The new place the broker guided me to was a large and spacious office. It was only 3 minutes away from Gangnam Station, and it was located on the 32nd floor.

“How is it? Boss. The lighting here is very good.”

It was as it was. Warm sunlight came in through the large windows that opened toward the station.

It was a place that would be liked by ordinary people, but

It wasn’t for me.

“In this kind of location and in this environment, I came out with only 100 million won for 20 million won.”

“Privacy is not guaranteed.”

A 100 out of 1000 office jumped to 2000 out of 100 million.

‘I have no conscience.’

In addition, the customer’s needs were not understood at all.

‘I don’t notice.’

“Wait a minute. Privacy. There’s a good place for privacy.”

“Nope.”

They judge people only by their appearance, and they are unable to grasp their true needs.

Being with someone like this was a waste of time.

“I’ll look around and come back.”

***

Tuesday afternoon.

After visiting 12 real estate properties for two days, I came to Café Connection to rest my tired legs.

‘Still, that woman was the best.’

The real estate agent I visited for the second time today was the most kind and did a good job. I showed you five listings, and I liked four of them.

‘I’ll have to go back later.’

First of all, I decided to rest because I had to relieve my fatigue first.

‘It’s unfortunate that a cafe has the same name as today’s Daejangju.’

Today’s main stock was [Connection Mulsan 46,840 (+20%)].

So when I found [Connection Cafe] on the street, I couldn’t help but remember.

Was it a coincidence that I found a cafe with the same name as today’s Daejangju?

‘Maybe it’s a relationship.’

There are days like that.

The day I want to follow my mood for no reason.

For me, today was such a day.

Maybe I was just excited because I left the company and went around during the day on weekdays, but I had time to spare, so I decided to follow my heart.

I ordered Americano and cake and took a seat. As soon as I put my butt on the chair, I habitually checked the appraisal amount.

[Evaluation amount: 4,498.81 million won]

It was an amount that made me smile just by looking at it.

‘First, apply for a withdrawal of 50 million won.’

I needed funds for office deposit and activity expenses.

I entered 50 million won and today’s date in the withdrawal box of the system. When the time is right during today’s trading, it will automatically request a withdrawal.

Giying-.

The vibrating bell rang and I brought an Americano and a cake. A cute carrot decoration was placed on top of the carrot cake.

‘Hayeon would have liked it if she saw it.’

I haven’t seen my daughter in over two years.

Memories are said to be beautified, but Ha-yeon in my memory was a good kid who liked her father.

{Dad! What is Hayeon’s favorite animal?}

{cat?}

{Nope! Dad why don’t you know?}

It was so lovely that she had tears in her eyes. I couldn’t stand it without an apology.

{sorry.}

{It’s a rabbit. rabbit!}

{It’s a rabbit.}

{Dad, don’t forget now.}

How can I resist a daughter who is hugging me with aegyo? When I thought of the small hand clinging to my arm, my heart fluttered.

‘How are you?’

I wanted to make a video call to Ha-yeon right away. It was all thanks to Ha-yeon that she was able to hold on without quitting the company where she worked until late at night while paying a meager salary.

How cute it was to see him wriggling and saying hello to his dad with that cute little voice. After learning how to use a cell phone at the age of four, she made calls without her mother’s knowledge.

‘Thanks to that, there were times when I was in trouble.’

I remember being dizzy when a video call suddenly came in during the meeting.

But at some point, Ha-yeon’s phone calls began to drop. At that time, I remembered what Hayeon had said.

{Our Hayeon. Why don’t you call dad these days?}

{Mom won’t put the phone down.}

The feeling of whispering through my small mouth reminded me of it, and it tickled my ears.

Thanks to her ex-wife being a beauty, she was popular wherever she went. It was to the extent that annoying men clung to him wherever he went.

So even when we were dating, even after we got married, we didn’t get in touch, but I thought it was because it was cool.

I didn’t carry my cell phone well even inside the house, and I often sat still and blanked out. So I decided to get used to it.

‘Because I thought he was a man chosen by the Goddess.’

I had to get used to the envious glances around me and the sound of putting me down. I had to get used to my ex ignoring my calls.

It was fine though.

‘Because I thought it was his original personality.’

Because I was mistaken that the reason I chose me out of countless men was because of love. So, I gave my ex-wife the money I earned from working so that my body would break down, and I received pocket money and spent it.

50,000 won when he was a freshman, 100,000 won when he was promoted to assistant manager, and 200,000 won when he was promoted to manager.

‘There is a reason why people do things they wouldn’t do.’

The fact that I didn’t let go of my phone, which I didn’t carry, means that I eagerly waited for someone’s contact while I was at work.

‘Perhaps he’s alone.’

Why did a proud man like Dokgojeong like his wife? A woman who only has a smooth face and doesn’t communicate well…

not. Seeing that my ex-wife didn’t let go of her cell phone, I might have just been a cheater.

The coffee felt more bitter.

I was slowly eating a cake while recalling the past for a while, but the table across from me became noisy.

“Ah! Reporter Kim. It’s only this once. Huh?”

“Detective Moon, don’t do this.”

“Don’t do that. Is this really going to be a scoop?”

Is it the detective who begs, and the reporter who refuses? It was so loud in a quiet coffee shop that I couldn’t help but hear it all.

“Give me an article on this just once. Huh? Then I won’t be in front of you from now on.”

“Detective. You know that our newspaper makes a living from advertising for Dokgo Group.”

Dokgo group? All eyes were on the table.

Came to drink coffee and heard this by chance?

‘no way···. Because of this, the name of today’s event is…’

Did you say that if you want it sincerely, there will be a way? Maybe the system led me here.

The detective was outraged.

“What are you doing with such dirty money! These guys are brazenly going around even after killing people!”

He is also the one who puts people in prison and steals other people’s women.

“Don’t scream.”

“Because they are murderers!”

As the detective shouted, the eyes of the people around him focused. The reporter jumped to his feet.

“I’m coming.”

“Reporter Kim! I’m sorry. Please ask me. Huh?”

The detective grabbed the reporter’s clothes and stretched them out.

The reporter shook his arm.

“Detective Moon.”

“Reporter Kim, please. You know that I have no one to ask for other than Reporter Kim.”

“You know.

he bit his lower lip.

“If you want to continue working at the company, don’t get involved with the detective. What the hell are you doing?”

“Reporter Kim. Please! I bought you coffee!”

“You don’t even consider my position.”

“Are you going to run away after only drinking coffee?”

“It’s dirty, so I eat with my own money!”

He took out a 10,000 won bill from his wallet, put it down on the table, and left without looking back.

The detective hurriedly followed him, only to return a moment later alone with a downcast face.

He scratched the back of his head, returned to the table, and sat down.

“Ac. You little bastard.”

He sipped the coffee left by the reporter.

“Why did you waste your coffee?”

Then he picked up a ten thousand won bill from the table and put it in his pocket.

“Ahhhhh !!!”

The detective grabbed his head and slammed it against the table. Then, the part-timer who had been paying attention approached cautiously.

“Me… a guest?”

“I’m going crazy.”

“customer···.”

Seeing a young part-time job student struggling with a crawling voice reminded me of a part-time job in college.

‘Because I have to be speechless to read the data anyway.’

“Are you okay?”

I approached the detective and asked out loud.

As I got closer, it looked pretty messy and smelled a little. He looked like a homeless person.

Only then did the detective raise his head.

“It’s not okay!”

It reminded me of the way he was carrying a crumpled ten thousand won bill.

“Have you eaten?”

“Why? You look like you can’t even buy food because you don’t have money?”

hit.

However, if you scratch your temper here, it will be useless to talk at all.

“It’s lunch time soon. If you don’t mind, let’s have a meal together.”

“Why me?”

“I am also interested in Dokgo Group.”

The detective’s eyes widened. It was clearly borderline.

But it didn’t feel bad.

‘I can’t believe it even if I’m not too vigilant.’

It’s not easy working with an idiot.

I saw a lot of prankheads in prison. Even without malice, it was they who did things to the detriment of their fellows.

“why?”

“Let’s talk while eating.”

He silently trembled and glared at me.

Well, even if it was me, he would think it strange if he suddenly approached me.

Make sure to read from noble mtl com

Just then, I saw a cow head soup restaurant outside the window.

“Let’s just eat at the soup restaurant across the street and then part ways. Is that enough?”

“…….”

He continued to shake his legs and look out the window. He frowned and put on a serious expression, but his stomach was honest.

rumble.

It was so loud that I was embarrassed.

“Ohhhhh!! Cool Cool Cool!”

He suddenly coughed loudly and got up from his seat.

“let’s go.”

“Yes!”

We entered the Someori Gukbap restaurant across the street from the cafe. Since it was past lunch time, there were not many people.

As soon as I sat down, I ordered first.

“Boss. Here’s two beef head soup and one meat.”

“Not even a red one!”

the detective added.

“Are you going to drink during the day?”

“Isa Nam. Is that where you live?”

“why?”

A look of bewilderment appeared on his face.

“Yeah, that way first… Ah!”

I never said I would buy it.

yet.

“I’m joking. They show me the data, but I need to buy some food.”

“You want to show me the material?”

“Yes.”

The detective frowned and closed his mouth.

After thinking for a moment, he opened his mouth again.

“What are you doing?”

“You know the embezzlement case of 1.5 billion from Gangmyeong Corporation two years ago, right?”

Gangmyeong Moolsan was the company I worked for.

“Of course. Embezzlement, such scumbags should be torn to pieces!”

“I am the culprit.”

He jumped up from his seat.

“…I don’t get sick with criminals.”

“It’s a false name.”

The detective, who seemed likely to leave his seat at any moment at the word false accusation, put his butt together again.

“Who?”

“I think it has something to do with the Dokgo group.”

“Kuh! Ha ha ha ha.”

He laughed out loud for a while at what was funny.

“That’s right. If you’re alone, that’s enough. But 1.5 billion is too small for a conglomerate.”

“Yes. Why is it 1.5 billion?”

It won’t work if you try to float it.

When I didn’t back down, the detective who was blazing with snowballs sighed and bent his neck.

“According to what you said, this is a victim meeting, right?”

“What damage did you see, detective?”

“…I don’t want to say that.”

His expression suddenly darkened, so he couldn’t ask any more.

“Dinner is served.”

In the meantime, the soup came out and spread it on the table. Before he could lift the spoon, he took out a file from his bag and handed it to me.

“Bosho. There’s a copy anyway, so don’t think nonsense.”

“thank you.”

“Thank you. It’s the price of a meal.”

While he ate, he studied the materials carefully. Starting with the drunk driving case of the second son of Dokgo Group a year ago, various grounds for corruption were listed.

I must have researched hard enough, but there were also photo and graphic data, albeit poorly.

‘This isn’t enough.’

Evidence of cheating was organized, but it was only circumstantial. There was no critical evidence to tie them up properly.

‘That’s why I asked the reporter to load it.’

When even a small case received public attention, it was re-investigated in earnest.

What if it’s even a murder case involving a chaebol family? It was bound to become an issue.

‘The problem is that the media is reluctant.’

It was natural that he did not want to turn Dokgo Group, the 10th-ranked member of the business world, into an enemy. After reading it carefully, I closed the document.

“It’s not bad material.”

“How much do I have for detective jjambab? If I had a warrant, I would have dug up all the kitchen utensils in the house?”

For an individual survey, the quality was very good. I wanted to hire him if possible, so I decided to give it a try.

“It must have been very difficult to investigate like this after work hours.”

“·······.”

Instead of answering, he took a big bite of soup. His expression twisted, and his chewing speed slowed down a bit.

“Are you okay, detective?”

“…The detective is a piece of sh*t. I quit earlier this year. F*cking bitches. They don’t even catch the ones they really need to catch. F*cking innocent, genetically innocent.”

I was deeply sympathetic. Because he was innocent and rotted in prison. Maybe soon the words will work.

“Then what are you doing now?”

He glanced at me and, without answering, shoved the rice into his mouth.

It seemed so. Because it smelled too much for a social person.

More than that, you’re saying you don’t have a job right now, right?

“Rather than that, this data. This isn’t the end, is it?”

The corners of his mouth rose slightly.

right. I didn’t think he was the type to show all his cards from the start.

‘Is there such a bear-like fox?’

He researches data diligently and knows how to be suspicious of people.

It was worth enlisting as an assistant to help me clear my name.

‘If it wasn’t for the eyes of trust, I wouldn’t have believed it…’

I had trusting eyes, so I didn’t have to worry.

“Detective.”

“Ah. I’m no longer a detective.”

“Would you like to work with me?”
