Korean TV series: King of Peninsula 1997

Chapter 404 Cause and Effect
"Sir, sir!" No matter how Jiang Renjiu wanted to explain, the Suriname Police Department or the military government's law enforcement forces did not give him a chance to explain.

A dark-skinned Surinamese officer glanced at him coldly and asked him to be quiet.

Jiang Renjiu turned his head to look at this makeshift interrogation room, trying to keep his voice steady as he explained to the expressionless military officer. His words echoed between the four iron walls, but he only got a cold response.

"Shut up."

The next morning, it was announced that Kang In-gu would be transferred to the prison on St. Martin Island.

Jiang Renjiu was pushed away and turned his head to look at the officials here again, his eyes revealing helplessness.

During the process of transferring to another prison, Jiang Renjiu felt helpless.

The prison on St. Martin Island is dark, damp and filled with a musty smell.

The footsteps of Jiang Renjiu and the prison guard echoed in the corridor one after another, and their heartbeats were synchronized with the sound of heavy doors colliding.

Before being detained, he finally got the chance to talk to the outside world by paying a bribe of two hundred dollars.

His fingers trembled on the dial keys. The first number he called was the embassy in Suriname, but he received a cold response from the embassy.

He originally thought that he could get some help, but the embassy official on the other end of the phone asked him to go to the embassy to fill out documents and to prove this and that. Jiang Renjiu, who was in prison, could not go, so his request for help did not cause any ripples.

In desperation, he called his wife Park Hye-jin again.

After learning the whole story, the wife's voice on the phone was trembling with disbelief.

"I really didn't smuggle drugs. You have to believe me."

Jiang Renjiu looked depressed, "No one in Suriname contacted you? Didn't Ying Shou call you?"

"No one contacted me," Park Huizhen said with tears in her eyes, "Hubby, I'm going to find a lawyer. You appeal immediately. Do you hear me?"

"It would cost tens of millions to hire a lawyer," Jiang Renjiu shook his head softly, "No."

After a while of communication, Jiang Renjiu finally persuaded Park Huizhen not to raise money to hire a lawyer.

"Don't spend money to hire a lawyer for me. I've observed this place." Jiang Renjiu glanced outside the door. The black prison guard had already started to urge him, "It's not easy to overturn the verdict here."

In fact, when he talks about it himself, it's quite unreliable.

"Don't spend money recklessly," Jiang Renjiu told Park Huizhen, "Give the phone to the children."

"father!"

"Hyung Joo," Jiang Renjiu's voice echoed in the prison guard's office, with a hint of pity in his words, "Dad is on a business trip and won't be able to contact you for a while. You have to take good care of mom and your sister."

Before he could finish his words, the prison guard snatched the phone away and hung up.

Jiang Renjiu knew that he had fallen into a web from which it was difficult to escape, and the only thing he could do was to minimize the impact on his family.

On the other end of the phone, Jiang Renjiu's daughter looked at her brother with a wronged expression, "Dad hung up."

Park Huizhen held back her tears and squatted down to comfort her daughter, "Dad is too busy. He will contact us again."

"Until then, let's pray for Dad and wait for him to get in touch, okay?"

She was holding her daughter, wondering what she was thinking, when there was a knock on the door.

But Park Hye-jin looked out the window and saw that it was already late at night. Who would knock on the door at this time?

She carefully told the children to stay in the bedroom and looked outside through the peephole.

Two men in black suits stood quietly outside the door, the logos on their chests standing out in the dim light of the corridor.

"Kinmen?" Park Hye-jin looked surprised. The residential complex they were living in was developed by Kinmen Real Estate, and the down payment was paid with the money Kang In-gu earned recently.

"What's the matter?"

"Excuse me, is this Jiang Renjiuxi's home?"

Park Hye Jin nodded, "Yes, what's wrong?"

"We are from the Kinmen Group," the person outside the door said calmly, "Mr. Jiang has a shipload of goods parked at Incheon Port, but we can't contact him now, so we need to find his family to handle it."

Park Hye-jin frowned, but finally opened the door.

After opening the door, Li Zicheng stood in front of Park Huizhen.

This matter is very important and he is responsible for it personally.

Li Zicheng looked at Park Hye-jin expressionlessly, and Park Hye-jin subconsciously made way.

He walked into the living room, sat on the sofa, and stopped Park Hye-jin from serving tea or water.

"Madam," Li Zicheng glanced at the two children peeking through the crack in the bedroom door, "We found some things that shouldn't be in Mr. Jiang's batch of goods."

"Do you know?"

Park Huizhen covered her mouth suddenly. She hesitated for a long time, then quickly walked to the bedroom and closed the door tightly.

Then he walked up to Li Zicheng and asked, "Is it drugs?"

Li Zicheng narrowed his eyes, "You know?"

"I just found out about this, too," Park Hye-jin sighed, "He's in prison in Suriname."

In the prison on St. Martin Island, Jiang Renjiu was lying on his bed bored, with a strange smell coming from the toilet next to him which had not been cleaned for who knows how long.

The black prison guard who helped him make the call came over and patted the iron railings hard, "Your friend is here to see you, come out."

"Someone is here to see me?" There was some hope in Jiang Renjiu's eyes, and he thought that it was Park Yingshou who came to see him.

He quickly stood up and followed the prison guard to the meeting room.

There was a man standing in the corner with his back to them, talking on the phone, "I know I'll be there as soon as possible."

He also heard the sound of the door opening, quickly hung up the phone and turned around.

This was a very unfamiliar face to Zhang Jiang Renjiu, but his face was filled with worry, "Renjiu, why do you look so bad?"

The man even came forward and hugged Kang In-gu.

"What's wrong with you, lunatic?" Jiang Renjiu subconsciously took a step back, but was still held tightly by the man.

"How did you get into this kind of trouble?"

When Jiang Renjiu was confused, the man whispered in his ear, "I am from the National Intelligence Service, pretend that I am your friend."

Letting go of his hand, the man pulled out his wallet from his pocket, took out two bills and handed them to the black prison guard.

The prison guard who had been observing the two men asked for one more ticket, and the man rummaged through his wallet, cursing inwardly.

After the prison guard finally took the money and left, the man finally became serious and handed him a business card with an American company and the man's name on it.

"I'm Choi Chang-ho from the American branch of the Korean National Intelligence Service."

Cui Changhao and Jinmen were also acquaintances. The Minister of Justice Kim who was removed by Li You at that time was done through the National Intelligence Service.

The National Intelligence Service commissioner who took action at that time was Choi Chang-ho.

Later, the FBI and the National Intelligence Service cooperated and not only sent Jack to the Korean Peninsula, but also agreed to allow the National Intelligence Service to send people to study in the United States, including Choi Chang-ho.

"You came to me about the cocaine thing?"

Jiang Renjiu finally saw someone who could help him get out, so he was anxious to explain, "It wasn't me, it really wasn't me, I have been contacting the embassy, ​​I..."

"I know," Choi Chang-ho sighed, "I'm here to help you." He walked to the table in the room and sat down. Jiang Renjiu pursed his lips and sat opposite him.

In order to ease Jiang Renjiu's anxiety, Cui Changhao specially lit a cigarette for Jiang Renjiu.

In the smoke, Jiang Renjiu calmed down a little, "How do you know it wasn't me?"

"Because we already know," Choi Chang-ho looked at him, "someone in Suriname is doing this, and he will never allow anyone else to interfere."

“Do you know Pastor Jeon Yo-hwan?”

"We know each other, what's wrong?"

"He is the one who caused you to end up like this."

Choi Chang-ho took out a document from the briefcase on the table and pushed it in front of Kang In-gu.

Jiang Renjiu held a cigarette between his legs, a look of disbelief on his face.

"Jeon Yo-hwan, pastor of the Korean Church in Paramaribo (the capital of Suriname), is actually a drug dealer."

"He collaborated with the Cali Cartel, the largest drug cartel in Colombia, and controlled 60 percent of the drug supply to Europe. He was known as the 'Cocaine Godfather of Suriname'."

Looking at the unbelievable Jiang Renjiu, Cui Changhao shook his head and explained the situation to him.
“Eighteen years ago, with that nationwide crime crackdown.

Incheon police carry out a massive bust of the largest methamphetamine smuggling gang.

Although the operation was successful and the gang was captured, a delivery man who was a ship engineer escaped with ten kilograms of methamphetamine.

It was only three years later that we got information about him because of another case.”

Jiang Renjiu flipped back and saw the document saying 'Geoje Construction Investment Contract'. "Is this a development plan for Geoje Island? Is it the same as the Jeju Island that Kinmen recently developed?"

"."

Cui Changhao didn't know why he mentioned Kinmen, but he still shook his head and said, "Kinmen Group is really developing it."

"After raising funds, Jeon Yo-hwan did not develop anything at all."

"There are too many things that happened later," Choi Chang-ho lowered his eyes, "for various reasons, he couldn't continue to survive on the Korean Peninsula.

Finally he set his sights on a small country, Suriname.

Suriname is close to Colombia, and there is a lot of high-quality cocaine everywhere. Small gangs are fighting each other, and military coups are constantly happening, causing political instability. And most importantly,
There is no extradition agreement between Suriname and South Korea.

Jeon Yo-hwan, who is eloquent and has a silver tongue, came to Suriname just when General Delano, the current military government, came to power.

With the help of Delano, Jeon Yo-hwan eliminated all the small gangs in Suriname and monopolized the cocaine trade with the Cali Group in Colombia, and the drug business officially began.

He used the fanatical female believers of the church to smuggle various types of cocaine to European countries.

In order to convince the male believers, he secretly provided them with water filled with cocaine. Combined with the brainwashing of his mouth, he successfully gained hundreds of fanatical believers.

He truly became the drug godfather who monopolized Suriname’s cocaine business.”

"So according to you," Jiang Renjiu shook the photo, "he was the one who put drugs in my stingray?"

"Yes," Choi Chang-ho nodded. "Currently, Jeon Yo-hwan's route for smuggling cocaine is limited to Europe. We speculate that this is to open up a new route to the Korean Peninsula, so we used your ship for testing."

"Damn it." Jiang Renjiu murmured. He stood up, hugged his head, and looked out the small window. After a while, he turned around and asked about the whereabouts of his good friend Park Yingshou.

But Choi Chang-ho showed him a photo. A photo of Park Eung-soo's body.

"Why?" Jiang Renjiu couldn't hold back his tears. "What happened?"

"He was probably killed by Jeon Yo-hwan's organization during the investigation."

He stared at the photo in a daze, almost unable to stand up while holding on to the table.

"Please accept my condolences," Choi Chang-ho also stood up, "Because there is no extradition agreement, we currently have no way to arrest Jeon Yo-hwan, so I came here to seek your help."

"My help? You want to ask for my help?"

"Strictly speaking, we help each other."

Money makes the world go round. After paying two hundred-dollar bills, Choi Chang-ho was even able to take the heartbroken Jeon Yo-hwan to the basketball court in the prison for some fresh air.

“To arrest Jeon Yo-hwan, we had to lure him to a third country outside Suriname, but the operation to get him out of Suriname failed.

So there was only one option left, which was for Jeon Yo-hwan to send the cocaine to the United States.

The United States has a law that allows them to take action in another country even without permission in order to catch people smuggling drugs into the country.

As long as Jeon Yo-hwan sends cocaine to the United States, the DEA (US Drug Enforcement Administration) can be deployed directly in Suriname."

"What do you want me to do?" Jiang Renjiu stopped and said, "What can I do?"

“Go back to Suriname and convince him to sell cocaine in the United States.”

Since Kang In-gu is the only one who can do this job at the moment, Choi Chang-ho allows Kang In-gu to make a request and is willing to pay the labor fee and call Park Hye-jin in South Korea.

Kang In-gu asked Choi Chang-ho to promise him to exempt him from the charge of smuggling manta ray and agree to help the National Intelligence Service in exchange for 500 million won.

After weighing the pros and cons, Cui Changhao agreed to Jiang Renjiu's request.

A cold light flashed in Cui Changhao's eyes. He turned to Jiang Renjiu and said in a low voice, "You must first gain the trust of Jeon Yo-hwan, and the key to all this is Glass."

Glass is Jeon Yo-hwan's personal bodyguard. He was specially sent to the prison to observe the prisoners and see if there is anyone useful.

The National Intelligence Service is preparing to assist Kang In-gu in drug trafficking in prison. They want to make Kang In-gu look like a real drug dealer so that they can gain Jeon Yo-hwan's trust.

"We will prepare everything for you, including drugs," Cui Changhao's voice reached Jiang Renjiu's ears, "All you have to do is show the cunning and ruthlessness of a real drug dealer."

When they were about to part, Jiang Renjiu suddenly remembered something he had forgotten. He grabbed Cui Changhao and said, "There is one more thing!"

"What's wrong?" Cui Changhao turned around.

"There is a ship that has reached the Korean Peninsula."

Cui Changhao's face changed. "He brought drugs too? Where is the boat?"

"It shouldn't have fallen into the hands of Jeon Yo-hwan's people over there," Jiang Renjiu touched his nose, "The ship was seized by Kinmen."

"Kinmen?" Cui Changhao took a breath, "Do they know there are drugs?"

"Captain Jin said they found out."

Cui Changhao's mouth twitched and he quickly called his colleagues in South Korea to confirm the news.

After a long conversation, he said solemnly, "We will communicate with the Kinmen Group and help you explain this matter clearly."

Fortunately, the head of the National Intelligence Service and Chairman Lee are familiar with each other, so there shouldn't be any problem with this matter.

"That ship was seized by the Kinmen Group?" Jeon Yo-hwan sat on the sofa in the office behind the church, smoking an expensive cigar.

"Are you sure it's the Golden Gate Group?"

"Yes," Jeon Yo-hwan's men nodded.

"I haven't been back to Korea in these years," Jeon Yo-hwan said in amazement, "The Korean Peninsula has really produced a great figure."

He looked at his men and said, "Go find the contact information of the Golden Gate Group and let's take a look."

"Can we do some business?"
