You Have Been Defended [EN]: Chapter 612

You Have Been Defended – Episode 612

[Lee Young-min: No escape

cownew: Game over from the start

Wooshin Electronics: Wow

Geumsu River and Mountains: Wow

Pay Your Credit Card, Cherry: He just calls the victim Onodera’s heart…

Chief Detective: Disgusting as hell

ㅗMyungwha Pharmaceuticalsㅗ: Makes me want to puke]

“How did you hear it?”

Choi Jong-hyun asked, turning his gaze to the chat window.

[Go Sang-jun: So disgusting

Tears of the Minwoo Party: Seriously makes me want to puke, thinking of people as mere objects

Want to Eat Gwamegi: Aren’t these people politicians? How can people who treat others like objects do politics?]

We felt the same way when we first got our hands on those wiretapping files.

They only treat people within their inner circle as ‘people.’

And the scope of their inner circle is narrower than you can imagine.

Even loyalists like Kim Soo-chan and Gong Won-ho wouldn’t be included.

“What was today’s theme? The lies of those involved. What lies are revealed in this short conversation?”

Jo Bong-joon clicked on the PPT [PowerPoint] screen.

A neatly organized sentence appeared.

[Kim Soo-chan and Gong Won-ho’s claims:

1. Go Sang-jun knew nothing.]

“This has already been proven false. Onodera said he met Go Sang-jun directly and talked about organ trafficking.”

[Yang Soogeun: That’s right, there’s no reason to lie when they’re talking among themselves, lol

cownew: Let’s check Go Sang-jun’s passport

Want to Eat Gwamegi: Looks like the suspect is confirmed, lol

Yu Yu Yu: If this wasn’t here, they would have denied it until the end

Lee Dong-hwan: Ew]

“Ha, but I’m a little worried about how to investigate Onodera Masao. There’s no way he’ll come to Korea just because we ask him to.”

“Then we have to put him on Interpol’s wanted list.”

[Want to Eat Gwamegi: Interpol, lololololol

Chief Detective: The Prime Minister being on Interpol’s wanted list, lol

Lee Young-min: Seriously, international disgrace

Myeongseok Shin: I feel sorry for the people of that country, having such a bastard as their head of state, lol

Tears of the Minwoo Party: It’s realistically difficult, but it would be nice if it happened, lol]

With the audio made public, Onodera has no choice but to resign.

With the diplomatic burden reduced, putting him on Interpol’s wanted list is not such a distant possibility.

“We said something when we posted today’s notice: that we completed a 100,000-piece puzzle. After listening to the files, some very interesting content came out. Do you remember the theme of our comeback broadcast?”

[Want to Eat Gwamegi: I remember, lol. The broadcast that was cut off because of this incident started again

cownew: Angel’s House youth? Cha Joo-han’s contract killing? What are you talking about?

ㅗMyungwha Pharmaceuticalsㅗ: Using Angel’s House youth to kill lawyer Cha Joo-han?

Bring back the handsome lawyer…: ㅅㅂ…so pissed]

A new file popped up on the screen.

It was a summary of the data used when reporting on the Angel’s House case before.

“That’s right. For those who don’t know the case well, let me briefly summarize it. On May 13th, a student from Angel’s House requested help, and lawyers Cha Joo-han and Kang Min-jae from the law firm Jeongdo went to Munyeok. Just before arriving at the meeting place, a dump truck suddenly rushed towards the car that lawyer Cha Joo-han was in. Lawyer Kang Min-jae was seriously injured trying to prevent the accident. Afterwards, the dump truck driver fled, and the student who requested help disappeared and was later arrested for drug problems.”

[Baby Squirrel Jonghyun: Are you saying this is related?

Jung Min-joon: What happened to this case?

Chris Park: The dump truck driver confessed to the contract killing

Guyeonsan: This came out in that audio file???

Choi Jong-hyun’s Wig: Wow, so that’s why you said you completed the puzzle]

It wasn’t a very old case, so people remembered the outline quite well.

It was also investigated again in connection with organ trafficking, drawing attention.

Taking advantage of this momentum, a current affairs program recently aired a 70-minute broadcast on the theme of Angel’s House.

“As viewers have said, the dump truck driver confessed to the contract killing. And the prosecution is continuing its investigation into the dump truck driver. It’s not a closed case.”

“However, the dump truck driver who committed the contract killing failed to kill lawyer Cha Joo-han, so he didn’t receive any money. So who ordered it was a mystery. The puzzle was not fully assembled. But now we’ve solved it. Okay, let’s go to the next file.”

As soon as Choi Jong-hyun finished speaking, the next audio file popped up.

“Shortly after the conversation you just heard, an outsider entered briefly. So the conversation was interrupted, and it starts again here.”

[Onodera: Earlier, what did you mean by Angel’s House being monitored?

Oda: I recall mentioning that there was a slight problem in Korea before, or am I misremembering? Chairman Go is embezzling money from the Wooshin Welfare Foundation and lining his own pockets, and it seems a lawyer found out about it. You know, the one who sent Chairman Go’s children to jail one after another.]

As Oda Satoshi uttered the last sentence, the chat exploded.

[Bring back the handsome lawyer…: Is that lawyer our lawyer?

Yang SooGeun: Is it Cha Joo-han?

Tears of the Minwoo Party: The talk about lining pockets seems to be about L&B and KDL

Go Sang-jun: Was he trembling because he was caught?]

Focusing on the lawyer, my name soon burst out in various parts of the chat.

“He’s saying the lawyer sent Chairman Go’s children to jail one after another. It’s lawyer Cha Joo-han.”

It’s a very honorable title that I like very much.

It’s not easy for a lawyer, not a prosecutor or detective, to get such a title.

[Onodera: That lawyer smelled something and released people into Angel’s House.

Onodera: Isn’t Angel’s House under Wooshin’s jurisdiction? How is it possible for a mere lawyer to release people? Why not just kick them out?

(Oda Satoshi explains about the university students doing educational volunteer work at Angel’s House)

Onodera: Ha, you called monitoring the fact that only university students are coming and going? Are you kidding me right now……]

“The university students mentioned here are the students from the educational volunteer club that appeared in the Angel’s House case earlier. But those people didn’t start volunteering there because lawyer Cha Joo-han sent them, did they?”

Strictly speaking, I sent them, but it was Choi Jong-hyun who contacted the university students.

Choi Jong-hyun handled all related communication as well.

Of course, he had already finished discussing with the university students to keep this a secret as well.

So, Choi Jong-hyun is my alias, and even that was hidden.

Isn’t this a familiar tactic?

“Exactly. They’re just doing things that prick their conscience, so they’re fantasizing that lawyer Cha Joo-han sent a volunteer club to monitor them. We laughed so hard about it.”

[Woo Min-jung: lololol Sang-jun
Pyo Junseo: Sang-jun must be really bitter about getting outsmarted by lawyer Cha Joo-han.
BringBackHotLawyer: So, Ko Sang-jun broke his promise with the Japanese Prime Minister because he was afraid of getting caught by our lawyer Cha Joo-han?
ㅗMyungHwaPharmㅗ: Lawyer Cha Joo-han is a big shot lololol
cownew: Wow, Chairman Ko is totally scared lololol]

I don’t think Ko Sang-jun is necessarily scared of me.

If he were scared, it would be more like looking at a disgusting bug than being afraid.

But I don’t intend to correct people’s perception of that.

It would be ridiculous if Ko Sang-jun were afraid of just a mere lawyer.

[Oda: If it were just suspicion of lining his pockets, Chairman Ko wouldn’t be this flustered.
Onodera: No matter how much those guys suspect, isn’t it just suspicion in the end?
Oda: That’s…
Onodera: Being suspected doesn’t amount to anything. Being suspected and tracked by those kinds of guys is common in our country, in America, everywhere. But can’t you just create a conspiracy theory and make them look like fools writing their own novels? No, is it even worth the effort? Why not just kill them?
Oda: We already tried…]

At this point, Choi Jong-hyun paused the playback for a moment and opened his mouth.

“So, Onodera Masao says to just kill lawyer Cha Joo-han, right? And then what does Oda Satoshi say?”

“He says they already tried. Kyaa.”

[ㅗMyungHwaPharmㅗ: lololololol this is a confession?
Chris Park: What does ‘already tried’ refer to? Are they talking about the dump truck incident or trying to bury him in concrete at sea…
ChaJoohan: It’s ridiculous that there have been so many attempts to kill me that I don’t even know when they’re talking about lol
BringBackHotLawyer: You bastards ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ]

They finished their short comments and resumed playback.

[Onodera: If it failed, you have to keep trying until he dies. What’s going to happen if one measly lawyer dies? There will be people barking, but they’ll stop eventually. That Korean thing, you know. Short attention span.]

As soon as the words “short attention span” came out, the chat exploded even more than before.

It even lagged.

[Onodera: Is it because you don’t have enough money? Should I give you more money?
Oda: Oh dear… Is money the problem, Assemblyman? I will somehow persuade Chairman Ko to schedule Onodera-kun’s surgery as soon as possible.
Onodera: If that lawyer is the problem, can I kill him? It seems like Chairman Ko is scared for some reason and can’t kill one measly lawyer, so it’s come to this. I’ll kill him for you, so tell him to give me my grandson’s heart!]

Immediately after this, Onodera stormed out of the recording, so the second file ended here.

“So, when did Onodera decide to kill lawyer Cha Joo-han?”

Choi Jong-hyun circled the file name with his mouse pointer.

This was because the file name was set to the file creation date.

“It’s April 28, 2012. And the dump truck accident in Munyeok happened on May 13th. 15 days later. So, the previous attempt Oda Satoshi mentioned was the kidnapping and dragging out to sea incident. Well, this might not be enough to be evidence. But we can see that there was definitely an attempt to murder lawyer Cha Joo-han.”

[ㅗMyungHwaPharmㅗ: So that’s why they called it a 100,000-piece puzzle lololol
Park Jaehyung: The incidents are all connected ㄷㄷㄷ
Eunjumin: This is like watching a detective novel lololol Separate incidents turn out to be one stream
Edward Min: How many people is he trying to kill to save his grandson?
cownew: Trying to use that teenager at Angel’s House as bait to kill Cha Joo-han is a definite]

While the two, whose mouths were dry from talking non-stop, drank water to moisten their throats, the chat continued.

[Kim Siwoo: If he said he would kill him on April 28th and the accident happened on May 13th, isn’t that too early?
IamGoingToBeSuccessful: I agree, even if Onodera was in a hurry, it seems impossible to hire a hitman from abroad within 15 days
Reporter: It’s disgusting how they’re just attaching things as soon as they see an opportunity. How can you kill someone in 15 days?
WhatchaDoin: And he just said one word, right? How do you know if he actually did it?
StopItReporters: It’s disgusting to make Cha Joo-han a hero lololol
ThisIsWhatTheyCallMediaㅉ: It seems like they’re doing this because the dump truck driver confessed to being a hired killer, but there are rumors that he was pressured during the investigation and made a false confession
Sighㅋㅋ: There’s someone I know in the prosecutor’s office in charge of that case, and everyone knows that the prosecutor coerced a false confession]

What kind of nonsense is this again?

Did the prosecutor pressure Chun Jong-nam for my sake?

I was the one who pressured Chun Jong-nam.

Besides, there’s a prosecutor in the prosecutor’s office who is coercing a false confession from the suspect for me?

Even Park Young-ki or Lee Ye-jin, my few friendly forces, wouldn’t do that much.

“Sigh, okay. I understand. So, for lawyer Cha Joo-han’s sake, the prosecutor in charge of the dump truck accident cornered the dump truck driver and kept at it until he said, ‘It’s a hit-for-hire,’ right?”

“Kekekeke. That’s the funniest thing I’ve heard recently.”

Choi Jong-hyun and Jo Bong-joon started laughing, clutching their stomachs.

It seemed like they were reminded of me, who was disliked by legal professionals, including the prosecution, and was dragged around by the Bar Association president and Park Young-ki.

It’s better now that time has passed, but right after I left the prosecution, judges, prosecutors, and lawyers would become one and spend all night gossiping about me in the legal community.

Kang Min-jae even left a comment defending me and was suspected of being Cha Joo-han.

“If we laugh like this among ourselves, the viewers will feel left out. This is the last file we’ve prepared for today.”

The third audio file popped up.

[Conversation Participants: Onodera Masao, Oda Satoshi, Ko Yun-soo, Ko Yun-soo’s interpreter]

As soon as Ko Yun-soo’s name appeared on the video screen before playback, viewers instantly stopped arguing.

[nypd: OMG it’s Ko Yun-soo
LemonDeliveryAndDebtRepayment: OMG
TeardropsOfTheMinwooParty: OMG
Baekyeon-dongRazor: OMG
Kang Shinwoo: OMG]

“If you still say that the dump truck accident wasn’t caused to facilitate organ trafficking after listening to this, I have nothing more to say.”

Choi Jong-hyun pressed the play button.
