Episode 32
“Prosecutor Kang. Are you summoning the victim who just returned?”
“A summons? I thought you said it was for a reference investigation.”
While looking through the documents, Detective Cha Hyeon-su asked with a puzzled look.
“You’re only a freshman in high school, how surprised would you be?”
“That kid isn’t that surprised, Detective.”
He stopped talking at my cold tone.
He thought for a moment and then asked carefully.
“Do you really think he is a suspect?”
I didn’t bother to answer.
I just looked over the documents again in detail.
Make sure there’s nothing missing from the photo.
I focused on making sure I didn’t make any mistakes.
“I’ll buy you some juice.”
“Three glasses, please. Oh, and juice in a clear glass, please.”
“All right.”
Secretary Lee Hyeon-a stood up from her seat and whispered to the investigator.
“Let’s go together. Mr. Kang, you must be tired from working all night. Please stop asking questions.”
“Let’s do that.”
They both went out.
I pieced together all the events in my head again.
“Park Ji-yeon. You are a really bold kid.”
I muttered while looking out the window.
Suddenly.
The door opened and the strongest inspector came out.
You look surprised?
“Kang Ji-hyeok. Isn’t that too much for a young girl?”
Well, you could look at it that way.
He came up to me and showed me an internet article on his laptop.
“Look at this. The reporters are already sniffing around and trying to tear it apart.”
[Prosecutor Kang Ji-hyeok. Another dangerous tug-of-war. He summoned the young granddaughter who was kidnapped during the murder of grandmother Kim Kkot-bun. Does he have no human rights?]
It was an article that just came out.
I instantly figured out who wrote the article.
Reporter Park Chan-jin.
Are you asking if there are no human rights?
You dare to talk about human rights······.
How rotten has it become?
Park Chan-jin!
“Didn’t Reporter Park also publish a vicious article about the Chief Prosecutor this time?”
“Yeah. The chief prosecutor was furious all morning because of that article. I was called in too.”
Early yesterday morning, the guy published an article criticizing our Western District Prosecutors’ Office itself, targeting the political world.
Well, no matter how much you block it, it can’t be helped that it leaks out from within.
“This is reporter Park Chan-jin.”
“say it.”
“I guess he’s a really hard-working reporter. The article about the chief prosecutor came up in the morning. I read the article last night after working all night.”
“At dawn?”
“Yes. Look there. The first upload time is 3 AM.”
“That’s right.”
The strongest inspector squinted his eyes.
It seems that they realized that this was not an ordinary article, but one written with malicious intent.
“Let’s first solve the case of Grandma Kim Kkot-bun and then talk about it. I think the Chief Prosecutor will also have a lot to say about Reporter Park.”
I think I know without even looking.
The prosecutor general must be worried.
How to fuck reporter Park Chan-jin.
“Are the contents of the incident report you wrote correct?”
“I am not a novelist. This is just a report listing the truth. Whether it is true or not is a meaningless question.”
“No matter what, that’s a high school freshman girl······.”
“We need to get rid of our prejudices. Do you know who kills children under the age of 10 the most according to an American survey?”
The strongest inspector squinted his eyes again.
I guess you have a rough idea?
“Sister, you are the one who kills the most. Why? Because pure evil is the scariest thing.”
“Pure evil?”
“If the question you wanted to ask me was why the granddaughter killed her grandmother, has that been answered?”
“That’s right. I’ll be honest. The most important thing in constituting a crime is motive. I’m telling you, there’s no motive in this case.”
The motive behind that incident.
And here I am hearing it from the mouth of the strongest prosecutor.
“The motive for the incident? Well, please watch us in the interrogation room. I will let you hear the truth directly.”
The strongest inspector looks seriously out the window.
The sunlight was quite dazzling today.
“The sunlight is killing me.”
“Isn’t it ironic?”
“Yeah. Okay, Kang Ji-hyuk.”
The two looked out the window.
The sunlight sparkled beautifully across the trees next to the sword.
“Have you ever said goodbye on a sunny day like this, brother?”
“I’ve never done that before, Inma.”
After a while, they all arrived at the same time.
“We met in front of here. That’s why we came together.”
Detective Cha Hyeon-su spoke first.
You must have been waiting for us to come together, right?
“Hello. This is Detective Kim Hye-jin. I am here to question student Park Ji-yeon as a reference.”
“Sergeant Kim. Did you bring everything I asked for?”
I slightly ignored Park Ji-yeon.
She frowned, then quickly changed her expression.
It was a brief moment so no one could have seen it, but my eyes could not be averted.
“Yes. I brought it.”
Sergeant Kim Hye-jin took out several photographs from an envelope.
I checked it as soon as I received the photo.
“You took pictures of all the flower pots on the stairs. And··· you took pictures of all the evidence······.”
I spoke hesitantly on purpose.
It’s as if there’s something important that I shouldn’t say.
Because I felt that Park Ji-yeon was looking at me with curious eyes.
Look at this?
He’s staring at me.
Are you curious?
What kind of picture is this?
“Ms. Park Ji-yeon. I am Prosecutor Kang Ji-hyeok, who will be questioning the witness today. This is my superior, Prosecutor Choi Kang-han.”
“Thank you for your hard work, Jiyeon Park. Since this is a witness investigation, you can just say what you know and leave.”
The strongest inspector spoke softly to Park Ji-yeon and held out his hand.
Park Ji-yeon shows off her hands with bandages attached here and there.
“I was hurt because of the kidnapper.”
Park Ji-yeon said hesitantly.
I checked all the photos I brought and gathered the documents.
“Then, can you tell me the story of that day? Will you help me catch the culprit who brutally murdered my grandmother?”
Nod nod.
Park Ji-yeon nodded, lowering her head.
Then he put his hands together and wiggled them.
He was holding his cell phone.
“You may bring your cell phone in, but please put it on vibrate.”
You’re meeting with the prosecutor about your grandmother’s murder case, and you’re worried about your cell phone?
* * *
I placed a glass of juice in front of Park Ji-yeon.
Officer Kim Hye-jin also followed in.
“I’ll stand here.”
“No. Sit next to Park Ji-yeon. That way you’ll feel more at ease. Isn’t that better?”
“yes.”
She answered shortly.
She will think that only Kim Hye-jin is on her side.
You have to reassure them like that.
widely.
Juice was also placed in front of Officer Kim Hye-jin.
“Please sit comfortably while you eat.”
“Thank you, Inspector.”
He spread out his documents and looked at his laptop, asking.
“Ms. Park Ji-yeon. Due to time constraints, I will ask the question. Is that okay?”
Nod nod.
She nodded again.
“I heard from my parents that you liked cats since you were little?”
“Yes, I like it.”
“But why did you kill those stray cats?”
He spoke naturally as if he knew everything.
Officer Kim Hye-jin looks at me with a surprised face.
But Park Ji-yeon answered calmly.
“A week ago? I gave it a can of tuna, and it scratched my finger. So I killed it.”
“Both of them?”
“yes.”
“That’s strange. Why are you only scratching one cat? Cats don’t attack at the same time······.”
Park Ji-yeon squinted her eyes.
It seemed like he realized that he had answered a question that was too natural too easily.
“I did it because I was scared. I thought he would kill his friend and harm me.”
I looked at her.
Park Ji-yeon lowered her head, fiddling with her fingers.
“Drink some juice. It tastes good.”
“thank you.”
Park Ji-yeon took a sip of juice.
Smile slightly.
“Isn’t it delicious?”
“Yes. It’s delicious.”
He asked, tapping the table with his fingers.
“Then, can you tell me the story of your kidnapping? If it’s too hard, you don’t have to.”
“Can I not tell you about your grandmother?”
“You don’t have to do that. You don’t have to remember sad memories, right? And you didn’t see me because I was kidnapped, right?”
Jiyeon’s face turned disappointed at that moment.
Soon, he bowed his head and continued speaking.
“I was taking a bath, and I was filling the bathtub with water, and then I fell asleep for a moment. Then someone covered my face with a black cloth and put a knife to my back.”
“He put a knife to my back?”
“Yes. I told you not to rebel.”
“It must have been scary.”
“Yes. I carried the frightened monk over my shoulder and carefully took him down to the first floor, then put him in the waiting car.”
“The culprit carefully carried it down. It looks like the culprit who killed the grandmother was afraid that it might hit a flower pot on the stairs.”
He said he was dragged there but didn’t know where he was going.
A few days later, he said he escaped through the open door of the place where he was held.
“It was a karaoke room.”
“karaoke?”
“Yes. It’s a karaoke place called Banggeul or Bunggeul.”
I looked at Officer Kim Hye-jin.
She answered.
“I’m on my way now. I checked with Banggeul Banggeul Karaoke in Gasan.”
That’s the whole story, he escaped, ran to the police station, and was rescued.
“Is the boss there Mr. Hyun-Tae Jo?”
Park Ji-yeon looked surprised at my words and then lowered her head.
Next to him, Hyejin Kim’s eyes widened.
How do you know that?
I’ve been investigating all night.
“According to the convenience store worker next door, a high school girl made a fuss demanding the money she had been promised. Did Park Ji-yeon get all her part-time pay from there?”
“I worked there on weekends for about three months during winter break in my third year of middle school. I also did some cleaning.”
“Yes. I checked my bankbook. I received 300,000 won every month for three months from Mr. Cho Hyun-tae.”
Park Ji-yeon thought for a moment and then nodded.
As always, he continued to act in a way that was disadvantageous.
“I see. First of all, I’m suspicious of the karaoke bar owner as well.”
The glass of juice that Park Ji-yeon was drinking was empty.
I carefully picked up the glass of juice with the handkerchief I was holding.
“I’ll bring you another drink. Just wait a moment.”
He took out a glass of juice and left it with the clerk.
“Please keep this as evidence.”
“All right.”
“I’ll take another glass of juice as requested.”
“Yes, sir.”
He came to the interrogation room and placed a new glass of juice for Park Ji-yeon.
“Drink this and go home.”
“yes?”
“The reference investigation is over. So go.”
Unlike before, when I spoke to her coldly and informally, Park Ji-yeon looked surprised.
“Your grandmother. Her back hurts so bad she can’t even get up. But someone stabbed her in the face and shoulder.”
Park Ji-yeon looks at me quietly.
It was an expressionless face.
“The culprit must be really kind. He even covered me with the blanket before he left. He even washed the knife he used in the crime in a hot bath and carefully carried it out.”
He said, tilting his head.
“If we had put Grandma’s body in a hot bath, it would have been very difficult for us. It would have been difficult to know the time of murder and such.”
“I guess Grandma was heavy.”
Park Ji-yeon blurted out the words.
I shook my head.
“He’s the culprit who carried you up to the first floor on his shoulders. But it’s not like he couldn’t lift an old lady who weighs 15kg less than you because she’s too heavy.”
He approached her quietly and whispered to her.
“It must have been heavier than you thought.”
Park Ji-yeon looked up at me with her head down and bit her lip.
“Go out and have some juice. Park Ji-yeon.”
“Inspector, what does that mean?”
Officer Kim Hye-jin spoke angrily and I responded with a smile.
“Sergeant Kim. I mean, I never use formal language with criminals.”
At those words, Park Ji-yeon said to Sergeant Kim Hye-jin.
“Detective, I need to go home now. I’m so tired.”
“Prosecutor. Is the witness interrogation finished?”
He nodded.
He spoke firmly from behind as Park Ji-yeon opened the door and went out.
“Go home and tell your parents. You need to hire a lawyer. You’re going to have to go to court soon.”
Park Ji-yeon turned her head and glared at me.
Unexpected words poured out.
“F*ck. Did this guy put an X in his ear? I’m the victim. I’m here to question you as a witness.”
Yeah. Now you’re taking off your mask.
Park Ji-yeon.
I came here today to talk about my grandmother’s murder and hear about my accomplishments, so I guess I’m very disappointed?
He said this while slamming the picture of the cat he was holding on the table.
“You stabbed each cat more than ten times with a knife. Unlike the beef you had hidden in the fridge before, the cats were thrilling, weren’t they?”
He waved at her a photo of beef that was covered in marks from multiple stabs with a knife he had kept in the refrigerator.
“Park Ji-yeon. Isn’t the prosecutor funny? You were changed from a witness to a suspect during the investigation, and what you’ve said so far is sufficient legal testimony. I’ll see you in court. You should meet a good lawyer. The old man with the X in his ear will only get the maximum sentence in court.”
