30. The moment when malice overflows (6)
Kim Hyun-seong’s testimony.
Realism was very poor.
It is impossible to predict when, where, and how many people will attack, but Kim Hyun-seong dismissed all of this as coincidence. Does this make sense? Considering the distance between Seoul and Daesan, he could not dismiss the movements of Daesan students, who had to miss all afternoon classes, as a mere coincidence.
If you brought your plans forward or pushed them back by a day.
They would have been in vain.
Convinced that there was an intention, the police officer left the investigation room and contacted Cheonil High School separately.
And the answer that came back was.
[you’re right. Recently, we are conducting field trips to prepare for employment at high schools in Daesan, including Cheonil. It is a formal program in conjunction with a certain vocational school in Gangnam, and only two weeks of training are provided to students who wish to participate. Detective. I also received a report a little while ago, so please don’t think too negatively of our students. They just happened to go to Seoul and reacted violently when they heard that their friend was in danger, but they weren’t so bad as to warrant punishment. As the principal, I guarantee that.]
It was absurd.
An educational program that happens just in time.
The alibi of field trip was secured.
Daesan’s students happened to be in Seoul during the time the ‘operation’ was in progress, and they attended a vocational school near Kim Hyun-seong’s residence. They showed quick action, arriving at the officetel within five minutes of receiving a call from Kim Hyun-seong. I wanted to ask whether that made sense, but as a police officer who had to strictly follow the evidence, I couldn’t deny it.
“… … All right.”
I hung up the phone first.
I also made calls to other schools.
Since everyone knows that Cheonil is actually on Kim Hyun-sung’s side, they also tried to secure testimony from other schools.
It was as expected.
Everyone kissed.
The Daesan Cartel described the same situation without a single exception.
Pop.
“Damn you bastards.”
It was certain.
It was clear that Kim Hyun-seong had created an alibi to place Daesan students in Seoul for as long as two weeks, as he did not know when and where the plan would begin. I got goosebumps. How much did you expect? The text message in which Kim Hyun-seong requested help from Kim Si-woo directly contradicted the circumstances presented by Choi Myung-hoon as evidence.
at last.
There was no evidence.
Whether it’s Choi Myung-hoon’s text or Kim Si-woo’s text.
In the current situation where only circumstances exist, Kim Hyun-seong was able to appeal that the situation had nothing to do with the conquest of Gangnam. I had a headache. No matter how powerful the Golden Circle was, it was not easy to unconditionally criticize an enemy with a background like Kim Hyun-seong without evidence. If Kim Hyun-sung touched it wrong, it would attract people’s attention, and that itself was a loss for the Golden Circle.
Plausibly.
As if Kim Hyun-seong was the obvious perpetrator.
Unless there was a reason to address people’s concerns, this plan was as good as a failure.
‘Then there is only one way.’
I took a step back.
Kim Hyun-seong gave up.
No matter how much he struggles, nothing will come out.
But other people were different.
[Second Investigation Room]
Squeak.
I opened the door and entered.
And there.
“Are you Bae Seong-ho?”
The final puzzle was waiting for the police officer.
* * *
Carrot and stick.
Among them, I picked up the whip first.
The police officer sat across from Bae Seong-ho and spoke with a rather serious expression.
“I heard that he continues to deny the charges. From now on, listen carefully to what I say. “I’m saying this because I have a younger brother like you, but if you listen to the bastards who are giving you orders right now, your life could be ruined.”
Okay.
Take off.
The recording was stopped.
The police officer said bluntly.
“What I say here now will not remain as any evidence. Seongho. you are an adult Even if other kids make good alibis and get involved in violent incidents, they will most likely end up in juvenile detention centers. But what about you? You’re headed to prison. An adult has been involved in a violent incident against a minor, but don’t think it ends with a simple assault. Many victims who have been taken to the hospital are testifying that they were beaten by ‘you’. Why on earth does Kim Hyun-seong take such a risk? You know. This isn’t just a fight. The power of the Golden Circle could leave you rotting in prison for the rest of your life. “I will never be able to return to society in the future.”
It was intentional.
The police officer revealed his identity as a warning, saying he was a member of the Golden Circle.
“The reason I bring this up is to tell you the only way to survive. Testify for the Golden Circle. In fact, if you testify with your own words that Kim Hyun-seong contributed to the cause, the Golden Circle will compensate you for more than the amount you received. I heard a rumor that he will do anything if you give him money. “Rather than receiving a small amount of money from Kim Hyun-seong, it is better to be reliably compensated for your sacrifice.”
I threw the bait.
Now it was Bae Seong-ho’s turn.
Bae Seong-ho showed calm eyes at the gently tempting fishing lure.
“Detective.”
“okay. “Speak comfortably.”
“I realized something while attending Cheonil. In this world. There are people who should not necessarily be considered ‘enemies’. Golden Circle? That would be amazing. Since this is a group that those in power hold on to in the background, it would not be a task to kill that one person. But does that mean you turn Kim Hyun-seong into an enemy?”
I sighed and laughed.
Two years at Cheonil.
To Bae Seong-ho, Kim Hyun-sung’s image was absolute.
“There is nothing more stupid than that. The kids who had problems with Kim Hyun-seong. If you check their current status, not a single one is fine. Also, there is speculation that it was Kim Hyun-seong’s work that caused ‘Jung Min-ho’ to become a vegetative state. What do you think would happen if you interfere with the plans of such a being? There is no such thing as moderation for Kim Hyun-seong. I assure you, I will pay for my betrayal more than I could ever imagine. So do whatever you want. “I’m so stupid that I don’t have the confidence to do complicated calculations anymore.”
The police officer’s eyes turned fierce.
Whether you vent your hostility or not.
Bae Seong-ho still spoke with a calm expression.

“Oh, and report the results of your investigation like this. As a senior, I happened to be staying nearby and ran to help my junior. “He paid the price for the violence, but did not provide any testimony to prove Kim Hyun-sung’s intentionality.”
* * *
A few hours later.
Hyunseong Kim was released.
With the investigation over, there was no longer any justification for arresting Kim Hyun-seong.
As several students, including Kim Hyun-seong, left the police station, waiting reporters flocked to them.
“Student Hyunseong Kim. “What on earth is going on?”
“Is it really true that you led the group fight?”
“What conversation took place inside?”
This incident.
People’s attention was focused.
As Jo Jae-jin broadcasted live on YouTube Live, he received so much attention that even Golden Circle could not do anything about it. Reporters are people who thrive on attention. It was natural for people to flock in front of the police station.
Papapatpat.
Flash fires erupted from all directions.
It has been a long time since I received this much attention since I took first place in the country in the mock exam.
Kim Hyun-seong calmly accepted the gaze.
Rather than acting like a criminal coming out of the police station, he appealed his innocence with clear eyes and a confident attitude.
“To be honest, I don’t know why I got caught up in this incident.”
From now on.
I will throw a bomb.
This is only a preliminary battle, but the fire that is caused now will definitely return as a fire demon in the future.
“What I can clearly say here is that the same incident occurred at Daesung Mirae High School. Choi Myung-hoon, the perpetrator of this incident, led the incident, and I was barely able to get over being attacked by dozens of students. However, the incident at that time only ended in school corruption, and not a single article was published about the exact circumstances. I was exposed to someone’s malice. And the entity radiating that malice seems to want me dead, as this incident proves.”
Moment.
Murmur.
People reacted violently.
This was not a statement that could be overlooked.
The idea of trying to kill Kim Hyun-seong under the guise of school violence was a shocking incident that went beyond the realm of common sense.
Not all reporters are rotten.
Not affiliated with the Golden Circle.
One reporter was genuinely surprised by Kim Hyun-sung’s remarks and walked away.
“Who on earth is the master of that malice?”
If you need.
It would have been a direct reference to the Golden Circle.
By releasing the Celestial members and information he discovered, he could completely overthrow the Golden Circle.
But not now.
When the time is right.
A golden opportunity to completely destroy the Golden Circle.
For that, a shock just enough to sting was needed.
Hyunseong Kim laughed.
“I hope reporters will look into that from now on. “Isn’t that your role as reporters?”
In those words.
The Internet was turned upside down.
* * *
The world was in chaos.
Suspicions raised by Kim Hyun-seong.
Article after article followed, spreading so quickly that the entire nation was aware of it.
[Group violence in the middle of Seoul! What is the truth?!]
[Student surnamed Kim. He stated that the same incident had already occurred!]
[Master of Malice. Who is really behind it?]
There was still suspicion.
Although it was nothing more than a conspiracy where the truth was not revealed, Park Hyeong-jun could not accept this situation with a smile.
[1 hour later, XX Korean Restaurant]
One text.
Park Hyung-jun showed a despairing face.
It was a call from an agent.
The implications of his call seemed to take my breath away at any moment.
‘I’m done.’
The plan failed.
Not only was it not enough to blow his last chance, Kim Hyun-seong made a bombshell statement that could be used to infer the Golden Circle.
How on earth do you resolve this?
Two violent incidents caused by Choi Myung-hoon.
In order to resolve the two cases that are beyond common sense, even the Golden Circle has no choice but to endure fatal bleeding. Even so, it is not completely resolved. It is clear that this incident will create skeptics, and as the Golden Circle has grown in size, it was only a matter of time before it was followed up.
It was far away.
I felt like my head was clogged.
It was then.
thud.
“… … sorry. “I’m really, really sorry!”
It was Choi Myung-hoon.
He hit his head on the floor.
Just like Park Hyeong-jun, his face turned pale at the hopeless situation.
“Yes, you were there.”
Park Hyung-jun’s expression changed.
I got up from my seat.
And then.
Sigh.
“Ugh.”
I grabbed Choi Myung-hoon’s hair.
Looking into his fear-stained eyes, Park Hyeong-jun spoke fiercely.
“It’s really embarrassing. This plan was one that could never fail. They mobilized a large number of people to deal with just one person, and even bribed the officetel manager to create a perfect plan. But how? Was Kim Hyun-seong able to anticipate our plan and prepare for it? “I ordered him to stop joining in case the plan was leaked, but Kim Hyun-seong countered as if he knew the plan perfectly.”
“… … “I’m sorry.”
“Yeah, I should be sorry. But I heard something really absurd. Some of the kids who were taken in for questioning said they heard Cheonil students making noise. He said he was able to prepare thanks to Choi Myung-hoon giving him information in advance. So, I’m asking, what do you think about that absurd story?”
“Ugh.”
Choi Myung-hoon hiccuped.
Right in front of you.
A huge sense of malice arose.
When Park Hyeong-jun looked at him as if he were going to kill him, he felt that things were going very wrong.
“You know that. This current situation. “It’s impossible to explain it without someone’s betrayal.”
I knew it instinctively.
Hyunseong Kim now.
Another trap was dug to bury Choi Myung-hoon.
