Genius Profiler Hansol Im

Chapter 7: Isn’t that person the only one left?

The accused are presumed innocent until a judgment of guilt has been pronounced.¹

Ah, no!

lie.

The man was obviously lying.

As soon as the dispatched police arrived, the man Hansol caught was arrested.

Doctor, we need you with us for referencing the investigation.

Lets do that.

After arriving at the station, a background search on the mans identity was conducted, and a few things came to light.

He is 39 years old, and his name is Kim Chul-gyu. His current jobwellhes unemployed. He is unmarried and has no criminal record. He lives in the Jeonghwa region, about 10 km away from Hwajong.

But he has no previous criminal records! Kang Woo-cheol, who was in charge of the investigation of Kim Chul-gyu, reported.

Check again. Check whether he changed his name or not, and look for even the smallest troubles created by him. Look into the people who were in contact with him.

Yes, senior!

Hansol, who was being investigated as a reference, was a few steps away from them, listening to their conversation.

Doctor, why did you visit the site again?

This time, Lieutenant Jung Yu-mi began to question him. Hansol decided that an honest answer would be the best.

As a profiler, I wanted to see the scene. I wondered if there was something I was missing out on.

And so, when you arrived Kim Chul-gyu came in?

Correct. As if nothing.

As if? Please continue what you were trying to say.

Lieutenant Jung Yu-mi didnt seem to back down. No, this was how every investigation was conducted; every answer was needed. The same applied to Hansol, who was working inside the police agency.

I need to come up with something simple.

Like he waited for me to come this was what I wanted to say.

So, does this Kim Chul-gyu know you?

Yes. That was the conclusion I came to.

Then I will ask you one more thing. How could Kim Chul-gyu know you?

One thing I am certain of is that someone from the police is committing this crime alongside Kim Chul-gyu.

Why would you think that?

Lieutenant Jungs eyes turned serious.

Lieutenant Jung was wary of Hansol, who was still on the suspect list. It would be that Hansols words would dig his own grave. However, Hansol spoke each word with utter care.

It looked like Hansol, who was on top of the suspect list, was trying to get out. If not, he was simply profiling.

There are many reasons, but firstly, the murder in the abandoned house wasnt the first murder.

How can you be so sure of that?

The real suspect must have been helping Kim Chul-gyu with the murders.

Lieutenant Jung couldnt understand what Hansol was trying to say. It was as if Hansol was speaking some other language.

Firstly, Kim Chul-gyu is unemployed, but he seems to have worked in places that handle knives, such as slaughter houses or hospitals. If you look into that, we will know soon, right? And with the way he was using the knife, he seemed to know the human body pretty well too.

When Hansol was speaking with a blunt expression, Lieutenant Jung titled her head. On what ground can you

Yah! This shithead! Look here! You changed your bloody name! So, you were working in forensics?

The angry voice of Kang Woo-cheol could be heard by Lieutenant Jung and Hansol.

!

Hansols deduction was correct.

Someone who helped him, aka J, may be related to Kim Chul-gyu. In particular, if he did work in forensics, there is no way the police wouldnt know him.

this J knows me, and he manipulated Kim Chul-gu? Or did he ask Kim Chul-gyu to visit the site at that time? If I was the killer I wouldnt be interested in that one house alone. I wouldnt be able to feel any pleasure from it. In the records, my mom died, my father got stabbed in the back with a knife, and the son tried to help. Thats all. And the suspect was

Doctor

Lieutenant Jung spoke with a stern expression.

Inspector Jung was puzzled. The person on the suspect list was just sitting and peacefully reasoning about the scene he witnessed.

Seeing Hansols tired eyes, the inspector couldnt help but feel bad.

This is what I learned after personally conducting an investigation on you, and it is said that you are suffering from a mental illness. The illness is.

Even if you dont spill it, I am aware of it. I even know that I will be at a disadvantage for this case because of that illness.

I dont understand the things that youve said, Doctor. Firstly, you visited the site right after the investigation. Then, Kim Chul-gyu visits. Isnt this a perfect setting to get yourself out of the suspect list?

Lieutenant Jung cornered Hansol.

Of course, that is how any normal person would think.

At that moment, a detective came over and whispered something in Lieutenant Jungs ears. After hearing what the detective had whispered, she could hold her poker face any longer.

Doctor? I have another question. Why didnt you go out the front door? We secured the CCTV.

In a situation where I was being held as the main suspect, I decided that it would be best to go over to the crime scene unnoticed. By the way you guys got it pretty fast this time?

Each time Hansol spoke, Jung Yu-mi got more confused. Was the person sitting in front of her a monster, or does he want to become one? Or was he really someone who knew nothing?

Ugh 5 minutesafter 5 minutes we will continue. Lieutenant Jung left, and Hansol resumed his thoughts.

The suspects first murder wasnt actually his first.

The suspect is aware of Hansol and his illness and clearly knows what happened 10 years ago inside the house. Maybe he was someone who directly investigated the scene. The awareness of what happened inside seemed strong, and he would continue to aim for his prey. Then, how did the suspect end up exposing himself?

It was confirmed that the first and the second bodies found werent too far from each other.

And Hansols disease was only known by his father, mother, the suspect at that time. And now, J and Jung Yu-mi as well. His mother is dead, so she is off the list. So there are 4 people left.

Father lacks the skillswait, how much do I even know about my father?

Ten years had passed since they lived together. Hansol had no idea how much his father had changed. Professor Im and J could be of the same age.

Maybe after his wife died, the instincts inherent in him awakened. So, my dad might not have grown up with education. Furthermore, he cooperated with police on several occasions, so he witnessed many murder scenes.

A paper also states that antisocial personality disorder is inherent by nature. Although it was just a theory and was never proven.

He sees his fathers friendly face whenever he talks with neighbors. However, Hansol would see his fathers sanity drift away from time to time. That was just an old memory embedded into his brain. Furthermore, His father also knows everything that happened 10 years ago.

Doctor? We are starting now.

Yes.

Lieutenant Jung called Hansol while seriously looking into his eyes.

Ordinary criminals avoid eye contact whenever they are being investigated as they are busy trying to build up alibi to lower their sentences. However, you are unusual. The people who commit murders, especially serial murders as such, dont avoid eye contact, but rather glance right into others and give out an eerie feeling.

Are my eyes like that?

They are similar to that. The illness the doctor is associated with could have contributed to murder.

You are talking like I am the suspect. Then, Ill let you know a few things. Remember that I am a profiler, and I need to let the police know what is happening without letting my emotions get the best of me.

After taking a deep breath, Hansol opened his mouth. First, the suspects are two not one.

Yes, youve said that.

Second, one of the suspects would be a police officer or someone who is working in the related agency. And they are very well aware that I, Dr. Im Hansol, am mentally ill.

How many know about that? Since I am aware of you and your personality, I am not the type to draw conclusions.

Only 4 people. Lieutenant Jung, my father, the incident 10 years ago if you investigated me, you must know it, right? What happened to me? The suspect of that case. And National Forensic Labs Jung Min-seob.

Speaking of Jung Min-seob you are referring to the team leader Jung Min-seob of the National Forensic Lab, right?

Correct. There is only one Jung Min-seob in the National Forensic Lab.

So, out of the four people, including me, you are thinking the culprit is present?

of course, I have 2 people on the list for suspects. The suspect of that incident 10 years ago was given a life sentence, that makes it impossible for him to come. Inspector Jung knows what happened to him today, right? Ah, since it passed midnight, it was yesterday. He passed away yesterday. Then, the only other one left is my father and Jung Min-seob.

The lieutenant felt a little weird from Hansols words. Maybe pronouns such as that and him. As she thought during investigations, the more pronouns used the more intimate the people were supposed to be. However, when Hansol talked, it seemed utterly opposite. Instead, it was like he didnt even want to mention a few names and ended up using those pronouns.

Something gave her an impression that they werent so important to Hansol.

Then, shall I go on with the third reason? The suspect has a very strong desire to exhibit.

Are you a person with a strong desire to exhibit? If you look at the bodies which have been discovered till now, especially the first one, it seemed like

I told you that the first isnt the actual first murder. Apparently, it was one of the things left behind and ended up creating this unprecedented beginning.

If I was committing murder with Kim Chul-gyu, we both must have been pretty inexperienced. This means that there is undoubtedly another one on the loose. Ah, cant you catch me even if I do this? Cant you catch Kim Chul-gyu? Like that, numerous murders were committed, and this just ended up being the first body we found.

That means that he knew that you, Doctor, would visit there?

Hansol leaned a little forward and looked at Jung Yu-mi. It was as if he was very relaxed despite what was happening around him, both mentally and physically.

so, there is only one suspect.

No are you trying to say that your father is the other murderer?

Lieutenant couldnt even hide how flabbergasted she felt at his statement.

Nevertheless, Hansols expression didnt change as he whispered in a soft voice, Isnt that person the only one left?
