My Calling Is Profiler [EN]: Chapter 614

“You don’t mean… You see this as a warning to me?”

“It wouldn’t be wrong to say that. A warning to provoke you into attacking.”

By doing so, he makes himself look like the weaker party socially, creating a structure that ultimately gains public support.

“What immediate effect would that have?”

“If Hong Geun-jong were to die in that situation and Hong Woo-jong were to take over the company, would people really suspect Hong Woo-jong?”

“……!”

To the public, Hong Woo-jong is just a pitiful person who lost his father and even his brother due to terrorism. But no one will mourn Hong Geun-jong’s death.

Because Hong Geun-jong is a bastard who tried to take everything from his younger brother and might even be a parricide [someone who kills a close relative] who killed his father.

“Then why use C4?”

“Someone who can handle military-grade weapons.”

Park Do-joon said, looking at Hong Geun-jong.

“Daeguk Group handles C4, right?”

“Well……”

“What? But isn’t C4 an American explosive?”

Even people who haven’t served in the military know that well enough. There have been countless scenes in movies and American dramas where the U.S. military uses it.

“That’s true. But the Korean military also produces it under license.”

“License production?”

“Korea is a country at war, after all. We need to stockpile a lot of explosives.”

Realistically, we can’t import all of that from the United States. Even if we stockpile it, we have to replace it periodically.

“So Daeguk Group is producing C4 under license.”

The official name for C4 is M112 block demolition, and in Korea, it’s called KM112 when produced under license.

“I don’t know how you know that. It’s not something the public is well aware of.”

“Wasn’t there a case a long time ago where a large amount of explosives was found in a trash can in downtown Suwon?”

“You remember that until now?”

“It just happened that way.”

In fact, there was such an incident, and the military was turned upside down. The explosives found at that time were the KM112 Korean C4 bombs.

“So, at this moment, the most suspected person is me?”

“Not immediately. But the moment you show an aggressive attitude towards Hong Woo-jong, you’ll become a heartless person who would kill his father and brothers for money.”

“That’s terrible.”

“Hong Woo-jong is a smart guy.”

He has been thoroughly digging a trap while hiding himself, and he has actually had that much patience. However, it is true that various situations have gone wrong since he met Park Do-joon, but even so, the action he took this time was quite meticulous.

“Then what should I do?”

If things continue like this, he could also die from a bomb.

“Soon, Hong Woo-jong will probably present another proxy, or rather, a mask.”

“A mask?”

“Yes, no matter how much it is Hong Woo-jong, a bomb terror is something you should never think lightly of.”

The whole world is trembling with fear because of bomb terror. The United States and Europe are in that situation. Korea is the only country where such things don’t happen often, but most countries are building systems to monitor the perpetrators of such bomb terror.

“So we need to establish a corresponding response.”

“A response?”

“That’s it.”

Park Do-joon smiled.

“We have to take all the credit for that bastard’s work. Hehehe.”

# What He’s Aiming For

Wang Woo-hwan felt chills as he listened to Hong Woo-jong’s plan.

‘He’s crazy. This guy is crazy.’

But even so, he could no longer escape from him. Because he had all of their families and even relatives in his grasp.

He thought he was just a Korean politician, a useless idiot who didn’t know anything. But in that short amount of time, Hong Woo-jong found all the elements that could become his weaknesses and was holding him tightly, shaking him.

“So, is the work going well?”

“Yes, Assemblyman Hong.”

The power dynamic had shifted to the point where Wang Woo-hwan had to bow his head, and as a result, he had no choice but to do as Hong Woo-jong ordered.

“A statement will be released soon. But will that be okay?”

“What?”

“The relationship between Korea and China will be shattered.”

“So?”

Hong Woo-jong asked back as if he didn’t understand at all.

“What does that have to do with me?”

“What?”

“What does it have to do with me? Whether the relationship between countries is shattered or not is none of my business. There’s no reason for me to care about that. The important thing is whether I seize power or not.”

“……”

He knew that. He already knew he was a psychopath. And psychopaths are guys who do anything for their own gain. Conversely, if that gain is satisfied, they don’t cause big problems.

‘I never thought of this.’

However, Wang Woo-hwan made a mistake. That is, the scale of the gain that Hong Woo-jong wants to achieve is so enormous and terrifying that he can’t even imagine it.

Usually, even if they do it for their own gain, it ends with killing one or two people.

‘But this guy is like… Hitler?’

Germany’s Hitler, who turned the whole world into a battlefield and killed tens of millions of people for his own gain. An absurd greed as if that Hitler had come back to life.

“You better do it right.”

“I understand.”

“Okay. I’m busy, so I can’t stay long.”

Hong Woo-jong said with a smile.

“I have to meet other people in the party. I need to start absorbing the party little by little. It’s a bit early, but.”

Hong Woo-jong felt uneasy even as he said that.

‘Something feels off.’

It feels like someone is struggling to stop him. And there’s a guy named Park Do-joon there. He thought about just killing him, but there were eyes around him watching him, and decisively, his brother and Hyunseong Group were protecting him, so it wasn’t easy to suppress him.

‘If necessary, I can just blow him away with a bomb.’

The problem is that even if two people related to him die in the same way, he can’t avoid suspicion.

“Release the statement today. And find a way to take care of that cop without making it obvious.”

“Yes, Assemblyman Hong.”

Wang Woo-hwan eventually bowed his head and said. And he trembled.

‘Now… hell begins.’

And he was desperately ignoring the fact that he was starting that train to hell.

Soon after, Korea was turned upside down. That’s because it wasn’t the Korean media that broke the news of Hong Chang-sik’s death, but the foreign media. To be exact, it was a statement that arrived at the foreign media.

-We, the China Unification Front, announce. The Republic of Korea must immediately surrender to Greater China, hand over all territorial sovereignty, and be incorporated as a province.

It was absurd and ridiculous. But the content was not simple.

“Aren’t they crazy?”

“No, these crazy bastards… what are they doing!”

The China Unification Front’s demands were simple. It was for Korea to become a vassal state of China. It was an absurd condition.

And they provided evidence that they had killed Hong Chang-sik, the seed of treason. That was none other than the bombs and equipment used at the scene.

The equipment shown in the filmed video matched the remains left at the scene, and as a result, the bomb terror, which had been whispered off the record, was finally revealed to the public.

-If Korea does not surrender to China, we will not stop the revolution until all Koreans are dead. Long live Greater China! Long live the Communist Party!

The evidence that came to the foreign media by fax and email was so clear that the foreign media did not hesitate to report it, and as a result, public opinion in Korea was greatly overturned.

-Drive out the Chinese bastards.

-China is targeting Korea.

Of course, it’s just the terror of some crazy bastards. And it is true that the results of that terror are causing a backlash. But apart from that, there was an element that made Koreans angry.

-Well said.

-Long live Greater China. Long live the Communist Party.

-Let’s subjugate Korea.

-Korea is a vassal state of our China. It is our mistake that they are so arrogant. We must show our strength and make them kneel under the feet of Greater China once again.

It was the public opinion of China.

The Chinese public opinion was praising the China Unification Front and idolizing them.

“What the hell is going on?”

The Gwang域 Profiling Team, which was already in chaos due to the bomb that had been dropped, was becoming increasingly overwhelmed by the continuous situation.

“No, I don’t understand what’s going on?”

Even the profilers were asking each other for advice at the meeting as if they didn’t understand the situation.

“Not Hong Woo-jong, but China?”

“Why from China?”

“If it’s something like this, isn’t it the realm of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, not our realm? What do you want us to do?”

Everyone was puzzled, and then Jo Sang-gyu looked at Park Do-joon and asked.

“Detective Park, what do you think? Do you really think that the China Unification Front in China did this?”

“I don’t think so. I still think Hong Woo-jong is the culprit.”

“Why? They’ve already issued a statement?”

“It doesn’t make sense that guys who have never been active before suddenly appear. In almost all crimes, there is an absolute standard that can be judged with the same conditions.”

“You mean profit?”

“Yes.”

The profilers tilted their heads at that.

“What profit does this have for Hong Woo-jong?”

“That’s right, sunbae [term of respect for a senior colleague]. This doesn’t seem to have any particular benefit for Hong Woo-jong?”

Park Do-joon sighed at that and got up from his seat, went to the blackboard, drew a picture, and began to explain a few things simply.

“Anti-China sentiment. And anti-communist sentiment. Who benefits from that?”

“That’s… well? I don’t know?”

“It’s Daeguk Group.”

“Daeguk Group?”

“Yes, Daeguk Group is a military company. Now China is openly talking about invading Korea.”

“Hmm……”

“To be honest, don’t you all know? North Korea? In the first place, they’re no match for us. Even if we push up with our current military power, we can capture Pyongyang [North Korea’s capital] within three days. But why is the Korean military so obsessed with firepower and state-of-the-art weapons?”

“Well.”

The official reason for doing so is because of North Korea. Because we don’t know when North Korea will invade. That’s just the superficial reason. The real purpose is due to the relationship between China or Russia, superpowers. China wants to enslave Korea, even openly treating Korea as a vassal state even in diplomatic relations, whereas we maintain a not-so-bad relationship with Russia.

The current China is such that a foreign minister of a country openly threatens the Korean government in an official setting, saying, ‘How can a small country resist a great power!’

“China wants to swallow Korea if the opportunity comes, and that cannot be denied.”

“That’s right.”

“But if Chinese public opinion rolls like that, what can Korea do?”

“Does that mean increasing military power?”

Lee Ji-soo quickly noticed. She didn’t go to the military, but it’s not difficult to predict what politicians or the public will think.
