Episode 136 I Can’t Speak English
Twenty minutes after Manager Han Jae-sik left.
“Did you pass the main gate? Yes. It’s a bit in the corner, so it might be a bit tricky to find. Yes, that’s right. It’s over there. Just keep going straight from there. Yes. If you think it’s not here, just keep going straight until the end, and you’ll see the ‘Comprehensive Legal Investigation Department’ sign. Yes, I’ll see you later.”
Kisoyoung said, putting down the receiver.
“I’m coming here with Jaden right now. Considering that I’ll be wandering around a bit, I think I’ll get there in about 10 minutes.”
As soon as he heard that, Wi Jun-woo gave me a strong order.
“Inspector, you really need to be careful with what you say.”
“I told you, I understand.”
“Because he’s a foreigner, he’ll be even more sensitive. There’s no good that can come from having him appear in the newspaper because of the suspect’s problem.”
“Chief, please be careful what you say. You’re a foreigner. You should say you’re a foreigner.”
I replied half-heartedly and went back to looking through Jayden Nibot’s files. Since the police investigation had been thorough, I planned to look into the facts a little more during the suspect investigation.
“But why doesn’t this kid admit to his guilt? The evidence is all out there.”
“Inspector! You little brat! I told you I understand all that.”
Hey.
I can’t speak, I can’t speak.
While I was looking at the documents like that for a while, there was a knock and the door opened.
“Oh my, this is the Jongbeopbu. It’s a good thing I called in advance. I almost turned back thinking I had taken the wrong route.”
A uniformed guard came in, snickering. Next to him was Jayden, handcuffed.
“Hello. Hello. I’m Jayden. Chosa. Choosa, come to Badr.”
Jayden, who was wearing prison uniform instead of plainclothes because he was under arrest, greeted us cheerfully and gave us a big wave.
There are many cases where suspects bring their lawyers with them from the investigation stage, but Jayden came alone, with all his guts. He said he couldn’t even speak Korean.
“Excuse me. Can you undo this handcuffs while I’m here? It’s not like I’m escaping or anything.”
Jaden raises both hands in the air while mumbling something.
‘Is that the guy who shoots a basketball?’
Aliotta snorted.
[How do you shoot like that? If you shoot like that, it’ll hit the goal post and bounce out.]
‘Oh. So that’s why when I play basketball, I always bounce out instead of going in?’
Sai Ki-young told me while I was having an unexpected realization about my basketball form.
“Sir, I’d like you to remove the handcuffs while Jayden is being questioned.”
Oh, that’s what it was?
I looked at the guard and asked.
“Are you concerned that Jayden might escape?”
“Yes. I followed along relatively well in the detention center. As far as I could understand Korean.”
“Will you wait while I investigate?”
“Yes. I will wait outside the door.”
“Then I guess it’s okay to let you go. You can fill it up again when you’re sent to the detention center.”
“I will do that.”
The guard released Jayden’s handcuffs, bowed his head in greeting, and walked out.
Jayden smiled as his wrists were freed, feeling much better. For someone who had come to the prosecutor’s office to be questioned as a suspect, he showed no signs of fear and seemed as comfortable as someone visiting a friend’s house.
I was already feeling a surge of anger inside me as I was reading about that bloody fact, but seeing his calm face made me even more shocked.
Because of that kid, Shin Ye-na is in a state of panic, taking tranquilizers, and receiving psychiatric treatment. Huh? Is this guy even smiling?
As I watched Jaden, I became more and more uncomfortable.
“Oh, shit!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Jaden raised one eyebrow. Behind him, Wei Junwoo made an X with both arms with a surprised expression, and Aliotta also looked at me in surprise.
[No, are you going to start swearing from the beginning?]
‘Who’s swearing?’
[Sit down means to sit down. I know that. Doesn’t ‘shit’ mean shit?]
I ignored Aliota’s words and looked at Jaden with a fake smile.
“Don’t stand there, sit here. Shh! Sit down, sit down. Shh down!”
Kisoyoung cleared his throat and spoke quietly to me.
“Inspector, over there, the pronunciation.”
“Oh, I’m sorry. I’m not good at English. My pronunciation is a bit bad.”
“If you want to tell someone to sit down, just say Have a seat.”
“Have a, sh*t!”
“No, have a see-it.”
“Shh!”
“… … .”
Kisoyoung stepped back, seemingly giving up on correcting my pronunciation. I looked at Jaden and smiled brightly.
“Jaden, this is Jaden’s seat. Have a s*ck! This s*ck is your s*ck! Have a s*ck!”
Jaden, take this shit! This shit is your shit! Take this shit!
Jaden glared at me for a moment with a distorted face, then said, “Oh, shit!” and sat down on the chair. Ki So-young also sighed and sat down next to him.
“As you can see, I’m not good at English, so Mr. Kiso Young here will interpret for me.”
Jayden sat there with a slightly pouty face, perhaps upset by the sudden mention of poop. I immediately started checking the basic facts of the case.
“You were the one who ordered the tree in front of Maison de Blanche Cafe to be killed, right? That was Teacher Crime, right?”
“Teacher Crime?”
Kisoyoung, who was listening to interpret, asked.
“You’re a teacher. You’re an interpreter, but you don’t even know that?”
“… … .”
“Well, this is a bit difficult in legal terms, isn’t it?”
“Inspector, please don’t mix English in and just speak in Korean. I think that will make it easier to interpret.”
I nodded because he didn’t seem to be going to leave me alone if I used English twice.
“Jaden was the one who ordered the tree to be killed, right? Your fingerprints and DNA were found on the envelope of money you gave to Song Jong-beom, who sprayed the weed killer.”
“Did you give money to Song Jong-beom to kill the trees?”
“… … .”
Even though Kisoyoung interpreted, Jayden kept his mouth shut as if he was trying to exercise his right to remain silent. Since my main objective was not to find a teacher but to stalk and commit murder, I moved on to the next question.
“So, you admit to stalking Ms. Shin Ye-na? You can’t not admit it, right? There were tons of pictures and videos on Jayden’s phone and the computer at home.”
“Do you admit you have been stalking her?”
“… … .”
Are you going to come out like this and pretend not to know? In some ways, it might be better. If you don’t admit to your guilt, you can’t ask for leniency, and you won’t get a reduced sentence at trial.
Yeah, just keep being silent like that.
“You weren’t planning on not only stalking, but also kidnapping and murder?”
“In addition to stalking, we believe you planned to kidnap and murder Shin Yena.”
“No, I didn’t!”
Jaden was the first to speak. He said firmly, “No!”
I get that. So you deny the kidnapping and murder, right?
You’re only getting 10 years, you punk!
“Then why did you have sleeping pills? You got them without a prescription.”
“To catch the bird.”
“You see this picture? It’s a picture of the knife, duct tape, and cable ties that came out of Jayden’s trunk. Are you still going to get away with this?”
“I wanted to catch the bird.”
“What are you saying?”
When I asked Kisoyoung.
“He’s been saying the same thing all along. He said he wasn’t trying to kidnap anyone, he was trying to catch a bird.”
“What the heck is that bird!”
There’s a limit to how much you can tease me. Are you kidding me?
Wi Jun-woo, who gradually sensed my frustration, suddenly stood up from behind me. Then, he made a motion to press down on the air with both palms facing down.
Aliotta also started nagging, perhaps worried.
[Hyun-kwang. Please be patient. This guy should be sent to prison and rot away. Don’t curse him for no reason and draw attention to his human rights issues, and have the embassy contact you.]
Even Ki So-young, who always has a calm expression, looked at me with confusion.
“Sir? Take a breath. Deep breath. Hmm, hmm. Hmm, hmm.”
Yeah. Calm down, calm down.
I took a deep breath and said, “Huh.” Then I started rapping like a machine gun.
“Hey you piece of shit, you piece of shit! You little shit, you piece of shit, you fucking watermelon eater, DGGo, you dogwood-like piece of shit, you nephew, you piece of shit, you fucking idiot, you fucking idiot, you fucking idiot, you fucking idiot!”
Ah, that feels refreshing.
But, despite my relief, silence descended on the office.
Wi Jun-woo and Aliota looked at Jaden with their mouths wide open as if they had been tricked, sweat dripping from their foreheads. Even Ki So-young gulped as she glanced at Jaden.
In that silence, Jaden, who had been quietly looking at my smiling face, tilted his head slightly to the side.
“What did you just say?”
“What did you say?”
“D, DG? Tekitekki? Kkiyaap?”
I don’t know exactly what I said, but I think he sensed something was off. Jaden pressed Kisoyoung.
“What did he say? Did he swear? He cursed me, right?”
Kisoyoung glanced at me and opened her mouth, speaking in a slightly high-pitched, gentle AI voice.
“↗I’m sorry↘. I didn’t↗understand↘what↘you↗heard↗well.↗Please↗say↘that↘again.”
Jaden looked angry with a pissed off look on his face.
“Are you kidding me? Are you f*cking kidding me?”
Hey, people. You should use polite language. If you curse, it will be useless.

Nam Woo-joong, the deputy chief, looked annoyed and put down the articles on his cell phone. The articles were all provocative and covered the activities of Prosecutor Do Hyeon-gwang of the ‘Jongbeopbu’ who investigated the case.
Why does this thing keep popping out no matter how much I press it?
‘Hey.’
Nam Woo-joong, who habitually ran his hand over his bangs, stopped. His forehead was already getting wider these days, and he had unconsciously done so again.
I carefully lowered my hand, and sure enough, a hair fell out from my finger.
I gripped my phone tightly as irritation surged through me. If it weren’t for the new phone I had recently purchased, I might have thrown it away.
“Would you like a drink?”
A small Japanese restaurant divided into rooms. In front, Gong Si-hyung offered him a drink. Nam Woo-joong, the assistant manager, emptied the glass he poured for him and gave a bitter remark.
“Didn’t you give a lot of cases to the Ministry of Justice, or rather, the Ministry of Justice?”
“I am sending a lot.”
“But why does that bastard, Dogum, keep stirring things up and making things worse? Does he still have time to spare?”
There’s nothing I like. Not Gong Si-hyung with that fierce expression, nor Do Hyeon-gwang who only causes trouble under me.
Like a thorn that was stuck in his foot and hurt so much that he would die every time he walked. Even if he pushed it away out of sight, Do Hyun-kwang would stick out and torment him.
– Sir, do you know how much it hurts when a thorn gets stuck under the sole of your foot? I’m getting older and my eyes are getting blurry, so I can’t see very well, and when I try to walk, it hurts so much that I feel like I’m going to die. I want to pull it out, but my stomach is so big that I can’t even bend my back.
The face of Do Hyeon-gwang, who had been laughing and spewing out curses since the first day they met, came to mind. What should I do with this guy? Nam Woo-joong, the deputy manager, was gritting his teeth. Gong Si-hyeong, who was standing next to him, cautiously opened his mouth.
“Sir, I’m talking about Manager Han Jae-sik.”
“Oh, that guy. He sent me another Korean beef. I’ll give it to you, so either throw it away or throw it to the neighborhood dog.”
Gong Si-hyung cleared his throat for a moment and said.
“Don’t do that. How about using Manager Han to your advantage?”
“Chief Han?”
“I regret my mistake now and I am trying my best to get back in the manager’s sight.”
“You loser.”
“I was thinking about using Chief Han to put a leash on Dogeom.”
