Dangerous Investigation Diary

Ep. 09 ° Theft of the National Secret Vault (3)

하여주 [28]

"...after."

Standing in front of the door to the police commissioner's office, I had to take a few deep breaths before I could even get myself to go in. I wasn't this nervous even when I was taking the police academy graduation exam.

하여주 [28]

"This is Officer Haejoo."

치안총감 [51]

"Ah. Come in-"

하여주 [28]

"...you called."

윤도운 [35]

"......."

치안총감 [51]

"Uh. Okay... Are you feeling better?"

하여주 [28]

"it's okay."

Chief of Police, sir... and also Mr. Yoon Do-hyun, the chief of police's friend and sir's father... I never thought they would all come this far.

윤도현 [51]

"Long time no see, lady. Ah... Is it Officer Ha now?"

하여주 [28]

"It's been a while, me too."

치안총감 [51]

"No, it's not me who sang it. It was Dowoon who sang it."

치안총감 [51]

"Dowoon. Didn't you say you had something to say?"

윤도현 [51]

"Hurry up, Do-woon. You're in charge of the Yeoju case."

윤도운 [35]

".....Please do it."

하여주 [28]

"...yes."

윤도운 [35]

"If you act like that one more time, you'll get disciplined."

윤도운 [35]

"You're new and you're in charge of a case, so I'll just let this one slide, but I can't look at this any longer."

윤도운 [35]

"Okay? Answer me."

하여주 [28]

"...yes."

치안총감 [51]

"Oh my. Why are you doing that again... I'm fine. I'm fine."

윤도운 [35]

"Still... be careful. It's going to be bad."

치안총감 [51]

"Okay, I understand. I'll make sure to tell you."

윤도운 [35]

"Thank you. Then I will go now."

윤도운 [35]

"I have work to do at the company."

치안총감 [51]

"Okay. Go ahead-"

윤도현 [51]

"Yeoju, go quickly. It must be an important case."

하여주 [28]

"yes?"

윤도현 [51]

"Do-woon says things like that, but he's worried about you, so don't worry too much."

하여주 [28]

"thank you."

치안총감 [51]

"Let's go now."

하여주 [28]

"Yes... I'll go out."

Ah... I survived.

김태형 [29]

"...Ha. Ms. Kim Ji-young."

김태형 [29]

"If you keep not cooperating like this, it will be difficult for us too."

김지영 [29]

"No_ What are you going to do with a busy person holding you back!"

김지영 [29]

"There's nothing more rude than ignoring everyone else's schedule and summoning them."

김태형 [29]

"We didn't ignore Ms. Kim Ji-young's schedule. We summoned her because she was identified as a suspect in this case."

김지영 [29]

"You've been like this for 30 minutes. When will it ever end?"

김석진 [32]

"If you continue to be so uncooperative, we will consider Kim Ji-young a more likely suspect."

하여주 [28]

"Sorry I'm late."

김석진 [32]

"...Anyway, we can't help but be more suspicious of Kim Ji-young, who appears like this."

이태민 [32]

"Look, do we look that relaxed? Besides, we're honest people working at the Blue House."

하여주 [28]

"Integrity?"

하여주 [28]

"Is that what you're saying after receiving bribes from the President?"

이태민 [32]

"Wh, what? A bribe?!"

박지민 [29]

"Calm down, Officer."

하여주 [28]

"...Can I just say this one thing? I won't cross the line."

민윤기 [31]

"Yes. You have to say what you want to say. Since the delay was caused by your lack of cooperation with the investigation, let's just play around with it."

김지영 [29]

"What?!"

하여주 [28]

"If you add up the bribes, it's over a thousand, right?"

이태민 [32]

"Hey, Miss Police. It doesn't seem like you've been here long, so let's take it easy."

하여주 [28]

"No. I must do as much as my master has permitted."

김지영 [29]

"Huh_ How dare you be so fearless..."

하여주 [28]

"Eight years ago, before my grandparents passed away."

하여주 [28]

"You will remember Mr. Ha Yong-du and Ms. Park Soon-ja, as well as Mr. Lee Tae-min and Ms. Kim Ji-young."

이태민 [32]

"How do I remember your grandparents?!"

하여주 [28]

"No. You must remember. Then our grandparents' deaths will be less unfair."

하여주 [28]

"There will be sins floating around in your head."

하여주 [28]

"If you don't cooperate with this investigation right now, I'll have no choice but to give you the same thing back."

이태민 [32]

"Ha, this guy is really...!"

도범수 [45]

"I... finished cleaning at 9 PM the day before the incident and returned home."

김지영 [29]

"This guy really... is talking nonsense!"

도범수 [45]

"Then what do you want us to do? Let's hurry up and get off work."

김태형 [29]

"...Mr. Lee Tae-min, please follow me."

김태형 [29]

"I'm a police officer. Go and interrogate Mr. Lee Tae-min."

전정국 [27]

"yes."

김태형 [29]

"Mr. Do Beom-su... please follow Officer Ha to Interrogation Room 2."

김태형 [29]

"Ms. Kim Ji-young, please follow me to Interrogation Room 3."

김태형 [29]

"The rest of you, please go to the break room and rest while we interrogate you. You haven't been able to sleep."

김석진 [32]

"Yeah... well. I don't think I'll be able to close my eyes. Are you okay?"

김석진 [32]

"I'm worried because I'm leaving my children behind."

정호석 [30]

"I'm sure you'll do well. You'll do well, and you're doing well."

하여주 [28]

"Don't worry. I'll do it thoroughly."

민윤기 [31]

"I trust you and go. Don't miss it."

전정국 [27]

"See you later."

하여주 [28]

"I'll go to Interrogation Room 2-"

김태형 [29]

"If anything happens, radio me."

하여주 [28]

"yes-"

This is my first real job since recovering from my injury. I have to do it flawlessly and without any mistakes, and I have to be able to identify any inconsistencies. I don't want to be a burden on this team.

하여주 [28]

"Come in."

도범수 [45]

"...hello."

하여주 [28]

"Mr. Do Beom-su, 45 years old. Are you a cleaner at the Blue House?"

도범수 [45]

"yes."

하여주 [28]

"What were you doing the day before the incident?"

도범수 [45]

"I cleaned the basements as usual."

도범수 [45]

"If not cleaning during work hours, what else can you do?"

하여주 [28]

"Do you know anything about the secret safe?"

도범수 [45]

"What would I know? I can't even lift a finger when I'm cleaning."

...That's a bit odd. Since it's such an important item, I'm sure I trusted the cleaning staff, but I can't touch the safe. If even a little dust accumulates, I'll get scolded.

하여주 [28]

"...What do you think the criminal's method is?"

하여주 [28]

“This is our first time using this method, so it’s quite difficult.”

도범수 [45]

"...Well, I'm just a person who lives by cleaning."

하여주 [28]

"How do you think the culprit moved the safe?"

도범수 [45]

"Well, how did they move that big, heavy safe?"

도범수 [45]

"Wouldn't they have carried him on a stretcher and pushed him around?"

하여주 [28]

"But the cart wasn't even caught on CCTV. What do you think?"

도범수 [45]

"How can I move that heavy safe with my bare hands?"

도범수 [45]

"Wouldn't it be Taemin, who is stronger than someone weak like me?"

하여주 [28]

"...thank you."

하여주 [28]

"Thank you for your effort-"

도범수 [45]

"Yes, thank you to the police officer for his hard work."

하여주 [28]

"...yes."

하여주 [28]

"I'm here-"

김석진 [32]

"Yeah. They're all here."

민윤기 [31]

"Do you have all the recordings?"

전정국 [27]

"yes."

김남준 [30]

"Officer Ha. Send it to my email."

하여주 [28]

"yes."

김남준 [30]

"I've summarized the statements of all three people. Which one do you think is the most suspicious?"

김남준 [30]

"First of all, it seems that Mr. Lee Tae-min's main statement was, 'I've been so busy protecting the President that I haven't been able to go to the B3 floor recently.'"

김남준 [30]

"Mr. Do Beom-su said, 'I can't even touch it while I'm working. How can I lift that heavy safe?'"

김남준 [30]

"Ms. Kim Ji-young said, 'I've been here for six months, and my first visit was the day before the incident.'"

김남준 [30]

"What do you all think about these statements?"

전정국 [27]

"Based on the statements alone, it seems like Lee Tae-min is the most likely suspect."

전정국 [27]

"I received the President's schedule, but there was almost nothing on it."

전정국 [27]

"But I heard that Mr. Lee Tae-min was busy protecting the President..."

김석진 [32]

"Ms. Kim Ji-young is suspicious, too. Isn't half a year a long time? And with such an important position, there's no way she'd never been to floor B3."

정호석 [30]

"Compared to those two, Do Beom-su is relatively far from being a strong suspect."

정호석 [30]

“You’re a bit older than the two of you… and your position is also lower than the two of you.”

김태형 [29]

"Then, please tell me just one suspect you absolutely must summon by tomorrow. I'll summon only one of the majority."

박지민 [29]

"Okay... I started work early in the morning so I finished quickly."

02:31 PM

김태형 [29]

"Wow. We're having a company dinner, Inspector!"

김석진 [32]

"Shut up if you're not going to shoot."

김태형 [29]

"No... I could say I want to have a company dinner..."

The seniors were joking around, wondering if their work was finished. But... no matter how much I thought about it, something felt off. Do Beom-su said the seniors weren't particularly suspicious. But the part where he made his statement was definitely awkward.

Was it just me who felt that way? My seniors had more experience, so my intuition might be wrong... But more than anything, I couldn't remember which part of the statement I felt was strange.

하여주 [28]

"...under."

정호석 [30]

"Why are you sighing?"

하여주 [28]

"...yes?"

정호석 [30]

"You, you. Officer Ha. Why are you so serious?"

하여주 [28]

"...Ah. It's nothing."

민윤기 [31]

"Did you keep a secret from us?"

하여주 [28]

"...No. I'm just tired..."

김남준 [30]

"Yeah, you came back too quickly."

정호석 [30]

"Get off work and get some rest. We're done with our work, so I won't call you anymore today."

하여주 [28]

"...Yes. Thank you. Then..."

Ah. This isn't it... In the end, I turned around without saying anything. "Right. I'm not sure yet, so I'll tell you when I remember."

하여주 [28]

"Thank you for your hard work-"

Suddenly, it occurred to me that maybe it would have been better to just stay in the hospital. It's hard, it's hard...

Sorry for being late,, I didn't plan on ending it here, but I thought you'd wait, so I shortened the length and brought it 🙇‍♀️ Thanks to that, the number of episodes will increase,, Today's hint for the bait! Please pay attention to the suspects' statements! Thank you for waiting 💖
