My Calling Is Profiler [EN]: Chapter 557

“Of course, clinical trials and stuff are good for avoiding suspicion.”

“No, no, it’s not about that, it’s about accurately analyzing the target.”

“Analyzing?”

“Yes, I told you. People who push their children into these uncertain experiments don’t respect them as individuals but see them as possessions.”

Of course, they want their children to do well and succeed. And at the same time, they want their possessions to be superior, enhancing their own value.

“When a child starts doing well, they want to show it off. Most people who see their children as possessions want to brag about their success.”

All parents love their children and want to brag when they do well, but parents who want to possess their children use their success to elevate themselves.

“And information about how a child can succeed becomes a form of power among parents.”

“Power?”

“Yes, it’s not illegal, and the police usually don’t handle it, so they don’t know. But realistically, it’s a form of power among parents.”

If you go to Gangnam [a wealthy district in Seoul known for its high concentration of private education institutions], parents meet, talk, and share information. And those at the center of it are the ones who have information about studying.

“Which academy is good, which tutor is a crack shot, etc. Parents want to get on the good side of those who control information that ordinary people don’t know, to dig out information.”

“Ugh……”

Lee Ji-soo frowned at that. She hadn’t lived that life yet, and she didn’t want to.

“Such people secretly leak information as if by mistake.”

And the person who gets that information will want to push their child into the next experiment.

“It’ll be slow at first. But you can safely and reliably create drug addicts.”

“Won’t they report it?”

“That’s the problem.”

If a child goes down the wrong path, parents try to turn them back. But what if they are the cause of that wrong path? If their child becomes addicted to drugs and their life is ruined, can the parents report their child for drug addiction?

“Probably impossible.”

They won’t try to solve the drug addiction problem with the help of the police because of the guilt of what they’ve done.

“The problem is that it’s unlikely to succeed.”

Right now, they’re selling it as a study drug, so at least they’re not severely addicted. So, with proper treatment, they can recover.

“But if it gets worse, it becomes impossible to control.”

He took all of this into account, calculated it, and set a trap.

“But it seems the NIS [National Intelligence Service] didn’t notice.”

Park Do-joon smirked as he looked at the documents.

“Senior, should we raid this place right away?”

“Well? Do you think there are drugs in this place? I don’t think so.”

They’re not stupid. If they hand out drugs in that place, someone might take them to the police station, or the police who find out the information might raid it.

“At best, they’ll only leave vitamins there.”

And only when the other person is trustworthy and doesn’t report it, will they supply the drugs.

“It’s really funny. How can this happen in Korea……”

“It’s not the country that’s the problem. It’s the people.”

The conclusion that Korea is a good or bad place to live is just a personal judgment based on experience. Park Do-joon thought that humans themselves are too dangerous to trust 100%.

“So, if we can’t arrest them on the spot…”

“Who says we can’t arrest them?”

“Yes?”

“I’ve said it many times. The warrant we have isn’t for drugs.”

“Ah!”

Of course, it’s kidnapping. They have to show their bare faces to disguise themselves, and Im Tae-moo knows their faces.

“No matter how well they disguise themselves, they can’t hide their bare faces.”

And of course, that’s enough to tie them up.

“Drugs are a problem for later.”

And there was plenty of time to solve it.

“This drug is made by Nature Yellow, a global pharmaceutical company in the United States. The United States is also conducting Phase 3 trials, just like Korea.”

Today, the lecture hall was full of people who had heard rumors about the study drug.

Song An-nyeo sneered inwardly as she watched them.

‘Stupid bitches.’

She thought the people in front of her were so stupid for feeding their children something they didn’t even know what it was.

‘Just wait a little longer. This is a one-shot deal.’

They decided to give her 10% of the profits from the drugs they were selling as an incentive. Right now, they were practically giving it away for free, so there was no profit, but she knew that once it started rolling, she would make a lot of money, so she played the role of a doctor from the University of Washington even more enthusiastically.

“This product increases blood flow to the brain by approximately 20% or more. And through that rapid blood flow, it removes waste and fatigue from the brain. As a result, condition improves and academic performance increases.”

In fact, Song An-nyeo had never even been to the United States, let alone the University of Washington. She once wanted to become an actress and worked in the entertainment industry, but she couldn’t get proper support from a third-rate entertainment agency, and eventually ended up in a bar.

Of course, that wasn’t bad either. She wanted to become a celebrity because of the money, and the bar could make a lot of money too.

But as she got older, became obsolete, and her popularity began to decline, she didn’t make any money, and just as she was about to settle down, she was scammed and lost all the money she had worked so hard to save.

The job that came in that situation was inhumane and cruel, but…… who cares? Thinking that she only had to save herself, she willingly accepted the job.

“Everyone, this drug is now in its final clinical trial. It will probably be on the market in three years.”

Everyone became impatient at that. Then everyone would be competing equally. Of course, not everyone was stupid.

“But why are you testing it in Korea?”

Someone had a slight doubt. Of course, the higher-ups, who had anticipated everything, had already told them the answer to this situation.

“Korea has the highest academic fever in the world. You can’t talk about academic fever without Korea. So, we at Nature Yellow are planning to release it simultaneously in Korea. And in the case of the final clinical trial, the FDA [Food and Drug Administration] does not judge with only one or two people. Experiments must be conducted on tens of thousands of people.”

“Just that?”

“That’s not all. Humans also have different parts depending on their race. For example, East Asians have weaker pancreases than Westerners, so they secrete less insulin. Therefore, it is necessary to check whether the drug is suitable for East Asians if possible.”

The man who asked the question nodded as if he understood.

“So, is it good for Koreans?”

“Yes, there are no problems for Koreans. Rather, the drug’s effect has been shown to be about 10% better for Koreans than for Westerners.”

It was nonsense. But she was able to do it so naturally that she didn’t even realize it.

“You have been finally approved as partners in this experiment.”

“We were lucky.”

“That’s right. The president of the women’s association in our neighborhood was so reluctant to tell me about this. Hohoho.”

There was a brief commotion at that. They laughed, saying they had seized an opportunity, but Song An-nyeo knew that wasn’t the case, so she was so happy that she was about to smile.

‘Stupid bitches, watch your children become my money.’

Of course, there was no reason to hide her smile.

“As you all heard, the participation fee for the experiment is 1 million won per person.”

“Isn’t it common to give money to applicants?”

“That’s true for initial experiments. But it’s a commercially completed drug, so there are too many participants, so we can’t help it. If we did, you wouldn’t have the opportunity.”

“……But it’s still strange.”

The moment someone was about to doubt, the middle-aged women stood up.

“Don’t do it if you don’t want to!”

“Ms. Ahn in our neighborhood is so eager to join, but if you don’t want to, just quit.”

“That’s right. Why do you keep interfering with the progress!”

The questioner eventually shut his mouth at the middle-aged women’s attack.

“First of all, the application form……”

Just as she was about to guide them to the next step, the meeting room door suddenly burst open.

“Police.”

The men who came in, showing their identification cards. And Song An-nyeo’s face hardened when she saw them.

‘Why are the police here?’

But soon she had no choice but to sigh in relief.

“The name of the person lecturing?”

The fact that they didn’t even know her name meant that they hadn’t even identified the crime.

“Gloria Song.”

Of course, that’s not her real name. But even if she had to give her name at the police station, she had to at least play the role of a foreign professor in front of these suckers.

‘Where else can you find someone who acts as well as me?’

Honestly, she didn’t think her acting skills were bad. She believed that the reason she didn’t succeed was just because of her incompetent agency.

“Yes, Gloria Song, you’ll have to come with us to the police station.”

“Why? Is there any reason why I should go?”

“Well, a complaint has been filed. They said they bought medicine here but didn’t receive it?”

Song An-nyeo frowned at that.

‘Was there a shipping accident?’

That could be the case. And when she looked at the police, they were two clumsy people who didn’t look serious at all.

‘Damn it, of all times…….’

Perhaps they came because she was lecturing here, and the fact that she was lecturing here became a problem.

‘Bad luck.’

But it would be funny to fight here. She had to act like a dignified person. If she shouted no here, it would stimulate suspicion and reduce trust.

“Okay. Everyone, that’s it for today.”

“Oh no.”

“We’ll continue the briefing later.”

Gloria Song, or Song An-nyeo, confidently followed the police to the police station. And Park Do-joon and other police officers continued to watch the scene from outside the building.

“She’s really not resisting?”

“She doesn’t know that her crime has been caught, so of course she’ll try to protect her image. Who would buy the drug if she was dragged out of there, shouting no?”

“I guess so.”

“So, it’s natural for her to act like that.”
