Chapter 16 - CHAPTER -15- THE MAZE

"For now I don't think In-ha is in a state to join us, how about we both go for it?" detective Kim asked Ji-chul

" I guess that will do."

" So are you guys going to leave me out?" In-ha asked

" We don't really have any other option, and we also have to move things faster before they get out of our hands." detective Kim said

" O K" In-ha said

" But how do we set a trap for him?" Ji-chul asked

" He doesn't take bribes, if you look from the out you will think that he is a respectful man but no he isn't, he does favours for powerful people and get power in return."

" What is that exactly supposed to mean?" Ji-chul and In-ha asked

" How do you think he became the chief prosecutor?"

" Ah! I get it now, waah these people are really something." Ji-chul said

" But what can we do about that?" In-ha asked

" We will have to find trash on his latest case..." detective Kim says

" Don't we need someone from the prosecutor's office for that?"Ji-chul asks

*smirk* " Don't worry about that."

*confused*

*at a restaurant*

" Jong-suk here"

" Hi detective Kim, Long time no see"

" Indeed, I have been a bit busy lately. How is work going?"

" Working under chief prosecutor Jeon is just hectic as ever, he is still the same old hungry for power person."

" I see."

" That is why I have decided to blow his cover, I always have to do as he says and doing something bad knowing that it is bad just makes me want to quit work."

" Are you sure that you want to help me? I can do it on my own too... if things go wrong and they find out that they have a whistleblower in their own office, I don't think your job will be safe"

" I don't care, someone has to blow the chiefs cover someday, and I can't see peoples life getting ruined just because they have no power and money..."

" Just make sure not to get caught."

Jong-suk hands a USB to detective Kim " Here, I think this will be enough to make him hit rock bottom"

" Thanks, I'll go back to the station now, I have to put an end to this"

" Ok, bye, see you again sometime."

Detective Kim heads to the hospital to meet Ji-chul and explain things to him, He goes to In-ha's room and saw that In-ha was sleeping, he calls Ji-chul out and explains how things will go and take place.

" First of all we need the media for this, I know some newspapers that we can trust, I will give them a call and hand over a copy of this file to them, I checked the files in here, some are SQ related, if things go how we want them to go, we will have to birds down with one arrow."

" Are you sure we can trust these newspapers?"

" They were my colleagues, for now, I think we can trust them."

" If you say so..."

Detective Kim calls a person he knows from Korea daily and says that he has an exclusive for them and that he needs it to be on the news the next day morning, they ask him to email the files to them, detective Kim emails the files to them and thank them for their cooperation.

*the next day morning*

' Breaking news,

Detective Kim Soo-hyun of the serious crimes unit tried to slander and press charges against the chief prosecutor of the Seoul district prosecutors office with forged files, it is said that he will go under inves-'

" Ji-chul! What is this in the news?" In-ha asked

" What is it?"

" Look at the headlines, detective Kim is in big trouble..."

" Shit! I knew something like this would happen!"

" What is this all about? Why don't I know anything about this?"

" Yesterday uncle had come by, he had something against the chief prosecutor and so decided to use the media to bring him down, but seems like his plan backfired..."

" What do we do now?"

" Let me try calling him"

*ring ring* ' The number you are trying to reach is currently unavai-'

" It says that he is unavailable, he must have switched off or something, he must be getting lots of calls right now"

" We have to do something to get him out of this mess..." In-ha says *focuses on the news* " Hold on a second, does it say Korea daily?"

" Yes, why?"

" This name was there in my dad's diary, I don't think it can be anything good after seeing what has happened..."

" I' ll go get that diary, let's find a solution together"

Suddenly detective Kim calls

" Uncle! What is all this mess, where are you? Are you ok?"

" I don't clearly know what is going on.... but one thing is for sure, Korea daily stabbed us in the back."

" So what do we do now? Is there anything that I can help with?"

" For now I can't do anything, I have to lay low, and you also don't do anything, since the case included SQ also they will be keeping a watch on you both, take care of In-ha and don't leave each other alone, we will have to wait till things die"

" Ok uncle, you too take care..."

" What did he say?"

" He asked us not to do anything and remain still until things get quieter..."

" AHHHHH..... this is really frustrating!"

*at the chairman's office*

" Sir I don't think you should let them be anymore..."

" Hmmm... are you keeping an eye on the kids?"

" Yes sir, they are being pretty normal, I personally think they are not up to anything for now, It's probably because of detective Kim's situation..."

" What about him?"

" He's in hiding, he has not come to visit the kids from the morning."

" They are smarter than I thought... but they should have known when to stop, I'll teach them a good lesson, detective Kim is just the starting."
