Episode 609

“What did you just say?”

“Let me summarize again. NP saved on the phones of Mr. Oh Jun-hong and Mr. Lim Hyeon-il. It is the code name used by the secretarial team to refer to Chairman Koh Sang-joon. The reason they saved Mr. Kim Soo-chan as NP on their phones is presumed to be because Mr. Kim Soo-chan is like Chairman Koh Sang-joon’s right-hand man. Mr. Kim Soo-chan is currently deeply remorseful for plotting organ trading by selling Mr. Koh Sang-joon’s name, and he admits to all the charges.”

The lawyer moved his tongue smoothly.

Heo Min-woo almost laughed out loud without realizing it.

I was clearly hearing Korean, and even after listening to it twice, I was confused as to whether I heard it correctly.

“Are you claiming that the NP saved on Oh Jun-hong and Lim Hyeon-il’s cell phones is not that of Ko Sang-jun but that of Kim Su-chan?”

Heo Min-woo asked again, taken aback.

Then the lawyer answered calmly.

“Yes. Mr. Kim Soo-chan used his position as a close associate of Mr. Ko Sang-joon to approach Mr. Oh Jun-hong and Mr. Lim Hyun-il. And he made it seem as if Chairman Ko Sang-joon knew everything and would support him. In order to entice Mr. Oh Jun-hong and Mr. Lim Hyun-il, he wanted to use more realistic words, so he used a code name. That is why I think Mr. Oh Jun-hong and Mr. Lim Hyun-il also saved Mr. Kim Soo-chan as a code name for convenience.”

The lawyer had very precise pronunciation and good diction, as if he were an announcer.

That made me even more upset.

This is because these stories, which I had previously refused to understand because they were so absurd, were actually ingrained in my ears.

Heo Min-woo was at a loss for words for a moment and clicked his pen.

“Then how do you explain the dividends paid to Oh Jun-hong and Lim Hyeon-il from the paper company? Were they also sent by Kim Soo-chan? Does that mean that the paper company called RND is also owned by Kim Soo-chan?”

Kim Soo-chan exhaled deeply and closed his eyes.

Then the lawyer answered in a heavy voice.

“You could say that.”

“What is that ambiguous answer?”

“… … It is not solely owned by Mr. Kim Soo-chan. It is a paper company established together with Mr. Park Won-ho, who came to be investigated today. I will also submit related materials later.”

So, it seems that Kim Soo-chan and Park Won-ho decided to take over not only long-term trading but also RND.

Of course, it is strange to only recognize long-term trading and not recognize ownership of RND.

It seems that the approximately two hours it took for Kim Soo-chan and Park Won-ho to make the self-surrender call after the broadcast revealing the code names yesterday was the time they needed to mentally prepare themselves.

It is not a simple economic crime, and it is not something that can be easily resolved to turn it into organ trading.

“This is the phone that Mr. Kim Soo-chan used to communicate with Mr. Im Hyeon-il and Mr. Oh Jun-hong.”

The lawyer placed an old cell phone on the table.

“We will submit them together. The password is 0311.”

If you have decided to commit all kinds of heinous crimes, you should do your best to reduce your sentence even now.

Self-confession and voluntary submission of evidence.

What a touching reflection this is.

“All right.”

Heo Min-woo put the cannon phone in the box and placed his hands on the laptop keyboard.

It may be nonsense, but what can you do?

The report must be written.

Every time I write down this nonsense, I wonder what I’m doing.

“Mr. Kim Soo-chan sincerely reflects on the mistakes he made. When he was first arrested at the scene, he was so shocked that he exercised his right to remain silent, but after hearing the criticism from the media and the public, he realized how serious the crime he had committed was, and he decided to turn himself in together with Mr. Park Won-ho.”

As Heo Min-woo was looking at the laptop screen, the lawyer added.

“You can tell that in court.”

If you show a great deal of remorse from the time of the investigation, it will reach the ears of the reporters and eventually the judge.

“Let’s take a short break.”

Heo Min-woo checked his watch and got up from his seat.

And as soon as I came out of the investigation room, I checked the article on my cell phone.

[Chairman Woo Shin Ko Sang-jun’s secretary, “I instigated the organ trading”]

[“It wasn’t Go Sang-jun or Go Yoon-soo’s doing, I apologize to both of them” Confession of the Secretary Team Leader]

[Woosin Welfare Foundation Never Lied… The Real Culprits of Organ Trafficking Are Secretaries]

[Go Sang-jun and Go Yoon-soo, betrayed by their own people]

At about 10 a.m., the reporters poured in.

It wasn’t because the reporters broke the embargo.

This is because Kim Soo-chan and Park Won-ho called reporters in front of the National Police Agency.

After turning himself in over the phone, he was told to come in for questioning the next day, and it is clear that he immediately contacted the reporters.

‘I’m going to embroider tomorrow, so please come take a picture and make it big enough for the front door.’

In fact, the show they put on in front of the police station in the morning was laughable.

Standing in front of a swarm of reporters with a haggard appearance, he clasped his hands together and repeated four phrases like a parrot: “I sincerely reflect on my actions,” “I apologize,” “I will faithfully cooperate with the investigation,” and “I apologize to the chairman and president who suffered humiliation on my behalf.”

[Top 5 representative cases where jealousy toward conglomerates turned into rash suspicion]

[The fault is always the conglomerate leader? A distorted interest that starts with suspicion]

[The public’s hasty labeling… What are Chairman Koh Sang-jun’s feelings?]

[Stop the suspicions of false accusations, celebrities suffering from rumors]

[Which celebrity in the 2000s suffered from rumors and turned their backs on the world?]

The operation was a great success.

As soon as the article came out that the real culprit was not Ko Sang-jun and Ko Yun-su, but the secretary they treated like their right hand, all kinds of articles supporting them appeared.

Even comparing Ko Sang-jun to celebrities who suffered from rumors and ended their lives, doesn’t that say it all?

People who said that Ko Sang-jun and Ko Yoon-soo were the culprits based on numerous evidences have become believers of groundless rumors.

Those who criticized them were treated as the ugly masses who wanted to see successful people fall.

Despite the fact that no evidence has been made public to support Kim Soo-chan and Park Won-ho’s claims.

“I’m going crazy.”

Of course, I don’t consider this to be the real voice of the people.

It must be the result of the money that Wooshin poured into the media and the hard work of the part-timers he hired to shape public opinion.

Still, it was true that seeing this sight was disheartening.

“Detective Heo.”

Hyun Byeong-ju, who had been standing with his arms crossed behind the magic mirror in the investigation room for hours, monitoring the investigation, caught him.

“Chief.”

As soon as I got out, I checked my phone so I didn’t even realize that Hyun Byung-joo was nearby.

“Look at me for a moment.”

Heo Min-woo followed Hyun Byeong-ju to his room.

The investigation is not over yet, but through the conversations so far, we have a rough idea of ​​their strategy.

“I think I looked for the article as soon as it came out. Is that right?”

Hyun Byeong-ju asked.

“… … Yes. I think I need to check public opinion.”

“Don’t worry about public opinion. Just push forward with the facts as we know them.”

“Chief.”

“You’re going to have a hard time from now on. I know, but Park Won-ho said the same thing to Kim Soo-chan. That’s probably why they came in kissing. And in the text messages that I checked from Lim Hyeon-il and Oh Jun-hong’s phones, they didn’t call NP and BB1 “Chairman” or “President.” They would have talked to them on the phone if possible. They would have submitted it because they wouldn’t have anything to hide. Those two, Ko Sang-jun and Ko Yoon-soo, would have been in their names. There would be a lot of accounts and paper companies in their names.”

“Yes. I’m sure they’ve been preparing and working on this situation from the beginning.”

“That must have been the case. But I don’t think they would have known that this day would come. So there must have been a gap. Those two are acting like they’re admitting everything and being punished, so they’ll hand over all the materials we request. Well, they might say they lost them sometimes. We just have to find a gap in the materials those guys give us. That’ll do.”

Kim Soo-chan’s title is secretary team leader, but his rank is managing director.

The chief secretary of a large corporation’s CEO is often referred to as the real power broker.

Because he is always close to the leader, he knows the leader’s intentions better than his children.

The president’s intentions are always communicated through the secretary team leader, and words delivered to the president are also always conveyed through the secretary team leader.

That’s why he knows the entire situation of his affiliates like the back of his hand, and his calculations are at the level of a supercomputer.

If such people were to undertake this heinous crime, they would have planned it for a long time and made thorough preparations.

This is true even if you just look at overseas accounts and paper companies.

In many cases, investigations are abandoned because it is not easy to obtain cooperation from the country in question.

Therefore, it is highly unlikely that the police will be able to prove that Ko Sang-jun and Ko Yoon-soo are the masterminds of these numerous crimes, surpassing Kim Soo-chan and Park Won-ho, who turned themselves in.

“We used to be the ones who got cursed at. How did you quickly set up the organ trafficking investigation headquarters? You did a good job sending the special forces and arresting everyone. It was refreshing to see you clearly identify the suspects in the briefing. These compliments were rather strange. But it felt good to hear some praise after a long time, right? Let’s use this as motivation to dig somehow. If we dig and dig, we can find a gap. Just investigating these cases without feeling pressure is already a good environment.”

Hyun Byeong-ju tapped Heo Min-woo’s shoulder with his palm.

“That is correct.”

“The powerful men who took on this heinous crime must have been paid a huge amount of money. If we look through the accounts, we might find that they were paid in exchange for turning themselves in.”

“Yes, I will try my best to find it.”

“Don’t look at comments. Do you think that really represents the opinions of all citizens? How can you be sure unless everyone uses their resident registration number instead of their ID? It’s possible that a few guys created hundreds of IDs and are mass attacking.”

“Yes, I know that… ….”

“Yes. So, Officer Heo, just believe the facts that Officer Heo has personally found out and go out.”

“Yes, I understand.”

“Then go now. Eat this and then go into the investigation room. Got it?”

Hyun Byeong-ju said as he handed over a black plastic bag that was on one side of the desk to Heo Min-woo.

When I opened the plastic bag, there were two rolls of kimbap wrapped in aluminum foil.

“I bought it to eat, so you’re giving in. Don’t tell the other kids. You’re going to get teased.”

“I will eat it gratefully.”

“I’m not giving it to you because you’re the prettiest. I’m giving it to you because you seem to be the one who starves the most. It’s a problem if you get it wrong.”

“Don’t be mistaken.”

Heo Min-woo answered with a smile.

Then Hyun Byeong-ju checked the time and pushed him on the back, telling him to leave quickly.

Heo Min-woo bowed and left the room.

I took the elevator that way and went up to the rooftop.

He looked around the rooftop to see if anyone had arrived first.

After making sure no one was there, I took out my cell phone.

And I found Cha Joo-han’s phone number in my recent call history.

─This is Cha Ju-han.

Cha Ju-han answered the phone right away.

Yesterday, Kim Soo-chan and Park Won-ho disappeared from the restaurant, leaving only a message that they had turned themselves in, and since there were a lot of articles about them this morning, they must have been waiting for a phone call.

“Attorney.”

─Yes.

“Now it’s time to start preparing to clean up the wiretapping.”

Cha Ju-han could be heard laughing slightly at Heo Min-woo’s words.

─That’s right. I think… … it’s time.
