Chapter 917 – 917. Homecoming (7)
Eunhyun attended the police station and was interrogated along with Eleanor, who accompanied her.
Only after meeting with the investigator in charge and starting the investigation in earnest was Eunhyeon able to confirm the full story of the case she was accused of.
“…”
I checked the name written on the complaint.
The name of the person who sued you.
It was a familiar name.
As he expected, they were classmates from high school that he had met when he went to the convenience store with Erin.
Eunhyeon looked blankly at the complaint he was holding in his hand without saying a word.
The contents of the complaint were as follows.
The crime was assault causing injury.
A few months ago, a school classmate whom he had reunited with for the first time in a long time punched him, and the preemptive attack caused him and five other people in his group to suffer damage equivalent to three weeks of war.
I read the contents of the complaint over and over again, including the five victims’ statements in the hospital’s medical certificate to prove the three-week transposition.
I felt like I had been hit hard in the back of the head.
Never in his life did he imagine that he would experience being sued.
“Do you admit the charges?”
“…”
Eunhyeon was unable to give any answer to the investigator’s questions.
His words didn’t even reach Eunhyeon’s ears.
Eleanor grabbed Eunhyeon’s hand, who was trembling while holding the complaint.
“Ah.”
Eunhyeon, who belatedly woke up from her thoughts, looked at Eleanor.
“Come to your senses.”
“… Thank you.”
Eunhyeon thanked Eleanor for waking her up from her confusion.
“Whoa…”
He took a deep breath, composed himself, and faced the investigator.
“Hmm.”
The investigator let out a small breath and looked at Eunhyeon.
The atmosphere itself is completely different from before.
Unlike the first time he experienced it and was in a state of panic, unable to hide his embarrassment about the accusation, he was showing quite a firm look in his eyes.
‘Is this woman the cause?’
The investigator glanced at Eleanor sitting next to Eunhyeon.
She introduced herself as her lawyer and claimed to be Eun-hyeon’s lawyer, and was assisting Eun-hyeon by her side.
It was strange that he seemed to have perked up just because the woman held his hand, but Eun-hyeon was definitely suppressing the agitation that was blooming in his heart and maintaining his sense of reason to deal with the situation in front of him.
“I don’t admit it.”
Eunhyeon denied the charges.
And it was Eleanor who led the conversation on his behalf.
“Where is the evidence that our client committed assault?”
“All five victims gave the same statement.”
“Doesn’t that mean that if they wanted to, those five people could kiss and turn an innocent person into a criminal?”
“…”
The investigator had nothing to say.
Actually, Eleanor was right.
The complaints filed were based solely on reports from victims.
“In addition to the victims’ statements, there appears to be insufficient evidence to prove that our client committed assault on the victims.”
Eleanor continued to ask.
“Wasn’t the situation at the time recorded on the convenience store’s CCTV?”
“When we checked, it had been deleted.”
Eleanor’s eyebrows twitched.
The expression ‘it was erased’ was so strange.
“… What about the testimony of the employee who was working part-time at the convenience store at the time?”
“He said he wasn’t sure.”
“…”
It’s not just strange, it’s so annoying.
Eunhyeon also noticed something strange.
“Did you really say that I hit you?”
“Yes.”
The investigator answered without a moment’s hesitation.
Afterwards, Eunhyun and Eleanor continued to answer the investigator’s questions.
After a brief question-and-answer session, starting with why the assault was committed, the level of punishment was explained and the message was told to seek leniency through agreement.
After the investigation was over, Eunhyun and Eleanor left the police station.
I felt empty because I had gained nothing, let alone gained something.
“… “Something is strange.”
“Do you think so too?”
Eleanor frowned and agreed with Eunhyun’s muttering, as if she was in a very bad mood.
Even before the investigation began, the investigator had confirmed Eunhyeon’s crime.
Otherwise, such a firm attitude made no sense.
“It feels like you have decided on a picture of a puzzle in advance and are trying to force the pieces that don’t fit together.”
And he didn’t seem to have any intention of hiding it at all.
The investigator was very confident.
Still, it wasn’t a waste of money with nothing to gain.
“That investigator, the police don’t seem to have any intention of taking your side in this case.”
Did you say it was the principle of presumption of innocence?
This is an absurd attitude that seems to have given up on the principle that a criminal defendant is considered innocent until the guilty verdict is confirmed.
It was absurd to even express it with such a confident attitude.
“The content was also strange.”
The crime listed in the filed complaint is assault causing bodily harm.
At that time, Eunhyeon did not swing his fist at them.
It was Erin who had swung the punch, and she said it was not an assault that would have caused so much damage that it would have cost her three weeks to live.
Is it possible to get 3 weeks of anterior teeth with just a few slaps?
It was absolutely impossible.
The malicious intent written in this complaint was arbitrarily exaggerated in size and targeted at Eunhyeon.
Did he simply want to harm himself?
It might be fortunate if that was all, but Eunhyun was worried about something else.
“I don’t want something to happen to Mom…” .”
“To your mother? Why?”
“I didn’t tell you this, but in fact, that child’s father is a famous gangster in this area. “It also belongs to a fairly large organization.”
When they ran into each other at the convenience store, Eunhyun tried to avoid getting involved with them because she was afraid of the gangsters’ retaliation.
As an ordinary person with no power, just getting caught in their net meant that life would become impoverished in an instant.
In fact, it was quite common to hear that several families living here were ruined because of him and his father.
“… Sorry.”
“Yes? What?”
“I should have expected it to turn out this way.”
I was complacent in thinking that I would never have to have anything more to do with them since I was just treated badly by Erin.
He never imagined that they would sue him in this way.
Was it because he was young, or was he complacent because he had never experienced this experience?
Either way, Eunhyun couldn’t shake the feeling that he was too complacent and stupid.
“What did you do wrong? “They are the bad ones.”
Eleanor comforted Eunhyeon with her bitter smile.
She thought to herself as she comforted him.
‘But the situation is not good.’
I had to think about what to do next.
And this flow itself was somehow familiar to Eleanor.
Although the civilization of this Earth is different from the continent of Arkena where he lived, it is a world where the same humans live.
Although the societies and orders created by the same people were different from each other, there were some similarities.
This is precisely the desire that stimulates human emotions.
The same was true for the existence of evil people who were driven by the desire to commit criminal acts that violate the law without hesitation, benefit from them and cause harm to others, and commit crimes without hesitation.
These things are bound to constantly arise and proliferate like pathogens that never disappear in a human society.
And as a nobleman who had the duty to take care of and take responsibility for the people by managing the estate, dealing with these criminal organizations was not an unfamiliar experience for Eleanor.
It was more familiar than unfamiliar.
Eleanor took out her smart phone and made a call.
I tried to ask who Eunhyun was calling, but the call was connected faster than that.
“Hong. I’m sorry for calling you suddenly. “Are you busy right now?”
The person on the phone was Joo Hong.
“When you have time, can you do me a favor? “There is something I want you to know.”
Eleanor immediately explained the current situation to Joo-hong and asked him to gather information about those who accused her Eun-hyeon.
“Huh. Please. I would like you to let me know as soon as possible. Huh. Thank you.”
After conveying the business and ending the call, Eunhyeon asked.
“… “What are you going to do?”
“We must see the end in our own way.”
It would have been a good thing if the police or investigators in charge of the investigation, who complained of injustice and asked for help, were also on the other side.
They tried to resolve the case amicably by complying with the law and order here as much as possible, but if things come out like this on the other side, they have no qualms.
“… “Our way?”
Eunhyeon felt an uneasy feeling for some reason and looked at Eleanor.
She had always felt like a gentle and dignified noblewoman, but from her expression she felt an inexplicable fear.
◆ ◆ ◆
“Huh, I guess the investigation is over by now.”
The man chuckled and muttered.
By now, Eunhyun, who was informed of the complaint, would have been investigated by the police.
“It looks good. Fuck you bastard. “Let’s try some soybean rice.”
His colleagues also giggled and agreed with the man’s words.
The man and the group could not forget the memory of being severely beaten by Erin at a convenience store a few days ago.
Contrary to her smooth appearance, Erin was very aggressive and her hands were hot.
“But are you really sure you can put that bastard in a cell? In fact, it was not that baby, but was next to the baby. “
“Oh, fuck. So what should we do? “Are you going to expose it everywhere that five people, one woman, were unilaterally beaten and ran away?”
“…”
The group all closed their mouths tightly, as if they were putting a zipper on their mouths.
There was nothing more embarrassing than that.
“You damn bitch, just wait and see. “Once we put that bastard in a cell, she’s next.”
The man muttered with eyes filled with anger and a sense of inferiority, anticipating the next development.
After putting Eun-hyeon in a detention center for an assault injury case, the next one was Erin, who hit both of her cheeks in succession.
Of course, I had no intention of treating her gently.
She didn’t sue Erin for punching her directly in the first place because her body was the target.
Erin’s beautiful appearance and voluptuous body were so captivating that they left me spellbound for a moment, and they had the kind of charm that every man would want to embrace at least once.
The man’s father was the leader of an organization that controlled this area.
One of the main businesses was a loan business, and there was money play by deliberately lending money and charging ridiculously high interest rates.
And if they couldn’t repay the money, the man would sell them for ransom to a deep-sea fishing boat, or the woman would be made to work in a prostitution establishment to make a tidy income.
The man’s idea of Erin’s future was also like that.
“Husband? Ha, you little gisaeng brother. “That bastard didn’t like her for a long time.”
The man suddenly remembered an old incident and frowned.
Eunhyun, who was also his classmate, he had never liked since his school days.
Because he looked like a gisaeng brother, he received quite a lot of attention from the female students at school because of his appearance.
However, Eunhyeon herself was not aware of such issues, perhaps because she was only focused on studying due to her difficult family circumstances and did not have time to engage with the opposite sex often.
The man was very unlucky and displeased to see Eunhyeon like that.
So, by asking about the fact that Eun-hyeon had no father, he intentionally ignored and despised him and isolated him at school.
Eun-hyeon, whose family was not well-to-do, who had a relatively weak physique for a man, and whose only defect was that he had no father, was very annoying.
Moreover, this time he experienced unbearable humiliation from a strange woman called his wife.
“Fuck you bitch. “Just wait and see.”
The man planned to bring more humiliation to Erin than what he had experienced.
Should I first take off all his clothes and make him kneel in front of me and apologize?
A smile bloomed on her lips as the humiliated image of Erin appeared in her mind.
“Older brother! “What kind of women came?”
“Girls?”
A gangster, one of the youngest members of the organization, suddenly announced the visit of some women.
“Not all of them are good looking. “I’m looking for my brother?”
“… “What does it look like?”
Her youngest child explained the impressions of the three women one by one.
One of them, a woman with dark blue hair, immediately came to mind when I heard her impression of Erin.
The man smiled and chuckled.
“Tsk tsk, no way…” . “Are you here to ask me to drop the complaint against her husband?”
The unexpected development made the man unable to hide his joy at the thought that his imagination might turn into reality so quickly.
The sight of Erin, with her naked body without even a shred of clothing on her face, kneeling down and pressing her head to the ground, begging her husband to drop the complaint.
The man immediately took his steps to see Erin, holding back her humiliation and embracing Erin’s body as she glared at him, and knowing that he could destroy her.
“Elenoa. “Can I really do this?”
“Huh. Knock them all down. “As long as you don’t kill me, it’s okay.”
“Yes! All right! “I will punish all the bad guys!”
As soon as they arrived at the first floor where the visiting women were, the gang members flew into the sky.
“Ugh!”
