◈Episode 107◈

Blood’s alibi

Cheongsong Special Prison playground.

Prison thugs got together and chatted.

“It’s going to be a hot day. Why is Detective Shin here again?”

“Now that you’re a real detective, you must be here to investigate.”

“Who doesn’t know that? What kind of incident brought you here?”

“It’s the Prime Minister’s son’s case. Detective Shin isn’t alone. He brought the entire unsolved case team down here.”

The tigers had a rough idea of ​​how the outside world worked.

“Representative Lee Yoon-chul is a strong candidate for the next presidential election. Even if you include something like Jinjeong, it won’t be of much use.”

“Oh, my gosh… Is the kid who killed Rep. Lee Yoon-chul’s son 7 years ago here?”

“If Detective Shin is here, I’m 100% sure. Any idea what kind of kid did that?”

The tigers thought carefully and said.

“Could it be the red tag 3900?”

“He came in here ten years ago.”

“What about the conman 3887? He came in five years ago, right? But if you look at his eyes, he’s more of a murderer than a conman.”

“It could be the work of pimps. Murder isn’t easy.”

“Let’s get moving before Detective Shin gets angry.”

“How do you want me to move?”

“Just do the same thing as when Detective Shin was here last time. First, contact the prison. Ask them to compile an alibi for the Prime Minister’s son.”

The nationwide gangsters expressed their discontent.

“Aren’t we being too humble?”

“Wake up, kid. Are you planning on taking care of Gao in front of Detective Shin?”

“That’s not it······ We’re just being too humble.”

“Do you think we’re bowing down to Detective Shin?”

“Isn’t it?”

“I think there’s someone behind Detective Shin. Don’t you know who Assemblyman Lee Yoon-cheol is? How can you stop Detective Shin when he’s backed up so well?”

“That’s right, in times like this, you just have to actively cooperate and get some beans.”

The nationwide gangsters’ reaction is still one of incomprehension.

“Is it soybean paste?”

“If Detective Shin had only reigned with violence, would he have become a legend? If you actively cooperate with the prison order, they will definitely take care of you. For now, go back to your cell and prepare a solid alibi.”

“Okay, brother.”

“I’m warning you in advance. If you write it sloppily and carelessly, it will backfire. Write it down in detail and without any gaps so that Detective Shin can understand it.”

* * *

The cell where Choi Jang-soo and Kang Tae-gyu are locked up.

The head of the nationwide gangster ring came back and said.

“Write down an alibi.”

The former fraudster vice president asked back.

“What kind of alibi are you talking about?”

“I’m talking about the alibi for the Prime Minister’s son’s murder. Don’t write it roughly, but write it in detail and without any gaps.”

“But the Prime Minister’s son incident happened yesterday, right?”

“Why are you asking me that!”

-Phew!

The head of the cell hit the deputy head of the cell in the face. In an instant, the atmosphere in the cell changed into one of fear.

“Do you think I’m the culprit?”

-Thud, thud. Thud!

“That’s not it. I need to know the agenda to have an alibi······.”

“Where did this kid come from talking back!”

The deputy chief was beaten even more severely.

In a situation where everyone was terrified, Choi Jang-soo, who could no longer stand to watch, stepped forward.

“That incident happened seven years ago. It happened on August 2nd.”

The anger of the head of the Beomtal faction quickly subsided.

“As expected, you’re a smart newbie. Choi Jang-soo, what crime did you commit to get in here? I forgot again.”

“I stepped on some squeamish kids while my girlfriend was walking around, and one of them got badly injured.”

“This is a man. How far has he come? But that bastard who came in the same way······.”

Kang Tae-gyu flinched and ducked, and Choi Jang-soo blocked the way of the head of the Beomtal gang.

“Please be patient, sir.”

“I really hate those accountant bastards. I’m here because of them.”

“First of all, isn’t an alibi urgent? I’ll sort it out neatly. I used to run a detective agency. This is my specialty.”

“Okay, Choi Jang-soo, you write it down neatly. Detective Shin has to like it.”

“Don’t worry. I know Detective Shin.”

The head of the Beomtal Club asked in surprise.

“How do you know?”

“When I was in Anyang Prison, Detective Shin came to my office. I was under strict orders from the prison warden and kept my distance. But even then, there was the ‘Blood Alibi’ incident.”

“What is that?”

“There were a few cells that were just stupidly written. They were like gangsters doing this and that.”

“!”

“Detective Shin has strict discipline. If you finish something in one go, you will be rewarded for it, and if you rebel without reason, you will be punished for it. That detective’s nickname was ‘Dough.’ If you rebel, you die.”

“Why do you keep such a dangerous person in prison?”

“It’s dangerous, that’s why it’s in prison.”

“I see······.”

Choi Jang-su reassured the anxious Beom-teol chief.

“Don’t worry. I’ll make sure to get an alibi. First, I’ll look at the person in question. If they were arrested by the police after August 2nd, 7 years ago. In our room, everyone except the vice-chief is included. Let’s start with the chief first. What did you do on August 2nd, 7 years ago?”

“Why me?”

“Detective Shin starts by focusing on the chief’s alibi. He uses it as a standard to see how accurately it was written.”

“I see······ What did I do seven summers ago······ I think I went abroad?”

“Not ‘same,’ but definitely. If it turns out that it was written falsely, the entire cell will be destroyed.”

“Oh, damn it… What was I doing back then? August 2nd, August 2nd, I really think I went overseas. Towards Southeast Asia.”

* * *

The investigation headquarters set up in Cheongsong Special Prison.

With the full assistance of the warden, a clean and well-ventilated space was assigned.

The detectives from the unsolved crimes unit went on a prison cell tour, and only Hwang Yeo-ju and Shin Dae-seong remained in the investigation headquarters.

“Isn’t that too leisurely? You’re even giving the detectives a leisurely tour of the prison.”

“Detective Hwang, don’t take it easy. Even just because I’m here, there’s a lot of pressure here. You should be writing up an alibi by now.”

“Oh, you have so much pride.”

“I’ve been doing it that way for 20 years. I have a strong backing, so there’s nothing to be afraid of in the world.”

Hwang Yeo-ju, who was walking around the investigation headquarters office, asked with her arms crossed.

“Is he really here?”

“Maybe? He couldn’t commit murder for seven years because he committed a felony. That’s the part I missed.”

“What did I miss?”

“I thought he was just like me. A perfect psychopathic killer with great self-control from start to finish.”

“That sounds really scary······ Which part did you miss?”

“Moderation, I judged the Umchin-ah incident to be a grand retirement ceremony. Even though he did it so loudly, he left no trace. He showed what kind of person he was and disappeared.”

“As the expression goes, great criminals know when to leave. When they succeed in committing the perfect crime and leave, they become legends.”

Shin Dae-seong said, looking out the window.

“They say that it’s not easy to be self-restrained like me. What if I hold it in and explode?”

“They’ll commit another crime. But since it’s the first crime they’ve committed in a long time, there’s a higher chance of making a mistake. But Detective Shin, didn’t you already investigate them while they were in prison? What other crimes did these guys commit?”

“No, I only investigated my wife’s case. I wasn’t interested in any other cases.”

“As expected of Detective Shin. Are you going to interrogate all the prisoners here one-on-one?”

“The inmates will clean it up and come back, so Detective Hwang, you don’t have to worry about it.”

“This is almost like eating for free.”

I thought I heard loud footsteps in the investigation headquarters hallway,

-Thud!

The detectives who went on a prison tour have returned.

Detective Bang Woo-jin shared his thoughts.

“I swear to you, no matter what happens, I will never come back to prison. Right? Detective Kim.”

“Who likes coming here? Detective Shin was unjustly locked up for 20 years.”

At that moment, the detectives who had returned from the tour looked at Shin Dae-seong with longing. All the female detectives were on the verge of tears.

“It’s in the past, so don’t worry about it. I’ve always been good at adapting to anything. What happened to the thing I asked you to do?”

“Here it is.”

Kim Han-gyeol quickly raised the paper he was holding in his hand.

“All the alibis of the prisoners here are written down here.”

“How many of them don’t have an alibi?”

“There are about 10 of them. Are you going to investigate these guys first?”

“No, the culprit is a very good liar. It’s hard to tell the truth from lies under this level of pressure.”

“How are you going to put pressure on me?”

“We have to come and show him the scene where the real crime is revealed and he gets arrested. The more anxious he gets, the easier it will be to discern the truth.”

“But which prisoner are you trying to arrest?”

“It’s not like we didn’t gain anything from investigating this case.”

Shin Dae-seong immediately asked the other detectives.

“Each of you has prepared a case, right?”

Detective Shin Soo-ah answered.

“Yes, while investigating the murder of a man and a woman, I found out that a suspect was imprisoned here.”

“We’ll investigate those guys first and find out their crimes. Since we’ve come this far, we have to achieve the best results possible. Don’t feel sorry for the prisoners, and push them forward.”

“Is that really okay?”

“What does it matter if I have a strong backing? There won’t be another chance like this. Feel free to go after the other detectives who have their eyes on you. I’ll pick out the wronged ones myself.”

“Okay, Detective Shin. But I think there’s something else we need to do first.”

“What is that?”

“Bring Inspector Kang here. He was in the cell looking so pitiful.”

Detective Seo Min-ju also got involved.

“I almost cried. I have to bring you here quickly. Otherwise, I think you’ll appear in my dreams.”

“Okay, bring Inspector Kang over here, and bring in the inmate that Detective Shin has in mind.”

@

The investigation room of the special investigation headquarters inside Cheongsong Prison.

The guards brought in an inmate in his late 40s.

As soon as he sat down, he told Detective Shin the situation.

“I didn’t kill the Prime Minister’s son. Really? I was in the provinces at the time?”

“Your name is Lee Se-ho. You were charged with sexual assault, right?”

“you’re right.”

“I know you have nothing to do with the Prime Minister’s son case.”

“But why am I here······.”

“You committed another crime that you are not currently paying for?”

“I don’t know what you are talking about.”

“You’ll find out soon enough.”

Shin Dae-seong spoke to Shin Su-ah, who was sitting next to him.

“Begin the investigation.”

“All right······.”

Her voice, which had been answering politely, changed.

“Mr. Lee Se-ho, do you know Choi Soon-ja, who died five years ago?”

“No······I don’t know.”

“How could you not know? When he died, he left you an inheritance.”

“Ah, now I remember. She’s the grandmother I knew before, and she left me an inheritance. I was surprised too.”

“lie.”

Shin Dae-seong spoke with his arms crossed, and Shin Su-ah continued asking questions without interrupting.

“I think you killed Choi Soon-ja.”

“That’s ridiculous.”

“lie.”

Every time I lied, Shin Dae-seong would point it out right away.

However, Lee Se-ho did not confess his crimes easily.

“That old lady died of natural causes. That’s what it said on the death certificate.”

“No, Grandma Choi Soon-ja was poisoned by you.”

“Do you have any evidence? Proof that I killed that old lady?”

“There was a poison found in your house when the police raided it in connection with a sexual assault case.”

Lee Se-ho answered with a deep sigh.

“I was going to eat it. Life is too hard.”

“lie.”

“Oh, my······!”

Lee Se-ho suddenly came to his senses and said.

“I’m sorry, I swore without realizing it… But it’s not poison, it’s pesticide. They said it’s good as an herbicide.”

Shin Soo Ah said after hearing all of Lee Se Ho’s excuses.

“There’s one thing you overlooked. Grandma Choi Soon-ja wasn’t cremated. She’s buried in the cemetery now.”

“What did you say?”

“The poison you used has the property of remaining in the soil for a long time. If the National Forensic Service conducts an autopsy, it will be revealed that it was the poison found in your house.”

“That’s ridiculous! How do you figure that out?”

Shin Dae-seong asked him.

“Did it say that it was never revealed on the Internet?”

“······.”

“Hurry up and decide. Are you going to believe the nonsense on the Internet and hold out until the end? You’re going to confess and get some leniency. There’ll probably be a difference of more than five years.”
