◈Episode 95◈
Insurance fraud
Crown Law Firm Special Consulting Room.
Song Yu-jeong and her parents were waiting.
Song Byung-gil, former Minister of Public Administration and Security, asked his wife.
“The rumors here aren’t very good······.”
Oh Young-hee, owner of Baek Knight Law Firm, answered calmly.
“It is known that he is the best in terms of skill.”
“You foolishly thought you could do it well······ But how did you educate your daughter? It’s not even school violence, it’s murder······.”
“You’re the problem, not me. I told you that all you had to do was study hard, right? Don’t you know that Yu-jeong committed murder as soon as she became number one in the class? I told you that I promised you that I could do anything as long as I was number one!”
Song Byeong-gil’s voice also grew louder.
“Did you know I would do this? You thought I would at most ask you to buy me a luxury handbag? Who knew I would commit kidnapping and murder?”
“That’s why I said I would send you abroad to study. It’s because of your ministerial confirmation hearing.”
“Do you think Yoo-jung would have been okay if she had gone abroad? It’s fortunate that the accident happened in Korea. If it had been in another country, she wouldn’t have been released like this.”
“So? It’s my fault that Yoojung ended up like this?”
Even when her parents fight badly, Song Yu-jeong reacts indifferently.
I was sitting quietly looking at my phone.
-Squeak.
The founder opened the door to the consulting room and came in.
The couple’s fight was abruptly interrupted, and Oh Young-hee reached out to the founder.
“Nice to meet you, I’m Oh Young-hee from Baek Knight Law Firm.”
“I have heard of Representative Oh’s reputation. I am sorry, but I do not shake hands unless the request is successful.”
“I feel ashamed of my hands, but there’s nothing I can do about it. When in Rome, you have to follow Roman law.”
“Please sit comfortably.”
The founder looked at Song Yu-jeong, who was looking at her cell phone.
-Bam.
Even though my mother poked me in the ribs, it was no use.
Song Yu-jeong glanced up at the founder, then quickly fixed her gaze on her cell phone screen.
“I’m sorry. My child has been going through a hard time lately.”
“It’s not just your daughter who’s having a hard time. The entire Republic of Korea has had a hard time. It’s shocking that a high school girl kidnapped and murdered a child, but she’s being released right away because she has mental problems? No country in the world has ever had a case like this······.”
Then he brought his face close to Song Yu-jeong and asked.
“How did you feel when you killed those kids?”
Song Yu-jeong finally showed interest and put down her cell phone.
“Can I tell you the truth?”
“Yeah, then we can plan how to argue.”
“Do you think I’m mentally ill, too, lawyer?”
“It doesn’t matter. If it’s advantageous to the argument, you’re considered a lunatic. If it’s disadvantageous, you’re considered a sane person.”
“You say the same thing as my mom.”
“You still haven’t answered my question?”
Song Yu-jeong opened her mouth with a strange smile.
“It was worse than I expected, but it was good. If you ask me if I want to do it again, I would say yes.”
“Thank you for your honest answer.”
“What do you think, lawyer?”
“What do you mean by that?”
“I’ve heard rumors about Bullard Crown. I heard that the lawyer will do anything to win his case.”
“That’s right, I will achieve victory by any means necessary.”
“Then have you ever committed murder for a client?”
The founder answered with a smirk.
“As rumored, he is a reckless student······ Of course he would kill for the benefit of his client. However, that would never be for the benefit of his client.”
“It’s disappointing. Judging by the atmosphere, it seems like they killed dozens of people.”
“The police in South Korea aren’t just a bunch of idiots. Their arrest rate is especially high for murder cases. In the end, you end up being charged with instigating murder and your life is over. If that’s what you want, you should join the Babel Alliance.”
Oh Young-hee spoke bluntly.
“Please take my daughter’s case. I’ll pay you more than you want for the fee.”
“Representative Oh’s family got rid of a child murderer with just one statement of opinion. I think you’re more capable than me.”
“That’s why I’m having a headache right now. This is not an irreversible decision. It can be overturned at any time. Please, lawyer, make me completely innocent.”
“Oh, sir.”
The founder called in a lowered voice.
“Why······ are you like that?”
“Let me be blunt. If I accept this request, Mr. Oh will not live long.”
“!”
Oh Young-hee asked in surprise.
“What are you talking about?”
“I don’t focus only on immediate profits. I think that 0.01% of clients come to me because I see things broadly. My clients have never been disappointed. They come back to me after a while to say thank you.”
“So, why can’t I live long?”
“If your daughter is not punished like this, another victim will appear. Then, the whole family will be in shambles, you two will be locked up in prison, and everyone who helped Song Yu-jeong get released will pay a terrible price.”
Song Byeong-gil suddenly shouted in anger.
“Are you swearing right now!”
“It’s not a bad word, it’s a fact. Do you think your daughter will stop killing?”
“!”
“A psychopath who has his eyes set on murder will never stop. If you lock him up and keep him from going outside, he will find prey in the house. Parents are no exception.”
“What, what did you say!”
Song Byeong-gil and Oh Young-hee couldn’t hide their embarrassment.
Because it was not different from what Shin Dae-seong said.
* * *
Attorney Jang Hyun-soo’s office.
Shin Dae-seong sat at his desk and looked at his laptop screen.
I was able to see the special counseling room situation in real time.
Hwang Yeo-ju was also looking at her laptop with her arms crossed.
“You really did a good job spewing out bad language.”
“Doubt is really scary. If people around you keep saying the same thing, you start to have doubts that aren’t there.”
“I was speechless because it was so absurd. The Blood Crown, the terrifying rumor, was actually a fortune teller with multiple personality disorder.”
“Even so, wasn’t it too much to shoot a gun on our first meeting?”
“He was the one who started the fight. He told me I’d be destined to prey on men for the rest of my life… I’m glad he didn’t kill me.”
“Take a close look at Song Yu-jeong’s face.”
“all right.”
Hwang Yeo-ju manipulated the laptop to enlarge Song Yu-jeong’s face.
“I like it even more. I’m smiling······.”
“No, that’s how anxious feelings appear.”
“But my parents are so shocked that they don’t know what to do. I think they really feel the fear that they might die.”
“It’s just as we intended. Now, they’ll start to become more suspicious. They’ll start to think that Song Yu-jeong’s little actions are an attempt to kill them.”
“But why are you doing this?”
Shin Dae-seong asked, looking up from his laptop.
“Can you explain exactly what your question is?”
“Detective Shin, what will you do when you catch the criminal who brutally murdered your wife and made her live in prison for 20 years?”
“I think I answered that last time······.”
“I want to hear it again now.”
“I said I would leave it to the judgment of the law.”
“I asked myself back then, are you really satisfied with that?”
“I heard the same question from my father-in-law. But I never thought of another way.”
Hwang Yeo-ju asked questioningly.
“That’s what was frustrating? Detective Shin is a psychopath. No one would say anything if he took revenge in a horrible way.”
“Will that bring my dead wife back to life?”
“Wow~ I see such a proper psychopath······ He really makes normal people feel ashamed. But why is he taking personal revenge on him in this case? And in such a cruel way.”
Shin Dae-seong answered while continuing to look at the laptop.
“I’m going to try it too. I wonder if it would feel more satisfying if I took revenge like this.”
“So that’s what you were really thinking.”
“Are you disappointed?”
“No, it’s just more interesting and fun. Let’s show the righteous psychopath detective what human revenge is.”
“Have you made a plan?”
Hwang Yeo-ju shrugged her shoulders and answered.
“There’s no need for any special operations. Just a few pranks.”
“When will it start?”
“Everything is already ready. Starting tonight, the Royal Family will be suspected of ‘insurance fraud.’”
“Does that mean that ridiculous accidents happen often?”
“Now I know you’re kidding.”
* * *
The royal family’s mansion.
Song Byeong-gil and Oh Young-hee were so upset that they couldn’t sleep.
They sat at the living room table and had a quick drink.
“How is Yujeong’s hospital treatment going?”
“I’m looking for the right person.”
“Tell her to hurry as much as possible. I don’t know if Yu-jeong is really my daughter. Sometimes, when I see her smiling, it gives me the creeps.”
“······.”
Oh Young-hee didn’t shout, asking how she could say something like that.
Because she felt the same way.
“There’s not enough alcohol······.”
“Aren’t you drinking too much?”
“What does it matter? I don’t have to go to work tomorrow.”
Song Byeong-gil came out of the bedroom.
It was late at night so I had to go to the kitchen and get my own alcohol.
Oh Young-hee shook her head as if she had a headache.
“Surely not Yu-jeong······ No, that’s ridiculous. I raised her with so much love and affection, but she just made a mistake because she was under the influence of medicine. To think of her parents as prey, that’s just ridiculous······.”
This is when Oh Young-hee asks questions, answers, and even denies things on her own.
-Wow!
There’s a loud noise coming from outside the door.
Oh Young-hee was startled and went outside to find Song Byeong-gil collapsed near the kitchen.
“Hey, what’s going on?”
Song Byeong-gil answered with a very distressed expression.
“I fell down while I was bringing out alcohol from the kitchen······.”
“How much alcohol did you drink?”
“I didn’t drink much······ You saw it too.”
“Then why did you fall?”
“I don’t know. I just felt something catch on my leg.”
The helpers living in the house came running out in a hurry.
They looked groggy, as if they had just woken up from a sudden nap.
“How did this happen?”
“I fell down while coming out of the kitchen. Please help me up.”
The helpers tried to lift Song Byeong-gil up.
“Eww, huh, my back······.”
“Madam, the Minister seems to be badly injured. I think it would be better to call 119.”
“There’s nothing I can do. Do it quickly. I’ll get ready to go to the hospital and come out.”
The helpers quickly called 119, and Oh Young-hee came back into the room.
She quickly changed her clothes and left the bedroom.
“Oh my god!”
-Bam~.
Oh Young-hee suddenly lost her balance and fell forward.
“Madam, are you okay?”
“Oh, my face hurts so much······.”
Her condition was not good. She had fallen forward and suffered a serious injury to her face.
“Call 119 immediately and call another ambulance.”
“All right.”
The senior housekeeper couldn’t hide her bewildered expression.
“This is truly outrageous. How could something like this happen······.”
Song Byeong-gil and Oh Young-hee, who were seriously injured, were equally shocked.
They turned their gaze to the second floor where their daughter’s room was, with a feeling of doubt.
“!”
“!”
Song Yoo-jung is sitting on the stairs with a smiling face.
* * *
An illegal business establishment in Gangnam.
Kim Han-gyeol was playing a game with Bae Young-chang.
It’s a one-on-one shooting game.
The outcome was quickly decided.
-Game over.
“Detective Kim, congratulations on your 123rd challenge and 123rd loss.”
Kim Han-gyeol responded that he could not admit it.
“I shoot guns too, but this is not it! Did you use a nuclear weapon?”
“Even if he’s a criminal, you shouldn’t be suspicious like that. Don’t get too worked up. I’m a master of all games.”
A complaint followed by a sigh.
This is because they were strictly forbidden from going outside.
“I would like to buy you a buffet, but I can’t because of the police budget. I’ll just have to order Jajangmyeon.”
“Ugh~ It’s a Chinese restaurant again. They only serve one menu, so they can’t even serve Jjamppong.”
There was nothing they could do even if the police complained.
It was when Bae Young-chang called to order Jajangmyeon.
-bang!
The door opened roughly and suspicious men barged in.
Kim Han-gyeol, getting up from his seat, sensed something ominous.
