Episode 546

“The situation has ended. Please provide assistance immediately. The situation has ended. Please provide assistance immediately.”

Heo Min-woo took out a walkie-talkie and started mumbling quickly, then he pressed Jeong-min, who was struggling, down firmly on the sink.

And he bound Jeongmin’s hands with the handcuffs he was holding in his arms.

“Fuck, ugh, ugh!”

Heo Min-woo, who was watching Jeong-min sniffing around trying to inhale the powder scattered on the sink due to the chaos, was now dumbfounded.

When I first heard the story from Cha Ju-han, I expected that he had already been addicted for a long time, but his condition was worse than I thought.

Even in a situation where he was arrested in the act, he sniffed around trying to inhale even a little bit of the powder.

Heo Min-woo roughly pushed Jeong-min aside, took out a paper towel, soaked it in water, and wiped away the powder scattered all over the sink.

“Inspector!”

And at the same time, the bathroom door opened and detectives rushed in.

“Let go! Fuck, let go!”

As he saw the detectives coming in, Jeongmin’s resistance grew stronger, as if he was finally starting to realize the reality of his situation.

As I was trying to hand over Jeongmin’s body to another detective, he started kicking me.

“Oh my, Jeongmin. If you hit a police officer here, you’ll be charged with obstructing official duties. And what if that police officer issues a medical certificate and sues you for damages?”

Heo Min-woo helped the detectives who were having a hard time subduing Jeong-min, speaking as if sighing.

From the perspective of someone who knew full well that Jeongmin had been using drugs because of Angel’s House, it seemed like he wouldn’t have sued for damages just because he got kicked a little, but he felt like he had to scare her to some extent.

But Jeongmin didn’t give up.

“I’m a minor, damn it! I’m a minor, how the fuck can I do this?!”

“He has a strange thought process. You’re not even a criminal, so what can a minor do? You’re a juvenile delinquent. If you act like a minor and act this way and that, it’s disadvantageous to you. What did the old man say? Didn’t he say that your statement could be used against you?”

“… … Dude, this is fucking ridiculous. I didn’t even want to do it! The old man gave it to me, fucking tell me to do it! The old man gave it to me, so this is a crime? Does that make sense?”

After inhaling a little powder, his speech noticeably returned to normal.

It wasn’t my first time seeing drug offenders, and there were definitely a lot of minors among them, but this was the first time I’d ever made an arrest with such a devastating feeling.

He answered with a hardened expression, fearing that if his expression softened for no reason, Jeongmin might underestimate the police.

“Stop swearing.”

And he nodded to the junior detective.

“What are you doing? Take him quickly. And judging from the photo of the documents, those people over there are from Jeongmin’s protection agency, right? Shouldn’t you be interrogated together?”

Heo Min-woo found the director and Kim Young-ji among the onlookers gathered at the bathroom entrance.

I was worried that they would run away, but just as Cha Ju-han said, they didn’t.

Rather, it was a confident expression.

I wondered if they could possibly be that shameless, and they really were.

“Are you from the Angel House? Minsu. Please give me the file.”

The investigator who was directing traffic among the onlookers to take Jeong Min away quickly ran over at Heo Min-woo’s words.

And handed him an L-holder.

Heo Min-woo took out a piece of paper from inside and compared the faces of the director and Kim Young-ji.

“That’s right. I’m late in greeting you. As you can see, I was here. This is Superintendent Heo Min-woo from Gangnam. As you just saw, Son Jeong-min, a student who was under the care of Angel’s House, was arrested on drug use and possession charges. I think you two will need to be investigated as well, so please go together.”

“… … I heard Jeongmin just now that you said that you gave the drugs to the detective first. Isn’t this a case of entrapment?”

Kim Young-ji reacted sharply.

Then Heo Min-woo nodded coolly.

“you’re right.”

“You can’t investigate the trap, right? Can I file a formal complaint?”

“You can protest, but I don’t know where you heard that entrapment investigations are not allowed.”

Heo Min-woo shrugged his shoulders.

“There is a widespread perception among people that entrapment investigations are illegal, and that really puts us in a difficult position.”

“… … .”

“It’s complicated if I explain in detail, but let me explain briefly… … There are two types of entrapment investigations, one is illegal and the other is legal. The inducing type is illegal. However, we simply provided an opportunity to student Son Jeong-min, and the one who took that opportunity was student Son Jeong-min. And this type of investigation is called an opportunity-providing investigation, and this is a legal entrapment investigation. In addition, the standards are a bit more lenient for drug cases… … .”

Heo Min-woo, who had been explaining things, sighed and handed the file back to his junior detective.

And then he came out of the bathroom and said.

“Well, you’ll probably end up hiring a lawyer, whether it’s a public or private lawyer, so it would be more reassuring to ask them directly whether they can push for an illegal investigation in this case. If you still want to hear an explanation from us, please let us know. Investigator Kim Min-soo here will kindly explain it to you.”

Heo Min-woo said that and looked around the cafe.

Seongyoon was sitting at a nearby table with another police officer.

After meeting his eyes, Heo Min-woo spoke to the director.

“Oh, and Director. Seongyoon Eom wants to leave Angel House. We’ll take him away, so don’t worry too much.”

Heo Min-woo turned towards Seong-yoon without even looking at the reactions of the director and Kim Young-ji.

And he winked at the police officers who were protecting Seongyoon.

As they tried to stand up with Seongyoon, the director, who had been frozen for a moment, shouted.

“Take them? We haven’t even received any official documents! Do you think that’s possible under the current procedure?”

“Oh, I guess you’re the type that needs to be explained in detail to understand. First of all, there is no problem with the procedure. To speak in a more formal tone, student Eom Seong-yoon feels considerable fear and anxiety toward the Angel House and its associates, where he is currently affiliated. The person in question is strongly requesting separation, and after considering various statements and circumstances, the department in charge has also determined that separation measures are necessary. Therefore, we will implement the separation measures, so please take note.”

“Where on earth are you taking the kid… … . Where are you taking the kid… … !”

“If I tell you that, it won’t be a separation measure, right? If you’re worried about Seongyoon, then don’t worry. It’s a safer place than Angel’s House. You haven’t forgotten that I’m a police officer, have you?”

The director had no answer.

Of course, that’s the case now, and I’ll probably figure out a way to do it later, but the important thing is that I’ve secured the safety of Jeongmin and Seongyoon.

When the first driver and the director met to discuss the situation in which the driver caused a violent disturbance, he said, “If you say that you will take emergency and first aid measures with the authority of the police, I will have nothing to say.”

But when Heo Min-woo asked, “Isn’t that possible in the case of domestic violence?”, Cha Ju-han muttered something incomprehensible to himself.

‘Not yet… … ‘

I don’t know what it means, but I think I saw an article somewhere saying that a related bill was proposed in the National Assembly.

“Seongyoon, you must have been scared, but you did well.”

Heo Min-woo opened the passenger door for Seong-yoon and patted his shoulder.

Then Seongyoon shook his head.

“No. I wasn’t that scared because you were already at the cafe.”

It wasn’t just the Angel House people who had gone to the cafe in advance.

In case of an emergency, there were a total of 10 people prepared to protect Seongyoon.

Three police officers and seven people assigned by Cha Ju-han.

Considering the commercial district of the area where the cafe is located, we took measures to make everyone look like ordinary college students or office workers.

“Ugh, then I guess I’ll have to take Seongyoon to the lawyers, and I’ll have to go to the police station to talk to Jeongmin. Is that okay?”

“Oh, yes. Of course. Then… … What happens to Jeongmin now?”

“Well, unlike you, Jeongmin can’t be protected by Attorney Cha because of his drug charges, so I’ll be taking him. He should be taken to a shelter or something, but I’m worried.”

“Attorney Cha said that it might be safer to detain him and have the police take him in… … .”

“In order to do that, an arrest warrant would have to be issued, but since Jeong-min is a minor and is both a suspect and a victim, I don’t think an arrest warrant will be issued. It’s okay because I can take him with me. I think Attorney Cha thinks the same way, right?”

“I don’t know much about that… … I just want Jeongmin to be safe.”

“You’ll be safe. But you shouldn’t tell anyone else that I’m protecting Jeongmin. It’s unofficial, and Jeongmin could be in danger.”

“Don’t tell the lawyers either?”

At Seongyoon’s question, Heo Minwoo smiled slightly and shook his head.

“The lawyers are okay. The hyungs I live with are okay too.”

“… … Yes. But can I ask you one more thing?”

“of course.”

“Should I go to jail, Jeongmin?”

Heo Min-woo sighed.

From the beginning, when Seongyoon asked for Jeongmin’s rescue, this was the thing he had been most worried about.

Cha Ju-han also told Heo Min-woo that Seong-yoon had asked him this question several times, so he asked him to reassure him so that he wouldn’t be unnecessarily scared.

“He’s a minor, it’s his first time committing a crime, and he probably started it against his will, either through the recommendation or coercion of Angel’s House, so I don’t think he’ll go to jail.”

“……yes.”

“Then can we leave now? I’ll talk to Jeongmin and tell you the news later.”

Seongyoon nodded heavily.

As Heo Min-woo’s car started to move, Seong-yoon looked out the window.

As I entered the school district, I saw a group of students who looked like they were my age walking.

They were laughing and chatting loudly, as if they were having so much fun, even though they were carrying heavy-looking bags.

‘If I had been born in an ordinary family, would I have looked like that?’

Seongyoon, who had been lost in thought for a moment, shook his head violently.

Still, how grateful he was that those lawyers appeared before him.

If it weren’t for them, I would still be tossed around in the Angel’s House…

Two weeks ago.

“… … Teacher, aren’t you worried about Jeongmin?”

It was the day when I met Kim Young-ji separately at a cafe near the school and told her that Jeong-min seemed to be on drugs.

When the lawyers told Angel’s House that Jeong-min seemed to be on drugs and asked them to react, I couldn’t believe it.

Kim Young-ji, who had always said that she was worried about Jeong-min, burst into laughter when she presented evidence to support the possibility of Jeong-min’s drug addiction.

When dealing with Seongyoon, she always said, “You’re so young, what would you know?”

Every time, I thought that Seongyoon was like that too.

I felt embarrassed because I thought it might look a little different when adults saw it.

But isn’t this time different?

It was not his younger self but his lawyers who first suggested the possibility of drug addiction.

“Pick something to drink. I’ll buy it for you, so drink it and then let’s go in together.”

Kim Young-ji tried to distract Seong-yoon and sort out the situation by talking in her own way.

It seemed like he didn’t want to have any more serious conversations about Jeongmin.

So, the conclusion is already out there.

“I’m not going in right now.”

The cold-looking lawyer told Kim Young-ji that if she reacted as expected, she should never return to the Angel House and should come to him.

“why?”

“I’ve decided to meet the kids later for a performance evaluation.”

“No. Come with me quickly.”

Even though it is a daycare center, they do not control going out until late at night.

Kim Young-ji’s words that it couldn’t be done made Seong-yoon increasingly convinced that what the lawyers said was right.

“No, even if I’m a fucking orphan, do I have to do everything the teacher says? There’s no reason to stop you from doing this, right? Is there something that bothers you?”

The lawyers advised that if Kim Young-ji tried to take Sung-yoon in there, she should respond loudly and make the subject clear so that everyone around her could hear.

That wasn’t a difficult task for Seongyoon.

All I had to do was let out all the emotions I had been holding back.

“Seongyoon, why on earth are you doing that… … .”

“Teacher, why are you doing this! Angel’s House is originally a place where the children it takes care of are not allowed to study?!”

“Come out and talk for a moment.”

“What am I talking about with a teacher who won’t even give me a reason and won’t let me evaluate my performance! Was Angel’s House always like this?!”

Seongyoon felt the eyes of the people around him gather and shouted even louder, emphasizing the words “Angel’s House” as advised.

“You, just wait and see.”

And as if to prove that what the lawyers said was true, Kim Young-ji gave up on Seong-yoon and left.

Seongyoon, who was left alone, checked through the window that Kim Youngji was turning around the alley and immediately approached the table behind her.

There were men sitting there who the lawyers had told them to talk to if they ever needed to talk to them or if they ever wanted to contact them.

Seongyoon opened his mouth weakly.

“… … Brothers. Please take me to the lawyers.”
