After looking at the work sheet, Kang Chan saw Inspector Park Du-yeol.

“… … Inspector Park, what is this?”

“Yes? Ah, haha!”

Inspector Park Du-yeol avoids his eyes.

“I’m not sure what you’re talking about. Haha.”

Recently, Inspector Park Du-yeol, who had been on patrol with Kang Chan, was removed and replaced by Inspector Jeong Seung-mi.

I’m sure this was changed because Park Du-yeol suggested it above.

As I looked at the work sheet and Park Du-yeol in turn, Park Du-yeol, who had finally given up on fighting, sighed.

“Hmm, I thought it would be good for the two of us to become friends. Since we are in the same rank and graduated from the police academy together, wouldn’t it be nice to become friends?”

“Chief Inspector Park, this is useless interference.”

“Ah, don’t be too stiff. I know that Inspector Kang is actually a good person.”

It was like this.

The reason why Kang Chan wanted to be treated like a bad guy in Earth University.

Excessive attention tends to limit secret actions.

“If Inspector Jeong Seung-mi goes with you, you will know his good qualities.”

“There are no good points, and even if there are, I don’t want to tell you about them.”

However, it is not possible to change the arrangement that has already been decided.

I just hoped that I wouldn’t find the villain while I was with her.

“Let’s go on patrol.”

At that time, Lieutenant Jeong Seung-mi approached and said.

Park Doo-yeol shrugged his shoulders at her sharp tone.

Then he mouthed the words ‘fighting’ and squinted his eyes.

What are you asking me to do?

Kang Chan swallowed a growing sigh and went out on patrol.

Kang Chan sat in the driver’s seat and Jeong Seungmi sat in the passenger seat.

There was silence between the two.

Seungmi Jeong was the first to break the silence.

“I don’t know how we became partners, but let’s do our best while patrolling together.”

“… … .”

Kang Chan didn’t bother to reply to that.

As originally planned, the idea was to solidify the image of a low-level police officer.

As much as Seungmi Jeong was annoyingly clinging to me, I was planning to separate myself further from her.

Only then will I be able to work more freely as Master X.

“I understand that I can ignore it now. I understand that feeling. But know this. From school until now, I have never been able to defeat you, and I will try my best to defeat you somehow.”

Kang Chan went on patrol with Jeong Seung-mi next to him, who was making unknown determination.

Nothing special happened.

Even though villains often appeared in Glass District, the crime rate for the general public was quite low.

Quiet and not too many people.

Occasionally there were genuine complaints, but other than that, it was a neighborhood without any problems.

‘But why are there more villains? … .’

In a strange situation, I asked Cha Hee-joo for information, but she also responded that she did not know.

-I couldn’t find anything special in the information I had. If it was planned by someone, it may be someone who has a more skilled informant than me, or someone who knows about my existence.

-If not, it might really be a natural flow. For example, are you targeting Master X, who has been hunting down villains recently?

Since I couldn’t figure out the reason, it was difficult to know what to do.

If, as Cha Hee-joo said, villains targeting Master X are really gathering… … .

‘It’s going to be difficult in many ways.’

Perhaps it seemed necessary to move the workplace to another location.

Since Jeong Seung-mi happened to be here, there was enough reason to move.

‘Let’s think about it slowly.’

Because it wasn’t urgent right now.

How long were you lost in thought?

“Inspector Kang.”

Seungmi Jeong, who was patrolling together in the passenger seat, asked.

“What is it?”

“Are the rumors true?”

I didn’t know what to say, so I glanced at the woman sitting next to me, and she slowly opened her mouth.

“It means that you caused inconvenience to several colleagues by being negligent at work. Is it true that I never tried to work overtime, that I tried to miss work as much as possible if something happened, and that I was also negligent in related exams?”

An unknown flame was burning in her eyes as she looked at Kang Chan.

I thought she must have lost all affection for her after what happened last time, but she was still burning with passion.

okay. Ever since school, she had been an annoying partner.

-I haven’t lost yet! If you don’t give up on the challenge, you won’t be defeated!

She continued to bet on herself by coming up with incomprehensible logic.

-I will definitely take first place away from you! Look forward!

Even if I was pushed back due to test scores.

Even if you lose the physical ability evaluation.

Even when professors told her that Kang-chan was number one, she did not give up at all.

My will alone was upright.

Seungmi Jeong was that kind of woman.

A woman who is better suited to be a police officer than anyone else.

That’s why Kang Chan felt uncomfortable with her.

It reminded me of myself a few years ago, when I first received my commission.

I remembered myself knowing nothing and being full of will.

In the end, she was a woman who did not suit herself at all, collapsing when faced with reality and finding a new direction.

I thought that upright police officers should work with more upright people.

Kang Chan stopped the car at a red light and looked back at Jeong Seungmi.

I could feel the unspoken intention in her eyes to please say no.

What is she expecting from herself?

I couldn’t figure it out.

But one thing was certain.

That the person she is now cannot be the proper police officer she wants.

“All those rumors are true. It’s annoying to work and I don’t like working overtime or all night, so I work haphazardly. After all, police officers are public servants and shouldn’t they just work properly? I have no power, no ability, and no authority.”

At those words, Jeong Seung-mi’s brows furrowed.

She shook her head slightly and repeated.

“You didn’t do that at the police academy. I always run, jump, and act so as not to miss out on first place… … . You worked harder than anyone else. Why now… … .”

“Do you know why I worked hard at the police academy? It was all in order to pass as the top student. If you are appointed as a chief, you can receive many benefits. Now that I have been commissioned, there is no need to work hard.”

“Lie… … .”

“It’s not a lie.”

The traffic light turned blue again.

Kang Chan stepped on the accelerator, and the police car moved forward smoothly.

“It’s all true.”

Kang Chan looked straight ahead again.

That’s why I couldn’t see her expression.

The expression on his face that couldn’t hide the disappointment that had grown as much as the expectations he had for Kang Chan.

“So, Inspector Jeong, don’t expect too much. The more you expect, the greater your disappointment.”

Since then, the frequency with which Jeong Seung-mi approaches Kang Chan has decreased.

Kang Chan felt fortunate.

That’s how free I feel.

“Thank you for your hard work.”

After work hours were over today, Kang Chan left work as usual.

The eyes of the police officers who saw Kang Chan getting up and leaving work were full of such emotions, but only one person, Jeong Seung-mi, could not erase the light of disappointment.

***

The rooftop of a building.

“Off! Hmm! Ugh!”

A man was struggling with his entire body tied up.

Even his mouth was tied, so he was just struggling on the spot, unable to run or get away.

“Hmm~.”

A woman humming while looking at such a man.

Again! Again.

Wearing dizzying high heels and a bright red dress that revealed her entire body, she approached the man.

She had a body that was truly violent towards the opposite sex.

Breasts that bounce up and down every time she walks, a slim waist, and hips that show off their presence just as much as her breasts.

She had such beauty that I was certain that even models could not have a body like this.

That was why the man was caught.

While passing through a dark alley, the woman said her high heel was broken and asked me to help her.

How could I refuse such a beautiful woman asking for help?

He said he understood and took her broken high heel heels and lightly wrapped his arms around her waist to support her.

The feeling of my heart at that time was truly… … .

But that wasn’t the reason why he had to be caught like this.

I didn’t understand.

Why do you have to be caught like this?

“No matter how much you like the girl, it’s the same. If you help someone you don’t know like that, you’ll be in big trouble.”

“Ugh! Ugh!!!”

“Okay. It must be unfair. Because you must have come with a good heart. by the way. Men are so funny. Every time he approaches me looking at my body and face, he always acts like a fool. Isn’t that right?”

In her hand was a black leather whip.

“Ugh!”

The man shook his head as he looked at the woman’s whip.

“Why? Are you afraid of what I might do?”

She swung her whip.

Wow!

“Off!”

When he hit his butt, the man screamed with a loud noise.

The problem is that the sound could not spread out because of the gag in the mouth.

“Don’t worry. Because I won’t eat you.”

She licked the whip that hit her buttocks with her tongue and smiled.

“I’m going to do a test on you. If you prove that you really had no evil intentions towards me, I will let you live. But if you can’t prove it… … .”

She used her whip to remove the gag from the man’s mouth.

“You will die.”

“Sa, please save me! Me, I have no feelings!”

The man realized.

What kind of woman is the woman in front of you?

Sphinx, a female villain who seduces men and decides to kill or save them through problems.

“You’ll know that when you see it.”

The Sphinx hummed and opened its mouth.

“Then the problem is, do you remember which high heel broke when I asked for help?”

“Well, that’s… … .”

“You sure you can’t think about it? Doesn’t that mean you were so captivated by my breasts that you couldn’t bear to look at them?”

She seductively gathered her cleavage slightly.

“Who, who remembers all that! Before you caught me, I was hit in the head and lost consciousness!”

“Hmm… … . That makes sense. Then I’ll ask the question again.”

Did my desperate cry reach me?

The Sphinx smiled and backed away, declaring that he would change the problem.

“Then did I just hold the whip with my right hand or my left hand?”

“… … .”

The man couldn’t answer.

Because I couldn’t see it because of the woman’s gathered cleavage.

A cold sweat broke out.

right hand? Left hand? Where was it?

The probability of a correct answer is 50%.

I shook my head desperately.

‘Left? right? right? Left?’

The man’s eyes turned quickly.

I tried to wriggle around to see my hands behind my back, but it was no use.

“3, 2, 1… … .”

Countdown to death.

Now it was time to answer.

“Oh, right hand!”

“Ding, unfortunately it’s my left hand.”

In the Sphinx’s left hand was a leather whip.

“Oh, no… … .”

“An animal cub that cannot overcome its desires must die.”

“Sa, please save me… … .”

“No. You are not human.”

Wow!

In the dark of night, a man’s screams echoed throughout the city.

***

click! click! click!

Police officers were examining the body for an on-site investigation.

“Desiccated corpse, even in the meantime… … . The lower part is stiff… … .”

Inspector Yoo Seong-tae, who was dispatched to the scene with Jeong Seung-mi, clicked his tongue.

“This is not our business.”

“It’s not ours?”

“It’s literally like that. Inspector Jeong, since this is a villain case, it is no longer our responsibility.”

Jeong Seung-mi responded in surprise at his words.

“No matter how much of a villain case it is, does it make sense to entrust it to the Hunter Police? This is how we mobilized.”

“Oh, you said you were at the National Police Agency. Is this your first time at the scene of a villain incident?”

“Yes.”

Captain Yoo Seong-tae clicked his tongue and answered.

“We are absolutely the villain. I can’t smell it.”

Piyong-. Piyong-. Piyong-.

As soon as he finished speaking, a police car with Hunter police officers approached.

“The person in charge is here, prepare to withdraw! Just hand over the handover and move on.”

Seungmi Jeong looked at them and clenched her fists.

Why?

What came to mind was Kang Chan’s words about not expecting too much.
