Episode 97 You’ll probably be surprised

Chief Justice Shin Hyo-jin, who was reading the official document sent by Judge Hong Sang-jin, rubbed her temples with a face that had darkened even more than before.

“Small talk is prohibited, lethal talk is prohibited, your honor is also prohibited, jail time is prohibited, guilty verdict is prohibited… … Guilty verdict? What the hell is a guilty verdict?”

“Oh, is this your first time hearing that? It’s a buzzword I’ve been promoting these days.”

“Buzzword?”

“Guilty, guilty. Go, let’s go! Bread, to bread. Guilty, go bread! If you’ve committed a crime, you have to go to the bread!”

Manager Shin Hyo-jin stared at me with her mouth wide open, then suddenly realized something and quickly closed her mouth.

“Do you really have to raise your fist that high?”

“To make an impact. It’s also an expression of my will and desire to send bad guys to prison.”

“Yes, yes. That’s all well and good. The judge asked that it be prohibited in court.”

“Is this my life motto?”

Manager Shin Hyo-jin smiled with a kind face.

“Swords. I love my swords, but isn’t the courtroom the place to preach life’s mottos?”

“That… … . That’s right.”

“I know very well that our swordsman is good at his job. I know that. But let’s be careful with what we say. Go to this list, read it carefully, and memorize it. So that you don’t make a mistake in court.”

I accepted the thick list that Manager Shin Hyo-jin handed me.

‘Judge Hong is more meticulous than I thought.’

[Wow. You even wrote down all the variants? So they can’t escape?]

I wondered why the stack of papers was so thick. Even though I had been to several trials, I didn’t think there would be this many words to ban.

But when I looked at the list I was given, I understood. It wasn’t just a single word or expression, but every single word with a different variation was written down.

For example, if the word ‘baby’ is prohibited, then ‘this kid, that kid, that kid, these kids, those kids, those kids, this kid, that kid… ‘ are all included in the prohibited words.

So that I can’t change it even a little bit.

‘Oh. You’re such a meticulous and thorough old fart.’

“Boss, isn’t this going too far? If you ban all such talk, how can I catch the bad guys and continue with fair trials?”

“Are there any other tests?”

“… … .”

Yeah, that’s right.

Mr. Woo, what do the other inspectors do?

“It will be hard, but give it a try.”

“Yeah.”

“That’s why the detective department is the best. You don’t have to worry about the way you speak and just solve the case.”

“That’s true.”

“Just wait a minute. I’ll have to yell at Deputy Manager Nam to send you back to the criminal department.”

“Really?”

“Yeah. No matter what anyone says, you’re in the criminal department… … .”

dripping.

There was a knock and then the door flew open.

“Chief Shin! Oh, you happened to have a sword with you? That’s good.”

Manager Han Jae-sik walked confidently into the office.

‘What? Why are you suddenly so arrogant?’

[Wow. There are actually people who walk with their bellies sticking out like that. I’ve only seen them in books, but this is the first time I’ve seen them in person.]

“There’s no company dinner today.”

“You. Ahem. Manager Shin, do you think I only show up for company dinners?”

“Yeah. Even though there was no company dinner, he came to hang out on a few days. What’s going on?”

Manager Han Jae-sik, who came into the office with a pimple on his face, looked at Manager Shin Hyo-jin and me alternately, then stuck his stomach out and spoke with an arrogant expression.

“You’d probably be surprised if you knew what I’ve been up to.”

“Just a minute. Don’t talk.”

I raised my hand to stop Manager Han Jae-sik from speaking, and then racked my brain.

“Manager, have you just submitted your resignation letter?”

“Hmm? Why should I resign?”

Manager Han Jae-sik asked with a surprised look on his face.

“Isn’t that so? Then maybe. The criminal you were investigating this time turned out to be your twin brother who was separated when he was young?”

“What the hell are you talking about.”

“Okay. How about this? The manager has decided to reveal his hidden sexual identity and undergo a sex reassignment surgery… … .”

“Hey, you punk!!!”

Manager Han Jae-sik shouted.

“If you listen, listen, this guy?”

“Otherwise, why are you yelling?”

“Why are you talking nonsense all of a sudden?”

“You said you’d be shocked if you knew what I was doing. If I was going to be shocked, it would have to be at least a resignation letter or a sex change operation… … .”

“This guy?”

[Let’s stop there. I think Manager Han Jae-sik was more surprised.]

‘I wonder? What on earth did you do to cause such a fuss?’

Manager Shin Hyo-jin mediated between the two of us.

“Chief Han. You knew that Do-geom was like this, so why did you get involved in that?”

“Are you wielding a sword now?”

“I’m not trying to be biased. You’re old enough to understand and get over it.”

“Look at him protecting me like I’m his little brat.”

“So, you do it. That’ll do it.”

“Ahem.”

I interrupted while listening to their conversation.

“Sir, is it okay to use the word ‘kid’ here? Is it okay since this is not a courtroom? Oh. I categorically forbid that.”

Instead of answering, Manager Shin Hyo-jin looked at me for a moment and then urged Manager Han Jae-sik.

“What brought you here? Just tell me.”

“I’m talking about this. I just came here to prosecute the case of Prosecutor Hwang Dae-bong’s hospitality.”

“oh.”

Manager Han Jae-sik smiled happily while talking excitedly.

“You chose a human over a dog? As expected. Even if you roll around in dog shit, a human is better.”

“Chief Han, what’s going on? Did you indict him?”

“What’s going on? That’s natural. The prosecutor is the one who investigates and if evidence of a crime is found, then he or she is indicted. Why are you using that as a basis?”

“Thank goodness we got some evidence, huh? I was worried you might have done something to it.”

Chief Han Jae-sik, who had been holding his chin up to the sky with an arrogant expression until now, briefly became flustered at Chief Shin Hyo-jin’s words.

“There was… no evidence.”

“what?”

“A lot of evidence was missing and disappeared. Witnesses changed their stories. It was a total mess.”

“?”

“So I just filed a complaint. I thought our swordsman would do a good job.”

Manager Han Jae-sik smiled at me as he said that.

[Wow. How shameless.]

‘So you’re saying that you filed a complaint without any evidence? And you’re asking me to resolve it?’

[This is a total bombshell.]

I hugged Manager Han Jae-sik tightly.

“I’m truly touched, sir!”

“Huh, huh?”

“That means you trusted me that much!”

“That’s right. I only trusted the sword.”

“The sword that grows as much as you believe in it, here it is! Just trust me!”

“Yeah, yeah!”

In the corner of my vision, Aliotta was looking at me with her arms crossed and a pitiful expression on her face.

[Oh my.]

Next to him, Manager Shin Hyo-jin, who had no way of knowing about Aliotta’s existence, looked at us with her arms crossed with an equally pitiful expression on her face, boasting a high level of synchronization with Aliotta.

“Oh my. Okay, do it, baby.”

When Manager Han Jae-sik and I were hugging and jumping around, Manager Han Jae-sik’s ear suddenly moved.

I wonder how human ears can move like that. The chief’s ears were clearly moving upward and outward, like antennas trying to catch sound.

Then, Manager Han Jae-sik pushed me away from the person he was holding and opened the office door wide.

“Oh my.”

I was dumbfounded, wondering what was going on, and Manager Shin Hyo-jin also looked out the door with a surprised face.

Outside the door, Director Kang Min-hee was on the phone. I hadn’t heard a sound before, but when I opened the door, I could hear the call very clearly.

“Yes, sir. Are you Manager Han Jae-sik?”

Chief Han Jae-sik waved both his hands violently at Director Kang Min-hee and shook his head so that his hair was flying. Even then, as if he still felt uneasy, he crossed his arms and made an X.

[Does that mean you won’t answer the phone?]

‘Yeah. Unless you’re wearing a suit and imitating Power Rangers at that age.’

Director Kang Min-hee, who heard about this, spoke into the phone.

“Oh, Manager Han. He’s not here. Yes. I haven’t seen him today. Yes. I’ll tell him to call you when he gets here. Yes, Assistant Manager. Goodbye.”

After ending the phone call, Manager Han Jae-sik finally sighed in relief and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

“Director Kang. Oh, and our investigators, listen carefully. Today, no. For the time being, if anyone comes looking for me, just say you didn’t see me. You didn’t even see my nose. Got it? From now on, all the way.”

Manager Han Jae-sik, who had given everyone a firm order, finally closed the office door and went back inside. Manager Shin Hyo-jin clicked her tongue when she saw him.

“You walked in so briskly earlier. How could you dare to go against Manager Nam with such a brave heart?”

“A new heart? What do you think of me? How brave am I? Even though I look like this, I still have courage… … , aaaah~!”

While talking, Manager Han Jae-sik was startled when his cell phone rang. His hands were shaking, and he took the phone out of his pocket, but he ended up dropping it.

When I picked up the cell phone that had rolled to my feet, I saw the caller ID ‘Vice President Nam Woo-joong’ written on the screen.

“This is a call from Manager Nam.”

“Don’t receive it, don …

Manager Han Jae-sik was sweating like rain and shouting at me like he was rapping. I pressed the call rejection button and handed the phone back.

Manager Han Jae-sik, who took the cell phone with trembling hands, turned it off by pressing the power button.

“Okay. Okay. Okay, now.”

Manager Han Jae-sik, who was muttering to himself like a crazy person and putting his cell phone in his pocket, suddenly raised his head.

“This thing, you’re not going to track my location with my phone, are you?”

Manager Shin Hyo-jin, who couldn’t stand to watch any longer, shouted.

“Hey! I know you come to work here every day, so what are you tracking me for?”

“Ah. That, that’s right.”

Manager Han Jae-sik, who had been nodding his head, turned his attention to the window this time.

“Let’s close the blinds here.”

“Why the blinds again?”

“You might see it by chance outside the window as you pass by.”

“This is the 14th floor.”

Manager Han Jae-sik, who had pulled down all the blinds on the windows, snickered.

“Chief Shin doesn’t know anything. What’s this? It’s the era of flying drones. You can’t take the 14th floor lightly.”

Instead of answering, Manager Shin Hyo-jin pressed her temples with both hands.

‘I think this is the spot I pressed when I read the banned list earlier.’

If I had pressed a little harder, it seemed like a bruise would form.

dripping.

“Ugh, uh, uh!”

When there was a knock on the door, Manager Han Jae-sik was startled and made a strange noise. However, it was Director Kang Min-hee who came through the door.

Director Kang Min-hee handed over the data to Manager Shin Hyo-jin.

“Sir. The documents you requested before have been sent by Suwon District Public Prosecutors’ Office.”

“Oh, thank you.”

“yes.”

As Director Kang Min-hee closed the door and left, Manager Han Jae-sik behind him brushed away his surprised chest. I sighed as I watched him.

No matter how much a person is better than a dog, how could a person live like that? I thought I should let him go as if he were saving a person.

“Sir. If you’re so scared of rebelling against Deputy Chief Nam Woo-joong, you should just drop the charges. I’ll figure out how to deal with those loners from the 3rd Division.”

“What are you talking about? I just wish the prosecutor would say he’ll indict me once. I’m a prosecutor with a lot of spirit!”

“No, what I mean is, you’re still so scared.”

“Who said they were scared?”

“… … Even if you crouch down there and talk, you won’t believe a single thing.”

Chief Han Jae-sik was hiding behind Chief Shin Hyo-jin’s desk, curled up tightly.

“I’m not hiding. Huh? The sword doesn’t know, but this place is really comfortable, cozy, eww!”

When he heard the sound of his cell phone in my pocket, Manager Han Jae-sik was startled again and pushed his buttocks toward Manager Shin Hyo-jin’s chair.

“Oh, oh! I’m not here!”

When I took out my cell phone, Manager Han Jae-sik waved his hand vigorously at me, and Manager Shin Hyo-jin pushed him away with her leg.

“Oh, seriously. Behave yourself, manager.”

I quickly turned off the phone alarm and put it back in my pocket.

“Don’t worry. It wasn’t a call. It was an alarm.”

“Alarm? Why an alarm at this hour?”

“Ah. It’s 10 minutes before I leave work. When the alarm goes off, I save what I’m writing, log out of the websites, clean up, turn off the computer, and leave work. It’s just the right time. This is my alarm for leaving work.”

“Ah. Oh my, I’m dying.”

Manager Shin Hyo-jin spoke to Manager Han Jae-sik, who was still crouching on the floor next to his chair, his strength drained.

“Should we just get up now?”

Manager Han Jae-sik looked up at Manager Shin Hyo-jin with an exhausted face and asked.

“Chief Shin. Do you have any Cheongsimhwan?”
