Episode 8 People are really strange
“You said you were going to indict him a little while ago, but are you sure it’s him?”
Congressman Baek Cheon-soo asked again as if receiving a promise.
“Yes, that’s for sure.”
“The police were worried that he didn’t confess.”
“There’s no need for a confession. I have evidence.”
“That’s strange. The police said there was no direct evidence that the car hit our child.”
He said he was very nervous about the granddaughter’s case, but it seemed like he had already stopped by the police station and heard the details of the case.
It seemed that it would be impossible to reassure Rep. Baek with words like, “We will indict you, we will arrest you and put you in jail.”
“Don’t worry. There are signs that the car has been repaired.”
“Does that mean there’s absolutely no evidence from the car about this accident?”
“It is certainly suspicious that repairs were made after an accident.”
“Hey, it won’t work based on the circumstances. What if they say it was repaired for some other reason?”
Na Kang-jin swallowed hard and tried to shake off his nervousness, feeling as if he was being interrogated.
“Crucially, the signal from that guy’s cell phone was also picked up near the scene of the accident.”
“Isn’t that all circumstantial evidence? It has to prove that there was a person, not just a cell phone. This, yeah.”
Na Kang-jin blinked his eyes.
‘Are you the other side’s lawyer?’
That’s all true, but it hit the nail on the head, and I broke out in a cold sweat. I came here to explain the case and I saw him struggling like this. And in front of the chief of police!
I glanced at him briefly, but the chief of the branch office had a blank expression the whole time. I couldn’t tell what he was thinking. And, Chief Jang Gi-tae.
‘Why are you doing that?’
Manager Jang Gi-tae, who was looking at his cell phone, muttered something with a blank expression and shook his head vigorously.
Congressman Baek Cheon-soo, who noticed that Na Kang-jin’s attention was elsewhere, asked in a displeased tone.
“You said all you had to do was find the black box chip, but I guess you couldn’t find it?”
“Don’t worry about that. Even without that, the prosecution can proceed.”
Meanwhile, Chief Jang Gi-tae was trying hard to calm his mind.
Where is this? It’s the office of the local mayor. It’s not some random neighborhood real estate agent that you can just drop by, it’s the office of the local mayor.
Even though this was a small branch office, it was not a place where a prosecutor could barge in without an appointment.
Ah, no, I don’t think so.
no way.
Even if he is a total idiot, why would he come to the mayor’s office for any business?
‘If I were a man with a sense of humor, I wouldn’t be able to just come in. Really?’
But soon, he remembered that the swordsman was a thoughtless guy and suddenly became anxious.
At that moment, there was a commotion outside the door.
Secretary Kim’s urgent voice could be heard through the door.
“Oh, you can’t go in.”
“are you okay.”
“There are guests inside.”
“Hey, it would be nice if we could all meet at once and save time.”
“Huh? Huh?”
There was a sound like something was being pushed.
bang-!
The door to the branch manager’s office was blown wide open.
Secretary Kim was holding onto the hem of Do Hyeon-gwang’s clothes as he walked in briskly, but it seemed like she was not stopping him but rather dragging him along.
Chief Jang Gi-tae was shocked when he saw the sight.
‘No, you came rushing into the branch manager’s office without me even calling you? And there’s a guest here too? You’re not crazy.’
Oh, he’s crazy.
As Chief Jang Gi-tae nodded in realization, Do Hyeon-gwang smiled broadly and shouted.
“Sir! Please issue an arrest warrant for the hit-and-run driver!”
Chief Park Seong-min, who had been maintaining his composure until now, frowned.
“Who are you?”
Who the hell dares to kick down my office door and barge in?
“Hello, Chief.”
Do Hyeon-gwang waved his hand brightly.
Na Kang-jin looked at him with his mouth wide open.
‘What the hell is that son of a bitch doing? Do you know who’s here?’
Manager Jang Gi-tae, who was sitting in his seat, quickly made the introduction on his behalf.
“I’m prosecuting Do Hyeon-gwang, Chief.”
“Do Hyeon-gwang?”
“I’m the youngest detective in our 3rd detective division. I’ve only been a detective for 7 months.”
Chief Jang Gi-tae made an excuse while bowing in place of Do Hyeon-gwang, especially emphasizing that it was ‘7 months’.
‘That guy is acting like a fool because he’s still a rookie!’
Chief Park Sung-min nodded to Secretary Kim, who was standing behind him without saying anything. It was okay, so he told him to go out.
Secretary Kim, whose once neat hair had become much more disheveled, bowed deeply with an apologetic expression, then closed the door and left.
“First, come here and sit down.”
There were more things he wanted to ask, but Park Sung-min, the branch chief, swallowed his words. He didn’t want to show the Gunnae-myeon branch office as a bean curd branch office in front of Assemblyman Baek Cheon-su.
Do Hyeon-gwang, who was sitting down, smiled and waved at Baek Cheon-su.
“Are you Assemblyman Baek Cheon-soo? I saw you on the news last time you were being investigated for violating the Public Official Election Act.”
“ah.”
“I heard you were fined 800,000 won. Fortunately, you kept your seat in the National Assembly.”
“… … .”
With the sole intention of quickly shutting that bastard’s mouth, Chief Jang Gi-tae grabbed his arm and asked a question.
“What’s going on here? You came here all of a sudden without even contacting the head of the office. Huh? There’s a guest here too.”
“I went to my senior’s office and they said everyone was here. Manager, please issue an arrest warrant for the high school girl hit-and-run suspect!”
“What are you talking about? The hit-and-run driver is already under investigation.”
While answering, Director Jang Gi-tae furtively looked at Assemblyman Baek Cheon-su’s expression. Although he was his subordinate, he was a guy who was embarrassing to show off.
“Not that guy. We need to catch the real culprit.”
At the words, “the real culprit,” Rep. Baek Cheon-soo, who had been trembling until then, turned his head.
“Did you just say he’s the real culprit?”
“yes.”
“Prosecutor Na Kang-jin said that he will soon indict the hit-and-run driver who is currently under investigation.”
“Hey, that’s not him. I told you the real culprit is someone else.”
Everyone looked at Na Kang-jin and Do Hyeon-gwang alternately. One said that the criminal they had already caught would be indicted tomorrow, and the other said that the real criminal was someone else.
Congressman Baek Cheon-soo opened his mouth.
“You said your name was Do Hyeon-gwang?”
Confirming his name meant that he was taking responsibility for this situation. If he was right, he would be rewarded, but if he was wrong, he could be held accountable.
“yes.”
“Okay, what evidence is there that there’s a real culprit?”
Do Hyeon-gwang took something out of his pocket and placed it on the table.
“This is it!”
Inside the evidence plastic bag on the table was a black chip.

Moon Sung-yoon’s girlfriend, Lim Hee-sun, started the car.
Vroom.
A small tremor spread through the body along with the engine noise.
It starts with the push of a button. Yes, gum.
Okay. I’ll go and see.
While Moon Seong-yoon was sleeping, he secretly took the car keys that were left on the shoe rack.
How can he be so boastful that he’s the only one who knows how to drive?
What’s difficult about driving? You just press the accelerator to go, and press the brake to stop.
The handle is something even three or four year olds can move.
What’s the big deal about having a driver’s license?
That’s because I haven’t taken the test yet. How can I not drive after seeing so much from the side?
As I slowly stepped on the accelerator, the car started to move.
…
“Hehehehe.”
I couldn’t help but laugh. I had been driving this big car for over 20 minutes already.
Sometimes the cars next to me would roll down their windows and honk their horns. But that’s probably because they were driving without manners.
Just go to the blue light and stand at the red light. What’s there to be excited about?
Ring ring ring.
“Oh, that’s a surprise.”
I glanced to the side and saw the light of a cell phone blinking in the gap between the passenger seat backrest. Perhaps Moon Seong-yoon had left his cell phone behind.
‘That’s good. If my cell phone was at home, my brother might have woken up to the ringtone.’
Lim Hee-seon turned the steering wheel with a snicker. The car now entered a quiet road.
A road adjacent to a mountain.
Of course, a drive needs to have a song.
Oppa, what song was in your car?
Should I turn on the radio?
What should I press?
Let’s see, this is an air conditioner, and this is… … .
bang-!
Lim Hee-seon pressed the brake hard without realizing it. The impact was so strong that her neck snapped back.
What is it? What did you hit?
no way……?
No, that won’t happen.
With trembling hands, she put the gear into P and slowly opened the door. Her heart felt like it was going to burst out of her mouth.
The moment I carefully turned around in front of the car.
“omg!”
I took a deep breath without realizing it. I could see her bloody legs under her school uniform skirt.
Feeling dizzy for a moment, she placed her hand on the bonnet. Then she looked around.
None, nobody.
Lim Hee-seon, who had backed out and gotten back into the car, started to drive away. But soon something occurred to her.
“ah!”
Black box.
She bit her lip. She had to erase the black box chip. She turned her head and saw a mountain path adjacent to the road.
‘Yeah, if you go in there and bury it somewhere, no one will know.’
* * *
Chief Jang Gi-tae stopped the screen that was being played. The stopped screen showed the image of a woman standing with her hand on the bonnet.
A screen that vividly captures even the surprised facial expression.
“That damn bitch!”
Rep. Baek Cheon-soo clenched his fist as he lost control of his temper. It was a harsh remark from a four-term member of the National Assembly, but everyone understood because of the circumstances.
Isn’t that the person who hit his own granddaughter and ran away? Now that I’ve seen that face, it’s only natural that I can’t help but curse.
Chief Park Seong-min, who had been expressionless the whole time, blurted out.
“So that woman is the real culprit.”
“That, that can’t be true.”
Rep. Baek Cheon-soo opened his eyes wide at the words of the powerless Na Kang-jin.
“That can’t be true! There’s evidence like this here!”
“ah…….”
“Don’t worry, I’ll sue you, you’re just making a show out of it.”
Congressman Baek Cheon-soo, who had been clicking his tongue, grabbed my hand.
“Prosecutor Do! Prosecutor Do! Oh my, I just found out that there is such a talented person in the Gunnae-myeon branch office.”
“Hehehe.”
“Chief, how did you manage to hide such a talented person? No, it’s all your good fortune, Chief. It’s all your good fortune that such a talented person has come in.”
“Huh. Heh heh. That’s right.”
As Assemblyman Baek Cheon-soo smiled brightly and praised him, Chief Park Seong-min, who had been looking at Na Kang-jin for a moment, reluctantly smiled. A smile spread across the face of Chief Jang Gi-tae as he watched.
They say that if you laugh, good fortune will come, and it seems that good fortune has come and made me laugh.
[It’s me! It’s me! It’s because of me! It’s not a person, it’s a machine! It’s not a person who came to Gunnae-myeon, it’s a machine!]
The hologram shook its equation noisily.
At that time, Na Kang-jin, who had not yet figured out the situation, spat out.
“Sword, where did you get that? Did you get it illegally? The police searched everywhere but couldn’t find it, so how did you find it? Don’t you know that illegal acquisitions are not accepted as evidence?”
I was going to say something to the manager who was desperately trying to find fault with me, but the chief’s mouth was a little faster than mine.
“That doesn’t sound like something someone who was just trying to prosecute an innocent person would say.”
Na Kang-jin’s face turned pale and he shut his mouth. Assemblyman Baek Cheon-soo, who was glaring at him, said.
“You said you were Na Kang-jin, but I guess I should change my name. To Na Yak-jin. Not strong at all. No, it would be more appropriate to say Hu-jin, which means going backwards. Na Hu-jin.”
‘Wow, look at the lime. I thought it was Show Me The Money.’
“On the other hand, what about our prosecutor Do Hyeon-gwang? Hyeon-gwang! Doesn’t his name shine? Hahaha.”
Everyone thinks that the ‘Gwang’ in my name means ‘mad’. But this is the first time someone thought of it as ‘Gwang’ (光).
The branch manager asked me.
“Yes, Inspector Do. How did you find this evidence?”
“It was nothing. The bracken thief was a hit-and-run driver.”
“Bracken thief?”
“Yes. The neighborhood grandmother asked me to catch a bracken fern thief.”
Representative Baek Cheon-soo, who tilted his head for a moment, soon smiled brightly.
“Hahaha. As expected, talented people don’t neglect even a single incident.”
“Tell me more.”
“Yes, that’s why.”
As he was about to start speaking, Chief Jang Gi-tae spoke to Na Kang-jin, who was trembling with his fists clenched next to him.
“What are you doing? Why don’t you go and take a look?”
“yes?”
“We need to go and write an arrest warrant and a detention warrant.”
“ah.”
Chief Park Seong-min also added.
“Shi-mal… … No, write an internal report too. About the incident where an innocent citizen almost got indicted. The process of what happened, the measures to be taken going forward, and even the plan to eradicate it. In great detail.”
“……yes.”
Arrest warrant, detention warrant, and even an internal report.
I gave a thumbs up.
“That’s great. Our senior is really good at writing reports.”
People are so strange.
Why are you glaring when I’m praising you?
