There is no villain in my return 163

Filming of the documentary began the very next day.

When I got to work, Lee Young-ji and the cameraman I saw yesterday were at the office.

He was quite friendly with Oh Kyung-soo and Kim Ji-hye, as they were quite good at talking.

“The inspector is here.”

“Yes. You must know because you saw it first. As I said yesterday, I will be appearing in a star documentary. But I will work as usual, so don’t worry too much.”

“Yes, of course. I will do it as usual.”

Contrary to their words, the two of them put a lot of effort into their clothing and hairstyles.

Detective Oh Kyung-soo’s always messy hair was fixed with wax and his suit is new.

Kim Ji-hye had her hair permed and wore heavy makeup.

The work began with organizing the trial schedule for Oh Tae-gyu.

“Oh Tae-gyu’s side has appealed. It seems like they are trying to buy time somehow and hold out until the incident is forgotten.”

He hired a very expensive lawyer in hopes of getting preferential treatment.

It would be possible for ordinary conglomerates, but not Oh Tae-gyu.

Chairman LJ revised his will and designated one of his sons-in-law as his successor.

There has already been a stir within the LJ Group with talk of business restructuring and other such things.

Oh Tae-gyu has already been forgotten for a long time.

“Since this is a last-ditch effort, we should accept it as well.”

It is not difficult to bring down Oh Tae-gyu.

Even without looking for them, people who held grudges against him came forward one by one and testified on their own.

Not only the secretary who sent the video to Shinwoo, but also the agency representatives and models appeared in court.

Oh Tae-gyu was sentenced to death even more battered than before.

“Inspector, may I ask you one question?”

Those sparkling eyes make it seem like they’ll hang on even if you tell them not to.

“I think many people know what the prosecutor does, but they don’t know how to start an investigation. Could you tell us how the Oh Tae-gyu investigation began?”

“It started out as an internet gambling company. As we investigated that, it naturally led to the Vietnam missing person case. Right?”

Detective Oh Kyung-soo nodded in response to Shin-woo’s question.

“That’s right. Originally, it was a corpse of unknown nationality and identity, but a cell phone was found inside its stomach.”

“Is it a cell phone?”

“Yes. It had a detailed account of what he had been through every day and how he had died. Thanks to that, the investigation began in earnest and it became the starting point for us to catch all the guys hiding in Vietnam.”

Even the camera director who was filming looked at me in surprise.

All of this was possible because Shinwoo was persistent in digging into even the smallest clues.

Lee Young-ji thought it was a good decision to film Shin-woo again.

“Can I ask what case you’re investigating right now? Oh, our show will air in two months.”

“Right now, I’m in the process of wrapping up the Oh Tae-gyu and Circlepa incident, so I don’t have any specific cases to report.”

Normally, he would have to struggle with the transferred cases, but Shinwoo even received a special promotion.

The cases below are handled by other prosecutors and they have some leeway.

As the unexpectedly leisurely days continued, Lee Young-ji became anxious.

I want to film him yelling like Judge Lee Jae-gwi or acting cool while investigating a case, but it’s too peaceful.

As time went by, I found myself biting my fingernails and lips more and more.

“……It’s so peaceful. There’s nothing left to broadcast.”

Oh Kyung-soo laughed and said, hearing that.

“That’s how the prosecutor’s office is. When it’s busy, it’s like a storm, and you can’t sleep, but when it’s free, it goes smoothly like it is now. But it’s only a week a year? Maybe it’s something.”

“Why is it that one week of the year is now? Should we extend the filming period?”

“Haha. Since there are no incidents, it means it’s peaceful, which is good. If you don’t have anything to film, I can do an interview…….”

Lee Young-ji smiled and politely declined.

And then I stared blankly at Shinwoo, who was sitting there just looking through the documents.

There is no explosive or wild side to it, as in the briefing room and the courtroom.

Rather, he seems like a gentle person, as he jokes around with the investigators.

“Inspector, I brought you the newspaper.”

“Yes, thank you.”

Kim Ji-hye brought a newspaper full of daily newspapers into her arms.

One of Shinwoo’s jobs is to look into the events that appear on the front page.

Maybe it helped you find an incident or clue that you had forgotten.

“Oh my. The inspector’s photo is posted again.”

To be precise, it is about taking the Circle faction’s situation seriously and pushing for a new bill in the National Assembly.

“They say they will activate sports betting to revitalize gambling funds. But is privatization even possible?”

Shinwoo raised his head and looked at Lee Youngji.

To be exact, it’s Kim Ji-hye standing behind her.

For a moment, Lee Young-ji felt goosebumps run down her entire body.

Shinwoo’s eyes took on a strange heat, like a wolf that has caught sight of its prey.

“Give it to me.”

Shinwoo read the newspaper quickly.

This is a bill proposed jointly by both the ruling and opposition parties.

[Special Act on the Promotion of Underground Funds]

Taking Circlepa as an example, it is about expanding gambling, which was limited to sports betting, and selling some business rights to trustworthy private organizations.

Although the bill sounded plausible, it did not pass.

‘Because it was only used as material for stock price manipulation and then collapsed.’

Shinwoo returned to his seat and searched for ‘Special Act on the Promotion of Underground Funds.’

Already, various flyers are floating around on the Internet, and some stock prices have hit their upper limits.

Among them, I selected only the stocks with particularly strong growth and wrote them down on the side.

‘Isubis, Tium App, Taesung Studio… … .’

He doesn’t remember anything about it.

Any business that was even slightly related to sports betting went up.

But Shinwoo’s eyes lingered on one of those companies.

‘Caution wet.’

Although it was a company involved in sports broadcasting, its stock price jumped more than tenfold after the [Special Act on the Promotion of Underground Funds] was proposed.

But the related bill is unlikely to pass.

The head of CautionWet fled to China with 100 billion won.

Three months later, he was found dead, hanging himself while on drugs, in a hotel in China.

The incident was covered up and only the investors lost their money.

‘But the representative who committed suicide was just a person who lent his name. He was used and then died.’

And the 100 billion won flowed into the forces and politicians involved in this matter.

Just as several names were coming to mind, Oh Kyung-soo approached.

“Inspector, is there anything that is bothering you?”

“Yes. It’s nonsense to say that there is a special law for the legalization of underground funds. It’s not like we are going to open Kangwon Land online.”

“Isn’t this just an empty promise policy proposal that cares about public opinion?”

“The stock price movements are unusual for me to simply say that. Please take a look at these companies first.”

Shinwoo handed Oh Kyungsoo a list of companies that included Caution Wet.

“We will thoroughly investigate every suspicious corner, starting with the representative.”

“all right.”

The investigation, which began simply out of curiosity, progressed quickly.

The one who got excited along with it was Lee Young-ji.

PD’s intuition told him that now was the start of a scoop.

Before that day ended, Oh Kyung-soo brought information about Caution Wet.

“This is the only place that changed its representative a month ago. But I found out that this person is quite famous in this area.”

He is a professional name seller.

A representative who takes money and instead covers himself with excrement and reveals his face.

“You’re the pants boss.”

“That’s right. And after I became the CEO, I received an incomprehensible amount of investment from all over the place.”

Along with the resolution of Shinwoo’s Circle faction incident, everything went too smoothly, from the introduction of a bill to receiving large-scale investment.

This situation tells us only one thing.

“The operational forces have arrived.”

“Yes. I looked into the investment funds, but since they came from overseas banks, it will take time to find out where their roots are.”

Caution Wet is a giant washing machine that makes money through stock price manipulation and then returns the money to the shareholders after washing it.

Shinwoo already knows where the money and the laundered funds will go.

But finding that evidence is another matter.

Behind Caution Wet are supporters, including powerful politicians.

Just mentioning their names will have them attacking Shinwoo like a swarm of bees.

‘This is too burdensome for me to do alone.’

Shinwoo got up from his seat and looked at Lee Youngji.

“PD, from now on, nothing that is being filmed should be disclosed to the outside world until the case is resolved.”

“Yes, of course. We will just act like shadows, like air.”

Shinwoo has assembled a team of trustworthy people.

Park Du-yong and Yoon Seok-hoon are so stubborn and have such strong beliefs that they are called “wall windows.”

The two were startled when they found a camera as they entered Shinwoo’s office.

“What camera?”

“Hello. I’m Lee Young-ji, PD of Star Documentary. This time, I’m filming the episode about Prosecutor Kang Shin-woo. Don’t worry, just do as you normally would.”

“All of this will be evidence, so how can you act like you usually do?”

“I’ve already discussed that with the chief inspector. Anything even slightly sensitive will be cut out.”

Shinwoo showed them the information about the proposed [Special Act on the Promotion of Underground Funds] and the materials from Caution Wet while they were sitting at the table.

As expected from skilled inspectors, they were able to tell at a glance that the company was involved in stock price manipulation.

“Around 30 billion? It doesn’t seem that big.”

“It’s just the beginning. Once the ants start to join in, it will increase to 100 billion.”

Unlike Yoon Seok-hoon, who showed interest, Park Du-yong’s expression was indifferent.

“To be honest, I wonder if this is a case that three Seoul District Prosecutors’ Office prosecutors should be handling. If it’s stock manipulation, wouldn’t it be better to hand over the data to the Financial Supervisory Service even if the prosecution doesn’t step in?”

“If it was simply stock manipulation, then yes. As we traced the source of funds, we found an unexpected person.”

Shinwoo hit the Mirae Foundation on the list of investors.

It is a foundation that mainly holds exhibitions and raises donations to conduct charity work.

Invested 5 billion won in 6 installments in Caution Wet.

“The advisor here is former Financial Supervisory Service Chairman Hwang Kyung-ho. And recently, they have been publicly supporting Rep. Won Hong-gil, who is planning to create a new political party.”

“Former Financial Supervisory Service Chairman?”

It smelled bad.

There, Won Hong-gil actively pushed for the [Special Act on the Promotion of Underground Funds].

“Wait a minute. If what Prosecutor Kang said is true, then the company called Caustic Wet, Hwang Kyung-ho, and Won Hong-gil are all connected?”

“It’s a situation that warrants sufficient suspicion and investigation. If the incident is discovered late and an investigation is launched, it will only result in innocent victims being created.”

Park Du-yong nodded silently.

PD Lee Young-ji just rolled her eyes at the bigger picture than expected.

What’s inside is astonishing.

Shinwoo glanced at the newspaper article in passing and did some quick research to understand the current situation.

He is a more unique and amazing person than you might think.

“Okay. What should we do?”

“The cash flow and stock price manipulation of Coconut Wet are just the outer covering. We are targeting the money holders and the heads behind it. Rep. Won Hong-gil will be quite worried about the party’s founding funds. Prosecutor Park, please look into who he is meeting and where he receives the funds.”

“Then I will investigate former Financial Supervisory Service Governor Hwang Kyung-ho. If he was someone who would act like this, he would have left other traces.”

“Yes. Please keep it absolutely secret and do not disclose it to anyone outside.”

“I get it.”

After the short meeting, we dispersed.

Shinwoo instructed Oh Cheol-gi to find out about Kim Gook-hwan, the president of Caution Wet’s pants business.

The reason why Kim Gook-hwan has survived until now without being scrapped is because there is a reason why money lenders and investors cannot do so.

‘I’m sure he left a ledger somewhere.’

But this time, it was scrapped because the scale was larger than expected.

If you can get that ledger, it’ll be easier to solve than you think.

And just before leaving work, Choi Tae-young came to see Shin-woo.

“Let’s have a drink. Is that okay?”
