I started out as a criminal, and the police relied on me to solve countless cases.

Chapter 139 Trial
This is definitely the most watched trial in the history of Han Country.

After 30 years, the Hancheng serial murder case in Gyeonggi Province was finally solved.

The Seoul Prosecutors' Office filed charges against the three murderers, Baek Gwang-deok, Cho Byung-soon, and Park Heung-gyu.

The Seoul court opened a hearing on the case today.

As this case has attracted national attention, the Seoul Court responded to public demands, opened media channels, and broadcast the trial live across the country.

There were a large number of people participating in this trial, and the seats in the gallery were reserved early, so many prominent figures failed to get a seat.

Jiang Hanwen looked at the crowded gallery and couldn't help but think of the trial scene of the Xiangjiang case.

He was more accustomed to standing in the corner. It felt strange to be scrutinized and looked at by so many eyes like this.

Why was he, a filmmaker, pushed to the witness stand?

I have to ask why the court used the movie Memories of Murder as physical evidence.

This is a work of art. Is it appropriate to use it as physical evidence?

Do you think the criminal will admit it? Do you think the defense lawyer will admit it?
"Your Honor, as a defense lawyer, I should defend my client, but the evidence in this case is irrefutable, the nature of the case is extremely bad, and public opinion is overwhelming. I am sorry that I am unable to provide a defense for my client."

Standing in the defendant's counsel's seat was a well-mannered young lawyer with a childish look on his face, which at this moment looked tragic.

He was explaining the pros and cons to the presiding judge.
The judge couldn't hold back his excitement after hearing this, and the people in the gallery below burst into warm applause.

All major media platforms in Han Country have also been flooded with messages about the incident.

Has anyone ever seen a defense lawyer self-destruct?

It's obvious that this guy is an unlucky guy. He was designated as a supporting lawyer.

It is different from other cases where some black-hearted lawyers who want to become famous defend the murderer and gain fame.

In the entire Han country, there is no lawyer who dares to defend the innocence of the three evil beasts in the dock. It is tantamount to self-destruction and the death of sociology.

He will definitely become famous, but he won't have to make a living as a lawyer anymore.

Are you kidding? Thanks to Lao He's operation, everyone in Han has seen the photos of Park Heung-kyu, Cho Byung-soon and Baek Kwang-deok. Han people may not know what the president looks like, but they definitely know what the three murderers of the Hancheng case look like, and they are well aware of their brutal atrocities.

"Shit, you want to defend? You want to defend your entire eight generations of ancestors. If I wasn't the defense lawyer, I would have wanted to go up and beat these three bastards."

Jiang Hanwen was stunned for a moment, then looked at the three defendants behind the young lawyer.

I felt relieved again.

He really had no idea how Lao Pu's men trained these three guys.

From the beginning of the trial to now, the three people have had expressionless faces, dull eyes, and have been running noses.

Needless to say, the old homeless man Bai Guangde was already in a dazed state.

Zhao Bingshun, who originally weighed over 100 pounds, was as thin as a clothes hanger and would almost fall to the ground with a breath. Park Xingkui, who was originally extremely arrogant, was even more exaggerated. The rebelliousness in his eyes was gone, and his strong body could not stand up at all. He stood in the dock with his back hunched, like a puppet with a soul lost.

The judge played a clip from the movie Memories of Murder, and the three men didn't even look up from beginning to end.

Jiang Hanwen glanced at Lao Pu, who was sitting in the first seat in the audience.

This guy was dressed up today. His suit looked just like a groom attending a wedding, and he even had a small white flower pinned on his chest.

Seeing Jiang Hanwen looking at him with a question mark on his face, Lao Pu winked, revealing his big white teeth, patted his pockets, and stretched out his hand to make an OK gesture.

Wink!

Jiang Hanwen: “-_-||”

I hope that Lao Liu will not really use the five tortures of gold, wood, water, fire and earth that he mentioned to screen Park Heung-gyu and the other two.

Jiang Hanwen had every reason to believe that the three people in the dock were now just shells of their bodies.

The criminal was able to be beaten into this state without any obvious injuries.

Haha, you really have some skills.

It's lucky that these three guys are still standing now. It's impossible to expect them to protest their injustice.

Lao Pu is indeed a man of integrity and he always does what he says.

The defense lawyer gave up his defense.

The prosecutor's lawyer glanced at Lao Pu in the gallery, shrank back, and turned to look at the judge.

Only then did Jiang Hanwen understand what Lao Pu wanted to do.

He asked for the letter back, and he mentioned this more than once.

Lao Pu dreamed of reading out this suicide note written by the late chief of the Hancheng Police Station, who was also Lao Pu's master, in court in front of everyone.

Not only for himself, but also to clear the name of the old chief who wrote this letter, that the Hancheng Police Department was not a waste of people who were just sitting there doing nothing.

"Your Honor, I would like to request to read out a suicide note from a police officer who participated in the investigation of the Hancheng case. Please allow me to do so." Lao Pu shouted.

All eyes in the court were focused on him.

All the media cameras were pointed at him.

What exactly does this Samsung Group big shot want to say?

"The court grants your request."

The judge is not a fool. This man has a special relationship with Director He, so there is no need to offend him.

"Thank you!"

Lao Pu put away the frivolous look on his face.

He straightened his back and looked more serious than ever before.

He turned to the gallery, looked at the camera, and pulled out a yellowed, wrinkled piece of paper from his pocket.

Slowly unfold:

"We will definitely meet, right?"

"A Letter to a Murderer" - The police officer in charge of the Hancheng serial murder case.

Coward, that's what I call you.

I don’t know if you like it or not, but you who are wielding knives against the weak are all targeting women, so this name seems to be appropriate.

In order not to forget your existence, I gave you this name 8 years ago.

Although I don't know whether you are one person or two people, or more people, anyway, I have spent a lot of effort to meet you, or to meet all of you. You may object to this.

Coward, at the end of last year, a female college student in Hancheng disappeared and was killed on her way home. It has not been solved yet, so I am here to guide the search.

However, this is truly an evil fate that cannot be escaped. The place where the female student disappeared and was killed in this incident is the city where you or your group once cruelly trampled on people's precious lives.

The statute of limitations for the ninth case will expire next month, and the final tenth case will expire in April next year. I will also retire in June next year.

This (the 21st) is the last time I celebrate Police Day while on duty. The statute of limitations has expired and the case officer is retiring...

Perhaps this will once again make this case a hotly debated topic in the world.

I was in a miserable situation too. I was thinking about putting handcuffs on your hands, but I am about to lose this power.

As a criminal policeman, I always feel that I am a beneficiary.

From the time I became a police officer in 1961 until I was assigned to the Special Forces Division, I sent thousands of people to jail, including those 292 murderers.

Because the above-mentioned achievements were recognized, I served as the director for a year starting from July 1981, and my resume has always been excellent.

But what can I do? We haven't arrested you yet.

Since the first and second incidents occurred, that is, starting in December 86, I have been working for exactly 12 years.

In order to investigate the case, I didn't go home for several months. I took my apprentice Park Yijun and Officer Ha from the General Administration and ran around frantically with the idea of ​​catching you at all costs. Even if we forget the birthdays of our wives and children, we can remember all the time and methods of your crimes.

I even had a subordinate named Lao Cao who collapsed from overwork and is still paralyzed on one side of his body. Another subordinate of mine was fired for interrogating a suspect violently, causing his death.

During this period, you committed crimes calmly again and again, as if you were mocking us. Why?

You must be middle-aged now, with an extremely introverted and socially awkward personality. Are you married? Do you have children?

The Hancheng case was made into a TV series and several movies.

As a policeman who couldn't even catch the criminals, I couldn't walk into the crowded movie theater and could only watch it secretly in the drive-in theater by myself.

There are even 70-year-old ladies among the victims. Have you ever thought about your own mother? There are also newly married women, young 20-year-old girls, young female junior high school and high school students. They must have begged you before.

I went to the place where you committed the crime, and when I saw the body, I was furious. I swore that when I caught you, I would not give you the chance to stand in court and be tried. I would kill you myself.

But what can I do? I have never been able to arrest you, and I am also a sinner to my juniors and the victims' families.

Every day I dream about naked, tied-up female victims being subjected to perverted violence. I also dream that there is no statute of limitations for demons like you, and that even if I resign, my successors will catch you.

If you have cancer, it is natural to get thorough treatment. But don't you think it's strange that there is a statute of limitations to eliminate social cancer like you from the world?

Coward, you know what, I still live in Hancheng, and I plan to hunt you down until the day I leave office.

If the statute of limitations is abolished one day, even if I am no longer around, my descendants will definitely arrest you. We are always making progress.

Please don't die before me. We must meet, right, coward?

Finished.

Lao Pu is already in tears
