Chapter 77 – The Hunter Pet Murder Case (2)
Unfortunately, the victim’s wife did not give a very helpful testimony.
The sudden loss of her husband must have shocked her.
Even she was a member of the guild, so she was familiar with her assailant her, Jang Min-ho.
It seems that he even brought snacks to Jang Min-ho’s hunter pet every day.
Instead, we went to the crime scene, the Guild House, and began our investigation.
“It’s no joke. It’s a complete mess, right?”
“That’s because it was so hot that it could burn a person to death in an instant.”
The living room of the Guild House was a real mess.
Most of the windows were broken due to the tyranny, and the walls and ceiling were also charred.
The furniture fell over and was a mess.
In the meantime, Kim Jeong-tae skillfully conducted the investigation.
“… It’s not a sniping. There are no bullet marks at all.”
“Is this where the victim stood?”
“Penetrate from a close range of less than 20m… Looking at the footprints, it is clear that it was a surprise attack from behind.”
When I checked the scene, it became even more certain.
This incident was not just an accident, but a deliberate surprise attack.
At first, I thought Cerberus was behind his victim’s back his and then attacked… Now that’s nonsense.
In this case, the turn of the three standing would be like this.
[Jang Min-ho – Victim – Cerberus]
What if Cerberus attacked the victim in this composition?
Then the aftermath of the attack would have reached Jang Min-ho and severely burned him.
The victim suffered a penetrating wound to the heart, and there was even a rather loud explosion right after that.
Jang Min-ho, who was standing opposite the victim, should also be burned to be normal.
‘But Jang Min-ho was fine. In other words, Cerberus and Minho Jang were in the same direction.’
[Jang Min-ho, Cerberus – Victim]
No matter how you look at it, this is the correct composition.
If a flame attack had been applied in this composition, the victim’s body would have been a shield and the damage to Jang Min-ho and Cerberus would have been minimized.
“The statement itself was a lie. I go back to Jang Min-ho.”
Of course, Jang Min-ho actively denied his crime.
Nom made the above statement to blame Hunter Pet.
Now, if you turn it over again, it becomes an ordinary murder.
“Hey, Jang Min-ho. You gave the attack order to Cerberus.”
“No! Why am I killing the same guild member? It’s because he attacked on his own!”
“But why was the victim, Park Jin-wook, attacked from behind? Does it make sense that a hunter pet trying to protect its owner would attack the person who turned its back?”
“Ji, Jin-wook shouted while turning his back! That’s why he felt a sense of danger…”
“You didn’t say that earlier! Do you think that makes sense now?”
“At that time, I missed it because I was in a hurry! Trust me!”
Statements are already collapsing.
I let out a small sigh and thought it would be a long game.
There were no CCTV cameras inside the guild house, and there were no witnesses at the time of the crime.
It is obvious that Jang Min-ho will soon ask for a lawyer.
“I’m going to leave that kid unconditionally to the Hunter pet. It’s clear that he ordered the pet to attack…”
“It’s frustrating. Can’t we just use our fists like the detectives in the drama?”
“Of course it’s fine! If the times were about 20 years earlier…”
Alice belatedly shut her mouth at my criticism.
By the way, wasn’t it an extension call from Seo Ji-yu, who was guarding her office her?
As I accepted it, I received unexpected news.
“What’s up?”
[Chief, there is someone who says he has important information about this case… You know him too.]
“What? Who is that?”
[The manager of the hunter pet cafe I went to last time. He is said to be the number one in the hunter pet field in Korea.]
Are you talking about the manager of Shuron Café?
It was quite unusual to see that he had established the breeding method of Shurons… What happened all of a sudden?
With a feeling of grabbing at least a straw, I allowed her visit her.
“Tell them to come up.”
After a while, facing her office her, she had a fairly drawn face.
The Shuron Café, which she had just started, is also within the sphere of influence of this case.
If the hunter pet killed a person, the hunter pet cafe is sure to be adversely affected.
I said lightly, as if joking.
“There are many animal rights groups out there…”
“Oh, I’m not very close with them. They’re too extreme.”
After verifying her thoughts with a bitter smile on her face her, she spoke with a very serious face.
“I’m sorry to see you so suddenly, but there’s something I want the special investigator to know.”
“Is that something you really want me to know?”
“People often misunderstand… Hunter Pets can’t harm humans by default. It’s impossible at all.”
“Yes?”
What is this again
Aren’t there victims burned to death by Cerberus’ flames right now?
But Hunter Pets can’t harm humans?
She read my expression and explained it as if she was earnestly pleading.
“Please listen to me once.”
“I am listening.”
“When the hunter pet system was first introduced, we were naturally concerned about an unfortunate event like this case. Hunter pets harming humans.”
I guess so.
Even the heads of the association could have expected that much.
After I understood more easily than before, she continued her explanation.
“That’s why we select Hunter Pets very strictly. If they show even the slightest aggression towards humans, they will immediately be eliminated from the screening. Most of the Hunter Pets currently operated by Hunter Pets are the offspring of first-generation Hunter Pets that have been rehabilitated..”
“But you still can’t be completely at ease, can you?”
“That’s because you don’t know how strict the Hunter Pet system is. The training process for Hunter Pets is almost inhumane.”
According to her, breeds for hunter pets receive an education close to brainwashing at birth.
Such as drugs and hunter abilities. Use what is available without the slightest hesitation.
Because they don’t have the right to life, let alone human rights.
Of course, any object that rebels in the slightest will be disposed of immediately.
Tia trembled at her very bloody story her.
In fact, it’s no wonder that he and I were ignorant of the Hunter Pet system…
Tia is a case that became a hunter pet from the beginning thanks to the strongest back her, Yeriel, and her ability her.
“But… What if the master directly orders an attack?”
“You haven’t understood it yet. Children certified as hunter pets are unable to attack humans. Aggression against humans has already been ruled out at the level of instinct. Even if humans strangle themselves, they will die quietly. They’re kids to take!”
“…”
“We had no choice but to do that. If humans can abuse Hunterpets, we have no choice but to make them into a species that cannot be exploited at all…”
I finally put the Cerberus in question on standby at the training ground to verify her story of her.
Tia, who brought him, was frightened by my order.
“Tia, take her leash off her leash her and take her muzzle off her.”
“Really, Master?”
“Look. He always talks back to me? I’m afraid you’ll leave it to the hunter pet trainers.”
“No!”
Tia carried out my order without hesitating any longer.
Cerberus, who threw off his leash and muzzle, sat quietly and looked up at me.
I’ve seen him point a gun at his master his, but he does n’t even show any aggression.
I gave him a brief command.
“Sit down. Stand up. Somersault.”
“Keeing…”
Cerberus, who promptly carries out my orders without the slightest hesitation.
He felt more like a robot than a lovable pet.
I pulled out my pistol once more and pointed it straight at him.
“Lord, master!”
Hehe…”
Unlike before, the guy doesn’t even move because the owner isn’t behind.
Right after, Bang! A gunshot rang out.
The bullet only stuck close to Cerberus, but did not hit him directly.
‘You hold up well. Can I stand it?’
Taang!
“Keeek!”
Shortly after another gunshot, a short scream.
This time the bullet went through Cerberus ‘leg his.
He was crying and dripping his blood, but I couldn’t see his teeth.
I kept pointing the gun at him and threatening him.
“Attack! Set fire! Set me on fire!”
“Ki-ing, ki-ing…”
“What’s wrong? Is it because the name of the skill is wrong? Capital letters! Flamethrower! Blastburn!”
“Hey, Blastburn is a private plane!”
Ignoring Alice who was arguing in a strange place, this time she pointed at the guy hiding behind the protective wall.
“Then burn him once. Attack!”
“Beep, beep…”
But Cerberus did not move this time either.
I had no choice but to admit it while having the healer treat him.
“You really can’t attack humans, can you?”
“Did you see it? So there’s no need to kill this child…”
“Wait. So, who the hell killed the victim, Park Jin-wook?”
The number one player in the field of domestic hunter pets immediately received a mouth after feeling a serious atmosphere.
We’ve all believed this guy murdered the victim…
Now, that premise has collapsed.
I muttered blankly, feeling dumbfounded.
“Seo-woo was right… “
“Four?”
“The victim’s cause of death is psychogenic shock.
The culprit must be the suspect Jang Min-ho.
Since he did it, he must have laid the blame on his own hunter pet.
The problem is how.
“Mr. Jang Min-ho is not a flame-type person. It is impossible for him to commit a crime himself instead of using a hunter pet. Besides, there was no flame-type person in the guild.”
“Is it possible that the crime was committed by an outsider?”
“Impossible. The CCTV at the entrance has already been inspected. There is no sign of sniping from outside.”
As I was wandering from the beginning again, Alice suddenly clapped her hands! Hit
She reminded me of something I had completely forgotten.
“Illegal use of weapons!”
“What?”
“The suspect, Jang Min-ho, reacted very sensitively to the charge of using an illegal weapon earlier! No way… “
“Ah?”
Did that happen!
Thanks to Alice, I finally realized the method of the crime.
We confirmed it by spitting it out at the same time.
“”Hunter equipment!””
“Yes?”
“Fire-type abilities are relatively common. Thanks to that, it’s easy to make them into hunter equipment. Jung Tae-ya, check the inventory list of Jang Min-ho’s personal equipment warehouse and guild warehouse right now!”
“Go!”
Kim Jeong-tae and his security team members ran out of the house looking almost dead.
I quickly put Cerberus back in the cage and headed to the guild house.
