Episode 57

After the last murder, the criminal did not move for a while, as if he was aware of the tighter investigation net.

But it is not giving up or going into hiding, it is just taking a breather to look for the next opportunity.

Detective Choi Tae-jin stepped up his investigation and searched the campus like a madman.

So we’ve passed on all the information we’ve found out so far in the hopes that it’ll be of some help.

In particular, he repeatedly emphasized that the criminal’s X-shaped murder symbol had been discovered in the past.

“Brother, have you not heard from there yet?”

“Yes. He’s ignoring the radio.”

“This is too much, really.”

However, detective Choi Tae-jin ignored all of this, citing a lack of evidence and credibility, and continued the investigation in his own way.

Of course, I have my limits in patience, so I started getting angry at this uncooperative attitude.

“Is that the detective story?”

“Do you know, sister?”

At that moment, my older sister, who had been quietly listening to the story next to me, frowned and complained.

“I’m telling you, I’m really bored. You keep coming here every day to investigate and it’s so annoying. You’re all just watching what the detectives think and you’re on edge.”

The key point that Detective Choi Tae-jin chose in this case was the formalin drug.

First of all, they started investigating by suspecting everyone who could obtain formalin.

Actually, that was the correct answer.

It is common sense to expand the investigative net based on key evidence once it has emerged.

But the target happened to be Korean university students who were the initial refugees in the shelter.

This completely ignores the timing of the appearance of the X symbol we provided.

“I don’t understand Captain Kang either. Why are you assigning a case to a guy like that?”

“They are conscious of the public’s eyes. They themselves have not been able to respond properly until now.”

Naturally, there was no progress in the investigation, and the students of the College of Natural Sciences became increasingly dissatisfied.

How long will this situation last?

All we could do was continue our investigation into the hideout we had been doing.

“Are you going out today too?”

“Yeah, Noona is at the dorm with Yebin. I think it would be best for you not to go out for a while.”

We’ve only just completed a third of the survey, so we need to work hard to fill in the rest.

After a light breakfast, we packed our bags and gear and headed out.

CLANG!

“Big brother!”

But at that moment, Seongcheol, who had been heading to the vinyl house in the early morning, came running out of breath.

“Mr. Seongcheol? Why at this hour… … .”

“The culprit! The murderer has been caught!”

The culprit was caught? We were so shocked that we ran outside without saying a word.

The campus, which had been quiet until just a moment ago, was now teeming with people.

Everyone began to surround the road, murmuring and murmuring, curious to see the culprit’s face.

“Get out of here!”

“Everyone, stand back!”

A moment later, a man was dragged in, bound and accompanied by armed soldiers.

Then, as if they had been waiting, people started throwing trash and swearing at each other.

“Hey you piece of trash!”

“Kill him! Kill him now!”

Now I’m trying to live like a human being, but some murderous bastard shows up and muddies the waters of the shelter.

People criticized the man as if expressing all the anxiety they had been building up.

“I, I’m not! I really am not! Hey, guys! You know me? I didn’t kill him! I just moved him because he was just scrap!”

However, the man identified as the culprit cried and complained about the injustice.

I was watching the scene from the side and cautiously asked Seongcheol.

“Who are you?”

“I’m a teaching assistant who’s a returning student in the chemistry department. I think there was a record of him spewing formalin a week ago. Damn, he’s not the type to do that… … .”

He is 180cm tall and has a body that easily weighs three figures.

His hair was unkempt and his body emanated an unpleasant odor of sweat.

That guy is the culprit? Nothing matches the testimony except his height.

I felt a sudden surge of irritation at the handling of a matter that I did not like at all.

“Brother, this… … .”

“I think you made a mistake over there. Let’s go back and guard the entrance to the inn for a while.”

It will soon be revealed that the returning student teaching assistant is not the culprit.

The problem was that while Detective Choi Tae-jin continued to kick shit balls, there were still more victims.

It’s out of our hands.

Now we have to wait for a new version.

“Let’s go.”

My companions and I hurried back to our lodgings through the angry crowd.

* * *

That night, a heavy snowstorm blew down as if God was playing a trick on us.

After such a cruel night, morning came,

‘Gyaaaah!’

The twenty-fourth body was found in the school art gallery, less than 200 meters from the main gate.

‘Mr. Daesu.’

Captain Kang came to the accommodation in person.

The time when we had to stand back and talk about being experts or something like that is long gone.

If the situation has reached this level of catastrophe, then we must now mobilize all available means.

I took off the tiresome ‘advisor’ label and stormed into the main campus building with Captain Kang.

“This way.”

First, we checked the victim’s body that was said to have been found in the campus art museum.

This time, too, the X symbol engraved on his right hand is, of course, his doing.

‘It’s elaborate.’

But what’s different from last time is that we’re nearing completion on a technical level.

Of course, it was so unpleasant that I was hesitant to call it a technique.

Because humans were taken apart and then reassembled.

It was as if the bastard wanted to show that his killing skills had reached the peak.

After examining the entire body for about ten minutes, I was able to reach one conclusion.

“I don’t have much time.”

“yes?”

“It looks like he’s starting to feel satisfied.”

If murder is an art to the criminal, the people in this shelter are both material and audience.

He has already completed numerous works and has now even displayed them in art galleries.

This seemed to indicate that he was satisfied with himself and was signaling that he was ready to leave.

“… … How much is left?”

“Even if you take it easy, once. No, maybe they’ve already finished preparing to leave.”

It’s not a problem to be happy about if he leaves. It means that in the end, you can’t catch him.

The soldiers, who had not been able to face the faces of the bereaved families, had stiff expressions on their faces.

bang!

“What are you doing!”

But at that moment, the closed door opened hastily and detective Choi Tae-jin came inside.

His eyes were bloodshot and red from having stayed up all night, and his face was also pale.

“Who told you to investigate the scene as you please? I clearly told you to wait!”

It was they who arrived late at the scene, interrogating the innocent suspect until dawn.

But instead of showing any sign of apology, he raised his voice in a reckless manner.

The soldier who had been busy preserving the scene and controlling people since morning has a look on his face like he’d chewed shit.

Captain Kang, unable to bear it any longer, took off the beret he was wearing and informed him.

“Detective Choi, I don’t think it’ll work out. Let’s try changing our investigation method this time.”

“What does that mean?”

At the suggestion of changing the investigative method, Detective Choi Tae-jin looks at me with a twinkle in his eye.

“You’re not going to leave it to this guy?”

“That’s not important right now.”

“No, Captain Kang! Is this investigation a joke? Who the hell handles things this way! I’m not the one just sitting there doing nothing!”

He desperately poured out his grievances and complaints, as if his pride had been cracked.

“I have to tell you several times that this kind of interference only causes confusion! This kind of work is all about trial and error! Why on earth would someone who knows the truth do this!”

“Did you just say trial and error?”

But this time, the line was crossed.

Captain Kang, who had been trying to be as polite as possible, turned pale.

The mood among the soldiers begins to become tense as the atmosphere seems like it could explode at any moment.

“Detective Choi.”

But I happened to show up at that moment and separated the two of them to sort out the situation.

“Where is the material I gave you earlier?”

“What?”

“I told you in detail about the time when the X symbol appeared and Sergeant Park’s testimony.”

“that…….”

“Yes, I know. Of course you don’t know. You probably haven’t even read it. But was it that hard to read that one?”

It’s obvious. You probably thought it was some ignorant idiot who kept making a lot of noise.

But it’s a matter of human lives.

If there was even the slightest urgency, it should have been properly checked rather than ignored.

At first, I tried to be respectful and make concessions, but now I’m starting to reach the limit of my patience.

“Detective, trial and error is a word. It’s not something you use when you experience something twice or three times. That’s just failure.”

You have failed now. I have told you the reality that no one else could.

“You, you fucking punk! I just said it!”

“Would you like more?”

The shame that had been ignored and hidden for so long was now exposed to the public.

Detective Choi Tae-jin grabbed me by the collar, his face turning red.

thud!

“Mr. Daesu!”

And then he didn’t stop there, he impulsively pushed me against the wall and tried to hit me in the face.

widely!

Then, as if I had been waiting, I grabbed his right arm and quickly pulled it back.

“Kwaaaaak!”

Crack! Detective Choi Tae-jin lets out a terrible scream along with the sound of his joints twisting.

“Go out and do your thing. I’ll do my thing. And please, behave yourself before I rip your mouth open.”

I barely resisted the urge to tear my shoulder out and gave the bastard one last warning.

Then, detective Choi Tae-jin met their eyes and clenched his teeth and fluttered his eyelids.

Gulp!

A tense standoff ensues.

In the end, the first one to avoid eye contact was detective Choi Tae-jin, who swallowed hard.

bang!

As soon as I let go of his right arm, he ran out the door in a hurry.

The atmosphere is getting quieter.

I let out a sigh and looked around.

“Come together.”

At that moment, all the soldiers present gathered together in unison, each with a determined look on their face.

Everyone looked relieved, almost relieved, as if they had suffered for quite some time.

“Shall we prepare to search?”

“No, then I’ll run away.”

Although the criminal appears bold, he is extremely averse to having his position revealed.

Since I am already satisfied with myself, I will not take the risk of revealing myself.

The search is pointless.

So should we wait for the next incident?

No, this is also a very uncertain probability.

In the end, when I was stuck in a situation where I couldn’t do anything, this was the only way.

“Let’s make a new plate.”

If he has lost his purpose to continue killing, we can just create one for him.

A good idea suddenly occurred to me, so I asked Sergeant Jang, who was well-versed in the outside world.

“Could you please bring me a few infected corpses? If possible, ones that look healthy.”

“Yes, that’s no problem. But why are you doing that?”

Suddenly, they asked me to rescue the corpses of infected people? The soldiers looked at me with puzzled faces.

But I took off the hat I was wearing as if I had thought about everything and laughed quietly.

“We will create copycats.”

When do sadistic psychopathic killers feel the most anger?

I thought I’d show you the answer now.
