Along with the God of Law - Chapter 405



Only Noblemtl

405.

Kang Hyun’s trial department, 5th criminal division chief’s office.

The news that Chief Criminal Judge Maeng Ho-jae, the representative of corrupt judges at Seoul Central District Court, was merely suspended from his duties was a bit disappointing to Kang Hyeon.

It was also regrettable that the ‘torture technician’ investigators who had been dramatically brought in by Jeong Joong-heon and helped to deliver a decisive blow to the trial were investigated without detention.

However, soon news came that Wang Nam-ryong had given up on appealing.

“You gave up?”

“Yes. He gave up… No, he said he gave up. Would you like to know more details?”

Now, with eyes of respect, Ahn Ji-won is reporting to Kang Hyeon.

Kang Hyun stood up from his seat with a bright smile for the first time in a long while and let out a short, small cheer.

“Wow, we won.”

“…?”

“It all worked out well. It will be a great help in getting the local court’s informants, the investigators, and the swindlers properly sentenced. The captain bowed his head and admitted defeat.”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“It went well!”

“Yes, yes. That’s true.”

It was almost the first time since he joined the 5th Detective Division that he had seen him look happy.

An Ji-won couldn’t help but be flustered because she liked it so much that she felt like jumping up and down like a child.

Is the person in front of you right now Manager Kang Hyeon?

“Anyway, you worked hard! Let’s have a meal together later. Oh, and are you still hesitant about having a meal with me?”

“Oh, no. I’m fine… .”

“Oh, good! Good. Then I’ll go to the Joint Chiefs of Staff for a bit! I have to tell you the good news right away.”

When Kang Hyun patted her and left the place first, Ahn Ji Won turned around for a while and watched him leave from afar.

“What an attractive person….”

He could barely hear her voice as it moved away. It didn’t matter. Kang-Hyeon was in the best mood right now.

like this.

A week after the first trial verdict.

Wang Nam-ryong gave up his appeal and the first trial verdict was finalized.

The Central District Prosecutors’ Office set off a celebratory fireworks display, and the atmosphere naturally began to change into a festival atmosphere.

There were also employees who pretended not to know about the incident and were absorbed in their work.

It doesn’t matter whether the chief prosecutor is Jeong Joong-heon or Do Jin-guk, or the secretary who was talking big.

The newly hired supervisor and Kang Hyeon’s senior prosecutors who were stuck at work and never left the office.

Everyone was amazed by Kang Hyun’s incredible accomplishments and offered their congratulations and words of relief.

“great job.”

“You are amazing, Inspector Kang Hyeon.”

“We must correct what needs to be corrected. We will learn as well.”

The prosecution organization surprisingly prioritizes integrity.

He hated being in the public eye because he thought 1 percent evil represented 99 percent good.

In that sense, when the atrocities committed by Wang Nam-ryong and the hidden truth were all revealed and they received the price for their crimes, they were like model prisoners who had just been released from prison, free of worries.

In particular, the Supreme Prosecutors’ Office’s actions were strange and unusual.

– I would like to express my deepest gratitude to Prosecutor Kang Hyeon for reminding me of the prosecution’s mission to pursue the discovery of the substantive truth.

It was Bae Seong-shin’s own words. Was it his own judgment or was it a script written by someone else?

In an instant, he changed his attitude and was the first to congratulate and encourage Kang Hyeon, before going on a long vacation.

And some things changed.

The Supreme Prosecutors’ Office’s organizational chart was reorganized, the number of personnel in the Public Investigation Department was reduced by half, and regulations were established to ensure that they were not involved in any work other than public security work and political crime work.

And the internal and external affairs that were originally supposed to be handled by the Airborne Division were taken over by the Inspection Department of the Supreme Prosecutors’ Office.

The Supreme Prosecutors’ Office’s Inspection Department may seem like a farce, but the fact that the work was transferred to the Inspection Department rather than the Supreme Prosecutors’ Office’s Anti-Corruption Department shows that the Supreme Prosecutors’ Office has made progress.

Because the Supreme Prosecutors’ Office is not directly under the Prosecutor General and is structured so that it is also influenced by the Ministry of Justice.

Naturally, Bae Seong-shin’s power diminished, and public opinion criticizing him began to grow.

This was a natural result of defeat. Bae Seong-shin accepted the defeat and did not give any further work contact or instructions to the Central District Prosecutors’ Office or Kang Hyeon.

On the other hand, Kang Hyun had a lot to enjoy as the winner.

First of all, Song Doo-seung.

“Ugh!”

“Oh, you’re good at it.”

“aha!”

Song Doo-seung entered rehabilitation treatment.

This started with psychiatric counseling and included support to correct his awkward posture and gait.

At the center of it all was Kim Ju-in, the supermarket owner who played a key role in this incident and was the first person to report the incident.

Kim Joo-in took good care of Song Du-seung as if he were her brother, and occasionally appeared in newspaper articles and the media.

Every time, he would mention one person without fail.

“If it weren’t for Prosecutor Kang Hyeon, I wouldn’t have been able to resolve all the misunderstandings and reach this happy ending.”

It would be shameless to ask Song Doo-seung whether this is a happy ending.

But there are also prosecutors from the 5th Division like Kang Hyeon-do, Baek Hoon-sik, Ahn Ji-won, and Jeon Yun-woo.

There was an atmosphere of recognition that he had helped to regain the life he had lost, as he had visited the 5th Division office for meals dozens of times before the trial ended.

In particular, it seemed that the prosecutor Baek Hoon-sik was a new and refreshing experience.

“Manager.”

“yes?”

“I’ve decided. I’m going to be like you, sir.”

“You thought well.”

“Like the chief, I want to become a prosecutor who enjoys the happiness that comes from small things, helping and protecting people in difficult situations rather than pursuing big cases. I definitely want to do this!”

“ah….”

Kang Hyun was about to say, “If that’s your style, go to Prosecutor Kim Si-hwan,” but stopped himself.

Of course, what do you think?

If this incident has taught him something, isn’t that enough?

* * *

“I’m here.”

Kang Hyun stopped by his mother’s house for the first time in a long while.

“Son, are you here?”

My mother, who had been receiving outpatient treatment for a heart valve problem, was now back in much better health.

He started going to work occasionally again and also started pursuing hobbies.

However, because Kang Hyun was busy, he was unable to keep his promise to himself to ‘see his mother often’.

She must have been so happy to see his face after such a long time that she stopped what she was doing for a long time, looked at his face, and caressed it.

“Did you go to the hospital?”

“then.”

“Have you eaten?”

“then.”

“Did you take the supplements I left for you last time? You still haven’t opened them, right? Oh, I should have packed them for you… .”

“It seems like Mom has become a child now and you have become a mother. Don’t worry, I’ll take good care of you.”

Then, she entered the room with the brisk gait typical of middle-aged women and took something out.

“hydrangea?”

“Isn’t the color really pretty? It’s September, when hydrangeas are withering. I don’t know how you managed to get such pretty flowers.”

“Huh? Who?”

“Who are you?”

“hi!”

Suddenly, someone appeared from behind him with a loud noise, and Kang Hyun was so startled that he almost fell over.

It was Yoon Ha-neul. She had been working until dawn for a collaboration event with a famous Japanese pop artist, and now she should be asleep in Tokyo.

So Kang Hyun just turned his malfunctioning head back and opened his mouth.

“…I’m sure you should be sleeping right now?”

“What are you sleeping on?”

As his mother and Yoon Ha-neul looked at Kang-hyeon as if they were laughing, Kang-hyeon felt like he was a little kid and looked at them in turns as he spoke.

“No, how did you get here? No, did Mom call a busy kid?”

“Actually, I’ve been here and there several times.”

“Many times?”

“It’s hard to keep meeting your mother without telling you. This is an event I prepared.”

Kang Hyun’s surprise continued.

Even for Kang Hyun, he got to see Yoon Ha Neul’s otherworldly tension, which is not easy to see.

“Tada! I made dinner too. Here! Abalone and shrimp, and this is braised vegetable side dish… There’s also salad, but how about something a little Korean?”

“Our Haneul is so good at cooking.”

The way she excitedly introduced the food, exclaiming, “Yum!”

‘What a heaven for us’ came out of my mother’s mouth.

It took a while for Kang Hyun to understand the situation and calm down.

In fact, even though they were dating, she was a famous celebrity and Kang Hyun was a very busy prosecutor.

I didn’t care at all about what to do for each of my families, and I thought that Yoon Ha-neul had only seen her mother once before when she was sick…

“So, you came and went to play a lot without me knowing?”

“So that’s how it is.”

“huh.”

I was surprised by the relationship between my mother and Yoon Ha-neul, who seemed quite close. She must have been busy too, but I didn’t know that my thinking that she didn’t pay attention was just my excuse.

I felt like a lot had happened while I was busy with work.

When Yoon Ha-neul told him that this schedule had been canceled and that he had been left with no time to spare, Kang-hyun couldn’t tell for a moment whether he should be sad or happy about it.

“Okay… yes.”

“Okay.”

Fortunately, she didn’t seem to care much, so Kang-Hyeon was able to decide to be happy for the time being.

Clink, clank.

Bubble bubble.

A meal together with my mother and Yoon Ha-neul.

The ‘still-fresh taste’ of food cooked by Yoon Ha-neul herself warmed my heart as the forgotten joy came back to me.

‘too….’

It was the happy moment that Kang Hyun had been dreaming of and longing for.

There was a time, very briefly, when he worried that his own family circumstances would be compared to Yoon Ha-neul’s life.

I also had concerns about whether we should introduce each other’s families to each other when our lives and locations are different.

However, there was no need to worry or fret about such things.

‘I’m so happy. What.’

After finishing their meal, Kang Hyun and Yoon Ha Neul said goodbye to their mother and walked outside.

“We’ve both been super busy this summer.”

“Yeah. But I had a good time on the trip.”

“Do I have to keep the photos I took for the rest of my life?”

“That picture?”

“huh.”

As I walked around, I felt like I was back in college.

My mother had recently moved into a new house, so the neighborhood was unfamiliar and awkward, which made it even more difficult.

The air was cool and refreshing. If you think about it, it was a little chilly.

But the coldness didn’t matter to the two. Kang Hyun wrapped his arms around Yoon Ha Neul’s shoulders. She wrapped her arms around his waist.

And the two walked for a long time, sharing stories of what had happened, thoughts that had passed, and recent news.

The interesting story continued. And then.

“Ah. Chief Prosecutor Jeong Ji-eun. You know?”

“Aren’t you one of the teachers?”

“That’s right. He’s planning to get married next year.”

“With who?”

“There is another inspector.”

“yes.”

It was a very insignificant story. It was a very natural and meaningless story.

But then, suddenly, Yoon Ha-neul stopped walking.

“Kang Hyun.”

“huh?”

“Do you like me?”

“uh.”

“Then there is.”

Yoon Ha-neul seemed to be contemplating whether or not to speak, brushing her flowing black hair behind her ears. She also fiddled with her hat, which she naturally wore when walking down this street.

She thought deeply about something for a while, then nodded briefly as if she had made a decision.

She was always cool-headed, more rational than Kang Hyun, and always overtook her emotional side. She was the type who had clear public and private interests.

That’s what Yoon Ha-neul said.

“Do you want to get married?”
