There is no villain in my return 115

“A hero?”

“If we can do something like Cha Jeong-sik, why can’t you do it too?”

“I?”

“Yes. You said your dream is to live together with your wife and children? If you openly shoot Cha Jeong-sik, those guys won’t be able to approach him carelessly.”

When the story of his family was brought up, Ji Sung-goo was shaken.

Shinwoo’s gentle voice penetrated the gap.

“Think about what is more right: getting beaten up and barely getting a few pennies, or being an honorable person to your family. Which of the two is better?”

“I’ve exposed corruption so far, but there’s been no response?”

“Because there was no evidence.”

Shinwoo gradually stimulated his desire.

To manipulate him as he pleased, but not simply for that reason.

He received money, but his other life was a mess, full of drinking and gambling.

People won’t say, “Oh, well, that’s right,” when a shit-covered dog points its finger at a dog with bran on it.

What Shinwoo wants is for two dirty dogs to get together and fight.

“Hmm. Then what should I do?”

“You need to find people who can give you strength.”

The thought of the military judge offering money in exchange for evidence came to his mind.

I shivered as I recalled the scary atmosphere somewhere.

I never thought that the person right in front of me was the same person as Shinwoo.

“So what do you guys want?”

“We can get what we want by not letting you die. So don’t worry about it. Let’s watch the tape first.”

The medical records themselves are not that much evidence.

All there is is a bullet hole on the body where the grenade exploded.

“To explain the situation at that time, it was not long after North Korea’s military provocation. When North Korean soldiers crossed over, warnings were issued from higher-ups several times.”

Cha Jeong-sik returned to his unit after drinking with other officers.

Since he was going to leave soon anyway, I wasn’t really interested.

But that day, I went all the way to the border guard duty to look back.

“That son of a bitch, Cha Jeong-sik, who had never been on guard duty before, made a mistake.”

They mistook a soldier on guard duty on the other side for a North Korean soldier and shot him.

Two soldiers were killed by blind bullets.

“The video is what happened afterwards.”

Shinwoo played the tape.

As Ji Sung-goo said, this is footage from a surveillance camera at the front line.

It is designed to monitor beyond the barbed wire and can be seen up to 400 meters away even in the dark.

A light flashed in the empty room.

It was caused by a bullet fired nearby.

After a while, three soldiers came running out of breath.

Cha Jeong-sik, Ji Seong-gu, and lastly, Major Choi Min-ho.

Although no one could hear what was happening, Cha Jeong-sik and Choi Min-ho were clashing violently.

Ji Sung-goo was so drunk that his face turned red and he couldn’t say anything.

“Major Choi Min-ho was scared and tried to report to the military. They were on high alert, so radio transmissions were coming from all directions.”

“Cha Jeong-sik, the mastermind behind the gunshot accident, must have said that it was absolutely not allowed.”

“Because I didn’t want to ruin my career when I didn’t have much time left in the military. That guy had spread a lot of things here and there, saying he was going to get involved in politics.”

When Cha Jeong-sik grabbed Choi Min-ho, he roughly pushed him away and turned around.

The first time is always difficult, the second time is easy.

Cha Jeong-sik raised his gun and aimed it at the back of the head.

Sparks flew and Choi Minho’s head exploded, causing him to fall down.

Ji Sung-goo was so scared that he couldn’t say anything.

“Cha Jeong-sik told me to move the body if I didn’t want to die either.”

He carried Choi Min-ho’s body to where the soldiers were.

And he even committed the daring act of exploding a grenade to cover up the bullet marks.

“The grenade exploded under the military hat and the bodies. Twice, just in case.”

By destroying the evidence in this way, Cha Jeong-sik fabricated a confrontation with the North Korean military, even though he was not injured.

There, Choi Min-ho suddenly became a cripple who couldn’t even throw a single grenade properly.

“You were discharged from the military and ran away to the Philippines for fear of dying, too.”

“That’s because I couldn’t see Cha Jeong-sik’s eyes back then. He was completely… like an animal that had lost its humanity.”

He does not hesitate to do anything for his own purposes.

Ji Sung-goo took the money and left, promising never to return to Korea again.

“This is enough evidence to shake up the Cha Jeong-sik. For now, just rest.”

Shinwoo arranged for Jisunggoo to stay in a motel outside of Seoul and ordered Oh Cheolgi to keep watch over him.

Now that we have the evidence, we need to think about how to use it most effectively.

Blow it up alone?

That’s the least efficient way.

An unprepared disclosure may end up being a one-off.

They will try to cover up the incident with all sorts of issues and try to destroy the evidence while turning a blind eye.

Shinwoo also has no intention of exploding right now.

‘Because the higher you climb, the more you fall.’

The most frightening moment for an opponent is when a weapon-wielding enemy does nothing.

For now, it’s enough to just make you feel safe and sometimes anxious.

Ji Sung-goo went to see the military judge advocate with the evidence as ordered by Shin Woo.

They only took the medical records, leaving the tapes, which were the clear evidence, intact.

Shinwoo and Choi Kang-sung acted like they were seeing it for the first time.

“To this extent, we can sufficiently raise suspicions and proceed with the investigation.”

Choi Kang-seong looked through the medical records carefully.

Although it is a copy, there is no trace of forgery.

As I analyzed the autobiography, it matched the questions I had been wondering about.

I had a lot to say to Ji Sung-gu, but I held it back and looked at him carefully.

“Mr. Ji Sung-gu. Why are your legs like that? They were fine when I saw them at the bookstore last time.”

“I accidentally spilled some coffee while I was making it.”

“It’s too broad a scope to be called a mistake?”

“Does that matter now? I’ve handed over the evidence, so take a good look at it. It’s all real.”

A short preliminary investigation was completed in the morning.

Choi Kang-seong’s eyes are sharp as he watches Ji-seong-gu limping away.

“Ji Sung-goo. There’s something you’re hiding.”

“What do you mean?”

“It must be proof that he will protect his own life. Maybe even coming to us is just another way to threaten Cha Jeong-sik.”

He looked at it more coolly than usual.

The evidence he brought was enough to annoy Cha Jeong-sik, but it wasn’t enough to drag him down from his current position.

“It’s a piece of paper, so it can be resolved between conspiracy and forgery. Approach cautiously for now. It might be seen as the military playing around between the two.”

“all right.”

Contrary to his words of concern, Shinwoo has already made all his plans for the next step.

That evening, I met Choi Tae-young at a Japanese restaurant for the first time in a long time.

After becoming a prosecutor, he walks around with his neck upright wherever he goes, but not in front of Shinwoo.

After writing a promissory note and receiving 100 million won, I borrowed money twice more.

Since Shinwoo doesn’t say much, I just stay still.

“Hey. How’s life as a military prosecutor? Is it easy?”

“Compared to the Judicial Research and Training Institute, it’s a vacation.”

“You punk. Once you get into the prosecution, it’s hell. Hell.”

Shinwoo placed the order in advance.

As soon as he arrived, sashimi and sake were brought in.

The two of them shared a drink each.

“Ugh. It’s killing me. By the way, why did you suddenly ask to see me?”

“Surely, you can’t fool my brother.”

I just poked him lightly, but when Shinwoo reacted, he narrowed his eyes.

He wiggled his butt as if he would get up from his seat the moment the topic of money came up.

Shinwoo asked, hiding his laughter at such shallowness.

“Do you happen to know Cha Jeong-sik?”

“The mayor of Seoul? Why him?”

It is rare for a person to receive calls from both the ruling and opposition parties.

Cha Jeong-sik enjoys the most support from the neutrals, and he could run for president immediately after his term as Seoul mayor ends.

However, he is a cautious person because he has not yet decided on a precise political course.

“Actually, this time, we received an order from above to investigate Cha Jeong-sik. However, since he is such a big shot, it is difficult to move recklessly.”

“Really? Give me the data.”

As expected, there was interest.

Choi Tae-young also has no intention of continuing his career as a prosecutor for long.

He is trying to gain some fame and move to Yeouido.

To do that, pushing and pulling alone is not enough.

‘He’s dying to become a star inspector.’

As Shinwoo handed over the data, his expression changed several times as he looked at it.

It may get a lot of attention when asked, but it doesn’t have much of an impact later on.

“It’s a bit of a stretch. It’ll be hard to force anything with this.”

“Is that what you think, hyung?”

“Yes, of course. Unless there is more definitive evidence.”

Shinwoo sighed and scratched his head.

When I showed that there seemed to be something more, he showed interest as expected.

“What? Is there more?”

“The informant said there was a video. But the content is so absurd. It’s like a scene where Cha Jeong-sik shoots someone with a gun or something.”

As soon as he told the content of the video, Choi Tae-young put down the sashimi he was holding.

“Is that true? The image of the mayor of Seoul as a hero is all a lie…? No. This isn’t at that level.”

My pupils dilated and my breathing became rapid.

This is an event that could catch a big shot, especially a potential presidential candidate.

If you stand in the photo line and the newspaper covers a few times, it’s only a matter of time before you get star tested.

“Where is that informant? I’ll go and meet him.”

“Please calm down. Right now, it’s not easy to act rashly.”

The corps commander, who is aiming to become the next defense secretary, has ordered a show-off investigation.

If this leaks to the prosecution, there will definitely be pressure from within and without.

“Hmm. That’s right. He’s none other than the mayor of Seoul. Despite his melancholy appearance, he has his own strong cartel.”

Choi Tae-young filled Shinwoo’s and his own glasses with alcohol.

He put it in his mouth and started chewing the sashimi.

“But who are we? Aren’t we from Hankuk University Law School and Myungryun? Just wait a minute. I’ll contact my seniors directly.”

It did exactly what Shinwoo had intended.

The very next day, Shinwoo had another meeting with his seniors, Myungryun.

“Oh my, my juniors! It’s been a while!”

“Hello, sir.”

“What about the congressman? Just call me senior!”

The Japanese restaurant felt cramped for the members of Myungryun.

That would be the case, as there are Park Seok-jin and Na Dong-gu, prosecutors who Shin Woo knows well, as well as Choi Ki-yeol, who is currently an opposition party member.

He became a member of the National Assembly thanks to the power of the prosecution, but has had no notable achievements since then.

In particular, the person who caught Shinwoo’s attention was Kim Gwang-ho, the prosecutor who threatened members of the National Assembly and conglomerate heads, and now the chief prosecutor.

As their presence was gradually fading, they became impatient when asked about a big incident.

“Are you Kang Shin-woo?”

“Yes, that’s right, Inspector.”

“Tsk. What about the chief inspector? In a place like this, you can just call me senior.”

I patted Shinwoo’s shoulder as he bowed in greeting.

After a brief greeting, everyone just looked at each other.

I wanted to talk about Cha Jeong-sik, the reason I came here.

“Before we have a drink, let’s get this straight. Tell me about the evidence.”

“Yes, senior.”

Before coming here, Cuckoo Choi Tae-young had already given us a rough outline of the story.

What they are expecting is evidence that can definitely bring down the Cha Jeong-sik regime.

Shinwoo took out the tape while receiving everyone’s expectant gaze.

Everyone couldn’t take their eyes off the tape.

“Play it now.”

Choi Tae-young went out barefoot and brought the player he had prepared in advance.

Click – the tape was inserted with a sound and the video ended, and for 15 minutes no one said anything.

The first one to speak was Choi Ki-yeol.

“You haven’t shown this to anyone yet?”

“Yes. Even those in the military don’t know. This is the first time I’m showing it to my seniors.”

Choi Ki-yeol hugged Shin-woo sincerely, not pretentiously.

“Good job. Good job!”

And that’s not all.

The eyes of everyone present were more tense than ever.

The whale called Cha Jeong-sik is a prey large enough for everyone to share.

‘The hounds smelled blood.’
