Dangerous Investigation Diary

Ep. 64 ° Prestigious Kindergarten Child Abuse Case (7)

The next morning, we called Park Yoon-hee to the office of Team 1 of the Violent Crimes Unit in order to conduct an undercover investigation of the Somang Kindergarten. We wanted to make sure that there were no problems with the investigation by clearly conveying our intentions and plans. This was especially true because we were not conducting the investigation ourselves.

박윤희 [35]

"Hello, detectives."

민윤기 [32]

"Oh, you're here?"

민윤기 [32]

"Please sit here."

김석진 [33]

"Sergeant Kim. Tell Park Yoon-hee the same investigation plan you sent me yesterday."

김남준 [31]

"all right."

김남준 [31]

"Ms. Park Yoon-hee, please look at the whiteboard."

박윤희 [35]

"yes."

When Ms. Park Yoon-hee came into the office, we guided her to the round desk, and Sergeant Kim prepared to brief her on the undercover investigation plan we had devised yesterday.

김남준 [31]

"We will begin briefing on the undercover investigation plan for Somang Kindergarten."

김남준 [31]

"First of all... please tell me how many parents gathered."

박윤희 [35]

"I think there were about twenty people gathered."

박윤희 [35]

"I'm sorry. It's too little..."

김남준 [31]

"No, it's much more than we expected. Thank you."

김남준 [31]

"Please come in for an emergency inspection with those parents around 12pm."

김남준 [31]

"If several people enter at the same time, it will not be possible to refuse."

김남준 [31]

"Please go in and carefully check all areas that children can reach, such as children's play equipment, eating utensils, etc."

김남준 [31]

"Photos and videos are the most effective as evidence, but if you take them secretly, you could be in trouble if you get caught..."

김남준 [31]

"I recommend that you just go in with a camera and say that it's for recording purposes."

김남준 [31]

"And this investigation is one that will uncover evidence of child abuse in children."

김남준 [31]

"But please keep this fact a complete secret from your parents."

김남준 [31]

"The fact that something is going on at Somang Kindergarten is already widely known among parents."

김남준 [31]

"Most people, for various reasons, do not want this fact to be known to the police."

김남준 [31]

"I am keeping quiet for the sake of cooperation, so I would appreciate it if you could cooperate as well, Ms. Park Yoon-hee."

김남준 [31]

"I've made a checklist of things to check, so please give one to each parent."

김남준 [31]

"We know we'll be treated coldly if we go, so we're asking you to take care of us despite our shame."

박윤희 [35]

"Oh, no. Thank you..."

김남준 [31]

"Is there anything you don't understand?"

박윤희 [35]

"No, there isn't."

김남준 [31]

"Then... please sign this contract."

김남준 [31]

"It's nothing special. Since you're investigating on our behalf, we'll provide a reward, a condition of silence, etc..."

김남준 [31]

"Please read slowly and sign."

박윤희 [35]

"What are you asking for the compensation money for... I'm fine."

김남준 [31]

"No, that's not true. We have to do it this way so that no one will gossip about it later."

박윤희 [35]

"thank you..."

김석진 [33]

"Is the briefing over?"

김남준 [31]

"Yes, it's all done. Just sign."

김석진 [33]

"Excuse me, did you come by car?"

박윤희 [35]

"yes yes."

김석진 [33]

"Oh, I see."

김석진 [33]

"Once you sign, Ms. Park Yoon-hee, I will escort you to the first floor."

전정국 [28]

"all right."

김남준 [31]

"Oh, and when you're done investigating, you have to come and report to us."

박윤희 [35]

"yes."

정호석 [31]

"What should we do until then?"

Since there was no time left until the undercover investigation was completed, we decided to take our time and meet back at the office by 2 p.m. The former police officer took Park Yoon-hee out after she had finished signing the contract. It was to prepare for any possible danger.

Because he had a hard time seeing Park Yoon-hee, the former officer felt guilty just by facing her, so he couldn't even make eye contact with her and was seeing her off. Park Yoon-hee noticed the former officer and spoke to him cautiously.

박윤희 [35]

"I heard from other people. They said that you were the one who took the most care of me after that..."

전정국 [28]

"Ah... yes. That's right."

박윤희 [35]

"I hope you don't feel guilty, no matter what the reason."

박윤희 [35]

"It's not the detectives' fault at all."

전정국 [28]

"...if only we had gathered earlier and investigated more carefully."

전정국 [28]

"There would have been no such scandal as this, where even ordinary people are being entrusted with the investigation."

전정국 [28]

"It was our fault. We're sorry."

박윤희 [35]

"Oh, no!"

박윤희 [35]

"It's a system that will end without any problems as long as you make sure to compensate and keep the secret well."

박윤희 [35]

"Since the PTA usually conducts surprise inspections, I don't think they will be suspicious."

전정국 [28]

".....still..."

박윤희 [35]

"I just... wish all children, including my younger brother, could grow up in a slightly better environment."

박윤희 [35]

“And I feel so fortunate that I, who was indifferent to children’s work, can help them in this way.”

박윤희 [35]

"thank you."

At the few kind words from Park Yoon-hee, the former officer broke down and sat down in the hallway crying, and Park Yoon-hee consoled him. Still, something must have touched the former officer, and he continued to pour out his feelings for a long time, and the sound may have reached the office of the 1st Violent Crimes Unit.

After the storm passed, the PTA led by Park Yoon-hee made a surprise visit to Somang Kindergarten. The director and the kindergarten teachers were flustered, but as Officer Kim had predicted, they judged that they could not kick out about 20 children, so they allowed the parents into the kindergarten.

박윤희 [35]

"I want to go and inspect the entire kindergarten."

박윤희 [35]

"I would appreciate your cooperation."

한서인 [40]

"Oh, yes..."

한서인 [40]

"Mother, by any chance... Are you here on someone's request?"

박윤희 [35]

"There's no way something like that could happen when the PTA is visiting."

박윤희 [35]

"Well then, excuse me for a moment."

As Ms. Park Yoon-hee had previously announced, parents began to go to various kindergartens to inspect the facilities. Because of the parents who came without any plans, Ms. Han Seo-in could only bite her lips and say nothing.

The place that Ms. Park Yoon-hee was in charge of was a restaurant. Since Oh Yeon-hu’s statement included that the food tasted strange, Ms. Park Yoon-hee had to go into the restaurant. Ms. Park Yoon-hee entered the restaurant and started looking at the tableware.

Originally, we brought our own cutlery from home, but one day, the kindergarten announced that they would be providing cutlery from now on and asked us not to bring our own cutlery. No parents objected because they didn't have to wash the dishes, but...

Although the cutlery looked very clean, Park Yoon-hee secretly put a set of cutlery in a ziploc bag because the color of the cutlery looked dull. She wanted to at least get it appraised. She also put the plate in it just in case.

Parents went into the room and collected the toys and books that the children were playing with, and they swept the dust off the bookshelves and shelves with tissue paper, even collecting the tissue paper. The teachers and the principal were really embarrassed by the parents who came in out of nowhere.

한서인 [40]

"Hey, parents... if you do this, the kids..."

“What? Aren’t the kids supposed to be playing outside now?”

한서인 [40]

"That's true... yes..."

The director's trick was quickly buried by the parents who already knew their children's schedules. After about two hours of searching the entire kindergarten, the parents, including Park Yoon-hee, gathered in the lobby.

박윤희 [35]

"Thank you all for your hard work."

박윤희 [35]

"I would also like to thank the kindergarten staff for their cooperation."

한서인 [40]

"...Yes. Thank you for always caring for me."

박윤희 [35]

"Then let's go."

As the parents returned home with their hands full of things they had collected, Director Han Seo-in finally felt relieved. At the same time, her eyes filled with anxiety shone in the expensive lights of the kindergarten.

Meanwhile, the 1st team of the strong team decided to spend time together. Inspector Min visited the office of the 1st team of the scientific investigation where he had been working for a long time. It was like going to see Inspector Kang Young-hyun, who had been leading Inspector Min, who had been having a hard time adjusting to the work that he liked.

강영현 [32]

"Oh! What is it~"

민윤기 [32]

"Long time no see. How have you been?"

As it turned out, the two were the same age and had entered the same position, but they were on different teams and had not known each other, so they started talking naturally. Inspector Kang stared intently at the investigation results documents that had been handed over this time, and when he saw Inspector Min, he smiled brightly and greeted him.

강영현 [32]

"Hey, how have you been? What's going on during work hours?"

민윤기 [32]

"It's time for us to take a short break."

강영현 [32]

"Ah~"

강영현 [32]

"Oh, right. Did you see what was on the news today?"

민윤기 [32]

"What news?"

강영현 [32]

"News that Team 1 is back."

민윤기 [32]

"...Ah. Are you only finding that out now?"

강영현 [32]

"I think so."

강영현 [32]

"The article said, 'The Return of the King.'"

민윤기 [32]

"...How are the citizens reacting?"

강영현 [32]

"These days, they're asking me to catch those loaches, you know."

강영현 [32]

"You and your team members must be burdened."

민윤기 [32]

"I know..."

민윤기 [32]

"Something... I don't remember whether I felt it was too much or too burdensome to gain that kind of fame."

민윤기 [32]

"I guess that's because these days I'm just trying to focus on solving cases."

민윤기 [32]

"I used to feel burdened by that kind of attention, but now I don't know what it feels like."

강영현 [32]

"That could mean you've become dull."

강영현 [32]

"I want to do something for you. And for the other team members too."

강영현 [32]

"It's a daily occurrence that people's attention is drawn to articles blaming you, which are dragged into the news every day..."

강영현 [32]

"I didn't call the police to do this."

민윤기 [32]

"...Right. There was a reason why I applied for the science position."

강영현 [32]

"So, work to the extent that you are happy."

강영현 [32]

"Make sure your work isn't just fun, but also something to look forward to tomorrow."

강영현 [32]

"Do you know what I mean?"

민윤기 [32]

"...Thank you for giving me some perspective. Thank you."

강영현 [32]

"What? Go quickly."

강영현 [32]

"Contact me, let's grab a meal later."

민윤기 [32]

"What about rice... I'll be sick of it in six months."

강영현 [32]

"You never know~ Why are you acting so detached?"

민윤기 [32]

"...Okay. You can eat it sometime."

민윤기 [32]

"I'm going first."

Finally, after hearing the news that the 1st Violent Crimes Unit had been summoned, and having decided on a motto for his future as a police officer, Superintendent Min left the office of the 1st Scientific Investigation Unit with a very relaxed look. He felt as if he could overcome any kind of fear.

At the appointed 2 o'clock, all the team members gathered in the office. At exactly 2:30, Ms. Park Yoon-hee arrived at the office with her hands full of luggage. Seeing her, Officer Jeon quickly got up and helped her carry her luggage.

전정국 [28]

"Thank you for your hard work."

박윤희 [35]

"No. I've collected everything I can."

김석진 [33]

"Thank you, Park Yoon-hee."

김석진 [33]

"You may come in and take a look."

김석진 [33]

"We will do our best to bring you good news soon."

박윤희 [35]

"Yes. Good work, everyone."

After Park Yoon-hee left the office, we were relieved. Now, we had to hand these over to the scientific investigation team and wait at least a week for the results to come out... We could breathe a little easier until then. It was Detective Min's job to separate the collected items into several ziploc bags while wearing gloves.

김석진 [33]

"Detective Min, can you hand that over today?"

민윤기 [32]

"Yes, it is possible."

김석진 [33]

"Then... we have to wait at least a week."

김석진 [33]

"Everyone spends that time on their own."

김석진 [33]

"Anyway, entering kindergarten is now impossible by any means."

김석진 [33]

"It's impossible for us to go in, let alone use the PTA."

김석진 [33]

"Just keep an eye on the organization's dynamics, and go back to the original team to assist them."

김남준 [31]

"all right."

The investigation is not completely over, but the investigation of the Violent Investigation Team 1, which has been going on for a year, has entered a brief period of rest. It was a time when everyone was looking forward to how they would spend their time. The television in the quiet office was on, and the news of the Violent Investigation Team 1’s return was playing at just the right time.

"Did you all hear about the very surprising fact that the BU Police Department announced today? They said that in order to calm the social chaos these days, the Violent Crimes Unit 1, which was disbanded a year ago, has been reassembled as an emergency measure."

"4 years ago, when it first started, cases were pouring in exponentially, and Team 1 of Violent Crimes is returning around the same time. The whole nation is paying attention to whether they will be able to prevent chaos this time as well."

Some of the team members who were listening to the news tightly closed their eyes. Thinking that each of these comments would be broadcast nationwide, it felt like a heavy stone was weighing down on us. We were the ones who desperately needed mental stability.

'The Myungmun Kindergarten Child Abuse Case 👧🏻' will be postponed for a while due to the period of scientific investigation results of the evidence collected at Somang Kindergarten! Instead, we would like to listen to the stories and current psychology of the members of Team 1 of the Violent Crimes Unit ☺️

One of the big changes in season 2 is that since each of the new teams has a new character, they will be a strong support group and a mental pillar for our strong team 1 members, and I want to show you some of that 🤗 And a bigger... story too... 🫢

Thank you for your great anticipation and for watching me today, Adi 🩵🩵🩵
