Episode 112: The Hidden First Class Meritorious Person

After the second trial was over.

The trial of the Hwang Dae-bong prosecutorial hospitality case has literally become a chaos.

I barely managed to recover the band fee that the lawyer deducted from the entertainment expenses. But due to the sudden revelation by Director Kim Jong-hyeok, the number of people who received entertainment has increased to four. It was a good thing that Kim Kyung-soo also received entertainment from the beginning.

The problem is that as the number of people increased, the amount of entertainment per person fell below one million won again. Thanks to this, Director Kim Jong-hyeok, Jeong Min-goo, and Rep. Ko Yoon-seok were able to escape the law.

[That was what Manager Kim Jong-hyeok was aiming for.]

‘I understand that Kyungsoo Kim had a seizure.’

[That’s right. Last time, only Kim Kyung-soo, who had already been caught, ended up writing a monologue.]

‘He cursed at me so viciously. I’m telling you, I’m a real gentleman! Judge Hong Sang-jin should know this.’

Anyway, after that, things took a completely different turn.

Of course, in a good way for me.

Kim Kyung-soo seemed to have awakened to something as he watched the manager who neither protected nor defended him. In fact, if he didn’t awaken to that, wouldn’t he not be a real person?

What did the awakened Kim Kyung-soo say when he came to me?

– I can never go to the bakery alone!

Kim Kyung-soo, who shouted like that, brought back all kinds of hidden information and evidence as if he were a second investigator.

For example, the woman listed on the order form was not an employee but an entertainment hostess, so the cost was not 300,000 won but the original 800,000 won.

In addition to that, he gave a tip of 300,000 won to the young madam and the waiter in cash. He gave me evidence that made me wonder how on earth he found that out.

Of course, Yang Ae-chwi and Gong Min-ho tried to cover up the incident somehow, but it was like peeing on someone’s own feet and taking out the lower stone to put the upper stone on.

The day of the trial.

I headed to the court with a pounding heart, wondering what kind of verdict Judge Hong Sang-jin would make. The evidence we presented clearly pointed to their guilt.

Judge Hong Sang-jin read the verdict to the four defendants, who were waiting for the verdict with their heads bowed and dressed in suits.

“I will make the decision on 2023godan10943.

The evidence presented by the defendant was inconsistent, and its evidentiary value declined each time the prosecutor presented new evidence, thereby undermining its own credibility.

Also, they did not show any remorse for their sins, but only tried to reduce the number of people or expenses they received in various ways.

After carefully reviewing all the evidence submitted by the prosecution, we concluded that Kim Jong-hyeok and three others received entertainment from Hwang Dae-bong on July 8, and that the total amount of entertainment was 4.08 million won, which, when divided among four people, exceeds 1 million won per person.

Taking all of this into account, the verdict is as follows:

Order. Ko Yoon-seok, Kim Jong-hyeok, Jeong Min-gu, and Kim Kyung-soo are each sentenced to three years in prison for violating the Act on the Prohibition of Unjust Solicitation and Acceptance of Money, etc.

‘Ouch! Oh yeah! It’s Nullili Mambodat!’

In court, it’s forbidden, but it doesn’t matter what you shout inside.

Even Aliotta was dancing an unidentified dance in the air.

Before handing down his verdict, Judge Hong Sang-jin gave a somewhat longer and hesitant explanation, but most of it consisted of scolding the lawmakers and prosecutors, who should be at the forefront of upholding the law, for breaking the law.

I don’t actually remember what Judge Hong Sang-jin said exactly because I was looking at the faces of the guys getting scolded.

It wasn’t my fault. I was trying my hardest to hold back laughter and scream guilty throughout the trial.

After the trial was over and Judge Hong Sang-jin left, Wi Jun-woo, who was in the audience, came over. Wi Jun-woo came out with a bright smile and gave me a high five.

“Thank you for your hard work, inspector.”

“The manager too.”

“Wow, it’s finally over.”

I looked at the defendant. Unlike us who were cheering, they were completely dead.

“That place has the atmosphere of a ancestral home.”

“… … It must be a grocery store.”

“I told you I was a merchant.”

“Huh? I’m sure you said it was the main house a little while ago?”

“Manager, what is a Jonggatjip? Yes? It’s a Sanggatjip. Well, I understand. When you’re in your 30s, you’re different from when you were in your 20s, right? You start talking nonsense and stuff, right? Tsk tsk.”

“Are we the same age?”

“Yeah, yeah.”

I left Wi Jun-woo, who was complaining with a dumbfounded expression, and approached the defendants.

[It is true that Hyungwang said it was the main house of the clan.]

‘I know, too.’

[Wow. I know, but you’re insisting like that?]

‘Who recorded it? Did anyone hear it? You just have to cry.’

Aliotta muttered in the air, “As expected, it’s Hyeon-Toraiya,” but I lightly ignored her.

Gong Min-ho was talking with Go Yoon-seok, Kim Jong-hyeok, and Jeong Min-gu with dark faces, while Kim Kyung-soo was talking to his lawyer a little distance away.

After Chief Kim Jong-hyeok betrayed and dragged Kim Gyeong-su in, Kim Gyeong-su hired a separate lawyer and was going on trial.

Of course. I wouldn’t have been able to receive defense from the same Yang Ae-chwi.

The expressions on the faces of the guys watching me approach were not very good. I understand, since they had just been sentenced to three years in prison.

Gong Min-ho came out and stopped me.

“What’s going on?”

I said, bowing my head as politely as possible.

“I have something to say to Manager Kim Jong-hyuk.”

Then, Jeong Min-gu, who was listening from behind, raised his voice.

“What do you have to say to me now? Huh? How can you do this while wearing human skin?”

“I’ve thought about it a lot, but I feel like it has to be now. I really want to say something to Manager Kim Jong-hyuk.”

When I bowed my head politely once more, everyone looked at each other and tilted their heads. They seemed confused because I, who usually spoke informally and talked nonsense, suddenly bowed my head politely.

Manager Kim Jong-hyuk coughed and took a step forward.

“It’s too late to apologize now. Okay, let me hear what you have to say.”

“Yes, sir.”

Everyone’s eyes were on me. I approached Manager Kim Jong-hyeok and whispered quietly.

“Mr. Kim Jong-hyuk. Do you want to go to prison?”

“Hmm, what? Mr. Kim Jong-hyuk?”

When I spoke on behalf of Kisoyoung, who was unable to see this because he was in the military, Chief Kim Jonghyuk’s eyes widened. I don’t know the details, but it seems like something bad happened because of Chief Kim Jonghyuk. I should get revenge like this.

“You know it’s illegal to receive hospitality, right? Oh, did you do it because you wanted to go to jail? I advised you not to stand as a defendant in a trial where I’m going to be a public prosecutor.”

“what?”

“If you get caught, you’re in big trouble, just like now.”

I smiled brightly. He who laughs last, wins.

“This guy?”

Manager Kim Jong-hyeok tried to rush at me, but Jeong Min-gu and Gong Min-ho quickly ran over and grabbed Manager Kim Jong-hyeok’s arms.

“Please be patient, sir. He’s not worth it.”

“Calm down. There are still people in the audience.”

“Reporters, sir. Reporters.”

In this way, all of the 3rd division prosecutors who were sentenced to three years in prison were forced to resign from their positions.

It’s so good!

After the Hwang Dae-bong Prosecutor’s Hospitality Case was over, we had a dinner party with the 5th trial team for the first time in a long while. After all, the long trial that lasted several months was finally over.

“Now, cheers!”

“Congratulations on your victory!”

“For Hyun-Torae!”

The glasses clinked and everyone drank their glasses in a cool manner. After a few rounds of drinks, everyone drank until their faces turned red, and everyone started talking a lot.

Especially, Manager Shin Hyo-jin has always been nice to me, but today she was too nice to me.

“Wow, as expected from our sword. Amazing! You just blew away the 3rd detective division?”

“It’s not the Detective Division 3, it’s the Loner Division 3. Hehe.”

To begin with, my mouth had no filter, but as soon as I drank some alcohol, it seemed as if my mouth had acquired its own self and began to move wildly on its own.

“Yeah, yeah. Part 3 of the Loner. Haha. You’re good at talking.”

Park Jeong-se stopped him from the side.

“Boss, you’re a third-class loner. Our boss is drunk. You shouldn’t get influenced by Hyun-torae.”

“We’re the only ones here anyway, so what?”

“still.”

“Anyway, I told you that our sword is so pretty. Oh my gosh, you cut off Vice-Chief Nam’s right arm like that.”

“Boss! If someone hears this, they’ll think you really cut off my arm.”

“Hahaha. As expected, it’s our sword.”

As soon as the alcohol started flowing, Manager Shin Hyo-jin couldn’t stop laughing.

“Think about it. In fact, everyone must have been a little nervous. Thinking about how to solve this case. But the sword took care of it all. Three years in prison, thump thump thump!”

“Hehehe.”

Kang Jin-gyu, who was listening from the side, said.

“He was good at swordsmanship, but the real contributor was our chief. You said you stared at him so hard that your eyes popped out while looking for that part in the documentary?”

“yes.”

“How much trouble did you have to find it in such a short time? That’s why Manager Kim Jong-hyeok lost his mind and went wild, so the person who contributed the most is our section chief.”

“Thank you!”

Wi Jun-woo, who was laughing from ear to ear, took the glass offered by Kang Jin-gyu and took a sip. Wi Jun-woo said as he filled the glass again.

“But if you look closely, there are other hidden heroes.”

“Who is it?”

“My name is Kisoyoung. She’s an officer I worked with at Gunnae-myeon branch office. She helped me a lot in finding information. Even though it wasn’t her job.”

“Was it? I didn’t know.”

“Ms. Kisoyoung is a genius at finding information.”

Actually, I helped by hacking. But I couldn’t tell anyone, so I guess I just said I helped find information.

Park Jeong-se said, as he was eating meat wrapped in lettuce and filling his mouth with it.

“There is no one else who is truly important.”

“Who is it?”

“Kim Kyung-soo.”

“Oh, that’s right. Kyungsoo Kim is king.”

“what?”

“I admit it. Oh, Senior Park is so hard to communicate with. He’s not much older than me, so why is he so old-fashioned?”

“Boss, am I weird? What does King Jeong mean?”

When Park Jeong-se, who was driven to the ground, complained to Chief Shin Hyo-jin, Chief Shin simply offered him a glass of alcohol.

“Hey, how do we keep up with the way kids talk?”

“Children? They are all over thirty. And isn’t it demeaning for a prosecutor to speak like this?”

“You just sounded like Judge Hong Sang-jin.”

“yes?”

There was a bit of a commotion, but Kim Kyung-soo is truly the king.

Of course, he was pissed because Director Kim Jong-hyeok dragged him in, and Kim Kyung-soo was originally a bad guy who deserved to be punished.

Still, the evidence and tips that Kyungsoo Kim gave were enormous. Even if there was Aliotte, it might have been a bit difficult if it weren’t for Kyungsoo Kim.

[What are you talking about? I could have solved everything even without Kyungsoo Kim!]

Although Aliotta was furious, it was impossible to ignore the fact that Kyungsoo Kim had a big role to play.

“Anyway, Kyungsoo Kim is the greatest contributor. He even gave us information that Dogeom didn’t know.”

“That’s right. Especially the tip you gave to the young madam and the waiter. Hey, it was in cash so we wouldn’t have known.”

Wi Jun-woo nodded in agreement. I nodded too.

“That’s right. Where else can you find such an internal strife?”

Wi Jun-woo’s face took on a shit-chewing expression.

“Inside… …what?”

“I want to know. Don’t you know Heathblutter? Whistle, Whistlebrush, Whistle. Blower. Oh, my English isn’t that good.”

“Are you sure it’s not just English?”

“Oh, the manager is drunk.”

Actually, I think I’m drunk.

Why does my tongue keep getting twisted?

Abebebe.

I opened my mouth again.

“But you left out the truly important hidden first-class contributor.”

“Who is it?”

“How can everyone leave this person out? This is not right.”

“Who are you, Inspector?”

“Who is it?”

Everyone tilted their heads, wondering who the hidden hero might be.

“This is Manager Han Jae-sik right here.”

Manager Han Jae-sik, who was about to put a spoonful of soup into his mouth at my words, stopped the spoon in front of his mouth and looked back at me.

“Huh? Why me?”

“If our Chief Han hadn’t been bullied in the 8th criminal division, would Kyungsoo Kim have opened up about it?”

“uh……?”

“Even now, our Chief Han Jae-sik, who came to the 5th Trial Division dinner instead of the 8th Criminal Division dinner! Knowing that he was being picked on by all the prosecutors and trainee prosecutors in his department, Kim Kyung-soo opened up about how the 3rd Division, the outcasts, were friendly and often had dinners together and liked to sing, and that’s how he ended up getting into trouble.”

“… … .”

“So, our manager Han is the unsung hero of this incident! The butterfly effect started from one person being bullied! Kyungsoo Kim opens his mouth, Jonghyuk Kim drags Kyungsoo Kim in, and Kyungsoo Kim gets angry and goes wild again! Yay!”

Manager Han Jae-sik quietly placed the spoon down on the table.

Strangely, the company dinner became quiet.

Why is it so quiet?

But because you’re drunk?

Do you usually have trouble hearing when you’re drunk?

I wanted to ask Aliotta, but she shook her head and sat down on the empty floor with her back to me as if she had given up.
