Chapter 107 – Stalking (2)
[I hate humans.]
Right after returning home.
Blanche made a frightening sound out of nowhere.
Thanks to that, I closed my eyes as soon as I got off the elevator.
“I’ve been looking for it… I heard that there are things in the world that are better off not knowing?”
[Why do humans make things like that?]
Blanche seemed to have been looking for the hateful meme I used to catch the criminal.
Tia was talking nonsense when I entered the front door, making an excuse to him.
“Be careful! If you talk like that, you might be killed too.”
“Ugh! Where is this guy from, King God, General Blanche, the future of mankind…”
“Eh… Eek? Master. Blanche seems to be treated very differently from me?”
“Wouldn’t it be weird if we were treated the same as you, who wastes Coke every day?”
“Boo…”
After having dinner with Tia, who is unnecessarily unfair, he checks the report of the team members who went out to investigate the house.
Yeriel scolded me, but she spied on it.
“Seobang-nim, you say you need to rest well at home?”
“Sorry. I’ll finish it soon.”
“Anyway, this case is definitely interesting.”
She already knew about the stalking incident because Yeri El also helped her through her remote work her in her spare time.
She stared at her picture of her suspect’s house as it was, then muttered softly.
“Something…Strange.”
“Is that so? You’re too clean for a stalker.”
“Yes. Above all, I feel no love for the victim.”
“Well?”
I listened with great bewilderment to the opinion from a completely different perspective.
Yeriel explained not only the photos but also the text records one by one.
“It was said that he stalked the victim because he liked the victim, but there was not a single text message in the distance, right? Since we even raided the dungeon together, we could have figured out his contact number his.”
“If you do something like that, the evidence will remain.
“That’s why you don’t feel any love at all. If you’re really obsessed with the victim, to the point of stalking him, do you think you can go through all of that?”
“Umm…”
When I heard it, it certainly made sense.
If that kind of discernment goes well, you won’t be stalking in the first place.
In addition, not a single picture of the victim was found in the perpetrator’s home.
I didn’t expect to see voyeur photos or videos I took myself, but…
Not having a single profile picture is definitely odd.
“But the victim was actually stalked. The perpetrator admitted it.”
“Yes.”
“In other words, although I stalked, I don’t think I was sexually attracted to the victim. It must have been because of other ulterior motives.”
Alice jumped beside her as Yeriel nodded her head at my reasoning.
“So you’re saying you were trying to kill or kill the victim?”
“No, the probability of that is very low. The perpetrator had no previous records of the same type or different types. Until this incident, he was a very clean and exemplary hunter.”
And usually, crimes such as murder or assault are committed against those who seem weaker than themselves.
A battle-type hunter who is much stronger than himself is not a very suitable opponent.
It wasn’t that I didn’t start my investigation after checking to see if I was really being stalked.
“There are no photos or video materials at all, so it’s hard to see it as a sexual perversion.”
“Then… Stealing?”
“That way is much more persuasive.”
I immediately called Seo Ji-yu and changed the instructions.
“Mr. Jiyu, investigate the victim right now.”
[Yes? Not the perpetrator, but the victim?]
“Yeah, if my intuition is right, there’s something there too.”
[Oh okay.]
The mail sent by the victim was claiming an ordinary stalking crime.
There is a reason, but it means that it is a reason that we cannot proudly reveal to us.
I searched the victim’s smartphone using Blanche, but it was also clean.
“These days, all the suspects use their electronic devices very cleanly. Shouldn’t there have been lectures in Japan?”
“Wouldn’t that have reduced the crime rate a bit?”
“Well… Let’s go back to the beginning.”
As I sorted out the case according to the passage of time, I immediately realized something suspicious.
“Something happened in the dungeon.”
“Yes?”
“The victim and the perpetrator started to connect after the recent dungeon raid. Until then, there was no point of contact at all.”
“Oh, come to think of it, did you say that you became interested in the incident in the dungeon?”
The victim and the perpetrator were left alone in the dungeon.
This record can be trusted because the other members who participated in the raid also verified it.
The question is, what happened to the two of them then…
Suddenly, I looked back at Tia and felt a flash of lightning strike in my head.
“Yeah, that’s right… That’s how it happened.”
“Huh? What?”
“It’s all right now. I never thought this would continue like this.”
After organizing my thoughts with a wry smile, I gave a new order to Blanche.
“Blanche, from now on, figure out the victim Ha Ji-eun’s movements in real time.”
[I will proceed. I hate humans.]
How can this guy grumble like this?
It seems to have been hurt quite a bit.
I comforted him and took a pleasant bath.
Yeriel, who had changed into a swimsuit very casually, squawked again and tried to take the position of the rubber duck.
“I-over there…”
“Seobang-nim, try changing your taste from time to time. It might be better than now, right?”
“…If you say so.”
To be honest, it’s a bit difficult for me to wash my back alone, so I decided to give it a try.
I asked Yeriel out of the blue while taking a bath.
“But I quickly realized that I didn’t feel the love.”
“Yeah, I’m an experienced person too. Later, would you like to see the photos and clippings of articles I’ve collected?”
“Ah… No.”
Around the time I finished taking a bath with Yeriel, who was strangely sullen.
Just then, I got a call from Blanche.
[Master. Currently, victim Ha Ji-eun is on the move.]
“Where?”
[The destination is still unknown, but we are not using our own vehicle, and we are trying to avoid CCTV as much as possible. I even wore a mask for some reason.]
This is it.
Full of confidence, I put on my jacket again.
“I haven’t worked overtime lately, so shall we go? I think I know the destination.”
“Where is that?”
“Black market.”
“Yes?”
Alice was slightly puzzled, but she quickly left the front door.
Yeriel also accompanied the scene after a long time.
On the way to the car, I explained the scenario of this incident.
“The victim Ha Ji-eun and the perpetrator actually fell out during the dungeon raid. However, the two intentionally hid one fact from their teammates.”
“Hide the fact…?”
“Yes. The two of them found rare and expensive Hunter loot at the time of their fall.”
“Ah!”
Alice also bit her tongue as if she had finally caught on.
I generously explained it for Tia, who still had a bewildered face.
“Usually, when loot is found, it is deposited with the association and sold through official channels. The distribution ratio varies depending on the guild and strategy team…”
“Well, the rule is that people under 5,000 are normally equally distributed.”
I thanked Alice for her explanation of her and continued her explanation of her.
Tia was very excited about the amount of 5,000.
“With 50 million won, I can buy as much as I want! Even the mango bingsu I saw in the last photo…”
“Are you really just looking for pictures of food all day? Well… But that’s not the case. Let’s do some simple math here.”
“Number, math?”
Usually dungeons are attacked with at least 6 people, so the basic 6th place… But I’m going to have a good time.
At this point, 5,000 has already been divided into 1,000.
But that’s not all.
“The dungeon loot takes off a lot of taxes and sales commissions, so I subtract 200 more from it, and when I get the loot, the Pension Service compulsorily pays a special pension.”
“You are too much!”
So, even if you luckily pick up a 5,000-dollar jackpot, you’ll end up getting around 500 to 600 in your hand.
It is only about 10% of the original.
But… What if the two share it?
Only then did Tia roughly guess the development of the incident.
“Aha! So you two stole it?”
“That’s right. The two were actually accomplices, not victims and perpetrators.”
Since it was the spoils found thanks to the fallout from the main unit, they must have thought that it belonged to them.
If you hide the loot like this and later deal with it through the dark route, the amount that falls into your hands will be much larger.
Of course, the black market also takes a lot of fees, and eats up about 30% of it, but…
Even if you do that, 70% will remain.
Divide this into 2 equals 35%.
If you get billions of hunter loot, it’s worth trying smuggling enough.
I don’t know if other team members witnessed the scene.
There were only two people on the scene at the right time, so it was truly a God-given opportunity.
The two men managed to conspire on the spot and decide to smuggle the loot.
Originally, the plan was to proceed with sales and distribution as quickly as possible, but…
It was at this point that the problem arose.
“But why did you deal with it now?”
“That’s because the black market didn’t work properly until now.”
“Huh? Why?”
“Fake green dust. Last time he completely destroyed a black market place, so everyone’s been saving themselves up until now.”
“Ah… That, does that lead to that?”
Upon learning the full story of the incident, Alice gave a small admiration.
Earlier, I was also really shocked.
When her booty her took too long to process, her assailant her stalked her, thinking her accomplice her was trying to monopolize her belongings her.
Stalking for financial purposes, not for love!
So there was no way I could feel love for the victim or anything.
The victim asked for help from the Special Forces to get him off, but he didn’t seem to have guessed that we were able to dig this far.
In any case, it may have been that he was really trying to keep all the loot to himself.
We ran into the black market that just reopened today.
