My Calling Is Profiler [EN]: Chapter 511

“God damn it, you son of a bitch cop!”

“Are you going to put that down or what? Huh? You bastard, put it down!”

“Come on in! Come on in!”

“Hold on! What are you doing!”

In an instant, chaos erupted.

“Put it down!”

“Fuck off!”

The voices came from outside.

Park Do-joon sensed something was off amidst the commotion. Of course, he expected that they wouldn’t be easily subdued. However, he felt something was strange about the fact that the woman was screaming in panic and the police were not able to subdue them easily.

“Could you please hold the baby for a moment?”

“Pardon?”

“Please step back a bit.”

Park Do-joon handed the child to Lee Il-seop, slightly opened the door, and looked towards the entrance. He clicked his tongue in disapproval.

‘What a mess.’

The man was holding Hyo Jin-ae, pressing the fruit knife he had been using to peel an apple against her neck.

“Get out of the way! I said get out of the way!”

Hyo Jin-ae, who had suddenly become a hostage by someone she thought was an ally, was flustered and panicked. The police, having failed to subdue him and now facing a hostage situation, were unable to respond.

“Okay, okay, calm down…”

“Calm down? Calm down? Get out of the way. Everyone, get lost!”

The man was trying to escape by any means possible. However, he made a mistake. He was so focused on the police that had gathered that he completely forgot about Park Do-joon, who had locked the door and gone inside.

Park Do-joon quietly opened the door and stepped outside. He quietly approached and then, in a sudden moment, he lunged forward and twisted the man’s arm.

“Agh!”

The man screamed, and Hyo Jin-ae collapsed forward. In that instant, Park Do-joon realized what he had done.

“Oops.”

Seeing the arm dangling in the wrong direction, Park Do-joon realized that he had used too much force, but there was nothing he could do about it now.

“My arm! My aaaaarm!”

“Fuck off! You son of a bitch!”

Fortunately, the police were able to easily subdue him and put handcuffs on him. Lee Il-seop, who came out from inside, clicked his tongue as he watched.

“That must hurt.”

“We should send him to the hospital first.”

“Well, is there a need to do that?”

Lee Il-seop handed the child back to Park Do-joon, grabbed the man’s arm, and pushed it back in.

“Aaaaaagh!”

Then, a desperate scream was heard as the dislocated arm popped back into place.

“Oh, you’re good at this.”

“You get the hang of it after breaking it a few times.”

“Ah.”

Only then did Park Do-joon remember the reason for Lee Il-seop’s demotion.

The police station was quiet. That was because they couldn’t be sure whether the child Hyo Jin-ae had was the missing fetus. Therefore, they had to conduct a DNA test first.

However, despite all this, Park Do-joon didn’t seem particularly worried.

“Detective, those guys aren’t talking.”

“So that means they’re the culprits.”

“Pardon? Why is that?”

“Let’s say I broke into a perfectly normal house, stole a child, and broke the husband’s arm. What would you do first if you were them?”

“Ah, I see.”

They would immediately call a lawyer and reporters, and raise hell, claiming they were being falsely accused.

It wasn’t as if there were no reporters available. In the case of the police station, there were always reporters waiting there, so it wasn’t impossible to grab them and whine about how unfair it was.

“But they’re not saying anything and invoking their right to remain silent? That means they have something to hide.”

A claim to get their child back? They can’t return the child until the DNA test is done anyway. And once the DNA test results come out, they’ll know for sure who the parents are.

“So those guys must have a lot on their minds.”

No matter how hard they try, the issue of responsibility for murder and kidnapping remains.

“They already know why we caught them.”

There’s no way around it. When arresting a criminal, they are required to be informed of the charges against them. Even if a lawyer hasn’t arrived, they would have heard the charges of murder and infant kidnapping, so they know they’ve been caught.

“Of course, they’ll be punished. But remember? There are at least three criminals.”

One driver and two kidnappers.

“But looking at the situation, there are four.”

Because the vehicle used for the kidnapping, which was found completely burned, was a stick-shift vehicle.

However, Hyo Jin-ae’s license is a Class 2 Ordinary, which means she can only drive automatic vehicles.

“So, it’s more likely that there’s one more person than that Hyo Jin-ae drove.”

“That’s right.”

That means there are still two people who haven’t been arrested.

“If those two don’t open their mouths, those two will probably run away soon.”

They can’t hide it for long. Because the reporters are watching with their eyes wide open.

The reason the reporters are staying still now is that their crimes haven’t been confirmed yet, so the police are trying to keep it quiet.

“From the police’s perspective, they need to bring the victims’ families as soon as the DNA test is complete.”

The DNA of the victims’ families has already been secured and tested. Just in case a child is found. And from the moment they arrive, they can’t hide the secret.

The media will be excitedly reporting that they caught the criminals, and if that happens, the other two will definitely run away.

“They’ll probably flee overseas.”

If that happens, no matter how skilled the police are, there’s no way to bring them back.

“Right now, the prosecutor is doing an emergency test.”

Moreover, the testing is being conducted by the National Forensic Service, not a private entity. They’re conducting the test at maximum speed, so the results will take no more than four days.

“Can we arrest the other two within that time?”

“We have to do it somehow. It won’t be easy.”

“I guess not.”

Lee Ji-soo had no choice but to agree. Because they are currently suspected of child abduction, but they don’t know that we know about their other crimes, namely organ trafficking.

If they get caught, their other crimes could be revealed, so it’s natural for them to keep their mouths shut.

Of course, the act of murdering the mother is a very cruel and appalling crime. But due to the nature of Korean law, the sentence will only be about 15 years at best.

However, organ trafficking is 100% punishable by death. Since the death penalty is not carried out, it means they will be imprisoned until they die.

“So they won’t open their mouths.”

“I suppose not. And in this situation…”

“Do-joon!”

As soon as he said that, Jo Sang-gyu burst into the room.

“Do you want me to interrogate them?”

“You want me to interrogate them…? Huh? How did you know?”

“It’s obvious.”

Park Do-joon said as he stood up.

“I’m the only one who said the criminals are suspected of organ trafficking.”

“I guess so.”

Among the many profilers, Park Do-joon is the only one who suspects organ trafficking. Of course, there is no evidence. However, based on Park Do-joon’s analysis, the criminal was actually arrested, so you can’t say that his organ trafficking-related information is wrong.

“So I was wondering if you could look into it…”

“I know what you mean.”

He instinctively felt that if he tried to investigate clumsily and they clammed up, it would become more difficult.

“It’s surprising that you ask the detective about everything. Usually, you just try to poke around and give up if it doesn’t work, right? Even if it’s organ trafficking.”

If they don’t know, they just move on. That’s generally the pattern of behavior for the police. No, rather, they are too lazy to work, so sometimes they turn a blind eye to crimes even when they know about them.

“I’m the problem.”

“Detective?”

“Yeah, me.”

“Why is that?”

“I’ve screwed you over many times. I was certain that it was an organ trafficking-related crime, and I analyzed it and caught the criminal. What do you think would happen if the police handled it carelessly and covered it up?”

“I guess you wouldn’t let it go with your personality.”

He would track it down personally and somehow bring the organ trafficking case to the surface.

“And I have the ability to do that, and I’ve done it many times.”

Moreover, this case is receiving a lot of attention from the police and the media is watching with their eyes wide open.

“We managed to catch the criminal quickly and create a somewhat good atmosphere, but what if we ignored the fact that the criminals are suspected of being organ traffickers? What would happen?”

Offsetting merits and demerits? Unfortunately, there is no such thing in Korea. Merits are merits, and demerits are demerits. In particular, the police organization is bound to be an organization with more demerits than merits for the public. In the first place, what can be called a merit is the original job itself, so it can’t be called a merit, whereas the demerits are piled up because they can’t do it properly.

“But if I try and fail, there’s no problem.”

“I guess not.”

Park Do-joon wouldn’t go around talking about his failures, and even if he did fail, it wouldn’t be the police’s fault.

Even if he miraculously approaches the truth later, Park Do-joon’s personality wouldn’t call this a police investigation, but rather his personal investigation. After all, they gave him the opportunity, and they gave him the right to investigate.

“Hmm, ‘go for broke,’ I see.”

“Yeah, moreover, the lawyers haven’t arrived yet, but they’ll both be here. They requested a public defender, and they said they’ll be here in the morning. Then you know, right?”

“A proper investigation will be impossible.”

As soon as the lawyer arrives, they’ll tell them to invoke their right to remain silent unconditionally.

“If the lawyers come, will the investigation be possible? Those guys won’t open their mouths easily.”

“It’s difficult as it is, but it’s not impossible.”

Park Do-joon shrugged and said.

“Thanks to that guy’s self-destruction, things have become easier. Hehehe.”

Park Do-joon said leisurely.

“You can use the lawyer too, what’s the big deal.”

Hyo Jin-ae’s hands and feet were trembling with tension.

She didn’t even realize that things were going wrong, but suddenly they went wrong.

‘This isn’t right.’

Originally, the goal was to marry Joo Cheol-shik and then kill Joo Cheol-shik and his parents. All the preparations were complete. Joo Cheol-shik’s parents are people who go abroad at the drop of a hat.

In particular, knowing that they travel to Southeast Asia quite often, she had already hired a gang there.

The plan was to kidnap them, kill them locally, and then make it look like Joo Cheol-shik committed suicide.

Joo Cheol-shik is a man who is weak-hearted and mentally soft. If he was shocked by the fact that his parents died and committed suicide, the people around him would understand.

She had already registered the marriage and had a child. So she thought that if she inherited the property and disposed of the child, she could live a life of luxury from then on.

But out of the blue, Joo Cheol-shik’s parents allowed the marriage, and while she was flustered, she was caught by the police and even had a DNA test.

Moreover, the hitman she contracted with was in Southeast Asia, but he even fled to the United States.

Of course, in reality, he fled to Switzerland, but no matter which way he went, she wouldn’t be able to touch him.
