My Calling Is Profiler [EN]: Chapter 469

“Hmm……”

Park Do-joon pondered the statement for a while before speaking.

“I think we need to regain control once more.”

“How do you mean?”

“We need to hire a voice actor who is good at acting.”

“A voice actor who is good at acting?”

Yoo Gi-tae couldn’t understand and tilted his head in confusion.

-President Kim, what should we do? The police have come all the way here.

‘Shit. How did they know?’

The voice of the man on the phone was shaking uncontrollably. Kim Oh-sang felt his heart sink.

“So, you didn’t dispose of it, did you?”

-I’m pretending I don’t know anything, but they’re searching the island like crazy right now.

“I told you to dispose of it properly!”

-I, I can’t do it. President Kim, what should I do?

“Damn it. Shit!”

After the cops caught the scent, he urgently called the people he had traded with and warned them to be careful. But it turned out there was an idiot among them.

“Just throw them into the sea!”

-I can’t! The police are guarding the harbor right now. I need to get permission from the police to go out on a boat.

“That’s why I told you to move quickly.”

-President Kim, please help me. Huh? We had a deal.

“You son of a bitch… Hooo~!”

Kim Oh-sang frowned at those words. Well, there are always guys like that. Some ruthless people will throw a newborn into the sea without hesitation, but there are always those who can do human trafficking or prostitution but can’t cross the line to murder.

“I have no choice. So, where do I need to go? You know it won’t be free, right?”

-How much will it cost?

“Five million won per person.”

-That’s too expensive.

“Then do it yourself.”

-You’ll kill them for sure, right?

“I’ll kill them, so tell me the location quickly.”

-Thank you. Thank you so much. You can come to Ulleungdo [a South Korean island located east of the Korean peninsula].

“Okay. Do you have a place to dispose of the bodies?”

-There’s a cliff on the opposite side. If you throw them from there, no one will know.

“Wait for me.”

With those words, Kim Oh-sang hung up the phone. Then he immediately made another call.

“Hey, it’s me. I need you to finish something off.”

“He’s coming?”

Lee Ji-soo was honestly dumbfounded. It was so absurd that she was at a loss for words.

“You didn’t think he would come?”

“Yes, well, I mean, how would he know where it is?”

“He doesn’t know where it is in the first place anyway.”

“Huh?”

“Usually, when handing them over, they rarely come to the actual location.”

People focus on the fact that they are slaves and are being exploited, but as a police officer and profiler, what we must not forget is the intermediate process.

“These kinds of transactions usually take place externally.”

To be exact, the slaves are handed over at a third location, and the owner pays the money and takes the slaves from the scene.

“Criminals don’t usually do business in their own homes, do they?”

“That’s true.”

“Do you think it would be any different just because they’re using slaves?”

It’s not that they think it’s not a crime just because they’re using slaves. It’s just that the local court, prosecutors, and police are desperately trying to shield them.

“So, they try to trade at a third location to prevent tracking without even realizing it.”

Of course, the supplier doesn’t know where the slaves they take go.

“But there are times when they need to dispose of the slaves. But using them as slaves and killing them are completely different matters.”

“The psychological pressure is completely different, isn’t it?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

In fact, there was a man who exploited women as sex slaves for more than 10 years, but when his business failed, he abandoned the women in an unfamiliar place and was arrested after running away.

“Didn’t the owner of that shop think that the freed women would go to the police?”

“Well, I guess that’s true.”

He knew, but in the end, he couldn’t kill them, so he had no choice but to abandon them in a place where they couldn’t be tracked and ran away.

“There’s no way there wouldn’t be someone like that doing human trafficking. I said it at the beginning of the case. The level of individual conscience is different.”

“So, it’s not just a problem for sex buyers.”

“Yes, that’s right.”

In fact, if you tell ordinary people to kill even a dog, they will generally refuse. But kill a person?

“Of course, they can’t.”

“But I still don’t understand. Don’t they know they’re their customers?”

“Usually, they can’t know. But the situation is what it is.”

“Situation?”

“He knows the police are tracking him. So, what would he do first?”

“Ah!”

Of course, he would destroy the evidence first. Records of who he sold how many people to, where he sold them, and how much he received. He would have destroyed 100% of that.

“He would destroy it right away like this?”

“Yes, it’s different from corporate crime.”

“Different from corporate crime?”

“The reason for keeping such data is only when they judge that they can pressure the other party to get something out of them.”

For example, in the case of corporate or political crimes, the recordings or evidence become weapons to pressure the other party in case of emergency. The reason they give bribes or lobby is to use their power to gain future benefits.

“In such cases, it’s not easy to destroy the evidence.”

“Why?”

“There’s a backlash.”

The moment I destroy the evidence because the police are tracking me, will the other company or politician just pressure the police to bury the case?

“No, I don’t think so. I understand what you mean.”

Rather, they will prepare for any possible situation and try to suppress and eliminate the other party altogether. Because they don’t know what they might do later.

Furthermore, since there is no way to prove the bribes they gave or the dirty work they did on their behalf at the time the evidence was destroyed, their relationship is as good as gone.

“But logically, there’s no reason to keep records of these slave crimes for future reference.”

Extort money by threatening them? The punishment is stronger for them. Furthermore, if such rumors spread, they would have to close their business.

“In other words, having the evidence is actually disadvantageous to them. So, there’s no reason to hide the evidence.”

“But there are no records for future transactions.”

“All you need is a phone number without any other records, right?”

“But the phone number we have is a completely unknown number.”

“Yes, that’s right. But there’s a situation. If you were trying to hide a crime while talking on the phone, what would you do?”

“Aha!”

People’s thoughts are obvious. They will try to call with someone else’s cell phone or a burner phone. Furthermore, if the police are tracking them right in front of their noses, it would be stupid for them to call with their own cell phone.

“So, they’ll think you called with a burner phone or someone else’s phone because of the situation.”

So, even if they tell you to come somewhere, the elements of suspicion are reduced. Because they would never have taken you there directly in the first place.

“And usually, these slaves are traded through local employment agencies anyway. Isn’t that right?”

“You know a lot?”

“Well, it’s obvious.”

How do people who need slaves and people who want to sell slaves meet? Do they contact each other on their own? They don’t even know each other? Furthermore, they are both criminals?

“There’s a broker in every crime.”

So, how do they meet? The most common way to meet is through an intermediary broker, an employment agency.

“Ordinary people don’t know this well.”

“You need to know to be a police officer.”

If someone who needs a slave tells the labor broker that they need people, the broker tells the supplier. Then the two exchange slaves, and the broker makes a considerable amount of money in between.

“The problem is that these brokers are hardly punished in Korea. Shit.”

Human trafficking is a problem for the supplier and the buyer, and the broker only introduced the two people. As a result, the broker is rarely punished.

“That’s the biggest reason why this slave system has been running for decades.”

When things calm down a bit, the person who needs a slave can just go back to the broker, and conversely, the seller can go to the person they used to trade with and say that they are slowly starting to work, and they will arrange the mediation.

“But this time, they can’t go through a broker.”

They have to trade directly. So, even if they contacted you directly, the elements of suspicion would be further reduced.

“And since you told him that the police are right in front of him, Kim Oh-sang must be even more anxious.”

“I guess so. It’s uncertain whether a person with a weak heart can withstand the pressure from the police.”

“That’s right. Exactly.”

Those who mercilessly kill newborns are unbelievably ruthless, but can those who are too weak to commit murder be ruthless enough to withstand the pressure from the police?

“They have to block the work somehow to prevent tracking.”

“But killing the women won’t block it, will it?”

Park Do-joon chuckled at those words.

“Kill the women? Who’s killing who?”

Park Do-joon grinned.

“Kim Oh-sang will think differently. Hehehe.”

“Were there women like this?”

“Damn it, how many bastards have we sold off?”

Kim Oh-sang’s gang, who arrived in Ulleungdo, said irritably. The men who forcibly dragged the half-soulless women to the back of the island said irritably.

“The cops haven’t noticed anything for decades, how did they know?”

“I don’t know, shit.”

“Let’s clean up quickly and get out of here. Hyung [older brother or close male friend], shouldn’t we go abroad for a while?”

“I was thinking about that anyway. Let’s go to Vietnam as soon as the work is finished.”

“Yes, Hyung.”

As Park Do-joon expected, the group of four men and one woman dragged the women, who couldn’t even walk properly, through the forest where there was no proper path.

“Here, here!”

“Damn it, how can an old man be so strong? Huff, huff!”

“I know.”

The old man who commissioned the work urged them urgently, and the gang members followed him to the top of the island, even though they were annoyed. And after a while, they arrived at the cliff and were looking at the opposite side.

“Wow!”

“If we throw them from here, we won’t even be able to find the bodies, right?”

A steep cliff. The deep sea below showed a dangerous appearance with rough waves.

“If we throw them from here, no one will be able to find them.”

The old man looked around nervously, as if he was uneasy. And the old man said in a shrunken posture.

“I… I don’t have to be here, do I?”

“What?”

“No, well, I’ve grown fond of them….”

In other words, he couldn’t bear to see someone he knew die.

And Kim Oh-sang frowned at those words.

“You have no guts as a man?”

“No, I’m just a little… I’ll go down there, so come down when you’re done.”

As the old man tried to go down in the opposite direction from which he had come, Kim Oh-sang gestured to his subordinate behind him as soon as he changed direction.
