Chapter 117 – The Internet Taxidermy (1)
Monday morning.
After watching the morning news, I was able to go to work in a good mood for the first time in a while.
Restriction on coverage of special forces investigations.
The so-called evil law suppressing freedom of speech was finally passed.
Of course, it is the media that claims to be an evil law… From my point of view, it was a necessary bill.
“Master, why is this law so important?”
“That’s right, Hunter’s criminal investigation is basically based on the principle of presumption of guilt.”
All other investigations can’t help but be presumed guilty…
Hunter crime, by its nature, is much more serious.
Once they become the target of an investigation, they shut up, arrest them, and search for them until something really comes out.
In fact, there have been a number of cases where evidence has been found quite narrowly.
However, in this case, being branded as a suspect by the media could cause irreversible damage.
That’s all.
So far, the media has only held us back.
On the other hand, there are almost no cases where it was helpful to the investigation.
‘Ordinary cops don’t know. We’ll use Blanche and hit the search right away…’
Without necessarily using Blanche, Special Forces investigators have unrestricted access to the Association’s database.
On the other hand, the media stood in front of the Special Forces office and interfered whenever we were dispatched.
I quit these days, but because of that, I even went to work undercover.
It’s not that the media doesn’t have a positive function, but there are too many negative influences.
“It’s human psychology to react more sensitively to bad news than to good news. It’s wise to prevent things in advance before they happen.”
Originally, I wanted to do it a little earlier, but it took me a long time to ‘convince’ the political world.
Tia was taken aback by the story.
“Didn’t the president help? We ate and drank tea together, didn’t we?”
“Others will misunderstand if they hear it. That man is about to end his term of office, so he’s a bit of a jerk…”
“Aha!”
Of course, the possibility of re-election was considerable, so the nobleman did not die completely.
Yeriel also seemed to want him re-elected.
‘I said it’s an easy-to-use small boat.’
I went up to the office and opened Tia’s snack bar for the first time in a while.
One of my drawers was already full of sweets.
Tia started stroking her tail her with Kerr, licking her lips, then using a thunderclap to select.
“Hee hee. I’m going to have potato chips today.”
Alice, as well as I, began to watch with a look of anticipation.
Tia’s pick is pretty good.
I don’t know anything else about this guy, but he’s infinitely serious about food, so I wonder if he’ll sell well even if he makes and puts out a bundle of goods.
Thanks to that, I also gained a bit of weight by stealing from the side.
Tia, who was comparing several potato chips, saying that this one was salty and that one was thick, poured several types of potato chips into the largest bag and mixed them together.
“So it’s best to eat them all at once!”
“I eat like that and even eat lunch.”
“Human food is always delicious.”
“Wait, I opened 5 bags, did they all fit in one?”
“That’s right. It’s really nonsense, isn’t it?”
Truly nitrogen chips.
I took some of it away and tried to touch the papers, but Tia quickly wiped his fingers with a wet towel.
Even the rattle is enough to exclaim.
Turning on the desktop, I clicked my tongue when I saw the mail from the company.
“Blanche’s additional upgrade… You son of Matthew, aren’t you doing nonsense again?”
While I was a little anxious.
Kim Jeong-tae brought today’s incident.
“Chief, it’s a Hunter suicide case.”
“Suicide? Why does suicide come to the special unit?”
Of course, it’s not that the special unit doesn’t even investigate the suicide case at all…
Since most cases are sent to the police, there must be very clear circumstances for a suicide case to come this far.
At least, it should be at the level of suicide due to external pressure.
Kim Jung-tae nodded heavily and borrowed my desktop for a while.
While Tia and Kerr ate potato chips as quietly as possible next to him, he accessed an Internet site.
“The suicide was a retired hunter with a history of assaulting civilians… He was receiving psychiatric treatment for severely low self-esteem and paranoia.”
“By the way, what is this site? Internet Taxidermy?”
“Yes. It is said to be a popular site recently, but the personal details of the suicide were posted here.”
On the site, the identities of various criminals were posted along with photos.
Kim Jung-tae finds the page without much difficulty.
The page of the suicide has not yet been deleted and remains intact.
[Shin Jae-han. Former hunter. Previous conviction for assault on civilians. Date of Incident – X Day, X Month, Year XX. The current address is […
“Now, wait. What the hell is this?”
I was amazed at the detailed information beyond my imagination.
Isn’t it that the site is not a simple personal information level, but the current address and phone number intact.
Kim Jeong-tae nodded his head with a dark face.
“It’s about keeping the personal details of the criminals.”
“…Why?”
“According to the management’s claim, the current judicial system in Korea is not functioning properly…”
“Private sanctions. Did Shin, who committed suicide, actually suffer from this site?”
“That’s right. Until now, Shin’s cell phone has been receiving malicious text messages and phone calls.”
To really push the back of someone who was already suffering from paranoia.
Assaulting civilians isn’t a good thing, but…
Punishing in this way is going too far.
I took a closer look at the site, thinking that additional victims could come out at any time.
The management of the site was appealing their integrity with large advertisements.
‘Internet Taxidermy is not a site established for the purpose of advertising revenue.’
‘Criminals registered at taxidermists are thoroughly screened and posted with perfect evidence that no one can refute…’ It claims.
However, the ‘evidence’ of criminals disclosed on the site was insignificant.
If it was a quote from an internet article, it’s a nobleman, and most of them couldn’t escape the level of rumors like, ‘Who said that?’
In fact, the investigative ability of those who run the site in this way is really obvious.
“But the Korea Communications Commission won’t block this, what are you doing?”
“False information falls far short of the KCC’s standard of 70%, and there is also a public interest purpose, so we’ll wait and see for now…”
“… That disclosing personal information of criminals without permission is a public interest purpose? Is that what government agencies are saying?”
And what if an innocent victim comes along?
They say bullshit even though they are not responsible for it.
It doesn’t make sense to say that it’s 70% in the first place.
If false information is 69%, where on earth is it a normal site?
Of course, it can be seen as a criterion for not blindly overdoing censorship, but…
In the first place, the KCC itself has never adhered to that standard.
In particular, it is an institution with double standards that is infinitely strict when it comes to pornography.
Let’s take a look at social media to see how many users there are… This isn’t even a fuss.
The management side collected only messages cheering for them and displayed them beautifully.
People were sending abusive texts to criminals’ phone numbers and making a fuss as if they had done something great.
“Are you famous already?”
“Everybody seems excited about joining the crime. I’m coming after a quick call.”
I made one phone call to Yeriel and the site went down before long.
Despite making noise as if they had some great standards, they changed their minds very quickly.
If left as it is, it was obvious that the second and third taxidermy factories would appear, so I decided to move quickly.
“Can’t you catch the operators?”
“It’s an overseas server, so it takes some time.”
“Okay, let’s leave that to the police.”
“Master. By the way, in the end, the identity of the criminals will be revealed, so do we really have to catch them?”
Tia tilted her head and asked next to me.
In fact, the punishment of criminals so far has been somewhat arbitrary.
I explained the problem with the site as simply as possible.
“Where is the guarantee that they will disclose ‘only the criminals’ identities?’
“Ah…”
Even if only the personal information of the criminals is uploaded, that is only the management’s claim.
If you do a little bit, you can sneak in people you normally hate.
“How can you trust the words of those who hide without revealing their faces or names? At least I haven’t turned innocent people into criminals.”
“Then…Then I’ll have to catch it soon.”
“Once I blocked access, I let go of my worries…”
While I was mumbling like that.
Kim Jeong-tae brought new news with a heavy face.
“Chief. This is the news from the Busan police. A hunter criminal posted on the internet taxidermist was killed…”
“You kill the Hunter?”
“Yes. I guess…”
Kim Jeong-tae shoved in the photos of the scene and slightly lowered his head.
I clicked my tongue inwardly when I saw a familiar sign.
“It seems to be the work of fake green dust.”
“Come to think of it, he must really like something like this. Did his broken leg get better?”
The worst combination imaginable has been completed.
We sighed deeply and prepared for the overtime shift.
