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

Chapter 173 Xu Liang: Answer the Phone [4000-Word Chapter 1]

Once he's inside, getting him out again won't be so easy.
"Hehe, Attorney Xu, you're really joking."

Zhao Qian sneered a few times.

"It's just temporary detention, at most 24 hours. Once you're cleared of suspicion, the police will release you."

"That's impossible to say."

Xu Liang looked at him and said quietly.

Zhao Qian didn't waste any words, he simply stepped aside to make way for him.

"Please, Attorney Xu."

Xu Liang glanced at him and walked away indifferently.

Go to the police station?

It doesn't matter, I anticipated this and had already prepared a backup plan.

"Snapped!"

Sitting in the police car, Xu Liang looked out the window at the scenery and squinted.

Whether we can find any new clues next is up to them.
It all depends on Wang Chao!
It was 9:30 PM.

Why can't I get through on the phone?!

In front of Sunzhou Funeral Home, Wang Chao looked at the dim screen that displayed "Unable to make a call," and a look of suspicion appeared on his face.

According to the plan.

I was about to call the other person to let them know I was safe while I was in front of the funeral home, but now that I've made the call, there's been no response.
"Never mind, I don't need to worry about it."

Wang Chao muttered to himself as he put away his phone and continued to hide.

The plan did not specify whether the operation should be suspended if Xu Liang could not be contacted.

But Wang Chao felt it wasn't necessary, since the other party had already made arrangements for it.

Before sending Yang Ruoxi away, he said that if she couldn't contact him that night, she should ask Su Yu to contact his teacher, and then she would be able to find him.

So you don't need to worry too much about this.

He continued to wait.

Before long, it was 9:50.

To be honest, Wang Chao was feeling a bit drowsy.

Fortunately, the night wind was cool, and just a slight breeze made him feel refreshed, so he couldn't help but curl up.

"Damn it, what a lousy weather, coming to this godforsaken place!"

Wang Chao muttered to himself.

He thought he was destined to return empty-handed tonight, but Xu Liang guessed wrong.
"Om~!"

A car suddenly stopped not far away.

Someone is coming!
"Someone actually came? Whose people are they?"

Wang Chao blinked, noticing the vehicle didn't resemble a hearse, and quickly shrank to the side to hide.

Not long after.

A faint sound came from beside my ear.

"Damn it, why are we stealing corpses? In this freezing weather, why are we always made to do this filthy work?"

"So what? It's easy money, so why not just steal? Besides, it's not like we're stealing from the police station, just from the funeral home."

"Yeah, that's quite a lot of money!"

"Stop nagging, or the people will be here soon."

"That's right, hurry up and finish so we can get some sleep!"

"."

A rustling sound gradually rose up.

The two men got out of the van; one was tall and the other short.

After getting out of the car, the tall man looked around warily, then quickly headed towards the main entrance of the funeral home.

The funeral home also has business at night, and the main gate doesn't need to be locked, so it just needs a slight push to open.

"Squeak~"

A chilly wind wafted in from the gaps, swirling around the back of their necks.

"It's really creepy this late at night."

The two clicked their tongues in amazement, then stopped dawdling and stepped inside.

The two of them groped around.

Before long, they found the location of the morgue.

The shorter man took out a wire and tried to pry it open for a long time without success. Eventually, the taller man became a little impatient.

"I come!"

He snatched the wire, fiddled with it for a while, and finally returned it to the shorter man.

"You should do it," the taller one said.

The shorter man looked down on him a little, but he knew that the important thing was to get down to business, so he continued to pick the lock.

He closed his eyes, feeling the tactile sensation from the lock cylinder, and finally...
"Snapped!"

A crisp spring sound rang out.

"It's done!"

The two men's eyes lit up, and they quickly opened the door.

The moment the door opened, rows of mortuary beds covered with white sheets appeared before me.

Neatly arranged mortuary cabinets line both sides of the wall.

The shorter man lifted the white sheet covering one of the beds.

In an instant, a rotting face appeared before him!
His eye twitched, and he quickly covered the white cloth with it.

"Don't be mean!"

The tall man said something, then glanced at the morgue cabinet before finally focusing on '401'.

"We've found the target! It's right here!"

The taller man said something in a low voice.

Seeing this, the shorter man took out the wire again and went forward to pry it open.

The two of them worked for quite a while.

finally.
"Shua~!"

The morgue cabinet was suddenly pulled open, and a corpse was pulled out in front of the two people.

The people inside
The tall man took out a photo, compared it to the corpse for a moment, and then nodded.

"No doubt about it, it's him!"

"Carry it on your back!"

The two men moved swiftly, taking out body bags they had prepared beforehand, putting the body inside, and then carrying them on their shoulders and walking away!
"Snapped!"

The morgue door was pushed back open, but this time there was no body inside.

The two people left the funeral home quietly and got into the van that had arrived.

"Snapped!"

"It's so heavy!"

The shorter man placed the body in the trunk, then began panting heavily and cursing.

The taller one didn't say anything.

He turned on the fire immediately.

"Om~!"

The engine roared.

As the rubber tires rotate.

Shortly afterward, the two men left the scene with the body.

The car traveled along, bumping and jolting the entire way.

The dilapidated car wobbled precariously, but never fell apart. It drove from the city to the suburbs, and finally, the car plunged into the bottomless forest!

The night was very dark in the early hours of the morning.

However, the two seemed very familiar with this route, heading towards the mountaintop with a clear goal in mind.

Yoshihisa
"Om~"

The car slowly came to a stop in front of a dilapidated temple.

The temple was dilapidated, filled with cobwebs, and gloomy, exuding an eerie atmosphere.

"Snapped!"

The car door opens.

The two got out of the car from either side, looking at the dilapidated temple with expressions of astonishment.

"I'm going to run the water, you get ready."

"We'll move the person inside and burn them later, then cover up the firelight to avoid being discovered by the people around us."

As the taller man spoke, he unzipped his pants and walked towards the corner of the wall.

"okay!"

The shorter one nodded and went to prepare firewood.

only.
Just a few steps after the shorter man got out of the car.
"Om~"

In a trance.

The car engine started making noise.

The shorter man was taken aback, and subconsciously muttered a curse:

Did you engage the handbrake?

He was halfway through his sentence, just about to go back and park the car, when he turned around...
The shorter man was stunned.

He saw someone sitting in the driver's seat?

Wait, a person?

Who came from?!
The shorter man stood frozen in place, his mind blank, unable to react for a moment.

The person in the driver's seat looked at him.

Wang Chao blinked and turned the key that was still in the car.

"Om~!"

The roar of the van echoed through the mountains and forests.

The shorter man was immediately jolted awake.

"Where did this person come from?!" the short man exclaimed in astonishment.

"who?"

The tall man hurriedly pulled up his pants and looked back, but when he saw that there was another person in the driver's seat, his mind went blank.

Wang Chao didn't give the two of them time to react and stepped on the gas.

"Om~!"

The rubber tires spun rapidly, and the car began to head down the mountain road.

Looking at the bright taillights, the two looked at each other, then suddenly realized what was going on.

"A car thief!?"

"Where the hell did this guy come from?!"

The two exclaimed in surprise, and the taller man, without even pulling up his pants, was about to chase after them.

But a pity.

Although they have four legs.

But it definitely can't outrun four wheels, let alone on a night road going downhill.
Fortunately.

The van stopped at the drop-off point, as if deliberately trying to lure them in.

The two ran breathlessly before finally catching up with the car.

But upon closer inspection, there was no one left in the car.

Even the trunk was opened
The two of them looked up at the same time, their eyes filled with terror.

The body they stole has been stolen again!?

"What the hell"

"Where's the body?!"

0:12
'It's almost time, it should be around this time.'

Sunzhou.

City Police Department, Detention Room.

Xu Liang looked out at the night sky and pondered in his heart.

He was caught.

The grave-digging lawyer was finally arrested by the police!
After arriving at the police station, Zhao Qian did not interrogate him, and the other police officers did not ask him any other questions related to digging up the grave.

It's as if their goal is simply to keep people locked up in detention rooms!
that's the truth.

Ma Hui and Zhao Qian's goal was to keep Xu Liang out of the case for the time being!

Just as Xu Liang was speculating...

A voice suddenly sounded.

"Squeak~"

The door to the detention room opened, and the faint sounds of footsteps and the voice of the "director" could be heard.

Xu Liang came to his senses.

Before long, a strange middle-aged man stood in front of him.

The two sized each other up.

Yoshihisa
"Ma Hui, Director Ma?"

Xu Liang suddenly spoke up.

The person in front of him was taken aback for a moment, then asked, "You know me?"

"Heh, of course we know each other. Without an order from the Municipal Public Security Bureau, how could Zhao Qian dare not hand over the body in the Sun Jin case?"

Xu Liang spoke calmly, directly stating his initial guess.

Upon hearing this, Ma Hui paused for a moment, then a relieved expression appeared on his face.

He had investigated Xu Liang and had an understanding of the other party's abilities.

And it is precisely because of this understanding that...
"Stop investigating."

"The police are investigating this case."

Ma Hui sat on the stool, looked at Xu Liang in front of him, and spoke gently.

"Ha, Mr. Sun and I have already signed a power of attorney. If I terminate the power of attorney, I will have to pay a lot of money."

Xu Liang smiled and sat in the detention room, looking relaxed.

"Director Ma, please stop joking."

Hear the words.

Ma Hui was silent for a moment, then suddenly stood up, sighed, and said in a deep voice:

"I advise you to stop investigating the case."

"Continue the investigation."

As he spoke, he paused.

Continuing the investigation would naturally be life-threatening!

He had two reasons for detaining Xu Liang here.

First, Jin Bo's death is still fresh in our minds. Perhaps Xu Liang will become the second Jin Bo as he investigates. The police's detention of him is also a form of protection.

two.
"Sun Zhou will have to handle this case internally."

Ma Hui spoke up.

The case is too big.

According to the information Zhang Fei provided, the environmental pollution that is currently the most concerning issue may not be the most serious one!
Jin Bo must have discovered something that led Luo Jun to kill him!
If the other party isn't afraid of the pollution investigation, then what exactly did Jin Bo find that made Luo Jun flip the table without even negotiating?

Ma Hui dared not imagine what would happen if the investigation continued.
If someone really exposes it
That iron fist of justice will smash Sun Zhou to pieces!
only.
"I don't trust your abilities."

Xu Liang shook his head and said frankly.

Don't believe them?

Ma Hui was taken aback, then frowned.

Before he could speak, Xu Liang said again:
"The reason for suppressing the news is simply because of concerns. What are those concerns?"

“People should have been relocated from Huangyan Village a month ago!” Xu Liang said.

The words fell.

The scene fell silent.

After a long silence, Ma Hui finally spoke:

"Where to relocate? Where will the money for relocation come from?"

"A single contaminated area cannot be identified in a short time."

“Xu Liang, Attorney Xu, you are not from Sunzhou, so you don’t understand Sunzhou.”

Ma Hui said in a deep voice, then changed the subject:
"Luo Jun is no good. Believe it or not, he's already thinking about how to target you."

"You'll be staying at the police station for the time being."

Luo Jun dares to kill.

The previous lawyer, Jin Bo, serves as a cautionary tale!
The reason he came here to talk to Xu Liang about these things was to make things clear to this smart man; otherwise, if he went out and reported it to the police, it would inevitably cause trouble.

only.
“I know, but I also know he might not be targeting me alone.”

Xu Liang paused for a moment, then suddenly asked a question in return.

"By the way, Sun Jin's body is at the funeral home, right?"

Ma Hui was taken aback, then immediately stood up with a serious expression.

"You went?"

Xu Liang waved his hand dismissively, without answering the question, and then looked around.

Suddenly, the topic was steered to another level.

"Did someone call my cell phone around 3 PM?"

"You didn't answer, did you?"

Xu Liang suddenly revealed a gloating expression.

Ma Hui paused.

He knew about this.

A good lawyer naturally needs a network of connections.

If the other party realizes they are police officers when they answer the phone, then things are likely to get a little complicated.

only.
"What do you mean?"

Ma Hui frowned; he instinctively felt that something was wrong.

Something's off about their tone!
"Whose phone is this?"

Xu Liang didn't give a direct answer, but instead calculated Yang Ruoxi's efficiency before finally speaking:

"Do you believe I'll be out before eight o'clock this morning?"

Going out before 8 o'clock?

In theory, even if the police act in accordance with the law, they can temporarily detain someone for 24 hours!
It hasn't even reached 24 hours yet at 8 o'clock!

Furthermore.

Even if it was 24 hours, Ma Hui didn't want anyone to leave.

The other party is determined to go their own way and will definitely continue investigating the case after leaving the police station!

They can't possibly send ten police officers to be by their side 24 hours a day to take care of them.
When
The case wasn't finished, and the person was gone instead, which is a bit of a loss. Besides, Zhang Fei's side is still investigating, so theoretically they don't need the other party's help.

"Mr. Xu, you should go to bed early."

"It's getting late."

Ma Hui remained expressionless as he turned to leave.

However, just as he turned around...
In a daze.
"dududu~"

A cell phone suddenly rang in my ear.

In an instant.
Everyone, including Ma Hui, looked down at the spot in Ma Hui's pocket.

There's a cell phone there, constantly vibrating!

Ma Hui paused, took out his phone, and looked at the caller ID, his pupils contracting slightly.

Xu Liang looked at him and smiled.

"Director Ma."

Answer the phone.
