◈Episode 116◈
The world’s most reckless boss
Shin Dae-seong looked at Park Mu-jin and said.
“Question two hundred and ninety-fifth, the last souvenir is on the front wall as seen from the kitchen door······.”
-bang!
Shin Dae-seong slammed the table in the interrogation room and warned.
“Don’t nod off and listen to me carefully. The last souvenirs are hidden on the wall in front of the kitchen door.”
Park Moo-jin replied with an expression of exhaustion.
“Please let’s take a break… I’m so sleepy that I can’t even hear Detective Shin’s questions.”
“Who created this tiring situation? If you had told the truth, this investigation would have ended a long time ago.”
-Boom!
Kim Han-gyeol put down an energy drink in front of Park Mu-jin.
“Drink, you’ll be able to answer vividly for an hour.”
Park Moo-jin drank the energy drink while observing Shin Dae-seong’s expression.
“Question two hundred and ninety-six, the last souvenirs are hidden inside the left wall visible from the kitchen door.”
“no······.”
“Question two hundred and ninety-seven, the last souvenirs are hidden inside the wall on the right side when viewed from the kitchen door.”
“no······.”
Park Mu-jin lowered his head and repeated the same answer.
-bang!
This time, Kim Han-gyeol banged on the table and urged him on.
“Look up straight! Do you think the police investigation will proceed while considering your condition?”
“I will definitely report this incident. Criminals also have human rights. We cannot continue to interrogate them without giving them any sleep.”
“What time is it now and you’re still sleeping? And it hasn’t even been two hours since we started investigating.”
“That’s true. How can you not get sleepy after hearing such boring questions?”
Shin Dae-seong didn’t stop asking questions.
“Question two hundred and ninety-eighth, the last souvenirs were hidden in the ceiling in the kitchen.”
“no······.”
“Lies, you hid them in the kitchen captain’s room. Question two hundred and ninety-ninth, the last souvenirs were hidden on the left side of the kitchen ceiling, divided into three sections.”
“······.”
“The three hundredth question, the last souvenirs were hidden in the center of the kitchen ceiling, divided into three parts.”
“Yes, that’s right.”
“The truth! Detective Kim, contact Team Leader Choi quickly.”
“All right.”
Kim Han-gyeol called Team Leader Choi Jang-su, and Park Mu-jin, who was exhausted beyond belief, collapsed on the table.
“Is it over now······.”
“That’s right, your life is completely over.”
“Kukukukuk······.”
Park Moo-jin said with an unpleasant laugh.
“Detective Shin, you’re mistaken. My real life starts now. Not as a punk who’s been wandering around construction sites, but as the strongest predator in the Republic of Korea.”
“Your dreams are wild. If it turns out you’re a serial killer who killed 38 people, will your treatment here be any different?”
“······.”
“I’m going to suggest to the warden here. I’m going to ask him to move you to another cell. Why? Because you’re the strongest predator in the Republic of Korea.”
“I don’t think your intentions are good?”
Shin Dae-seong answered with a strange smile.
“Of course. The cellmates I’ll give you are death row inmates with very bad tempers. They have bad tempers for no reason.”
“······.”
“Of course, I’m going to die for what I say. I’m going to ask you to take special care of me.”
“Is it okay for a South Korean detective to harass a prisoner like this?”
“What are you harassing me for? I told you that I would ask you to take special care of me.”
This is when Park Moo-jin looks at Shin Dae-seong as if he is going to eat him.
Kim Han-gyeol reported the situation on the scene.
“Detective Shin, I found the last souvenirs too.”
“There are 38 victims. How many of the victims’ belongings were found in Kim Tae-woo’s house?”
“All together, there are 37.”
“There’s one empty?”
“Yes.”
Shin Dae-seong immediately asked Park Mu-jin.
“Why is one empty? Wasn’t there one there from the beginning when they buried the souvenirs at Kim Tae-woo’s house?”
“I have no idea what you are talking about.”
“Why was one person’s belongings missing? Wasn’t there anything that could be taken as a souvenir?”
Despite Shin Dae-seong’s questioning, Park Moo-jin continues to be a duck-to-toe man.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about. Why don’t you try to guess what I’m talking about with your ability to read my head?”
“How rude······.”
The moment Shin Dae-seong made a face, Park Mu-jin came to his senses and apologized.
“Sorry, sorry. I forgot for a moment.”
“This is already the second time. Don’t test the limits of my patience······.”
This is when Shin Dae-seong gives a strong warning while rubbing his shoulder.
Kim Han-gyeol approached Shin Dae-seong and said.
“The manager needs to come out for a moment.”
“What’s going on?”
“I don’t think there’s any special reason.”
* * *
Shin Dae-seong came out of the investigation room.
Manager Park Dong-hee was waiting with a cold coffee in his hand.
“You’re not as energetic as you used to be. Take it easy.”
“Thank you, I’ll enjoy it······.”
Shin Dae-seong accepted the coffee without hesitation and drank it.
“There are 38 victims, but we are missing one item of belongings.”
“I know too······ It seems like there was no hiding at Kim Tae-woo’s house. But what about Representative Lee Yoon-cheol?”
“You went up after confirming that you found all the souvenirs at Kim Tae Woo’s house. Isn’t he an incredibly busy person?”
“When will the National Forensic Service’s test results come out?”
“This is a special case among special cases. The results of Lee Dong-wook and Kim Tae-woo will be out by tomorrow morning. There will be no problem at all in indicting Park Moo-jin for murder. But should we make the number of potential victims 38 or 37?”
“Shouldn’t it be 38 people?”
Manager Park Dong-hee proposed a mediation proposal.
“You say there are more than 37 people? If Park Moo-jin keeps his mouth shut without any evidence, there’s no way. Even revealing the murder of 37 people is a huge achievement.”
“I like everything to be certain. 38 people, I’ll do whatever it takes to find evidence for the remaining one.”
“Okay, I will report that to the chief.”
“Can I go back into the interrogation room?”
“The commander’s orders have come down.”
“What is the order?”
Manager Park Dong-hee’s face, who had been talking seriously, gradually brightened.
“Everyone on the special task force for unsolved cases must go on a reward vacation. No one is exempt.”
“Is it mandatory to go?”
“Yes. I think it’s because the special task force for unsolved cases is so outstanding. Compared to the Gwangsu Unit, there’s a huge difference.”
Shin Dae-seong nodded in agreement.
“What Manager Park said might be right. If a public organization stands out too much, problems can arise.”
“There was no winner of the successor game this time.”
“you’re right.”
“Manager Park can give me a vacation certificate, I can pay for the expenses, and Hye-ran can donate the travel voucher.”
“I only have one Hawaiian couples vacation ticket left?”
“Hye-ran has a lot of travel vouchers. Last time, she said she would give me any travel destination I wanted to go to.”
“It’s a very good idea. Starting this weekend, we’ll split into Team A and Team B and set off. The detectives from the Cold Case Investigation Unit will be very happy.”
Manager Park Dong-hee seemed to be the happiest.
Shin Dae-seong gestured towards the investigation room and said.
“Can I come back in?”
“Okay then.”
“I need to identify the remaining one before I go on vacation.”
“Is there anything I can help you with?”
“Then······can you just help create the mood?”
Park Dong-hee tilted his head and asked.
“What kind of atmosphere are you talking about?”
“I’m talking about the atmosphere in our old interrogation rooms. A certain degree of harsh investigation was recognized.”
“Detective Shin, if you investigate like that these days, it’ll be chaos.”
“I know. I’m not saying I’ll actually do it, I’m just trying to create the atmosphere that it might happen.”
“I can guess what your plan is. You need a boss who has no plan?”
“Yes, that’s it.”
Park Dong-hee answered while putting on his suit jacket.
“It’s been a while since I’ve moved with Senior Shin. I’ll show you who the most reckless boss in the world is.”
* * *
-Rumble.
Manager Shin Dae-seong and Manager Park Dong-hee came in.
Manager Park Dong-hee gestured to Park Mu-jin and asked Kim Han-gyeol.
“You’re missing one item?”
“Yes. It seems like he killed 38 people, but only 37 souvenirs were found in Kim Tae-woo’s house.”
“I want to make a perfect report to my superiors. I’ll make one more of the victim’s belongings. Then the amount will be just right. The director will be very happy.”
Kim Han-gyeol’s reaction is, “Is that really Manager Park Dong-hee?”
“What are you talking about? Make me a missing piece of equipment?”
“It doesn’t matter if he doesn’t talk. Who would listen to a bastard who killed 38 people? It would be even better if he added a few more crimes and brought the total to over 40.”
“Manager Park?”
Kim Han-gyeol looked at me with eyes that asked if I was in my right mind.
“Okay, sir. Okay, I’ll do that.”
Shin Dae-seong readily responded that he would follow those words.
Manager Park Dong-hee smiled brightly and put his arm around Shin Dae-seong’s shoulder.
“I knew detective Shin would be able to communicate. Can you do it within two hours? Assemblyman Lee Yoon-chul is waiting for me outside. My nomination is practically in detective Shin’s hands.”
“I will try.”
“You know? I’ll turn a blind eye to anything, so just get results. That kind of guy deserves prison food. He’d be better off if he died quickly, so it would be better for the Republic of Korea······.”
-Knock knock.
Chief Park Dong-hee lightly patted Shin Dae-seong on the shoulder and left the investigation room.
Shin Dae-seong looked at Park Mu-jin with a stern expression.
“You heard? Now, whatever I do won’t matter at all.”
“······.”
“I’ve felt this way for a long time, but Manager Park is such a patriot.”
“······.”
“First, I’ll ask about the missing victim. If you lie, you’ll regret it. The person who is missing, what’s their name?”
Park Moo-jin was extremely flustered by the sudden change in atmosphere.
I asked Kim Han-gyeol, who seemed relatively normal.
“What the hell is going on? This isn’t the 80s police department.”
“I don’t know either······ I think it would be best to answer Detective Shin’s questions honestly for now.”
Shin Dae-seong was waiting for Park Mu-jin’s answer, glaring at him.
“You’d better answer before I count to ten. No, I don’t even like counting to you.”
Park Moo-jin mustered up his courage and answered.
“What if I don’t answer?”
“You’ve already been determined to be a 100% murderer. Your higher-ups won’t treat you like a human being.”
“······.”
“I’m a low-level detective, so I have to follow my superiors’ orders. But I think the same way as the chief. I don’t want my taxes being used to pay for your prison food.”
“shit······.”
Shin Dae-seong looked straight into Park Mu-jin’s eyes and asked.
“I’ll ask you just once. Who is the name of the victim whose belongings are missing?”
“······.”
“You don’t want to talk about it?”
Shin Dae-seong got up from his chair and gave an order to Kim Han-gyeol.
“Keep guarding the door. Don’t let anyone open it.”
“I have to do whatever Detective Shin tells me to do.”
Kim Han-gyeol blocked the door to the investigation room with his back, and Shin Dae-seong took off the suit jacket he was neatly wearing.
“People thought I was strange. How could a psychopath suppress his desire to kill? I didn’t suppress it. I had many opportunities to express my desire. Why did I, a graduate of a Korean university, become a police officer?”
Shin Dae-seong unbuttoned his white shirt and rolled it up.
“Detective Kim, don’t ever try to stop me. If it’s too cruel and uncomfortable to watch, you can go outside.”
“All right.”
Shin Dae-seong looked down at Park Mu-jin, who was very nervous, and said.
“You’re good at lying, and you’re also good at seeing through other people’s lies. Do you think I’m acting to scare you right now?”
“Oh, no······.”
“You don’t have any intention of speaking frankly?”
“This is Kim Da-jeong.”
“what?”
“A victim without any belongings… She was my girlfriend.”
