You Are Defended - Chapter 617

Episode 617

“Why didn’t you say anything?”

I opened my mouth as I got on the opening elevator.

Then Kang Min-jae pressed the lobby floor button and asked.

“What do you mean?”

“Why didn’t you say anything while Go Yoon-soo was talking nonsense?”

“I think you, the lawyer, have more to say than I do. Every minute and every second we spend together is disgusting, and if I join in the chatter, we’ll have to stay even longer.”

He said with a playful laugh in his voice.

“I think Kang Byun would have more to say than me.”

Kang Min-jae lost his only remaining relative, Kang Gwan-woong, to Woo-shin.

On the other hand, I saved my parents when I started this life.

As a result, the only person who lost in this life was Kang Min-jae.

“Does everyone have earphones?”

At that moment, Kang Min-jae looked around at his employees and said something out of the blue.

“Suddenly?”

Taesik asked with a puzzled expression and then took out his earphones from his pocket.

The employees also began to take out the tangled earphone cords from their pockets and untangle them.

Then Kang Min-jae tapped his cell phone.

“Everyone, put on your earphones. Plug in your phone and play the loudest song you know at a volume that won’t hurt your eardrums.”

Despite Kang Min-jae’s sudden order, the employees did as they were told.

I had the volume really high because all sorts of loud music was coming out of the earphones.

Kang Min-jae stood in front of them and spoke, perhaps thinking that they were ready.

“Mr. Taesik is going to cut your pay because he doesn’t have any money. He said that earlier.”

And then he started making up stories.

Taesik and the staff did not object and just looked at Kang Minjae as if they did not understand English.

Kang Minjae turned towards me with a satisfied expression on his face.

“what are you doing?”

“Because I have to keep your secrets, lawyer.”

“secret?”

“As a result, you will think that I am the only one who lost my family, so I must be the one who has more to say out of the two of us. Fortunately, in this universe, both you and your parents are in good health.”

“… … .”

“But even though the world has changed, what you remember is different. In that memory, Wooshin killed both his parents and you. You’ve been remembering that memory for over four years now. So how can I have more to say?”

Kang Min-jae shrugged.

Before we knew it, the elevator on the top floor had reached the lobby floor.

As the door opened, Kang Min-jae stood in front of the employees and pretended to take out his earphones.

But unfortunately, the employees didn’t understand what he was saying.

He just nodded with his mouth, saying, “What?”

They couldn’t hear Kang Min-jae’s words, so they couldn’t figure out why they were muting themselves.

“I told you to take off your earphones now!”

I sighed and got off the elevator, leaving Dumb and Dumber behind.

[Japanese lawmaker Satoshi Oda resigns, “I apologize for causing trouble to the people”]

[Satoshi Oda “I never recorded it”]

[Satoshi Oda’s belated protest: “I was wiretapped”]

[‘Absolutely No Recording, Clear Wiretapping’ Audio File Truth Battle]

Naturally, Satoshi Oda claimed wiretapping at the same time as his resignation.

He also said that he would request the Japanese police to investigate because he was confident.

What’s funny is that Japan is more heckling Satoshi Oda’s wiretapping claims than Korea.

A comical scene was captured of Satoshi Oda carrying his home computer into a police station, and it is said that it is being used as humorous material among Japanese netizens.

[Investigation Headquarters: Foreigners Should Also Be Investigated in Korea]

[Police request former Prime Minister Onodera’s entry into the country]

[Current Commissioner General, if necessary, will issue Interpol Red Notices for those involved in organ trafficking]

Regardless of the suspicion of wiretapping, the repercussions of the recording files were truly enormous.

When Onodera ignored recommendations to come to Korea for investigation, the police also took a hard-line stance.

It was quite unusual for an Interpol red notice to be mentioned so soon after the request for entry.

The investigation headquarters has been staffed, and three additional superintendent-level personnel have been dispatched.

Countless summonses were sent to strategy room and Wooshin Welfare Foundation officials.

[The hard disk drive in the office of Go Sang-jun and Go Yun-su, the father and son, was replaced]

[Attempt to destroy evidence by the family of the CEO?]

[Hard Disk Replacement for Forensics]

[Sorry, I just replaced the PC because it was broken]

[Ko Sang-jun, notified that he cannot appear at the police station due to health issues]

[Request to coordinate the date of summoning Go Yoon-soo]

[Police Summons for Go Yoon-soo Postponed by a Week… Is This Worth the Time?]

Naturally, Ko Sang-jun was admitted to Woosin Hospital in Seoul ahead of his police appearance.

Even Go Yoon-soo, a filial son, postponed the date of summons under the pretext of taking care of his father.

It would be a shame if older figures in politics and business were rushed to the hospital for questioning.

However, I would not recommend having him lie down for too long.

Even if the schedule is postponed, wouldn’t Go Yoon-soo be investigated before Go Sang-jun?

Go Yoon-soo won’t make any meaningful statements when he’s first summoned, but as time passes and more evidence pours in, he’ll betray Go Sang-jun.

It’s a future that can be imagined just by looking at the fact that he met me and proposed negotiations while talking nonsense that doesn’t even make sense.

If I can’t even properly deny the charges to the police and get stabbed in the back of the head by my son, won’t the aftermath be huge?

[Wiretapping files, are they admissible as evidence?]

[Legal expert: “If wiretapping is true, evidentiary power will be lost”]

[Police: No trace of wiretapping in acquired files]

[Investigation Headquarters to actively utilize audio files]

And again, time passed quickly and a week had passed since Go Yoon-soo had worked so hard.

Today, the day of Go Yoon-soo’s police appearance, there was an unusual amount of articles about the evidentiary value of wiretapping files.

The entire nation is predicting whether Go Yoon-soo will admit to the charges.

Since Go Yoon-soo was turned into a suspect because of the recording file, whether he admits it or not will also depend on how the file is treated.

However, Go Yoon-soo probably doesn’t really care whether he admits to the charges or not.

The first priority for Go Yoon-soo, whose agreement with me has fallen through, is to attempt negotiations with Kim Mi-ja.

Of course, that’s only if you can get in touch.

* * *

“When will Kim Mi-ja be connected?”

In the car heading to the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency, Go Yoon-soo asked the secretary sitting in the passenger seat.

“I’m sorry. We are trying multiple routes, so please wait a little longer… … .”

“You know that’s all I keep saying, right?”

Go Yoon-soo, who had lived a life where he could have a conversation with anyone except the president within an hour with just a single word, “Connect this person,” could not understand this situation.

Clearly, a major overhaul is needed in the U.S.

The system is creaking and on the verge of collapse.

“sorry.”

“Fuck, all I can say is I’m sorry.”

Anyway, the revelation of organ trading has already happened.

The chances of finding physical evidence are slim, and it is difficult to draw a meaningful verdict in court based on just the audio alone.

The public will object, but isn’t the judiciary originally a target of abuse?

Even when being investigated, if you insist that you don’t remember, that’s the end of it.

There is one task that Wooshin must prioritize right now.

It is to prevent Kim Mi-ja’s exposure of prostitution.

It seems she has decided to expose everything, even if it means risking all the blame and legal liability that will come her way.

You can tell just by looking at the way he goes abroad pretending to go on a business trip and moves in a planned manner.

When the revelations begin, it doesn’t end with simple sexual bribery.

The expansion of the incident cannot be stopped.

“We will do our best to report to you with the latest developments.”

“Are you going to make me speak in a stereotypical way?”

“… … .”

“Everyone does their best. What matters is that they do it well.”

The easiest way to think of now is to reveal the fact that Kim Mi-ja’s academic background was falsified.

What if it was discovered that she didn’t even have an elementary school diploma, let alone a doctorate?

If everything about her, who was admired by Japanese women for her elegant image, was a lie.

If you weed out the provocative lies she’s told at public functions and spread her seemingly ignorant images or anecdotes online, people will be jumping for joy.

If we take that momentum and brand her with pathological delusion, it will be a pretty worthwhile fight.

No matter how much Satoshi Oda’s status has fallen to the ground, people will trust him more than a pathological liar.

Then, naturally, the possibility that the voice revealed by Kim Mi-ja was wiretapped also increases.

Two problems are solved at the same time.

“How far is it until the police station?”

“15 minutes left.”

However, Wooshin cannot choose this good method with ease.

This is because we must consider the possibility that Kim Mi-ja collected physical evidence of sexual bribery.

Unlike organ trafficking, prostitution did not require wiretapping, as she, the fairy manager, could collect so much evidence.

Wiretapping is excluded even if it is evidence illegally collected by a private individual rather than an investigative agency, but the situation is different for other types of evidence.

Even if she collected the evidence illegally, and even if it makes her a pathological liar, as long as the evidence is sound, it can be accepted.

Ultimately, making her a psychopath out of thin air may be an easy way out, but it’s not a good way out.

“Sir, we’re almost there.”

“I know. Just keep your mouth shut and go.”

But what if you could change Kim Mi-ja’s mind before exposing prostitution?

The story changes.

If Kim Mi-ja, the source of the evidence and the witness, withdraws her decision, even Cha Joo-han cannot force it to explode.

It is a clear invasion of privacy and can be a source of conflict.

Above all, Cha Ju-han, who is obsessed with ethics and justice, would not make such a choice.

“Representative.”

“… … .”

We need to contact Kim Mi-ja somehow before she exposes the prostitution.

We need to let her know that she still has choices she doesn’t know about.

If she stops here, Kim Mi-ja will not be attacked and her ugly past will not be discovered.

The idea of ​​getting what you want without having to take responsibility is a very attractive temptation for the weak-willed Kim Mi-ja.

Will that woman be able to shake it off?

“Excuse me, sir.”

“What now?”

“We have arrived. You must disembark now.”

I guess we arrived before I knew it, while I was lost in thought.

Reporters rushed in and flashed their cameras against the windows.

This was a situation that had been anticipated since the request for a private summons from the police was rejected.

Go Yoon-soo lowered his head for a moment and relaxed his facial muscles.

Then I opened the car door and went outside.

“How are you feeling right now?”

“Are you going to admit the charges today?”

“Satoshi Oda claims that his voice files were wiretapped. What do you think about this?”

“Do you have anything to say to the victims?”

“Do you admit to destroying evidence?”

Go Yoon-soo ignored the reporters who were chattering nonstop.

A few police officers who had been waiting cleared away the reporters who had swarmed the area, and Go Yoon-soo was barely able to speak from a distance away from them.

He walked over to where the microphone cluster was and opened his mouth.

“I apologize for causing concern to the public. I will faithfully cooperate with the investigation.”

And he recited formulaic sentences one after another.

It would be nice if we could just jump in, but we’ll have to give ourselves about a minute to take pictures.

He looked straight ahead with the most apologetic expression possible.

Percussion!

That was when.

Something small flew towards him and hit Go Yoon-soo on the shoulder.

“Wooshin, apologize to the victims!”

“Apologize to the victims too!”

“Get on your knees and apologize!”

This was the beginning.

People mixed in with the reporters started throwing raw eggs.

Knock! Chin! Bang!

Countless raw eggs flew into my shoulders, chest, and arms.

The liquid that was off-putting ran down the sleeves in a sticky manner.

“사과해, 개새끼야!”

“You bastard, you’re worse than an animal!”

The police officers nearby quickly approached and lowered Go Yoon-soo’s body.

And they surrounded him and led him into the police station.

Go Yoon-soo climbed the stairs of the police station as if he was being dragged halfway.

“Ugh.”

As I was moving, surrounded by police officers and pressed down, I tripped on the stairs and stumbled.

Go Yoon-soo looked back reflexively.

Knock! Knock!

The raw eggs that were too far away to reach Go Yoon-soo were broken on the floor.

A pungent smell wafted from all directions.

“And you are still human after doing that?”

“Admit it and apologize!”

Before we knew it, Go Yoon-soo had disappeared into the police station building.

But the voices criticizing him continued.

Even in the place he left, public anger was still raging.
