My Calling Is Profiler [EN]: Chapter 580

“But if that’s not the case, the story doesn’t change even when they grow up.”

But if such education is not provided in childhood, the value of human beings diminishes, and human life becomes merely a tool.

“That’s exactly how Chinese education is.”

Anything goes. Winning is everything. It’s not the scammer who’s bad, but the scammed who’s stupid. Most criminals raised in such a Chinese culture kill people without much hesitation.

“The reason why the level of violent crime has increased in Korea compared to the past is also because of that.”

“That’s why?”

“Yes, now the side effects of the wrong education in the past are coming out.”

There was a time in Korea when an atmosphere was created that praising children would help them grow well, and it was argued that children should never be scolded, and that scolding children was child abuse.

The problem is that it was only half right.

“Children have problems with adaptability, and at the same time, their brakes are broken.”

The current serious situation is that children who have been praised all their lives start to get cursed at with words like ‘son of a bitch’ and ‘dog bastard’ when they enter society, causing their mental state to collapse and making them unable to adapt to the company and running away.

Even new employees who passed the interviews of large corporations or public officials who struggled to pass were not immune to this phenomenon.

Conversely, discipline is necessary to control children who go astray, but instead of scolding them, they were only praised, resulting in a situation where, like in the old fable, a needle thief becomes a cow thief [meaning a petty thief will escalate to larger crimes if not corrected early on].

“Well, there’s no ‘moderation’ in Korea.”

“That’s right. Why else would Teacher Kim Gu have said that if Buddhism comes in, Joseon [historical Korean kingdom] will be for Buddhism, and if Jesus comes in, Joseon will be for Jesus?”

Discipline does not simply mean scolding. It is education about actions that should not be done, and a process of internalizing the punishment that occurs when those actions are done, and training oneself to be able to control oneself.

But for the generation that can’t do that, their mental state is either completely weak or they fall into extreme self-love.

“Ji Jin-tae’s gang is new and it was their first time there, so they must have thought they were their own gang members.”

Of course, there will be their own gang members there. But the fact that they didn’t stop it means that it’s the same thing after all.

“So it’s a collaboration between Chinese and Korean organizations.”

Reporter Seo Ju-ran wrote it down, her face filled with anticipation. Well, even this much would be a huge case.

“That’s probably the case. In fact, such cases are increasing tremendously.”

Korean criminal organizations provide the Korean market, and Chinese organizations send money and people. This is what is happening in the dark world right now.

Even with voice phishing [phone scams], the calls are made from overseas, but the money has to be collected in Korea, and they can’t send Chinese people for that.

“The global collusion of criminal organizations is not exactly a secret anymore.”

In the past, most of them were trying to protect their territory, saying things like ‘nawabari’ [Japanese term for territory] and so on. But that was because they were ignorant and could only think of making money through protection money.

But in this day and age, there is a limit to extorting protection money, and especially since the era has come when capital can suppress force, demanding protection money is just another name for suicide.

“So criminals are becoming globalized.”

“Globalization of criminal organizations? Not even nationwide?”

“The concept of nationwide is outdated in the first place. Do you know where the hottest money laundering is right now in the world?”

“Money laundering? Where?”

“Farms.”

“Farms?”

“Yes. People think that agriculture is far from criminal organizations, but in fact, criminal organizations will do anything if it makes money.”

Al Capone of the United States is said to be a villain who shook the times, but on the other hand, it is not wrong to say that he laid the foundation for modern American dairy farming.

Al Capone jumped into the milk delivery business to launder money and generate profits, and he was the first to create a refrigerated delivery system for milk.

Before that, milk was delivered in glass bottles at room temperature, and even before that, it was delivered in bulk using steel milk cans, causing thousands of cases of food poisoning every year.

But Al Capone felt that the milk being thrown away was a waste, so he introduced a refrigeration system, and as food poisoning naturally decreased, milk consumption increased.

“They’ll do anything if it makes money…….”

“Yes, and the most preferred farm by global criminal organizations right now is avocado farms.”

As it became known as a health food, many people started looking for avocados, and sales actually increased tremendously.

However, it is also true that there are many problems worldwide because of this.

Even in Brazil alone, there are countless avocado farms, and it is an unknown secret that more than 80% of them are owned by Brazilian gangs.

“That much?”

“Yes.”

They’ll do anything if it makes money. That’s what companies and criminal organizations have in common. The only difference is whether they operate within the realm of the law if possible, or whether they operate openly outside the law.

“The important thing is that the most important thing at this point is to join hands with China and commit all sorts of crimes.”

“Then we can track that ship?”

Park Do-joon looked at Lee Ji-soo at those words. Then Lee Ji-soo shook her head.

“No, it’s difficult. The New Marine is out fishing right now.”

“Fishing? But didn’t you just say it was for smuggling and illegal immigration?”

“We have to avoid suspicion.”

The government can’t possibly not know that a company that doesn’t engage in fishing activities is making billions of dollars in profits every year. Of course, they would want to avoid suspicion in any way possible, and the best way to do that is through fishing.

If they actually catch fish and bring it back, who would suspect them?

“Anything else besides that?”

“There’s nothing really. In the first place, the New Marine’s fishing area is on the Chinese side.”

“Of course.”

If the fishing area is in the South Sea or the East Sea, and they approach the Chinese side, even if the Coast Guard is stupid, they wouldn’t not track that ship.

The method of tracking ships is not only radar. All ships must have tracking devices for safety.

This is to prevent the ship from capsizing or being captured. Of course, it can be turned off on the ship, and in reality, such ships are a headache for the Navy or the Coast Guard. There are more than a few who turn it off to engage in fishing activities inside the dangerous military demarcation line and then run away.

“So we have to track them.”

“Track?”

“Yes, if we unify the situation so far, one story comes out. Was it called the New Marine? Those guys are definitely for smuggling or illegal immigration. Right?”

“That’s right.”

“Then can those guys enter the port?”

“That’s…… uh?”

Lee Ji-soo was taken aback by those words. Of course, it’s not strange for a ship to enter the port. But it’s strange for dozens of people to pour out of a ship that came into the port.

“Whether people get off or something gets off, they can’t do it in the port after all.”

They have to do it in the middle of the ocean.

“Uh, um…….”

And Lee Ji-soo had a troubled look on her face after hearing those words. And reporter Seo Ju-ran, who had heard the story so far, also realized what the problem was.

“But there’s no way to catch them, is there?”

The Great Yeonggwang Faction is like a ghost that exists but doesn’t exist. How can we track those guys? Furthermore, the ship is not small, and if it’s a 100-ton ship, there will be more than a few people on board.

“Senior, furthermore, we are now, um…… you know.”

“Yes, officially we came out to investigate fare dodging.”

It’s funny, but that’s the reality. The fare dodgers have been arrested, and now we have to go back, but it’s impossible to ask someone for help in a situation where we’re pretending not to go back.

“They’re already making a fuss about blowing up our profiling team, so it’s obvious what will happen when we go back.”

The moment they receive a report about the guys they were thoroughly protecting, they will try to blow up the profiling team no matter what. There’s a high possibility that they’ll just blow it up unconditionally without even having a plan to fabricate that there are no results.

“So we have to set a trap.”

“A trap?”

“Yes.”

Park Do-joon glanced at Seo Ju-ran.

“So Ms. Seo Ju-ran needs to help us a little.”

“Huh? Me? Should I write an article?”

“No, that won’t work.”

No, in the first place, the police superiors are the ones who determine the scope of work. Even if the media publishes a news story saying, ‘They’re trying to disband the team,’ it doesn’t really mean anything to those superiors.

The police will say, ‘There’s absolutely no such thing, and it’s a normal work process.’

“In the first place, the purpose of the police—or rather, in this case, it would be right to say it’s an excuse. It’s not a bad thing either.”

To apply profiling, which has only been applied to violent crimes, to general crimes to accumulate data and increase the arrest rate in the long term.

This is not wrong, and it was what Park Do-joon had been arguing for even before the regression.

“Ah, in that case, the ripple effect would be weak.”

Anyone can see that the police are on the side of justice, and it looks like the profiling team is whining, saying, ‘We don’t do crappy work,’ in opposition to the police.

“That’s right. I hope you can help in a different way.”

“How?”

“First of all, I would appreciate it if you could say that you received a tip.”

“A tip?”

“Yes, smuggling is not the only thing that the Coast Guard is taking issue with. Or should we call it smuggling? Hehehe.”

Park Do-joon smiled and said.

“If you report it, the Coast Guard will have no choice but to move.”

“So you’re saying a tip came in?”

“Yes.”

“Is this…… true?”

“Oh my? Why would I lie?”

“No, even so, to load and unload from a 100-ton ship…….”

“Isn’t that because it’s worth the money?”

“Hoo~ That’s true.”

The Coast Guard executive’s face becomes sullen.

“I’m not asking for much. Please put me and my team on the ship.”

“It’s dangerous.”

“I wouldn’t be a reporter if it wasn’t dangerous. Do I look like a culture reporter to you?”

“That’s true, but…….”

Loading and unloading is one of the crimes that the Coast Guard and the Customs Service are scratching their heads and trying to catch.

Simply put, it is the act of going out to the high seas from a fishing boat, loading fish caught elsewhere onto a domestic ship, bringing it back, and selling it as domestic.

The reason why this is a headache is that, first of all, no tariffs are attached, and in the case of domestic products, the price jumps.

The difference between Chinese and Korean products is almost three times, but in the case of fish, there is no nationality mark that can distinguish the nationality, so it is difficult to crack down.

Land animals such as pigs and cows are surprisingly thoroughly managed, and it is possible to distinguish which country they were raised in through genetics. Cows raised in the United States are different, cows raised in Korea are different, and cows raised in Brazil are different.
