Chapter 70 – (Side Story) Examination of Male Supremacy and Female Ratio 1

“Phew~~~~~”

Seoul Southern District Prosecutor’s Office

Prosecutor Jang sighs as he sits at his desk in his prosecutor’s office, piled with investigation-related documents.

‘How did this happen…’

Prosecutor Jang Seo-hee, taking a sip of coffee, is the only female prosecutor in the Southern District Prosecutors’ Office.

It is really rare for a woman to become a prosecutor in Korea.

First, this is largely influenced by the social atmosphere in which women’s admission to university is accepted as a special event.

Law schools do not accept new female students

Even if you study hard and pass the bar exam

Naturally, all the faculty at the Judicial Research and Training Institute are men, and they are more diligent than anyone else in upholding the agreed upon social rule of women under men.

Even if a prosecutor is appointed, the tone of the newspaper articles continues to be critical, such as whether it is desirable to appoint a woman, who is inferior to a man, as a prosecutor.

In the social atmosphere, there is a line of public opinion questioning whether a woman is going to get married or become a prosecutor.

Therefore, even if a woman passes the bar exam, she is fortunate to just be a lawyer and successfully practice law.

Nevertheless, Jang Seo-hee was successful in being appointed as a prosecutor because, first, she had good grades at the training center and because cases of human rights violations against female criminals or female victims were widely reported in newspaper articles, the need to appoint a female prosecutor increased as a kind of windbreaker. Br〉

By assigning female prosecutors to women-related matters, they are trying to use them as scapegoats when something happens.

That’s why Prosecutor Seohee Jang was assigned to the women and youth department at the Seoul Southern District Prosecutors’ Office.

In this atmosphere, no prosecutor considered the female prosecutor as a colleague.

Male investigators are hard at work sitting at desks to the left and right around their own desks.

I sigh quietly at the risk of being caught by them.

Take a look at the terrible text messages.

[How have you been? Prosecutor? You probably haven’t forgotten what I said last time, right? Today is Friday. Come to MG Club by 7pm. You know if you don’t come, right?]

What should I do with this? Should we release all the investigators and destroy them…

It would be nice if that happens, but what happens after that?

It is certain that the video of Jang Seo-hee being raped will spread across all kinds of sites.

In Korea, where there is no problem with sex videos filmed without a woman’s consent, a female prosecutor was rendered helpless by just one video.

‘Should I tell the manager, investigate, and have everyone arrested?’

That also seemed possible. It is a clear crime that violates the current law, and the victim is none other than Prosecutor Jang Seo-hee.

Moreover, as a female prosecutor, she is a member of the same prosecution family, even though she is a bullet point within the Amman prosecution. My subordinates say it’s difficult, so I guess that’s what they’ll do. Of course, the manager can take advantage of that weakness, but that’s for later.

Anyway, what next?

These investigators in front of me right now will go home after work and beat her daughter while watching the rape video of me.

Or, while I’m away, they watch my videos and giggle among themselves, and when they see me, they act like it’s not a joke and act the other way

Inwardly, they will despise and ridicule her as ‘a stupid prosecutor who gets raped’.

Or, while having fun with your girlfriend at a motel, she might play a video of me and make fun of you, saying that she should be a prosecutor in our laboratory.

‘Why should I have gone there alone in the first place… Or at least called career support…’

Jang Seo-hee, a rookie prosecutor with little investigative experience and only a strong motivation, recalled the criminal intelligence she had captured a few weeks ago.

Sexual exploitation in violation of labor standards is frequent in brothels near Seoul. Because of that, prostitutes, or prostitutes, filed complaints and filed complaints at the local police station, but no action was taken. Rather, a letter came directly to Prosecutor Jang Seo-hee’s office, saying that she had been assaulted and raped by local gang members who found out that she had reported it to the police.

This thing… If I do it well, I can succeed.

A normal prosecutor’s office would just pass over a letter like this from a prostitute, but who is Prosecutor Seohee Jang? Wasn’t she a prosecutor specially appointed to protect women’s human rights?

‘First, check the facts…’

Although it was only a form of cooperation, Prosecutor Jang sent investigators to search the police station and confirmed the contents of civil complaints and accusations filed in the names of multiple women.

“Oh, about that? We checked without any need for an investigation, and there was no violation of the law, so the case was closed. If you look at the documents here, the business owners and prostitutes have been verified and signed.”

“There was a minor violation of the Labor Standards Act, so we were informed and terminated.”

I couldn’t immediately believe what the detectives in charge of the case said. Because collusion with local gangsters was highly suspicious.

I reported the related matter to the manager and requested assistance with the case, but he still refused.

“Hey, Prosecutor Jang. Are you going to keep wasting precious time on useless things? Do you know how many cases you are in charge of? Handle those first. Then, if you ask for anything, I will listen.”

By that time, all evidence and testimony will have surely disappeared.

In order to identify and punish the suspect, evidence of assault and rape and the victim’s testimony were needed.

Prosecutor Jang Seo-hee, who could not stay on the receiving end of bullets forever, decided to take action.

It was decided to visit the victim directly and confirm the facts of the damage.

‘Let’s see… Gyeonggi-do… It’s a suburb of Seoul…’

Investigators cannot be mobilized to investigate cases prohibited by the director. The same was true for career mobilization. What will she do if she hastily mobilizes authorities and the criminal charges are not confirmed?

It would be fortunate if Prosecutor Jang, who already has a small position within the prosecution, is not demoted or degraded.

Still, it would have been possible to mobilize one or two police officers from the police station for the purpose of protecting the prosecutor… It was decided to handle it quietly for now, and there seemed to be no risk of just interviewing the victim.

Unlike public warehouses run by local governments, there were many different types of private warehouses run by the private sector. Among them, the brothel related to this incident was a shabby neighborhood that had been established for a long time in a rural area near Seoul, and was at the lowest level among brothels.

As such, the customers were rough, and the prostitutes were very old-timers.

Prosecutor Jang Seo-hee, who is in her 20s and has a decent appearance, enters the neighborhood alone.

Prosecutor Jang Seo-hee, 165 cm tall, 65 B cup breasts, slender body with a narrow waist, double eyelids, but slightly small eyes and a cold look.

I drive around the prostitute village.

It was Friday afternoon, so the sun had not set, and the brothel was quiet.

Prosecutor Jang, who secured the victim’s address in advance from the police station’s civil complaint documents, drove to that address without hesitation.

As expected, the address I went to was a shabby building with a show window.

The brothels here were remodeled from old one-story buildings with show windows facing the street, with three or four girls working in each building.

Prosecutor Jang parked his car in front of the victim’s building and got out of the car and confidently entered the shop window of the brothel.

“Hey… Is there anyone?”

“Yes… Who?”

A woman in her 50s comes out dressed in her slippers, with slippers in tow.

The lady who looked Jang Seo-hee up and down

“How did you get here?”

She shoots back bluntly.

“Hey… Is this Mr. Joo Min-jeong?”

“Hey, everyone here only uses stage names. Where is the crazy bitch who says her real name in a place like this?”

“Then, what about this lady?”

A pre-prepared photo of the victim is brought in.

“Ah~~~~ Lady Lee, it’s Sookhee… Sookhee… Hey!! It’s Sookhee!!! A guest has arrived~~~~”

“Go inside there. That’s Sook-hee-nyeon’s room.”

“Yes… Thank you…”

As instructed, I pass through the narrow hallway and peek into the room with the door open.

A woman who appears to be in her late 30s, wearing her slip and putting on makeup, turns around.

“Um… Ju Min-jeong…?”

A startled woman.

“… Yes… Yes… I am the main… Minjeong…”

“Ah, my name is Prosecutor Jang Seo-hee of the Seoul Southern District Prosecutors’ Office. Nice to meet you.”

A lady who offers a seat to prosecutor Jang Seo-hee, who strides into the lady’s room where men are received.

“No, it’s okay. It’ll be over soon.”

Prosecutor Jang Seo-hee just stands there as if the bed receiving the men is dirty.

“I will record it.”

Turn on the recording app on your phone.

“She reported to the police station that she was assaulted and raped… Is that correct?”

“… Yes, yes… I… With the other sisters…”

“When was the date of the damage?”

“No… I… Prosecutor… That… Cancel the charge…”

“Oh, I know. You withdrew the complaint. But you were assaulted, right?”

“Over there…”

“Hey, Joo Min-jeong. How long are you going to live like a fool? Let’s take this opportunity to make sure the perpetrators are punished.”

This woman must testify before anything can be said.

“Um… Prosecutor… I… Will… Contact you later…”

“Ha… I’m so frustrated it’s driving me crazy… Hey, do you think I came all this way because I was free? It’s really annoying…”

To Sook Hee-nyeon, who just bowed her head and said nothing

“Okay, okay. I’ll leave my business card here, so call me when you feel like testifying.”

Jang Seo-hee, annoyed by the victim’s passive attitude toward testimony, leaves without saying goodbye.

Let’s see… The person who reported this person together…

“Uh. Have you seen all the work?”

The lady who greets me in a slip at the entrance of the store doesn’t even notice me and gets into her car.

“No… Why are there all these rude bitches? On the topic of bitches… What is a prosecutor…”

The woman who overheard the conversation in Sook-hee’s room curses at the back of the car as it leaves.

The other victim was in another store in the same brothel.

Drurly~~

Open the glass door of the show window where the ladies are waiting and go inside.

“Hey~~~ Is there anyone~~~?”

In the voice of a young woman

“Who are you~~ Are you here to work?”

A woman in her 50s, wearing baggy pants, appears to be eating, and comes out dragging her slippers with her mouth full of food.

“Yes… Okay… What’s going on?”

To the question of the lady who looked Jang Seo-hee up and down

“Here… Is this Ms. Jeong Min-hee? No, is there this woman?”

Show pictures prepared in advance.

“Ah~~~ Jihee… Was that girl’s name Jeong Minhee?”

“Where is it?”

“It’s the back room over there… Jihee~~~ Guest~~”

“Guest? No… I haven’t even done my makeup yet, so what kind of guest are you~~~”

“That’s not it… Someone came looking for you, bitch~”

“Go over there.”

Let’s go to Ji Hui-nyeon’s room inside the establishment.

Knock…

“Yes… Please come in~~”

When I open the door, the smell of cheap perfume wafts out

“Um… Jeong Min-hee?”

When Jeong Min-hee heard her real name, she opened her eyes blankly

“Yes… I’m… Jeong Min-hee…”

“Did you report the assault? When did you suffer?”

“But… Who are you wearing?”

“Ah, this is Prosecutor Jang Seo-hee of the Seoul Southern District Prosecutors’ Office.”

“Oh my god, a woman is a prosecutor!!!”

“Yes, you are a prosecutor. So, can you tell me what you were harmed?”

“That… We reached an agreement with the perpetrator and dropped the charges… I don’t want to dig into it any further…”

“I heard you were even raped…”

“Look here, prosecutor… If I told you that a prostitute was raped, would you believe it?”

“Ha… I’m so…”

“Hey… I have to prepare for business… Could you please leave?”

“Minhee Jeong, it’s true that you were assaulted and raped. Why can’t you speak up? Are you afraid of retaliation? We, the prosecutors of the Republic of Korea, will protect you?”

Jung Min-hee looked at Jang Seo-hee for a moment

“… No… The prosecutor really… “

“What am I… What am I? Tell me, frustratingly, like a dumb person who got beaten up!!”

Jang Seo-hee has no respect for women who are more than 10 years older than her.

Jang Seo-hee is frustrated with Jeong Min-hee who tries to say something but stops.

“Ah, it’s okay, it’s okay. It’s the same for Joo Min-jeong and you too. You’re going to get beaten like that for the rest of your life, and live with it.”

“… Minjeong… What does she say?”

“Oh, I don’t know. I’ll leave my business card here, so if you change your mind later, please contact me.”

Jang Seo-hee, who failed to secure testimony again, was about to return to her car

Pow~~!

Someone suddenly appeared in the dark hallway of the brothel and stuck a fist into Jang Seo-hee’s abdomen.

“Ugh~~~!!!”

“Who… Who…”

Jang Seo-hee, who collapsed and could not breathe properly, tied her hands behind her back, gagged her, and even put a blindfold on her.

A gunman carrying the helpless Jang Seo-hee and going somewhere. No, they are monsters. There are at least two of these guys.

Jang Seo-hee is placed in the back seat of her car and taken somewhere.
