Chapter 316 Min Ji-young's Ambition

Gangnam District, Seoul.

In a luxurious villa.

After finishing her meeting, Congresswoman Min Ji-young returned home and was somewhat surprised to see her son, Lee Min-soo, come home so early. She asked, "Min-soo, don't you have school today?"

Li Minxiu sat on the sofa, watching his mother return. He stood up, smiled slightly, and said:

"There were fewer classes today, and some things happened too. A policeman drove into our school playground, and the students were evacuated, so we teachers were able to leave work early."

Upon hearing this, Min Ji-young paused for a moment, then asked in surprise, "Is it related to that dog-faced judge who voted in the national death penalty vote? I also watched that death sentence. I think that woman named Eom Eun-jung was blown up, and what about that policeman?"

“That policeman didn’t die. He deliberately faked it to deceive everyone,” Lee Min-soo said with a sneer. “His name is Kim Moo-chan. Oh, Mom should remember him a little.”

Upon hearing this, Min Zhiying immediately remembered: "It was him! Didn't that guy forge evidence to frame you back then? That cunning and despicable bastard dared to bully my son. It was too lenient of him to demote him back then."

"It's a real shame that the dog-faced judge didn't kill him with the explosion."

Speaking of which.

A hint of ambition flashed in Min Ji-young's eyes as she said to her son, "Min Soo, there's something I want to tell you. One of the presidential candidates, Jang Pil-woo, recently died, so I also want to run for the presidential nomination."

"Although it's too late now."

"But I discovered a cheat code, which is this organization that votes on the death penalty."

"That dog-faced judge is a genius. He gains extremely high public support by holding national death penalty referendums. Every time he votes on the death penalty for bad people, he gets a very high support rate, far beyond what we can imagine."

"I think that if I can bring their organization into my camp, it will be of great help to my presidential campaign. You know, the approval ratings of previous presidents when they were elected were only 30 to 50 percent."

What do you think of Mom's idea?

Hearing his mother's words...

A strange glint flashed in Lee Min-soo's eyes.

He looked at his mother's face, a strange smile appearing on his lips: "Oh, how did Mom know I was planning to infiltrate the national death penalty vote, switch the princes, and replace them?"

Upon hearing this, Min Ji-young was also stunned: "Min Soo, you mean..."

Lee Min-soo's lips curled into an evil smile: "I've already roughly guessed who's behind this national death penalty vote, and I've even bribed one of them. I'm gradually chipping away at their ranks and dividing their members. It won't be long before I've successfully taken over their entire organization."

"At that time, the national death penalty vote will be our trump card, which can help you do anything you want, Mom."

Hearing Lee Min-soo say that.

Min Ji-young was overjoyed.

She never expected her son to be so ambitious, having already planned to seize control of the national death penalty vote.

It's no wonder she gave birth to him.

"Min-soo, go for it! Mom will definitely support you wholeheartedly."

"No matter who it is, if they dare to hinder my progress, I will show them no mercy!"

…………

the other side.

The last few days.

Kim Jun-hyuk and his three-person team are still working intensively on the investigation of the dog-faced judge.

Through some clues and with the help of outsiders, they finally located the place where the dog-faced judge was broadcasting the death penalty vote, based on the layout of the room where the judge was during the second death penalty vote and the sound of fire trucks suddenly coming from the background.

When the three rushed there, they were surprised to find that the house was actually the home of law professor Kwon Seok-joo.

After the three men broke into Kwon Seok-joo's villa.

Act separately.

Zhou Xuan was the first to discover the traces of the live stream left by the dog-faced judge, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

"It is indeed here."

"The dog-faced judge must be connected to Kwon Seok-joo!"

Zhou Xuan muttered to himself, just about to call Kim Jun-hyuk and Kim Moo-chan together.

That's when.

A dark shadow flashed by like a ghost, and before she could react, she was struck on the head. Her vision went black, and she fainted.

Kim Moo-chan and Kim Joon-hyuk were originally searching downstairs.

Then they heard the sound of a heavy object falling down from upstairs.

"Oh no! Zhou Xuan is in danger!"

Kim Moo-chan shouted.

He rushed upstairs.

He found Zhou Xuan unconscious in one of the rooms. After checking her, he found that she had only suffered minor injuries and was otherwise fine, which relieved him.

boom!

Who knows.

The dark figure reappeared and kicked Kim Moo-chan in the back from behind.

They kicked him to the ground right there and then.

"Damn it!" Kim Moo-chan reacted immediately, got up from the ground, and rushed forward to engage in a fierce battle with the dark figure.

The shadowy figure was agile and ruthless, but Kim Moo-chan was not to be outdone.

However, because Kim Moo-chan was already injured, after a fierce battle, the shadowy figure eventually managed to escape by jumping out of the window.

"What's going on?" Kim Jun-hyuk was a civil servant and not very physically fit. By the time he rushed upstairs, the shadowy figure had already run away.

Seeing Zhou Xuan lying unconscious on the ground, his heart skipped a beat.

"It's the Dog-Faced Judge. He didn't leave. He just ambushed Zhou Xuan. I almost caught him. This guy is incredibly agile. He's definitely a trained fighter. He's probably served in the military, maybe even a special forces soldier."

Kim Moo-chan analyzed in a deep voice.

"He's a retired soldier?" Kim Jun-hyuk asked in surprise. "That explains it. Who else but a soldier could do that?"

"Chief Kim, in short, I feel that this series of events is definitely related to Kwon Seok-joo. Otherwise, why would this mysterious person be at Kwon Seok-joo's house? Why would the dog-faced judge be broadcasting live at Kwon Seok-joo's house? Let's go see him again."

Kim Moo-chan said to Kim Joon-hyuk with a serious expression.

Kim Jun-hyuk nodded: "You're right, we should go see him again. But the most important thing right now is to wake up Joo Hyun. Also, I noticed that the walls are covered with a lot of strange words, such as something like '[Thirteenth time onwards is wrong]'. I don't know if it's related to this National Death Penalty Voting Organization, or if it's their motto. Take a picture of it first, and ask Kwon Seok-joo about it later."

…………

Zhou Xuan was injured and frightened. After waking up, he was left in the hospital to recuperate by Kim Moo-chan and Kim Jun-hyuk, while the two of them set off for the prison where Kwon Seok-joo was being held.

After seeing the photo of the words on Kim Moo-chan's wall that he had taken on Kim's phone, Kwon Seok-joo pondered for a moment and slowly analyzed:

“Eight years ago, I killed the murderer who killed my daughter with a knife. At the time, I stabbed him many times. After the 13th stab, the location of the stab was different from the location of the wounds on my daughter's body, which is why this sentence was written on the wall.”

Kim Jun-hyuk then asked, "Do you have any fanatical followers around you, or people who are particularly interested in this matter?"

Kwon Seok-joo's gaze suddenly fell on Kim Moo-chan, and he said coldly, "There is someone who meets all the conditions you mentioned, and that is Kim Moo-chan. He was my good friend back then."

Upon hearing this, Kim Moo-chan's expression stiffened slightly.

I'm a little afraid to look at Kwon Seok-joo.

That incident had indeed been a source of frustration for both of them. Kwon Seok-joo was imprisoned for murder because of his daughter's death, while Kim Moo-chan, in an attempt to help Kwon Seok-joo, fabricated evidence, which backfired and resulted in his demotion.

His intentions were good.

However, it did implicate Kwon Seok-joo to some extent.

Kim Moo-chan recalled the case from eight years ago. At first, everyone thought the murderer was the son of Lee Min-soo's driver and maid.

The perpetrator had been arrested five times and released each time due to sexual harassment and mental illness.

Therefore, everyone believes that he killed Kwon Seok-joo's daughter.

However, during the trial, the defendant's lawyer presented a new piece of evidence: a toy that the child liked, which only had the fingerprints of the child and relatives on it, but not the defendant's.

Moreover, the defendant's lawyer claimed that the toy with the perpetrator's fingerprints that the police had found earlier was a fake, which made Kim Moo-chan lose face on the spot and dare not face the utterly disappointed Kwon Seok-joo.

Ultimately, the judge declared the defendant, the mentally ill boy, not guilty and released him in court.

Upon seeing this outcome, Kwon Seok-joo was filled with anger, resentment, and hatred. He believed that the mentally ill boy was the murderer of his daughter, so he planned for a long time to kill the little boy.

He was ultimately sentenced to ten years in prison.

To this day, he still doesn't know who killed his daughter.

Kim Moo-chan had suspected Lee Min-soo, but he had no evidence.

At this moment.

Kwon Seok-joo said, "I know you've been watching me and think I'm connected to the National Death Penalty Voting Organization. Yes, I admit it. I do know a lot about them, and they've told me about their plans and visions."

"So you've come to the right place. I can help you capture the Dog-Faced Judge, but I have one condition: I want a pardon."

"You didn't agree last time, what's your decision this time?"

Upon hearing this, Kim Moo-chan and Kim Joon-hyuk exchanged a glance.

They understood that if Kwon Seok-joo truly possessed crucial information, then they should indeed try their best to win him over.

With the increasing public awareness and attention surrounding the national death penalty vote, it means that the public is easily manipulated by a dog-faced judge.

They even unknowingly became hostages, accomplices, supporters, and even fanatical fans in the hands of the dog-faced judge, and were coerced by him into becoming an unimaginable and terrifying force.

Just imagine, when the dog-faced judge raises his arm and calls out, countless people will take to the streets to protest, or even vandalize, loot, and burn, to express their dissatisfaction with the authorities and brew various anti-government storms.

By then, the situation will be completely out of control!

In order to solve the case as soon as possible and minimize its impact.

Kim Joon-hyuk personally went to Lee Seung-hwan, the head of the Criminal Investigation Department 3, to apply for a pardon.

"Chief Kim, have you thought this through? If this Kwon Seok-joo really has close ties with the National Death Penalty Voting Organization, or is even a member of it, and you release him now, what if he takes the opportunity to escape? You will be the one to bear the responsibility then."

Lee Seung-hwan looked at Kim Joon-hyuk, who was standing respectfully in front of him, and gave him a calm warning.

“Minister, I understand, but I think Kwon Seok-joo is a very smart man. He knows the consequences, and I will also have people watching him 24 hours a day. Seven days, at most seven days. If he can clear his name and perform well, it's not impossible for him to be pardoned.” Kim Joon-hyuk bowed slightly and explained.

Lee Seung-hwan nodded and said, "That's good since you've made up your mind."

After saying this, he signed his name on the pardon.

Kim Jun-hyuk quickly took the pardon back to the prison, and after some approval, Kwon Seok-joo was finally granted parole.

The moment he walked out of prison.

He took a deep breath of the free air, the sunlight shining on his face, but his eyes revealed a hint of something unfathomable.
