My Calling Is Profiler [EN]: Chapter 638

However, the word ‘culling’ is usually used for animals, not people. Using such a word publicly indicates extreme anger towards the target.

“Hmm, so he could definitely be the culprit?”

“Yes. The possibility of him being the culprit increases.”

The problem is how to turn that possibility into certainty. It’s true that he’s showing a much stronger aversion than others, but is that illegal? No, it’s not.

“Although we’ve identified an individual, there’s no evidence that he’s the culprit…”

This means it’s impossible to start a full-scale investigation into this person.

“Hmm, should we provoke him further?”

“Provoke him? More than this?”

“Yes, but I don’t think this is something I can decide.”

To provoke him to that extent, we need approval from above.

“Looks like I need to talk to the higher-ups?”

“What? You’re going to leak information?”

The team leader in charge of the special investigation headquarters was horrified by Park Do-joon’s words.

“It’s not so much leaking information as it is slightly revealing facts related to it. Not announcing it to the media or the public.”

“Isn’t that the same thing?”

“No, it’s not the same thing. What we’re trying to disclose is through Cobrian.”

“Through Cobrian?”

“Yes.”

“What does that mean? Cobrian? What are you going to disclose through those crazy bastards?”

“We’re going to actively emphasize that the victim is a poor person.”

People still think this is a ‘random killing’; there’s no awareness that it’s terrorism against the poor. So, most sites just have a scary atmosphere, and there’s no information about the victim being poor at all.

In reality, they are commoners, not really poor people.

“And currently, Cobrian hasn’t said anything about the incident at all.”

They live in extreme self-delusion. Of course, they don’t know what they’re doing, and they don’t know how the world is turning.

“So, we’re thinking of leaking fake information to them that the victim of this incident is a poor person.”

“Fake information?”

“As I said, the victims in this case aren’t really that poor.”

They may be commoners, but not at the level of poverty that people generally talk about. However, according to Cobrian standards, commoners are treated as poor parasites.

“You’re going to disclose that?”

“Yes, of course, not as the police, but as if ordinary people are talking about it.”

“Why? Why are you trying to talk about it? There’s no point in it being on the news.”

“It’s to stimulate their hero complex. And will that even make the news? The reporters know how crazy Cobrian is, don’t they?”

“I guess.”

The police also know that it’s a gathering place for crazy people, and the reporters who are snooping around looking for news stories know that Cobrian is a trash can.

“They probably won’t even look at it.”

There are tons of guys who call anyone earning less than 1 billion won [approximately $750,000 USD] a year a parasite, but they’re all fake accounts, so which reporters would believe the data coming from there?

However, even for Park Do-joon, disclosing some of the investigation data on the internet was not something he could decide on his own.

“So, even if we leak information, there will be no impact from it?”

“No, there won’t be any at all.”

“But what about the hero complex? I don’t understand?”

“If things go as expected, the culprit is committing terrorism out of hatred for the poor. But he can’t tell anyone about it. How do you think he feels?”

“Hmm…”

“He’ll want to brag. And on the other hand, he’ll be curious about the results. Due to the nature of the incident’s development, he won’t be able to check the results himself.”

“You think he’ll approach us if we leak information like that?”

“Yes, he’ll approach us. He’ll want to be sure of himself.”

“Sure?”

“Yes.”

What sets terrorists apart from other murderers is their conviction in the justification of their crimes.

“Other murderers don’t have that conviction.”

Even the guys who kill for money know it’s not justified. So do the guys who kill out of resentment. Every year, countless murders occur around the world, but there are only two types of guys who claim justification for murder.

“First, there are cases where they think the target is an atrocious criminal, so they think they are justified in killing them.”

In fact, there have been such cases. In foreign countries, there were criminals who only killed sex offenders, people who went around killing child sex offenders, and people who killed corrupt politicians.

“And they were confident.”

Because, regardless of their social position, they are convinced that their murder is the right thing to do.

“In fact, regardless of whether they are punished or not, they often have considerable public support.”

“What’s the other one?”

“Terrorism.”

The only difference is that while the punishment of criminals has public support [in the first case], terrorism does not.

“Terrorism is fundamentally impossible to carry out the moment you realize it’s wrong.”

“Hmm.”

“The problem is… that terrorism is basically closer to the concept of showing your beliefs to the outside world.”

“Right?”

“But the culprit can’t do that.”

Of course. If he says, ‘I’m the culprit,’ somewhere, he’ll be caught right away.

“So, he’ll want to appeal his existence. So, we’re stimulating that.”

“Hmm.”

At those words, the person in charge looked a little unconvinced. Park Do-joon explained it to him more simply.

“In simple terms, if we poke him a little, he’ll blabber on his own.”

“Poke him a little?”

“Yes, of course, he won’t really say he killed someone or anything like that.”

But he’ll excitedly talk about why they had to die and why they deserved to die.

“But that’s not illegal, is it?”

“It’s not illegal. But if he talks about something no one else knows, he becomes a target for tracking.”

“Ah!”

It’s not difficult to process information and subtly deceive the other person. To others, it’s a trivial difference, but the guys who want to brag about themselves boast an instinct they don’t even know they have to correct it.

“In fact, how many times has that happened in tank games?”

“Tank games?”

“Yes, that’s why the whole world went crazy.”

“There’s a game where you drive a tank and destroy your opponent, and it’s rumored to have great realism. But some people kept insisting that it wasn’t realistic, and some of them revealed top-secret information they knew on the internet, claiming, ‘Look at this. The tank implementation in the game is wrong.'”

“An ordinary person wouldn’t do that.”

But because they want to appeal to themselves and show their presence, they ridiculously upload military security facts.

“A guy who is confident enough to commit terrorism will want to talk about it.”

And if he makes even a small mistake, we can get a warrant.

“But how are you going to approach him? You’re not just going to praise him, are you?”

“Of course not?”

Park Do-joon smiled.

“Dealing with him is not difficult. So, don’t worry. Hehehe.”

Some time later, Park Do-joon posted on Cobrian. Of course, the account was a fake account certified by Lee Ji-soo. Since the culprit is interested in this side, it’s obvious that he’ll try to access that account. He’s already been sending messages asking to have a meal sometime.

-The guys who died this time were poor, so it seems like they died well. Parasite bastards. They seemed to have died well after parasitizing the world.

“Ugh, it’s not like I’m writing it under my name, but it’s a really unpleasant post.”

Lee Ji-soo said with an uncomfortable look.

“That’s how this world is. Think of it as an undercover investigation.”

“Still… Sigh.”

Lee Ji-soo said that and looked at the screen. And at Lee Ji-soo’s words, comments started pouring in like crazy.

“Why are they so fast?”

Other posts take at least 10 minutes to get a comment, but in less than 5 minutes, there are more than 10 comments.

“You certified that you’re a woman. Plus, you look like a huge rich person, so there’s no way they wouldn’t be interested.”

Probably in their heads, they’re thinking that if they just seduce you, their lives will change.

“It’s disgusting.”

“There are places like that.”

“By the way, that guy isn’t coming?”

“Wait a minute. It’s not a site with an alert function.”

It’s not a site that immediately notifies you when someone posts, so it may take a long time to check the post and leave a comment.

“Let’s do something else for now.”

While doing other paperwork… how much time had passed, finally a comment was posted.

-Are those bastards really beggars?

“Huh?”

A question with a question mark. It was a different question than expected.

“What is it? I thought he would brag.”

“It’s not that stage yet.”

“Yes?”

“The culprit committed a random terror. Information about the victim wasn’t released through the media.”

“Ah!”

Of course, the culprit doesn’t know about the victim. So, there’s no way he can be sure.

“But he’s different from the other guys, right?”

“Yes, he’s definitely different.”

“Why do you think that difference is there?”

“I don’t know?”

“You already know the answer, but you want to confirm it. The purpose isn’t you, it’s the case.”

Other people are fawning over Lee Ji-soo, no, the beautiful woman who certified there.

“Because the purpose is this certified woman.”

So, there’s no reason to be interested in the case.

In fact, the other comments are…

-The beggar bastards died well.

-I feel refreshed that the parasites died.

…most of them were responding to the post.

“Certification or facts aren’t important in a place like this.”

Just because an anonymous woman wrote such a post doesn’t mean he’ll ask her, ‘Is that a fact?’ Why? Because that’s not what’s important.

“If that’s important to him, he’s the one who’s curious about the case.”

“That’s right.”

And now the suspect has taken it as is and swallowed it whole.

“Comment and say you heard it from your dad.”

“Yes.”

Lee Ji-soo immediately left a comment. Then, unlike before, comments were posted much faster.

-How did your father know that?

-Is your father a high-ranking police official?

-Ah, is that so? But did he say they were beggars?

-Yes. He said all the victims were desperately poor.

-What did he say?

-The first victim was a basic livelihood recipient or something?

-What about the other victims?

As they continued the conversation, Lee Ji-soo’s face was gradually hardening. Because there are criminals of this type. They act like a third party, investigating the case and investigating how much the police know.

They usually do this when they are near a criminal investigation and are curious about how their tracking is progressing or where the direction of the crime is heading.

“I think he’s the culprit.”

“Right?”

If he’s not the culprit, he should be interested in the anonymous woman.

Even though she didn’t reveal her face while certifying, she sufficiently certified her wealth and body. If he’s an ordinary man, she can’t help but be the object of his attention.

“But the human who was courting me at first doesn’t seem interested in me anymore.”

“What he’s really curious about isn’t about the woman, it’s about the case.”

That’s why, despite the opportunity to have a 1:1 conversation, unlike the other guys, he kept asking questions about the case.
