“That’s the building.”

After receiving a tip from reporter Yoon Ha-young that the target, a ‘suspicious vehicle’, had not yet come out, Detective Gong cautiously looked around.

It was an ordinary planning agency building, but there was a strange atmosphere flowing through it.

‘Is it just my imagination… or is there really such a thing…?’

The first task given to him was to find out the model and number of the suspicious vehicle.

Of course, if you use an implant exclusively for prosecutors, you can read the vehicle information and identify the owner. But wouldn’t someone who escorts police officers not have prepared for that?

So, first of all, the goal is the car model and number.

“… It’s probably hard to just go in.”

Rainbow Miracle’s security was tight.

Even though entertainment agencies deal with celebrities, security is already strict, but Rainbow Miracle was even more so.

If I reveal that I am an investigator from the prosecution, I can go in, but if I do, it will be immediately revealed that Prosecutor Lee Na-eun is investigating the man commonly referred to as ‘Master’.

In the end, there is no other way than to find out by hiding your identity and going undercover.

Or wait until the ‘Master’s’ car comes out.

‘If you miss it, it’ll be a big problem. Let’s get in.’

He got out of the car and activated the implant.

In an instant, his appearance disappears, and all sounds coming from him also disappear.

– From now on, all your actions will be recorded.

– Please strictly adhere to the regulations.

– Violated the rules-,

Instructions began to appear in my field of vision.

Ignore it and run to Rainbow Miracle.

‘If you have a nano drone, you don’t even need to move it yourself.’

Unfortunately, for him, who was a 7th-grade civil servant and had a prosecutor who was bullied, implant surgery was the only thing he could do.

Even so, it is no different from being chained as every move is reported.

In the mere seconds between crossing the Rainbow Miracle fence and heading to the underground parking lot, the automatic defense implants were deployed.

‘Are you crazy, Miracle!!’

What on earth could possibly be wrapped up in such a defensive manner?

‘… No. Rather than Miracle installing it, it was probably installed by the police escorting him.’

I became more and more curious about the identity of the man called ‘Master’.

And in one corner of my heart, I was worried about Prosecutor Inaeun Lee’s safety.

Is it okay to continue investigating this type of person?

‘Think about random thoughts later.’

I shook my head and entered the underground parking lot.

The interior was nothing special.

A parking lot you see everywhere, dull and gray and filled with all kinds of cars.

‘Over there.’

There he found a car parked sideways, ignoring the parking spaces, with two police vans surrounding it in front and behind.

And there were armed police officers walking around around it.

‘They put the license plate up so you can’t see it.’

The problem is that there is a police van stuck precariously in front and behind the limousine.

You have to drop the police van to see the license plate.

Of course there are police officers too, but that’s impossible.

‘If it was this thorough, even the CCTV would have been disrupted.”

Still, just in case, I decide to give it a try.

Scan and access the LAN cable connected to the closed circuit with the eye implant.

After disabling some of the security, connect the cable.

Tilly,

Ring ring ring.

Run the program.

Access the CCTV and search through the data.

‘Found it.’

I read the footage of ‘Master Do-ryun’s’ vehicle entering the Rainbow Miracle building and entering the underground parking lot.

but,

‘… As expected, the license plate, no, the car itself, is not visible at all.’

I guessed it, but it’s still an absurd situation.

There is a reason why vehicle numbers are mandatory, but why do they cover them up like this?

It was truly bitter to see that someone could so brazenly commit something that was in itself a crime.

“In the end, should I write it?’

If you can’t confirm it through CCTV, you have no choice but to read the information yourself.

Of course, we have prepared for this as well, but we cannot just go back like this.

Direct.

Perhaps because the eye implant is activated, the moment I look at the car, my vision goes dark.

However, soon another implant will be used and the restoration will be restored.

Perhaps, someone who later sees the implant usage history might mistake the investigator named Gong Jin-cheol for someone who has infiltrated a defense industry company.

– Target confirmed.

– Start extracting information.

Although he uses optical camouflage and sound shielding, he hides himself among surrounding vehicles and only exposes his head.

– Access is denied.

‘… This still won’t work-,’

Jiiing.

at that time.

The automatic door connecting the underground parking lot and the interior of the building opened and a woman appeared.

She was a woman with blonde hair tied in a ponytail and a rather racy body.

Moreover, she is a beauty who can steal the attention of even a purposeful public investigator.

‘That person…?’

Looking closely, he is wearing a police uniform.

“Team Leader!”

“Are you out!”

The police officers guarding the vehicle ran up and saluted.

It seems like it’s their superiors.

“… .”

The woman looked around in silence.

and-,

Taang-!

“!!!”

He fires his gun at the detective without any warning.

I brushed past him within an inch of his length.

“Team Leader?!”

“The rat came in. Catch him!”

“!”

“Uh, when??”

‘What the hell…! You’re just going to shoot right away?? Without warning???’

Taang! Bang!

Fire the gun in succession.

They’re obviously using optical camouflage and sound masking to confuse their position, but their shots are quite accurate.

“Implant user. Block the parking lot entrance and seal the main gate.”

“Lazy.”

Red lights come on throughout the parking lot and an alarm sounds.

The alarm would probably have gone off not only here but throughout the building.

‘I’m screwed!’

The parking lot doors begin to close.

‘This isn’t at the level of a report.’

Anyway, the other person is a police officer, so if you reveal your identity, you might be able to get out alive.

But then, the person in charge, Inaeun Lee, will be exposed.

Do you respond by engaging in a shootout? That’s out, because the opponents are far more numerous, and investigators are literally people who investigate – and are assistants – not people who fight.

On the other hand, the opponents are heavily armed police. There is even a machine gun mounted on the van.

Should I run away then?

‘No. It’s already been reported that I used implants here… It’s just a matter of time before it becomes known.’

It would have been okay if I hadn’t gotten caught at all.

Because information expands through perception.

There is no reason to suddenly look into the prosecution’s implant usage history when nothing happened.

But what if you knew someone was breaking in?

The other person will start searching here and there.

‘It might be better to reveal your identity.’

Even if they are a bunch of jerks, they won’t kill you for no reason just because you say you’re a prosecutor.

I shot without knowing, but it turned out that he was a prosecutor’s investigator.

I knew he was a prosecutor, but I just shot him dead. That’s a whole other level of problem.

Besides, isn’t the other person also a civil servant?

It would be beneficial to reveal your identity and have a conversation to get some information.

“Okay, wait a minute!!”

After making his decision, he removed the implant and raised both hands.

“I am on official duty… .”

+++

I, who was educating Emilia, had no choice but to move because of Sua’s urgent report.

There were police officers, including Su-ah, in a warehouse-like space, and a man was tied to a chair with a paper bag over his face.

This fucking kid.

How dare you interrupt my work?

“Incheon Central District Prosecutors’ Office, Criminal Division 3, Investigator Gong Jin-cheol?”

“Yes, yes… .”

Suah started the interrogation.

“Why are you here?”

“As I said, I am on official duty… . Isn’t this too much? Between fellow civil servants-,”

“If you were on official duty, you could have just told the company and come in, but why did you sneak in using an implant? It wasn’t even an infiltration operation.”

“That’s because… . Le, Rainbow Miracle is under investigation. It had to be done secretly because she’s suspected of a serious crime. So we can hide the information. ”

I can see a rough outline of the tail.

Reporter Yoon Ha-young reported the video to the prosecution, and Prosecutor Lee Na-eun, who was assigned to the case, sent her subordinate investigator.

‘Are you worried that if you come in with your real identity, it will be known to your superiors?’

“The inspector there is someone named Inaeun?”

“… .”

When I asked him, he kept his mouth shut.

“Rainbow Miracle was an excuse, and I think they wanted to dig me up. You contacted reporter Yoon Ha-young a while ago, right? That prosecutor.”

“… .”

I opened Yoon Ha-young’s surveillance log.

She’s been hanging around Rainbow Miracle since Saturday afternoon until today.

You probably saw me coming here too.

“Prosecutor Lee Na-eun, who received the request, started investigating me, and received information from reporter Yoon Ha-young that I was here, so she sent you.”

“… .”

He still remained silent.

It seemed as if he was planning to completely ignore what I said.

“You’re ignoring me. If you want to know my identity, shouldn’t you talk to me?”

“… Please release me. If you continue like this, you are obstructing official duties.”

“This is also official duty? Their job is to escort me, and you were caught hanging around me. Which means that it is the official duty of these police officers to reveal your purpose. They are clearly performing official duties. Us too.”

“Don’t make me laugh!! That, that’s official work!!”

He had a seizure.

The word ‘public service’ seems to have touched a sore spot.

He screamed and yelled for a long time and then started to grumble.

It’s really noisy.

‘There’s no point in saying more.’

“Shall I tell you?”

“… What?”

“Who am I.”

“… !!”

I approached him.

I quickly ripped open the paper bag.

“!!”

“Look carefully. Do you understand me?”

“… .”

He shook his head slowly.

Of course you wouldn’t know. You’re not a celebrity.

I pronounced my name word for word so that he could understand it right away.

“Rubber heat.”

“Rubber… heat… ?”

“Oh. My grandfather is Go Young-man.”

“… ?”

His face, which had been blank for a moment, slowly began to turn red with shock.

It’s like watching slow motion.

“Consideration… Group… ?”

Shock soon turned to despair.

“Hey, inspector…!”

“What a pitiful will.”

He stepped back, smoking a cigarette.

Su-ah put the gun to the man’s temple.

Taang-!

Brains and blood are sprayed.
