My Calling Is Profiler [EN]: Chapter 484

“It’s good to show goodwill, but you have to stop right there. And from the start, our goal is to prevent the crimes the perpetrator will commit.”

Some will apply, and some won’t, but the important thing is that even that in itself will take a long time.

“But if you put up placards like that, anyone, including the perpetrator, is bound to see them.”

“It will cause psychological intimidation.”

“That’s right. The goal from the start isn’t to paint all the buildings with fluorescent paint. It’s not even possible in the first place.”

There are many landlords who oppose it from the start, fearing that their homes will be damaged even a little. For example, to install an air conditioner, you inevitably have to drill a hole in the wall, and they refuse to do that, or if you try to hammer in even a nail, they roll their eyes and demand compensation.

“But if we promote it on such a large scale, it will be difficult for the perpetrator.”

Fluorescent paint is generally invisible to the naked eye. Of course, you can see it if you look a little closer. It’s not completely colorless and odorless.

“But who in the world goes around looking at pipes with their eyes wide open?”

Moreover, to see it properly, you have to shine an infrared light in the dark of night, and logically, you can’t avoid getting caught if you do that.

From the start, an infrared light itself is too conspicuous to the human eye.

“So, for the time being, the perpetrator will be careful.”

Even if they don’t know what fluorescent paint is, they will at least feel that this atmosphere is disadvantageous to them.

“Detective Park~!”

Jeong I-yeon approached, calling out to Park Do-joon and Lee Ji-soo, who were looking at the swaying placard from behind. And Cha Dae-hoon, who was next to Jeong I-yeon, clicked his tongue as if he was dumbfounded.

“You’re really something.”

“Pardon?”

“This, I mean. Aren’t you completely predicting what will happen in this area?”

“Well, yes. In the end, human behavior patterns are obvious.”

At least if people move this noisily, the perpetrator will be wary.

“And now we have to put pressure on people to apply this forcibly.”

“We really thought that would be impossible.”

“Impossible? Well, it’s impossible with a direct approach.”

Park Do-joon shrugged. Certainly, there will be landlords who are dissatisfied if they are told to apply this fluorescent paint directly.

“But humans want to avoid it if they think they will suffer a loss.”

Humans want to reduce losses rather than gains. That’s why there aren’t many people who challenge high risk, high return.

“Humans move when you show them a definite loss rather than an uncertain gain.”

Cha Dae-hoon said that and smiled.

“Of course, knowing that and using it are completely different matters.”

“Since we have to meet real estate agents to investigate the case anyway.”

If you put a little pressure on the people you have to meet anyway, the landlords in the area will have no choice but to ask for it.

“So, let’s go quickly. There’s a lot to do.”

Park Do-joon hurried his steps. There was a lot to do, but time was too short.

“We don’t know about that.”

Park Do-joon looked for real estate agents to find a suspicious perpetrator in this area.

‘The perpetrator won’t be Korean.’

Rape is a crime that inevitably leaves genetic material with a very high probability. It’s not just about semen. In fact, many rapists use condoms to conceal their crimes.

‘But this case is rape using violence.’

The victim resists fiercely, and in the process, there is a very high probability that they will be injured or that skin tissue that could become genetic material will fall off. Nevertheless, the local police can’t track them down?

‘Then there’s only one possibility.’

There is no comparison group. So, they can’t identify them.

‘But rapists are typically criminals who escalate.’

They don’t suddenly go crazy from the beginning and say, ‘I’m going to go around raping women from today!’ It is common for rapists to show a pattern of escalating from sexual harassment to sexual assault to rape. Rape, along with arson, is a typical escalating crime.

Of course, there can be isolated sex crimes. However, such crimes are usually committed when they are drunk and can’t control themselves, or when they can’t control their momentary sexual desire and commit them impulsively.

In contrast, these continuous sex crimes are committed by people who strongly feel pleasure in suppressing the other person, and are typical escalating sex crimes.

But in that situation, they haven’t been caught even once until now? That’s very unlikely.

‘But if they fled to Korea, they have to live somewhere.’

The problem is where that is. As an illegal alien, they won’t be able to find a decent house to live in. So, they have to live somewhere else, and in the end, the most likely option is communal living.

“There must be more than one or two houses rented by Chinese people, right?”

“So, I don’t know. No, how would I know if the Chinese live together or separately?”

The real estate agent’s words are not wrong. Chinese people initially sign contracts saying they will live quietly, but at some point, they often come in droves and live in one house.

Of course, if the owner protests, they threaten them, so most owners have complaints but can’t openly say anything and only suffer in silence.

“Are there many houses rented by Chinese people?”

“There are many. Are there only one or two Chinese people here?”

Well, there are bound to be Chinese workers since there are more than one or two companies around. In fact, it is almost impossible for Korean factories, especially small and medium-sized enterprises, to operate without Chinese people.

“Then, among them, where are the places where illegal aliens are likely to be?”

“I told you I don’t know. How would I know the internal affairs of the factory? Annoying.”

And the agent, as expected, tried not to answer.

“I understand.”

At those words, Park Do-joon didn’t ask any further.

‘Well, that’s what agents are like in these places.’

These places have a lot of traffic. So, the main source of income is monthly rent or lease transactions. Therefore, there is no reason to know the house well or to talk about the inside of the house. They just introduce it and there is almost no responsibility.

‘But it won’t be this time.’

Park Do-joon didn’t ask any more questions. In fact, there is no reason to. Instead, he glanced at Jeong I-yeon. And Jeong I-yeon quickly stepped forward.

“Hello. I’m Jeong I-yeon, a lawyer from Wolgwang Law Firm.”

“A lawyer?”

At the word lawyer, the real estate agent flinched for a moment. That’s because the police who came to investigate are just public officials, so if necessary, he can just file a complaint, but a lawyer is someone who represents lawsuits, so even if he files a complaint, it won’t work.

As expected, even he, who had been confidently speaking informally to Park Do-joon, had no choice but to ask Jeong I-yeon carefully.

“What’s going on?”

“We are preparing to respond to the rape crimes occurring in this area.”

“Ugh!”

At those words, the real estate agent groaned without realizing it. That’s because, from his point of view, he doesn’t welcome these rumors.

“I have nothing to do with that.”

“Of course, you might say that now. But we came to give you a kind of warning for prevention and future compensation.”

“A warning?”

“Yes, you know that there is a sex offender roaming around in this area, right?”

“I can’t not know.”

It’s already noisy because of that, so he can’t not know.

“You also know that they are painting buildings with security paint, right?”

“Well, yes.”

The real estate agent is also an owner of a studio apartment building in this area, so he has already heard the news. In his case, he knows that it is effective, so he told them to apply it to the gas pipes, but he also knows that the number of building owners who did not agree to it is not small.

“You know the duty of disclosure for such places, right?”

“Duty of disclosure?”

“If there are serious defects when signing a building contract, it is 당연히 [dangyeonhi – naturally/obviously] the real estate agent’s responsibility to disclose them. Isn’t that right? That’s why there is a real estate agent, right?”

If that’s not the case, there’s no reason to pay a lot of money to find a room through a real estate agent. In fact, there are quite a few direct transaction sites like that on the internet.

“If you don’t disclose such places and rape or theft occurs after moving in, the real estate agent is responsible.”

“What? No, what nonsense are you talking about! Why are we responsible for that!”

“You have to take responsibility. You knew there were risk factors and you neglected them, right?”

For example, what if you hide the fact that a family committed suicide in a house and sell that house?

Of course, the person who was deceived into buying that house will claim damages from the real estate agent, and the court will 인정 [injeong – acknowledge/recognize] it with a high probability.

“It’s the same with this.”

There is already a serial rapist roaming around the neighborhood. And they know that and know that the damage is serious.

Of course, both women and men can’t help but be wary of that fact. In that situation, the issue of whether there is security or not can’t help but be taken very seriously.

“We are responsible……!”

“You have to be.”

If the police or a lawyer didn’t come and tell them, it would be one thing, but Wolgwang Law Firm is already going around to real estate agents in the area and notifying them of the fact.

Then, if a problem occurs later, it is impossible to say that they didn’t notify them of the fact or that they didn’t know.

Of course, if you don’t disclose that there is no security paint in that case, you can only see it as maliciously concealing it, and as a result, if a rape or theft occurs, the real estate agent cannot be free from responsibility.

“So, disclose it accurately, it’s not difficult.”

It’s not just saying whether it’s dangerous or not. Just saying that fluorescent paint was applied to the gas pipes or not will make people choose the painted side because of anxiety.

“Hmm.”

“Of course, refusal is impossible.”

The notification is already over. It is impossible for the real estate agent to conceal it. The moment he intentionally conceals it, his responsibility becomes enormous.

Since the commission is the same no matter which room he brokers, no one will broker a dangerous room while dangerously keeping secrets.

Moreover, the cost is not expensive and there is no damage to the building, so there is no reason for the real estate agent to bear the risk because of the building owners who unconditionally refuse.

“The funny thing is, in this case, the responsibility lies with the real estate agent, not the building owner.”
