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

Chapter 174 The Allure of Connections! [A Long Chapter of 4,000 Words!!!]

"Director Ma, it's time to answer the phone."

Inside the detention room, Xu Liang sat in a chair, looking at Ma Hui, who was holding a mobile phone in front of him, with a polite smile on his face.

Ma Hui's expression gradually darkened as he stared at the caller ID.

He knew the person who made the call.

He's also a police officer, just a tiny bit higher in rank!
Logically, police officers should only call each other for work-related reasons, but given the current situation...
It's 1 a.m.

Who works at this time?!

That must be a private matter.
Ma Hui didn't have any private matters that would attract the other party's attention, so if there was anything he could care about...
Think of this.

In a daze, Ma Hui looked up and stared intently at Xu Liang in front of him.

Xu Liang didn't speak, only gave a polite smile.

Seeing this, Ma Hui forced himself to remain silent for a long time, and finally...
He took a deep breath!

at the same time.

Uptown.

Inside a traditional courtyard house.

The once quiet night was now shattered by shouts and yells.

"Lin Fuqiang, are you just a good-for-nothing?!"

"What kind of policeman are you?! A grown man disappeared right under your nose, and you still haven't found him after several hours."

"That's none other than your junior brother, a junior brother from your entire sect!"

"Have you been eating stale food in Lanshan Province for over twenty years?!"

"."

Several figures were standing in the courtyard, one of whom was holding a phone and cursing at the person on the other end.

And this person.
It was Wu Chengjun!

"Such a grown man, working under your command in your jurisdiction, and he went missing! Lin Fuqiang, what exactly have you been doing in your jurisdiction?!"

"If anything happens to your junior brother in your jurisdiction, not even a single hair, don't ever come back to see me again!"

Wu Chengjun was furious, shouting and spitting as he spoke.

Watch this scene.

Su Yu, standing beside him, nervously swallowed.

She felt a little scared.

On ordinary days, Wu Chengjun is basically an old man who enjoys retirement.

In school, any student can call out to the teacher and then stop them to ask a question.

Everyone's impression of him was that he was stubborn but gentle, but who would have thought that now...
There was even such a scene of someone flying into a rage!
"Teacher, I'm investigating, and I'm starting to make progress."

"Please wait a moment, one hour. No, half an hour!"

"I'll have my junior brother let you know I'm safe in half an hour at most."

A deep, middle-aged male voice came from the other end of the phone.

Judging from his voice, he must be at least 45, and he exudes an air of authority.

However, under Wu Chengjun's reprimand, he explained anxiously, showing no airs whatsoever.

"I've found out. Two policemen took my junior brother away from the courthouse!"

"Don't worry, I know Sun Zhou's Ma Hui. My junior brother won't lose a single hair!"

On the other end of the phone, a man named Lin Fuqiang explained repeatedly.

Upon hearing this, Wu Chengjun became even more furious.

He was about to continue cursing, but
Looking at Su Yu beside him, Wu Chengjun's lips moved for a moment, but he finally took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and spoke in a deep voice:
"Get it done as fast as you can!"

Upon hearing this, the person on the other end of the phone repeatedly assured him, "Definitely, definitely!"

Finished.

Wu Chengjun snorted coldly and then hung up the call with a beep.

Seeing this, Su Yu's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down, and she recalled the scene from yesterday afternoon.

According to his senior, Xu Liang, he and Yang Ruoxi's plane landed in Shangcheng at 3 p.m.

After landing, I immediately called him to confirm that we could contact each other.

but.
At three o'clock, the two discovered that no matter how many times they called, they could not get through to Xu Liang!
In an instant, the two sensed that something was wrong.

After confirming that even Wang Chao could not be contacted...
The two immediately sought connections to find people to help them.

It was at this moment that Su Yu realized just how strong the bond between Xu Liang and his master was!
His senior brother's name is Lin Fuqiang, who works as a policeman in Lanshan Province and is also known as the youngest police chief!
The moment she knew the answer, Su Yu immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"call"

Wu Chengjun glanced at her from the side, but his heart was still restless.

joke.

How could he possibly feel at ease knowing that his most precious student, his most prized disciple, had disappeared?

"Xiaoyu, are you sure your senior brother was taken away from the courthouse?" Wu Chengjun asked again in a deep voice.

Su Yu swallowed hard, thought for a moment, and then said:

"uncertain."

"But someone close to my senior called and said that at noon, my senior took the documents to the Sunzhou Intermediate People's Court."

"I couldn't reach anyone by 3 p.m.

Upon hearing this, Wu Chengjun immediately exclaimed, "That's it!"

As he spoke, his face darkened.

Without any hesitation, Wu Chengjun immediately dialed another number.

"Old Su, are you still in Hanhai City? Tell you and the people in Hanhai City about the environmental pollution there and Sun Zhou."

After he finished speaking, he made another phone call.

"Old Zhang, it's me, Wu Chengjun. Nothing much. I remember Sun Zhou was one of your students, wasn't he?"

"It's easier if you're my student."

“My student has disappeared in Sunzhou.”

"Okay, hurry up."

"."

After making many phone calls, finally...
Wu Chengjun's face was grim. He was just about to press the last call button when...
"Dududu~!"

Before he could even dial the number, the person called him first.

Caller ID: Wang Yao.

Wu Chengjun pressed the button and dialed directly. Immediately, a hurried voice rang in his ear.

"Old Wu, we've found a lead on the person!"

"Someone from the Sunzhou Intermediate People's Court saw that Xiao Xu got into a police car and should be at the Sunzhou Police Station right now. He's probably fine, so don't worry!"

Hear the words.

Wu Chengjun seemed to have been set on fire.

"Wang Yao, you old geezer, you're getting blinder and blinder as you get older!"

"How did you even do your job?!"

"I know you're targeting my students, but you can't do this to me! Do you even have the nerve to wear that suit?!"

"."

A barrage of witty remarks made Wang Yao's face flush red.

Wang Yao couldn't utter a single word in rebuttal.

He's really unlucky!

I was at the Supreme Court in Shangcheng District when I heard my daughter was coming. I was initially happy, but as soon as we met, she became anxious and said someone was missing, having disappeared right outside the courthouse.
Especially since it was Xu Liang who was missing!

Sure enough, not long after, Wu Chengjun pulled out his phone and launched into a tirade against him.
He was scolded for no reason and couldn't even express his bitterness.

Want to investigate?
Sunzhou is too far from the Supreme Court, so conducting a phone investigation would only result in waiting, especially since it was after working hours.
But no way.

Wang Yao is in the wrong!

"Don't worry, he'll be fine!"

Finally, Wang Yao gritted his teeth and spoke.

Wu Chengjun: "Get lost!"

Finished.

The call was immediately disconnected.

Wang Yao, at home in Shangcheng, looked at the phone that had been hung up and sighed deeply.

"How's Dad?"

Yang Ruoxi anxiously stepped forward.

Wang Yao, who had just been scolded, looked up at his daughter's anxious expression. He hesitated for a long time before finally speaking with a dark face:

"Don't worry, everyone will be fine."

Hear the words.

Yang Ruoxi breathed a sigh of relief, but Wang Yao's face grew increasingly dark.

Wang Yao then didn't sit idle either.

He continued to ask around among the people below him.

As the night went by...

More and more people who were still fast asleep were woken up by the phone, and were immediately confused, but also anxiously searched for answers.

Arashiyama Province capital.

Aoshi City. Inside an allocated residential unit.

One o'clock.

In the living room, Lin Fuqiang, sitting on the sofa, hung up the phone in one hand and breathed a sigh of relief.

He then frowned, groaning from the pain in his tooth.

"What's wrong?" his wife, dressed in her pajamas, asked worriedly from the side.

"You don't have to worry about it."

Lin Fuqiang didn't speak, but stared at the phone he hadn't dialed yet in his left hand. His gaze grew increasingly somber, and his emotions gradually brewed within him.

Just now, Wu Chengjun, who is also his teacher, called him.

According to the other party, their junior brother vanished into thin air!

Lin Fuqiang instantly sobered up.

But when he understood the whole story, he immediately realized that something was wrong.

Can an environmental pollution case lead to the disappearance of a person?

Lin Fuqiang frowned, his mind racing.

He already had some clues about Xu Liang's whereabouts, so he wasn't worried about his safety.

He knew Ma Hui well; he was indecisive, but he was a decent person.

just
"If it's protective detention, what does environmental pollution have to do with protection?"

"How can something as trivial as losing money be brought up to a life?"

"If not."

Lin Fuqiang's brows furrowed deeper and deeper, as he vaguely sensed that something was amiss.

unless
"Anything else?"

He murmured to himself, then felt a headache coming on.

The most urgent task is to find out where Xu Liang is!

He knows Ma Hui and knows that Ma Hui won't do anything, but that doesn't mean he knows all the police officers in Sunzhou!
Thinking like this.

Lin Fuqiang focused his gaze on the phone in his left hand.

Just as he was about to hang up.
The phone call was suddenly connected.

"Hello?"

"Forest"

A familiar voice rang out.

The other person was about to greet him, but unfortunately, Lin Fuqiang interrupted him immediately upon hearing the voice, his words filled with anger.

"Where are the people!?"

Sunzhou.

Inside the police station's detention room.

"Where are the people!?"

A furious shout came through the loudspeaker and echoed throughout the detention room.

The instant the two words were uttered.

Ma Hui felt a chill run down his spine, and his face turned extremely pale.

He looked at Xu Liang, but the other waved his hand, indicating that he should continue.

"What do you mean?" Ma Hui asked tentatively.

"I'm asking you, is there someone named Xu Liang at your police station right now?!" the voice on the other end of the phone said.

It really is Xu Liang
Ma Hui's pupils contracted as he looked at Xu Liang, his heart churning with turmoil.

There really are people.
He had done a quick check on Xu Liang's background and found that in all three cases in which Xu Liang appeared in court, he hadn't used any connections!
Furthermore, the information only states that he graduated from Uptown University.

Normally, graduates of such universities with connections would enter officialdom.

Only those who become lawyers don't need connections or background.

But this one in front of me.
"Director Lin, the police are placing Mr. Xu in protective custody. Sunzhou is currently handling another case, and given past incidents, the police are concerned for Mr. Xu's safety."

Ma Hui explained anxiously, a thin layer of sweat appearing on his forehead.

He really didn't expect it.

The other party actually knew Lin Fuqiang.
Who is this?
The first person in Lanshan Province to have a provincial employee ID number!

Why bother being a lawyer if you know him? Wouldn't it be better to go into politics?

Ma Hui's face looked as if he had swallowed a fly; it was extremely unpleasant.

But he still answered in a deep voice:
Five years ago, a lawyer named Jin Bo was investigating a case just like Attorney Xu, but…

"Let go!"

Lin Fuqiang said impatiently, "Just release them!"

"If there's danger, arrest the source of the danger instead of using protective detention!"

"I'm telling you, not a single hair on his head can be missing!"

Ma Hui's lips moved for a moment.

finally.

He took a deep breath and said, "Yes!"

Finished.

Ma Hui looked up at Xu Liang.

Xu Liang looked away, pretending not to see, and even moved further into the detention room.

Ma Hui:
Ma Hui gritted his teeth, covered the phone, and asked in a low voice.

"What are you doing!?"

"What are you doing?"

Xu Liang was completely confused and pretended not to understand.

"I don't understand."

It's true what they say: it's easy to invite a god, but hard to send him away!
Ma Hui glanced at his phone and finally asked, "What do you want?"

"I need Jin Bo's file!" Xu Liang said immediately.

Ma Hui:
You understand it pretty well, don't you?

"Fine!" Ma Hui said through gritted teeth.

Hear the words.

Xu Liang's face immediately lit up with a smile.

He walked out of the detention room and casually took the other party's phone call.

"Senior brother, I am your best junior brother."

"Haha, it's nothing, just a misunderstanding. Officer Ma was trying to protect me."

"Sorry to bother you, I'll make a call to the teacher later."

"Uh-huh."

The call ended shortly afterward.

Ma Hui breathed a sigh of relief, but then immediately felt a headache coming on.

The call ended, but things certainly won't end that easily.

I just wanted to be a good person, but who would have thought...
However, since the other party cannot stay at the police station, then
Are you sure you want to continue the investigation?

“I can tell you very clearly that Sun Jin’s case has nothing to do with Jin Bo.”

Looking at Xu Liang, who was receiving his things in front of him, Ma Hui suddenly raised his head and spoke.

Sun Jin and Jin Bo are not related.

but.
Do you know how much money Sun Zhongmin gave me?

Xu Liang suddenly asked a question, and Ma Hui was instantly stunned.

Before he could react, Xu Liang said again:

"one million!"

"My service has always been excellent value for money!!!"

Sun Zhongmin's demands are certainly not simply about losing money.

Since it wasn't a loss, and Xu Liang had received another million, he naturally had to act in accordance with Sun Zhongmin's demands!

Upon hearing this, Ma Hui paused for a moment and then fell silent.

Seeing that the other party was about to leave, Zhao Qian stepped forward, but was stopped by Ma Hui.

Not long after.

Xu Liang made a phone call, and a car drove up to the police station and then disappeared from sight.

Ma Hui remained silent, deep in thought, when suddenly his phone rang with a piercing ringtone.

He looked down and saw the caller ID: Dean Li.

I answered the phone instinctively, and a series of voices immediately filled my ears.

"Ma Hui, what did you do in front of my courthouse?!"

"Do you know who just called me?!"

"Who did you take away!?"

A series of hoarse, angry roars rang in my ears.

Ma Hui's eyes twitched.

He quickly reassured the other person.
