some meeting
Bae Young-chang asked in the parking lot.
“Detective Shin, why are you taking me?”
“You say you have golden hands?”
“That’s right… But there are not always good results. That’s why I met Detective Shin. Isn’t that the worst outcome for a criminal?”
“What kind of car is it?”
“Over there, that’s the car.”
-Bam.
Bae Young-chang checked the vehicle by pressing the remote control.
“Is it a good car?”
“Ma, if you like it······would you like some?”
Bae Young-chang was truly ready to hand over a top-of-the-line vehicle.
“Why should I accept it? It’s not like I don’t have money to buy it.”
“I heard that Detective Shin is quite rich too.”
“Get in the car.”
“all right.”
-Brrrrr.
Bae Young-chang asked while driving a Bentley.
“Can I ask where you are going?”
“Why do you look so restless······.”
“Aren’t I alone with Detective Shin right now? Detective Shin is a psychopath recognized by the state. I’m a conman who preys on others. It wouldn’t be strange if I were to quietly take him away and bury him in the mountains. I could even throw him in the river.”
“First, drive towards Yeouido.”
“You’re not really going to throw it in the Han River, are you?”
Bae Young-chang looked terrified.
“Don’t worry. If I was going to kill you, I would have made up an alibi first. You saw me take you out.”
“The words you tell me to be at ease make me feel even more scared. You’re not really going to do anything to me, are you? I’m a very suspicious person······.”
“Why do you think I became a detective again?”
“You’re answering a question with a question. Anyway, if I may, I think it’s to clear your name of any wrongdoing.”
“That’s right, everything I do is related to my wife’s case.”
“I’m not a detective······.”
“That’s why I’m taking you. You’re a criminal and you’re smart. To be exact, you have a brilliant mind. You rebel against me and you know exactly what will happen.”
Bae Young-chang looked back at Kim Han-gyeol and said.
“I will never betray Detective Shin. Please trust me.”
“Okay, just drive properly.”
-Bang~.
A heavy truck passed by in the opposite lane.
“Now tell me exactly where to go. I’m too curious to drive.”
“We are going to the meeting now.”
“What kind of meeting is it?”
“A secret meeting that you must not speak of carelessly.”
“Haha······ It’s not like it’s a dangerous group that worships the devil or anything like in the movies, right?”
“Don’t be curious, because you’ll find out soon enough.”
“······.”

A small building in Yeouido.
Bae Young-chang followed Shin Dae-seong down to the basement.
“Detective Shin, you still won’t tell us? What kind of secret meeting is this?”
“Over there, I’ll tell you when you get inside the iron gate.”
Bae Young-chang was intimidated by the suspicious atmosphere.
Even when entering the building, security was very tight.
There were also security guards standing guard in front of the iron gate.
“Please tell me your name.”
“This is Shin Dae-seong.”
“Who came with you?”
“This is Bae Young-chang.”
“I see this is your first time attending today.”
“you’re right.”
The bodyguard spoke to Bae Young-chang.
“First-time visitors will be subject to a body search. This is for confidentiality purposes, so we hope you understand.”
“Yes, please do.”
Bae Young-chang raised his hand and agreed.
The guards searched closely for any filming or listening devices.
“You can just come inside.”
“All right······.”
Bae Young-chang took a deep breath and opened the iron door.
-Squeak.
The space feels brighter than expected.
People were sitting on chairs arranged in a circle.
The first person who caught Bae Young-chang’s eye was a Catholic priest.
‘Detective Shin, was it a religious gathering? If so, please let me know in advance. I am not religious, but I am thinking of becoming a Catholic.’
Bae Young-chang sat on the chair with a relaxed mind.
‘The faces of the attendees are no joke. That person is Cho Tae-young, the CEO of an IT company. His charisma is no joke. Wow, there’s also the angelic actress Yang Mi-sook!’
‘Please sit quietly. The people gathered here do not like to be busy.’
‘All right.’
The Catholic priest looked around at the attendees and said:
“It looks like everyone is here. Now let’s start the meeting. The most important thing, no matter what the problem, is to acknowledge your condition. Who should we start with······.”
Bae Young-chang intuitively felt that this was not a simple religious gathering.
‘Detective Shin, is this by any chance a gathering of drug or gambling addicts? There’s no way actress Yang Mi-sook, who is like an angel, would do that.’
‘You’ll find out naturally soon.’
Yang Mi-sook stood up at the gesture of the Catholic priest.
She opened her mouth with a serious expression.
“I am actress Yang Mi-sook. Many people know me as an angel actress. But that’s not true. I habitually did bad things to staff and actors. In particular, I harassed actress Shim Soo-jin like a stalker. I didn’t feel guilty about doing bad things, and I couldn’t stop because I felt joy whenever I saw the other person suffer. That’s right. I am a severe psychopath.”
‘Wow! Is actress Yang Mi-sook, who really looks like an angel, really a psychopath?’
‘That’s right, he was a typical psychopath in the entertainment industry. I brought him here on the condition that he drop the charges.’
‘What are you accusing me of?’
‘There is something like that······.’
Then, Chairman Cho Tae-young stood up.
‘I am the CEO of a successful IT company. Everyone praises me as a creative and charismatic manager. But I am not. I get pleasure from trampling and destroying others. I am a psychopath.’
The people sitting on the chairs introduced themselves in order, and finally it was Bae Young-chang’s turn.
“Ah······ I am Bae Young-chang, who works in the internet-related business. I came here because of Detective Shin’s introduction. I couldn’t admit that I was a psychopath. I just thought I had a unique personality. Then, after seeing Song Yoo-jung’s case, I decided that I couldn’t do it anymore and decided to come. Please take care of me.”
-Clap clap clap clap clap.
The attendees welcomed him with applause.
Next in line was the person sitting next to Shin Dae-seong.
Bae Young-chang asked right away.
‘Why are you skipping Detective Shin?’
‘I am an example of a proper psychopath. I was the one who first created this group. Over the years, many people have lived lives just like normal people without causing any accidents.’
‘When did you start this group?’
Shin Dae-seong answered in a small voice so as not to disturb anyone.
‘Right after I became an adult. Psychopaths have nowhere to vent their frustrations. After I went to prison, Father Jacob took over.’
‘What made me a psychopath?’
‘The person who murdered my wife could be a member of this group.’
‘Are you repaying kindness with enmity?’
‘Regardless of that, he kills for his own pleasure. Investigate the attendees you’ve been to.’
Bae Young-chang clearly showed that he did not want to do it.
‘Why me of all people?’
‘You say you have golden hands? I can’t be objective here. I need a new perspective.’
‘I have a very weak heart. How can I go around and investigate psychopaths? It’s like playing Russian roulette. Who knows, some crazy guy might kill me?’
-Knock knock.
Shin Dae-seong comforted Bae Young-chang by patting his shoulder.
‘You’re the best conman I’ve ever seen. I’m sure you’ll do well. It’ll be better for you if you don’t make mistakes.’
‘You are truly cruel······.’
* * *
In front of a villa in Seocho-gu.
Residents unfurled banners and staged demonstrations, and reporters flocked to cover the event, competing to get coverage.
Because it is the day that child molester and murderer Cho Chang-ki returns home after serving his full sentence.
Residents near the villa raised their voices in anger.
“No, how can you live with a child molester and murderer? You need to kick him out immediately!”
“That’s right, there are only two daughters in my house. Who will take responsibility if something happens?”
The dispatched police officers are also in a state of despair.
“Citizens, please calm down. Cho Chang-gi has been released from prison after serving his term. We cannot stop him by force. He is wearing an electronic ankle bracelet. We will strengthen patrols here.”
“How are we going to compensate for the damage we’ve suffered? No one wants to move to this neighborhood.”
“Do you know how high the recidivism rate is for sex offenders? Why would you move here when you’re living on a deserted island with no one around?”
Kim Han-gyeol and Shin Dae-seong were watching this from across the villa.
“Detective Shin, have I upset you in any way lately?”
“No, there isn’t any?”
“But why do I feel like you’re ignoring me… Why don’t you take Detective Hwang and Bae Young-chang with you instead of me, your partner?”
“Why would I ignore Detective Kim? I took you with me as a punishment because I thought you two were having too much fun together. The only partner I trust and rely on is Detective Kim.”
“Really?”
“Then I won’t lie to Detective Kim.”
“Thank you! I’ll finally get some restful sleep. You don’t know how depressed and anxious I’ve been.”
This is when Kim Han-gyeol’s bad mood suddenly disappears.
-Bang bang bang bang.
A black van drove in, honking its horn.
“조창기가 도착한 모양입니다. 정말 개새끼 중의 개새끼입니다. 우리나라에만 있는 주취감형의 최대 수혜자지요.”
“Wasn’t the judge crazy?”
“It wasn’t a trial, it was a mess. The judge made the decision and ran away. If he had integrity, would he have done something like that? He was known as the scum of the earth. It’s a miracle that he stayed in prison.”
“It had to be that way.”
“Why? He’s not the type of person who would be a teacher or anything.”
“I warned you to be quiet.”
Kim Han-gyeol asked in surprise.
“Do you know that guy well?”
“I don’t know you very well. I scolded you once because you acted so thoughtlessly.”
-Rumble.
The van door opens,
The problematic Jo Chang-gi was brought down surrounded by facility security guards.
The townspeople poured out crude curses.
“You little bastard, you’re worse than an animal, get out now!”
“Are you a human? How dare you come to this town!”
Jo Chang-gi did not take it lightly.
As soon as he was released, he returned to his old personality.
“Where the hell are you swearing, damn it! I paid the price for my sins and got out? I’m going to live in a house I bought with my own money, who the hell are you talking about, huh?”
This was enough to arouse the anger of the residents.
“What did you do well, you big talk!”
“I’m now freed by the state because I’m innocent! I’m going to sue all the bastards who curse at me!”
Kim Han-gyeol shook his head.
“Only the reporters are excited and making a fuss. As expected, Jo Chang-gi has not been rehabilitated at all.”
“I’m really excited to be released from prison······.”
“No, that won’t do. If we keep doing that, a riot will break out.”
Kim Han-gyeol and Shin Dae-seong pushed their way through the crowd of onlookers.
Then he blocked Jo Chang-gi, who was swearing at the residents.
“Stop it, Jo Chang-gi.”
“What kind of kid is blocking my way······!”
Jo Chang-gi, who saw Shin Dae-seong, immediately became quiet.
“Poem, Detective Shin······What brings you here?”
“It’s too noisy.”
“I’m sorry, I won’t say a word from now on.”
“It’s no use.”
Shin Dae-seong took out the handcuffs and spoke to Jo Chang-gi.
“I came to arrest you.”
“Can you just arrest someone for yelling?”
“What are you talking about? You sexually assaulted another child too.”
“What, what did you say?”
“I know what you did. You proudly told your cellmates. I was waiting for you to get out.”
“!”
“Mr. Cho Chang-gi, you are under arrest for child sexual assault. You will never come out again.”
-Click.
The moment Shin Dae-seong was handcuffed,
“Wow!”
A cheer like a commotion broke out among the townspeople.
-Tiring~ Tiring~.
Kim Han-gyeol answered the phone while covering one ear.
I had no choice but to raise my voice because of the surrounding noise.
“Yes, sir! Go ahead!”
-Why is it so noisy?
“We just arrested Cho Chang-gi! What’s going on?”
-Bae Young-chang got an urgent call. It’s something important for Senior Shin, so please contact him.
“Okay, once I get in the van, I’ll tell them to call me right away.”
