＜ Onion-like bastards. (3) ＞

“Yeah?”

She opened her eyes slightly.

He didn’t know why the police came.

However, at Shin Hyuk’s unusual expression, she turned her head and looked at it as if showing a street vendor registration card attached to one side.

[Green Street Store]

The representative’s name is Do Sang-woo.

“I’m a member of that company…”

The police come to visit, and the story of the company comes out.

There is something.

Shin Hyuk asked as if questioning.

Empathy, kindness, and compromise are useless at this point.

Understanding conflicts of interest comes first.

Even for that child who is on her mother’s back, only then can a better and better future be built quickly.

“What does the street vendor have to do with working here?”

“They said that if you join a merchant association, street vendors will be legally registered and recognized, so the police have never come to see you.”

First of all, this street vendor is not illegal.

Do not disturb the road, sidewalk, or anyone else.

I also think about hygiene when I see fish cake skewers bent and discarded rather than reused.

But are you trying to provide a service?

On one side, lighters are lined up like those sold at convenience stores.

“Do you pay monthly dues?”

“Yeah.”

“How much do you pay?”

“300,000 won.”

Shin Hyuk felt that the remaining emotions were sinking to the depths.

The paper cup quietly distorted in Shin Hyuk’s stretched hand.

I’ve never even heard of an association called Green Street Store, and I don’t even get that much from a restaurant business that arranges and reports VAT and global income tax accounts.

“Isn’t there a separate hygiene check?”

“ah···.”

It made her smile bitter.

“It comes out once a month, but…”

She, who was speechless, looked at Shin-hyeok for a moment.

Shinhyeok spoke softly this time so that she could talk.

“Sir, it is not illegal to do business here. It is not illegal to hand over money.”

“That’s… if the people at Sanghoe stick to the hygiene side, there’s no limit. They said it would be better to just give money and send it…”

“When the sanitation check came, was there only one person?”

“Yeah.”

“Are you a man? How old are you?”

“A man. He looked like he was in his early 50s.”

Shin Hyuk nodded slightly.

– Ridiculously high dues.

– The guy who visits me once a month is in his early 50s.

My younger sister Hyejin said that he wore glasses.

“Did you ever wear glasses? A square gold border.”

She blinked her wrinkled eyes and nodded.

“Yeah. Yes.”

“Have you ever visited the office of a merchant?”

“Yes, for a moment when I first signed up.”

“Do you know the address?”

“Yeah.”

“May I have your office address and phone number?”

“Wait···.”

Shin-hyeok wrote down the address and phone number she gave him on his cell phone.

At that time, a woman with a hat tightly pressed down approached Shin-hyeok.

It smelled like alcohol.

“Excuse me.”

She rubbed her belly and picked up a fish cake skewer.

“Oh, that’s cheating, wow. Wow~.”

Shin Hyuk’s head turned to the woman who was biting into the fish cake.

“Seniors?”

It was Lee Soo-jeong senior.

She lifted the brim of her hat slightly and made a surprised expression.

Lee Soo-jung’s eyes were wide open.

“uh? Why is Shin Hyuk here?”

“Hey, I stopped by on the way. What about you?”

“My house is near here. I came out to unwind. waeg. oh i’m going to die I drank too much yesterday.”

Oh, you live near here.

Shin-hyeok had been drinking since yesterday when Lee Su-jung shook her head back and forth and blew the flute with a bottle.

He picked up a broomstick, played the guitar, and then cast a wave, like an earthworm.

“I’m glad you’re alive.”

“Even if you are alive, you are not alive. oh i’m dying Lord, please get this lamb out of hell… huh?”

Suddenly she lifted one foot, revealing the sole of the slipper.

“Ana…, a bastard that looks like the color of my nephew’s shoes is spitting gum on the floor and damn it, it’s just a fish cake skewer…”

Shin Hyuk stopped her.

I thought that the appearance of the senior wearing a hat, a t-shirt that stretched out a lot, and slippers on sleeping pants and taking out curse words from his mouth could make him look like a crazy b*tch in this district.

“Senior, the baby is listening.”

Sujeong Lee smiled as if she had never done that and waved her hand at her baby.

“Aunt, do you think the baby has grown a lot in the meantime?”

“The babies are growing up well. I guess you drank a lot yesterday?”

Sujeong Lee brought the fish cake to her mouth and nodded.

Senior Lee Soo-jeong seems to know each other as if he visits this place infrequently.

“Look at Shin-hyeok here, and be sure to tell your mother that you ate well yesterday. But why don’t you eat tteokbokki? This is a tteokbokki restaurant. Give me a plate of tteokbokki, please.”

“Yeah.”

The boss put the plate in a transparent plastic bag and handed it over with tteokbokki.

Lee Soo-jung, who was drinking fish cake soup, handed a toothpick to Shin Hyuk.

“Try it. I’m just stumped.”

Shin Hyuk dipped the tteokbokki with a toothpick and brought it to his mouth.

It was sweet and spicy and tasted good.

At that time, the president suddenly asked Soo-jeong Lee.

“Your pretty sister was also a cop?”

Lee Soo-jung blinked as if trying to understand the situation, and then answered.

“Yeah.”

Soo-jung Lee glanced at Shin-hyeok.

I never told my aunt that I was a police officer, and in conversations with Shin Hyuk, I never talked about my job.

So, Lee Shin-hyeok revealed that he was a police officer…

Soon after, Lee Soo-jung, who even wiped out the tteokbokki soup, stopped Shin-hyeok from taking out her wallet.

“It’s my zone, I have to pay.”

After finishing the calculation, Sujeong Lee greeted the president.

“I ate deliciously today. Hello, see you again my nephew.”

Lee Soo-jeong, who turned to Shin Hyuk, spoke.

“coffee?”

In response to her question, Shin Hyuk thought that senior Lee Soo-jung was really great.

On the street where people passed by, he looked rough in this outfit.

“Are you okay? You must be niggling inside.”

“Of course it’s not okay. what? Why are you here?”

There must be a reason why Shin Hyuk revealed his police status.

Shin Hyuk had no choice but to answer the blazing question mark on her face.

“There is a cafe over there. Tomato juice is good for hangovers. I’ll shoot you the juice.”

It seemed better inside than talking outside.

“call.”

* * *

Sujeong Lee, who inserted a straw into the tomato juice, continued to drink it.

“Ah, it seems to be coming back to life now.”

“That’s fortunate.”

Lee Soo-jeong rested her chin on one side and looked at Shin Hyuk.

“what. What is it?”

“There seems to be a guy impersonating a government official.”

“Impersonating a public official?”

“Yeah. I feel like they’re extorting money for a hygiene check.”

Her eyebrows twitched.

“Are you saying that Aunt Tteokbokki was beaten up a while ago?”

“Yeah. I think I also joined a street vendor, but the membership fee is too expensive. 300,000 won. It seems that some of them come for a sanitation check once a month, but they take money.”

Lee Soo-jeong let out an absurd breath.

“These bastards dare to beat the horns in my area!?”

As she screamed involuntarily, the eyes of the people around her gathered.

Sujeong Lee quickly covered her hand with her mouth and frowned.

“Oh my god, I’m not one to do this in public.”

Guys like cockroaches keep climbing up from somewhere even if you catch them.

Incidents like this have happened before, but they still happen.

If you search the Internet a little, you can find it quickly, and there are many more cases that have not been reported.

“The lid is open.”

Shin Hyuk smiled bitterly, thinking it was natural that she didn’t know.

He was a senior who couldn’t even go home.

Living buried in the incident, there would have been no way to know.

“It looks like they are approaching the socially underprivileged who are blind to information, but I found out the phone number of the street vendor. It is not a nationwide association, and it seems that only the elderly were selected and joined in small groups.”

“But how did these guys find out? Did you just get a feeling while eating fish cakes? You think you’ve got bugs?”

Shin Hyuk made an awkward smile.

They really seemed to see me as a shaman like a shaman.

He didn’t even know at first.

“Because my mother was also beaten.”

Ichigo’s eyes widened.

“Mother?”

“Yeah. I didn’t know because you hid it from me.”

“Such a dog…”

Curses flowed from Lee Soo-jeong’s mouth.

It wasn’t long before she got up from her seat.

“Wait a minute.”

“Yeah?”

“I have to pay for the meal I ate yesterday. wait a bit? Where can I go?”

As she left the coffee shop, Shin-hyeok adjusted his hat.

I didn’t plan to do this, but somehow I got involved with senior Lee Soo-jung.

How long has it been like that?

In a not long time, Soo-jung Lee came back.

Jeans, sneakers, and a simple top, the hat he was wearing was the same as before.

She took off her hat and sat down in her seat, biting the strap on her wrist in her mouth, and brushing her hair back.

And pulled the ponytail behind the hat.

Shin-hyeok wanted to stop him because he felt like he was wasting his senior’s golden holiday, but the senior didn’t seem to have any intention of doing that.

“What about those bastards?”

“I got a phone number called Green Street Store, I think it’s a Daepo phone, and the representative’s name is Do Sang-woo.”

“Do Sang-woo, you must have a cannon bankbook made of Do Sang-woo.”

Shin Hyuk nodded.

Most likely.

“I searched for the address of the store, and it was a micro shared office.”

“You guys did a great job. Should I wait for the collection date?”

Or finding out when the guy doing the sanitation check is coming.

Shin Hyuk said then.

“There are places that raise doubts.”

Words burst out reflexively from Lee Soo-jeong’s mouth, whose eyes were lit.

“where? Where are you!?”

* * *

It was a place where expensive liquor was spread on the table.

A middle-aged man in his late 50s, wearing square gold glasses, sat at the table of honor and politely poured a drink for him, who looked similar to his age.

Wearing glasses, he smiled broadly and spoke to the woman clinging to his side.

It was a woman who looked like a daughter.

“You have to take good care of him today? What a great person.”

The woman crossed her arms over him as if flirting.

“I’ll take care of you.”

“Heh heh heh. yes.”

Wearing glasses, he said something similar to the woman next to him.

“So are you.”

“Ah, boss, you’re our boss, and if you say it twice, it’s nagging.”

Then he whispered secretly.

“Have a little drink. If you drink too much, you won’t do well.”

Then, the door burst open.

The man in the glasses frowned and turned to the side.

Two men and women wearing hats.

“What are you guys?”

Sujeong Lee said:

“I’m a new girl here today.”

Then he told the women.

“Sisters, leave quickly. Madame unnie is calling from outside.”

“what?”

“I have to call my uncle. Uncle! Strange people have come here!?”

Shin Hyuk stepped forward.

“It’s the police.”

Surprised by the word police, they left the room.

Sujeong Lee approached the table and sat down.

“Why does your face look so sh*tty? Brother, don’t you like me?”

He who was sitting at the head of the table was, surprisingly, the district captain.

Lee Soo-jung asked for help to find Go Hwa-jeong, who was kidnapped by an ambulance.

That district captain .
