You Are Defended - Chapter 601

Episode 601

“No, why aren’t you answering?”

The sight of Jeong Ji-min demanding answers from us with a distorted expression was a stark contrast to his appearance when we first met today.

When he first asked me if people’s claims that Choi Jae-hoon was murdered were nonsense, I had no idea that the recording file contained such detailed information.

Perhaps Jeong Ji-min was doing his best to deny reality.

Even though I know for a fact that what people are saying is right.

“Mr. Jeong Ji-min.”

Kang Min-jae stopped the camera that was placed next to him and sat down next to Jo Bong-jun.

“Even if the gas explosion was an accident caused by human interference, Jeong Ji-min did nothing wrong.”

“… … .”

“The accident wasn’t caused by Mr. Jeong Ji-min.”

“I… … . Choi Jae-hoon might have refused because I said I would leave if I killed someone. Ma, ma, didn’t you hear Choi Jae-hoon mumbling to himself in the last file? He should have just said he would do it, right? Those bastards might have killed Choi Jae-hoon because they refused because of me!”

It seemed that the denial of reality that had continued from the moment I heard the recording file until just a moment ago was no longer possible.

It was clear that Jeong Ji-min thought that Choi Jae-hoon died because of him.

He glanced at the camera and took off Kang Min-jae’s jacket with trembling hands.

Then Kang Min-jae said.

“Didn’t you hear what he said after that? Even if it wasn’t for Mr. Choi Jae-hoon, he said, ‘How could you do something like that?’ Even if it weren’t for Mr. Jeong Ji-min, Mr. Choi Jae-hoon would have refused.”

I think it’s not like that. I knew that I was afraid of it.

Jeong Ji-min kept talking nonstop.

Kang Minjae slowly closed and opened his eyes.

He too seemed to need time to gather his thoughts.

“Even if the target wasn’t Jeong Ji-min, Choi Jae-hoon would have done the same. Even if he had a normal lover and a healthy relationship, Oh Joon-hong installed a wiretapping device and invaded his privacy. It’s natural to be surprised and want to check. In addition, being homosexual is a huge disadvantage in our society. It’s natural.”

“No matter what… … .”

“And it’s also obvious that Mr. Jeong Ji-min said he wouldn’t leave unless he killed someone. Mr. Choi Jae-hoon asked first. He asked vaguely without explaining the details of the situation. In that situation, who would say they would stay by your side even if you killed someone?”

Jo Bong-jun also added a word.

I think it was a situation that he could feel guilty about as a fellow human being, but it was clear that he was trying to carry a burden he didn’t have to bear.

“Don’t blame yourself. If you can’t shake off the guilt, I hope that the world will come to know that Choi Jae-hoon’s accident was intentional and that Woo-shin was behind it, and that Choi Jae-hoon’s unjust death will be revealed.”

Jeong Ji-min bowed his head deeply at Kang Min-jae’s words.

Once you enter the abyss of your heart, you will realize that these words do not have much impact.

Jeong Ji-min checked the time while wiping his wet eyes.

“Are you done filming?”

“Oh, yes. Just in case you’re worried, I’ll tell you that, aside from the parts where we’ve marked the edit points while applauding, we’ll cut out all the content that could reveal Choi Jae-hoon and Jeong Ji-min’s personal information or private lives. In particular, we’ll mute the parts where Oh Joon-hong talks about Jeong Ji-min. We’ll only let you know that Oh Joon-hong installed a wiretap in Choi Jae-hoon’s house to check his private life.”

“… … Yes. I’m sure you’ll take care of it.”

“I will make sure that Jeong Ji-min does not come out on the surface. Oh Jun-hong and Lim Hyeon-il will not mention Choi Jae-hoon’s private life first. If they do, it will be a real disaster for them.”

At Jo Bong-jun’s explanation, Jeong Ji-min slowly nodded and stood up, taking off Kang Min-jae’s shirt.

“Then please take good care of me.”

After Jeong Ji-min left, I was lost in thought for a moment.

When I first met him and listened to his statement, I had one question.

It was on the 9th that Choi Jae-hoon called Lim Hyeon-il and asked, “How could you perform such a surgery?”, and the date of his death was on the 12th.

It was three days after he first expressed his refusal that he killed Choi Jae-hoon.

It was strange because Wooshin could not have not considered the possibility that Choi Jaehoon might reveal the truth to someone else during those three days.

But now that I’ve heard the details, Choi Jae-hoon really expressed his refusal on the 11th, and didn’t Woo-shin thoroughly prepare for the leak through wiretapping?

“Since the day these bastards ordered Choi Jae-hoon to have his organs removed, no… … even before that, don’t you think they were preparing for a situation where they would have to kill Choi Jae-hoon?”

Kang Min-jae opened his mouth.

I thought the same thing, and so did Jo Bong-jun.

As we nodded heavily, Kang Min-jae frowned and said.

“After deciding on the method of murder, I think I also constantly checked when the villa residents were most absent. That’s why I said that to Choi Jae-hoon at that time. I wanted to make him go home.”

“아주 사람 목숨을 파리 목숨인 줄 알아, 이 개새끼들은.”

Jo Bong-jun ground his teeth.

[MOONBUCKS: Wow……

Baby Squirrel Jonghyun: Lost for words

cownew : Did you turn around…

Apollonian: These guys are seriously serious

lee min young: cownew I haven’t been able to enter for a week now and it’s like a nuclear bomb so I can’t figure out how to get out.

O Myung Hwa Pharmaceuticals: Wow… You just sold your organs to an ordinary doctor? And if he said no, you killed him;

Choi So-young: I’m worried about my close friend’s mental state… I think he must have been really shocked after listening to the recording file..]

After the story of Jeong Ji-min, who uses the pseudonym Seong Su-yong, and the playing of the recorded file he handed over, the number of viewers who kept saying ‘ㅋ’ or joking around like before decreased significantly.

Of all the reports we’ve made so far, not many people actually died.

Both I and Soeun had moments when we almost died, but now we’re alive and well, right?

In fact, the only person who dealt with the subject of people being murdered by Ushin was Lee Jeong-chan.

Even so, the chat room atmosphere was not serious because it was right after all the corruption had been revealed.

I don’t think the violence Choi Jae-hoon used on Jeong Ji-min can be justified.

However, there is no change to the fact that he is a sacrifice to Wooshin’s ambition.

“Everyone, that recording file started at 2:11 PM on the 12th and lasted about 18 minutes. The recording ended right after Mr. Choi got into the taxi. And it takes about 15 minutes by car from the hospital to Mr. Choi’s house. There may be plus or minus depending on traffic conditions, but even adding that up, it’s still 2:44, right? And let’s say it took the victim about 3 minutes to get off in front of the house and go up to the 3rd floor. Then it would be 2:47. When was the accident?”

Choi Jong-hyun circled the article reporting the gas explosion accident and said:

“The accident happened exactly at 2:56. So the explosion happened less than 10 minutes after the victim got home. Let’s look at a few articles related to the gas explosion accident scene at the time.”

Choi Jong-hyun opened several captured copies of the article.

No one reported smelling gas, and the gas concentration at the scene was very high.

“According to the on-site investigation, there was no evidence of artificial damage to the gas pipe. So there must have been a leak somewhere, or something like that. But there was no mention of a problem with the gas pipe. We also searched diligently to see if there were any articles that contained the specific cause of the gas explosion.”

Choi Jong-hyun enlarged the text in the captured version of the article and showed it to me.

“They just assumed that there was a leak in the gas pipe, and they said that many cigarette butts were found inside the house. There were no CCTVs inside the villa, and the only thing they could check was the public CCTV. It seems that no suspicious circumstances were captured. There’s nothing special to say. The deceased’s cell phone was completely dead because of the explosion. They’re vaguely assuming that the accident occurred because the person lit a cigarette inside the house where the gas was leaking. So they don’t know the exact cause. The investigation was concluded at the speculative level. The police said they’ll reinvestigate, so we’ll probably hear more soon. But here’s the problem.”

A yellow highlighter was drawn over the captured copy of the article.

“No one smelled it. There must be a lot of people here who have used city gas. You all know the smell of gas, right? Gas is originally colorless and odorless. That’s why they intentionally add an odorant to it. So that you can recognize a gas leak. Of course, there are gases that don’t have odorants. But they aren’t used in our daily lives.”

[Myeonghwa Pharmaceutical: So you’re saying that you used gas without any odorant to prevent people from smelling it?

Teddy Bear: ㄷㄷㄷㄷㄷㄷㄷ

Cha Ju-han: It’s really creepy

Make the handsome lawyer reappear..: Well, if there was a lot of gas leaked into the house to cause such a big explosion, the dead doctor must have felt something strange because of the smell.

Choi Jong-hyun’s wig: So you made it so that it wouldn’t smell and then exploded it so that people wouldn’t recognize it?]

The file I received from Jeong Ji-min was purely circumstantial.

There were these things happening before and after Choi Jae-hoon’s death, and there are clues that they may be related to his death.

These files do not prove that the gas explosion was a fabrication to prevent the spread of Wooshin’s long-term trading scheme.

But the reason we’re putting this out there on air is to hand the buck to the police.

First, to make the public aware of how meticulously they have been preparing for organ trafficking, so that the public can pressure the police.

Secondly, even if it is moved to Gwangsu-daero, the scope of the investigation is wide, so it is necessary to provide the scope of the investigation for the police who will inevitably have to hesitate.

These are two purposes.

“In addition, when we measured the gas concentration at the scene after the explosion, the concentration was high. So that means that even though the fire was ignited and the explosion occurred, there was still gas left? That means that a lot of gas leaked out. But how come no one smelled it?”

“The article said that the cause of the accident was a cigarette butt, right? Then let’s say that Mr. Choi was furious after finding a wiretap in his house and decided to smoke a cigarette. But if he smelled gas, would he have smoked? If he didn’t, wouldn’t he have smoked?”

“Right. The odorant is made to produce a strong smell. The purpose is to make people feel uncomfortable and to make them notice a gas leak. Does anyone light a cigarette when the smell vibrates? Then doesn’t that mean there was no gas smell in the house? And if there was no smell, doesn’t that mean someone put a gas that is not available in everyday life in the house?”

[Choi Jong-hyun’s wig: That house was full of gas = Fact

Choi Jong-hyun’s wig: No smell = Gas without deodorant How do you get it in everyday life? Someone must have put it there

Choi Jong-hyun’s wig: It smelled = But why did you light a cigarette? Why would you light a cigarette even if it wasn’t a cigarette?

Choi Jong-hyun’s wig: This is itㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ]

Choi Jong-hyun, who was watching the chat, snapped his fingers and shouted.

“Choi Jong-hyun’s wig, correct. Of course, it’s not a wig, it’s all my hair, but whatever! Isn’t this still murder?”
