Korean TV series: King of Peninsula 1997

Chapter 323: Suppressing Others
"Kim Yoon-jeong's kidnapping case solved!"

"The criminal Yin killed her boyfriend Xu who persuaded her to surrender!"

"Star prosecutor Park Tae-soo has made another great achievement. The prosecution will handle cases that the police cannot solve!"

At the Southern District Prosecutors Office in Seoul, Cho Chang-sik put down his newspaper and smiled with satisfaction, praising Park Tae-soo in front of him, "Our Minister Park is really amazing. He solved another major case and took another step towards the position of deputy minister."

"You're joking," Park Tae-soo laughed softly, "You know the reason, but I'm not that powerful."

"You don't really need to be able to solve cases this well these days," Zhao Changzhi waved his hand, "Having a noble person's support is better than solving a hundred cases."

“That’s what the prosecutor said,” Park Tae-soo said with a big smile.

"We're going to have dinner with Chairman Lee later, so you have to be more proactive," Cho Chang-sik intended to continue to build a closer relationship with Lee Woo through Park Tae-soo.

"Yes," Park Tae-soo looked around and said solemnly, "Prosecutor, there is something Chairman Lee wants me to tell you in advance."

Zhao Changzhi looked at Park Tae-soo with some surprise, then nodded, "Since this is what Chairman Li wants to tell me, just tell me."

"Chairman Li is ready to take action against Chief Prosecutor Han."

"Chief Prosecutor Han" Cho Chang-sik thought for a moment, "Chief Prosecutor Han Yi-jin of the Northern District Prosecutors Office?"

He was very surprised. After all, Han Yijin was at the same level as him. Of course, this was also because Zhao Changzhi was demoted, but it was a shame to attack a prosecutor who controlled the northern district prosecutor's office.
“Wouldn’t this be a bit risky?”

"I don't know, Chief Prosecutor," Park Tae-soo was also somewhat helpless, "Chairman Li only notified me, and has not yet explained the details to me."

"He just briefly mentioned that he might get his hands on Han Yijin's son Han Shikui, but he didn't tell me the reason why he was going to take action against Han Yijin."

"It could be that Han Yijin, or someone around him, has offended Chairman Li," Zhao Changzhi nodded. "But since Chairman Li mentioned Han Shikui, check if he has a criminal record. Bring him along when you meet Chairman Li tonight, and we'll talk about it in detail."

The atmosphere in the Wide Area Investigation Team's office was completely different from that of the Southern District Prosecutors' Office. Ahn Ji-soo called his protector Kim Fan-joo with a worried look on his face.

"Director Li Caihan has asked for leave."

"Ask for leave?" Jin Fanzhou frowned. "He came in person?"

"No," An Zhishou sighed, "It's someone from the Kinmen Group."

Jin Fanzhou was no longer calm. He stood up from his desk and asked, "Are you sure?"

"Sure," An Zhishou said confidently, "I've seen the Kinmen's unique emblem before, and they have no intention of hiding their whereabouts."

"."

Jin Fanzhou was silent for a while, feeling that things were not going well, which put Li Caihan in Li You's hands.
With Li You's methods, after he has controlled Li Caihan, if he wants to take action against him, as well as Councillor Zhang and Prosecutor Han behind him, they will all suffer heavy losses.

"I understand," Jin Fanzhou nodded, "I will discuss it with the congressman and ask him to see what is the most appropriate way to do it."

It is approaching winter in Seoul and it gets dark early.

On the busy streets, people are hurrying on their way to various occasions.

Zhao Changzhi and Park Tae-soo walked into a restaurant reserved by Li Youding, one after the other.

The restaurant was very private. The two of them moved quickly in the corridor. The door opened slightly, and warm light came in. They walked into the designated private room.

Although it is a restaurant that combines traditional and modern styles, the decoration behind the classic wooden door is quite luxurious.

When they arrived at the box, Li You was already sitting there. He came quite early this time mainly because he had nothing to do.

"Chairman Li!" Zhao Changzhi stepped forward with a smile that was mixed with professional courtesy and flattery. His suit was spotless and it was obvious that he attached great importance to the opportunity to have dinner together.

There was a subtle shrewdness in his eyes. "Long time no see, President Li."

"Prosecutor Zhao," when Zhao Changzhi and Park Tae-soo approached, Li You looked at them and smiled, shaking hands and greeting them one by one.

Li You's smile was particularly bright under the light. "The dishes are almost ready. Let's eat first."

He smiled and pressed his hand, motioning for the two to sit down quickly. The three of them sat around an exquisite lacquered wooden square table, which was filled with delicious dishes with alluring luster.

The sound of the wine glasses clinking together was so clear and pleasant that it masked Park Tae-soo's tense heartbeat. Although he didn't know when Li You was going to speak, he was still looking forward to it.
That's the position of Deputy Attorney General, and above that is Attorney General, so of course he wants to climb up.

The conversation at the table still revolved around the meal in a relaxed and clever manner, without any deliberate relaxation. They occasionally talked about business, but they quickly changed the subject.

Li You picked up the dish gently, and the heavy chopsticks drew an arc in the air and fell into the white porcelain bowl.

Zhao Changzhi stood up with a smile and poured a glass of wine for Li You himself. The mellow wine swirled into an amber vortex in the glass.

"Chairman Li," he raised his glass towards Li You, "I heard from Tae Soo that you are going to help him get the position of deputy minister?"

Zhao Changzhi didn't mention the matter of dealing with Han Yijin, but Li You still took the initiative to bring it up, "If Han Yijin is removed, won't it be possible to let a newcomer take over?"

"What are you going to do?" Zhao Changzhi was a little confused. "Dealing with a prosecutor is not something that ordinary methods can do."

Li You raised his eyebrows, "You should know what Han Shikui did before?"

"Got it," Park Tae-soo nodded, opened the briefcase he brought, and took out a document. "In the 1995 robbery case, the detective in charge of the investigation was Lee Jae-han. The prosecutor who filed the case happened to be the Northern District Prosecutor's Office, and the sentence given to Han Se-kyu was very light."

He flipped through the documents and said, "He was released from prison the year before last and has been living a very low profile recently."

"That's perfect," Li You clapped his hands with a smile, "Detective Li Caihan is here with me. Let him tell you the truth of the matter."

"Lee Jae-han"

Zhao Changzhi and Park Tae-soo turned around and saw Lee Jae-han who walked in after hearing the clapping. They were a little surprised, "Chairman Lee, you must have taken the trouble to even call Detective Lee Jae-han here."

"Not really," Li You said with a smile. He looked at the somewhat reserved Li Caihan and signaled him to speak. "Detective Li, please tell me the truth of this case."

Li Caihan swallowed his saliva and said, "Although this case is nominally called a grand theft case, there is actually a more important case behind it, but it was covered up by the prosecutor named Han."

"There is a more important case," Zhao Changzhi raised his eyebrows, "What case?"

"At the beginning, they forged evidence and framed a man named Wu Jingtai," Li Caihan was pulled by Li You and sat on the empty chair. "After he was wrongly imprisoned, I felt something was wrong. So I talked to him."

"I found clues, discovered stolen goods, and then arrested Han Shikui, the son of Chief Prosecutor Han, and confirmed that he was the real criminal."

Li Caihan skipped over how he found the clues and stolen goods. After all, he couldn't say that it was the people from the future who gave him the hints.

"After the case was over, I counted the stolen goods," Li Caihan frowned, "and found that a blue diamond necklace was missing." "So I went to Han Shikui to confirm, but he refused to tell me."

"Later, I saw from the jewelry store's surveillance that there was a hard drive in the box of the sapphire necklace, and I also found out that the criminal who sold the stolen goods was a woman named Shin Da-hui."

"But when I found her home, I heard from her neighbors that she was dead."

"Shin Da-hye?" Park Tae-soo raised his eyebrows. "She's a little celebrity? Someone took her hard drive?"

"Yes," Li Caihan was a little surprised. He didn't expect Park Tae-soo to know him. "But the hard drive was intercepted in 95."

He couldn't say much about the future.

Park Hae-young in the future told him that the hard drive was intercepted by Kim Fan-joo, and the contents about Congressman Jang Young-chul and Prosecutor Han Yi-jin were deleted from it, because Han Yi-jin's family ran a real estate company and was involved in the Jinyang New City fraud case.

"Although I have captured Han Shikui, it is not within my power to charge him with any crime."

"That's the fraud case and the murder case," Park Tae-soo stroked his chin, "but there's no evidence."

He looked at Li You, "President Nim, do you have any solution?"

"There's one more thing," Li You smiled, "Detective Li hasn't finished yet."

Li Caihan was stunned for a moment, then continued, "I was attacked by a policeman at the Sunil Mental Hospital where Seo Hyungjun's body was found a few days ago."

"Attacked by the police?" Zhao Changzhi looked over with interest. "Your colleague?"

"He is not my colleague," Li Caihan shook his head, "He was sent by Councillor Zhang Yingzhe to kill me."

Zhao Changzhi keenly sensed something was wrong. "You solved the robbery case in 1995 and discovered the conspiracy between them, but why did they send someone to kill you now?"

Li Caihan was in a daze for a few seconds, "I don't know."

"Is there a possibility," Li You looked at Li Caihan, "that your recent actions triggered them?"

He said calmly, "Even the police were sent to kill you. You must have an informant around you. Maybe this informant has been monitoring you. When they found that you did something wrong, they sent someone to take action."

"Who follows you most often, or who can always keep track of your whereabouts."

Li Caihan lowered his head and thought for a while, then hesitated and said, "Team Leader An Zhishou."

"Let's start with the policeman who tried to kill you and the security team leader," Li You patted Park Tae-soo's shoulder with a smile, "Catch them first. Those who use them to do things will naturally be impatient."

Park Tae-soo nodded seriously, "I understand, President-nim."

The sunlight shines through the glass windows, illuminating the corridor of the Seoul Wide Area Search Team brightly and calmly, and also reflects into the office of the Seoul Wide Area Search Team.

Heavy footsteps echoed on the marble floor. Park Tae-soo, wearing a dark suit, led the way, followed by several prosecutors and investigators.

Without any hesitation, they walked straight to the office of An Zhishou, the head of the serious crime team.

The upright prosecutors walked directly into An Zhishou's office, which was filled with files and documents of various cases.

As the office door was pushed open, the sudden noise broke the silence in the room. An Zhishou looked up and shifted his gaze from the documents in his hands to these uninvited guests to him.

There was no panic on his face, only a hint of barely perceptible nervousness.

The air seemed to freeze. The prosecutors stood on both sides. Park Tae-soo, the leader, began to question. His voice was cold and formal, leaving no room for doubt.

"Team Leader An Zhishou," Park Tae-soo threw a photo on his desk, "Do you know this person?"

An Zhishou didn't recognize him. After all, he didn't send this person. He subconsciously guessed Park Tae-soo's identity. He frowned and looked at Park Tae-soo, "You are..."

He took a look and recognized her, "It's Prosecutor Park who solved the Kim Yoon-jeong case."

"What are you"

Park Tae-soo glanced at the window. Through the half-open window, he could see the busy streets outside and the pedestrians hurrying past.

"I won't keep you in suspense," Park Tae-soo smiled, "This man tried to murder your detective Li Caihan. I need your cooperation in the investigation."

"What?" An Zhishou was a little panicked, and his face gradually became solemn.

His eyes moved between the prosecutors, but he couldn't find any flaws.

"There's more than that," Park Tae-soo waved his hand, and the prosecutors under him produced a stack of photos.

The photos brought by the prosecutors were spread out on the table one by one. With each additional photo, An Zhishou's brows furrowed more.

It was a full-length photo of the man, and his various identification documents, including his police ID, were all photographed for evidence.

"Not only did he want to kill Detective Li Caihan, but more importantly, he was a policeman."

"If this matter were exposed, the impact would be quite large," Park Tae-soo stepped aside to make way, "and the attack took place at the Sunil Mental Hospital where Seo Hyung-jun's body was found. Fortunately, I arrived in time and happened to witness this incident."

Prosecutors can intervene in any aspect of Korean society. Although prosecutors are sometimes too busy to handle ordinary criminal cases and will transfer the power of investigation to the police, the police have no right to intervene in cases such as official corruption, internal crimes, and economic crimes.

The prosecutor will not hand such matters over to others and will basically solve them independently.

An Zhishou did not refute, but just forced a smile, "Prosecutor Park, I am willing to cooperate with the work."

"That's great," Park Tae-soo waved his hand, and two investigators went up and walked side by side with An Zhishou. Although they didn't carry him, their posture made it clear that they had already regarded him as a suspect.

"What are you doing?" After they left the house, they bumped into a female police officer under An Zhishou. She glared at the prosecutor in front of her and asked, "Why are you taking our team leader away?"

"Detective Cha," Park Tae-soo glanced coldly at the name on the ID hanging around the neck of the short-haired policewoman, "The prosecutor doesn't need to explain what he does to you."

The status of prosecutors in South Korea is too high. The attitude of the policewoman in front of him was actually offensive and disrespectful.

"you"

"You go back first," An Zhishou forced a smile and persuaded her, "I'm just going to cooperate with the investigation, it's not a big deal."

He waved his hands and pretended to be relaxed, but in his heart he actually felt that he might be in trouble this time.

Looking at the backs of the group of people, Che Xiuxian frowned, not understanding what was going on.

First, his senior Li Caihan took a long vacation for no reason, and now Team Leader An Zhishou was taken away by the prosecutor. How can the serious crime team continue to work?
