Line looked around, as if Song Kang was hesitating. Na Song-rim, as if he had just woken up, glanced up and down at her. Line wanted to push that guy’s face away, but restrained herself, recalling Song Kang’s advice not to provoke him unnecessarily.
“Today’s inquiry ends here. Talk about it in court if necessary. You may leave.”
As she turned to leave, Na Song-rim, with an angry expression, tried to push her again. Before Line could retaliate, the head of the legal department did his utmost to stop him.
“If I had killed her back then!”
A moment of silence fell at his words. Line stopped walking and glanced at Na Song-rim.
“When, back then?”
As Line approached Na Song-rim, Joo Hyuk blocked her way.
“Jin Prosecutor, talk about it here. Don’t get too close.”
Line stared at Na Song-rim. His eyes, reminiscent of a beast, gave off an intense look. Line thought that by provoking him a little more, she might catch a big fish.
However, if she did that and got injured, Song Kang might not stay quiet and might throw her away as bait without any formalities, as she would be caught as a criminal in the act.
“That’s right, I should have died to be a perfect murderer… It’s a bit disappointing that I’m still alive and it ends as an attempted murder.”
“Is that so!”
As she smoothly left the place, Na Song-rim, seemingly not relieved, violently slammed the desk.
“Hey! Where are you going? I haven’t finished talking yet!”
Ignoring the commotion he caused, Joo Hyuk followed Line.
“Sigh… I should have just gone in. He’s a real piece of work. I thought he might be better than gangsters since he grew up nicely, but he’s a real punk, a punk for sure.”
Joo Hyuk was relieved that Line’s hands were unharmed by that guy.
“It’s so nice to endure it like this today. I was worried about when you might rush again, so how relieved I am now.”
“Too bad. If you had hit me once, there would have been one more charge.”
“What?”
Joo Hyuk shook his head.
“Senior, we have another summons for Na Song-woon later.”
“Right. We’re having a hard time, but now the head of the legal department looks pitiful. Why is the son of Taesung-ga farming like that?”
“If I go in, where should I sit and play? I should be in front.”
The two prosecutors didn’t have much time to sit in the office. They used their breaks to organize evidence and headed straight to the recording room for statements.
Even after 30 minutes of Joo Hyuk sitting there, Na Song-woon didn’t show up. The head of the legal department, who was keeping his seat, yawned as if he had no conscience.
“Defense attorney, is the defendant coming? Try contacting them.”
“Director Na Song-woon doesn’t like to be contacted for such things.”
Joo Hyuk was amazed at their way of life, lacking common sense and basics. He asked the prosecution office employee to contact Na Song-woon.
“Prosecutor… I’m sorry, but he’s not answering the phone.”
The prosecution office employee also looked helpless. At that moment, Na Song-woon, under Line’s gaze, calmly entered with an iced vanilla latte in hand.
And when he sat down, he crossed his legs. She didn’t look like someone fitting the heavy title of director. However, for some reason, Na Song-woon couldn’t take his eyes off Joo Hyuk.
“Oh, why is the prosecutor so handsome?”
Usually a muttered comment, Joo Hyuk found it absurd.
The employees in the monitor room burst into laughter, and Line just enjoyed watching this strange situation.
“Director, please save your words as much as possible…”
Although they had exchanged words before entering the investigation, neither Na Song-rim nor Na Song-woon seemed interested in how important their statements were in this summons investigation.
“Na Song-woon, it’s you, right?”
“Yes, I’m Na Song-woon. What’s the prosecutor’s name?”
Joo Hyuk wanted to hide his prosecutor’s badge that was hanging around his neck.
“Defendant, please take the investigation seriously.”
“Am I not being very serious right now?”
The embarrassment fell on the head of the legal department.
Joo Hyuk, with a stern expression, continued the investigation. He handed a picture to Na Song-woon. She made an expression as if she were seeing the picture for the first time.
“The colors are so vibrant. Not my style?”
“This artwork is the one Director Na Song-woon won the grand prize for at the National Art Competition when she was nineteen.”
Na Song-woon was surprised and couldn’t continue her words.
“It’s possible that you don’t remember.”
The head of the legal department quickly intervened to salvage the situation, but Joo Hyuk had already put an end to the reasonable suspicion with Na Song-woon’s statement a while ago.
Joo Hyuk handed the picture again.
“This is my artwork. I made a mistake earlier.”
Without properly looking at the picture, Na Song-woon asserted that it was her picture.
“It’s a piece from 1910. It was a very valuable piece that was in the Taesung Art Museum until five years ago.”
Na Song-woon seemed so distant from art that it made one wonder if further investigation was needed.
“If it’s five years ago, it’s before Director Na Song-woon gained recognition as the co-director of the Taesung Art Museum.”
“Oh, is that so.”
Joo Hyuk handed another picture.
“This painting, which was owned by the professor who taught Director Na Song-woon, came up for auction.”
Na Song-woon couldn’t hide her bewildered expression and looked at the head of the legal department.
“Instead of the defense attorney, let the defendant answer directly.”
“Oh… that… I don’t know about that.”
Joo Hyuk handed another picture leisurely.
“Oh… Prosecutor, take a short break.”
The head of the legal department’s hope that it might go easier with Prosecutor Joo Hyuk instead of Prosecutor Jin-rain was completely wrong. Joo Hyuk, although softer than Prosecutor Jin-rain, was not someone who would handle an investigation carelessly.
When the investigation resumed, and Joo Hyuk was about to speak, the head of the legal department suggested rescheduling.
“Our Director Na Song-woon is a bit weak.”
Joo Hyuk looked at Na Song-woon. Although she didn’t seem to be in pain at all, they might just have to let her go. Rescheduling the summons investigation was a bit uncomfortable because it was evident they would come back with rehearsed answers.
The first summons investigation came to an end. The head of the legal department wished that Director Na Song-woon could avoid the next summons investigation, but that naive girl insisted on attending again.
The head of the legal department wanted to see Prosecutor Choi Joo-hyuk again. So, after dressing up and not being late, he arrived at the prosecutor’s office.
However, contrary to Na Song-woon’s excitement, it was not Prosecutor Choi Joo-hyuk but Prosecutor Jin-rain who came in.
