Episode 89 Adultery and Love

The trial, which resumed after a brief recess, proceeded at breakneck speed. Neither the prosecution nor the defense had any new evidence or witnesses to present.

Prosecutor Kang Jin-gyu hit the old man.

“Please sentence the defendant, Ma Jun-seok, to two years in prison for drinking and driving again less than a month after receiving a suspended sentence!”

Attorney Oh Seon-yeol made his final argument.

“Even though he was drinking, he only drove about 10 meters. It is also true that the defendant is truly remorseful and is receiving hospital treatment for panic and depression.

Please also take into consideration the fact that the defendant is a college student in his twenties with a bright future ahead of him, that there were no casualties from this accident, and that all property damage was paid for.”

That ‘promising twenties’. Anyway, lawyers ask for leniency, saying that they are young and old.

That I am a student, that I am a father, that I am a hard worker, that I am a respected university professor, that I have children to take care of, that I have contributed to the Korean economy.

They are trying to reduce the sentence by making all kinds of excuses.

‘If you look at it that way, are there really people who would go to jail?’

[That’s what I mean.]

While I was grumbling, the defendant’s final statement was made.

Ma Jun-seok folded his hands in front of him, bowed his head, and spoke in a tearful voice.

“I made another mistake because of a moment of carelessness. I will never do this again. I have already sold my beloved car, and I have started treatment for depression and alcoholism. Your Honor! I am truly and sincerely repentant. If you show me leniency, I will spend the rest of my life repenting.”

He was telling the same old story over and over again.

‘I guess it was written by Bona Mana Yang & Ji.’

[The content is different. It’s worse than the characters I made up.]

‘What exactly did you write that made you do that?’

I took out my cell phone and took it out.

[I already deleted it.]

‘Hey! Why did you delete it? I wanted to see it.’

[Art, by its very nature, has a short lifespan.]

‘Life is short. Art is long.’

[ah?]

The trial ended in the midst of a chaotic conversation between Aliotta and the judge. Now, all that remained was the court’s verdict.

The verdict will not be handed down today, as the court will deliberate and hand down the verdict after both sides have finished their arguments.

“The next sentencing will be in three weeks.”

After Judge Hong Sang-jin finished speaking, he stood up. As the judge left, the people who filled the gallery also stood up.

The courtroom was bustling with people going out and people trying to interview lawyers and Ma Jun-seok.

“Mr. Ma Jun-seok. What did your father say about this trial?”

“The black box footage has been released, but do you have any intention of apologizing for the false testimony you gave before?”

Yang & Ji’s rookie lawyers blocked the reporters asking questions, and Oh Seon-yeol leisurely left the courtroom with Ma Jun-seok.

“I will not take questions. If you engage in excessive competition for coverage, we will also take legal action.”

Gong Min-ho spoke firmly to the reporters while preventing them from following Oh Seon-yeol. Wi Jun-woo’s face, looking at them, took on an unusually dark expression.

[Why are you doing that?]

‘Wi Jun-woo. Why is your expression like that?’

[I guess you have some regrets about Gong Min-ho.]

‘Has Wi Jun-woo ever met Gong Min-ho?’

I was curious, but my thoughts couldn’t continue any longer because Kang Jin-gyu was looking at me, smiling brightly with his mouth wide open.

Kang Jin-gyu looked as if he was about to fly, as if he thought he had won the trial. I quickly approached Kang Jin-gyu and greeted him.

“Senior, thank you for your hard work!”

“Thank you for your hard work, Dogeom.”

“It was a bit of a struggle.”

Wi Jun-woo, who had returned to his usual self, walked next to me and snorted.

“All you have to do is sit still and answer the questions. What’s the point?”

“It’s not hard for me. If it were someone else, I would have been really upset.”

After lightly teasing Wi Jun-woo, I spoke to Kang Jin-gyu again.

“I have a really good feeling about this. I think I might get a real sentence.”

“Right? Because the black box footage was crucial.”

“Yes. We can realize the justice of the guilty.”

Then Aliotta gestured to me and said:

[Hyun-kwang. Now is not the time to be so cheerful.]

‘Why? What happened?’

[uh…….]

Aliotta trailed off, then turned around and whistled while looking at the distant mountains with her backpack on her back.

what?

What about that attitude that seems to evade responsibility?

At that moment, I felt a cool breeze behind me. Don’t they say that when you read a martial arts novel, you can feel someone’s murderous intent?

Just like that. The hair on the back of my neck stood on end, and goosebumps appeared on my arms. It felt like some kind of enormous and huge disaster was approaching from behind.

Or maybe it felt like a really angry Doberman was going to pounce on you.

I slowly turned around, feeling the sweat running down my back, and sure enough, I saw Lieutenant Lee Mi-yeon looking at me with twinkle in her eye.

“Inspector, please speak.”

“Yes? What’s going on?”

But before Detective Im Ji-yeon could even open her mouth, Detective So-jin suddenly appeared from somewhere and intervened between me and Detective Im Ji-yeon.

“No, inspector! When on earth did you start dating our senior Miyeon? Yes? You’re the same to me. You even lied to me. Is that all I can do to you? Since when? Since when did you two start dating? Yes?”

Even though the face of Detective Im Yeon-i, who was watching, was distorted horribly, Detective So Hae-jin smiled brightly and repeated, “Since when?”

‘Oh my. Look at how clueless he is.’

[Now that I look at it, Detective Im Yeon-i is a caretaker.]

‘That’s right. With that kind of attitude, you’d probably get upset once a week. It’s brave that you didn’t get hit and died.’

He was about to step forward to ensure detective So Hae-jin’s safety, but the quick-witted Wi Jun-woo struck first. Wi Jun-woo put his arm around detective So Hae-jin’s shoulder and naturally turned to face the back.

“Wow, look at those muscles. You must be working hard on your upper body these days.”

“Yes. I couldn’t do any upper body work for a while because of the cast. I think I lost muscle mass because of that. I took the cast off and these days I’m just doing upper body work. Huh? But I was talking to Miyeon-sunbae.”

“We’re always together, so let’s talk later. How’s your back? My back muscles don’t seem to be growing well.”

“Oh, that’s it. My back is no joke.”

Detective So Hae-jin was taken aback by Wi Jun-woo’s compliments and went outside while talking about back exercises. As soon as Detective So Hae-jin disappeared, Lieutenant Lee Mi-yeon glared at me again.

I swallowed hard and looked at Lieutenant Im Yeon’s tightly clenched fist.

‘Surely you won’t hit me with that, right?’

[You never know. Ma Jun-seok’s nose is crushed.]

I was twitching my nose for no reason when Lieutenant Im Yeon-yeon spoke.

“Inspector. That… … just now.”

Lieutenant Lee Mi-yeon, who was about to speak, paused and looked around. The lawyers had left and many of the spectators had left, so the courtroom was deserted, but there were still a few people left in the courtroom.

Among them was a court officer who craned his neck and listened intently to us.

At that moment, Lieutenant Lee Mi-yeon suddenly reached out to me. I was startled and quickly covered my nose with both hands, but fortunately, Lieutenant Lee Mi-yeon’s hands went to my arms and not my nose.

Conscious of the eyes of those around her, Lieutenant Im Yeon-i grabbed my arm and pulled me along, speaking.

“Let’s go out and talk.”

Seeing that, Kang Jin-gyu blushed again and muttered softly against the back of my head.

“Wow. That impact. This is good. That… … , I’ll go first. Come in slowly.”

We stopped in the deserted hallway. Lieutenant Im Yeon-yeon looked around to make sure there was no one around, but she seemed uneasy and lowered her voice to whisper.

“Inspector. What was that just now?”

“What?”

“It’s Urg Sgund.”

Lieutenant Im Ji-yeon clenched her teeth and spoke as if she were a Doberman growling.

“Oh. So we’re dating? At the time, that was the best we could do. We couldn’t get caught for illegally stalking Ma Jun-seok.”

I said, avoiding the stinging gaze of Inspector Im Yeon-yeon.

“People forget things like this quickly anyway. Don’t worry.”

“It’s the inspector! It’s the senior!”

When I turned around at the sudden loud noise, I saw Detective So Hae-jin, who I thought had been dragged away by Wi Jun-woo, smiling brightly and waving at me from the other end of the hallway.

“You two look great together! May you live happily ever after! Inspector! Brother-in-law! Please take good care of our Miyeon-sunbae! You will make her happy, right? Miyeon-sunbae, oh! No, Detective?”

“When did you come here again? Let’s go. We haven’t even started talking about the lower body yet. Inspector, take care!”

“Inspector! Even if I were to be the flower girl at the wedding, I would be like, ugh!”

Wi Jun-woo, who had jumped out from around the corner, covered Detective So-jin’s mouth and dragged him out again. Even after the loud voice had disappeared, it seemed like there was a faint echo in the hallway.

I said, looking at the empty hallway where Detective So Hae-jin had disappeared.

“Detective So, have you had a drink?”

“People will soon forget.”

“Detective So has a good memory.”

“Oh, really!”

“They’ll just crush you with their rank. What good is a boss being bullied like that? Just don’t let them say anything… … .”

Lieutenant Im Ji-yeon quickly shut her mouth as she glared at him sharply.

“What is the text?”

“A text?”

“It’s the text message that everyone saw earlier. It’s the text message that the inspector and I exchanged.”

“It’s nothing. We haven’t exchanged any text messages.”

Lieutenant Im Ji-yeon held out her hand, seemingly not listening to what I was saying.

“Give me your phone. I have to check it myself. What on earth does it say that makes the judge, prosecutor, and lawyer all blush.”

“It’s really nothing.”

I took out my phone, turned on the text screen, and handed it over. Since the text Aliotta had written had already been deleted, all that was left were the bleak texts we had exchanged.

– (Do Hyeon-gwang) Please give me the information.

– (Im Yeon) Sent.

We weren’t close enough to talk to each other, and we rarely exchanged text messages because we would call whenever we had something to say.

The only thing left is the one I asked for for trial materials. I think I left a message because I was on the phone.

Now that I think about it, I’m even more curious. What on earth was Aliotta writing about?

‘What did you write in the text just now? What data did you look at to write it? No. Did you even have the data?’

Aliotta looked down at me from the air with a slightly arrogant expression.

[Did you know that I have over 4 million searchable case law and case information stored in my database?]

‘I know.’

[Do you know how many of those trials are about love, infidelity, and infatuation?]

Huh? Was that guy having an affair and having an affair just now?

Adultery and infidelity????

[It’s gone now, but there are also many cases related to adultery. During divorce trials, a lot of cases of adultery are revealed. To find fault with the other party. Is that all? How many cases of murder, attempted murder, and intimidation due to love are there?]

‘So, what?’

[I found it among the materials I had. Texts that lovers can exchange with each other. I modified and patched them together and pasted them here.]

Aliotta proudly spoke and held out her small boat.

Don’t stick your belly out!

That’s not something to be proud of!!

Oh my gosh. Adultery, infidelity, and even fornication.

‘Yeah. I forgot. I heard that AIs write novels these days. Don’t you want to make some money? How about writing a novel with a sub-character?’

[Hmm. A novel?]

‘Don’t be so serious! I’m being sarcastic!!’

As I was glaring at the floating Aliotta, I heard a “Huh” sound from next to me. Lieutenant Lee Mi-yeon, who had been staring intently at the short two-line text, opened her mouth with a look of bewilderment.

“Is this what you were making such a fuss about? The prosecutor and the lawyer? What did you think this information was? Seriously. Are you all possessed by a pervert?”

I think that guy is possessed by a pervert.

Aliotte avoided my gaze and just whistled while carrying her luggage behind her back.
