Chapter 536 Prosecutor
The next day.
Nine o'clock in the morning.
Seoul High Court.
A row of people in suits and ties stood at the foot of the steps, waiting for something.
The leader has a standard Chinese character face with strong and masculine facial lines. Coupled with a strong body that should have been exercising regularly, the whole person is full of a mighty and unyielding heroic spirit. If it were placed in a movie, Mostly a decent character.
He looked at the end of the wide road at the entrance of the court, occasionally looking down at his watch.
“That’s a prosecutor from Goryeo, Che Changmin.”
“Do you know him?”
In the parking lot, Jiang Chen and Gao Zhengbi were sitting In the car.
Prosecutor.
Even for foreigners, it is a familiar official position. It often appears in Goryeo movies. It has sole power and is responsible for case detection and prosecution. Its power is superior to the police agency. It is stronger than domestic civil servants. Not even a little bit.
In China, even if you pass the civil service examination, you can only barely get an iron bowl of rice. If you are assigned to a Qingshui Yamen, your life can be said to be ordinary and without any hope.
But becoming a prosecutor in Goryeo has a completely different meaning.
It is enough for a low-level person to change his fate in an instant and become the privileged and even ruling class of Goryeo.
There is a Goryeo movie about the luxurious life of a grassroots citizen who passed the judicial examination and became a prosecutor.
Becoming a prosecutor can be said to be the dream goal of every ordinary Goryeo citizen. However, the number of prosecutors in Goryeo is only over a thousand. Compared with the population of Goryeo, it can be called a One in a million.
“He is very famous among the Korean people and has handled many major cases. It is said that he was involved in the imprisonment of Samsung Chairman. I don’t know him personally, but his public image is quite outstanding. Perhaps he is a model specially created by the Goryeo Ministry of Justice. He is regarded by the public as 'Bao Qingtian' and has a high prestige. Although he is only forty years old, he is already a prominent figure in the Goryeo prosecutor system. Not surprisingly, he is the chief prosecutor. There will definitely be a place for him in the future.”
One inspector can make all the difference.
Not to mention there are only forty or fifty attorneys general in total.
In Goryeo's judicial system, a person who can sit in this position can only be described in four simple words.
Covering the sky with one hand!
"It seems that he may be responsible for Miss Lan's case. Perhaps this case has become a step for him to be promoted to the prosecutor general."
While listening to Gao Zhengbi's introduction, Jiang Chen looked at "Bao Qingtian" at the door of the court.
Is this a well-prepared conspiracy, or is it simply "asking for help for the people"?
"It should be Miss Lan who is here."
Gao Zhengbi suddenly spoke up.
Through the car window, Jiang Chen looked towards the road.
I saw a black car driving steadily at an unhurried speed. When it stopped at the foot of the steps, it was Lan Peizhi who pushed the door and got out.
Che Changmin, a promising prosecutor, quickly led people to greet him. Although he could not hear clearly what was said, it was clear from his demeanor that the prosecutor had a dissatisfied attitude towards Lan Peizhi. Pretty bad.
It seems that people who can climb to such a high level, no matter how much they hate evil, cannot understand how to adapt.
Jiang Chen just felt a little confused.
Che Changmin's peaceful attitude is understandable. She is only the target of prosecution. With the charges against Lampei, why can she still be so free?
Although Jiang Chen has never been in a lawsuit, he has never eaten pork and has always seen pigs running away.
Aren’t the prisoners who committed the most heinous crimes in the movie news all been detained in advance, and were taken out by the bailiffs with silver handcuffs on their hands during the trial, and sat in the dock with ashen faces, waiting for their fateful trial?
Before Jiang Chen could figure it out, a black motorcade with a strong aura appeared on a rare six-lane road in Goryeo. They almost occupied the entire road. Although they were silent, their posture revealed But extremely arrogant.
Other cars could only follow behind obediently, not even daring to honk their horns.
Che Changmin, the prosecutor with a brilliant resume, looked over and narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Car Inspector."
The motorcade stopped and An Zairong got out of the car first. He wore a black suit and black leather shoes, which were polished so brightly that they even reflected under the light.
What hasn't changed is the iconic red tie. He faces Cha Changmin with a bright smile and white teeth. He looks friendly, enthusiastic, and harmless.
It is hard to imagine that he is actually an executioner who kills people without blinking an eye.
“Bang, bang, bang…”
One after another, dozens of masculine men in black got out of the car, and the entrance to the court suddenly became extremely lively.
"Did Mr. An bring so many people here to destroy the court?"
Che Changmin smiled back, but compared to An Zairong, his smile was lukewarm. , and has a hidden edge.
"Prosecutor Cha, please don't slander me and smash up the court? Where do I have the courage? Prosecutor Cha has been investigating me for so long, so he must know me quite well. I am relatively timid, and I came to the court again. It’s a place like this, so bring more friends to increase your sense of security.”
An Zairong raised his arms and said cheerfully: “We shouldn’t have exceeded the court’s number limit, right?”
"Of course not."
Che Changmin smiled softly. He was not as polite to An Zairong as he was to Lan Peizhi. He glanced at the men in black who were definitely not kind-hearted. , said neither lightly nor seriously: "Mr. An, you are free to bring as many people as you want, but I would like to remind you that with so many of you going in, I wonder how many people will be able to come out later?"
"Hahaha..."
An Zairong laughed.
“Thank you very much for the reminder, Inspector Cha. However, Prosecutor Cha doesn’t have to worry about this issue. We are all good, law-abiding citizens. What’s there to be afraid of? I would also like to remind Prosecutor Cha, You have arrested so many people, there is no guarantee that no one will hold a grudge. Prosecutor Cha, you should pay more attention on weekdays. It is best to be like me and take more people with you when you go out, otherwise something happens to a just and capable person like Prosecutor Cha. , That’s a huge loss for our entire Republic of Korea.”
“Are you threatening public officials?”
Before Che Changmin spoke, one of his clerks took the lead. Unable to keep his temper, the young man, who had just joined the job, glared at An Zairong, who made rude remarks.
"What's your name?"
An Zairong turned his head slightly, and with just one look, the young man who had just entered the judicial profession felt an inexplicable coldness. A venomous snake stared at it, and it was uncontrollable and did not dare to talk to it.
An Zairong smiled.
"Inspector Che, it seems that the people under you still lack training. With this kind of understanding, it is easy to mistake good people for bad people."
Che Changmin was silent.
An Zairong did not continue to press. He turned around and bowed slightly, "Miss Lan."
Lan Peizhi turned a blind eye to the verbal confrontation between the two sides and stepped up the steps.
“Let’s go, don’t delay your Honor’s court session.”
An Zairong chuckled and followed up calmly.
Dozens of tough men in black followed closely behind.
“These people are so arrogant!”
After they left, these prosecutors with public power dared to express their indignation.
Che Changmin was neither sullen nor angry, with a face as flat as a lake. He turned around without saying a word and stepped up the steps.
"Mr. Jiang, let's go in too."
Seeing the two groups entering the court one after another, Jiang Chen nodded, opened the door and got out of the car.
Without saying hello to Lan Peizhi or even notifying the other party, Jiang Chen and Gao Zhengbi entered the court, specially found a remote corner at the back and sat down quietly.
But because there were no "people waiting around" in the court this time, their presence was inevitably noticed.
An Zairong looked back, then smiled, then turned his head and said something to Lan Peizhi, who was sitting next to him.
Lampei Zhi immediately turned around.
Jiang Chen did not dodge and calmly nodded towards the other party.
Lampezhi quickly turned his head again without any reaction.
Che Changmin and his subordinates sat on the other side, a bit like two university classes in one classroom.
There is an empty "isolation zone" between the two gangs, which truly demonstrates the clear distinction between good and evil, light and darkness.
About three minutes later, the judge entered the room.
Everyone stood up in unison, including Lan Peizhi, which was regarded as giving basic respect to the Goryeo judiciary.
Immediately, a shackled man was escorted into the venue by expressionless bailiffs.
Obviously.
The defendant in today’s trial does not seem to be Lampezhi.
The trial officially begins.
As the trial progressed, Jiang Chen gradually learned about today’s main defendant.
It is the man sitting in the core "C position" with a scar on the back of his neck.
"Zou Kezhao, the prosecutor has accused you of smuggling, intentionally injuring others, violently resisting arrest, and engaging in underworld organized crime... Do you admit to these crimes?" "No."
This Zou Kezhao is a native of China. Even though he is sitting in the dock and handcuffed, he is quite calm, calm and indifferent.
"What excuses do you have for having stolen the goods? These crew members, including the captain, all stated that they were ordered by you to transport this cargo."
"I don't know anything. I just came to Goryeo to visit..."
"Stop quibbling, you are a Chinese and went to Goryeo to commit crimes. Do you really think we can't do anything to you?"
The prosecutor made an impassioned speech, "The only chance you have now is to tell everything you know. Who else is behind you? Who is your superior? Who else is there in your organization? This is you The only chance to reduce the crime.”
“I haven’t done anything.”
Zou Kezhao’s attitude was very simple, and he didn’t know anything about it.
"Okay, you don't admit it, right?"
Seeing this, the prosecutors turned their fire and questioned the other defendants, "Did Zou Kezhao instruct you to put that batch of goods on the ship? And? More than once?”
“No, we all followed the company’s orders. We didn’t know it was smuggled goods at all.”
The other defendants said in unison that they should be prosecuted in court. The personnel were caught off guard.
An Zairong smiled.
Che Changmin was neither sad nor happy, calm and composed.
"Your Honor, I apply to call other witnesses."
"Yes."
The devil is as high as the Tao.
The prosecutors reacted quickly. Since they dared to prosecute, they couldn't have prepared a backup plan.
Because other witnesses need to be recruited temporarily, the trial is temporarily adjourned.
Zou Kezhao waited for the defendant to be brought to court. When he turned around, he glanced at Lampei.
"Miss Lan, he should be your better friend, right?"
Che Changmin walked up to Lan Peizhi.
“I’m sorry, I’m afraid he can’t live without Goryeo.”
"Really?"
Lan Peizhi looked indifferent. Before Che Changmin could speak, she had already passed him by.
On the aisle.
Jiang Chen stared at the woman walking towards him.
"The prosecutor seems very confident."
"Mr. Jiang, you can rest assured that nothing will happen to you."
Following Lan Peizhi An Zairong smiled mysteriously.
"Prosecutor Cha, it's bad, Lee Hyun Joong is missing."
A subordinate reported to Cha Changmin in a hurry,
Cha Changmin frowned , As expected of a man who has seen the world, he did not panic.
"It doesn't matter, there are other witnesses."
Another person hurried over.
"Prosecutor Cha, the news just came that Park Jung Hyuk committed suicide at home."
Cha Changmin's expression changed slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "Didn't I say that I would send someone to protect you? Is he okay? "
"Our people are always guarding the door. Who would have thought that he would commit suicide? "
As an experienced prosecutor, Che Changmin certainly understands that there is something fishy. , but now is not the time to dwell on these things. There is only half an hour for the adjournment. If no other witnesses appear in court to testify after half an hour, today's trial may be in danger.
"Contact Team C immediately..."
Before Che Changmin could finish his words, the young man who had just scolded An Zairong ran over.
"Prosecutor Cha, the National Police Agency called..."
He stopped mid-sentence.
An ominous premonition arose in Che Changmin's heart, and his tone couldn't help but reveal a hint of urgency.
“Keep talking!”
“The National Police Agency said that there was an accidental car accident at 8 o’clock in the morning. A Hyundai car fell into the Han River. The people in the car were colleagues from Group C. ..."
"What?"
"What happened?"
One person grabbed his shoulder.
The young man hesitated, "The Police Department said that the car has been salvaged and all the people in the car were killed."
Che Changmin's face suddenly sank.
"What about the witness they are responsible for?"
He is worthy of being an elite leader in the prosecution system, and he does not care about feeling sad for the sacrifice of his colleagues.
The young man hesitated to speak, and finally said with difficulty: "The Police Department said that there was another person named Li Xingyu in the car."
Che Changmin's pupils fluctuated violently.
Bad news came one after another.
Equal to say.
The taint witnesses he had painstakingly prepared have now been wiped out.
"Prosecutor Cha, what's wrong? Why is your face so ugly? Are you not feeling well? If you are not feeling well, you should go see a doctor. Your health is important."
An Zairong's shout came from the corridor Voice.
Che Changmin turned his head and looked at Lan Pei and his party over there with an ugly expression.
“Good means.”
Lampei Zhi didn’t even look at him.
An Zairong smiled slightly.
"Prosecutor Cha, when will the witnesses you prepared arrive? Don't keep the judge waiting."
Che Changmin clenched his hands, did not reply, and turned to the other direction. leave.
The subordinates quickly followed.
"Miss Lan, everything is done."
An Zairong withdrew his gaze.
Jiang Chen glanced at him.
An Zairong smiled back and continued to talk to Lan Pei: "Do you need to give this guy named Che..."
He made a gesture of wiping his neck.
“There are more than a thousand prosecutors in Goryeo. If we can kill them all, then we will kill him.”
"..."
An Zairong was silent.
"I'll leave this to you."
"Yes."
Lampe turned around.
Jiang Chen quickly followed.
