Human distrust
Kim Han-gyeol expressed his anger as he walked down the hallway.
“The more I think about it, the more upset I feel. This isn’t even the Japanese colonial period, and the descendants of independence activists are being harassed by the descendants of pro-Japanese collaborators.”
“Because historical condemnation was not properly carried out.”
“Why didn’t it happen?”
“······.”
“Why are you looking at me like that?”
“You should have asked that question to your history teacher.”
Principal Ha Dong-su followed suit and said.
“This is class 3, grade 3.”
Kim Han-gyeol asked with a look of concern.
“Class is in progress right now. Can I come in without permission?”
“That’s not a problem right now. It’s a problem where school violence and suppression of the independence movement are intertwined. Besides, I didn’t like the homeroom teacher of Class 3, Grade 3.”
-dripping.
Principal Ha Dong-su knocked formally and opened the classroom door.
-Drunk!
Baek Jin-ju, the homeroom teacher of Class 3-3, who was teaching the class, greeted me in surprise.
“What’s the matter, Principal?”
“Of course you came because you had something to do······.”
Principal Ha Dong-su entered the classroom with a displeased expression.
Kim Han-gyeol and Shin Dae-seong followed right after.
The students who saw this started to gossip because they knew what had happened in the cafeteria.
“These are the detectives who broke Heo Jin-ho’s fingers.”
“Are you crazy?”
“But why did the principal bring those detectives?”
“There’s something about the atmosphere that feels strong······.”
Principal Ha Dong-su asked homeroom teacher Baek Jin-ju.
“Mr. Baek, what were you doing just now?”
“As you can see, it is class time.”
“What class is it?”
“yes?”
Teacher Baek Jin-ju answered with a bewildered expression.
“Korean history······ class.”
“What are you teaching now?”
Anyone who saw Principal Ha Dong-su had a look of displeasure on his face.
“We are teaching about the history of the independence movement during the Japanese colonial period.”
“Are you sure you’re teaching well?”
“Yes? I’m trying my best to teach you······.”
“Why are pro-Japanese forces still so powerful in our country?”
“I think it is because the historical condemnation of pro-Japanese collaborators was not carried out properly. The dissolution of the Special Committee on Anti-National Activities is a representative example.”
“Why was there no historical condemnation?”
“That’s······.”
“Hmm!”
Kim Han-gyeol coughed in vain and gave a hint.
“Principal? We came here for another purpose.”
“Oh, right.”
Principal Ha Dong-su looked at the students sitting there and said.
“From now on, I would like the students whose names I am calling to stand up. Go Ji-ah, Lee Yu-hyeok······.”
The students in Class 3, Grade 3 were in an uproar.
Because only the leaders of Cheongdam High School were called.
“And Min Seung-chan and Jo Bo-ram. Wake up quickly.”
Teacher Baek Jin-ju asked the principal.
“Why are you calling those kids out? And during class?”
Principal Ha Dong-su frowned and asked back.
“Are you really asking because you don’t know?”
“Do you······have something offended you?”
“Of course I was upset. I had high expectations for Mr. Baek······but now I am so disappointed that I am almost angry.”
“I don’t know why, but it’s my class time right now. Calling students over without my permission is an insult to the authority of the teacher.”
“Is this an insult?”
Principal Ha Dong-su’s anger exploded.
“Did Professor Baek Jin-ju know that there were cultivators at Cheongdam Arts High School?”
“!”
“Does it make sense that there are students who reign over the school? Does it make sense that they systematically harass students? And what’s more insulting than the fact that they only harassed the descendants of independence activists?”
Teacher Baek Jin-ju answered in embarrassment.
“I had no idea about that······.”
“Speak sense! The rulers are all students in class 3, grade 3. How could you not know?”
“······.”
“Of course, I can’t say that I am not responsible for this incident. But now that I know about it, I will never let it slide.”
Principal Ha Dong-su called out four students.
However, one of the female students was talking on her cell phone while sitting up.
“Student Jo Bo-ram, what are you doing now? Do you think what I, the principal, am saying is funny?”
“wait a minute······.”
Jo Bo-ram continued the call, gesturing for me to wait as if she were addressing a subordinate.
“Yeah, Dad. I think the principal is really angry. He brought the detectives from the minor crimes unit. He told me to bring Ji-ah, Yoo-hyeok, and Seung-chan too. Dam-taeng is really scared right now… You’re right there? I’ll be waiting, so come quickly.”
After finishing the call, Jo Bo-ram nodded and took the lead.
“Are you going? Principal.”
Kim Han-gyeol shook his head as if he was tired. He had a feeling that the investigation process going forward would not be easy.
* * *
Cheongdam Arts High School Counseling Room.
The rulers sat with leisurely expressions.
It was when Kim Han-gyeol was about to begin his investigation.
Jo Bo-ram said with her arms crossed proudly.
“We are minors.”
“What’s the problem?”
“The police shouldn’t investigate arbitrarily, right?”
“It’s okay because the principal is with me. And what I’m investigating is a case of school violence.”
Jo Bo-ram responded with a sly smile.
“Detective, we are free to answer your questions or not, right?”
“I guess that’s how it is. I can’t force them to open their mouths.”
“Use your brain and ask questions. If it’s a question you like, you might get an answer.”
Kim Han-gyeol began asking questions without getting excited.
“At Cheongdam Arts High School, they called you four the rulers?”
“We didn’t know.”
“Why did you only harass the descendants of those who fought for independence?”
“I told you, we’ve never done that before?”
“Is it because of your inferiority complex? You all come from famous pro-Japanese families. Thanks to that, you can live a wealthy life like this. Why did you harass the descendants of independence activists instead of quietly reflecting on your past?”
“Hey, that question isn’t funny.”
It is a declaration that you will not answer any more.
Kim Han-gyeol did not give in and continued asking questions.
“You guys know Han Yu-jin too, right?”
“······.”
“There’s no way you didn’t know. You didn’t give in like the other kids, you resisted until the end······. Did you kill me because you were annoyed by that?”
“!”
Kim Han-gyeol got up from his seat and approached the growers.
“My thoughts are like this······ You wanted to get rid of Han Yu-jin who didn’t give in. If you do it yourself, there will be problems. That’s why I was looking for someone to do it for me, and then I saw Lee Wan-yong’s broadcast.”
“······.”
“Isn’t it fun to think about? The situation where Lee Wan-yong kills the descendants of independence activists. You laid the groundwork for the perfect crime, and Lee Wan-yong carried it out himself.”
-Drunk!
The door to the consulting room opened and a man in a fancy suit came in.
“dad!”
Jo Bo-ram jumped up and was delighted.
Her father, Professor Cho Il-hwan, a law professor, greeted the principal.
“Hello, principal.”
“It’s been a while, Professor Cho. I’m not happy to see you on this occasion either.”
“I heard a rough explanation from my daughter. Rulers? It was so ridiculous that I laughed.”
Kim Han-gyeol intervened and responded.
“I don’t think this is a laughing matter. We are investigating with solid evidence.”
“This is the testimony of a female student named Jeong Ye-na. Can we really trust it?”
“We are 100% confident. It is consistent with other evidence secured by the Special Investigation Team.”
“What evidence have you secured?”
“I’m not that stupid to say that now. But anyway… How did you raise your children at home that you only pick on the descendants of independence activists and harass them? Did you receive instructions from the Japanese right wing?”
Jo Il-hwan’s expression became frowned.
“What you just said is extremely unpleasant. I cannot ignore it because it crossed the line.”
“Yes, that’s right. I made that statement on purpose. If this goes to court, the reporters will be very pleased.”
“······.”
-Drunk!
The door to the counseling room opened again, and a man of large build came in.
Kim Han-gyeol immediately recognized who he was.
“Are you Chairman Lee Tae-soo, who took over the violent world in our country?”
“Are you a detective from the Cold Case Unit?”
“Is that so?”
Lee Tae-soo approached Kim Han-gyeol.
Kim Han-gyeol is in the late 180s, but Lee Tae-soo looks 10 centimeters taller than him.
“Do you want to stop living?”
“Is this a threat?”
“If you’re a police officer, you should know who I am. You still don’t seem to understand what I’m saying?”
“Oh, my god······ Those little beggarly things really annoy me.”
“What, what did you say?”
Kim Han-gyeol answered with his head held high.
“Do you think I’m a member of your organization? Should I tell you what happens if you threaten the police?”
That’s when Kim Han-gyeol takes out the handcuffs.
Shin Dae-seong intervened and tried to dissuade Kim Han-gyeol.
“Let’s not make a big deal out of it. Telling that piece of trash will only hurt Detective Kim’s mouth.”
“I think I know who those kids resemble. That’s why they keep saying ‘no-no-no’.”
“DNA is science.”
It is a reaction that makes Lee Tae-soo feel an enormous sense of humiliation.
“These kids now!”
Kim Han-gyeol did not back down.
“Who is your child?”
“It seems like you really don’t want to live in this world······.”
“Why~? I welcome it.”
Jo Il-hwan spoke to dissuade Lee Tae-soo.
“Please be patient, Mr. Chairman. This is a trick by the special task force to induce assault charges and arrest you.”
“You two, I will definitely remember.”
“Thank you. I remembered your face clearly too.”
Kim Han-gyeol then declared to the rulers.
“I will definitely punish you guys. If it were during the Japanese colonial period, you guys would have sold out the country······.”
For a moment, the rulers of Cheongdam Arts High School became nervous.
Because this is the first time that someone has seen their parents in person and is not afraid to talk back to them.
-Tiring~ Tiring~.
Kim Han-gyeol checked the caller number and pressed the call button.
“Yes, go ahead, Detective Shin.”
-I found a video related to the Han Yu-jin incident.
“What kind of video is it?”
-This is a video taken when Ms. Han Yu-jin fell to her death.
Kim Han-gyeol asked with a nervous expression.
“Is it an accident? Or murder?”
-No one will say it was an accident after watching this video. Someone was filmed pushing Ms. Han Yu-jin.
“Who is that?”
-See for yourself rather than just let me tell you.
“Will you send me the video?”
-No, go to the Cheongdam Arts High School bulletin board and check. Someone just posted that they’re revealing the truth.
“Okay, I’ll check and call you back.”
After Kim Han-gyeol finished the call, he spoke to Shin Dae-seong.
“A video of Han Yu-jin was posted on the school bulletin board. It is said that the scene was filmed where someone pushed her and made her fall.”
“!”
Even the rulers were surprised by the reaction.
Kim Han-gyeol accessed the Cheongdam Arts High School homepage.
“I got to the bulletin board, but······ it says I need to log in.”
Principal Ha Dong-su brought a laptop to the counseling room.
“You can just log in with my ID.”
“Let me check it out quickly.”
Principal Ha Dong-su logged in and entered the bulletin board. Then he found the video in question and clicked on it.
Han Yu-jin was seen alone on the rooftop.
Kim Han-gyeol asked the principal to confirm.
“Is that female student Han Yu-jin?”
“Yes, that’s right. It’s such a shame. I went to the funeral, and my mother fainted and was admitted to the hospital.”
“Whoever the culprit is, I will not forgive them. They must be punished for destroying someone else’s family.”
The rulers also watched the video with tension.
“Detective Shin, someone came up!”
“It’s dark so I can’t see your face.”
“If you come closer, you will be able to check······.”
Han Yu-jin instead headed towards the direction where there was no light.
And after a while.
There were signs of a fight from behind, and someone pushed Han Yu-jin like a bulldozer and knocked him down.
The moment the criminal who was looking down from the rooftop raised his head,
The video paused and the culprit’s face was revealed.
Immediately afterwards, Kim Han-gyeol’s expression became dumbfounded.
“Wow, I got hit in the back of the head. The culprit who killed Han Yu-jin was Jeong Ye-na······ At this rate, I’m going to develop ‘distrust of humans.’”
But Shin Dae-seong kept tilting his head.
