Chapter 118 – The Internet Taxidermy (2)
We took a closer look at the materials sent by the Busan crew.
The corpse was left with both hands nailed to the wall, just like last time.
On the wall next to it, there are marks and phrases that aren’t even funny.
In addition, the victim was a hunter who was an A-rank during active duty.
Even after he retired, he was an emergency caller, so it wouldn’t have been easy to kill him.
This case must be the work of the fake green dust.
“… What is the victim’s crime?”
“It’s sexual harassment. It’s actually a verdict.”
“What exactly is molestation?”
“I am accused of harassing female hunters under the pretext of joining a guild and participating in raids during my active career. Prostitution was also at the level of a habitual offender.”
Kim Jeong-tae said based on the database of the association, not the data of the Internet taxidermist.
It seems that he was fortunately not a victim of misfortune.
While my head was congested, I briefly summarized the situation.
“For now, the fake Green Dust’s work is certain.”
“Chief. Is there any guarantee that this case is fake?”
When Lee Seo-woo raised his hand and asked, the teammates around him gave stinging glances…
Fortunately, he was focused on me.
I waved my hand behind my back and calmed my teammates down.
“Because the real thing isn’t this childish.”
“Is that so? It’s really formidable. Especially the mask part is a bit bad.”
“Eh…”
Alice, who had a strange smile behind her, took her back.
I gave her instructions for the investigation and took her to her room.
Driven to her wall her, Alice smiled awkwardly, avoiding my eyes.
“What the hell is wrong with you!”
“I… I have a record of fighting the real one, so it’s strange if I don’t help out at least a word.”
“No, is my mask that bad?”
“Ah. Was that the story? It was okay that it changed later…”
“Right?”
It can’t be helped that the initial costume was worn out.
At that time, it was not my fault because it was a lack of budget and lack of know-how.
When I was finally satisfied, Alice closed her eyes tightly.
Anyway, catching him is the priority right now.
After reconciling with Alice, when I went back to the common office, Kim Jeong-tae suddenly held out his smartphone.
“Chief, I think you should see this.”
“Stop it, really…”
“Ah. I’m sorry.”
“… No. What’s wrong with you, Jung-tae? What else?”
The site has already been shut down, but they announced the address of the new site early on.
There was a vote going on on a site that was like a duplicate of the original…
The content was very absurd.
The management of the internet taxidermist was selecting criminals with a lot of sympathy and voting on what punishment would be appropriate for them.
Internet jury system, so to speak.
It is absurd to judge criminals who have already been sentenced again, but they are doing it against internet addicts.
The cult of displeasure was immediately afterwards.
[The offender will be punished in the way that he received the most votes. Green Dust is with us!]
“Chew…”
Now that I see it, it seems that such a vote was already conducted before the site was closed.
The fake green dust and management team were already working together.
“Why can’t the site be closed? You just added a number to the end of the original address!”
“The committee says it needs to be reviewed again.”
“Under…”
From the point of view of the Korea Communications Commission, it is to follow the procedure, but from the point of view of the investigative agency, it is crazy.
Besides, these guys have already left work.
In fact, blocking access to the site is useless, but you can easily access it by using a VPN anyway.
Korea is an internet powerhouse, so there are so many netizens who know how to do that.
I watched the voting situation with a nervous feeling.
The protagonist of this vote is a former hunter with a criminal record for robbery and murder.
He has already served more than 10 years in a hunter-only prison.
More than 500 people have already participated in the vote, and the death penalty was overwhelming.
The other options are also not very normal, so stripping naked and throwing it on the street or dismembering the body belong to the moderate axis.
There is also a confinement type, which is literally confined like an animal in a corner somewhere.
“This sucks, really.”
This wouldn’t have happened if these people had been brought in as real jurors.
Actual jurors will realize with their skin that they have decided the life of the defendant in court.
That’s why jurors tend to give sentences a little less.
But the anonymity of the Internet was a cruel thing.
In addition, the thoughts and attitudes of those who dared to visit the site, which has already become an issue, were very obvious.
They wanted to run amok on the fire from the beginning.
“How about SNS?”
“It’s a mess because of the murder in Busan.”
Criminals not properly judged by the courts.
How thrilling it is to execute them with their own hands.
I think this is what true democracy is.
Democracy, however, is only the least bad of all political systems that have ever existed.
There are also many problems with the strict punishment system that netizens are recklessly insisting on.
The biggest problem with strict punishment is that it is virtually impossible to realize.
“It’s really strict punishment as if it were drawn in a painting.”
Strict punishment is the key to punishing ‘all crimes’ severely.
If you look at this and punish that severely, there is no meaning of strict punishment.
The problem is that blindly hitting the sentence hard is not very helpful in preventing crime.
From the point of view of ordinary people, even thinking about 3 years in prison or 20 years in prison is just as absurd.
Ordinary people feel that their lives are ruined the moment they enter prison.
In fact, most violent criminals have a different mindset.
Keeping them in prison for a long time might help a bit right now, but…
Anyway, the real important thing is whether punishment can be done fairly and without omission.
Distrust of the judiciary will continue anyway if people are killed and released on bail, as in the US.
Since it costs a lot of money to realize strict punishment, there is no choice but to end up with extreme genetic innocence.
It sounds good when you say it, but it’s an ideal that is impossible to realize in the first place.
It’s like socialism.
Even if the operators of the site are garbage with no way to save them, even fake green dust joins in.
My stomach burned in frustration.
“Blanche, come quickly. I’m going crazy…”
“Can you catch Blanche even if you use a VPN?”
“Of course. Let’s protect this guy first. If possible, I’d like Yeriel to come too…”
“Wait. Is that fake green dust?”
Alice grabbed me and asked me softly, and I nodded her head.
Its ability to move and utilize shadows is specialized for assassination, so even if Alice and I attack at once, there is no guarantee that we will be able to protect the escort target.
“Didn’t that bastard awaken at about the same time as you?”
“That’s true, but he’s a fraudulent talent and has little practical experience… He must be getting stronger day by day, right?”
“Umm…”
Fortunately, the protection measures were handled fairly easily.
The target, who discovered his bounty on social media, requested protection from a nearby police station.
I contacted the relevant office while calling for joy in my heart.
“Then, please transfer the subject of protection to the association right now. We must proceed as quietly as possible.”
[Gee, right now? It’s too late, so manpower isn’t enough…]
“If the police station is attacked by hunters, can you guys deal with it? One has already died in Busan.”
[Ah… I see. Then I will transfer it right away.]
The police were skeptical about whether they would do that, but…
Thanks to the Busan incident, they cooperated meekly.
Fake green dust has already crossed the line.
I couldn’t help but leave the office with Alice.
“Meet me!”
“Uh, so far?”
“Even if the site operators don’t know, fake green dust isn’t stupid. They must have been prepared before the voting started.”
The vote is virtually equivalent to a premonition of a crime.
However, I heard the sad news before the elevator even reached the underground parking lot.
[Person subject to protection, deodorization during transfer!]
“What? Takeover?”
I didn’t expect the police to act properly, but…
I never thought it would come off so quickly
After all, he had the plan properly prepared.
“Were you monitoring the victim? Since you went all the way to Busan, the time must have been tight, right?”
“If I had been monitoring the victim in the first place, I don’t think I would have let her go to the police station.”
“I don’t know. They may be declaring war on us… No. Even so, the risk is too great.”
If you get hit like this, the police will never let you go.
Even if we originally didn’t intend to just move on, that side would be infinitely sincere.
Currently, fake green dust is almost in a runaway state.
In the end, I sat in the driver’s seat and thought about it, and decided to write a foul.
Blanche can’t be used right now, but it’s not much help in apprehending the fake Green Dust anyway…
I have one more foul tool than that.
I left work and used it as soon as the front door opened.
“Baby, help me.”
Yeriel smiled brightly at my request and nodded.
