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

Chapter 148 Zhou Ke's Attempt to Implicate Xu Liang! [A Long Chapter of 4,000 Words!]

Instigation!?
Xu Liang frowned immediately, and after thinking for a moment, asked again:

"and then?"

"Then?"

Chen Changchun paused for a moment, then continued:

"Then, the family members became very agitated and were determined to get an explanation."

"But after taking the case to court, it was discovered that Duan Feipeng was only 11 years old at the time."

Ultimately, Duan Feipeng was taken home for ideological education.

11 years old.
“There really is a suspect,” Yang Ruoxi said, frowning.

Xu Liang pondered.

Duan Feipeng really knows how to pick his time to instigate.
Not too many, not too few, just under 12.

What is the difference between 12 and 11?
The difference is that the former allows entry, while the latter truly cannot be selected!

"Wasn't a thorough investigation conducted at the time?"

Xu Liang frowned and pressed for an answer.

"I checked, and there are no problems with the student records, household registration, or birth certificate."

Chen Changchun spoke up.

It's possible that there are problems, but rather that the problems are being covered up.
Six years is a long time ago, or even seven years ago.

“That was 1998,” Xu Liang murmured.

What are the differences between 1998 and now?
The difference is huge!

First, there's the household registration system, which is the most prone to errors. During that period, some people even managed to change it just to join the army.

Student status
No. 18 Middle School is not just a high school; it also has a primary school and a junior high school. Duan Feipeng attended primary school there.

The academic records in paper archives are primarily managed by the schools!
In other words, the school records were managed by No. 18 Middle School at that time.
The problem is...

The Duan Group signed a charity contract with No. 18 Middle School, agreeing to donate a large sum of money to the school every year, which can be described as extremely significant!
That's the case.

The student registration information managed by the school can still be handwritten paper records.
“There’s a problem.”

Yang Ruoxi suddenly whispered.

What's the difference between this and checking up on yourself?!

With just a slight alteration to the medical birth certificate, the modified information can almost be confirmed!

Xu Liang rubbed his temples but didn't say anything.

Chen Changchun glanced at them tentatively and asked with a puzzled look:

"What? You want to overturn this case?"

"Captain Chen, I'd like to ask if the police can issue us a warrant to investigate?"

Xu Liang did not answer directly.

Currently, it appears that the other party is highly suspicious and has sufficient capability to accomplish this task.

That's not the truth!
But since there was a strong suspicion, he naturally had no reason to miss the opportunity.

However, he was unable to find evidence that Zhou Ke had altered his age six years ago.

But he can find others to testify!

Xu Liang didn't believe that Zhou Ke was truly so powerful and capable of thinking of everything, and that he could disguise Duan Feipeng's age so perfectly!
This is impossible.

Otherwise, Xu Liang and his companion wouldn't have been able to find the newspaper from June 1, 1987.

If the other party could miss the newspaper, there must be other information that they overlooked!

"Investigation order?"

"Who are you going to investigate?"

Chen Changchun was puzzled.

Investigating Zhou Ke and Duan Feipeng? Isn't the court already verifying the evidence?

"Hospital!"

Xu Liang revealed a major case that the other party had not expected.

"The hospital where Zhang Li gave birth to Duan Feipeng!"

"A hospital!?" Chen Changchun asked in surprise.

After a moment of surprise, he thought for a moment and then said:

"It is possible, but it is best to apply to the court for an investigation."

“It’s different. When the court applies for an investigation order, it’s possible that Zhou Ke and Duan Feipeng will be notified in advance.”

Xu Liang shook his head.

If age really is a problem.

He applied for an investigation at the hospital, and the court's statement to the investigated party was practically an open secret.

Even if Zhou Ke were stupid, he would realize what Zhou Ke wanted to investigate and would definitely try to stop him.

"That's true."

Chen Changchun nodded.

The court needs to maintain absolute impartiality, and if Xu Liang applies, there is a real possibility that this kind of thing will happen.

After pondering for a moment, Chen Changchun finally came up with a solution.

He took out his walkie-talkie and cleared his throat.

"Cough cough!"

"Captain Liu, can you hear me?"

A short while later, a static sound came from the walkie-talkie, followed by Liu Jin's voice.

"Captain Chen, please speak, I'm here."

Is Chaozi with you right now?

"Yes," the walkie-talkie replied.

"You and Chaozi, come to the archives now. Hand over your current tasks to others. I'm going to assign you new tasks."

Not long after.

After Chen Changchun finished speaking, he hung up the walkie-talkie.

A few minutes later, a knock came at the door of the archives room.

“Tuk-tuk-tuk~”

"Come in."

After pushing open the door, Liu Jin appeared in front of him. He paused slightly when he saw Xu Liang holding the case file, and then turned to look at Chen Changchun.

Chen Chang wasted no time and spoke directly:

"Captain Liu, please take Wang Chao to the Hanhai City Women and Children's Hospital."

"Go there and investigate the latest wanted criminal with the bounty."

"Oh, by the way, the whistleblower is Attorney Xu. You two need to cooperate during the investigation."

Issuing an investigation order directly to Xu Liang is not an option.

However, if Xu Liang reports that he suspects there are illegal elements in the hospital, it would be reasonable for Liu Jin and Wang Chao to go and investigate with an investigation warrant.

As for what was unexpectedly found during the search.
Then nobody will know!

Anyway, the program is correct, and the search results are not fake!

Liu Jin didn't quite understand, but that didn't stop him from agreeing.

"it is good."

After making this decision.

The four of them wasted no time and turned to walk towards the parking lot.

Not long after.

The two vehicles then drove towards the Hanhai City Women and Children's Hospital.

The matter was done without a trace.

No one knows!
at the same time.

Inside No. 18 Middle School in Hanhai City.

"Are the security cameras outside the school broken?"

"you sure?"

"Principal Li, we are here on behalf of the Municipal Intermediate People's Court, you..."

Several court officials stood in the office, their brows furrowed as they looked at the obese vice principal in front of them.

They just came to the school to check the surveillance footage, but they told me the footage was damaged and couldn't be investigated; they only had the copy Zhou Ke made!?

Are they making a fool of people?!
"It's true, and it didn't just break now; it broke ten days ago. The school is currently working on emergency repairs!"

The vice principal began to speak with a pained expression.

Principal Sun has been taken away for investigation, and the position of principal is currently vacant.

He had only been at No. 18 Middle School for half a year, and this incident happened after only six months. No matter how Principal Li thought about it, he felt like he had been unfairly blamed.
God knows how shocked he was when he received Principal Sun's call after finishing a meeting in the city on the afternoon of December 7th!
Not to mention, now they've also got involved in faking surveillance footage.
Principal Li was cursing inwardly, but his face still showed a bitter expression as he said:
"The temperature in Hanhai City plummeted on the 22nd, 23rd, and 24th. The tree in front of the school was snapped in half by the wind and landed right on the security camera."

"We are already looking for people to carry out emergency repairs."

"But even if it's fixed..."

"The surveillance footage is no longer accessible."

Later surveillance systems used cloud storage, so even if the surveillance cameras were damaged, investigations could still be conducted.

But these days
Honestly, it couldn't be easier to break a surveillance camera on a particular day.

It can do things like deleting logs, squeezing out large amounts of memory, or even directly damaging the monitoring system.

Hear the words.

Zhao Yi didn't say anything more.

He simply frowned and exchanged a glance with the other judges.

When they arrived, they had seen a tree that had been broken by the wind at the entrance; the tree was gone, leaving only a stump.

Judging from the marks on the tree stump, there is a 90% probability that it was not man-made.

But the problem is.
"Why did it have to stop during the investigation, whether it was earlier or later?" The judge frowned and spoke bluntly.

"It wasn't during the investigation that it was cut off." Principal Li said with a still bitter face.

"It stopped ten days ago, it really stopped ten days ago."

In other words, the connection was broken long before the investigation began, long before Xu Liang accused them of forging documents.

That makes sense from that perspective.

The period from mid-December to January is when temperatures drop sharply and the weather turns cold.

Zhao Yi's continued suspicion stemmed solely from the fact that the decision was made too conveniently.

The tree next to the surveillance camera broke.

And just then, the security camera was damaged.
As a judge, he often harbors a strong skepticism towards such coincidences.

Of course, if Xu Liang came...
He would exclaim in surprise that Zhou Ke, that beast, left no loose ends, and that the month he had spent working on him had not been wasted!
a long time.

Zhao Yicai spoke up:

"I remember Duan Feipeng was a student in Class 7?"

Seeing that the other party was not investigating further on the surveillance footage.

Principal Li quickly spoke up:

"Yes, it's Class 7. There are two witnesses who are from Class 7."

Hear the words.

Zhao Yi nodded, sat down in his office, and said, "Principal Li, please bring these students over so we can investigate them."

Principal Li nodded repeatedly in agreement, actively demonstrating that he had nothing to do with the matter.

He and the jurors went to the classroom.

Before long, two students arrived, but they were separated and questioned one by one.

A girl in a school uniform sat next to Zhao Yi. She looked nervous, kept swallowing, and her fingers were clutching her clothes.

Seeing this, Zhao Yi spoke up to comfort him.

"You're Zhu, right? Don't worry, the main reason I came here is to ask you if you remember Duan Feipeng at school on December 6th."

Hear the words.

Zhu began to think carefully.

After a long silence, she finally spoke:

"I remember, it seems he was sleeping in his seat at the time, and I was still there."

She explained it in more detail.

It sounds exactly the same as what was presented in court.

Zhao Yi's brows furrowed gradually, and after a long while, he spoke only after she finished her report:

"Thank you for your help. Zhu, you can go back to class now."

"Uh-huh."

Zhu nodded, turned around and quickly walked towards the classroom.

Not long after.

The judge who was questioning another witness also entered the office.

Zhao Yi and the other person exchanged a glance.

"How about it?"

"No problem, I have a very detailed record, almost identical to the documents presented at the court hearing."

The judge began.

Zhao Yi shook his head and asked again.

"What I mean is, are there any signs of bribery?"

Children are not necessarily innocent.

They might be tempted to give false testimony, but their age determines their experience and knowledge, and they will definitely show a flustered expression when questioned by the judge!
Upon hearing this, the judge shook his head.

"I didn't see it."

Neither of the two witnesses were bribed.

Zhou Ke's technique was very skillful.

He knew that the most important thing about making fake evidence was not to bribe people, but to make others believe that the evidence he gave was genuine!

Therefore, he had already guided him in advance.

But Zhao Yi certainly didn't know that.

"The investigation is very difficult."

Zhao Yi sighed and rubbed his temples.

"There are still about two weeks until Chinese New Year."

He wanted to finish the case within half a month and then go to celebrate the Chinese New Year, otherwise it would be too distressing to be thinking about work during the New Year.

When I came over and took a look...
I reckon this case won't be resolved even after the New Year!

"Should we call over the other witnesses to verify them one by one?"

One of the judges began to ask questions.

Zhao Yi considered for a moment, then shook his head.

"Need not."

Several other witnesses, Zhou Ke, and Duan Feipeng had conflicts of interest.

Strictly speaking, the testimony of individuals such as drivers and security guards, as witnesses, can be disregarded by the judge.

If Zhou Ke really made fake documents, they wouldn't be able to find anything.

If it wasn't done, then there's no need to check.

Think for a long time.

Zhao Yi stood up and said to Principal Li, "Thank you for your cooperation."

"If there are any further issues, the court will contact you again."

Finished.

The court personnel then left.

See this.

Principal Li breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and looked at the group of school leaders following behind him, and immediately waved his hand.

"Alright, everyone, go do whatever you were doing!"

After saying this, he left with a sorrowful expression.

However, what he didn't know was...
After the head teacher dispersed from the crowd, she went to the restroom. While squatting in a stall, she sent a message on her phone.

"The court officials have left."

"The court personnel have left!"

Zhou Ke breathed a sigh of relief, deleted the message, and then put his phone in his pocket.

He looked around.

He was in the Duan Group's office at the time.

Duan Jianhao was standing next to him.

"Boss, the court officials have left the school," Zhou Ke said in a deep voice.

"Did they find anything?" Duan Jianhao asked worriedly.

"Not yet."

Zhou Ke shook his head.

The school couldn't catch him.

He's been a lawyer since he started out, yet he still hasn't gotten into prison.

It all comes down to vigilance!
He always handled the fake documents very cleanly, and even if no one investigated, he could maintain logical consistency.

The court is destined to fail this time.

Are there any countermeasures?

Duan Jianhao suddenly asked.

At this moment, his previously calm face became furrowed.

Yes, Duan Jianhao was somewhat worried.

What he fears most is someone who is stubborn and unyielding, and even a scoundrel!

Although Xu Liang doesn't consider himself a rogue, he definitely fits the former description—he's impervious to both soft and hard tactics!

They don't want money, they're not afraid of threats, and they'll even fight you to the death.
Let alone a highly capable lawyer, even someone at the very bottom of society would be intimidated!
This time, Zhou Ke's seemingly invincible evidence failed to win the trial.

On the contrary, the court session had barely begun when Xu Liang disrupted the rhythm of the proceedings, and they almost exposed themselves.
Duan Jianhao couldn't help but worry!

"Have."

Zhou Ke nodded, gritting his teeth and saying with a sinister look in his eyes:
"Since he says I am suspected of colluding with him to give a false testimony..."

"Then let's make this a fact!"

A resolute glint flashed in Zhou Ke's eyes.

He has already thought about it.

Xu Liang could use bank cards to spread rumors.

He can too!

If you frequently visit the other party's law firm or make phone calls to them, and someone takes photos of you doing so, then...
A third party made a direct report, and Zhou Ke dragged Xu Liang down with him, leading to both sides changing lawyers!

His goal was to win the trial.

It doesn't matter who wins!
so.
Replacing Xu Liang with myself is an extremely worthwhile trade!
Of course, this is based on the premise that the other party does not have conclusive evidence.

But the evidence is irrefutable.
"Don't worry, boss."

"Since the other party has spent a month making only slanderous statements in court, it is highly likely that there is no evidence."

Zhou Ke offered words of comfort:

"This court hearing."

"The advantage is mine!"
