Chapter 25 – Big Sea (4)
Big Sea Lee Jae-han was immediately arrested as soon as Shin So-yi’s revelation was over.
The external hard drive and data in his bedroom were also confiscated.
According to Kim Jeong-tae’s account, Lee Jae-han shouted loudly the entire time he was taken to the association.
He said he knew how many friends he had in the political and business circles and associations, but he didn’t want to hear it in detail.
While Lee Jae-han was imprisoned behind bars, accusations against Lee Jae-han rained down in the entertainment industry.
When the revelation of Shin So-yi, a top actor, broke out, the victims, who had been holding their breath, began to raise their voices.
This allowed us to sit quietly in our offices and collect witnesses and evidence.
That’s all.
An investigation into the hunter gang members who worked under Lee Jae-han also began.
“Guys. This case, the violence law seems to be a bit difficult, so just put it as a crime of organizing a criminal organization.”
“Yes, chief.”
“What’s the difference between the two?”
Seo Ji-yu asked me so honestly that I got a headache…
I just told Alice, who was still upset, to explain.
“The punishment of the Act on Exploitation is harsher, but it is difficult to get recognition for it. Criminal organization crimes can catch not only gangsters, but also voice phishing organizations and fraudsters in the country.”
“Aha. Would you like some coffee?”
“I’m starting to notice now.”
As I nodded in satisfaction, Alice approached from behind.
Ever since she went to see Shinsoi, she’s been upset.
However, this time, I didn’t feel particularly remorseful.
Alice’s hatred and jealousy can’t affect me much…
It was quite moving that she raised her voice for her shinsoi.
There is nothing wrong with worrying about the victim’s mental state.
“Would you like some coffee too?”
“It’s true that you were wrong last time.”
“What?”
“I’ve been looking for it, and they say that it’s the sexual violence crime that witnesses’ testimony is essential? Wouldn’t there be no need to harass Mr. Shin So-yi if he had been arrested for prostitution?”
“Hey, I never thought I’d learn a lesson from you about the law.”
I replied in a joking tone and laughed.
Did I just not see that much?
In fact, you don’t even have to think too hard about it.
Alice is only performing her duties as a special unit inspector.
“Alice. If you brought up prostitution charges, you couldn’t even arrest Lee Jae-han in the association.”
“Why?”
“That’s because prostitution is a lighter crime than you can imagine.”
Apart from social cognition.
The punishment for prostitution in Korea can be considered an ultra-misdemeanor.
The statutory penalty for a simple sex buyer is imprisonment of up to one year or a fine of up to 3 million won…
Just looking at this, you can get an idea of how lightly handled it is.
And actually more than this.
“In the first place, prostitution cannot be arrested. Out of 100 people convicted of prostitution, 80 are given probation, and the other 20 are fined. Less than 2 out of 100 go to prison. Arrest for such minor crimes. Do you think can you make it?”
“Eh… Uh, that light?”
“Yeah. It’s completely ridiculous.”
In other words, it is hard to go to jail no matter what kind of pestilence you drop with a simple purchase.
Lee Jae-han may be able to weave the mediation, but…
It is an insult to the victims to dare to engage in prostitution.
“If you caught her for prostitution, it could be accepted that there was an agreement between the buyer and the seller… It’s right to catch her for rape, like now.”
“…”
Alice, while admitting she was wrong, raised another opinion.
“Then, shouldn’t she have asked Choi Na-hyun’s friend to be a witness? She said that she didn’t even need personal information, but why did she ask Shin So-yi…”
“Choi Na-hyun’s friend only received a request for sexual favors.
That’s why you can’t use Choi Na-hyun’s friend as bait.
Alice, who even acknowledged that, took on the challenge once more while her small body trembled.
“But… You have an oracle.”
“By the way?”
“Then couldn’t it have been possible to create evidence? Why, by manipulating the messenger app…”
“Do you… Make the evidence?”
My feelings of looking favorably toward Alice cooled down.
Even the team members who hadn’t heard our conversation stopped moving when they noticed the atmosphere here.
The office is frozen cold in an instant.
Alice seems to have realized that she said something wrong.
Recovering ‘existing evidence’ with an oracle is narrowly within the permissible range.
Isn’t digital forensic, which is commonly used by the police, similar?
But creating evidence that didn’t exist is another thing.
I said it as if I had promised not only to Alice but also to myself.
“Alice.”
“Uh, huh?”
“No matter what case I investigate, no matter what strong enemy I meet… I will never create evidence.”
I’m a criminal hunter who even uses extreme methods like assassination, but I can’t do that.
Even when I was promoting as Green Dust, I didn’t do that.
“Our investigation is also the task of confirming the innocence of the suspects. If the special unit with transcendental abilities and authority investigates, but no evidence comes out, then there really is no such thing.”
And if there is no evidence, there is no criminal or anything.
This is the minimum procedure for the special unit to function as an investigative agency.
“The Special Investigation Unit is an institution that catches real criminals based on real evidence. They don’t just randomly catch people they don’t like.”
“… I’m sorry. I think I said it too casually.”
“Never mind. I only looked like that.”
Remaining in the impression of Alice, I must have had a strong image as a lunatic killer and criminal…
It could be like that
I later decided that I would have to harass her Yeriel instead of her.
It must have been Yeriel’s fault for not properly educating her juniors.
‘Let’s see, Yeriel!’
The investigation was surprisingly easy, and not only Lee Jae-han’s female crimes, but also all of his subordinates could be arrested.
Of course, Lee Jae-han’s friends, who were said to be in the association with Jeong Jae-gye, did not appear.
Because things have grown so big, it’s obvious that if you show up now, you’ll be stoned together.
Of course, I found all of them.
“Those who aren’t hunters, organize the data and hand it over to the prosecution.”
“That’s the prosecutor’s office? Will they handle it properly?”
“I’m not expecting too much, but at least give it a chance.”
Lee Seo-woo, who knows the relationship between me and the prosecution, reacted suspiciously, but I was sure.
The top of the prosecution already knows my identity.
So, if you don’t want to be assassinated, you’ll show at least some level of sincerity.
This week has been insanely busy because I have to participate in the trial of the people I arrested earlier.
Still, it was very rewarding and enjoyable to send Yoo Si-hyun, Seong-yul, and the Golden Shield gang to prison.
“Chief, did you finish well?”
“It’s okay. Yoo Si-hyun gets 40 years in prison. The Golden Shield side gets about 15 years.”
At my words, Alice and Seo Ji-yu showed conflicting reactions.
“Even if it’s 40 years… The Golden Shield is 15 years old?”
“Fifteen years, that’s amazing.”
“Huh? Ah…”
Alice finally realized something when she saw Seo Ji-yu next to her.
In fact, the 15 years of stock price manipulation is itself huge.
Seo Ji-yu was able to collect 1 billion won due to her embezzlement of her.
Korea is so generous to economic offenders.
“Yoo Si-hyun’s side of her was guilty of kidnapping, confinement, sexual assault, distribution and sale of drugs, and unauthorized withdrawal from the association, so 40 years… This is a level of severe punishment that is rarely seen .”
“You didn’t seek the Golden Shield purely through stock price manipulation, did you?”
“Of course. It’s only been 15 years since we uncovered all the crimes and violations of the Association Act during the fabrication process. But the Golden Shield side will probably appeal. My estimate is that the end will come out in about 10 years.”
Of course, the main culprits, including the saints rate and the guild master, would be beaten much harder, and their sentences would hardly be commuted.
It takes a lot of money to lock up hunter criminals, but they beat me well.
It was proof that the superiors were paying attention to me… But it’s true that they’re paying attention.
Meanwhile, Alice suddenly began to feel uneasy.
The sentences of the criminals we had caught did not live up to her expectations of her.
“Then, isn’t Lee Jae-han just going to be released?”
“It can’t be like that. I went to visit Mr. Shinsoi for some reason.”
The crimes of Lee Jae-han in the great sea are being revealed one after another even at this moment.
There are so many guys that are tied up there, so it’s good to hit this or that extra.
As perverts usually do, Lee Jae-han did not receive sexual favors alone.
I clenched my fists and expressed my confidence.
“Right now, not only the entertainment world but also the political and business world are upset. Do you think that will happen?
“…”
I keep the minimum line in the evidence collection stage, and I don’t care much about the punishment of criminals who have become certain of the charges, even if it’s just a rubber band.
I don’t have the right to do that because I used to impose private sanctions on criminals.
Alice whispered in my ear, laughing for some reason.
“It’s okay to kill him. I’ll close my eyes.”
“Let’s see if the sentence comes out.”
For the first time since the formation of the Special Forces, we got off work amicably.
