Special Investigation Team BTS Complete
EP 32. Drug Sales (4)
정호석
"They say drugs were found at the club. Judging from the fact that Yoongi hyung said there were multiple of them, it seems like it wasn't just one or two."
김여주
“Drugs…? Then it’s all drugs, whether it’s a chicken restaurant or a club.”
정호석
“Huh… First, I asked you to investigate the person named Psyche, so let’s start with that.”
박지민
"I'll continue investigating the chicken restaurant side. Hyung and Yeoju will investigate the club side."
Tapping, tapping. Jimin's voice cut through the ceaseless keyboard clatter.
In response, Hoseok and Yeoju nodded, and their hands, which had stopped for a moment, began moving again.
박지민
"We've received many similar reports not only from the main branch but also from other places. The reviews are similar to those from the main branch."
박지민
"They say it doesn't taste good, they want a refund... But then, strangely, a few days later, they ask for the delivery to be expedited. What's going on?"
정호석
"Could those people also be drug addicts? What about the nearby CCTV? Is there anything?"
박지민
"Oh, there are too many. There are people waiting in front of the chicken restaurant day and night, and sometimes some even show violence. Seeing that there are even children here... I think there's already too much exposure."
When a young child who looked like he had just started elementary school appeared on the screen, Jimin frowned and slammed his desk.
No matter what, there was something else I couldn't touch. I couldn't tolerate touching the vulnerable, like the elderly or children.
김여주
"Psyche... the lover of Eros, the god of love in Greco-Roman mythology. Or, it symbolizes the soul, curiosity... and in Greek, it means butterfly."
김여주
“Aren’t they all good intentions? Why did you suddenly ask me to investigate Psyche…?”
정호석
"Well, I guess I'll have to ask Yoongi hyung directly for the details. Was there any suspicious or strange meaning behind the word Psyche?"
김여주
"Yes, there was nothing particularly suspicious about it."
As the heroine was writing down the meaning of Psyche on the computer screen in a bewildered manner, Jiying – Jimin’s cell phone vibrated softly.
박지민
"Yes, hello."
김태형
–Uh, Jimin. We’re going to take everything that’s suspected to be drugs… . There’s a name called ‘Sabra’ written on the transaction documents here, right?
김태형
-Looking at the signatures, it seems like he's involved in a drug deal with a chicken restaurant. Please look into this guy named Sabra.
박지민
"Sabra? Are you a foreigner?"
김태형
-I don't know about that. I'll just guess based on the name... Hey, hey, hey!!! Na Yeo-woon!!!! What are you doing,
Stop.
Taehyung asked for an investigation into a person named Sabra, but hung up the phone before he could finish speaking, as if something urgent was going on.
Jimin, feeling upset by the sudden disconnection, stared silently at Taehyung's name on the phone screen, then quickly closed the phone.
정호석
"Who are you? Seokjin hyung?"
박지민
"No. Kim Taehyung. I need you to look into someone named Sabra."
김여주
"Sabra? I'll look for it right away."
Sabra. Sabra. The heroine muttered softly under her breath as she searched through every search bar.
However, unlike Psyche, the heroine did not say anything about finding it even after some time had passed, and eventually Jimin also entered the search bar, saying that he would look for it together.
김여주
“Um… Sabra only appears in movies….”
정호석
"Then it doesn't really mean anything?"
박지민
"Wait a minute. Sabra. Lizard is pronounced sabra in Greek."
정호석
"A lizard? Didn't Psyche say butterfly in Greek earlier? What is this…?"
김여주
"group."
The heroine's gaze, which had been focused on the computer screen, turned to Jimin and Hoseok.
김여주
"It's a drug cartel."
I remembered. Psyche and Sabra. I felt like I'd heard it somewhere, like in a movie or drama, but it wasn't that.
While I was in the hospital, I felt compelled to learn something, so I looked into famous incidents from the past and came across these names. A drug cartel with a wide range of activities and a systematic approach.
Even the police didn't know the name of this drug ring, but they did know Psyche and Sabra. Names that always pop up whenever someone gets involved in a drug case...
I never dreamed I would see these names here.
김여주
"These two people were always present in drug cases. Ha, I'm just now remembering this... For seven years. For seven years, all drug cases related to them went unsolved."
박지민
"Two people? So the drugs at the Dobong fried chicken restaurant and the drugs at the club... are related?"
정호석
"Crazy. Not only are they related, but aren't they the same case? Dude, we can't handle this on our own. They said it was an unsolved case for seven years. What about the police who were investigating back then? Wouldn't they have helped if we asked for help?"
김여주
“…It’s impossible.”
정호석
"why?"
At Ho-seok's words, Yeo-ju shook her head.
김여주
"The police officers who were investigating the case involving those two... are all dead. They don't matter if they were from the violent crimes unit or the narcotics unit."
김여주
"No one knows why he died, how he died, or who killed him. They still haven't found the culprit."
박지민
"They're all dead... There must have been an article about the combined violent crimes unit and the narcotics unit sleeping together. Why don't I know?"
정호석
"Ha... I guess I'll have to be suspicious of the police department as well. The fact that the article didn't come out means that someone blocked it."
After Hoseok's words, a heavy silence fell between the three of them for a moment. What they had thought was just a small town incident turned out to be a drug ring that had been going on for seven years.
Meanwhile, Taehyung, who had hastily ended his call with Jimin, grabbed Yeo-woon's arm in front of him and dragged her away.
김태형
"What are you doing!!!!!!"
Taehyung's loud voice echoed around, and in an instant, the eyes of everyone around him were drawn to one place.
Taehyung was angry, and Yeo-woon was clearly flustered. Yeo-woon's face flushed red from the attention focused on her, and she trembled, shedding tears as big as chicken droppings.
“That, that….”
김석진
"what's the matter."
Seokjin, who was talking to a nearby police officer from afar, suddenly heard a loud noise and walked towards Taehyung and Yeowoon.
A box fell to the floor, spilling its contents. A thick cloud of smoke rose into the air, indicating it had only recently been spilled.
If the contents had been ordinary, Taehyung wouldn't have been this angry. He took a step closer, feeling he couldn't believe it, and a strong smell hit his nose.
김태형
"I'm sorry."
“Oh, no, I…!”
"What's going on?"
김석진
"No. Please don't come near. Please let the other citizens stay away."
Drugs. The drugs Yeo-un had dropped on the floor were the ones that had just been in the chicken restaurant's storage room.
Dropping this in the middle of the street? Are you out of your mind?
Seokjin, who couldn't bring himself to shout in front of so many people, watched Taehyung and Yeowoon while somehow holding back the curses that were about to come out of his mouth.
김태형
"I'm sure I told you to ask another officer. Why did you carry it yourself?"
“…I think it will end quickly if I help too.”
김태형
"Then you shouldn't have dropped it!!!! Don't you know what this is?!?! Are you out of your mind?!?!"
"……."
김태형
"Yeah, that's how it should be. It's not something that can be resolved with an apology anyway, so don't show any sign of regret!!!!"
김석진
"stop."
Seokjin stood between Taehyung and Yeowoon, fearing even harsher words would come out if things continued this way. The drug powder was still floating in the air, and leaving them standing like this would obviously be dangerous.
김석진
"Let's stop. There are a lot of people here, so it's a bit awkward to talk openly here."
김태형
"ha…."
김석진
"I'll clean up this and hand it over to the National Forensic Service, so you guys go back to the police station."
"Ha, but,"
"I'm sorry."
"Stop it and go back."
Seokjin's eyes, looking at Yeo-un, no longer held warm emotions.
