“Yes, you are a rookie who just became a hero?”

“Yes.”

“…A, I heard it’s an important case…”

Gangnam Police Station, Seoul.

The man who introduced himself as the head of the homicide squad frowned and sighed.

Rather than sighing at me, it was a sigh filled with dissatisfaction with the Hero Association that had introduced me here.

“Sorry for sighing. This is such a dangerous thing, but I don’t understand why they’re sending a hero who is just starting his career…”

“No, it’s okay.”

It’s dangerous.

I expected it.

Homicide squad.

Although I don’t have much knowledge about the police, I knew that the homicide unit deals with dangerous cases such as violent crimes, murders, violence, and drugs.

Moreover, in the hero world, there is a high probability that villains will be involved in violent crimes, so it would be even more dangerous.

You might be worried about leaving it to a new hero.

In addition, since most of the members of the homicide squad were ordinary people, not heroes, the fact that they desperately needed help from heroes also played a role.

I’ve just become a hero, so I’m sure I’m worried.

I think that reaction is normal.

“Well, anyway… thank you. Write this down, and I’ll explain the incident later, so let’s meet after lunch by 2 o’clock.”

Holding out a piece of paper, the class leader hurriedly walked somewhere.

Everyone else in the homicide squad seemed busy too.

12 o’clock.

Even though it was lunch time, I couldn’t see anyone getting off their seats.

It was definitely nice to see everyone working hard, but at the same time, it was a sight that made my heart heavy.

It’s never good news when the homicide squad is busy.

All I had to do was fill out the paper with my personal information.

Name, resident registration number, address, mobile phone number and hero rank.

The contents were not difficult, so I filled out the blank spaces without hesitation.

I quickly wrote everything down and slowly looked around, thinking about going to have lunch.

It was a strange feeling.

If I’m not in a moment like this, when will I ever see the police headquarters and the homicide squad again?

I looked around blankly and saw a room marked as an interrogation room.

“…Does it appear often in that movie?”

A place where you can have a one-on-one conversation with the criminal and make them confess or reveal their secrets.

I got interested, so I peeked inside and to my surprise, there was a man sitting there.

His hands were handcuffed, and his eyes were shining sharply.

Although it was small in size, the sharp atmosphere seemed to come to life even more.

He was a man like a dagger.

There was a huge tattoo of a wolf tattooed on his neck.

“…”

I wanted to interrogate the man like in the movies, but that wasn’t possible, so I just memorized his face.

There were many restaurants around the police headquarters, and all of them were fully booked.

There were many people working at the police headquarters, and the police station was close to a busy area, so there was nothing we could do.

“But the scenery…”

Every restaurant was full of people.

Everyone had sharp bodies and sharp eyes.

Fortunately, the situation was good in restaurants that served Western or Japanese food, which were frequented by women.

If you take a quick look at places like Gukbap or Baekban Restaurant, you can’t tell whether it’s a restaurant or a secret hideout for villains.

In the end, the place I chose was just a nearby hamburger restaurant.

It was a homemade hamburger restaurant, with a provocative phrase written in large letters saying that it embodies the taste of the American mainland.

I was drawn in by that phrase, but the price was too steep.

I never would have guessed that even the price would embody the American mainland.

Still, in this world, I had financial resources.

“Please give me one set and a cola drink.”

“…Yes.”

It was a short answer, but it was slurred.

The face is clearly Korean.

They say it tastes like the American mainland, but is it really a person who has lived in the United States?

There were not many people inside the small store.

A large man who appears to be a foreigner and a pair of foreign lovers.

I was the only Korean.

It seemed that spending 30,000 won on a handmade burger set was the reason there were few customers.

“…”

I sat down in an empty seat near the window and waited for the food I ordered to be served.

At that time, a sharp female voice was heard.

“Hey, what is that Asian guy?”

“Lower your voice, look big. Just look at it and you’re a police officer.”

“So you speak Russian. And do you think I’m afraid of the police?”

“…Well.”

“Don’t get me wrong, I just don’t want this place to be discovered.”

The sound of a pair of lovers talking was naturally translated and caught my ear, but I pretended not to notice.

I think we’ll talk more then.

Since they were sitting face to face with each other, it was natural that they were considered lovers, but it seemed more like a secret relationship than that.

I looked at the two people dimly reflected in the window.

It was a woman with short hair that was as sharp as her voice.

“Where is Gangnam?”

“…It’s slowly getting sorted out.”

“Slowly?”

The woman frowned and crossed her legs, as if she didn’t like the man’s answer.

It was a fascinating bridge.

In fact, the man facing the bridge looked scared as he shrugged his shoulders when he saw the woman’s mood change.

“Are you kidding me?”

“…”

“Because of the circumstances, you even added Brody. huh? Isn’t it Brody?”

The man lowered his head at the woman’s cold words.

When the woman gestured, a large foreigner at the entrance, a man called Brody, nodded and gently blocked the entrance.

The man glanced back at the large man and spoke pleadingly to the woman with an even paler face.

“Well, they suddenly joined forces, and on top of that, the police called the Homicide Squad smelled it…”

“Then, deal with those police officers too.”

The woman spoke calmly while chewing her French fries.

The man opened his mouth in surprise, but then calmly persuaded the woman.

“If that were the case, you would have to deal with all the heroes, including the police…”

“But they are all just A-rank and below.”

It was just as he said.

Because I said there are no S-rank heroes in Korea yet.

…Do you mean that you are confident that you will not be defeated by an A-rank hero?

The more I listened, the more my doubts turned into confidence.

At first glance, he is a villain.

It also came from a foreign country. A very powerful villain organization.

I checked the inventory.

There were three items in the inventory.

In the jungle, an expensive necklace that was given to me somewhere and a golden decoration that I picked up on this trip.

Among them, I looked at the jungle island and prepared to take it out.

“Set and cola came out.”

At that time, my food was ready.

I slowly got up from my seat, pretending like nothing had happened, and walked to the counter.

plod along.

The sound of my footsteps echoed loudly in the suddenly quiet restaurant.

There was a strange tension.

A large man, Brody, was guarding the entrance, a foreign man was afraid of the woman and had his head down, and the woman was staring at me.

I passed by and went to the counter, where a man with a slurred accent handed me a hamburger set.

And on the paper wrapped around the hamburger was written:

‘Please don’t fight here. ‘My family is in danger.’

Although the handwriting was crooked, the content was legible.

“…”

In the end, I had no choice but to distract myself from my inventory, get some food, and eat it by the window.

The food was delicious.

After we finished eating, as we were about to leave, Brody sneaked out of the way from the entrance.

Meanwhile, a large hand caught my eye.

‘A wolf.’

The wolf tattoo drawn on the hand was a tattoo that seemed to have been seen somewhere recently.

The man in the interrogation room came to mind.

I looked back at the woman.

Somehow I felt like we would meet again.

As the leader said earlier, we arrived at the homicide squad by 2 o’clock.

When we arrived, there were many people dragging chairs and gathered in front of the screen.

There was a screen somewhere like that.

“Have you finished writing?”

I held out the written paper.

The class president nodded, taking back the paper he had handed over.

“The name is Seonghan… He lives not that far away, and his hero rank is… Huh?!”

The class leader, who was checking each item with his fingers while reading, stopped at one place.

The class leader inadvertently raised a loud voice, so the eyes of the other detectives all turned to him.

“Why are you doing that?”

Another homicide detective who was preparing data walked up to the captain and looked back and forth between the words on the paper and at me.

“…A rank…?”

“Yes.”

“Didn’t you say that you have just become a hero…”

“…Well, I sent it properly this time…”

The class president said that with a shocked expression and neatly placed the paper on the desk.

His expression seemed to brighten a little.

“…Now, presentation.”

When the class leader spoke, everyone took a seat.

I sat in the back.

The man who had been surprised by my rank next to the class president earlier began his presentation.

“Wolf, an international criminal organization that has recently grown rapidly in the United States and Russia, has now expanded its reach to Japan and Korea.”

A picture of a wolf-shaped emblem appeared on the screen.

It was a picture of a wolf that I had seen many times before.

“All executives at the executive level have wolf tattoos on their bodies, and Alan, who was caught this time, also had a large wolf tattoo on his neck.”

The man in the interrogation room came to mind.

“As a result of interrogating Allen, it seems that many of the domestic criminal organizations have already been driven out or taken away, and their power has grown significantly.”

“…No, already? What about the Seongseong faction or the Dobong faction? Aren’t they A-rank villains?”

“Well… I’m guessing that it’s probably an S-rank villain.”

A familiar face appeared on the presentation screen.

“These are the S-rank villains belonging to Wolf.”

I saw pictures of 4 people.

My eyes were fixed on the two in front of them.

It was the woman I saw at the restaurant with Brody, who had a wolf tattoo on her hand.

“Bella.”

I muttered the name and engraved it in my mind.
