You Are Defended - Chapter 582

Episode 582

Everyone just looked at me with puzzled expressions until I opened the box.

This is one of the things I took out of the trunk when I arrived at the greenhouse earlier.

“Isn’t this a jammer?”

Before I could even explain, Lee Jin-woo recognized the identity of the device.

I originally saved them because I thought they might be needed for the raid on Okayama Hospital, but I didn’t give them all to Kirihara and kept 10 of ours.

I was just wondering if it might become necessary, and the moment really came.

“How do you have the jammer?”

Lee Jin-woo looked at me with suspicious eyes.

The idea that I got it through legal means… … .

It’ll be hard to do.

I saw the CCTV being hacked with my own eyes.

I understand.

“I received support from the President.”

It is illegal to use radio jamming devices except in special cases.

It is usually used in the military.

But there is one more use case.

It’s time for the President to move.

“We received support for the device from the President, but there are cases where the police can also use jammers. According to Article 5, Paragraph 1, Item 3 of the Police Officers’ Duty Execution Act, it can be considered a sufficiently necessary situation.”

Frankly speaking, if we were to argue in court whether the Police Officers’ Duty Execution Act can be applied to use a jammer in this situation, there is a high chance that it will not be accepted.

This is because, in order to be recognized under Article 5, Paragraph 1, Subparagraph 3 of the Police Officers’ Duty Execution Act, it must be used to prevent a dangerous situation from occurring.

We are not using it to prevent dangerous situations from occurring, but rather to prevent their escape.

But if we focus on the fact that the police could not have known whether they would engage in dangerous behavior if they were discovered approaching Ribbon Medical Center, rather than from the perspective of escape prevention, it is not unacceptable.

Above all, this is a problem worth considering only when you are caught using a jammer.

We’re only going to use it for a short period of time while we clear the driveway.

If they can’t use their radio or phone, they might think, “Hey, why isn’t it working?” but they wouldn’t guess that a jammer was used.

Even if you were later convinced that a jammer was used, there is no evidence.

If only the police would keep their mouths shut.

It’s not me who should be responsible for keeping the mouth shut, it’s Lee Se-hwa who should be responsible for it.

“Using a jammer, the guards won’t be able to tell the police inside that there’s a surprise attack. If there’s a landline inside the outpost, just disconnect it. The jammer has a range of 100m. There are 10 devices. If you do it right, the police won’t know about the surprise attack until they’re within sight of the Ribbon Medical Center or within audible range of the signal they’re sending. Naturally, the escape will be delayed, and even those who try to escape over the fence into the mountains can be trapped within the encirclement.”

Even after hearing what I said, the team leaders seemed to be lost in thought for a moment.

You’re probably thinking something like this.

‘Is it okay for that lawyer to commit illegal acts?’

But you might also think this:

‘Normally, lawyers are not supposed to command the police. But the president broke the law and gave instructions to the chief of police to assign special forces and riot squads to that lawyer. Then, wouldn’t it be okay to use a jammer for a little while? … . ‘

It was true that I was a little embarrassed to be acting so shameless.

I knew there would be situations where a jammer would be needed, but I didn’t know I would be handing it over to the police.

“I understand your concerns, but I think in this situation, it would be right to use a jammer to maximize the chances of success. If the security team contacts the inside, they will definitely erase the CCTV data. The CCTV would be very important evidence. Once it is erased, you have to do forensics, and you know that forensics is not recognized as evidence.”

Heo Min-woo also added his thoughts.

The detectives who were listening to the story also agreed, saying that it was okay to use it briefly.

It seemed like the other team leaders had come over quite a bit, but Jinwoo Lee remained silent.

“We don’t have much time to think about it. It’s already 10 o’clock. If you really care, we’ll decide not to use the jammer. However, the President has shown his enthusiasm for arresting criminals by giving unusual instructions, so wouldn’t it be a problem if we miss a key target?”

I decided to end the situation by selling Isehwa.

“I agree with its use. I have personally used it in operations, and as the lawyer said, I do not think it is against the law. Isn’t it most important to arrest the entire criminal gang? I understand that you are worried, but I think there will be no problem using it for a short period of time. The targets of arrest will not even notice it. We did not use the jammers that the special forces and mobile forces possess, and there is no record of exporting them. Moreover, if the president supports it, we can worry about the consequences later.”

Jinwoo Lee, who had been seriously contemplating, finally opened his mouth.

Then everyone else seemed to agree.

It’s not that the President supported it, but it’s enough to just make it seem like he supported it after the operation was over.

In the end, the two special forces team leaders who were part of the entry team shared eight jammers.

The remaining two were each taken from the waiting room in front of the side door.

Because there may be security guards in front of the side door too.

“I would like to ask for the additional support that I mentioned earlier. Then, each team leader, please check the number of people needed for each position on the schedule and organize the teams within 10 minutes.”

“Where do you plan to be, sir?”

“I can’t go with you, so I’ll stay here. I don’t know about other illegal activities, but if anyone sees me at the scene, that’s a problem.”

The team leaders nodded and gathered the team members to form groups.

“… … .”

13 minutes have passed already.

All police officers have completed their formation and are ready.

A sharp, frightening silence flowed through the once noisy vinyl house.

“Each group moves at 15 minutes notice.”

Lee Jin-woo said.

Then he came up to me with one of the riot squad leaders and handed me two radios.

“This is a special forces radio.”

“This is the mobile unit radio.”

They showed me how to use it simply.

By the time the explanation was over, the clock had struck exactly 15 minutes.

Lee Jin-woo ran straight to where the agents were, and everyone finished preparing for the operation.

“Lawyer, we will be going out.”

Heo Min-woo also checked the time and came towards me.

“I’d like to say this in case you’re a little worried. Team Leader Lee Jin-woo is someone you can trust. He’s also very capable.”

“Do you know him?”

“He’s a famous person. He’s the same rank as me, so I’ve met him a few times at important events. But I couldn’t pretend to know him because it was an emergency.”

“That’s fortunate. You too, sir, be careful. Don’t get hurt.”

He smiled brightly and left the greenhouse with his team.

As the dozens of people who had filled the greenhouse left, we were left alone.

It became quiet again.

“Just give me a bottle of water.”

When I reached out to Taesik, who was next to me, and spoke, he silently handed me a new bottle of water that was lying on the floor.

I took out the medicine from my pocket and poured it into my mouth.

I swallowed it with water and closed my eyes tightly.

Because the time I spent waiting for the results of something that was out of my hands always brought me anxiety.

You need to take medicine in advance to numb your emotions.

From now on, I will not have the luxury of feeling anxious.

“… … .”

For over two hours, I did my best to cope with the sudden, unpredictable situation.

Only 2 hours today?

I waited and prepared for four whole years, no, over ten years including my previous life.

To witness with my own two eyes when Ko Sang-jun’s end will begin.

And that will be today.

“Barricades set up. One entry, one support, one bus. Start boarding. Report to the auxiliary entrance.”

─Entry two support two barricades installed. Waiting to board the bus.

Jinwoo Lee let out a long breath after checking the radio from the side of the entrance.

It has been deployed in all kinds of operations so far.

He participated in arrests of robbers, stabbings, and other incidents, as well as operations to capture spies sent to the South at the request of the National Intelligence Service, and also went to places where overseas criminal organizations with firearms met with domestic organizations.

But operations with this many obstacles are not common.

It is rare for a target of an arrest to be closely monitored by CCTV over such a wide area, and it is rare for it to be in the mountains, and it is almost impossible to come across a case where the operation site was built from the beginning for the purpose of committing a crime and has a complex structure.

The lawyer named Cha Ju-han was such a famous person that Lee Jin-woo also knew him.

Cha Ju-han sells only Woo-shin.

That’s why he could know too.

Where is the Ribbon Medical Center operated by?

Why did the president do this?

Lee Jin-woo was closely watching the recent Angel House abuse incident as well as the attempted murder cases that were revealed one after another.

In the process, the investigative agency lost trust, and as a police officer, Lee Jin-woo also became caught up in complicated emotions.

That was also the reason why CCTV hacking and the use of jammers gained strength.

I think they’re judging that if they don’t catch it this time, there won’t be another chance.

That judgment was correct, as the target of the arrest was a foreigner.

“Boarding is complete.”

Heo Min-woo was the last to get on the bus and sat down next to Lee Jin-woo as he spoke.

“There wasn’t a single word on the radio.”

“If I speak in English, Attorney Cha won’t be able to understand. This is the first time in my life that I’ve ever communicated like this.”

Lee Jin-woo stood up to check the personnel.

After checking, he pressed the radio button again and said.

“One entry, one support, one boarding complete.”

─Two entry, two support, two boarding complete. We will depart at the signal.

“One entry, one support, one movement. Expected to take 2 minutes to get to the drop-off point.”

The bus departed at the same time as Lee Jin-woo and the radio.

─Entry 2, support 2, start moving. Expected to take 1 minute and 30 seconds to get to the disembarkation point.

The bus went up a road that was so cleanly paved that it was hard to believe it was a road in the mountains.

And just before reaching the visibility of the Ribbon Medical Center surveillance team, the bus stopped.

From here, you must get off and walk as the main entrance security personnel can detect the bus headlights.

All the members quickly got off the bus, and Jinwoo Lee finished his final checks.

The bus will leave five minutes after the agents are expected to arrive at the main gate and block the escape route.

Lee Jin-woo pressed the radio button again.

“One entry, one support, one disembarkation point reached.”

─Two entry, two support, two disembarkation complete. Enter when the signal is given.

As soon as Lee Jin-woo finished his radio transmission, confirmation radio transmissions arrived from other groups.

“One entry, one support, we will go radio-dead in 10 seconds from now. Report the situation as soon as radio is available.”

─Entry 2, support 2, enter. After 10 seconds, radio will be disabled.

As soon as he received the answer, Lee Jin-woo attached the radio to his vest and turned on the jammer.

I had already tested the functionality once, but I used my cell phone and radio one more time to make sure the jammer was working properly.

No problem.

“Move quickly to the main gate.”

Now all that remains is to enter.
