The Surviving Victim in Hwanak Neighborhood (3)

-Understood. I will take immediate action by calling them on the emergency line.

Its very urgent. Please call them as quickly as you can. Ill personally head over to give you my thanks afterwards.

-Okay. Well then, goodbye for now.

Click.

The call had ended.

Chu Oh-Myeong was staring at me blankly.

Once my tension was released, it was replaced with rage.

As I clenched my fists, Black held a few documents up in front of the CCTV.

Team Leader also turned his back with a sigh of relief.

I walked over to him and shot out my fist.

Bam!

Ugh!

You son of a bitch. Im busy right now, but Ill deal with you when I get back.

Weeoo- weeoo-

The noise of our sirens signalled the emergency.

Behind our van, dozens of police cars were following, hot on our trail. With all these police cars racing down the road together, it was just like a scene from a movie.

Mong-Doos arrived. I got a message saying that the demolition has been put to a full halt.

Thank God. It looks like the call wasnt too late.

I wrestled with the steering wheel as I kept my foot on the accelerator.

Although we had prevented the buildings from being demolished, the victims physical condition was still a concern.

Please place a request for an ambulance as well.

Okay. Weve also got a reply from the search team. Theyre heading straight to Hwanak Neighbourhood.

Team Leader informed us as soon as he heard this over the radio.

It might be because this had become a huge case after six bodies were found, but everyone was willing to cooperate.

Wasnt the Fork Gangs office in Hwanak Neighbourhood?

Thats right. Since they claimed that they were providing a service.

What happened to them in the end? Is the company still around?

Because I had been in the hospital from the day of the incident until the awards ceremony, I hadnt heard the full details.

When the time comes, we might even need to force them to lend a hand.

Appearing to have seen through my intentions, Black shook his hand in dismissal.

They were completely wiped out. Apparently those gangster bastards just put up a signboard without officially opening up a business?

thats beyond imagination.

As soon as Song Dae-Ak was arrested, we went to search the place, but there was nothing left. Especially the ledgers. Thats why the Investigation Department is in a tizzy, trying to find the missing evidence.

It looks like we may have missed a rat.

We cant be sure of that. Since it was an illegal business, the office might have just been an empty shell in the first place.

Hmm. This bothered me slightly.

Team Leader shook his head in disgust.

But the company that actually employed those bastards must have been insane. And for the parent company to be the Gunbaek Corporation? What kind of image is that for such a large conglomeration?

Ah, thats right. How exactly did you get to know a Gunbaek executive?

Black asked in sudden realization.

We met once at a cruise party some time ago.

A cruise party? Wow. I almost forgot. You really are from a Chaebol, arent you? The only kind of party Ive ever been to is a birthday party.

The van gradually drove into narrower and narrower alleys.

Steep stairs marked the end of our road.

Everywhere around us, there were broken slate roofs and half-collapsed houses.

The neighbourhood was shaded by a gray light that made everything seem abandoned.

Whoa. Whats with this view?

We could see the Hwanak River that flowed through the center of Hwanak Neighbourhood.

Looking down at it from such a high vantage point was nothing less than spectacular.

There was a rumor that the redevelopment is all because of this. The view is truly tremendous.

Thats understandable.

Theres no way that those with money to burn could keep their hands off such a treasure.

We parked our cars and entered the neighborhood.

Whats going on?

Theyre saying that the construction work has stopped all of a sudden?

What on earth? If thats the case, could the whole project be cancelled?

Huh? Its the police. There really must be something going on.

The site of the halted demolition works was crowded.

There was the residents organization who had gathered together to continue their protest until the very end and there were the strike-breakers sent by the government.

And finally there were workers who were just resting.

Mong-Doo!

We spotted Mong-Doo from a distance as he was talking with the site foreman. He was holding a large piece of paper in his hands.

Youre here?

While we were on our way, Mong-Doo had secured a map and was dividing the area into sections.

Starting from the four entrances into the neighbourhood.

It looks like we should tell the latecomers to head to the other entrances instead of the one we came through.

Lets start searching from each end.

Okay.

Black rolled up his sleeves and mustered his enthusiasm.

There were far too many houses and other buildings in this neighbourhood.

However the surviving victim was somewhere in the middle of all this.

I would definitely find her in time, without fail.
