Episode 604

“Are you going to help me now? I thought you didn’t like me very much, reporter?”

Kobayashi responded to Kirihara’s words as if he had heard a strange story.

It was very direct.

Kirihara responded with a smile.

“To be honest, I don’t support it. But I think it would be better for you to become prime minister rather than Masao Onodera. Please think of it as me proposing a strategic partnership.”

“I appreciate it, but will this really blow up? Even if he was caught in the act, I know that Wooshin has a huge amount of influence in Korea. Even from what I’ve heard in Korea, it seems like the CEO was directly involved. Wouldn’t it be hard for this to blow up? I think he’ll try his best to cover it up.”

“Then you’re not going to put pressure on me to resign?”

“If it explodes, the Prime Minister will have to step down anyway even if he stays still, and if it’s not going to explode, what good will come from me stepping up?”

“If it was only an economic crime, it could have been covered up. But you know what happened, right? Economic crimes are just a form of entertainment. It will explode 100%. And when it explodes, it won’t end with just one prime minister. The Gyeongminhoe will be blown up. At this time, if you, the assemblyman, come forward and condemn the Gyeongminhoe within the ruling party, wouldn’t that prevent a change in government?”

“Surely it won’t go as far as replacing the ruling and opposition parties. It will probably end with a change in factions.”

“Even if the factions change, I think the next prime minister will be the vanguard of the suppression of the Kyungminhoe. If Rep. Mori of the Cheongjihoe is the vanguard first, there is a high probability that Rep. Mori will gain support. It will be the worst scandal.”

In Japan, where it is common for the ruling party leader to become prime minister, becoming president in a situation where the ruling party may lose trust could actually be a bad move.

There’s no way to know how long it will take to stabilize.

Even if he becomes prime minister, there is a high possibility that he will be pressured to resign if he gets bored.

If the ruling party fails to regain trust and loses the next general election, he may also be forced to resign.

So, it could not be ruled out that Kobayashi might not run in the next presidential election in order to avoid taking on that risk.

There is still quite a bit of time left until the general election, so I don’t know what he is thinking.

Nonetheless, in this situation, it is right for him to display his specialty, showmanship.

If you don’t like the next Prime Minister position, shouldn’t you wait for the next opportunity?

Opportunities to improve one’s image by gaining public support do not come often.

“What else is there? Isn’t organ trading the end?”

Kobayashi seemed to sense something strange when Kirihara made his assertion and asked in a quiet voice.

To be honest, for Kirihara, Kobayashi and Morina were just average people.

In that case, you should choose a solicitor who has a higher chance of success.

She said this with a leisurely smile, as if she had no regrets.

“I’ll just say no. I can’t give you any details yet. But I’ll stake my career as a journalist on it.”

The morning paper will soon reach newspaper outlets closer to you.

We need to start holding emergency meetings now so that we can quickly take action while public opinion heats up.

Kobayashi was lost in thought.

“I will also go to the National Assembly today. Depending on how Representative Kobayashi speaks to the press, I will decide whether or not to pass this proposal on to Representative Mori.”

“Are you threatening me?”

“No. I’m just helping you decide.”

Kirihara stood up from his seat, looking at his watch.

“Then I’ll see you later at the National Assembly.”

Kirihara bowed his head in greeting and left the room.

It will soon be revealed that the long-term buyer in Japan is Shizuka Onodera.

If an article was published in Japan, it would have been followed by a series of articles in Korea as well.

From then on, the ruling party must strongly demand the resignation of Masao Onodera.

If the Japanese ruling party strongly insists that the inhumane president be appropriately punished, then isn’t there no need for Korea to show mercy to the former prime minister that Japan threw away?

* * *

[Mother and son arrested for attempting organ trafficking in Korea, “They were the Prime Minister’s daughter and grandson!”]

[“International Disgrace!” Kobayashi fiercely criticizes the Prime Minister]

[“No need for excuses, resign immediately” Kobayashi’s face reddens]

[Prime Minister’s Office “Silence”, All Schedules Cancelled]

[Opposition coalition calls for resignation of criminal prime minister]

[Mr. Kobayashi, “I have never seen a prime minister like this on Earth”

[“There is a possibility that the daughter committed the crime alone”, will Mr. Chiba protect the Prime Minister?]

[The Prime Minister has not taken a single step out of the official residence]

When the Kyokuto Shimbun newspaper reported in its morning edition that the foreigner caught trading organs in Korea was Shizuka Onodera, Japan was turned upside down.

All day long, articles and reports poured in.

The electronic billboards on the main street, the TVs and radios in restaurants, and the numerous TVs displayed in electronics stores were all talking about the Prime Minister.

Naturally, the reporters gathered at the Prime Minister’s Office and the Diet Building, and the first person to be caught in their net was Kobayashi.

Kobayashi stood at the very front, made eye contact with Kirihara, who was holding the microphone toward him, and shouted at the Prime Minister.

Starting with this, other ruling party faction members and the opposition party also raised their voices, saying that they had been waiting for this to happen and that they should resign.

It was no different in Korea.

[Foreigner who trades long-term, ‘Japanese Prime Minister’s daughter’]

[The Truth About Organ Trading, “An Uncomfortable Deal with the Japanese Prime Minister?”]

[Japan, the culprit is the prime minister’s daughter, not related to the prime minister]

[Who is behind the attempt to sell the hearts of domestic children to the Japanese Prime Minister?]

[Japanese people shocked by report that their own prime minister engaged in organ trading]

[Japanese Embassy, ​​“Send back the Prime Minister’s daughter and grandson immediately” Unconscionable attitude]

When the news that the culprit was the Prime Minister’s daughter was made public around 3 or 4 in the morning in Japan, it took less than 10 minutes for the news to reach Korea.

When major media outlets heard that the culprit was the daughter of a powerful Japanese politician, they gave special orders to their Japanese correspondents to gather information, so they were just waiting for Japan to publish the article.

As a result, reporters swarmed like bees at Woosin Hospital, Woosin Group headquarters, and even Go Sang-jun’s home.

Naturally, the same was true of the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency, where the investigation headquarters was established.

“What about the chief?”

“I said I was going to the bathroom.”

The detective said, pointing to the end of the hallway.

Heo Min-woo glanced around the briefing room, which seemed to be about to burst.

“What about the press release?”

“Hoon-seok and Ji-young will be taking turns right now.”

“Did you tell me to pick enough so that there isn’t too much? It seems like there are too many.”

“I looked at the press room and it looked like it was completely homeless.”

It has been only two days since Choi Jong-hyun and Cho Bong-jun reported on TV that Oh Jun-hong had attempted to recruit medical staff but failed and ended up murdering them.

Because Oh Jun-hong’s house was secretly searched and seized, news of the search and seizure was not broadcast until the next morning.

Since then, people have been harassing the police.

They want to know what they found in Oh Jun-hong’s house, whether Oh Jun-hong really instigated the gas explosion, and who else is above Oh Jun-hong.

“There’s that investigative broadcast. The one with reporter Choi Jong-hyun and Apollo.”

“huh.”

“I really appreciate it. You provided evidence that made it easier to understand, and you cooperated in many ways.”

“however?”

“I feel like I’m going crazy because you keep giving me so much to do. It’s our wedding anniversary soon, so I made a reservation at a restaurant a month ago, but I don’t know if I’ll be able to go there.”

“When is your wedding anniversary?”

“Next Monday… … I made a restaurant reservation for Sunday.”

“Hey, it’s too early. I think they’ll tell you to go in about two weeks, depending on how things are going. Can’t you postpone it?”

“Yes. Well, there’s nothing I can do.”

We’ve already hired more staff, but we still need to borrow a cat’s paw.

Heo Min-woo couldn’t just say something to the effect of telling her to go and come back.

As for Heo Min-woo, who knew their position, he knew very well that they were considering the police in their own way.

They called me every day, every now and then.

To ask when the next broadcast will be.

“Coming!”

Then one of the reporters who was sticking his head out of the briefing room door shouted.

Hyun Byung-joo was walking into the briefing room.

As soon as he stood in front of the microphone, the flash went off.

Even though it was blinding, Hyun Byeong-ju opened his mouth without blinking.

“This is Chief Inspector General Hyun Byung-joo. Before we begin, many media outlets have revealed the identities of the organ buyers arrested at the scene of the attempted organ trafficking. I understand that the public is expressing great concern as a result. Our investigation headquarters promises to conduct a fair investigation without any additional or lessening, and to do everything in its power to uncover the charges.”

That’s all the police could say right now.

Now that we know who the beneficiaries are, we cannot ignore this.

Perhaps during the Q&A session, reporters will ask heated questions about the Japanese Prime Minister, so you can mention more there if necessary.

“Today’s briefing will be conducted based on the press release we distributed.”

Sarak.

Numerous reporters handed out press releases at the same time.

“I will tell you about the results of the search and seizure of the home of Oh Jun-hong, the head of the planning and coordination office at Seoul Woosin Hospital.”

It was the first time the two letters of the name Wooshin came out of the police’s mouth.

Not only that, the three characters of Oh Jun-hong’s name were revealed as they were.

This means that Oh Jun-hong’s charges have been confirmed.

After a brief moment of surprise, the reporters started typing on their laptops as if they were going to break them.

“When Oh Jun-hong was summoned as a witness, he arbitrarily submitted his cell phone, and there was absolutely no criminal information on this cell phone. However, we were able to find a cannon phone through a house search and seizure. At the time of the seizure, Oh Jun-hong claimed that it was not his cell phone, but our investigation team confirmed through investigation that the actual owner was Oh Jun-hong.”

Oh Jun-hong, who shamelessly claimed that the cell phone he found in the fish tank was not his, had a confident look on his face even when he unlocked the device.

The same thing happened when the police backed up text messages, call history, and messenger history.

But there was something he missed.

It was a call to order delivery from a Chinese restaurant, which was probably made without much thought.

It is estimated that Oh Jun-hong used this cannon phone for about a year, and he made delivery order calls in August of last year, January of this year, and March of this year.

Based on this call history, I contacted the restaurant to confirm the delivery address.

It seems that Oh Jun-hong was a regular at the restaurant, as records of his orders appear on his cell phone more than 50 times.

So, it is true that he usually only used his own cell phone.

However, when I couldn’t find my phone, the battery was dead, or I couldn’t use it for any other reason, I used this portable phone to call a Chinese restaurant.

I guess he never expected that he would get his tail stepped on because of a restaurant.

Oh Jun-hong was such a regular that he got free lamb shanks twice using coupons he collected from this Chinese restaurant.

That’s why the restaurant knew Oh Jun-hong, and they thought this Daepo phone number was his, so they saved it together with his phone number.

And the game was over when the delivery man hired by the restaurant showed Oh Jun-hong’s photo.

The timing was very good.

If it weren’t for Choi Jae-hoon and Jeong Ji-min, and if it had been just one more day later, I might not have found this cannon phone.

This is because among the messages he exchanged, there was a statement that he would get rid of his Daepo phone in the near future.

He also arbitrarily submitted a cell phone in his name, and the police have not been able to find Lim Hyeon-il’s stolen phone. The warrants have been rejected time and time again, so he thinks it is unlikely that he will be caught with a stolen phone, but he said that it needs to be nipped up.

“The investigation headquarters confirmed the contents of the messages exchanged between Oh Joon-hong and the attending surgeon, Lim Hyeon-il, head of the surgery department at Wooshin Hospital in Seoul, who was arrested at the scene of the organ trafficking incident last August, using this cannon phone. In addition, it was confirmed that the Gangnam gas explosion incident, which was previously revealed through a certain Internet investigative media outlet, was an accident artificially created by Oh Joon-hong and Lim Hyeon-il in order to murder the deceased. Please refer to some of the messages exchanged between Oh Joon-hong and Lim Hyeon-il, which are attached to the press release.”

Once again, the sound of rustling and rustling could be heard here and there.

The reporters who checked the attached messenger content were in an uproar.

“Based on this, we were able to identify Lim Hyeon-il’s previously undiscovered cannon phone, and based on base station information, we were able to find and recover Lim Hyeon-il’s cannon phone. As a result, we confirmed that on the day of the attempted organ trafficking incident, after preparations for the surgery were complete, Lim Hyeon-il sent messages to an unknown person saved as NP and BB1, reporting the situation. The contents of this message are also included in the press release.”

Sararak, charak, sarak, sak, chak.

The reporters quickly turned the pages.

“It was also confirmed that there were several calls to NP and BB1 immediately after the police raid. In addition, there were records of these two numbers being saved under the same name on Oh Jun-hong’s cell phone and making several calls. We tracked the cell phone of an unknown person saved under NP and BB1, but it was confirmed to be a counterfeit phone. Our investigation headquarters is currently investigating the possibility that NP and BB1 supported or instigated organ trafficking.”
