Chapter : 8 : Personal Lawyer!!

Next day Marie and Seokjin came to the company. They were moving towards the elevator but Marie stopped when she heard the similar name from news channel that was going on the big TV screen . All employees who works on the first floor was curiously watching the news . Marie made her way towards the tv to listen clearly , all the employees moved aside to give her space. Seokjin followed her .

"Hang Songh-yu, who was also a personal lawyer of Song Minsuk, found dead at backside of a bar.  People had assumed that he was drunk last night and got involved in a fight with some men.  As you all can see , he was beaten brutally, his face was covered with blood and had big scratches on his hands and feets. Police is investigating right now and soon they will find the men . " the reporter said , a girl screamed when a horrific image of Songh-yu all beaten up popped up in the screen. Marie was examining the picture carefully , she took out her phone and clicked a photo , before they remove it from the screen. 

"Everybody to work. " Seokjin's voice echoed and everybody slowly started disappearing. He got closer to her and placed a hand on her shoulder . She cleared her throat and again started moving towards the elevator.

They reached her office in complete silence. 

"Hang Songh-yu?? He was a personal lawyer??" She asked Seokjin. 

"I didn't knew. "

"Inform all the lawyers of this company , personal or business, I don't care , I want them all in the meeting room in ten mins . " she growled , he nodded his head and left from there.  She sat on her chair and took a deep sigh. "Who did this ? I can't believe it's my second day at this office and this much already happened. But I can guarantee that he wasn't involved in any fight. "

"Everything is ready Marie. " Seokjin said , they went to the meeting room . Everybody was already shivering looking at her figure coming inside the room .

"A very bad morning to everyone. " she said taking her seat. Everyone stood up and bowed to her.  "Who was Hang Songh-yu to Song Minsuk??" Was the first question that came out of her mouth.

"He was Mr Song's personal lawyer. " one of the lawyer said.

"Do you all know him personally?"

"Yes ma'am."

"Did he contacted anyone here before his death?"

"No ma'am . We all are not in contact with him for like a week now. For some reason he was not picking any of our calls. "

"Okay , we have to go to the police office for our statement, you have to tell everything honestly . If our company get in any kind of trouble , although there's no chance of something like that because the news already told everyone what kind of accident is that , but trust me , the sweeter I am the bitter I can be . Understood." Everyone nodded , she stood up. "I want all the information about them , make file of lawyer info. , let's see who did the best work here . " she told Seokjin before leaving the room .

                            _⁠_⁠_⁠_⁠_⁠_⁠_⁠_⁠_

"Ms Marie we need to keep one of your lawyer in custody because we found some messages which were sent to Mr Hang before he died. "One of the policeman said.

"Excuse me sir , I thought Mr Hang didn't contacted anyone for the past week.  "

"Here is the proof ma'am if you don't believe us ."he said before handing her some paper in which Hang Songh-yu's messages history was printed.  She read each and every line carefully , she glared at the lawyer before speaking.

"This is unbelievable what if this messages are fake or someone else did this ?" The officer chuckled.

"You think this is some kind of joke ??"

"Did you checked the footage of that bar ?"

"Not yet ."

"Then how can you take my lawyer in custody without having a powerful proof , you say these messages a proof , they just wanted to hangout in a bar what if they didn't went there ?? What if he was alone ? What if he wasn't in that bar ?" She yelled slamming her hands on the table .

"What do you mean ?"

"What I mean is that you all are a piece of shit. "

"Ms Marie shut-"

"No you shut up , if you wanna take him under custody just do I can prove you all wrong with a better proof . " she yelled at his face . " And before that I wanna talk to him. " She said and motioned the lawyer to follow her. 

"Ma'am I swear on my life these messages aren't mine . " he said begging her .

"Listen if I found that these messages are true and yours , then you will be in a coffin instead of a jail understand!" She said gritting her teeth and having a hold of his collar. 

"I-i understood."

"Good now give me your phone . " He searched for his phone as soon as she released her grip , with that she stormed out of the building. Seokjin trailed behind her , he never saw her like this and to be honest he was scared. She went towards her car and sat on the driver's seat , taking a deep breath she relaxed her mind.

"Where are we going now ?"

"To the bar. " her tone was soft again as if she wasn't yelling with the darkest voice at the police officer just two minutes ago.

Their car came to a stop.  They went inside the bar . Nobody was there just some workers because the bar was closed.

"I wanna meet the manager ." She said to the bartender. He lead them to a room and left from there . She knocked on the door and very deep voice came in contact with her ears , allowing them to come inside.  She took a seat infront of a not so drunk man. "My name is Marie , from Showcase company ." Marie said passing her business card to him .

"What's the deal ??" the man asked sipping his wine . Marie found it wierd because how can a person drink in the afternoon.

"I wanna see the footage of this area . "

"Why ??" She put her phone infront of him , he was looking at the picture .

"News say that this man was found dead at the back of this bar . "

"I know alot of police men and reporters were here for this . But neither you are from police nor from a news industry. "

"This man was my company's personal lawyer , police has taken one of my other lawyer in custody, I need the footage to clear everything. "

"Hmm okay ." She looked at Seokjin with a smirk who was shocked that this man agreed to show them the footage . They went towards the control room of the bar , another man started the footage . After the footage ended she placed a pendrive infront of him .

"I want this footage . "

"Sorry but we can't give it you . " he slid the pendrive back to her , she nodded. They left from there and again sat inside their car .

"What we gonna do they didn't gave us the footage ? "

"Don't worry Seokjin-ah." She took her phone and dialled a number, after few rings the other line picked up .

(On the call)

"Hello Namjoon-ah ."

"Marie !! How are you ??" Namjoon said excited to hear her voice .

"Namjoon-ah can you track and find out the details of an international number ?"

"Ofcourse I can ."

"Okay I am sending you a screenshot of some messages and a number , you need to track the number and tell me where the number was active when the messages were sent ."

"What's the problem??"

"Don't worry it's alright I will tell you about it later . How much time do you need to do this ?"

"If you send it to me right now it will take something like half an hour ."

"Okay ." A satisfied smile appeared on her face . Seokjin was just sitting there dumbfounded. She hung up her phone and took out that lawyer's phone to send namjoon the screenshots and details .

"Can I know who is this Namjoon?" Seokjin asked .

"He is Korean but he works with me in the mafia world as the best hacker."

"I see. Well what you gonna do now ?"

"Let's move towards that lawyer's house . "

"He is in custody. Why his house ?"

"You ask alot ." She started driving towards his house.
