[Special Prosecutor Cha Joo-han uploads a list of 6 candidates for special prosecutor to the Blue House

The special prosecutors’ team investigating allegations of human trafficking of minors and illegal lobbying by politicians is busy preparing.

On the 18th, Special Prosecutor Cha Joo-han held discussions with the Ministry of Justice regarding future investigative practices.

This morning, Special Prosecutor Cha Joo-han submitted a list of six candidates for the special prosecutor position to the Blue House. It consists of four candidates with experience as judges and prosecutors, and two candidates with experience only as lawyers.

There were rumors that the selection process was difficult because many lawyers had rejected the special prosecutor candidate proposal from the special prosecutor Cha Joo-han, but things picked up speed as word spread that lawyer Ko Il-gook had accepted.

In addition, the special prosecutor’s office completed a lease contract for the P Building located on Teheran-ro and began construction necessary for the operation of the special prosecutor’s team.

The dispatched inspection team is expected to consist of three deputy chief and deputy chief inspectors and seven ordinary inspectors.

Special Prosecutor Cha Joo-han requested the Ministry of Justice to dispatch Park Young-ki, 3rd Deputy Chief of the Seoul Central District Prosecutors’ Office, as the head of the investigation team.

I was so busy that I didn’t even have time to open my eyes.

At the same time as accepting the nomination as special prosecutor, Ko Il-gook also provided great help in identifying suitable candidates for the special prosecutor position, along with attorneys Do Ji-hwan and Chae Geun-soo, who were at the same law firm.

I did a quick filter on that list.

Although all of the people on the list were fine as of 2012, I couldn’t help but consider their experiences in their past lives.

Information about those who were not eliminated was collected by Choi Jong-Hyeon.

If he had ever secretly leaked something to reporters during his active years, tried to get them to treat him, or had a reputation of hanging out with people with bad reputations, he was unconditionally excluded.

Then, Go Il-guk came forward and persuaded people he knew from the list I had confirmed.

Without their help, I would not have been able to complete my list of candidates for special prosecutor.

It took three days to get here.

Of course, the work is not over.

As the article says, we need to request dispatched inspectors and special investigators.

Since Lee Se-hwa contacted me after finding out that the list of candidates for special prosecutor had been delivered, we decided to meet.

“Please send one from the National Tax Service too.”

Originally, this was something that could be done by making a written request to the head of the relevant agency.

This is because the law clearly states that the head of the relevant agency must accept the special prosecutor’s request.

But since there was no other way if the person in question refused, I thought it wouldn’t be a bad idea to get help from Lee Se-hwa.

Because it would be more effective if your direct supervisor said something like, “Hey,” than if I sent a letter.

Lee Se-hwa said with his own mouth that he became president thanks to me, so wouldn’t this be an appropriate amount of compensation for putting him in the position of president?

“The former Commissioner of the National Tax Service is a suspect, so I think we should exclude those who are on that tightrope. Is there anyone who wants to do this?”

“This is Secretary Lee Min-gyu from the Overseas Tax Evasion Information Office.”

At my words, Lee Se-hwa looked through the list and sighed.

“This guy is an ace. He even received an award last year, so I can remember him. How can you tie him up with the special investigation team when there’s so much work to do?”

“Please give it to me anyway.”

The National Tax Service’s Overseas Tax Evasion Information Office was established in 2011 by expanding and reorganizing the existing Overseas Tax Evasion Tracking Center.

As of 2012, it is difficult to say that there have been any significant achievements, but Secretary Lee Min-gyu, who was appointed as the person in charge, passed the officer recruitment.

First of all, Lee Min-gyu is one of the special investigators who was dispatched to the special investigation team in his previous life.

He excelled in tracking foreign accounts.

So, at that time, the special prosecution was really a done deal.

If only Hwang Young-chan hadn’t missed his nose.

“The IRS is going to be pissed. Okay. What about the rest?”

“We also need Superintendent Heo Min-woo from the investigation headquarters of the Gwangsu Police Station, who was in charge of the previous investigation. Just like when we set up the investigation headquarters, please ask Superintendent Hyun Byung-joo to recommend Superintendent Heo Min-woo and select the aces.”

“I knew they were going to take Inspector Huh, but if they take all the aces from the special investigation team, who will maintain our country’s security? Oh, I said I would help Special Investigation Cha for nothing. I’ll be the only one getting blamed.”

Lee Se-hwa playfully glared at me.

“But the dispatch inspection hasn’t been set up yet? There’s no list.”

Lee Se-hwa asked while looking through the documents I had handed her.

“There are some people I have in mind. However, I need to confirm their intentions and fill more positions.”

Lee Se-hwa nodded and closed the file.

“Special investigation into tea.”

“yes.”

“I guess you’ve lived a good life.”

It was a sudden remark.

When I looked at Lee Se-hwa, she smiled.

“He’s stiff, he can’t flatter, he can never say anything wrong, and he’ll immediately attack you if he thinks there’s a problem, whether you’re a senior or not. Judging from his personality alone, he doesn’t have any likable qualities. But my seniors help me out a lot. I’m the same way.”

“I appreciate it.”

“In times like these, people try to find one more flaw, and try to drag down the junior by saying that he is trying to manipulate the senior. You must have experienced the special prosecutor Cha.”

“… … .”

“I will always remember this moment as I live my life. When the special prosecutor Cha looks at me cynically, I will always remember that there were people who believed in me and helped me until the end, and people who understood my sincerity despite my clumsy expressions. Then, my life will be a little easier than it is now.”

* * *

Jiiing.

After parting ways with Lee Se-hwa, I was on my way to my next destination.

I got a call from Heo Min-woo.

“This is Cha Ju-han.”

─Oh, that’s really too much. Are you really taking me to the special investigation team?

Heo Min-woo shouted out of the blue.

I think I heard the news that you were being drafted as a special investigator.

“Yes. I will take you.”

─I still sleep about 4 hours a day on average. What if I die like this?

Even though you say it like that, I know what you want to do.

“I sent you a test kit. Please eat and come back.”

─A resonance diagnosis? Suddenly?

“Where did you learn this? Take it on an empty stomach, and keep only 14 days’ worth, and freeze the rest.”

─What the… … all of a sudden.

“But it didn’t taste very good.”

─… … .

After hanging up the phone with Heo Min-woo, I found myself in front of the restaurant where we had met.

Because there was another person I had to meet to prepare for the special prosecution team.

As I got out of the car, Kang Min-jae’s car was also entering the parking lot.

“Attorney!”

Kang Min-jae got out of the car and approached me, waving his hand.

The clerk took us to the front of our reserved room.

I arrived on time, but judging by the two pairs of shoes there, it seemed like the people I was going to meet had already arrived.

“Special Prosecutor, please come in quickly.”

As I entered the room, Lee Ye-jin said.

Kim Jong-seok also raised his hand and pretended to know.

These are the two people I have chosen after Park Young-ki when selecting dispatched inspectors.

Kim Jong-seok originally said he didn’t like me very much, but he confirmed that he didn’t like me anymore at the alumni meeting he attended on the day he raided Ribbon Medical Center.

He is also the person who publicly supported me by telling his juniors who were gossiping about me in the cafeteria of the prosecutor’s office, “Instead of feeling inferior to Cha Joo-han, feel a sense of indebtedness.”

He, who was in the Supreme Prosecutors’ Office, is currently the head of the 2nd Special Investigation Division of the Seoul Central District Prosecutors’ Office. He is evaluated as an ace within the prosecution service because he is without a single flaw in terms of family background or ability.

“It makes me uncomfortable when you say things like that even in private.”

As I spoke while sitting in the empty seat, Lee Ye-jin laughed.

“It’s been a long time since I’ve seen you both.”

“I’m really sorry I couldn’t say hello to you on the alumni reunion day.”

As soon as Kang Min-jae saw Kim Jong-seok, he lowered his head.

“It’s okay. Special Prosecutor Cha told me to speak comfortably in private, so I’ll do that.”

“Please do so.”

“You said you requested that Deputy Director Park Young-gi be dispatched as an inspector.”

“Yes. I would like to invite you as the investigation team leader.”

“The deputy chief is very fond of special prosecutor Cha, so he would do that. But the people you have in mind, the deputy chief, this pro, and me, are all people from the Central District Prosecutors’ Office, right?”

“We plan to select the remaining seven dispatched inspectors evenly.”

“I see… … .”

Kim Jong-seok nodded and stopped talking.

Lee Ye-jin received my fortune and told Kim Jong-seok about the dispatched prosecutor, and that’s how we ended up meeting each other…

It is uncertain whether he will accept it.

“Among the three special prosecutors, unless there are any changes, I think Attorney Ko Il-guk will be included?”

“That’s right. Usually, the senior special prosecutor also handles public relations, so if Mr. Ko Il-guk becomes attorney, wouldn’t he also handle public relations work?”

Lee Ye-jin answered on his behalf.

Kim Jong-seok nodded.

“You’re smart.”

And then he smiled at me and said:

“The tea leaves are so clean.”

Looking at Lee Ye-jin’s attitude, I could feel how much effort she had put into persuading Kim Jong-seok.

“Isn’t the official investigation start date 10 days later?”

“yes.”

“But we need to look into it before the investigation starts. When do you plan on starting?”

“The president said he would proceed with the appointment of the special prosecutor tomorrow, and I plan to do it seven days in advance. However, the dispatched prosecutors can come in from the official opening day. It would be better if they came earlier.”

“Hmm… … . I’ll just be honest.”

Kim Jong-seok continued speaking without hesitation.

“Being a dispatched prosecutor doesn’t have much benefit for us active prosecutors. Is there a lot of work for the special investigation team? Even if you return after the hit-and-run, there’s nothing special… … All you can think about is catching the eye of the deputy chief of the investigation team? You’ll be promoted to chief prosecutor.”

“Then, senior, since there aren’t many people who accept, do you think it will take a long time for the special investigation team to dispatch prosecutors? The remaining seven dispatched prosecutors will be regular prosecutors, and aren’t all of the regular prosecutors your peers or juniors? That’s why I thought there wouldn’t be a big problem with the dispatched prosecutors… … .”

Kang Min-jae said in a worried voice.

“Since the president is pushing hard for this special investigation, anyone who wants to get involved in politics will do so without hesitation. But that’s not the style that Special Prosecutor Cha wants, is it?”

I nodded to Kim Jong-seok’s question.

We know that it is impossible to completely castrate human desires.

I thought it was a stroke of luck that I had gathered so many people who only cared about justice.

Even if it is right to aim for justice, people cannot help but expect additional compensation.

“It may be Special Prosecutor Cha’s greed to try to make someone too clean. Of course, there are prosecutors who are 100% pure. But there’s no guarantee that they will do their job well. Special Prosecutor Cha will also want to select someone who is good at their job. No matter how good the intention is, the goal is achieved only when the results are good.”

“I understand what you mean.”

“I heard that Prof. Cha is worried about filling the number of prosecutors dispatched. He is already a character who receives a lot of hate.”

Lee Ye-jin shrugged her shoulders and added to Kim Jong-seok’s words.

“It’s true. Don’t feel bad about it.”

“I don’t think so.”

“I think the manager has already helped you, but if you need more, please refer to this. These are the level of inspections I personally experienced.”

Kim Jong-seok placed a piece of paper on the table.

“They are people who think in a similar way to Special Prosecutor Cha and are good at their jobs. That’s how I see it. Sometimes they disobey orders without any reason. But they are logical and only say the right things. These kids here will work hard if you call them, even if they don’t know anything else. Even if they have a secondary purpose, you can just suppress them so they can’t mess with it.”

[truth]

I glanced over the paper that Kim Jong-seok had handed me.

Although the number was not that large, there were quite a few people who overlapped with the people Park Young-ki recommended.

I often saw people who were under me in my past life and who I remember.

“Thank you, senior.”

“excuse me…….”

Then Kang Min-jae carefully intervened.

“Huh? What are the adults talking about?”

Lee Ye-jin looked at Kang Min-jae with a chuckle.

“… … No, but it’s better to make sure. I guess you’ve decided to come as a dispatched inspector, right? Senior Lee Ye-jin will come, of course.”

“Why am I a given? You want to convince me. Cha-Byeon, say something that will appeal to my taste. Quickly.”

Lee Ye-jin looked at me with a face full of complaints.

Then Kang Min-jae smiled and said.

“You said that you didn’t enjoy going to work because you enjoyed seeing the handsome faces of lawyers taking off their clothes. But now that you’re on the special prosecution team, you’re enjoying it.”

“Ha, you punk. You can’t even speak.”

Kim Jong-seok, who was listening to Kang Min-jae and Lee Ye-jin’s conversation, smiled faintly and answered.

“There were times when I misunderstood the special prosecutor, and I feel sorry, and I feel indebted, so I’ll go in thinking that I’m paying it back. I also need to speak with confidence about justice. I don’t think I’ve ever done that since my first term. I won’t be able to do it as I gain more experience.”

[Special Prosecution Team Wooshin Holds Ceremony Today]

[Special investigation team said there would be problems with personnel selection… personnel selection completed at a rapid pace]

[President’s remarks on ‘no culture above the Constitution’ influence special investigation team selection]

[Special Prosecutor Ko Il-guk, “There is no room for doubt about Special Prosecutor Cha Joo-han’s qualifications and abilities”]

The special prosecutor’s office is located in a building on Tehran-ro.

Although we rented three floors, the hallways are not very wide.

I stood in front of a hallway full of reporters, in front of a sign covered with a white cloth.

Three special prosecutors, including Ko Il-gook, and Park Young-gi, head of the 4th investigation team, sat on either side of me.

As I began this life, I prepared to fight alone again, with a few like-minded people, just like in my previous life.

However, in order to stand here in this position without much noise, I ended up receiving help from many people.

I died at age 44 in my previous life.

And I lived this life for four years.

It was only after living for 48 years that I realized that I had been living an unnecessarily lonely and difficult life.

“One, two, three!”

As Heo Min-woo, who was standing outside the camera angle, shouted for the three, Go Il-gook and I pulled the string attached to the cloth.

Then, flashes of light went off without pause, revealing the sign.
