Dangerous Investigation Diary

Ep. 44 ° General Hospital Ghost Doctor Case (4)

And so, the entire Gangwon 1 Team entered Kang Jeong-ho's office. Kang Jeong-ho and Yoo Bo-ra busily searched for documents, stacking them one by one on their desks. After about five minutes, Kang Jeong-ho's desk was piled high with documents.

김석진 [32]

"What is this...?"

강정호 [32]

"These are public information materials."

전정국 [27]

"Huh? What kind of public opinion..."

강정호 [32]

"The surrogate surgery you're suspecting... is actually happening."

강정호 [32]

"Other corruption, labor exploitation, intimidation, etc."

강정호 [32]

"I've been gathering all the materials I could for the past month."

강정호 [32]

"We've been hoping the authorities would reach out to us, and now that opportunity has finally arrived."

유보라 [24]

"This hospital is really crazy."

유보라 [24]

"It's not a hospital that has a good reputation, gets listed, gets paid, and is featured in the media."

유보라 [24]

"Please... help me."

민윤기 [31]

"Since when have you been collecting this data?"

강정호 [32]

"I started collecting on May 6th."

강정호 [32]

"There will be scraps of censored articles, personal information on victims of proxy surgery this year, the cause of death, and the events that occurred."

강정호 [32]

"As you saw earlier, there are a lot of enemies at the hospital, so I will send you more detailed information via text message."

강정호 [32]

"That... you took my business card last time..."

정호석 [30]

"Oh, yes. I will."

강정호 [32]

"Can I have your phone number?"

정호석 [30]

"Here it is."

When Officer Jeong handed Kang Jeong-ho a note with a phone number on it, he immediately saved it to his phone and then put it in the shredder behind his desk. He forced a smile at several bewildered team members and told them that this was just the way things were at this hospital.

유보라 [24]

"Oh, that... Would you like to take a look around our hospital?"

유보라 [24]

"You won't get much out of exploring hospitals anyway."

유보라 [24]

"The gag order is so thorough that everyone, from doctors to staff to patients, is being kept silent..."

유보라 [24]

"But if you don't go to the hospital, you'll be suspected, so I think it would be better if you follow me and pretend to do so."

박지민 [29]

"thank you."

강정호 [32]

"Could you please split the group?"

김석진 [32]

"Joy?"

강정호 [32]

"Yes. We'll go back and review these materials. So, let's investigate the hospital..."

강정호 [32]

“If you go around the hospital with the materials, they might be taken away.”

김석진 [32]

"Oh, yes."

김석진 [32]

"Guys, I'll make a team for you."

김석진 [32]

"Data investigation team. Officer Min, Officer Kim, Officer Park, and Officer Ha."

김석진 [32]

"Hospital investigation team. Inspector Kim, Sergeant Jeong, Sergeant Kim, and Patrolman Jeon."

김석진 [32]

"People who want to change teams."

김석진 [32]

"...No? Then,"

강정호 [32]

"Who is the detective who spoke to me before?"

정호석 [30]

"I'm leaving."

강정호 [32]

"Sergeant Jeong, is that right? Would you like to stay in the examination room with me and talk for a moment?"

정호석 [30]

"...yes?"

김석진 [32]

"Is there a reason?"

강정호 [32]

"There are some parts of the story that haven't been finished."

강정호 [32]

"Can I just do that until the hospital investigation is over?"

김석진 [32]

"...Well, it doesn't really matter since it's not a proper investigation anyway."

김석진 [32]

"Is Officer Jeong okay?"

정호석 [30]

"...Yes, it's okay."

김석진 [32]

"Okay, then."

김석진 [32]

"Except for Officer Jeong, the rest will move according to the team I gave you earlier."

Even though Officer Jeong had nothing to say, Kang Jeong-ho continued to stare at him, as if he had something to say. Officer Jeong continued to avoid his gaze, and only after his team members and Yoo Bo-ra left did he sit down in the chair in front of Kang Jeong-ho. Without even speaking, Officer Jeong's eyes trembled involuntarily.

강정호 [32]

"Sergeant Jeong Ho-seok."

정호석 [30]

"yes?"

강정호 [32]

"Have you prepared the doctor?"

And Mr. Kang Jeong-ho's question stopped Officer Jeong's trembling eyes and forced him to look him in the eye. Now, Officer Jeong had more questions for Mr. Kang Jeong-ho.

Meanwhile, Superintendent Kim, Chief Kim, Patrolman Jeon, and even Ms. Yoo Bo-ra, who were assigned to the hospital investigation team, were touring the new general hospital, pretending to conduct an investigation. This was because Ms. Yoo Bo-ra had said that all the hospital staff were in league with the director and would be on high alert.

김석진 [32]

"...But why did you want to become a doctor?"

유보라 [24]

"Ah... I've been in poor health since I was little."

유보라 [24]

"I don't know if it's genetic or what, but my mother passed away from poor health when I was seven."

유보라 [24]

“Those things made me want to be healthy, so I naturally thought about becoming a doctor.”

김태형 [29]

"...I see."

김태형 [29]

"What image does the new general hospital have for aspiring doctors?"

유보라 [24]

"It's a dream job, an object of envy and respect."

유보라 [24]

"Everyone wants to work here."

유보라 [24]

"...The more so, the more the truth about this place must be made known to everyone."

As she spoke, Yu Bo-ra's eyes remained firm and unwavering, and her team members remained silent afterward. It occurred to them that the entanglements were far more complex and complex than they had imagined.

Meanwhile, back at the BU Police Station office, the investigation team piled the documents they'd shared beside them and began meticulously reading them page by page. Most of the data, in addition to the proxy surgeries that Officer Kim had presented to the director, covered numerous other proxy surgeries and the resulting medical accidents.

The process of embezzling large sums of money, which clearly reveals how the hospital was run, the circumstances of the illegal exploitation of the labor of medical students, the list of medical students who protested against proxy surgery, the threats made against them, and ultimately the end of that medical student.

Among the list of medical students who opposed proxy surgery was Yoo Bo-ra. Compared to other medical students who usually quit their careers, she is still working at the hospital, so it seems she has been quietly expressing her opposition by gathering information behind the scenes.

민윤기 [31]

"Organize the materials you've each read into a large file."

민윤기 [31]

"Write a summary too. I'll have to brief the rest of the kids when they come in later."

박지민 [29]

"all right."

김남준 [30]

"I see several people have died on the list of medical students..."

김남준 [30]

"It seems like killing people who couldn't shut their mouths by making them quit being doctors is killing them."

하여주 [28]

"The scale of the incident is larger than expected."

하여주 [28]

"Not only the department where the proxy surgery mentioned earlier occurred, but almost all departments have a history of medical accidents."

하여주 [28]

"Maybe this entire hospital is just running on proxy surgeries."

박지민 [29]

"So we have to hurry."

박지민 [29]

"So that there are no more victims."

The data research team organized and analyzed data to the point where it required overtime, but no one would have thought it was a hassle or a bother. They knew if they didn't act now, they might not be able to fix it at some point.

Back in Kang Jeong-ho's office. After Kang Jeong-ho's question, Sergeant Jeong simply stared at him with a questioning look, as if asking how he knew. He didn't respond, so Kang Jeong-ho took a bundle of documents out of a drawer and placed them on his desk.

정호석 [30]

"...What is this?"

강정호 [32]

“I’ve been worried about it ever since that day, so I looked it up a bit and found it.”

강정호 [32]

"You were a medical student and even did an internship four years ago, so why are you a police officer now?"

The document Kang Jeong-ho presented was a graduation certificate, seemingly obtained from Sergeant Jeong's alma mater. The three letters of his name, clearly marked "medical school," blocked Sergeant Jeong's excuses. Another document...

정호석 [30]

".....newspaper article."

The feud between Detective Lee and Detective Jeong was a major topic of conversation in the medical community. At the time, the real reason for their breakup wasn't Detective Lee's simple obsession, but rather a case of unprecedented scale, involving stalking, threats, kidnapping, and attempted murder that bordered on criminality.

During this process, Officer Jeong nearly lost his parents, who were still struggling with the emotional trauma. Furthermore, when Officer Jeong couldn't be reached, Officer Lee burned down his study room, causing Officer Jeong to lose all his study materials and fail his exam.

Their feud was too much of a simple love squabble to be dismissed as a mere love affair; every single incident was meticulously detailed and filled the front page of the newspaper. The incident was so old, and even the team hadn't yet discovered the article, that Detective Jeong's gaze turned to disgust.

정호석 [30]

“Are you doing background checks on me?”

강정호 [32]

"If you don't do this, I know you won't tell me."

강정호 [32]

"Do you feel like talking to me now?"

정호석 [30]

"No. I don't want to talk to someone who asks me to talk in such a threatening way."

강정호 [32]

"Then how about something else?"

정호석 [30]

"...yes?"

강정호 [32]

“Aren’t you curious as to why I did this?”

강정호 [32]

"As you'll see when we return to our briefings, we absolutely need Sergeant Jeong's help to solve this case."

강정호 [32]

"To do that, you shouldn't set the date like this."

정호석 [30]

"...Ha, over there."

강정호 [32]

"Do you still have the business card I gave you?"

강정호 [32]

"Please listen to the briefing and then contact me again."

강정호 [32]

"I'll tell you the rest of the story then."

Detective Jeong gritted his teeth and clenched his fists at Kang Jeong-ho's words, whose intentions were incomprehensible from start to finish. Not only did he dig up the past, but he was also toying with it like this. Of all the people involved in the case, he was the worst.

In the end, without even responding to Kang Jeong-ho's last words, Detective Jeong abruptly stood up and left the examination room. Kang Jeong-ho, as if anticipating this reaction, slowly nodded and tucked the bundle of documents deep inside. It was the last courtesy he could offer Detective Jeong regarding his personal circumstances.

While Team 1, Kang Jeong-ho, and Yoo Bo-ra were busy, the new general hospital director's office was filled with the director, Yang Shin-im, and Jeong Hyeon-seok, who had previously been involved in a dispute with Yoo Bo-ra. They were also discussing something secretly.

In Jeong Hyeon-seok's hand was none other than Yoo Bo-ra's study notebook. Nestled within it was a public disclosure plan, a document Yoo Bo-ra treasured more than her own body. The source of the notebook remains unknown, but Jeong Hyeon-seok had already handed it over to Yang Shin-im.

양신임 [49]

"Yeah. What did you bring today?"

정현석 [24]

"I got some study notes from Yu Bora's cabinet last time, and there was something like this among them."

정현석 [24]

"It's so annoying that they've been plotting this behind my back."

양신임 [49]

"Huh... what is this?"

정현석 [24]

"Maybe they're already on the same side as those cops."

정현석 [24]

"When I came here earlier, there were already police officers following me."

양신임 [49]

"Yoo Bo-ra... I let her go because she was kind and honest."

양신임 [49]

"It won't work. We have to completely wipe it out."

양신임 [49]

"Let's proceed with that."

정현석 [24]

"all right."

At Yang Shin-im's request to proceed with the unknown subject, Jeong Hyeon-seok said he understood and left the director's office. Yang Shin-im, who carefully examined the public notice paper and then crumpled it, foreshadowed the events to come.

Sorry for being late 🥺 I cut down on the amount so you might be waiting... 🥹 The college entrance exam is getting closer and the application deadline is approaching, so I don't have much time to relax, so I think there's a gap in the series 🥲 But I'll do my best and take responsibility and see it through to the end!

Thank you for watching today and I love you, Adi 💙💙
