Chapter 74 - I hope you cooperate (2/2)

”Excuse me.” Prosecutor Im Jihoon walks into the room. ”Lawyer Ahn?”

Why is this prosecutor here? Do Sejin frowns deeply. He remembers meeting this man at the hospital the other day. ”Prosecutor Im, why are you here?”

”I am handling this case.” He smiles awkwardly. ”I begged my seniors to give me another chance. I was wrong to prosecute the wrong person last time. I want to give justice to all the victims of the magnolia killer including lawyer Ahn. I hope you cooperate.”

Do Sejin has heard of Prosecutor Im during his college days. He's quite a legend. His other name was Prosecutor Justice. When the 100th-day murder case first sprung to light and the professors were using that opportunity for debate between the wannabe prosecutors and wannabe lawyers, the two sides were mainly divided into one who supported Prosecutor Im and one who supported Lawyer Ahn. The court trial between Ahn Hana and Im Jihoo was highly anticipated, but Ahn Hana disappeared before that.

Hearing and seeing has a difference. Do Sejin didn't think that Im Jihoon's personality is like this. Prosecutor Im is just... Do Sejin has a feeling that Im Jihoon wants to use this case to get his fame back.

”Lawyer Ahn.” Prosecutor Im looks at her with a mild smile on his face. ”Are you okay now?”

She slightly furrows her brows. ”If I am not okay, will you stop doing your job?”

Im Jihoon laughs awkwardly with a low voice. ”Sorry, I have to bother you.”

She shrugs her shoulder. ”Ask what you want to ask.”

”Tell me what happened.” Im Jihoon's aura change instantly. He shifts the glasses on his eyes and looks at her gravely.

”I have already told everything to the detective,” She replies coldly. ”Before I left, I didn't hide anything. After I came back, I told him everything today. So, what else do you want to know?”

”I want to hear from you.” Im Jihoon persists. ”The truth loses its sharpness when it's circulating around. I have taken the statement from your friend, Jung Kwang-soo. I need to hear your version.”

Im Jihoon pauses for a moment and glances at Do Sejin. ”It's better if you leave us alone.”

”Let him stay.” Ahn Hana leans back and closes her eyes to gather her thoughts. ”He has been curious a lot.”

Do Sejin purses his lips. He wonders if he has the strength to hear what happened to her. He has to hear it. He needs to find the killer. For the sake of his daughter and Ahn Hana, he must hear it.
