Along with the God of Law - Chapter 386



Only Noblemtl

386.

Late at night, the duty room at the Seoul Central District Court.

Normally, the Central District Court duty room is relatively busy even in the middle of the night. However, it was a little different in the deep of the morning.

stillness.

Even the on-duty staff who stayed up all night were able to take a nap in the early morning or relax on a cot.

“Ha. Is this really okay?”

Chief Lee, the court officer on duty, stared blankly at the transmitted instructions with an unusually absentminded expression, smoking a cigarette and rummaging around in his pocket for a lighter.

[Prohibition on sending requested materials to the 5th Central District Prosecutors’ Office trial division, refrain from responding (Kang Hyeon, etc.)]

‘No reply with data’, ‘Refrain from replying.’

The target is Kang Hyeon.

“It’s so funny.”

It may look flashy on the surface because it is a formal instruction, but simply put, it is telling you to answer the questions coming from Kang Hyun.

Although there have been times when political incidents or major accidents have occurred, there have been requests from each country or the General Affairs and Audit Department to refrain from responding to the press.

It was the first time that a broadcast had been issued telling prosecutors from the Central District Prosecutors’ Office not to answer questions, and if that was difficult, to avoid them altogether.

Even under the strict instructions of one of only three senior judges at the Central District Court.

“Oh my, what did Kang Hyun say…?”

What happened to cause such an internal directive to be circulated?

It was something that was unknown even though it was known. So, strange stories were being heard among the clerks and working-level officials within the court.

Rumor has it that Prosecutor Kang Hyeon is uncovering corruption in the courts, and anyone who agrees with him will see blood.

So, there was also talk like this.

‘If you get caught sympathizing with Kang Hyun-han, you’ll die.’

‘I can’t even pick up bones because my superiors have stamped their eyes on me.’

This isn’t something that can be resolved with just a few promotions being pushed back.

“Is the Chief Justice involved in something? I don’t think so.”

The ordinary court officials were not really interested in this fight between prosecutors and judges, but they were genuinely curious.

Currently, each chief judge of the court is even urging the assistants in the judicial assistant office to refrain from leaking information.

The reason they said this was a little strange.

-Kang Hyun is currently under investigation by the Supreme Prosecutors’ Office. There is no reason for him to cooperate.

‘There’s no reason for that.’

Of course, it seemed like Kang Hyun was involved in something.

After gratitude, inspection. It’s the order to kill one person. So, the Great Sword was trying to kill Kang Hyun.

But isn’t that a prosecution issue?

“When did we ever pay attention to the prosecution’s audit or inspection? It’s really strange.”

The court has always taken a stand-by attitude whenever something happens on the prosecution side, but this time it was different.

Even the chief executive officer was moving and going crazy like this. Those in the court who were relatively quick-witted could have noticed.

‘It looks like our court is being stabbed in the back.’

Although some working-level officials had already voiced complaints and grievances about this special directive, many of them coldly silenced these complaints and instead agreed with their superiors.

Bam!

“Hiccup! Chief, do you have a lighter?”

Drunk court clerk Kim Dong-gu.

He is one of those who follows the judges around, trying hard to flatter and suck up to them in order to get something out of them.

They are ruining the courts, but that doesn’t mean we can fight them.

“Oh, yes.”

The manager said with an uncomfortable expression, shoving the cigarette he had been biting into his pocket and putting the lighter away as well.

“There isn’t any. And go outside and burn it. If you burn it here, the smell won’t go away, sir.”

“It’s funny when a loser says something like that. Hiccup!”

Kim Dong-gu took a seat on the sofa in the duty room, holding an electronic cigarette in his mouth instead of a cigarette. Section Chief Lee sighed softly, focused his gaze on the monitor, and began typing on the keyboard.

It was dawn so I hadn’t come in, but I was there to listen to Kim Dong-gu’s mutterings with one ear.

“… Haa, that bastard from the executive department is no good. He won’t listen to me. I told him to take that post down on the internal bulletin board.”

“Is this Kang Hyun’s writing?”

“Yeah. What kind of god is Kang Hyun? The chief director said so. He refrained from providing personal information except in cases where he requested information in an official document, hiccup. There’s nothing wrong with that, so why are you inciting people?”

“Well, I guess it’s because the higher-ups are so sensitive to Prosecutor Kang Hyun. But it’s not just one court official, but many court officials… .”

“Hey! What did the staff say?”

“No. It’s not.”

“You should watch your mouth if you don’t want to attract the attention of the Chief Justice.”

“Oh, that, that’s not what I meant.”

In the case of general court positions, the hierarchical relationship is less severe than that of prosecutors or police officers, but it’s to this extent. There really must be something going on.

The section chief looked around and put his head on the monitor. A few minutes later, Kim Dong-gu almost threw his head back and started snoring.

Ding, ding!

‘There’s no way it’ll change. It won’t change. It won’t change.’

The early morning shift, although a bit awkward, seemed to end quietly.

The manager clicked his tongue at the reality he was facing, folded his arms, and closed his eyes.

Tiring!

The sound of a phone broke the silence.

“what?”

Tiring! Tiring!

“Ah, at dawn… .”

Click.

“Yes, this is the duty room. Family Court? Why at this hour… Yes? Yes? Yes?”

It was an urgent call that required three questions, and a request I had never heard of before.

That too, in Seoul Family Court.

In a relatively quiet court that handles juvenile detention, domestic and child protection cases, bankruptcy, domestic violence, family relations, guardianship, and other domestic affairs cases.

At dawn, an urgent call came to the Central District Court duty office.

– A ‘missing person declaration cancellation trial’ has come to our side. The subject’s personal information has been forcibly deleted. Our chief judge is urgently requesting to review the records of past trials conducted at the Central District Court.

“Yes? What do you mean… If you want to erase personal information, you have to contact the city hall, so why do you need our trial records?”

– That’s because the prosecution raised an objection, claiming that the court unilaterally deleted the personal information of the parties. We need the Central District Court trial records. And one more, the Kang Yoon-ki theft case. The defendant’s name at the time was Song Du-seung. It’s a case of ‘disclosure of official secrets.’

“Kang Yoon-gi, Song Doo-seung? Yes? Who was Song Doo-seung just now?!”

The manager almost threw the receiver out of his mind.

What the heck is going on!

I don’t know who Kang Yoon-ki is, but I know Song Du-seung.

Wasn’t he someone who was on the internal surveillance list a few years ago, but is now gone?

The manager frowned for a moment and then got up abruptly.

‘Noisy and noisy.’

At the same time, there was a commotion behind him. The chief looked back.

“… Aya, uh, ah, quick, contact the chief detective.”

The drunken old man who was half asleep and snoring was nowhere to be found.

Kim Dong-gu, who was so surprised that he jumped up from the chair he was sitting in, shouted urgently.

“yes?”

“Didn’t you just say, ‘Go, Kang Yoon-gi, Song Du-seung?’”

“Yes? Yes.”

He hurriedly urged him on, gesturing with his hands and feet with a look that seemed to indicate that he had completely sobered up. When I looked closely, I saw that he was even sweating.

“Hurry up and report it quickly. You can call me or visit my house, so hurry up!”

“Oh, I see!”

In simple terms, emergency.

Those inside knew the terrible events that had taken place in the courthouse. It was about to be exposed. Whatever had happened, it was clear that it had happened.

* * *

“The Domestic Relations Act stipulates that the family court with jurisdiction over the subject’s address has jurisdiction over the cancellation of a declaration of disappearance, but since the defendant’s current residence is unclear, it is currently considered that there is no jurisdiction….”

“No jurisdiction?”

“First of all… the family court’s decision is that. The review must continue, but…”

The face of the head of the family court is dark.

The head of the domestic affairs division of the Seoul Family Court, as well as the chief judge, were giving their all in explaining.

There is only one cause for all these incidents.

Kang Hyun in front of your eyes.

It was because of the ‘judgment to cancel the declaration of disappearance’ against Song Du-seung that Kang Hyeon had requested at dawn.

A leaky boat, no matter how pretty and correctly it is floated on a properly flowing river, is bound to sink.

Although he was considered dead due to disappearance, there is a big difference between him being processed as dead normally and his resident records being erased, and the existence of ‘Song Doo-seung’ completely disappearing due to some kind of work.

The former is normal, the latter is abnormal.

Since Song Doo-seung is in the latter situation, the court cannot accept or proceed with the case normally.

It was a very simple result. Kang Hyun filed a normal lawsuit about an abnormal situation, and the entire court began to creak.

“That’s true for Kang Yoon-ki. Why is Song Du-seung’s record like that?”

“We haven’t found the reason yet. It’s a Central District Court case, so we made a request….”

“Did you make a request to the Central District Court?”

“I haven’t received a reply.”

“You probably didn’t get an answer. It must be a ploy to reveal the secret that Kang Yoon-gi and Song Doo-seung are the same person as late as possible.”

“yes yes?”

Kang Hyun uploaded the data. The eyes of the head of the family court and the head of the domestic affairs division next to him widened.

“This is the National Forensic Service’s appraisal report. We compared the photos of Song Doo-seung at the time with the current Kang Yoon-ki. We received a response that there was a 99 percent chance that they were the same person.”

The head of the family court was so startled that he almost fell backwards, but the head of the household affairs department barely managed to support him and prevented an accident. The two of them tried desperately to stop Kang-Hyeon, persuade him, and threaten him.

“First, please fix the administrative and procedural defects!”

“… You can’t do that. You’ll be in big trouble!”

“Please, please.”

“Please unify your opinions and speak as one.”

The head of the family court, slightly flustered by Kang Hyeon’s expressionless face, tried to gather his wits and reorganize his words.

“This case is not something that involves one or two judges or one or two prosecutors. Please don’t make a big deal out of it….”

The family court is a place where those who are relatively far from the power relations sit. Therefore, they are politically distant and have no interest in it. There was no need to be greatly shaken by Kang Hyun’s visit and pressure.

And yet they were afraid.

Because I know what will happen if Kang Hyun moves using this weapon.

“hmm.”

After getting the answer, Kang Hyun got up from his seat, gave a brief bow, and turned to leave.

“That’s fine. We’ll handle it well so there won’t be any problems in the family court.”

“Okay, wait a minute!”

“Wait a minute? Do you have anything else to say?”

“That, that is….”

The head of the household affairs department stood up and tried to stop Kang-Hyeon, but he hesitated and could not approach him any further due to his intimidating nature.

Click.

“I see.”

It has finally been confirmed.

‘Song Doo-seung and Kang Yoon-gi are the same person. Due to some incident, Song Doo-seung disappeared and there was no record left. Several years later, he was declared dead and returned as the now mute Kang Yoon-gi. There is still no record left. The court is well aware of this.’

Shh.

The puzzle had been put together for a long time, and now the picture had been painted.

A terrifying weapon that can crush the Public Prosecutor’s Office.

Also, a way to correct any corruption that has been going on in the past, to instill a sense of alarm in everyone, and to create the power to fear Kang Hyun’s actions.

“Just resurrect Song Doo-seung and change the guilty verdict for ‘that case’ to not guilty. Naturally, the kidnapping, torture, and other corruption will come out.”

Kang Hyun made a decision.

I’m going to wrap up this case very quickly and strongly, and completely destroy the Supreme Prosecutors’ Office.

Now that we have weapons, shouldn’t we fight?
