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

Chapter 175 Each with their own ulterior motives! [A long chapter of 4,000 words!]

immediately.

Within another hour, Ma Hui received calls from various departments.

Few people in Sunzhou slept soundly that night.

until
"Why is Hanhai City demanding accountability?"

After making the call, Ma Hui was prepared to be scolded, but to his surprise, the other party asked him a question in a serious tone.

He glanced at the caller ID: Zhang Fei.

Zhang Fei is completely bewildered.

He was doing a good job with his investigation when suddenly, the people from Hanhai City contacted him privately overnight.

His immediate thought was whether the case was about to explode, but then he realized that it shouldn't explode at night.

Then he received a number of phone calls in succession.

Finally, Zhang Fei turned his attention to Ma Hui.

Don't even mention it.

Ma Hui sighed and then began to pour out his grievances.

Before long, the cause and effect were explained, and Zhang Fei didn't know what to say next.

His lips moved for a moment, and finally he let out a deep sigh.

Then came a long silence.

Until Zhang Fei suddenly spoke:

"This has backfired."

"The province is probably taking notice of Sunzhou's situation."

Ma Hui paused.

Xu Liang was placed under protective detention. Lin Fuqiang will definitely realize something is wrong with this.

After all, if it were a minor case, wouldn't the police just arrest the murderer directly?
Why would we need protection?
But if it's a big case and it's hard to arrest people, how come there's not a single word about it?

"How's the investigation into Jin Bo going?!"

Ma Hui asked anxiously.

"The matter hasn't been clarified yet, as it happened too long ago. All we know is that it's related to a batch of scrap steel from 17 years ago," Zhang Fei replied.

It was indeed difficult to investigate 17 years ago.

just
"How about checking with the merchants?" Ma Hui frowned.

“There’s no way to investigate further. It’s just an overseas shell company that imported the steel from the West,” Zhang Fei said.

Upon hearing this, Ma Hui fell silent.

Steel from 17 years ago.

It's steel that has been forged and smelted!
The transactions even involved individuals overseas, making it impossible to investigate them.
"We can't investigate any further."

Zhang Fei spoke.

"I reckon it won't be long before the case gets out, and people from the province will definitely come."

"It's just that we estimate that by then, all resources will be available to investigate 'environmental pollution' and improve the environment. The steel issue will have to be put on hold for at least a few months."

It's impossible to thoroughly investigate Luo Jun's true nature during this period.
That would only mean fining Luo Jun a small amount of money.

Hear the words.

Ma Hui gave a wry smile.

Since there's no way to check the steel
"Now then?" Ma Hui tentatively asked.

Zhang Fei remained silent for a long time before finally speaking with resignation:

"Make contact with Luo Jun. At the very least, we can't let him kill again!"

Ma Hui paused.

If the authorities don't investigate the steel, Ma Hui will cooperate with the pollution investigation. Since the authorities don't care about this matter, they will most likely give up the idea of ​​eliminating Xu Liang.

Right now, suspending the investigation and starting to clean up the environment is enough of a headache for them.

Not to mention.
What if something happens to Xu Liang?
"it is good."

Ma Hui, who was in pain from a toothache, nodded and agreed before hanging up the phone.

He then dialed Luo Jun's number at Jinyang Steel Plant.

"duo~"

Two o'clock in the morning.

Suburbs of Sunzhou.

"Holy crap, shorty, where's the corpse?!"

Where did the body go?

"I'm asking you a question, so why are you asking me again?!"

"I do not know either!"

"."

In the mountains and forests of the suburbs.

The short man and the tall man looked at each other, staring at one another, before glancing at the van parked in the distance.

It happened in the early hours of the morning.
They both moved the body to a place to destroy the evidence, but who would have thought that the last step would go wrong!
The body is gone!

"Did you see that person clearly?" the tall man asked the short man.

He was stunned, completely stunned.

The two of them took 100,000 yuan to steal the corpse. They finally managed to steal the corpse, but...
"I didn't see it clearly!"

"How come the corpse we stole was stolen? Was it intentional or what?"

The shorter man muttered to himself.

Even the tall guy was baffled.

"Could it be that someone had their eye on this vehicle while we were at the funeral home, intending to steal it, but we were faster at stealing corpses?"

"Before he even drove away, we loaded the body into the car and sped off with the man."

"They found the keys in the car and wanted to drive away, but they thought it would be too conspicuous. They also thought the body they stole was valuable, so they ended up carrying the body away?"

The taller one guessed hesitantly.

Logically speaking, it does make sense.

only.
"What should we do then?!" The shorter man's face showed anxiety.

If the other party was truly after money, they would definitely have called the police after discovering that the body bag contained a corpse instead of money!
“It’s okay, he’s a car thief and a money thief, he must have a criminal record, so he’s afraid to call the police.”

The taller man offered a word of comfort, and the other person finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"What about Attorney Liu?" the shorter man asked, his voice filled with worry.

Upon hearing this, the tall man clicked his tongue in astonishment.

The two stared at each other.

They asked me to steal the corpse.

They did steal the body, but it was stolen again.
Does this mean the task is complete?

"Stop talking nonsense, that's 100,000 yuan!" the tall man said.

Liu Kun only stipulated that the body should be destroyed after it was stolen, but he didn't stipulate that others were not allowed to steal and then destroy the body!
The shorter man, his face filled with terror, began to earnestly offer his advice.

"Aren't we being a bit unethical? Won't we be asking ourselves a case of 'the guilty will be punished'?"

The tall guy glared at him and slapped him on the head.

"Do you want morality or money?"

The shorter man immediately spoke up, "I want money!"

That's 100,000 yuan!
Hear the words.

The tall guy stopped talking nonsense.

He turned and walked a short distance away, then took out his phone.

"Dudududu~"

He pressed a few buttons.

Not long after.

The number was dialed on the mobile phone.

"Boss Liu, the body has been stolen. Sun Jin from unit 401 has been transported to the place where Jin Bo was killed last time. What about the final payment?"

The tall man spoke in a fawning tone.

Not long after.

There was a sound coming from the other end of the phone.

"The final payment will be transferred to your card in a few days after everything is confirmed to be in order."

"I'm going out of town for the next couple of days to lay low and avoid the limelight."

After he finished speaking, the phone was hung up.

The tall man and the short man looked at each other, only the ringing of the caller ID indicating that the call had ended could be heard.

"dududu~"

"Dududu~!"

Jinyang Steel Plant.

Inside a brightly lit office.

Liu Kun turned to look at Luo Jun beside him. He hung up the call, put his phone in his pocket, and nodded in acknowledgment.

"Boss, everything's taken care of!"

The matter is settled. Except Sun Jin's body has been disposed of!
As for the purpose of destroying the corpse...
"The clues the police gathered about Sun Jin will be useless. Ha, serves him right."

A disdainful smile appeared on Liu Kun's face.

Destroying Sun Jin's body is important; it can delay the investigation!
"For the past month, all the clues the police have been investigating regarding environmental pollution have revolved around Sun Jin."

"The problem is that the other party has always claimed that the body was never autopsied."

Liu Kun explained that even if a trial were to be held now, it would be in his favor.

Ma Hui and Zhao Qian are currently caught in a struggle between their left and right brains.

The other party has the autopsy report.

But if they claim there was no autopsy, and then the body disappears, where did they get the autopsy report?

If the autopsy report is true, it means that the police's previous announcements have been deceiving people all along.

Sun Zhongmin will definitely hold him accountable!

If the autopsy is not true, then the clues we have gathered will require a day or two of examination of the remaining bodies in Huangyan Village.

As for why they are dragging things out.
“Sun Zhou can’t drag this out for long.”

A glint of light flashed in Liu Kun's eyes.

Luo Jun nodded.

The environment is extremely polluted, and the person who most wants to expose the case is actually the culprit!

First, we need to understand a certain logic.

That means environmental pollution won't have much of an impact on Luo Jun; at most, he'll lose some money!

The steel case, however, could cost Luo Jun his life!

With the case currently suppressed and no one else overseeing it, Sun Zhou has plenty of time to conduct an internal investigation into the steel.
But what happens once the case is exposed?

At worst, a supervisory team from the provincial government will come to oversee the matter!

"Under the pressure of public opinion and the supervision team, Sun Zhou had to stop investigating the steel and was forced to concentrate all resources on investigating environmental pollution."

"Then."

Liu Kun slowly began to speak, explaining his subsequent plans.

What will happen next?
Sunzhou will be replaced by a new batch of people.

This group of people wouldn't be keeping a close eye on the steel case like Zhang Fei, Ma Hui, and others; in fact, they didn't even know about the steel case!
"As long as we can drag the case out until it's exposed, this crisis will be completely resolved for us!"

Liu Kun spoke up.

Luo Jun nodded and did not refute.

They can drag it out until the case is exposed, but they can't expose it proactively.

Otherwise, the other factories will definitely be dissatisfied, and if they fall into infighting, he will die even faster!

After all, these people had some suspicions about the steel case.
"correct."

Liu Kun suddenly remembered something and looked at Luo Jun again.

"Boss, do you want that lawyer?"

As he spoke, a fierce glint flashed in his eyes.

Now that the corpses are all stolen, it's time to settle accounts with Xu Liang!
only.
“He’s useful.”

"Let him handle Sun Zhongmin's pollution case and postpone the case."

Luo Jun shook his head and said that he already had a plan.

"lawsuit!?"

Liu Kun was surprised. "But Zhang Fei, if I'm not mistaken, kept putting the case on hold to buy time for the steel investigation, and the court was caught off guard. After they came to their senses, they started making things difficult for him, right?"

The facts are as he said.

Yesterday afternoon, Xu Liang was indeed given a hard time.

but.
“Ma Hui just called me, and his words were full of threats. He told me not to touch that junior lawyer.”

"I don't know what kind of background this person has that makes Ma Hui so protective, but there's another meaning behind his words, and that is..."

"The pollution case was discovered by the higher-ups, and Zhang Fei and his team ultimately failed!"

Luo Jun smiled.

He breathed a sigh of relief.

One and a half months.
It's been a month and a half!

The other party desperately tried to suppress the case, buying time to investigate the steel. But unfortunately, they couldn't find out the truth, and the case couldn't be suppressed any longer.

"so."

Luo Jun paused, collected his thoughts, and said:

"That lawyer is useful."

“Let him handle the pollution case trial. The faster the trial goes, the faster Sun Zhou can reshuffle things up after the case is over.”

Liu Kun understood.

As for whether the steel case could be given some time after the supervisory team came down, Zhang Fei explained.
Will not.

Public opinion cannot be defied!
So many people have died.

The residents of Sunzhou are bound to be in an uproar!!!
Furthermore, faced with the vague steel case and the extremely serious environmental pollution at hand, the supervisory team could only demand that Sun Zhou first make improvements to the environment!

Once the pollution case is closed, promotions and demotions will occur, with new people replacing the old.
Who still remembers the steel scandal?
so.
"Ignore him. The faster he attacks, the better it is for us!"

Luo Jun spoke, then paused, narrowing his eyes and revealing a fierce glint.

"Unless...he wants to investigate Jinbo!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Kun nodded.

"it is good!"

Since the case can't be suppressed, people from the provincial level are coming.
“I’ll go to the court hearing,” Liu Kun said.

The most important thing is to get through this difficult time as soon as possible!

at the same time.

"Whoa, Liang-ge, how did you get inside!?"

"I was wondering why I couldn't get through to you on the phone this afternoon, no matter how many times I tried. Turns out you're in the police station!"

"Oh, right, my sister called you. Do you want to call her back?"

"."

Three o'clock in the morning.

In the suburbs of Sunzhou, in front of a dilapidated temple on a desolate mountain.

Deep in the dark forest, Wang Chao spoke one sentence after another, his voice echoing in the night.

"I've already replied."

Xu Liang casually replied from behind.

After leaving the police station and asking Wang Chao to pick him up, he then informed the people in Shangcheng that he was safe.

There's no need to worry about the city continuing to invest resources in us or owing us favors right now.

The case is the most important thing!
We walked for a long time.

Xu Liang suddenly spoke up:

Where did you find the body?

He looked around, then suddenly frowned and asked.

Wang Chao successfully completed his mission and experienced the thrill of stealing a corpse!

Sun Jin's body has now been taken to the punk organization.

The other party did not ask any questions this time, and since Sun Zhongmin intentionally concealed the truth, the autopsy report was completed smoothly.

The police haven't discovered this yet. It's estimated that by morning, the other party will realize that Luo Jun stole the body!

“I remember it was just ahead.”

Wang Chao scratched his head.

He looked around and vaguely saw a blurry dark figure on the mountaintop, then his eyes lit up.

"found it!"

Wang Chao spoke excitedly, and quickly stepped forward.

As he walked forward
A dilapidated temple then appeared before him!

This was the temple where the tall man and the short man had driven to, and he brought Xu Liang back here.

Xu Liang stepped forward, looking thoughtfully at the scene before him.

"A very specific destination indicates that the killer was very familiar with this place, and it's highly likely a recurring crime scene."

He confirmed it with just one glance.

Most criminals will only choose a 'safe' crime.

For example, the body is dismembered in only one place, or the body is disposed of in only one place.

The reason isn't habit, but 'safety'!
so.
"If the reason for choosing to dispose of Sun Jin's body here is because it feels safe, then there must be other cases to support the other party's feeling of 'safety'."

"In recent years, only Jin Bo has died at Jinyang Steel Plant, that..."

Xu Liang narrowed his eyes and reached for his waist.

He then stepped into the dilapidated temple.

He pulled something out of his waist; the object was hidden in the darkness, and Wang Chao couldn't see it clearly.

Wang Chao only sensed that it was a water-spraying device, and as the other party pressed...
"Chichi!"

The sound of water spraying began.

Soon.
Blue fluorescence slowly emerged from the ground and walls!
这 是
"Luminol!?"
