Dangerous Investigation Diary

Ep. 07 ° Theft of the National Secret Vault (1)

And so, another day has passed since that walk, and I still haven't been discharged. Seeing me throwing a tantrum, insisting on being discharged, all seven of my seniors vehemently opposed it, so I'm stuck in my hospital room again, writing my statement of events.

하여주 [28]

"...It's so hard. Writing a statement of purpose."

I'm definitely going out. I'll eat well, take my medicine, and get better soon before I go out. I'm afraid someone might think I'm a cop, because if I don't use my head or body, I'll be restless.

박지민 [29]

"Oh, I'm sleepy..."

정호석 [30]

"It makes sense, since you stayed up all night. I was on duty anyway. Are you okay?"

김석진 [32]

"That aside, Officer Jeon, are you okay with your injured hand?"

전정국 [27]

"They said they avoided climbing the iron fence, but they told me not to do anything for the time being."

전정국 [27]

"The more you move, the higher your chances of getting on the iron platform."

민윤기 [31]

"All the manpower is running out."

김태형 [29]

"...Ha. Please don't bring any incidents today."

박지민 [29]

"Please don't talk like that! If you talk like that, you'll get in trouble right away."

김남준 [30]

"Ah!! Both of you, be quiet... There really is a case."

A word that should never be uttered in the Strong Team 1. "Please don't let any cases come in..." The moment you say that, a torrent of cases will pour in, and you'll be struggling to handle three or four cases a week.

Today, unfortunately, Officer Ha was not discharged from the hospital, and on the day that Officer Jeon had his hand injured, Officer Kim dared to say something like that, and Officer Park quickly tried to stop him, but Officer Kim received an alarm about the case as if nothing had changed.

Officer Kim briefly raised his voice and handed the initial investigation report to Officer Jeong, who sighed and accepted it. Officer Min, with a practiced touch, fumbled with his microphone and prepared the dispatch order.

The first violent crimes team begins its investigation once again in a chaotic manner. However, the investigation begins without Officer Ha.

정호석 [30]

"...Incident number 2002do255. Location of incident... Blue House. Safe theft. Emergency dispatch."

민윤기 [31]

"Strong Team 1, prepare to deploy."

"Breaking news. We just received news. The national secret vault located on the third floor of the Blue House has been burglarized. The police are aiming to apprehend the culprit as soon as possible, as the stolen items are from a national vault."

정호석 [30]

"...Turn off the radio, Officer Kim."

정호석 [30]

"If you're in the passenger seat, do something like that."

김남준 [30]

"okay."

The radio, which had been blaring breaking news, was turned off, and only silence filled the car. Normally, the radio would have been drowned out by the chattering of my teammates, but on the day of an incident, it was an unspoken rule not to discuss personal matters.

And this case was especially... a theft case involving the nation, especially the Blue House, so even the Violent Crimes Unit 1 was on high alert. If they caught the wrong culprit, they'd be criticized by the public, even to the point of being called spies.

정호석 [30]

"...We have arrived at the Blue House."

김석진 [32]

"Go in with your wits about you and your mind at ease."

김석진 [32]

"Don't make a mistake. Relax your expression. The President is here too."

김남준 [30]

"Let's go now."

I hope that the backs of the 1st Violent Crimes Team, who are receiving praise from all the people as they get out of the police car and enter the Blue House, will be smiling brightly as they come out, receiving praise as well.

As we strode briskly into the Blue House, the military and the President welcomed the Violent Crimes Unit 1. The President said he'd heard rumors about the Unit and asked them to use their exceptional abilities to quickly apprehend the culprit.

김석진 [32]

"Please trust us, Mr. President."

정호석 [30]

"Then, can I take a look around the scene of the incident?"

"Oh, yes, of course. The security guard will guide you well."

김태형 [29]

"thank you-"

Instead of the six men, all with stiff expressions, Sergeant Kim smiled kindly at the President and went down to the B3 warehouse. He knew that if he froze for no reason and the reporters there took a picture of him, even a single article would be published, and public opinion would criticize him for his unsavory personality.

The incident reportedly occurred on B3, the basement level of the Blue House, where the most classified items are stored. And it was the most classified item of all: a national secret vault. Who would dare steal from this place, with no warning and exceptionally high security?

Officer Ha, if it were you, would you have been able to guess the reason?

민윤기 [31]

"Hey, investigation log... Who writes investigation logs?"

김남준 [30]

"I'll write it."

박지민 [29]

"Who will search for the stolen location?"

김석진 [32]

"...The damage is great because Officer Ha is missing."

김석진 [32]

"I wonder what we did back when there were 7 of us..."

전정국 [27]

"...I'll just do it."

김태형 [29]

"Let's do it quickly..."

Perhaps because of the absence of Officer Ha, the Violent Crimes Unit 1 begins its investigation in a more relaxed state than usual.

하여주 [28]

"Ah, I'm done!"

하여주 [28]

"...I haven't heard from my seniors."

It took quite a while to finish writing the statement, but I put aside my disappointment at my seniors not contacting me and figured they must be busy, so I turned on the television. "I wonder if there's anything interesting to watch...?" As I was flipping through the channels, a breaking news story caught my eye.

하여주 [28]

"...Theft of a national secret vault?"

"Breaking news. This morning at approximately 10:02 AM, a theft occurred at the National Secrets Vault located on the third floor of the Blue House. The exact time and circumstances of the incident are currently being investigated...."

하여주 [28]

"Oh, seniors...!"

The seniors entering the Blue House with stern expressions were captured on the screen, and soon the anchor's words lingered in my ears.

"Ah... It looks like the investigation won't be easy. The police team that came to investigate is the Violent Crimes Unit 1 of the BU Police Station, a well-known organization in Korea. Even just looking at the screen, their expressions are quite stiff. They seem very tense... "

하여주 [28]

"...There's no way the seniors would be nervous."

Even at the scene of a murder, he remained unfazed, and stared at the blood-covered corpse with a familiar air. He's not the type to get nervous... at all. That much is certain.

"Once the investigation concludes, we plan to broadcast live footage of Team 1 of the Violent Crimes Unit briefing the investigation log. I'll meet with Reporter Kim shortly."

하여주 [28]

"....Why did this incident happen when I was injured?"

하여주 [28]

"The briefing is being held at the Blue House...? Isn't it too grand in scale? That's why..."

하여주 [28]

"...It's difficult, it's difficult."

하여주 [28]

"Even if I hadn't been hurt... I would have helped you a little."

하여주 [28]

".....Okay. Just ask."

하여주 [28]

- "Sir, this is Police Officer Haejoo."

치안총감 [51]

- "Uh... yeah. Are you Officer Ha?"

치안총감 [51]

- "Did he say that Yoon Do-hyun's son lives with Do-woon?"

치안총감 [51]

- "You made it to the Strongest Team this time? Congratulations."

하여주 [28]

- "Thank you. I'm working harder because I know that this is a place that is known as the best team."

치안총감 [51]

- "This time... the Black Rose murder case was solved thanks to Officer Ha, right?"

치안총감 [51]

- "Let's meet up sometime soon. But why did you call?"

하여주 [28]

- "This is my first time calling, but I have a shameless request... to make."

치안총감 [51]

- "Yeah. I can listen to most things. That bastard Yoon Do-hyun told me to take good care of you."

하여주 [28]

- ".....Currently, I am injured, so the seniors of Team 1 have been assigned to a new case without me."

치안총감 [51]

- "Ah, you mean that national secret vault theft incident? Everyone's expressions are bad, like they're nervous."

하여주 [28]

- "Yes_ I would like to be of some help to the seniors who showed me warmth."

치안총감 [51]

- "...Are you requesting that we be deployed to the field right now?"

하여주 [28]

- "yes."

치안총감 [51]

- "That won't work."

하여주 [28]

- "...Why?"

치안총감 [51]

- "It's my rule not to send an injured police officer to the scene."

치안총감 [51]

- "You cannot be deployed to the field until you are fully recovered and discharged from the hospital, Officer Ha."

하여주 [28]

- "Please, Chief of Police... I beg you to do this."

하여주 [28]

- "I've received all the treatment I needed, but my seniors told me to rest more and didn't discharge me."

하여주 [28]

- "You said you were hospitalized and injured, but you've already fully recovered, Chief of Police."

It's absurd and a habit to speak like this to the Chief of Police, but it was possible because the Chief of Police was a friend of my father's. I'll write a few more statements, but the case comes first.

치안총감 [51]

- "If you get caught, you'll have to write your statement all day."

하여주 [28]

- "It doesn't matter. Please follow up with me after discharge."

치안총감 [51]

- "......under."

치안총감 [51]

- "...Okay, I understand."

하여주 [28]

- "thank you."

치안총감 [51]

- "Instead of letting you go, make sure you don't get hurt... and catch the culprit as soon as possible."

하여주 [28]

- "Okay. I'll be back. Please support me."

치안총감 [51]

- "Have a nice trip."

Yesterday, I walked along the dreamlike cherry blossom tree-lined road where I confessed my past, and now, as the youngest member of the Violent Crimes Unit 1, I am going out to help the seniors who walked with me along the road.

First, Team 1 of the Violent Crimes Unit slowly surveyed the crime scene. Only the area where the national secret vault was located was empty, while the rest of the items were all laid out without a trace. If they knew it was a national secret vault and stole it, it would mean they frequented it regularly... Who would dare enter this place?

박지민 [29]

"There is no place without CCTV."

민윤기 [31]

"There's a good chance you've been here many times. You probably know where the CCTV is."

김석진 [32]

"There are no broken CCTVs?"

김남준 [30]

"I don't think so. Is there anything on the CCTV?"

하여주 [28]

"Yes. They say that only the criminal's appearance was not captured."

김태형 [29]

"Uh... is that so,...?"

김태형 [29]

"Ah!!! What the...!!!!!"

김석진 [32]

"Oh, it's noisy!!!...What is it?"

하여주 [28]

"They say there were pictures of the safe being moved, but there were no pictures of the culprit's clothes or face."

When I told my seniors, with a leisurely smile, that no one was caught on CCTV, they all froze and became speechless. It was as if time had stopped.

하여주 [28]

".....Aren't you going to investigate? You're going to kill me."

전정국 [27]

"....How did you get here?"

하여주 [28]

"Um... I'll tell you about that later, later."

정호석 [30]

"...I told the hospital. Don't let me come out until I'm discharged."

하여주 [28]

"I asked the Chief of Police. I'm truly sorry for acting without saying anything, but... I saw on the news that the seniors seemed very nervous."

하여주 [28]

"I wanted to help... but I'm really all better...!"

박지민 [29]

"...Okay. Since you're here, you should write the investigation log."

하여주 [28]

"yes!"

김석진 [32]

".....I'll ask you again once this is over. I'll resume the investigation. Hurry, the briefing is almost over."

I was so happy that I could help you, even though you looked worried. Just the fact that I could be of help to you this time was enough.

Anyway... I must begin the investigation now. Second investigation, second case. This time, I want to finish without mistakes, without regrets, catch the culprit, and receive praise. Together with my seniors from Violent Crimes Unit 1.

It's only been two weeks haha ​​🥲 My life is really busy... I stayed up all night for four days in a row during vacation, and even after school started, I was so busy that I couldn't go to bed early and I kept dozing off, so I wasn't in the mood to write..... Yes, that was an excuse. 🤦‍♀️

From now on, I will take good care of my body and mind and come back with good articles with a good spirit,, 🥺 The work 'The Chairman's Playboy' is also slowly making a comeback, so please look forward to it! 🤭

To all the Adi's who waited, to all the readers who read! 😎 I appreciate and love you more today than yesterday, and less tomorrow than tomorrow 💖
