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

Chapter 171 Something Even More Serious! The Situation Escalates! [A Long Chapter of 4,000 Words!]

The court has accepted the case!
Zhang Fei felt his head buzzing and he was a little dizzy. Even though it wasn't dark yet, his vision was gradually turning black.

They started investigating this case a long time ago, but now that it's out in the open, the pressure to investigate it further is increasing exponentially!

"Public opinion. What's the public opinion like?"

Zhang Fei leaned against the wall to catch his breath, then looked at the woman and said something that made her look unwell.

"There hasn't been any widespread public discussion yet," the woman said, shaking her head.

"That's good, that's good"

Zhang Fei breathed a sigh of relief.

The city finds this case very difficult to resolve. The reason it's still not over after a month is that they are looking for a way to resolve it with minimal cost.

What's the tricky part?

Let's not even talk about the economy.

Just consider the geographical location of Sunzhou.

Sunzhou borders several regions, including Hanhai City, and the area where the problem occurred happens to be a border area, making it vulnerable to pollution.
That involves more than just Sunzhou.

Hanhai City will definitely be affected as well!

Over the past month, Zhang Fei and his colleagues have mainly investigated three points.

First, the situation within Sunzhou; second, whether the pollution has spread; and third, which bastard did this!

Zhang Fei, in charge of the third position, shifted his attention to Luo Jun and the others, but right now...
"How's the interrogation of Luo Jun going?"

The woman spoke again anxiously.

Mentioning the other party, Zhang Fei's face turned ashen.

"They haven't given in yet."

"It's not loose yet!?" The woman looked completely bewildered.

Logically speaking, it's impossible for them to bite so tightly.
"I now suspect that Luo Jun's actions were not just ordinary sewage discharge."

Zhang Fei took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "He may have done other things too!"

They only did something else, something even more serious than discharging sewage!

That's why the other party bit so hard!

Can.
What exactly did they do?

"As soon as possible."

The woman didn't know what to say. She finally sighed, a sharp glint flashing in her eyes.

"If conventional methods don't work, we can try unconventional methods too!"

Hear the words.

Zhang Fei nodded. "I understand."

After saying that, the two stopped talking.

The woman needed to find the others, so she hurriedly left the scene with the documents in her hand.

And Zhang Fei.
He turned around, looked at the conference room door, and cursed inwardly.

"Those bastards!"

These are no pushovers.

Over the decades, they have developed a tacit understanding and cooperation with each other, rendering interrogations like the Prisoner's Dilemma completely ineffective.

It would be good if the other party could realize the seriousness of the problem.

But unfortunately
These guys are blinded by money and still can't tell what's important and what's urgent!

After thinking for a moment.

Zhang Fei took a deep breath and opened the door.

"Squeak~"

The door opened.

The people who had been looking around the meeting room suddenly stopped and began exchanging glances without saying a word.

Upon seeing this, Zhang Fei sneered.

He was from Sunzhou, which is why he didn't dare to interrogate him too harshly.

But with the case out in the open, if public opinion expands further, then he won't be the one handling the trial anymore, and the other party won't be as gentle as he is!
Seeing this, Luo Jun and the others seemed to know nothing, and slowly asked:

"Boss, it's been several hours, can we leave now?"

"If we don't leave soon, we won't be able to pay the workers' wages."

Zhang Fei didn't speak, but just looked at everyone indifferently.

"Squeak~"

He pulled out a chair and sat down, remaining frozen in place.

Luo Jun and the others looked at each other, then continued their aimless, aimless wandering.

until
I don't know when, but night has already fallen outside the window.

When everyone was mentally exhausted.

Zhang Fei was about to say something when he was suddenly awakened by a ringing phone.

"Dududu~!"

In the large, quiet conference room, the telephone rang very loudly.

Everyone instinctively looked at Zhang Fei.

Zhang Fei ignored them, glanced at the caller ID on his phone, and then dialed the number.

The moment the call connected, a voice came from the other end of the line, and his entire mood changed drastically, turning gloomy.

Are you sure? Tell them, it's me.

"But the current case..."

"it is good."

At the end, Zhang Fei fell silent, took a deep breath, and hung up the phone.

He glanced at Luo Jun.

The other party started making a scene.

They weren't thugs, they were workers!

That's right. Luo Jun owed the steelworkers several months' wages, and the workers have now started to gather to demand their pay. They are determined to see Luo Jun and their attitude is very aggressive.
It's quite a coincidence that I just finished interrogating the other party when a group of people gathered to demand unpaid wages.

What a coincidence!
Without even thinking, you know these people have been used as pawns!

"Heh, Boss Luo, your men have come to pick you up," Zhang Fei said with a sneer.

"Who is it? I don't know anyone here."

Luo Jun replied vaguely, but it was clear that his attitude did not anger the other party.

Zhang Fei stood up, glanced at the other person, and then strode out of the conference room.

The moment the person disappeared, the conference room erupted in commotion again.

They knew this time it was a big deal.
Hide away!

But next time.
Thinking of this, the group couldn't help but turn their gazes to Luo Jun.

Luo Jun ignored him.

He walked straight out of the conference room.

He was already used to the city's architectural structure, so he didn't need anyone to guide him and walked directly into the building.

It was already late, with only the bright moon hanging high in the sky, and all that could be seen was a hazy darkness.

In the courtyard, several dark figures saw Luo Jun come out and hurriedly went to greet him.

He ignored the group, walked over, and got into the car.

"Snapped!"

Luo Jun sat in the car with the interior lights on, and a warm coat was immediately draped over his body. He leaned back in the seat and closed his eyes to relax.

The person in the passenger seat turned around and looked at Luo Jun.

Under the light, the other person's face was revealed, and it was none other than Liu Kun!

"Boss, what about the workers?"

Liu Kun whispered, trying to gauge the other person's meaning.

"Give me some money first, just to get rid of me," Luo Jun said casually, resting with his eyes closed.

Yes, just as Zhang Fei predicted.

This mass protest for unpaid wages was, of course, a staged performance by him!
Zhang Fei can be tough when facing Luo Jun.

But when faced with those workers, Zhang Fei had no choice but to back down, no matter how tough he was.

just
Has there been any change in the case?

Suddenly, Luo Jun spoke.

He recalled the afternoon when Zhang Fei was suddenly called out, and when he came back in, his face was extremely pale.

Hear the words.

Liu Kun quickly replied, "Yes!"

"Boss, someone has filed an appeal with the autopsy reports of the villagers from Huangyan Village!"

"The court has accepted the case, and Jinyang Steel Plant is among the companies that have been sued!"

Hear this.

Luo Jun opened his eyes instantly, his brows furrowing.

Jinyang Steel Plant is naturally his factory, so suing the factory is tantamount to suing him personally.

The key is
"Where did he get the autopsy report?"

Luo Jun frowned; he sensed that things had taken a slight turn for the worse. Aside from those involved in the judicial process, no one understands the law better than the perpetrator!
He knew clearly what kind of impact his actions would have on Sun Zhou, and therefore he was even more aware of what measures Zhang Fei and the others would take!
The city government will definitely investigate the case, but given the current lack of clarity in the case...
We will absolutely not put the case in the open!

Therefore, Sun Jin's body is still in the funeral home, and no one except the police can see it.

If that's the case, where did the other party get the autopsy report?

"It belongs to someone else."

Liu Kun's face was also extremely ugly, and he clenched his fists.

Someone else's autopsy report? Another body? If it's another body, how was the case filed?

Before Luo Jun could ask, Liu Kun spoke again:

"That man is a madman!"

"Boss, four months ago, there was a body in Huangyan Village that looked similar to Sun Jin's, but it was hastily buried without attracting the attention of the police."

"This person."

Liu Kun's expression grew increasingly grim as he spoke.

He was puzzled when he received the message, thinking that the city was preparing to take direct action against them.

To everyone's surprise, after the investigation, it was discovered that...
"He dug up the body that had been dead for six months and did the autopsy report!"

Liu Kun said through gritted teeth.

After hearing this, even Luo Jun fell silent.

They dug up the buried body.
Even Luo Jun himself didn't expect there to be this angle!

only.
"What about that matter?"

Luo Jun suddenly spoke up.

"Did the lawyer find out about that?"

Which thing?
This involves the most serious problem at Jinyang Steel Plant!
But it was precisely because of this problem that Luo Jun went from being a scrap collector to building the largest steel plant in Sunzhou!
How?
He initially purchased a batch of very cheap and special steel, which he then processed into building materials needed by various industries and sold. The substantial profits provided him with initial capital.

As for what makes this batch of steel special...
To put it simply, once it's discovered...
Luo Jun's head is so big it wouldn't be enough to lose ten times over!

The pollution in Sunzhou is superficially a problem caused by various chemical plants, but the most serious issue is this one!

"Zhang Fei and his group probably realized this and suspected that environmental pollution was not just about sewage discharge, which is why they have been dragging their feet on conducting in-depth investigations until now."

"While I was away, what were the lawyer and Zhang Fei's findings like?"

Luo Jun asked.

He took a deep breath and asked in a deep voice.

Liu Kun shook his head and replied:
“No problems can be found on the surface with that batch of steel. More than ten years have passed now, so it is unlikely to cause illness in others, and it cannot be detected in tests.”

"unless."

As he spoke, he paused slightly, recalling a colleague who had died a tragic death.

"Unless it's that lawyer from back then?" Luo Jun suddenly asked.

Liu Kun nodded.

Yang Ruoxi once told Xu Liang this.

Five years ago, Jinyang Steel Plant was sued by a lawyer named Jin Bo on the same grounds of environmental pollution.

The other party's investigation took even longer than Xu Liang's, but before the trial, they suddenly disappeared from the world.

The outside world is speculating that Luo Jun was responsible.

that's the truth.

The other party was killed by Luo Jun!
"Heh, he deserves to die. If you're going to investigate pollution, just investigate pollution. Why did you have to drag steel into it!"

A fierce glint flashed in Luo Jun's eyes.

"Don't worry about him."

"This person is dead, all the evidence has been destroyed, just keep a close eye on that new lawyer."

He killed Jin Bo.

If it were simply a matter of sewage discharge, Luo Jun wouldn't bother arguing with the other party. Even if he won the case, he would only have to pay some money.

This amount of money isn't even enough to buy him a meal!

But ironically, halfway through his investigation, Jinbo realized that a particular batch of steel was the biggest problem.
This matter is Luo Jun's Achilles' heel.

This is something he cares about even more than environmental pollution!
Since the other party had investigated and actually found evidence, Luo Jun simply killed the person to end it all!
"Okay, I guess so."

Liu Kun nodded.

He paused for a moment, then, considering his current situation, he spoke:

"Boss, should we stop him from filing a case?"

Luo Jun casually said:
"Just watch."

Hear the words.

Liu Kun nodded.

Although Xu Liang's case has been filed,
The other party did not file the case based on Sun Jin's autopsy report.

If the court wants to move the case forward, it must investigate Sun Jin.

That being the case.
"Let's go all the way and destroy Sun Jin's body!"

Liu Kun narrowed his eyes, looking extremely fierce.

As for that lawyer
"Should I?" Liu Kun made a chop gesture with his hand, as if cutting across the neck.

Luo Jun paused, pondered for a moment, and finally asked a question.

"Does he know what's good for him?"

Liu Kun shook his head, recalling how he had offered four million in the hotel lobby, yet the offer remained unsatisfactory.

"Same as Jinbo."

Just like Jinbo.

That means they can't be bribed.
Upon hearing this, Luo Jun remained silent for a long time before finally speaking:

"Sun Zhou, we cannot allow a second Jin Bo to emerge!!!"

Liu Kun paused, then understood.

"clear."

Finished.

The car drove out of the official building.

"The case is open; they're probably about to make their move!"

3 month 10 day.

It's 8:30 in the morning.

Huangyan Village, on a barren mountain.

The barren mountain was not desolate at this time, of course, not because it had any vegetation.

There were more than ten people on the mountain!

Who are these people?
They are all villagers from Huangyan Village.

what are they doing?
Digging a Grave
Wang Chao stared at the scene before him, where more than a dozen people were digging graves, and his eyes twitched repeatedly.

After Xu Liang was placed under investigation on March 9, he took further action.

what action?
Push the court to investigate the case!

How to promote it?

There is more evidence and more comprehensive information!
"Let's forget about Sun Jin. They're not in the same department, and we won't get the report even if it drags on for a month."

That's what Xu Liang said at the time.

He decided to investigate when the pollution started and estimate its scale and extent!
"Should we expand the case?"

Mountainside.

Yang Ruoxi and Su Yu hesitated for a moment, then asked in a low voice.

"Judging from the current situation, Sun Zhou is intentionally suppressing the case. Why don't we take advantage of the fact that the case has been filed and try to amplify the public opinion further?"

"The higher the better!?"

Xu Liang pondered for a moment but did not reject the idea.

"We'll reveal it when the time is right."

"When would be a good time?" Yang Ruoxi asked.

"When Sun Zhou started to support him!" Xu Liang's eyes narrowed.

He now sensed something was amiss.

Jinyang Steel Plant.

It's not that we haven't been sued for environmental pollution in the past.

This is not a big deal for a company; normally, it would be resolved with compensation.

The reason the problem is so serious right now is simply because people have died.

but.
"Has Jinyang Steel Plant lost any lawsuits?"

Xu Liang suddenly spoke up and asked a question in return.

The two girls paused.

Two days ago, Xu Liang had them investigate steel mills and chemical plants, as well as cases that Liu Kun had been in charge of.

These companies have a huge number of cases, and in most cases they have lost, which indirectly proves that the other party does not care.

but.
"Why."

"Will Jinbo die?"
