If I make you a prosecutor, are you going to be the president of South Korea?

Chapter 306 Are you serious?!

Early the next morning.

As soon as Lee Seung-hwan stepped into the prosecutor's office, Jeong Jik-soo, the administrative officer who had been sent on a business trip by Lee Seung-hwan a while ago, hurriedly came to greet him. He bowed slightly, his face showing his usual respect: "Minister, you've arrived."

"It's tree planting." Li Chenghuan nodded, then casually asked, "How's that thing I asked you to do before coming along?"

Zheng Zhishu quickly replied, "It's all taken care of, Minister. Everything is done as you instructed."

Lee Seung-hwan smiled with satisfaction: "Thank you for your hard work."

Zheng Zhishu then brought up the national death penalty referendum: "You should already know about that, right? This morning, that guy named Pei Jizhe died. He was found dead in an unfinished building, and apparently, his death was quite gruesome..."

"Director Ma was worried about disturbing your rest, so he contacted me early this morning. Actually, the police had already warned him about the potential danger and offered to protect him, but he wouldn't listen and insisted on leaving alone, and then..."

“This matter has become quite serious, and the police leadership is taking it very seriously. In addition, many prosecutors in the Criminal Investigation Department are very interested in this case.”

“Your prosecutor, Kim Joon-hyuk, has volunteered and taken over the case. What do you think…”

Lee Seung-hwan listened calmly, waving his hand and saying, "Isn't this a good thing? Since our Chief Prosecutor Kim is so eager to become a star prosecutor, I, as his superior, can't steal his thunder. Let him handle the investigation."

Upon hearing this, Zheng Zhishu began to have doubts.

Our minister is always the type to act without a profit motive. The fact that he so easily handed over such a high-profile case to someone else suggests there's something fishy going on.

Perhaps there are many hidden pitfalls behind this case.

It seems this case is far more complicated than it appears, or perhaps the minister simply doesn't want it to be solved so quickly?

Thinking of this, Zheng Zhishu secretly glanced at Li Chenghuan.

He had a completely calm and collected expression, making it impossible for anyone to guess what he was thinking.

And this time.

South Korean citizens' phones have once again been bombarded with a page for a national death penalty vote, with a prompt asking if they agree to watch a death sentence trial carried out by a dog-faced judge.

The crowd was in an uproar.

Most people couldn't resist and clicked on it out of curiosity.

A familiar scene appeared again.

The judge who appeared on the screen was dressed in a suit and wearing a Pacha dog mask.

"Hello, dear citizens of Seoul, good morning! I am your familiar old friend, Mr. Pacha Dog. You can also call me Dog-faced Judge. I am a righteous executioner."

"The final results of the referendum I initiated yesterday regarding the death penalty for Bae Ki-cheol are in. Everyone was very supportive, with over 85% of the votes in favor of his execution."

"It far exceeds the 50% I set at the time."

"So as you wished, I executed Bae Ki-cheol last night, and after the execution, I also very considerately notified the police."

"They should have already taken the body back for proper disposal. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to these police officers. Thank you for your hard work!"

As he spoke, the dog-faced judge even gave a gentlemanly bow to the camera on the screen.

Then he continued.

"I believe that many curious citizens are interested in the scene of my execution. So, as you wish, I will now release footage of the execution trial of Bae Ki-cheol. Please don't blink!"

Done.

Everyone saw the screen flicker and then a new scene appeared.

This is an unfinished building located in the suburbs, far from any human habitation.

Inside the unfinished building, Bae Ki-cheol was stripped naked and tied to a chair.

A judge dressed in black, wearing a dog-faced mask, slowly approached Bae Ki-cheol, carrying a bucket of ice water.

She splashed it directly in his face.

Wow!

The icy water instantly woke Bae Ki-cheol up.

He opened his eyes and found himself tied to a chair, with a mysterious man wearing a dog-face mask standing in front of him, which startled him.

Then came immense anger.

"Damn it, who are you? How dare you kidnap me here? What do you want? Let me tell you, I know a lot of powerful people, and my connections are beyond your imagination. If you know what's good for you, release me right now, and I'll give you whatever money you want."

To everyone's surprise, the dog-faced judge tilted his head and looked at him, letting out a strange "hehehe" laugh: "Hehehe, Pei Jizhe, don't you know who I am? I am the dog-faced judge, the one who wants your life."

"Didn't you yell at me in the bar before, saying you'd teach me a lesson, calling me a clown, and trying to kill me?"

Upon hearing these words from the dog-faced judge...

Bae Ki-cheol immediately came to his senses.

I was covered in cold sweat.

Asiba!

How can this be?

He wasn't playing a prank; he really meant it—he really wanted to kill himself!

"It's a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding! Brother, let's talk this out! There's no need to kill anyone. I was wrong, I was wrong! I shouldn't have insulted you, and I shouldn't have been so arrogant."

"I'll change, I'll change. From now on, I will definitely turn over a new leaf and start a new life. I will never do those illegal and criminal things again. Please spare my life. Taking the law into your own hands is illegal. Even if you kill me, you won't escape."

"If you let me go now, I'll pretend nothing happened, and I'll even give you a large sum of money, how about it!"

Faced with death, Bae Ki-cheol decisively backed down, repeatedly begging the dog-faced judge for mercy and promising to give him a large sum of money.

Please, judge with the dog-faced face, show mercy.

But to everyone's surprise, the dog-faced judge said expressionlessly, "Name: Pei Jizhe; charges: indecent assault, kidnapping, illegal imprisonment, illegally organizing the filming and sale of child pornography, organizing violent beatings of victims' families... and a series of other crimes!"

"You should have been sentenced to death, but you escaped legal punishment and only received a paltry one-year sentence. Do you acknowledge these facts?"

Faced with the dog-faced judge's questioning.

Despite being terrified inside, Bae Ki-cheol stubbornly refused to admit it: "Brother Dog Mask, I really know I was wrong. I'm willing to turn over a new leaf and start anew."

"I've already been punished for the illegal and criminal things I did in the past. You should give me a chance to turn over a new leaf, right?"

"As long as you release me, I will immediately issue a public apology to the victims I have harmed, actively provide compensation, and obtain the forgiveness of their families."

"Also, I can give you any amount of money you want, but murder is illegal, so don't do anything foolish."

Faced with life and death.

Bae Ki-cheol no longer cared about dignity or face.

If his hands and feet hadn't been tied, he would have knelt down and begged for mercy on the spot.

But to everyone's surprise, the dog-faced judge remained unmoved.

Without saying a word, he walked to the side and picked up two huge suitcases from the ground.

Open it in front of Bae Ki-cheol.

There were two large boxes full of Korean won in cash.

"What, what are you trying to do..."

Bae Ki-cheol was completely baffled when he saw the money in the two combination lock boxes.

Was this dog-faced masked man really joking with me?

Or is it, as some netizens have said, that this is a reality show specifically designed for bone setting?

Is this money compensation for the prank he was played on?

To everyone's surprise, the dog-faced judge said expressionlessly, "Money is just a number to me. I don't lack money."

Bae Ki-cheol looked pained: "Hey, if you don't want money or valuables, why did you kidnap me? I can give you anything you want, just let me go."

People like Bae Ki-cheol, with their outstanding family background and parents backing them up, have always been arrogant and domineering.

Now, when he encounters a ruthless person like the Dog-Faced Judge, who would kill him at the slightest provocation, he immediately cowers.

But how could the dog-faced judge change his plans because of a few words from him?

His face was obscured by the mask, but his tone was unusually serious.

"Bae Ki-cheol, you must die."

"Because more than 80% of South Korean citizens want you to die, that's what people want."

"Because the national death penalty vote is for trying villains like you. You may have a lot of connections in the prosecution and the court, but this time, you can't escape."

"The original intention of the national death penalty vote was to let the whole people judge the right and wrong of a criminal, rather than letting the powerful and wealthy collude with each other, protect each other, stick together for warmth, and oppress ordinary people."

"So-called national laws cannot be used to bully ordinary people. You make the poor obey the law, but you use legal loopholes to seek personal gain and punish the poor."

"But I'm going to overthrow this damn law! I'm going to put down the law, pick up weapons, and from now on, anyone who gets the death penalty through a national referendum will be executed by me, the dog-faced judge."

"And you, Bae Ki-cheol, are the first person to receive this honor! You have witnessed history."

"Now, I will be the one to execute your judgment. You don't need to thank me."

Done.

The dog-faced judge grabbed a large wad of cash from the briefcase and, to Bae Ki-cheol's utter horror, shoved the banknotes into his mouth!

"Woooooooo..."

Bae Ki-cheol's eyes were wide open, his face contorted in pain and despair. He struggled desperately, but his hands and feet were bound, and he felt like he was about to die.

"Help, help!"

The dog-faced judge remained expressionless and even put a plastic bag over Bae Ki-cheol's head.

This caused Bae Ki-cheol to suffocate.

He was suffocated to death very quickly!

Before he died, his mouth was full of Korean won, a very bizarre scene.

And the video ends here.

The audience went wild.

"Damn it, you dog-faced judge, are you serious?!"
