Chapter 331: The dust settles, the kidnapping on Chinese New Year's Eve (ask for a monthly pass!) Ask for a subscription! )
"Click!" "Click!"
A piercing shutter sounded, and Congressman Li Changhui was escorted out of the gate by the prosecutor, and the reporters who rushed over after receiving the news all raised their cameras and scrambled to capture this rare scene.
The piercing shutter sound came and went, and the light of the flash stabbed Li Changhui so that he couldn't open his eyes, and he subconsciously raised his arm to block it, extremely embarrassed.
"There are rumors that Congressman Lee Cheung-fai was arrested for helping his son illegally escape military service, is this true? Does the prosecution have conclusive evidence? ”
A reporter couldn't wait to ask
"Do you have anything to say about this, Councilor Li?" Without waiting for Gao Yueren to reply, another reporter followed closely behind, staring sharply at Li Changhui.
"Did the prosecution have evidence to deliberately arrest people before the election, or did they just get incriminating evidence?"
A young journalist's voice was skeptical.
Journalists pounced forward like hungry wolves with green eyes, long guns and short cannons stuffed into it, and one related question after another seemed to shoot out a series of cannons.
Their eyes focused on Li Changhui like a lens, as if they wanted to accurately capture his every expression and every movement.
The popular presidential candidate was arrested before the vote.
This is rare big news.
"Quiet! Please be quiet! Don't squeeze any further! Gao Yueren was like a flat boat in a storm under the protection of several subordinates, raising his hand and shouting loudly to signal the crowd to calm down, but it was useless, and he could only be forced to enlarge his move, "If I squeeze forward, then I will refuse to answer any questions!" ”
As soon as he said this, the crowd that was like a storm and waves a moment ago suddenly gradually returned to calm.
Gao Yueren finally breathed a sigh of relief, sorted out the messy clothes that had just been squeezed, and then said to the reporters: "Yes, Congressman Li Changhui was indeed arrested because he had illegally helped his son escape military service, and the prosecution has been investigating. ”
Rumble!
The reporters who had only heard the rumors were in an uproar after being confirmed by the prosecution, and the quiet crowd became agitated like boiling water again.
"Councilor Li, say a few words! Tell us how you feel about it and do you regret it? ”
"Councillor Lee, as a member of Congress, why is he unwilling to let his son fulfill his military service obligations?"
"Whether the ...... of the Rep Lee pleaded guilty to the allegation"
In the face of these questions, Li Changhui, who had a messy brain, didn't say a word, but tried to cover his face with his hands.
Obviously, I also know that I don't have a face to see people now.
"Please let me cooperate with our prosecution's work, thank you, let me go." Gao Yueren squeezed out of the crowd with difficulty under the escort of his subordinates.
"Your Excellency the Prosecutor, may I ask you ......?"
"Councilor Li, don't you want to say anything?"
The reporters pursued him relentlessly, so that the investigators had to make great efforts to escort Li Changhui into the car.
"Quick! Drive! Hurry up! Looking at the zombie-like reporter outside the car, Gao Yueren hurriedly shouted.
Ordinary citizens did not know about Li Changhui's arrest for illegally helping his son escape military service, but the country's elite and high-ranking people soon learned the news.
No matter when or where they are, the officials and tycoons who support Li Changhui all scolded in unison after hearing the news: Asi!
The people of the National Party collapsed even more, and they wanted to tear Li Changhui alive, the party invested so many resources in him, but now because this bastard was caught, everything was in vain, and he had to vote early tomorrow morning, and it was too late to change the candidate now.
Zheng Mengchun was heartbroken, he knew that Li Changhui would be planted in such a trivial matter, so it was better to withdraw and support his candidacy, then maybe he would win this time.
Now it's a good thing, whether the National Party urgently puts forward a new candidate or gives up running, Lu Wuxuan has won, and no one can compete with him anymore.
Compared with the wailing of the National Party, the Democratic Party is full of laughter and joy. How else can you lose?
All the TV stations urgently broadcast the news on the morning news, and the people were even more shocked when they learned about it, and all kinds of emotions such as anger welled up in their hearts.
"Assi! This bastard still dares to run for president! The best place for him to go is prison! ”
"How can a guy who can't get his son to fulfill his military service obligation be patriotic? And how is it worthy of being the president of the Republic of Korea! It's a shame! ”
"Why do we have to do military service, and his son doesn't need to, isn't his son South Korean?"
Military service is a mountain that weighs on all adult men, and it makes people breathless, I thought that no matter how unfair South Korea is, at least no one can run away from military service, but now I know that the son of a fucking parliamentarian can actually not serve in the military, who can balance it?
In the face of the anger of the people, the spokesman of the National Party, Nam Jingbi, stood up to apologize, publicly condemned Li Changhui's behavior, and said that the National Party could not tolerate such scum, and temporarily replaced Zheng Mengchun as the presidential candidate of the National Party to compete with Lu Wuxuan.
Although he knew that he would lose, he couldn't give up directly, which would be too demoralizing, so Zheng Mengchun showed his face to prepare for the next general election.
As for Li Changhui, it is already in the past.
"Councilor Li, do you have anything to say about this?" In the district prosecutor's interrogation room, Gao Yueren threw a pile of evidence in front of Li Changhui and asked.
Li Changhui glanced down and didn't look at it, but said in a dry voice: "Xu Jingxian got it, right?" This person is really like a poisonous snake, and he will bite someone at any time. ”
It seems that he knows Xu Jingxian quite well.
"Councilor Li has won the award, and you can only blame your beloved son." Xu Jingxian pushed the door and walked in.
Gao Yueren immediately got up and walked to the side like a subordinate to greet him, "Minister Xu." ”
"It's really worthy of the little prosecutor general." Li Changhui showed a mocking expression when he saw this scene, and looked back at Xu Jingxian with his neck back and said: "It's not necessarily a good thing to be too young and ambitious, if you fall, you may not be able to get up for the rest of your life, so let's watch and do it." ”
His political future is over, and he can only live at home for the rest of his life, so his mentality has become peaceful, and there is no anger that his future will be cut off.
Because anger can't change the set outcome.
"Councillor Lee is right, very right." Xu Jingxian nodded approvingly, and then said with a slight smile: "So I try never to fall." ”
He has always scoffed at this kind of talk, it is not a good thing to be young and ambitious, so what is a good thing?
Do you have to be a person like Fan Jinzhong to get his ambition? That's calm enough, but what's the point?
"Hehe, hahahahaha." Li Changhui chuckled at first, but gradually turned into a laugh, and after laughing, he leaned forward and asked seriously: "Eight-legged spiders will fall, what about you?" How many legs do you have? ”
He didn't believe that anyone would always have smooth sailing.
"The benefit of the tongue is meaningless." Xu Jingxian shook his head and turned to walk out, "I still have to go to the celebration banquet, so I won't waste time with you." ”
Although the voting has not yet begun, it does not affect them to open the champagne at half time, because it is a must-win situation.
In fact, it's not a formal celebration banquet, it's just that everyone meets to talk about the next step and have a few drinks by the way.
"Hahahaha, our great hero is finally here, and I propose that everyone pay tribute to the minister."
"It should be, it should be, this time it was really a loss to Minister Xu to create this great situation!"
"Come, come, come on, and give a toast to the minister."
Seeing Xu Jingxian walking into the banquet hall, everyone present greeted him with a smile on their faces.
Xu Jingxian casually picked up a glass of wine from the waiter's tray, signaled to everyone, and drank it all.
"Jingxian." Lu Wuxuan walked up to him with a wine glass, gave him a hug, patted him on the shoulder after parting, and said with a smile: "It's hard." ”
"It is appropriate to share the worries of the seniors." Heo Kyung-hyun bowed slightly, stood up straight and said, "Congratulations in advance on my predecessor's election as the 16th president of the Republic of Korea." ”
"Congratulations, Your Excellency!" The atmosphere was all over the place, and everyone bowed and chanted.
"Please get up, please get up." Lu Wuxuan helped him for a moment, his face could not hide his excitement, and he raised his glass and said: "Thank you for your support, I can't wait to join hands with you to fight for the country, and we respect the country for a better tomorrow." ”
"Cheers!" Everyone raised their glasses together.
Pushing the cup and changing the lamp, staggering, everyone's faces are full of relaxed smiles, Lu Wuxuan's victory is a foregone conclusion, and they will all have a bright future.
"Minister Xu." Quan Shenglong came to Xu Jingxian's side with a wine glass, and said with a smile: "The matter of Director Jiang Branch is clear, I have already persuaded the other four committee members, plus me and His Excellency the Chief Minister, as well as you, he will level the northern branch hall. ”
"Oh? Is it? That's a double happiness for me today. Xu Jingxian clinked glasses with him with a surprised smile on his face, "Thank you, Vice Minister." ”
Twenty million dollars was not spent for nothing, and other people staring at this position were reluctant to come up with that much money.
After all, there are four branches in the east, west, north and south, and there are three positions in addition to the northern branch, so why fight with Jiang Xiaocheng, a person who is willing to spend money and has a background.
That's purely thankless.
"Don't thank me, they don't give me face." Quan Shenglong shook his head, leaned over to Xu Jingxian and said, "It's for Franklin." ”
"The second chief is really humorous, humorous." Xu Jingxian laughed, Quan Shenglong also laughed, and the two tacitly touched their glasses, and everything was silent.
When Xu Jingxian was talking and laughing, and raising a glass and drinking, Zheng Mengchun urgently participated in a number of live broadcasts to canvass for himself in one day, although he knew that he was going to lose this election, but he couldn't lose too ugly.
In the evening, as the bell rang at 12 o'clock, the votes for the 16th South Korean presidential election were coming, and at 6 o'clock in the morning, countless people across the country would go to the polling stations on the streets, show their ID cards and cast their precious votes.
After the polls, the election committee will count the votes and announce the results, and the person with the highest percentage of votes will become the new president of South Korea.
Of course, it is not that the new president can take office directly after the voting results, but he will have to wait for the expiration of the previous president's term, 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 statistics came out quickly, and Roh Moo-hyun was officially elected as the 16th president of South Korea with a super high rate of 60.4% of the vote.
After the results were announced, the whole country rejoiced, and the people who supported Lu Wuxuan sang and danced, just like the Chinese New Year, they may feel that they are about to usher in their own big savior.
In the original time and space, Lu Wuxuan and Li Changhui both won more than 40 percent of the votes, narrowly winning, but because of Xu Jingxian's intervention in this time and space, Lu Wuxuan's vote rate far exceeded that of his rival Zheng Mengchun.
And there was no incident where the National Party accused Lu Wuxuan of election fraud and demanded a recount after the election, after all, the gap between the vote rates of the two sides was too large, and it was impossible to get it back if they were forced to cheat.
The 16th presidential election has come to an end, and what Lu Wuxuan has to do next is to wait for his inauguration, and during this time, he has to first divide the cake.
So many people support him, not because they really believe in his philosophy of governance and follow him, but for fame and fortune, and now when it is time to share the fruit, he naturally has to give most people what they want.
It takes a lot of time to sort out this complex thing before it can be implemented one by one after taking office.
Everyone was waiting for their piece of cake.
Xu Jingxian is no exception, he waited for Lu Wuxuan to promote himself to be the chief prosecutor of the Seoul District Prosecutor after he took office.
Attorney General under the age of thirty!
And he is also the chief prosecutor of the Seoul District Prosecutor's Office, which is full of gold, but it is really exciting to think about.
Li Fuzhen had already deeply felt Xu Jingxian's excitement, because her small body was about to be tossed apart, and she could only bite her lip and resist.
The sheets were about to be torn by her little hands.
With a shudder, Xu Jingxian felt that everything was boring, turned over and lay on the bed in a zigzag shape, staring at the ceiling and breathing heavily.
Li Fuzhen frowned and stretched, slowly loosened the tight sheets, turned sideways and put his petite body into Xu Jingxian's arms to face him, and said slowly with a sigh: "Be careful my eldest brother, the overall situation has been decided, he doesn't have so many scruples about you." ”
She knew that Li Zairong had always looked at Xu Jingxian unpleasantly, and for the sake of the Li family's face, she wanted him to divorce and marry herself, but Xu Jingxian could not agree.
Therefore, the contradictions between the two cannot be reconciled.
In the past, Xu Jingxian was used for the presidential election, everyone has common interests and goals, and Lee Jae-yong will still refrain from it, but it may not be the case in the future.
In fact, in her heart, of course she also wants to marry Xu Jingxian, but if Xu Jingxian really abandons Lin Miaoxi to marry her, then she will definitely not marry.
Because Xu Jingxian can even abandon his wife, he will definitely abandon her if there is a better choice in the future.
"It's okay, does he dare to murder a state official?" Xu Jingxian smiled disapprehantly.
When he becomes the chief prosecutor of Seoul, he can be regarded as an important officer, and both the secretary and the driver must be matched.
The difficulty of the bad guys trying to murder him skyrockets.
What's more, who would dare to murder a prosecutor general?
Of course, it is impossible for Lee Jae-yong to do such a thing.
But there is one who wants to do it.
Cho Tae-won has been waiting too long, the damn election has finally settled, and the anger he has been piling up in his heart these days can finally be vented to Xu Jingxian.
He knew that when Lu Wuxuan took office, Xu Jingxian would definitely be promoted, and if he wanted to retaliate against him at that time, it would become troublesome, so he had to take advantage of these two months to clean him up.
As for how to clean up, you have to think long-term.
…………………………
January 31, 2003, another year of Chinese New Year's Eve.
Unlike some places, South Korea's Chinese New Year's Eve is a holiday, and generally speaking, there is no need to take a holiday.
Minister Xu, who has worked for the country for a year, ushered in a few days of rare leisure time, and that night, he took his wife, children, nephews and sisters-in-law out for a reunion dinner.
The location was booked in a 5 star hotel.
This year, there is also Zhao Dahai's family.
This is also the second time Xu Jingxian has seen his wife after his wedding two years ago, she looks more plump and fatter than when she first got married, but it belongs to the kind of flesh, Zhao Dahai is a good blessing.
But the thought of his sven appearance driving such a plump vehicle every night is very astringent.
Si Guoyi, the sea likes to pull big carts!
"Minister, ma'am, you are here." Seeing Xu Jingxian's family enter the private room, Zhao Dahai and his wife hurriedly stood up and bowed to greet each other, behaving very respectfully.
"It's the New Year, it's not going to work, it's all friends today, don't be so restrained." Lin Miaoxi smiled and looked around, "Hey, didn't your son come?" I even brought him a gift. ”
The son she said was naturally born to Zhao Dahai's wife and ex-husband, who is eight years old this year, and Zhao Dahai's own biological daughter is still not broken.
"Let the lady break the bank, there is a children's playground in the hotel lobby, the kid is playing below, and he will come up in a while." Zhao Dahai stepped forward to take the gift in Lin Miaoxi's hand and handed it to his wife, then turned around and picked up the gift box in the corner, "This is a little gadget I prepared for Shicheng and Hanyun, and I ask my wife to accept it." ”
"Okay, they're all old acquaintances, why are you so polite and formal? Sit down first, leave your things as you like, and take them away later. Xu Jingxian waved his hand and dragged a chair to sit down.
The others sat down one after another, and Zhao Dahai whispered to his wife: "You go and call the child up." ”
Zhao Dahai's wife got up and smiled embarrassedly at Xu Jingxian and the others, and hurriedly walked out of the private room.
"Waiter, let's start walking." Xu Jingxian shouted at the waiter, and the menus for all Chinese New Year's Eve meals had been prepared in advance.
"Okay minister, please wait a minute." The waiter smiled, bowed, and turned to leave.
The appetizer was served quickly, but Zhao Dahai's wife and children were nowhere to be seen until the appetizer was served.
Just when he couldn't sit still and was about to go down to take a look, the door of the private room was pushed open, and his wife said with an anxious face: "The sea, the child is gone!" ”
As soon as she said this, everyone was stunned for a moment.
"What!" Zhao Dahai was the first to react, and immediately got up and rushed forward, asking eagerly, "Why can't you see it?" Have you asked the hotel staff? Did you run out? ”
Although he is a stepfather, although he married his mother because he was hungry for the child's fucking body, but after two years of emotional investment, he has regarded it as his own, so now that he hears that the child is gone, he is naturally very worried.
"The sea, don't worry, this hotel is so big, maybe where to play, let the security check and monitor." Xu Jingxian hurriedly comforted the two.
The child is missing but a big deal, this Chinese New Year's Eve dinner must not be able to eat, Xu Jingxian asked Lin Miaoxi and Zhao Dahai's wife to wait in the private room, and he and Zhao Dahai went to the monitoring room to find security guards to watch the video.
"You too, how can you leave your child down when the hotel is full of people during the New Year." On the way, Xu Jingxian couldn't help but count their irresponsible behavior.
Zhao Dahai looked annoyed, "Minister, don't you know, this kid is usually sensible and obedient, and he never runs around, not to mention that he is in a five-star hotel, and the security is very good, otherwise we will definitely not be so relieved to let him play in the children's paradise below." ”
It is precisely because he knows that his son's sensible personality will not run around, so now that the child is gone, he is very worried, which is likely to be an accident.
The two hurriedly came to the monitoring room, and after the security guard recognized Xu Jingxian, he immediately cooperated with the investigation and monitoring.
As a first-class luxury hotel in South Korea.
The security measures are naturally not bad, there are few blind spots in monitoring, and Zhao Dahai's son was quickly found.
"Here, here, zoom in!"
Xu Jingxian suddenly pointed to a picture and shouted.
The security guard zoomed in on the picture, and then it was clear that Zhao Dahai's son was holding a pregnant woman all the way out of the hotel gate, and the two kept walking out of the range that the surveillance could see, and then they never came back.
It is normal for a child to be kind-hearted and help a pregnant woman to walk for a while, but it is very abnormal if he does not return for a long time.
"Minister......" Zhao Dahai swallowed uneasily, turned his head to look at Xu Jingxian and shouted.
Xu Jingxian patted him on the shoulder, "Don't think about it yet, I'll call the nearby police station to send someone to check the surveillance video along the street outside the hotel." ”
As he spoke, he took out his mobile phone and called.
Then he returned to the private room with Zhao Dahai.
"Did you find it? Minister, the sea, have you found the child? Zhao Dahai's wife immediately got up and rushed forward when she saw the two, with a look of urgency.
Zhao Dahai stepped forward and gently hugged her, stroked her hair and comforted: "It's okay, the monitoring saw my son helping a pregnant woman out, maybe he sent her home, you know that our son is kind, the minister has asked the police to monitor along the street, it's okay." ”
No matter how convincing that sounds.
"Woooooooooooooo Although Zhao Dahai said that it was okay, his wife knew that if it was really fine, it would be useless, and she couldn't help choking up.
Xu Jingxian sighed and looked at Lin Miaoxi and Han Xiuya, "You can send her home first." ”
His Chinese New Year's Eve dinner this year is considered a soup.
Lin Miaoxi and Han Xiuya nodded, and then stepped forward to help Zhao Dahai's wife to leave.
"Okay, don't cry, let's go back and wait for news first, staying here won't help."
"yes, let's go, go back and wait first."
Zhao Dahai's wife cried and cried, and obediently followed Lin Miaoxi and Han Xiuya out of the door.
"Relax, wait for news from the police." After only the two of them were left, Xu Jingxian patted Zhao Dahai on the shoulder, and then sat down on the chair and picked up the dishes and chopsticks, "The dishes are all served, let's eat two bites casually, the child wants to find it, but the rice has to be eaten." ”
Zhao Dahai nodded and sat down, but he couldn't eat two bites indiscriminately, and sat there in a daze.
Before the police could send a call to the police, Zhao Dahai received a call from home.
"What? What! Zhao Dahai's face changed continuously, his voice continued to rise, and after hanging up, he pinched his mobile phone and sat in place in a daze without coming back to his senses.
Seeing this, Xu Jingxian asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"My wife received a call from the kidnappers at home that my son had been kidnapped." Zhao Dahai came back to his senses, pursed his lips, and said in a trembling voice.
Things went for the worst.
Xu Jingxian's face was grim, although he guessed this possibility, but now that it has been confirmed, he still can't help but sigh and ask, "What else did the kidnappers say?" ”
Since it is a kidnapping, there must be a demand, and it will definitely not harm the child's life in a short time.
"Say you can't call the police, otherwise you will kill people, and wait for him to call." Zhao Dahai scratched his head a little irritable and weak, and said in a deep voice.
Xu Jingxian groaned and tapped his fingers rhythmically on the tabletop, making a thumping sound, and after a while, he suddenly asked, "Does the child remember the phone at home?" ”
"He only remembers me and fuck." Zhao Dahai shook his head and explained: "The landline at home is basically not commonly used, so I haven't told him. ”
With the increasing popularity of mobile phones, the landlines in many wealthy homes have basically become decorations.
"But the kidnappers knew." Xu Jingxian looked up at him and said his speculation, "Since the kidnappers know your phone number, they know your identity, and they are going to your son, and they are definitely not looking for money." ”
Zhao Dahai nodded, because he was a practical officer and did not have much money, if the kidnappers wanted money, there were so many children in the children's paradise at that time, and those who could come to the five-star hotel to book a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner were either rich or expensive, and it was more expensive to kidnap one casually for ransom than to kidnap his son.
"Let's investigate secretly first, so as not to alarm the kidnappers." Xu Jingxian exhaled, and then said: "The kidnappers haven't said their demands yet, and they will call, I will arrange for the people from the technical department to work overtime, and when the next call comes, you will find a way to delay the time and see if you can locate where the kidnappers called." ”
The difficulty of this kind of kidnapping case is that if it is not actually possible, there is no way to do it, and it can only be secretly investigated in the early stage.
The masses cannot be mobilized through the media.
Otherwise, it will be a big trouble for the kidnappers to tear up the ticket.
"Okay." Zhao Dahai nodded heavily, then got up and bowed, "I hope you can personally take charge of this case, I don't worry about others." ”
In a kidnapping case, normally speaking, Xu Jingxian, the minister and prosecutor, does not need to be personally responsible.
"Leave it to me." Xu Jingxian got up and helped him up, and solemnly promised, "I will definitely catch the kidnappers and let your son return safely." ”
He immediately went to arrange everything, so that all the departments that could use it came back to work overtime urgently.
Of course, it is definitely inhumane for people to run back and work overtime without eating Chinese New Year's Eve for the New Year.
So he promised to give the people who worked overtime tonight a day off, and also specially sent them a few plates of hot dumplings for Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, this intimate behavior made the overtime people feel warm.
It's just a pity that the situation is too urgent, otherwise we would just buy flour and make dumplings together.
But the whole night passed.
The phone at Zhao Dahai's house didn't ring again.
Ask for a commuter pass! Ask for a commuter pass! Ask for a commuter pass!
