The female voice? + story question [spoilers]


The female voice that was going around giving anonymous tips to the police, who was it?
Was it the old girlfriend of the older brother?
Was the Big Kim's girlfriend?
The jilted bride of the tall guy?

And why was this female giving the tips anyway?

===
Also, when there's the big reveal about the older brother, he was relating a story told to the parents...something about 500 and 501 fools or something like that.
I was too spellbound by the visuals to read the subtitles, so if anyone could say what the story/fable was i'd much appreciate it

As I understand it, the female voice giving anonymous tips to the police is from the wife of the plastic surgeon who changed Chang-Hyok's face.
If you watch the scene when he gets the plastic surgery, there's a woman standing next to him reading from a note the exact words the jilted bride told the police.
The plastic surgeon and his wife were the parents of the teacher who committed suicide after he was swindled by Mr. Kim and his associates and presumably wanted revenge.


The story goes something like this (if I remember correctly, it's been 3-4 months since I saw it).
There was newspaper boy going around saying there's a breaking news: 500 people were swindled by a single person. This guy wanted to read about it, so he bought a paper from him. However, there was no such story anywhere in the paper. He got upset, went out to find the boy and ask him, "Where is the story about 500 people getting swindled?" The reply was, "Now, there is 501."
I thought this story was actually told to the plastic surgeon and his wife to convince them to help him swindle the master swindler, Mr. Kim, the man responsible for their son's suicide.


I going to see the movie again just to make sure I got it right.
