Dangerous Investigation Diary

Ep. 53 ° Strong Team 1, Remaining Missions

All of the members of Team 1, the Strongest, came to Seokjin's house, and out of consideration for Yeoju, the only woman, they had already taken her home and told her to change into her uniform. The other team members could just borrow Seokjin's clothes, but Yeoju couldn't do that.

They sat around the living room table, saying that they would speak honestly without resorting to alcohol. Soon, the female protagonist arrived, and Seokjin began to carefully choose his words to say. What words would not hurt anyone, and would convey his sincerity?

김석진 [32]

"...I think everyone has noticed that the atmosphere in our team has been strange for the past few weeks."

김석진 [32]

"It's not just because of the seriousness of the situation."

김석진 [32]

"I... don't know where it went wrong."

김석진 [32]

"Sergeant Jeong only had a conflict with Officer Ha, but it suddenly spread to the entire team..."

김석진 [32]

"In the past, it was understandable and I would have let it go, but it's also annoying to find fault with each and every thing..."

김석진 [32]

"As for the ban on leaving the country... that too."

김석진 [32]

"Shouldn't we have believed in them as much as they believed in us catching them?"

김석진 [32]

"Why on earth..."

박지민 [29]

"I... You all know how we felt that day."

박지민 [29]

"I just wanted you to understand my feelings a little."

박지민 [29]

"But that wasn't it..."

박지민 [29]

"Wasn't it because you didn't trust us that you cried as soon as you got to the hospital that day?"

정호석 [30]

"...That's not it."

정호석 [30]

"It's true that I got emotional while talking and ended up accepting it without thinking..."

정호석 [30]

"But I still believed in you. Because you guys could do it."

정호석 [30]

"But... when I actually got the call and went to the hospital, he had passed out after getting an IV..."

정호석 [30]

"That was really hard to bear. They were tears of regret and pain."

정호석 [30]

"I'm a doctor... I prepared, so I know very well how much you have to run to get dehydrated."

정호석 [30]

"That's why I'm even more sorry. Like you said, Jimin... I think he was just slacking off in the west."

박지민 [29]

"The person who knows that now..."

박지민 [29]

"You tell me."

박지민 [29]

"Do you think the same as Hoseok hyung?"

하여주 [28]

".....I am..."

김남준 [30]

"Calm down and talk, Park Jimin."

박지민 [29]

"Tell me."

김남준 [30]

"hey."

하여주 [28]

"I was the one who went to see the chief of police first."

박지민 [29]

"...what?"

하여주 [28]

"There must be an old man too, he was trying to threaten me."

하여주 [28]

"I didn't want to ask for your help anymore, so I just went to the police station to try to persuade you."

하여주 [28]

"Hoseok oppa came with me because he didn't want to send me alone."

하여주 [28]

"Did Jimin oppa send a picture to Hoseok oppa back then?"

하여주 [28]

"Photo of text messages between Seong Ye-jun and Jeon Seo-jun."

하여주 [28]

"Thanks to that, I was promoted to the rank of Chief of Police, and thanks to that, I was banned from leaving the country and the criminal was caught."

하여주 [28]

"If you think about it, my brother also participated, so it's a bit much to be this angry...!"

At that moment, Jimin grabbed Yeoju by the collar as if he was excited, and the team members next to him were surprised and pulled Jimin away from Yeoju. Despite his brothers getting angry, Jimin couldn't calm down and continued to yell.

박지민 [29]

"What do you know that makes you say it's my fault!!"

Jimin's eyes, filled with tears, glared at Yeoju, and they were extremely murderous. In the end, Taehyung dragged Jimin out of Seokjin's house for a while, and the people who remained were worried about Yeoju's condition. When he looked at Yeoju's neck, it was slightly strangled and swollen.

민윤기 [31]

".....Ha, I really..."

김석진 [32]

"Hold on. Hoseok, bring the first aid kit."

정호석 [30]

"uh..."

He gave her a quick treatment and added that he should apply medicine regularly just in case there was a scar. The female protagonist was thinking to herself that she just had to avoid getting caught by the old man. If she did get caught by the old man... then it would be really irreversible.

After a while, Jimin came in, who had calmed down, and Taehyung followed him in. Jimin apologized to Yeoju, and Yeoju accepted his apology. However, the quiet atmosphere still did not lift.

민윤기 [31]

"...Ho-seok, I know you did that because you trusted us."

민윤기 [31]

"Still, Jimin's words aren't completely wrong."

민윤기 [31]

"You've been in the field too, so you know what it's like to meet high-ranking officials like us."

민윤기 [31]

"So, be careful about that in the future."

민윤기 [31]

"You too, Lady, you can't meet high-ranking officials so carelessly."

민윤기 [31]

"If we happen to fall out of favor with them... I really hate to even imagine it."

민윤기 [31]

"So, everyone should be careful about this."

All three nodded to Yoongi's neutral stance, and the situation seemed to have come to an end. Even if each of them had some scars on their hearts. However... there was still one problem that had not been resolved.

전정국 [27]

"...Didn't you already sort it out with Sister Lee Soo-dam?"

정호석 [30]

"Ah... You're only saying that now."

When Jungkook asked about his relationship with Soodam in a voice that had become extremely cold, Hoseok drank a glass of water and opened his mouth before answering, as if he had a lot to say.

정호석 [30]

"...I stopped preparing to become a doctor, blocked all of his contacts, and immediately started preparing to become a police officer."

정호석 [30]

"But somehow he knew that, he also prepared for the police exam and passed around the same time."

정호석 [30]

"Well, at first... I thought I could just ignore them, but we ended up meeting more often than I thought. Unfortunately, we were on the same powerful team."

정호석 [30]

"I guess he also acted like a stalker of mine."

정호석 [30]

"That day, I brought a cleverly taken photo of the wound that was being treated and made a fuss."

정호석 [30]

"I guess he thought he had it. I breathed on him to kill him, so he must have been poisoned."

정호석 [30]

"I said I had everything sorted out so you wouldn't have to worry, but it ended up doing more harm than good."

정호석 [30]

"I'm so sorry about this..."

When Ho-seok explained to his team members what had happened that he had kept hidden, they all nodded their heads as if they understood. It was true that small misunderstandings had piled up and caused a big ripple effect. Now, the first team of the strong team had to do the remaining work.

김석진 [32]

"I didn't tell you guys because I thought it was more important for me to talk about this..."

김석진 [32]

"Mr. Kang Jeong-ho woke up."

김태형 [29]

"Wow, really?!"

전정국 [27]

"I'd like to visit you in the hospital!"

Seokjin, who felt somewhat uneasy yet relieved that our rift was being quickly resolved in this way, smiled as the team leader and said that he would go see them tomorrow and that they should sleep over at his house. The team members who agreed to that began to get ready.

Really... is everything healed?

The next day, the 1st team of the Violent Crimes Unit, dressed in casual clothes, went to Kang Jeong-ho’s hospital room at Korea University Hospital. Fortunately, Kang Jeong-ho was in a much better condition, so he greeted the team members warmly and began talking about the incident he had wanted to talk about the most.

강정호 [32]

"I was on my way to tell you that Bora was gone, but it turned out like this..."

강정호 [32]

"I'm sorry I unintentionally made a big deal out of it."

김석진 [32]

"No, we couldn't look into it any further."

And, Ho-seok, who could not come to the hospital room often because he would feel mentally broken and cry just by looking at Kang Jung-ho, finally met Kang Jung-ho. Kang Jung-ho found Ho-seok, who was timidly standing behind his teammates, and opened his mouth with a bright smile.

강정호 [32]

"Oh, Mr. Jung Ho-seok! Are you right?"

강정호 [32]

"I've waited so long-"

강정호 [32]

"I'm sorry that I spoke so suddenly that day and made you feel uneasy."

김태형 [29]

"If it weren't for Detective Jeong, we wouldn't have been able to solve our case."

강정호 [32]

"You finally did it. I believed in you."

As Kang Jeong-ho spoke with eyes full of trust, Ho-seok held back his tears and repeated his thanks several times. He had promised himself hundreds of things to do when he woke up, but when he actually met him, these were the only words that came out. But that was enough.

정호석 [30]

"I realized what Kang Jeong-ho said too late, so I found the courage too late..."

정호석 [30]

"Still, the only reason I was able to muster up the courage was thanks to Kang Jeong-ho."

정호석 [30]

"thank you..."

강정호 [32]

"No, thank you for continuing to consider my intentions."

김남준 [30]

"Oh, and... the new general hospital has suspended operations."

김남준 [30]

"So there are a ton of inquiries about hiring the medical staff there."

김남준 [30]

"Are you going to continue to practice medicine?"

강정호 [32]

"Of course. It's not that I hated this job, it's that I hated that hospital."

강정호 [32]

"As long as I can find a hospital that is clean and sincere to its patients, I will be happy."

김남준 [30]

"It's good that you brought your business card."

강정호 [32]

"A business card?"

김남준 [30]

"As this incident became public, the doctor who received attention together was Kang Jeong-ho, and the intern was Yoo Bo-ra."

김남준 [30]

"These are the contact information of the hospitals that contacted us because they wanted to take Mr. Kang Jeong-ho."

강정호 [32]

"Wow... This is the first time I've received this kind of attention."

강정호 [32]

"My dream since I was young was to work at a general hospital, so I never thought about working anywhere else..."

강정호 [32]

"I will think carefully and continue working. Thank you so much."

Kang Jeong-ho looked over the business cards with eyes full of joy, then his expression hardened as if he remembered something, and he opened his mouth. Since the story was about Yoo Bo-ra, the 1st Violent Crimes Team’s happy expressions could not help but change quickly. Since she was the only deceased left behind by the 1st Violent Crimes Team in the case.

강정호 [32]

"I heard the news about Bora."

강정호 [32]

"Those guys are always going to end up ruining someone."

강정호 [32]

"How was the funeral?"

박지민 [29]

"...Currently, we plan to complete the autopsy by tomorrow and hand over the body to the bereaved family."

박지민 [29]

"It seems like the compensation support will be removed from the new general hospital..."

박지민 [29]

"We are receiving a lot of donations from all over the country. Not only for Yoo Bo-ra, but also for Kang Jeong-ho."

강정호 [32]

"...Bora is the one who spent time with me, dreaming of this moment together."

강정호 [32]

"I'm embarrassed to accept donations."

강정호 [32]

"I would like to pass on all the donations that come my way to Bora and help with the funeral as well."

강정호 [32]

"Can I get Bora's parents' contact information?"

하여주 [28]

"...But, that won't be easy. Are you okay with that?"

하여주 [28]

"Mr. Kang Jeong-ho's current physical condition is like that... and if he transfers hospitals, there will be pay issues as well."

강정호 [32]

"I've already earned all the money I can make as a doctor. The amount of love I can receive has also reached its limit."

강정호 [32]

“The reason I started this in the first place was to help other people.”

강정호 [32]

"Bora has been my lifelong companion and benefactor, and I would like to repay that favor."

Seok-jin, as if he had no choice but to listen to Kang Jeong-ho's words, wrote the contact information for Yoo Bo-ra's parents on a piece of paper and gave it to them. Kang Jeong-ho smiled at Seok-jin and immediately contacted Yoo Bo-ra's parents, and thus, another mission ended.

A few days later, after Yu Bo-ra's funeral was held, our team applied for vacation on their own. We thought we should create a system where vacations are automatically granted after solving a large-scale incident. It was something that a real person would do.

하여주 [28]

"Ah... Really still..."

The reason I sighed while looking at the vanity mirror in my room was because a few days ago, when the conversation got heated, Jimin grabbed me by the collar and strangled me, and my neck was red and swollen, and the scar hasn't gone away yet. If I get caught when my uncle comes back from his business trip tonight...

In the end, I secretly brought an ice pack and put it on my neck, and just in case, I even took out a turtleneck and wore it. It may have seemed excessive, but I had no choice but to do it because if I didn't do this, it was only a matter of time before I got caught.

After a few minutes of being like that, I could faintly hear the door lock from outside and the man's voice could be heard faintly asking the housekeeper where I was. I couldn't stand it any longer, so I checked my clothes before leaving and turned the doorknob.

하여주 [28]

"Are you here?"

윤도운 [35]

"Yeah. You're on vacation?"

하여주 [28]

"Yes... did you see the news?"

윤도운 [35]

"Yeah. I'm on a business trip, and that's why the emergency was called."

윤도운 [35]

"It was hard to send and receive news across the sea."

윤도운 [35]

“You must have worked hard too. You’ve had a hard time.”

하여주 [28]

"Thank you, you too, sir."

윤도운 [35]

"Yeah... but why the turtleneck? That kid gets hot easily."

That's right. Even in the middle of winter, I'd chew on ice because it's hot when the heater is on, but I'm getting a sore throat in this early summer weather... I was suspicious. I expected it.

하여주 [28]

"Ah... I just have nothing to wear."

윤도운 [35]

"Are you tired of your short-sleeved shirt? Should I buy you a new one?"

하여주 [28]

"Oh, no! It's okay!"

As I shook my head vigorously and waved my hand, the man stopped what he was doing and looked at me. He then gave me his spare short-sleeved shirt and told me to change and come out. When I stubbornly refused to answer, saying that it was really okay, the man threw the shirt on the sofa and pulled down the neck shirt that was covering my neck.

I stepped back in surprise, but I couldn't shake off the old man's suspicions, and eventually the scarf went down to the scar. The old man's eyes grew cold and he looked at me for a long time. It was so harsh that I felt his gaze.

하여주 [28]

"Uh... Sir, that's..."

윤도운 [35]

"...What, is that the culprit? Or..."

윤도운 [35]

"He's one of those great seniors."

The old man, who had never once criticized his seniors, spoke sarcastic words to them, his voice full of strength. I was certain that this incident would not go unnoticed.
