You Have Been Defended [EN]: Chapter 564

[─It’s absurd that they didn’t apologize and instead blamed the club in this situation.

─Right. Anyway, the volunteer work ended like that, but, thankfully, the kids relied on us a lot. So, even after the volunteer work ended, some kids contacted us. We also felt sorry for leaving without saying goodbye properly, so we contacted them from time to time.

─So, you didn’t hear anything about Min-soo after that? You must have quit without knowing why Min-soo suddenly tried to frame you.

─Yes, that’s right.

─Do you know the reason now?

─Yes. I think I was more comfortable when I didn’t know the reason. Honestly, it was so shocking…….]

The video ended there.

While Kim Jung-woo prepared to play the next video, Choi Jong-hyun and Jo Bong-joon read the chat messages.

[GangdongDistrictKing : What is it? What’s the reason? Why is it shocking?

Goguryeo : Seriously, it keeps coming out. What is it?

oh jangwoo : Please, I hope it’s not what I’m thinking… Please….

Edward Min : So, who are those adults who didn’t even give A pocket money?

Umbrella : Can you please talk about those adults who didn’t give pocket money soon? Why are you suddenly talking about A and then switching to A’s friend, Min-soo?

Beach : Don’t stray off topic to waste time, just get to the point]

“The reason I brought up Min-soo is because I need to talk about him to explain who those adults who didn’t give pocket money are. It would be easier for us to just throw out the conclusion, but we want to convince as many people as possible. That’s why we worked so hard on the video arrangement to make sure it’s easy to understand.”

[MinwooSorrow : Just grab some popcorn and watch

ApolloBeliever : Just be quiet and they’ll explain it to you. If you’re new to broadcasting, just wait a bit

Simcheong : Seriously, I’ve seen a lot of broadcasts like this, but this is the only one that neatly organizes everything without leaving any questions. Let’s just wait

DetectiveChief : And I don’t know why Min-soo did that, but it seems to be closely related to A. That’s why they’re talking about Min-soo. Just shut up and watch]

Perhaps because of Jo Bong-joon’s annoyed words, the viewers soothed and coaxed him, who was over forty.

The sulky middle-aged man quickly relaxed his expression and opened his mouth.

“We even invited a guest, so it’s not good if you talk so disappointingly. Yes?”

Jo Bong-joon said that while looking somewhere beyond the screen, specifically at me.

[ChoiJonghyunsWig : Huh… a guest? Really???

HandsomeLawyerComeback.. : ?????? Our lawyer?????????????????

ChaJuHan : ????????????

HandsomeLawyerComeback.. : Wow, I like the nickname above

ChaJuHan : lolololol I just changed my name and logged in today, and the person himself appears right away

MinwooSorrow : Could it be lawyer Kang Min-jae? Lawyer Cha Ju-han doesn’t seem to like appearing on broadcasts

cownew : Lawyer Kang Min-jae is good, and lawyer Cha Ju-han is also good lolololol Call the guest quickly lolololol

ㅗMyungHwaPharmaceuticalㅗ : Lawyer Kang Min-jae is subtly humorous, so I like him lolololol

jin semin : He’s the former president’s grandson, but he seems sincere, so I personally like him lololol]

Kang Min-jae, who was sitting next to me watching the chat, was already resting his chin on his hand and smiling to himself.

I’m the one who uses their broadcast the most, but I still don’t think going on this broadcast often is a good choice.

No matter how much the platform has changed, and even though Choi Jong-hyun, who has a status as a journalist, is hosting the broadcast, it’s still an internet broadcast, isn’t it?

In 2012, internet broadcasts tend to seem frivolous to conservative people.

In fact, when I met the president of the Bar Association with the help of Deputy Chief Park Young-gi, he said something like that.

The gaze towards a young special prosecutor won’t be very favorable, so be careful with your behavior.

Still, this case is special.

It’s different from my plan, but it seems like it will be the beginning of the end for Wooshin.

I want people to know that we were at this starting point.

“We will bring lawyer Cha Ju-han to the studio!”

[HandsomeLawyerComeback.. : Ahhhhhhhhhh Is today my birthday ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

MinwooSorrow : Oh, it’s been a while ㄷㄷ

HandsomeLawyerComeback.. : Why isn’t there a donation button? Can’t we go back to the platform? I need to donate…

KimSangjoonIsHere : But honestly, lawyer Cha Ju-han is no fun. He’s a bit stiff, so it’s not a fun combination ㅠ

HandsomeLawyerComeback.. : What are you talking about? Just sitting still is worth 50 million viewers;]

I was about to step into the camera angle, but Kang Min-jae kept grabbing me and making me read the chat, so I missed the timing.

Kang Min-jae especially emphasized the chats that said I was ‘no fun’ and even laughed while holding his stomach.

If Kim Jung-woo hadn’t been watching Kang Min-jae to prevent his voice from being heard, he would have burst out laughing.

“Everyone, it’s been a while since he’s appeared, so please give him a round of applause. We decided to give him 1 billion won for appearing. 1 billion.”

“Funny. You don’t even have 100 million won.”

“It’s a full loan.”

“You can’t get that much of a loan. You don’t have a job anymore……”

[BabySquirrelJonghyun : ㅉㅠㅉㅠㅉㅠㅉㅠ (Clapping for lawyer Cha Ju-han and shedding tears for Jonghyun’s financial situation)

Sigma : ㅉㅠㅉㅠㅉㅠㅉㅠㅉㅠㅉㅠ

GoingThroughTheRain : ㅉㅠㅉㅠㅉㅠㅉㅠㅉㅠ

KimSeunghyun : ㅉㅠㅉㅠㅉㅠㅉㅠㅉㅠ]

“I’ll give you the account number separately after the broadcast for the appearance fee. There are so many things you can do with 1 billion won.”

“No, why are you trying to extort money from me when you got a tax investigation because of a real estate jackpot?”

[BongjoonaLet’sGoToSchool : lololololololol That’s right, cownew was the only flaw he could find… the investment was a jackpot…

orient : The article photo is too much, isn’t it? This is also a camera, but the video is much better;;;

HandsomeLawyerComeback.. : Do you know why the Earth’s axis is slightly tilted? It’s to pay respect to you, Cha Ju-han..

HandsomeLawyerComeback.. : The lawyer can stop Crayon Shin-chan… The lawyer knows how to make other people’s rice cakes look bigger than his own… The lawyer can see Adam Smith’s hand… When people first discovered pi, the lawyer said… ‘Shall I tell you the last digit?’”]

“Oh, stop chatting, everyone. The lawyer can’t even catch the timing to greet us. We were in the middle of an important conversation, did we ask the lawyer to come out for nothing?”

[HandsomeLawyerComeback.. : I will not chat from today]

In the meantime, the number of viewers increased even more.

Perhaps the news that the guest himself would be speaking spread around, so many people came in.

That was enough, it was time to get to the point.

Kim Jung-woo also felt it was the right timing and gestured to continue the broadcast quickly.

“Hello. I am lawyer Cha Ju-han from the law firm Jeongdo.”

“Yes, of course. I know. If you’re coming out here to speak in person today, it must be a huge story.”

“The video we saw earlier was about the students from the club who volunteered at a certain orphanage. Jeongdo has agreed to help directly if there is a police investigation, so you know it well. I know that many people decided to help after learning that the club was in trouble after the incident was reported. But in fact, you have a deeper connection.”

“Yes. To be more specific, I think we need to go back to what our lawyer Kang Min-jae said in a phone interview on this broadcast.”

“Ah, you’re talking about the incident where lawyer Kang Min-jae was urgently heading to Munyeok after receiving a call from student A and was involved in an accident with a dump truck?”

“That’s right.”

[KimSatgatSatgat : I have no idea how much is involved in this

cownew : The whole incident is really strange;;;; To call it simple abuse, the dump truck accident is really suspicious]

“After lawyer Kang Min-jae had the accident, we were 정신이 없었지만 [out of our minds], but our original purpose for heading to Munyeok was to help student A. Of course, when I saw the dump truck rushing towards me, I thought that student A was bait……. If that’s the case, then student A is involved in a crime, so they need help. Also, as a result, neither I nor lawyer Kang Min-jae died, so the bait operation failed. So, we had to worry about what would happen to student A afterwards.”

“I see.”

“If it wasn’t bait and it was really a separate incident, then we needed to find out about that as well. According to student A, they didn’t want to go to study abroad, so they looked for people to ask for help and chose us. There must be a reason why they thought we were the right people.”

“Either way, you were in a situation where you had to find out about student A.”

“That’s right.”

[IWantToEatGwamegi : The lawyers showed kindness, but instead they were betrayed…ㅠ

jungmin shin : It’s amazing that you tried to help A even after the accident… If it were me, I would have been resentful and wouldn’t have felt like itㅠ

HandsomeLawyerComeback.. : Even the personality is perfect…

KimDongshik : Lawyer Kang Min-jae was seriously injured, so he must have been 정신이 하나도 없었을듯 [out of his mind]ㅠ]

“First, we worked on tracing student A’s footsteps in Munyeok, and these two here helped a lot. So, we were able to secure a video of student A coming out of the Munyeok terminal with two adult men. So, we started paying attention to these two adult men.”

“That’s been the question all along. Student A was with two adults on Saturday afternoon, the day after running away from home, but they said they found student A with difficulty at a certain orphanage on Monday afternoon. Something’s strange, right?”

“Yes. But you can also think of it this way. Assuming that there is definitely a force that tried to kill me, let’s say that force approached A, who ran away from the orphanage. And A, under the instruction of that force, dragged me in. A failed to achieve the goal and wandered around between Sunday and Monday before being discovered by the orphanage official who was originally there. At that time, A lied to the orphanage official because they were scared. They worked at a construction site and earned living expenses for the weekend. And the orphanage official believed this. In this case, the orphanage becomes unrelated to the force that tried to kill me.”

[dsslam : Cha Ju-han is saying it himself that the orphanage may not have instigated A lololololol

GuWonmo : The victim himself is saying it may not be, but come out, you guys who said that Wooshin did the murder request because the orphanage foundation where A was was Wooshin lololol

ParkSeungpyo : Seriously, where are all the guys who were still saying cownew even though the person himself came out and said it wasn’t lololol]

“Oh, is that what the lawyer thinks? That student A was instigated by a third force to act as bait.”

“No. However, I’m saying that at first, we couldn’t completely rule out that possibility. So, we had to look into it from various angles, and I mentioned it to say that we couldn’t immediately report it to the press or the police. Of course, that possibility has now disappeared.”

[ㅗMyungHwaPharmaceuticalㅗ : It’s not, right, you part-timers? lolololol He’s asserting that the possibility has disappeared? Oh, are you not part-timers but Wooshin honorary firefighters?

MinwooSorrow : lololololololol They chatted because it seemed like Cha Ju-han was saying it wasn’t Wooshin’s fault lololololol

IWantToEatGwamegi : This time it wasn’t an English nickname lololol It might not be a part-timer but just people who are really self-projecting onto Wooshin lololololol]

“Is there a reason why you’re asserting that the possibility has disappeared?”

“To avoid confusion, I’ll tell you the story in the order of events. We kept trying to find student A. It didn’t seem like student A had left the existing orphanage and gone to another shelter. Student A was spotted here and there in Seoul, and there was no consistency in the locations at all. We couldn’t determine where they were based. So, we considered the possibility that student A had contacted their friends and expanded the scope of our investigation in that direction.”

“But from the lawyers’ point of view, you might have thought that student A might have returned to the orphanage. Didn’t you inquire there?”

“We considered it, but we didn’t. First of all, student A was feeling very 불안감 [uneasy] about the policies of that facility. So, if we rashly contacted the orphanage, it could 오히려 [rather] harm student A.”

“I see. So?”

“Then, by chance, we discovered student A meeting a student named Min-soo, whom the volunteers mentioned earlier. We confirmed that student A and Min-soo were close on SNS [social networking services], and we went there without any plan to meet Min-soo, but we were lucky.”

It was the result that the employee who was following Kim Young-ji had 힘들게 [with difficulty] obtained, but I couldn’t reveal that fact, so I borrowed the power of coincidence appropriately.

If I said that I had been following Kim Young-ji since then, people would think strangely, and secondly, our power would be exposed to the House of Angels.

In the meantime, we have been making efforts such as renting an office in front of the House of Angels.

If the House of Angels strengthens its security in the meantime, it is natural for them to be suspected.

Then we might miss So-eun’s movements.

We can’t reveal the fact that we have been watching the House of Angels for longer than they think.

“Yes. To explain the situation before and after that, Min-soo contacted an orphanage official in front of the school. There seemed to be discord between the orphanage official and Min-soo. The orphanage official suddenly snatched Min-soo’s cell phone, and when Min-soo got angry, they said they would let him meet student A and took Min-soo to a nearby alley. Here are the related photos. PD [production director], can you show the images?”

At my words, Kim Jung-woo immediately showed the photos.

It was an image captured from the video where I could observe Son Jung-min’s 모습 중독된 [addicted appearance] for the first time.

It showed Kim Young-ji and Eom Seong-yoon, and even the man in the driver’s seat of the 봉고차 [van].

Of course, it was 모자이크 처리 [mosaic processed/blurred].

I didn’t really want to cover Kim Young-ji and the driver, but I had no choice because it was legally problematic.

“When we arrived at the alley, a van was waiting, and this is a photo from that time. The person sticking their face out of the van window is student A, and the student in the school uniform standing in front of the door is Min-soo. The person right next to Min-soo is the orphanage official. The person in the driver’s seat is of unclear affiliation.”

“So, that means student A and Min-soo met under the supervision of an official from a certain orphanage?”

“That’s right. At that time, student A didn’t show any particular resistance or unpleasantness. Rather, they said something that seemed to soothe Min-soo, who seemed to have discord with the orphanage official. Based on that fact, we can conclude that student A was in the van voluntarily.”

“It’s really full of questions. Then who is that 봉고차 [van] driver? The orphanage said that A wouldn’t even meet them and that they had to 살살 달래면서 다뤄야 했다고 [handle them gently and coaxingly].”

Instead of answering, I signaled Kim Jung-woo to open the prepared image.

“This image will be familiar to you.”

“That’s right. It’s an image of student A with the stingy adults who didn’t give them pocket money at the Munyeok terminal. We showed it to the viewers as a video on the last broadcast.”

“Yes. It took a long time to confirm, but after comparing the images after 작업 화질 복구하는 등의 [working to restore the image quality, etc.], the person standing to the left of student A at the Munyeok terminal and the person sitting in the driver’s seat of the van are the same person.”
