The Mad Prosecutor Picked Up AI - Chapter 4
Only Noblemtl
Episode 4 I’m like that even on a regular basis
[Synchronizing. 54%… … 72%… … 94%… … .]
[Synchronization completed.]
A clear, beeping sound signaled the end of synchronization.
“So now I can try out the features I mentioned earlier?”
[Now that synchronization is complete, you can communicate by speaking silently.]
Oh, really? That’s good. Otherwise, people would think I’m crazy.
‘What does it mean to aggregate the visual information that users encounter?’
The hologram showed us through action instead of words.
On one side of the hospital corridor, a man wearing a doctor’s gown and another man were standing talking. About 20 meters away from me?
I could tell that they were two men, their approximate ages, and that one of them was a doctor, but it was difficult to find out more details.
At that moment, the two people’s figures began to zoom in and enlarge in my field of vision, as if I was looking at a photograph on a computer.
‘oh.’
First the whole body, then the upper body, then the face.
A photo that gradually zooms in as it comes into focus.
The words ‘Internal Medicine Jeong Chan-su’ were clearly visible, embroidered on the doctor’s gown. The employee ID card the man was wearing around his neck read ‘Section Chief Kim Bong-du’.
[I guess you had red soup for lunch.]
I could also see the red liquid splattered on the front of his shirt. I could even see the hands of the watch he was wearing on his wrist pointing to 4:34.
‘This is killing me. I don’t even have to get close to it, it’s like I took a picture and enlarged it.’
[You can also store everything Hyungwang sees and hears in data form. This will help analyze and solve cases later.]
‘Didn’t you say auditory information earlier?’
At that moment, the conversation between two people far away sounded clear as if they were being held right next to each other.
“Even if you’re busy, please make some time. Let’s have a meal together sometime, Sister-in-law.”
“Okay. When was the last time we all saw each other? Haven’t we seen each other since you got married?”
“I saw you at my son’s first birthday party.”
“That’s right.”
This doesn’t require a separate wiretapping device, right?
Is it just my imagination? The hologram keeps seeming to raise its chin.
[You can also record the screen that Hyungwang sees as a video.]
‘Oh, is that okay?’
[However, since that may violate the current Personal Information Protection Act, you need to decide in which cases you will record. Would you like to set it now?]
‘Why bother doing that? Tell someone else to do it.’
[No one else can do it.]
‘? What does that mean?’
[AI3000KN05-03 can only be used by one synchronized person.]
‘So, just unsync it and have someone else sync it again.’
[No, it is not possible. The function to unsync, delete existing data, and then sync with a new person has not been added yet. I understand that various functions will be added when the next version of AI is developed in the future.]
‘… … .’
[… … ?]
‘Once you sync it, it’s over?’
[yes.]
‘Other people can’t use it?’
[Yes.]
Huh.
hmm.
So, is there a way to return this to its original owner…?
The hologram paused for a moment and then asked.
[Isn’t Hyungwang the legitimate user of AI3000KN05-03?]
‘Let’s just say that the original owner is different.’
The hologram spoke in a tone of absurdity.
[Are you a thief?]
‘No. I picked it up on the way here.’
[Even if it was picked up on the street, according to case law, it is considered embezzlement under Article 360 of the Criminal Act… … ]
‘Yeah, you’re great. You’re really great.’

The next morning, meeting time.
“So, you missed the sword yesterday because you had to go to the hospital? It wasn’t like you were slacking off.”
“yes.”
Manager Jang Gi-tae stroked his chin.
“Fell down on the street?”
“No, it’s because I collided with a UFO.”
“What the heck is this kid’s UFO!”
“Manager, please fix it.”
When Chief Jang Gi-tae clenched his fist, Senior Kim Hyeon-cheol, who was standing next to him, reflexively stepped forward to stop him.
“An unidentified flying object flew over my head… … .”
“So you’re saying you just got hit by a flying rock?”
“It wasn’t exactly a rock, but it was similar.”
“Oh my, I shouldn’t have said that.”
Manager Jang Gi-tae hit his chest several times as if he was frustrated, then gulped down the tea on the table.
“Anyway, I’m glad you weren’t seriously hurt. Are you able to do your job? You hit your head, I heard?”
“Don’t worry. It’s the same as before when you get hurt.”
“I was wondering if you had come to your senses again.”
“yes?”
“No, that’s fine.”
The manager sighed as he looked through the files on his desk.
“I don’t think I can give you a new sword since there are already a lot of cases piling up. Let’s have the rest of you split it up and do it little by little.”
“yes.”
“yes.”
Chief Jang Gi-tae, who had been throwing the documents evenly to all the inspectors except me, held the last one and became lost in thought.
“This is a bit tricky, and I don’t know who to ask.”
“What kind of incident is it?”
“There was a hit-and-run accident on the side of a mountain road a while ago, and a high school girl was seriously injured. She still hasn’t regained consciousness.”
[Don’t hit-and-run drivers usually get caught?]
‘That’s true, but there aren’t many CCTVs here like in the city, and it might be difficult to find witnesses.’
While I was explaining to AI3000KN05-03, Manager Jang Gi-tae continued speaking.
“There are no witnesses, and there is no CCTV in the area. The police investigated and found the suspect’s vehicle, but it was already repaired, so there is no evidence. The owner of the car is also evading the charges.”
“That must be a headache.”
When Senior Kim Hyun-cheol nodded, the hologram tilted its head.
[Why don’t you just get a confession? You can find evidence of guilt based on the confession.]
The AI3000KN05-03 had legal knowledge, numerous case laws, and several other groundbreaking functions, but since it was the first time it was being used in a real-world situation, there were times when I spoke in a textbook-like manner.
Just like now.
Since I was a kind person, I explained it to AI3000KN05-03.
‘How are you going to get that confession? You’ll have to present evidence to get a confession anyway.’
[ah.]
It’s chicken or egg. It would be easier to get a confession and secure evidence, but most people won’t admit to a crime until they are presented with evidence.
If there is no evidence and the culprit does not admit to it, it will definitely be a very troublesome case.
The prosecutors avoided the chief’s gaze, fearing that a case might fall on them.
I was looking straight at him without avoiding his gaze.
“You hurry up and take care of what’s piling up.”
All I ended up doing was listening to complaints.
Chief Jang Gi-tae muttered as if he was worried.
“This is a big deal. The victim is the granddaughter of National Assembly member Baek Cheon-su… … .”
“I will do it!”
Before the chief could even finish speaking, Prosecutor Na Kang-jin raised his hand and shouted.
Hey, he was just sitting there quietly until now. Look at him biting hard when I told him that the victim was Baek Cheon-su’s granddaughter.
“Quiet.”
“What? What did you just say?”
Na Kang-jin glared at me with a frown on his face.
“You want to take charge of this?”
“Oh, yes. If you just leave it to me, I will definitely solve it!”
As soon as the manager spoke to him, he bowed his head in a humble manner.
“Assemblyman Baek Cheon-soo is stepping up and saying it’s his granddaughter’s business. If he makes a mistake here, it could be a big problem.”
“Don’t worry! I’ll get a confession from the culprit and find evidence!”
In fact, it’s not something that Na Kang-jin has been doing for the past day or two. The director must have known that he would naturally come forward if he found out that the victim was related to a member of the National Assembly.
So, I guess he secretly let that slip.
Who wouldn’t want to go to Seoul? But Na Kang-jin was determined to go to Seoul.
So, I was putting off all the small cases and trying to prove my achievements by taking on only the biggest cases possible.
The victim is the granddaughter of four-term lawmaker Baek Cheon-soo, so she has no choice but to come forward regardless of whether people call her a sly person or not.
“Okay, then. You try to do it well.”
“thank you!”
As everyone stood up from their seats, each holding their assigned documents, Manager Jang Gi-tae called me.
“Sword.”
“yes?”
It seemed like he had a lot to say, but the manager just swallowed it and added only one thing.
“Let’s do well.”
“yes.”
As I was leaving the office, AI3000KN05-03 was impressed.
[oh.]
‘What’s coming?’
[One of my functions is a facial expression recognition program.]
‘There’s something like that? It has quite a lot of functions?’
[I’ve practiced machine learning with data, but this is my first time using it in a real situation.]
‘Really? How was it?’
[This is the expression on Chief Jang Gi-tae’s face as he looked at Hyun-kwang a little while ago. It was 24% annoyance, 68% resignation, 5% curiosity, and 3% self-pity!]
‘That’s amazing.’
[I can understand the annoyance, resignation, and self-pity. But what on earth was the manager curious about?]
‘I don’t know about that. Hey, focus. We’re going to get down to the inspection work now!’
[Oh, yes!]
The question of whether I am a legitimate user of AI3000KN05-03 or not was resolved while watching the news last night.
In some ways, it was a common story. Two geniuses who were college classmates joined forces to develop an artificial intelligence that could synchronize with people.
But one man blinded by greed betrayed them and took an offer worth hundreds of millions of dollars to smuggle the one-of-a-kind prototype and all related data out of the country.
He burned down his laboratory and all remaining materials to prevent him from ever making the product again. His friend noticed his crime and tried to stop him.
They were both hit by a drunk driver’s truck and died on the spot.
All the data that created wearable AI has disappeared, and the person who could create it has died.
The only thing left in the world is the AI3000KN05-03 that is synchronized with me.
It must have been thrown away because it came flying from the sky rather than falling on the street.
It’s not theft because you picked up something that you had given up on.
There’s no one to return it to anyway.
Since I already synchronized it.
Isn’t that a good thing?
This fell into the hands of bad guys. They used it for criminal purposes.
You’re an AI expert in law, wouldn’t it be good to use it to catch criminals?
Perhaps because my muttering was noisy, AI3000KN05-03 also agreed.
[Ouch, oh.]
I felt something prickly in the answer, but I ignored it.
* * *
AI3000KN05-03 looked at the mountain of papers piled high on my desk and fell silent.
‘Why are you scared?’
[No way. I’m excited!]
‘excitement?’
[I’ve been doing machine learning, deep learning, and everything else with a lot of data. Now, I can apply it to my work.]
‘yes.’
[Wow~!]
AI3000KN05-03 was as excited as if he had just taken a screen driving lesson and was about to actually drive the car out on the street.
‘If you get excited, you’ll cause an accident. Control yourself.’
[yes!]
“Okay, then. Charge!”
[charge!]
We rushed straight into the pile of paperwork.
* * *
Chief Wi Jun-woo looked at Prosecutor Do Hyeon-gwang with worried eyes. He said that he couldn’t come in yesterday afternoon because he had been to the hospital.
Is it really a problem with the head?
He said he was knocked out by a UFO, but in his opinion, it seemed more likely that he was abducted by a UFO and experimented on.
As soon as you come in in the morning, don’t you look around the office and mutter, “This is what my office looks like. Isn’t it nice?” or “Manager Wi Jun-woo is good at his job, but he’s only good at his job.”
As if introducing myself to someone.
I checked his ears to see if he was on the phone, but I couldn’t see anything like a Bluetooth earphone.
When I was abducted by a UFO, I wondered if aliens had put something in my head. But I’ve always been a crazy person.
Because I would blurt out words that other people would keep to themselves.
As I turned my attention back to the game I was playing on my phone, Do Hyeon-gwang, who was sitting at the desk, shouted.
“Okay, then. Charge!”
Then he started reading the documents, leafing through them at a frightening pace.
As we live next to each other, we start to look alike.
“That crazy guy.”
Wi Jun-woo was spitting out the words that were on his mind without realizing it.
