Chapter 19: The Hearing
The gallery made a low, angry sound.
The Director tapped his microphone until it stopped.
"The motion is in order," he said. "The council will vote on it now, before any evidence is heard."
The lawyer in the gray cardigan raised her hand.
"If Mr. Jeon is lying, he's a liar, and counsel can cross-examine him," she said.
"If he's telling the truth, he's the only witness alive who has been in that hall more than once."
"Either way, we should hear him."
"Noted," the Director said. "The vote."
He went around the horseshoe himself.
"For," said the Director.
"For," said the first Association officer, and then the second one said it too, more quietly.
"For," said Kwak Do-han, without looking up from his gloves.
"Against," said the broad man from Busan.
"Against," said the woman from Incheon.
The oldest guild master just shook his head, and the clerk wrote it down as against.
"Against," said the lawyer.
The last chair was the old fire captain's.
He looked at Woo-seok for a long moment across the open end of the horseshoe.
