章節 59: The Seventh Case (6)

As our convoy of police vehicles speeds through the night towards the mountain crime scene, I lean forward in my seat, addressing Inspector Han who's driving.

"Sir, I think we need to consider the possibility that whoever took our officers is armed with guns," I say, my voice grave.

Han's eyes flick to me in surprise, his hands tightening on the steering wheel. "Guns? That's a bold assumption. You know as well as I do that firearms are strictly banned in South Korea. It's incredibly rare to encounter them in any criminal activity."

I nod, understanding his skepticism. "I know, sir. But hear me out. Some gangs, especially those with international connections, are still known to possess firearms. They're rare, yes, but not unheard of."

Han's brow furrows as he considers this. "Go on," he says, his tone cautious but attentive.
