MTL - Solo Leveling (Only I Level Up)-Chapter 488

Or maybe it's because a sip of hot coffee warms up the whole body?

Li Shihuan looked at the face of the other party while drinking coffee, and then asked the senior who handed him the coffee.

"That... I met the squad leader just now, and the squad leader told me to follow Cheng Criminal Police..."

"Ah, that ghost?"

"Pooh!"

Li Shihuan was surprised again because of the senior's unabashed praise.

It took a lot of effort to keep the coffee from spraying out of his mouth and nose.

"Because he's always elusive, we nicknamed him that. But somehow, everyone else knows it too. And you've heard of it, too, right?"

"Yes, it is."

Seeing Li Shihuan nodding repeatedly, he looked at his senior and said with a smile again.

"Actually, the coffee I gave you was originally intended for him."

The senior pointed to a distant place with his chin as he walked towards the corridor.

"Say Cao Cao Cao Cao is here, so it's here."

Li Shihuan, who couldn't help being curious, ran over in a hurry.

He suddenly stretched out his neck and looked in the direction the senior was looking at.

Then, he saw it.

A man was walking towards here from the other end of the corridor.

' That person...'

That person obviously walked slowly, but he came to him in an instant.

He felt a sense of coercion.

Li Shihuan's height belonged to the average height of men in country H, but he looked at the senior detective who was a head taller than himself, and felt a sense of oppression that made people breathless.

'Ghosts at Headquarters...'

Being able to have such a title... definitely not just because he is elusive.

Focusing on the rumored person, Lee Se-hwan is sure of this.

"senior."

"Well, good. Are you going to call the police?"

"Yeah, is this kid the new one?"

"That's right, it's him, his name is Li Shihuan."

After slightly bowing his head to the senior beside Lee Se-hwan and saying hello, Cheng Jin-Woo turned the frozen Lee Se-hwan around, and then put his hand on his shoulder.

"I'm going to teach this kid."

The seemingly nice senior didn't know what to be happy about, and nodded while laughing.

"Yeah, go, go."

As soon as the senior's voice fell, Cheng Jin-Woo walked out with the newcomer he was in charge of.

'No, it's not because I drank this senior's coffee that he got angry, right?'

Thinking of this, Li Shihuan couldn't help asking in a panic.

"Ex, senior! Me, where are we going now?"

But Cheng Jin-Woo didn't answer, he asked instead.

"Why do you want to be a cop?"

"Ah I......."

Li Shihuan hesitated.

He recalled the dreams that he had gradually forgotten all these years because of such trivial matters as dealing with drunk people in the patrol force.

"I want to catch the bad guy..."

"Well."

Cheng Jin-Woo did not slow down while chatting with the newcomer, and after leading the newcomer to a certain place, he finally stopped.

"All we have to do now is catch the bad guys."

Lee Se-hwan, who raised his gaze, bumped into Seong Jin-Woo's signature smile.

It was a smile that made people feel at ease just looking at it.

"That's why I became a police officer."

Cheng Jin-Woo said with a smile to the newcomer.

And this sentence made Li Shihuan's heart beat violently.

Plop, plop.

He figured if the year on the patrol was all about this moment, it would all be worth it.

He wants to learn how to catch bad guys like a "ghost".

Thinking of this, who would not be excited as a policeman?

"Will you go together?"

The answer is obvious.

Li Shihuan responded loudly excitedly.

"Of course, senior!"

***

'I originally wanted to give him the task of writing the report......'

After arresting the prisoners for a whole day, Li Shihuan, who was exhausted, fell asleep on the table.

clatter.

Cheng Jin-Woo stopped his hand that was typing the report, and turned his gaze to Lee Se-hwan, who was sleeping soundly from exhaustion.

' He even caught an armed robber with his bare hands, which is worth teaching. '

It's been a long time since meeting such a useful kid, Cheng Jin-Woo couldn't help but smile.

"hey-hey."

The prisoner sitting opposite Cheng Jin-Woo looked at Cheng Jin-Woo's smile and thought the atmosphere had eased, so he laughed too.

The moment he laughed, Cheng Jin-Woo's expression immediately changed back to a serious one.

"......Why are you laughing?"

"No, I'm very sorry."

"Then, next..."

Cheng Jin-Woo put his hands on the keyboard again.

'My lord, let us soldiers do such chores...'

Jagrit's voice came from the shadow.

It is actually more convenient to let the shadow soldiers do it.

There is no need to teach newcomers how to catch criminals, as long as thousands of shadow soldiers are released, country H can be cleaned up.

But what about the fear and confusion that ensued?

What should I do?

To maintain the original balance of the world.

So in order not to cause chaos to the society, Cheng Jin-Woo limited the use of his power as much as possible.

In this way, he handled the work calmly.

Just when he was about to finish all the chores, Cheng Jin-Woo heard a voice from a corner of the office.

"Mr. Interpol, Xiaoya is definitely not the kind of person who would commit suicide."

"No, I also know how you feel as a friend, but like I said, all the evidence..."

"Look, look at this message! Does this message look like it was sent by someone who is going to commit suicide in three hours?"

"what......"

It should be because the deceased's name and his sister's name are too similar, Cheng Jin-Woo has been very concerned about the conversation between these two people from just now.

The overtired detective grew impatient.

"I said, the friend of the deceased? An impulsive suicide is better than a planned suicide..."

"May I take a look?"

The detective was taken aback by Cheng Jin-Woo who came over suddenly.

The criminal police of the serious crime team, all of them can judge whether the other party has committed a crime just by looking at the other party's eyes.

But even these detectives couldn't perceive his approach, so it seemed understandable to be called a "ghost".

"Cheng Cheng..."

The detective looked at Cheng Jin-Woo in embarrassment, and then turned his gaze back.

It seemed that hope was rekindled on the face of the friend of the deceased.

'Ah...'

The detective who felt that his situation was a bit embarrassing quietly called Cheng Jin-Woo out.

He handed over relevant materials to Cheng Jin-Woo.

"Cheng Criminal Police, don't embarrass me...'

He did not respond to the senior's request.

Cheng Jin-Woo's eyes gradually turned cold as he began to look through the documents.

Just when the criminal policeman was about to light a cigarette, he felt the aura emanating from Cheng Jin-Woo's body, and quickly took a step back.

'It's like another person when you're so focused...'

The policeman hastily took a long puff of cigarettes, as if to calm his fast-paced heartbeat.

The woman who was found dead in the bathtub died of blood loss from a wound on her wrist.

The wrist knife was also found in the bathroom and, as expected, no fingerprints of anyone other than the deceased were found on it.

The deceased, who usually seemed very cheerful, was actually a depressed patient.

After reviewing the investigation report, it is indeed difficult to draw conclusions other than suicide.

Seong Jin-Woo returned the file to the detective.

"Nothing weird."

"Yes, right?"

For some reason, the criminal police accepted the file happily.

"but."

"But...?"

The criminal policeman vaguely predicted what he would answer after the "but", and his expression changed accordingly.

"I'll check again."

"what......"

The ghost smells the scent.

Seong Jin-Woo walked over to the friend of the deceased who was waiting anxiously.
