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

Zhou Xuan got out of the car and hurried into the police station, almost running.

She glanced back; Lee Min-soo's car had already driven away, but that meaningful, eerie smile lingered in her mind like a dark cloud, impossible to shake off.

She took a deep breath, trying to calm her unease, and thought to herself, "This Lee Min-soo seems harmless, but I always feel that there is some unspeakable secret hidden in his eyes, and that smile is really creepy."

At this time, the police station was still busy, with piles of documents, officers coming and going, and phones ringing incessantly.

Zhou Xuan walked straight to Jin Wuchan's office, pushed open the door, and saw Jin Wuchan sitting at his desk, his brows furrowed, looking tired as he flipped through the documents.

"Team leader, I'm back," Zhou Xuan said, his voice still carrying a hint of lingering tension.

Kim Moo-chan looked up, his gaze falling on her, and asked, "How was it? That guy didn't do anything to you, did he?"

Zhou Xuan shook his head. "No, he brought me back safely. But I always felt something was off about him. He was extremely evil inside and gave off a very dangerous feeling."

Kim Moo-chan leaned back in his chair and rubbed his temples. "I also think this Lee Min-soo is not simple. Don't worry too much, we'll investigate him more thoroughly next. By the way, I just spoke with my superiors, and they still insist on closing the case as soon as possible. It's really giving me a headache."

Zhou Xuan frowned, his face full of resentment, and said, "How can this be? We all know that the real Dog-Faced Judges organization is still in the shadows. If we close the case like this, aren't we just letting them continue to do evil? Why are those superiors only thinking about protecting their own positions and not caring about the safety of the people?"

Kim Moo-chan sighed helplessly, "They're just afraid that things will escalate and affect their careers. They don't care about us who are risking our lives on the front lines. I plan to go and talk to Kim Joon-hyuk again to see if we can delay things a little longer."

On the other side, Lee Min-soo drove away from the police station, his face still bearing that eerie smile, humming an unknown tune softly, as if everything that had just happened made him feel incredibly happy.

The car sped along the road, heading towards the prison where Quan Xizhu was being held.

Kwon Seok-joo sat in his cell, staring blankly at the sky outside the window, his thoughts drifting back to the past.

Suddenly, a prison guard's voice broke his reverie, "Kwon Seok-joo, someone's here to see you."

Kwon Seok-joo was taken aback. Who would be coming to see him at this time?

Could it be a professor who is a partner in his organization?

But when he entered the interview room, he saw Lee Min-soo instead.

At this moment, memories of the past come flooding back like a tide.

Eight years ago, Li Minxiu had not yet changed her name and was called Li Yincheng.

At the time, Kwon Seok-joo was a renowned law professor. In a debate with Lee Min-soo's mother, Congresswoman Min Ji-young, Kwon Seok-joo's extensive legal knowledge and sharp criticism of current laws won the approval of most of the audience. Min Ji-young's son, Lee Yoon-sung, also admired him greatly.

After the event, Min Ji-young brought her son to see Kwon Seok-joo and asked for his autograph. Kwon Seok-joo was impressed that his son, despite his young age, could understand his somewhat profound book.

After learning that he had just undergone major heart surgery, I was moved by his perseverance and spirit, and allowed him to attend my classes whenever he had time, so that we could discuss any questions he might have with me after class.

And so the two became acquainted, and their families were neighbors.

Lee Yoon-sung often saw Kwon Seok-joo and Luna interacting intimately from upstairs. Perhaps due to a lack of fatherly love, Lee Yoon-sung developed feelings of jealousy.

Luna had a puppy. One day, Li Yincheng took the puppy out after visiting the Quan family. However, he did not know that the housekeeper's son, Bian Yuze, secretly buried the dog alive.

Bian Yuze has been intellectually disabled since childhood. Thanks to the care and support of Min Zhiying's family, he also became Li Yincheng's playmate.

When Kwon Seok-joo returned home and heard his daughter mention the puppy, he went to Min Ji-young's house to ask Lee Yoon-sung about it. However, Lee Yoon-sung denied taking the puppy and told Kwon Seok-joo to check the surveillance footage. However, the surveillance footage at Kwon Seok-joo's house was broken, and he suspected that Lee Yoon-sung was lying to him.

At this moment, Min Ji-young and her husband returned and helped their son out of the predicament, leaving Kwon Seok-joo with no choice but to leave in a huff.

Min Ji-young's husband discovered the truth and found the puppy buried in his garden. Enraged, he berated Lee Yoon-sung, calling him a cruel devil and asking how many pets he had killed.

Then he scolded his wife for not knowing how to raise children, for raising such a monster, and then slammed the door and left.

Lee Min-soo's father, a powerful chaebol, had a bunch of mistresses and concubines who bore him children.

As for Li Minxiu's eldest son, who was frail and sickly, he was not only vicious and gloomy, but also frequently abused and killed animals, so he naturally disliked him and basically abandoned this son.

This is also why Lee Min-soo admired Kwon Seok-joo so much back then.

He never received fatherly love growing up, so he regarded Kwon Seok-joo as a father figure. However, his cruel and gloomy personality was so domineering that he even regarded Kwon Seok-joo's own daughter as an obstacle.

As a mother, Min Ji-young only doted on Lee Min-soo, pushing all the responsibility onto the foolish servant Byun Woo-taek, and even said that Byun Woo-taek should protect Lee Yoon-sung in the future.

Not long after, Li Yincheng came to see Bian Yuze, who had been beaten, and comforted him while saying that he would punish the little girl who had complained.

So, under his plan, Bian Yuze tricked Luna away from school by pretending to be a puppy. After being missing for four or five days, the police finally got a clue about Luna, but she had already been tortured to death and had been stabbed more than twenty times.

At the time, Kim Moo-chan was Kwon Seok-joo's number one follower, and he happened to be in charge of investigating the matter. In such cases of child abuse, relatives are the first to be suspected.

Kwon Seok-joo watched helplessly as his daughter died, and was then suspected of being the murderer. He was extremely saddened and became utterly disillusioned with the law, even contemplating suicide. It took Kim Moo-chan a lot of persuasion to change his mind.

Back home, Kwon Seok-joo provided crucial evidence—a clue about the doll—which Kim Moo-chan wanted to exploit.

Kim Moo-chan found a clue from the dashcam footage of an elderly woman on a bicycle. Luna was taken away by Byun Woo-taek after school, so he made an excuse to take her back to the police station for investigation. Because Byun Woo-taek was mentally disabled, Kim Moo-chan deduced that he must have accomplices assisting him, and Lee Yoon-sung came into his sights.

Moreover, when Luna's body was taken away, Kim Moo-chan saw him with a sinister smile, and it was also the clue that Luna's body was discovered that led to this. All the suspicions pointed to Lee Yoon-sung, but no evidence could be found.

Byun Woo-taek was charged in court as a suspect. Min Ji-young's lawyer easily overturned the prosecution's charges by arguing that no fingerprints of the murderer were found on another doll. Byun Woo-taek was released in court, and Kim Moo-chan was helpless.

Because Kim Moo-chan had tortured Byun Woo-taek to extract a confession, even though Byun Woo-taek confessed that Lee Yoon-sung was his accomplice, Lee Yoon-sung ultimately escaped justice. Kim Moo-chan did not tell Kwon Seok-joo about this.

Kwon Seok-joo wanted to apologize to Byun Woo-taek, but he discovered that Byun Woo-taek's phone contained a recording of his daughter, which proved that he was the real murderer of his daughter. In a fit of rage, Kwon Seok-joo stabbed Byun Woo-taek to death on a rainy night. Although he avenged his daughter, he was also imprisoned for it...

Back to the present.

When Lee Min-soo saw Kwon Seok-joo, a fervent smile immediately spread across his face. He excitedly asked, "Teacher, how have you been all these years? Why didn't you reply to all the letters I sent you?"

Kwon Seok-joo remained expressionless and coldly replied, "I have never received a letter."

Lee Min-soo's face instantly darkened, a hint of madness flashing in his eyes. He shouted, "You're lying! I am your number one follower. I admire and love you so much. Why don't you love me the way you love Luna? Besides, if you had read the first letter I sent you, you would know what I said in it, wouldn't you?"

A murderous glint flashed in Kwon Seok-joo's eyes. His hands clenched into fists under the table, veins bulging. He suppressed his anger and tried to speak calmly: "Lee Min-soo, you are not my best student. On the contrary, you are the worst and most disobedient. You studied law with me not to serve the people, but for your own dark and evil heart, right?"

"You're talking nonsense!" Lee Min-soo stood up angrily, slamming her hands heavily on the table. Her eyes widened as she glared fiercely at Kwon Seok-joo. "Everything I've done is to carry out your will. Those who escape legal punishment should be punished. I'm the one who understands you the most!"

Kwon Seok-joo looked at him with disgust and coldly replied, "You're just making excuses for your dark, cruel, and bloodthirsty heart. You madman, do you think you can gain my approval like this? You're wrong. You'll always be just a pathetic worm dominated by evil and darkness!"

Driven even more insane by Kwon Seok-joo's anger, Lee Min-soo took a step back, his smile growing increasingly sinister. "Teacher, you will see. I will prove to you that everything I did was right. I will make this organization stronger and try more people. Then you will know that I am the best."

Kwon Seok-joo's words severely provoked Lee Min-soo, who stood up angrily to refute them, then turned and left.

Before leaving, he told Kwon Seok-joo that he would definitely prove it to him.

As he watched Lee Min-soo leave, Kwon Seok-joo could no longer maintain his composure, his face filled with hatred and murderous intent.

Looking back on his journey to organize a national referendum on the death penalty, it was actually Lee Min-soo's letter that provoked him. In the letter, Lee Min-soo confessed to killing Luna simply because he found her an eyesore and because she informed on him about the puppy.

When Kwon Seok-joo learned the truth back then, he almost went crazy. He never expected that the real murderer was Lee Min-soo, this little beast who seemed to respect him so much on the surface but was actually so evil inside!

He had kept this secret in his heart all these years, hoping to one day personally eliminate this beast, provided that he could be released from prison early. The previous death penalty referendums were his way of testing the waters, looking for a suitable opportunity to escape from prison.

Kim Moo-chan always thought he didn't know that Lee Min-soo was the real murderer, but in fact, Kwon Seok-joo was pretending to be stupid. He had actually asked Kim Moo-chan once before, but he still didn't answer.

This shows that Kim Moo-chan and he are no longer on the same path.

However, to his surprise, at this critical moment, Lee Min-soo came to him in person and even threatened him with words.

This indicates that he has learned the identity of Kwon Seok-joo as the founder of the National Death Penalty Voting Organization, and that he wants to be like him, a dog-faced judge who judges innocent demons, even though he himself is the biggest innocent demon.

This also means that this little beast has most likely infiltrated the organization, which makes Quan Xizhu feel that time is running out and he must speed up his pace!

Two days later.

Inside a mysterious base, dim lights flickered as five people wearing dog-face masks sat around a table.

Dog Face Number One said in a low voice, "We need to speed things up. Six months ago, the prisoners got a new perk: they can drink bottled mineral water and take nutritional tablets. We can start with that and poison a large number of the most heinous criminals in one go. What do you all think?"

At this moment, one of the dog-faced judges raised a question, his tone filled with dissatisfaction: "Number One, it's always just the few of us doing the work. The task allocation is too unfair. Besides, Number Four has already been arrested. Will he reveal all the secrets of our organization?"

“The risks we’re taking are getting bigger and bigger. Why hasn’t the boss shown up yet? Also, we need to settle the issue of compensation. We’re risking our lives to uphold justice, but we can’t keep living a miserable life like before, can we?”

As soon as these words came out.

Another judge with a dog-like face immediately retorted angrily, "Damn it, Number Five, didn't we sign an agreement before? We didn't know each other's identities, so why would Number Four betray us?"

"When we joined the organization, we were all fighting for a common ideal. Now you're bringing up money. After each mission, did you get less money than you deserved? I think you're getting more and more greedy and demanding. Someone like you is no longer suitable to be our comrade. If you don't want to do it, then quit!"

Upon hearing this, Number Five said with a wronged tone, "Hey, can't I even offer some suggestions? We do the work, we take the risks, and you just want to sit back and reap the rewards, right? If that's how it is, then let's break up!"

They started arguing.

Dog Number One waved his hand. "Alright, stop arguing. Our goal is to try those who have escaped legal punishment. This is our shared belief. The revolution is not yet complete. Everyone, stop making a scene. What Number Five said is not without reason."

"Here's what we'll do: everyone's pay for missions will be doubled from now on, and there will be many other tangible benefits. If anything happens to any of you, a large sum of compensation and subsidies will be sent to your families."

"Our organization is constantly expanding, and everyone's safety will be better guaranteed."

"In addition, we plan to rescue Number Four. Please rest assured that the organization will never abandon any comrade. Alright, meeting adjourned now."

"Everything will proceed according to plan from now on."

After the meeting.

Everyone got up and left.

One of the dog-faced judges, after leaving the base, got into the car, removed his mask, revealing Lee Min-soo's pale, evil, and deranged face.

He sat in the driver's seat, looking at himself in the mirror, and let out a sinister laugh. "Teacher, just you wait and see. I'll show you my power. I am the future of this organization. Those prisoners are just the first step on my path to success..."
