You Are Defended - Chapter 619

Episode 619

11 days ago.

“Oh, lawyer. I’m sorry. I was so busy with the warrant that I didn’t even realize you were calling.”

It was the day when Ko Sang-jun and Ko Yun-su became suspects.

It had been three days since Heo Min-woo was unable to enter the house.

I just now realized that I had received a call from Cha Ju-han a few hours ago.

─You must be very busy.

“I guess so. Now that Ko Sang-jun and Ko Yoon-soo have been transferred to the suspects, things will get busier.”

─Then, I guess you’ve gotten used to being busy to some extent.

“Oh, that’s right. And Minjae sent me some herbal medicine a while ago, so it’s been helping me a lot. Don’t worry too much.”

─I’m glad you’ve adapted. Then, can you be a little busier?

“yes?”

Not long after hanging up the phone, Heo Min-woo could feel deep in his bones why Cha Ju-han had said that.

“So, you’re saying that you received instructions to kidnap Cheon Jong-nam from the Moon Station Inn and bring him to Donghae Port, but someone witnessed the scene?”

“Yes… … . Because that person interfered, Cheon Jong-nam ran away. I chased after Cheon Jong-nam, but when I came back, that person had also disappeared.”

The five secret agents who had been dispatched to kidnap Cheon Jong-nam, who was hiding in the military camp, and hand him over to Japan all came out of their own accord and turned themselves in.

It was already a shared fact that long ago, Cha Ju-han had sent Tae-sik’s staff to secure the new recruits of Cheon Jong-nam and Kknapul.

So, it wasn’t that strange to see them coming to the police station and being investigated.

Wasn’t the original plan to immediately hand over Cheon Jong-nam and those others to the police once a warrant was issued for his arrest?

However, the plan was changed to deceive Wooshin, and handing them over to the police was also delayed by that amount.

So I thought that since there was more time, there might be changes.

No matter what, I didn’t know that you could embroider so beautifully and meekly (leaving out the stories about Taesik’s employees).

“We were also surprised when we unexpectedly lost Cheon Jong-nam… … . We kept running away because we were afraid of retaliation. Then we found out that the reason Woo-shin had made us do that was to keep Cheon Jong-nam’s mouth shut, and we thought that if we got caught, we would really die… … .”

“Okay, then. Then, please tell me in detail about the person who gave the order to put Cheon Jong-nam on the ship to Japan. There must be a name, age, and other information you know.”

“Actually, I don’t know his name very well. I don’t even know his last name… … But I do remember quite a bit about his impressions and the information he usually gave me about himself.”

“Then tell me that.”

After the first investigation was over, Heo Min-woo also checked the statements of the other four people who had turned themselves in.

All the little guys, like well-educated people, only made the necessary statements.

I don’t think there will be any aftereffects.

Anyway, since they are the people that Cha Ju-han sent, I should tell them the results of the investigation.

Heo Min-woo went up to the rooftop and called Cha Ju-han.

─Have you finished your investigation?

As soon as he picked up the phone, Cha Ju-han asked.

“Oh, yes. I thought you might be curious about the results. Fortunately, I didn’t say anything nonsense.”

─Of course it would have been like that.

Sometimes, Heo Min-woo wondered what the source of Cha Ju-han’s confidence was.

I’m not the type of person who takes everything someone says at face value, so how on earth do I accurately determine what they mean?

When you see Choi Jong-hyun and Jo Bong-jun calling him a shaman, it seems like his sixth sense is extremely developed.

─This is Gil Ju-seung.

While I was lost in thought, Cha Ju-han suddenly spoke.

“yes?”

─The guy who ordered those guys to load Cheon Jong-nam on the ship. They must have made a statement, so you should go and catch them. They are currently in room 2901, building 101 of The Central Tower. You can catch them if you go right now.

Heo Min-woo was left speechless.

He stood there blankly for a moment.

“No, sir. I appreciate it, but I’m curious. What exactly do you do?”

Unlike Cha Ju-han and other colleagues who could go all-in on matters related to Woo-shin, Heo Min-woo had a lot to do as a police officer.

Although I was given all the important information, I didn’t know everything about how they worked.

─What is it?

“I suppose it’s because we have such capable staff that we were able to find Gil Ju-seung’s location. But how did you change their minds?”

This isn’t the first time that Cha Ju-han has made everything and packaged it nicely before handing it over.

It wasn’t really surprising.

But is it right to leave that person outside like that?

I guess I’ll have to either go back to the prosecution or get hired as a police officer.

─I even made Cheon Jong-nam turn himself in, so what’s different about those guys?

“That’s true, but… … .”

─Don’t worry. There was no assault or other bloodshed.

“… … Of course you would.”

─You should go catch Gil Ju-seung quickly. Then, when you summon Ko Sang-jun and Ko Yun-su, won’t the content be richer? Oh, since we’ll hear news that Gil Ju-seung has been caught anyway, I guess we’ll postpone the summoning date.

“That’s right, probably. Anyway… … . Then I’ll contact you again. As you said, I’ll be very busy. I think I’ll have to go to the scene of the Moon-yeok incident.”

─Ah. If you go to the station, the innkeeper will give you a picture of the crime scene. There are counterfeit bills scattered around, and it looks like there was a fight. It’s perfect for evidence, right?

Cha Ju-han snickered as he said that.

Heo Min-woo also let out a sigh and a laugh.

Go Sang-jun, Go Yun-su.

I think you guys really messed with the wrong person.

* * *

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

Go Yoon-soo tilted his head as if he couldn’t understand Heo Min-woo’s words.

He had an expression on his face as if to ask why she was telling me this story.

It seemed so real that I was genuinely amazed.

“I don’t know.”

Go Yoon-soo answered without a single mistake as expected.

The concept of not knowing is really annoying.

Heo Min-woo asked again, looking through the documents.

“I see. There was a leader that the five people who were trying to kill Cheon Jong-nam all pointed to. He was Gil Ju-seung. Do you happen to know anything about him?”

“Are you Gil Ju-seung?”

Go Yoon-soo asked back.

“Yes, Gil Ju-seung.”

As Heo Min-woo spoke forcefully, Go Yoon-soo rolled his eyes as if recalling memories and shook his head.

“I don’t know.”

“This man named Gil Ju-seung stated that he received 100 million won in cash in exchange for kidnapping Cheon Jong-nam to Donghae Port on June 2nd. In other words, the person who gave 100 million won to Gil Ju-seung was the person who tried to cover up the murder of Cha Ju-han. Do you understand up to this point?”

“yes.”

Go Yoon-soo answered with an expression as if to say, ‘But why are you telling me that?’

Heo Min-woo is now starting to get used to that kind of attitude.

I’m not really angry anymore.

“And they say it was Wooshin who gave this 100 million. What do you think?”

Go Yoon-soo opened his eyes slightly wide as if he was surprised.

But soon he calmed his expression and answered calmly.

“It is difficult to determine who exactly is being referred to as Wooshin. Wooshin is a corporate group, and a company is also a group of individuals. It is a group of groups. Therefore, there are countless people who can be represented.”

“Mr. Go Yoon-soo. Are you joking? Why do you think I asked you, Mr. Go Yoon-soo?”

“Do you think it’s me?”

“The suspicion is strong.”

Go Yoon-soo made a face that showed he didn’t understand, but soon he slumped his shoulders and let out a long sigh.

“Honestly, I don’t know why you made that judgment.”

And then he suddenly stuck out his flippers.

“The place where Gil Ju-seung was arrested is The Central Tower, a luxury apartment built by Wooshin Industries. To be exact, it is Unit 2901, Building 101. And Wooshin Industries owns that unit. Although it is currently vacant and has no tenants on paper, Gil Ju-seung has lived there for a year. Also, this vehicle that Gil Ju-seung drove. A Benz 4117. It is a Wooshin corporate vehicle. Does Wooshin lend out its corporate-owned house and vehicle to just anyone? Isn’t this a rental contract?”

Heo Min-woo put down pictures of the apartment and the car on the desk.

Go Yoon-soo looked at the photo carefully and then opened his mouth again.

“I don’t know much about corporate-owned homes and vehicles, so it’s hard to judge just by looking at the pictures.”

“Didn’t you say that we already knew that?”

“Yes. So, if that’s what the police found out, then that must be true. What I meant was that it’s beyond my scope to allow someone to use corporate property. I don’t get permission for every single thing like that.”

“Then whose permission do you get?”

“I think we need to check with the relevant department.”

So, what this means is that even people with lower incomes than me can rent out houses and cars owned by corporations like this.

Although he didn’t say it out loud, he probably meant Kim Soo-chan and Park Won-ho, who had turned themselves in.

“Gil Ju-seung received the money at 4 p.m. on June 2, and there was an attempted kidnapping of Cheon Jong-nam at 1 a.m. on June 3.”

“yes.”

“This is the landline phone usage record of Mr. Ko Yoon-soo’s office located in the Usin building.”

Heo Min-woo put the photo aside and took out another document.

This was the content retrieved from the last search and seizure.

“At 2:00 p.m. on June 2, Mr. Ko Yoon-soo called the branch manager of the Geumjeong Bank branch located on the first floor of the Usin building from the office landline. Mr. Ko Yoon-soo said that he would send an employee and asked him to withdraw 100 million won in cash. Do you not remember this either?”

“… … .”

“Then I will continue to tell you until you remember. Ten minutes later, Park Ji-heon, an employee of Go Yoon-soo’s secretarial team, went down to Geumjeong Bank. He showed the ID of Jin Woo-beom, an employee of the strategy office, and asked to withdraw 100 million won from Jin Woo-beom’s account. Surprisingly, the branch manager gave the money to Go Yoon-soo without any verification process, even though it was not his.”

“… … .”

“According to the GPS and base station information on Park Ji-heon’s cell phone, Park Ji-heon headed to Yangpyeong, Gyeonggi-do. And Gil Ju-seung said that he received 100 million won in Yangpyeong from a Woosin employee. When I showed Gil Ju-seung Park Ji-heon’s photo, he said that he was the one who gave the money.”

“… … .”

“Let’s summarize. Mr. Ko Yoon-soo gave money to his secretary team. The employee delivered the money to Gil Ju-seung. Gil Ju-seung took the money and went to kidnap Chun Jong-nam.”

Well, I guess I’ll just keep it quiet for now.

This means that even Go Yoon-soo realized that if he keeps talking nonsense and makes a mistake, he’ll get screwed.

“You said earlier that there were too many people who could represent the group of Wooshins. Then, the scope has narrowed down now. I think you know this well. Mr. Go Yoon-soo, who do you think is the representative of Wooshins who instructed Gil Ju-seung to kidnap Cheon Jong-nam?”

“… … .”

Still no answer.

Heo Min-woo sighed and turned his gaze to the clock.

It’s almost time now.

dripping.

At that moment, I thought I heard a knock and the interrogation room door opened.

A detective came in, whispered briefly to Heo Min-woo, then left, leaving a folder behind.

Heo Min-woo took out a piece of paper from inside and placed it between Go Yun-su and the lawyer.

“Mr. Ko Yoon-soo. Based on the evidence I have presented so far, Mr. Ko Yoon-soo is highly suspicious. In addition, there are circumstances where evidence destruction is suspected, and it is judged that there is a risk of harm to the victim and witnesses. Therefore, I have applied for an arrest warrant, and the substantive examination of the warrant is tomorrow. Please appear by 11 AM. I ask that you give an honest statement in court.”

[Investigation Headquarters, Application for Arrest Warrant for Go Yoon-soo]

[Evidence of kidnapping teacher Mr. Cheon, who committed murder by Go Yoon-soo and Cha Ju-han]

[5 assailants who tried to kill dump truck driver Cheon surrender]

[Go Yoon-soo tried to kill a contract killer to silence him… How far will he go?]

[Can you withdraw 200 million won without your ID? “Go Yoon-soo’s fictitious account”]

[Geumjeong Bank, looking at the conglomerates, will pay a penalty]

After the investigation into Go Yoon-soo was concluded, the police released to the press evidence that had not been made public before and Go Yoon-soo’s investigation attitude.

In particular, when it was reported that Go Yoon-soo was unable to properly explain himself and that he had used his right to remain silent or said he did not remember when faced with a disadvantage, he was met with ridicule.

Even after hearing the recording file, those who served as bodyguards without receiving any money kept their mouths shut, saying, “It’s 100% fabricated” and “Wooshin couldn’t have done that.”

And the next day.

The court issued an arrest warrant for Go Yoon-soo.

“It’s Go Yoon-soo!”

Go Yoon-soo appeared, wearing a prison uniform and tied up with a rope.

He appeared with his head neither bowed nor raised stiffly, and with a blank expression on his face, he silently walked to the escort bus called the chicken coop car.

“During the police investigation, you kept saying you didn’t remember. Is that still the case now?!”

“Do you admit the charges?”

“Did you really try to silence the contract killer who was trying to kill Attorney Cha Joo-han?”

“Please state your position!”

People who had assumed that the warrant would be rejected were shocked when they heard the news.

“Isn’t that the car that Go Yoon-soo was riding in?”

Except for the four people who were standing side by side in front of the office window overlooking the courthouse, holding binoculars and watching the scene.

“I guess so? Oh! Let’s go.”

Kang Min-jae shouted, pointing at the bus that was starting to move.

“Hey, we found a good office. We can see the entire courthouse from here.”

“I don’t regret spending the money on these four pairs of binoculars.”

“I’m going to enjoy Go Yoon-soo’s bean rice. Attorney Kang, please move over a little bit. I don’t think Attorney Cha will be able to see you.”

“It’s not that you can’t see it because of the river, it’s that you can’t see it because of the fetus.”

“I’m behind that lawyer, why can’t you see me?”

“Oh, this is really tempting.”

The chicken truck soon passed the intersection and disappeared toward the detention center.

Kang Min-jae tilted his head forward as if he was going to break through the glass, but it was at an angle that was impossible to see.

“It was a short time, but the 1-person-1-binoculars was an excellent choice. It was worth the money.”

Kang Min-jae said as he folded the stacked boxes of binoculars.

“I know.”

For once, even Cha Ju-han agreed with that opinion.

“Then it’s time to start preparing for the final struggle. Stop playing and disperse.”

Of course, I didn’t give myself any time to indulge in the aftertaste.
