Episode 91 Sometimes I Think Like This
Are you curious what I did with that envelope of money?
“I don’t need money. I can’t break up with you. If you’re going to do this, don’t come in front of me again… .”
Oh, wait a minute. This is a line from a morning drama I watched yesterday. Sorry.
Anyway, I didn’t receive any money either. I returned the envelope.
“I don’t need this kind of money. Don’t waste your time and go.”
“You don’t think that’s all, do you? This is just the beginning.”
“start?”
“Your father is still working as an apartment security guard. Don’t you want to make things easier for him?”
That bastard Gong Min-ho knows everything about my family, which is so despicable.
“Your mother has a bad knee joint. You know she needs surgery, right? And your only brother. Your nephew will probably be born next month. Don’t you want to do something for him?”
As he listed his family members one by one, he waved an envelope of money in front of his nose. People with a strong work ethic and conscience like me would be able to endure it, but most people would fall for it.
But who am I? I didn’t fall for it.
“Did you think I would get away with something like this?”
“Are you really refusing? Think carefully. Opportunities like this don’t come around often.”
“Whether the opportunity comes a hundred times or a thousand times, my answer is the same. I refuse.”
“You’ll regret it.”
He laughed sarcastically, but that laugh really bothered me. So I said something to him.
“A real man doesn’t give up his beliefs for a little money.”
Wow, isn’t that cool… … No, inspector. No matter how upset you are, isn’t it too much to act so proud in front of the person you’re talking to?
Okay, I’ll tell you the truth, 100% pure, no MSG. Really.
I was so annoyed by Gong Min-ho’s laughter that I threatened to report him right away. But he still laughed until the end, as if he had some kind of belief in me.
“Whether you report it or not is up to you, Detective. You’ll regret it.”
With those words, he disappeared. Along with an envelope of money… … .
Yes? No. I’m not missing that envelope of money right now. I’m not regretting it either. What do you think of me? My voice didn’t waver. Ahem!
So you didn’t report it? I did. I reported it the next day. I told Prosecutor Seo and reported it to the chief prosecutor right away.
however.
Well, if you look at Gong Min-ho running around like that, you know. Nothing happened. Seriously, nothing happened. They didn’t investigate anything or anything, and they didn’t even call me in for additional investigation.
After so much delay, the report was eventually hushed up. Neither Gong Min-ho nor Yang & Ji Law Firm received any sanctions.
But I can’t forget Gong Min-ho, who looked at me at that time and laughed and said, “You’ll regret it later.”
…
Wi Jun-woo ended his long, drawn-out past story, filled with exaggeration, embellishment, and MSG.
It wasn’t all that surprising that the investigation wasn’t properly conducted even after a report was filed. Yang & Ji’s influence would have been deeply rooted within the prosecution office, so it would have been difficult to investigate them based on a single report without evidence.
I nodded.
“If I was afraid of being reported, I wouldn’t have approached Yang & Ji in the first place.”
“In the meantime, all the staff in our office were scattered. I had done nothing wrong, but I got a zero on my job evaluation and was rejected from the waiting list for my transfer. And then I was eventually sent to the Gunnae-myeon branch of the Onju District Prosecutors’ Office.”
Ah. So that’s why there was such a capable investigator in Gunnae-myeon Branch Office.
[It was a good thing for Hyungwang. Thanks to him, he met Wi Junwoo.]
‘Isn’t that also the case for Wi Jun-woo? Because thanks to him, he met a prosecutor like me?’
[That, we need to hear Wei Jun-woo’s position as well… … ]
Since Aliotta was talking nonsense, I quickly asked Wi Junwoo again.
“So you investigated the case without the chief? Or did another investigator come instead?”
“The case was also reassigned to another prosecutor’s office.”
“Wow. Did Prosecutor Seo Gook-hyun just sit back and watch that?”
“No. He tried to overturn it. He complained to the chief that it was unfair, but eventually he became disillusioned with his life as a prosecutor and quit. I heard that he has now returned to his hometown and opened a law firm.”
They’re really scattered.
“What happened to that incident? The medical student sexual assault incident.”
“You know Yang & Ji’s abilities. The prosecutor changed, and in the end, the indictment was dropped due to insufficient evidence.”
“I knew it. You’re like a bunch of rotten prosecutors.”
Wi Jun-woo looked at me with pitiful eyes.
“You are also a prosecutor, aren’t you?”
“That’s how it is. All men are wolves. Except me. All prosecutors are trash that can’t be recycled. Except me.”
“Wow. Who would call me Hyun-Torai?”
Wi Jun-woo muttered softly and looked at me to see if I had heard him.
I heard it all, human.
But I’m not that narrow-minded, so I decided to let it slide.
“Chief, you don’t have to thank me.”
“Uh. Why should I be thankful?”
Even though I was trying so hard to be kind, Wei Junwoo didn’t seem grateful to me at all.
Oh my. It’s not human nature to not be grateful.
“I was the one who dragged the chief from Gunnae-myeon back to Seoul, dusted him off, and brought him here. He may not have saved my life, but isn’t he doing me a great favor?”
“I sometimes think about this. Wouldn’t it have been better if I had just stayed in Gunnae-myeon? Even if I hadn’t met Prosecutor Hyun-to… … I think I could have lived a happy life as an investigator.”
I didn’t know what to do with myself because of Wei Jun-woo’s overflowing praise.
“Hey, why are you praising me so much? Just one verse, just one verse.”
“Huh? Did that sound like a compliment? I thought it would have been better if I hadn’t met the inspector?”
“You say you sometimes think that way. Then you think about how great it is to meet me all the time, day and night, all the time. Just do it in moderation, in moderation.”
When I waved my hand and smiled as if I was okay, Wi Jun-woo let out a sigh as if the ground was sinking. I looked at him and said.
“Anyway, don’t worry. Next time I meet Yang & Ji people, I’ll step on them without any mercy.”
“You stepped on me again this time.”
“Hey. This time, you’re a witness. Next time I see you as a prosecutor, I’m going to step on you really hard. I’m going to make you regret daring to screw over our chief so much. I’m going to step on you so hard, so hard, so hard, like the 15th day of the first lunar month, until your bones crumble.”
Wi Jun-woo, who had been staring at me with his eyes closed for a moment, said while folding his hands politely.
“I’m really glad I’m on the same side as you, inspector.”
“Really?”
“Yes. Real. True.”
* * *
“Is Chief Shin inside?”
“Yes. There is.”
As soon as the secretary finished speaking, Manager Han Jae-sik knocked on the door and went in. Manager Shin Hyo-jin was sitting at her desk, busy looking over documents.
“Are you here?”
“Do you know who came without even raising your head?”
“The only people who come into my room like this are you and Dogum.”
“Then it could have been a sword.”
“The sword has been noisy since it came in.”
Even as he spoke, Manager Shin Hyo-jin’s eyes were fixed on the documents. Manager Han Jae-sik, who felt a bit upset because he felt like he was being pushed aside by the documents, asked.
“Are you busy?”
“Unlike anyone else.”
“Hey, I’m busy too.”
“Put your hand on your heart and think about it. Are you really busy?”
“Our department is so busy. The kids are always working overtime.”
“Not the kids, I mean you, you.”
“I’m not busy. What would a manager who’s out of favor be busy with?”
Even after saying that, Manager Han Jae-sik wiped his nose as if he was embarrassed.
“excuse me.”
“no.”
“I haven’t even said anything yet.”
“It’s obvious. Weren’t you going to ask me to eat dinner?”
“It’s a pair of tongs. But why not?”
Only then did Manager Shin Hyo-jin look at Manager Han Jae-sik and smile.
“I’m getting off work on time today for the first time in a while. I have a date with my husband.”
“That sounds good.”
“If you’re jealous, go date your wife too.”
“My wife is across the ocean in America. Oh, and who are you having dinner with?”
Manager Han Jae-sik paced back and forth in his office with his luggage on his back. Manager Shin Hyo-jin paid him no attention and continued working on his paperwork.
“Hmm. Should I eat with Pro Park?”
Manager Shin Hyo-jin scolded Manager Han Jae-sik while still looking at the documents.
“It’s been a while since I came up to Seoul after settling the weekend with my husband. Don’t bother me. Let’s have a cozy dinner together as a family.”
“Okay, okay. Hmm. Does Pro Kang have time?”
Manager Shin Hyo-jin, who had been staring at the documents, closed them as if she couldn’t stand it any longer.
“Hey. Let’s eat with your kids. Detective Division 8, you work overtime all the time. You can eat with your kids.”
“They hate me. Would you want to eat with a boss who nags you?”
“Oh, by the way.”
Manager Shin Hyo-jin touched her chin with her finger.
“I also have to meet with Manager Nam. I guess I’ll have to go and meet him sometime.”
“Chief Nam? Why Chief Nam? Why are you barging in?”
When he heard that he was going to meet with Vice President Nam Woo-joong, Manager Han Jae-sik was startled and asked. Although Manager Shin Hyo-jin was originally the type to rush in without thinking twice, when he went to see them so openly, something big usually happened.
Manager Shin Hyo-jin waved his hand as if it was nothing.
“Don’t be nervous. It’s nothing.”
“If it’s not something serious, you don’t have to go see Manager Nam.”
“I’m going to ask you to fill some positions in our department.”
Manager Han Jae-sik tilted his head to the side.
“Aren’t there enough people? Park Pro, Kang Pro. And there’s even a sword there.”
“The sword is being kicked out of our department.”
“Why? You’re good at your job.”
“You’re doing well. You’re doing too well, that’s the problem.”
I looked up to see what he was talking about, and Manager Shin Hyo-jin sighed and crossed her arms.
“Have you ever seen a prosecutor flying around like this in a trial? He’s not just good at handling things. He’s also good at investigating. He goes out to investigate the scene and finds hidden evidence. There are more than one or two cases that have been solved after the prosecutors arrived.”
“That’s true.”
“They say that the swordsmanship was also very active in this Ma Jun-seok incident.”
“Isn’t that the Kang Pro incident?”
Manager Han Jae-sik tilted his head.
“That’s right, Kang Pro. The decisive factor was all done by Dogeom. Like recovering the black box footage, and arresting him in the first place.”
“Well, if you do your job well, what’s the problem with that?”
Manager Shin Hyo-jin clicked her tongue.
“This kid is so dull.”
“Aerani? I’m the manager, Hyojin. And how old are you? Even though no one listens.”
“You admit that you’re dull, right?”
“That’s not it.”
Director Shin Hyo-jin held out her palm as if to stop the useless talk, then continued speaking.
“What I’m saying is this. Can we leave this kid in the trial department? He absolutely has to go to the criminal department. He has to be investigated by a prosecutor.”
“So, are you going to go see Manager Nam?”
“Yeah. I’m going to ask to be sent to the Sword Detective Division. Our department is filling up with other people.”
Manager Han Jae-sik snorted.
“Chief Nam, you’re right. You brought the kid from Gunnae-myeon and threw him in here. If you were going to send him to the criminal department, you would have done so a long time ago.”
“You don’t know until you try.”
“Even if I send it, who would accept it? There are rumors that you are a swordsman. Since it’s you, they will support you and say yes and no. All the prosecutors in the criminal division hate it.”
Manager Shin Hyo-jin suddenly folded her hands and smiled faintly.
“So. You take it, from the 8th criminal division.”
“it’s crazy?”
Manager Han Jae-sik shouted earnestly. I didn’t want to eat alone, so I came here to eat with you, but what the heck is this? You came here to remove the wart and now you’re just sticking the wart back on with glue?
