My Calling Is Profiler [EN]: Chapter 691

“But people who are psychologically subdued like that are easily exploited for minor crimes.”

Once their psychological resistance is broken, entering a company or society makes escape nearly impossible.

They can endure school because they know it will end someday, but a company is different.

“Besides, it’s not easy to change jobs.”

“I guess that’s true.”

Their livelihood is at stake. And once the shield of being a student disappears, even their family demands responsibility instead of offering protection.

Instead of saying, ‘It’s tough, so move on,’ they start demanding responsibility, saying, ‘That’s how adult life is. Why are you so lacking in perseverance?’

“And a subordinate type of person starts to be controlled by criminals in that situation.”

They don’t know how to resist, and they can’t run away. So, there’s only one way to survive: be loyal to those in power.

“That’s rough.”

Many people say that doesn’t make sense, but there are countless people who end up on the path of criminals in that way.

Even people dragged into being child soldiers overseas go through that process, becoming monsters who kill their entire family and drag boys into being soldiers.

“Then this person too?”

“Yes, if someone has been tormented by bullies their whole life, how would they react when the same type of person appears?”

“They would immediately submit and do as they’re told, right?”

“Probably.”

Of course, they’ll know it’s a crime. But they’ll commit the crime to survive. In reality, less than 30% of people resist when pressure is applied from above and they are forced to commit crimes.

“Certainly, someone like that would have weak resistance.”

“Right. Because they have no defense.”

And there’s no easier prey than that.

“Shall we shake things up a bit? Hehehe.”

Jeong Han-soo couldn’t hide his anxiety. He had lived a perfectly controlled life. But suddenly, he was completely abandoned. And Jeong Han-soo was confused and couldn’t accept this freedom, or rather, this abandonment.

Of course, it wasn’t the first time he had been alone. But even though someone could come in and yell at any moment, he had been left alone for twelve hours, so his anxiety only deepened because he couldn’t understand the situation.

Of course, all of this was Park Do-joon’s plan. He wanted Jeong Han-soo to feel even more confused by doing so.

Interrogation is psychological pressure. There are guys who don’t even flinch no matter how much you yell, while conversely, there are guys who feel anxious from the silence itself.

Finally, after fourteen hours, Park Do-joon stepped in.

Bang!

Park Do-joon burst into the room, practically smashing the door.

He plopped down in his seat and said, as if annoyed.

“Spit it out.”

“Pardon?”

“Spit it out, you bastard.”

He knows that this type is weak against authority figures, especially those who strongly assert their power. Negotiation or persuasion is ineffective on these types. Knowing that, Park Do-joon pushed him to the edge, just short of causing a problem.

“Spit out what?”

“What? What? Ha, this bastard!”

Bang!

Park Do-joon slammed the table hard.

“The missing people! The people you buried!”

“No, what are you talking about? I don’t know.”

“Don’t know my ass. What did I say when I arrested you? I said you were a kidnapping suspect, you moron!”

“I don’t know.”

“Bullshit! Hey, do you think I look like an idiot to you right now? Huh? Do I look like an idiot?”

As Park Do-joon aggressively pressed him, Jeong Han-soo felt suffocated. He felt the same feeling from Park Do-joon as those who had dominated him in the past.

‘This isn’t right?’

There’s a saying that a person who is frightened by a soft-shelled turtle is frightened by a pot lid [meaning a person who is easily scared remains scared]. Once you’re psychologically subdued, you’ll have the same reaction when a similar situation arises.

“No, it’s not that……”

“It’s not what!”

Park Do-joon relentlessly pushed Jeong Han-soo. And there was a trap inside.

‘The warrant is for kidnapping, but I didn’t tell him the victim’s name.’

As Park Do-joon expected, a warrant for the vehicle owner came out. And when executing it, Park Do-joon subtly told them to omit the vehicle owner’s name.

That’s why Jeong Han-soo and his gang know the charges but don’t recognize the victim. That’s why it wasn’t impossible to pressure him about other victims.

“That man and those women! You guys killed them all and buried them. Do you think I don’t know!”

Jeong Han-soo’s face hardened at those words. Then he started to get confused.

‘Probably.’

This type is afraid to make their own judgments. They don’t want to be responsible for the future that arises from making a judgment.

‘But right now, there’s no one to make the decision for them.’

This isn’t just a matter of exercising the right to remain silent. Why don’t these types want to be responsible for their decisions?

Simply because they’re scared? No. These types fundamentally lack the ability to judge the ripple effect. They don’t understand that making a decision A can lead to situation B and then situation C, so that itself is an unknown possibility, and that unknown possibility itself becomes frightening.

In fact, subordinate personalities prefer to work from below because of such unknown possibilities, rather than wanting to move up.

“I, I don’t know. I really don’t know.”

Of course, Jeong Han-soo initially maintained his ignorance. And Park Do-joon knew that too. Nevertheless, Park Do-joon targeted him not because he wanted him to tell the truth.

‘Because they lack the ability to judge the future, they make mistakes.’

And if you accurately catch those mistakes, proving their guilt is not difficult.

“Don’t know my ass? You killed them! What a liar.”

“I’m telling you, I don’t know.”

“Funny. Do you think only one or two people saw you guys moving around with those people?”

“No, I really don’t know where those people went.”

‘Bingo.’

Clearly, the warrant only mentioned ‘that person,’ the owner of the vehicle. But Jeong Han-soo, in his haste, said ‘those people.’ Of course, Park Do-joon didn’t pounce on it right away. A mistake is like a button; once it starts to go wrong, it connects endlessly.

“Don’t lie. I know you guys are picking up people in Suwon. I also know you’re using a site to lure women.”

“No, it’s not like that. I don’t know.”

“Ridiculous. Do you think we won’t get information just because the site is overseas?”

“That……”

“I know how you guys operate, you punk.”

Park Do-joon slowly brought up the story about the site. And Jeong Han-soo was at a loss.

‘Probably.’

If he only knew that the vehicle owner was the problem, he should have reacted with ‘Site? What site?’ But that wasn’t the case, so Jeong Han-soo seemed at a loss.

‘It seems like they’re actually using the site.’

The answer was already out, from the point of view that he was not denying it but was worried about what to say.

That’s why Park Do-joon’s pressure grew stronger and stronger.

Because Jeong Han-soo is the type to make mistakes when the pressure is high.

Bang!

“You bastard, you were good at pretending to have money, huh? But you’re just a beggar.”

“No, when did I ever pretend to have money……”

“Probably. You wouldn’t have pretended to have money. How could a guy like you pretend to have money? Song Do-jong knows that.”

Jeong Han-soo’s eyes widened slightly at those words. Park Do-joon said to such Jeong Han-soo very naturally.

“Hey, do you think cell phones don’t have IPs [Internet Protocol addresses]? Huh? Do you think we can’t find out whose cell phone it is if we check it?”

“That……”

“Guys like you pick up what others drop in the back, so you don’t know the ways of the world and just get dragged around.”

“……”

“Judging by your appearance, you’re probably last in the rape order, right? And you’ll be the one doing the burying. Isn’t that right?”

“No!”

“It’s not what! If we take out the bodies and examine them, whose DNA do you think will come out the most, you moron?”

“No!”

Finally, he switched from honorifics to informal speech. That means he was starting to break down internally. So, what should we do here? Be polite? No.

Bang!

“You bastard! Who are you talking informally to! Huh! Do you think this is your living room! Is this guy crazy!”

Speaking informally is an unconscious expression of wanting to dominate the other person.

That’s why if you back down here, the other side will attack even more severely.

“This bastard is completely out of his mind! Did your parents teach you that way? Huh? Well, if your parents had taught you properly, you wouldn’t be committing murder. Your child is a moron, so your parents must be morons too.”

If this is revealed later, Park Do-joon would probably face disciplinary action for the level of his remarks.

But the reason Park Do-joon said that was simple.

It was to break down Jeong Han-soo, who had already begun to collapse, even more strongly.

“No! That’s not it!”

“It’s not what. When you killed those women, did you think you were protecting the world’s justice? You know that’s not true, right? You’re just a moron. You just fill your sexual desires by killing weak women and think you’re cleaning up the world.”

“No, I……!”

“Because you’re just that kind of bastard, you probably got beat up when you were in school.”

Park Do-joon sneered.

And at some point, Jeong Han-soo became silent.

‘He’s broken.’

When extreme anger erodes the ego, people lose their words. And in that situation, a little stimulation will cause them to explode.

“So, do you like cleaning up alone after everyone else is done? Huh? A guy who couldn’t even look the people begging for their lives in the eye?”

“You son of a bitch!”

Jeong Han-soo suddenly lunged forward and grabbed Park Do-joon by the collar.

“What do you know! What do you know!”

Even subordinate criminals have pride. They just can’t resist because of fear. But when they know that the target can’t resist them, they become cruel too.

That’s why Jeong Han-soo was able to kill the victims.

‘And I look similar to the abusers in the past.’

Park Do-joon didn’t just continue to make dangerous provocations to pressure the other person. There are no guys who would be intimidated and spill everything just by being pressured like that.

However, if the other person feels the same as the bullies or criminals who pressured them in the past, fear will arise in one corner of their mind, and they will identify with them.

The problem is that Park Do-joon is a police officer, so he can never harm Jeong Han-soo. He can’t hit him either. Even cursing or treating him like he’s not human like now is ultimately grounds for disciplinary action.
