The Cop Is Too Strong [EN]: Chapter 110

Bangakoba scoffed at Shin Hae-soo’s words.

“Ha, seriously, all sorts of crazy bastards are pissing me off now. You’re dead, you son of a bitch!”

He raised the steel pipe and swung it at Hae-soo.

Whoosh-

Hae-soo easily dodged it by tilting his head, grabbed the back of his head, tripped him, and slammed his face into the wall.

Bang!!

The impact was so strong that the wall cracked, and it felt like the surroundings were shaking. The sight of Bangakoba’s blood streaming down the wall was terrifying.

Hae-soo whispered into Bangakoba’s ear, who had fainted.

“I never intended to give you a chance.”

Bangakoba’s friends flinched, then, realizing their numbers and weapons, rushed at Hae-soo.

“You son of a bitch!!”

“Die!”

Hae-soo’s eyes flashed.

Unlike gangsters who frequently engage in turf wars or riot police who deal with demonstrations, ordinary people wielding wooden sticks or steel pipes always swing diagonally. It’s an amateur move.

As Hae-soo moved slightly towards the wall, one of the wooden sticks hit the wall and broke. Another guy swung a steel pipe towards his shoulder.

Hae-soo took a step back with his left foot and leaned his upper body back to avoid it.

Thwack!

He grabbed the steel pipe that hit the wall and pulled hard.

“Uhhh!”

Hae-soo’s palm struck the jaw of the guy who was pulled along with the steel pipe.

Bang!!

The sound was unbelievable for a palm strike. The man twitched once, then sat down on the floor, his eyes rolled back in his head.

Meanwhile, another man rushed forward and swung a wooden stick down from above.

Hae-soo clicked his tongue.

He swung it from very close to prevent him from running away, but he didn’t seem to realize that the impact would be weakened as a result.

Thud.

Hae-soo stepped forward and thrust his forehead into the man’s wooden stick.

The man felt no impact at all. He tried to raise the wooden stick again to swing it, but it wouldn’t budge as if it were stuck in a rock.

With the wooden stick pressed against his forehead, Hae-soo grabbed it with one hand and struck the middle of the wooden stick with a chop.

Crack!

The man’s blank eyes followed the broken wooden stick.

As the man looked dismayed at the wooden stick that broke as easily as a toy, Hae-soo’s rough hand grabbed his collar.

“Ugh!”

Then, he slapped his face.

Smack, smack, thwack!

His eyes glazed over with each hit. Bloody foam came out of his mouth.

As he was about to slap him for the fourth time, the man who had initially hit the wall with the wooden stick charged with half a wooden stick. He didn’t seem to learn anything.

Hae-soo grabbed the man by the collar and pushed him into the other man, causing them to headbutt each other.

Bang!

“Keuheok!”

“Kkeueu….”

The man who had been slapped collapsed, and the last remaining man clutched his head in pain.

“Sit down.”

“Ugh, ugh, it hurts….”

Hae-soo kicked his shin with his toe.

Thwack!

“Aagh!”

“Sit down.”

Thwack!

“Auk!”

The man, hit in both shins, was forced to kneel.

Hae-soo roughly stroked his head and then grabbed it.

“What are you guys doing?”

“Heeu, heeu, I’m sorry. I’m sorry.”

“If I have to ask you one more time, I’ll make you shit blood?”

The man paused at the word ‘shit blood’ and looked up at Hae-soo. One corner of his mouth was raised. This man was serious.

“That, that, that bastard said he had someone to catch… and came after getting hit first. He lost three teeth too…!”

“Hmm….”

He was referring to Bangakoba, who was hit first. He had hit his face against the wall and lost a few more teeth.

The man who was headbutted had lost at least three teeth, and the man who was slapped had lost two.

“Friends should be fair.”

Hae-soo strongly pressed his cheeks with both hands, forcibly opening his mouth.

The bewildered man noticed that Hae-soo’s gaze had been on the other friends’ teeth just now and trembled in fear.

“Hah, helph me!! Helph…!”

Hae-soo grabbed his teeth with his fingers and twisted them.

Crack.

“Kkeuaeuk!!”

He pulled out two teeth, put them in his hand, wiped the blood on his clothes, and picked up his phone.

“Yes, this is the entrance to Frog Karaoke. I’m reporting four people for group special assault [aggravated assault]. Yes, I’ve subdued them now. Two steel pipes, two wooden sticks with nails. Ah, I’m a detective from another jurisdiction. Then, please.”

The only toothless man who was still conscious trembled at the word ‘detective.’

Hae-soo stopped trying to take out the cable tie from his pocket and gestured to him with his chin.

“Open the car door.”

“Huh?”

He questioned why he suddenly had to open the car door, but when Hae-soo shook his head as if he didn’t like it and approached, he hurriedly searched his body and opened the car door.

Beep-beep-

Hae-soo got into the car and retrieved the black box SD card.

When he connected it to his phone and checked it, their conversation about plotting the crime in the car was clearly revealed.

Hae-soo’s brow furrowed as he saw them making obscene remarks as well as discussing the assault against Haru.

“He’s no good, get up.”

Hae-soo grabbed Bangakoba’s hair and forcibly pulled him up. Then, he woke up, but he screamed as he got up, pretending to be unconscious.

“Aaaagh!”

“What were you trying to do?”

“Auk, let go of this….”

As Bangakoba groaned in pain, the karaoke stairs became noisy.

“…Sis, so you’re really going with me? Huh?”

Haru and Jang-geum, who were at the front, came out and met Hae-soo. The two women’s gazes went from Hae-soo to Bangakoba, his friends, the blood-stained wall, and the wooden sticks and steel pipes.

“W-what’s going on… Who is that man…?”

“Why, why, what’s wrong?”

“Gasp, Koba hyung…!” [Koba, older brother/friend]

Jang-geum was horrified, and the other men behind her rushed up, but they froze when they saw Hae-soo.

Even with a warm smile, he was scary, but he was wearing black clothes and beating someone like a dog, so they felt like they would pee just by making eye contact.

“Wh-who are you….”

At that moment, Haru quickly grasped the situation and ran up the stairs.

Thump, thump, thump-

Then, she kicked off the last step and jumped up.

Thwack-!

Hae-soo, who saw Haru flying, let go of him in time, and Haru’s knee struck Bangakoba’s chin accurately.

Thud!

Bangakoba’s eyes rolled back, and he fell flat on his face on the street in front of the karaoke.

It didn’t end there. Haru’s foot was stretched out coolly. Soon, her foot was slammed down like an eagle diving.

Crack!

“Kkeuaaaack!!”

Haru’s foot struck between his crotch. He woke up from his fainting in indescribable pain and screamed.

He covered the area with both hands and rolled around, but the pain did not subside.

Jang-geum, as well as the other men, were speechless with their mouths wide open at Haru’s brutal revenge.

“Wow….”

“Heok!”

Soon, two patrol cars arrived. Hae-soo took the lead and handed them over to the police officers.

“Oh, it’s a complete mess. Did they fight among themselves?”

“No. I felt the danger and tried to subdue them properly, so I overdid it a bit.”

Hae-soo explained, raising his hand and pointing to the weapons around him. The police officer listened to Hae-soo’s explanation and widened his eyes.

“Oh! Detective Shin?”

“Do you know me?”

Hae-soo had a pretty good memory. But he didn’t remember the police officer now.

The police officer shook hands with Hae-soo and continued.

“Of course! It’s an honor. I’ve seen you on YouTube and looked up a lot of news about Detective Shin. I’m a fan. Thanks to you, the police image has improved a lot. Thank you.”

He recognized him because he often looked at articles about the police who improved the image of the police, rather than ordinary people.

Even if he became famous, it was normal for almost no one to recognize Hae-soo by looking at the media because he was not a celebrity.

Even those who knew him knew the title of Detective Shin, but it was difficult to recognize his face. The main reason was that there were no videos showing his face properly, and most of them were taken from a distance or side videos.

Interviews and press conferences were also held on the condition that Hae-soo’s identity was not revealed or that his face was protected, and with Ahn Seo-eun’s cooperation, it was almost perfect concealment.

As such, he met the person who recognized him through the media for the second time so far, not someone who had actually met him. Both were police officers.

“It’s nothing.”

“Um… First of all, shall we go together?”

“Yes, I’ll follow in the car.”

“Yes, yes.”

Still, since they had assaulted each other, they had to go to the police station to write a statement. When Hae-soo got into the car, Haru also came running and grabbed the handle of the passenger seat, then stopped.

Jang-geum was staring at her from behind with tearful eyes.

Haru stopped and asked Hae-soo.

“How long does it take to write a statement at the police station?”

“At least 30 minutes.”

Haru turned and looked at Jang-geum.

“I can’t go with you today, I have to go to the police station.”

“Sis… I understand. I can’t help it, be careful.”

As Jang-geum was left alone, it was not an opportunity that Dokhaeng Nam-ah would miss. He quickly approached Jang-geum and asked in a subtle tone.

“Jang-geum, I just changed the car air freshener. Want to take a ride?”

“Yes… Thank you, Dokhaeng oppa [older brother/friend].”

Dokhaeng Nam-ah smiled victoriously as he looked at the other men behind him.

Haru got into the car, opened the window, and said to the guild members.

“It was fun, see you in the game.”

“Oh, okay, Haru! Goodbye!”

“See you again!!”

“Sis, goodbye! Are you coming again?”

Haru took a salute pose with her index and middle fingers and answered.

“See you again, Healer.”

‘Sh-she’s so cool…!’

Hae-soo and Haru quickly wrote their statements after arriving at the police station.

“…You’re being cooperative, so it’s over quickly. But… the evidence is clear, but their condition is so bad that I’m worried that Detective Shin or the woman will be harmed.”

“It’s okay. I often overdo it, so I know that side well.”

“Haha, that’s a relief. Anyway, fighting [good luck]. We’ll do our best on this case too.”

“Thank you.”

On the way home, Hae-soo had various conversations with Haru.

“Was the information interesting?”

“Yees….”

“Huh?”

“Yes, yes, it was interesting. It was amazing. It was like the characters I met in the game appeared as humans. The characters and faces were very different.”

“Haha, right, right, did you eat a lot of delicious things?”

“Yes, fried octopus… soju [Korean distilled spirit], green onion pancake, chicken… really this and that….”

Haru’s face was getting hot.

With Hae-soo next to her, she felt a sense of stability and her tension was relieved, and only then did the alcohol start to creep up.

“…Ahum, so they told me I was pretty thirty-seven times. Hae-soo never did.”

“…Did you drink?”

“I drank, what, are you going to arrest me?”

Haru’s eyes were half-closed. I didn’t know at first, but now the smell of alcohol is wafting.

“How much did you drink?”

“I don’t know… three bottles of soju? Four bottles of beer…? Because of that bastard… that bastard in the game… insulted me… I should have twisted his neck… I should have torn off both of his friends’ balls….”

Haru muttered, and her voice gradually became smaller.

From some point on, she was nodding off.

Hae-soo chuckled at the sight and focused on driving.

Haru was sleeping until they arrived at the underground parking lot, and Hae-soo took her out of the passenger seat in a princess carry.

While waiting for the elevator, he heard people’s voices from behind.

“…No, I’m sure I brought it out….”

“You didn’t bring it, go get it quickly.”

“Okay, okay, I got it.”

He didn’t expect anyone to be here at this early hour. A middle-aged woman approaches. She was wearing hiking clothes and carrying a backpack, so it seemed like she was going hiking.

She stared at Hae-soo and Haru and asked.

“Oh my, the new bride must be very tired.”

“…Yes.”

“She’s so pretty, I used to be like that too, it’s a good time.”

Hae-soo lowered his head silently.

The elevator arrived, and the middle-aged woman pressed the 9th floor. He had never met her, but she was a couple who had been living here longer than Hae-soo.

Since Hae-soo’s commute was irregular, he rarely met other residents.

When he pressed the 10th floor, she turned her head.

“You live on the 10th floor?”

“Yes.”

She said to Hae-soo as she got off.

“Have a lot of children, people with plenty of money should have a lot, the more you raise them later, the better.”

“…Yes, please go in.”

After the middle-aged woman left, Haru narrowed her eyes. There was a smile on her lips.

“Eumm.”

She closed her eyes again and snuggled deeper into Hae-soo’s arms.

A few days later, at the Gangsu Unit headquarters.

Oh Gyeong’s face turned pale after receiving a phone call.

“What, why?”

“Mo Chang-gui… has escaped from prison.”
