The Ultimate Inspector, Kang Ji-hyeok - Chapter 66



Only Noblemtl

From the beginning of the trial, attorney Kim Ji-hoon began his defense actively.

“Your Honor, if Mr. Choi Jin-cheol had tried to kill Ms. Ha Su-yeon himself, there would have been many other ways.”

He walked up to the witness stand and began his defense with a serious face.

‘Yeah. That’s what a lawyer should do. Now he’s acting like a lawyer.’

I was secretly delighted by Kim Ji-hoon’s active defense.

This signal was, as I thought, evidence that Jincheol Choi was the key figure in the incident.

If he were just a peripheral figure, there would be no way that Kim Ji-hoon would suddenly focus on his defense.

“There are probably many ways to kill someone without being detected. But isn’t it stranger to try to kill someone in a crowded place like this?”

The judge thought for a moment, then looked at the witness and asked again.

“Witness. Then, why did you do that?”

“I wanted to see her. I wanted to see her one more time before we broke up, but when I saw her face in person, I suddenly felt resentful. So······.”

Jincheol Choi seemed to have completely changed his character for this trial.

“I was wrong. I am reflecting on it. No matter how angry I was, I should have held back, but I······. Ugh.”

He fell to the witness stand and expressed his sorrow vocally.

I was appalled by the sight.

Attorney Kim Ji-hoon stood up from his seat, digging into that moment.

All eyes in the courtroom were focused on him.

He looked at the judge and admitted Choi Jin-cheol’s guilt in a calm voice.

“Your Honor. We, the defendants, acknowledge the accidental murder of Ha Su-yeon. And please take into consideration the fact that Choi Jin-cheol, who was unknowingly involved in the illegal overseas organ trafficking by Gunja Human Resources Office and Sae-saeng-myeong Hospital, was used as a piece on the chessboard.”

Jincheol Choi also stood up from his seat, bowed his head, and spoke.

“I was wrong. First, I would like to sincerely apologize to Ha Soo-yeon who passed away. Also, I just did as President In-ja-geon told me to and took people to Southeast Asia and got lost. I didn’t know it was such a scary thing.”

The judge covered the documents and looked at me as the defendant reflected and admitted his guilt.

“What about the prosecution? The defense side has admitted to murdering Ha Su-yeon and being used for organ trafficking.”

I put down the evidence I was holding and closed my eyes for a moment.

‘Is this how you’re going to come out? You dare to bypass me, the prosecutor, and go to court and get the minimum sentence according to your will?’

“You guys are having fun.”

I covered my mouth with the papers and whispered.

chuck.

He turned his head and asked the witness.

“So, the witness wanted to see Ha Su-yeon at least once, so he called her to Gunja Station, and when he saw her, he accidentally pushed her?”

“Yes.”

Jincheol Choi answered calmly, as if reflecting.

I made eye contact with the audience.

At the end, he made eye contact with the judge.

“The prosecution does not think so. In fact, Choi Jin-cheol was not called to Gunja Station to kill Ha Soo-yeon. There are two reasons.”

I raised my voice and said, raising one finger.

“The first is precisely because of this.”

Beep.

A cell phone appeared on the screen.

It was a beautifully decorated cell phone with the latest trendy beads.

Anyone could tell that it was a woman’s cell phone.

“This is Ha Su-yeon’s cell phone. It was an item of evidence that disappeared from the scene, and the results of the search and seizure showed that Choi Jin-cheol stole it from Ha Su-yeon, who was unconscious at the time of the incident. He didn’t report it and was only focused on stealing this cell phone.”

“No. I just took Sooyeon’s cell phone with me. I was afraid she might lose it in the ambulance.”

“You must have been out of your mind because you accidentally pushed your girlfriend, and you even thought of something like that? I just can’t understand it.”

Jincheol Choi was unable to answer for a moment.

The courtroom became so quiet that you could hear eyeballs rolling.

At this point, a decisive piece of evidence was revealed.

“I will show you why the defendant tried to steal Ha Soo-yeon’s cell phone by committing terrorism against her.”

Beep.

The Orange Talk conversation between Ha Soo-yeon and Choi Jin-cheol has surfaced.

Ha Soo-yeon was asking Choi Jin-cheol why he went abroad with another woman.

Jincheol Choi said no.

A few days later, the woman who went with him was reported missing and I asked her what was going on.

Jincheol Choi was insisting that it wasn’t like that.

It was written that Ha Su-yeon called the Gunja Human Resources Office to ask about Choi Jin-cheol, and the person on the phone asked if she was calling about organ trafficking.

A commotion.

The audience members were shocked and stirred by the conversation.

Beep.

In another Orange Talk conversation, Ha Soo-yeon said that she went to the hospital just in case and saw Choi Jin-cheol consulting about organ transplant.

There were also questions asking whether the missing woman had anything to do with organ transplants.

It was written that Ha Soo-yeon was too scared of Choi Jin-cheol to meet him and that they should break up.

Jincheol Choi said that it wasn’t true, that it was a joke by an employee at the human resources office, and that they should go and talk about it together.

“As you can see from the contents of this message, Jincheol Choi told me to come to Gunja Station and check with the Gunja Human Resources Office.”

Beep.

In the CCTV footage, Ha Su-yeon was seen turning her head to the right and looking up as she climbed the stairs.

“While watching this video, I was wondering, why is Ha Soo-yeon turning her head to look over there?”

Beep.

The video footage taken with a camera attached to my head was released as evidence.

“So I took the video from the same angle and height as Ha Soo-yeon. Where do you think she’s looking?”

‘Gunja Human Resources Office’.

It was a clearly visible sign.

“She came up the stairs while looking at the Gunja Human Resources Office. In other words, Ha Soo-yeon went there with Choi Jin-cheol just as Orange Talk said.”

Beep.

Then, CCTV footage emerged of Choi Jin-cheol running down the stairs in a hurry, and the sound of something rolling was heard.

“Whoa.”

Some of the audience members shouted in surprise.

I said, shaking my cell phone as evidence.

“Yes. The Orange Talk in this phone contained details of Choi Jin-cheol’s crimes.”

Jincheol Choi was biting his lower lip.

I approached him.

“In fact, the investigation may not have been conducted properly with this level of chat content. No, Ha Soo-yeon may have just been suspicious. Otherwise, she would have reported it in the first place.”

The judge’s face hardened.

He was frowning and staring seriously at the large screen where the evidence was being presented.

“But Choi Jin-cheol must have been scared. He must have felt that Ha Soo-yeon knew all about his crimes. He must have felt psychological pressure.”

I walked up to the witness stand, glared at Choi Jin-cheol, and spoke in a louder voice.

“The second reason! I was more shocked by that reason!”

Beep.

When I pressed the remote control, several physical examination documents and photos appeared.

These were a few pictures of a ruptured liver.

“The daughter of a famous politician. This is Lee Jung-X. She suffered severe liver damage in a car accident a few months ago. Unfortunately, she passed away two weeks ago.”

Kim Ji-hoon stood up and raised an objection.

“Your Honor, this case has nothing to do with Jincheol Choi.”

“Prosecution. It doesn’t seem to matter to me either.”

This time, the judge also supported the defense’s argument.

I continued the story decisively.

Beep.

A photo from the phone appeared on the evidence screen.

It was a photo with the words ‘Health Checkup Results – Gangnam Heo Hospital-‘ written on it.

“After meeting Ha Su-yeon, Jin-cheol Choi gave her a health checkup at Gangnam Heo Hospital to commemorate the 100th day.”

Beep.

The Orange Talk conversation between Ha Soo-yeon and Choi Jin-cheol has been revealed.

So, that message was three years ago.

“While doing forensics, we found Orange Talk messages and deleted photos from three years ago.”

[Thank you for the health checkup to commemorate 100 days of confession. ♥ You are special after all.♥♥]

It was something I was truly grateful for.

Kim Ji-hoon raised an objection again with a dumbfounded expression.

“Why are you presenting evidence that Choi Jin-cheol loved Ha Soo-yeon? Prosecutors, stop playing around with cell phone forensics!”

The judge asked after looking at the conversation.

“Prosecutors, what are you talking about? I don’t understand.”

That’s what I was aiming for.

If you show it to this extent, neither the judge nor the lawyer will be able to understand why it is like this.

“I couldn’t understand how Jincheol Choi, who made money by making countless people disappear, killing them, and selling their organs, could have loved anyone.”

Beep.

A doctor appeared on the screen.

“So I showed this health record to my secretary’s boyfriend, who is also a doctor. What he told me was shocking. Listen.”

Choi Jin-cheol’s face turned ashen.

The doctor on the evidence screen spoke with a bewildered expression.

– This is a health checkup form, but the back is a bit strange. This is the information that is checked when transplanting organs. So, this person’s liver or heart, etc. are the information that is needed when transplanting organs from another person.

– Do you perform these tests in normal circumstances?

– I never do it. It costs money and I don’t do it. Why would a normal person do this kind of test?

Beep.

The video stopped there.

“Surprisingly, Ha Soo-yeon, the daughter of a famous politician, is a 99.9% match as the liver transplant donor for Lee Jung-X.”

The judge stood up from his seat and spoke with a surprised look on his face.

“Really? The prosecution is now······.”

This was a very unusual occurrence during a trial.

I continued my story while looking at the judge.

“Yes. The second vicious reason is that they wanted to use Ha Soo-yeon as a liver transplant donor.”

Beep.

CCTV footage showed an ambulance from Saengmyeong Hospital approaching the exit of Gunja Station.

“This video was taken 3 minutes after the 119 rescue team picked up Ha Su-yeon after a report from a civilian.”

I turned my head and spoke to Choi Jin-cheol, who was bowing his head.

“If a civilian had not reported it, it would have been the ambulance from Sae-myeong Hospital, not the 119 rescue team, that would have taken Ha-su-yeon away.”

The judge’s mouth was slightly open in surprise.

I approached her and gave her my conclusion.

“Perhaps, Ms. Ha Soo-yeon was declared dead at Sae-myeong Hospital that day, and her liver was donated to Ms. Lee Jung-X, the daughter of a famous politician, based on a fake signed organ transplant donation document.”

“Your Honor! The prosecutor is now speaking as if his thoughts were facts without any evidence!”

Beep.

Instead of answering the lawyer, I brought up the evidence on the screen.

It was a deposit account of the Gunja Human Resources Office.

“The deposit of 20 million won was deposited in the name of Mr. Lee Jeong-X’s uncle at the Gunja Human Resources Office. As you can see from the time, it was one minute after the incident occurred.”

Beep.

After the incident, a video of Choi Jin-cheol walking up to the entrance and looking at the military personnel office and making a phone call was seen.

Both calls were brief and he hung up.

The CCTV had a time stamp.

“In this video, Choi Jin-cheol makes two phone calls. I think it was to Sae-saeng-myeong Hospital and Gunja Human Resources Office. Now that the incident is over, he probably wants to proceed as planned.”

“Your Honor. If what the prosecutor said is true, then it doesn’t make sense to explain to both sides in such a short amount of time, right?”

Attorney Kim Ji-hoon pointed out the problems with the video relatively sharply.

But that actually gave me an opportunity for confirmation.

“That’s right. That short phone call proves that it was a well-planned plan. If you had planned an organ transplant after the accident, you would have had to have a long phone call to explain it to both parties.”

Beep.

The screen returned to the original KakaoTalk conversation scene.

“He planned to steal the cell phone while also planning to transplant Ha Su-yeon’s liver. This can only be described as extremely planned and vicious.”

The judge turned on the microphone with a shocked face and spoke quietly.

“We will now take a 30-minute break.”

She staggered out of the courtroom with support to rest.

I passed by Jincheol Choi and spoke loud enough for only him to hear.

“Choi Jin-cheol. In 30 minutes, I’ll strip you completely naked. You can look forward to it, you devil bastard.”
