Royal Family

The school teacher was also surprised.

“What are you talking about right now?”

Shin Dae-seong answered the teacher with a serious face.

“I said that this female student is the culprit in the disappearance of the Daeshin-dong siblings. I have to make sure that the children are safe.”

Shin Dae-seong asked Song Yu-jeong right away.

“You······What did you do with the kids you kidnapped? Are they okay?”

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

“Then you can answer however you want. Are your children okay?”

“Yes, I’m fine. Are you okay?”

At that moment, Shin Dae-seong closed his mouth with a gloomy expression.

Kim Han-gyeol spoke up just in case.

“Detective Shin······.”

“It seems like the children have already been killed.”

“Haa~.”

Kim Han-gyeol let out a sigh of regret, and the guidance teacher was still in shock.

“I don’t know what’s going on right now. A high school girl wouldn’t commit such a brutal crime.”

“I understand how you feel, teacher. You just have to do what you have to do.”

“I don’t know what to do······.”

Shin Dae-seong spoke in a calm voice.

“First, please contact the student’s parents. We will not investigate further. And we will refrain from media exposure as much as possible, so please do not worry.”

“Ah, I see······.”

“We will meet with the student’s parents and lawyer and then go back. Until then, please remain with Song Yu-jeong.”

“Yes, I don’t know what’s what······.”

The life guidance teacher seemed to need some sedatives.

“It’s not fun.”

It was Song Yu-jeong’s voice.

Kim Han-gyeol glared with a frown.

“What did you just say······ Wasn’t it fun?”

“I expected a more surprised and angry reaction. This would be so disappointing······.”

The teacher told her to call Tyler.

“Yu, Yu-jeong, what are you talking about? You have nothing to do with that incident, right?”

“What if it’s related?”

“!”

The guidance teacher was beyond shocked and needed support.

-Swaying.

Kim Han-gyeol quickly supported him as he fell down in shock.

“Are you okay?”

“Yes······ I have to report this to the principal.”

Shin Dae-seong tried to dissuade her.

“Just stay here and call the principal. If two male detectives are with a minor, there could be trouble.”

“Oh, I understand······.”

The teacher spoke on the cell phone with trembling hands.

Song Yu-jeong looked at Shin Dae-seong with a smiling face.

“Detective, are you a psychopath?”

“Yeah, that’s right.”

“Then you can understand my feelings?”

Shin Dae-seong answered with a blank face.

“No, psychopaths have almost zero empathy. They can’t understand anyone’s feelings.”

“Do you know who my parents are?”

“I don’t know. I don’t need to know.”

“Don’t try too hard. I was released anyway because I was weak-minded. I guess I can just go study abroad in a warm country.”

“Do you admit your guilt?”

“That’s not true. I’m talking assuming that I was falsely accused like the detective. How would you feel if your beloved wife was cut to pieces and died?”

Kim Han-gyeol was rather nervous.

I was worried that I had pressed Shin Dae-seong’s footstep button.

“Don’t do something stupid. It won’t work on me······.”

Shin Dae-seong did not lose his composure.

However, Song Yoo-jung continued to provoke Shin Dae-seong.

“The entire police force fell for that foolish act? The profilers said that the criminal intended to commit sexual assault.”

“That’s amazing… I thought so too. Are you really surprised? That it wasn’t a police mistake, but intentional.”

Kim Han-gyeol whispered.

‘Never compliment a crazy bitch like that.’

“It’s okay. You should praise them for doing a good job.”

Then, Shin Dae-seong looked at Song Yu-jeong and said.

“I will investigate you to the extent the law allows. If you were planning to make an excuse that it was a forced investigation, then give up. And you are not as smart as you think. I will make you realize it.”

* * *

The special task force for unsolved cases was put on emergency alert.

“Damn, what kind of twist of fate is this? Song Yoo-jung’s father was Song Byung-gil, the Minister of Public Administration and Security!”

Manager Park Dong-hee grabbed his head and shouted.

But the longest-running team leader delivered even more shocking news.

“Song Yoo-jung’s mother is the owner of the law firm ‘Baek Knight’.”

“This is crazy······ This is one of the top 5 law firms in our country?”

“In addition, Song Yu-jeong’s maternal grandfather is the director of a general hospital, and her paternal grandmother is the chairwoman of Daemyung University.”

“A complete royal family! Song Yoo-jung is our only daughter and granddaughter. If this continues, we might end up like this······.”

This is when Manager Park Dong-hee can’t hide his anxiety.

-Rumble.

The door to the office of the special task force opened and police officers in suits came in.

“I came from the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency’s Inspection Department.”

Kim Han-gyeol whispered to Shin Dae-seong.

‘It looks like the oppression has already begun.’

‘Don’t worry, it’ll be okay.’

‘How could it possibly be okay? Who wouldn’t get dusty when they shake it off?’

‘It’s over there.’

Shin Dae-seong nodded to Manager Park Dong-hee and said.

‘Even if he gets fired for poor performance, he’ll never do anything wrong. He’s probably the most honest person in the police force.’

‘That’s right, you will never do anything that will get you caught. No matter how much you try, you will only get debt. You are the only one who can stand firm even when an inspector comes.’

Team leader Park Dong-hee asked the inspection team.

“What brings you here?”

“We have received a tip from the Gangnam 2nd Police Station’s Unsolved Cases Unit.”

“What kind of report is it?”

“I can’t say that. Please stop all ongoing cases.”

Team leader Park Dong-hee answered with a smile.

“That can’t be.”

“Don’t make me say it twice. Stop the investigation immediately and let me be investigated.”

“I don’t like it.”

The inspector and detective looked dumbfounded.

“Are you refusing the inspector’s order now?”

“You have the right to refuse an unjust order. I have determined that the Minister of Public Administration and Security is abusing his power to cover up his daughter’s crime.”

“What, what did you say?”

“Don’t interfere with the investigation and let’s resolve this between us. If I may give you one piece of advice, it’s that Song Yoo-jung is definitely the culprit. If not, I’ll be the first to resign.”

“······.”

“If Song Yoo-jung’s crimes are revealed, Minister Song Byung-gil won’t be able to hold out. Then, the inspectors and detectives here will be in the same situation.”

“Are you threatening us right now?”

Team leader Park Dong-hee answered without being discouraged.

“I’m making a legitimate complaint. First, you should investigate me, the person in charge.”

Then he looked at the longest-serving team leader.

“I will be investigated by the Inspector General, so Team Leader Choi will take responsibility and proceed with the investigation into the disappearance of the Daeshin-dong siblings.”

“all right.”

Team Leader Park Dong-hee worked with the inspectors and detectives.

“Okay, let’s go to the investigation room and let the kids do their work.”

“Are you kidding me?”

“First, investigate me.”

Team Leader Park Dong-hee left the office with the inspectors and detectives.

He sacrificed himself to buy time for investigation.

Team leader Choi Jang-soo asked Inspector Shin Soo-ah.

“What happened to the search and seizure warrant for Song Yu-jeong’s residence?”

“It seems like it will be difficult.”

“Damn royal family… Did you find anything around Song Yoo-jung’s house? If there’s any CCTV footage of Song Yoo-jung with her kids, that would be great.”

“I contacted Detective Bang, and he said he hasn’t found any clues yet.”

“Detective Kim?”

“Yes, Team Leader Choi.”

“How did Song Yu-jeong’s summons investigation go?”

Kim Han-gyeol answered while scratching the back of his head.

“The White Knight’s lawyers are setting up camp. Furthermore, Song Yu-jeong is a minor. If we just hold out, there’s no way out.”

“Hey, sir! The victims were a second grader and a kindergartener. Why are only the victims protected by the law?”

Shin Dae-seong said.

“Song Yoo-jung’s parents have clearly stated their intentions. They will protect their daughter by any means necessary… But no royal family can withstand evidence. There must have been someone who saw them take their children away like Kang Ha-na.”

Kim Han-gyeol shook his head and answered.

“CCTV footage near Song Yoo-jung’s residence has already been archived. We also collected and examined as many vehicle black boxes as possible, but the missing siblings were nowhere to be found.”

“Widen the search area a little more.”

“It’s not easy for a high school girl to move around with two children. And it’s not like she’s taking public transportation or a taxi.”

“You could have traveled by car, right?”

“High school sophomores don’t have driver’s licenses.”

“Don’t think of Song Yoo-jung as a high school student. She’s a murderer who killed two children. She’s smart enough to fool a profiler.”

“So does that mean Song Yoo-jung was driving the family car? It makes it look like an adult’s crime?”

“Investigate all the vehicles owned by the Royal Family. It would have been difficult for Song Yoo-jung to obtain a car elsewhere.”

Detective Hwang Yeo-ju answered.

“I’ve already finished the investigation. The most suspicious behavior is Song Yoo-jung’s mother’s second vehicle. On the day of the incident, she went to the family’s villa in Gyeonggi Province.”

“Send the police to the royal family’s villa. That’s probably where Song Yoo-jung killed the children.”

“It’s late.”

“what?”

Hwang Yeo-ju answered while looking at the computer.

“The Gyeonggi Fire Department is on the scene. This is the Royal Family’s family villa. They say it’s almost completely destroyed by the fire.”

Kim Han-gyeol couldn’t help but feel bewildered.

“Isn’t that destroying evidence to erase traces of a crime?”

“Unfortunately, there is no way to prove it. Song Yoo-jung’s mother’s second vehicle was also completely scrapped.”

“Wow~ They’re destroying everything that could be evidence. They won’t even be able to prosecute based on Kang Ha-na’s eyewitness testimony.”

Shin Dae-seong, who had been deep in thought, said.

“Send all available personnel to the villa. Song Yu-jeong must have buried the children’s bodies near the villa.”

“The Ministry of Public Administration and Security’s obstruction must be no joke. Aren’t they determined to cover up their daughter’s crime?”

“But we are not the ones who will be pushed back. We must uncover the culprit without regard to means or methods.”

“Of course!”

A week later.

Detectives from the unsolved crimes unit went to work with difficulty.

They look like wounded soldiers who fought in a long war. Everyone, including Shin Dae-seong, was wearing patches.

Kim Han-gyeol walked with one hand on his waist.

“Not only are you heading towards the ground, you’re also digging in the ground… Are we really detectives?”

“You got what you paid for.”

As expected, no more support personnel were available.

Inevitably, the case of grandmother Kim Bok-sun was put on hold for a while. The cyber investigation team of the illegal office was deployed to the mountain, and the entire unsolved case task force was dedicated to conducting a search operation.

Thanks to a thorough search that lasted a week, day and night, two bodies were found.

“Detective Shin, are these the bodies of the missing siblings?”

“I think it’s true······ We’ll know for sure when the National Forensic Service’s test results come out.”

“It’s really ridiculous. Who would have thought that Bae Young-chang, who always slept on the show, would come looking for me?”

“I also thought that was ridiculous······.”

“If it is confirmed that they are missing siblings, an arrest warrant will be issued, right?”

Shin Dae-seong reacted negatively.

“It’ll be hard to get there. But I won’t be able to refuse to be questioned as a witness any longer.”

“Did you see her face last time? Isn’t she a total psychopath? She thinks detectives are just toys.”

“You can’t let your guard down. You already declared in advance that you would be released due to mental weakness.”

“It’s a problem that her maternal grandfather is the director of a large hospital.”

Kim Han-gyeol felt uneasy,

-Whoosh.

A group of lawyers dressed in fancy suits came in at once.

“Who are you?”

“We are the defense team for Song Yu-jeong. Song Yu-jeong has come to the unsolved case unit to voluntarily appear.”

“What’s the matter?”

This is when Kim Han-gyeol begins to have doubts.

Detective Seo Min-ju answered the phone and said.

“I just got a call from the National Forensic Service. They said the bodies found yesterday are those of the missing siblings.”

Kim Han-gyeol muttered with a bitter smile.

“Then that’s right······.”
