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

Chapter 182 Public Opinion Erupts! On the Eve of the Trial! [A Long Chapter of 4,000 Words!]

3 month 14 day.

Two days before the trial began.

Inside the punk forensic identification agency, the person in charge was visibly shocked, with a look of horror in his eyes, as he held an autopsy report in his hand.

"The autopsy report is out!"

Hear the words.

Xu Liang, who was waiting in the lobby of the organization, suddenly woke up. His eyes sharpened instantly, and he immediately stood up and looked at the person in charge.

"Give me the autopsy report!"

As he spoke, he stood up, walked quickly to the other person, and took the report from his hand.

I glanced at the reports.

[Sampling source: Target organs: liver and kidney.]

[Supporting samples: muscle tissue, specifically from the inner thigh and chest.]

[Blank control source: Normal remains with no history of radiation exposure, name]

According to the investigators, the body was suspected of being exposed to cobalt-60. Therefore, this examination specifically targeted cobalt-60, and thus, gamma-ray spectrometry was used for detection, eliminating the need for a liquid scintillation counter.

Key sample data:

Xu Liang skipped over the above preparation process and immediately observed the final result.

In the past, autopsies performed by police and other institutions have revealed large amounts of heavy metals, leading them to believe that the deceased's organ failure was caused by heavy metals.

But that's the reality right now.
[It has been determined that Cobalt-60 exposure is a direct cause of kidney failure, liver damage, and ultimately multiple organ failure!]

这 是
It really is related to radiation!
In an instant.

Xu Liang's pupils constricted, and the hairs on his body stood on end.

This autopsy data, combined with my own verification, completely confirms the accuracy of the information left behind by Jin Bo!
That is
"Ten thousand tons of radioactively contaminated steel, mixed with cobalt-60, were made into various building materials and then transported to four cities, spanning multiple provinces."

Xu Liang's face was grim.

Luo Jun is incredibly audacious!
In their pursuit of profit, they disregard even the most basic morals and conscience; calling them utterly devoid of conscience is an understatement!

"Oh no, ten thousand tons...that's enough to demolish so many buildings!"

Wang Chao glanced at it from the side and immediately felt a chill run down his spine, his mind racing with thoughts.

He didn't need to think about how serious the matter was or how many people were involved.

I only want to do one thing.

That is it.
How much money would be lost if this building, constructed with 10,000 tons of materials, were demolished?
The people who need to be resettled after the demolition, the local impact, and the social uproar it causes all cost money!

Just thinking about it made Wang Chao's hair stand on end.

As for the third person.
The person in charge was completely dumbfounded.

He stared at the two men in front of him, whom he suspected of grave robbing, and his mind went blank.

radioactivity.
This is a corpse that can be dug up while grave robbing!?

Where did they dig it up?

His mother couldn't have gone to the nuclear power plant and dug up the body, could she?
"you."

The person in charge's expression hardened as he looked at the two men, his eyes revealing wariness.

only.
"Don't worry, Sunzhou currently has very serious environmental pollution."

Xu Liang thought for a moment and then gave a vague answer.

"This is the cause of death for this body."

pollute?

Radioactive contamination? Has a nuclear war broken out?

The person in charge frowned.

The fact that he was able to partner with others to open a forensic appraisal institution shows that he is still quite intelligent and not easily fooled.

just
In the past, after nearly ten bodies were filed, the police did not react much.

at the moment
"You can file a report with the police," Xu Liang said.

The person in charge looked at him warily. The two stared at each other for a long time before the person in charge finally spoke:

"I will."

According to regulations.

If an institution determines that a body died from radioactive material, it must file a report and submit a formal complaint.

Punk organizations are no exception.

Xu Liang waved his hand, indicating that he didn't care about it.

"Don't worry, we are not vicious lawbreakers."

"After all, who would dare to brazenly bring a corpse like this to investigate?"

We'll file the report; we don't care if the police come to investigate.

He has only one goal.

Finish the pollution case before it breaks out, incidentally uncover the steel case, and then take the money and leave before the heavy blow comes.

Otherwise, he would be unable to extricate himself for at least half a year, during which time he would have virtually no cases to take on and would have to rely on his savings.
As for the police investigation.
Xu Liang was willing to bet that the police, upon receiving instructions from their superiors and contacting the organization's registration, would instinctively think of something other than steel.

Rather, some of the companies involved in the environmental pollution in Sunzhou were involved in radioactive contamination!
Cobalt-60 has a wide variety of applications, with extensive use in ordinary industrial sectors alone.

For example, there are four main categories: industrial non-destructive testing, food irradiation, medical product sterilization, and material modification.

Among them, companies use this stuff in food and agricultural product irradiation processing, boiler pipes, and bridge steel structures!
If they're going to investigate, they'll investigate these things too.

within a short period of time.

The other party will only focus on environmental pollution and will not link radioactivity with Jinbo for the time being. Instead, they will investigate such local companies!

The trial will be held tomorrow.

Xu Liang looked at the report and began to think.

The trial will begin tomorrow.

If these things are produced before the trial, the environmental pollution case could drag on for a year or two before it's closed, and by then the law firm will probably be bankrupt!
It's about luring in a bunch of people, then taking the money and leaving.

They've already dug themselves into a quagmire, unable to operate normally for at least six months.
Let's see how they perform tomorrow!

As for
"By the way, do we have enough evidence in the pollution case?"

Wang Chao suddenly realized what was happening and looked at Xu Liang with a puzzled expression.

The pollution case should be distinguished from the steel case.

From the moment Jin Bo was identified, almost all the information focused on the latter.

The former.
Currently, all we have is groundwater, as well as autopsy data from Huangyan Village residents and some of the corpses.

This information is currently quite vague.

It's difficult to point the finger at Jinyang Steel Plant; at most, it only proves that there are environmental problems in Sunzhou.

but
"Take a good look."

Xu Liang put Sun Jin's autopsy report away and placed it in his briefcase.

He then took out the newspapers and other information he had bought in the past two days.

Wang Chao took a closer look and immediately widened his eyes.

[Breaking News! Breaking news: Lanshan Province has established a provincial supervisory team for the Sunju environmental pollution case, and has now been ordered to conduct an investigation within Sunju City!]

[Sweet-tasting spring water isn't actually 'sweet'! It could kill you. Follow our reporter to find out.]

In the Heishan area, local villagers discovered a deeply hidden pipeline, which turned out to be the culprit behind the environmental pollution. Investigations revealed that the pipeline connects to the Jinyang Steel Plant.

[Note! A water purification company once advertised "We are merely porters of nature," but has now issued a statement claiming that they are not porters of Sunzhou water sources, and consumers can continue to use their products normally.]

【.】

A flood of reports about environmental pollution suddenly appeared.

Wang Chao stared in disbelief.

He read one newspaper after another.

There's no need for Xu Liang to conduct an investigation.
The newspaper is full of evidence of Jinyang Steel Plant's environmental pollution!
Don't say anything else.

Even if Xu Liang simply brought the newspaper to court, the court could verify it and immediately declare the plaintiff in favor.

There's absolutely no need for you to do your own research.
After reading a series of newspapers.

Wang Chao's face suddenly lit up with surprise.

"The evidence has been delivered right to our doorstep!"

"Speak of the devil and he appears! We didn't have to worry about it at all!"

Done.

Wang Chao couldn't help but sigh, "Environmental pollution is like the wind; as long as someone takes the lead, countless others will follow suit and expose it instantly."

only.
Sun Zhou's report, however, tells a different story.

"Luo Jun revealed this himself." Xu Liang saw through the truth at a glance, his eyes full of mockery as he scanned the evidence.

Luo Jun has self-destructed!?
Wang Chao paused, then looked utterly astonished.

"What do you mean?"

He was a little bewildered.

My first contact with Liu Kun began at the hotel.

Wang Chao then concluded that the other party did not want the case to be exposed.

Especially after the other party stole the corpse and killed Jinbo, he became even more convinced of this idea.

Xu Liang suddenly told him that the other party was exposing himself and revealing all the information that was detrimental to him, and he really didn't know how to understand it.

"He is manipulating public opinion."

"Hehe, although I really don't want to admit it, but..."

Xu Liang took a deep breath, his brow furrowed with deep concern.

"He's an extremely intelligent man!"

Luo Jun is manipulating public opinion.

Can one manipulate public opinion even when it is directed at oneself?

can!
Just like when Zhang Fei brought together the entrepreneurs in the industrial zone, only to have it thwarted by Luo Jun.

His solution at the time was to find someone to incite the workers who were owed wages to riot.

These people wanted nothing more than to kill Luo Jun; they demanded money from him.

Needless to say, the hostility was obvious, and the disturbance was clearly aimed at Luo Jun.

But the result?

As a result, this highly targeted disturbance not only did not cause any harm to the other party, but also helped him get rid of Zhang Fei.

And now.
"Only when public opinion is strong will the provincial supervisory team exert greater pressure."

"Only under greater pressure will Sun Zhou further accelerate the investigation and rectification of the environmental pollution case!"

Xu Liang began to explain.

It appears that the other party is a suicide truck.

In reality, he is extremely shrewd!

This move killed two birds with one stone, putting pressure on Sun Zhou, Zhang Fei, and others, and even providing Xu Liang with favorable conditions for litigation.

"Do you believe that there will be a flood of pollution lawsuits against steel mills during this period?"

Xu Liang suddenly clicked his tongue and said.

"You mean"

Wang Chao understood and was immediately shocked:
"He wants to end all the trials quickly!?"

Environmental pollution.

Besides Sun Zhongmin, there are also Zhang Zhongmin, Li Zhongmin, and Zhao Zhongmin.

These people know they are being affected and are going to file lawsuits.

However, once a lawsuit is filed, the lawyer needs ample time to conduct investigations.

With each case, it's not a problem for it to drag on for several years.

But self-disclosure is different; it can not only allow Xu Liang to quickly end the trial, but also end the trials of these subsequent cases!
"Damn, that's incredibly shrewd!"

Wang Chao was horrified. A chill ran down his spine, and he instinctively took a step back, cursing under his breath.

When bad guys get cunning
That's so difficult to deal with!
"No, all that scheming and backstabbing, are they even smart enough to handle it?"

He suddenly frowned and said in a bitter tone.

To be honest, if Xu Liang hadn't broken down the words and fed them to him...
Wang Chao was truly naive to believe that this was a clue found by reporters and the public.

Even a slightly vague explanation would only give him the smooth sensation of knowledge gliding through the folds of his brain.
But after deep analysis
They all have one head and two eyes, how come these people are so cunning!
“You’ll get used to it. Ordinary prisoners are just evil; only the cunning ones can be called bad!” Xu Liang explained.

Luo Jun and Liu Kun were able to get to this point.

It's impossible for someone to be mentally challenged.

However, all this scheming and intrigue was in Xu Liang's presence.
"Heh, what an idiot who doesn't even know how to use luminol."

Xu Liang smiled.

The reason the other party did this was simply to cover up the steel case.

but.
He just so happens to hold the truth about the steel case in his hands!

If Xu Liang had been the one handling Luo Jun's case, he would have used luminol to find the information long ago!

But there are no 'ifs'!
The reality is that Xu Liang possesses incriminating evidence that could kill his opponent!

Think of this.

Xu Liang's eyes gradually narrowed.

tomorrow
Just wait until tomorrow, when the court hearing will conclude.

He can then completely extricate himself from this case!

Think of this.

Xu Liang took a deep breath and led Wang Chao away from the organization.

"Let's go, prepare for the court hearing!"

Wang Chao was pulled away.

only.
Just ten minutes after they left.

A group of police officers from the local police station walked in, and the head of the organization quickly went to greet them.

"According to the person who called the police, you have a radioactive corpse here?"

The lead police officer spoke with a serious expression.

The person in charge nodded quickly.

Hear the words.

The police were immediately in a real bind.

He was aware of the pollution in Sunzhou.

It's being reported everywhere – on television, by reporters, by the public, and in newspapers!

He thought that the deaths caused by excessive heavy metals were the limit of those heartless business owners.

Who would have thought that things would turn out this way?
Even radioactivity has been detected!
"okay, I get it."

The middle-aged policeman nodded and asked the other man to lead him to see the body.

At the same time, I was also wondering which company had produced the radioactive source.

But a pity.

He was just a policeman at a local police station, and even if the criminal police came, it wouldn't make a difference.

The other party has no way to deal with this invisible and extremely complicated thing to test.

However, considering the companies that cause environmental pollution today...
Instantly, a target for investigation was identified!
June 3.

at noon.

Cases related to environmental pollution have been pushed to the top.

The authorities activated an emergency plan, initially defining the area affected by the pollution and then implementing corrective measures.

Multiple media outlets provided real-time coverage!

Meanwhile, Luo Jun and Liu Kun further revealed irrefutable evidence against themselves.

3pm.

The anger of the citizens of Sunzhou has reached its peak. Despite official endorsement and attempts to appease them, they still need an outlet for their frustration.

While several reporters were covering the story, they suddenly discovered a summons from the court targeting a steel mill.

All of a sudden.

Recently, the first case in which Jinyang Steel Plant was sued for environmental pollution has come to the public's attention!
Several reporters, upon seeing the plaintiff's lawyer, tilted their heads to the side, clearly shocked.

They spotted a name that looked extremely familiar!

It's him again!

Nine p.m.

Xu Liang did not stay up all night to organize his work, but instead focused on getting his body into peak condition.

until
3 month 15 day.

All eyes in Sunzhou were drawn to it.

This is the first environmental pollution lawsuit concerning Jinyang Steel Plant.
"Start the trial!"
