EP134. Fraud and Murder

Gangnam Police Station. Wherever I go, the enforcement team is similar. Noisy, busy, and rough atmosphere.

“He did it first. ”

“Hey! What did you just say? A baby?”

“Detective, I would never settle. Feed him to me. ”

“Quiet, everyone! ”

I step inside and circle around. It's full of strange faces. Then, a man passed by me. He snores at the paper and falls unconscious.

“Hello."

“Yes? Yes. Hi, but who are you? ”

I grabbed him and said hello. It was an unspeakable act of detective. He looks at me and blurs his words as if he had seen it somewhere.

“I am Inspector Goo Ji-hoon of the Xian Police Department. ”

“Ah! I knew it! ”

“Yes?”

The detective smiles joyfully as if scratching his itch. Then he put down the paper and asked me to shake his hand.

“Don't you remember me? I was with Exodus. I mean, we were in a Fork wave together. Why, I also attended the promotion ceremony. ”

Sim Mi-young, who was at the center of the violent drug case. Her shop was in Gangnam, so we had to get help from Gangnam Police Station and Central Police Station. Suddenly, I was even more surprised.

“Oh, right. I'm Detective Yonghongo. ”

“I'm sorry, I don't have a good memory. ”

“No, there were more than a few detectives in the field. Haha. Since then, I've heard a lot about the role of the Xian Police Department. What did they say, Special Investigations Unit? ”

“Yes, that's right. ”

“But what brings you here? ”

The dragon detective asked with a sparkle in his eyes. You heard from the gossip gate, you seem to know it well. Every place we go, something big happens. I looked at the clock and asked. It's almost midnight.

“Aren't you tired? ”

“How about a cup of coffee? A vending machine with sugar in it. ”

I can also understand well. We went up to the roof of the police station. It's late, but the night is shining. It is the center of Seoul.

“All we can do is show off our vending machine coffee. Haha.”

The dragon detective put a paper cup in front of me and said, I looked down at the paper cup with a smile.

“Thank you. I can buy it. ”

“No. How much for this? Thanks to you, I like working hard. ”

I went straight to the point while drinking coffee. The deeper the night, the more people get drunk.

“I hear there's been a murder recently. ”

“Homicide. A lot. What are you talking about? ”

More than one or two, the dragon detective asked. I took out my notebook and made a point of what Jackson said.

“The victim's name is Kim Jay. She's a middle-aged woman, from Hanbok. He's a doctor.”

“Ah, I know. I'm not. I'm on the next team. At first, I thought it was an accident, but then I turned it into a homicide because there was something obscure about it. ”

“One of the suspects is Jackson, the donor, right? ”

Jackson's real name, Contributor. When his name came out of my mouth, the dragon detective was surprised.

“How did you know? I'm investigating two affairs with my husband. I think it's one of two things. ”

I reloaded the lie with a smile. 1% lie to mix with 99% of the truth.

“Actually, I have a case of my own. While investigating, I found out that the donor is a suspect in this case. So I ran to Buryburia. ”

It's not an official case, but it's not wrong. In fact, when I was out looking for Jackson, I was torturing him for fraud. My words made Detective Dragon's eyes pop wide open. Without wiping the coffee off my lips.

“Huh. Really? ”

“Yes. So I was wondering if I could listen to you. because if there's a case involved, we have to share it. ”

“Are you a murderer, too? So he's a convicted felon, hardly ever gets his hands on it. ”

“No, it's not murder. It's fraud. ”

When I defiled the dagger, the dragon detective tasted bad. Then I poured the coffee into a mouthful and stood up.

“It wasn't a homicide, it was an accident on my team. ”

“Oh, really? ”

“The team is out of the office, so I can't tell you the details. If you give me your number, I'll tell him to put you through. Instead, I can show you the first report I've received. ”

“That's enough.”

It would be helpful to have an overview of the event. The dragon detective goes down to the rooftop and brings in the report files.

“This is it. This is the first submission. ”

“Thank you. Let me take a look. ”

“Whatever.”

I went through the files. It happened about 10 days ago. My husband came home from work and found the victim lying down. Calling an ambulance was a start.

“So the head trauma was self-inflicted? ”

“The victim usually had low blood pressure. Pickup's been knocked out a lot. So at first, I was like," Shit, I hit my head on the home bar. "”

“Found dead. ”

“Yes. Estimated time of death was an hour before her husband came home from work. But something's not right. ”

“What?”

“Does it say your husband went to work there? ”

I nodded. Apparently, he didn't have an alibi either. Shouldn't you have an alibi for going to work?

“My husband is a physician. Turns out, he had a breakdown that day. He drove himself to the edge of the reservoir to fish. ”

“Hmm.”

And an ongoing explanation.

“Besides, it's not that big, but there's a bruise and a scar on your body. ”

“Ah. That's it. ”

I remembered what Jackson said.

“The doctor said it was domestic violence. ”

“I've heard of it, but that's the position of the donor, and he denies it. Heard from the hospital or the neighbors that he was kind and kind. Rather, the victim was screaming loudly. ”

Consistent with Jackson's testimony that he had a very good reputation as a socialite. The party that was killed, I don't know.

“Anyway, I took the liberty of recovering your phone records. At first, I did, but what the hell. After restoring it, a strange one pops up. ”

It means Jackson. Apparently, the victim was continuously erasing texts and phone records.

“Victims and donors, it was intense. ”

“It's the construction, right? ”

“Yes. My husband must have cut his living expenses at some point. He testified that he had a divorce in mind. The victim needed money. Give it back. I can't give it back. We fought like this. ”

Jackson, you bastard. You have all the conditions to be a prime suspect. I scoured the report while listening to the story.

“It says it happened at home, is it an apartment? Then it should be easy to get a CCTV. ”

“No, the house. I don't know if they're in pairs, they're not in control. One thing. There was a closed circuit at the front door, and it was switched off. ”

Two suspects, no evidence, nothing. I tapped the plastic file. The Gangnam police will also conduct their own investigation. But I don't know what the hell Jackson was accused of in his past life. I'm listening carefully then. Phew.

“Mr. Ko Ji-hoon? ”

“Yes?”

A dragon detective calling me dazed in thought. He said, putting down his business card.

“This homicide right here, that's my number. Text me. I'll give you my number when the team gets back. I need the data they're investigating. ”

“Yes, of course. ”

I smiled with my business card in my wallet. So that's it for now. I got up from my seat with the file and had a question.

“Yes, Detective Dragon. You said you thought it was an accident at first. ”

“I did.”

“But when the murder turned the investigation upside down, why did the task force change? ”

Normally, once you take it, you keep it, right? It's not a division like the Special Forces, it's the same enforcement team. The dragon detective put the paper cup in the trash.

“I don't know about that. Captain's orders. Maybe you have a different idea about assigning cases. Haha.Thanks to you, I can smell alcohol endlessly. ”

We walked down the stairs slowly, exchanging stories. However, the atmosphere in the office of the MCU is unusual. A bunch of detectives came out of nowhere.

“Huh? You're back? ”

“Are these your teams? ”

“Yes. I just heard they left. Wait a minute."

The dragon detective caught a passing detective who left me behind. And I start to say something, rattling on my side, to explain the situation. A familiar voice.

“Why are you doing this? This is crazy.”

“Quiet. Son of a bitch.”

“I'm not really me. ”

Inside the MCU office, you hear Jackson's voice. Turning around, you see Jackson sitting in a chair with his shirt on. Handcuffs that are steady in both hands.

“Inspector Ko Ji-hoon? ”

Dragon detectives calling me and other cops. I looked back at the puzzled situation with a look on my face.

“The donor is also on Suan's side? ”

“We were investigating fraud. But did the donor just get arrested? ”

The detective looks up at Jackson and nods.

“Another suspect's alibi checks out. And his fingerprints were on the victim's buttons. I am concerned about the extermination of evidence, so I intend to detain him. ”

Her husband's alibi checks out. And fingerprints point to Jackson as the killer. With all the evidence gone, it's gonna be like showers.

“Besides, I have a complaint here for fraud. He was coming in anyway. Oh, by the way, what's your case number? I think we should talk about this. ”

“Case number issuance is not yet · · ·. ”

Apparently, it came right after I left the officetel. Jackson turned his head and looked around. He finds me and shouts out loud.

“Detective, you there, American Bro! ”

“America Bro? ”

The dragon detective glanced at me and Jackson. I asked them for their understanding for a moment, and I approached him.

“What's going on here? ”

“Why are you asking me that? You should ask your detective. ”

“I walked right in after you left. ”

“You've been promoted from one of our suspects to a prime suspect. And did you know you were being sued for another scam? ”

“Fraud? Who is it? Are you quiet, Sister, or is that all? It can't be Minji. Ah. A colony. ”

Jackson recited his name, pointing his fingers to the suspicious situation. I closed my eyes, wrapped around my forehead. Is this what you've been told about your glamorous life? Jackson grabbed my collar, pulling out my complicated head.

“No, it's all good. But what about the prime suspect? I didn't kill him. ”

“Now those detectives will explain. ”

“Hey, hey! ”

“Come on, man. ”

Jackson frowns, rolling his big eyes. And I brought back the offer I made at the officetel.

“Is that still okay? ”

“Yoon Byeol, cleaning up? He acted like he didn't want to die. ”

“You're going to die, aren't you? ”

I looked at Jackson with my arms crossed. I know he didn't kill her. I gently plucked Jackson's hand from my lapel. Then he asked again, mixing up a little smoke.

“Fraud is admissible, not murder. Is this it?"

“Really, I swear. ”

I nodded my head to say yes. From how her husband's alibi stands out, which is likely to be the unsub, to why a team in good standing has changed. There were more than one or two questions.

“Okay for now. Just eat soup in jail. One of them will be here soon. ”
