Along with the God of Law - Chapter 390



Only Noblemtl

390.

No matter how much Kang Hyun underestimated Maeng Ho-jae, he was also one of the most experienced chiefs of the local law.

He was not in a position to easily deal with any big shot that appeared before him. He struggled to put forth his final logic and began to struggle.

“I understand what you are saying. Then why don’t the courts prove that this case is not related? We are simply perplexed by the emergence of a new and intricate case and the formal raising of the issue.”

“How will you prove it?”

“I will allow you to view all the materials you want. I will allow you to see and confirm any records or contacts.”

Kang Hyun tilted his head.

“…?”

I stared blankly at him for a moment, then smiled faintly.

“I refuse.”

Kang Hyun got up from his seat without saying goodbye and tried to leave the room. Maeng Ho Jae instinctively had no choice but to grab hold of him.

“What are you doing?”

“This meeting is meaningless now that I know what I have to do after seeing the ‘negotiation content’ that Chief Maeng has put forward for the purpose of reaching an agreement. It is clear that the original case records of Song Doo-seung that were already in the court have been destroyed or ordered to be destroyed without due process.”

“That, that’s what it means…!”

“But it doesn’t matter. The 5th Division Prosecutors’ Office has already begun the trial to revoke the declaration of disappearance with Mr. Song Doo-seung. Unfortunately, the court has finished adjusting the date of the hearing as of today in response to the written notice of the postponement of the hearing. The prosecutors are ready, and a lawyer has been appointed and will appear in court. No, I guess they have already appeared.”

“…!”

“We will request the case there as evidence. It will be impossible to refuse it.”

“Oh, wait. What the hell are you doing!”

It was something that even Maeng Ho-jae himself didn’t realize. When he found out, Kang Hyeon had already finished preparing and came to watch the ‘live show’ he was putting on.

The trial date was already today, and the records will be pulled from the court.

Kang Hyun’s plan was something he couldn’t do anything about even if he had just heard about it.

“Do you know how serious the repercussions will be if this incident becomes public and are you acting accordingly?”

“yes.”

“It’s not just the courts that are responsible, but the prosecution as well. Rather, the prosecution is more responsible, and it will become a bigger problem!”

“yes.”

“therefore.”

“therefore?”

Kang Hyun cut him off and gave him a sharp look.

It was so sharp and cold that Maeng Ho-jae froze in Kang Hyeon’s gaze for a moment and his legs gave way.

Because, right now, there was no front or back in his eyes.

A look in his eyes that suggests he’ll kill anyone he catches, whether it’s the prosecution, the court, or anything else.

That was the expression Kang Hyun had on his face just now.

“So, the court should just stay still and not do anything stupid. If I were targeting you, you would all be killed in an instant.”

Maeng Ho-jae was unable to respond to Kang Hyeon’s words in any way and just stood there frozen until Kang Hyeon left.

“There is only one thing for Chief Justice Maeng to do. Report to the Chief Justice, cooperate obediently, and stay quiet. Then, nothing will happen.”

Click.

“My, my… .”

That he stood still without saying a word to Kang Hyun.

“In my opinion, it was something that couldn’t be solved… ”

This was because he felt anew the gap in ability and strength that could not be made up for even with decades of experience.

* * *

Baek Hoon-sik headed towards the Central District Court with a slightly nervous look on his face.

Next to him, Song Doo-seung followed with a frightened expression, and behind him, his lawyer, Kim Han-guk, walked along with him.

Normally, when there is a trial, we go through the route used by the prosecutors or correctional dispatch team, but today, we went through the main gate.

As the public interest is hot and as Kim Han-guk strongly claims.

This was because he decided to stand in the photo line lined with reporters, reveal Song Doo-seung, and even hold a brief briefing.

Sigh, hoo, hoo.

Baek Hoon-sik is obviously nervous at first glance. He has dealt with several important cases, but as expected, a rookie prosecutor is still a rookie prosecutor.

Kim Han-guk glanced at Baek Hoon-sik, who was out of breath, and said.

“You’re not worried right now, are you?”

“No, it was like this before I went in.”

“Well, we’re old friends, so let’s get along. I’ve read the information you shared, and I think there won’t be any problems with the residents recovering.”

“yes.”

The atmosphere between the two who met briefly at the office of Oh Dae-yang Lawyer wasn’t that bad. Even though they exchanged somewhat businesslike words, today the two of them are allies.

Click, click!

-Please say just one word about today’s trial!

-You are standing trial for the restoration of the residents, which is the core of Prosecutor Kang Hyeon’s revelation case. Are you prepared?

-You are supporting Prosecutor Kang Hyeon once again, so please tell us your thoughts!

In this case, at this location, Baek Hoon-sik is only a prosecutor and the person with the right to request a judgment, and Song Du-seung’s defense attorney is Kim Han-guk, so it is natural that he will receive more attention.

However, Baek Hoon-sik found out that there was another reason why reporters were flocking to Kim Han-guk and pointing microphones and cameras at him.

“Wherever there is a need for community legal assistance, I, Kim Han-guk, am there. ‘Human rights’ form the foundation of a warm rule of law. I have no doubt that the ‘trial on the cancellation of the declaration of disappearance’ at the Central District Prosecutors’ Office, which can be called the heart of these human rights, will give Song Du-seung a new life, treatment, and a chance for recovery.”

‘Why are you so good at speaking?’

Baek Hoon-sik swallowed dryly in surprise as he saw attorney Kim Han-guk using the keyword ‘human rights’ exactly as Kang Hyeon had mentioned.

Some of the people gathered in front of the courthouse clenching their fists as if they were apostles of justice and shaking them seemed to have Kang Hyun in them. No, Kang Hyun was in them.

In the end, Baek Hoon-sik found out why Kim Han-guk was so good at speaking.

‘Are you copying Manager Kang Hyun right now? You’re a copycat.’

Kim Han-guk imitates Kang-hyun with gestures that are about 120 percent excessive.

Baek Hoon-sik couldn’t help but regret not bowing his head deeply when he met him at the law firm’s office.

anyway.

Missing persons declaration cases are conducted in the form of fact-finding investigations, and the process continues with the judge questioning the claimant or witnesses and deciding whether or not to accept them.

Although it was a relatively simple part of the larger picture of this incident, Baek Hoon-sik couldn’t let go of his tension.

It was the same when I entered the narrow courtroom. There were a lot of people, but I couldn’t shake the feeling that it was full of something else.

What filled this place was ‘tension’.

The court is also paying keen attention to this case, and this is also evidence that it is paying considerable attention to it.

“According to Article 44 of the Domestic Relations Act, the case is under the jurisdiction of the family court of the address in principle, but due to the special circumstances of the party, the competent district court had to make an urgent decision, so the trial date was changed due to the reason of the court for concentrated examination, but the date was adjusted due to the request for resumption of the 5th trial division…”

Civil single court.

The judge read the prepared statement with an unusually stern expression and confirmed the identities of the plaintiff Baek Hoon-sik, the party involved in the case Song Du-seung, and the defense attorney Kim Han-guk, who were seated.

‘what?’

In fact, if a case starts off this seriously, the shock is bound to spread to everyone sitting in the courtroom.

However, Baek Hoon-sik could predict that the current situation would proceed very calmly and neatly. Attorney Kim Han-guk’s relaxed expression, the judge’s uncomfortable face, and… .

‘Manager?’

Kang Hyun was sitting in the audience with his arms crossed.

He must be extremely busy, and it must be hard for him to show up here since the order to return to the 5th division was given only recently by the 1st Vice President’s Office.

As soon as Baek Hoon-sik saw Kang Hyun’s face, he realized that the tension he had felt on his way here was for nothing.

‘You could have just done it, right?’

Baek Hoon-sik took his seat at the interrogation table. Even before the judge asked about the purpose of the claim, his mouth began to move.

“According to Article 27 of the Civil Act, if the life or death of an absentee is unclear for five years, the court will make a ‘declaration of disappearance.’ Article 28 of the Civil Act provides that a person is considered dead after the specified period of unknown life or death has expired. However, Mr. Song Doo-seung is still alive here. Therefore, I ask that you accept the court’s request to cancel the declaration of disappearance of Song Doo-seung, the subject of the missing person declaration case No. 380.”

“…eww.”

Song Du-seung made a short sound. The sound seemed to be a sign of affirmation, so Baek Hoon-sik smiled.

A case of request for cancellation without an adjudication. The hidden danger here is the judge.

Given that the Central District Court is clearly under fire from the media, judges will likely want to be as conservative as possible in their decisions to accept the case.

However, as attorney Kim Han-guk, representing Song Doo-seung himself, began to act, the debate with the judge ended with a few questions.

“Currently, Mr. Song Doo-seung’s resident record is said to be completely missing due to administrative errors. There is an opinion that the court should reach an agreement with the competent administrative agency to restore the resident record before filing a claim.”

“According to Article 29 of the Civil Act, if it is confirmed that a missing person is alive, the court may cancel the declaration of disappearance upon the request of the prosecutor.”

“We need additional evidence to prove that Song Doo-seung and Kang Yoon-gi are the same person….”

“We will substitute the submitted evidence, including the National Forensic Service’s response that Song Doo-seung and Kang Yoon-gi are the same person. Also.”

“…?”

“I have applied to the Central District Court to inspect the records of the case number ‘Brother 3500’, a case of confidentiality breach. I would like to request all of the records as evidence.”

“…!”

Kang Hyun’s plan.

As Kim Han-guk’s words rang out, the court was briefly in an uproar.

Since it is a hidden record, there is only the prosecution case number. Brother 3500 Song Doo-seung case.

A case file containing countless secrets, including statements alleging torture and kidnapping, and reviews of deaths.

That’s what Kim Han-guk insisted on, ‘Bring it here to use as evidence.’

As if something that shouldn’t have been said had been said, court clerks and clerks hurried out of the courtroom to contact someone and relay the news to the presiding judge.

Kang Hyun’s eyebrows furrowed slightly. This would be the first time he would confirm the whereabouts of that record.

A moment when Song Doo-seung’s grievances can be cleared and the current Supreme Prosecutors’ Office’s Public Prosecutor’s Office can be put under great pressure.

After a moment, the judge opened his mouth.

“Regarding the prosecution case number 3500, Brothers, that case….”

At this time.

I could feel the reporters rushing out of the courtroom with a whoosh.

Even though it was a small space because it was a public hearing, everyone was there to watch the trial.

Baek Hoon-sik, who guessed that something had happened, looked at Kim Han-guk with a slightly anxious expression.

His expression looked quizzical as he looked at something on his phone, as if he sensed something.

‘It’s not because of this incident. What the hell is going on?’

And when Baek Hoon-sik looked at the back of the audience seats, where Kang Hyun should be.

Kang Hyun wasn’t there.

Something ominous has happened.

“Your Honor, sir, would you please continue speaking?”

It was clear that something had happened, but Baek Hoon-sik’s short career was not enough to notice anything. He simply did his best at the task at hand, not noticing the people around him hastily checking the articles.

But Baek Hoon-sik’s words did not reach anyone’s ears. Their eyes were fixed on one thing.
