The Underground Emperor: Starting with Running Away with His Sister-in-Law

However, the one who got promoted wasn't anyone in Choi Ki-cheol's team, but rather the captain of another team who was also a frontline detective in the investigation unit...

To know.

When they first went on duty, that team was just collaborating on a case...

But that's the truth.

The frontline criminal investigators of the search team were divided into two groups.

One group consists of local pragmatists like Ma Seok-do, led by Choi Ki-cheol, who all started as patrol officers and rose through the ranks from the local police department...

The other group consists of academics.

They were all graduates of police academies and were directly assigned to the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency...

In South Korea.

In every industry, academic background is the sole criterion.

No matter how capable you are, those who get awards, promotions, and leadership positions are almost always the ones with academic backgrounds...

Those who are truly capable can only quietly accumulate seniority...

They also suffer from internal exclusion.

It's ironic, but also very realistic!

Thinking of this, Ma Xidao could only sigh silently.

Fortunately, he himself has never been ambitious.

He didn't think it was difficult to get promoted, as long as he could uphold the justice in his heart.

It seems right now.

Choi Ki-cheol should be alright; he just came to see him today to vent his frustrations...

"Captain, stop with the pessimistic talk. Now that the case is considered solved, the brothers shouldn't be sent to the investigation department, right..."

As he spoke, Ma Xidao picked up his wine glass and took a big gulp.

"The brothers have been taken away by the prosecutor's office..."

"puff!"

Ma Xidao immediately spat out the shochu he had just taken a sip of.

He asked incredulously, "Wasn't the murderer already caught? Why was he sent to the supervisory office...?"

Speaking of which.

Ma Xidao suddenly realized something and asked uncertainly, "You just said, the prosecutor's office?"

"Yes, our use of actors to take the blame was exposed, and a prosecutor named Zhu Yang from the procuratorate started watching us..."

Choi Ki-cheol replied with a self-deprecating remark, picked up his glass, and drank it all in one gulp.

He then poured himself another drink.

He drank one cup after another as if venting his frustration.

Ma Xidao was stunned.

No, what exactly is going on here?

That's the prosecutor's office!

Now that all the brothers have been arrested, you still have the nerve to drink here?

Think of this.

Ma Seok-do snatched the cup from Choi Ki-cheol's hand and shouted angrily, "Choi Ki-cheol, what exactly is going on? Explain yourself!"

"Explain clearly?"

Choi Ki-cheol murmured something.

Seeing that the glass in his hand was gone, he didn't care and simply picked up the wine bottle next to him.

He gulped down a big mouthful.

Just as Ma Xidao was getting impatient and wanted to slap him across the face.

Choi Ki-cheol reluctantly put down the bottle in his hand.

He let out a burp, and under Ma Xidao's piercing gaze, slowly recounted the entire incident...

It turns out that Choi Ki-cheol had always had a black glove.

This is a common problem among people who come from local police stations: they often have ties with local underworld forces.

Ma Xidao can understand this.

After all, he was that kind of person; dealing with local gangs was unavoidable in order to solve cases faster.

The whole thing went wrong because of this person.

I remember that Choi Ki-cheol handled a case a while ago.

It's about Kim Yang-soo, the chairman of Taekyong Group.

The search team discovered some evidence against him and sent him directly to the prosecutor's office.

This also led to a building under construction by Taijing Group changing hands.

Those who profit from it.

It was Choi Ki-cheol's black gloves, the president of Hae-dong Construction Company—Jang Seok-gu.

This time, Choi Ki-cheol made another deal with him.

Jang Seok-gu was tasked with coercing an "actor" to confess, while Choi Ki-cheol was responsible for coordinating with relevant departments to ensure the construction of the building could proceed normally...

however.

Fate is so unpredictable.

President Jin Yangxiu and Prosecutor Zhu Yang had a close relationship, and coincidentally, Jin Yangxiu's case was handled by Zhu Yang. Within a few days, Jin Yangxiu was released on bail...

Once she was released, how could Jin Yangxiu possibly let Zhang Shijiu, who wanted to usurp her position, get away with it?

of course.

Zhang Shijiu would not let Jin Yangxiu go either.

Fortunately, during a golf outing that Jin Yangxiu and Zhu Yang had arranged, Zhang Shijiu arranged for an assassin to kill Jin Yangxiu...

Simultaneously.

Evidence of the close relationship between Zhu Yang and Jin Yangxiu was also recorded...

afterwards.

He even foolishly sent several photos to Zhu Yang without telling Choi Ki-cheol...

How could a prosecutor be threatened like that?

After some deduction and investigation, the target was identified as Zhang Shijiu.

Simultaneously.

The relationship between Choi Ki-cheol and Jang Seok-gu was also discovered...

Chapter 200 Come to ask for help

He was probably a little drunk.

It could also be because they were completely panicked and wanted to find an answer.

Choi Ki-cheol rambled on and on...

Ma Sik-tao remained silent.

I just listened silently, and the more I listened, the stranger it seemed.

Trading, trading, it's all fucking trading...

Is this guy even a policeman?

Where is justice? Where is conscience?

Already somewhat drunk, Choi Ki-cheol continued talking to himself...

He couldn't tell what Ma Xidao was thinking at all, or rather, even if he could, he wouldn't care.

He's just given up and wants to talk to someone.

To the end.

Choi Ki-cheol suddenly asked, "Seok-do, I'm completely in a mess right now. What do you think I should do?"

"Yeah, what should we do?"

Ma Xidao murmured.

A prosecutor, a black kid, and a high-ranking police officer...
