Codename-Anastasia-Chapter 56 - 4.10 Checkmate 4

NIS headquarters was in a state of emergency. The chase that took place in the city center after Taek Joo invaded the hospital couldn't avoid the fierce bullets of the media. Many voices criticized the incompetence of public authorities when it became known that the wanted man had escaped, despite traffic being paralyzed and civil damage having occurred.

Furthermore, when Lee Cheol Jin was arrested as a suspect in the case and was mysteriously poisoned while awaiting trial, things became even more noisy both inside and outside. That's why they had to capture Taek Joo. Someone must be responsible for this.

When the situation became serious, Chief Lim, who was in the hospital, also rushed to headquarters. He hadn't even left work since last night and was continuously receiving status reports every hour. No one knew Taek Joo's whereabouts.

Everything went according to plan, although it was a little noisy. Now, as long as they had a proper ritual offering, everything would be arranged smoothly. The only obstacle was that Chief Lim doesn't have much time left.

A knock sounded on the door and an employee entered the office. He was assigned to monitor Yoon Jong Woo's phone usage. Deputy Chief 1 accompanying him could not hide his concern and asked what was going on.

"A while ago, I received a call on Yoon Jong Woo's cell phone."

"Have you checked the sender yet?"

"Okay. This number is in the name of a Russian named Yevgeny Vissarionovich Bogdanov."

"Where is the call from?"

"It is confirmed to be near Pyeongtaek, Gyeonggi-do."

"Alright."

Deputy Chief 1 clenched his fist. Chief Lim also nodded. Now was the time for him to complete what had been planned.

The employee was still waiting for further instructions. He sat politely.

"Immediately send a cooperation dispatch to the local police station. Let our elite agents participate."

"How?"

"I will be directly in charge."

The employee who was listening to the order looked puzzled. Managers or executives are often only informed about the situation in the control room and give instructions, but do not work directly in the field.

Of course, this is not unreasonable as Chief Lim was also a special agent. However, he wanted to make sure he hadn't heard wrong.

"Are you going to join?"

"I have to go. One way or another, he's my subordinate, so shouldn't I go catch him myself?"

"Then I'll go too."

Deputy Chief 1 who was listening suddenly spoke up. The employee wondered why, as this was truly an unusual situation.

"I will prepare as you said."

"One more thing. Yoon Jong Woo from the support team, is he at work yet?"

"Not yet."

"Is he at home?"

"Yes. He was spotted leaving early this morning."

Chief Lim rubbed his chin and thought for a moment. Immediately after being contacted by Taek Joo, Yoon Jong Woo disappeared, he must have received some instructions. Manager Lim knows Taek Joo well because the time the two of them worked together wasn't short. Even when Taek Joo is arrested, he is not a person who gives up easily. Taek Joo must have prepared a plan to deal a blow to the person who tricked him. The visit to Lee Cheol Jin before he disappeared also bothered Chief Lim.

"Then let's find out where Yoon Jong Woo is and hold him off until I'm done."

"Yes."

The staff received polite instructions to leave. The two remaining men in the room didn't say anything. Chief Lim only spoke after the footsteps had completely subsided.

"We have to end this now."

"For this to be done safely, it's all up to you. Make sure you're pulling your own weight."

--

"Are you sure you sent it yesterday?"

Yoon Jong Woo held the front door open and asked for confirmation. Because of Yoon Jong Woo, his plan to sleep late was ruined. Yoon Jong Woo left an emergency contact number at the photo studio, but he couldn't understand how he knew his home address. He sighed and pulled the door open.

"Ah, yes! They said that most of the pictures would be sent out the night before the holiday. Did they not deliver them?"

"Please tell me about the express delivery service you used. Does it usually arrive within a day?"

"I'm using Chunlima delivery service. And you shouldn't ask me about the delivery date but should go check with the courier?" The owner of the photo studio said, "Let's go" and pushed Yoon Jong Woo.

The front door slammed shut in front of Yoon Jong Woo while he couldn't even find the delivery receipt number. He angrily wanted to ring the doorbell again, but if he really did, he would call the police. Yoon Jong Woo shuffled back and forth hesitantly.

He went down to the alley and took out his phone. There has been no further contact from Taek Joo. Yoon Jong Woo heard about him on the news last night. He was so shocked that he couldn't sleep, but then Taek Joo called back. According to Taek Joo's instructions, Yoon Jong Woo shouldn't go to work today.

A sigh came out. You've come this far and you can't go back. Yoon Jong Woo can only do his part and hope everything goes well.

Yoon Jong Woo went online and searched for Chunlima express delivery. He couldn't look up the delivery status because he didn't have the invoice number, so Yoon Jong Woo had no other choice but to call the main switchboard number. After a while, he was connected to an agent.

"Yes, Chunlima delivery? Thank you for your hard work. I want to ask something. This is 1724 Seocho-dong. The package I was supposed to receive yesterday still hasn't arrived."

Yoon Jong Woo gave the address of the Seoul Central District Prosecutor's Office, and an expected response rang out.

"Oh really? Do you happen to know the invoice number?"

"Ah, like this.. Today the shipping company coincidentally had a holiday. If they don't answer the phone, will it be difficult to look up my information?"

"Please read more information."

This time, Yoon Jong Woo reread the sender and recipient information that Taek Joo had tipped him off. "Thank you very much." He replied back.

"Dear customer, after looking up, I can confirm that the courier has already arrived in this area. We will provide you with the contact information of the driver in charge. Could you please try contacting us with them?"

Yoon Jong Woo quickly wrote down the contact number. Taek Joo said that the photo would be convincing evidence. If that's true then it should be safely sent to Prosecutor Seok. Due to the nature of the express delivery service, Yoon Jong Woo was very worried because he could not be sure exactly when the package would arrive or whether the package would be delivered properly.

Yoon Jong Woo called the courier driver, the call connection rang. He walked back and forth aimlessly and anxiously waited for the other end to pick up the phone. However, there is only a voice notification that the person on the other end of the line cannot answer the phone.

"Ah bastard. Why don't you answer the phone?"

Perhaps they were busy with work so they couldn't answer the phone, Yoon Jong Woo's thoughts continued to spread in a bad direction. Because it was something that had to be delivered, he couldn't help but worry about whether it might get lost on the way or someone might take it midway. Yoon Jong Woo was looking at his phone to see if anything was wrong when another figure approached from behind.

"Yoon Jong Woo."

Yoon Jong Woo nervously looked back in the direction he heard the call. Two men in black suits were standing there. Yoon Jong Woo could sense their identities through intuition, they were agents sent by Chief Lim from headquarters.

Yoon Jong Woo's phone fell to the ground. There, the message rang again that the customer could not answer the phone.
