The Ultimate Inspector, Kang Ji-hyeok - Chapter 60



Only Noblemtl

Episode 60

I told Chief Prosecutor Lee Cheol-jung what we have investigated so far.

Even veteran Chief Prosecutor Lee Cheol-jung was surprised by the story of the Mekong River disappearances he heard from Lee Myung-cheol.

“Hmm. Was it that big of an incident?”

“Yes.”

It’s a sad story, but it was also an operation to get into the special forces and complete my revenge.

“Should we drag the organ trafficking ring all the way to the hospital?”

“Yes. It is difficult to dig into it with only the power of the Western District Prosecutors’ Office.”

Chief Prosecutor Lee Cheol-joong stubbed out his cigarette in the ashtray.

I could feel the worry at my fingertips.

“Father. No, Chief Prosecutor. If we take on this case with only the Western District Prosecutors’ Office’s power, we will incur the hatred of the Special Investigation Division.”

“If you look at the past cases, they were special-level cases, but the Western District Prosecutors’ Office handled them alone.”

“It was possible because he was Chief Prosecutor Choi Hye-seong. He risked his life to fight his superiors. No, it would be more correct to say that he fought to take off his clothes in style.”

Chief Prosecutor Lee Cheol-joong was different from Choi Hye-seong, who wanted to become a star.

He was a prosecutor who worked for the people.

This is an extremely rare inspection.

Because of that, I got caught in a trap, suffered humiliation, and even had to take off my clothes, but now I’m out of that situation.

“The world needs prosecutors like you. That’s why I don’t want to pressure the Western District Prosecutors’ Office with this matter.”

“As Prosecutor General Choi Hye-sung, I would like to have the image of eradicating another great evil, so I will hand it over to the special department?”

“Yes. Instead, I have decided to take over the investigative and prosecutorial powers.”

Chief Prosecutor Lee Cheol-jung looked at me quietly and then opened his mouth heavily.

“Mr. Ji-hyeok.”

“Yes, Father.”

I had a gut feeling that this was the moment I had to answer like that.

“I’ve been watching you for a long time. You’ve grown up well, from the guy who used to be like Thunderbolt.”

“thank you.”

“I was a bit surprised when he entered Korea University last time, but I never thought he would become such an amazing person.”

“It’s just the beginning. I want to destroy a higher evil, Father.”

Sehee’s father.

He was a master craftsman to me.

Chief Prosecutor Lee Cheol-jung.

I ignored him when he was a detective, but I could understand it after he was demoted and caught in a trap.

He was entangled in corruption, and in fact he could have gotten out of it somehow.

But instead of lingering in the same place, he took off his clothes.

He was like the philosopher who said, ‘Even a bad law is a law.’

I didn’t know it then, but as I worked as a prosecutor, I came to understand my father-in-law’s feelings.

The opportunity came for the one who judges by the law to become a lawbreaker before the law, but he did not do so.

A respectable adult.

Unlike before, I came to truly respect him.

‘It was an honor for me that the Chief Prosecutor was once my father-in-law.’

I said that in my mind.

“I understand, Prosecutor Kang. The Prosecutor’s Office is an independent organization in its own right. Do as you wish. As I said when I took office, I will respect the work of the prosecutors here.”

Chief Prosecutor Lee Cheol-jung said so.

He handed over full authority to a prosecutor who had only been in his second year.

“Thank you, Chief Inspector.”

I got up from my seat and bowed my head to him.

The clock in the prosecutor’s office said three o’clock in the afternoon.

The special unit will brief the head office on this case in 30 minutes.

Chief Prosecutor Lee Cheol-jung smiled.

“Prosecutor Kang. The court just issued a search and seizure warrant and an arrest warrant for Choi Jin-cheol’s house, the human resources office, and Sae-saeng-myeong Hospital.”

“Thank you, Chief Inspector.”

I ran to the scene.

Ji-cheol went to Choi Jin-cheol’s house to search and seize, and Hye-jin went to the hospital.

“Search every nook and cranny of Choi Jin-cheol’s house and find him. Even if you destroy everything, it’s okay. The district attorney’s office will compensate you for the damages. If the district attorney’s office doesn’t pay, I’ll pay with my own money, so don’t worry.”

“Yes? Is that okay?”

“Okay. If that doesn’t work out, I’ll buy that house. I have a lot of money. Don’t worry, I’ll take it all.”

“Yes! Then I will strip you of everything.”

Ji-cheol set off with a cheerful expression on his face.

“Hyejin is the same. We need to start by raiding the hospital server room. The hospital server room will be very strict because there is a lot of personal information, but we have to break into it no matter what.”

“I knew this would happen, so I asked the Cyber ​​Investigation Unit of the National Police Agency to do the work.”

“As expected, Hyejin is shining more and more as an investigator. I like her.”

“Don’t worry. I’ll tell you everything.”

“okay.”

“Be careful. Usually, those kinds of human resources offices are gangster groups······.”

“Are you worried about me?”

“No. I’m a little worried that the guys at the human resources office might get in trouble with the inspector for no reason.”

“Wow, you’re good at joking too?”

Hyejin and Jicheol were each sent to a search and seizure location that suited them.

And then I headed to the military personnel office near the scene of the incident.

When we arrived, the police had already blocked the entrance.

“This is Kang Ji-hyeok, prosecutor of the Western District Prosecutors’ Office. As of this time, this office will begin a search and seizure.”

While I was talking and showing him the warrant, one of the hidden gangsters jumped out.

He was so close to me that even the police couldn’t do anything to him.

“What the heck? You little punk. On this piece of paper······.”

The gangster grabbed my hand as if he was going to stamp a warrant.

Kuk.

I grabbed the guy’s thumb and turned it around.

Bam! Bam!

The sound of bones breaking and ligaments snapping echoed through the narrow hallway.

“How dare a gangster like me touch something?”

Kwak.

He kicked the gangster’s ankle with his foot.

Keep going until your bones break.

“Kyaaaaah! Stop! Stop it!”

The gangster shouted, spittle flying from his mouth.

“I can’t hear you very well. Speak up, you punk.”

Woodduck.

His ankle was shattered and he fell forward.

Sneak.

I dodged.

Kuung!

The heavy gangster fell to the ground and slumped. I turned my head and spoke with a cold face.

“You are to be summarily executed for obstructing the work of a prosecutor. Arrest this pig.”

“Okay, I understand.”

Only then did the police put handcuffs on the man’s arms.

“Ah, it hurts. My fingers, starting with my fingers······.”

I stepped on the thumb of the shouting gangster again.

“Kwaaaaak!”

The sound of a pig being slapped echoed through the hallway.

I said, glaring at the police.

“This is an order. Don’t take him to the hospital. Put him in the detention center first.”

“All right.”

The police dragged the suffering man out with cool faces.

I said one more thing to the guy from behind.

“Learn how serious the crime of obstructing legitimate public authority is, you punk. Where did you dare to stand up to the police and prosecutors? Are you going to get your ass kicked?”

The police officers’ eyes changed.

“If the door is locked, just break it down! I’ll take full responsibility!”

The detectives who had arrived earlier broke down the door and went inside with excited faces.

Wow!

I could hear the sound of the gangsters rushing in.

I shouted so they could all hear.

“I, as the inspector, will take full responsibility, so you can do whatever you want. I will make any actions that result in obstruction of business legal.”

How often did I want to hear these words from prosecutors when I was a detective?

To be honest, throughout the investigation, I just wished I had met just one prosecutor who would trust me and let me do whatever I wanted.

For example, when you can’t break down a locked door during a search and seizure, or when you try to avoid hurting a criminal who rushes in with an arrest warrant.

If the inspector had arrested us by shooting us, we would have been dealt with safely without getting stabbed here and there.

‘That’s the kind of great prosecutor I am. He’s the one who knows that mind the best. I’m sure the police will hear about it from now on. If you work with Prosecutor Kang Ji-hyeok, you’ll be able to work comfortably······.’

That kind of fame was needed.

Anyway, the police are the ones in charge of the investigation.

If I had an ace detective working for me on every case, it would be great.

Prosecutors and detectives have a symbiotic relationship.

There is no need to argue about who is the crocodile and who is the crocodile bird.

Because the crocodile would be the one to bite off the bad guy’s calf first.

Swish.

The CCTV above the hallway was flashing a red light.

“First, secure all the CCTV footage. Let’s go in quickly!”

“all right.”

The police rushed through the door that the detectives had broken down.

I stood in the hallway and looked at them.

Wow!

A gangster fell from the second floor to the first floor.

Sigh.

I look at the trembling guy with a smile.

‘I hope I don’t die, but at least get paralyzed from the waist down. You gangsters.’

I shouted, thinking so.

“Don’t call 119. Take him to the detention center first. Call 119 from there.”

“All right.”

As the police approached the gangster who had fallen to the ground and began handcuffing him, the gathered citizens clapped and cheered.

The gangster in pain shouted for an ambulance.

“Shut up. Shut up. You were caught red-handed trying to assault a police officer!”

Quaak.

Citizens gathered around the police officer who handcuffed the man and pressed his knee into his mouth.

He took out his cell phone and filmed himself being arrested in the act.

The video of this incident will probably be circulated on social media.

Police arresting a scary gangster.

We need videos like this.

I had to let the world know.

This shows that the prosecution and police are actively arresting bad guys for the sake of the people.

In a world dominated by social media, a single video has more impact than a hundred words or explanations.

“Good job! We shouldn’t let those bad guys go to the hospital!”

“Just throw him in jail. That’s the punishment that bullies deserve!”

When the police did the right thing, only then did the citizens start pointing fingers at them and cursing them.

‘This is public power. What the people of this country want from public power is not human rights. It is punishment where those who commit crimes in front of our eyes are punished. In the Republic of Korea, that comes first.’

So all three places I wanted to search and seize were completed.

In this human resources office, five other gangsters were locked up in the detention center along with him.

Two of them were injured.

On the way back in the car, the detective asked me.

“What should we do with the injured guys? They probably need to go to the hospital······.”

“No. Put him in a detention center. Then bring a doctor from a nearby hospital. Legally, he can be treated directly in the detention center.”

Shh.

The detective laughed pleasantly.

“Loyalty! I will do so. Prosecutor Kang Ji-hyeok.”

“First, give me the Western District Prosecutor’s Office.”

“All right.”

A police car carrying people groaning in pain stopped by the Western District Prosecutors’ Office and then returned.

“You punks. Even if it hurts, you have to grit your teeth and bear it. Don’t whine. Even if you lose an arm, you have to rub it on the floor to stop the bleeding, like a gangster.”

I returned to the office muttering like that. I knew I had a ton of work to do from now on.

“Officer Lee Hyun-ah. We will now begin the detention investigation. Please apply for an arrest warrant for Choi Jin-cheol, the hospital director, and all of the personnel office employees who were arrested today.”

“Can I do it for the reasons in the report?”

“Yes, that’s right. It’s an arrest warrant for an illegal organ trafficking organization.”

“All right.”

I returned to the examination room and sat down on the sofa.

An iced Americano was on the table.

It’s perfect for drinking right when you get there.

“As expected, Lee Hyun-ah. She’s the best.”

The seized materials were organized and started coming in one by one. Our prosecutor’s office was filled with boxes.

* * *

Click.

I saw the special forces announcement made this afternoon late at night.

The strongest prosecutor personally briefed.

– This case began with an investigation by Prosecutor Kang Ji-hyeok of the Western District Prosecutors’ Office, who was trying to clear the name of Han Su-yeon, who was hit at Gunja Station on the subway and is currently unconscious.

“Did you manage to solve it well? As expected, the special prosecutors are smart.”

It was an announcement that appropriately excited the public by showing what needed to be shown and hiding what needed to be hidden.

– Since our special prosecution department has taken over this case, we will thoroughly investigate it. Citizens, please trust and wait.

It was good until the end.

* * *

The next day, an arrest warrant was issued.

Kim Hye-jin and Kim Ji-cheol went out together to catch key criminals according to arrest warrants.

Wheein.

After they left, a message came into my phone.

[Kang Ji-hyeok. You asked me something big this time too? It was a very good choice to hand it over to the special forces.]

It was Prosecutor General Choi Hye-sung.

I smiled and took a sip of my iced Americano.

‘Sir, I’ll raise you enough to make the special forces excited. You’ll be thrilled.’

Wheein.

After about two hours, I received a call from Kim Ji-cheol.

– Inspector. We have arrested Choi Jin-cheol. Was this kid preparing to run away overseas? We caught him at Incheon Airport. We will take him to the interrogation room right away.

“Yes. Bring him in carefully. He is a valuable person in that industry, so bring him in carefully so that he doesn’t get hurt. Handcuff him well.”
