[Special prosecutor who does the best job ever.txt

What happened up to the first report on the 15th day of the investigation

1. Arrest of Ko Sang-jun who was pretending to be sick (it was so much fun)

2. That day, we searched and found the secret space in Ko Sang-jun’s house.

3. Found a pile of over 1000 fake accounts + a criminal shredding evidence with a shredderㅋㅋㅋ

4. Father and son Ko Sang-jun and Ko Yun-su arrested together

5. Find accounting ledgers for Wooshin Industries, Automobile, Life, and Fire

6. It was revealed that all the creative accounting was done under the direction of Ko Sang-jun and Ko Yoon-soo (tax evasion, embezzlement, and breach of trust added to the existing charges)

7. Finding evidence hidden by Ko Sang-jun and Ko Yoon-soo during the last search and seizure

8. 23 more political figures who received money from Wooshin were found, excluding the trash listed in the ledger.

9. It was revealed that Geumjeong Bank was pressured by Woosin and gave them hundreds of bankbooks in exchange for the real-name financial system.

10. Baek Jang-heon, who was acting mean and saying that the statute of limitations had passed after receiving sexual bribes from a fairy, was found out that Woo-shin had been paying for the lease of a personal car until recently, so the statute of limitations was extended and he was arrestedㅋㅋㅋㅋ (This is the article just before)

Every day, they pour a bottle of cider down my throat, so I wonder if this is the country I knew.

Lastly, I attached a video that hit the citizens hard during the actual examination of Ko Sang-jun’s warrant.

What I felt while watching this special investigation is that it is not that our country’s special agencies have been unable to do things institutionally. They could have done it, but they did not.

└I’ll have to go to trial to find out, but this is the first time I’ve felt this excited about investigating such a big case.

└I made up my mind to do it and they kept coming out, but it felt like I was digging potatoes in my grandmother’s field.

There’s still a lot of time left in the investigation period, and judging by the fact that there’s no mention of RND, it seems like they still haven’t found evidence that RND is Ko Sang-jun’s. I hope they do well until the end.

└Still, I think Lee Se-hwa must have let his worries go for now because he pushed for a young special prosecutor, but if he hadn’t done his job, he would have been criticized along with him. Lol

└ It seems like Lee Se-hwa is really humming a tune. If you touch something wrong and it doesn’t work out, you’ll get backlash, but it’s worth it to draw your sword.

Even though there was a lot of evidence, I didn’t know it would be revealed this quickly. It’s the first time I’ve seen it progress so quickly, so it’s amazing

└Before the special investigation began, when I saw articles praising Cha Joo-han for being a prosecutor and a lawyer, I thought it was exaggerated, but now I wonder if it’s true.

└Do you think Cha Joo-han is doing well alone? The dispatched inspectors are special agents who are amazing

└Who said that Cha Joo-han was the only one who was good? ㅋㅋ]

“ruler.”

I skimmed through the pages Kang Minjae had asked me to read and then handed the phone back to him.

“Oh, you haven’t read it all yet? There’s more down below.”

“I saw Kang Byun suddenly looking at his phone and laughing, so I looked at him because I was curious. It wasn’t because he wanted to see me.”

“Seeing things like this gives me strength. Doesn’t that apply to you, lawyer?”

“Who doesn’t like being supported?”

But, despite feeling good, if you only hear good things, you tend to become lax.

“Then look further. It’s more interesting down there.”

Kang Min-jae scrolled down his phone screen and thrust it at me again.

[I am a current teacher, and I was a bit moved when I saw students who couldn’t even tell the difference between the ruling and opposition parties talking about special prosecutors in the morning.

└I was surprised when I saw an elementary school student using Go Sang-jun as a curse word while walking down the street last weekㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

└Since parents curse at Ko Sang-jun a lot at home, the kids seem to naturally learn from it

└No, don’t curse so harshly…

Maybe it’s because the special prosecutor is young, but I like that he personally conducts the first briefing.

└Honestly, when you say you’re good at something, it seems like you’re showing off, lol

└? What are you talking about? Do you think that you are talking about briefing yourself without sending a spokesperson? No way, lol

└Cha Joo-han needs to show off more. It’s so strange how he doesn’t show off with that face.

└Our country is probably the only one that is blushing while conducting a major investigation.

└He’s good at his job, but he’s also handsome, so the reaction is good. If he wasn’t good at his job, there wouldn’t have been this reaction. He would have just disappeared from the entertainment industry. People would have asked why he’s being investigated.

└And it’s not just our country that’s like this. Being good-looking is accepted all over the world. Even foreign news articles and Facebook comments are full of talk about faces. ㅋㅋㅋ I just copied it from the past.

megan : he’s SOOOO HOT

abigail : he looks stunning

alex: i like korean guys now< 3

He answered reporters during the Q&A session in a really cold and stiff manner. He seems to be quite shameless for his age.

└ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋThen the special prosecutor is still investigating that, so it's a bit hard to tell you…ㅎㅎㅎ Please understand~ㅎㅎ Is that how you answer?

└Huh, are you crazy?

└Ugh…

└Are you saying that the person who said that I spoke calmly about criminals is sympathizing with them because he is a criminal himself?ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

└I thought he was really cool because he spoke so firmlyㅋ]

“The content is similar to the previous one.”

I was halfway through scrolling when I handed my phone back to Kang Min-jae.

“What’s similar? They say the lawyer is handsome.”

“Why do you keep making me react like this? It was the same with the interview with Attorney Bong before.”

“It’s funny how the lawyer can’t react to compliments about being handsome.”

“It’s not that I can’t react, it’s that I have nothing to say.”

“That’s it. And why don’t you have anything to say? There’s no need to tell me something I already know. The reason I don’t show off my face is because I stand out so much even when I’m still, so if I show off, my presence will become too big and I’m afraid it’ll bother others. Don’t be surprised by the picture. I’m even more handsome in person. And so on. I have a lot to say.”

I stared blankly at Kang Min-jae, wondering if he was really being sincere.

“Why? If I were a lawyer, I would really say that.”

“Don't make me laugh.”

“You said I was a court official. Do you really think that I, a court official, can’t say that?”

Come to think of it, I think Kang Min-jae could do it.

I threw my cigarette butt into the ashtray and checked the time.

“Be quiet. I’m going in now. It’ll be done when Kim Soo-chan arrives.”

Then Kang Min-jae narrowed his eyes and started laughing.

“Oh, he’s running away.”

“Escape? Should I make you want to run away from the special investigation team by making you busy with work?”

“I’m sorry. Good luck, Special Prosecutor.”

* * *

“Are you not even willing to open your mouth?”

Kim Jong-seok asked Kim Soo-chan, who had his mouth tightly shut and his gaze fixed on the center of the desk.

He had been incarcerated for a long time and had not been able to dye his hair for a while, so his hair had turned gray here and there.

His complexion was not good, and he had lost so much weight that his cheeks were sunken, as if he had suffered a lot.

Comparing it to the photos in the articles or resident registrations that have been released so far, it was hard to believe that it was the same person.

“Mr. Kim Soo-chan, let’s stop. It’s not a good idea to just hold on like this. Now, admit it.”

After a moment of silence, Kim Jong-seok sighed deeply and said.

“… … .”

But Kim Soo-chan still remained unwavering.

He hasn't opened his mouth since the investigation began, except when he was asked to verify his identity.

Although there was a lawyer sitting next to him, he also did the bare minimum.

There was a strong impression that he came not as Kim Soo-chan's lawyer, but as a watchdog.

“What are you so scared of that you’re acting like this? Mr. Kim Soo-chan, do you really plan to turn organ trafficking upside down? The victim rescued from Ribbon Medical Center is 6 years old, and the victim who was used as a test to recruit a doctor for organ trafficking before that is a high school student. They’re both minors. There’s no leniency in custody, and there are only a lot of aggravated punishment factors. If you include the crime of organizing a criminal organization, various types of breach of trust, embezzlement, and intimidation, Mr. Kim Soo-chan’s grandson will not be able to get out until he enlists in the military.”

Kim Soo-chan narrowed his eyes when he mentioned his 'stone-throwing grandson'.

It would be a natural reaction, as Wooshin would have guaranteed the safety and future of his family while also instilling a certain level of fear.

“It’s not embezzlement or breach of trust, it’s organ trading. Even Ko Sang-jun and Ko Yoon-soo can’t even dream of becoming special envoys. But Mr. Kim Soo-chan, do you think there’s a way for you to get out of the way? In this situation, if you still insist on turning it around, it’s no different from committing suicide.”

“Mr. Kim Soo-chan.”

I, who had been quietly watching the newspaper, opened my mouth.

“Even though he is currently in prison, I don’t think he would not know the scale of this case.”

“… … .”

“Besides, even if they continue to hold out, it is not a situation where Ko Sang-jun or Ko Yoon-soo will be free from the charges. If Kim Soo-chan stops here, he will be able to see his grandson enter elementary school. If he is lucky, he will also be able to see him enter kindergarten.”

“… … .”

“RND, who are you scared of?”

“It’s true that it’s owned by me and Director Park Ho.”

Kim Soo-chan, who had kept his mouth shut the whole time, answered in a hoarse voice.

“Is that so? Then, you said that you deeply regret the fact that you used your position within Woosin to embezzle money and persuaded employees of Woosin affiliates to commit crimes. This will remain the case.”

A look of puzzlement crossed Kim Soo-chan's face for a moment at my question.

The time Kim Soo-chan and Park Won-ho turned themselves in was before the sexual exploitation using Angel's House was made public.

At the time of the embroidery, they strongly stated that Ko Sang-jun did not know anything and that they were reflecting on their actions, saying that they were blinded by greed.

After the sexual exploitation was made public, the investigation headquarters called them in to receive additional statements related to it.

From then on, Kim Soo-chan and Park Won-ho exercised their right to remain silent and did not say a word.

I couldn't have been unaware of their change in attitude, and they were still maintaining the same attitude today, so I wondered why they were suddenly asking such a new question.

“… … Yes.”

But I can't give up the claim that I'm reflecting.

Kim Soo-chan nodded.

“Then, I would like to repair the damage caused by the crimes I was involved in and restore things to their original state. Isn’t that true reflection?”

"……yes."

“Then, before you turned yourself in, you took a box full of slush funds from the parking lot of the Jongno office building and left it in your car. Where did you put that? It seems like something absolutely necessary for recovering the damages.”

Kim Soo-chan shrugged his shoulders at my words.

Then, as if he realized that he was agitated, he relaxed his shoulders.

“A slush fund ledger?”

And then he asked back.

When an investigation into slush funds begins, the prosecution first tries to find the slush fund ledger.

That's why I didn't hide from Kim Soo-chan that I knew about the existence of the slush fund ledger.

“There was a tip that Mr. Kim Soo-chan had taken the slush fund ledger from the parking lot of the Usin Jongno office building at around 8 p.m. the day before he turned himself in. I also received a photo of it. It looked quite heavy. He was frowning.”

“… … A box? Do you really think that’s a slush fund ledger?”

Kim Soo-chan sighed as if he was dumbfounded.

“Then what is it?”

“These are the things I brought out after I decided to embroider and cleaned up my desk.”

“What are those things?”

“Just something like the pen I was using or the charger for my phone… ”

Kim Soo-chan wanted to list more, but he trailed off, as if he couldn't think of anything.

The one who was shocked was me.

I replied, crossing my arms.

“There is no time for wordplay.”

“I am telling you the truth.”

“When we tracked the vehicle, we found that he switched vehicles midway and used a cannon vehicle. Do you go to such lengths to hide your pen and phone charger?”

“… … .”

“Even my phone was turned off, so there was no GPS record. Was this a measure to avoid being tracked?”

“… … .”

“Why would someone who decided to turn himself in after reflecting on his actions hide something? How should I interpret the situation where someone who is reflecting on his actions hides something so tightly as office supplies?”

Kim Soo-chan closed his eyes tightly.

“Mr. Kim Soo-chan’s current actions are very contradictory to his claim that he is reflecting.”

Whether or not there is reflection and effort to repair the damage is a sentencing factor.

You probably know why I am telling you this.

This means that the prison sentence you will be sentenced to at this moment has been increased by one year.

“So where did you go with the boxes in your car that day?”

“… … .”

“You said you got home at 2 a.m. that day. You left the parking lot at 8 p.m. Where did you go and what did you do for those six hours?”

“… … .”

“Tell me everyone you came into contact with between 8 p.m. and right before you turned yourself in.”

“I will refuse to testify.”

There was a reason why Kim Chan-young admired him and called him loyal.

Well, would Ko Sang-jun entrust the safekeeping to just anyone?

I didn't think he'd tell me everything right away just because I called him once today.

I sighed briefly.

“Mr. Kim Soo-chan. Since it seems like the special prosecutors haven’t been able to find the real owner of RND, do you think we can just keep lying and holding out like this?”

“… … .”

“I think you already know this, but I called you today to give you a chance.”

From now on, Kim Soo-chan will become very anxious.

Am I bluffing or do I really know what I'm doing?

Since you've experienced me from close range with Ko Sang-jun, you'll be even more confused.

After spending a few days like that, Choi Jong-hyun releases the British Virgin Islands data he obtained from IAIJ.

At that moment, Kim Soo-chan will realize.

I know more than they expect, and that there's no point in struggling to hide Ko Sang-jun.

At that time, you will feel that you have to live, and the location of the slush fund ledger will be revealed.

“I will now conclude the investigation.”

* * *

“Special Prosecutor.”

As I was going into my room, rubbing my sore neck, Lee Ye-jin called out to me in an urgent voice.

She had a very serious expression on her face, so I brought her into the room.

“What's going on?”

“I just got a call, so I think I should report to you first. I wonder what this is… … . Ah, without further explanation, just listen.”

Lee Ye-jin played the file.

[─Yes, this is Special Prosecutor Min Ji-yoon.

─Hello. I would like to make a report.

─What kind of information are you reporting?

─This is a report about Koh Sang-jun’s paper company RND.

─Excuse me, who are you calling from? You may also state your affiliation.

─I am a direct descendant of Ko Sang-jun.

─… …Are you a direct descendant? Could you please tell me who you are?

─I would like to appear and clarify. If you need verification due to concerns about false reports, it would be okay to contact the special prosecutor's investigator first.]

It was Kim Chan-young's voice.
