“Did you confirm it?”
-Yes. There was a reservation at Agnes’s Forest the day before yesterday. But they didn’t show up.
It was as expected. They probably didn’t want to make a fuss around them because they wanted to talk quietly as a couple.
-But how did Yang Do-shik know that?
“I don’t know. Maybe he overheard their call history, or the victims wanted Yang Do-shik to go with them.”
It could be a reconciliation attempt between the couple, or it could be parents trying to set expectations for their child one last time.
“The important thing is that they disappeared while going there. I’ve found a suspicious site. Skid marks were found, and the forensics team is searching the area. Where is Yang Do-shik?”
-As expected, he hasn’t been seen since the day before yesterday.
“It seems he has made up his mind.”
Well, the due date is approaching day by day, so he has to get money by any means to prevent it. Otherwise, his life will be ruined.
“I found it!”
At that moment, a voice was heard from the forest. Park Do-joon hung up the phone at the voice.
“I’ll call you again later.”
When he went there, there was a dent in the forest as if a car had been parked there.
“It’s not just driving… It’s definitely a parking spot.”
Park Do-joon, standing on the traces on the dirt road, looked at the direction.
“At this angle, you can completely block an oncoming car.”
Yang Do-shik probably blocked the road with his car, and the other car slammed on the brakes. And Yang Do-shik took the victims, who were likely dazed from the accident.
“Then where…”
He already found a suspicious place. But the problem is where to go after that.
“Just a moment.”
Park Do-joon opened his cell phone and checked the pre-received sales history.
“The culprit probably has a place around here.”
“Why?”
“It takes too long otherwise.”
“Time?”
“There are no cars here. There were no reports.”
That means the culprit moved all the victims’ and perpetrator’s cars somewhere. If it’s far away, the victims might wake up or come to their senses and resist.
Of course, he would have secured a space nearby, confined them, and then moved the cars.
“If someone discovers the accident in the meantime and reports it to the police, it’s a disaster.”
Even if it is a restaurant located in a quiet place, there is no restaurant that opens in a place where no one goes. In other words, there is a high possibility that someone will discover it and report it over time.
There is no possibility that Yang Do-shik would try to take such a risk.
“Ah!”
Of course, if you’re a criminal, securing the victim comes first, and moving the vehicle comes later.
“Then the closest place from here is…”
Fortunately, no matter how many items there are, it was not difficult to find them once the location was specified.
“It’s about 10 kilometers away from here.”
It was a villa located in the mountains. It’s a villa of about 200 *pyeong* [approximately 7,100 square feet], but it was put up for sale after the original owner went bankrupt, but it hasn’t been sold yet.
It’s no wonder; even if it’s a villa, it’s in a very remote place.
Moreover, the owner is bankrupt and suffering from all kinds of trials, so it will be impossible to spend time leisurely at the villa.
“Let’s go here first.”
Park Do-joon told the police about another place just in case and took people to the place. And when he arrived near the place, he was able to confirm.
“This is the place.”
“How do you know that?”
“The grass is pressed down on the road.”
The entrance is not a road paved with asphalt. There is no way to make a road with asphalt or concrete for just one villa, so it has to be a dirt road.
And the dirt road, which has not been visited for a long time, will naturally grow grass.
“But if you look at the grass that has been pressed down recently, a car has entered here. Let’s go in on foot first.”
Park Do-joon slowly went inside. And when he got near the house, what he saw was a large truck and an expensive imported car with a slightly dented front.
“That’s!”
The chief of staff widened his eyes when he saw it.
“It’s the CEO’s car!”
“I knew it. Let’s go in.”
“Yes? But what if it’s a hostage situation…”
“That’s unlikely.”
After suppressing the other person, you have to manage them. But a hostage situation basically requires the victim to be in the same space.
“But from the criminals’ point of view, it’s quite cumbersome.”
In the case of kidnapping and confining a victim, it is convenient for the criminal to create a separate space and lock them up.
“Hostage takers and kidnappers are similar but different.”
The purpose of a hostage taker is to gain profit from a third party by using the victim. For this reason, hostage takers tend to keep the victim within their control area, that is, within their sight.
On the other hand, kidnappers try to get profit from the victim. Therefore, they cannot easily kill the victim. Because if the victim dies, there is no profit.
So, in order to psychologically break the other person down, they find ways to control them for a long time, such as locking them up.
“They probably locked them in another room.”
Park Do-joon headed there without hesitation.
Of course, the door was locked, but in the first place, most of these villas have glass windows to see the scenery.
Smash!
Park Do-joon broke it without hesitation and went inside.
“No, please be quiet…”
“No, in this case, you have to go in more aggressively.”
“Yes? Why?”
“Because… that’s why. If it’s noisy, someone will come out to check. If the criminal is alone, there’s no reason to care. It’s an opportunity to separate them from the victim.”
As expected, the moment Park Do-joon broke the window and came in, someone popped out. A man wearing a raincoat covered in blood. When he rushed out and saw the people gathered, his face turned pale.
“What the fuck! Who are you…”
Bang!
The sound of a gun ringing at that moment.
Bang.
And the second sound of a gun ringing.
“Put the ax down.”
Two warning shots.
Smoke was rising from the gun Park Do-joon was holding.
“The first two bullets of the police’s gun are blanks, and the third is a live bullet.”
But he just shot two shots.
“Put the ax down, Yang Do-shik!”
Yang Do-shik had an ax in his hand. And the ax was already covered in blood.
“…”
Yang Do-shik looked around and identified the secretariat people. Only then did he realize that there was no way to escape now. Since the people he knew were here and even saw his face, there was no way to escape.
“Aaaaa!”
Yang Do-shik’s eyes rolled over. Then he picked up the ax and rushed at them.
The moment the people behind Park Do-joon flinched, the third gunshot rang.
Bang!
“Agh! My leg, my leg! Ambulance…! Call an ambulance quickly, you bastards!”
Yang Do-shik screamed. But Park Do-joon, who only stopped the bleeding for now, ignored him. Then he approached his father, who was coming out of another room.
“I’m glad you’re safe.”
“Keuheuk…!”
But he couldn’t control himself because of despair.
“Where is my wife… where is my wife?”
At that, Park Do-joon shook his head.
“No, no…! You devilish bastard! No!”
Park Do-joon grabbed him as he was about to run to Yang Do-shik and kill him.
“Calm down.”
“My wife, my wife…!”
“CEO, calm down! Calm down…!”
The chief of staff also stopped him. He grabbed the chief of staff and shed tears.
“Keuheuk…”
“Please take care of him.”
Park Do-joon said that and left his side. There is nothing a stranger can do in this situation.
“Uweeeck!”
Other people who saw the bathroom were throwing up, perhaps shocked. Park Do-joon was bitterly looking at it when the police, who had been contacted urgently, rushed in.
“Do-joon.”
“Ah, team leader?”
“Where is the culprit?”
Park Do-joon gestured, and there was Yang Do-shik, who had stopped the bleeding on his bloody thigh, screaming.
“Ambulance… please take me to the hospital quickly…”
Yang Do-shik, thinking that he was really going to die from the increasing blood, was now begging.
“Please take me to the hospital, please.”
“Haa, you bastard…”
The team leader shook his head as he looked at him.
“Good job.”
“What’s good? It’s late.”
In the end, one person died.
Park Do-joon desperately wanted a cigarette today because of the bitterness.
“But how did you know?”
The team leader asked after the incident was settled. Yang Do-shik was the culprit in this case as expected. He found an idea in a Japanese novel and carried it out while looking for a way to kill his parents without getting caught. In fact, the Japanese magic circle book that Park Do-joon had brought was also found in his house.
“What?”
“That you were going to kill your mother first. Usually, you kill your father first, right?”
“Humans tend to kill the most threatening person out of the two people first.”
“So isn’t the father the priority?”
“No.”
Both the father and the mother are eventually subdued. When he was rescued, Yang Do-shik’s father was completely tied up and couldn’t even move.
“If there is no physically threatening person, then they will try to get rid of the psychologically threatening person first.”
“Psychological threat…”
“It was the mother who raised Yang Do-shik with love.”
Perhaps the mother would have tried to resolve the situation by persuading Yang Do-shik until the very last moment. That’s a mother. And that would have been a psychological pressure for Yang Do-shik.
Just because you’re a sociopath doesn’t mean you can’t feel psychological pressure.
“Don’t criminals usually target the easiest people first?”
“Well, that’s true.”
Feeling grateful to the people who treat them well and take care of them and repaying them is only possible when they are normal.
Criminals or crazy people think of those who treat them well as easy and target them first.
Looking at child abduction right away, parents tell them to be careful of strangers, but more than 70% of child abductions are committed by people they know well.
“It’s bitter.”
The team leader smiled bitterly. Until the moment she died, Yang Do-shik’s mother tried to save her son, but Yang Do-shik was caught dismembering such a mother.
“It’s a bitter thing.”
Park Do-joon had no choice but to smile bitterly as well.
#Accept the Divine Punishment
“It’s amazing. The purpose was the parents’ property.”
After catching the culprit, the other profilers couldn’t hold their heads up. They were talking about this being a demon worship case, but in fact, it was a case for inheritance disguised as demon worship.
“The good thing is that there are no more victims.”
The surviving father was shocked. He never thought that his son would try to kill his parents. Well, what kind of person would think that their son would want to kill them?
“Being too kind was a sin. Unfortunately, isn’t this an era where being kind is a sin?”
“I agree.”
They already knew what kind of person the culprit was. He was even diagnosed with sociopathy from an early age. But the parents didn’t believe the diagnosis.
At least the mother believed that if she raised him with love, he would grow up well.
But the price was being dismembered by her son.
