The stampede occurred in Itaewon . According to the news reports, the scene was extremely tragic. The Halloween extraditioned from the West, the carnival of celebration turned into an unrestrained disaster.
This reminds people of a distant but real case related to Itaewon.
It was the spring of 1997, and the flowers were blooming on the branches in April, but a college student named Zhao Chongbi stayed in that bright spring season forever.
Itaewon has always been an entertainment business district that attracts young people to visit. There have been complicated doubts in an American burger restaurant.
When the case was put on hold, no one seemed to mention it again. In 2009, a movie based on this case was released. Once the movie
was released, it caused an uproar and the case was retried under the public opinion effect.
In the movie, the central character of the case - Zhao Chongbi, played by the fledgling Song Joong Ki .
is different from his later performance in "Save Money Romance" and "Wolf Boy". He doesn't have many scenes here, he is erratic and quick, and is always related to tragic and bloody.
Zhao Chongbi's last warm night was a short time to spend with his girlfriend. Since he got off the bus and wanted to go to the bathroom of the hamburger shop, his life started to count down every minute.
When Yanshanjun in "Han-King's Man ", Prosecutor Park, who is in charge of the case, came to the burger restaurant after the incident during the day.
He saw that the bathroom had been cleaned up, leaving no traces, and there was little evidence left.
Prosecutor was speechless and had a dark face, and exchanged the details of the case with the criminal police in the Criminal Investigation Department.
The detective had a smile on his face and said he didn't understand how a murder occurred in such a lively place like Itaewon.
The family of the victim Zhao Chongbi cannot accept the facts at all. He is the only son of three generations. He studied hard, was admitted to a key university, lived a simple life, and worked part-time.
does not have the playful habits of ordinary students, and they carry the expectations of the whole family. A young man who is so outstanding and does not cause trouble for his family should not make grudges with others.
But there is no grudge against others, how could he fall into the pool of blood in the bathroom of a hamburger shop for no reason? I can't figure it out.
Although the evidence link was damaged, a suspect was still locked through the surveillance of the hamburger restaurant.
This Korean American named Pearson is played by Zhang Geun-suk .
There is no murderer, and the word "killer" will be written on your face.
, the suspect, is not yet confirmed. Even if he does not admit it and pretends to behave, it will be difficult for people to see through it.
"Is he acting?" Prosecutor Park pulled down the blinds and met Pearson for the first time. Pearson looked at the prosecutor in ignorance and naiveness.
"You can speak Korean , right?", listening to another prosecutor's Korean question, Pearson biting his finger, blinking innocently.
"Wow, this little brat really knows how to pretend. Your acting skills are pretty good!"
Prosecutor and Pearson stared at each other, unable to communicate at all. Pearson only knows how to communicate in English, so he can only equip him with an interpreter. While the translation officer was equipped with the US military stationed in South Korea, the US military stationed in South Korea also sent people to negotiate. The words were mixed, but the words were heavy pressure.
Pearson is a family member of an American soldier and is a minor. His interrogation is always stumbling.
The cases in our country involve the human rights of other countries and are mixed up with each other. In the local area, the people of our country have no right to speak.
"Do you need a reason?"
"Don't you need it?"
"Are you, who else is in the bathroom?"
"If you don't make the truth, then that person will be caught, you will be exposed."
"The prosecutor asked Pearson what the motive for murder was, "Is it just going to the bathroom?"
"If you don't make the truth, then that person will be caught, you will be exposed."
prosecutor used both soft and hard suspicion against the suspect with barriers to this language, trying to break through his defense psychologically.
Suspect No. 1 was in place, and suspect No. 2 was also excavated.
Alex, also an American, was called and spoke loudly to Pearson.
Pearson heard this, and there was a hint of panic on his stable face.
As the second suspect, Alex also sat in the interrogation room with disdainful face.
He asked his playmate Pearson in English, "Hey, how do you feel?"
Pearson glanced at Alex casually and said nothing.
Both suspects have been arrested. The prosecutor was afraid that they would collude with their confessions, so he asked them in advance if it was their first meeting since the incident?
They answered yes, and the prosecutor asked again, are they just trying to imitate the movie?
On the night of the incident, Pearson and Alex drank at the burger restaurant together.
From the confession provided by Alex, there is his defense of his innocence and Pearson's guilt.
In Alex's description, Pearson was full of intoxication, with a gloomy nature. He bought a sharp knife in Itaewon and randomly became evil.
He had no grudges with Zhao Chongbi, but Zhao Chongbi was not lucky. He happened to be targeted when he went to the bathroom during that period.
The criminal police character in the movie, I don’t know why when facing a murder case, I always smiled faintly, like a bad smile, which is really weird.
He is affiliated with the Criminal Investigation Department, but he has not even received Pearson's confession, and he said, "That guy is not simple."
This criminal policeman is very unreliable.
Criminals are all cunning. Even teenagers will plead guilty first and then overturn their previous remarks.
Pearson cares very much about his background. After he committed the incident, he immediately called his father on the other side of the ocean for help.
But the other party seemed to ignore him. He was his biological child, but he was like adoption. He said, "I don't want to be white garbage." After saying that, he burst into tears.
In Pearson's confession, the situation described at that time runs contrary to Alex's confession.
In his memory, he was an innocent person who was instigated by Alex, and described it with Alex, completely presenting two faces.
He was not fearless, hesitant and panic-informed, and revealed from his eyes.
The two suspects identified each other as the murderer. In the unfavorable situation where there was insufficient evidence and testimony as the basis, the prosecutor was helpless.
But the forensic doctor provided him with an idea, which was to analyze the victim's knife wounds in detail and infer that the murderer was a tall and burly person.
has no defensive scars, and the victim Zhao Chongbi was subdued in an instant.
peeks at the horror at that time through scars, and memories also burst into tears.
