Chapter 732 – 733. Working Behind the Scenes

‘Damn it…Yet…No one…Hasn’t picked it…What the fuck.’

Hearing Jegalchan’s words, Lee Jae-won was silent and agonized.

It was because I couldn’t understand it.

How can a body be found slaughtered in a brothel when the true culprit himself is here?

“Is the culprit specific?”

Soon, Lee Jae-won slowly opened his mouth and asked.

It’s about the perpetrator’s actions.

“We’ll know when the detailed autopsy results come out, but for now, we’re assuming that he’s the same person as the culprit in the previous case.”

“Are you referring to Jangsam in the previous case?”

“…That’s right.”

Jegalchan nodded with a calm expression on his face.

“The basis for that judgment?”

Lee Jae-won asked with a suspicious look on his face.

There was no way they were the same person.

I was stuck in my office

How can you commit a crime

It was absurd.

“The condition of the body found was very similar to the previous one.”

“Is it similar?”

“Yes. The limbs were deformedly bent, there were obvious signs of sexual torture, and most of all, the neck was turned three times. It was similar to the previous liver murder case.”

Jegalchan continued with a calm expression on his face.

‘Fuck’

And Lee Jae-won, who heard that, spat out a curse.

It was because the condition of the body was exactly the same as the crime he had committed.

‘What the hell… The hell… How… Did it happen…’

Jaewon Lee felt confused.

It was because it was not easy to properly grasp the situation with his shallow mind.

How much time has passed

‘Could it be a copycat crime?’

In an instant, Lee Jae-won’s eyes twinkled.

It was because his mind was clear.

If it was a copycat crime, it was because everything was explained.

Someone who admired him imitated the murder case that had happened so far.

I saw it somewhere while surfing the web.

Crazy bastards try to gain fame by copying crime.

He must be one of those crazy bastards.

Or it could be a scum full of evil trying to get out of the line of guilt by blaming Jang-sam for all the sins.

“…Have you identified the body?”

“I haven’t figured it out yet…”

Jegal-chan continued his speech with a face as if he had no face.

“Isn’t identifying the victim’s identity the most basic of the basics?! How come even that basic is not properly done!”

Lee Jae-won continued with a slightly angry expression.

“Since the face is severely mangled, identification is hindered.”

“Is your face crushed?”

“Yes, it looks like it got its face crushed on the floor in the process of being thrown away.”

“…Right.”

Lee Jae-won continued as if he agreed.

I got it.

Even when he dumped corpses in the brothel, the victim’s face would often be ground.

It was because if you threw it roughly because it was annoying, it was ground as it was.

‘For a moment’

In an instant, something flashed in Jaewon’s mind.

‘This might be an opportunity.’

And soon, a faint smile began to appear on his lips.
Because I thought things weren’t so bad.

“Where is the body now?”

Soon, Lee Jae-won straightened up and spoke in a cold voice.

“Currently, it is said that the law enforcement party is keeping it.”

“Yes?”

Hearing this, Lee Jae-won stood up from his seat.

“Where are you planning to go?”

“I’m thinking of meeting the head of the law enforcement.”

Lee Jae-won spoke in a calm tone.

“You mean the head of the house?”

“That’s right. If it’s the same criminal as you said, the case is serious. Cheonmu-maeng couldn’t prevent Jang-sam’s crime. So I’ll have to check with the head of the law enforcement. Whether or not you have any traces.”

Lee Jae-won continued his speech with a rather serious expression on his face.

Of course it was an excuse.

The reason he went was simple.

It was to draw a clear conclusion that Jangsam was the culprit.

To make him an ugly criminal again.

‘Although the aftermath is strong…’

If Jang-sam makes an official announcement that he caused the murder incident again, the prestige of Cheonmu-maeng will surely be undermined.

It would be like admitting that Jang-sam’s crime was allowed in Jinan, which was no different from Cheonmu-maeng’s front yard.

‘But I have to endure it.’

But it was worth it.

It is because it will be able to raise the unity of the Murim people in Jinan by having Jang-Sam, a martial artist.

In general, people tended to unite when a common enemy arose.

If you create a target to criticize and hate, you will feel a sense of camaraderie and fellowship.

Jangsam will be a great wretch who will arouse the people’s wrath and receive criticism.

And their unity will soon be replaced by the strength of the Cheonmu Maeng.

‘I can’t believe there’s an event like this…’

A deep smile formed on Lee Jae-won’s lips.

“If you conclude that the head of the law enforcement is the same person, what do you think you will do?”

“I will issue an order to kill him.”

Lee Jae-won continued with his cold eyes twinkling.

“With the cooperation of everyone in Jinan, we will build a united front and then spread the aspirations of Heaven. So that no one can escape Jinan.”

“With everyone’s cooperation?”

“That’s right. We will build cooperation with all those who have eyes and ears, such as military personnel residing in Jinan, government officials, police officers, merchants, farmers, and farms.”

“…Then there should be a big public announcement.”

“That’s right. Just in case, ask me to find the right place.”

Lee Jae-won looked at Jegal-chan and asked for a favor.

For a large-scale public announcement, a large venue was needed to accommodate a large number of people.

“Okay. I’ll do that.”

Jegal Chan shook his head and accepted the words.

“Thank you. Then I’ll go to the law enforcement party.”

Jaewon Lee immediately turned around.

And he just started walking outside.

Without the slightest hesitation.

Jegalchan looked at Lee Jaewon’s back.

With eyes that are as cold as the north wind and cold snow.

************

Law enforcement

Jerk jerk jerk

Jaewon Lee moved quickly.

In my heart, I wanted to run and exercise the divine law, but

I tried to quell that craving.

He was to keep his dignity as the lord of heaven.

How is it that the majestic leader of the Heavenly Armed Forces frivolously exerts divine law in the league?

It was absurd.

He kept his stern expression and moved on.

How far did you go

Soon he was reachable.

To a production plant where he makes the evidence and the culprit as he pleases.

Kiki profit

Soon, Lee Jae-won opened the door without hesitation.

And he began to move his steps without hesitation.

Towards Paeng Garyeon’s office.

And shortly after

He could arrive

It is the private office of the ruling party leader.

Knock Knock Knock

Lee Jae-won knocked on the door slowly.

“Who are you?”

Then a familiar woman’s voice began to ring in my ears.
It was the voice of Peng Karian, the head of the house and one of his wives.

“Hmm… Hmm… Fly.”

Lee Jae-won let out a couple of coughs and then opened his mouth.

“Come on in.”

This profit

Soon, her permission was given, and Lee Jae-won opened the door without hesitation.

“Welcome, lord.”

When he opened the door, Paeng Karian greeted him with a kind expression.

“It seems like I haven’t seen you in a long time.”

“It’s really like that. I’m sorry. I should have visited more often…”

Upon hearing his words, Paeng Karyeon immediately apologized.

“No, isn’t it the other general who didn’t come? So don’t worry.”

The two smiled slightly and began to exude a warm atmosphere.

From the outside, it was a very harmonious sight.

“By the way, for what reason did you step into the law enforcement party today?”

Ga-Lian Pang asked him with a curious expression on her face.

“I heard from the military. A body came in.”

Lee Jae-won continued his words with his eyes twinkling.

“I’d like to hear the opinion of the ruling party leader on him.”

“You mean my opinion?”

“That’s right. As far as the military knows, they say it’s very similar to the murder case committed by Jang-sam…Is that true?”

“Yes, it’s true.”

Pang Ga-Lian nodded her head and opened her mouth.

“It was full of traces very similar to the corpses found previously. Unidentified semen and sexual torture, including abuse, and even the cruelty of turning the head…And…”

Paeng Ga-ryun began to explain the similarities one by one.
To make it easier for Lee Jae-won to understand.

‘Ah, explanation bug’

And Lee Jae-won, who heard her words, just waited for her words to end.

What he wanted to hear was the conclusion.

Such a lengthy explanation is a specification.

“…So…The conclusion that it’s not like they’re the same person…”

“What?!”

For a moment, Lee Jae-won raised his voice as if surprised.

This was because a different conclusion was drawn than expected.

“Why are they not the same person!?”

Lee Jae-won asked again with an expression as if he did not understand.

“Didn’t I tell you? The situation is very strange to treat them as the same person.”

“…What on earth do you mean strange?”

“It seems that the lord did not pay attention to my story.”

“…Sorry…I was thinking about something else…”

Lee Jae-won blushed at his embarrassment.

‘What side is this? Fuck’

For he felt that he had been fully exposed to the fact that he had been bruised.

“No. You can. Then I’ll tell you again.”

Pang Ga-ryun shook her head from side to side and continued her words.

“First of all, the way we deal with victims is different from the existing ones.”

“What do you mean? I’ve heard that the bodies are in the same condition?”

“The infliction of sexual torture and the brutal killing are similar. I believe it was the same criminal. However, I think the fact that the victim’s face was crushed is proof that the two cases should be viewed separately.”

“…Aren’t there a few of the previous victims whose faces have been slashed?”

“The situation is different. If the previous victims were carelessly crushed in the process of being moved, in this case, the face was deliberately crushed to such an extent that they could not even be identified.”

Pang Ga-ryan continued her words with her sharp eyes twinkling.

“I’m Jang-sam, who didn’t touch his face. There’s no reason to touch him.”

Paeng Ga-ryun continued with a confident voice.

“…But with that alone, can’t we conclude that they are not the same criminal?”

“Of course, there are other differences as well.”

After hearing her words, Paeng Ga-ryan nodded her head and continued.

“The previous victims were all members of the Cheonmu League who disappeared inside. Most of them were also members of the Phoenix Party. But this time, the victims are not members of the League.”

“If you’re not sure of your identity, how can you know that?”

“Currently, none of the members of the Alliance are missing.”

Pang Ga-Lian continued, slightly frowning at her.

He seemed slightly annoyed at Lee Jae-won’s ignorant question.

‘The first year.’

And Lee Jae-won, who saw that expression, spat out curse words inwardly.

She might not know it, but it was because she was very irritated with her expressing it as it was.

“I understand… After hearing it, it seems that there is a higher possibility that it is not the same criminal.”

“Yes, I personally see it as a copycat crime. Maybe the culprit is also different.”

Pang Ga-ryan continued her words with a twinkle in her confident eyes.

“…By the way, the head of the law enforcement.”

“Yeah, tell me.”

“…Wouldn’t it be better if it was the same criminal?”

Jaewon Lee spoke in a calm voice.

“What do you mean?”

Paeng Ga-ryun asked him with an expression that he did not understand.

“Isn’t it a chaotic situation right now? But another murder case is coming out? The public’s anxiety will inevitably soar.”

Lee Jae-won continued with a sad expression on his face.

“…Are you suggesting that Jang-sam is the suspect in the murder case?”

Paeng Ga-ryun continued with a calm expression.

“I’m not forcing you. I just thought it was better.”

Of course it was forced.

If you don’t listen, I thought I’d try to convince you several times.

“If that happens, the prestige of the Cheonmu-maeng will be diminished?”

“Isn’t that something we have to endure to prevent further chaos?”

Lee Jae-won looked at Paeng Ga-ryun and opened her mouth.

“But…If this is known…”

Paeng Ga-ryun continued with a look of uneasiness on his face.

“Don’t worry about that. Even if it is known, no one will criticize us. The head of the law enforcement is not a god, so how can he know all the truth? It has the property of extinguishing as quickly as it boils.”

“No matter how much it is, deliberately lying is a bit…”

Paeng Ga-ryun put on an expression that seemed unwilling.

‘Why is this bitch bouncing around like this today?’

And Lee Jae-won, who saw this, frowned.

It was because, unlike usual, she was very dissatisfied with her attitude of bouncing around today.

“Madam, listen to me. There are white lies that are permissible in the world. All lies that are told in the public interest are forgivable lies. So do not feel guilty.”

Lee Jae-won continued with a soft expression on his face.

“So please state your position. This crime was also committed by Jangsam.”

Before he knew it, Lee Jae-won began to force rather than solicit.

In order to put the crime on Jangsam again.

After hearing his words, Pang Ga-ryan put on an expression that seemed to be in her agony.

And then she shook her head as if she agreed.

He accepted Lee’s proposal.

Hee hee… As planned.’

Seeing this, Lee Jae-won began to laugh meanly inwardly.

Because I felt like everything was going according to plan.
