Fifth Vital [EN]: Chapter 290

290. Reversal

Seo Jun-woo, who had been answering the brazen Go Seung-gyu with spirit, walked towards the front door.

“Instead, I called the police.”

Then, he opened the front door, throwing a word to the puzzled Go Seung-gyu.

Click-

“Hello! Everyone. We’re from the OO Police Station.”

As the door opened, Detective Kim and the police officers who had been waiting outside came in.

This morning, before going to school, Seo Jun-woo met Detective Kim and told him the location of the hideout to catch Go Seung-gyu.

“Are you Seung-gyu?”

“……!”

“Looking at your expression, I guess you are? Nice to meet you. I’ve heard a lot about you. You’re quite something.”

“Seo Jun-woo? Did you report me to the police? Do you think I’ll be affected by this? Do you know who my parents are?”

Go Seung-gyu’s abusive language towards the police grew worse. With parents who had a lot of money and connections, he wasn’t afraid of the police.

“Detective Kim, here are some painkillers.”

“We also found a ledger with transaction details.”

The police officers found evidence one by one.

“Wow! There are more than one or two Fentax [a potent opioid painkiller] here…….”

Detective Kim and the police officers were speechless, shaking their heads at the sight of the Fentax in one side of the locker.

“Don’t you know how dangerous these drugs are? You’re still students, how can you do this?”

“I’m sorry…….”

“I didn’t know it was such a dangerous drug.”

“That’s right. We thought it was just a painkiller.”

The children were at a loss for what to do about what they had done, but Go Seung-gyu was still brazen.

“Did you lead all of this?”

“Police officer, do you have a warrant?”

“Ha!”

At that moment, the police officers, including Detective Kim, were dumbfounded by Go Seung-gyu’s remark.

“Isn’t it illegal to enter someone else’s officetel [a type of studio apartment often used as an office] without a warrant?”

“Really? Kids these days watch too many movies.”

“If you don’t have a warrant, please leave.”

“I don’t think that’s going to happen? Do you see this?”

“…….”

Go Seung-gyu was speechless when Detective Kim showed him the paper he took out of his pocket. The paper he took out was a warrant.

“I brought the warrant you were talking about. Are you satisfied?”

The precocious Go Seung-gyu, not fitting his age, was thinking of chasing away the police by mentioning the word warrant, but it didn’t work out as he intended.

Detective Kim, who had heard about Go Seung-gyu from Seo Jun-woo and the homeless old man, judged that he was no ordinary guy.

With his long police experience, he knew that getting a warrant in such cases would help with a quick investigation, so he quickly requested a warrant, and the prosecutor in charge immediately proceeded with the case committed by a high school student.

“Go Seung-gyu, you are under arrest for violating the Narcotics Control Act.”

Go Seung-gyu was handcuffed and dragged away by the police, and Seo Jun-woo and the other children were also taken to the police station.

The police station where Detective Kim belonged was chaotic with high school students who came to be investigated.

Not only the club members including Seo Jun-woo, but also all the nearby students who had ever taken Fentax were gathered.

“How did you get this, student?”

“I received a message through SNS [Social Networking Service]. My friend is a middle school classmate of Go Seung-gyu, and he introduced me to a painkiller that relieves stress.”

“I saw my friend at the academy doing it and asked about it, and he said it relieves stress, so I tried it.”

“I also tried it once through SNS. It was popular for a while among a small number of students who study a bit, calling it stress candy or stickers.”

The children who came for the investigation all said similar things. Fortunately, the children except for Go Seung-gyu didn’t know about Fentax and thought it was just a simple stress-relieving painkiller.

“Detective? Please punish that bad guy who gave this to the kids.”

“How can a young child do this…….”

“Who is the bastard who gave this to my child? Huh? Let me say a word, let me see his face.”

“Please calm down, sir.”

The parents who received the call were furious at Go Seung-gyu, who had deceived and sold narcotic painkillers to their children, and some were cursing.

After several hours of investigation, the children finished their witness investigation and were allowed to go home. And Go Seung-gyu, who had been so confident in the hideout, closed his mouth and didn’t say a word.

“Are you really not going to talk?”

No matter how much Detective Kim raised his voice, looked at him, or coaxed him, Go Seung-gyu only repeated the same words.

“I’ll talk when my lawyer comes.”

“Ha! Okay. Do as you please.”

Detective Kim was frustrated because of Go Seung-gyu, who had been talking about a lawyer for two hours.

“Aren’t you hot? You’re drinking coffee like it’s cold water.”

“I’m so frustrated that I don’t even feel the heat.”

“But if a child is holding out like that, it seems like he’s from a pretty wealthy family. What if a really big shot comes?”

“What do you mean what if? We have to do it according to the law and principles. If you commit a crime, you should be punished.”

“That’s true, but…….”

“Excuse me.”

Detective Kim was drinking coffee with his junior when a man dressed in a luxury suit approached.

“I received a call that Go Seung-gyu is being investigated.”

“Ah, yes. I’m the detective in charge. Excuse me, but what is your relationship with Go Seung-gyu?”

“I’m Go Seung-won, a lawyer and Go Seung-gyu’s older brother.”

The man, who introduced himself as a lawyer and older brother, seemed to be quite a bit older than Go Seung-gyu and had a very sharp impression.

‘This isn’t going to be easy…….’

‘I knew it. He was so confident because his older brother is a successful lawyer. It won’t be easy.’

Detective Kim and his junior thought that the investigation would not be easy after seeing Go Seung-gyu’s older brother.

“Where is my brother now?”

“He’s inside.”

“How is the investigation going?”

“He’s only asking for his lawyer and not saying anything, so the investigation is not easy. I’ll guide you. Please follow me.”

Go Seung-gyu’s older brother kept his mouth shut and followed Detective Kim into the office.

“Go Seung-gyu? Your lawyer is here.”

At the sound of the lawyer’s arrival, Go Seung-gyu raised his head.

“……!”

Creak-

But something was strange.

Go Seung-gyu, who had been looking for a lawyer like a parrot, was suddenly surprised and stood up from his chair.

“B, Big brother, how did you get here…….”

Slap-

Soon, a surprising situation unfolded.

Go Seung-won, who had been walking towards Go Seung-gyu, raised his right hand and slapped his younger brother’s cheek.

The sound of the slap was so loud that everyone in the office, including the police and the people being investigated, looked over.

Thud-

Before the shock could wear off, a dull sound echoed in succession. Go Seung-won slapped the back of his younger brother’s head hard after slapping his cheek.

“What! You did Fentax and even sold it?”

“I’m, I’m sorry.”

“Sorry? Is this something that can be solved with an apology?”

Detective Kim and the other police officers thought that Go Seung-won would protect his younger brother just by looking at his impression, but it was a reversal.

Go Seung-won looked at his younger brother as if he would kill him right away, and Go Seung-gyu couldn’t even make eye contact.

The whole story was like this.

Go Seung-gyu was born as the youngest child in a family with many brothers.

Unlike his parents, who always gave him love, his oldest brother was a stricter and scarier presence than his parents.

That older brother left for the United States for work training, and from then on, Go Seung-gyu acted like a runaway horse.

The lawyer he mentioned earlier was also expecting his third brother, who got along well with him. But suddenly, his oldest brother, who had returned to the country, found out about this and came to the police station before even unpacking his luggage.

“You bastard, how did you find out about Fentax?”

“I found out when I went to the United States for language training.”

Go Seung-gyu, who went to the United States for language training every vacation, came into contact with Fentax with his foreign friends. After that, he realized that it was easier to obtain in Korea than he thought, and he made things bigger like this.

“You’re not studying and only learning bad things.”

“…….”

“Did you think you could get away with doing this? You don’t know how scary the world is because your parents spoil you? You think the world is yours because you study well and have a lot of money?”

“Big brother? Th, that’s not…….”

“Shut up.”

“I was wrong.”

“Don’t say things you don’t mean and sit down quickly. What are you looking at? Sit down quickly.”

“Yes.”

“Sit up straight!”

At that sound, Go Seung-gyu sat on the chair in the correct posture.

“You will cooperate with the investigation from now on. Got it?”

“…….”

“Hey, you bastard, aren’t you going to answer?”

“Yes. I’ll cooperate with the investigation.”

“What’s the point of studying well! You have to be a human being. I’m going to make you a human being from now on, so keep that in mind. I’m sorry that my brother caused a problem.”

Go Seung-won, who scolded his younger brother until tears streamed down his face, bowed politely to Detective Kim and the police officers.

“I will be here to help him cooperate with the investigation. Let’s start.”

“Ah, yes. Thank you.”

With the appearance of an unexpected ally, Detective Kim was able to conduct the investigation more easily than ever before.

Our Hospital-

While Detective Kim was busy with the investigation, Tae-kyung, who had finished the surgery, sat at his desk in the examination room and entered a certain site.

The place he entered was a famous community that only current doctors could join.

This is also a place where doctors share their thoughts by posting various articles.

Tae-kyung looked at the monitor and thought for a while, then quickly pressed the keyboard and left a message.

-Hello. My name is Kim Tae-kyung, and I am currently seeing patients in Yeoul-dong. The reason I am writing this article today is to inform you about what happened at our hospital.

Young students disguised their identities and pretended to be homeless people, calling them grandfathers, and continuously received prescriptions for Fentax.

Tae-kyung wrote about this incident and asked his fellow doctors.

-I know that all the teachers are sincerely seeing patients even in the midst of their busy schedules. However, when young friends want a prescription for dangerous drugs, I hope you will pay a little more attention and care, even if you are busy.

Of course, realistic measures are needed to prevent young friends from being prescribed, but it is difficult to do so right now, so I ask for your help.

Rather than thinking, ‘It’s okay for just me,’ please treat and prescribe with the thought, ‘Does this patient really need a narcotic painkiller for severe pain?’

It may be a grand thing to say, but your small interest can change the future of a young student who is tempted.

Thank you for reading the long article. Always be healthy. -Kim Tae-kyung-

Tae-kyung, who reread the article from the beginning and refined the sentences, finally pressed the save button and posted the article on the bulletin board.

Since there were so many articles being posted, he didn’t know how many people would see this article, but he hoped that as many people as possible would see it.

After that, Tae-kyung asked Team Leader Choi to send a document with similar content to nearby hospitals by fax and finally contacted Doctor Gam Deok-chan.

“Hello. Doctor, this is Kim Tae-kyung. I sent you the details of what I told you earlier by email. Please take a look at it and contact me if you need any medical data. Yes, thank you.”

This high school student Fentax case was a very serious problem.

No matter how much he asked the surrounding doctors, this could happen again somewhere.

Therefore, practical response and prevention measures were needed, and he asked Gam Deok-chan, who had the power to enact laws.

‘Director. If you need my help, please don’t hesitate to let me know.’

Gam Deok-chan usually said that as a habit, but he didn’t think there would be anything to ask a member of the National Assembly. But this time, there was no one else he could ask.

Click-

“Senior?”

Tae-kyung was about to leave the examination room when Ui-jin opened the door and came in.

“Would you like a cup of coffee?”

“Sure. I was just about to go to the cafeteria to refill my coffee. Let’s go together.”

“Did you contact Assemblyman Gam?”

“I just emailed him.”

“Will there be any change?”

“Well……. It’s hard to change anything right away, but I think if we keep knocking on the door like this, it will happen someday.”

“Of course. That’s right! Senior, did you see the article about this incident?”

“Already an article……!”

Tae-kyung, who was talking with Ui-jin and passing the reception desk, stopped when he happened to look at the front gate.
