My Calling Is Profiler [EN]: Chapter 306

‘But why our kids…? No, it’s obvious. This son of a bitch…!’

The answer is simple. Everyone knows that Gu Deok-gong was involved in the accident. And if someone makes a confession of conscience later, everything will go wrong. There’s only one way to prevent that confession: involve them all.

Then no one can talk. Or, even if they do, they’ll only be seen as lying to escape their crimes.

“This son of a bitch!”

The election committee chairman gritted his teeth. Even though he loses power outside of election season, he’s not someone to be taken lightly.

“The real culprit in that case isn’t Kang Jun-man. It’s Gu Deok-gong.”

“Pardon?”

The police asked back as if they didn’t understand. Of course, they know. But they’ve already been told to pretend they don’t know.

“Gu Deok-gong is the real culprit in that case! Not Kang Jun-man!”

He raised his voice and shouted.

“Gu Deok-gong, that son of a bitch, killed someone!”

Gu Deok-gong was having a day like a bolt from the blue. He was checking on patients as usual and came downstairs, only to find the police swarming in with an ominous atmosphere.

“Mr. Gu Deok-gong?”

“Who are you?”

“We’re the police. We’re arresting you on charges of manslaughter in the deaths of Oh Seong-hoon and his family.”

The police shook the warrant. No matter how influential Gu Deok-gong’s father was in Daegu, he couldn’t stop a warrant in a case with dozens of witnesses. So the warrant was issued quickly. Of course, some of his supporters had slipped him information, but the timing was subtly delayed.

Naturally. They already knew that Gu Deok-gong was the culprit, so they were biding their time.

Gu Deok-gong’s phone started ringing incessantly, and the police answered it instead of Gu Deok-gong, who was half out of his mind.

“Hello?”

-Deok-gong, get out of there right now! The police are on their way! Get out of there quickly! Immediately!

“It’s too late. This is the police. Mr. Gu Deok-gong has been arrested on charges of manslaughter.”

-What?

There was a bewildered silence on the other end, but soon a voice came out.

-Put Deok-gong on.

“He’s half out of his mind right now.”

-Put him on, I said!

At the words of Gu Deok-gong’s father, who was furious, the police snorted and held the phone close to Gu Deok-gong’s face. And when he heard his father’s voice, Gu Deok-gong suddenly came to his senses.

-Deok-gong!

“Dad?”

-Deok-gong, listen to me carefully! I’ll send a lawyer, so don’t say anything. Just keep your mouth shut! I’ll send a lawyer right away.

“Dad, save me! Dad!”

-Let my son go, you bastards! Deok-gong! Never open your mouth!

“Oops.”

The police slightly loosened their grip at the obvious words. The phone fell to the floor and shattered.

“I’m sorry. The phone slipped.”

The police grinned as they looked at the shattered phone.

“Let’s go.”

“Let go! Let go! It wasn’t me! It wasn’t me!”

Gu Deok-gong was dragged away crying, but with dozens of witnesses already coming forward, there was nothing he could do.

-Today, Gu, the main culprit in the family drowning incident in Daegu, was arrested. Gu is accused of fleeing the scene after seeing the victims who fell into the water while trying to avoid his car during an illegal street race….

The news was excitedly reporting the incident, and Park Do-joon smiled bitterly as he watched it.

“They finally caught him.”

“Thank you. I really caught him thanks to you. Otherwise, my friend would have ended up committing suicide unfairly.”

Ji Sang-hwan was so grateful that he was about to cry. Park Do-joon was the only one who revealed the truth about his friend’s death.

When he said it wasn’t suicide, the other police officers said they understood he was a friend, but it was suicide, and when he tried to dig in, they got angry, saying he was overstepping his authority because he trusted his father.

But as a result, the truth was revealed, and the truth about his friend’s unfair death came to light.

“You’re welcome.”

“No. Thank you so much.”

“If you’re grateful, please support me when we meet again later.”

Meeting again. That means another incident will happen here. At that time, police help will be inevitable.

“Of course. I’ll be happy to help.”

“Then I’ll be on my way.”

As he was leaving after a brief greeting, Lee Ji-soo, who was seeing him off, asked worriedly.

“Detective Park.”

“Huh? Why?”

“What do you think of the new team leader who came this time?”

While they were solving the case in Changnyeong, a new team leader was finally appointed and arrived. Although the two of them were on a business trip to Changnyeong, they hadn’t had a chance to meet him.

“Um, to put it simply?”

“Yes.”

“We stepped in shit, what else.”

“I knew it.”

Lee Ji-soo also let out a long sigh. Of course, she hadn’t met the team leader, but she had heard rumors about the new person. Until recently, her colleague had been excitedly badmouthing him.

Of course, Park Do-joon had never heard such stories, but still, he had vague memories from before his regression. Memory errors or deletions only apply to crimes.

The problem is that even if it’s not a crime, there are guys who are hateful beyond incompetence, to the level of crime.

“Usually, a shitty car gets replaced by a Benz [a high-end car], but this time, to be clear, a Benz went and a shitty car came. And a very old one.”

Park Do-joon could only sigh at the thought.

# All sorts of petty criminals fly in?

“Oh, you’re Park Do-joon? I’ve heard a lot about you.”

“Nice to meet you, Team Leader.”

“You must be Detective Lee Ji-soo? Nice to meet you. I really wanted to see you. You’re beautiful, so beautiful.”

Park Do-joon clicked his tongue as he watched the new team leader, Lee Chang-man, introduce himself.

‘No, damn it. You have to send a decent shitty car. This is a complete nuclear waste.’

New team leader Lee Chang-man was one of the guys he really wanted to avoid. If Park Do-joon’s memory is correct, he’s the guy who got his neck cut off due to sexual harassment.

Even Lee Chang-man isn’t a profiler in the first place.

In other words, they sent a guy who doesn’t even have the enthusiasm or ability for profiling to the profiler team that needs professional expertise.

‘Damn it, damn it…….’

If he was a guy involved in crime, he would have chased him away somehow. No, if that were the case, Park Do-joon might not have remembered him. But Lee Chang-man was in Park Do-joon’s memory because he wasn’t punished in that way.

To be exact, a sexual harassment scandal broke out at the Anyoung Police Station, where he used to work.

One female police officer couldn’t stand it and blew the whistle, so it wasn’t a criminal punishment, but he was assigned to an island somewhere and was almost deported. It was a blatant order to leave.

In fact, Lee Chang-man had no intention of going to the provinces, so he ended up quitting the police station. That’s originally two years later.

‘History is twisted, well, I expected it.’

I didn’t expect such trash to come. If someone else comes, it’s enough to treat him officially even if he hates me, but this guy can’t do that.

“Our Officer Lee, I’m so glad to see you.”

Even now, the human who doesn’t even look at Park Do-joon’s face is shaking hands with Lee Ji-soo under the guise of a handshake. Lee Ji-soo didn’t know what to do in that situation.

Well, her career is too short to say anything to her superior, especially her direct superior. Eventually, Park Do-joon, who couldn’t stand it, coughed and said.

“Please stop the greetings and give us the next task.”

“What’s the rush?”

“Isn’t the profiling team always suffering from a shortage of personnel?”

When Park Do-joon said firmly, Lee Chang-man said with an annoyed face.

“Well, if you want to work that hard, I have to give you a job.”

He handed over a document as if it was a pre-prepared case, and Park Do-joon took it and examined it, but was so dumbfounded that he asked again.

“Team Leader.”

“Huh? Why?”

“Is this a case for our profiling team?”

“That’s right.”

“But this is a no-show case?”

No-show refers to the act of canceling a reservation at a restaurant after making it. It is a common occurrence in Korea, and the damage is actually not small.

However, in a situation where people die, are kidnapped, and become disabled due to assault every day, no-show cases are absolutely not assigned to the profiling team.

“Are you ignoring it because it’s a small case?”

“No, if it’s just a no-show, it seems like a problem that can be solved by the front-line police?”

“It came up because it couldn’t be done?”

‘I don’t send it up in the first place.’

If you can’t solve this kind of case, you just leave it unresolved, but it’s not a case that you entrust to profiling.

“There is no importance in a case. So you have to do your best.”

Park Do-joon was dumbfounded as he watched Lee Chang-man speak solemnly.

Of course, it is true that there is no *inherent* importance in a case. But the additional damage from this crime is at best hundreds of thousands of won [Korean currency], and a murder case can cost people’s lives if something goes wrong.

There *is* importance in a case, and at least human life is more important than money.

“But…….”

“Hey! Are you ignoring the team leader’s words?”

“I understand.”

Anyway, Park Do-joon nodded because he couldn’t ignore the first order of the new team leader. But in the next moment, even the great Park Do-joon wanted to slap that guy’s face.

“Well, it’s not a particularly important case, so you can do it alone, right?”

“Pardon?”

“I want our Officer Lee to teach me a little. I’m not a profiler, so I don’t know much about the work here. So our Officer Lee will let me know.”

At those words, Lee Ji-soo’s face turned into a crying expression.

“No, this crazy bastard……. What? There is no importance in the case? And then he tells me to do it alone? Does he not know why we work in teams now?”

Park Do-joon was sincerely angry, and Jung Yi-yeon clicked her tongue as she watched it.

“No, why do you keep such a human inside? It’s obvious. Such a human usually can’t do work very well, right?”

“I can’t. I really can’t do work very well. But that kind of bastard is really good at sucking up to the top.”

“A type who can’t do work but is good at doing what the superiors tell them to do?”

“That’s right. That’s why he came here even though he’s not a profiler.”

It’s obvious without looking. He came to screw Park Do-joon over.

In the first place, if he was a profiler, he would have no choice but to acknowledge Park Do-joon’s skills. This time, too. He ended up digging into and solving what everyone thought was suicide.

“So they assigned a bastard who doesn’t know anything.”

You have to know something to acknowledge it, and if you don’t know anything, you can’t acknowledge it.

“I think I know.”

Jung Yi-yeon also nodded. Sometimes there are people in organizations who get promoted through flattery rather than work. Of course, they don’t have no achievements at all, but those bastards make most of their achievements from below.
