The head of the legal department came in, and the formal investigation was expected to begin, but due to Na Song-rim’s uncooperative attitude, the investigation was delayed.
In that case, Line had no choice but to change his strategy. There was a hint obtained during the Na Song-un investigation. With an understanding of Na Song-rim’s fatal weakness, Line, with a calm demeanor, prepared to see who would prevail.
It seemed better to dry up the blood than to kill outright.
“Director, do you know what this woman is saying to me?”
Not only the prosecution but also the people on the legal side were taken aback by Na Song-rim’s words. Although the face of the head of the legal department showed displeasure, everyone knew that he was not in a position to warn Na Song-rim.
“Director, just one cigarette for me. I need to smoke at least one cigarette to keep my sanity.”
Line stared intently at Na Song-rim’s actions.
The head of the legal department, glancing at Prosecutor Jin-rae, took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it to Na Song-rim. Na Song-rim gestured for the head of the legal department to light it, and he did so.
As Line raised his hand towards the camera to signal to bring someone in, the door opened with a creak, and Ju-hyuk entered. Ju-hyuk swiftly snatched the cigarette from Na Song-rim’s mouth, threw it on the floor, and stomped on it.
“What are you doing now? Don’t you know this is a no-smoking area?”
Ju-hyuk was angered by Na Song-rim’s unruly behavior. Na Song-rim, with an axe-like glare, stared at Ju-hyuk, then rose from his seat, raising his hand as if to strike him.
But Ju-hyuk was not intimidated by such actions. With a determined air, he approached Na Song-rim, placing both hands on his hips. Prosecution office employees rushed inside to prepare for any situation.
“Put the handcuffs behind.”
Unprepared, Line requested that Na Song-rim’s handcuffs be placed behind him.
“Ah…! Really, ugh! So frustrating! These worthless guys! Director, do something about these guys. Let go of this. I told you to let go of this!”
In the end, Na Song-rim underwent the uncomfortable interrogation with his hands cuffed behind him. Line was determined not to let Na Song-rim go until he surrendered.
“I don’t know, I’ve said it a thousand times.”
Na Song-rim spoke as if he couldn’t be bothered to answer.
“Right now, Na Song-rim, your problem is not the false admission. How much embezzlement are you involved in?”
“Embezzlement? Whose company is that?”
Line waited for a slip of the tongue from Na Song-rim’s mouth.
“Oh, Director! Please calm down. There is a way to invoke the right to remain silent. You don’t have to respond to everything.”
The head of the legal department pacified Na Song-rim, preventing him from making further statements.
Keeping quiet was the best defense for Na Song-rim, but due to the continuous statements, the head of the legal department, sweating profusely, stepped forward for the defense.
“Prosecutor Jin-rae, isn’t this investigation too explicit? There is a fundamental principle of the presumption of innocence! Are you going to proceed like this?”
Na Song-rim is still Na Song-rim, but the head of the legal department’s attitude, speaking as if teaching with a burst of anger, hasn’t gone anywhere. Line laughed sarcastically and criticized him even more explicitly.
“You mentioned that you were a prosecutor, right? A person who went through the ranks to become a senior prosecutor is making such naive remarks? At least I don’t conduct investigations to catch people I dislike.”
“What, what, what?”
The head of the legal department, too flustered to speak properly, stumbled over his words.
Now, visibly exhausted, Na Song-rim sat down even more sullenly.
“I understand, but I have no power in Taesung. It’s all held by my brother.”
Na Song-rim stubbornly clung to his argument.
“Even if Na Song-gang is the real power, isn’t the actual authority held by Chairman Na?”
“Prosecutor Jin, if you’re trying to find a pretext to summon our chairman for an investigation in this way, please give up!”
The head of the legal department accurately understood Line’s intention and intervened.
“Oh, by the way, since you’re here today, why don’t you schedule a summons for Chairman Na?”
“Chairman Na? Is our chairman going to become Prosecutor Jin-rae’s friend?”
“Who, as a friend, would summon someone? It’s better to schedule a summons and bring him in politely. Don’t forget that the wise judgment of the defense attorney can either protect Chairman Na’s face or tarnish it a bit. I will ask a few more questions.”
There was a reason why Line was bypassing everything and dragging out the time. Na Song-rim’s uncooperative behavior turned out to be helpful.
Line was waiting for Na Song-rim to become more sensitive due to withdrawal symptoms. As she suspected, Na Song-rim seemed to be more dependent on hallucinations than Na Song-woon, who relied on sleep-inducing drugs.
Male lead reborn without memories — but he still falls for her.
The person he finds displeasing in this life turns out to be his cherished wife-master in previous life…
Xie Zhi and Fang Xianxing who had known each other for less than three days through a blind date sat in the same car in front of the civil affairs bureau. They had a disagreement and failed to get married.
Xie Zhi immediately took out his phone, slid through his contacts, and randomly selected the next marriage candidate.
The woman snatched his phone and hung up. Looking at his phone wallpaper, she awkwardly changed the subject: “An ancient painting, eh? It looks pretty good, it’s just that the person in the painting looks a bit like me.”
When he heard this, he sarcastically mocked her for being so delusional, completely unaware that, the person in front of him was the reincarnation of Wen Ru, the famous prime minister of Yuan Shun whom he most admired…
