Personality Broken Hero - Personality Broken Hero chapter 83

83 – Episode 83

The forensic team arrived, but Nikolai was still guarding the scene.

I was able to leave work as soon as I arrived at the response team because the patrol time was almost over, and there was no other call right away, so there was no need to rush.

There was also a good reason to wait in case the criminal returned to the scene.

It is a principle that forensic investigation teams have armed teams, but it was difficult to always adhere to such a principle in Korea, where hero resources are scarce.

The shortage of hero manpower is more prominent in developed countries, and the more stable the society and the easier it is to raise a stable income without taking risks, the more troublesome it is to expand the hero manpower.

Accordingly, each country is concentrating its efforts on expanding the manpower of heroes by providing a lot of support so that they can gain wealth and honor when they become heroes.

For example, the United States gives special treatment to its heroes, but not only financial support, but also citizens’ recognition and treatment are very good, so despite the large land mass and dispersed population, there is a great shortage of hero manpower. Are not experiencing

Nikolai, who doesn’t have any special appointments because his working hours don’t coincide with Seunghee’s recently, has nothing to do anyway, but he decides to watch the scientific investigation team’s investigation for a bit.

The forensic team, which was anxious about not being able to join the armed forces due to lack of manpower, readily agreed.

Nikolai was quietly watching from the entrance so as not to interfere with the investigation.

“I brought the cage because I said I have a dog, but why doesn’t he move?”

“Okay. Looking at her eyes, she may have been exhausted or injured.”

“Why are your eyes like that, senior? Could the culprit be like that?”

An experienced man in his 40s answered.

“Ah…! Is this your first time on a dog site? It won’t be. In this case, it barks to wake the owner, but the pressure in the eyes rises and becomes like that.”

“Ah… …. I feel sorry for you.”

The figure of the dog with clear bloody tears from one eye ruptured seemed to pity Nikolai, who had become numb after going through many scenes, but the experienced CSI team members seemed to have a different idea.

“This is good enough. Have you seen anything to eat at home?”

“Yes? What are you going to eat?”

“As you will see later, pets sometimes get burned by the corpse when their owner dies and is hungry. But why doesn’t he move when I approach him? Where are you seriously injured? Outwardly, it looks fine…….”

Having said that, the CSI senior tilted his head.

“Quickly put on your gloves, take a look at that.”

“Eating corpses? That’s often… “

“It’s not important right now, so I’ll look into it first and tell you later.”

The dog, which had not moved at all, did not threaten at all and remained calm, only making a few sounds of pain, even when touched with thick gloves on in case it was bitten.

The man who caught the dog nervously for fear of being bitten tried to lift the dog and put it in the cage, but the senior who saw him stopped him.

“Wait. Lift up a little bit.”

“Yes.”

The man lifted the dog up, its stomach noticeably distended, its reddish-blue skin visible through its fur.

“Ah… …. I don’t think this will last long?”

The man who carefully checked between the master and the fur to keep his hands from touching his stomach said so.

“Senior, why is this ship….”

“I have to start filming first. The way I see it, it looks like the culprit attacked.”

While taking photos and video clips, focusing on the dog’s swollen stomach, the dog, which was breathing hard with a pained sound, slowly closed its eyes.

“Huh? Senior, is he not breathing?”

“Yes… …. If your stomach is filled with blood like that, it’s probably because you have broken ribs or damaged intestines, so if you don’t treat it right away, you won’t be able to live.”

“Ah… ….”

“I don’t know how he barked until his eye pressure rose in that state, but his condition was so bad. If the traces of the criminal’s attack are correct, we may be able to find out important information. It’s important ‘evidence’, so I’ll send it to the autopsy room.”

“Then should I put it in a body bag and not a cage?”

“Right. We don’t have separate body bags for animals, so there’s nothing we can do about it.”

A man who looked like a junior frowned and carefully put the dog in the body bag.

“You might think it’s a pity, but don’t take it to heart. It’s better than eating a corpse.”

“… …. Does that happen often?”

“It’s not a lot, but it happens often. People eat people when they are hungry, so how can animals endure it? If you do this for a long time, you will see it often.”

“What happens to animals that eat carcasses?”

“All without exception are euthanasia.”

“Yes?”

“An animal that once recognizes a human as ‘prey’ can be dangerous later. All are euthanasia without exception. If it is a site that has been neglected for a long time, you can see this level of nothing and really hard to see. Flies and maggots burrow into carcasses, and sometimes you have to pull the extremities out of an animal’s stomach. Once I found a half-digested finger and ring in the animal’s stomach…….”

“Ah… ….”

The juniors must have been a little shocked by the experience stories of the seniors, and since then they have become less talkative.

Before searching the scene, the forensic team, who left most of the scene in video and photos, began to search the house in earnest in silence.

The first investigator who checked the cell phone glanced at Nikolai, then unlocked the cell phone with the password on the spot.

“Huh? How did you do that?”

Nikolai asked a question after seeing how he manipulated and unlocked the cell phone, which was obviously password-protected.

“Um… …. Because this is confidential. Some institutions have separate ways to solve this.”

“Ah… …. I didn’t know that.”

The way she checked her phone for a while and unlocked it in an instant was amazing, but she didn’t ask any further.

The investigator, who had carefully touched the cell phone for a long time with his gloved hand, exclaimed as if he had confirmed something suspicious.

“Huh? Are there any call records after the estimated time of death? Is this…….”

The investigative team, which had already documented the whole scene with photos and videos, allowed Nikolai to enter the scene on the condition that the evidence not be touched.

Among the countless missed call records, there was a record of a contact recorded as ‘the oak next door’ and a call last night.

“Has the person living next door been recruited?”

“Ah…… ! It is probably being investigated by the Seo.”

Nikolai answered, knowing that the resident next door was investigating the body and accompanied the landlord to the west as the finder.

The investigator contacted the local police station.

“Yes. I would be grateful if you could ask me about the call log from 8:00 yesterday.”

ㅡ I understand.

The fact that the call was connected after the estimated time of death was sufficiently suspicious.

The forensic investigation team, which was searching every nook and cranny of the house waiting for a call from the police station, received a call from the police station.

Yes. He said he was the one who made the call. When the phone was connected, he heard only the sound of a dog’s breathing, so he thought he was being teased. He said he had never heard a human voice. What was the estimated time of death?

“It is not possible to narrow the margin of error significantly in the field, but it seems that more than 48 hours have passed.”

ㅡ Ah…… ! At that time, it’s time for this friend’s alibi to be established. She says that at that time she was working at a convenience store. We will secure the CCTV records and check them.

“Yes. All right. Thank you for your cooperation.”

Investigators briefly suspected that the crime was an accidental crime due to a conflict caused by animal noise, but that doesn’t appear to be the case this time.

It was not confirmed until CCTV records were secured, but Nikolai, who saw the young man next door, did not think that the young man was the culprit.

It was very natural for Nikolai to look surprised at a typical corpse.

“Maybe the call log was pressed by a dog. It is possible that he pressed the call button by accident, or because he is a highly intelligent dog, he pressed it after seeing what his owner was doing. The hair on the phone is also explained by this.”

Although the young man next door expressed his dissatisfaction with the noise of the animals, it was a bit unreasonable to see it as a serious grudge that could lead to murder.

Of course, murder cases happen because of animal noise or noise between floors, but the young man’s reaction was too natural to be resentful.

Nikolai, who had been snooping around the scene for a while, decided to return to the response team because it didn’t look like anything would come out right away.

“For now, I’m going to go back at this point. Could you please update me if there is any progress on the case?”

“Yes. That much is no problem. Thank you for watching over the field today.”

“Thank you for willingly letting me see the scene of the investigation. You worked hard.”

A few days later.

The CSI investigator who exchanged contact information informed me that there was new information about the case, but it was not the information I wanted.

There was a murder case where the suspect could not be identified, and like the previous case, the body of a woman who died with a sunken face was found.

Unfortunately, this case also involved a dog, and a woman walking her dog at night was discovered by a nearby resident taking a walk at dawn.

Although there are still two victims, it does not meet the conditions for serial murder, but it was clear at a glance that it was a crime with a clear target because of the fact that she raised a woman and a companion animal of a similar age.

I had a strong feeling that the killings were unlikely to stop here.
