49 – Haerin Kang (49)
Haerin Kang (49)
Originally, my plan was to ask ‘Kim Hye-jeong’, who was dating Ban Yi-jae, to do some kind of fishing.
A strategy that seeks evidence from conclusions, rather than the usual method of finding evidence and arriving at conclusions.
If you leak information to Kim Hye-jung and ask her to bluff it, Ban Lee-jae will have no choice but to react in some way.
If he took a little risk, Ban Lee-jae would come personally to assault Kim Hye-jung, who thought he was easygoing, and could have used that as an excuse.
The reason this is possible is that we know exactly that Ban Yi-jae has some secrets that he cannot tell others.
It’s not just bluffing.
What I am talking about is evidence that can touch the character of Ban Lee Jae one by one.
If you pinpoint them precisely, even the most brazen of people can’t help but doubt their accuracy.
Drugs, a golden phone, and a button stained with the victim’s blood.
If you mention it all correctly, you can only believe that you saw it yourself.
Of course, it would be necessary to conduct a trap investigation around the area so as not to destroy the evidence in advance.
Even if it’s not that, if you poke him about illegal filming and induce him to admit it, it will be possible to conduct a search with that alone.
I was thinking of writing the ‘script’ to induce it myself to Kim Hye-jung.
However, Park Se-young was right.
A person with a painful memory may not wish to face it.
I was too selfish.
It was because it was forcing them to open up the wounds of others and sacrifice themselves for the sake of a purpose.
“I probably don’t want to be involved with Ban Yijae again. His face was bruised and he was gaslighted a lot. He said he even went bald because of the stress.”
Park Se-young said with a worried expression.
“I talked about it as I came out of the stand, but he said he didn’t want to see that demonic person again.”
I pondered for a while.
No matter how much it is to catch Ban Lee Jae, I don’t want to pick up other people’s wounds either.
‘Then what should I do?’
While thinking about it, I remembered Kang Hae-rin’s ability.
She had the ability to act as a person herself through sufficient observation.
As a way to bring out the ‘prey’ she captured, she often used to imitate the voices of family members or acquaintances.
Previously, he tried to get inside by imitating Park Se-young’s voice, and called Park Se-young in Baek Yu-ram’s voice to chill the conversation.
‘This will do.’
However, no matter how strong you are, you need ‘data’.
What kind of speech habits does the speaker have, how the tone of voice or intonation changes in certain situations, what vocabulary is used, and so on.
After all, everyone has a different way of speaking depending on who they are talking to.
The way Kim Hye-jeong talks to Park Se-young is probably different from the way she talks to her former lover, Ban Yi-jae.
Even if you call her here and listen to her story, her ex-lover will definitely feel uncomfortable.
“Is there no such thing as a call log? Voice recording.”
I asked.
“… Oh, yes. What about the two fighting? I told them to accept it because I need evidence to report it. Verbal violence is also a type of dating violence… but why is that…?”
Park Se-young tilted her head.
I couldn’t tell the long story that Kang Hae-rin could persuade Ban Lee-jae to investigate the crime by voice copying, that is, vocal mimicry.
In addition, if you say it straight away, you will know that the owner of the phone call she received in the past is Kang Hae-rin.
Then Park Se-young will be suspicious of Kang Hae-rin again, so it’s not the ending I want.
The call log had to be written by me.
“Can I ask for that? Please, Seyoung.”
“……”
Park Se-young had a confused expression.
“… Even so, I can’t tell you without a reason. It’s not that I don’t like it, and I’m sure Hyejeong will reject it? Even if it was for a good cause, I wouldn’t want to share a personal story… Oh, hang on…”
She put her finger to her chin, pondered for a few minutes, then suddenly clapped.
“I will try!”
“… huh?”
“How many files do you need?”
“Just as much as possible. I won’t use it for anything else, and when it’s done, I’ll throw it all away.”
I said.
“all right.”
Park Se-young called.
“… Uh, Hyejeong. Are you okay on the phone now?”
“……..”
I silently watched the call.
“Can I get the file? Ah, yes… well, it is. To recklessly tell you the contents of the call…”
The conversation flowed negatively.
‘Ah, refusal.’
I bit my lip.
With that record, things would be easy.
When I gave up and tried to think of the next best thing, Park Se-young subtly changed the tone and brought up my story.
“Yeah, you know Dongmin sunbaenim, right? That’s right.”
“……..”
“You know, you know. Right now I’m with Dongmin sunbaenim. Yes, but I can be a bit puzzled, but you say you really need Dongmin sunbaenim? Can you listen?”
“……”
I couldn’t figure out the context at all.
Why do you keep emphasizing me over there?
It would be better for Se-yeong to use her acquaintanceship or persuade her more logically than me.
“senior.”
Park Se-young smiled and held out her phone.
“Talk to yourself.”
“… hello?”
I got her phone.
“Uh uh uh-”
“… hello?”
A strange sound came over the phone.
“Ah, senior Dongmin, hello. This is Hyejeong. Hyejeong Kim. I listen to the same culture as my seniors. oh my god.”
It was a somewhat exhilarating, polite tone.
However, the ‘Jackpot’ at the end is a bit confusing.
He said he was a victim of dating violence, so I expected a gloomy voice, but I was betrayed in a nice way.
“……..”
What is the big hit?
It was a serious situation, but I was surprised by Kim Hye-jung’s voice, which sounded better than I thought.
“What do you need?”
Hyejeong Kim asked.
I’ve moved places
I have to tell Kim Hye-jung the details of the circumstances to explain the justification and justification, but I also have to keep Kang Hae-rin’s ability a secret from Park Se-young.
“You may not believe it, but I have a friend whose vocal mimicry is amazing. I plan to use this to contact Ban Yi-jae and tell him about the crime.”
“……..”
There was no response from the phone.
I also waited silently because I thought that it was such a ridiculous story as I said it.
But it’s true.
“great.”
“… huh? really?”
A surprisingly pleasant answer came back.
“I will send you the file. But, instead of Seyoung’s number, please send me an email or contact number.”
“Ah, that, yes…”
I gave her my number.
I was able to get the call log.
It was a total of 40 files.
A rough listen revealed all sorts of gaslighting and swearing Ban Yi-jae had done to Kim Hye-jung, as well as hints that he had beaten her.
When she was excited, when she was depressed, when she was frustrated, Kim Hye-jung’s tone and tone were stored in all kinds of emotional states.
This data was sufficient.
“That’s Okay?”
I said it in a roundabout way, fearing that the statement that Ban Yi-jae had your hidden camera would only cause concern.
“Awesome, I knew that bastard would.”
He didn’t know what it was, but when he heard that there was a ‘criminal charge’, Kim Hye-jung burst into exasperation and was excited.
“But is that really possible? Are you imitating my voice? Can you show me?”
“…because I’m not doing it.”
“Anyway. anyone. But maybe he…”
Hyejeong Kim blurted out her words.
“Are you my girlfriend?”
“… uh?”
I was taken aback by the unexpected question.
“Haerin Kang, right?”
“Do you know Haerin?”
“Of course I know. Where is the senior and Harin couple at our school? Senior, are you secretly ‘Dong.Min.Bus’? cute, really sorry. to the senior.”
“… Dongmin bus?”
“Don’t you know the Ha-Ha bus?”
What do you mean? Kim Hye-jeong laughed to herself.
“Only seniors don’t know that seniors are good.”
“… I’m not good at it.”
I feel it every time, but there are a lot of mischievous girls in the world, so they really like to tease me.
Even after coming to college, I was a little depressed thinking that this situation would be the same, but I decided to cheer up.
Because this is for a cause.
“Anyway, are you saying Haerin Kang is so good at imitating her voice? I’m curious. Can you drop by later?”
“… Harin is not a circus animal.”
I said shyly.
“Wow, awesome, as expected, a handsome man and woman couple! I wish I had a boyfriend like you too. I thought Ban Yi-jae was that kind of person, but only the face was handsome, and the inside was a pure sh*t!”
“… okay.”
“Yes, senpai has a better face and a nice personality…”
I suddenly wanted to hang up the phone.
“Yes, senior. But I’m worried. Would that bastard hear my voice and catch it? If you listen to my voice, you’ll know, but I’m not an ordinary woman, so I shot at that bastard as I had to.”
Kim Hye-jung went back and forth between excitement and depression.
The main topic was accepted unexpectedly quickly, but miscellaneous conversations got longer, so the phone call was also delayed.
“… Anyway, I’ll hang up.”
“Yes, senpai, it was fun talking on the phone! Please buy me a drink next time. Or even rice-”
I replied awkwardly and hung up the phone.
I was cold-hearted since he helped me once, but I don’t think I’ll have anything more to do with that friend.
I was blown away in many ways.
After the phone call, I went to Park Se-young in a daze.
“Are you okay?”
Park Se-young’s tone is strangely confident.
He smiles as if he knows everything.
“… Yes, that’s okay, but I’m a little puzzled. Thank you for helping me, but even if I thought about it, I thought it was suspicious and I thought there was nothing to say even if I didn’t help.”
“That’s what the old man asked for.”
“huh?”
I tilted my head.
‘What do you mean?’
… Ah, it must be said that it is difficult for a junior to refuse because a ‘senpai’ asks for it.
Even though it is a relatively free literary and creative department, it seems that there is a kkondae culture to some extent.
Still, I thought I was lucky now.
Long live the kkondae culture!
However, Park Se-young winked and snapped her fingers, as if my expression was still ambiguous.
“Hint, Hyejeong really likes handsome men. Especially a handsome man who doesn’t know he’s handsome-“
#
That night.
Having received Kim Hye-jung’s voice file with Park Se-young’s help, I put my head to head with Kang Hae-rin and analyzed the script and Kim Hye-jung’s personality.
Kang Hae-rin was an expert in personality analysis, speech mimicry, and tone mimicry, so I mostly scripted conversation scenarios and passed them on to her.
For example, how to prepare for the arrogant tone that Ban Lee-jae, who has a good nose and has a high nose, will use when dealing with a woman whom he regards as inferior to him.
“Well, I think I know enough.”
Kang Hae-rin, who was lying on the bed in comfortable clothes and listening to the audio file, said.
“You can see this child’s personality.”
“okay? That’s awesome too.”
I fixed my gaze on the notebook Kang Hae-rin bought me to write the script and moved my finger.
I was quite focused because it was an important moment to put Ban Yi-jae behind bars.
To the point where I didn’t know what kind of expression Kang Haerin was making.
“Senior-♡”
flinch.
“……”
Suddenly, goose bumps ran down my spine at the sound of Kim Hye-jung’s voice coming from the side.
Because I wasn’t looking to the side, I had the illusion that Hyejeong Kim was lying on the bed, not Haerin Kang.
Naturally, when I turned my head, there was Kang Hae-rin with her hair hanging down to the side.
“… No, you were surprised. Harin.”
I said awkwardly and turned my head again.
However, I was writing with great enthusiasm, but all the hypothetical scenarios I was going to write next flew away.
“self.”
Haerin Kang said.
“… huh?”
“How did you get this audio file?”
“… How do you get it? I asked Se-young… I got it from Kim Hye-jung herself. why?”
Feeling goosebumps running down my spine for some reason, I stammered on.
For a moment, I wanted to do something wrong, but Kang Hae-rin fully understood that all of this was for her and my ‘great cause’, our happiness.
She is a smart person, and I know best that she is not jealous out of ignorance.
Of course, if we deepen our relationship, specifically if the skinship level goes up, those excuses won’t work, but it’s a little different now.
It was the only idea that could break this situation, so it was a way she could understand.
“This is just my intuition, but girls with this personality, this voice, and this way of speaking have, how to say, very hot bodies.”
“… uh, what do you mean by that? Ahahahahaha…”
I burst out laughing.
But it rang the room empty.
The atmosphere would have been better if Kang Hae-rin had laughed with her, but she was quietly keeping her mouth closed.
It’s an expression that tells you to smile more.
“I just hope it wasn’t something I promised to give you in exchange for this. You know what I mean?”
“Ah, that’s what it means. of course. give me something I received it as a courtesy. don’t worry.”
I breathed a sigh of relief
Obviously, he had never made a deal with Kim Hye-jung in exchange for an audio file.
Only then did I feel relieved, straighten my shoulders and write the next script in a comfortable position.
Kang Hae-rin also came to me as if she was happy when I quickly resolved the suspicion that had crossed her mind.
He hugged me by the nape of my neck from behind, put his face on my cheek, and placed his chest on my shoulder.
“My dear, you write so well.”
“okay? thank you. This is really important, so I need to show my skills. Haerin-ah, if we catch Ban Yi-jae this time, I don’t think we have anything to worry about.”
From nob le mt l. co m
Jjook.
Haerin Kang kissed me on the cheek.
“happy.”
“me too.”
“I can do anything for you.”
she smiled brightly
#
“… that’s right.”
My older sister came to my side, hugged her arm and whispered softly in my ear.
“Kang Hae-rin, Kang Hae-rin is right.”
Kang Hae-rin’s ability in the novel.
If so, my sister knows it well.
She seems convinced now.
That Kang Haerin is that Kang Haerin.
The categorical detective made use of all of his thick features, and detective Park Seong-gang, after the initial shock passed, frowned and made a serious expression while watching Kang Hae-rin’s amazing performance.
“I heard everything. You piece of sh*t.. Do you want to keep groping? Shall we go to the police station-!? I am in front of the police station now.”
“……”
Powerful curses came out of Kang Hae-rin’s mouth, enough to attract everyone’s attention in the cafe.
Contrary to her calm expression, unlike her image and noble appearance, ‘Kim Hye-jung’s voice’ burst out like a person with a transplanted soul.
Vocabulary of Hyejeong Kim.
Kim Hye-jung’s voice.
Hyejeong Kim’s accent.
Kim Hye-jung’s personality.
I only remember her polite voice when talking to Kim Hye-jung on the phone alone, but that was definitely the typical look of a couple who broke up terribly.
Haerin Kang, who had been talking on the phone for a long time, put the phone down and sighed.
“I confessed. however…”
“But why?”
My sister pressed her face to Kang Hae-rin.
“Is there a problem?”
“I don’t think he’s a psychopath. It’s rather loud. If you want me to delete the data, please come and wash it.”
Kang Hae-rin said with a wry smile.
“I pretended to be moderately frightened and said I would go. If you push too hard, you won’t be like Kim Hye-jung, and you can steal or delete data.”
she looked at me and said
“Anyway, everything went according to plan, right?”
I looked at the two detectives, and they also nodded seriously.
