"Time to let loose that file you told me about."

"What material?"

"You know the one."

"What? Put it like that and not even a ghost would know. (TL Note: The Korean "not even a ghost would know" means something no one could possibly guess.)"

"The dirt on Jangju's assemblyman."

"Whoa! You still remember that?"

Attorney Jo had been deputy chief prosecutor at the district prosecutors' office that covered Jangju.

He looked flustered at what I'd said.

He'd told me about it once.
