A South Korean official in Yang Pinh County, Zheng He, was found dead in his home on suspicion of suicide. At the time, a team of South Korean special prosecutors was investigating him and his former first lady.Jin JianxiRelated Yangpyeong County development case. It is reported that the official left a handwritten suicide note.

Previously, it was reported that a company owned by Jin Jianxi's family received exemption from development fees in a development project in Yangping County from 2011 to 2016, and Zheng Xizhe was the team leader of the project at the time.

On September 24, local time, South Korea¡¯s former first lady Kim Jiangxi (left) arrived in Seoul¡¯s central district court to attend the first trial of her corruption case.

According to reports, the 57-year-old Zhengxiang began to be investigated by the team of special prosecutors on the morning of October 2 and left the interrogation room until after midnight. At about 3:20 a.m. the next day, he left a handwritten note after returning home. In addition to the note, he also left a note. As of October 12, the police did not disclose the content of the note to his family due to his death. A police officer said: "After completing the analysis of the note, if the family submits a request, we will return the note," the police said that the note is an important evidence for the investigation of the case, which may need to be published after the investigation.

Zheng¡¯s funeral was originally scheduled for October 12, but was delayed due to body examination. Currently, his body has been placed in the cemetery and an official commemoration ceremony is scheduled for the morning of October 14 at the Yang Pinshire government building.

A representative from the House of Representatives of the South Korean National Power Party criticized: ¡°The police have no right to take the original of the book from their relatives if it is necessary to investigate, only copies.

In addition, the legality of Zheng Xizhe's late-night investigation has also caused controversy. According to the lawyer,"The day after the investigation ended, the client claimed that the investigation team conducted a late-night investigation without his consent." Lawyers believe that refusing to disclose the contents of the suicide note and forcing an autopsy against the wishes of the family will only deepen doubts about the matter.

However, the team of special prosecutors insisted that they had obtained the parties' consent to the late-night investigation on the night of 2 and denied that they had taken any coercive measures.

It is reported that Zheng Xizhe was not the first relevant official to die in the Jin Jianxi case. Last year, an anti-corruption official investigating South Korea's first lady Kim Jian-hee's "acceptance of designer bags" reportedly committed suicide at home.
