Korean TV series: King of Peninsula 1997

Chapter 113 Hunting
At the entrance of the flashing neon nightclub, the scarlet neon lights cast a series of distorted halos. Two rows of men in black suits stood on both sides of the entrance, and in the middle stood Zhao Bingdou, who still had a flat head.

A black luxury car drove slowly and stopped in front of the nightclub. Zhao Bingdou hurried forward and opened the door.

The car door opened, Li You got out of the car, and Zhao Bingdou bowed 90 degrees, "President!"

He deliberately stood beside Li You and would not block Li You's way even if he bowed.

Two rows of men in black suits bowed respectfully at the same time, and Li You walked into the nightclub calmly.

It was not until Li You walked in that Zhao Bingdou straightened up and quickly followed.

"President, why did you come here in person to check the accounts today?" Zhao Bingdou was a little nervous. Even though he did things in a disciplined manner, he was a little panicked in this situation.

After all, your boss will always find some problems for you, and Li You has never checked the accounts in person before.

"Don't be nervous," Li You looked at the decoration inside. He had never been to this nightclub in person, even though it was a branch of Jiangnan Industrial in Songpa District.

The interior decoration is luxurious and tasteful, with golden lights shining on the dark red wall cloth, looking hazy and luxurious.

"Boss," Zhao Bingdou asked with his head down, "Should we check the accounts directly or take a rest first?"

Li You glanced at him and said, "Just check the account."

His original intention was just to personally confirm the situation in Songpa District before heading to Busan. After all, his focus before was basically on Gangnam District and Seocho District, and he didn't pay much attention to Songpa District, which is one of the three districts in Gangnam.

This time I came here and it felt unexpected. No wonder the turnover in Songpa District is increasing. Zhao Bingdou is running this place very well.

As for checking the accounts, it was just a matter of convenience. Li You did not plan to read it page by page himself, otherwise what was the purpose of bringing Yoon Hyun-woo here? He did not expect that Zhao Bingdou would also be nervous.

Sitting on the large sofa in the office, Li You just took out a cigarette and Zhao Bingdou bent over to help him light it.

The smoke slowly spread in the air. Li You held a cigarette between his legs and asked, "How is your family doing lately?"

"Thank you for your cultivation!" Zhao Bingdou bent down suddenly, "If it weren't for the president, my mother would probably have no money to treat her illness."

"Alright," Li You waved his hand, "No need to bow so often, just a simple question."

"Songpa District seems to be quite stable," Li You sighed as he looked out the window. "A remote location has its advantages."

Songpa District is located in the southeastern corner of Seoul. Many people don’t even consider it as Gangnam, but it can still operate steadily.

Zhao Bingdou was stunned for a moment. After hesitating, he finally spoke, "President, something seems to have happened in Songpa District recently."

Li You turned his gaze over and asked, "What happened?"

"It's like this," Zhao Bingdou said slowly, "As you know, there are many massage parlors in Songpa District. Some of them are involved in the sex trade."

Li You nodded, "I know, you mentioned it to me before."

"Yes," Zhao Bingdou whispered, "There is a massage parlor in the area where we collect protection fees, and the two technicians inside are missing."

"Two?" Li You narrowed his eyes. "What do you mean by not seeing?"

"The two missing technicians are the type that can provide door-to-door service," Zhao Bingdou lowered his head.

"As you know, the technicians here are all doing this because they are short of money. Door-to-door service is a common business for the technicians."

He gritted his teeth and said, "Since the door-to-door service is always contacted by regular customers, I didn't want to interfere."

"But their boss is a fired criminal police officer, and he insisted that someone kidnapped or even killed them.
Although we taught him a lesson, it still affected the business of all the massage parlors in Songpa District. After all, most of the technicians knew each other, and the disappearance of two people could easily frighten them.

So I want to see what you think about this matter.”

Zhao Bingdou lowered his head and said, "If the president doesn't want to ask, just pretend that Bingdou didn't say anything."

"Go and call that detective."

Zhao Bingdou went out and gave instructions to his employees. Li You sighed. Something really happened.

[The storyline of "The Chaser" has been triggered. 】

[Story Mission: Hunting
Hunting: There are always strange killers in this country. Now a killer who hunts massage parlor girls appears in front of you. Please hunt the killer.

Mission Reward: [Hunter] item upgrade. 】

Li You remembered that the hunter's attribute could increase his observation ability when hunting prey, but this was the first time that he received an attribute upgrade as a reward.

Zhao Bingdou came in quickly, "President, he will be here soon. Where are you going to meet him?"

Li You glanced at Yin Xuanyou, "How long will it take?"

"President, you can go ahead and do your work," Yin Xuanyou pushed up his glasses, "It will take about 30 minutes here."

"Let's go to the lobby," Li You waved his hand nonchalantly, "It's not open today anyway."

This nightclub has a dedicated bar and a bartender who is said to be famous.

Dim lighting is a feature of nightclubs, and the smell of tobacco and alcohol wafts around the bar.

Li You sat at the bar, gently spinning the wine glass in his hand, the dark amber liquid sparkling under the dim light.

When Li You was about to finish his glass of wine, Zhao Bingdou, who was standing aside, finally saw the sloppy middle-aged man appearing at the door.

He hurried over, pulled the middle-aged man over, and hit him secretly.

The man was wearing a faded khaki jacket with its buttons undone, casually revealing a slightly yellowed vest underneath.

The middle-aged man, with messy hair covering his forehead, walked over with his head lowered, "President! I'm Yan Zhonghao."

The sound of ice cubes hitting each other in the glass was particularly clear in the silence. Li You stopped spinning the glass and asked, "Tell me, what happened?"

The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect to get straight to the point. "I am now the owner of Huayu Massage Shop. Two of my technicians disappeared while providing door-to-door services." "You are a former criminal policeman, and you can only repeat what everyone knows?"

Li You looked at him for a few seconds, "Any other news?"

Yan Zhonghao glanced at Zhao Bingdou for a few seconds, "The first lady disappeared last weekend. I thought she ran away with the deposit.
Although I was a little angry, I didn't do anything about it. But the second lady in our store, a woman named Zhiying, also disappeared.
The reason I suspected she was killed or abducted was because I found her car on the roadside with her cell phone in it.

He swallowed, "And the call records on the phone only go up to the day she disappeared."

"Later, her family members also called the phone, but no one answered and all the calls became missed calls."

Yan Zhonghao put his hand in his pocket and pulled out a cell phone. "The last number on this phone record other than his family members is 4885. I was just about to check it out today."

"But it's too difficult," he said distressedly, "For door-to-door service, you can call the technician's personal phone number, or you can call my phone number. I'm not sure if this person is... a suspect."

He still didn't use the word murderer.

Li You was a little helpless. This kind of killer was like a monster that would refresh randomly. When one was gone, there would be another one. It seemed that no matter when, there would always be a killer refreshed in Korea.

He looked at Zhao Bingdou, "Did you hear everything?"

"I heard it," Zhao Bingdou said a little nervously.

"You heard it now," Li You said unhappily, "It's obvious that someone killed these two technicians. Do you think the police will investigate the case with great fanfare just for two young ladies?"

Seeing Zhao Bingdou lowering his head, Yan Zhonghao felt a little depressed, "Didn't the president's words just now humiliate the police a bit?"

"Am I wrong?" Li You looked at him with a half-smile, "Will the police turn Songpa District upside down just because two low-class ladies are missing?"

He chuckled, "Even if they want to turn it over, I won't allow it."

Yan Zhonghao really wanted to refute Li You, but the cruel reality told him that what Li You said was true.

"How did you get fired as a criminal policeman?"

"I was persuaded to quit," Yan Zhonghao said dejectedly, "I offended the director."

Li You couldn't stop laughing. "Being persuaded to quit and being fired are the same thing, but Yan, the 'criminal policeman', is still speaking for the police?"

"I'm not speaking for the police," the middle-aged man said somewhat lost, "I'm speaking for myself."

Li You shook his head. "How did you end up being a brothel owner?"

"It was just a coincidence." Yan Zhonghao smiled bitterly. "I had just been fired. I was very depressed, so I just found a job. At first, I was doing publicity."

He paused and said, "They stuffed those promotional cards in taxis, public toilets and other places, and then the boss suddenly ran away with the money one day.

These poor women's wages were taken away, some could not pay off their debts and were almost sold, and some had children to support, so I simply became their boss and helped them get business outside. "

Yan Zhonghao sighed, "They are all miserable people."

Zhao Bingdou was also silent nearby. If he had died at that time, his sister would have to drop out of school to do this job to support the family. Fortunately, he did not choose the wrong path.

While they were chatting, Yan Zhonghao's phone suddenly rang. He opened the cover and saw the number 4885.

The three of them were silent for a moment. Yan Zhonghao hesitated for a second and answered the phone. "Hello? Do you need door-to-door service?"

"Yes," the voice on the other end of the phone was calm, "she should be prettier."

"Okay," Yan Zhonghao said in his usual tone, "Please keep your seat. I will select the most beautiful technician to serve you."

"."

Looking at the address on the note, Yan Zhonghao frowned, "If it was him, then he was quite alert. He asked the technician to pick him up on the roadside."

"It doesn't matter," Li You patted Zhao Bingdou's shoulder, "We are not the police. We just need to kill him and then no new people will go missing."

"What about the person in front?" Yan Zhonghao couldn't help but ask.

"Do you think they are still alive?" Li You was a little surprised.

"." Yan Zhonghao shook his head, "At least let them rest in peace..."

"Rest in peace?" Li You did not comment. "Are you interested in joining Jiangnan Industry?"

Yan Zhonghao was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head, "No, President."

"I don't have much ambition anymore. I'm lucky to have a little money to live on."

"What a shame," Li You shook his head. "Call a good-looking technician and ask her to go find this guy. I don't think he will show up until he sees the technician."

Yan Zhonghao spent a long time searching through the phone book and finally dialed a number.

"Meizhen?" He smiled, "There is a customer who wants to provide door-to-door service. Are you free now? No customers, right?"

Yan Zhonghao nodded as he listened to the conversation, "Go after the child has fallen asleep. Then hurry up and I'll send you the address."

"Let's go," Li You stood up, "Let's go and keep an eye on them first."

"The president is going too?" Zhao Bingdou was shocked, thinking that Li You was pointing out his incompetence.

He bent down randomly and said, "Boss, leave it to me... I will definitely catch this bastard and bring it to you!"

"Go ahead," Li You thought for a few seconds and decided not to go in person. It did seem a bit cheap to say that.

"Remember to bring him back to me, even if he's half dead."
