Seoul Southern District Prosecutors’ Office.
Kim Hyun-joo, who was in her third month as a prosecutor, still had a hard time going to work.
Every time I passed the entrance to the prosecutor’s office, I felt like hairs were sprouting all over my body, as if I was awakening.
It was because of something that happened on the first day of my commission.
The head of the Homicide Department gathered the new prosecutors and took them to the room salon.
There he gave a lengthy explanation of how to conduct an investigation.
In order for prosecutors to conduct an investigation well, they had to be on good terms with the investigators, that is, the chiefs.
And the manager talked about the most effective way to maintain relationships with managers:
– Do you know why I brought you here? It’s about getting used to it. Here, we buy the investigators good drinks and have fun with them. Become friends without any fault. Understand?
A manager who brings up embarrassing stories without any filtering in the presence of a female prosecutor.
That was just the beginning.
Because of this, Kim Hyun-joo found it very difficult to wake up in the morning and go to work.
‘This is a truly lawless zone.’
Kim Hyeon-joo, who had a hard time fitting into the organizational culture, waved happily at the portly middle-aged man in his 40s in front of her.
“Professor Joe!”
Seungho Cho turned around and frowned.
“Well, really. Don’t pretend to be friends with me. “Do you want to live as a prosecutor?”
Cho Seung-ho remains a rank-and-file prosecutor even in his 40s.
At least, Kim Hyun-joo was a senior prosecutor whom she could rely on.
This is because I saw that the rider was a gangster and the head prosecutor of the homicide department could not say anything in front of the rank-and-file prosecutor Cho Seung-ho.
“I have some questions.”
“What?”
“I was assigned a case this morning, but the outcome is a bit different from other cases.”
Kim Hyun-joo showed the case file to Cho Seung-ho without hesitation.
He then pointed to the post-it note attached there.
“This is on the front page. “What does the ‘Read carefully’ that the manager wrote mean?”
Seungho Cho sighed and handed the file back to Hyunjoo Kim.
‘You don’t notice.’
“You don’t want to be tested, do you?”
“yes?”
“I’m just asking.”
“If I’m being honest with my seniors, it’s difficult.”
“Shouldn’t you have been a lawyer instead?”
“Did you know the prosecution was like this?”
Seungho Cho shook his head.
Then he tapped the case file and answered.
“What is it? “It literally means take a good look.”
“Yes? Drunk driving, hit and run, and even casualties. This is unconditional arrest, right? “Looking at the records, there were two more cases of drunk driving.”
“It’s a strikeout on a special run. “You know how to do that on your own, right?”
Seungho Cho turned around and entered his office.
Kim Hyun-joo wrote ‘arrested’ in the file and posted the record to the manager’s office.
And 10 minutes later, I received a call from the manager’s office.
“Professor Kim. “Bring your stamp to my office.”
Kim Hyun-joo hurried up to the manager’s office with her stamp.
The chief prosecutor held out a file.
Attached to it was a piece of paper printed with the words, “There is no risk of flight, and the case will not be prosecuted as it is an agreeable case.”
On top of that he wrote “I will be redeemed.”
Kim Hyun-joo looked blankly at the chief prosecutor with an absurd expression.
“Put a stamp here. I told you to take a good look, huh? “Are you so clueless that you want to get tested?”
**
“Why are you so late?”
Cho Seung-ho got irritated by Kim Hak-dong’s question.
“Don’t say anything. “I got scolded the other day for trying to appease a new rookie prosecutor who was dragging his feet.”
The man sitting next to Kim Hak-dong smiled and opened his mouth.
It was Lee Hyeon-tae, head of the social affairs department of M Ilbo.
“Are you getting married?”
“Damn.”
Seungho Cho frowned and glared at Hyuntae Lee.
“You bastard, did you check my background?”
“Wow, you’re a female prosecutor.”
Hyuntae Lee chuckled, and Seungho Cho realized that he had been caught up in his Judo newspaper and sighed.
“Ha, scary bastards.”
The three of them quickly emptied their soju with the sizzling pork skin in front of them.
“Hyuntae, even if that’s the case, why did you agree?”
When Kim Hak-dong asked, Cho Seung-ho answered.
“Even if I wanted to file charges, it would all be cut from the chief’s office anyway. I thought it would be better to save at least one more penny. “I asked for a fairly large amount of money.”
“Hey, are you saving money? Are you really getting married?”
When Lee Hyun-tae chuckled and asked, Cho Seung-ho put a headlock on Lee Hyun-tae instead of answering.

“Hey, I’m really dying!”
“Just die.”
As Lee Hyun-tae squeaked, Cho Seung-ho finally relaxed his arms.
“How much will a prosecutor get paid? I’m a civil servant. “They all live off of kickbacks.”
“Wouldn’t it be better to quit and become a lawyer? “You make good money there, right?”
“Hey, you also have to defend bad guys to make money. “It doesn’t fit my personality.”
“Then what should I do? “Are you going to be a prosecutor until you retire?”
Seungho Cho giggled and held out a glass of soju.
“It’s not bad. “By harassing the manager’s bastards.”
Kim Hak-dong said, clinking glasses with them.
“Everyone please watch your mouth in this case. “There will be a background investigation.”
“It’s not just once or twice, tsk. Shut up and have a drink. “Because it’s annoying.”
Seungho Cho frowned and poured soju into his mouth.
**
Kim Hak-dong went to an office in Guro Digital Complex, full of intoxication, and made a phone call.
– Yes, daughter. Dad, I’m late today.
– You’re always late!
– Our Mi-kyung, you do well on your own, right?
– And if you get sick, you die to me, really.
– okay okay. Lock the door and study properly before going to bed.
– I’m a senior in high school. Do it in moderation!
The phone hung up with a squeak, and Kim Hak-dong laughed and knocked on the door.
“Who is it…”
Before he could hear an answer from inside, Kim Hak-dong opened the door and saw a man sitting in front of a computer.
Kim Hak-dong sighed and approached the giggling man.
“What do you do alone when you don’t go home?”
“Uh, is a school child here?”
President Moon Young-jo ran Nauri, which was once famous as a PC communication site, but fell due to the development of the Internet and now runs a web hard drive business out of a small office.
“Why are you giggling to yourself?”
Kim Hak-dong stuck his head out and looked at the screen.
“Ah, bastard. You’re being a keyboard warrior again. I told you not to fight with the chaebols! Then go to jail.”
“Tsk tsk, isn’t it fun? They keep giving reasons why large supermarkets shouldn’t come into small towns, but I can’t even properly refute them. “There is a lot of money, but there are just a lot of incompetent and terrible people.”
“What the hell. “Don’t you know that in a capitalist society, money is ability?”
“Why are you doing this again? “Did you come here to nag me?”
As Moon Young-jo frowned, Kim Hak-dong glanced around.
“When Nauri was run, there were over 100 employees, right?”
“···.”
“Now there are only five seats left.”
“Why are you bringing up the old story? “Depressingly.”
“Yeongjo.”
Kim Hak-dong dragged the chair next to him and sat down.
“why?”
“Let’s do business with me.”
“What is it, ALL Free Casting or something like that?”
“Uh, that.”
Let’s break the bridge of our nose
“Prosecutor Cho. “Come to the district prosecutor’s office.”
“What’s going on?”
However, the district prosecutor hung up the phone without answering, and Cho Seung-ho stood up with a clearly annoyed expression on his face.
Cho Seung-ho’s expression hardened as he went up to the district prosecutor’s office after telling the investigator that he would go out for a while.
This is because my great-grandfather, Young-Hwan Cho, caught my eye.
This was the reason why he was able to survive without being relegated to a local area despite such mishaps in the prosecution organization.
Seungho Cho bowed his head slightly in greeting and sat down on the sofa recommended by the district prosecutor.
“I heard that the Hanyoung Group incident was resolved in your hands, so I called you to praise you. “You are finally becoming a true prosecutor.”
Cho Seung-ho did not really agree with the praise of the district prosecutor.
Jo Yeong-hwan, his uncle and a living power from the Yushin era to the present.
He wouldn’t have let this case be properly investigated anyway.
So, he just put it off with his own hands.
Seungho Cho answered, nodding his head with a stern expression.
“He’s probably becoming a dirty prosecutor.”
The district prosecutor burst out laughing.
“It is rare to find a friend who speaks so honestly in the Southern District Prosecutors’ Office. “This is a friend who is truly attractive.”
Jo Young-Hwan also answered with a hearty laugh.
“The district prosecutor is having a hard time because of Hyeonson.”
“Hahaha, no.”
Seungho Cho asked while looking at the district prosecutor and Younghwan Jo.
“Why did you call me here?”
“I have something to ask you. Jeong-hwa incident.
“···yes.”
“Was there anything strange? “For example… internal reporting or something like that.”
Suddenly, Kim Hak-dong’s instructions from a few days ago passed through my mind.
– Everyone, watch your mouth. Because there will be a background investigation.
Anyway, one tip was a very good guy.
“Can you tell me in detail?”
“While investigating the case, have you ever heard names like Choi Young-jun, Choi Hye-na, or Kim Cheol-soo?”
At the words of the District Prosecutor’s Office, Jo Young-hwan keenly examined Jo Seung-ho’s expression with barely visible eyes hidden by his eyebrows.
Seungho Cho calmly shook his head.
This was because it was a name I had never heard of while investigating the case.
“Choi Young-jun and Choi Hye-na are the children of Choi Kyung-hoon, Chairman of Hanyoung Group…”
Cho Seung-ho, who saw that Cho Young-hwan’s face, who had always been very kind, crumpled slightly when he heard that Choi Hye-na was Choi Kyeong-hoon’s child, smiled and continued speaking.
“Kim Cheol-soo is the one who had the wedding of the century with Miss Hye-na a few months ago, right? Chairman Choi Kyung-hoon’s son-in-law.”
“… That’s right.”
“There is no way they could damage the image of the Hanyoung Group on their own, and while investigating the case, I never heard of such a name.”
The district prosecutor turned his head and glanced at Jo Young-hwan, who hid his sharp, beast-like eyes.
Judging by his facial expressions and body language, Seungho Cho seemed to know absolutely nothing.
Younghwan Jo smiled and nodded lightly.
‘This guy doesn’t know anything. Was it really a simple incident?’
There was a report from Director Baek Jun-seok that Choi Kyung-jun showed a very disappointing performance in this incident.
Accordingly, Cho Young-hwan set out to investigate the truth.
But nothing in particular came out.
This is because both parties said the same thing.
Either everyone kissed, or it really wasn’t a big deal.
The district prosecutor asked a few more questions, and Cho Seung-ho answered them faithfully.
“If you don’t have any more questions, I’ll just head down. “There is a case we are investigating.”
“okay. Good work.”
Jo Seung-ho bowed his head again and stood up.
“Please come down during the ancestral rites.”
To Jo Young-hwan’s words, Cho Seung-ho glanced at him without replying and left the district prosecutor’s office.
“You must be having a lot of trouble because of that friend.”
Jo Yeong-hwan laughed at the words of the district prosecutor.
“I grew up without parents, so my education is lacking. “One day, that guy will realize that he is a member of the Shinchang Jo clan.”
Their conversation could be heard as if passing by Seungho Cho’s ears as he came out the door.
‘Jo Yeong-hwan, how dare you bring up my parents…!’
Seungho Cho quietly closed the door to the district prosecutor’s office and clenched his fists with a distorted expression.
