Chapter 7
Chapter 7
At that time, the parking lot of the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency.
Inside the heavily tinted sedan, Lawyer Baek Jin, who was in charge of defending Park Seokhyun, was sitting.
Anyway, you have to know that those cops are stupid.
-Did you say Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency? Major Crime Investigation Team 1?
He was browsing the Park Seokhyun case on a tablet PC while talking to a fellow lawyer.
Uh. Is it Lee Hyunsoo or Cheolsoo? I don't know. Hes a strange inspector. He thinks he's smart by himself but I don't think so. It was such a sight.
-Ah, Inspector Lee Hyunsoo? That villain of the Seoul Police Agency?
What villain, if the villain is that stupid, would the protagonist be willing to kill the villain?
Lawyer Baek Jin had a mean smile on his face, closed the tablet PC, and continued.
Well, it's nice and comfortable for me. Anyway, I think I'll go comfortably this time thanks to a pushover.
-Isn't it confirmed that it goes to the prosecution? Moreover, it seemed like it would explode in the media. Can you relax?
Don't you know what kind of person the head of Hoseon District is? If it's that person, our law firm will try to help. Actually, they'd appreciate it if we could just move on to the prosecution. There are many prosecutors lined up because they want to come to our law firm. At this time, I want to do all the things that can get the head of the district's son's accusation and get points for probation?
-That's great. Then treat me when you're done.
Lawyer Baek Jin gently smirked.
Daesang Law Firm was filled with former judges and prosecutors. It was pretty hard to survive there as a young lawyer. He had run here and there to get connections, but he guessed efforts really didn't betray him. If he helped the head of the district to reduce Park Seokhyun's sentence or get a suspended sentence.
Then of course Ill shoot. I will get results, and I will also have an expensive connection with the head of the district.
Even if it didn't go well in the media, it was an opportunity to make VIPs know his name.
Looking at the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency visible through the car window, he continued.
Let's have a drink at an expensive place. I'll be in touch.
* * *
The cold morning air was entering the team office through a small window. The only light in the dark office was Hyunsoo's desk.
The surroundings of his seat in the corner were full of Hyunsoo's luggage as if he hadn't returned home for several days.
Even at a glance, you can tell that he is a homicide detective who works overtime every day.
It was the most familiar scene for Hyunsoo.
Sitting on a chair, resting his chin on one hand, Hyunsoo was turning his pencil while thinking about something.
Lawyer Baek Jin of Daesang Law Firm.
As he thought, it would not be easy to deal with the son of the head of the district. Like all people with money and power, he thought the head of the district would find a good lawyer first. But he didn't know that it would be Daesang Law Firm.
The number 1 law firm in the industry, a vicious law firm that if you had money, you could live even if you had a sentence.
It was a law firm that existed for large corporations, chaebols, and powerful people. And.
Lee Yongjae.
Another grandson of Hyunsoo's grandfather and his cousin. The de facto representative of the Daesang Law Firm, the law firm of Lawyer Lee Yongjae.
Hyunsoo smiled.
It's fun.
The sight of Hyunsoo, who was thinking about Lee Yongjae, seemed very familiar. Like a person who had been thinking about Lee Yongjae and his family all his life.
* * *
About a month ago.
Hyunsoo had been forced to stop by the hospital room where his grandfather, Chairman Lee of Daesang Group, was lying.
I intend to leave a legacy to you. If you don't take it, it will go to the other children. How Are you gonna get it?
Chairman Lee's Legacy, 3 trillion.
Chairman Lee thought Hyun-soo would reject his inheritance.
The death of Hyunsoo's parents. When he saw the lives that were most precious to him disappear because of money, he couldn't bear to receive it.
But Hyunsoo's words followed.
Then I'll take it.
What? You're getting it?
Why, you don't like it? Since I said Im going to get it? Then don't give it to me.
No, I.
Chairman Lee, who was sitting on the bed, looked embarrassed.
He had been preparing for months how to persuade Hyunsoo in case he wouldnt accept the money of those who made his parents die, as his money going to him would be worth more than his sons who were crazy about money.
Hurry up and decide. I have to go check on the witnesses.
However, Hyunsoo just checks his watch casually.
So so what are you going to do with 3 trillion?
3 trillion was not small even for ordinary chaebol. And Hyunsoo said that he took such money.
Did I see the wrong person?
He heard that Hyunsoo, like his father Lee Hanseok, the son of Chairman Lee, was a righteous person and couldn't stand injustice. Even at the police station, he was like a mad dog, and once bitten, he didn't let go, and that was why his colleagues called him villain.
But he couldn't believe he accepted 3 trillion Won so easily.
Hyunsoo spat out when Chairman Lee squinted at him.
I'll use it for my work. Since I got that much money.
Foryour work?
Yes.
Exactly, how?
Hyunsoo bent his eyebrows at the inquisitive Chairman Lee.
I guess you don't have as much trust in me as you thought? Until a little while ago, you said that you would hand over the inheritance to me, and now you are like interrogating me about how and where I would use it.
That's right, maybe I was looking at the wrong person.
Didn't you already feel it? Im indifferent in front of money, and I don't have parents or anything. With that kind of money, Im gonna go nuts spending it.
Go, go nuts?
Yes. Money that wont let those criminal bastards breathe.
Criminals?
Chairman-nim, you're high up there, so you don't know how it rolls down here. If you look here, there are all kinds of eccentric fellows.
When Chairman Lee gestured for him to continue talking, Hyunsoo continued.
A guy who kills people and gets rid of evidence with money, a guy who lowers his sentence with money, a guy who holds the police tightly with money and makes them move as he pleases. I became a police officer to catch them, but to catch them, I realized I needed money, not a police badge.
.
That's why I took it because you said you would give me money like this.
.
Chairman Lee rubbed his chin and looked worried. Then he smiled and raised the corner of his mouth.
Why are you laughing?
Because I don't think I looked at the wrong person.
* * *
In the end, what Chairman Lee was wary of was his children and grandchildren. Chairman Lee knew about it. They were going to use their own money, the money of the companies, to their liking.
Daesang Law Firm was one of them.
You left me a legacy to teach these guys a lesson, didn't you?"
Hyunsoo put a smile on his lips for a moment. But soon after, he shook his head. He would stop here.
The Daesang Law Firm was not directly related to this case. Just a law firm belonging to the perpetrator's lawyer. What Hyunsoo was chasing now was not the Daesang Law Firm.
Hyunsoo put down the pencil he was spinning on his desk.
Anyway, what he needed to focus on now was the incident committed by Park Seokhyun and his two friends. Clearly, they should be charged and made to pay for their crimes.
It was then.
Hyunsoo's cell phone vibrated loudly.
Hello?
-This is Police Officer Kim! Im sorry for calling at such early hours!
Nah, you went through more trouble. What happened? What came out?
-Yes! You know the phone that is believed to be Park Seokhyun's cell phone that was found this evening. The forensics analysis of the phone is done.
Police Officer Kim's words continued, and soon after, Hyunsoo jumped up.
Nothing came out?
Park Seokhyun's cell phone, which he found by using money and services.
All of those were to find the cell phone containing the conversation between Park Seokhyun and his friends in the video of the victim's harassment.
Okay, I got it. I'll be right there.
Hyunsoo put down his phone.
There was not much time left to hold Park Seokhyun, and he didnt know what Lawyer Baek Jin would do during the remaining time.
The cell phone that Police Officer Kim found was a fake. A trap that Lawyer Baek Jin cleverly prepared to buy time.
What Hyunsoo needed now was evidence. The cell phone he used at the time of the crime, proving Park Seokhyun's allegations.
But then.
This is driving me crazy. Ah No way, did you really get that far?
Hyunsoo burst into laughter, raising the corners of his mouth wide. Hyunsoo continues to laugh like a crazy person.
It was fun.
This was because the lawyer's method, which he had thought about, was coming out as it was.
This, too, was part of Hyunsoo's plan.
