Along with the God of Law - Chapter 368



Only Noblemtl

368.

After Kang Hyeon’s transfer to the Central District Prosecutors’ Office trial department.

Of course, I thought he would be active, but I could not have imagined that he would adapt to the ‘unique work of the trial department’ so quickly and achieve such amazing results.

“The first case you received as a chief was a case that the entire trial department was reluctant to handle?”

“yes that’s right.”

“You accepted it like that and then immediately increased the sentence?”

“We went straight into trial without even adjourning the trial date and had a blast. In fact, I think they may have known that the defendant in that case would just take a quick look at the situation and run away from the court.”

At the words of Chief Prosecutor of the First Division, Jeong Ji-eun, who spoke calmly, the expression on Prosecutor General Jeong Joong-heon’s face was filled with bewilderment and surprise.

“But you left it as is?”

“The other trial judges intentionally left out the escort personnel and created a gap. They were aware of it but left it as is.”

“I guess he figured it would be beneficial to him.”

“yes.”

“Oh my. It’s just amazing, absolutely amazing. What about the press?”

“It ended quietly, but it received a lot of media attention, so the response was good.”

“In a word, perfect.”

The meeting between the two took place neatly and quietly.

The report on Kang Hyeon was completed without a single story that was too trivial to believe it was a father-daughter relationship, and Jeong Joong-heon nodded his head vigorously at the report. He was satisfied.

“What about the second incident?”

“It’s a murder case. The defendant is Ahn Il-gyun. A murder case without a body.”

“Oh, that?”

“The second case I received under the chief’s name was also quite difficult, but for some reason, they reassigned the case to the youngest prosecutor.”

“Did you say that the youngest prosecutor was Baek Hoon-sik?”

“Yes. He is a friend who is lacking in both skill and background to stand out, but I think that is why they are pushing for Baek Inspector.”

“You’re trying to control it.”

Jeong Joong-heon nodded as if he understood Kang Hyeon’s intentions.

“Yes, part 5.”

“Kang Hyun, now isn’t he a guy who’s used to handling a small team? Probably the five prosecutors under the vacant position of deputy chief of the 5th trial division. Among them, the senior prosecutor is acting as the leader of the gang.”

“My father knows even that. He used to leave it alone because it was too difficult to handle, but now Kang-hyun is rolling up his sleeves and going to that place to manage the department. I like it.”

“Now all that’s left is to sort things out under Kang Hyun.”

“If it goes well.”

Jeong Joong-heon looked satisfied as he looked over the list of five prosecutors, including Ahn Ji-won from the 5th trial division.

Even though his daughter is the head of the first trial division, it is true that it is difficult for Jeong Joong-heon to command the entire trial division on his own.

Since Kang Hyun is there to resolve and sort out the problems that have taken root in the right places, Jeong Joong-heon will be able to strengthen his control within the Central District Prosecutors’ Office as a backlash.

To put it simply, it means receiving help indirectly from Kang Hyun.

Jeong Ji-eun looked at Jeong Jung-heon’s satisfied expression, then glanced over one of the trial cases he had placed on the table and said.

“Kang Hyun, once you’re done adjusting, are you going to move on from that case?”

“Yeah. I think he’d like to solve a few cases before heading back to the investigation department.”

Jeong Joong-heon smiled and looked at the case he had placed on the table.

AKA ‘Park Min-ha illegal drug case.’

After a large-scale investigation, we are at the crossroads of a sudden indictment.

“First, the situation where Park Min-ha sprayed drugs at ES Entertainment, second, the collusion with Choi Jae-cheol, who even used a master of disguise to try to kill me, and third, the situation where illegal material raw materials were leaked from Daejin Hospital.”

“When we combined the circumstances discovered during the crackdown on retailers and manufacturers who were found to be violating the Narcotics Control Act, we were able to create something.”

“That’s right. What’s surprising is….”

‘The fact that most of the evidence that Kang Hyun handed over played a big role in all of this.’

Of course, the Central District Prosecutors’ Office has been operating secretly up until now, but it has been greatly interfered with by the Supreme Prosecutors’ Office’s Anti-Corruption Division. Therefore, it has been difficult to collect evidence large enough to deal a strong blow to the Daejin Group and Park Min-ha, or to provide decisive testimony.

After all, there were limits.

However, there is countless circumstantial evidence and ES Entertainment, Choi Jae-cheol’s murderous teacher, and Daejin Hospital’s ‘illegal substance leak situation.’

In any case, there will be no problem with a surprise indictment, and if the case goes to court, the media and the public will be greatly shocked.

Here’s another one.

‘Kang Hyun is still running wild.’

If we use Kang Hyun well, there might be a chance that we can properly tie up the case.

Wouldn’t it be possible to corner Park Min-ha, who was successfully prosecuted?

As he was thinking about that, Jeong Joong-heon couldn’t continue his story and just leaned back in his chair.

Jeong Ji-eun, who was looking at it, enjoyed the sunlight of the sun rising high in the sky from across from her father.

* * *

“The investigation into my father was thorough. There were no charges.”

“Then, no matter how I think about it, I can’t help but think someone took my cell phone.”

“In particular, An Il-gyun.”

Kang Hyeon nodded at Baek Hoon-sik’s confident words and continued speaking.

“This part is enough evidence to be favorable to us. Considering the records that the victim and Ahn Il-gyun were close enough to go back and forth between their homes, and that they saw each other almost every day, and that they met several times, it’s enough to come up with something. Can you try to save him?”

“I’ll think about it.”

“Okay. Think about it until the next deadline, and if it doesn’t work out, come see me.”

Baek Hoon-sik smiled brightly at his words. It was a business trip that was decided in a hurry and had no preparation, but it was actually quite profitable.

Like this, after Kang Hyun and Baek Hoon-sik’s business trip.

The next trial date for the Gohap 350 case was drawing near.

Baek Hoon-sik spread out the materials in his own way and thought about them over and over again.

Then, sometimes I would go out somewhere or go on a business trip all night.

So on the second anniversary.

“after.”

Baek Hoon-sik spent several nights trying to come up with a logic.

Even if he had a fight with Ahn Il-gyun, he had a responsibility not to be pushed back in the legal dispute.

The most important thing was one thing.

“Obviously, Ahn Il-gyun is claiming, ‘I didn’t kill him.’”

In order to avoid the guilt of murder, Ahn Il-gyun claimed that the victim himself ‘didn’t seem to be dead.’

Victim’s name, name of the victim.

He, who had a rather unusual name, was actually of ‘half-Chinese’ descent, with a Korean father and Chinese mother.

He worked as a heavy equipment operator while moving from construction site to construction site, and he was also a very scheming person who tried to carry out various illegal businesses with the defendant, Ahn Il-gyun.

He has many records of entry and exit from China, and the business he was trying to start was a spare parts office. And through this, the real business that Yeo Pyo-mun was trying to do was… .

“Phew. You must have really upset Dad.”

This is a warning sign that has been heavily involved in illegal activities.

He was also a person who would often disappear and go somewhere.

So, the court had no choice but to accept some of the defendant Ahn Il-gyun’s claims and declare him not guilty in the first trial, and this is how the case descended into chaos and went round and round until it reached this point.

“At first you said he was killed, but now you’re changing your story.”

So, the first mission that Baek Hoon-sik has to do is to prove that ‘he is really dead.’

That is, one proposition had to be broken.

‘It is unclear whether the victim died.’

“Let’s go.”

Baek Hoon-sik headed to the Central District Court carrying a bundle of documents. Despite receiving glares from seniors he passed by, he continued walking diligently.

And then.

Bam.

“Oh, I’m sorry, Senior Inspector.”

“… .”

slap.

An Ji-won passed by him as if ignoring him.

She now seemed determined to treat Baek Hoon-sik as if he were an invisible human being. She didn’t say a word to him, and she didn’t get angry.

“…under.”

Baek Hoon-sik, who was blankly staring at her as she left without even being able to say anything, tightened his grip on the materials.

“Still, I have to go.”

He took another step forward, for there was a man waiting there.

A respected teacher and senior who believes in you and watches over you silently.

Because Kang Hyun will be sitting in the audience.

* * *

“Everyone, please stand.”

The sound of people in the audience standing up was tremendous.

Considering that it was a public trial, the crowd was surprisingly large, and there were even cameras there to cover the proceedings.

The one who was embarrassed was Baek Hoon-sik.

‘Oh, no, why are there so many people?’

He, who was completely unaware that Kang Hyun had already taken action in interviews and other matters, thought for a moment about whether this incident would attract this much attention.

Unsolved cases go on for years, and the trial dates are postponed as often as you like.

So, even for famous major incidents that the media is interested in, the coverage is not that intense, except for resident reporters.

It’s as if he knew one hundred percent that the trial would take place today.

It was truly absurd that so many people were gathered in the courtroom.

‘Is it because of Manager Kang Hyeon?’

He naturally looked around the gallery. But surprisingly, it wasn’t there.

“Why… aren’t you there?”

Kang Hyun, who always made gestures as if he would come to watch every trial, wasn’t there today.

‘This won’t do…!’

The fact that Kang Hyun was not there made him feel even more suffocated, and the thought that all the reporters and audience members were watching him made him feel even more pressured.

It was as if the saying, “a house surrounded by four walls” existed just for him.

“Then, let’s continue with case number 350. The defense attorney has something to say to sort out the issues.”

“Yes, the defendant’s argument is that since the death of the victim, Yeo Pyo-mun, is unclear before the defendant committed murder with the intent to kill, the previous issue cannot be considered in this case.”

‘Ha. As expected.’

The lawyer’s argument matched exactly what Baek Hoon-sik had expected.

Before determining whether someone was killed or not, it is important to first determine whether they are dead or missing.

The defense team, which thought that way, also made this argument.

“The victim’s body was not found. Even the victim’s clothes, wallet, ID, and cell phone were all gone. Overall, there was no circumstantial evidence to suggest that the victim was dead. Rather, given the absence of her belongings, it could be said that she was in a similar state as when she left the house.”

An Il-gyun nodded vigorously, showing support for his lawyer’s words.

And then again, he couldn’t help but let out a hollow laugh at the sight of Ahn Il-gyun glaring at Baek Hoon-sik as if he was going to kill him.

‘If I hadn’t prepared well, I would have been screwed.’

Let’s come to this point.

‘I wonder if the inspector isn’t here today.’

I realized that there was only one reason why Kang Hyun did not even show up for trial.

“Did you decide that I wouldn’t have anything to do with this trial date?”

“… What did the prosecution say?”

The judge asked with a displeased expression at Baek Hoon-sik’s monologue. He was the judge who had told Kang Hyeon last time to educate him better.

Baek Hoon-sik quickly came to his senses and began to speak.

“It is true that the victim is dead. And it is very likely that the defendant caused the victim’s death.”

“What is the reason?”

In response to the judge’s expression of ‘absurd’, Baek Hoon-sik answered confidently.

“Because the defendant went into the victim’s house, took her cell phone, and even burned it.”

Looking at the judge’s face, which was distorted with shock.

Baek Hoon-sik felt as if he had been possessed by Kang Hyun. He puffed out his shoulders.
