Chapter 40 – Song of the Wild Goose (3)
Criminals caught in the black market went mad as soon as they saw the association’s headquarters.
I threw the struggling bastards into the restraining room and prepared for interrogation.
Alice, who didn’t seem to understand the situation yet, asked from the point of view.
“Who the hell contracted the victim’s murder?”
“Mr. Kim Woo-joo.”
“What?”
If I’m right, Mr. Kim Woo-joo is not a murderer, but a murderer.
That’s just embarrassing
I began to go through the materials confiscated from the broker and explain them in chronological order.
“It’s cumbersome to explain several times, so I’ll tell you according to the timeline. Listen carefully.”
“Great.”
“Now, wait!”
Seo Ji-yu runs outside the prison cell with a cup of coffee.
I sent her back to her cool.
“Jiyu, I only drink one cup of coffee a day. I’m sensitive to caffeine, so bring it with a non-sweet drink.”
“I’ll deliver it.”
“Hey, a lot of money.”
“I’m the owner of a cafe after all.”
“…”
Seriously, should I just throw him in jail?
I shook my head with difficulty and began to explain.
“Please see if my reasoning is correct. Mr. Kim Woo-joo is a wild goose father who has been dispatched abroad for many years. He has been working diligently up until now, and his family has never had remittances cut off.”
“…”
“By the way, Mr. Kim Woo-joo became suspicious of his wife’s affair before returning to Korea.
That is the evidence that Mr. Kim Woo-joo submitted in the divorce suit.
Up to this point, Alice and Seo Ji-yu must have guessed roughly.
Alice asked with a sudden flash of light in her eyes.
“Then did Mr. Kim Woo-joo decide to kill her wife from then on?”
“No. I don’t think so. He wouldn’t have thought of killing me in the first place. If he did, he wouldn’t have filed for divorce.”
Kim Woo-joo’s story spread widely on the Internet and became a hot topic in its own way.
Of course, it wasn’t until after the murder case that rumors started to ignite, but even before that, people who were in the know already knew about it.
If he hadn’t filed for divorce, he would have had a chance to deal with his wife much more quietly and discreetly.
Alice also nodded at my logic.
“Ah, you’re right.”
“I’ll continue. At first, I didn’t even want to kill him. I think he just wanted to file a divorce suit and break up nicely. However, during the divorce proceedings, a problem that Kim Woo-joo had never imagined occurred.”
“An unexpected problem?”
“Is there a division of property?”
I laughed at Seo Ji-yu’s fresh opinion.
“No. Usually when you think of divorce, the first thing that comes to mind is property division or alimony.”
“Ah… That’s right.”
“The court acknowledged the victim’s affair. Thanks to that, the alimony was paid by the victim, not Kim Woo-joo. Besides, the division of property went quite well in Kim’s favor.”
After thoroughly preparing, Kim Woo-joo entered the divorce suit.
An excellent hunter, he was also an excellent tactician.
A fight that jumped in with 100% certainty of victory.
The materials he prepared were very effective in the process of property division.
“The original spouse at fault… So, even if the spouse committed an affair, that fact is not reflected in the property division process.”
“What, what? Is that true?”
“Yes. You can get alimony from your spouse, but property division is completely different.”
And usually, the alimony is about 30 million won at most.
Compared to the amount that Mr. Kim Woo-joo remitted to his family, the money was not enough!
By the way, Mr. Kim Woo-joo succeeded in not only obtaining alimony but also protecting almost all of his property.
“The victim was a full-time housewife, but she had little to no contribution to the family’s wealth formation process. Instead of succeeding in investing or saving money, she rather spent money on receiving money. When she got married, she rarely stayed in a coma.”
“…”
“Thanks to that, the property division ratio was almost 100 to 0.”
“Well, that could be seen as the realization of justice.”
I couldn’t help but agree with Seo Ji-yu’s words.
As everyone knows, the result ended in tragedy.
Alice tilted her head as if she didn’t quite understand.
“Then, actually, Mr. Kim Woo-joo won almost all of them, right? But why did you try to kill her wife?”
“I kept my property well, but I couldn’t protect the most important thing.”
“The most important thing? Ah…”
Alice, who recalled Kim Woo-joo’s family, noticed her circumstances belatedly.
I affirmed it with a heavy heart.
“Yes, custody of the two children.”
“No, that’s nonsense…”
As explained earlier, Kim Woo-joo had children aged 7 and 8, respectively.
Both were girls… Kim Woo-joo was unable to obtain custody of the daughters.
Surprisingly, the Divorce Mediation Committee raised the hand of the victim, not Kim Woo-joo.
“I’ve had an affair… Can someone like that get custody?”
“You may think it’s ridiculous, but it’s possible.”
Even if her marriage ended because of her wife’s infidelity, it does not prevent her from taking her children.
Family courts and mediation committees consider various factors to distribute custody…
In this case, it worked very subtly.
“First of all, since Kim Woo-joo is a wild goose father, he couldn’t spend much time with his children. Therefore, the children didn’t want to go to Kim Woo-joo. What do such young children know? “
“That, that can’t be helped. What about your wife’s affair? Maybe, but that doesn’t affect it at all, does it?”
Seo Ji-yu, who suddenly became Kim Woo-joo’s side.
I proceeded with the explanation step by step.
“If a wife can prove that she neglected her parenting by flirting with her adulterous partner, she has an advantage in a custody dispute. But not this time.”
The victim met a man of incest only three times…
It was commonly known as being eaten and thrown away.
In the custody dispute, that worked in their favor.
“She’d only dated three times, so it couldn’t be said that she neglected parenting because of the affair.”
“That doesn’t even sound funny.”
“I wanted to meet you more, but I just couldn’t…”
“Plus, the fact that they’re both girls is part of it.”
Seo Ji-yu, who had been shivering a little, suddenly came up with another idea.
“Wait. But why did the victim bother to take custody?
“Probably because of child support.”
“Child support?”
Seo Ji-yu made a creepy face as if she was afraid to hear more here.
But I didn’t stop.
“Kim Woo-joo is a high-income class with an annual salary of 100 million won. That’s about 4.6 million won.”
“460…”
Enough money to feed and live comfortably, not only for two children, but also for the victim himself!
The amount of child support even rises more and more until the children turn 18.
Since the children were 7 and 8 years old respectively, the victim would receive a pension every month for the longest 10 years.
After the divorce, the victim, who had no decent source of income, aimed for it without hesitation.
“Then… Did Mr. Kim Woo-joo not accept it?”
“Right.”
Aside from money, there was no way he wanted to entrust custody of the children to his wife who played with an adulterous man.
In fact, Kim Woo-joo tried to reach an agreement with the victim.
He said that he would send 6 million won each month instead of 460, so he asked for full custody of his daughters.
However, the victim rejected Kim Woo-joo’s promise because he did not believe it.
“Then finally…”
“Yeah. Maybe that’s when he decided to kill.”
Of course, it was not Kim Woo-joo’s intention to openly kill in a cafe in broad daylight.
At this point, I asked Alice a question.
“Alice, what would you do if you wanted to kill someone?”
“That’s right, they’ll bury it in a dungeon or something.”
“No… I’m sorry. I guess I was asking too high a level question for you.”
“What?”
I waved my hand and apologized, pretending I didn’t hear Alice’s answer, and explained again.
“Yes. You’re not going to kill yourself, you’ll have someone else do it. You’re a rich and famous hunter!”
“Ah…”
Only then did Alice catch her breath and cover her mouth.
I’m glad I learned quickly though.
“Besides, isn’t it noisy because of our special investigation team these days? It’s stupid to commit a hunter crime directly to someone close to this situation. Because you’ll be the first to be suspected anyway. It actually happened that way. “
“But you ordered a hitman and it failed? Why is that?”
“It’s a common tragedy of subcontractors.”
It costs about 30 to 50 million won to kill an average person.
The hunters caught this time are much more expensive, so I must have given them at least 200 million.
Hunters are much less at risk of being discovered because they use their abilities to commit murder.
However, the tragedy of subcontracting is alive and well here.
Because the broker is a role that connects customers and vendors, the more you cut off from the middle, the more your income increases.
So, as a result, a much poorer level of supplier than what Kim Woo-joo ordered came to the fore.
“As the court date was approaching, Mr. Kim Woo-joo made an advance payment to the broker in a hurry. That was the biggest mistake.”
“Ah…”
Brokers in the black market are brokers in name only, but in reality, they are department stores of crimes, committing all sorts of crimes, such as fraud, theft, and murder.
Of course, if you have the opportunity, you will also cheat customers.
As a result.
The assassin, who was hired by the broker, came up with a wicked plan.
Just in time, the ability of Kim Woo-joo, the client, was the same as the person himself.
“Then, in the end, it was Kim Woo-joo who killed the victim, not the contractor?”
“That’s right. He killed Kim Woo-joo in a situation where there was no choice but to be suspicious and got him arrested. He must have thought that since he had carried out the request, he would be properly paid. Disguising the incident as an accident and running away from the investigation is It’s difficult and dangerous even for professionals…”
It was fortunate that his escape was delayed.
It seems that there was a problem due to the payment of wages… In the end, it was ruined because it did not cooperate like a criminal.
I changed my guess to certainty by discovering the data requested by Kim Woo-joo on the broker’s computer.
“I left it too.”
“Why did you leave such evidence behind?”
“That’s how you can threaten them later and eat them over and over again. They’re completely third-rate scoundrels. You shouldn’t even have business with people like that.”
“…”
I decided to call Woo Joo Kim into the interrogation room to close the case.
