There is no villain in my return 168

Shinwoo’s investigation into former and current members of the National Assembly shocked society.

The atmosphere became heated as reporters kept asking questions throughout the briefing.

“Representative Won Hong-gil criticized the prosecution’s political investigation. What do you think about this?”

“There is also talk that this is a deliberate loyalty investigation with the next move in mind. Please give me an answer on this matter!”

The two are Won Hong-gil, an opposition lawmaker with overwhelming approval ratings who is preparing to launch a new party, and former lawmaker Choi Ki-yeol, who was mentioned in the media as a strong candidate for the next Seoul mayor.

Just mentioning their names caused a buzz all around, like a beehive had been stirred.

Not only did he deny the charges, he also attacked the prosecutor, Shin Woo.

Although dirty questions poured in from all sides, Shinwoo looked around at them with a calm expression.

Instead, I smiled inwardly.

Since they cannot deny the allegations, they are trying to destroy trust by attacking Shinwoo, the messenger.

But unlike them who are filthy with all kinds of filth, Shinwoo is clean.

“Today, the reporters’ tongues are as sharp as pens. The reason I am here today is not to simply say that these people are guilty. We have already secured all the evidence for the crimes they committed, and the investigation is nearing completion.”

Behind Shinwoo are Park Du-yong, Yoon Seok-hoon, and Choi Tae-young.

They were holding heavy folders in their hands.

The crime committed is that serious and the evidence is clear.

Today’s briefing is going to be quite long.

“The prosecutors who investigated with me will hold a separate briefing.”

The first one to come out was Park Du-yong.

He bowed his head to Shinwoo, who stepped aside, and stood in front of the microphone.

“We will now begin the briefing on the bribery and stock price manipulation allegations against Rep. Won Hong-gil. Rep. Won Hong-gil recently used a company called Causianwet as a means of obtaining the necessary funds while preparing to establish a new party. Causianwet is the stock that benefited the most from the ‘Special Act on the Promotion of Underground Funds’ passed by the National Assembly a month ago, and has recently risen more than tenfold…….”

Park Du-yong explained the investigation process in a calm voice.

“Our prosecution succeeded in obtaining the testimony of Kim Kook-hwan, the former president of Caution Wet, and the ledger he wrote. When we compared it with the donation history of Rep. Won Hong-gil, it all matched, and we are already investigating whether there are any additional money laundering and other suspicions.”

Won Hong-gil is a sitting member of the National Assembly who has immunity from arrest.

Arrests can only be made with the consent of the National Assembly.

There is not a single gap in the allegations and evidence explained by Park Du-yong.

At his voice asking for questions, reporters belatedly raised their hands.

“I understand that the Special Act on the Legalization of Underground Funds is a bill for the legalization of gambling funds. According to your statement, are you saying that Rep. Won Hong-gil intentionally used it for money laundering?”

Park Du-yong glanced at Shin-woo.

I was wondering what level of response to give.

Shinwoo nodded resolutely.

He had already drawn his sword to cut off his opponent’s neck.

There is no need to be considerate of the National Assembly when you have the sword in your hand.

“Our investigation found that the bill was nothing more or less intended for money laundering and stock price manipulation.”

The reporters’ hands moved quickly at the sharper answer than expected.

Next up is Yoon Seok-hoon.

Likewise, he bowed his head to Shinwoo and began the briefing.

“Former Financial Supervisory Service Chairman Hwang Kyung-ho is the real owner of the Mirae Foundation and the mastermind and moneymaker behind all stock price manipulations since the recent Caustic Wet incident. He was involved in everything from planning to executing stock price manipulations while avoiding the Financial Supervisory Service’s attention. And when the prosecution began its investigation, he attempted to assassinate the CEO, Kim Kook-hwan, after sending him to the Philippines to destroy all evidence.”

“……Assassination? Did I mishear that? The former Financial Supervisory Service Chairman tried to kill someone?”

“You’re saying he even committed murder against his teachers.”

In the noisy atmosphere, Yoon Seok-hoon answered with more force in his voice.

“We have confirmed everything, including the text messages containing murder requests and the exchange of funds. Kim Gook-hwan was dramatically rescued by investigators before he was murdered at a hotel in the Philippines, and he has given his full account of the situation.”

Just like Won Hong-gil, he investigated perfectly without any water leaks.

Hwang Kyung-ho, who had been promised an advisory position in a newly founded political party and even a nomination in the future, was arrested on the spot at the Mirae Foundation and held in a detention center.

Choi Tae-young came out last.

Gulp-

He swallowed dry saliva and stared blankly at the reporters and cameras.

Unlike the previous two, there is a clear look of tension on his face.

He met Shinwoo’s gaze and bowed.

“……I will explain about former lawmaker Choi Ki-yeol’s bribery.”

Likewise, they are locked up in a detention center, just waiting for trial.

Unlike Won Hong-gil and Hwang Gyeong-ho, Shin Woo was involved in a bribery scandal.

“Former lawmaker Choi Ki-yeol has been receiving bribes from Kim Kook-hwan, who was involved in stock price manipulation, for a long time and consistently. To be exact, he is former Financial Supervisory Service Chairman Hwang Kyung-ho, who put Kim Kook-hwan forward as the president of Baji.”

“Are you saying they have had a connection for a long time?”

“That’s right. According to the confirmed facts from the transaction records in the ledger, I received about 3 billion won at least once a month for the past 5 years.”

It’s all because Oh Cheol-gi stabbed him in the back, but it doesn’t matter.

Choi Ki-yeol, who was about to run for mayor of Seoul, needed funds just like Won Hong-gil, and it was revealed that he had received money from Hwang Gyeong-ho.

After the three inspectors finished their explanations, Shinwoo concluded the briefing.

Choi Ki-yeol received more attention from reporters because he was a senior at the prosecution and Korea University.

“Former lawmaker Choi Ki-yeol is my senior at the prosecution. I am curious about how he conducted the investigation.”

It’s a really useless question just to package provocative content.

Shinwoo answered without any change in expression.

“Have you ever seen the Statue of Justice?”

“Of course. It’s in front of the court too.”

“Then you understand. The sword that the Goddess of Justice holds symbolizes the difficulty of the law and the authority and power of the judiciary, the scales symbolize the fairness and impartiality of the law, and the blindfold symbolizes the absence of prejudice or preconceptions. Likewise, the sword that we wield has no eyes.”

The prosecutor’s investigation does not discriminate against the opponent’s position or origin.

In front of him, Choi Ki-yeol is nothing more or less than a criminal.

Shinwoo bowed his head after saying those words.

After the briefing, numerous articles were circulated.

When it became known how Hwang Kyung-ho manipulated stock prices, public opinion grew angry.

This was especially true for those who had invested in stocks even a little, or who had bought stocks known to have been manipulated.

Moreover, this is not simply an individual deviation or crime.

Criticism erupted over whether the Financial Supervisory Service played a proper role in the stock price manipulation by the former Financial Supervisory Service chairman.

[There are only 5 companies that have been manipulated through stock price manipulation before the Coconut Wet incident. And yet, the Financial Supervisory Service has not investigated them once? It was something that could have been completely exposed in one prosecution investigation?]

[100% of the money was shared among the higher-ups, lol. This is why I don’t do the national funeral. Let’s all go to the American funeral.]

[The Financial Supervisory Service isn’t stupid lol. They’re just talking nonsense. It’s just that Prosecutor Kang Shin-woo is amazing. He took all the prosecutors under him and cracked them down this time. But is the expression “prosecutor under him” correct? They all joined the company at a high age.]

[You bowed your head. You got promoted first, so I’m saying I’ll treat you better.]

As the investigation into the suspended trading of Caution Wet began, the connection with Hwang Gyeong-ho became more certain.

The investors are all connected to the Future Foundation.

In particular, the homeless people who sold their names to them appeared in court as witnesses and testified about Hwang Gyeong-ho’s secretary.

“That’s right. He said he would give me 10 million won if I opened a stock trading account. I wonder how it was used after that…….”

The account created was used to purchase 200 million won worth of Koshenwet stocks through credit transactions.

When stock prices crashed, all the debt went to the homeless.

Hwang Gyeong-ho’s secretary lowered his head and said nothing.

“Is it true that former Financial Supervisory Service Governor Hwang Kyung-ho said that everything was done unilaterally by you?”

“……Doctrinaire!”

He lifted his head and glared at Hwang Gyeong-ho.

“I just…….”

“Shut up, you punk! There’s no way I would do something like that!”

“Mr. Foundation!”

“Don’t call me the tailor, you criminal bastard!”

Hwang Kyung-ho tries to cut the tail late, but it’s too late.

Instead, his secretary spewed out testimony as if possessed by evil.

Everyone frowned at the sight of them struggling in the gutter.

Hwang Kyung-ho will have to spend quite a long time in prison before he can fully pay for the crimes he committed, starting with being a murderer.

As the trial began to take shape, the National Assembly also began to take action.

“I wonder if they are politicians, they are very observant.”

“Won Hong-gil has been struggling to prevent the motion for arrest from being passed. He has been walking around with his head bowed regardless of whether he is from the ruling or opposition party.”

Although the party’s founding has long since passed, it still has a diehard following.

“Public opinion is like this, so the National Assembly can’t do anything about it.”

Shinwoo’s words are accurate.

The arrest warrant was passed just in the nick of time and he appeared in court.

Park Du-yong shook off Won Hong-gil’s body as if he was crushing dry firewood.

Later, my face turned red as if it were on fire.

“Mr. Won Hong-gil. Do you have anything to say?”

“……I…… don’t know much about it.”

All he can do is evade the charges.

But the expressions of the judges looking down at him are already cold.

The most anticipated trial is, of course, Choi Gi-yeol.

Shinwoo had a meeting with Choi Taeyoung before the trial.

“How are you doing?”

“He claims that he was wronged. He said that he received money, but that it had nothing to do with Hwang Kyung-ho or Won Hong-gil.”

“I guess so.”

Choi Tae-young treated Shin-woo with respect, clearly indicating that they had decided on a relationship.

That doesn’t mean I trust him.

“If necessary, call Kim Gook-hwan as a witness.”

“All right.”

This incident changed the way people viewed Shinwoo within Myeongnyun.

There used to be a tendency to look down on those with skills because they were young and had no skills, but this incident has completely dispelled all of that.

It was thanks to Choi Tae-young bowing his head first.

However, not everyone is positive about Shinwoo.

Some people were uncomfortable with him, saying that he broke the systematic hierarchy of Myungryun.

‘You can’t stand above others forever just because you’re my senior.’

On the other hand, the number of people following Shinwoo has also increased.

Most of them are young prosecutors who follow their skills and reputation.

They somehow came under Shinwoo and tried to investigate the case together or become friends.

Yoon Seok-hoon, who was abandoned in the countryside, Park Du-yong, who was just taking care of his senior’s business, and lastly Choi Tae-young, who seemed like a fly-by-night prosecutor, were used to catch the big shots.

I thought that I could grow the fastest within the prosecution just by being under Shinwoo.

All of this is what Shinwoo had hoped for.

He tried to remember the names of all the inspectors who approached him by talking to them at least once.

It’s an investment for the stormy future ahead.

‘They will be my sword and shield in my future endeavors.’

And when the trial was starting to take shape, the current chief prosecutor, Kim Yun-sik, called him to his meeting.

It also meant that they had finally decided on what to do with Shinwoo.

‘I have proven my usefulness enough. Anyone who is greedy will think of using me first.’

That evening, Shinwoo headed to the address that Kim Yunsik had sent.

A Korean restaurant located on the outskirts of Seoul.

The parking lot visible beyond the fence was lined with luxury foreign cars.

“Prosecutor Kang Shin-woo. I will invite you inside.”

A woman wearing a hanbok guided him with her head bowed.

When we finally arrived at the tatami room, all we could hear was an eerie silence.

Knock knock-

The door opened and a room was revealed with about 20 people sitting there.

They include key figures in Myungryun, as well as current and former prosecutors.

The one sitting at the very top is an old man with a grumpy appearance, someone Shinwoo already knows well.

‘Na Jae-chang.’

He was a seasoned, seasoned politician who had run for president twice and failed, and the only person who did not take Geummusan’s outstretched hand.
