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

Chapter 31 The Clash Between Section Chief Jiang and Li Zhongjiu

Seok Dong-chul's death caused quite a stir in Seoul.

As the chairman of the Kinmen Group, and a powerful gangster behind the scenes, Seok Dong-chul has a large number of friends and connections in both the legitimate and underworld circles.

Therefore, after his body was cremated, Li Zhongjiu and Ding Qing immediately set up a mourning hall and held a grand memorial ceremony.

At the same time, a large number of invitations were distributed.

Upon learning the news, many prominent gang leaders came to the memorial service to pay their respects.

Among them were several leaders of large gangs.

For example, Choi Sung-hoon, the vice president of the Seven Star Gang.

Zhang Qian, the leader of the Viper Gang.

And the chairman of the Khan Party, one of South Korea's largest drug trafficking groups... and so on.

Although we are all competitors, Shi Dongchu is dead, so it's not a big deal for us to come and pay our respects.

When these gang leaders gather, they naturally have no shortage of subordinates. Each gang brings at least dozens or hundreds of henchmen dressed in black suits, totaling several hundred or even a thousand people.

These are all aggressive thugs and thugs.

The large number of people gathered together put immense pressure on the local police, forcing the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency to dispatch several police teams to the scene to maintain order and prevent a fight.

"These bastards really don't respect us police officers. They openly brought people to offer incense to that damned guy. I'll take care of them sooner or later."

Section Chief Jiang stood on the road outside the mourning hall, watching coldly.

His temples were gray, and he was not particularly handsome. He was wearing an old-fashioned suit and appeared to be an unkempt middle-aged man.

Parked next to him was a police vehicle that was heavily covered up, with two junior officers inside who were responsible for filming the gangsters coming and going.

Looking at Shi Dongchu's mourning hall from afar, Section Chief Jiang frowned. Although he wished this gang leader would die sooner, he did not expect him to die so suddenly.

This completely disrupted many of his plans.

So much so that he and the leaders of the police department devised a new plan: to intervene in the internal leadership transition of the Kinmen Group and select someone they could control to become the new chairman of the Kinmen Group.

On the surface, he told the undercover agent Li Zicheng to help Ding Qing get the position of chairman, but in reality, the person he really liked was Zhang Shouji, the vice chairman who had no real power.

The two sides have made contact.

Zhang Shouji himself had no power and was all alone. By cooperating with the police, he could easily take over the chairmanship. Naturally, he wouldn't refuse such a good opportunity.

It can be said that they hit it off immediately.

at this time.

Section Chief Jiang suddenly saw Li Zhongjiu arrogantly leading a group of people out of the mourning hall and heading straight for him.

"Xiba!"

Li Zhongjiu, who has a bad temper, was furious when he heard from his underlings that Section Chief Jiang and the police were outside the funeral hall and taking pictures. He grabbed a golf club and slammed it into the car window.

Click!

The car window was smashed.

Li Zhongjiu rudely snatched the DSLR camera from the young police officer in the car and slammed it to the ground.

"Damn it, who gave you permission to take these pictures?!"

The two young police officers were so frightened by what they saw that they dared not utter a word.

They were just fresh out of police academy.

How could they dare offend a gangster boss like Li Zhongjiu?

Not satisfied with smashing their cameras, Li Zhongjiu ordered his underlings to take out their phones and start snapping photos of them.

"Damn it, don't you guys like taking pictures secretly?"

"I'll have my underlings take a few more photos of you."

"Look how pathetic you cops who switched careers to become paparazzi are."

Li Zhongjiu's unbridled mockery and veiled insults made Section Chief Jiang lose face. He said coldly, "Li Zhongjiu, you bastard, do you think you're part of a girl group? You won't even let us take pictures?"

“We’re here to keep an eye on you gangsters. With so many mad dogs here today, we police have the right to keep an eye on you, to prevent you from fighting amongst yourselves. Don’t you understand?”

“Li Zhongjiu, if you continue to waste your time here, you won’t even have a chance to carry the coffin. That kid Ding Qing will definitely rush to do it first.”

As soon as these words came out.

As expected, Li Zhongjiu's face darkened.

What he couldn't stand the most was Ding Qing being ahead of him. If Ding Qing really got ahead, what would the Tiger Faction's underlings think of him?

But he had no intention of letting Section Chief Jiang off easily. Instead, he sneered, "Damn it, you're blatantly taking pictures of us, violating our right to privacy. How can I possibly turn a blind eye?"

Section Chief Jiang looked at him as if he were an idiot: "Li Zhongjiu, you bunch of scoundrels are doing illegal and criminal things every day. Isn't it normal for us police to be watching you and taking evidence? What, you're not letting the police take pictures? Is there something you're hiding?"

Li Zhongjiu snorted coldly: "Section Chief Jiang, you need to provide evidence for your words. Our Jinmen Group is a legitimate business company. You're talking nonsense about us being a gang. Even if you're a policeman, you have to apologize to me. Ugh!"

Section Chief Jiang was not afraid of his threat at all. Instead, he laughed sarcastically and said, "Damn it, everyone knows whether you're a gangster or not. That old man Shi Dongchu died too easily. With the evidence we have, the police would have been able to put him in jail for life. But the old man is really powerful. He managed to curry favor with the powerful and was released due to insufficient evidence."

"It's a pity you were so unlucky. You went out to play with women in the middle of the night and ended up ruining yourself. What a piece of trash. You're the second-in-command of the Tiger Faction. Now you want to inherit Shi Dongchu's will? Believe me or not, I'll make you a piece of trash too."

Section Chief Jiang's provocative words made Li Zhongjiu's face turn extremely ugly, and his eyes were filled with murderous intent.

However, with so many people around, even if he's incredibly arrogant, he can't possibly kill a police officer in public. Doing so would be a blatant provocation against South Korea's judicial and law enforcement agencies.

If he really did that, he would only face certain death.

But that doesn't mean he should swallow his anger and let this old man take advantage of him.

"Section Chief Jiang's blunt personality hasn't changed at all. But you'd better be careful lately, who knows, you might have some bad luck one day, like getting hit by a car or falling to your death downstairs..."

"There won't be as many people coming to pay their respects to you then."

"But don't worry, as an old friend, I will definitely go to support you, and I'll send you a few wreaths."

Li Zhongjiu was arrogant to the extreme.

They even dared to threaten people in front of the police.

Section Chief Jiang was not afraid at all. Instead, he mocked, "Li Zhongjiu, let's make a bet and see if I die first or you die first."

As soon as these words came out.

Li Zhongjiu's underlings were furious.

They were all eager to make a move.

"Damn it! Old man, don't talk so rudely."

"Apologize to our Executive Director Li."

"Damn it, you police are too arrogant!"

Faced with the accusations from Li Zhongjiu's underlings, Section Chief Jiang calmly squatted down, picked up the camera from the ground, and said to Li Zhongjiu, "Also, this camera is brand new for our police station. The ink on the invoice isn't even dry yet. You've damaged it. Hand over the money now."

As he spoke, Section Chief Jiang gestured to Li Zhongjiu as if asking for money.

Seeing this, Li Zhongjiu sneered and pulled out several large bills from his wallet, casually throwing them in front of Section Chief Jiang.

"We gave you a little extra; consider it money for Section Chief Jiang's coffin."

Done.

Li Zhongjiu returned to the mourning hall with his group of followers.

"A bunch of bastards, making so much dirty money, they'll get their comeuppance sooner or later!" Section Chief Jiang sneered, bending down to pick up the few scattered bills.

Then he saw a pair of shiny leather shoes stop in front of him.

Section Chief Jiang was stunned on the spot.

He slowly raised his head and noticed that the man was wearing a light blue suit, with a tall and straight figure, a cold and handsome appearance, and a powerful aura.

"Are you Chief Kang from the Bukdaemun District Police Station in Seoul?" the man asked.

His voice was gentle and unhurried, yet it conveyed an undeniable sense of authority.

Section Chief Jiang was about to say, "Who the hell are you, kid? How dare you talk to me like that?"

However, upon seeing the badge that clearly identified him as a prosecutor below the other man's collar, he immediately changed his tone, bowing slightly with a hint of ingratiation, and said, "Prosecutor, I am Kang Jae-min from the Criminal Investigation Division of the Bukdaemun District Police Station. May I ask how you..."

Looking at the old fox, Lee Seung-hwan said calmly, "I am Lee Seung-hwan from the Seoul District Prosecutors' Office's Criminal Division 3. I'm here today to investigate the murder of Seok Dong-chul. I heard that you are the veteran detective who has investigated Seok Dong-chul the longest and knows him best. I would like to ask you some questions."

They learned of Lee Seung-hwan's identity.

Section Chief Jiang was slightly taken aback, not expecting that this matter would alarm the prosecutors of the Seoul District Prosecutors' Office.

However, when Section Chief Jiang thought about Shi Dongchu's social status and the influence of the Kinmen Group he belonged to, he immediately understood.

This prosecutor is definitely trying to use this case to make a name for himself.

Although there are not many prosecutors in South Korea, most of them are unknown and rarely make the news. However, if a prosecutor can get continuous exposure and solve major cases, just like celebrities, he is called a star prosecutor.

Generally speaking, such star prosecutors are easily appreciated by their superiors and the public, and are often held up as role models by their superiors to promote the positive image of prosecutors who are fearless of power and upright.

Many former star prosecutors later achieved great success.

Lee Seung-hwan knew from his previous life that there was a prosecutor in South Korea who was known for his fearlessness in the face of power. He stood up against chaebols and the president, and made a name for himself in several battles! In the end, he sent these two people, who represented the highest status in South Korea, to prison.

Later, this prosecutor even ran for president and was successfully elected.

It was unexpected that this guy would become so subservient after becoming president, not only flattering the United States but also praising their historical enemy, earning him the nickname "Ito Junetsu".

anyway.

Section Chief Jiang noticed something.

And without a doubt, Seok Dong-chul, who has been frequently making headlines recently, is a perfect tool for boosting his fame.

His unexpected death will inevitably attract a large number of reporters.

The prosecutor's announcement of the investigation will undoubtedly attract the attention of reporters and the public. If the case is successfully solved, his fame will surely soar.

So he tentatively asked, "Prosecutor Li, what would you like to know?"

"Let's talk as we walk."

Li Chengmai walked up the steps outside the mourning hall and waved for Zheng Zhishu to follow. Zheng Zhishu silently followed behind the two of them.

As Jiang Zemin watched Li Chenghuan, who dared to venture into the heart of the gangsters' stronghold with only one assistant officer, enter the mourning hall under the watchful eyes of the gang members, a sense of unease rose within him.

Even he didn't dare to come in to such a scene.

They were terrified of being mistakenly killed by these heartless bastards.

But this Prosecutor Li acted as if he were in his own home, barging in without a care in the world.

And when Lee Seung-hwan appeared in the mourning hall.

Countless eyes in the room turned to look at him.

Among these gazes were those of Li Zhongjiu, Ding Qing, Li Zicheng, Zhang Shouji, and other gang leaders.

Most people would feel immense pressure, or even panic and fear, if they were under the gaze of these people.

But Lee Seung-hwan acted as if nothing had happened.

He glanced around and said calmly, "I am Lee Seung-hwan from the Seoul District Prosecutors' Criminal Division. Who are Seok Dong-chul's family members?"
