The Uncrowned King of the Peninsula

Chapter 101 Human Feelings
In front of the Nambu District Prosecutor's Office, Seocho-gu, Seoul
"The truth! The truth!"

"No one of the real culprits can be left behind!"

At the entrance to the District Procuratorate, a crowd surged, holding large banners with the portraits of Zico and his four companions, each with a red cross. Surrounding them were several black portraits with question marks on them.

Crowds of people have been gathering here since morning, but there aren't that many people, just three thin rows standing there, which looks a bit thin in the cold winter wind.

However, soon after Hanjiang Sports released its in-depth report at 10 o'clock, people began to flock in before lunch time.

"The truth! The truth! We must investigate this case thoroughly! No one should be left behind!"

Three rows, four rows, five rows, the excited crowd gathered, more and more, and could no longer form neat lines. They huddled together and crowded at the door of the District Procuratorate.

In addition to the demonstrators, reporters gradually arrived and pointed their cameras at the door of the Procuratorate.

In the conference room of the District Procuratorate, the venue for the award ceremony had been hastily set up.

The long red table was covered with velvet cloth, with a crystal trophy placed in the middle. The publicity class had set up cameras, and there were a few flower baskets behind it. It looked quite decent.

Below the stage, several prosecutors gathered together and were talking.

The shouts of the crowd outside the window grew louder and louder. A prosecutor frowned, walked to the window, lifted the curtain, and glanced at the crowd outside. "How many people are there?"

"There are already more than 700 people, and people are still arriving." someone answered.

"Why so many? It's only been two hours. By nightfall, there will probably be thousands of people." The prosecutor took a deep breath. "We're not going to be working overtime here all night, are we?"

Just as I looked at it, another taxi stopped nearby, and two girls who looked like middle school students ran out and merged into the crowd.

More and more people gathered at the door of the District Procuratorate, which seemed to be a pressure that could not be underestimated even for the prosecutors.

Everyone was prepared, but no one expected so many people to gather so quickly.

Although the Zico case is not a multiple crime, there are so many people involved and it is a cyber crime, so it is hard to say whether all the people involved can be arrested.

The more people pay attention to it, the greater the pressure on everyone. If the case cannot be concluded perfectly in the end, it will inevitably become the target of public criticism.

Therefore, everyone who received the hot potato inevitably became anxious and looked at Zheng Taihao.

"Don't worry, everyone. It's a good thing that you pay more attention to us. Once the case is solved, it will be a great achievement." Zheng Taihao laughed.

"Editor-in-Chief Pei is already here. By rewarding him, everyone will calm down."

But some people didn't give him that much face.

"The case has been solved? Is Chief Zheng so confident? If something goes wrong, how will you explain it?" Another prosecutor standing opposite him interrupted him.

"Hey, Chief Li, what do you mean?" Zheng Taihao retorted, "They're just a few daring celebrities, not hardened criminals. Can't we crack them?"

"What do I mean? Chief Zheng, I'd say you're a bit too trusting of your junior fellow," Chief Li said sarcastically. "And you even asked him to come over? If he hadn't released some news, would there be so many people here?"

"Don't I know what kind of people these reporters are? I'm afraid it won't be any use, and the matter will only get worse! It will be embarrassing for everyone."

Pei Yongjun's report did put the Procuratorate in a passive position to some extent, which is why some people insisted on protecting Zhu Xianying to the end last night.

To a certain extent, reporters holding cameras are indeed the people prosecutors hate the most.

"This time, the Chief of Investigation is personally appointed by the Chief Prosecutor. If anything goes wrong, or if something attacks the Prosecutor's Office..."

Zheng Taihao's face looked a little ugly.

Yesterday he was only concerned with sending Zhu Xianying away quickly, but did not think carefully about it. The huge crowd outside the door today made him feel a little uneasy.

He is not young anymore and needs to seize the opportunity to move up. Prosecutor Jin Yinghao is the person he wants to win over, so he must not mess things up.

Don't let yourself be caught in a dilemma anymore, okay?

He felt a little anxious and couldn't help but look at the phone in his hand again. At this moment, he heard a familiar voice coming from the door.

"What could happen?" Prosecutor Jin Yinghao stood at the door.

"You are not the head of the investigation department, why are you arguing here?" He walked into the meeting room and glanced at everyone.

"Attorney General, I'm sorry."

"excuse me."

Everyone apologized.

"Prosecutor General, I will ask Bae Yong-jun again. He should be here soon." Zheng Taihao said.

"No need to ask." Jin Yinghao waved his hand.

"Mo?" Zheng Taihao was stunned.

"He's outside." Jin Yinghao pointed out the window.

Everyone was stunned. Zheng Taihao hurried to the window and opened the blinds. Only then did he find a familiar figure standing at the door, facing the excited crowd.

Looking closely, it was Pei Yongjun.

"Yongjun?!" He was shocked and his face turned pale.

He never expected that Pei Yongjun would rush directly to the front of the crowd.

"Yes, that's him." Jin Yinghao nodded, a smile on his face, "He's quite courageous."

------

Pei Yongjun looked at the excited crowd in front of him and stopped.

"The truth! The truth!" Hundreds of people gathered together and shouted in unison. The sound was quite shocking, making people's heads buzz.

"Please come out and say a few words!"

“Did the Procuratorate fail in its duty?”

The District Procuratorate's delay in responding has only fueled people's anger.

"Please calm down, everyone!"

"please calm!"

"The number of people has exceeded the application limit. Please leave as soon as possible! Please leave as soon as possible!"

All the guards at the door of the District Procuratorate have been dispatched, but the human wall of more than a dozen people seems so fragile in the face of the surging crowd, swaying like a small boat hit by huge waves. No one listens to their shouts of hope to disperse the crowd.

Pei Yongjun stood quietly with a handsome figure.

Gradually, some people in the crowd of demonstrators noticed the strange man in front of them. After taking a closer look, they found that he seemed familiar.

"Oh, isn't that reporter Pei Yongjun?" Someone with a sharp eye recognized him. "Reporter Pei is here!"

"Reporter Pei?" Some people still didn't know what was going on.

"That's the reporter who reported this news! Bae Yong-jun! The one who was on KBS yesterday!"

"Ah? It's him!"

Pei Yongjun stood behind the guards, facing the crowd, and the sound waves came towards him like a surging tide.
