392.
“I asked why you came here. You were given instructions to stay on duty.”
In front of the Central District Prosecutors’ Office.
At Kang Hyun’s question, Ahn Ji-won looked at him with slightly rebellious eyes, as if glaring at him.
‘You came here too.’
But there was no reason to feel sorry for him. Now that I knew that Kang Hyun was close to Jung Jung-heon and Jung Ji-eun.
She shuddered with shame when she recently heard that Chief Prosecutor Jeong Ji-eun, whom she had exclaimed with such respect, and Kang Hyeon, whom she had initially disliked, were almost like disciples who had shared a good relationship.
“…I came here because there is disagreement about the central government’s stance on the current situation.”
“If you have anything in particular to say to the inspector, please let me know. I will gather it together and send it to you in writing.”
“I want to talk to you directly. It will only take a moment.”
“Then tell me first.”
As Kang Hyun continued to block her, Ahn Ji Won couldn’t control her slightly angry feelings and let out a harsh voice.
“Why are you doing that to the manager? Manager Jeong Ji-eun is not the kind of person who would do something like that. She didn’t become a prosecutor through any dishonest means, and she has proven herself with outstanding skills.”
“i know.”
“But why is the Central District Prosecutors’ Office so silent? Why isn’t the Chief Prosecutor saying anything? I don’t know what Chief Kang Hyun went in and exchanged words with….”
The voices of internal staff supporting Jeong Jung-heon and Jeong Ji-eun will be in line with Ahn Ji-won’s thoughts.
You might be wondering why they don’t respond immediately and why they don’t respond to the media with explanations.
Because doing nothing like this is tantamount to ‘acknowledging’ the current situation.
When Kang Hyun remained silent, Ahn Ji-won pushed him away slightly and tried to open the door to the prosecutor’s office. Then he simply opened his mouth and stopped her.
“The chief prosecutor is not here. Even if I open the door, all I will have to do is explain to First Vice Chief Do Jin-guk why I opened the door to the chief prosecutor’s office.”
“… The chief inspector isn’t here? Then… surely… .”
“He disappeared. Even Deputy Director Do doesn’t seem to know where he is.”
For a moment, she made a face as if the sky was falling down, and then staggered. The prosecutor Jeong Ji-eun, whom she respected, disappeared, and then her father, Chief Prosecutor Jeong Joong-heon, also disappeared.
No matter how hard you try to shield yourself, the person in question is hiding, so isn’t the current situation one where you can’t do anything?
“Then… the media’s claims are true…”
“No. We have work to do.”
Kang Hyun cut off Ahn Ji-won’s words abruptly, leaving her somewhat dispirited, but she perked up her ears and burned her remaining energy at his ‘no’.
‘I just said no. There’s still hope.’
Although she felt that Kang Hyeon was not very good as a person and was not to her liking as a superior, he was the best in terms of skills and his eye for the matter was better than that of any other chief prosecutor.
“Please prepare for my business trip to Jeju Island.”
“… .”
“Jeju Island.”
“yes?”
“Shall I say it again? Jeju Island. The final witness examination date for the trial to revoke the declaration of Song Doo-seung’s disappearance is tomorrow. Get ready to board a plane right after the hearing, and don’t tell anyone around you.”
Kang Hyun finished speaking and looked into her eyes as if he was looking into her eyes. Ahn Ji Won came to her senses and looked around.
It was located in the middle of the prosecutor’s office and the annex, but no one was listening to their conversation.
Kang Hyun must have something on his mind. He didn’t abandon Jeong Ji-eun and Jeong Jung-heon, nor did he show any sign of disappointment in them.
‘Jeju Island?’
Now that she had been working with Kang Hyun for quite some time, she knew his style, so Ahn Ji-won didn’t ask why specifically. However, her suspicions still remained, and her frown didn’t soften.
‘What on earth do you know?’
Kang Hyun left with the same indifferent smile on his face as the day before the incident.
It was something that Ahn Ji-won was really curious about. What was the reason why he could be so calm and unfazed?
So she started looking for a flight to follow Kang Hyun’s instructions diligently. All she could do now was follow his words.
* * *
A ‘fact finding’ procedure that the court will go through to decide whether or not to accept a judgment of cancellation of a missing person’s declaration.
The final part of this fact-finding investigation was an investigation into Song Du-seung’s past personal information as revealed by the records of the ‘Central District Prosecutors’ Office Brothers 3500′ case presented by Baek Hoon-sik.
To support this, the court naturally set a date for the final witness examination, and Kang Hyeon was able to witness with his own eyes the sight of Wang Nam-ryong of the Supreme Prosecutors’ Office’s Public Prosecutor’s Office being summoned as a witness by the court’s own authority.
-This is Chief Wang Nam-ryong, the great swordsman!
Click, click!
“Is the Supreme Prosecutors’ Office’s Public Prosecutor’s Office connected to Mr. Song Doo-seung?”
“This question is unrelated to the case.”
“There are suspicions that the Supreme Prosecutors’ Office is also responsible for declaring Song Doo-seung missing and presuming him dead.”
“That is a ridiculous lie.”
“There is an analysis that Song Doo-seung’s resurrection will have a huge impact on the Great Sword!”
“doesn’t exist.”
“Are you responsible for kidnapping, torturing, and even rendering disabled Mr. Song Doo-seung?”
“doesn’t exist.”
Wang Nam-ryong didn’t even blink, but it can’t be said that he wasn’t affected by the barrage of questions from reporters with their eyes burning brightly.
This was proof that Kang Hyun’s plan worked perfectly, and if it weren’t for Wang Nam Ryong’s counterattack, Baek Hoon Sik might have been thrilled and dancing.
but.
Central District Court.
“Phew.”
Baek Hoon-sik took a deep breath, then cleared his throat and said, “Hmm, hmm,” after noticing what others were thinking.
‘Isn’t this a situation where I could lose my job if this continues?’
Wang Nam-ryong’s forced summons should have been a refreshing event, but in his opinion, the situation was now very complicated.
Jeong Joong-heon has disappeared, Jeong Ji-eun has been captured as a target, and Do Jin-guk, the acting chief prosecutor of the Central District Prosecutors’ Office, is working to blow up the entire 5th trial division.
Wang Nam-ryong is using this as a weapon to exert silent pressure not to touch upon the Song Du-seung case any further.
‘I won’t die among monsters, right?’
Fortunately, Kang Hyun did not let Baek Hoon Sik endure this situation alone.
Swish.
“You can just sit still today.”
“…yes!”
Baek Hoon-sik looked at Kang Hyeon, who was sitting with him as the representative of the plaintiff Seok Song-du-seung, with relieved eyes.
It was fortunate for Kang Hyun that he participated in the judging himself.
“Hey, is everything okay, boss?”
“Of course. As far as this cancellation case goes, it’s pretty much like we won.”
“Right… .”
However, in the end, Kang Hyun appeared in court.
What this meant was that Kang Hyun had reached a point where he had no choice but to step forward.
-It’s the day when Daegeom and Kang Hyeon meet in person.
-Will the fight be fierce?
-It’ll end without much trouble? It seems like Kang Hyun’s side has already won the Song Doo-seung case.
Many people were anticipating the meeting between the Supreme Prosecutors’ Office and Kang Hyun and making various speculations.
The collusion between the Supreme Prosecutors’ Office and the court raised by Kang Hyun, the kidnapping of Song Doo-seung, the torture, and other internal corruption, and the Public Investigation Department at the center of it all.
There was no one who did not know that the truth would unfold here, deepen, and the battle would continue.
The trial to revoke the missing person declaration for Song Doo-seung begins, and the witness examination date begins.
“I will now begin the Injeong News. The witness, are you Wang Nam-ryong?”
“yes.”
“My job is a prosecutor.”
“Yes. I am the head of the Public Investigation Department of the Supreme Prosecutors’ Office.”
During the fact-finding investigation, the interrogation of witnesses begins, and Wang Nam-ryong stands up to receive questions from the court.
Kang Hyun was still staring straight ahead with a blank expression, while Wang Nam-ryong continued answering the questions to the court while repeatedly making a mocking expression.
Okay then.
“Your Honor, I hereby request evidence as I stated at the last hearing.”
Kang Hyun-eun is like Wang Nam-ryong laughing at her, ‘Brother 3500′ of the Central District Prosecutors’ Office.
I applied for this secret record received from the district court as evidence.
Kang Hyun’s side would have already taken all the copies and used them to prepare for the next incident. Wang Nam-ryong, who was very upset, glared at him, but Kang Hyun still ignored him and did not look at him.
The final moments of such fierce attack and defense.
“Your Honor. I, Chief Prosecutor Wang Nam-ryong, have something to say to the court, the plaintiff, and the plaintiff’s representative.”
“… Are you saying there is something outside the incident?”
“Yes.”
A surprise statement from a witness that is not common and is rarely accepted.
Nod.
But he is the Chief of the Supreme Prosecutors’ Office. The powerless judge nodded.
“Then let me say something.”
He drew a somewhat harsh response from the audience as he spoke his first words.
-I guess he’s the Airborne Division chief.
-The judge can’t even say a word.
-I guess it’s true that the prosecution and the court are both in control.
“hmm.”
To enjoy his authority.
It was a familiar, comfortable, and natural moment for Wang Nam-ryong.
He began his speech with his hands spread out smoothly, without any nervousness, like a candidate for congress on a campaign trail.
This action alone would probably knock half of the momentum out of an average inspector.
Wasn’t he a person with immense authority and power? Wang Nam-ryong was someone who knew this very well.
“Song Doo-seung is the main culprit who exposed the internal secrets of our prosecution and caused political and social troubles, but it seems like Prosecutor Kang Hyeon and the entire Central District Prosecutors’ Office trial department have nothing better to do.”
“…!”
As expected, Wang Nam-ryong did not seem to consider himself qualified to be a witness for the cancellation trial.
The prosecutors representing the claimants are his juniors and his enemies. This is the kind of behavior he can only take because he sees them as nothing more or less than that.
‘Ugh, I really want to go out.’
Baek Hoon-sik was so flustered that he couldn’t say anything and started to quickly roll his eyes and squirm. The judge, who had lost his composure, couldn’t say anything and just stared straight ahead. The courtroom atmosphere became heavy.
Even Kang Hyun was crossing his arms and receiving Wang Nam Ryong’s sharp gaze.
however.
“… .”
“There is a total amount of public power, but you are putting aside other cases and focusing on this unnecessary case to get media attention and gain fame! I think this senior knows well where Prosecutor Kang Hyeon’s fame comes from.”
“… .”
“Also! According to rumors coming from the excellent information network of the Supreme Prosecutors’ Office, it seems that even after Mr. Song Du-seung’s return to the village, he intends to help him deal with the Supreme Prosecutors’ Office corruption case from various angles. Rather than aiming arrows at the same organization and living like an isolated island, how about you dedicate yourself to the public interest and the people? Prosecutor Kang Hyeon.”
“… .”
“Prosecutor Kang Hyeon! Why can’t you speak? Hurry up and answer!”
As he poured out what he wanted to say, when Kang Hyun did not respond as expected, he became a little excited and shouted in a higher tone than before. Despite the fact that reporting was currently prohibited in the area, the shutter lights began to flash secretly.
But Kang Hyun remained silent.
“Ha! That’s it, that’s it. It seems the shameless prosecutors have nothing to say. I will now faithfully answer the questions of the case as a witness.”
The arrogant Wang Nam-ryong, the silent Kang Hyeon.
‘Yeah. You have nothing to say. You must be surprised by my correct method.’
Kang Hyun’s side only knows based on circumstantial evidence that he was the one who brought up the suspicions about Jeong Ji-eun’s unfair admission, and there is no clear evidence. They also probably don’t know that he was directly involved in the Song Du-seung incident.
Wang Nam-ryong must have decided that it was okay to do it this way.
However, that is a mistake.
As long as Kang Hyun is in place, all of his judgments will turn out to be wrong.
Knock knock!
Suddenly, Kang Hyun got up from his seat.
Then, the audience began to come to life and I felt the atmosphere change rapidly.
Wang Nam-ryong, who had no idea why, looked around with a bewildered expression. However, he realized that it was already too late.
“I enjoyed the talk. It was an interesting talk and gave me an opportunity to think about what elements of illogicality can become logical.”
“… What, what did you say?”
Strangely enough, Kang Hyun didn’t get hit at all.
Even if the head of the Public Prosecutor’s Office, who is his senior prosecutor and holds immense power, shows up and starts swearing at him in an official setting.
He was just doing his job without thinking about anything.
Now it’s Kang Hyun’s time.
“Your Honor, may I speak?”
“Yes, please do so.”
“From now on, it seems like there is no need to continue the witness examination procedure. According to Article 29 of the Civil Act, the fact-finding procedure is a necessary condition for ‘declaring a missing person,’ and for ‘cancellation of the declaration of missing person,’ it is a secondary procedure. At this point, it is an unnecessary procedure that has been proven that Mr. Song Doo-seung is alive, and it is only an additional requirement for a clearer judgment. However, does the witness ‘Mr. Wang Nam-ryong’ not have any intention of answering sincerely as a witness?”
When Kang Hyun stood up and started talking, Wang Nam-ryong, who was experiencing something like this for the first time, looked at him with a bit of bewilderment.
“What, what did you say? ‘Mr. Wang Nam-ryong’?”
“I have also seen the court’s lenient attitude toward the witness instead of questioning the witness, so may I say something to the witness, the audience, and the public?”
“… Okay, please do that.”
The judge answers as if he has given up. He will be reprimanded for not controlling the trial. But Kang Hyun doesn’t care. He turns around and looks at the audience.
“While the trial to cancel the declaration of disappearance and the subsequent presumption of death against Mr. Song Doo-seung is in its final stages, our Central District Prosecutors’ Office trial department has discovered something strange in Song Doo-seung’s ‘Brother 3500 Case.’
The details of the crime Song Doo-seung was accused of, ‘disclosing official secrets,’ are wrapped up in the simple fact of the crime, ‘exposing the right to delegate work.’ This is a step forward from the ‘fake record,’ which only consists of the crime and the reason for the conclusion, but it is also clear that the reason is not convincing.”
A picture of giving and receiving in return.
Wang Nam-ryong, who was experiencing something like this for the first time, could only sit blankly in the witness stand and stare into space, realizing one thing.
‘I shouldn’t be in the same court as that guy.’
