The Cop Is Too Strong [EN]: Chapter 80

The knife fight downtown had left a stark impression on the gangsters, and the riot squad’s performance was etched in their minds.

They recognized Shin Hae-soo instantly and yelled,

“It’s the riot squad! Get that bastard!”

“Waaaah!!”

Hae-soo gritted his teeth, twisting his waist and arching his shoulders. He felt a surge of anger.

The fact that they dared to rush him again, even after their previous encounter, meant he hadn’t instilled enough fear in them the first time.

Bang!!

Hae-soo’s fist, reinforced with the handcuff knuckles, connected with a man’s face.

The skin tore in the shape of the handcuffs, the facial bones caved in, and the man spun in the air before collapsing to the ground with a thud.

Thud-!

“I’ll be kind enough to remind you who I am,” Hae-soo said, his voice low and menacing.

“You’re the guy who’s gonna die today!” a man behind him shouted, swinging a hammer. Hae-soo whirled around, taking the blow on his shoulder and slamming his elbow into the man’s temple.

Thwack!

The man who had shouted so boldly crumpled sideways, like a puppet with cut strings, his limbs twitching.

In that moment, another man lunged at his side with a sashimi knife [a long, thin knife used in Japanese cuisine for slicing raw fish]. Hae-soo twisted his body, narrowly avoiding the blade, and struck the man’s jaw.

“Ugh!”

The man sprawled on the ground like a frog. The sashimi knife grazed Hae-soo’s waist, tearing his clothes, but the special anti-stab vest underneath remained intact.

Bang! Bang!

The gangsters struck in the face with the handcuff knuckles were down for the count. It was literally one shot, one kill, their faces grotesquely torn.

“Aagh, ugh!”

A police officer had a hand axe embedded in his shoulder. The gangster’s eyes flashed with murderous intent as he pulled it out and tried to strike the officer’s ankle again.

Thwack-!

Just then, a work boot slammed into the gangster’s side. The gangster flew sideways and crashed into the wall.

As the gangster tried to get up, Hae-soo immediately followed up, kneeing him in the jaw as he was trying to stand.

Crack!

Hae-soo, after confirming that the gangster was unconscious, turned and approached the injured police officer.

“Are you alright?”

“Ugh…”

Blood was gushing from his shoulder. The knife fight raged on behind him. Hae-soo handed him his cell phone and said,

“Call 112 [South Korean emergency number] and 119 [South Korean ambulance number]. Then…”

“Yes, yes.”

The police officer tried to call 112 first, but after seeing Hae-soo’s determined back, he called 119. He knew that as long as Hae-soo was there, the situation would be under control before reinforcements arrived.

Thud! Thud!

“Kyaagh, aagh!”

“You son of a bitch, die, die!!”

A man, after being hit by a Taser gun fired by a female officer in her left hand, went berserk and stabbed her in the stomach with a sashimi knife.

As he tried to pull the knife out again, the female officer desperately grabbed the blade with both hands. Blood streamed down her hands.

“Don’t let go, you bitch!!”

Thud.

Just then, a shadow fell over them. The man felt a chill and instinctively tried to turn his head, but a thick hand grabbed his fingers.

Snap, snap, snap-

“Kaaaaaagh!”

Two of the man’s fingers were completely crushed, and he dropped the knife.

Hae-soo grabbed the man’s neck, ran forward, and slammed him into the wall.

Bang!

Then, he slammed the handcuff knuckles into his face.

Bang! Bang!! Crack!!

The man slid down, his face unrecognizably mangled.

Hae-soo swallowed his rising anger, turned, and approached the female officer.

“Officer Lim! Officer Lim!!”

“Ugh, ugh, Officer Shin…”

“Don’t talk, just stay conscious. Hold onto this knife tightly, and the ambulance will be here soon. Just stay here. Everything will be alright.”

Hae-soo spoke rapidly, unlike his usual calm self. Officer Lim gave a faint smile and nodded.

Hae-soo bit his lower lip, feeling as if his heart was tearing at Officer Lim’s pale face. Since he couldn’t treat her injuries directly, he would do what he could.

Hae-soo rushed towards another gangster.

Wee-ooh! Wee-ooh!

The sirens of patrol cars and ambulances blared in a chaotic symphony. Three ambulances arrived, followed almost simultaneously by four patrol cars.

Shortly after, a van carrying detectives from Gangjin Police Station arrived.

“Here! This way!!”

Hae-soo, who was subduing the remaining gangsters and fastening their wrists with cable ties, ran out as soon as he saw the ambulances, directing them to Officer Lim.

She had suffered the most serious injuries among the police officers.

Thud, thud, thud!

The police officers getting out of the cars weren’t walking; they were running. Their footsteps, as they ran with batons in hand, were filled with fury.

“You sons of bitches!!”

“You dare attack the police station? Are you crazy! Crazy!”

“Sung-shik! Where’s Sung-shik!!”

The police officers all reacted as if they had anger management issues. The detectives, known for their short tempers, were even worse.

Some detectives were seen ruthlessly kicking the already subdued gangsters.

“What do you think this is! You crazy bastards!!”

And rightly so. They were showing utter contempt for the police and public authority. This would inevitably be reported in the news, and the public’s trust in the police would plummet.

Thanks to the patrol officers who abandoned their regular duties and rushed over, the more than twenty gangsters were quickly transported to the hospital.

The faces of the police officers escorting the gangsters to the hospital emergency room were contorted with displeasure.

“To think we have to treat these things like they’re human, ugh, seriously.”

“Hey, hey, doctor, just treat these bastards roughly.”

“Treat the police officers over there first, not this bastard.”

“Excuse me? But the injuries are serious…”

“Even if they die waiting, treat the police first. It’s okay if these guys die.”

“Yes, yes…”

The Gangsoo Unit team members, who had all gone home, also received urgent calls and rushed to the emergency room. The emergency room unintentionally became crowded with gangsters and police officers.

The detectives were busy taking statements from the gangsters one by one. Hae-soo passed them and approached Team Leader Kwak.

“Oh, Riot, ha… it’s such a relief you were there, really, God helped us. God helped us, are you hurt anywhere? You’re not, are you?”

Hae-soo rotated his slightly stiff shoulder and nodded.

“Yes, but more than that, the officer who was my partner at the police station was injured…”

“Oh, Officer Lim? Yeah, yeah, go see her quickly, ugh, these bastards… go and let us know how she is later.”

“Understood.”

Hae-soo went up to the operating room on the upper floor. In front of the sign that read ‘Emergency Surgery’ were a man in a suit with a loosened tie and a small boy.

He had heard Officer Lim say that he was three years old before, so he must be four years old now.

The child looked up at his father and asked with an innocent expression.

“Daddy, why did Mommy go in there?”

The father couldn’t answer easily.

“Uh, uh, that’s…”

“I want to go in too.”

“No, don’t say that…”

The child stared intently at his father’s expression and asked again.

“Does Mommy hurt?”

The father’s eyes widened slightly, and soon his eyes turned red.

“Yes, she hurts, let’s pray… that she won’t hurt.”

“Okay.”

Hae-soo watched the scene quietly before cautiously approaching. Officer Lim’s husband looked up at him.

“I’m Officer Shin Hae-soo, Officer Lim’s partner.”

“Ah, yes, I’ve heard a lot about you… I heard you saved her again…”

Hae-soo closed his mouth and remained silent for a moment before opening it again.

“Don’t worry. She was stabbed deeply with a knife, but it missed her lungs, and I expect her organs were slightly torn, but it’s a treatable area. If she has a good surgery and rests well, she will recover completely.”

“Ah, yes…”

Officer Lim’s husband tilted his head slightly as he looked at Hae-soo. He didn’t know how he knew these things, but strangely, he felt trust.

It was much more comforting than vague words like ‘it will be alright’ or ‘everything will be fine’ because it was so specific.

The surgery didn’t take long. The doctor who performed the surgery came out and said to the husband.

“The wound was deep, but it missed the lungs, and the organs were slightly damaged, but they weren’t torn much, so we stitched them up well. The surgery went well, and she will recover quickly if she gets plenty of rest.”

“Yes? Ah, yes, yes, thank you. Thank you, doctor!”

The husband was surprised that Hae-soo’s words and the doctor’s words were almost identical. He looked at Hae-soo and gave a nod of gratitude.

Now that he had heard that the surgery went well, there was no reason to stay here any longer. Hae-soo went back downstairs and picked up his cell phone.

-Yes, Chief Shin! You’re calling me first, what’s the matter?

“I’ll give you whatever money you want, so please make as many special anti-stab vests as possible that protect at least the upper body, like a vest.”

-Ah… I said there was no new material, and that was the last of it.

“The Dongbu Police Station was just attacked. Eleven police officers were injured. My partner, Officer Lim, was stabbed twice in the stomach.”

Gu Chief remained silent for a moment at Hae-soo’s words. He could feel the quiet but rising anger.

-T, t, t, those bad people!! Ha, yes, I’ll look for it in every way. If it’s impossible with that material, I’ll ask them to make it with another material. Trust me!

“Yes, please.”

*

The guys were young, spirited gangsters from the group that fought downtown.

They had only confirmed that their gang members had been taken from the Dongbu Police Station, and they had stormed in to rescue their gang members and punish the police.

“You should come to the police station then. Although there won’t be such a thing in the future,” Hae-soo said, grabbing the leader’s hair.

“You’ll all be charged with attempted murder, which carries the maximum sentence. And since you all had weapons, you’ll also be charged as current offenders of obstructing special official duties [a legal term for interfering with law enforcement], and you’ll spend the rest of your lives in prison, feeling deeply how big a crime it is to attack a police station.”

*

The attack on the police station by armed gangsters became a nationwide sensation.

The reporters said there was no bigger story, and they all covered it with sensational articles. Companies that were under investigation by the prosecution and police saw it as a good opportunity to distract from their own troubles and amplified the story even more.

However, the incompetence of the police wasn’t highlighted as much as they had hoped.

[Dozens of Gangsters with Weapons Attack Police Station!]

┗Summary) They tried to avenge the police who arrested their gang members, but they got reverse-swept.

┗Summary) I heard that Detective Shin arrived 30 seconds after they broke in and gave them a lesson.

┗Is it Detective Shin again? At this point, I think it’s a setup. Isn’t he a hero character that the police are pushing to launder their image? I have a reasonable suspicion.

┗You wrote a long load of bullshit and said reasonable suspicion lol

┗Seriously, I’m throwing up. What am I going to do with this idiot? Are you using eleven police officers as shields to create an image?

┗I believed in you, Detective Shin.

┗Wow, this is a really scary world. I was going to move to Gangjin City, but I can’t.

┗Come! If you can survive! You will become stronger!

┗lol wtf

┗It’s a relief that no one died in the police attack. 대한민국 [Republic of Korea] Police, fighting!!

At the same time, in an office where the view is blue during the day but just black at night.

Bang!!

“What? These 개 [dog], 호로 잡놈 새끼들이 [son of a bitch] attacked the police station? They saw the police as 개 호구 [easy target]?”

“It seems so.”

The Commissioner General shouted, his eyes blazing, looking at the Chief of Staff.

“Tell them to give them the maximum sentence, no remorse or anything!! No. I have to attend, I have to attend and see with my own eyes how the judge is doing it.”

“I’ll go with you.”

The Commissioner General jumped up and said, raising his index finger.

“Ah, and find out about anti-stab vests. Not something burdensome like now, but something that can be worn comfortably on a regular basis, maybe we can make vests out of anti-stab gloves.”

“I will find out.”
