There is no villain in my return 144

There is no need to arrest the security guard yet.

To clarify the situation, Shinwoo called Han Ki-beom from room 604 and An So-jeong from room 504 for a three-way meeting.

The three people sitting together in the management office looked at each other.

“Prosecutor Kang Shin-woo. You said you found out who killed her. It was the man upstairs, right?”

“What are you talking about? I said I didn’t kill him! Stop killing living people!”

“Who would believe that? You’re a murderer!”

“You stink, so wash up! Are you crazy and don’t even know what your body odor is?!”

The two looked like they were about to fight at any moment.

Shinwoo separated them and explained the results of the investigation so far.

Shinwoo showed the CCTV screen while everyone was paying attention.

“Mr. Han Ki-beom didn’t kill it. Instead, he mixed something in the cat’s food bowl. What was it?”

“……yes?”

“It’s no use trying to evade the charges. It’s all already been caught on video. I don’t want to get into trouble over this, so please be honest.”

Shinwoo’s voice is calm but firm.

Han Ki-beom hesitated as if he was embarrassed, then sighed and confessed the truth.

“……I did that because I was annoyed by the cats that kept gathering around me.”

“I knew it! You killed the cats by giving them drugs! You murderer!”

“……I didn’t kill them! I just mixed laxatives in their food to keep them from coming near here!”

Han Ki-beom took out white powder from his bosom.

It is a laxative that can be commonly prescribed at pharmacies.

He ground up the laxative and sprinkled it on the cat’s food.

I thought that if the cats got a stomachache after eating a few times, they wouldn’t be able to come near the feeding station that Ansojeong had placed.

“Sir, it’s true. I’m not the kind of person who would kill a cat so cruelly just because I’m angry!”

After that, Shinwoo’s gaze turned to the security guard.

When he hesitated, Han Ki-beom and Ahn So-jeong looked puzzled.

“That’s… I think my dog ​​killed the cat….”

“It wasn’t like he killed it, he killed it. And he pulled out the cat’s teeth and made stab wounds on the dead body?”

“Umm, no, that’s…….”

The security guard lowered his head.

But when he raised his head again, his attitude had changed.

“It’s all because of that crazy bitch! She spreads dog food all over the parking lot and apartment complex every day, so not only does it stink, but there are bugs too! The good residents are the ones who are getting hurt!”

“All of you……!”

“Do you know how much the value of apartments has dropped because of you?! Why are you turning it into a cat den when it’s not even your house!”

An So-jeong looked shocked, as if she had never imagined it.

The security guard readily confessed everything he had done.

I thought that if I raised a Rottweiler, cats would disappear because they were scared of them.

But the cats roamed around day and night, and then a Rottweiler bit a kitten to death.

At first it was a mistake, but then it was neglect.

“Why did you pull out the teeth and cut the cat’s body with a knife?”

“……I thought that if I did that, she would be scared and stop. I thought it was a warning. Was I that wrong?”

The Rottweiler had developed a habit of hunting cats.

Every time I went for a walk, I would intentionally look for cats and ended up killing several of them.

“You killed all my children! I’m going to sue you!”

“What are you talking about? They’re all stray cats. They’re not the cats you raised in the first place!”

The security guard has already found out what punishment he will receive if he gets caught.

If it’s a stray cat, there’s no reason to ask for money.

“If Ms. An So-jeong fed the cats and took responsibility, then she would be the owner of those cats. She can sue for the dead cats and demand compensation for the damages caused by it.”

“That’s right! I’m responsible for all those cats! They’re all mine!”

At the mention of compensation, she smiled brightly and shouted.

“No, how can you be responsible for so many cats?”

“I fed you and gave you a home, so you’re my cat! You better be prepared! Inspector, I’m going to sue you, so help me!”

Shinwoo exchanged meaningful glances with his teammates.

“Detective Kim, I’ll help you file the complaint.”

“all right.”

An So-jeong proved with documents and photos that the street cats were under her care.

The number alone was a whopping 78.

There, they insisted on euthanizing the Rottweiler, but received a compensation of 3 million won on the condition that an animal protection group take it in.

But the lawsuit didn’t end there.

This time, the management office sued Ansojeong for damage caused by the cats.

The cost of cleaning was incurred because the car was scratched or the street was dirty.

“Why should I be responsible for what a street cat does?”

“Ms. An So-jeong even received compensation for taking care of those cats.”

“……That’s different!”

“It’s the same.”

An So-jeong couldn’t continue speaking and started sobbing.

Her face turned red with anger, but that was not the end of the price An So-jeong had to pay.

Shinwoo said as he looked down at her with a cold gaze.

“Ms. An So-jeong. If you make one more false report, I won’t let it slide this time.”

“A false report! When did I……!”

“Just keep your mouth shut and listen. To you, civil servants may seem like people who come when you call them, but they work under stress 24 hours a day.”

When police officers and firefighters receive a 112 call and go to the scene, they often feel discouraged or even skeptical due to false reports.

Such false reports not only waste police resources unnecessarily, but also make it very difficult to respond quickly to emergency situations.

In the end, the damage will inevitably be passed on to the good citizens.

Shinwoo kindly recited the law to her.

“This is an offense under Article 137 of the Criminal Act (Obstruction of Official Duties by Hierarchy), and anyone who obstructs a public official from performing his or her duties is subject to imprisonment for not more than 5 years or a fine not exceeding 10 million won. Please remember this.”

An So-jeong just opened her mouth, looking embarrassed.

Then, as always, he turned on his twin flames and got angry.

“I am also a citizen that you have to protect! Can a prosecutor do this to a citizen?!”

“That’s why reporting is free. But remember that there is a price to pay for false reporting.”

An So-jeong couldn’t say anything more under Shinwoo’s cold gaze.

Han Ki-beom and the security guard were fined 500,000 won and 3 million won, respectively, for violating the Animal Protection Act.

On the day the trial results came out, Kim Ji-hye frowned.

“Prosecutor. Isn’t this a slap on the wrist? A fine of 3 million won for intentional killing?”

Over the past 10 years, only 4 people out of 3,360 people who violated the Animal Protection Act were arrested.

This is not because animal protection laws are weak.

Punishment for animal abuse was strengthened in 2019 to ‘imprisonment of up to 3 years and a fine of up to 30 million won.’

But punishment for animal abuse is still weak.

“If you think about it, the only victim who died in the end was the cat. It’s not like they’d be happy just by being given food.”

I remembered the kittens that were at Ansojeong’s house.

All the cats that were destined to be abandoned when they grew up were taken in by animal protection organizations.

“Oh, right. I heard that An So-jeong moved out of that house.”

“Suddenly?”

“It turns out that I was a victim of a rental scam. I heard there were more than one or two victims, and An So-jeong was one of them.”

She thought of the piles of bills and notices in her kitchen.

The problem of globalization is a problem of the times.

Since the collapse of the real estate bubble in late 2008, housing prices have fallen below the jeonse deposit, resulting in empty houses, and when landlords fail to make gap investments, they pass the burden on to tenants, creating a large number of victims.

In addition, there has been an increase in rental fraud, which is intended to intentionally steal tenants’ deposits by taking advantage of the rising real estate prices.

A typical example is the three-daughter rental fraud case that will occur in the future.

The damage alone exceeded 100 billion won, and the problem became even more serious because most of the victims were young people or newlyweds who had limited financial means and moved frequently due to marriage and job changes.

“Do you have the records of that lease fraud case?”

“Yes, here it is.”

The homeowner is SJ Real Estate Corporation.

There are over 100 properties, including villas and newly built multi-family homes.

“The representative is Lee Woo-ram. He is currently missing?”

“Yes, that’s right. The police have issued a search warrant for him after seeing that he ran away with the money.”

He is now a young man, barely 39 years old.

However, there are as many as five real estate corporations that it owns or is associated with.

“SJ in Seoul, IJ in Incheon, BJ in Busan, CJ in Cheonan, DJ in Daegu… They created corporations in each region and did various things.”

“Yes, unlike other gap investors, it is said that he moved with the intention of fraud from the beginning.”

Because the incident is so massive, there are many people involved.

The combined size of the five corporations is over 300 billion won.

It’s not money you can live off of alone.

The company’s employees are also being investigated, but they are all denying any knowledge.

Shinwoo had a hard time letting go of the case record.

‘The problem of real estate fraud will become more serious as time goes by. The number of victims will also increase.’

The only way to break this vicious cycle is through bold government regulations and stronger lending screening by banks.

But it was not until 20 years later that government regulations began to strengthen.

Banks would lend money to any corporation or property.

Even if it goes to auction, it is the tenants who suffer losses.

‘Couldn’t I change it a little?’

Shinwoo owned San-O Savings Bank.

Now, it has changed its name to Kangho Savings Bank and has been conducting various financial business together with EL Insurance.

This included loans to ordinary citizens.

‘If we can provide safe loans, tenants will be able to easily screen out dangerous items.’

Shinwoo didn’t just think about it, but talked about it with Kim Tae-seok.

“Are you talking about a housing loan for the common people?”

Kim Tae-seok showed interest.

He also has long known that there are loopholes in the jeonse system and loans.

“Hmm. I guess what the representative is saying is that he’ll prevent any danger that might arise from it.”

“That’s right. We only select safe items and lend them as deposit money, but we also lower the interest rate.”

In the process, the reasons for the property’s loan rejection were detailed.

If tenants knew that there was even a little bit of a risk of fraud in tin houses, they would naturally become reluctant.

“Hmm. That’s a good idea. If the risk is relatively low and the interest rate is low, more people will come.”

In addition to warnings about mortgage fraud, there are also advertisements for Kangho Savings Bank.

“Grandpa, please take care of this.”

“If the CEO trusts me, I’m grateful. How big will it be?”

“As much as the stable things are provided. Because I have enough money.”

Kim Tae-seok smiled faintly.

And soon after, Kangho Savings Bank advertised extensively on TV and in newspapers.

[Safe Loan! Loan that Makes Money!]

[When applying for a loan, we will analyze the risk of a property’s mortgage fraud and kindly inform you!]

The model for Kangho Savings Bank is Oh Ye-won, the greatest actress of her time.

He is the best actor to offset the light image that savings banks give off.

Many people flocked there because they offered interest rates that were 1% lower than other banks and even provided property analysis.

This alone may not be enough to stop rental fraud, but it may at least reduce the number of victims.

While Shinwoo was busy with various matters, Oh Cheol-gi reported about the three brothers of Heilongjiang.

“I have been continuously asking around for someone since I came to Korea.”

“Are you related to Woodfoot Lumber?”

“That’s not it.”

He gave the name he was looking for.

But that name was familiar to Shinwoo too.
