Dangerous Investigation Diary

Ep. 05 ° The Black Rose Murder Case (4) _

02:46 AM

Had I fallen asleep again? When I opened my eyes, it was nearly 3 a.m. I looked for my phone to call my uncle, but Officer Jeong was asleep next to me, his head leaning against the wall. He hasn't left yet... The uniform must be uncomfortable...

But now that I look at it, the hospital even gave me a private room. It was so incredibly spacious that I couldn't believe it was a private room, so it was only natural I hadn't thought of it that way. I half-raised myself to turn on my phone, and the door to the hospital room opened cautiously.

하여주 [28]

"...who are you?"

김남준 [30]

"I'm here."

Sergeant Kim came in, speaking quietly, and gently closed the door. Judging by the absence of other senior officers behind him, he appeared to be alone. His eyes, sharper than usual, seemed to be still angry, and he turned to me.

김남준 [30]

"...Sergeant Jeong, why is he sleeping here?"

김남준 [30]

"I thought something was wrong because you weren't answering your phone or responding to the radio."

As Officer Kim muttered to himself, looking at Officer Jeong, I leaned back on the bed, cautiously observing his reaction. But... why was he still in his uniform? Before I could even ask if he'd been working overtime at this hour, Officer Kim struck first.

김남준 [30]

"The first day of Team Strong 1 is over. How was it?"

하여주 [28]

"...ah."

김남준 [30]

"I wasn't very good. Because you got hurt."

하여주 [28]

"...sorry."

김남준 [30]

"Okay. You're not the type of person to repeat stupid things."

...Stupid. I said stupid. He definitely said it was stupid. Even Officer Kim, who had been the most gentle with me when we first met, seemed to be upset about my injury, and his tone clearly showed his anger.

하여주 [28]

"...But, did you work overtime?"

김남준 [30]

"Okay... Let's stop being so cranky."

김남준 [30]

"I called to tell you this, but you didn't answer, so I just came in person."

김남준 [30]

"Because... it's so urgent."

하여주 [28]

"What is it?"

김남준 [30]

"Ms. Han Kyung-sook has come to turn herself in. She says she is the real culprit."

하여주 [28]

"...yes?"

Ms. Han Kyung-sook... is the real culprit?

I slam the door open and enter the interrogation room, where Han Kyung-sook is with her head bowed. Something is bubbling up inside the six of us. If you're truly the culprit, why did you stall, why did you frame Lee Han-min, and why did you waste your energy on Officer Ha and injure him...

The rest of the group rose and surrounded Han Kyung-sook, centering around Officer Kim, who, though angry, suppressed his anger and sat down in the interrogation room chair. Officer Kim, too, seemed nervous, bit his lip, tears welling in his eyes, and sobbed so hard he couldn't even open his mouth. Unable to bear it any longer, Officer Park asked Han Kyung-sook a question on his behalf.

박지민 [29]

"Ms. Han Kyung-sook. She came to us now, claiming to be the real culprit and turning herself in."

박지민 [29]

"Is it true? You're not doing this under duress, are you?"

한경숙 [37]

"...what do I have to be threatened with?"

한경숙 [37]

"It's true that I killed him."

민윤기 [31]

".....under."

한경숙 [37]

"They tried to frame Lee Han-min as the culprit in an attempt to deny it somehow."

한경숙 [37]

"It's not a false statement, but Lee Han-min is not the culprit."

한경숙 [37]

"When the story became news and Lee Han-min received a lot of criticism... I felt guilty."

한경숙 [37]

"While becoming close with Yooseon, I also became very attached to Hanmin."

한경숙 [37]

"I feel like it's all my fault... I came here to turn myself in..."

In response to Han Kyung-sook's absurd and ridiculous remark, Inspector Kim slammed his fist on the desk, filled with rage, and shouted, "Framing an innocent person as a criminal, and now you're coming here, blaming him and all, and asking him to turn himself in? This guy is ridiculous.

김석진 [32]

"Ms. Han Kyung-sook. So what you're saying is that if it hadn't been made into an article, you would have kept it hidden until the end?"

김석진 [32]

"Because of you, the youngest member of our team almost died...!!!!"

김석진 [32]

"I guess he's hoping that turning himself in will get his sentence reduced..."

김석진 [32]

"I'll add a few more charges to your case and announce them to the court, so you get a reduced sentence? Don't even dream about it."

김석진 [32]

"I will do whatever it takes to make sure you get the maximum punishment."

민윤기 [31]

"...Arrest the former police officer."

전정국 [27]

"Officer Park. Handcuffs..."

After receiving the handcuffs from Officer Park, the former officer approached Han Kyung-sook, gripping them with all his might. Suppressing his rising anger, he spoke clearly, word by word, to Han Kyung-sook.

전정국 [27]

"...Ms. Han Kyung-sook."

전정국 [27]

"You are the real culprit of the Black Rose Murder Case... I am arresting you urgently for the murder of Kim Yu-seon."

So, Officer Ha's first case ended with a few drops of Officer Ha's blood being exchanged, and perhaps even Officer Ha's life being exchanged.

[The Full Story _ Han Kyung-sook's Perspective]

09:50 PM

After another tiring day, I was preparing to close the shop. While I was trimming the flowers to make them look prettier and cleaning the shop, I heard a knock on the door.

한경숙 [37]

"We're closed for business today-"

김유선 [35]

"It's me, sister!"

한경숙 [37]

"Yusun?"

Yooseon came to the flower shop for the first time in a long while. Judging by her appearance, she must have had a fight with Hanmin again today. I opened the locked door, and Yooseon rushed in.

한경숙 [37]

"What... why are you in such a hurry?"

김유선 [35]

"...My brother insisted on holding a knife to my neck."

김유선 [35]

"I came in a hurry because I thought you might kill me..."

김유선 [35]

"I'm sorry for coming without any notice."

한경숙 [37]

"It's okay... I guess Hanmin is really angry."

김유선 [35]

"Instead~"

김유선 [35]

"braided-!"

한경숙 [37]

"What is this black rose...? It's pretty."

김유선 [35]

“It feels like I’m popping up here all the time.”

김유선 [35]

"I only have one sister_"

한경숙 [37]

"Thank you... Oh, but Yooseon."

김유선 [35]

"huh?"

한경숙 [37]

"Is the outstanding balance still due...?"

김유선 [35]

"Ah! Look at my mind..."

김유선 [35]

"I'm so busy fighting with that guy these days I'm out of my mind."

김유선 [35]

"Next time you come, be sure to-"

한경숙 [37]

"No, how many times is this already..."

한경숙 [37]

"Do you know whose dog's name is the credit?"

한경숙 [37]

"The amount of debt I owe is over 100,000 won now!"

김유선 [35]

"Why are you suddenly angry? I told you I'd bring it to you tomorrow."

한경숙 [37]

"He'll make excuses like he fought with Hanmin again."

한경숙 [37]

"The amount of unpaid debt is only 100,000 won. The amount you borrowed from me is over 500,000 won!"

Yeah. I thought, "This is a lot to bear." With all the money he owed me and the debts he owed me, piled up like a mountain, I wondered if he could afford to buy me three black roses. He always said he was broke, but I wondered if he could afford to spend so much money on something like this.

김유선 [35]

"Is that something to be so angry about? Why are you so sensitive today, Unnie?"

한경숙 [37]

"Sensitive? Stop making such funny noises."

한경숙 [37]

"How much money do you owe me? Why are you buying me black roses?"

김유선 [35]

"That's because my sister usually likes roses...!"

한경숙 [37]

"You don't usually buy me anything, so why are you buying it for me when I'm behind on paying my debts?"

김유선 [35]

"Oh, really! Then don't take it. I'll give you the money tomorrow, okay?"

김유선 [35]

"That 750,000 won is a lot..."

한경숙 [37]

"what?!"

It was absurd. I was about to stop there, but the muttering, as if complaining, finally made me explode. So I threw the empty vase next to me, and even though I saw a little blood coming from Yooseon's head, I couldn't stop. I should have stopped there.

I stabbed Yuseon repeatedly with the scissors I'd been using to cut the flower stems I was holding. Only when I met Yuseon's eyes, blood gushing profusely and groaning in pain, did I finally come to my senses.

I quickly hid the scissors, which I'd washed off the blood, behind the display case, washed my hands roughly, and stuffed my bloody apron into a shopping bag. In Yuseon's blood-soaked right hand were three black roses he'd intended to give me.

As I racked my brain, the first thought that occurred to me was to pretend to be the first witness. So, instead of cleaning up the broken glass from the vase, I turned off the lights, locked the door, and left the flower shop as if I'd just finished.

You, Kim Yu-seon, are the one who caused this. I think you deserved the punishment.

09:54 PM

The next day after arresting Han Kyung-sook, I stayed up all night writing articles and took a nap in the office. When I woke up, it seemed like the autopsy results from the National Forensic Service had come out.

김남준 [30]

"Kim Yu-seon's DNA was detected on the scissors, Han Kyung-sook's DNA was detected on three black roses, and Lee Han-min's footprints or fingerprints were not found at the scene."

As Han Kyung-sook confessed, the real culprit was Han Kyung-sook. When Kim Yu-seon refused to repay the money, she became enraged, hit him on the head with a vase, stabbed him in various parts of his body with scissors, and then appeared as the first witness.

In order to avoid being caught, they used the frequent fights between Kim Yu-seon and Lee Han-min as an excuse and framed Lee Han-min as the culprit, saying that it was an accidental crime. However, after the articles were published and Lee Han-min was subjected to a huge backlash from the public, it seems that he felt a belated sense of guilt and turned himself in to us.

김태형 [29]

"I found out that Ms. Han Kyung-sook has been taking medication for intermittent explosive disorder for a long time."

전정국 [27]

"No matter how much you say that, you kill people... and you even go as far as disguising yourself to frame someone who has been wronged..."

민윤기 [31]

"He's actually a very common human being among the people we've seen."

김남준 [30]

"Anyway, the case has been concluded safely."

박지민 [29]

"It wasn't a success, but... everyone worked hard."

김석진 [32]

"Hey, Officer Ha, is there anyone who wants to go visit the hospital?"

김태형 [29]

"Let's all go together!"

김석진 [32]

"Should we? Let's go, everyone."
