Chapter 18 – The Female Detective Who Wants to Catch the Hypnotist
Anyone working at the Nakwon City Police Station receives a constant barrage of complaint calls.
It was a call saying that a man was molesting women on the street.
A sexual harassment case by an unidentified man has been going on for about a year already.
However, the identity of the culprit remains unknown.
In an era where there are CCTVs everywhere on the streets and all passers-by carry smartphones capable of recording video, it was strange that people who molested people on the street could not be arrested.
Usually, isn’t it normal to identify and catch the culprit within one day of the incident… ?
That was the biggest question for Detective Dahyun Kim, who was recently assigned to the Nakwon Police Station.
“A large number of women masturbating in public at an amusement park appeared, and even VIPs who tried to board a cruiser were clubbed by employees… What are you doing here? The whole world is a gist.”
“Detective Kim, what are you looking at so closely?”
“We were investigating strange phenomena that were occurring simultaneously.”
“Ah—you mean the ‘X Incident’.”
“X?”
“Incidents that cannot be understood by common sense continue to occur, but the culprit is never caught, so he is anonymous.”
The elderly chief of the investigation handed coffee to Da-hyun Kim, a new female detective full of passion.
Dahyun Kim longed for the image of a detective who catches criminals in a cool way since she was a child, but recently she was about to achieve her dream and become roaring with enthusiasm.
Mr. X?
An unsolved case that no one can catch the tail of?
If you solve this, you’ll become a celebrity all of a sudden, right?
Maybe an interview on the news, maybe a special promotion?
And above all, solving an unsolved case was her dream.
“I will catch X.”
When Kim Da-hyun, with her bun wrapped in a hair net and wearing a police cap, made a bombshell declaration, surprisingly, no one paid any attention.
Even the head of the investigation right in front of me was leisurely drinking coffee as if he hadn’t heard anything.
“Whoa~ The coffee is hot.”
“Captain, didn’t you hear? I’m going to catch X!”
“X? Aah, can’t I just grab it?”
“What are you talking about, you don’t have to catch me! How many women have been molested by X! Does it make sense that there are so many victims and no suspects?”
“What, doesn’t it matter?”
“It doesn’t matter… !”
Organizations of civil servants say that the principle of security and complacency is basic, but the police, who are supposed to be responsible for public safety, show such a carefree attitude.
Dahyun Kim had a headache as if her longing from childhood was being shattered.
However, you shouldn’t give up.
It will be the end if you lose your subjectivity and become eroded by the surrounding atmosphere like flowing water.
“I just need to change the police organization… If I catch X, sure!”
Just then, the phone rang at Dahyun Kim’s desk.
Coincidentally, it was a report call accusing Mr. X.
A man was complaining of damage as if he was urgent and unfair.
“Ah, it’s the police station?! Some crazy guy here ran away after massaging and kissing my girlfriend’s breasts! Please catch this dog! Please!”
“You ran away? Excuse me, but what did the reporter do when his girlfriend was being harassed?”
“I couldn’t move my body all of a sudden… 」
It’s X.
Dahyun Kim was sure.
The astounding and bizarre crime of neutralizing nearby men in a strange way and harassing only a woman was a method mainly used by X.
“I’ll go right away—”
“Detective Kim, give me a call.”
“Ah, Captain.”
When the class president, who seemed uninterested in X, asked for a report, Dahyun Kim was delighted and wondered if the senior detectives were finally giving up their will.
However, the old chief of investigations vainly betrayed her expectations.
“Oh, honey. It’s not a big deal, so don’t worry about it.”
“Captain?! How could you say that… ! I heard my girlfriend was molested!”
“Detective Kim, don’t worry about these things and do your job.”
“This is work! Catching a molester is my job!!”
“Whoa~ I’m still immature.”
“I have no iron! What the hell does the captain think about women’s crimes!!”
The rest of her anger filled her head, and Kim Da-hyun screamed at her boss.
Police officers who were working elsewhere are now starting to pay attention to Kim Da-hyun.
“Ah. Don’t mind. It looks like they are making a fuss to catch X.”
The atmosphere took a strange turn as the old chief investigator reassured her colleagues.
“Oh, it’s useless, but I’m wasting my time.”
“There’s not much to do~ That’s why police officers.”
“Aren’t you doing something else just to have fun?”
“I hang up on calls related to X as soon as I receive them.”
“Me too~”
‘What, what is this atmosphere… As if I was wrong… I’m just trying to catch the culprit?’
Dahyun Kim seemed to be afraid of the strange flow that she couldn’t adapt to.
The head of the investigation team placed his hand on Kim Da-hyun’s shoulder as if he were ignorant of his immaturity and gave advice.
“Hey, Detective Kim. Soon you won’t care as much about X as we do. Not my bet There are many things to do besides X. If you get a call from next time, just ignore it.”
“Keugh… !”
I couldn’t listen any more.
Strangely, I felt like I was being gaslighted.
Dahyun Kim nervously copied the caller’s address on a memo pad and stubbornly rejected the advice of the chief investigator.
“Nonsense! I’m going to catch X! I wonder what he will say when I bring him back!”
“Is that right?”
“I’m going to investigate! I won’t come until I catch X!”
“I won’t dry it.”
The head of the investigation team did not get angry at the enthusiasm of the new detective.
Just like the old people who are senior in life, they just stare at the wandering of the prodigal son.
The reaction of other colleagues was not very different.
“How many times? The detective who ran out to catch X.”
“I don’t know~ I even miss it now.”
“You just don’t have to worry about things like X.”
“That’s right. Let’s just not worry about it.”
“Well, Dahyun Kim will be the same as us anyway.”
As if the detectives were not impressed by Kim Da-hyun’s behavior, they joked around and went back to their work.
Only the old chief of investigation was guarding the vacant seat of Kim Da-hyun, who left for a long time with coffee.
“I hope you don’t come back as a faithful follower of X.”

“Ah! There it is! Are you the victim who made the call?”
Kim Da-hyun, who ran to the crime scene without the support of a colleague, interviewed the victim.
A couple was arguing on an ordinary road that had no features and was not particularly secluded.
The difference between the two was evident even when looking at the difference in facial expression between the man who actively greeted the police and the woman who was uncomfortable.
“Yes! You’re right! We are the victims!”
“No, you haven’t suffered any damage, have you? Why are you so burdened?”
My girlfriend felt uncomfortable as if she thought the man was overdoing it.
Dahyun Kim took out the investigation notebook and asked about his whereabouts.
“X, so what did the culprit do?”
“That crazy bastard told my girlfriend—”
“Self! She looks like a crazy baby. I’ll tell you, at least stay still. The policeman will misunderstand.”
The woman started making statements on behalf of her horny lover.
Her expression was so calm and serene that she could hardly be considered a victim of sexual assault.
The only thing she was uncomfortable with was her exaggerated boyfriend’s reaction.
“It’s nothing, detective. I was just touched and kissed a little bit.”
“Isn’t that a big deal, you?! Are you really crazy?! Why are you so calm after getting your breasts massaged by a man you don’t know!”
“Ha~ It’s nothing to be angry about, right? Besides, my face isn’t your type, so I even withdrew like a gentleman and said I wouldn’t touch her pussy, but I wasn’t molested.”
“Under! Haha!”
The man held his forehead and burst out laughing, as if the situation was so absurd.
He was taunting the detective by pointing the finger at her girlfriend.
“You see? Because he’s crazy I think I lost my mind for a while because I was molested.”
“No… It’s normal.”
“Yes? Is that normal?! Did you even go crazy, detective?”
“Because this is X’s method.”
The reason why X’s identity was unclear was because the police organization was strangely uncooperative in X’s investigation, but the main reason was that the victims did not actively help in uncovering his identity.
“It doesn’t really matter, right?” “Rape? I was beaten, but I don’t have any intention of reporting it.” “Ah, I just lent you my pussy.” “I don’t need the help of the police. It’s not that I was molested, it was just that a man I didn’t know touched my pussy.” “Ah, I was deeply kissed? It’s nothing, right? That guy’s spittle on his face? So?」
Victims unanimously stated that they had no intention of suing X.
So the investigation can’t progress!
“Babe. I’ve never been molested, and it’s more embarrassing that he does this, really. Are you calling the police overly? The cops are busy.”
The response of this woman, who does not get angry at all even when her breasts are touched, is in line with the reactions of the victims in the past.
I’m missing this.
X appeared.
“If… That man, do you know where he ran away?”
“Ah, I went after him anyway. That bastard is now entering a family house and is not coming out. I think that’s the centipede’s house. Go get some.”
I’m so lucky.
The reporter followed X and even specified his address.
“Thank you. I will be responsible for catching X, so trust the police!”
“Whoa, please.”
Kim Da-hyun pressed the doorbell at the house the reporter taught her to.
In the investigation notebook, “Finally found X’s house. The prime suspect’s mother came out the front door. She is a very beautiful looking woman. From now on, she will break into X’s house, interrogate X, and then arrest her.”
Kim Da-hyun, a new female detective full of passion, entered Kim Ho-young’s house.
