Ch 169:

Son Jin-ho, who volunteered to be bait, returned as a cold corpse, and Yoo Yeon-seo, dressed in a police uniform, appeared. The drug investigation team, with solemn expressions, bid farewell to their team leader. As they stood in front of the funeral home, they encountered Prosecutor Park Ki-hoon.

"What are you doing here? Didn't I tell you to back off?"

"It looks like you had a nice meal with the chairman of Mo-yeong Group at that sushi restaurant in Cheongdam-dong..."

"What?"

Prosecutor Park flinched. How did they know that...?

"It just so happens that the chairman's son is connected to the organization... Why did you meet with him, Prosecutor Park?"

"H-how did you...?"

Prosecutor Park hastily glanced at Oh Tae-seong. Known for hacking the police department's billboard, Oh Tae-seong was specially recruited for his skills. Park's look seemed to accuse him of hacking personal information.

But even Oh Tae-seong was equally surprised. He had no idea what was being discussed, but Park's guilty reaction spoke volumes.

(What's going on... Why is he acting like this?)

As if reading minds... On second thought, there had been several suspicious incidents.

(Why's this guy suddenly acting weird?)

(Come to think of it, how did he manage to figure everything out during interrogations?)

(And even Team Leader Son used to...)

Han Yoo-jun could feel his colleagues looking at him strangely as he continued to speak non-stop.

He detailed exactly where Prosecutor Park had gone, who he met, and what he was thinking when he arrived here. He also revealed how Park had received bribes and with whom he had corrupt ties.

"S-stop!"

"How much money was in the drink box you received from Assemblyman Choi? What do you think will happen when this is exposed?"

"What do you think you're doing? Are you trying to frame me?"

"Frame you? I'm just telling the truth."

I'm reading your thoughts. Prosecutor Park took a step back when he met Han Yoo-jun's gaze, now seeing him like a monster, but that didn't matter.

'But how did he know?'

Even Prosecutor Park didn't know that they were planning to raid the headquarters of "Snake." It had been kept secret. He had read his colleagues' thoughts, but none of them had betrayed him.

("I told you to back off while you still could, just like Son Jin-ho.")

The voice he had heard at the crime scene suddenly came to mind.

"How did I know? Why don't you ask 'Snake' yourself?"

"...You're not going to get away with this. You'd better be ready."

Exposed, Prosecutor Park kept up a tough front until the end but quickly fled the scene. Han Yoo-jun turned to look at his colleagues. Seeing their hesitant faces, he smiled bitterly.

"...Wasn't that a bit much?"

"But how did you know?"

"What should we do now? Should we stop the investigation?"

But his colleagues' 'voices' were firm. They were determined to find 'Snake,' the one who killed Son Jin-ho. These were people he could trust. After thinking for a moment, Han Yoo-jun suddenly lifted his head.
