You Are Defended - Chapter 618

Episode 618

Before entering the investigation room, Go Yoon-soo changed into the spare clothes prepared by the secretary team member who came with him.

That didn’t mean the pungent smell of raw eggs would go away, but it was something I couldn’t go back to.

Go Yoon-soo was truly doing his best.

To avoid showing displeasure, to avoid showing contempt for others.

“Can I get you a towel?”

Heo Min-woo entered the investigation room, sat down, and asked Go Yoon-soo.

Just now, I saw that raw egg had splashed on the hair that seemed to have been carefully groomed.

You won’t be able to wash your hair, so who knows, you might need a towel.

“it’s okay.”

Go Yoon-soo answered briefly.

Heo Min-woo shrugged and opened his laptop.

Naturally, the last search and seizure did not find any overseas account details or clues containing a large amount of slush funds.

Of course.

Didn’t you replace the hard disk?

Even if you bring in a forensic grandpa, it’s impossible to find anything inside.

What about paper documents?

I could tell how much they had been grinding it right before the search and seizure began, and when I touched the shredder, it was hot to the touch.

The shredder probably had no idea that he would end up suffering from this much overwork when he was sold to the gods.

“Mr. Go Yoon-soo. There is a record of your departure for Narita, Japan on May 19th.”

Heo Min-woo, who had completed procedures such as identity verification before starting the investigation, asked while looking through the documents.

“Is that so?”

Go Yoon-soo responded as if he was listening to someone else’s story.

“Is that so? What does that mean?”

“I can’t give you a definite answer because I don’t remember the exact date.”

Heo Min-woo laughed in vain.

“I see? Then you should remember it from today. You left the country on May 19th.”

“yes.”

“What was the purpose of your departure?”

“Well, maybe it was to visit the local corporation.”

Go Yoon-soo pretended to think for a long time and then gave an ambiguous answer.

“Visiting the local corporation.”

“As you know, I travel abroad frequently. So it is true that it is difficult for me to remember everything. However, the purpose of most of my trips is business trips, so that is why I answered like that.”

“Are you talking as if it were someone else’s business?”

“There are many issues that need to be resolved at the moment, so it is true that it is difficult to remember all the dates.”

“It’s not like Mr. Ko Yoon-soo suddenly became a suspect. Wooshin has been publicly suspected of organ trafficking for a long time. But you’re saying that you didn’t even understand the timeline in this situation? Isn’t the biggest problem that Wooshin has to solve the organ trafficking problem? What problem did you try to solve to ignore this?”

When Heo Min-woo pressed him as if he was amazed, Go Yoon-soo answered calmly.

“It is a well-known fact that there are more than one or two groundless suspicions that Wooshin is receiving. I understand that the criteria for selecting priorities within Wooshin may give the impression that some people are not rational. I am also in a position to receive reports… … .”

“So, Mr. Ko Yoon-soo is just waiting for his employees to report on the issues related to him without taking any action?”

When Heo Min-woo asked, Go Yoon-soo remained silent for a moment as if thinking.

Then, he quickly gave me an answer.

“It is true that the suspicion of organ trafficking is the most important issue facing our agency. However, there are many areas that need to be investigated when investigating organ trafficking cases. I decided that my departure date was a lower priority among them.”

On the night that Ko Sang-jun and Ko Yoon-soo were transferred to the suspects, Cha Joo-han and Kang Min-jae met Ko Yoon-soo.

That day, Kang Min-jae left a comment saying, “When I see that bastard Go Yoon-soo shamelessly and disgustingly sticking his tongue out, I want to hit him. I guess he must have taken lessons on opening his mouth when he was young.”

I think I know why Kang Min-jae said that.

“Well, let’s say that’s true. Then, what did you do after leaving the country on May 19th and seeing the local corporation?”

“I don’t remember very well.”

“Then I should remind you.”

Heo Min-woo played an audio file containing the conversation between Ko Yoon-soo and Onodera.

It started with the scene where Onodera yells at Go Yoon-soo to get on his knees and pours alcohol on his head.

Even though it was quite a humiliating part, Go Yoon-soo didn’t even blink an eye.

Rather, he tilted his head and even rolled his eyes as if trying to remember something.

“You’ve heard this recording, right? This isn’t the first time you’ve heard it, right?”

“Oh, I heard it was quite a hot topic so I looked into it.”

“The conversation in this recorded file took place on May 19. On that day, Mr. Ko Yoon-soo visited the local Japanese corporation and met with former Prime Minister Masao Onodera and former member of the National Assembly Satoshi Oda.”

“… …Is that so?”

“You don’t remember this either?”

Shouldn’t we be suspecting dementia at this point?

Since this is a matter directly related to management ability, it doesn’t seem strange to consider a motion for dismissal.

“Yes. Since my job involves meeting a lot of people and I can’t go on business trips overseas multiple times, I try to take care of everything I can while I’m there. But my schedule is so hectic that I can’t remember everything. I’m sorry I can’t give you a clear answer.”

The expression on Go Yoon-soo’s face as he said those words even seemed genuine.

It seemed as if he felt frustrated because he wanted to answer the police’s questions honestly but couldn’t.

It seems that Go Yoon-soo received acting lessons as well as speech lessons.

“I can’t quite understand it. On that day, Mr. Ko Yoon-soo was greatly humiliated by former Prime Minister Onodera. He seemed to have lost his senses for a moment, to the point of swearing at the interpreter who was nearby. Isn’t this usually an incident that you would remember for the rest of your life? But you don’t even remember that something like this happened?”

When Heo Min-woo asked, this time a lawyer stepped forward.

“Mr. Go Yoon-soo, you don’t have to answer.”

Then he turned his head towards Heo Min-woo.

“I assume you are planning to continue your investigation using the recording file now? Is that correct?”

“But.”

“Former lawmaker Satoshi Oda, who is currently known as the source of the recording file, strongly claims that he never recorded it and that it was wiretapped. If it is true that it was wiretapped, then the recording file has no evidentiary value. And, as you know, losing evidentiary value means that this evidence should be treated as if it never existed in the first place.”

“So?”

“Therefore, I cannot comment on the contents of that recording file until it is confirmed that it was not wiretapped.”

Yeah, that would be the best way.

Heo Min-woo paused for a moment and wrote down what the lawyer said.

The only sound that filled the interrogation room was the sound of keyboard typing.

Heo Min-woo, who put a period at the end of the last sentence, asked Go Yoon-soo again.

“The investigation headquarters examined the files provided by Kim Mi-ja from various angles and found no evidence of wiretapping. We have also requested the cloud operator, from whom Kim Mi-ja uploaded and downloaded the files, to check the server records, so things will become clearer soon. The investigation headquarters has no reason to think that these files were wiretapped based solely on Oda Satoshi’s claims. Can’t Go Yoon-soo just treat evidence as if it doesn’t exist?”

“… … .”

“So can you now present evidence that this file is wiretapping?”

“As Mr. Ko Yoon-soo, I cannot provide evidence because I had no involvement in the creation of the file. However, I believe that it is impossible to determine whether there was wiretapping until the cloud operator’s server records are reviewed and the Japanese police’s investigation is complete.”

The right to remain silent is a fundamental right that a suspect can exercise.

If you suffer any disadvantage due to refusing to testify, you will have to take responsibility for that as well.

Even putting aside the disadvantages in the investigation, if the report comes out after the investigation ends today that ‘Ko Yoon-soo refused to give a statement’, he’ll get a lot of criticism.

Oh, Wooshin didn’t care whether the pigs cursed or not.

Heo Min-woo nodded and wrote down the answer again.

“Then let me ask you something else. Mr. Go Yoon-soo, were you completely unaware of the plan to illegally transplant a heart to Onodera Masao’s grandson?”

“… … .”

“I’m not asking about what you learned through the recording file, but about the questions that have arisen through the investigation so far. Do you know that before Kim Soo-chan and Park Won-ho turned themselves in, there were considerable suspicions against Ko Sang-jun and Ko Yoon-soo? Did you not know at all?”

“… … .”

“Are you exercising your right to remain silent?”

Heo Min-woo asked again.

Still, Go Yoon-soo had no answer.

Heo Min-woo sighed and started typing again.

In some ways, it’s an obvious choice.

If you keep saying you don’t know and the Japanese police say there is no suspicion of wiretapping, wouldn’t you end up just hiding the evidence when there is clearly evidence?

“I thought you were only refusing to testify about the facts confirmed in the recorded files, but I guess not. Okay, I understand.”

Heo Min-woo clicked his tongue inwardly.

Cover the sky with your palm.

Just because you treat it as if it doesn’t exist, does that mean it really doesn’t exist?

There are certainly facts that you have been talking about specifically in your long-term trading plan.

“Then let’s move on. Mr. Ko Yoon-soo was also involved in the attempted murder of Mr. Cha Joo-han by the hired killer, Mr. Chun Jong-nam. He is also suspected of using drugs to knock Chun Jong-nam unconscious and instigating his kidnapping to Japan.”

“I will exercise my right to remain silent about anything that can only be known through the recorded files.”

The lawyer answered on his behalf.

Then Heo Min-woo let out a deep sigh.

“You know, counsel. It’s not too late to listen to what I have to say and then speak. There’s plenty of time. Get my consent and speak. Don’t interfere with the investigation.”

“… … .”

In a typical case, the defense attorney is cautious because he knows that if he gets too involved, he could be seen as obstructing the investigation.

There are also rookie lawyers who often get kicked out of the investigation room because they show too much enthusiasm.

But why do lawyers forget such basic things when they accompany so-called high-ranking officials, even though they have plenty of time?

“Who said that this information can only be recognized through recorded files?”

The lawyer frowned slightly as if he did not understand Heo Min-woo’s words.

“You already know what Cheon Jong-nam said, right? Oh, you probably haven’t checked this because it was lower on the priority list.”

Heo Min-woo took out one of the piles of files on his desk and opened it.

“You know that there were people who tried to kidnap Chun Jong-nam, who had failed in the contract killing and was in hiding? Chun Jong-nam told the teacher’s side that he would pay money and told them where he was, but it was not the teacher’s side that came looking for him, but people he had never seen before. They tried to knock Chun Jong-nam out, but Chun Jong-nam ran away. And they also disappeared.”

This is also something that Choi Jong-hyun and Jo Bong-jun kindly pointed out to viewers who have forgotten the content or are not familiar with it.

Wooshin must be an avid viewer of the show the two of them do more than anyone else, so he must know.

However, Heo Min-woo insisted on giving them another warning out of respect for the concept they were pushing.

“Based on this statement, the police have been tracking the individuals. … … You get what you want, right?”

“Yes. I came across it through an article.”

I came across it through an article.

I sent thugs to kill Cheon Jong-nam, but I couldn’t contact them, they didn’t show up at the meeting place, Donghae Port, and no matter how much I searched, I couldn’t find either the thugs or Cheon Jong-nam, so I was really anxious.

Then, when Cheon Jong-nam admitted to the contract killing and talked about the thugs, we all knew that they were trying hard to track him down before the police.

Aren’t you confused as to whether the punks were being taken by Cha Ju-han or if they ran away on their own?

If Cha Ju-han was with him, Cheon Jong-nam would have turned himself in, but why hasn’t he been handed over to the police yet? I’ve been really busy racking my brain for a while.

Why have you been talking like this is someone else’s business? It’s about you.

… … I want to say.

Heo Min-woo whetted his appetite.

“The people who tried to kidnap Chun Jong-nam recently turned themselves in. They all admitted that Chun Jong-nam’s statements were all true. They were told to put Chun Jong-nam on a ship bound for Japan that was anchored at Donghae Port, and if it seemed difficult to get to Donghae Port, they could just kill him. They went to kidnap Chun Jong-nam.”

“… … .”

“Mr. Go Yoon-soo, do you really not know anything about that fact, or who gave that order, or anything at all?”
