Special Investigation Team BTS Complete
EP 12. Human Trafficking (1)
김여주
"Hello! Thanks to you, I had a good rest..."
Last night, Yeo-ju, who had stubbornly kept Seok-jin's words to take her to the hospital and get some rest until the morning, entered the police station with a bright greeting.
He had expected them to welcome him as well… but these people hadn’t even gone home after the incident, and were sleeping all over the police station in shabby clothes.
김여주
“No, but what time is it now and you still haven’t woken up…?”
I wondered if everyone was sleeping and missed the call, so I checked to see if there were any missed calls on the police station phone, but fortunately, there had been no calls from last night until this morning.
김남준
“…Are you here, Yeoju?”
Namjoon, who seemed to have woken up to the sound of rustling while avoiding the people lying around, got up and called out to the female lead in a hoarse voice.
김여주
"Are you awake? Here, water. But why aren't you all going home and are you here?"
The woman poured warm water from the water purifier and handed it to Namjoon. Namjoon, who still hadn't completely woken up from sleepiness, rubbed his eyes and accepted the water from the woman.
김남준
"It took some time to hand over Kim Seok-hoon to the prosecution and organize all the remaining evidence."
김여주
“Can’t we hand it over to the prosecution today?”
김남준
"Hey, you must be worried about it, so why are you wasting any more time? Let's just move on."
Namjoon got up from his seat after drinking some water and washing his face dry, as if his drowsiness had finally disappeared.
김남준
"It was only at the last minute that the victim's cell phone was opened, and since all the evidence was inside, Kim Seok-hoon will receive at least life imprisonment."
김여주
"Cell phone? Did you find Mr. Han Da-in's cell phone?"
김남준
"Yeah. Oh, it wasn't here then? Jimin found it and brought it."
Namjoon took out various necessities such as a toothbrush, toothpaste, shampoo, and conditioner from his bag and headed to the makeshift shower room.
김남준
"I'll explain another incident after I wash up, so please clean up around here, Yeoju."
김여주
"Oh, yes!"
At Namjoon's words, Yeoju started to stack up the documents right in front of her in one place.
Photos of the scene where Mr. Han Da-in was found, photos of the scene where the fourteenth victim was found, and even Kim Seok-hoon's personal information and method of the crime.
Looking at all the piled up documents, I can see how hard the team members worked all night to organize and gather evidence.
As I was quietly smiling with a heart that was half sorry and half proud, I felt someone's presence behind me.
“…What are you doing here?”
It was a situation where he couldn't even open his eyes.
김여주
"Oh, you're awake? I went to work and everyone was asleep, so I was organizing documents."
전정국
“…the body.”
김여주
"huh?"
전정국
“…Are you feeling okay?”
Contrary to his worried lips, Jeongguk avoided Yeoju's gaze as if embarrassed, pressing his sticking out hair with his hand.
전정국
“You… must have gotten tested at the hospital. Did the test results come out okay?”
김여주
"You were worried about that? It's okay. I'm strong. Not as strong as you, but as strong as you, right?"
The heroine rolled up her sleeves and showed off her arms, and Jungkook compared his arms to the heroine's in his head and chuckled.
전정국
"Yeah. As strong as me."
김석진
"Ugh... It's a mess... Oh, you're here already, Yeoju? I thought you told me to rest until morning."
Seokjin, who heard the sound of Jeongguk talking, patted his back and touched his head while leaning heavily on the chair.
김여주
"It's already 12:40! Oh, I heard there's a new case. I'd like to take a look at it first. Where is the case file?"
김석진
"Over there, in front of Yoongi."
Seokjin pointed to the file with his finger, and Yeoju looked at the case file in Yoongi's hand and laughed awkwardly.
김여주
“I guess I’ll just have to listen to it when Namjoon-sunbae gives his briefing.”
There was no need to prick the sleeping lion's nose just to preview the case files.
My motto is to go long and thin.
After a few minutes, Namjoon stood in front of the blackboard with a towel around his neck, while the rest of the team took their places in their own ways and focused on Namjoon.
김남준
"Okay, now let's get into the explanation of the incident."
김남준
"For the past five years, we've been receiving numerous reports of missing people from Jeju Island. While there have been the occasional woman or elderly person, the most common missing individuals are healthy men and children between the ages of seven and fifteen."
정호석
“Not a woman, but a man…? Then it seems like there’s no intention to harm the weak.”
민윤기
"There are children among the missing. Don't rule it out entirely. Keep going."
김남준
"Missions were reported from the same area every other month or as little as a week, and the police, finding this strange, began investigating."
김남준
“But… the deeper we tried to investigate, the more angry some residents became, demanding that we not ruin the image of the area, and started kicking us out, so we had to stop the investigation.”
The local residents themselves chased away the police who came to investigate the disappearance of nearby residents… … .
김남준
"Here, here's something interesting. Now, here on the coast of Jeju Island…."
Namjoon drew a large picture of Jeju Island on the blackboard and attached two blue magnets to certain parts.
김남준
"We found a big ship heading to China. And a really big ship at that."
김태형
"Surely, you didn't get permission?"
김남준
"That's right. The CCTV around here showed that ship coming to our country several times and leaving carrying things."
김남준
"Surprisingly, that period coincided exactly with the time when the missing person's report was filed, and when the police learned of this and tried to question the captain of the ship, the CCTV footage disappeared."
박지민
“…all the CCTVs around?”
김남준
"Yeah. Everything."
As soon as Namjoon finished speaking, a cold silence flowed through the conference room.
The missing person report coincided with the ship's departure. Just as the police were about to begin a full-scale investigation, the CCTV footage disappeared.
This is probably… … .
"Human trafficking."
"This is human trafficking that even involves local residents."
