It is said that there were as many as 12 phone calls between the team leader, a team member, and Jang Yoon-ki's father after the incident. Normally, in a typical case, such a situation would not occur, would it? ◆ Son Soo-ho) This is also something that was newly revealed today. It had previously been reported as five calls, but the interim police investigation results revealed that there were actually 12 calls, a much higher number. However, we cannot conclude that all phone calls are unconditionally illegal, improper, or intended to manipulate the case. Even in general investigations, phone calls are sometimes facilitated depending on the circumstances. In other words, it is not uncommon for phone calls to be connected or for the voice to be heard, with the purpose of inducing a change of heart to obtain a confession, or to reassure parents or calm the suspect—since they might be placed in various extreme situations. One cannot unconditionally conclude that every such call is illegal. However, the frequency is excessive. If the purpose was truly to conduct a proper investigation, so many people would not have made these calls so frequently. Another important factor is the content. Rather than being merely for emotional calming or psychological efforts to induce a confession or specific statements regarding various crimes, the conversations can be viewed as providing an opportunity to erase or conceal traces of the crime. In particular, one instance involves a call between Jang Yoon-ki and his father, conducted under police supervision, during which the father asks where the cell phone was disposed of. He asks if it was indeed thrown under the Cheomdan Bridge, to which Jang Yoon-ki confirms. Subsequently, they move to that location. We need to determine whether the police intentionally arranged these calls to destroy evidence, whether they connected the calls based on personal connections or affection for the officers' families and this unexpected incident occurred, or whether these calls were made as part of the execution of an improper order from a higher authority. While it was revealed yesterday that the number was 12—much higher than 5—and this represents a progress today, the specific background behind the incident has not yet been revealed.
