The Reincarnated Cop Who Strikes With Wealth Chapter 44.3

Vacation to Jeju (3)

Bingo.

Everyone, visit the nearby stores and ask them if anyone rembers Choi Sang-Ho.

Leaving them with this order, I entered the store. An old man with a sowhat unhealthy pallor was sitting at the counter, reading a novel. The whole place slled like old books. It was obvious that it had been in operation for at least the past few years.

Excuse .

Yes?

I showed him my police badge. The store owner folded his book in half and stared at . He looked curious as to why a cop from Seoul had co all the way to Jeju.

Im looking for a person. By any chance, would you be able to check if they were a mber here?

Just a mont. Please tell their full na.

Its Choi Sang-Ho.

The na cos up twice. Hes not an elentary school student, right?

Thats right. Hes in his twenties.

Good. I thought this might be the case. Theres nothing like a rental store for young people who want to enjoy their hobbies at a cheap price. Although in the future, everyone would be reading on their smartphones, at this point in ti there were still two or three comic book rental stores in every neighborhood.

After clicking on sothing, the owner frowned.

Ah, I rember now. The person who borrowed the whole series of Waryongjeongong from start to finish and ran away with them. Theyve been overdue for three years now. Because of him, I had to buy the whole series again. Why are you looking for him? Is he a repeat offender? Or sothing like a book thief?

The owner grumbled in indignation. This was the kind of person that the entire book rental business most hated, a long-overdue debtor.

On top of that, he had made off with an entire series. While responding vaguely to his questions, I handed him a pen.

Thats right. Please write down the latest address and number that you have recorded.

This sort of bastard definitely needs to spend so ti in jail. Humph.

Scratch, scratch-

The owner elegantly scrawled out the mbership information and handed it to . The address was the sa one that had been written on the letter. However the phone number was a new piece of information. Right then and there, I tried to call the number.

[The phone number you have called is not currently switched on, connecting you to voicemail]

So its a real phone number, but its currently switched off?

I bowed in thanks to the store owner and left his store. Chief Kim drove up in the car and pulled up next to .

None of the locals seem to know him. And since this is such a busy city, there are too many people passing through each day to question anybody. Have you found anything new, young master?

I found his cellphone number. Though now that Ive found it, I think Ill have put in a request to track down its location. Ah, by the way, Chief Kim. Do you know of a series called Waryongjeonggong?

Of course I know it. Its an extrely famous martial arts manhwa. But because it goes on for too long, I gave up after only reading part of it.

Hmm. A young man who had been wandering here and there disappeared after borrowing a whole series of books. Under close examination, it didnt seem like anything special, but the truth was that it didnt sit right with . Looking at how long it was overdue, it should have been borrowed before the guesthouse went bankrupt.

Leaning her head against the window, Ji-Hye mumbled, What should we do now? No one in the neighbourhood can rember Sang-Ho-oppa. Even the lady in charge of the laundromat.

Hmph. It feels like sothing keeps getting in our way, Sang-Beom also exclaid angrily.

I texted a ssage to the Suan Police Stations Situation Room. It said that, due to certain circumstances, I was going to send them a phone number and I needed to track down the location of its last call.

[Detective Go. Location tracking is only allowed if we receive a report of a cri first.]

I thought about it for a mont before sending a reply.

[Ill make the report. Its for a theft. Ill be sure to upload a report later, so please check it for first. Ill owe you one.]

Hey? Ahjussi. What are we supposed to be doing now? Ji-Hye said, thrusting her face in between the gaps of the front seats.

Since this was a personal request, it might take them so ti.

After checking my watch, I prompted Chief Kim, Lets go get sothing to eat. Drive to the oldest place in town that serves the most delicious dishes.

And where is that exactly?

Wherever you went, there was one constant truth. There was only one restaurant that could boast both refined taste and a long tradition. On top of that, it was the perfect place to gather information.

To the nearest truckstop diner. Well get sothing to eat there while waiting for my contact to get back to . We can also take this chance to ask the truckers a few questions.
