Along with the God of Law - Chapter 378



Only Noblemtl

378.

“after.”

Yang Seong-gyeom, deputy chief of the 5th trial division, sits opposite Kang Hyeon in the job title.

He had a longer career than Kang Hyun, and had been in the 5th Division for a long time, but he thought it was natural for Kang Hyun to sit in the 5th Division seat that was currently vacant.

Because I thought that Prosecutor Kang Hyeon was good and outstanding.

However, Yang Seong-gyeom was also upset. He ignored all the advice that contained ‘warnings and concerns’ when he first came.

However, after suddenly accepting the ‘S-class’ trial case, he resolved it perfectly.

Although he didn’t even bother to mention his ‘strike declaration’, he seemed quite shocked when he had his youngest prosecutor take the lead in solving the ‘murder case without a body’.

‘There’s no doubt that he is a more outstanding and amazing person than I thought.’

But his agony today was not only due to these things.

“ha.”

At his face full of complaints, the senior prosecutors including Yang Seong-gyeom of the 5th Division who had come in to report looked at him with worried eyes.

“Deputy Manager, but it was the Second Vice Manager who called you.”

“Tell them to call you next time.”

“No, you must go now.”

Order to summon Vice-Chief Yang Seong-gyeom of the 5th Division of the Second Vice-Chief’s Trial.

His direct senior prosecutor urged Yang Seong-gyeom with pitiful eyes, but he covered his head with a look of distress and continued to struggle.

“There’s already a lot of pressure from the Supreme Prosecutors’ Office, so what are you going to do if you put pressure on the Second Vice-Minister as well?”

“yes?”

“No. You guys do your work.”

“But… you told me to bring you.”

Today, at this point, there is no way for the young prosecutors to know who is involved and how fierce the fight is.

Only Yang Seong-gyeom is suffering.

Should I go or not?

By now, Second Vice Minister Yoo Seong-jin must be angry.

The situation was such that Kang Hyun was aware of the unprecedented situation in which he had caused the 2nd division chief Lee Nam-gi and the 3rd division chief Chae Jin-min to ‘wake up’ in one breath.

There is even a letter from the Supreme Prosecutors’ Office on ‘focusing on civilian incidents’.

What are you trying to say with ‘that’? You are trying to put pressure with ‘that’.

Kang Hyun was too scared to call, and it was obvious that he was trying to do something by calling himself next to her.

Either to warn them, to extract information, or to betray them.

It seems that the 2nd Vice Minister, Yoo Seong-jin, is trying to use some kind of number.

I know it all, but it’s so frustrating.

“…Okay. Let’s go. I’ll take care of it.”

“Okay, I understand. You absolutely must go.”

“Yeah, yeah.”

Suddenly.

“Ha, I’m just a powerless deputy chief prosecutor… What am I doing…?”

Why are you doing this to me?

As the door closed and all the subordinate inspectors left, Yang Seong-gyeom clenched his fists even harder and lowered his head.

“He’s a person who really makes me want to work hard, so I can’t just throw him away.”

A person named Kang Hyeon.

He felt that she was a very unique and refreshing person.

I really can’t agree with his style of not bothering anyone, whether they are his senior, his connections, or his peers, to achieve his goals.

But it’s true that he has outstanding abilities. It’s also true that his skills are outstanding.

So it was not easy for many people to express their opposition or hostility to his actions. The same was true for Yang Seong-gyeom.

Yang Seong-gyeom has survived until now by building an image of being strong, easy-going, and well-connected.

Since he had been loyal to his superiors, it was only natural that he had never solved a case based on his own convictions. This was the complete opposite of Kang Hyun.

So in this situation, I had no idea what to do.

This time, you must not simply listen to your superiors, but make a choice!

Should we side with Kang Hyun, Chief Prosecutor Jeong Joong-heon, and 1st Division Chief Jeong Ji-eun?

Or should I side with the 2nd Lieutenant and the Grand Swordsman?

It is difficult to follow the media and trends or make political judgments.

Because one side is Kang Hyun and the other side is the president.

“ha.”

Yang Seong-gyeom was in agony for a moment.

“Ah! Yes. This is my last bit of pride.”

Clink, clack, clack!

His decision was right.

Use your annual leave immediately.

To put it simply, ‘run away’ from everyone.

Yang Seong-gyeom put on his jacket and went outside.

escape.

“If you can’t enjoy it, avoid it.”

It is the best choice and decision he could think of.

“Oh, where are you going?”

“I have a very important appointment with my family.”

“Okay, wait a minute, Chief! Chief?”

Then his footsteps gradually became quieter. Soon he sighed deeply and picked up his cell phone.

He may be a standout, but he belongs to the 5th division of the prosecution.

I couldn’t just leave because something was on my mind.

“It seems like Manager Kang Hyeon is the only one writing this. Should I tell him before I go?”

Even if Kang Hyeon is an excellent investigator.

He has only been a prosecutor for a few years and has never worked as a trial prosecutor.

Naturally, he thought, judgment on this situation would be slow at this point.

‘Letter from the Supreme Prosecutor’s Office.’

If Kang Hyun doesn’t know this, it’s obvious he’ll get hit.

Each trial division has its own unique duties.

The 5th trial division led by Kang Hyun is not actually a specialized division that focuses on the trials of ‘major cases’.

Of course, by solving a couple of S-class cases, we were able to ensure that there was no room for controversy in terms of performance, but the main task of the 5th trial division is.

“Anyway, what we have to do is take care of people’s livelihoods.”

That’s right. The case that the 5th trial division should focus on is people’s livelihood.

Since their main job is to rescue and protect those who are powerless and outside the protection of the law, focusing on large-scale incidents like they are now is the easiest way to expose them to internal attacks.

If he got out, it was obvious that the second-in-command would use this as an excuse to quarrel with Kang Hyeon.

“Ugh, let’s ignore it. Ignore it. We have to ignore it…!”

Yang Seong-gyeom seemed like a person who couldn’t be as cold and inhumane as those around him.

He couldn’t finish the monologue he had been trying so hard to ignore,

Tiring.

I picked up the phone.

“Oh, okay. Inspector Baek. Are you doing well?”

-Yes, sir! What’s going on?

“Where is Manager Kang Hyeon? I have something urgent to say.”

-Yes? Oh. I’m receiving a report that you’re focusing on livelihood issues.

“…already?”

– Not yet, but a week before the Supreme Prosecutors’ Office gave instructions, the prosecutors were called together and assigned livelihood cases. The results are quite good.

“already?”

Yang Seong-gyeom didn’t intend to say ‘already’ twice, but he was surprised to see Kang Hyeon’s ‘incredible response speed’ and muttered again.

‘Is this your first time as a trial prosecutor?’

The speed at which he received the letter from the Great Sword was probably similar, but unlike himself, who had been worried and worried for a long time and was only now taking action, Kang-Hyeon had already taken action.

-Yes. But what’s going on? Is there anything you’d like to say?

“Nothing. Okay.”

Tiddik.

I was worrying for nothing. Yang Seong-gyeom blamed himself for making a fuss for nothing, and he headed home, satisfied with his choice to ‘run away’.

* * *

Swish.

It was a dark, rainy evening.

A supermarket located in the outskirts of Sillim-dong, Gwanak-gu.

The owner, Mr. Kim Ju-in, was the perfect person to run a ‘supermarket in the countryside’, from his name to his personality.

He thought that it was his fate to come up to Seoul, settle down in Sillim, a place with many students preparing for the civil service exam, and make a living selling small necessities.

A routine where nothing special happened from day to day, and nothing fun happened.

But recently, an unpleasant and eerie incident has occurred.

“What keeps disappearing? This is strange.”

There were times when one or two of the imported items were missing.

I didn’t know at first.

I thought it was just my imagination. In all the decades of business I’ve been in, I’ve never had anyone steal or take anything from my supermarket.

Oh, it’s not that it never happened, but it never disappeared so regularly and unpleasantly.

Little by little, just enough so that it doesn’t get noticed. This is when the incident happens when you briefly turn on the lights and close the supermarket door!

In this peaceful town, in this town overflowing with affection between people!

“No, what is this?”

So when he looked at the CCTV, he was really surprised.

A video was shown of a man with a beggar’s appearance opening a crack in the window of a disused commercial refrigerator in the back storage room of a supermarket, slithering out like a snake, stealing food, and then leaving again.

The warehouse was dark and very inside, so I couldn’t see the face or body very well, but it was definitely a person.

He sneaks a few things to eat and disappears.

“Oh my, the world is really scary.”

Honestly, it gave me goosebumps.

I came to the store normally and snuck a few snacks in, that’s it.

But, you sneak into the back of the supermarket, grab what you want to eat, and then run out again?

That too periodically.

I felt really bad. If I caught the guy, I wanted to beat him up.

But that didn’t work out well.

At first, I didn’t even think about reporting it to the police. We were in a neighborhood where everyone knew each other, and the only things they took were ‘a few things to eat.’

I was just going to give him a hard time and make him pay five or ten times the amount, and then let him go.

So, armed with a baseball bat and a broom, I lay in wait for several days like a detective on TV. I hid.

One day, two days.

And another three days.

“Why aren’t you coming this time?”

But, that guy never showed up. He would come and steal things only when I was away, and he would even close the windows tightly.

“…what?”

Kim Joo-in was worried. Should she let it go?

“People these days are really scary.”

He decided to forgive just this once with an angelic heart.

They pasted CCTV footage on one wall of the supermarket and wrote in red letters, “Report in case of theft.”

The only things I took with me were snacks and ramen, and although I took them quite often, I only took one or two at a time.

But, after a while.

“Again?!”

One pack of mild spicy ramen! One pack of potato chips!

I even put up a warning sign on the wall, and it really bothered me. I couldn’t stand it anymore.

Now I knew how he knew when I was not there.

“He only knew the days I went to church and kept telling me!”

He was targeting only the second and fourth Tuesdays of every month, the days he went to church, excluding weekends!

That means he knows every detail of your actions.

Kim Joo-in shivered once again as a goosebumps ran through his body, and a ‘bright’ idea came to his mind.

“No way. It’s not that guy?”

After saying that, I started to feel more confident.

Just like the silhouette of a CCTV, a shadow, a glimpse of a face.

I had a feeling that they all matched up with him.

“Ugh, I can’t forgive you!”

Kim Joo-in quickly picked up the supermarket receiver and dialed ‘112’.

“Hello! This is the police! There’s a thief in our store!”

I remembered it exactly.

A famous man who sleeps outside the church he attends.

A middle-aged man, also known as the ‘flower beggar’.

Although he was an unknown person with no name or hometown, Kim Joo-in knew one thing for sure.

‘A human being who knows all my actions!’
