Dangerous Investigation Diary

Ep. 67 ° Prestigious Kindergarten Child Abuse Case (8)

After about 8 days, Team 1 of the Violent Crimes Unit gathered at the office at 9 a.m. when they heard the scientific investigation results. Everyone was half-asleep because they had rushed out right after receiving the call, and some people had hair that looked like magpies. Since they were going to work to check the results anyway, they didn’t really care about that appearance.

김석진 [33]

"Thank you for coming out when I called you so suddenly."

김석진 [33]

"I'm sure you had a good week of rest..."

김석진 [33]

"Let's see the results right away."

Sergeant Kim, who had been contacted first, opened the envelope containing the results at dawn and took out the bundle of documents inside. The documents that had been sent to us were as numerous as the evidence that had been sent.

김남준 [31]

".....uh?"

As Officer Kim was roughly scanning the documents with his hands and eyes, his hands and eyes stopped at the same time because of a word he saw in the documents that were written in a chaotic manner.

김남준 [31]

"Opioid... LSD... Ketamine..."

민윤기 [32]

".....what?"

The words that Detective Kim recited while running his hands through the results documents were all some kind of drug. All the items assigned to the investigation were within the reach of the students, and there were even food trays...

The team members were speechless when they saw that each item had a variety of drugs written on it. They hoped it was a lie. They thought that if all these documents were fabricated to confuse us, it would be better.

박지민 [30]

"Ha... this crazy..."

While all the team members were in a state of mental breakdown, a call came to Officer Jeon's cell phone. It was an unknown number, and the mood was depressed, so Officer Jeon briefly considered not answering, but soon pressed the answer button.

전정국 [28]

- "hello?"

- "......."

전정국 [28]

- "...hello?"

The former officer, who had been focusing on the phone and turning up the volume, couldn't hear anything either, so he thought it was a prank call and was about to hang up when he heard a faint tapping sound.

전정국 [28]

- "......uh."

전정국 [28]

-"This is... Yeonhui. This is a call from Yeonhui."

The first day I met Oh Yeon-hu, the former police officer gave me his business card, which was much bigger than Oh Yeon-hu's hand, and said the signal to request help. If you can't speak, just tap on your cell phone...

김석진 [33]

"Detective Kim, track his location immediately."

As the former officer trembled while speaking, Superintendent Kim did not ask any more questions and ordered Sergeant Kim to track the location of the cell phone. It was clear that Oh Yeon-hu was in danger for some reason. The priority right now was to save Oh Yeon-hu.

The location tracking results showed that the phone booth was where Oh Yeon-hu had made the call, and Oh Yeon-hu was lying in a cold sweat inside the booth. What kind of strength did this little boy have to put in a few coins to survive and call the only police officer whose number he knew?

The whole process was a breeze, from when Police Officer Jeon lifted the small body of Oh Yeon-hu and wiped away the cold sweat until Police Officer Min picked up his cell phone to report the incident. I hope it wasn't too late...

민윤기 [32]

"Let's go to the nearest hospital. Hanju University Hospital."

하여주 [29]

"Hanju University Hospital... should be avoided as much as possible..."

민윤기 [32]

"why?"

하여주 [29]

"...Mr. Oh Byeong-sik is here. If you see it for yourself after it has become like this, you won't be able to buy it."

민윤기 [32]

".....Then I'll call Korea University Hospital."

Even this small but certain consideration from Officer Ha was the completion of Team 1. Only now was everything falling into place and becoming complete.

When Oh Yeon-hu arrived at Korea University Hospital, he was told that he would only recover if he received consistent treatment at the hospital. And the additional reason for his fainting was... toxic shock due to drugs. It was something that had been building up since kindergarten and finally burst out.

정호석 [31]

"...First of all, let's close all kindergartens."

정호석 [31]

"Preventing other children from going to school is a priority."

김석진 [33]

"Yeah. Did you contact your parents later?"

김남준 [31]

"Both of you are on your way."

Both workaholic Oh Byeong-sik and free-spirited writer Park Yun-hee are probably throwing everything away and running towards being parents of one child at this time. Without a child, they wouldn’t even have the jobs they love.

Not long after Officer Kim finished speaking, the door to the hospital room opened violently and Mr. Oh Byeong-sik and Mr. Park Yun-hee came in, covered in sweat. What would the parents feel when they see their son lying down with a child-sized needle inserted into his small body and receiving a Ringer drip? They probably can’t imagine it now.

김석진 [33]

"...Hello, this is BU Police Station Violent Crimes Unit 1."

김석진 [33]

"We conducted the investigation quickly as you cooperated with us, and we tried to make sure that Oh Yeon-hu was not in danger..."

오병식 [37]

"What...what is the situation, our Yeonhui?"

정호석 [31]

"...It's drug-induced, addictive shock."

정호석 [31]

"Perhaps Oh Yeon-hu, who was walking to school, felt his consciousness fading..."

정호석 [31]

"He called us from a payphone just before he passed out."

전정국 [28]

"...Don't forget what I told you to do if you can't speak, just tap the phone."

전정국 [28]

"Thanks to him being discovered quickly, he is expected to improve after treatment."

박윤희 [35]

"Wait, wait a minute. Drug-induced shock...?"

박윤희 [35]

"Where did the drugs come from... No way..."

박지민 [30]

"...You may not want to believe it, but the results of the scientific investigation of the kindergarten items came out today."

민윤기 [32]

"Drugs were found in all the items without exception, and the kindergarten is considering closing down immediately."

It was a place I trusted and sent my son to because I wanted him to eat well and grow up well, given the expensive tuition, the good curriculum, and the good facilities. But out of nowhere, drugs were involved.

Oh Yeon-hu's parents, who must have been struck by lightning, eventually broke down. Thinking about how she had come into contact with drugs in her small body, and thinking that it was okay because she was just a small child who didn't know anything, today, too, only the victim suffered.

All Team 1 could do here was to urge the closure of the kindergarten, carefully massage Oh Yeon-hu's small arms and legs, and silently watch over the victims' families who had collapsed.

I wanted to immediately arrest the drug dealers and the kindergarten officials, but I had to hold back. At least for now.

I left my heavy heart behind and returned to the office. This was because the 1st team of the strong force had urged me to close the kindergarten without saying anything. Now, I had to arrest the kindergarten officials first, so I gathered in the office to make a plan.

김석진 [33]

"First of all, we need to catch all the teachers there, as well as the cafeteria staff and managers."

김석진 [33]

"From arrests on the spot, to transport, to interrogation, to collecting additional evidence..."

김석진 [33]

"We have a lot to do and need to hire more people. Anyone who can help raise your hand?"

민윤기 [32]

"Perhaps... Inspector Kang from the Scientific Investigation Team will be able to assist."

전정국 [28]

"Team 2 Strong Kim, Police Officer, can assist you."

김태형 [30]

"Wouldn't it be nice if there was support for interrogation?"

김석진 [33]

"Yeah, I guess."

김석진 [33]

"The experts will be better at interrogating us than we are."

박지민 [30]

"Are you okay, Inspector Jang?"

김태형 [30]

"...I don't know. I saw that you had a lot of work piled up last time."

박지민 [30]

"Then... I would like to request assistance from Sergeant Choi of the Counseling Psychology Team 3."

박지민 [30]

"It may not be accepted, but I'll say it anyway."

김석진 [33]

"Okay, thank you."

김석진 [33]

"It's time to leave now, so pack your gear."

The members of Team 1 of the Gangnam Police Station gritted their teeth as they gathered their arrest equipment after a long time. They had to catch the kindergarten staff who deserved to die and quickly return the parents and students to a stable life. This was to prevent not only Oh Yeon-hu but also other victims.

The strong team 1 and their support team stormed into Somang Kindergarten without hesitation. Since there were also children there, their goal was to arrest the people involved and collect evidence while taking care of them so that they would not be shocked as much as possible.

김연지 [27]

"Oh, okay. Should I play with toys with my aunt?"

The kindergarten quickly became a scene of chaos due to the surprise visit of police officers in uniform, and the children who burst into tears were comforted by Officer Kim of the Violent Crimes Unit 2. In the meantime, the kindergarten staff were arrested one by one, and all the kindergarten items that had not been submitted to scientific investigation last time were swept away.

민윤기 [32]

"Team Leader. I don't think the director is visible."

김석진 [33]

"what?"

민윤기 [32]

"It's not in the director's office, and it's not in the break room..."

민윤기 [32]

"Maybe he ran away."

김석진 [33]

"...Search everything."

김석진 [33]

"You absolutely must not miss it."

Inspector Kim's deep eyes and locked voice spoke of the seriousness of his instructions. The members of Team 1 of the Violent Crimes Unit and the support team looked at Inspector Kim and began to search the kindergarten to end this case.

Among the kindergartens, the first to enter the principal's office were Sergeant Kim and Patrolman Jeon. They were searching through every drawer, closet, and even under the sofa to see if they could find anything more about the principal. These guys deserve to be exposed even just one more time and rot away in prison for a long time.

김남준 [31]

"...uh?"

전정국 [28]

"What were you looking for?"

김남준 [31]

"Look at this."

What Detective Kim found in the director's desk drawer was a bundle of documents that proved his dealings with drug dealers. Documents confirming drug transactions, documents listing the types of drugs, receipts for transactions, etc... Now, he could present them as physical evidence rather than circumstantial evidence.

At the end of those documents, there was a signature or stamp from an association called 'Med'. 'Med'... While Sergeant Kim was thinking about where he had seen that name, the former officer called Sergeant Kim urgently.

전정국 [28]

"Sergeant Kim...!"

김남준 [31]

"Uh, why?"

전정국 [28]

"This... is like a drug."

김남준 [31]

"...what?"

When I turned my gaze to where the former police officer had pointed, I saw a pile of white powder on one side of the bookshelf. If it had been an ordinary kindergarten principal’s office, I would not have thought it was drugs, but because of the drug substances that came out of Oh Yeon-hu’s body, my suspicions soon became certainty.

김남준 [31]

"Here's a plastic bag. Put on your gloves and collect it."

전정국 [28]

"all right."

The former detective meticulously collected all the powders suspected to be drugs without leaving a single one behind and handed over a plastic bag along with gloves to detective Kang, who had just entered the director's office.

전정국 [28]

"Detective Kang, please hand this over to scientific investigation."

강영현 [32]

"What is this?"

전정국 [28]

"Probably... drugs."

강영현 [32]

"...Okay, I understand. I'll make sure to do it thoroughly."

전정국 [28]

"thank you."

The expression on the face of Inspector Kang, who had hardened as soon as he heard the word drugs, was telling us the seriousness of the situation. That was why he had to arrest the director today and put an end to this terrible series of events.

I wanted to show you quickly, so I shortened the amount 🥺 Perhaps the truth about the troublesome illegal organization is being revealed little by little?! The child abuse case at Myeongmun Kindergarten is nearing its end, but Team 1 of Violent Crimes is just getting started, so let's do our best until the end 💞

Now that it's over... I'll try my best to write 🥹 I'll become a writer who repays all the interest I've received! Thank you 🍀🩵
