Episode 84 Both are correct
“I never, ever intended to drink and drive. Trust me.”
Ma Jun-seok, sitting in the witness stand, continued his performance in the innocent and desperate voice he had practiced in advance.
“This will never happen again. I am truly and sincerely reflecting on my actions.”
No matter how hard he practiced, Ma Jun-seok continued his testimony with an innocent and naive look that anyone who saw it would have been 100% convinced that he was innocent.
“I even sold my car to eliminate the temptation to drive.”
Oh Seon-yeol turned around and looked at Judge Hong Sang-jin.
“Your Honor, Ma Jun-seok sold his precious car that he received as a 20th birthday present in order to solidify his resolve not to drive. He also plans to receive regular psychiatric treatment to alleviate his panic and seizure symptoms.”
Oh Seon-yeol handed over the documents he had received from Gong Min-ho to the court officer.
“Please submit additional evidence, including a copy of the car sales certificate, a psychiatric treatment plan, and a hospital alcohol clinic registration to treat your drinking habits.”
Oh Seon-yeol glanced at Judge Hong Sang-jin’s face as he received the documents from the court officer and felt inwardly delighted. It was because he thought that the way he nodded while looking at the evidence documents was almost like coming over to him.
It can’t be helped.
The only evidence they presented was the breathalyzer test results. On the other hand, this side clearly proved that Ma Jun-seok had no intention of actually driving.
He did not drive, but rather the car started moving due to several unexpected coincidences. Ma Jun-seok also submitted various treatment plans, pledging to reflect and self-reflect in the future.
At this point, we should consider him to be innocent.
As he was smiling happily, the courtroom door suddenly opened with a loud bang, and a man with a perfectly normal appearance walked in through the audience with a confident gait.
The man placed both hands on his hips, thrust his chest forward, and shouted loudly.
“The Return of Superman~!! Hahahaha!”
For a moment, silence fell in the courtroom. The man looked at Judge Hong Sang-jin sitting on the bench and waved happily.
“You are a judge!”
Judge Hong Sang-jin looked at the man smiling brightly and sighed.
“Officer. Take immediate action to evacuate.”
“yes.”
The court officer strode over and dragged the man out. Although the man was tall, he was dragged out surprisingly easily, flailing around like a paper doll.
“Huh? No, wait a minute. Your Honor? No, this isn’t right? Excuse me?”
The man called Judge Hong Sang-jin, but the judge turned his head away. Was it because of his mood? Prosecutor Kang Jin-gyu and the investigators on the prosecution side also seemed to turn their heads away.
“Senior! Manager! Why is no one answering… …?”
The voice that had been babbling until the end finally became quiet when he was dragged out of the courtroom and the door was closed.
What the heck is that guy?
* * *
“No, wait a minute. My arm, my arm hurts!”
The court officer dragged me out of the courtroom more easily than I thought. I smoothed out the wrinkles in my clothes and tried to show off.
“Oh, really. I’m not the type of person to be dragged out so easily.”
[Ms. Ki So-young said that Hyun-kwang’s nickname is ‘Heomuldae’, and it turns out she was right. Heo Woo-dae is fine… ]
Aliotta laughed at me, but I didn’t have time to care. I had to quickly deliver this black box footage.
“Do I really have to go in there? I’m not a bad person. I’m just a prosecutor, a prosecutor.”
Still, the detective shook his head firmly.
“It can’t be done because the judge has ordered us to leave.”
At that moment, the courtroom door opened and Wi Jun-woo appeared. As soon as he saw me, Wi Jun-woo scolded and reprimanded me.
“The Return of Superman? How childish. Seriously. The prosecutor will be kicked out of the court.”
“How is the trial going?”
“It’s almost on the verge of being destroyed.”
“Then it can’t go on like this!”
I quickly handed him the bag containing the black box chip.
“This is it. The video has been restored.”
“… … !”
Wi Jun-woo quickly snatched the bag from my hand, opened the courtroom door, and ran inside. As I tried to follow him through the open door, I was stopped by a court officer and pushed out onto the street.
“This is a really important matter. I’ll just stay quiet. Can’t I just watch?”
“No.”
The court officer stood in front of the door with his arms crossed.
Wow, people are really strict.
[Hyun Gwang. Should we eavesdrop on the situation inside the court?]
‘Okay. Let’s try that.’
I stood in front of the courtroom door, put my index and middle fingers together and placed them against my temples.
[What are you doing?]
‘Acting as an antenna. I thought it would be easier to hear this way.’
[You can hear it well even without doing that.]
‘Just give it a try.’
As I was staring at the firmly closed courtroom door, pressing my temple with my finger, I heard a squeaking sound and then I started hearing sounds from inside the courtroom.
– Your Honor, we have recovered the black box footage.
– That can’t be true! Are you sure it’s really been restored?
– This is a video I just received from the orchard.
– Please play the video.
.
.
.
– Hey, what about the agent? He said he can’t drink.
– Tell him to eat some shit. What are you going to do if I’m driving?
– Wow. As expected from our oppa! I told you he’s a real man!
– Do you think I can’t drive just because I drank a little?
– Hey, shit. X, okay? It’s not like I’m going to get caught here.
As I listened to the sound of the properly restored black box footage, I couldn’t help but laugh.
“Hehehe.”
[Hehehe.]
Aliotta, who was laughing evilly with me, said to me.
[Hyun-kwang. The laughter has stopped now.]
‘Why. You laugh too.’
[Or at least lower your hands. The officer next to you is looking at you with a strange look.]
Only then did I lower my hand from my temple and look to the side. The court officer was taking a step away from me, his hand on the gas gun at his waist with a slightly fearful expression on his face.
* * *
“The third trial will resume in a week.”
Judge Hong Sang-jin finished the second trial and left. Although not all the trials were over yet, the defense team was as depressed as if they were at a funeral, and the prosecution team was congratulating each other by patting each other on the shoulder.
Oh Seon-yeol looked at the scene in despair. He thought that all that was left was to be found not guilty. But everything changed because of the black box footage.
If we go straight to the prosecution’s request for a sentence, Ma Jun-seok will have no choice but to receive a prison sentence. In order to delay that by any means possible, we have already requested confirmation that the black box footage that was suddenly recovered is the original.
But if it is determined in the next third trial that it is the original, there is no longer any basis for postponing the trial. It will proceed to the final trial.
Oh Seon-yeol gritted his teeth. It was a trial he had won. Everything was so perfect that it couldn’t have been more certain. But.
Even if you sprinkle ashes on cooked rice, it’s still useless!
The black box footage that suddenly appeared turned everything upside down. It revealed that the fact that he had no intention of driving after drinking and that he had panic attacks and seizures was all a lie.
“I told you to get rid of it. What happened?”
“It was definitely damaged. I was told by the orchard that the chip was damaged and the video could not be recovered. But I never thought they would recover it… … .”
Gong Min-ho answered while sweating profusely to Oh Seon-yeol, who was gritted his teeth and scolding him in a low voice. Since everything had gone down the drain due to this one mistake, Gong Min-ho felt like he was walking on thin ice.
If he had known this would happen, he would have just destroyed the chip instead of damaging it, even if it meant going to extremes. He was regretting it later.
Oh Seon-yeol clenched his fists. He clenched them so tightly that his knuckles turned white.
“Who did you say our client was?”
“This is Representative Ma Yong-gi.”
“And yet you make this mistake?”
Oh Seon-yeol sighed and calmed down. Scolding him later. After winning the trial, he could catch him like a rat. What was important now was to quickly devise a strategy for the next trial.
It is unclear how long they will be able to drag out the suspicion that the black box footage is not original.
While he was struggling, a loud noise was heard from behind. After watching the black box footage, Ma Jun-seok and Lee Bong-soon were seen crying and shouting something incomprehensible, as if they were mentally exhausted.
Oh Seon-yeol clicked his tongue at the sight. How can someone be so mentally weak? Tsk.
“First, get those two out of the way.”
“yes.”
Gong Min-ho ordered the rookie lawyers to appease Ma Jun-seok and Lee Bong-soon and take them out of the courtroom. When Gong Min-ho returned a while later, his face was slightly stiff. Oh Seon-yeol asked.
“Why are those two making a fuss?”
“So, does that mean Lee Bong-soon will be punished for perjury?”
“If you were afraid of perjury, you shouldn’t have accepted the envelope with the money.”
“But, Ma Jun-seok.”
“Why? What is it?”
When Gong Min-ho hesitated and trailed off, Oh Seon-yeol urged him.
“Ma Jun-seok has completely lost his mind. He thinks the Parents’ Network Management Office will eventually arrest him.”
“Oh my. That kid is always… … .”
Oh Seon-yeol, who had been laughing, stopped talking.
“No. Wait. It’s the Parents’ Network Management Office.”
It bothered me that Ma Jun-seok kept talking about the Parents’ Connection Management Bureau. It wasn’t the first or second time. It kept happening.
‘Why don’t you just keep pushing forward with that? You could really get diagnosed with a mental illness if you keep doing that.’
Now that the panic attacks and seizures in the car were proven to be fake, maybe that was actually a good sign.
“Gong Byun, what are the diagnostic criteria for schizophrenia?”
“But, me.”
Oh Seon-yeol’s thoughts continued, but Gong Min-ho seemed to still have something to say.
“why?”
“Ma Jun-seok said that someone from the Parents’ Network Management Office came here too.”
“Here? Who?”
“excuse me.”
In the place Gong Min-ho pointed to, a healthy man named Heo Woo-dae was standing next to Kang Jin-gyu with a big smile on his face.
“Isn’t that the guy who shouted ‘The Return of Superman’ and got kicked out of the courtroom? Do you know him?”
“I’m a swordsman, my name is Do Hyeon-gwang.”
“Test? Are you sure? He’s just crazy?”
“Both are correct. He’s a crazy guy. He came up to Seoul from Gunnae-myeon branch office only a few months ago. He’s known for his swordsmanship. There’s a rumor going around that he’s a bad guy. There’s a friend of mine from my training center named Moon Sung-jae at the law firm Bando, and he really trembles when it comes to swords.”
Oh Seon-yeol tilted his head. How could someone like that be a prosecutor? More importantly, why would a prosecutor go to see Ma Jun-seok? And he even brought up the strange story of the Parents’ Connection Management Bureau.
“Is that really the prosecutor? Did Ma Jun-seok see something wrong?”
“No. Ever since Dogeom shouted “Superman is Back!” and got kicked out, Ma Jun-seok’s face became so pale that he seemed to have lost his mind.”
“hmm.”
Seon-yeol Oh, who had been lost in thought for a moment, asked.
“When did you say you met with the Parents’ Network Management Office?”
“He said that the first time he saw me was in front of the court during the last trial when he received a suspended sentence. He also said that he saw me this time when he was arrested in front of Hongik University for drunk driving. This is the third time.”
“hmm.”
Oh Seon-yeol ran his finger over his chin and fell into deep thought.
Parents’ Network Management Office. Prosecutor. Ma Jun-seok. Court. In front of Hongik University. Arrest.
Oh Seon-yeol flicked his fingers and gave an order to Gong Min-ho in a small voice.
“Go through all the CCTV footage that was there on the day Ma Jun-seok was arrested.”
“We have already deleted that CCTV… … .”
“No. I’m not just talking about the scene where he was arrested. I searched the entire area within 100 meters in all directions.”
“yes.”
Gong Min-ho answered without even knowing what he was looking for.
“Look not only at street CCTVs, but also at the black boxes of parked cars. Oh, and inside stores, too. They might have stopped by convenience stores or nearby bars or something like that. Anyway, look for a 100m, no, 200m radius around that club. Search everything within 200m. Even if it means mobilizing all the kids.”
“yes.”
A prosecutor shouted “Superman is back!” in the courtroom and then got kicked out. His actions were so unbelievable that it was hard to believe he was a prosecutor.
But what’s even more unbelievable is that Ma Jun-seok kept running into him. And on top of that, he was even arrested for drunk driving.
There is definitely something there.
‘You’ll know when you check.’
Is it true that Do Hyun-kwang was chasing after Ma Jun-seok? What was the reason he circled around Ma Jun-seok, even lying that he was the parental influence management office?
Oh Seon-yeol narrowed his eyes and looked at Do Hyeon-gwang with cold eyes.
Do Hyun-kwang, Kang Jin-gyu, and the prosecutors were all walking around with their arms around each other’s shoulders, chanting strange incantations like cult members, such as “Guilty! Go! Bang!”
