chapter 15
“What happened?”
At the talk of working together, the detective put down his spoon. He was frowning, but it seemed that he was interested as he didn’t leave his seat.
‘Before that, there’s something I need to check first.’
When working together, the most important thing was trust. When you trust someone you can’t trust, things go wrong.
‘There were times when I was stupidly fooled…’
You should have noticed when I was suddenly entrusted with asset management. Because I lost everything while bluffing that good is good.
Family and credit…
‘My ex-wife couldn’t be considered a family member at that time.’
But this time it was different. Because there was a special technique to measure the other person’s trust before having a deep conversation.
‘Use the eyes of trust.’
A pop-up floated above the detective’s head.
[Reliability 70%]
[Cooldown: 23 hours 59 minutes 59 seconds]
Even with such a defensive attitude, the reliability is 70%. It meant that there was little chance of him betraying me. In other words, it was a story that this person was quite trustworthy.
After getting the eyes of trust, I scanned the trustworthiness of the people around me to collect cases.
[No Yuri reliability 60%]
Contrary to his appearance, he was not a trustworthy person.
[Park Min-seok reliability 70%]
It kept me in check, but it was more reliable than it looked. Because he was the one who introduced me to the professor who had been hired in the first place.
Thanks to you, I was able to make a good program.
[Imhanul Reliability 90%]
Considering that the father is 95%, it was a huge number. I am really grateful that you believe in me this much. If the opportunity comes someday, I want to help with all my might.
Because now I have the ability to do that.
[Neighborhood residents 1 reliability 40%]
I also tried it on a local resident I ran into while jogging around the house. The reliability in the state of not even being greeted properly was 40%.
No matter how much rumors of embezzlement spread, the people in the neighborhood treated my family as criminals without even knowing the facts.
‘There are people whose loyalties change easily, but this is a place I’ve lived since I was a child, so it’s too much. That’s why my father’s store is out of business.’
[Convenience store clerk reliability 50%]
I also tested it with a convenience store clerk who had nothing to do with it. Female employees seemed to have a large variance, so male employees were evaluated.
This was not necessarily proportional to liking. According to the explanation of the system, the higher the trust, the less likely to betray me.
There are people who are lighthearted even though they have a high affinity, and there are people who do not betray even if they have a low affinity, so it can be seen that it is related to a person’s personality.
His trust index is similar to that of Park Min-seok. It was a story that I didn’t feel attractive as a human being, but it was enough to not mix emotions in work.
‘Still, I’ll have to raise the level of trust when talking in earnest.’
It was difficult to bring up a sensitive topic because I still can’t fully trust him. However, it seemed that I could leave the research to the extent of the data.
Even if he is rotten, he is a person who used to live a criminal life.
He pours a glass of soju and inhales it.
“Main subject.”
He poured another glass into his mouth without looking at me.
“I’d like you to do some research.”
“What research?”
“An investigation to clear the frame.”
“What’s your false name…”
He sighed and looked at me with a sidelong glance.
But the eyes of trust don’t lie. It seems to be mocking, but he wants to believe me and needs proof.
But there was no need to make excuses.
If you can’t present usable evidence, you’ll only lose credibility. Besides, since he was a detective, he should have been able to get better data than I had.
“If you investigate, you will find out.”
“what?”
“The truth.”
“······why bother me···.”
he muttered.
“Would you like to make a bet with me? I will give you 100 million if you find proper evidence that I am guilty.”
“1 million?”
His eyes flashed.
“Whose dog’s name is 100 million?”
1 million? It’s not even a daily wage for me now. Even now, hundreds of millions of transactions were taking place on my mobile phone.
Besides, if I’m not guilty, can there be any proper evidence?
He takes out his Bentley keys and puts them on the table, and he gulps.
“The money that was embezzled. Do you think you hid it and then find it and use it?”
“Let’s investigate that too.”
I had never embezzled, so I had nothing to be afraid of.
“Okay. Cole! There’s no money later? I’m going to the ends of hell to get it.”
His eyes burned with lust for victory.
A worthy partner would be able to uncover the obscure corners of my conviction.
If he couldn’t even find that, I didn’t need him either.
“Doesn’t the detective run away because he’s scared while investigating?”
“What? Who’s scared? Who’s scared!”
He got up and hit the table with his fist. bang! The loud noise drew attention to the surroundings.
The eyes of the people who were eating around gathered.
“what?”
“what’s the matter?”
“Calm down. You’re amazing all around you.”
The detective sighed and looked around. Office workers who were having lunch were glancing at us.
He bowed his head slightly in an awkward posture.
“I’m sorry.”
As soon as I sat down, I got to the point. I unlocked my phone and handed it to the detective.
“Put a number on me.”
He stared at my phone and accepted it.
“Number? That’s great. If the source of the money is embezzlement, you’re a piece of sh*t.”
He took a number and gave it back. As soon as I received it, I called the number.

Jiying. I checked that his cell phone was ringing and hung up.
“It’s the same for detective. If you run away, I’ll put you on the Internet as a sleazy detective.”
“What? Creepy?”
“The time limit is one week.”
“What is it? Why are there conditions all of a sudden?”
“Aren’t you confident?”
“If you don’t have confidence, who says you’re not confident!”
He raised his fist and tried to slam it down on the table, but hesitated. He looked around and slowly lowered his fist.
‘I should drink moderately during the day.’
The red soju was already showing the bottom.
“I’m Jaegu Kim.”
“I know. Jaegu Kim of Gangmyeong Corporation.”
The detective tapped his phone and answered. If you can remember the company name clearly, you have a good memory. His behavior was rough and could be misunderstood, but he wasn’t stupid.
“Since I introduced myself, please tell me your name too, detective.”
He snorted and put his phone in his pocket.
“If you think Kim Jae-goo is innocent, I will greet you formally.”
good. Sooner or later, you’ll notice that something is wrong with the case. If you don’t have that level of skill, you won’t be able to work with me anyway.
Putting two 50,000 won bills down on the table, he stood up. I thought it would be nice to go to the bathroom and buy some rice.
“Take care of your health and investigate.”
“What is this?
he shook his head.
“Don’t do that, take care of your health…”
“Do I look like a beggar?”
The detective glared at me as if he would hit me at any moment. I thought I had hurt my pride, so I put the money back in.
Seeing that, he clicked his tongue.
“F*ck. I know what a beggar I am.”
Looking at his face, he looks like a homeless person…
“It was an activity fee, but if you don’t like it, drink it.”
“The activity fee is a bummer. It must be a bribe.”
It was a sharp voice.
Until the charges were cleared, I thought that being in front of him would only make me angry, so I decided to leave the place in a hurry.
I couldn’t open a few spoons, but I still didn’t want to eat in front of an uncomfortable person.
“I’ll get up first.”
“Aren’t you eating?”
“I feel a little uncomfortable.”
“Don’t blame me.”
“One week.”
The deadline was reminded once again.
“I know even if you don’t say anything.”
I just wanted to know.
He didn’t move until he went to the counter to pay. Even after coming out, I was just sitting there.
‘I should organize my thoughts.’
Thinking so, I turned around, and he started scooping up my soup.
‘I won’t starve to death anywhere.’
It was great speed.
***
Several real estate properties were located on the south side of Teheran-ro from Gangnam Station to Yeoksam Station. The rent was high, but the surrounding market price was high, so even if you caught one, you could get a huge brokerage fee, so many people rushed.
If you trade one apartment with a sales price of 2 billion won, the brokerage fee you can receive is over 10 million won, so even one transaction came out with a month’s rent.
The downtown realtor office was also located on Teheran-ro. Lee Shin-ae, the president, was a newcomer who had only been in Gangnam for two years, but she knew real estate well thanks to her parents who had deep roots in the real estate industry.
‘Is today also a waste of time.’
The stock market crashed and consumer sentiment shrank. Money was expected to flow into real estate, but even the real estate market was frozen.
A man in a shiny suit with waxed bangs entered the property. The way he awkwardly rolled up his shirt so that the gold watch was visible was really dumb.
Still, a guest is a guest, so I said hello first.
“welcome.”
“Shin-ae, good evening. How are you?”
“Yes. Thanks.”
“What are you doing after work today? Shall we go for a drive if there is nothing to do?”
“I have work today.”
When I was working, there were times when people like dung flies came around. They were mostly suddenly rich people who suddenly made money, or gold spoons.
Those who became rich suddenly boasted about their money in front of her without stopping, as if thorns would grow in their mouths if they did not boast about their money.
“Really? Then, haven’t there been any good deals? I’m thinking of investing in another one this time. You have to make money to make money so you can become richer, right?”
“Good idea. Boss. How do you like this property? This is a new property…”
Of course, we did our best for our guests. Whether you are a dung fly or not, the moment you see real estate, you are an equal guest.
“Ah. The price is a little high. Can’t it be cheaper?”
“This is a really urgent sale.”
“Don’t do that.”
“I’ll have a talk with the seller.”
There was one truck of people who had no intention of living anyway, but were willing to at least get a face stamp. He boasted that he had inherited a large amount of 3 billion won from his parents, but it was obvious that he could buy real estate in Gangnam with 3 billion won.
From her point of view, who has one in Gangnam and two buildings in other parts of Seoul, she was a reluctant opponent, but she did not express herself as a guest.
“Flies fly again today. It’s time to close soon. What are you doing in the evening?”
‘Is this crucian carp?’
I just said that I had a job, but I asked again. Still, he smiled and answered.
“I have work today.”
There were no promises. I just wanted to get rid of the flirtatious opponent.
“Didn’t you say you don’t have a boyfriend? I think you’ll be able to meet a decent guy with Shin-ae.”
I felt bad for the sticky eyes sticking to me, so I naturally walked over to my seat and sat down. There were still 30 minutes left before closing.
It seemed like a really long 30 minutes.
The man got up from the couch and came over to her.
“Where. Can you show me if there are good deals?”
Gently pushing away the hand resting on her shoulder, she mentally asked for help.
‘Please someone help me!’
daughter and daughter.
The door opened and the bell hanging at the entrance made a clear sound.
“Boss. This is the person who came to see the office earlier in the morning.”
Unlike the halibut-like face next to him, a man who looked like a human entered. It was Kim Jae-gu.
She jumped up from her seat.
“welcome!”
“It sucks.”
The man licked his lips and took a step back. I had no intention of buying it anyway unless it was a huge rush sale. Because I had 3 billion won, so I couldn’t use it to look good to women.
Kim Jae-goo glanced at her and the man and caught the mood.
“Can I see the office I saw the third time again?
Lee Shin-ae also caught Kim Jae-gu’s intention. She turned to the man.
“Guest. I’m sorry. He made a reservation… It’s a really urgent sale.”
