My Calling Is Profiler [EN]: Chapter 637

“Actually, in those cases, they just get a rough education.”

“Just education……”

“If you have money, someone has to protect it, right? Do you think someone making the kind of profit your brother is talking about earns that money by working?”

“I guess that’s true.”

There would be limits to living such a glamorous life just by earning money through work.

“Those types your brother is talking about are usually the second or third sons who have been pushed out of the competition at home.”

“Really?”

“Yeah, they have no chance as successors, so they just get educated.”

As Park Do-joon listened, he began to understand the situation roughly.

“Then the hatred for poor people is understandable.”

“Is it because of SNS [Social Networking Services]?”

“That’s an amplifier.”

An algorithm is a system that shows people what they want to see. Of course, if he didn’t have a hatred for the common people from the start, there would be no reason to show it to him.

“In that respect, I was curious as to why the hatred started.”

“And?”

“If it’s as you said, he chose a target to compare himself to.”

A man with successful siblings, who is pushed out of the succession competition, would naturally have nothing he could do in the process.

Fighting over the succession structure is absurd, and it would be impossible to achieve anything on his own.

“So, they usually pick out someone inferior to themselves and comfort themselves.”

For example, when a poor person says they are struggling, there are people who say, ‘But it’s better than the poor in Africa, right? Those kids can’t even eat.’

The commonality of such people is that they set their standards very low, so they can comfort themselves by saying, ‘At least I’m better than them.’

“Is that what the common people are?”

“Yeah. It’s relative superiority.”

And to ensure that relative superiority, they go to places like Cobrian [an online platform], and if they continue to be exposed to stimuli there, they go through the process of relative superiority turning into hatred, and hatred turning into animosity.

“Tsk, tsk. How pathetic.”

“Rather than pathetic, it’s probably an expression of inferiority.”

Inferiority doesn’t end with self-deprecation. It gnaws at oneself and eventually gnaws at the surroundings.

“Let me know when you find him. I’m curious who it is.”

“Well, even if I don’t tell you, won’t it become a rumor later?”

“That’s true.”

In the meantime, Lee Ji-soo found a few items and came outside.

“Would this be enough for verification?”

Jung Yi-yeon shook her head at the sight of her bringing bags and handbags.

“I guess not. I’ll pick them out for you.”

“Yes? But this is a very famous brand?”

“That’s why it won’t work. You have to pay attention to the ranking to get verified.”

“Ranking?”

“Yes, being famous means that ordinary people can easily access it.”

For example, Nelsen, the most famous luxury brand, has become so famous that the rich don’t even use it anymore. If you classify it, it is clearly classified as a luxury item, but it is difficult to see it as a differentiating factor.

“Ah. It’s like that wallet verification.”

“Wallet verification?”

“There is such a thing.”

“Anyway, what you’re holding now are luxury goods, but you can see them as a moderate level that ordinary people can verify. To properly verify……”

Jung Yi-yeon went inside and held out a plain-looking bag.

“It has to be this level.”

“What is this?”

“Hermann. It’s a brand that people generally don’t know well. It’s a small production and only known people buy it, you can say it’s a luxury above luxury.”

“Ah~!”

If you try to verify with ordinary items, it is natural to be treated as an ordinary ‘wallet verification’ [a superficial display of wealth].

“Is it expensive?”

Park Do-joon suddenly asked out of curiosity, but he couldn’t help but be shocked.

“This probably costs about 140 million won [approximately $105,000 USD].”

“Crazy!”

“Even if you have 140 million won, you can’t get this. To get this used, it’s at least 200 million won [approximately $150,000 USD].”

“No, how can a bag be more expensive used?”

“Production can’t keep up with consumption. This bag is thoroughly made to order, and I heard that reservations are booked for three years. Even that is because they don’t accept order reservations for more than three years, but if all orders are made, it will easily take 10 years. I also received this bag as a gift because my dad ordered it when I was fifteen, saying he would give it to me as an eighteenth birthday present.”

“I don’t think I can live like that.”

At those words, Jung Yi-yeon chuckled.

“Don’t worry. I won’t tell you to live like that. I’m not that interested in this kind of thing.”

“Then this?”

“Well, the fact that I’m not interested is different from the obligation to do such things.”

“It’s definitely different.”

Some may call it a waste of money, but in the world of the rich, the act of decorating oneself is an act of being incorporated into that world.

In a world where connections themselves are treasures, not decorating oneself is an act of lowering one’s value, and if one’s value is reduced, connections decrease, so for the rich, this luxury is sometimes an obligation.

“It would be better to post only a few brands that only a very small number of people know than dozens of ordinary luxury goods. After all, mediocre kids won’t even know what it is and will pass by, and only the real rich will recognize it and stick to it.”

Jung Yi-yeon looked at Park Do-joon, who was getting tired of it, and smiled as she grabbed Lee Ji-soo’s hand.

“I’ll make you look great today. Ah, where are you going to take the pictures?”

“Well, should I take them in the office?”

“Ehe. You really have no sense.”

“Sense?”

“You don’t use Telegram, do you?”

“I’m busy.”

“You analyze other things well, but you don’t know about that.”

Jung Yi-yeon chuckled and said.

“I’ll take the best pictures of Ji-soo today.”

Looking at Jung Yi-yeon, who seemed to be having fun, Lee Ji-soo couldn’t help but feel that she would be very tired today.

“No, what…… there’s so much in the picture.”

“I know.”

Park Do-joon had analyzed criminals and situations a lot, but he had never analyzed self-authentication like Telegram [a messaging app often used for discreet verification], so he had no choice but to stick out his tongue at the pictures this time.

“I’m surprised that you didn’t know this, senior?”

“What I’m good at is analyzing, not taking pictures.”

The picture that Lee Ji-soo took had the night view as the background from a high-rise building. The location was a place known only among the rich, and it was a restaurant where you had to match the dress code. There was a luxury bag on the table, a bracelet on the wrist, shoes slightly hidden under the table, and the height beyond the window specified this store depending on the angle, and finally, a picture of just a cup of coffee on the table.

“I understand everything else, but a cup of coffee.”

You shouldn’t post expensive things in authentication photos. Then it might look like you’re taking advantage of the opportunity to make money. So, you have to keep the purpose as simple as possible, so what you see there should be a cup of coffee.

“Anyway, it doesn’t seem like the wrong picture.”

As Park Do-joon said, Lee Ji-soo uploaded the picture to Cobrian with her face covered.

Then she set a condition.

Must have verifiable assets and a master’s degree or higher, or be a graduate student or higher.

And the appearance will be judged upon meeting.

“They’re eagerly biting at it.”

“Because they posted a picture that can be proven on this side.”

Jung Yi-yeon was right. The picture they put out was full of luxury goods that ordinary people couldn’t even access, and thanks to that, criminals and ordinary people were firmly believing that she was a daughter of a rich family who wanted good genes.

“Well, most of the authentication is a scam.”

Is it because they want to meet even once? Of course, there were many authentications claiming to prove themselves, but most of them were fake or articles without authentication in the form of meeting and talking first.

“But will they really get caught with this?”

“They will get caught.”

Of course, there is no evidence that the caught guy is the culprit. But at least there is a possibility of tracking that guy.

“Most of them…… well, I don’t think there’s any need to check.”

What they requested was excellent genes. But most of the so-called authentications that came in were boasting about their wealth.

“Pass those on. He’s probably not the culprit anyway.”

What they requested was intellectual ability, but proving money means that intellectual ability is lacking.

“So, I’m going to find someone who will show intellectual ability. For example…… this guy.”

Park Do-joon checked the authentication photos for a while and found something. A space that looks like a laboratory. And the appearance of a man in that space. His face is covered, but one thing was certain.

“He’s a researcher.”

The picture in the background. It was full of several research flasks. No matter how you look at it, what you see around it are things necessary for chemical research.

“At this point, he might even be handling potassium cyanide?”

“Probably.”

At this point, he can handle enough chemical substances such as poison.

“The nickname is…… wait a minute.”

Park Do-joon checked the data with the nickname. And it wasn’t difficult to check about the target from within.

“He’s rich.”

Luxurious house. Luxurious vehicle. And an atmosphere that seems to be playing in a club, etc. There were overflowing authentication articles that anyone could see were well-off.

In fact, there were so many guys who licked and sucked him to look good to him.

“He’s a so-called named [a user with a reputation or following] on the platform.”

There are places in each internet site where there are people who are called named, who have a certain degree of recognition.

And the culprit was one of those named.

“Is it this guy?”

“We have to check.”

If you don’t know the nickname, you don’t know, but if you know the nickname, tracking is not difficult. Because guys who are full of confidence in revealing themselves do not try to change or hide their nicknames, it is not difficult to track the target.

Park Do-joon naturally went into Cobrian, checked the articles written with the nickname, and started reading them one by one.

“I can’t ignore the possibility that it’s this guy.”

“Really?”

“Yeah. He’s incredibly hostile to poor people.”

You can feel pride in being rich. And wanting to show it off is, in a way, too natural.

“But every article this guy writes has a similar tone.”

Poor guys are less than trash. They’re parasites. The country will develop if these guys die…….

“He even publicly wrote that poor guys should be culled.”

“Culling?”

“It means he doesn’t even see the target as a person.”

The choice of words when calling a person has a very large impact on how that person sees the target.

For example, if you call a woman by the name of someone’s mother, it means that the target is a person whose social relationship is not work or anything like that, but a motherly relationship, and also means that the target sees the target as a mother more than as an individual.

Conversely, calling someone Mr. or Ms. means that the relationship is more public than personal, or that the relationship is not close.

“But saying that you’re going to cull people means that you can’t even recognize the target as a person at all.”

What is culling? It means killing and disposing of the target, that is, getting rid of it.

“No matter what crazy bastards say on the internet. They usually talk about killing or murdering, but they don’t say culling.”

Because, at least in their eyes, the target looks like a person.
