Episode 105: Inspector Torai and Investigator Chilpuni

“Ms. Kisoyoung. Do you want to go to prison?”

That tone of voice. That atmosphere. It was something that Kisoyoung knew all too well. It was something he had always seen when prosecutors interrogated suspects in the office.

Feeling that he was being treated as if he were a suspect, Kisoyoung flinched for a moment.

“Hacking is illegal, you know that, right?”

I knew it was illegal, but I did it for my friend. My friend’s case was covered up, and the prosecutor was actually threatening me.

“You’ve been talking about evidence all along, but if you make that public, Mr. Kiso Young will be the first to go to jail for hacking.”

“But for my friend’s sake… … .”

“That guy got a job.”

“that…….”

That’s because you guys didn’t investigate properly. Why did I hack into it? I did it to find evidence that you guys didn’t investigate!

It’s not over just because you dropped the lawsuit! After all, sexual assault isn’t a private complaint crime. Even if your friend dropped the lawsuit, if the evidence is clear, you can still prosecute the academy instructor!

There was a lot to say, but no words came out. It felt like my whole body was frozen under the gaze of the prosecutor who looked at me as if I was a criminal.

As she moved her lips with difficulty trying to speak, Kim Jong-hyuk raised his hand to signal her to stop.

“Ms. Ki So-young, you are currently working as an officer at Gunnae-myeon Branch Office, right? Then you should know better. What happens if you commit a crime? Do you want to be investigated by the prosecutor you used to work for?”

Working in the prosecutor’s office, I’ve seen suspects up close and personal. People in detention centers, people wearing prison uniforms and tied up with ropes, people with handcuffs on their wrists.

Could I be one of those people?

“My younger brother just started college, and my father passed away. If Mr. Ki-young Go goes to prison, there won’t be anyone at home who can make money, right?”

When Kim Jong-hyuk started to recite his family history, Ki So-young was so embarrassed that she just kept her mouth shut. She just wanted the Baek Soo-ji case to be investigated better.

Why, how. Did the inspector actually do his own background check?

Kim Jong-hyuk spoke as if he was soothing a child.

“Ms. Ki So-young has never hacked before. Right?”

“… … .”

“There’s no way someone like Mr. Kiso Young, who works at the prosecutor’s office, would commit a crime like this. Right?”

Kisoyoung swallowed hard.

“Let me be clear, I have never received any evidence from Mr. Kiso Young. Since I have never received any, I have never destroyed any of it. Do you understand?”

“but…….”

“I’m letting it slide because we’re both working at the same prosecutor’s office. If you don’t want to rot in prison, don’t go around saying you hacked. Got it?”

Ki Soo-young could never forget the look in Kim Jong-hyuk’s eyes as he smiled coldly, one corner of his mouth raised.

* * *

“Hey, Soyoung?”

“yes?”

When I came to my senses, everyone was looking at me. My mother said with a smile.

“Where are you spending your mind? Stop eating.”

While Kisoyoung was hesitating, Dohyeonkwang spoke.

“We worked together when we were at Gunnae-myeon branch office. All three of us. The chief and I came up to Seoul Central District Prosecutors’ Office a few months ago.”

“Oh, really? So we’re not working together now?”

Perhaps she asked if her mother was still working with her. Before Kisoyoung could say anything, Wi Junwoo stepped forward.

“Still, when we worked together in Gunnae-myeon, we benefited a lot from Mr. Kisoyoung.”

“Oh my, my child must have owed me a lot. How could the prosecutor and the investigator benefit from my child?”

“No, Mother. That was when our prosecutor first started his own office. He was really bad at his job.”

Do Hyeon-gwang, who was eating japchae, pretended to be angry.

“Chief, what do you mean by ‘dirty’?”

“Oh, yeah, well. Our inspector really couldn’t do his job. He was so bad that I thought maybe he was just pure-hearted. He was just completely clean and perfect.”

“Hehe. It wasn’t that bad.”

“Even if you say it’s dirty, what do you say? Even if you say it’s clean, what do you say? You see? This is the kind of person the inspector is. The ones who helped this kind of person, wiping his nose and feeding him, and made him act as an inspector were me and Soyoung.”

Do Hyun-kwang put down his chopsticks with a clank sound.

“If you listen carefully, you’ll see. Chief, it’s me. I even received a commendation for a good investigation, and I was even featured in the local newspaper.”

“Think back to when you first became independent. How many cases were piling up at that time.”

“Ah. I wasn’t very good at it back then.”

Do Hyeon-gwang, who seemed about to get really angry, quickly admitted it when the first period of independence was mentioned.

“One day, I got abducted by a UFO and suddenly I became good at work.”

“A UFO? Were you really kidnapped?”

My younger brother, Gidongchan, who had been eating quietly, opened his eyes wide and asked.

“It wasn’t kidnapping, it was a hit on the head.”

“Oh. Did an alien hit you in the head?”

“No, that’s not it… … .”

Even the younger brother joined in on the banter between the goblin and the magpie. Seeing how they suddenly turned into three foolish brothers, Ki So-young quietly clicked his tongue.

Now that I think about it, I remember the first time I entered Do Hyeon-gwang’s office.

After Baek Soo-ji gave up her job and left for Australia to be with her aunt, Ki So-young was left in deep depression, unable to tell anyone.

I did my assigned tasks mechanically, like a robot. But that was all. My relationships with other people became increasingly distant.

She didn’t want to mix words, she didn’t want to laugh and chat happily. She just got up, worked, ate, and fell asleep like a zombie.

In fact, I wanted to quit my job. Now, the thought of being a prosecutor made my teeth chatter, and just looking at the prosecutor’s office was disgusting.

When she was about to quit her job, the one who stopped her was none other than Prosecutor Kim Hyun-chul. Prosecutor Kim Hyun-chul of the office where she was working.

– Soyoung, I don’t know what’s going on, but just hold on a little longer. If you quit your job and stay locked up in your room, the situation will only get worse.

She never once spoke about what she had been through with her own mouth, so I thought that Kim Hyun-chul was also opposing her resignation without knowing anything.

But now that I think about it, maybe Kim Hyun-chul knew everything. Since the prosecutors are in different branches, they have many opportunities to hear about each other’s cases.

While working as a rookie officer, he suddenly took a few days off and went around Seoul, asked Kim Hyun-chul all sorts of questions about sexual assault. After returning from vacation, he walked around like he had lost his soul.

Kim Jong-hyeok also found out that he was working as an officer at the Gunnae-myeon branch office. If it were Kim Hyeon-cheol, he could have asked around and found out what incident her friend was involved in.

Maybe that’s why I tried to dissuade her from quitting. If she were to stay in her room alone at a time like this, she might end up in a more serious situation due to guilt and depression.

Fortunately, Kim Hyun-chul was different from ordinary prosecutors. He was a deep and generous person.

That may be why I was able to endure it. If it was a prosecutor or the prosecutor’s office, I would have trembled. But in Gunnae-myeon, the branch office, Prosecutor Kim Hyeon-cheol was a little better.

Kim Hyun-chul always stood by her side, no matter what other employees said. He helped her to focus on her work without worrying about anything else and to avoid self-destructive thoughts while working.

Two years passed like that. She too was starting to get over the nightmares of the past and adapt to her repetitive daily life.

But everything changed when she was assigned to a different office. The prosecutor in the new office was Na Kang-jin.

Na Kang-jin was the typical prosecutor she hated. A prosecutor who acted like a snobbery and ignored those around him. He was very similar in temperament to Kim Jong-hyuk, whom she hated so much.

Sometimes, when I would hear him call a suspect into the office and interrogate him like he was catching a rat, I would remember the times when Kim Jong-hyuk had cornered me, and it was horrible.

Kim Hyun-chul caught her as she was about to quit again.

– Ms. Soyoung, how about this? You know the new prosecutor who is currently learning under me? Prosecutor Do Hyeon-gwang.

– yes.

– If you become independent with a sword, how about starting work in that room?

– Are you a new inspector?

– I don’t know if you’ve heard the rumor, but swordsmanship is a bit different from regular inspection, a lot. I think it would be better if you worked in that room.

So, I ended up working in Do Hyeon-gwang’s office at Kim Hyeon-cheol’s recommendation. I also worked with Wi Jun-woo, a prosecutor who had come down to Gunnae-myeon a year ago.

Kim Hyun-chul was right. Do Hyun-kwang was different from ordinary prosecutors. He was neither authoritarian nor did he carelessly ignore the fact that he was a working-level official.

While working with Dogeom, I never thought of Kim Jong-hyuk. Sometimes, I even wondered if this person was really a prosecutor.

Her superior, Manager Jang Gi-tae, hated her and said she was a troublemaker, but she had no particular reason to hate her. As long as she did her job well, he didn’t find fault with her and he respected her.

What I liked most was his determination to send all the sinners to the bread.

They said they were the same age, and the chemistry between Do Hyun-kwang and Wi Jun-woo was also fun to watch. Maybe it’s like a minnow and a magpie? Maybe it’s like dumb and dumber.

In front of me, I would laugh and shake my head, but when I turned around, I would snicker.

If there’s an inspector like that, I think it would be nice to work with him for a long time.

Even when it was necessary to catch the hook-and-stick murderer Kim Deok-su or sneak into Na Kang-jin’s office, Ki So-young willingly stepped forward to help.

Of course, he acted cold on the outside and didn’t want to show that he was helping. If only all the prosecutors in the world were like Do Hyeon-gwang. If only all the prosecutors in the world were like Wi Jun-woo.

Because there won’t be any more innocent victims like Baek Su-ji.

When Kisoyoung came to her senses from being lost in old thoughts, she saw her mother dozing off on the sofa, perhaps because she was tired.

“You poured that water on our team leader’s pants. It smelled so bad.”

“Oh. Just hearing it makes me smell bloody.”

“Don’t be ridiculous. At that time, our inspector was promoting the ban on difficult labor.”

“Huh? No difficult labor?”

The three foolish brothers were still engrossed in their conversation. As they listened to the story, the incident from back then came to mind, and Ki So-young also slightly moved his mouth.

The activities of Prosecutor Torai and Investigator Chilpuni made even Kisoyoung smile.

* * *

The day has finally arrived. The first day of the trial for the Hwang Dae-bong Prosecutor’s Hospitality Case.

Chief Han Jae-sik barely managed to revive him after investigating him hastily and handing him over, and he was kept alive to the point where he was put on a ventilator thanks to the hacking of Ki So-young.

‘Kisoyoung’s help was great.’

[yes.]

‘Unlike someone who always nags, huh?’

[Among the AI ​​experts specializing in law, I am still the best!]

Aliotta turned her back on me and folded her arms, sticking her mouth out a few feet.

It’s annoying.

But I guess I should praise them for doing a good job, right?

Even though they had a search warrant, finding where the second computer they had hidden was another matter.

However, Aliota had the ability to detect and hack nearby electronic devices. Hacking was possible from about 2 meters away, but finding hidden electronic devices was possible from about 4 meters away.

All electronic devices, including cleverly hidden cameras, wiretapping devices, second cell phones, and well-hidden computers, are said to be found by Aliota.

If it weren’t for Aliotta, I would have had a hard time searching through that wide Jayritz.

‘You did a great job too. You did a great job finding the evidence.’

[Ahem.]

‘We can’t do this without our Aliotta. Well, well.’

[Hehehe. Right?]

Aliotta, who had been pretending to be upset and showing her back, turned around, pretending to be defeated as I continued to praise her.

Thanks to Kiso Young, we found out that there was an additional 1.1 million won. We also secured the receipts and order history from the computer they had hidden.

In other words, they found out that the total amount spent that day in Room 1, where Kim Jong-hyeok, Jeong Min-gu, and Ko Yoon-seok were entertained, was 3.78 million won, including 2.68 million won for alcohol and 1.1 million won for the band and girls.

In that case, it would be considered as receiving entertainment worth 1.26 million won per person, so it is sufficient to arrest them under the Kim Young-ran Act.

I stretched my arms straight out toward the courtroom entrance.

“Charge to catch the loaches!”

[charge!]

Aliotta also stretched out her arms toward the court with an excited face. Then, a voice was heard from behind her.

“Oh, what are you doing? It’s embarrassing.”

Wi Jun-woo, who had been following me with documents, grumbled and went into the courtroom first, staying far away from me.
