Became a Dark Merchant in the Academy - Chapter 247



246 – Backboard_9

“You want to take me? What qualifications do you have?”

When I told Cheon Yoo-seong that I would take Han Sang-ik and Rob, whose mask had not yet been removed, namely Yeon Eun-ryeong, he argued with me as if it was nonsense.

It seemed like he didn’t want to let go of the criminal he had caught.

If not, it could be because I was the one who said those things.

“On official duty. Please step down.”

But the police in charge of this area had already long ago become the puppets of the drug trade.

The hero in charge of this area, Licht, was sent far away and killed, and the hero who came in as his successor was swallowed up a long time ago.

Therefore, unless the government sensed something was wrong and stepped down, it was safe to assume that the public power in this area was mine.

The police officer who came up with me stood between me and Cheon Yu-seong, blocking me, and handed me the documents he had prepared in advance.

“It’s okay to say it, but read it.”

At my words, Cheon Yu-seong snatched the document away and read it.

And then, not long after, he made a face that said, “That’s ridiculous.”

“What is this… Then why haven’t you come forward until now…”

“Yes. The student council was cooperating with the police on this incident.”

“I didn’t see any signs of that.”

“We’re investigating, but we can’t just go around saying we’re investigating. What if the criminals notice and run away?”

That’s a lie.

This is just a made-up excuse to blow this thing up.

“Instead, I’ll thank you for your efforts. Of course, I’m not just going to wipe my mouth. You’ll receive a commendation later.”

“Do you think I did this just to get a commendation or something?”

“No, I know that. I’d like to give you something better, but if you’re going to settle a fight while you’re still a cadet, a commendation is about all I can give you. Or, if you want money instead of a commendation, I could exchange it for that.”

“you…”

Let’s tease him a little, Cheon Yoo-seong’s body trembled.

“Anyway, from now on, it’s my business. You can step back.”

“Yes. This is the job.”

Yukina also seemed to like this kind of play, as she added a teasing comment.

Cheon Yoo-seong glared at me as if I was dumbfounded.

“Oh, I’ll take this back. It’s important. Please take care of it.”

I retrieved the documents from that crazy person and motioned to the Shinwha Guild members and the police to have some go upstairs and some go retrieve Han Sang-ik and Yeon Eun-ryeong.

“for a moment.”

It was around that time.

Isiah approached me with a puzzled look on her face.

“Can I see that document?”

It seemed like he wanted to verify the authenticity of this document.

“of course.”

Everything else may just be excuses though.

This much was authentic and of recognized validity.

Since it wasn’t a problem, I handed the documents over to Isiah.

After receiving the documents, Isiah read them carefully as if checking for any problems.

It seemed like he had tried hard up until now, and was upset that the person he liked was being teased, so he wanted to say something to me.

“Hmm…”

But it seems like you can’t find errors in reality.

Isiah crumpled the paper for a moment and then handed it over to me.

“Do you think I lied?”

“No, I just wondered what kind of document it was.”

“okay?”

“Yeah, okay.”

A smiling expression turned towards me.

I also smiled slightly at Ishia.

“I see.”

Yukina’s teasing words echoed again.

And so the incident came to a close.

Now it was time to start adding some lies.

**

“So I ask you again. Why did you kidnap Ms. Lee Yoon-ah?”

In the interrogation room, Han Sang-ik felt extremely wronged.

He kidnapped Lee Yoon-ah.

Does that make any sense?

“I… didn’t do it. I’ve told you this many times, but this is a false accusation.”

“The evidence is so clear. How long are you going to lie? You kidnapped her, right?”

But the detective sitting across from me seemed to think that was nonsense.

He glared at Han Sang-ik while pounding the desk between them.

“It’s true. I never kidnapped Yuna. If I had kidnapped her in the first place, I wouldn’t have reported it!”

“It must have been to confuse the investigation.”

“Huh? What is that…”

“After investigating, I found out that the missing person was involved in a backdoor bulletin board or something, and they were spreading ridiculous rumors and interfering with the investigation.”

“You’re saying that’s a ridiculous rumor? It’s true. There is a back message board.”

I saw it clearly with these two eyes.

The back bulletin board exists.

And on that bulletin board, there are crimes that are hard to put into words…

“We’re not communicating.”

The detective sighed deeply.

I turned the laptop that was on the desk towards Han Sang-ik.

“The evidence is all here. How long are you going to keep talking nonsense?”

There were several pictures displayed on the laptop monitor.

Bottles of medicine whose English is unknown, a page from a notebook filled with base desires, perhaps marked in red as if to mark the path.

“What is this?”

“Since it came from your room, you should know better.”

Now that I think about it, the background in these photos looks so familiar.

“what…”

I didn’t understand.

I don’t understand English.

They came out of their own room.

Those things were never his.

Han Sang-ik realized that something was going strangely wrong.

“Wait a minute. What is this…”

“He confessed his love to his childhood friend, Lee Yoon-ya, but was rejected. He held a grudge against her and committed the crime.”

Regardless, the detective continued to talk as if Han Sang-ik’s words were not worth listening to.

“wait a minute.”

“The item of crime, the motive for the crime, the route of the crime. This was a planned crime. Right?”

“That’s ridiculous…”

“That’ll be right.”

The detective pressed the arrow keys on his laptop.

Then the next picture you see.

that.

Lee Yoon Ah’s…

“That’s what it has to be.”

A mechanical sound I had heard somewhere struck my ears.

Fear rose behind Han Sang-ik.

**

“Sigh.”

Yukina opened a door as if boasting and looked inside.

Inside there was a bed and a woman moaning excitedly on the bed.

“Uh, ah…”

I approached and looked at the woman’s face.

A familiar face, it was the missing person, Lee Yoon-ah.

His body was convulsing and his eyes were blurry, as if he had been soaked in drugs.

From noble mtl dot com

“how is it?”

What do you think?

You thought I didn’t know who kidnapped me?

“From the look on your face, I can’t tell you don’t know what I meant by showing you this.”

Yukina took a deep breath, as if she was disappointed.

Then he made a sound like ‘Ahhh’ as ​​if he was clearing his throat before singing.

He soon opened his mouth and called the missing person’s name.

“Yoon-ah.”

The voice was that of a student named Han Sang-ik.

Perhaps it was an application of the ability to change appearance that had been used before.

“Sang…ik…ah…”

Then, Lee Yoon-ah, who seemed so dazed that it seemed hard to hear, responded in a slow voice.

“Actually, I was too embarrassed to say it until now, but I think I like you.”

“really…?”

“Really.”

“I’m…happy…”

It was a not funny prank.

Yukina smiled and looked at me.

“How is it? Do you understand?”

“…”

“A warm relationship, a bond that has been built since childhood. You must be so drunk on drugs that you’re out of your mind, but you still react to my voice.”

Then he took on the appearance of an opera singer and opened his mouth on his own, continuing to tell a story I didn’t want to know.

“In fact, the accumulated fate is not speaking, but is merely reacting to a bad joke. It’s beautiful, but sad.”

“so?”

The intention was clear.

Metaphor, substitution.

This incident was a declaration of war and a prank against me.

“Are you angry?”

“No, not at all.”

But this has nothing to do with me.

So there was no need to care whether they resembled each other or not.

“Is that so? I see. Okay, I understand.”

Yukina shrugged her shoulders as if the steam had escaped her.

“I’ll be satisfied with this for now. Oh, do whatever you want with this, senior. I’ve just wiped away the memories. There won’t be a problem. If you have any doubts, you can kill me. Yes, if you can kill me.”

Then the light flashed and there were only two people in the room.

“…under.”

I looked down at Yoon-ah for a moment.

It really was a good thing.

-really?

**

“The culprit of this disappearance is Han Sang-ik, a fellow student in the same class. His motive for the crime was that he held a grudge against him for not accepting his confession…”

Press briefing room.

Camera flashes kept flashing, blurring my vision.

The reporters stood on the podium and wrote their articles with rapt attention, as if they would not miss a single word of what the police officer said as he explained the details of the case, and asked passionate questions.

“What is the victim’s condition?”

“Are you okay?”

The police officer nodded.

“I’m okay. But the incident was so shocking that I temporarily lost my memory…”

“If you have any disabilities, what is the extent of them?”

“Do you remember the incident?”

“Oh, about that…”

Then he continued to explain in detail in response to the questions from the following articles.

How long did that last?

A reporter raised his hand as if something had occurred to him.

“Come to think of it, I heard there was someone who was of decisive help in solving this case. Is that true?”

“Oh, that’s right.”

“So, can you tell me who was of decisive help?”

“that…”

“that?”

The police officer nodded.

It was supposed to go out as planned.

“I was going to tell you anyway. I’m sure you all know…”

“You know it well?”

“that is…”

“…ah!”

As I walked from the back of the briefing room to the front, reporters looked at me and let out small gasps as if they realized something.

“Let me introduce you to Lee Seong-hyeon, who played a decisive role in arresting the criminal in this case.”

As the police officer introduced himself, the camera shutters and flashes went off again.

News that the Laplace Academy student council, in cooperation with the police, had solved a case that had been unsolved for over 10 days quickly spread across the Internet.

The incident was thus completely concluded.

Some in prison, some in hospital beds, some with meaningless smiles.

like that.
