My Calling Is Profiler [EN]: Chapter 645

What do I care if cookie companies go bankrupt? In six months, everyone will forget and start eating them again.

The problem was Park Do-joon.

‘I knew it…’

The problem was there was no room for negotiation. If he had decisive evidence, he would never give it to the police. Another profiler said that, judging from Park Do-joon’s past behavior, he would leak it to the media instead of the police.

“There’s only one way.”

To kill Park Do-joon. The problem is, I’m not capable of that. Of course, there’s a team within the company that handles dirty work. But this place isn’t dirty enough to do that.

No, someone might even betray and turn themselves in to the police. And this is where Park Do-joon made a mistake.

“I need to meet Hong Woo-jong.”

“Yes? Who is that?”

“Don’t ask.”

What Park Do-joon didn’t know.

Was that Kang Gu-chan knew Hong Woo-jong.

And that variable changed a lot.

“Are you talking about Park Do-joon?”

“Yes, I want to get rid of him this time. Is it possible?”

Wang Woo-hwan’s heart sank at Hong Woo-jong’s words. The name Park Do-joon was a disgrace and an uncomfortable subject for him. But that name came out of Hong Woo-jong’s mouth.

“That bastard?”

“Yes, there’s someone who is uncomfortable with him. Even if it fails, we can just blame him.”

In fact, Hong Woo-jong wanted to kill Park Do-joon several times. But he didn’t get a chance. Originally, Park Do-joon was the target he was going to kill by disguising it as a bomb terror after killing his father.

But he was dumbfounded by the fact that that stupid bastard was targeting the American CIA and got caught. But he didn’t want to miss the opportunity when someone who could be blamed appeared.

“It won’t be easy.”

“But I think I’ll regret it if I leave him alive.”

Hong Woo-jong could sense it intuitively. Park Do-joon was incompatible with him. What was the reason he had been successful so far? He ruthlessly crushed anyone who he thought was in his way. And his intuition was telling him that if he didn’t do it now, there would be no chance.

“It’s not difficult, is it? Call some kids from China.”

“It’s difficult to get professional guys right now.”

“Why?”

“The organization collapsed as it disintegrated. Unless they can shoot a gun.”

“Guns are too dangerous.”

Even after blowing up his father with a bomb, there are more than one or two guys who suspect him. That accident gave him a big advantage.

Thanks to the stupid guys who thought he was pitiful, he was able to become a member of the National Assembly without any problems, but if the head of the guy who fought with him was blown off by a gun, they would suspect him even more.

“Damn it, should I have gotten rid of Hong Geun-jong first?”

It might have been better if he had done that. Then he might have been able to swallow the company. But now it’s too late to regret it.

“But there must be someone who works freelance, right?”

“It’s not that there aren’t any, but…”

“I’m not paying for it anyway. So call them.”

“It definitely won’t be cheap.”

“I don’t care.”

“Yes, Assemblyman.”

“And when will the next woman be ready?”

“I’ll prepare it soon.”

“Prepare it quickly. Your daughter is pretty.”

Wang Woo-hwan couldn’t help but tremble all over his body because he knew that meant he would torture and kill his daughter in front of him if things went wrong.

‘Somehow… if only my kids can get away.’

However, with Hong Woo-jong’s people already stationed around his family, he didn’t have many options.

“Something’s strange.”

“What is it?”

“The reaction is too slow.”

At this point, they should have approached him to try to cover it up through negotiations. But there’s no reaction?

“Maybe they’re trying to figure things out?”

“No. The reaction is strange for that too.”

Rather, the surveillance around him disappeared. He probably thought it wouldn’t be obvious, but Park Do-joon isn’t stupid enough not to notice the unusual signs around him.

“How about you? I told you about the characteristics of the watchers.”

“Yes, I secretly checked around. The guys who were there until recently disappeared.”

Watchers, especially professional watchers, never follow one person alone. They take turns to avoid suspicion. So Park Do-joon gave her some advice.

For example, go to the bathroom often. Watchers are usually men, and men can’t follow you into the women’s bathroom.

Therefore, in the case of women, it is easy to check the existence of a watcher by roughly remembering the people around them and then going to the women’s bathroom and coming out. Because the watcher has no choice but to leave the spot because they don’t know when the person will come out.

Another thing is to go to a completely different environment. Watchers usually wear two types of clothes. One is comfortable clothes. The other is semi-formal.

The guys who wear comfortable clothes are usually from places like private investigation agencies rather than companies. So it stands out when you go to a place where suits are the mainstream.

On the other hand, semi-formal clothes can easily blend in anywhere, so people belonging to companies that do that work professionally prefer them.

However, in most cases, those guys can’t help but stand out even more in places with flashy clothes like clubs.

“I went to a club for the first time in a while, and it was a mess at the entrance.”

“Looks like someone was trying to get in with money?”

“That’s right.”

They have to follow, but clubs have very strict so-called water quality control [stringent rules about who is allowed entry]. A pretty girl like Lee Ji-soo gets a free pass, but a man wearing clothes that don’t fit the club is naturally cut off.

Of course, they would accept you if you booked a table or room inside, but they wouldn’t accept guys who came in wearing semi-formal clothes and tried to get in by giving money, and eventually the security guards came and dragged them out.

“How did you know? That they would be weak in clubs?”

“Usually, surveillance targets are for political purposes. Of course, the guys who control the organization are also political. And those guys care a lot about uniform clothing and stuff.”

“Ah~ there is something like that.”

So when people think of agents, they think of a white shirt and a black suit.

“In fact, many companies are so influenced by that that they dress like that.”

“So they couldn’t respond properly.”

“Huh? No. Actually, that’s because they don’t know.”

“Don’t know?”

“Why do government organizations usually wear those clothes? That outfit is surprisingly easy to transform your image.”

“Yes?”

“A fixed image, on the other hand, completely changes the image the moment you get rid of it.”

For example, in the case of a black semi-formal suit that is usually worn in government organizations, in the case of men, taking off the jacket and folding up the sleeves reveals the advantage of appealing to health.

It appeals to the light rest of a healthy man after work.

In the case of women, if they take off their jackets, simply unbutton a few buttons on their chest, tighten the waist area a little more, and loosen their hair or change their lipstick to red, their decadent beauty naturally increases.

“With that kind of image, they probably could have gotten into the club without much difficulty.”

But they had never learned the strategy and tactics for that kind of outfit, so they tried to go in as they were wearing suits, so of course they had no choice but to be cut off.

“Because they’re not trained agents.”

If they were trained agents, they would try to transform their image by making the most of what they have at the necessary moment to carry out their mission, but they are office workers even if they do dirty work, not agents, so they don’t make such efforts.

“But those guys disappeared recently.”

“Did they give up?”

“There’s no way.”

There’s no way they’d give up. The rumor that Park Do-joon has evidence has already spread widely. In fact, some people from the police side even approached him and asked if he had any evidence.

Of course, Park Do-joon pretended not to know and insisted that he didn’t know.

“Looks like they’ve changed their route?”

“If they’re going to change their route?”

“That means they’re going to kill me. No, us.”

Lee Ji-soo’s face hardened at Park Do-joon’s words. But Park Do-joon just smiled.

“Well, it wasn’t impossible.”

“Then what should we do? Aren’t we in danger?”

“No. The one in danger isn’t us, but Kang Gu-chan.”

“Yes? Why?”

“Murderers want to kill, not get caught.”

“Then?”

“Then what’s the solution? Of course, they’ll be looking for a good opportunity, right?”

“That’s right?”

Approaching the vehicle and cutting the brakes is classic, but at the same time, the probability is low. In movies and dramas, they express the urgency by saying that the brakes don’t work on a hill, but in reality, most driving takes place in the city.

“So it’s realistically difficult to target our vehicle.”

Furthermore, Park Do-joon and Jung Yi-yeon are both police officers, so they pay a lot of attention to people entering and exiting the police station during the day.

“It’s impossible to come at night and cut the brakes.”

First of all, these days, when you start the engine, the software that automatically checks the vehicle identifies the broken parts of the vehicle, and city driving is actually at a predictable speed. Therefore, if there is a problem, it is not difficult to stop the vehicle even if you only hit a roadside tree.

“So they’ll prefer a direct method.”

“So they removed the watchers around them.”

“That’s right.”

Because they might get blamed if they were around. But they didn’t know they were already too late.

“Then what should we do?”

“What can we do? Those guys will definitely try to create an opportunity.”

Park Do-joon said confidently.

“And we’re the ones who are going to take advantage of that opportunity. Hehehe.”

“This is a bit unsettling.”

Team leader Jo Sang-gyu said worriedly while giving Park Do-joon the case assigned to him.

“It’s an assigned case according to the regulations, so it’s a bit unsettling.”

“But that means other guys will be waiting there, right?”

“That’s right.”

The scene was in a rural forest. The body found there had clear signs of homicide, and there was no doubt that someone had been killed and abandoned.

“But the fact that they’re asking you to do it…”

“Means they’re telling me to walk into a trap.”

“They’ll be targeting the way there. You know that, right?”

“Yes.”

The scene is already being monitored by the police, and there are police officers everywhere. As such, it is impossible to kill them at the scene.

“We won’t be standing in the middle either, so there’s a high possibility that they’ll use a vehicle to push us away.”

Park Do-joon said while looking at the map.

“Will that be possible?”

“Yes. Direct attacks are somewhat risky for them. Furthermore, we’re both police officers.”

Of course, they have guns and it is risky to attack directly.

“It’s also difficult to use poison because we don’t know where or how we eat.”

Rather, if that goes wrong, they might kill the wrong person and be tracked down, so they’ll be reluctant to do that. In fact, violent organizations rarely use poison.

“The best way is to push us away using a vehicle.”

If they use a suitable vehicle, they can push it away with power, and it’s not that difficult to steal such a vehicle. After that, if they dispose of the vehicle and run away, it’s realistically difficult to track down the culprit.

“Ha… how did this happen…”

Jo Sang-gyu sighed even while talking. Because this order came from above. Of course, the higher-ups probably don’t really think they’re going to kill Park Do-joon and Lee Ji-soo.
