376.

Seoul Southern District Prosecutors’ Office.

A large district prosecutor’s office in Seoul, covering Yeongdeungpo, Guro, Gangseo, Yangcheon, Geumcheon, and Gangseo, and home to a joint financial crime investigation unit.

In this central prosecutor’s office, which covers 20 percent of the entire city of Seoul and a population of 2 million, it is not common for a special task force for cases other than financial crimes to be hastily created at the request of other district prosecutors’ offices.

Especially at the request of the Central District Prosecutors’ Office.

“Yes, Inspector. The case transfer will be completed within today… .”

Prosecutor Hwang Jae-eun was in the middle of an intense conversation with someone on the other end of the phone.

“…Are you talking about a briefing?”

When the topic of the other person’s ‘media’ came up, she said with a icy blank expression and a faint smile.

“I’ll figure it out.”

Groan, grumble.

The conference room at the top of the Southern District Prosecutors’ Office, where the official briefing for the launch of the trial case team is held.

Above the ceiling was a sign that read, “Establishment of the Southern District Prosecutors’ Office Drug Crime Trial Team,” with the word “Celebration” below it.

The moment when everyone’s attention and surprise were focused on Hwang Jae-eun entering the conference room.

She glanced blankly at the room full of reporters, then quickly walked towards the podium.

-uh?

-Aren’t you Deputy Chief Prosecutor Hwang Jae-eun?

She was wearing somewhat casual clothing for a prosecutor, and there were no attendants around her, so it took some time for people to recognize Hwang Jae-eun.

But, let’s get to the point.

Click, click!

There was a barrage of camera flashes, and things became chaotic for a moment.

-Congratulations, Inspector! Could you please take a look at this one more time?

-This is TBS! Who is the team leader’s recommendation?

-Is it related to Kang Hyun?

-Oh, please follow the order!

One reporter suddenly stood up and asked a question according to the prepared order.

-Prosecutor Hwang Jae-eun, first of all, congratulations on your promotion. The newly established trial case team at the Southern District Prosecutors’ Office is the first dedicated case team established in the trial department of the prosecution office. Could you tell us a word about this?

A reporter’s words full of respect and congratulations, at a critical moment before the questions poured in.

however.

“I have nothing to say.”

Hwang Jae-eun looked at him for a moment without changing her expression at all, then spoke concisely as if she had the face of someone who ‘lacks the ability to empathize.’

“I will respond in writing in the future press release regarding the trial case. If I have the chance. That is all.”

-Huh? Uh… .

-The end?

-Wait a minute! But it’s an inauguration ceremony, so at least give us a detailed plan for handling the case!

“We will definitely find the truth in the cases we take on in the future and show that we do not submit to power. Everything below is top secret.”

slap.

Despite the reporters’ shouts, Hwang Jae-eun quickly left the podium with a very concise answer.

Click, click, click… .

Only the thunderous sound of shutters filled the scene.

-Are you really going down?

-Wow, what a scary person, what a scary person.

The reporters, who had been filled with anticipation, were at a loss as to what to do.

But on the other hand, there were as many sighs of surprise as there were sighs of relief.

The inauguration ceremony currently taking place at the Southern District Prosecutors’ Office is the first of its kind within the prosecution service, and it is also the first time that a deputy chief prosecutor has been appointed to a dedicated team.

Yet, she ended the event in a flash without giving a single inaugural speech or encouraging words.

The reporters who visited were so shocked by the speed that it said it all.

To that extent, the will of Hwang Jae-eun, who was newly appointed as the head of the trial case team, was great.

‘The investigation just needs to be investigated. The trial just needs to be held.’

I hate unnecessary things to begin with, and I am no longer emotionally agitated by media pressure. So, isn’t this level of briefing something that was planned?

In the eyes of the press, the atmosphere was definitely different than when Kang Hyun took the baton. However, no reporter expressed displeasure or rebelled against this.

There was an atmosphere of recognition for her.

Just a sigh full of regret.

-That’s too bad. I had a lot of questions about the match.

-Because it really means that I will fight without manipulating public opinion. I will fight skill against skill.

-I thought you were going to say something about Kang Hyun… .

In fact, the media was initially very skeptical.

Why is the Southern District Prosecutors’ Office fighting Daejin under Jeong Joong-heon’s instructions?

A war with a mega-corporation that everyone hates, with a lot of bloodshed and no gains.

However, all those doubts and curiosities were dispelled today with the official formation of the organization.

This is because it was revealed that the head of the case team of this trial department was ‘Vice Chief Prosecutor Hwang Jae-eun.’

Hwang Jae-eun, she was the key.

The media was well aware of the connection between Kang Hyun and Hwang Jae-eun. They were more than just colleagues who had been through a huge incident in Namyangju.

That is why Hwang Jae-eun’s brief and concise statement of intent was enough to attract the public’s attention.

It was obvious that he had intentionally ended the briefing without answering questions, conscious of the possibility that he had accepted Kang Hyun’s offer and started a fight at his call, and this alone would have generated great interest.

‘Kang Hyun and Hwang Jae-eun formed an alliance and started a battle with Daejin Group’s Park Min-ha.’

The moment it becomes clear that from today onwards, the Southern District Prosecutors’ Office will join forces with the Central District Prosecutors’ Office to begin a long fight against Park Min-ha of the Daejin Group.

Hwang Jae-eun started to work hard to wrap up the last case with a hurried pace.

[Drug Crime Trial Team]

The new office where she will work.

All that remains is to fight, under the weight of the burden of having to bring news of victory.

* * *

[Command order for each district prosecutor’s office – each department will do its best in its assigned tasks]

A letter of instruction targeting Kang Hyeon’s trial division 5 was sent from the head of the Public Investigation Department of the Supreme Prosecutors’ Office, Wang Nam-ryong.

– Since each department and division of the Public Prosecutors’ Office has its own specialized tasks, they should refrain from assigning cases outside of their specialized tasks.

It seemed like the usual encouraging message, but Kang Hyun looked at the attached ‘table’ with a somewhat unpleasant expression.

[Central District Prosecutors’ Office Trial Division 5 – Focus on livelihood cases.]

‘It’s a focus on livelihood-related issues.’

It means, ‘Just investigate minor livelihood issues, or I will publicly criticize you and put you at a disadvantage.’

The 5th Trial Division of the Central District Prosecutors’ Office is the most subordinate department in terms of organization, and is in charge of executing trials in a supportive role, handling various ‘civilian cases’.

However, it is not that freerolls are unacceptable or that organic event distribution is impossible.

The Supreme Prosecutors’ Office used this as a leash to force Kang Hyun not to give him more than a ‘minor case’.

“This is ridiculous.”

First of all, the absurd part.

“Did the Public Investigation Department, not the Supreme Prosecutors’ Office’s Inspection Department, also manage the district prosecutors’ departments?”

It is true that the Public Investigation Department is the predecessor of the old ‘Public Security Department’. It is also true that when civil servants and prosecutors belonging to the Public Prosecutors’ Office create disciplinary grounds, they work together with the ‘Inspection Department’.

However, this is something I have never done before. I have decided to pressure and poke the silent prosecutor in this way.

“The pressure on the president is growing.”

The reason was simple. The Supreme Prosecutors’ Office’s Inspector General cannot be directly controlled by the Prosecutor General, but Bae Seong-shin can easily control the Public Investigation Department.

In particular, Wang Nam-ryong of the Supreme Prosecutors’ Office was the ‘highest deputy chief prosecutor with a direct rival to the chief prosecutor’ whom the chief prosecutor cherished.

Kang Hyun, who was sitting in the office of the head of the 5th trial division, clicked his tongue, folded the letter in half, and tossed it into the trash can.

‘Still, that’s fortunate.’

There was a silver lining.

Instead of directly taking charge of the ‘Park Min-ha case’, he quickly transferred it to the South first.

This had the effect of making it difficult for Bae Seong-shin to use his power to protect Dae-jin Group and Park Min-ha.

The Southern District Prosecutors’ Office is, after all, far from the Supreme Prosecutors’ Office and somewhat outside its influence.

But the future was the problem.

‘Now that the letter has been sent down from the Great Sword, I can officially not move freely.’

Jeong Jung-heon and Jeong Ji-eun too.

Since Kang Hyun was given the title of Chief of the 5th Division, he had to focus on the people’s livelihoods. Rebelling outside of his position was not only unjustifiable, but also looked like blatant rebellion to outsiders.

Ugh.

In this situation.

He pushed aside all the events he had been concentrating on and closed his eyes for a moment.

Kang Hyun had another problem.

“Since it has come to this… let’s verify ‘that’.”

Since recently.

He felt a strange sensation and feeling that was stronger than usual.

So, just as I was thinking about checking this out, the opportunity came.

That is, the relationship between ‘that man’ and ‘ability’.

“My senses became more acute after the last time I met that ‘man’.”

‘That man’ who appeared in front of Kang Hyun but disappeared without even exchanging a few words.

Every time I meet and interact with ‘that guy’, I feel like my abilities and senses are growing by leaps and bounds.

Kang Hyun had been feeling that way recently, and his thoughts about it were slowly taking hold.

“Twice as big.”

Kang Hyun closed his eyes, thought, and then slowly began to write.

Square, square.

‘first.’

“There was a time when I bumped into that guy as a child, and laws and legal principles poured out of my head.”

At first I wasn’t sure about this. I thought it was a coincidence or some other reason unrelated to the man.

However, after a few fleeting encounters, his ‘legal sense’ rose by leaps and bounds.

The verses that were once recited without meaning were refined, organized, and transformed into ones that could be used infinitely.

“And then.”

‘second.’

This moment was crucial. In this second meeting, Kang Hyun was certain.

“Professor Kim Jong-hwan’s kidnapping and death, the man I met at the house of the deceased ‘Director Lim’.”

It already felt like a distant memory. His deceased teacher, Kim Jong-hwan. The contract driver who was involved, ‘Im Ju-mu-gwan.’

As soon as he found out about Chief Lim’s whereabouts, he was devastated when he discovered that he had died, and as Kang-Hyeon sat there in despair at the scene of his death, ‘that man’ came to visit him.

And he held out his hand.

“Choose.”

Kang Hyun took his hand and felt the ‘blooming’ of his endless abilities.

“Not only the ‘medicine’ required for legal interpretation, but also the senses have increased by leaps and bounds.”

Square, square.

‘The third.’

This last meeting took place on the day Kang Hyun left the ‘Joint Investigation Team’.

At that time, he clearly said, ‘The contract has been concluded,’ and confirmed ‘Kang Hyun’s choice,’ and then disappeared.

“And the suffocating feeling I felt when we met.”

What was this?

I don’t know yet. Nothing.

But something was clearly different.

After Kang Hyun was convinced of that, he closed his eyes to check the changed situation again.

In fact, nothing had changed. Kang Hyun was still the same, and his office was the same as before.

A now worn-out desk, a recently cleaned-out cabinet, and a pile of case records that still pile up.

“… But it keeps happening.”

Kang Hyun opened his eyes again and rubbed them repeatedly.

It was still there. This strange feeling.

Twinkle!

As if asking me to choose myself.

Twinkle, twinkle!

It is not clear exactly when it started, but among the numerous records, one incident shone brightly.
