Death sentence turned into acquittal? Who told him to be a detective!

Chapter 108: The Man Who Stands Firm Against Six Departments' Joint Investigation!
Xu Liang was truly amazed today, like a chicken pecking at its own bottom.

Is he a litigator?

He's no big deal, what a liar!

At most, I could only get the death sentence in the first trial to be changed to no criminal responsibility in the second trial.

Or perhaps they could trick Zheng Mei into signing a letter of understanding.

Going further, wouldn't that be deceiving the judge and illegally obtaining evidence?
Is this considered a litigious person?
Qian Li is the real shrew!

"A case jointly investigated by six departments"

Xu Liang clicked his tongue in amazement, feeling utterly shocked.

"He's a 26-year-old lawyer, facing a joint investigation by six departments, and he wants to defend Wang Hai's innocence."

to be frank.

Xu Liangguang felt horrified just thinking about it.

Are you willing to risk your life for money?
Indeed, judging from the abandoned building, the fact that he single-handedly attacked dozens of people for a few hundred thousand yuan and illegally obtained evidence does seem a bit reckless.
Compared to Qian Li, this is nothing!

They're the ones who really value money more than their lives!
"Little Yang, if I gave you a million, would you be willing to tell the top officials of six departments that the people they are investigating are innocent?"

Xu Liang couldn't help but look at Yang Ruoxi.

Yang Ruoxi shook her head decisively.

"You think I'm stupid?"

"I don't want my career to die!!!"

Stop talking about her.

Even Xu Liang wouldn't dare; he's facing the Soviet Union, while the Supreme People's Procuratorate is relatively easy to deal with.

But with six departments, even if he had the guts of a bear and the courage of a leopard, he would still have to keep a low profile.

Not only did Qian Li not back down, he even dared to openly tell others that he would defend Wang Hai's innocence!

"Has he always been so brave?"

Xu Liang was still shaken, wondering which law firm in Hanhai City this person belonged to, and how he could avoid them in the future to avoid being bitten.

Yang Ruoxi thought so too, but after thinking about it, she asked doubtfully:
"Does he know Wang Hai?"

Xu Liang paused for a moment, then said, "You should know each other."

"What kind of fool would accept a commission without even knowing the most basic information?"

Yang Ruoxi thought about it and agreed.

So he nodded and agreed with Xu Liang's statement.

"Then he truly is a warrior!"

After saying that, the two hurriedly walked towards the police station entrance.

The presence of Qian Li made the two feel a little frightened. They had never seen such a crazy person before. What if he had a fit and bit them if they didn't leave?
After all, the other party is a formidable figure who dares to confront six departments, including the National Supervisory Commission, the Supreme People's Procuratorate, the Supreme People's Court, and the Ministry of Public Security, in court!

Compared to that, what does biting someone in the police station matter?
The two walked to the police station entrance, got into their car, and quickly drove away.

As for Lu Yao
The other party is still going through the process of claiming the body.

He wouldn't be able to leave for a long time, and he was already calling for a car, so he didn't need Xu Liang to take him away.

All Xu Liang needs to do now is...
Is it possible for Wang Hai to die?
Four p.m.

Inside the Liangxin Law Firm in Hongfu Street.

"So, is Wang Hai actually going to die?"

Inside the law firm, Xu Liang suddenly spoke to Yang Ruoxi, who was resting idly to the side.

After returning to the law firm, the two briefly dealt with the situation and then began to rest.

However, Xu Liang always felt that something was off.
He stood up from the sofa, his face serious.

Hearing this, Yang Ruoxi glanced at him and rolled her eyes.

"How could he not die!?"

"Not to mention the ones from before, the corpses in the boiler room alone are enough to kill him ten times over!"

Indeed, based on the cases we know so far, Wang Hai is destined to die, without any controversy, the death penalty!

just
"If that's the case, what's the point of him calling a lawyer?"

Xu Liang spoke with suspicion.

He could tell that Qian Li wasn't a legal aid lawyer; the other party had been hired!

Wang Hai hired a lawyer.
"Does he really not think his crime warrants the death penalty? No, he certainly does."

Xu Liang fell into deep thought, “Criminals understand better than anyone else the punishment they will suffer.”

"Logically speaking, no matter what kind of lawyer he hires, it won't change the outcome, so what's the point of hiring a lawyer?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Ruoxi sat up straight and frowned in thought.

indeed.

What does Wang Hai need a lawyer for?
If Wang Hai is not sent to the intermediate court for trial within a month in a case jointly investigated by six departments, Xu Liang will simply write his surname backwards!

The role of lawyers is negligible.

"Could it be that he doesn't want to die?"

Yang Ruoxi offered a guess: "For example, Wang Hai doesn't want to die. He's afraid of death, so he'd rather do something useless than do nothing?"

"Although he was rich, money was worthless to him once he died, so..."

"He wants to use a lawyer to give him a chance to survive?"

Xu Liang thought it made sense, but upon closer inspection, it felt very incongruous!
First of all
Even if a lawyer comes, there's no chance of survival!

In cases jointly investigated by six departments, he had never seen a criminal homicide case where the defendant had escaped punishment despite the joint investigation by all six departments.

It can't be that the other party would do something even if it was truly a futile effort!

"No, I overheard Lu Yao and Wang Hai's conversation."

Xu Liang pondered for a moment, then suddenly realized the problem.

"Wang Hai is very calm. He doesn't seem like the kind of person who loses his mind and does useless work."

"He must have his reasons for hiring a lawyer!"

"Perhaps, for Wang Hai, there really is a glimmer of hope!"

He had overheard the conversation, so he naturally knew about Wang Hai's situation.

The other party still had the rationality to refute, and knew that the police's words were a trap. They didn't say anything threatening to themselves, and directly distanced themselves from their subordinates' crimes. When asked, they said they didn't know and that it had nothing to do with them.

No matter how you look at it, this is an effort to escape the death penalty.

"Wait a minute, let me see Wang Hai's file!"

Xu Liang suddenly realized the problem.

He frowned and looked at Yang Ruoxi.

While at the police station, he had already made copies of the files of all the perpetrators, including Liu Shengjie and Zhang Mang.

The purpose is just in case!

I just didn't expect it to come in handy so soon after I returned to the law firm.
Yang Ruoxi hurriedly pulled a stack of files from her briefcase, the first one being Wang Hai's, and handed it directly to Xu Liang. Xu Liang took it and scanned Wang Hai's file.

Ultimately, it comes down to a few details.

"Elephant Country Nationality."

Xu Liang murmured.

The records show that Wang Hai is a citizen of Xiangguo!

only.
Legally speaking, no matter if Wang Hai is from Elephant Country, or even if the other party is America, or one of the other rogue states, he would not be able to escape the death penalty!
unless
This nationality is just for show!
Xu Liang paused, then suddenly thought of something else, and turned to look at the marital status section.

The message above indicates: Married!
Married?

Xu Liang frowned, straightened his back, and stared intently at the two words.

If I'm not mistaken, Wang Hai's only chance of survival lies here!
"Something's wrong."

Did the police arrest Wang Hai's wife when they arrested him?

Xu Liang looked at Yang Ruoxi seriously.

Yang Ruoxi also felt there was a problem, and after thinking about it, she shook her head and said:
"No."

"The police only arrested people related to the case. No, they didn't arrest my wife; they didn't even see her!"

Weird, weird.

Wang Hai is married, but he doesn't have a wife at home.

Nearly a week after his arrest, the police haven't brought his wife to the police station, nor have they even conducted the most basic interrogation.
Who is Wang Hai marrying?!
His wife can't just be invisible, can she?!
The police couldn't possibly assume the other party's wife was unrelated to the case and therefore not arrest her.

After all, the city government is taking this case very seriously, and all six departments are investigating it together!
In theory, Hanhai City would never let go of any opportunity to obtain clues!
As long as he has a wife, Chen Changchun has plenty of ways to get her to talk and then dig out clues that can directly convict Wang Hai!

But that's the reality.

Could it be?
"Foreigner?"

Xu Liang narrowed his eyes, a sense of foreboding rising in his heart, while another matter came to mind.

When he was at Jiangxin Veterinary Drug Factory, the factory manager once said that the other party's wife was a foreigner.
A foreign wife and foreign citizenship were not enough to make Wang Hai run away.

unless
"embassy!?"

Xu Liang and Yang Ruoxi gave the same answer without prior agreement.

After saying that, the two looked at each other, unsure of what to do.

The embassy has no reason to take Wang Hai away.

Embassies do have special powers and criminal immunity, but this does not affect anyone other than the embassy and its staff.

But that's what was said.

What if Wang Hai's wife works at the embassy and enjoys criminal immunity?

"Even so, it's impossible for him not to die."

“Criminal immunity does exist, but Shangcheng would never agree to extradite the other party back to Xiang Kingdom; that’s absolutely impossible!”

"Wang Hai is just a criminal, why should Xiangguo try to extradite him?"

"That doesn't make sense."

Yang Ruoxi shook her head, unable to understand it no matter what.

Criminal immunity can indeed lead to extradition back to the home country.

However, it requires discussion between both parties. Generally, if it does not involve state secrets and the other party's actions are indeed excessive, then...
The other party voluntarily waived their criminal immunity and accepted the punishment.

Only those individuals of extreme importance will be pursued with all their might for extradition.

As for Wang Hai?

Is he important?
How can it be! ?
But what if the other party really does something unprecedented and mindlessly tries to win it over?
"Should I call my dad and ask?" Yang Ruoxi suddenly asked.

Xu Liang pondered for a moment but did not agree immediately.

"Lend me your phone."

His phone is broken and he hasn't bought a new one yet, so he has to borrow someone else's phone to make calls.

Yang Ruoxi didn't refuse, and took out her phone and handed it over, since there's not much privacy on a phone these days.

Xu Liang did not dial the other party's father's number. Instead, after a moment's thought, he dialed a number that Yang Ruoxi seemed to be unfamiliar with.

"Who did you call, Mao Xian?"

Yang Ruoxi was somewhat surprised, "Only Shangcheng knows about this, right? Do you know anyone in Shangcheng?"

"Heh, don't think you're the only one with connections!"

Xu Liang's lips curled into a smile.

Again.

You can't be a lawyer if you don't have connections or resources!

Xu Liang's network of connections is also extremely impressive!

Shortly after, the call was connected.

"Hello? Who is it?"

A slightly aged voice, yet imbued with a strong sense of righteousness, came from the speaker.

Just by listening to the voice, one can get the impression that the other person is serious, old-fashioned, and looks down on lawyers!

这 是
"Master, it's me, your beloved disciple!"

Xu Liang wore a fawning smile.

这 是
The master of this notorious litigious lawyer in front of me!?
Yang Ruoxi was extremely shocked, staring at her phone with a look of utter disbelief.

To this day, she still doesn't know what kind of person could have taught Xu Liang to be such a ruthless and unscrupulous person!

Xu Liang, however, couldn't be bothered to pay her any attention.

He held the phone and spoke very solicitously:
"Master, I miss you so much in Hanhai City."

"In the months since graduation, I've thought about your face every single moment, and not a single second has I not wanted to return to your side."

After saying that,

Yang Ruoxi stared at Xu Liang with her mouth agape in shock.

She didn't know how Xu Liang could have said such a thing.

The person on the other end of the phone was clearly also fed up.

Wu Chengjun quickly interrupted Xu Liang.

"Whatever you say, you fart!"

"If someone is being unusually helpful, they're either up to no good or a thief. What do you want from this old man?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Liang spoke up:

"Teacher, I have a small case here, and it seems it's accidentally gotten to the top of the city. Do you know if you have any connections to help your beloved student?"

"To gather information?"
