Chapter 25, Looking for a Savior(1/2)
Looking at the first case given to him by Prosecutor Wu, Lin Zhexun felt a sense of mission.
Although I was a lawyer in my previous life, I often faced prosecutors at a distance in court. However, when I took the position of prosecutor, the sense of initiative brought by the position was completely different from the passive feeling of lawyers facing prosecutors.

Lottery fraud?
In an event in Senho-dong, Kodong-gu, where scratch cards were used as a lottery method to win prizes, a winner called the police to report that the organizer of the event did not honor the prize. After the police arrived at the scene, the organizer of the event accused the person who claimed the prize of forging the lottery ticket.
interesting.
Lin Zhexun opened the file and read it carefully.
The reporter, the winner, is Ahn Sil-wan, a migrant worker in Seoul. He participated in the lottery with a first prize worth 100 million yuan in Cheonho-dong, Gangdong-gu. The organizer of the event also wanted to express his sincerity.
Fair and just. We specially purchased a batch of scratch cards specially used for lottery draws as prize tickets from Lotto, the largest lottery company in South Korea.
In short, just buy scratch cards and wait for the lottery machine on the platform to randomly draw the prizes.
This event has been held for a long time. An Shiwan, who bought the scratch card that day, found out that he had really won 100 million. He was ready to follow the rules and claim his prize the next day.
However, when I came to redeem it the next day, the staff said that the lottery ticket was fake. Jin Shunjae, the main person in charge of the lottery event, announced that the grand prize was invalid.
Lottery winner Ahn Sil-wan found out that his 100 million won had been voided, so he was naturally unhappy. He went to the person in charge, Kim Soon-jae, to reason. Kim Soon-jae threatened him to shut up and get out, or he would call the police directly.
But An Shiwan said that he really didn't lie, so he simply called the police himself and asked the police to intervene.
The police looked at the preliminary case and the lottery tickets they had collected. They found that there were indeed two identical winning lottery tickets, and one of them had already cashed in the grand prize quickly. Someone was indeed committing lottery fraud.
Therefore, the police submitted the case to the Third Criminal Division of the Eastern District Prosecutor's Office directly under the jurisdiction, applied for the power to investigate and file the case, and asked the prosecutor to personally investigate this suspected lottery fraud case.
Many people may be confused, shouldn't this kind of investigative power belong to the police? After all, it is normal to call the police, report the police and then let the police investigate.
But...this is Korea.
In South Korea, for general cases such as homicide, robbery, fraud, etc., after the prosecutor directly accepts the report and accusation, the prosecutor will conduct a preliminary investigation when he thinks it is necessary. The case will be handed over to the police agency for investigation, and the police will be directed to conduct the investigation.
For cases of serious nature and huge losses, such as official corruption, economic crimes, organized crime, environmental pollution, judicial malpractice for personal gains, etc., prosecutors can directly conduct investigations. And in accordance with the provisions of the Korean Criminal Procedure Code, prosecutors’ investigations
The right involves all areas of investigation.
This case involves economic crimes or may be related to lottery companies. Naturally, prosecutors need to investigate directly themselves, and the police cooperate with prosecutors in investigating the case.
Relying on the memory of Lin Zhexun before and his own experience as a lawyer in China, while making notes and attention points on the case, he thought about which aspect he should start from.
Time passed quite quickly, and he had been immersed in his two lives of experience and immersed in the case. Until he felt the vibration of the phone on the table.
Another number I've never seen before.
"Is it better to be better than better?"
"it's me"
"Oh, I haven't seen your mobile phone number before. It turns out to be your agent's. What's wrong?" Lin Zhexun reacted quickly when he heard the other party's voice. After all, he had met this person the most times in the past two days.
of.
Lin Zhexun sneered, leaned back on the seat, and teased his landlady: "What? It's only been a few days, and I haven't had time to talk to her yet. Isn't this the end of the year? She's very busy.
You may not know that she has a bad temper when she is tired. So for the sake of success, I need to find a free time to chat with her."
"When will I prepare for New Year's Day? Usually there is no announcement after New Year's Day."
"Why are you yelling so loudly?!!! I'm still at work."
"Anyway, you just need to endure it for a while, then treat it as a training exercise."
"Okay, this is it for now. My boss is calling me. I'm hanging up."
Lin Zhexun hurriedly hung up the phone and rubbed his ears. This Li Zhien was indeed a singer, his voice was quite loud, and his ears almost exploded.
The female affairs officers in the same office and Prosecutor Wu's female assistant saw that Lin Zhexun finally had a free moment, and immediately rushed over: "Prosecutor Lin nim, we like your girlfriend's songs very much. Could you please help me?"
Want an autograph?"
This made Lin Zhexun, who had just dealt with his "girlfriend's" anger, a bit embarrassed.
"Ah, yes, yes, I can give it to you now." Lin Zhexun fumbled in his briefcase and produced two autographed photos of Li Zhien.
"Thank you prosecutor nim." Two female colleagues in their 20s looked at Li Zhien's autographed photo with excitement and thanked her.
He handed the signed photo of his "cute" "girlfriend" to the two of them, and by the way: "You like her very much?"
"Ah..." The two looked at each other awkwardly.
"I am...VIP"
"I am ELF"
"ah?"
"We are fans of other groups, but we are too busy." However, thinking that he was also a civil servant after all, he immediately defended himself: "Actually, we usually just listen to music and then take the time to buy an album."
"That you......"
"We are not fans of IUxi, we just know her. But after all, it is still very difficult for us to get an autograph from a celebrity. But now we are the first to get it."
"Oh, then you need me to help you..."
"No, no, no, no," the two people interrupted quickly: "We already have the signatures of our favorite idols. Anyway, thank you. You can continue your work."
"Oh, that's okay." Lin Zhexun looked at the two people bowing and felt a little confused. What the hell are VIP and ELF?
Important customer? Goblin?
What a mess of a name.
But... this guy Li Zhien seems to have unknowingly helped him get closer to his colleagues in the same office.
Considering this, why don't you help her yourself? But how to help her?
...
"Jieun, will you be participating in the pre-recording or the live broadcast later?" In the MC dressing room of "Inkigayo", Goo Hara of the girl group KARA closed her eyes and signaled to her makeup artist to start perming her eyelashes.
"It's pre-recorded. Don't we still have to host?" Li Zhien watched Goo Hara's makeup artist put a lighter under the cotton swab. After lighting it up, he used the outer flame of the lighter to heat the wooden stick of the cotton swab.
On the other side, Zheng Nicole, who also belongs to Kara with Goo Hara, said while playing with her mobile phone: "There are a lot of people pre-recording today. Who is your number?"
"the fourth"
The makeup artist gently blew out the wooden stick and then slowly approached Goo Hara's eyes. After waiting for a few seconds, she pressed the cotton swab to the root of the eyelashes and gently pushed upwards.
"Zhien, is your boyfriend real?" Zheng Nicole, a member of KARA and one of the three MCs sitting nearby, suddenly thought of something and put down her phone and asked.
Goo Hara was shocked, and was almost frightened to death by her teammate's stupid question. Fortunately, her makeup artist reacted quickly and moved the hot wooden stick away from Goo Hara, almost burning Goo Hara's eyelids. But Goo Hara herself was
A careless girl didn't care about these things, but quickly winked at Zheng Nicole to shut up.
Not only Goo Hara, but also Lee Ji-eun was asked this question.
Although public opinion is hyping up, Lin Zhexun's identity has also been dug out by the public.
A 24-year-old Eastern District Prosecutor, graduated from Seoul National University. To be honest, he is the envy of many people.
However, the company's official response to this matter was that it did not know the artist's personal emotional status.
You think so? There are assistants and agents here, and there are nearly a dozen people in one room. How can it be kept secret? After all, it’s just not clear on the surface. Although everyone knows that they have a boyfriend, admitting it is one thing.
It's one thing not to admit it.
However, if you directly tell them no, will it make people think that you are treating her as a fool and not a friend? It’s okay to lie to a stupid fan in public, but you have a good relationship with the other person. If you lie to her at this time, you will
It won't make the other person feel bad.
"Ah...this...he is a...good man..." Li Zhien gave Lin Zhexun the best evaluation in his mind. "
friendzoned.
It couldn't be any higher. The best evaluation she could give that son of a bitch in his life was "a good person".
"Ah, Zhien, aren't you joking? Are you a good person?" Goo Hara couldn't sit still. This answer was something she didn't expect.
They are already in the same room, and they are still hugging each other. Even if they are not boyfriend and girlfriend, their relationship is unusual.
"Is he your suitor?"
"That's not true, it's just..."
"friend?"
Li Zhien racked his brain crazily, and finally came up with an idea and gave an explanation: "We are in a state of getting to know each other?"
...
Zheng Nicole was silent for a long time, and finally couldn't help it anymore: "You wrote that official speech yourself, right..."
"No, no, no, no, it's just that we are familiar with each other." Li Zhien seemed to be hugging a small stick in the flood and refused to let go.
"You're trying to fool us with something more official than the official rhetoric?"
"I'm absolutely not lying to you. I lied to you and I will be happy in this life!!"
Zheng Nicole glanced at her good teammates from the same team, covered her mouth and said with a smile: "Forget it, I'll assume that you two are together. So you are the second team couple to have an open relationship."
