My Calling Is Profiler [EN]: Chapter 556

“Welcome. I’m Kevin Bahn. I welcome all of you who have participated in this clinical trial. As I mentioned in advance, you must sign a security agreement and maintain confidentiality regarding your participation.”

The parents nodded, their eyes full of enthusiasm. Wang Woo-hwan, watching from the back of the lecture hall, sneered and left.

“Those stupid *Gaoli Bangzi* [a derogatory term for Koreans] bastards. All they care about is their kids studying well, so they’ll feed them anything, huh?”

“That’s right.”

It wasn’t hard to deceive them by pretending it was a good medicine. With a bit of expert posturing, a forged ID, and FDA approval documents that they couldn’t verify, it was easy to fool the parents.

“They’re really stupid.”

“They’re stupid, but there’s also a regional factor.”

“A regional factor?”

“If it were Seoul, someone might have the resources to verify it.”

There would be many parents who are fluent in English, and some who could check whether it has been approved by the U.S. FDA.

“But the level of parents in this factory area is obvious.”

Of course, since they work for large corporations, they won’t be completely illiterate. But even if they can read, they won’t openly call or email the U.S. FDA to inquire.

In the first place, it is unlikely that the FDA, which is overwhelmed with work, will reply to such emails. The non-cooperation of American civil servants is beyond imagination.

“But knowing something superficially is poison to people.”

*I’m* smarter than others. *So* I don’t make mistakes. There are so many fools who think that way.

“Originally, the really smart guys are always wary. But the fools aren’t like that. They think, ‘I’m smart, so my thoughts must be right.’”

Wang Woo-hwan said that and smiled.

“Look at those guys. Some of them can definitely read English. Yeah. But they never think that we would manipulate the documents.”

In fact, the document is a fake, made according to the standards and format of the U.S. FDA.

“Those fools are the easiest to deceive, hahaha.”

In fact, scammers often target high-ranking police officers, teachers, and even professors. They have some knowledge and think, ‘Surely I won’t be fooled?’ so they believe the scammer’s words too easily.

“Hyung-nim [term for older brother or respected male figure], why do you bother attaching the condition of a clinical trial to sell it?”

One of his subordinates tilted his head, confused. Since the purpose is to addict people to drugs and exploit them cheaply, if they just spread it widely, they could create addicts quickly. Instead, they are secretly recruiting people under the guise of clinical trials and selling to them secretly.

“You stupid bastard. That’s why you live like that.”

“……”

“Humans want to seize opportunities only for themselves. They don’t want others to have the same opportunities. What if we sell this as a formal product? So, are you going to do mail order sales?”

“That’s… not it, right?”

“In the first place, if such a good medicine is developed, who would gather among themselves and sell it secretly?”

Of course, they would promote it extensively and try to increase the supply extensively.

“I told you. Those guys are fools, but they’re not complete idiots.”

Someone will doubt it. Of course, they won’t ask questions about FDA approval, but they can report it to the police, and the police will naturally ask the FDA. No matter how lazy the U.S. FDA is, it won’t ignore the words of a country’s police agency, so a response will come.

“If we grow the drug market like that? We’ll all be dragged away by the Korean cops. And other bastards will eat up the market we created. But if we sell it to a small number of people under the condition of confidentiality like this? They will probably shut their mouths to seize this opportunity. We can safely sell drugs.”

“Ah. I didn’t know that part. You’re amazing, Hyung-nim. Your insight is amazing.”

The subordinate bowed his head, sticking out his tongue in amazement. Wang Woo-hwan nodded, satisfied.

“The *Bangzi* bastards think they’re smart. But they haven’t met a *really* smart guy.”

Wang Woo-hwan, looking at the parents listening to the lecture with faces full of anticipation, suddenly asked.

“So, did you find the other makeup artists [people who can create fake IDs]?”

“Not yet… It doesn’t seem like the Korean police know yet, so let’s just ask Im Tae-moo.”

“No. A method that the Korean police use well is entrapment. We might get caught if we entrust the work to Im Tae-moo in a situation where it is uncertain whether he knows the situation.”

Wang Woo-hwan said exactly as Park Do-joon expected.

“If we can’t find one, bringing one from the home country is also a method. We might have to keep using them.”

“I’ll ask the home country, Hyung-nim.”

“Okay.”

Wang Woo-hwan nodded at his subordinate’s words and said.

“Are the drugs sufficiently prepared?”

“Yes, I diluted it a bit, but I will gradually increase the amount in the future.”

“Those stupid bastards, believing the lie that drugs can make you study well.”

He scoffed at the parents, unaware that he was just as foolish as them.

The National Intelligence Service. An organization responsible for the nation’s important information, security, and counterintelligence. They wield absolute power.

“You’re giving this to me this easily?”

As Park Do-joon expected, the National Intelligence Service quickly handed over the information they had investigated. They didn’t tell him the method. But he expected that it would contain all sorts of illegally obtained information.

“They have no choice. Illegally obtained information has no evidentiary value.”

“That’s right.”

“But this case clearly involves Koreans.”

If it were just a spy ring composed of Chinese people, they could just crack down on them without hesitation or quietly dispose of them, but since Koreans are involved, they have to go to trial, and there is no way to win the trial with illegal information.

“Doesn’t your side have profilers too?”

Lee Ji-soo asked, feigning ignorance. There’s no way the National Intelligence Service wouldn’t use profiling, which the police also use.

“They probably do. But you know, that National Intelligence Service profiler is just as bad.”

“Yes?”

“Just as you judge from the police’s point of view, that profiler is also from the National Intelligence Service’s point of view.”

“Is that so?”

“And you know what? In the end, a civil servant is just a civil servant.”

Park Do-joon shrugged and said.

“Just a civil servant?”

“A high sense of duty? Loyalty to the country? Of course, there might be some of that.”

Park Do-joon said that and tapped the documents handed over by the National Intelligence Service with his fingertips.

“But there’s something that takes precedence over that.”

“What is it?”

“Making a living.”

“Does that kind of issue come into play here?”

“Of course.”

The National Intelligence Service isn’t stupid, so there’s no way they wouldn’t take Park Do-joon’s analysis to their own profiler.

“The problem is that no matter how he analyzes it, the conclusion is that my words have potential.”

“Why?”

“Of course, because he doesn’t want to take responsibility.”

If he analyzes it and says, ‘This is not it,’ and the National Intelligence Service neglects this case, and China succeeds in stealing information? Then he’ll lose his head. But if he said there was a possibility, but he was wrong in that situation? Then only Park Do-joon gets cursed. Because it is true that there is a possibility.

“If he’s wrong, I get cursed, but if he’s right, *he* gets cursed.”

“Ah~!”

People with the profession of profiler have no place to go anyway.

“Not to mention those from the National Intelligence Service. Is it easy to change jobs?”

“Absolutely not.”

In order to change jobs, especially as a psychological analyst called a profiler, you need experience. No company hires someone without experience as an expert.

“You can’t write ‘Former National Intelligence Service profiler’ on any documents you submit anywhere.”

“That’s right.”

Of course, from the employer’s point of view, they have to hire someone with a gap of several years, or even decades, so would they want to do that?

“Even if you falsely create an affiliation somewhere else.”

For example, let’s say you worked for a travel agency. Then, even if you want to work as a profiler, you can’t work because your experience is zero.

However, if he were to work as a regular office worker, it would be impossible because he did not actually work as a regular person, so he would not know the work process properly.

“From their point of view, they end up choosing something safe.”

“That’s right.”

That’s why Park Do-joon can make the bold choice of involving the National Intelligence Service. They will have no choice but to help him regardless of the truth.

And profilers have a way of speaking that doesn’t give definite answers. In the end, it’s all about possibilities and a direction based on calculated probabilities.

That’s probably the same for profilers belonging to the National Intelligence Service.

“For him, just saying that the probability is high is enough to escape all responsibility.”

And in that situation, the National Intelligence Service will use all sorts of methods to find suspicious guys, and no matter how much Wang Woo-hwan uses his head, he can’t hide from the National Intelligence Service, which has information power that can’t even be compared to the police.

“A secret clinical trial is being conducted on students for drugs that improve their studies…”

To be exact, it’s a rumor. There is no one who has taken it, and there is no one who will give it. But the rumor is spreading by word of mouth, and in fact, testimonies of children’s grades improving, so-called testimonials, are also spreading by word of mouth.

“Word of mouth… He really used his head well.”

“Studying well with just one drug. What are they thinking? It’s amazing.”

There is no way to study well with just one drug. There is only such expectation.

“But people try to find an easy way and try to believe it.”

Even when it comes to dieting, humans look for diet pills and diet supplements instead of the difficult path of exercise.

“It’s the same with children. Parents who are obsessed with this tend to think of their children as their possessions. As a result, they try to control their children in the direction they want, even if they have to endure some side effects.”

If parents respected their child as a person, they would not try to push their child into a clinical trial that has not yet been verified.

“The important thing is that when such people start giving so-called testimonials, it means that this rumor is gaining traction.”

“Yes? The recruitment condition is secrecy?”

Park Do-joon snorted at Lee Ji-soo’s words.

“Where is there secrecy in this world? The guy who recruited this used his head a lot.”
