Early morning of February 3, 2003.

"Jingle Bell ~ Jingle Bell ~"

The silence in room 1810 of an apartment building in Yongsan-gu was broken by a ringing phone, and the young kidnapper, who was in charge of keeping vigil in the living room, was suddenly awakened, and after glancing at the caller ID, he couldn't help but smile on his face.

"Hey." He casually pressed the connect button.

Then the voice of Zhao Dahai's wife with a crying voice came from the mobile phone, "My husband has already turned himself in in the early morning, and notified the reporter in advance, you turn on the TV now, and you should be able to see the relevant reports on the morning news later, I hope you can let my son go, woo woo woo woo ......"

"We'll watch, don't worry, as soon as we see the news, we will release your son immediately." After the young kidnapper finished speaking, he hung up the phone, got up and knocked on the door of the master bedroom, "Hurry up, hurry up." ”

"What's wrong?" After a while, the middle-aged kidnapper and the female kidnapper came out while getting dressed.

Apparently we settled each other out last night.

The young kidnapper said with a smile: "Just now Zhao Dahai's wife called, saying that Zhao Dahai had surrendered in the early morning, and also notified the reporter that the morning news should report the relevant news in a while." ”

As he spoke, he bent over and turned on the TV.

Subconsciously pressed the remote control to tune to the channel of KBS TV, which is often watched by South Koreans, and there were less than ten minutes before the morning news.

"Hehe, it's really a mountain of fatherly love." The middle-aged kidnapper yawned, and then said: "Xu Jingxian trusts him, it can be regarded as a blood mold, he notified the reporter in advance because he was afraid that the people behind Xu Jingxian would suppress the matter, so anxious, this is for his son, he has to put Xu Jingxian to death." ”

As a father, Zhao Dahai is qualified, but he obviously betrayed Xu Jingxian's trust.

"He put himself in it, how can he care about Xu Jingxian's life or death." The woman shook her head and commented, turned around and motioned for the man to help her button her underwear, and then said, "It's the first time I've seen my stepfather so affectionate to his stepson." ”

"Isn't it clearly written in the information given by the employer, otherwise why would we kidnap Zhao Dahai's stepson?" The young kidnapper said casually.

The middle-aged kidnapper helped the female kidnapper fasten her underwear and sat down on the sofa, propped up her waist and said, "Asi, I've been hiding in the house every day lately, and I'm finally going to end it." ”

As the minutes ticked by, the KBS morning news aired on time to the familiar opening music.

The host is still the intellectual Lin Zhiai.

"Good morning, everyone, and welcome to today's KBS morning news ......"

At first, she broadcast normally, but there was a pause in the middle, with a shocked look on her face, she raised her head slightly to look at the camera and said: "Now insert an urgent news, this station has just received the news that Zhao Dahai, the substantive officer of the star prosecutor Xu Jingxian, surrendered in the early hours of the morning and confessed that Xu Jingxian was suspected of a number of crimes......"

The kidnappers looked at each other, couldn't contain the smiles on their faces, and high-fived each other in celebration.

“ Yes！ Hahaha! Get it done! ”

"I can finally get out of this damn place!"

"Jingle Bell ~ Jingle Bell ~"

Just then, the phone rang again.

"Zhao Dahai's wife." The young kidnapper picked it up and looked at it and said to the two, then connected.

"Hello? See the news? Hurry up and release my son, right away! If you go back on your word, I'll call the police now, and I have nothing to lose!" Zhao Dahai's wife yelled hysterically in a crying voice, obviously out of control and on the verge of collapse.

The young kidnapper's face changed and said, "Don't be impulsive, we'll release your son right away." ”

He hung up and looked at his two companions.

"The woman's son was kidnapped, and now she has just lost her husband, she is going crazy, she must be stabilized as soon as possible, lest she call the police and cause trouble, you find a public phone booth and leave it, we will go to the employer to get the balance and meet at the airport." The middle-aged kidnapper looked at the young kidnapper with a serious face and said.

The young kidnapper immediately nodded, "Okay." ”

It's all done, and if something happens at this time, it's too fucked.

It's better to hurry up and close the deal and get away.

The young kidnapper drove Zhao Xuyang to a public phone booth to release him, while the middle-aged kidnapper and the female kidnapper drove another car to the employer to get the final payment.

The two sides split up at the intersection outside the apartment.

And when they merged into the main road, the police, who had already laid an ambush, drove up separately.

Soon after leaving the apartment building, the young kidnapper found a public phone booth, then took out the earplugs in Zhao Xuyang's ears, tore the tape from his mouth, and cut the ropes on his hands and feet, "Get out of the car, you are free from now on, report your mother's safety." ”

Zhao Xuyang's little face turned pale, he glanced at him in shock, and hurriedly opened the car door and rushed down without looking back, but he did not obediently run to the public phone booth, but a shopping mall with a large flow of people.

"Little ghost, my heart is not small." The young kidnapper sneered, and then prepared to start the car and go to the airport to wait for his companions to evacuate, but before he could twist the key, several cars rushed over him in all directions, and his car was overflowing.

The young man was suddenly shocked, and immediately subconsciously reached out to take out the gun, but as soon as he touched the gun, the cars surrounding him stuck out of the windows with several black holes, pointing at him through the glass.

Let him not dare to act rashly, after all, as long as he dares to raise the gun, he will be beaten into a sieve in the next second.

"Don't move! The police! ”

"Slowly raise your hands! Fast! ”

Then the doors of all the cars opened, and a plainclothes policeman armed with a gun got out of the car and surrounded the young kidnappers.

Looking at this scene, the young kidnapper's whole person was like being struck by lightning, his eyes were dull, and his brain was buzzing.

Hit the plan.

But he didn't understand how he was exposed.

The news has obviously broadcast that Zhao Dahai surrendered and reported Xu Jingxian, can it be fake?

On the other side, the middle-aged kidnapper and the female kidnapper did not know that their accomplice had been arrested, and the middle-aged kidnapper was driving, while the female kidnapper called the employer.

"Hey." A calm male voice came from the receiver of the mobile phone, sounding over thirty years old.

The female kidnapper said: "Boss, the matter has been completed, bring the final payment and see you at the old place." ”

Her tone was full of lightness and comfort.

"Done? Didn't you wake up? What nonsense? The employer was stunned for a moment and then spoke in a bad tone.

The female kidnapper was also stunned when she heard this, and her pretty face turned cold, "Boss, what do you mean by this, no one dares to rely on our accounts yet, you don't need to be so ugly." ”

Her first reaction was that the other party wanted to repay the debt, after all, she didn't believe the content of the news broadcast, and the employer didn't see it.

"Assi, I'm in debt?" The employer laughed angrily, gritted his teeth and said, "You guys haven't finished your work yet, and you want the final payment?" Who the is this trying to pay the bills? Are you wronged by me? ”

"Didn't you watch KBS today's morning news?" The female kidnapper sensed that something was wrong.

"Look, every day, I'm still watching, what's wrong?" After the employer finished speaking, the more he thought about it, the more angry and angry he became, "Enough, don't care about him, what do you mean!" ”

This time it was the turn of the female kidnapper to get angry, and said with a sneer: "Since you have read the news, you still say that we are not done?" Isn't this trying to repay the debt? ”

What was said at the beginning was that as long as Zhao Dahai was successfully forced to report Xu Jingxian, they would complete the task.

But now that the news has come out, the employer wants not to admit it, how can she not be angry?

"Assi! Damn it! What exactly are you talking about? "The employer sensed that there was something serious about this woman.

"I'm ......" The female kidnappers were interrupted by a loud bang before they could finish their sentences, and the vehicle they were driving was hit by an off-road vehicle and went all the way up the green belt.

The employer heard the commotion and asked, "Hello?" Hey, hey, hey? What's wrong? What are you doing over there? ”

However, the female kidnapper's brain was dizzy, and her mobile phone fell under the seat, so she couldn't respond at all.

"Assi!" The employer hangs up.

"Toot ~ Toot ~ Toot ~"

There was a busy sound coming from the female kidnapper's phone.

The middle-aged kidnappers and female kidnappers in the car were stunned by the sudden violent impact, and when they came back to their senses and saw a clear vision, they saw more than a dozen people in civilian clothes already surrounding them with guns.

The leader's mouth kept opening and closing, as if he was saying something, but they couldn't hear it at all, they just realized that the situation was not good.

"Police! Don't move, we'll get you out now, don't try to resist ...... senselessly"

Finally their hearing was restored, and the words they could hear made them feel like they were falling into an ice cave, so it was better not to listen.

But then a doubt appeared in the minds of the two.

How did the police find out about them?

On the other side, the employer who had just finished talking to the bandits on the phone became more and more wrong, and immediately turned around and walked towards the restaurant of the villa, where Zhao Taiyuan, who was wearing a nightgown, was sitting at the huge dining table eating breakfast.

Two nannies stood next to him serving him a meal.

"Boss." After approaching, the bodyguard first bowed slightly, and then said: "Just now, the guy called and said a bunch of inexplicable things, and then there was a loud noise over there, I'm afraid something happened, should we prepare early?" ”

After careful investigation, Zhao Dahai and his stepson have a very good relationship, so kidnapping Zhao Dahai's son to coerce Zhao Dahai to turn himself in and report Xu Jingxian is a way that Zhao Taiyuan came up with to retaliate against Xu Jingxian.

After all, Zhao Dahai must be the person who knows Xu Jingxian's secrets the most, and he must also have some evidence of his crimes, which can make Xu Jingxian unable to turn over.

"Waste." Zhao Taiyuan scolded, picked up the water and rinsed his mouth, turned his head and beckoned to the bodyguard.

The bodyguard took two steps forward and leaned down slightly.

Zhao Taiyuan grabbed his ear, kept exerting force in his hand, and said with a smile: "Do you think I scolded them?" I'm scolding you! Rubbish! Take me so much money every year, I can't even find a few people who can do things, what use do you say I want you? Well? ”

He took his mouthwash and poured it over the bodyguard's head.

"The boss is angry, ah! I promise there won't be a next time. The water soaked the hair and slid down the forehead and cheeks, and the bodyguard felt like his ears were going to be torn off, and his facial features were distorted in pain.

Zhao Taiyuan let go of his hand, then picked up the napkin in front of him and wiped his hands with disgust.

The bodyguard immediately took two steps back and covered his reddened ears and gasped, and then asked repeatedly, "Should we prepare early?" ”

"What are you going to do?" Zhao Taiyuan ate breakfast disappreciatively, and said vaguely: "What if they are arrested?" At most, it's just a confession to you, and you've been caught? Will you confess to me? ”

"Don't dare!" The bodyguard immediately bowed his head in response.

"That's right." Zhao Taiyuan shrugged.

The bodyguard pursed his lips, and said cautiously in a careful tone: "But once they confess to me, then Xu Jingxian will know that it was the boss who instructed him." ”

He certainly didn't want to go to jail if it was possible.

"So what?" Zhao Taiyuan smiled undeniably, turned his head to look at him, and asked with a serious face, "Does Xu Jingxian have any evidence?" No evidence! So, even if he knows that I am the mastermind behind the scenes, he can't arrest me and him off, haha. ”

The bodyguard couldn't laugh, although his salary was very high, but at the moment he still inevitably felt cold.

However, the sad thing is that even if he is cold, when the police find his head, he still has to honestly carry all the pots and pick Zhao Taiyuan clean.

Who let him be old and young, if he dares to be disobedient, then his family will be in danger.

………………………

Seoul District Prosecutor's Office, Inquiry Room No. 3.

Xu Jingxian pushed the door in.

The middle-aged kidnapper in handcuffs behind the interrogation table slowly raised his head when he heard the sound, and when he saw Xu Jingxian, he gritted his teeth and asked, "How did you do it?" ”

He just couldn't figure it out.

"Technology changes lives." Xu Jingxian smiled slightly, dragged away the chair and sat down, crossed Erlang's legs and said lightly: "The news you see is actually a TV program that I asked KBS TV to customize exclusively for your residential area. ”

"Of course, in order to prevent misunderstandings caused by too many people seeing fake news, I also asked the power department to cooperate with other people's homes on the street where you live to cut off power during the morning news, and only keep the power supply to your den, so that only you can see fake news."

"Then let Zhao Dahai's wife call you pretending to be about to collapse, threatening to call the police if you don't release anyone again, you are sure that the matter has been done after watching the news, and you will definitely release the person as soon as you don't want to make trouble, and finally as long as you make sure that the hostages are safe, we will be able to close the net."

After Xu Jingxian finished speaking, he smiled and spread his hands.

It's as simple as that, it's nothing more than a debt to the leaders of the TV station and the power department.

What he is not afraid of owing is favors, and everyone owes each other in order to further deepen the friendship.

The middle-aged bandit fell silent, and after digesting the information for a while, he sighed and asked, "How did you find out where we were hiding?" We control the duration of the call, you can't locate it. ”

"You can't locate it by a machine." Xu Jingxian nodded and asked rhetorically, "But what about people?" ”

The middle-aged kidnapper was stunned, and suddenly realized that he was being targeted when he was on the phone in the square that day.

"Knock knock!" Xu Jingxian knocked on the table to bring him back to his senses and said, "It's time to answer my doubts, is there a feud between us?" ”

"No?" The middle-aged kidnapper shook his head and said without concealment: "We are collecting money to do things." ”

"Who is the employer?" Xu Jingxian asked again.

The middle-aged kidnapper replied: "I don't know his name, but I remember what he looks like, you can arrange someone to paint a portrait, my ability to describe is okay." ”

Xu Jingxian nodded and got up to leave, and the people below were naturally responsible for handling the rest of the matter.

In the Lu family, Lu Wuxuan was sitting in the study writing and drawing, scratching his head from time to time and losing a lot of hair.

He is making personnel adjustment plans after taking office.

"Knock knock!" There was a knock on the door.

Immediately without waiting for a response, Kim so Qing pushed the door in with coffee, being a secretary enough to serve at home, which shows how much he is trusted by Lu Wuxuan.

"Your Excellency, let's have a cup of coffee and rest, there are more than 20 days left before taking office, and many jobs are not in a hurry." Kim so Qing said respectfully.

Lu Wuxuan put down his pen and sighed, "Personnel arrangements are really a problem, if there are too many people on the side of the National Party, they will definitely not agree, and the energy of the two parties will be consumed in internal fighting if they fight for this, so how can they have time to focus on state affairs." ”

He is an idealist and simple-minded politician, and he wants to relinquish some of his power after taking office and co-govern with the opposition Nationalist Party, and the two parties will work together to develop the country.

But what he did was to damage the power of the Democratic Party of Japan as the ruling party, and many people in the party would have opinions about him, so in the original time and space, it can be seen that he wanted to do a lot of things during his administration, but the result was that many things were done in a mess.

"After all, not everyone is as dedicated to the country and has a broad mind as Your Excellency." Jin Zhuqing complimented, his eyes inadvertently swept over the notebook in front of Lu Wuxuan, and said casually: "As long as Your Excellency can fire the first shot after taking office, successfully complete the reform of the procuratorial system, and establish prestige, then the two parties will definitely coexist peacefully under the leadership of a strongman like you in the future and contribute to the country together." ”

As Lu Wuxuan's personal secretary, of course he knew that Lu Wuxuan had taken the reform of the procuratorial system as his primary goal after taking office, although he felt a bit like unloading the grind and killing the donkey, but he didn't dare to say anything.

After all, Wen Yingzai couldn't persuade Lu Wuxuan, and if he was a secretary, he would be easily disgusted.

"Yes, there are three fires for the new official to take office, and this first fire must be prosperous! However, the resistance encountered will definitely be great. Lu Wuxuan groaned.

Jin Zhuqing said with a smile: "Minister Xu, as the idol of all grassroots prosecutors, as long as he supports you, you will definitely be able to suppress different voices." ”

Lu Wuxuan was silent when he heard this, he hadn't told Xu Jingxian about it, after all, Xu Jingxian was also a prosecutor, his approach was to cut the power of all prosecutors, would Xu Jingxian still be willing to support him?

"And Prosecutor Lin, he is loyal to Your Excellency, and he will definitely support him unconditionally." Kim so Qing observed his face and mentioned Lin Zhongzhong again.

Lu Wuxuan's eyes moved slightly, and he groaned.

Lin Zhongzhong did show loyalty to him many times.

There is even some flattery, so he does not like it.

But he has to admit that if he proposes to reduce the power of the prosecutor now, I am afraid that only this Prosecutor General Lin can absolutely guarantee his support.

Lim Chung Chung is the chief prosecutor of the Seoul District Prosecutor's Office, the most powerful and influential prosecutor general in the country.

If Lin Zhongzhong had taken the lead in expressing his support for promoting the reform of the procuratorial system, the success rate would have been much higher.

He had promised several times before that he would use his presidential privileges to promote Heo Kyung-hyun to be the prosecutor general of the Seoul District Prosecutor's Office when he took office, but now he was hesitant.

Because if Xu Jingxian does not support his reform plan against the prosecution, then he puts Xu Jingxian, who is already very prestigious, in such a key position with huge influence, isn't it equivalent to creating a strong resistance to his own reform?

After thinking about it, he sighed, looked at Jin Suqing and said, "Help me make an appointment for Minister Xu to eat." ”

"Yes, Your Excellency." Jin Zhuqing bowed slightly and turned to leave, but walked out of the Lu house but did not call Xu Jingxian, but called Lin Zhongzhong, "Prosecutor General Lin, Your Excellency has hesitated about whether to use Minister Xu to replace your position. ”

"Thank you Secretary Jin for helping me with my kind words, I will definitely thank you after the deed!" Lin Zhongzhong said excitedly.

He had long known that Lu Wuxuan wanted Xu Jingxian to replace him, and of course he didn't want to give up such a key position, so he showed his loyalty to Lu Wuxuan almost flatteringly, and on the other hand, he showed weakness everywhere and even gave up the position of the procuratorial committee to paralyze Xu Jingxian.

In order to finally keep his official position.

And the key point is to cooperate with Kim so Kyung.

Jin Zhuqing chuckled, "There's no need to thank you or anything, as long as you can use Prosecutor Lin's place in the future, Prosecutor Lin can help." ”

Although Xu Jingxian helped him last time, he still chose to help Lin Zhongzhong keep his position, because he will be the presidential secretary in the future, and he also needs to have his own people with high enough status in key departments such as the prosecution.

And Xu Jingxian is obviously not willing to listen to him, so he can only be sorry for Xu Jingxian.

Everyone has their own interests.

"Definitely, definitely." Lin Zhongzhong responded.

After hanging up the phone, Kim so Qing called Xu Jingxian, "Minister Xu, are you busy?" Your Excellency hopes to be able to have dinner with you tonight. ”

"Okay, send me the address on my phone, I'll be there on time." Xu Jingxian immediately agreed.

That night, Heo Kyung-hyun and Lu Wuxuan met at a restaurant, accompanied only by Kim so-kyung.

"Senior, it seems that you must be very busy during this time, and you even have dark circles under your eyes." After taking a seat, Xu Jingxian used homely words to bring the relationship between the two closer.

"My head is bigger, so I'll ask you to have two drinks tonight to relax." Lu Wuxuan smiled bitterly, shook his head and said, "I'm already so busy before I become president, I really don't dare to think about the future." ”

The two chatted a lot, after three rounds of drinking, and after five flavors of food, Lu Wuxuan finally got down to business, "Jingxian, you are a prosecutor, do you have any opinion on the current prosecutor system?" ”

Xu Jingxian poured the wine for a moment, thinking that Lu Wuxuan had done something to cut the prosecutor's power and fall out with the prosecutor after he came to power, and immediately knew what he wanted to do.

"I don't know the true face of Lushan, only because I am in this mountain, as a mountain person, I am afraid that I can not see as clear as the predecessors of this mountain outside, and I am willing to listen to the teachings of my predecessors." Xu Jingxian put down the wine glass and said.

Lu Wuxuan looked at him deeply, drank wine and said, "Jingxian can't see clearly, or doesn't you want to see clearly?" As a prosecutor, do you have any advice on the fact that the prosecutor's power is too great and almost unrestricted, and I am prepared to reform it so that the prosecution can be supervised in the exercise of its powers? ”

I just asked you if you supported me.

Lu Wuxuan said it so clearly that Xu Jingxian couldn't help but want to scold his mother, with his understanding of this guy's temper, if he dared not support it, no matter how deep the friendship was in the early stage, he would instantly turn his face.

Just look at Jin Houguang to know this.

Lu Wuxuan's achievements are inseparable from Jin Houguang, and Jin Houguang almost single-handedly promoted him.

In the original time and space, in order to win votes, he said that he would liquidate the Kim Houguang government after winning the election, and he originally thought that he was just talking, but he really did it.

Xu Jingxian is sure that if he does not support him, then the personal relationship between the two will end here.

"Yes, of course yes! After all, power can only guarantee its impartiality if it is supervised. Xu Jingxian stood in line first, and then changed his words, "But, senior, the matter here is very complicated, you can't rush, you have to take your time......"

Lu Wuxuan originally had a smile on his face when he heard the first half of his words, but after hearing the second half of the words, the smile on his face gradually disappeared visibly.

Xu Jingxian supported him, but he had too many concerns.

Can't do it desperately to support him.

Compared with Lin Zhongzhong, he was very dissatisfied.

So he has already decided in his heart that Xu Jingxian cannot be the chief prosecutor of the Seoul District Prosecutor, and this position must still be given to Lin Zhongzhong, who supports him unconditionally.

Lu Wuxuan was a person who couldn't keep his mouth shut, so he directly interrupted Xu Jingxian's words, "I know what you think, I'll think about it, Jingxian, let's talk about where you go next, the four branches of the East, West, South, and South, or the head of the Central Investigation Department, you think about it and give me an answer as soon as possible." ”

Xu Jingxian raised his head instantly, first staring at Lu Wuxuan, and then staring at Jin Suqing behind him.

Kim so Qing smiled at him and gestured politely.

"Okay senior, I'll think about it." Xu Jingxian's face was calm, but the knuckles of his fingers holding the knife and fork had turned faintly white from too much force.

He originally thought that this position was in his pocket, and many people also thought so, but now he didn't give it to him, so what would other people think of him?

Then he exhaled slowly, let go of the knife and fork in his hand, picked up the napkin and wiped his mouth, "I've eaten well, senior, please use it slowly, Jingxian will leave first." ”

"Su Qing, send Jing Xian."

"Minister Xu, please." Kim so Kyung raised his hand.

Xu Jingxian nodded slightly and followed him out.

"Who found you?" After walking out of the private room, Xu Jingxian's face turned cold, and he asked lightly.

Based on his understanding of Lu Wuxuan in the past two years.

Even if he didn't give himself the position of Seoul District Prosecutor General, he would not be so blunt and tough.

It's obvious that someone gave himself eye medicine in front of him first, or gave him a better choice.

And the only person who can blow the wind in his ears is Kim so Kyung.

Jin Zhuqing smiled slightly and pretended to be stunned, "I don't know what Minister Xu means by this......"

"You'll find out soon." Xu Jingxian stopped and stared at him, and said with a smile.

Then he snorted coldly and sped up his pace to leave.

Kim so Kyung looked at his back with disdain.

"Minister, why is it so fast?" Zhao Dahai, who was sitting in the hall smoking, was stunned when he saw Xu Jingxian walking out of the elevator, and immediately extinguished the cigarette and got up to greet him.

Xu Jingxian didn't say a word, and Zhao Dahai didn't ask any more questions when he saw this, quickly overtook him and went to the car door.

"Assi! I don't care about you! ”

After getting in the car, Xu Jingxian scolded directly.

Before Lu Wuxuan became president, he began to unload the mill and kill the donkey, and the people below also began to engage in infighting.

No wonder it was a mess during his administration.

"I'm going to decide the position of the chief prosecutor of the Seoul District Prosecutor!" Xu Jingxian raised his hand and loosened his tie.

I promise not to give good things.

Then he will take it himself.

Ask for a commuter pass! Ask for a commuter pass! Ask for a commuter pass! I'm sorry, I suddenly had an urgent matter today, so the update was late......
