Chapter 1195 – [The Changing World]
The team gathered for the kidnapping case of Ko Ga-eun decided to monitor the suspect, Kim Yong-soo, with Eden’s fortune-telling.
Because if he moves to where the kid is, he might arrest him and save the kid. However, it wouldn’t last for a day or two, so Eden met Miss Ko Ga-eun’s parents the same day.
Go Ga-eun’s parents, whom she met through the introduction of Vice Minister Kim Jae-pil, were in a bad complexion. If he had spent several days not knowing what his daughter was like, it certainly seemed like he would.
But when Eden saw him, he felt hypocrisy. He actually raped someone else’s precious daughter, leaving her with an indelible scar for her life and eventually killing her. On the contrary, seeing his daughter so worried when she was in a similar situation made me realize that humans are contradictory creatures. .
“I-over there…”
“I don’t know if you heard it through Vice Minister Kim Jae-pil, but my name is Eden Choi. He is a person with superpowers from the Cheonmu Association, and this time the special psychic ability investigation headquarters cooperated with his daughter’s case.”
“Chunmu Association…Then can you find my daughter? I beg you, please find my daughter!!!!”
“Please, she’s still a child and she doesn’t know if she’s dead or alive….. Uhh!!!”
I wonder how far I’ve heard the story, but when I listened to what they said, it seemed that I didn’t hear anything.
It was nothing strange. I came to meet them right away, so even if I talked about something, not only was there not enough time, but I couldn’t even talk about it.
“First of all, your daughter is still alive. Safe at that.”
“Yes……Yes?”
“I thought it would be good to tell you about your daughter’s condition first. So I’m telling you that in advance.”
“Oh, no. How…”
“I can’t see the future because I haven’t studied enough yet, but I’m a person with superpowers who can see through what happened in the past and the present. Even within the Celestial Dance Association, there aren’t many people with supernatural powers than me. At most, they’re just imitations or Keter.”
Eden’s words were not an exaggeration, and it was persuasive that Eden, who was not ordinary just by looking at her appearance, said that.
Even if it was just Eden’s words without any basis, the parents’ feelings improved a little when they heard that the child was safe.
But the story I’m going to tell you from now on will make that meaningless.
“Based on this ability, I can know everything about your child’s location and the culprit who caused this kidnapping.”
“Well, then where is Ga-eun now?! Why didn’t you rescue her sooner!!!!”
“That’s because I still haven’t told you where your daughter is confined.”
“………Yes?”
It took Ko Ga-eun’s father a moment to understand Eden’s words.
But when I understand, my anger soars. If you don’t know, you don’t know, because knowing and not talking about it was no different from deception.
“No!!!! Why didn’t you tell me!!!! My daughter!!!! I don’t even know what my daughter is doing!!!!”
“Okay. Then let me ask you a question. Can you understand the feelings of a father who lost his daughter now?”
“Hey, hey…What are you talking about?”
I don’t know about the excited father’s side, but her mother’s side was a little rational. She asks Eden why she asks such a question.
Eden slowly brought out her old story.
“Do you remember July 14th, 17 years ago?”
“What does that matter now…”
“It’s the day you raped a man’s precious daughter and left an indelible scar on her for the rest of her life.”
“…………”
Then his complexion turns pale.
Eden didn’t like him even more. She even put the date on purpose, but he didn’t know what he had done that day.
The victim was driven to death because he could not carry the pain for the rest of his life, but the perpetrator forgot and lived happily. At least until her daughter was kidnapped.
“Wait, honey. What do you mean? Rape?”
“Oh no, that’s already over…”
“It’s not over. The killer who kidnapped your daughter this time is the father of the woman who was raped.”
“……..”
Up came back like this. He frowned at the circumstances of his own dark history coming back to his daughter. But in the end, it’s also someone else’s fault, and he thinks it’s not his fault.
And kicks the ground and gets up and screams. Since we know who the culprit is, shouldn’t we arrest him?
“Then, since we know the culprit, we can save our daughter too!”
“If you arrest him now, he will not tell you where Miss Ko Ga-eun is. His long-planned revenge will fail, and he will change his mind about ensuring the child’s safety. If he waits for a while without saying anything, in the end, your daughter will……..”
“Ugh……!!!”
“Right now, the only way is for me to tell you where your daughter is.
Go Ga-eun’s father glared at Eden with his trembling eyes.
From the point of view of the angry parents, Eden’s appearance did not catch the eye. For now, she was just a deceiving opponent with the only clue to finding her daughter.
Eventually he let go of his anger and sat down again. And in a trembling voice, he said to Eden.
“……What do you want?”
“Do you think I’m here because I want something?”
“Money? Or my family connections? Anything is fine. Just tell me where my daughter is.”
Eden sighed inwardly at his attitude of trying to solve it with material things.
It is not a bad thing to try to solve with money in a capitalist society. Isn’t it a world where money can’t do anything?
But the person died. A person’s life cannot be returned no matter how much money they have. Even after giving away all his property, Kim Yong-soo’s daughter, who died, did not return.
“The reason the kidnapper kidnapped Ga-eun Ko is to raise her instead.”
“I beg your pardon?!”
“Because the child is innocent. But I think this was planned to let the father know the feelings of the father who lost his daughter. If I hadn’t been there, they would have emigrated overseas and would have been separated for the rest of their lives without even knowing that their daughter was alive.”
In fact, Eden sees the answer as it is and copies it, so it’s no different than a cheat key, but usually the case doesn’t progress this fast.
Moreover, since the opponent has the ability to become transparent, the CCTVs scattered everywhere are not very effective. In the case of good quality, even a little heterogeneity is noticeable, but in the case of bad quality, it is impossible to confirm.
While wandering around without any proper evidence, if you use that time to escape abroad and wash your identity, the kidnapper will win. Had it not been for Eden, the plan would have gone as planned by kidnapper Kim Yong-soo.
“If you had been properly punished, I would have told you where your daughter was without hesitation. Even if he had committed a crime, if he had been properly punished, that would be another matter.”
“I’ve already been punished…”
“Don’t you think that getting suspended for probation after paying 300 million won to Judge Yoo Seong-hoon at a room salon called Jeongdam is a proper punishment?”
“Y-how did you do that!!!!”
“I told you. You can see through the past and the present.”
It was because of that that Eden was worried. One side is the victim, but the crimes committed in the past are overflowing, and the other side is the perpetrator, but does not try to harm unrelated people.
Whose side should I take?
Legally, Ga-eun Ko should side with her parents, but Eden’s conscience thought that she should support kidnapper Kim Yong-soo.
“You who have committed a crime but have not been properly punished, and the person who has committed a crime but does not want to take any more victims. Which of the two do you think I should side with?”
“Ugh…”
By this point, the opponent knows. That Eden had no intention of helping them.
Of course, Eden didn’t want to do that from the beginning. It’s just that after meeting him, who is the culprit, Jung Nami fell apart and turned around.
“Please.
“Mother, even if I don’t tell you, the kidnapper will raise your daughter well. It’s just that you haven’t seen her for the rest of your life and don’t know where she is or what she’s doing.”
“Huh…!!!”
If there is one person who is a victim, it is Ko Ga-eun’s mother. Even her husband lost her child because of her husband’s sins.
Seeing her grieved over the abduction of her child makes her Eden think that her own choice was wrong. However, it was her father’s side that made Eden’s hesitation firm.
Eventually, he exploded and shouted at Eden. There was a lot he could do now, but when the threats came out his character was exposed.
“If you don’t tell me where my daughter is right now, I’ll sue the police!!!! What you’re doing is defending the kidnapper, and that would be a crime of aiding and abetting!!!!”
“How? I don’t have any evidence.”
“No, I said that with my own mouth, but there is no proof!!!”
“Even if I recorded my words, it would be difficult to adopt them as evidence. The law for crimes related to this ability is not perfect yet.”
Eden was out of the norm, but the handling of this ability was still in its infancy, so it was no different from the law. Even if you try to drag it to court, the evidence itself is insufficient.
Of course, you can do it somehow. Isn’t the opponent a family member with connections who bribed the judge?
However, if you go to a fight for personal connections, the disadvantage is the other side. Children’s fights become adult fights to the extent that it would be better to deal only with Eden.
“And I’m a Keter friend. Can I show you a picture?”
“What…….”
“Here’s a picture. It was taken inside the Garden of Eden. It turned out pretty well, right?”
Eden pulled out his phone and showed him a picture of him with Keter.
You may think of it as a synthesis, but Eden’s appearance and Keter’s appearance add to the persuasiveness along with the attractiveness that does not fall for each other. It’s like Yoo Yoo Sang-jong, so pretty people get along with each other.
“And do you know who the Keter acquaintance is? Who do you think took this picture?”
“………..”
“If I make one phone call, no matter what your connections are, the impersonator will come and smash your limbs in one day.
In fact, it took a long day. If it’s the worst, Eden will contact you, close the store he’s been running, and come running in an hour.
Anyway, his actions confirmed Eden’s course of action. The guilt I had just a moment ago was gone, and I felt even better.
“But I can understand this well. What you should have done was reflection and pleading, not threats, but looking at your actions, I think you know why you committed such a crime.”
“No, that, that…”
“No further conversation. Thank you for your time.”
“Now, wait a minute!!! I was wrong!!! I apologize!!!! So please take care of my daughter!!!!”
“Reap what you sow. If you plant beans, beans will come out. If you plant red beans, red beans will come out.”
Eden rejected them despite the dissuade of his parents. There is no longer any regrets over there.
If time passes, Kim Yong-soo will disappear with Go Ga-eun. Eden told him about the culprit, so people attached to him, but he planned it for a long time, so he can’t be caught so carelessly.
Moreover, isn’t he a fairly high level of invisibility? It’s hard to track him when he uses his abilities while moving.
No matter how he watches, it ends when he fails once and flees abroad. As long as Eden waited, the result came out in some way.
But before that, I had to meet other actors who went on stage.
After meeting Ko Ga-eun’s parents, Eden called somewhere. Eden also called the number for the first time, but there was no hesitation.
-Hello?
“Ah, yes. Hello Mr. Kim Yong-soo. Are you available on the phone right now?”
-Yes, it’s fine, but who are you…?
“Then I’ll contact you on that cannon phone. It seems that the power is on, so please take it there.”
-Yes?
Eventually, Eden called another number. There was no hesitation about it either.
And even though it was a different number, Kim Yong-soo answered the call. When you think about it, it’s a creepy thing from the opponent’s point of view.
-………Yes, I am.
“Hello, Mr. Yongsu Kim. I’m the one who called earlier.”
– What do you want?
“Well, we should talk first.”
He is a man who has been living for revenge for over a decade. That kind of thing couldn’t have made a simple cannon phone.
However, regardless of that, it is meaningless in front of Eden, who finds the number directly and calls him. As soon as he answered the phone, he asked about the other person’s intentions.
“I know what you’re going to do. I know you’ve kidnapped her sheep. I know you’re transporting her to her Chinese capital, then to Manchukuo to launder her identity.”
-………..
“I know everything, but I didn’t tell the police or Ga-eun Ko’s parents. You don’t have to worry too much.”
Currently, China is the most confusing place. No, to be precise, the various countries that used to be China.
And after Kim Yong-soo has already headed to an independent country called China’s capital, he will move to Manchukuo again to get rid of his pursuers. And he will wash his identity and live as a different person.
If you go there and fake your identity as a Korean-Chinese, it will be a means to remain unnoticed by others for the rest of your life. So, while planning revenge, he plotted a route to move there.
“I’ve already met Miss Ko Ga-eun’s parents. I don’t know about the mother, but the father is still the same.”
-Is that bastard still a fucking asshole?
“Yes, I’m just a human being trying to wield the power I have. If you see me trying to threaten me again, you’ll understand.”
– I don’t know who you are, but I know roughly. If it’s him, he’ll do it.
After winning the favor of the other party, Eden arranged the situation again in order to have a slow conversation.
I’m not trying to be on either side. However, there was not enough evidence to take the side of the parents of the abducted child.
Still, since he gave an evaluation that hit the bottom of the negative, there was not much chance for him to get a score.
It is up to Eden to decide who will win after listening to each other’s circumstances. Now it takes time to do that.
“I’m going to talk slowly, is it okay?”
-…….Yes, that’s fine.
“Then let’s talk slowly. I tried to be neutral, but after talking to you, I’d like to take that side. If you want to talk about it, stay on the phone, or just hang up.”
-………
“This call may or may not be tapped. You can assume that no one else can hear you.”
In fact, from his point of view, it would not be strange if he hung up the phone right away and carried out the revenge he had planned to proceed quickly.
However, since Eden was a woman, and her voice was still close to that of a girl, the opponent hesitated. It was because he remembered the voice of his daughter.
If you saw Eden in person, you wouldn’t have thought of him because of his appearance, but Eden is still an elementary school student. He will have a voice change sooner or later, but not now, so just hearing his voice made him feel like a child.
Soon the call continued. It continued unbroken, and Eden smiled slightly.
“Then let’s continue.”
In the final argument, whose side should I take?
