong? Did you steal Officer Ham's laptop?”

"Do I have to answer that when you’re about to be beat up?”

The gang leader pointed forward.

A dozen people rushed for Heogi-poong at the same time.

Yoon Joong-gi shook his hands and looked at Dowook.

"Doctor, please move back. Captain Oh, you protect Heogi-poong. I'll arrest the secondary accomplices over there."

Dowook felt a tremendous sense rushing into his fingertips while stepping back. This was Yoon Joong-gi's sense.

Yoon Joong-gi, who ran like lightning, grabbed a member's wrist and pushed his elbow the other way around.

"Ugh."

After pushing the gang member who dropped his weapon, he stepped on the knee of the next member with a low kick. With a crackling sound, he landed a strong punch to another guy next to him, whose knees were twisted as he collapsed.

Pow!

In an instant, three people rolled around the floor while groaning in pain.

It was an effective and fast martial arts technique enough for the remaining members to panic at once.

Yoon Joong-gi, who took out his baton, looked back at the members.

"Thugs who believe in the strength of numbers and rushed in here. Who are you going to crush?”

Yoon Joong-gi, who looked confident and cool as he said those words, impressed Dowook.

‘Wow, he's not an ordinary person.’

Earlier, Dowook was so busy that he didn't know who this sense belonged to. He simply considered it as the detective’s familiarity with judo.

But now he could definitely tell.

That detective.

He was a master of fighting, whose whole body was a weapon itself.

Captain Oh also looked to the side after seeing Yoon Joong-gi's skills with his jaw dropped open.

"What are you doing? Jiwon, aren't you going?"

Only then did the three detectives run out to deal with the gang members. In addition, Muk-ho and even his companion jumped into the melee.

Due to Yoon Joong-gi's unrivaled movements, it felt like he was no longer at a disadvantage.

Dowook stood relieved and saw the gang leader, quietly standing in the back, start to move. Yoon Joong-gi also felt it and tried to respond, but he couldn't pull himself out because three men were attacking him simultaneously.

The gang leader ran out of the battlefield agilely.

Captain Oh felt his back and pulled out a pistol.

"Hey! If you don't want to die, stop!"

"Isn’t your first shot a blank?"

Ta-ang!

The blank was fired, but the gang leader approached regardless.

"Stop!"

The gang leader attacked Captain Oh who was aiming the gun once again.

"Doctor!"

Yoon Joong-gi finally defeated his opponents, ran over, and threw his baton toward Dowook.

Tap.

Dowook lightly hit the back of the gang leader who was struggling with Captain Oh, as the impulse in his arm told him to do.

Thud!

The gang leader reacted quickly and reached out to Dowook. There was a knife in his hand.

Dowook hit his opponent’s hand with the baton. He relentlessly kicked the face of the gang leader who was groaning in pain.

The gang leader dropped down in a dead faint.

Yoon Joong-gi, who arrived late, also looked on with wide eyes.

"You're not athletic. You know martial arts".

"I just swung it…”

He hadn’t meant to do this, but Yoon Joong-gi's sense was very explosive.

With an extremely relieved expression, Captain Oh lifted his pistol and fired it into the ceiling.

Ta-ang!

"Stop, you punks!"

The live ammunition blew one of the backs of the ceiling with a roar incomparable to the blank. Detectives and members of the organization, who were intertwined in the fight, stopped moving at once.

Organizing the situation.

It wasn't planned, but the police who asked for support finally arrived on the third floor one after another.

-What is this?

-Oh my god…

-Call more people over…… No. Ambulance…… No, I mean…

Captain Oh stood up with some difficulty and looked toward Dowook, who had saved him.

The appearance of a doctor checking the condition of the passed out gang leader by measuring the pulse registered in his mind. At the irony, Captain Oh asked with a disbelieving look.

"Doctor, what are you doing?”

"I need to call an orthopedic clinic. If the wrist bone is completely out and not connected quickly, there is a risk of being crippled.”

"That's… He's a Korean-Chinese gangster. He’s a villain who even tried to stab you with a knife."

Dowook saw the knife of the gang leader on the floor and pushed it away with his toes far away.

"The situation is the situation, and I'm a doctor. And I think I use a knife a little better. On such a dull blade, only the fat layer of the skin can be cut."

At the words of the surgeon, who revealed that he was better at using knives than a Korean-Chinese butcher, Captain Oh felt cold sweat flowing down his back.

The next morning.

Cheon Ho-beom slowly opened his eyes.

As he turned his head while looking at the ceiling, he saw an infusion tube, various lines, and vital monitors. When he recognized that this was inside a hospital room, he remembered being carried away at the time of the accident.

"Aughh."

He lowered his eyes to look at the source of sleep talking.

Yoon Joong-gi was sleeping with his head leaning against the bed under his leg.

"Hey!"

"Ummm…"

"Hey, Yoon Joong-gi."

Yoon Joong-gi opened his eyes wide.

"Captain!"

Yoon Joong-gi, who approached his bedside immediately, asked while looking around Cheon Ho-beom's face.

"The doctors told me that your surgery went well and that you would wake up soon, but you didn't wake up, so I was very worried."

"What about the others?"

"Hyunjin is sleeping next to you. Jun-seop went to the orthopedic clinic to wear a leg cast. Seok-young is interrogating Heogi-poong at the headquarters."

Cheon Ho-beom, who was nodding his head as he heard that all members of Investigation Team 2 were safe, paused.

"Heogi-poong?”

"I caught him last night. With a choke."

Cheon Ho-beom saw Yoon Joong-gi with disbelieving eyes.

"The intelligent criminal was caught by someone who can only use his body?”

"Are you looking down on me?"

Yoon Joong-gi, who replied, smiled awkwardly.

"I didn't catch him by myself. The doctor helped me a lot. Really, captain. We should recruit this doctor into the investigation team right away. It's crazy, crazy.”

Yoon Joong-gi began to talk about last night with excitement.

"We'll have to wait and see for a while, but you have to keep in mind rehabilitation training. Brain nerves are also greatly affected by small inflammations. By the way, alcohol and tobacco are prohibited. Did you understand?”

Shin Sung-oh, whose head was fixed to the bed with an instrument, blinked at Dowook’s explanation.

"Then, I'll see you at the rounds tomorrow."

Mukk-ho shouted loudly to Dowook as he was about to leave.

"Thank you for your hard work, doctor!"

Shin Sung-oh's other subordinates also bowed as they loudly greeted Dowook.

Not only the nurses passing through the hallway but also the professors of other departments who were going on their rounds turned to Room 1101.

Dowook shook his head to Muk-ho informing him not to do that and quickly closed the door.

‘Oh, this is troublesome. What if he keeps doing this until he's discharged?’

Even if he wanted to hand over patients to his juniors in the medical department, it was clear that they would not be able to provide proper care if such large men filled the ward each time they came to examine the patient.

Karma that he had to bear in his life.

After the morning round, Dowook entered the neurosurgery hallway, and a police officer standing in front of the office approached as soon as he saw Dowook.

"I'm Kim Yong-kyung from Seodaemunseo. You are Dr. Park Dowook, right?”

"Yes."

Dowook waited for the next question, wondering what the officer came to ask about yesterday's happenings. However, the police spoke of completely unexpected news.

"The seniors who were dispatched from the city kept saying the doctor’s name, so I thought I heard it somewhere. The person who reported the runaway patient a few months ago. That was you, right?"

"Huh? Yes, that's right. It was by someone named Ji Kang Cheol.”

"I forgot because I had a lot of year-end work. I got a call about three weeks ago about that. It was an assistant who worked with a man named Ji Kang-cheol. He said he had something to talk about with you regarding the incident on the day of his disappearance."

The police handed over a memo with his name and phone number to Dowook.

"He said that you could contact him there. Then, bye."

The police saluted and then disappeared. Dowook turned to the memo.

A special sense.

A person related to the professor who created it appeared.
