Episode 603

“I found my phone!”

The investigator, who was searching the bottom of the saltwater fish tank, took out an object wrapped in layers of zip-lock bags and waterproof plastic and waved it in the air.

He was so wrapped up that I would have thought it was drugs if he hadn’t said it was a cell phone.

“cell phone?”

Heo Min-woo, who was checking electronic information in front of the computer in the living room, turned his head toward the study at the sound of the voice.

“It must be a cannon phone. I thought you got rid of it a long time ago.”

The investigator whispered to Heo Min-woo, who was heading to the study.

This afternoon, a search and seizure warrant was issued for Oh Jun-hong’s home.

The police decided that the time had come for urgency and stormed into his house without prior notice.

“Im Hyeon-il couldn’t find the cannon phone. I’m glad I found this.”

The investigator said with a pleased smile.

As he said, there hasn’t been much fun to be had from the search and seizure of Lim Hyeon-il so far.

On the day of the incident, Lim Hyeon-il was arrested at the scene, so a search and seizure of his belongings was immediately conducted.

But he only had one cell phone in his name.

Afterwards, the police requested that Lim Hyeon-il voluntarily submit various pieces of evidence, but he refused all of them, and a search and seizure warrant was issued for his home and laboratory.

Unfortunately, his cannon phone didn’t come out there either.

I think it may have been abandoned in the mountains while running away from Ribbon Medical Center, but I couldn’t find it despite searching the area thoroughly.

That’s why finding Oh Jun-hong’s cannon phone was quite a feat.

There is a reason why the search and seizure of Oh Jun-hong was delayed.

The police also believed that Oh Jun-hong was at least an accomplice, as CCTV footage seized from Ribbon Medical Center showed that he had made contact with Onodera and his mother several times.

Based on this, we requested search and seizure warrants and arrest warrants several times, but the court continued to reject the warrants until yesterday.

It was because there was insufficient evidence to establish the facts of the crime.

Oh Jun-hong also coolly submitted a cell phone registered in his name.

Of course, there was no content related to organ trading on the randomly submitted cell phone.

“Attorney.”

When Heo Min-woo arrived at the study, Oh Jun-hong, who was watching the search and seizure scene, whispered to the lawyer who had entered the scene.

Then the lawyer stepped forward.

“Wait a minute. Shouldn’t you just copy the relevant content on site?”

Heo Min-woo stared at the lawyer.

He was a lawyer appointed by Oh Jun-hong in advance.

When the police first raided the area, Oh Jun-hong was so scared by the mention of the word search and seizure that he started to question whether night-time enforcement was illegal.

Then, after seeing that the warrant was stamped ‘After sunset, before sunrise’, he said he would call a lawyer.

It seemed like it was following the manual.

Since there was no reason to refuse the lawyer’s presence, the police had no choice but to say yes.

He very calmly told his wife and children to ‘go to grandma’ and then waited for an hour for his lawyer.

Normally, you have to wait about an hour for your lawyer to arrive, so you make full use of that time.

In the meantime, it is expected that the lawyer would have been having a heated strategy meeting while rushing to Oh Jun-hong’s house.

You’ve prepared so hard, but it’s disappointing if you don’t make a single tackle.

Most of what the suspect’s lawyer does at the scene of a search and seizure is to cause obstruction.

“Yes, I will do that. Unlock it to check the contents.”

Heo Min-woo held out his cell phone to Oh Jun-hong.

Then Oh Jun-hong whispered to the lawyer again.

Again, the lawyer spoke to Heo Min-woo.

“That’s not Mr. Oh Jun-hong’s. I don’t know why it’s there.”

“is it so?”

Heo Min-woo took his cell phone out of the ziplock bag and connected it to the PC.

As a natural consequence, the contents could not be checked because the phone was locked.

“I can’t open this here, and the contents of the messenger app inside are subject to search and seizure, so I’ll have to confiscate the phone itself. I’ll mark it as not my property on the list of confiscated items.”

“It’s not your property, so shouldn’t it be subject to confiscation? Then what if it’s Mr. Oh Jun-hong’s wife’s cell phone? Would you still confiscate it?”

“Is that your wife’s cell phone?”

“I don’t know about that.”

“There is electronic information in the search and seizure, and isn’t this an electronic information storage device? We will check who owns it. Please come and observe at that time.”

Heo Min-woo answered in a formal voice.

Then the lawyer also shook his head at Oh Jun-hong.

He must have said that knowing full well that it was nonsense.

Since it would be revealed that it was Oh Jun-hong’s property once it was unlocked, I wondered why he insisted on saying it wasn’t his just to make it look suspicious.

Perhaps the content of the communications exchanged on this cannon phone was so vague that there was nothing that could clearly reveal the owner.

But if you look for the link, it will come out.

“under…….”

Leaving behind Oh Jun-hong’s sigh, Heo Min-woo came out to the living room with his cell phone.

“Oh, thank you so much to those reporters. I almost cried if I hadn’t found this.”

One of the detectives glanced at Oh Jun-hong and the lawyer, who were still watching the search and seizure scene from inside the room, and then tapped Heo Min-woo on the shoulder with his own shoulder.

Heo Min-woo snickered.

“That’s true.”

The reason the warrant, which had been repeatedly rejected, was issued today is because Choi Jong-hyun and Cho Bong-jun had already handed over evidence to the police before Choi Jae-hoon’s recorded file was dropped on air.

The police quickly reviewed the evidence provided and issued another warrant based on it.

Thanks to that, the search and seizure was conducted around the time Choi Jae-hoon’s recording file was played on the broadcast.

“It’s not easy to get a night warrant.”

Heo Min-woo added.

“Even if you try to hide it in various ways, it’s still hard to find it, so the bottom of the fish tank is a bit classic.”

The detective said with a smirk.

“If you look through the contents, you might be able to find Lim Hyeon-il’s cannon phone.”

“Yes, that’s right.”

The search and seizure continued after that, and ended just after 3:00 AM.

There was a considerable income.

Among the copied files, there were many securities that were believed to have been received as compensation for Oh Jun-hong’s participation in long-term trading.

“I guess the Japanese embassy keeps contacting me to ask me to return Onodera’s hat. I got a call even at 8 p.m.”

The detective checked the delayed contact and said.

Heo Min-woo clicked his tongue as he got into the car.

“Shizuka Onodera violated the Immigration Control Act and even committed human trafficking within the country, so how can she be so shameless in asking to be sent back?”

“It’s understandable because she’s the Prime Minister’s daughter. She’s also making a fuss to send her grandson away quickly. She’s not a subject of punishment, so why are you keeping her? Isn’t it enough time to investigate the witness? It’s problematic from a humanitarian perspective to leave a sick child like that.”

“Oh, me. Who can do whatever they want? Didn’t the immigration office tell you that you and your dad are getting along really well? They even gave me a doctor’s opinion that there’s no problem with the child’s health.”

“I did. Grandpa, as soon as evidence is found, Interpol will issue a search warrant, so I told you to wait quietly, even though it was on the tip of my tongue.”

If I say something like that, people will ask how you can make such a threat to the head of government of a country.

It will also have an impact on Korea-Japan relations, and if necessary, it is obvious that they will ask what etiquette it is to immediately issue an Interpol search warrant instead of coordinating through the embassy.

In Japan and Korea, it has not yet been revealed which family members are foreigners who attempted to trade organs.

But if this is revealed, even if he is the Prime Minister, he will not be able to leave without resigning.

“When will the article come out in Japan?”

It would be nice if our country had published the article first, but realistically, the president has taken a lot of risk just by putting this much effort into the investigation.

Onodera was shaken to the core and ended up being destroyed, but couldn’t he shake the relationship with the nation of Japan?

In many ways, it is better if the article is published first in Japan.

“Will it come out soon?”

* * *

“Why does the reporter want to meet me?”

As Kirihara opened the door and went in, the man sitting inside greeted her with a faint smile.

“Congressman Kobayashi, it’s been a while. How have you been?”

“I can’t tell you how nervous I was when you asked to see me at this hour of the morning.”

Kobayashi, a 10-term lawmaker who lost the prime ministership to Onodera in the recent election, enjoys support from the younger generation compared to Onodera.

Having worked as a bureaucrat at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs since his 20s, he gradually rose through the ranks in politics, starting as a secretary to a prominent member of the National Assembly.

Although the style is strong in performance and has many mixed reviews, it has a strong support base.

Unfortunately, he lost to Masao Onodera, who comes from a long-standing political family.

“You didn’t come here to say anything scary, did you?”

Kobayashi asked Kirihara, who was sitting across from him.

Then Kirihara answered.

“It’s a scary story, yes. But it’s not a scary story for you, Congressman.”

“What’s going on?”

“Haven’t you noticed it to some extent? There’s already been enough talk about it.”

Kirihara said, narrowing his eyes.

In Japan, it was also reported early on that the daughter of a powerful politician in the country was caught trading organs in Korea.

Of course, the majority opinion was, ‘He’s a politician with influence, but he’s not famous.’

However, when the news of the attempted heart transplant was revealed, people who knew about the grandson’s heart problem began to secretly speculate that the powerful politician might be the prime minister.

There is no way that Kobayashi, who suffered a crushing defeat by Onodera, would have missed that information.

“Hasn’t it been enough time for Representative Kobayashi to hear the story? I think he already knew why I asked to meet him.”

Even Kobayashi is from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

After Shizuka Onodera was arrested, the embassy phone was always busy with requests to have her returned.

Kobayashi is not the type who doesn’t have a single source of information in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

In addition, I think the government may have contacted the Korean government.

Judging from the fact that there was no mention of Choi Jong-hyun trying to return Onodera’s hat, it seems that even if he had contacted him, it would not have been successful.

“Isn’t politics a place where you hear all sorts of stories? If you make a mistake, you could end up in a difficult situation.”

“That’s not a joke. You have a lot of sources. It’s almost time for the morning papers to be delivered. They were printed a long time ago. It’s ridiculous to say you have no idea what’s going to be published.”

Even Kobayashi, who had been sulking the whole time, ended up laughing.

“Are you talking about the Prime Minister?”

“you’re right.”

“I think you thought I was already prepared. Why did you insist on meeting me?”

“As you know, in Korea, the long-term buyer has not yet been revealed to be Shizuka Onodera. Perhaps they are waiting for us to blow it up first?”

“So isn’t that why you’re sending it out as a morning paper in Kyokuto today? But why me?”

“I think this is your chance to oust the Prime Minister.”

Kirihara said leisurely.

If we want to have peace of mind about the Japanese Prime Minister in Korea, we must start by making him no longer the Prime Minister.

That way, we can reduce the pressure on the Korean government and, at times, make it easier to issue an Interpol warrant.

Personally, I really wanted to see Kirihara Onodera being wanted by Interpol.
