There is no villain in my return 149

Shinwoo’s briefing was broadcast live on the news.

A whopping 340 billion won worth of damages from a rental fraud were recovered before they could be smuggled out to China.

If there had been even a little delay, countless victims would have gone bankrupt or lost their homes.

“We will return the recovered money to the victims as soon as possible without even a single cent of error.”

As soon as Shinwoo’s briefing ended, the reporters and officials who were listening applauded as promised.

This was not just news, but something I could relate to as a citizen of the Republic of Korea who cares about the safety of the people.

“Then I will now take questions.”

As soon as Shinwoo finished speaking, hands shot up from all directions.

Detective Oh Kyung-soo handed the microphone over to the reporter who raised his hand at the front.

The familiar face wearing horn-rimmed glasses is reporter Choi Hwan-seong.

“I expect the majority of the public will be very pleased with this result. But aside from that, I am curious about how the interest was investigated.”

His face has brightened up a lot, unlike when he was suffering after being sued by the Minjok Ilbo.

Shinwoo nodded to him and answered.

“If there is a trigger for investigating a case, it is naturally because the victim was discovered.”

An So-jeong, who was a cat mom, was kicked out due to a rental fraud.

Normally, I would let it go since it wasn’t my business, but not Shinwoo.

Everyone who heard how the investigation was conducted and the criminal was arrested let out a small gasp.

“It’s a sense of duty as a prosecutor. Thank you for your answer.”

Choi Hwan-seong reported on Shinwoo as if it were a special feature article.

Epic Today is famous for only saying the right thing, so its truthfulness stood out.

The repercussions of the case’s resolution extend beyond just the news.

The victims came to the prosecutor’s office in person to express their gratitude.

Since this place is off-limits to outsiders, I felt honored to receive a gift.

Thanks to this, Shinwoo’s office is filled with local specialties from all over the country.

“Inspector. I think I understand the mind of the Joseon Dynasty kings a little. It’s the first time I’ve seen so many special products from all over the country, from fruits to meats!”

“The investigators have worked hard, so please take care of them.”

“Is that okay?”

“Of course. We investigated the case together.”

“The kids hated it when I came home because it smelled like poop, but today I’m having a meat party so they’re going to be happy. Haha.”

The two of them left work with heavy hands.

The investigators leave the office and Shinwoo is left alone.

He spent a long time organizing the remaining documents.

The job of a prosecutor doesn’t end with simply catching bad guys.

We must fight in court to make sure these guys get the proper punishment.

“None of them will see the light of day for a very long time.”

National sentiment dictates that many people want to send them to China.

Then it will definitely be the death penalty.

Shinwoo sorted out their cases and opened the drawer.

There was information there that no one, not even in the briefing room, had been told about.

This is the information that Baek Yeong-chun revealed in exchange for begging for his life.

Most of them were things Shinwoo knew, but there were some that were useful.

“I tried to dig up information about the triad and drug cartels, but I found something bigger than I thought.”

This is an internet gambling company that Geummusan has been paying a lot of attention to recently.

He established his base in Vietnam and evaded Korean law.

They brought young Korean developers to Vietnam under the pretext of providing jobs and made them work for gambling companies.

What was created that way is an internet gambling site of enormous scale.

What used to be centered around houses expanded in this direction as the Internet developed.

It is currently the largest gold vein in Geumosan Mountain.

We are expanding in various ways by utilizing young gangsters.

“If I could cut this, it would definitely be a huge blow.”

But unlike before, catching these guys requires several complex steps.

Shinwoo got up from his seat, sweeping his hair up.

Now that the incident is over, it’s time to cool your heated head.

Shinwoo, who was about to go out, stopped when he found something in the gift package.

It’s a fruit basket.

There is a small letter stuck there.

[It’s getting more and more fun. But how long can this last?]

It’s a meaningful statement.

As soon as Shinwoo saw it, he realized that it was sent by Geummusan.

“I guess we do look alike. That’s what I want to say too.”

Shinwoo crumpled up the note and threw it into the trash can.

Shinwoo became a special promotion candidate for solving this rental fraud case.

It is a surprisingly unusual decision even within the prosecution.

“A special promotion for a prosecutor who hasn’t even been a prosecutor for a year? Isn’t that a bit excessive?”

“That’s excessive. Just looking at the cases I’ve solved, I’ve done more than what other prosecutors would do in their regular time as prosecutors. I guess I’m trying to give power to prosecutors who are going to fly anyway.”

Shinwoo was the first prosecutor in history to be promoted to the rank of deputy chief prosecutor in his first year.

It was not a position that actually existed in the job title or organizational chart.

This concept was created due to the backlog of promotions for senior prosecutors, and they are promoted to the level of senior prosecutor after about 1 to 2 years.

It is considered a position where prosecutors wait for 1-2 years with their peers before being promoted to chief prosecutor. In military terms, it is equivalent to chief (jin), and in police or fire department terms, it is equivalent to chief (promotion).

“Even if there is a period of military inspection, will I be promoted to chief prosecutor after 5 years?”

“If you calculate it normally, it would be like that. If you solve the case like you are doing now, it might be faster than that.”

“Oh, really? Then we have to wait in line for our juniors?”

A division is usually composed of 7 to 8 prosecutors, and the deputy chief prosecutor is the second in command of the chief prosecutor.

Typically, a deputy chief prosecutor is someone with 12 to 13 years of experience as a prosecutor, including a military judge advocate.

Those up to the deputy chief prosecutor are investigative practitioners, and those above that are considered managers.

Shinwoo became the highest ranking official in the field.

“Oh my. The most junior inspector is a senior who has to watch out for others.”

Everyone was dumbfounded, but no one was brave enough to object or raise objections.

Shinwoo’s special promotion involves political issues that go beyond simple performance.

In the case of the adoption issue of Saesomang Orphanage, there is continuous connection with human rights organizations around the world, and the drug case of Woodfoot Wood is connected to the Chinese Triad.

We can’t have Shin-woo, who is in charge of such a huge incident, as just a first-year prosecutor.

“There’s the law school at Hankuk University of Foreign Studies, a prestigious school that high-ranking officials are attracted to.”

It is certain that Prosecutor General Kim Gwang-ho will soon become the Minister of Justice, and the 4th Deputy Prosecutor General Kim Yoon-sik will be the next Prosecutor General.

In that case, all that’s left for Shinwoo, who is riding that direct line, is to run forward.

The other prosecutors were worried about how to treat Shinwoo, but Shinwoo didn’t really care.

“Hello, senior.”

Rather, he went around greeting people politely as usual.

We slowly found balance in a relationship that could have been uncomfortable.

There’s too much to do to worry about such trivial matters.

“Your Honor, brothers Hwang Hyeon and Hwang Jun have finally given up on appealing. They must have realized that in the current public opinion, there is no point in making any more fuss.”

“It’s too bad. I could have told you more. What did Baek Yeong-chun say in response from the Chinese side?”

“You always say the same thing. The crimes committed by ethnic Koreans are not under the jurisdiction of the Chinese side. This is typical tail-cutting.”

The international community is telling the Triads and Chinese criminal organizations that they have nothing to do with this incident.

In a word, Baek Yeong-chun was abandoned.

Now it’s up to Shinwoo to decide what to do with them.

“We’ll do our best to make them suffer and send them to China after what they’ve done.”

In the end, he is destined to be executed.

I intend to give you hope that you might survive, only to have it frustrated.

Shin Jeong-suk prepared a feast every night.

Even though Shin Jeong-suk was told not to do it because she often couldn’t eat because she got off work late, she insisted on cooking.

[My son is doing such a great job outside, so this is all I can do for him.]

“This is why I don’t go to company dinners and come home. Because my mom’s cooking is the best.”

[really?]

Shinwoo ate two bowls of rice and went into his room.

And I spoke to Geum Na-yeon for the first time in a long time.

-This matter was handled well too.

“That’s what it is. What is Geummusan’s reaction?”

-Are you asking because you don’t know? Woodfoot Lumber’s shares were taken away and the business that was making money disappeared.

“You must have been really angry and took it out on yourself.”

-Even if we tried to do that, we couldn’t do that since everyone was arrested. But don’t think that Cheonwoo Industries has been hit hard.

Only the businesses associated with the shady side went bust, while the profits earned by investing in the declining stock market increased significantly.

The size and influence of Cheonwoo Industries are growing steadily, just like Shinwoo.

-By the way, you didn’t call just to confirm something like that, did you? Let’s get to the point.

From the other side, I could hear the crunching of ice and the sound of water.

“This is not the time to be leisurely drinking and taking a bath.”

-What? Did you install a hidden camera in my bathroom?

“What are you doing looking at your body?”

The reason Shinwoo contacted her was to ask her for two things.

“Do you know anything about gambling businesses based in Vietnam?”

-Vietnam? I don’t know much about that business. Most of it is overseen by Director Sung. I can find out if you ask me, but it won’t be of much help.

If Geum Na-yeon comes forward and says she will investigate, she will only arouse suspicion.

“Okay. I’ll take care of that. But you just worry about one thing.”

-Just talk.

“The safe in the mansion.”

-safe?

If Geummusan had not changed it, the No. 1 safe would be piled high with cash and bonds.

And in the second vault, there are shares purchased without exception from the top 100 companies in Korea, which means influence in the Korean economy.

And the last 3 vaults-.

“I need to know what’s in the safe.”

Geum Na-yeon’s laughter could be heard over the phone.

-Do you think Grandpa would reveal that to me? I was the one who was going to throw him out a while ago. If Geum Min-jun hadn’t scored an own goal, I would have been in that situation a long time ago.

“I know. That’s why you can’t think like that anymore. I’m not asking you to find out right away. I just want you to know whether it’s money, a ledger, or a person.”

-Okay. I’ll try.

After hanging up the phone, Shinwoo sat down and searched on his laptop.

[Internet Gambling]

[illegal ladder]

There isn’t really any news about it, except for a few illegal sites that come to mind.

The move from offline gambling to online is a recent one.

Shinwoo went into the gambling site and looked into how they operated.

The dealer dealt cards on a screen with real-time video, and horse racing and cycling were also held.

It’s an online casino.

There is also illegal betting on sports events around the world.

“There’s this one too.”

This is the rainbow snail that the convenience store worker used to work at.

It is a gamble where a snail moves while wriggling and chooses which way to go – right or left.

Investigating these guys with certainty is more complicated than you might think.

Not only should we ask Vietnam to cooperate in the investigation, but we must also clearly understand the extent of the damage.

“If we delve into the basics, it will take a considerable amount of time.”

He might know about the investigation in advance and run away after cutting off his tail.

A much more persistent and effective investigation is needed.

The best thing to do is to step on their shadows as if by chance and grab their torsos.

Shinwoo called Oh Cheol-gi and instructed him to find out about the people who had recently gone missing in Vietnam.

“Find out as secretly as possible.”

-Yes, sir.

And then as I lay down in bed, my phone rang again.

It’s been a long time since I’ve received a phone call from Professor Choi Jeong-hoon.

This is a request to come to school and give a special lecture to the juniors.

-Everyone is going crazy because they want to see you, Shinwoo. If you say you’re busy, we can postpone it until later.

“No. I’ve removed all the incidents, so I think it’ll be okay if I just take a break in the afternoon.”

-Thank you, Shinwoo.

I hung up the phone, lay down on my bed, and looked up at the ceiling.

The grid pattern looked like a safe.

Shinwoo continued to wonder what might be inside the third safe in Geummusan.

But I’m still not sure about that.

“If it was hidden in the deepest place, it must be that precious to Geummusan.”

It’s not just a commodity that has universal value.

There is no way that Geummusan could have hidden that much so tightly.

If Geum Na-yeon, the sole successor, finds out the identity of the thing, it will be of great help in dealing with Geum Musan.

“Somehow I feel like that will determine the outcome of our fight.”

Of course, this is just Shinwoo’s intuition.

Should I keep thinking about it?

That night, Shinwoo had a dream about opening a safe.
