Chapter 8:

"Are you sure? Did anything really come out?"

Analysis room of the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency.

The sun was already rising outside the window.

"Give me the analysis results."

"Here, I'm sure Park Seok-hyun's phone is correct."

Police Officer Kim sighed and lowered his head.

Park Seok-hyun's cell phone after forensic analysis. Hyeon-soo looked at the analysis result again.

"It says that nothing was saved in the first place."

"I'll look for it some time more, in case I might find something else."

It was then.

The door to the analysis room slammed open! It opened and team leader Heo In-seong came in with his eyes wide open.

"Nothing came out?!"

"Team leader Huh?"

"Because I heard everything from outside, tell me honestly. What do you mean nothing came out!"

Hyun-soo, who was staring at team leader Heo In-seong at the sudden appearance, scratched the back of his head and opened his mouth.

"Why are you doing this all of a sudden?"

"I am the head of the Crime investigation team at the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency! Can't i even check Investigation of my subordinates?!"

Team leader Heo's face turned red.

Hyunsoo smiled.

"ah. You hit the head of the ward, but it seems like a situation where you hit him in a rather ambiguous way, so you think you're afraid that the head of the team will eventually be blown off?"

Team leader Heo In-seong's eyebrows rose at the corner of Hyeon-soo's mouth, which was gradually rising.

"Hey, what are you talking about! When did I hit the mayor in the back of the head!"

"Then why are you so furious?"

" I only showed a little bit of my back!"

"That's it."

Heo In-seong sighed as he bit his molars at Hyeon-soo, who did not lose a word.

Then, he turned his head to Police Officer Kim, who was at a loss for what to do next.

"You go out."

"Yes!"

When police officer Kim left the examination room, team leader Huh In-seong glared at Hyeon-soo.

"Anyway, yet! Didn't hit me in the back Be careful what you say in front of the rookie."

"I know. whatever it is So, if you've come this far, you mean you want to do your best to help me?"

"I'm not doing my best to help, just doing my job So what if nothing comes out?"

"Not to mention manslaughter charges, but at best, even sexual assault charges could be buried."

"Well, then, He could be as released innocent?!"

"Yes."

"fu*k!"

Team leader Heo In-seong slams the table 'bang!'

He had already given the mayor no help regarding Park Seok-hyun.

If Park Seok-hyeon, the son of the mayor, is not accused of sexual assault and murder, the mayor will not collapse.

If that happens, team leader Heo In-seong will have to endure the retaliation of the district head he feared so much.

"No, we have to stop being him released as innocent unconditionally Even if it's sexual assault, it's should unconditionally recognized !"

"Team leader."

Hyun-soo also felt that team leader Huh In-seong had reached an extreme level of nervousness.

Hyeonsu, standing in front of him, spoke slowly.

"Then please do what I asked for quickly."

****

"Mayor, Inspector Lee Hyeon-soo or something, he is more stupid than I thought. What the hell did you have the guts to do to arrest Park Seok-hyun?"

It was the hallway in front of the interrogation room.

Baek Jin, an attorney with his arms leisurely hanging over the window, was on the phone with the district mayor.

- Did things go well?

"Yes, hopefully less than the expected sentence I said, No, I don't think I need to go to prison at all."

- What? Really? Lawyer Baek, really?!

"Hahaha, this is Baek Jin. As an ace lawyer of the target law firm! Didn't I tell you that i have that much ability?"

- Thank you so much, thank you!!

Lawyer Baek Jin squeezed his cell phone tightly at the laughter of the district mayor.

'Now that's it. Since there is no evidence, Lee Hyeon-soo, Park Seok-hyeon can be safe regardless of whether or not he passes the prosecution opinion.'

Attorney Baek Jin, who turned his head and looked at the hallway for a while, opened his mouth to the phone again.

"There is no way to prove the fatality, and the allegation of sexual assault is a high school student, a first-time offender, and drinking alcohol, so if it is reduced to mental and physical weaknesses, then it is Perfect. As soon as the arrest warrant for Seok-hyeon is dismissed, I will go to the mayor."

-Yes, I will never forget this favor! Let me know if you want anything. I will help you unconditionally as far as I can.

Lawyer Baek Jin held his cellphone to his ear and bowed as if the real mayor was in front of him.

"Thank you, mayor!"

****

Behind the mirror in the interrogation room is the monitoring room.

Hyeon-su is looking at Park Seok-hyeon lying face down on the desk through the window, thinking hard about something.

"Damn it!! Even the article came out!!"

Next to Hyeon-soo, team leader Heo In-seong trembled nervously and squeezed his phone tightly.

"Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency, investigating a group sexual assault case involving Park Mo, the son of the district mayor, and the victim's death. Anyway, these journalists! Only when!!"

Heo In-seong, who continued to read the news with one hand, tore his hair out.

I hoped that even if it was quietly, the blow to the mayor would be small.

However, the situation has already spread the article.

I was already too lazy to get my foot out.

"Sh*t, What are you really doing. Hyunsoo Lee What are you going to do? Even if your request is done quickly, if there is no evidence!"

It was then.

A refreshing 'ding-' sound echoed through the monitor room.

It was the sound from Team Leader Heo In-seong's cell phone.

At the same time, Attorney Jin Baek entered the interrogation room and held up his cell phone toward the monitoring room.

"It has been dismissed."

Hyeon-soo urgently arrested Park Seok-hyeon.

In the case of an emergency arrest, the time to hold Park Seok-hyun without a warrant is only 48 hours.

The warrant must be requested within that time. However, if the warrant is dismissed, Park Seok-hyun must be released immediately.

What appeared on Baek Jin's cell phone was a screen that said the warrant had been dismissed.

Hyunsoo's brow furrowed.

"that, will you just let him go? Hyunsoo Lee!"

Lawyer Baek Jin, who put down his cell phone, took Seok Hyun Park out of the interrogation room.

Seeing them like that, team leader Heo In-seong grabbed Hyeon-soo's clothes.

"hey!"

Then, Ting!

Heo In-seong's cell phone rang again.

"Inspector Lee, what are you doing in the midst of this!...warrant cell phone tracking?"

Hyeonsu's head turned.

"Warrant, is it out?"

****

"Can I really just go like this?"

after a while

Park Seok-hyun is walking in the parking lot with lawyer Baek Jin, looking sloppy.

"The arrest warrant for student Park Seok-hyun was dismissed. Without a warrant, not even the police can do anything they want."

"Then what about those guys?"

Lawyer Baek Jin stopped walking at Park Seok-hyun's question.

"both? who."

"My friends. They are ones who said my name & blown up this mess, so can't you take them out so I can take care of them myself? A warrant or something, that's what my dad did. Those bastards, let me hit them few times."

At that time, Lawyer Baek Jin laughed loudly.

"Why are you laughing?"

"The best luck in the world is the parental. You were born lucky enough to receive that precious opportunity. Just not having that would be retaliation for my friends in there."

At his words, Park Seok-hyun nodded. Park Seok-hyun, who was released without paying for his crimes thanks to his parents, and his friends who got paid for their crimes because they didn't have such parents.

Park Seok-hyun was lucky, and his friends were unlucky.

At least, that was the case with Lawyer Baek Jin's logic.

Patting Park Seok-hyun on the shoulder, lawyer Baek Jin opened the car door.

"Come on, let's go to the mayor. Fasten your belt."

Attorney Baek Jin was in the best condition.

No evidence has come out, and the prosecution is full of their own sides.

All that was left now was the solid road.

That was when he was driving the the car out of parking out.

Boo-woong!

"I-I…."

Hyeonsu blocked the front of Lawyer Baek's car as he turned the steering wheel.

"That crazy!! Hey, what are you doing!"

Lawyer Baek Jin stepped on the brakes in surprise and hurriedly got out of the car.

"Are you crazy?! Why are you running in front of the car. What, what are you doing?"

Lawyer Baek Jin, who had raised his voice, turned his gaze to Hyeon-soo's hand.

something big in his hand.

"Hey, why a baseball bat."

"Can you open the trunk?"

"Huh?"

At Hyeon-soo's words, lawyer Baek Jin's expression became contemplative.

His face, which had been unmoved by questions about his cell phone in the interrogation room, instantly turned pale and hardened.

"Trunk, open it."

Lawyer Baek Jin, who hastily grabbed the mental cord that he almost missed, barely opened his mouth.

"Hey, do i have an obligation to open it? This can't be done without a warrant! Hey!"

But he's already in a panic.

Attorney Baek Jin had no choice but to watch as Hyeon-su, carrying a baseball bat over his shoulder, headed for the trunk.

"Now, no one sitting in the back, right? I don't want to hurt anyone."

Surprised, lawyer Baek Jin ran behind the car.

But it was already too late.

The opponent is a villain detective who does not care about fire.

The high-hanging bat hit the trunk window as it was.

Clink!!

"What are you doing!!"

Hyeon-soo did not stop despite lawyer Baek-jin's shouts and started breaking the trunk window.

And a few swings at the bat.

After brushing off the broken glass, Hyeon-soo put his hand in the trunk and started searching through it.

"Hey, hey! Even if you're a cop, it's illegal to do this!!"

Then, the moment when lawyer Baek Jin, who finally came to his senses, grabbed Hyeon-su's hand and tried to pull it out.

"found it."

Hyeonsu took his hand out of the trunk.

Then, when he saw something in his hand, lawyer Baek Jin froze.

In Hyeon-soo's hand was a gray cell phone.

"You did a great job with your brain."

"This, this."

"To buy time, I left the fake one in the park and held the real one myself. And I hoped."

It is a mobile phone containing evidence of Park Seok-hyun's sexual assault and a video to prove the murder charge.

Hyeon-soo, holding his cell phone, slowly approached Baek-jin.

"I think you have pretty good brain."

"...."

"That good brain, I hope you will use it in the trial."
