The Cop Is Too Strong [EN]: Chapter 98

Police Are Too Strong – Episode 98 (98/255)

Inside the dimly lit warehouse, even in broad daylight, with only one light bulb turned on, about a dozen burly men surrounded two muscular figures.

At Shin Hae-soo’s words, Maltong instinctively took a step back and shouted.

“What is this bastard saying! What are you doing! Kill that son of a bitch!!”

“Kill him!!!”

“Waaaaaah!”

“Iyaaaa!”

Before dealing with them, Hae-soo glanced at the youngest. Unlike when they caught Madam Yoo before, his eyes were calm and composed. It was partly because the opponents didn’t have knives, but also because the youngest had become more resolute in the meantime.

Without worry, Hae-soo leaned back, dodging a steel pipe, and swung his fully cocked fist.

Thwack-!

The man hit by Hae-soo’s full-swing punch floated about 3 centimeters off the ground before collapsing. Two more men fell on top of him.

Whoosh-

In that gap, someone from the opposite side stabbed at Hae-soo’s head with a nail-studded plank. Hae-soo narrowed his brows at the vicious attack and struck the middle of the plank with his hand like a knife.

Crack!

He broke the plank, grabbed the neck of the man who wielded it, lifted him high, and slammed his face into the hood of a car parked behind him.

Crash!!

Smash!

At the same time, the youngest smashed a man’s head into the car window.

The youngest made eye contact for a moment, and Hae-soo gave him a thumbs up.

“Not bad?”

Smash!! Bang!

Hae-soo and the youngest began to shove the guys into the car windows, competing with each other. If there was no room for four, they just crammed them in.

“Ugh!”

“Hey, hey, you bastard, don’t move!”

“Damn it, ah! Glass, glass!”

With so many people crammed into the narrow space, they couldn’t get out and just flailed their feet.

Thanks to the car’s ‘performance’ [a darkly humorous reference to the car’s destruction], their numbers rapidly decreased, and the rest were dealt with by Hae-soo and the youngest, who hunted them down.

Crack, crunch, bang!

They lifted the last remaining man and slammed him down next to Maltong.

Maltong, who had initially been sitting with his legs wide apart, smoking a cigarette, gradually brought his legs together politely and put out his cigarette.

*Hic*

Hae-soo casually placed his blood-covered hand on Maltong’s head.

“You should have looked into it more carefully.”

“Eh…”

Thud!

Maltong felt a tooth being ripped out of his mouth and fell backward.

At that moment, Oh Geng’s voice was heard, wondering why they hadn’t been eavesdropping at this important moment.

-Why is it so noisy? I caught Gomchi.

“Yes, I caught Maltong too.”

-What does that mean?

*

Shortly after, all the gangsters in the warehouse were taken to Gangjin Police Station. Four were in serious condition and headed to the emergency room.

Gangjin Police Station Violent Crimes Unit Office.

The Special Crime Squad headquarters was too small to accommodate so many gangsters, and they needed the help of the Violent Crimes Unit to write the statements, so they brought them to the Violent Crimes Unit.

Maltong was sitting across from Hae-soo.

“Maltong.”

Maltong flinched. Hae-soo stopped typing, narrowed his brows, and looked at him.

“Remember only two things: answer ‘yes’ or ‘no’ to my questions. If you remain silent, you get hit. If you lie, you get hit. Got it?”

“Eh, th-three things, though?”

“You guys traffic people too, right?”

Maltong’s eyes widened.

“…No?”

“You trade with Chinese guys? Send people, receive drugs.”

Maltong’s mouth dropped open as wide as his eyes.

“I… I don’t think so?”

“I see, when are you sending Chief Jeon to China, today?”

He flinched and his shoulders trembled. He was getting goosebumps.

“N-No?”

“Where today, Pyeongtaek Port?”

He jumped up from his seat and shouted, looking at the other gangsters.

“Which bastard! Which bastard betrayed me!”

“You’re really as transparent as glass, sit down before your knees bend the wrong way.”

Thump.

Maltong quickly sat down, contrary to his fierce demeanor.

The team leader approached and put his arm around Hae-soo’s shoulders.

“They’ve all disappeared, so they’ll catch on soon. We need to catch them all today. Youngest, request support from the Special Task Force, how many teams can the Violent Crimes Unit support?”

“Ah, we have another murder case.”

“We have to go in on the gangster case tonight too.”

“Damn it, Team 1 is busy, it seems, we’re short-handed.”

The youngest chimed in.

“How about requesting support from the relevant police station in Pyeongtaek?”

“We need to put in a request there too, but we need to catch them all, and it’s hard to get support from the riot police these days.”

Summer is the busiest time. Usually, everyone is sent to the summer police stations near the beaches.

Pyeongtaek reminded Hae-soo of someone.

“How about contacting Team Leader Jo Ara?”

“Ah, that Gyeonggi Northern team? Do you have her number?”

“Yes, the Commissioner gave it to me.”

“First, join up with Oh Geng, then contact her.”

On the way out, Hae-soo stopped, seeing Maltong huddled in the corner.

“Let’s take him and a few others, in case of unexpected situations.”

“Huh? Yeah, we should, of course, we should.”

“Maltong, who are you going to take? Pick two.”

“Yes? Where are we going?”

Hae-soo frowned at Maltong’s question.

“First.”

“…I won’t ask. I’ll take him and him.”

“Okay, you two, get up.”

Hae-soo led the three of them alone, put them in a van, and rode with them. The youngest drove, and the team leader sat in the passenger seat. He was in charge of three people alone, but he didn’t seem worried at all.

On the way to the temporary headquarters.

-This is Jo Ara, Team 1 of Gyeonggi Northern Police Agency.

“Hello, Senior Officer, this is Shin Hae-soo from the Chungnam Special Crime Squad.”

-Ah? Oh? That nice-bodied Detective Shin? Why are you calling me all of a sudden, no, how did you get my number?

“The number is from the Chief-”

-You asked my dad, didn’t you? I heard you turned me down. But you changed your mind after meeting me? Well, I’m not lacking in looks, I have a cute face, a nice body, and I catch criminals well…

“That’s not it.”

-If it’s not that, then maybe… feelings? Oh, this man is making my heart flutter again, I see. Where should we meet? What time?

Hae-soo finally had a chance to answer. Hae-soo, seizing the opportunity, rattled off words with fast and accurate diction, like rapping.

“Pyeongtaek Port. I’ll let you know the exact time later. Please provide as much support as possible from the Violent Crimes Unit. We plan to eradicate the human trafficking and drug import organization that’s been rampant these days.”

-…Yes? Ah, of course. I was just waiting, contact me when you have the time. Then.

Jo Ara was embarrassed and hung up immediately.

Just then, they arrived at the temporary headquarters, and Gomchi and Oh Geng were there together.

Gomchi was startled when Hae-soo entered.

“Why are you so surprised, am I going to eat you?”

“I-I’m sorry.”

He was even more surprised to see Chief Maltong and two underlings entering in handcuffs.

The small room quickly became stuffy with eight large men inside.

Hae-soo pushed Maltong and the underlings into the corner and faced Gomchi.

“Why didn’t you tell the boss about my identity?”

Gomchi lowered his head and said in a groveling voice.

“…I was scared.”

“What? Speak up.”

“I, I was scared of dying…”

“Pfft.”

His answer was full of sincerity. Oh Geng couldn’t help but laugh at his answer.

“You’re quick to assess the situation, that’s right, if you had told him, we would have caught all the guys there and folded you in half at the waist.”

Gomchi trembled. At that time, the finger sign interpretation was correct.

“Let’s just confirm one thing.”

Hae-soo suddenly jumped up, grabbed the back of his neck, and dragged him into the bathroom.

Bang-

As the door closed and an atmosphere of fear was created, Gomchi asked, trembling.

“Wh-Why are you doing this…”

“When is the deal with the Chinese guys?”

“…Today.”

“What time?”

“They arrive at 11:30 PM.”

“You guys give people, and they give drugs?”

Gomchi avoided his gaze and nodded. He seemed to know he was wrong.

“Good, as you’ve probably guessed, we’ve already taken over this side, you get the feeling of how much we’ve come in, right? It’s over now, I know you don’t have any ridiculous loyalty.”

“Yes…”

“You don’t have to do anything, just carry this in your pocket and act like nothing happened, got it?”

Hae-soo attached a device with location tracking and eavesdropping functions to the back of his clothes.

“W-Will you reduce my sentence?”

“I’ll let you live, if you run away, I’ll just give you as fish food in Pyeongtaek Port, go!”

Hae-soo opened the bathroom door, and Gomchi ran out as if fleeing and was kicked out of the temporary headquarters.

After releasing Gomchi, the detectives turned on the eavesdropping device.

“Won’t Gomchi run away?”

“Even if he runs away, he’ll make the appointment time.”

“Is there a possibility that he’ll tell the boss and run?”

“If he tells the boss that he met us and was released, that guy is dead too.”

“That’s right.”

At that moment, the boss’s voice was heard.

-Gomchi, why did it take so long?

-Yes? Ah, I had a flat tire in the middle…

-Really? Are you sure? I’ll forgive you if you tell me honestly.

The boss’s subtle voice, Gomchi’s trembling breath that seemed to be heard.

The team leader narrowed his brows.

“What is this bastard? Did he catch on?”

“We released him so quickly, did he have a tail on him?”

A situation that could invalidate everything, if Gomchi is in danger, we have to go out to save him first. As Hae-soo got up, the youngest also grabbed the car keys and stood up.

At that time.

-Th, th-that’s… that.

-You bastard! Why are you so scared? Is dating a crime? The rumor that you fell for the fixed ace of Dissen Noraebang [Korean-style karaoke bar with hostesses] has already spread, but let’s not let it interfere with work, huh?

“Phew.”

“Phew… Ah, my heart hurts.”

-Ah, ahaha… I’m sorry. I’ll work harder.

-By the way, Maltong and those bastards are quiet, aren’t they pocketing money from the first day they became managers?

At Maltong’s name, the real Maltong behind him flinched.

-Isn’t Manager Maltong famous for being diligent? It’ll be fine.

-Position makes a person, you have to keep pecking at the thugs regularly, until they’re brainwashed.

Zzzzzz Zzzzzz

At the same time, Maltong’s phone rang. Everyone in the room was flustered and in chaos at the sound.

“What the fuck!”

“Answer it quickly, answer it!”

“Hands, hands!”

“Where’s the phone, where is it?!”

“Scissors! Does anyone have scissors?!”

At the people’s fuss, Hae-soo approached and pulled Maltong’s handcuffs with both hands.

Crack-

The handcuff link broke in a hurry. Maltong was momentarily stunned by Hae-soo’s superhuman strength, then quickly regained his senses at the vibration and quickly answered.

“Yes, Boss! I answered the phone.”

-Why did you answer so late, did you get carried away because you became a manager?

“I’m sorry!”

-Where are you now?

Maltong’s eyes widened and he looked at Hae-soo. Hae-soo jumped up and pointed to their office outside the window.

“I’m in the office.”

-Really? Stay with the guys, I’ll stop by.

The detectives got up in a flurry at the boss’s words.

“Yes?”

-Why, can’t I?

The team leader picked up his cell phone and opened the bathroom door, and Oh Geng grabbed the doorknob to go outside.

“No! That’s not true! I’ll be waiting!”

-Don’t go, what’s so good about it.

The detectives’ hearts sank at the boss’s words. Oh Geng spewed silent curses at the boss with his expression.

-Maltong.

“Yes, Boss.”

-I don’t trust people. Not you, not him, not me.

“I’ll do well.”

-Good, don’t make me see blood, if you don’t want to have your organs sold like your manager.

“Yes! I’ll keep that in mind.”

-Good, get to work.

As the call ended, the team leader snatched his cell phone and checked to make sure it was completely disconnected. Then he let out a long sigh of relief.

“Ha, damn it, so is he coming or not.”

“Ah, that bastard is making my blood run dry, just wait until this is over, I’m going to…”

At that moment, his voice was heard from the eavesdropping device.

-Gomchi, what time is the ship?

-It’s scheduled to arrive at 11:30 PM. You should leave at 10 PM.

-Really? My body is aching, let’s go slowly and get settled.

-Yes, I’ll get it ready.

Now the exact time has been revealed. Continue eavesdropping and prepare for unexpected situations.

Hae-soo contacted Jo Ara and informed her of the time, and finally the time had come.

If they go too late and can’t secure a spot in advance, they won’t be able to prepare for unexpected situations, and if they go too early, it will be difficult to prepare if the meeting place changes.

They leave exactly one hour earlier than them. As the team leader stood up, the other officers followed suit.

“Alright, let’s go.”

At the team leader’s words, Oh Geng picked up the walkie-talkie.

“Special Task Force, Gyeonggi, receiving.”

-Special Task Force normal.

-Gyeonggi One normal.

-Gyeonggi Two normal.

-Gyeonggi Four normal.

“Sending eight, sending to the delivery location, sending one to Soo.”
