Peninsula Prosecutor

Click! Click!

There was a sharp shutter sound, and Congressman Li Changhui was escorted out of the door by the prosecutor. The reporters who rushed over after receiving the news all raised their cameras and rushed to capture this rare scene.

The harsh shutter sounds came one after another, and the light of the flash made it difficult for Li Changhui to open his eyes. He subconsciously raised his arms to cover himself, feeling extremely embarrassed.

There are rumors that Councilor Li Changhui was arrested for helping his son illegally escape military service. Is this true? Does the prosecutor have definite evidence?

A reporter couldn’t wait to ask:

Mr. Li, do you have anything to say about this? Before Gao Yueren could reply, another reporter followed closely and stared at Li Changhui sharply.

Did the prosecutors already have evidence and deliberately arrest people before the election, or have they just obtained the incriminating evidence?

A young reporter's voice was filled with doubt.

Reporters from various companies kept rushing forward like hungry wolves with green eyes, stuffing their way in with long guns and short cannons, and firing out relevant questions one after another like a barrage of cannons.

Their eyes were focused on Li Changhui like a camera, as if they wanted to accurately capture his every expression and every movement.

Popular presidential candidate arrested before voting.

This is rare big news.

Quiet! Please be quiet! Don't push any further! Under the protection of several subordinates, Gao Yueren was like a small boat in a violent storm. He raised his hand and shouted loudly to signal the crowd to calm down, but it was of no use and could only be forced to zoom in. Recruit, If you push any further, I will refuse to answer any questions!

As soon as he said these words, the crowd that was like a stormy sea a moment ago gradually returned to calm.

Gao Yueren finally breathed a sigh of relief, straightened out her messy clothes, and then faced the reporters and said: Yes, Congressman Li Changhui was arrested because he illegally helped his son escape military service. The prosecutor has been investigating. The reason why we are arresting people now is because we had no definite evidence until recently, and there is no conspiracy theory involved.”

boom!

The reporters who originally came only after hearing the rumors were in an uproar after the prosecutor confirmed it. The quiet crowd once again became excited like boiling water.

Member Li, please say a few words! Please tell me how you feel now. Do you regret this?

Congressman Lee, as a member of Congress, why are you unwilling to let your son fulfill his military service obligation?

Whether Congressman Li admits to the accusation...

Facing these questions, Li Changhui, who was confused, said nothing and just tried his best to cover his face with his hands.

Obviously he also knows that he has no face to see anyone now.

Please give way, everyone, and cooperate with our prosecutor's work. Thank you, give way. Gao Yueren was escorted by his subordinates and squeezed out of the crowd with difficulty.

Your Excellency Prosecutor, may I ask you...

Congressman Li, don't you want to say anything?

The reporters pursued him so hard that the prosecutor struggled to get Li Changhui into the car.

Hurry! Drive! Drive quickly! Gao Yueren shouted while looking at the zombie-like reporters outside the car.

Ordinary citizens did not yet know that Li Changhui was arrested for illegally helping his son escape military service, but the country's powerful and high-ranking officials quickly learned the news.

No matter when or where they were, the officials and wealthy people who supported Li Changhui all cursed in unison after hearing the news: Assi!

People in the National Party are even more devastated. They want to tear Li Changhui alive. The party has invested so many resources in him, but now because this bastard has been caught, everything is in vain. There will be a vote tomorrow morning. Now change The candidates were too late.

Zheng Mengchun was heartbroken. If he had known that Li Changhui would stumble over such a trivial matter, he might as well have withdrawn from supporting his campaign, then he might have won this time.

Fortunately, now, whether the National Party urgently launches a new candidate or gives up running, Lu Wuxuan will win, and no one can compete with him anymore.

Compared to the wailing of the National Party, the Democratic Party is full of laughter and joy. In this favorable situation, I ask how to lose? How else to lose?

All TV stations urgently broadcast this news in their morning news. When the people learned about it, they were even more shocked, angry and other emotions welled up in their hearts.

Assi! This bastard has the audacity to run for president! The best place for him to go is prison!

How can a guy who can't let his son fulfill his military service obligation be patriotic? How can he be worthy of being the president of our Republic of Korea! This is a shame!

Why should we do military service but his son doesn't? Isn't his son a South Korean?

Military service is a huge mountain that weighs on all adult men. It makes people breathless. I thought that no matter how unfair South Korea is, at least no one can escape from military service. But now I know that the son of a fucking congressman can actually avoid military service. Who can balance this?

Faced with the anger of the people, National Party spokesperson Nan Jingbi stood up and apologized, publicly condemned Li Changhui's behavior, and said that the National Party could not tolerate this kind of scum, and temporarily replaced Zheng Mengchun as the National Party's presidential candidate to compete with Lu Wu. Mysterious competition.

Although he knew he was bound to lose, he couldn't give up directly. That would be too demoralizing, allowing Zheng Mengchun to show his face and prepare for the next election.

As for Li Changhui, it is already a thing of the past.

Congressman Li, do you have anything to say about this? Gao Yueren asked, throwing a stack of evidence in front of Li Changhui in the prosecutor's investigation room.

Li Changhui lowered his head and glanced at it. He did not look through it, but said in a dry voice: Xu Jingxian did it, right? This person is really like a poisonous snake, he may bite someone at any time.

It seems that he knows Xu Jingxian quite well.

Congressman Li, thank you very much. I can only blame you for loving your son so much. Xu Jingxian opened the door and walked in.

Gao Yueren immediately stood up and walked to the side like a subordinate to greet him, Minister Xu.

As expected of the young prosecutor general. Li Changhui showed a mocking expression when he saw this scene. He tilted his neck back and looked at Xu Jingxian and said: It is not necessarily a good thing to be too young and too ambitious. If you fall, you may not be able to get up for the rest of your life. Let’s see and do it.”

His political future was over, and he could only spend his old age at home, so his mentality became peaceful, without the anger of being cut off from his future.

Because anger can't change the established outcome.

Congressman Li is right, very right. Xu Jingxian nodded in agreement, then smiled slightly and said: That's why I strive to never fall.

He always sneered at such words. Being successful at a young age is not a good thing, so what is a good thing?

Do you have to be an old man like Fan Jin to succeed? That's calm enough, but what's the point?

Haha, hahahahaha. Li Changhui chuckled at first, and gradually turned into laughter. After laughing, he leaned forward and asked seriously: A spider with eight legs can fall. What about you? How many legs do you have?

He didn't believe that anyone would always have smooth sailing.

Words are meaningless. Xu Jingxian shook his head and walked out, I still have to attend the celebration banquet, so I won't waste my time without you.

Although the voting has not started yet, it does not affect them from opening champagne at halftime, because it is a must-win situation.

In fact, it is not a formal celebration banquet, it is just a meeting where everyone talks about the next step and has a few drinks.

Hahahaha, our great hero is finally here. I suggest that everyone pay tribute to the minister together.

It should be, it should be. It's really thanks to Minister Xu that we created such a great situation this time!

Come, come, let's toast the minister together.

Seeing Xu Jingxian walking into the banquet hall, everyone present greeted him with smiles.

Xu Jingxian casually picked up a glass of wine from the waiter's tray, signaled to everyone, and drank it in one gulp.

Jingxian. Lu Wuxuan walked up to him with a wine glass and gave him a hug. After they separated, he patted his shoulder and said with a smile, Thank you for your hard work.

It is appropriate to share the worries of our seniors. Heo Jingxian bowed slightly, stood up straight and said, Congratulations in advance to your seniors for being elected as the 16th President of the Republic of Korea.

Congratulations, Your Excellency, President! The atmosphere has reached this point, and everyone bows and shouts.

Please get up, please get up quickly. Lu Wuxuan helped him, his face could not hide his excitement, and he raised his wine glass and said: Thank you for your support. I can't wait to join hands with you to fight for the country. We Here’s to a better tomorrow for our country.”

Cheers! Everyone raised their glasses together.

Drinks were exchanged, drinks were exchanged, and everyone's faces were filled with relaxed smiles. Lu Wuxuan's victory was a foregone conclusion, and they would all have a bright future.

Minister Xu. Quan Shenglong came to Xu Jingxian's side with a glass of wine and said with a smile: The matter of Director Jiang Branch has become clearer. I have convinced the other four committee members, plus me and the Director-General, as well as you, He put a nail in the coffin in the North Branch.

Oh? Really? It's really a double blessing for me today. Xu Jingxian clinked glasses with him with a surprised smile on his face, Thank you, deputy chief.

Twenty million US dollars is not in vain, and other people eyeing this position are reluctant to spend that much money.

After all, there are four branches in the East, West, South, and North branches. In addition to the Northern Branch, there are three positions. Why fight with Jiang Xiaocheng, a person who is willing to spend money and has a background.

That's just thankless.

There's no need to thank me, they didn't give me face. Quan Shenglong shook his head, came to Xu Jingxian's side and said, It's for Franklin.

The deputy chief is so humorous, so humorous. Xu Jingxian laughed, Quan Shenglong also laughed, and the two clinked their glasses in tacit understanding, without saying anything.

While Xu Jingxian and the others were chatting, laughing and drinking, Zheng Mengchun rushed to participate in multiple live broadcasts in one day to canvass votes for himself. Although he knew he was going to lose this election, he couldn't lose too badly.

That night, as the 12 o'clock bell rang, it officially entered December 19, 2002. Voting for South Korea's 16th presidential election came. At 6 o'clock in the morning, countless people across the country would take to the streets at polling stations to show their identities. vote to cast your precious vote.

After the voting, the election committee will conduct statistics under the supervision and announce the results to the public. The person with the highest vote rate will become the new president of South Korea.

Of course, it does not mean that the new president will take office directly after the voting results are announced. He will have to wait until the previous president's term expires. For example, if Lu Wuxuan wins the election, he will not be officially inaugurated until February next year.

As expected, the voting ended and the statistical results came out quickly. Noh Moo-hyun was officially elected as the 16th President of South Korea with a high vote rate of 60.4%.

After the results were announced, the whole country rejoiced, and the people who supported Lu Wuxuan sang and danced, just like the New Year. They may have felt that their savior was about to usher in.

In the original time and space, Lu Wuxuan and Li Changhui both received more than 40% of the votes, narrowly winning. However, in this time and space, due to Xu Jingxian's intervention, Lu Wuxuan's vote rate far exceeded that of his competitor Zheng Mengchun.

And it did not happen that after the election in the original time and space, the National Party accused Lu Mouxuan of election fraud and demanded a recount. After all, the gap in the vote rates between the two parties was too large, and it could not be restored by forceful cheating.

The 16th presidential election has come to an end. What Lu Wuxuan has to do next is wait to take office. During this time, he must first divide the cake.

So many people support him, not because they truly believe in his political philosophy, but because they follow him for fame and fortune. Now that it's time to share the fruits, he naturally has to try his best to give most people what they want.

This complex matter requires enough time to be sorted out before it can be implemented one by one after taking office.

Everyone is waiting for their piece of cake.

Xu Jingxian was no exception. He waited for Lu Mouxuan to take office and promoted himself to the position of prosecutor general of Seoul.

A prosecutor general who is less than thirty years old!

And he is also the prosecutor general of the prestigious Seoul District Prosecutors’ Office, which is really exciting to think about.

Li Fuzhen had deeply felt Xu Jingxian's excitement, because her small body was almost falling apart from the tossing, and she could only bite her lip to resist.

The sheets were almost torn by her little hands.

After a while of trembling, Xu Jingxian felt that everything was boring. He turned over and lay on the bed like a star, staring at the ceiling and breathing heavily.

Li Fuzhen's frowning eyebrows relaxed, and he slowly loosened the tightly clenched sheets. He turned his petite body into Xu Jingxian's arms and faced him face to face. He exhaled slowly and said: Be careful, my brother, the overall situation has been decided. , he doesn’t have so many scruples about you anymore.”

She knew that Li Zairong had always disliked Xu Jingxian. For the sake of the Li family's face, she wanted him to divorce and marry her, but Xu Jingxian could not agree.

Therefore, the conflict between the two cannot be reconciled.

In the past, because Xu Jingxian was needed for the presidential election, everyone had common interests and goals, so Li Zairong would exercise restraint, but that won't be the case in the future.

In fact, from the bottom of her heart, of course she also wanted to marry Xu Jingxian, but if Xu Jingxian really abandoned Lin Miaoxi and married her, then she would definitely not marry.

Because Xu Jingxian can abandon his first wife, he will definitely abandon her if there is a better choice in the future.

It's okay, does he still dare to murder state officials? Xu Jingxian smiled nonchalantly.

When he becomes the Seoul District Prosecutor, he will be considered an important official, and he will have to be a secretary and driver.

It becomes increasingly difficult for bad guys to kill him.

Not to mention who dares to murder a prosecutor general?

Of course it is impossible for Li Zairong to do such a thing.

But there is one who wants to do it and is eager to give it a try.

Zhao Taiyuan has been waiting for too long. The damn election has finally settled. The anger that has accumulated in his heart these days can finally be vented to Xu Jingxian.

He knew that Xu Jingxian would definitely be promoted when Lu Wuxuan took office, and it would be troublesome to take revenge on him, so he had to take advantage of these two months to deal with him.

As for how to deal with it, we need to take a long-term approach.

……………………

January 31, 2003, another New Year’s Eve.

Unlike some places, South Korea has a holiday on New Year's Eve, and generally speaking, there is no need to take the day off.

Minister Xu, who had worked hard for the country for a year, had a few days of rare free time. That night, he took his wife, children, nephews and sister-in-law out for a reunion dinner.

The location was booked in a five-star hotel.

Joining us this year are Zhao Dahai and his family.

This was also the second time Xu Jingxian saw his wife after his wedding two years ago. She looked plumper and a little fatter than when she first got married, but she was still voluptuous. Zhao Dahai was very lucky.

But when I think of him driving such a plump car every night with his gentle appearance, I feel very sad.

Si Guoyi, the sea likes to pull carts!

Minister, madam, you are here. Seeing Xu Jingxian's family entering the private room, Zhao Dahai and his wife quickly stood up and bowed to greet them, showing great respect.

It's Chinese New Year, we're not working, we're all friends today, don't be so formal. Lin Miaoxi smiled and looked around, Hey Dahai, isn't your son here? I even brought him a gift.

The son she was talking about was naturally the one born to Zhao Dahai's wife and her ex-husband. He was eight years old this year. Zhao Dahai's own biological daughter was not yet divorced.

It's my expense, madam. There is a children's playground in the hotel lobby. The boy is playing down there and will come up in a moment. Zhao Dahai stepped forward and took the gift from Lin Miaoxi's hand and handed it to his wife, then turned around and picked up the gift box in the corner, This is mine. I have prepared some gadgets for Shi Cheng and Han Yun, please make sure to accept them, Madam.

Okay, we are all old acquaintances, why are we being so polite and formal? Sit down first and leave your things casually. You can take them away later. Xu Jingxian waved his hand, dragged a chair over and sat down.

Others sat down one after another, and Zhao Dahai whispered to his wife: Go and call the child up.

Zhao Dahai's wife stood up and smiled sheepishly at Xu Jingxian and others, and hurried out of the private room.

Waiter, let's start taking the food. Xu Jingxian shouted to the waiter. All the menus for the New Year's Eve dinner had been planned in advance.

Okay, minister, please wait a moment. The waiter smiled, bowed and turned to leave.

The appetizers were served quickly, but by the time the appetizers were finished, Zhao Dahai's wife and children were nowhere to be seen.

Just when he couldn't sit still and was about to go down and take a look, the door of the private room was pushed open, and his wife said anxiously: Haidai, the child is missing!

As soon as she said this, everyone was stunned for a moment.

What! Zhao Dahai was the first to react. He immediately stood up and rushed forward and asked eagerly: Why are you missing? Have you asked the hotel staff? Did you run out?

Although he is a stepfather, and although he married his mother because he was greedy for the child's body, after two years of emotional investment, he has regarded her as his own, so now that he heard that the child was missing, he was naturally worried.

Dahai, don't worry. This hotel is so big, maybe we are playing somewhere. Let the security check the surveillance. Xu Jingxian quickly comforted the two of them.

It was a big deal that the child was missing. He would definitely not be able to eat the New Year's Eve dinner. Xu Jingxian asked Lin Miaoxi and Zhao Dahai's wife to wait in the private room, while he and Zhao Dahai went to the monitoring room to find the security guard to watch the video.

You too, how can you leave your child behind when the hotel is crowded with people during the Chinese New Year? Xu Jingxian couldn't help but criticize their irresponsible behavior on the way.

Zhao Dahai looked annoyed, Minister, you don't know that this child is usually sensible and obedient and never runs around. What's more, he is in a five-star hotel with very good security, otherwise we would not be so confident and leave him alone. Let’s play in the children’s playground below.”

Precisely because he knew that his son's sensible character would not run around, he was very worried now that the child was missing. It was probably an accident.

The two hurried to the monitoring room. After the security guard recognized Xu Jingxian, he immediately cooperated fully with the investigation and monitoring.

As South Korea's first-class luxury hotel.

The security measures were naturally not bad, there were very few blind spots in surveillance, and Zhao Dahai's son was quickly found.

Here, right here, zoom in!

Xu Jingxian suddenly pointed at a picture and shouted.

The security guard zoomed in on the screen, and then he could clearly see Zhao Dahai's son helping a pregnant woman out of the hotel door. The two of them walked out of the range that could be seen by the surveillance camera, and then never came back.

It's normal for a child to be kind-hearted and help a pregnant woman walk for a while, but it's abnormal for her to take a long time to return.

Minister... Zhao Dahai swallowed uneasily, turned to look at Xu Jingxian and shouted.

Xu Jingxian patted him on the shoulder, Stop thinking about it now. I'll call the nearby police station to send someone to check the surveillance video along the street outside the hotel.

As he said that, he took out his cell phone and made a call.

Then he returned to the private room with Zhao Dahai.

Have you found it? Minister, Dahai, have you found the child? Zhao Dahai's wife immediately stood up and rushed forward after seeing the two of them, with a look of urgency on her face.

Zhao Dahai stepped forward and hugged her gently, stroked her hair and comforted her: It's okay. The surveillance camera saw my son helping a pregnant woman out. Maybe he sent her home. You know our son is kind. The minister has asked the police to investigate We've taken surveillance along the street, it's okay.

No matter how hard this sounds, it doesn't sound convincing enough.

Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooootwww...... Although Zhao Dahai said that it was okay, his wife knew that if it was really okay, there would be no point in doing this, and she couldn't help but choked up.

Xu Jingxian sighed and looked at Lin Miaoxi and Han Xiuya, You should send her home first.

His New Year's Eve dinner this year was a waste.

Lin Miaoxi and Han Xiuya nodded, then stepped forward to help Zhao Dahai's wife leave.

Okay, don't cry. Let's go back and wait for news. Staying here won't help much.

Yeah, let's go, go back and wait.

Zhao Dahai's wife was crying and followed Lin Miaoxi and Han Xiuya out of the house obediently.

Relax and wait for news from the police. After the two of them were left alone, Xu Jingxian patted Zhao Dahai on the shoulder, then sat down on the chair and picked up the bowls and chopsticks, The food has been served, let's eat whatever we want. Just two mouthfuls, the children need to be looked for, but the food also needs to be eaten.”

Zhao Dahai nodded and sat down, but after taking two random bites, he couldn't eat anymore and sat there in a daze.

Before the police reported any findings from the surveillance, Zhao Dahai received a call from home.

What? What! Zhao Dahai's expression continued to change, and his voice kept getting louder. After hanging up, he held his phone and sat there in shock, unable to recover.

Xu Jingxian saw this and asked, What's wrong?

My wife received a call from the kidnapper at home. My son was kidnapped. Zhao Dahai came back to his senses, pursed his lips and said with a trembling voice.

Things really took a turn for the worst.

Xu Jingxian's face turned solemn. Although he had guessed this possibility, he still couldn't help but sigh after it was confirmed and asked, What else did the kidnapper say?

Since it is a kidnapping, there must be demands, and the child's life will definitely not be harmed in a short period of time.

Tell me not to call the police, otherwise I will kill someone and silence you, and wait for his call. Zhao Dahai scratched his head a little irritably and feebly, and said in a deep voice.

Xu Jingxian pondered and tapped his fingers rhythmically on the table, making a thumping sound. After a moment, he suddenly asked: Does the child remember the phone number at home?

He only remembers me and his mother. Zhao Dahai shook his head and explained: The landline at home is rarely used, so I never told him.

As mobile phones become more and more popular, the landline phones in many wealthy people's homes have basically become furnishings.

But the kidnapper knows. Xu Jingxian looked up at him and expressed his speculation, Since the kidnapper knows your home phone number, he knows your identity. He is here for your son, and he is definitely not looking for money.

Zhao Dahai nodded, because he didn't have much money as a substantive officer. If the kidnapper was looking for money, there were so many children in the children's paradise at that time. Those who could come to a five-star hotel to book a New Year's Eve dinner were all rich or expensive. They would kidnap anyone and ask for ransom. Much more than tying up his son.

The police should investigate secretly first, so as not to alert the kidnappers. Xu Jingxian breathed out, and then said: The kidnappers haven't expressed their demands yet, and they will call. I will arrange for the people in the technical department to work overtime, and you will find a solution when the next call comes. Let’s stall for time and see if we can locate where the kidnapper made the call.”

The difficulty with this kind of kidnapping case is that if it is not true, there is nothing you can do, and you can only investigate it secretly in the early stage.

The masses cannot be mobilized through the media.

Otherwise, the kidnappers will be in big trouble if they tear up the ticket.

Okay. Zhao Dahai nodded heavily, then stood up and bowed, I hope you, Minister, can personally take charge of this case. I don't worry about the others.

Normally, a kidnapping case does not require the ministerial prosecutor Xu Jingxian to personally take charge of it.

Leave it to me. Xu Jingxian stood up and helped him up, solemnly promising, I will definitely catch the kidnapper and let your son return safely.

Then he immediately went to arrange everything and asked all departments that could be used to come back to work overtime urgently.

Of course, it is definitely inhumane behavior to ask people to skip the New Year’s Eve dinner and come back to work overtime.

So he promised to give people who worked overtime tonight some rest time, and even sent them a few plates of hot dumplings for dinner. This kind of thoughtful behavior made those who worked overtime feel warm.

It's a pity that the situation is too urgent, otherwise we would just buy flour and make dumplings together.

But the whole night passed.

Zhao Dahai's home phone didn't ring anymore.

Asking for a monthly ticket! Asking for a monthly ticket! Asking for a monthly ticket!
