Devil Returns to School Days Chapter 186

34. A long-awaited moment (6)

It was unexpected.

When Yoon Hyun-min showed up without a single lawyer, Kang Dong-cheol, sitting across from him, spoke sincerely.

“Why? Just responding to the investigation like this would be a loss for you.”

First question.

The message was explicit.

Kang Dong-cheol was already convinced that Yoon Hyun-min was behind it, so this could never be said to be a good move for Yoon Hyun-min. A problem becomes a real problem when you accept that it is a problem. Until now, no matter how serious it was, it could have ended up as a conspiracy theory, but Yoon Hyun-min turned it into a real problem when he appeared at the prosecution.

Hyunmin Yoon looked on in silence.

Knowing the unspoken meaning, Kang Dong-cheol turned off the recording function in the interrogation room.

Click.

“Speak comfortably. “Anything you say from now on will have no effect in court.”

“Is that so?”

Hyunmin Yoon laughed.

Deputy Chief Prosecutor Kang Dong-cheol.

Even after hearing about his opponent’s reputation, Hyunmin Yoon did not show any sign of flinching.

“Sometimes silence is not the answer. National Assembly member Kim Pan-ho, and prosecutor Kang Dong-cheol who is right in front of me. Big figures have proven the existence of the Golden Circle in their own way, but what would happen if they remained silent when they were pointed out as the masterminds? People will single me out and have a negative influence on Taeyang Group. So I personally appeared before the prosecution. “If we don’t avoid the problems we face and address them head-on, people will think that conspiracy theories are nothing more than conspiracy theories.”

“Do you think you are innocent?”

“I guess the prosecutor is confident that he will find out my crime.”

Tension was rampant.

The two men did not avoid looking at each other.

“I heard this from people around me who work in the legal field. It’s a knife for killing cows. He is very fair and honest, so if the moment comes to catch a big person, he is the right person. That’s why everyone is even more upset. Prosecutor Kang Dong-cheol, not another prosecutor, proved the existence of the Golden Circle and shot me, so doubts must have bloomed in people’s minds. What I want to say is that you should do your best in this investigation. Please do whatever it takes to reveal that Hyunmin Yoon is the mastermind behind the Golden Circle. “What if this case ends up being ‘not guilty’?”

Full face.

A creepy smile appeared.

“The people involved in this will definitely pay the price.”

* * *

The full-scale interrogation began.

Kang Dong-cheol said.

“National Assembly member Lee Gyeong-cheol. “What’s your relationship with him?”

“Personally, we have no relationship. Publicly, we can say that Taeyang Group is his sponsor.”

“According to the information we have secured, there is circumstances showing that your connection with Lee Kyung-cheol is the ‘Golden Circle.’ At the time when the Golden Circle is believed to have been created, Taeyang Group decided to sponsor Lee Kyung-cheol, and recently, an issue arose where Kim Hyun-seong assaulted Lee Kyung-cheol’s son, Lee Cheong-su. “I understand that there was controversy at the time because Lee Cheong-soo’s school life was very similar to the Golden Circle’s style. Are you planning to dismiss all of this as a coincidence?”

“Yes, it’s a coincidence. “Isn’t that a minor problem created by the power of National Assembly member Lee Kyung-cheol?”

Minor issues.

Kang Dong-cheol’s eyebrows twitched at those words.

“Yes, that could happen. Your contact with Lee Kyung-cheol, and the circumstances surrounding his children being cared for in the Golden Circle manner. If there is no real evidence, you can say it’s just a coincidence. The problem is that there are circumstances in which National Assembly member Lee Gyeong-cheol used his power in various ways to attack Kim Hyun-seong’s guardian, Go Chang-beom, and Myungjin Construction, where he was serving as managing director. At that time, the tax investigation of Myungjin Construction was quite malicious. And the circumstances under which it was stopped are also questionable.”

Okay.

I handed over the data.

“Myungjin Construction is not much different from other construction companies. Although they receive a lot of support from people by providing high-quality homes at reasonable prices, they also did not hesitate to engage in entertainment and bribery to win orders in the early days. The problem is this construction industry. Even though this is an industry where results are bound to come out if a tax investigation proceeds, the National Tax Service, which is presumed to have received your request, backed out after revealing that there was no problem. The point of contact was the person who received bribes from Myungjin Construction. “Because they belong to the Golden Circle, you probably decided that it would be very difficult for you.”

“I don’t know.”

“Then what about this? There are circumstances in which Lim Cheol-hyung, CEO of Mirae Investment & Securities, visited you immediately after the officetel incident failed. Of course, he immediately announced that it was an investment issue, but Lim Cheol-hyung is a very influential person who is presumed to belong to the Golden Circle. “Many of those in power who are friendly with the Taeyang Group are through this Lim Cheol-hyung.”

“Didn’t you just say it directly? It’s an investment problem. In fact, immediately after that meeting, Taeyang Group and Mirae Investment & Securities made investments in the battery business. “I remember it was also announced in an article.”

For all your questions.

All the answers existed.

Although the connection between Lee Gyeong-cheol and Lim Cheol-hyung and others who were presumed to belong to the Golden Circle was pointed out, there was a clear justification, even if it was doubtful. Investment issues, sponsorship, etc. Kang Dong-cheol persistently asked questions for a long time, but he never achieved meaningful results.

The data prepared by Kang Dong-cheol was considerable.

The correlation between Hyunmin Yoon and the Golden Circle.

Clear circumstances.

It could be said that it was almost close to the truth, but the problem was that there was no decisive ‘one shot’.

‘Is this why you appeared before the prosecution on your own? In the end, he must have been convinced that he could not completely prove the crime.’

It was a step faster.

Before Kang Dong-cheol could secure solid evidence, Yoon Hyun-min appeared at the prosecution himself and took away the timing. It is not easy to escalate further with the same incident. Rather than simply relying on his own background to commit such a reckless act, Yoon Hyun-min had his own judgment in his head.

Hyunmin Yoon said.

“You know what? I responded to this investigation without a single lawyer. If I leave here without getting a clue that I am behind the Golden Circle, not only will Prosecutor Kang Dong-cheol’s reputation fall to the ground, but it will also become impossible to investigate me for the ‘same reason’. I plan to make it like that. The media outlets that record the voices of Taeyang Group will talk about this incident so that the world will be in an uproar. “Whatever the truth is, it makes me look innocent on the surface.”

Okay.

I looked at the clock.

The investigation has come to an end.

Kang Dong-cheol does not have much time left.

“So what? How do you plan to prove my guilt?”

* * *

In the end, the investigation ended like that.

Leaving behind Kang Dong-cheol’s strange gaze, Yoon Hyun-min came out.

“Thank you for your hard work.”

The secretary approached.

When I said that I would tidy up Yoon Hyun-min’s messy clothes, Yoon Hyun-min said with a happy expression.

“What are you doing?”

“Reporters are waiting outside.”

“So I have to go out looking even more messed up. The successor of the Taeyang Group was investigated by the prosecution himself, and came out looking so messed up, but in the end, there was no evidence. What would people think if the media made such a fuss? Ah, something is wrong. This is just a conspiracy theory. “Rather than singling out me as the culprit, public opinion will arise that I might be innocent.”

“I was short-thinking.”

The secretary lowered her head.

He raised his hand to stop him.

My heart felt warm.

I felt like the irritation that had been rising every time the names of Kim Pan-ho and Kang Dong-cheol popped up had disappeared.

“Let’s stop.” “I have to show the ignorant public how tired I am.”

I took a step.

Let’s go out like that.

Papapot.

Papa papa pot.

As expected, reporters captured Yoon Hyun-min on camera at once.

* * *

It was the same as the first time.

Although he clearly showed signs of hardship, he appeared in front of the camera with a confident face, as if he had confidently entered the prosecution office.

the reporter asked.

“How was the investigation?”

“As someone who sincerely wants the truth to come out, I faithfully participated in the investigation.”

“Are you sure of your innocence?”

“Yes, I’m sure. That’s why I was happy to be here and be able to prove it when the investigation was over.”

Papapot.

The camera continued to emit light.

Beyond the camera.

Many people will be watching.

Yoon Hyun-min showed a serious expression that he had practiced countless times and continued speaking as if appealing to people.

“In fact, the choice to undergo a prosecution investigation was not an easy one. I don’t know why student Kim Hyun-seong identified me as the mastermind, but there was no actual evidence, so there was no need for me to volunteer for the investigation. Everyone around me also tried to stop me from making this decision. “It’s just a conspiracy theory, but if you throw yourself into the fire, the conspiracy theory will never end.”

It caught my attention.

Hyunmin Yoon’s voice had great power.

“Nevertheless, I chose to be investigated. After the rumor spread, Taeyang Group’s stock price plummeted, and many people belonging to Taeyang Group suffered damage because of that one person. I am a business manager. As someone who works hard every day to keep Taeyang Group moving forward, I wanted to resolve the intangible pain that Taeyang Group members would experience emotionally, beyond the visible losses. What on earth did I do wrong? As revealed in this investigation, there is no actual evidence anywhere, so why on earth is the conspiracy theory spreading nationwide as if I am already behind it?”

Okay.

I looked around.

I looked at the people who existed beyond the camera.

“I participated in the investigation because I wanted to be honest about myself. With my name and everything I have achieved, I tell you that I have nothing to do with the Golden Circle. However, I will not blame the current public opinion. If I am cleared of the charges and return to my original position as a person, then I will do my best to uncover the truth, just like you all. “If a group called the Golden Circle really exists, I also want them to be punished.”

Tuk.

Finished speaking.

I was just about to leave the place.

It was then.

“I will ask you again. Can you say with confidence that there is no lie in what you say?”

Someone jumped out through the crowd.

It was a familiar face.

Jeonghan Ilbo Bang Hyeon-tae.

He was like a thorn in his eyes.

Hyunmin Yoon spoke with a determined face without showing any emotion.

“Yes, I can say that with confidence.”

“All right. “I will convey it to people exactly as it was meant to be.”

Bang Hyeon-tae stepped down.

passed him by

When Yoon Hyun-min finally got into the car, he left the flashlight behind and left the prosecution.

* * *

finished.

The investigation was completed without any problems, and I also liked the speech I made in front of people.

Although the situation clearly went according to the expected scenario, Yoon Hyun-min could not hide his discomfort.

‘what?’

Bang Hyun-tae’s last question.

It was as if he was guiding his words.

It seemed like the intention was to reaffirm the statement that there was no crime and that the person was innocent, and to display it to the public.

why?

If you think about it, Gangdong Railroad was also strange.

Kang Dong-cheol is not a person who is called a cow-killer simply because of his beliefs, but he has shown the precision to cut off the opponent’s life with just one bite. However, the timing of his press conference and his failure to properly prove his guilt are also the same. He seemed a little sloppy. If Kang Dong-cheol was as good as his reputation, he should have at least one ‘deadly weapon’ that could embarrass him.

Of course there won’t be.

That’s why he was proud of himself, and if that was the case, Kang Dong-cheol shouldn’t have revealed his true feelings through the press conference in the first place.

I suddenly became uncomfortable.

The good feeling felt like it was falling away.

“… … Director. “It seems like there’s a problem.”

Passenger seat.

The secretary turned her head and showed a pale face.

His reaction, his expression.

It proved that the uncomfortable feeling irritating my nerves was not just anxiety.

“It is said that Lim Cheol-hyung, CEO of Mirae Investment & Securities, called a press conference regarding the Golden Circle a little while ago.”
