408.
“The Office of International Cooperation will work hard to support and promote Kang Hyun’s resolution of the ‘Song Doo-seung case’ to each country so that it can become an ‘example of the development of the prosecution organization’ at an international level.”
The first reward that Kang Hyun felt for his efforts was the support of some members of the Supreme Prosecutors’ Office.
At that time, one of those called ‘the eyes of the Supreme Prosecutors’ Office’ as promised during our past meeting.
Park Ji-soo, the international cooperation officer, immediately set up an interview with a magazine and began praising Kang Hyeon’s activities in the ‘Song Doo-seung incident’.
Although it was an interview with a small academic journal and a magazine specializing in policy, it was effective enough because it ultimately amounted to an official statement of support for Kang Hyun from the Supreme Prosecutors’ Office.
In addition, the actions of the Supreme Prosecutors’ Office officers and research offices were carried out in succession.
The Supreme Prosecutors’ Office’s Office of the Inspector General and its research staff began to officially issue a statement of gratitude toward Kang Hyeon.
They supported Kang Hyun’s ‘Song Doo-seung case’ under the pretext of breaking the bad habits of the prosecution organization and taking the first step toward reform.
This movement began to produce ‘big results with little effort’ results.
People said.
-Some groups in the Supreme Prosecutors’ Office started it.
-They will later elect Kang Hyeon as president.
It was a completely opposite move from the nine departments, including the ‘Secretariat’, who were crouching silently like mutes who had eaten honey.
– This is an action to reflect on the mistakes made in the past and not repeat them. I send my deepest condolences and gratitude to Mr. Song Doo-seung, and I hope that Prosecutor Kang Hyeon will continue to take the lead in the development of the organization.
This praise was the official statement of the Supreme Prosecutors’ Office’s Criminal Policy Division, which had not been seen in the press for several years. It was, in fact, an absurd statement.
Moreover, this alone would be enough to turn the prosecutors’ offices across the country upside down, but it was shocking that this wasn’t just one or two cases.
– This is an announcement from the Criminal Information Office 1. The press release on the ‘Song Doo-seung Case’ by Prosecutor Kang Hyeon of the Central District Prosecutors’ Office has been officially distributed to the press. Please actively use it in your article writing, newspaper, and news reporting.
The ‘Spokesperson’s Office’, which is virtually under the president’s direct control, is silent, but the Criminal Information Office is excited.
I guess there might have been some business-related conflict, but that didn’t really matter to the reporters.
The difference between a flyer and an article is where the content comes from.
That is the difference in ‘credibility’.
In a world where even a single word from a powerless employee within the prosecution office can be turned into an article, what if there were materials that were painstakingly created and distributed directly by the Supreme Prosecutors’ Office’s Criminal Information Office?
The media will have no choice but to gather around, drooling, as they will only have to eat the rice cakes that are thrown to them.
Following this, the Human Rights Policy and Planning Offices provided various small-scale support, including ‘thank you letters’ that are often very helpful for promotions and evaluations within the internal system, and each research office continued to provide support for Kang Hyun.
In addition to that.
Okay.
Letter of recommendation.
“I recommended you as the Chief of the Supreme Prosecutors’ Office’s Narcotics and Organized Crime Division. It wasn’t just one person. It was the opinion of all the researchers in charge. What favor did you win that made the Supreme Prosecutors’ Office’s Office of the Inspector General act like this?”
These were the words of Jeong Ji-eun, who had returned. She was genuinely surprised and blinked her eyes as she asked Kang Hyun.
“Is there anyone in high office who is related to you by blood?”
“No way.”
“Do you know anyone who owes money?”
“Well, it’s similar.”
“Huh? Are you into politics?”
“No, you know.”
She didn’t believe Kang Hyun’s words and hesitated slightly. He was a proven prosecutor in terms of his work and case-solving skills, but when did he start to stand out in politics?
Despite Kang Hyun’s ambiguous answer, Manager Jeong Ji-eun nodded as if she understood something and began to unfold the strategy she had prepared.
It was the so-called ‘don’t go, stay here’ strategy.
“So, you’re not going to the Supreme Prosecutors’ Office?”
“You don’t know that?”
“Yeah. You made a good choice.”
“…I said I didn’t know.”
“We were already considering moving you to the position of Division 4 Commander. Move up one position immediately.”
“That’s a bit… I’m not going, so don’t do that all of a sudden.”
When Kang Hyun laughed like an old man, Jeong Ji-eun smiled along.
This situation gave him the opportunity to be promoted to the position of Chief of Staff and quickly rise to the position of Vice-President.
She always hoped that Kang-Hyeon would do well, but she still wanted him to be here.
Fortunately, Kang Hyun had no intention of going. He had already finished the recommendation by expressing his gratitude to Manager Park Ji-soo and others.
In other words, Kang Hyun was qualified to be ‘elected’ because he had fulfilled the Supreme Prosecutors’ Office’s wish for ‘liberation’ to some extent, but he ultimately declined their nomination and decided to wait for the next opportunity.
“I’m not going now. Maybe later.”
“Later?”
“Yes. You will continue to receive support, and there will definitely be opportunities in the future.”
Kang Hyun knows that their help will not end with this one time. It will continue in the future.
When you have to fight the Supreme Prosecutors’ Office, when you have to seek their cooperation, and when Kang Hyun has to enter the Supreme Prosecutors’ Office.
In that sense, Kang Hyun’s choice could be said to be a better one.
“I don’t think it’s time yet. Even if Chief Majo is an independent department outside of the president’s power, it’s difficult for him to survive against eight departments.”
“After you gain more power. I agree with that. They say that a position makes a person, and they really hate being in debt.”
“Well, that’s good.”
“Then that’s the end of the story. Take this, take this too. Take that too…”
“I already packed everything.”
Kang Hyun received the ‘letters of recommendation’ that would pile up in his place from Jeong Ji Eun, tucked them under one arm, and held up the citation. He held the ‘encouragement money’ that would be given to the trial department and the trial division for resolving this case in his other hand.
For his recent performance, the Qing government also gave him a lot of things.
Jeong Ji-eun said quietly.
“Thank you for your hard work. Thank you for saving my life.”
“Senior, you did everything.”
“No? You did it.”
“Well, please tell Chief Prosecutor Jeong Joong-heon that I am grateful for his consideration. I am a little embarrassed to see his face.”
“okay.”
Total compensation for this incident.
The reward for solving the case was not just a simple certificate of commendation.
First of all, money. The Central District Prosecutors’ Office’s trial departments, the 1st, 4th, and 5th trial departments, and the supporting trial department staff were given enough incentive money to be able to spend several days without feeling burdened.
The joy that comes after hard work, work is important, but you also have to enjoy the ‘rich quality of life’ that supports it, so this was shared fairly with the inspectors and employees.
And next is people.
“These are the officers and investigators who will be working in support of our 5th trial division from now on.”
“Support work?”
“oh….”
“Nice to meet you!”
Baek Hoon-sik, Ahn Ji-won, and other 5th Division prosecutors and Deputy Chief Yang Seong-gyeom applauded the employees who were cleaning up their seats with surprised looks on their faces.
The direct officers and investigators of the 5th Trial Division, who are not part of the ‘Trial Division’.
Originally, prosecutors in the trial division, unlike prosecutors in the investigative prosecutor’s office, did not have the manpower to act as their hands and feet.
However, thanks to Kang Hyun’s efforts, this job structure was overcome and it became possible to supplement personnel.
Now, the youngest, Baek Hoon-sik, was able to properly have one or two working-level officials under his direct control.
In addition, we plan to thoroughly support the maintenance of the prosecution of the ‘Song Doo-seung remaining case’ in the 2nd and 3rd trial divisions, and we have also received a promise from the chief prosecutor that he will not intervene in the performance of trials other than this case.
About 10 rewards including small ones.
Even if he had moved only toward the truth with a pure heart, there would be nothing bad about Kang Hyun if he had been recognized and given greater support.
‘We might be one step closer to the Park Min-ha case.’
Kang Hyun slightly tightened his fist at the face that passed by for a moment, then released it.
Why we need to make our organization stronger and more solid. Why we cannot rest on our laurels.
In order to cross the line between ‘Daejin Group and Park Min-ha’, he had to continue to create allies and gather strength. This incident was also just one part of Kang Hyun’s bigger picture.
“And. About the seat issue you mentioned earlier.”
The issue of moving to the manager position. Kang Hyun simply rejected this.
“You know I don’t need the position of Division 4 Chief, right? Division 5 is enough for me.”
“Are you already in love? That won’t do.”
“Rather than saying I developed affection for it, I felt like it was more of an environment where I could move around more freely, and that it didn’t really have any particular meaning.”
“Could you give me a little more strength?”
“No. There’s something more important than that.”
“much?”
What should Kang Hyun do while refusing to move to a higher position within the trial department?
When she tilted her head, Kang Hyun simply gave her the answer.
“There are so many raw materials in Part 5. I plan to grow them and make them usable.”
“Ah, I like that person.”
“Yes. They are all excellent and capable prosecutors. If we raise them, they will be of great help.”
“okay?”
When Director Jeong Ji-eun asked back, as if to say, “Did you have an eye for people?”, Kang Hyeon answered with the same indifferent expression.
“Prosecutor Baek Hoon-sik may lack experience, but he has insight and a sense. Prosecutor Ahn Ji-won is excellent at office work and planning as well as fierce ambition.”
“and?”
“I’ve been keeping an eye on prosecutor Park Lee-Hyeon lately. He seems to have a knack for unique things.”
Prosecutor Park Lee-Hyeon?
A prosecutor who holds the position just above Baek Hoon-sik and gets along well with the people of Division 5.
I thought that his work performance and skills were average, as well as his interpersonal relationships.
“Prosecutor Park Lee-Hyeon has a special talent?”
“Yes, there is.”
Kang Hyun smiled softly and told Manager Jeong Ji-eun the results of his judgment with eyes full of confidence.
“I’m good at cyber investigations.”
“Huh?”
Cyber investigation.
Cyber investigation is an essential part of high-difficulty cases.
Of course, there is the Supreme Prosecutors’ Office’s cyber investigation team, and each district prosecutor’s office has experienced administrative officers in the information and communication department.
If cyber investigations could be done by a single prosecutor, then anyone, anywhere, could be a top prosecutor.
Isn’t there a big difference between having your own ability and borrowing the strength of others?
“Huh… Really?”
However, Jeong Ji-eun couldn’t believe Kang Hyun’s words at face value and let out an ‘huh’ sound again.
She, as the head of the trial division, had naturally dealt with Park I-Hyeon before, but Kang Hyeon’s words were somewhat unexpected.
If this is the case, it’s one of two things.
Kang Hyun-i passed on Park Yi-hyeon’s skills to Park Yi-hyeon due to her mediocre talents.
Or maybe he has a superior insight than Jeong Ji-eun herself.
“You… Since when have you been keeping an eye on me?”
“It’s been several months.”
“How many months has it been?”
Since a few months ago.
Kang Hyun must have been very busy coming to the trial department, going through all sorts of hardships, and personally wrapping up a case that turned the entire prosecution organization upside down.
In the midst of this busy schedule, he was checking Park Hyun-ah’s profile and abilities, and was preparing to develop him step by step.
Kang Hyun laughed.
“Park Lee-Hyeon, you will become an amazing prosecutor.”
