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

Chapter 146 Breakthrough in the Case! 1987! [A long chapter of 4,000 words!]

Explanation?

Explain what?
Isn't this blatant slander?!

This was the first time Zhou Ke had ever felt so frustrated.

In the past, he was the one who forged evidence and acted as a litigator to make the other party feel uncomfortable. He never expected that one day this situation would actually happen to him.
But no way.

Faced with everyone's doubts, Zhou Ke had no choice but to stand up.

He took a deep breath and said in a low voice:
"The opposing lawyer is spreading rumors and smearing my character!"

"This card was not given to the opposing lawyer, nor was it related to the court hearing."

talking.

Zhou Ke had already figured out how to explain it.

"Instead, it was handed over to a person named Su Yu!"

"On the night of December 6, Su Yu stayed at the Jinjiang Hotel. She is the only innocent person in this case besides the deceased and our client."

"Because the hotel values ​​its reputation, it has decided to compensate Ms. Su Yu."

Zhou Ke explained slowly.

"However, coincidentally, Su Yu is the opposing lawyer's subordinate!"

"And as a member of the legal department of the Duan Group, I naturally have to take on this responsibility."

As his voice fell.

The origin of the card was given at least a rough explanation.

only.
"I'm sorry to interrupt the opposing lawyer."

"This card contains 500,000 yuan, which is far beyond the scope of reasonable compensation. Moreover, the bank card was delivered on the 13th, but the hotel's compensation policy was only added on the 12th!"

Xu Liang disregarded court rules and interrupted the other party directly.

"Attorney Zhou is trying to use this as a pretext for bribery so that Su Yu will whisper sweet nothings in my ear!"

"But I rejected it!"

After listening, Zhao Yi felt there was a problem.

"Did the plaintiff refuse this amount in person?"

In any case, the money ultimately ended up in Xu Liang's hands.

In this case, there is a suspicion of a conflict of interest, and there is a possibility of involvement in obtaining false documents.

“I had refused, but Attorney Zhou did not give up at the time.”

Xu Liang, with his head held high and seemingly without any psychological burden, said:
"But at that moment, Attorney Zhou threw the card in my face and ran away!"

“I couldn’t catch up with him at all, so the card stayed with me, but I had filed a report with the police beforehand.”

Fuck you!
It was clearly himself who got hit in the face by the card!

Zhou Ke was furious, his eyes blazing with fury, as if he wanted to burn everything Xu Liang owned.

This shameless bastard is spreading rumors in court.
"I am willing to take criminal responsibility for what I said!"

Xu Liang spoke calmly.

Zhao Yi looked worried.

Take responsibility? Take responsibility my ass!
The card did indeed originate from the Duan Group, and it certainly had a lot of money.

But no one could provide evidence to prove the reason for the card.

For the other party to say this in court is like forcibly pulling down Zhou Ke's pants and stuffing a lump of yellow mud into his crotch. He has no way to defend himself; even if it's not excrement, it's still excrement!
finally.

Xu Liang spoke seriously:

"I request that the evidence submitted by the opposing lawyer be rejected."

"I request that the plaintiff's lawyer be expelled from the court!" Zhou Ke retorted defiantly.

Zhao Yi:
How can this trial continue?
He looked at the people on his left and right.

He glanced again at the witnesses in the witness stand who were doubting themselves, and at the audience seats whose faces were full of surprise and solemnity.

finally.
Zhao Yi took a deep breath and said in a deep voice:
"This court hearing is now adjourned!"

"The court is now in recess. Please leave the scene in an orderly manner."

Finished.

Zhao Yi then stood up and, swaying slightly, walked out with the other judges.

He felt dizzy, like a lump of paste, and his head felt very heavy.

Court adjourned?

Everyone was stunned.

He then smacked his lips, his face full of tongue, but didn't say anything.

The defendant produced an alibi and claimed that the opposing lawyer was spreading rumors.

The plaintiff produced evidence of bribery and argued that the other party had fabricated false evidence.
If the case proceeds to this point and the court doesn't adjourn soon, their brains might be splattered out!
"Please leave in an orderly manner."

Several bailiffs came out and woke up everyone in the courtroom.

Hear the words.

The defendant, Zhou Ke, finally came to his senses and glared fiercely at the plaintiff, Xu Liang.

He then left with a livid face.

He didn't have time to waste with Xu Liang.

I need to quickly put together my so-called 'alibi'!
Since Xu Liang stuffed mud into his crotch, the court can't just listen to that; they will definitely scrutinize the evidence thoroughly!
That's right.

The court also has different priorities in verifying evidence.

Normal evidence, as long as it appears to be correct on the surface, will not be scrutinized by anyone.

However, what if there is suspicion of perjury during the trial?
The verification of evidence will then be extremely rigorous!
Zhou Ke's fake documents might not stand up to scrutiny under normal circumstances, but they certainly won't withstand close scrutiny!

He has to go back and mend things.
Watching his leaving figure.

"How arrogant! They actually dared to forge documents!"

Yang Ruoxi suddenly spoke with disdain.

Upon hearing this, Xu Liang looked around and chuckled:

"what about me?"

Yang Ruoxi paused for a moment, then her expression changed.

“You’re different. You just stated his true intention in giving him the money. You weren’t lying!”

"Ruzi can be taught."

Xu Liang looked at the other person with great satisfaction.

After following me for so long, they've finally made progress!

only.
Yang Ruoxi hesitated for a moment, looking at Xu Liang as if she wanted to say something but stopped herself, before finally speaking:

"By the way, why don't we just submit the surveillance footage?"

Xu Liang smiled, then looked up in the direction Zhou Ke had left.

"Tell me, what would happen to Zhou Ke if we submitted the truth before the trial?"

Yang Ruoxi fell into deep thought.

If the document had been submitted before the trial, Duan Feipeng would have been arrested, but that would have been the only outcome.

“Zhou Ke will abandon the fake certificate and instead think about other conspiracies.”

Yang Ruoxi spoke up.

"What if the evidence had been submitted during the court hearing?" Xu Liang asked again.

If evidence was submitted during the court hearing.

Zhao Yihui immediately adjourned the court and then verified the evidence.

After verification, Zhou Ke will be arrested. He will face criminal charges for participating in fabricating evidence.

But the problem is.
"Even if Zhou Ke is gone, there will be Liu Ke and Zhang Ke."

There will always be plenty of people who will stop at nothing to make money!

Xu Liang said with certainty.

Even if Zhou Ke is gone, Duan Jianhao can definitely find someone else to fill his place!

Now that he already knows Zhou Ke's information, suddenly changing his opponent would be detrimental to him.

The key is
"Zhou Ke is currently facing a problem of proving himself."

"He only uses all his energy to defend himself against the courts; he's practically half-dead."

A glint of shrewdness flashed in Xu Liang's eyes, and he said directly:
“A living Zhou Ke is difficult to deal with, but a dead Zhou Ke will be replaced by someone with strong abilities.”

"and."

"Zhou Ke, who is half-dead, is exactly the Zhou Ke we need most!"

They hold the initiative.

Zhou Ke could only be led by the nose!
Yang Ruoxi was shocked to hear this. She swallowed hard and looked at the other person with admiration.

"You're so cunning, you little rascal!"

She expressed her heartfelt admiration.

"Thank you. I appreciate the compliment."

Xu Liang joked as he packed his things, until he stopped in his tracks when the other person asked him a question.

"So, what are we supposed to do now?"

"We won't have to be so restricted like before, right?" Yang Ruoxi asked tentatively.

Last month, they dared not investigate anything, for fear of being monitored by Zhou Ke and thus knowing their suspicions in advance.

Right now, the other party is focusing all their energy on dealing with the court.
"I have some guesses."

Xu Liang narrowed his eyes.

"What guess?" Yang Ruoxi asked curiously.

“Those fake certificates are difficult to make without the school’s cooperation. Let’s first investigate the relationship between No. 18 Middle School and the Duan Group,” Xu Liang said.

the most important is
Xu Liang suddenly frowned.

He vaguely understood why Zhou Ke had initially tried to bribe him! "While the other party was preoccupied..."

"Let's investigate first!"

Finished.

The two quickly packed their things and ignored the reporters who surrounded them.

The two left in a hurry.

at the same time.

Inside the court.

The court adjourned, but that doesn't mean the judge did nothing!

in an office.

At this moment, the judges who were on the panel to hear the case of the body falling from the Jinjiang Hotel were exchanging views.

"So, how's the evidence verification going?"

"The investigation has only just begun, and these two lawyers are both very cunning. They submitted all the evidence in court, and none of them were submitted for review in advance."

"What I mean is, which side is lying?"

"I don't know, we'll have to wait a couple of days."

"."

Inside the collegial panel.

The judges anxiously analyzed the case.

During the court hearing just now, Xu Liang and Zhou Ke both extended their sincerest greetings to each other!
Even though the case was being fought so fiercely, they still couldn't tell who was telling the truth and who was lying.

"Old Zhao, say something!"

Finally, someone couldn't hold back any longer, looked at Zhao Yi, tapped the table, and said:

"How reliable do you think Zhou Ke's alibi is?"

Zhao Yi snapped out of his daze, pondered for a long time, and then shook his head.

"We can't trust even a 10% chance of success for now."

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded.

Zhou Ke is suspected of colluding with others to fabricate evidence. It would be normal not to believe a single word of his testimony, let alone a single one!

As for
"Where is the plaintiff, Xu Liang?" someone asked again.

"he"

Zhao Yi paused, then shook his head.

Based on his understanding of Xu Liang...

They never play the legal game with you!
He didn't believe a word of Zhou Ke's claim that he slapped a bank card in Xu Liang's face. If he believed it, he'd be a dog!
Upon seeing this, the members of the panel of judges were stunned.

"You can't believe either of them?!"

"They came to court to lie?!"

The other judges were stunned.

I've seen people lie during trials.

I've also seen cases where one party fabricated false evidence.

But did both sides lie and fabricate evidence in this case?

The case dragged on for hours, with both sides exchanging thousands of words, but not a single word of the truth came out!
"I don't know, but generally speaking, Zhou Ke's side is more suspicious."

Zhao Yi shook his head, pondered for a moment, and then said:

"The other party has a long history of misconduct."

"First, we should examine the evidence submitted by Zhou Ke."

Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

It's good to have something to do; what's scary is having nothing to do and feeling lost!
Just as the meeting was about to end.

Zhao Yi paused suddenly, then said:

"Focus on key inspections!"

"This is a crucial area to check!"

Everyone nodded and immediately began to act.

And so their orders were issued.

At this moment, Zhou Ke, who had just returned to the company and was preparing to discuss countermeasures with the other lawyers, suddenly changed his expression after receiving a message.

The judicial authorities have begun a rigorous examination of his evidence!
high speed!

For a moment, Zhou Ke couldn't care less about monitoring Xu Liang anymore and focused all his energy on dealing with the inspection from above.

The day.

7:30 p.m.

Inside the Conscience Office in Hongfu Street, Hanhai City.

It was already dark by this time.

But there was still one person inside the law firm.

This person is Xu Liang.

After returning to his law firm following the court recess, he rarely went out, as everyone was engrossed in the investigation.

until
The law firm's door was suddenly pushed open.

"found it!"

"The Duan Group donates a portion of its funds to support No. 18 Middle School every year!"

“After graduating from university, the Duan Group will also provide employment opportunities for the outstanding students who receive our sponsorship.”

"This collaboration was reached on June 1, 1987, and it was praised by many people at the time!"

Yang Ruoxi's voice suddenly rang out.

She was holding a newspaper in her hand. Although the newspaper was neat, it was very old and was being held carefully.

Xu Liang snapped out of his thoughts and turned to look.

Yang Ruoxi spread the newspaper out and placed it on the table.

This is a newspaper photocopy from 1987, kept at the newspaper office.

The newspaper office keeps a copy of each issue, and she had to pull a lot of strings to find this particular copy.

The first page of this 87 local newspaper from Hanhai City
The photo shows the then-principal of No. 18 Middle School shaking hands with a slender woman!

When Xu Liang saw the photo, his pupils constricted instantly, and he stared intently at the woman.

"This woman is Duan Feipeng's mother."

"At that time, the Duan Group and No. 18 Middle School signed this charity contract."

Seeing his reaction, Yang Ruoxi thought he hadn't recognized her and spoke up to remind him.

"No, not this."

Xu Liang's breathing suddenly became rapid, and his expression became serious, as if he had seen something extraordinary.

"What is that? The Duan Group invested in this contract, didn't they?"

"With the principal's achievements, the Duan Group only needs a small amount of money to attract many outstanding talents in the future."

Yang Ruoxi said suspiciously.

But Xu Liang's focus had absolutely nothing to do with it!
When was this photo taken?!

Xu Liang suddenly frowned, pointed at the slender woman in the color photograph, and spoke in a deep voice.

"It was Children's Day, June 1st, 1987. The photo was taken immediately after the contract was signed," Yang Ruoxi said suspiciously.

Hear the words.

Xu Liang smiled.

A smile appeared on his face.

He found the key to solving the case!

"Do you still remember Duan Feipeng's file?" Xu Liang asked.

"I remember, born on July 12, 1987, 17 this year, still..."

Yang Ruoxi subconsciously revealed the file.

But they only got halfway through.

Xu Liang suddenly interrupted him.

"Tuk-tuk!"

Xu Liang placed his hand heavily on the woman's stomach in the newspaper, and said in a deep voice:

"This newspaper was photographed on June 1, 1987."

"Duan Feipeng was born on July 12, 1987, which is only one month apart from the birth date!"

Xu Liang's gaze was deep and thoughtful.

As his words fell.

Yang Ruoxi paused, then looked on in surprise. She seemed to understand what the other person meant, and immediately stared intently at the woman's shrunken belly in the photo.

If the photo is accurate, then Zhang Li, born on June 1, 1987, should have been nine months pregnant!

Only in this way could Duan Feipeng be born in just one month.

But Zhang Li in the photo doesn't look pregnant at all.

Looking at that shrunken belly.

Yang Ruoxi's mouth kept opening wide.

"If Duan Feipeng's birth date matches the time the photo was taken, then a problem arises."

Xu Liang took a deep breath and uttered an unbelievable question.

"How did Zhang Li achieve this in just one month?"

"Completing the process of fertilization, gestation, and even childbirth!?"
