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

Chapter 109 Wu Chengjun: You absolutely mustn't become a litigator! [Seeking monthly votes!]

"Gathering information? What do you want with information about the upper city?"

"Let me tell you, don't even think about exploiting legal loopholes. If you're not doing well in a small place, just ask your senior brothers and sisters for help; they won't stand idly by."

"Never get into a fight with someone out of spite and become that kind of litigious person who will stop at nothing to win a case!"

Uptown, Uptown University.

Inside the law school office.

Professor Wu, who is over fifty years old, held his phone and spoke earnestly.

He is Wu Chengjun, a professor at Shangcheng University, and Xu Liang's mentor. A true master and disciple, not just a student and teacher.

And his reputation.
There are generally two extremes in the study of law.

First, we must be extremely committed to upholding justice!

Such people are extremely honest and fair. Once they reach a high position, they are the most troublesome for even the most shameful people!
The second type is those who are extremely adept at exploiting legal loopholes; some famous litigators are like this.

Wu Chengjun is the former.

Throughout the entire law school, there was no one who didn't know Wu Chengjun's reputation for being serious and stubborn!
"Let me tell you, don't let yourself be corrupted by bad influences when you go back to your small town."

"Our sect absolutely cannot tolerate shameless litigators like that!!!"

Wu Chengjun spoke earnestly, while the people around him listened with curious expressions.

Xu Liang, who was far away in Hanhai City, heard this.

His face was full of righteous indignation, but he also wore an expression of deep hatred as he spoke:

"That's right, our sect is determined to eliminate this kind of scum!"

"Master, don't worry, even if I die of thirst, starvation, or jump off Shangcheng University..."

"I will absolutely not learn a single thing from a litigious lawyer!!!"

Hearing these assurances...

A look of satisfaction appeared on Wu Chengjun's wrinkled face.

Although Xu Liang had not been by his side to listen to his teachings for several months
But for now, he can still rest assured about the child!

"That's good."

Wu Chengjun smiled, then took a sip of tea and asked:
"You want to ask me for information?"

"what news?"

"Let me tell you, I can't talk about those illegal, disorderly, or private matters."

University professors are of a very high rank.

Especially at Uptown University, given Wu Chengjun's rank, the secrets he's involved with are far from trivial; even a slight leak could bring trouble to a whole bunch of people.
Xu Liang had no interest in these matters either, and stated directly:

"Master, I just need to talk to my second senior brother about something. I'd like you to help me find out if the Xiang Kingdom embassy is trying to get something done recently?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Chengjun sat up straight in the office, his brows furrowed, and he said:

"embassy?"

After a moment's thought, Wu Chengjun understood what Xu Liang meant.

"You've encountered a case that requires contacting the embassy?"

"Yes, it's a minor case. The arrested person's identity is a bit unusual, and I need to confirm some of my suspicions."

Wu Chengjun fell into deep thought but did not reject the idea.

Again.

You can't become a great lawyer without connections and resources!

Xu Liang was merely inquiring about the attitude within his sect; he could easily have revealed it.

Wu Chengjun did not express his opinion in public, but suddenly spoke up:

"Don't you have your second senior brother's contact number?"

Xu Liang replied:

"I ran into some bastards the other day who stole my phone and my SIM card. Now I can only borrow a friend's phone to call you."

Upon hearing this, Wu Chengjun finally spoke:

"it is good."

"I'll contact your second senior brother for you, and he'll call this number to get in touch with you shortly."

Xu Liang smiled.

"Okay, thank you for your trouble!"

"Master, I hope you enjoy good health and all your wishes come true. As you get older, please don't get angry so easily. And if there are any troublemakers in the academy, don't rush to get angry. We..."

Hearing this series of words of concern.

Wu Chengjun smiled, but still chuckled and scolded:

"Alright, go find somewhere cool and rest!"

"Please take care of your health!"

Xu Liang quickly uttered his last words.

The call was disconnected the next second.

Seeing this, he breathed a deep sigh of relief, feeling as if a weight had been lifted from his shoulders.

Sure enough, I still have to use the forbidden power of my sect regularly to solve cases with peace of mind!
just
Xu Liang glanced at Yang Ruoxi, who was standing to the side with her mouth agape, her face blank and her mouth 'o' shaped as she shook her head in shock.

"Why do you look at me like this?"

"How could you lie through your teeth like that?!" Yang Ruoxi was shocked.

Good heavens, they even lied to their own master!
Strictly speaking
He's even swindling old men! Judging from the other person's tone and attitude, even though it was abusive, it was quite obvious. If Xu Liang put in a little more effort, he could probably even swindle his pension money!

Yang Ruoxi was stunned!

Xu Liang was not ashamed but rather proud.

"Go and learn!"

He placed his phone on the table.

"Since Master has agreed, it shouldn't be long."

"My second senior brother will send a message soon."

Uptown University, inside an office.

"Professor Wu, whose phone call was that? What made you laugh like that?"

A girl in the office looked at Wu Chengjun suspiciously and poured him a cup of tea.

In her memory, Wu Chengjun had always been a serious and rigid person, and rarely smiled like this.

"It's nothing, just one of my students."

Wu Chengjun slightly suppressed his smile, but a hint of amusement still lingered in his eyes.

Upon hearing this, the girl smiled and teased:

"Then this student must have truly mastered your teachings."

At this point, Wu Chengjun wore a proud expression.

"Indeed, this kid is the smartest of all my students!"

"He understands things immediately and learns them quickly; he also comes from a farming family."

"And of all my students, he's the most honest and the one who gives me the least trouble!"

"."

Wu Chengjun always praised Xu Liang to the skies when he spoke.

It was obvious that he favored the student, especially admiring the student's spirit of not bowing down for a pittance.

The girl beside him listened quietly, occasionally flashing a smile.

After a long while, Wu Chengjun finally remembered the important matter.

"This rascal asked me to do something for him."

"I'll get busy first."

Upon hearing this, the girl nodded sensibly and then left the office.

Wu Chengjun then took out his phone, pressed a few buttons, and dialed the number.

"dududu~"

A short while later, a noisy sound rang in my ears.

"Hello? Teacher?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Chengjun paused, then frowned.

"Xiaoyang, why is it so noisy over there?"

Just a second ago, Xu Liang told him to ask his second senior brother, Li Yang, for information.

The next second after dialing, I heard a lot of noise on the other end.
Wu Chengjun absolutely refused to believe it was just a coincidence!
"Teacher, please wait a moment, I'll go somewhere else."

I could hear footsteps coming from the other end of the phone.

Before long, the noisy discussions subsided, and finally a voice rang out.

"Teacher, please tell me."

Wu Chengjun hesitated for a moment, then stopped talking and didn't ask any further questions. Instead, he asked Xu Liang's question.

"Your junior brother asked me to ask you if there's been anything unusual at the Xiang Kingdom embassy in Shangcheng lately?"

Junior Brother!?

There was a noticeable pause on the other end of the phone, whether because of Xu Liang or because of the mention of Xiangguo, after a moment of silence, the other person suddenly spoke:

"Teacher, how did my junior brother find out?"

"You're asking me? Who am I supposed to ask?" Wu Chengjun snorted.

Upon hearing this, the person on the other end of the phone fell silent, then sighed and said:
"To be honest, teacher, I have indeed run into a bit of a problem."

"The Embassy of the Republic of China is currently making a strong demand for the release of a person from the Consular Department due to a local criminal case."

"VIP?"

Wu Chengjun frowned, instantly understanding the other party's meaning.

"Is it someone with political connections? Did they catch someone cheating?"

"No."

Li Yang on the other end of the phone immediately rejected the idea.

"It's a criminal case."

"A criminal case!?"

Wu Chengjun was a little confused. "A criminal case that triggered such a strong reaction from a demanding person?"

"And it's a local case!?"

What kind of people does the opposing party need in a criminal case?

In cases that are not sensitive, the sentence should be handed down as appropriate. Generally, the country of origin is too lazy to pursue the person, and in the end, the discussion usually ends with the abandonment of criminal immunity.

Only those involving sensitive issues deserve a strong reaction from the other party!
"I don't know, but the consulate has guessed something."

Li Yang responded.

The other party's attitude definitely indicates they're hiding something!

Not to mention that their investigation revealed that the person the other party wanted was simply the husband of one of their secretaries, with no other sensitive factors whatsoever.

But the more they do this, the bigger the secret the other party is hiding!
After thinking it over, Wu Chengjun finally decided not to get involved in the mess.

He is in his late fifties, almost sixty.

In two more years, I should be retiring and enjoying my retirement. If I'm idle now, meddling in this and that, it won't be good if I end up with a reputation for not keeping my integrity in my later years.

"You should tell your junior brother yourself."

"His phone was stolen before, so he's using a new temporary number. Write it down."

Li Yang made a note of it.

Shortly after, the two hung up the phone.

Consular Affairs Department.

Inside the toilet on the fourth floor.

Wearing a suit and a neat red tie, Li Yang sighed and put his phone back in his pocket.

He looked out the window, where a bustling scene unfolded.

This is the upper town, and he works in the consular section.

As for Li Yang himself.
He was around thirty-five years old, exuding a refined and scholarly air. He was 1.8 meters tall with a straight posture and rather resolute features.

However, at this moment, Li Yang's two brows were deeply furrowed together.

He sighed deeply, washed his face, dried it, and walked towards the conference room.

Li Yang would not normally show this expression.

He didn't even show this kind of emotion in the other cases!
But what he's encountered right now is just too bizarre!
In a criminal case where Dongguo (the country) has clearly stated that it will not release the person, the other party is so eager to take them away!
You might say this is due to political factors, Li Yangxin.

But this is just a criminal case!
But then again.

If this case involved more than just criminal matters, then it might have elicited such a reaction from the other party!
But what could it be?

Li Yang walked thoughtfully towards the conference room, his mind filled with the information from the joint investigation team of six departments.

until
"Squeak~"

Li Yang pushed open the conference room door, only to find that his colleagues, who had been having a heated discussion, now all looked increasingly grim.

Li Yang frowned.

"what happened?"

People around heard the noise and turned around to look.

"Counselor Li, you're back."
