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

Chapter 198 A Vicious Scheme! [A long chapter of 4,000 words!]

Who is that lawyer?
Upon hearing this, Zhao Hailong's brows furrowed with gloom.

He had heard about the other person's resume.
The Jinjiang Hotel corpse-falling case: a minor with no signs of foul play was sentenced to death.
There's no need to say more about the Sun Zhou and Luo Jun cases, nor to ask any further questions.

This case has blown up the world, involving tens of thousands of people and causing incalculable economic losses!
Not to mention, the Supreme People's Court released its fifth batch of cases in the past two days, a total of four guiding cases, and the other party accounted for three of them!

to be honest.
He had absolutely no idea how to sue someone like that.

But the good thing is.
“The boss has cultivated enough connections over the years that even if he has evidence, it won’t help. Besides, the law will favor the asylum center.”

Zhao Hailong fell into deep thought and began to consider the current countermeasures.

His brows furrowed.

Jiangcheng is just a small county town with no major leaders.

But the words came back again.

It is precisely because it is just a small county town that they were able to pull strings and live here. And there is only one shelter for the disabled in Jiangcheng. Therefore, even without connections, the court would normally be biased in their judgment.

And now.
"They should have signed a retainer agreement in the name of the law firm."

Suddenly, Cheng Jia spoke up, as if she had thought of something.

She was quite calm and quickly found a breakthrough.

"What?" Zhao Hailong frowned.

"The trial will begin on April 3rd, two weeks later."

"The time is very short, and a lawyer is required for the trial, so what I mean is..."

Cheng Jia spoke, and she frowned, slowly saying:
"Target his professional license!"

Targeting professional licenses?
Zhao Hailong frowned.

What is a professional license?
A name, like a lawyer's name, can serve as proof that a lawyer can accept a case.

This thing is certified by official judicial authorities. Once you pass the certification process, you will receive it and also become a member of the Bar Association.

Only with these two things can you accept cases normally!
If you were to get your hands on this thing
Once the practice certificate is suspended, the other party will naturally lose their qualification to practice, let alone represent Qi Tao in lawsuits!
"no!"

Zhao Hailong immediately rejected the idea, his mind filled with the flaws in the proposed solution.

"He did some things in Sunzhou, and it's highly likely that someone is watching him now."

"What if he has someone backing him?"

How did Zhao Hailong manage to survive in Jiangcheng for so long without being caught?
It all comes down to connections!

This is why he gained a deeper understanding of the relationships lawyers need.

The case involving Sunzhou Steel is too big. If anyone notices Xu Liang and tries to get his license, it will only backfire.

but.
"No, I'm not talking about him personally."

Cheng Jia shook her head and asked the other person a question in return.

"Under what circumstances are legal aid cases typically accepted?"

what's the situation.
Naturally, it's done in the name of the law firm!
In normal circumstances, the process of entrusting the distribution involves the judicial institution connecting with the association, the association then contacting a law firm, and the law firm then assigning personnel from within the firm to handle the task.

After winning a case, the law firm's reputation will be established!

Then
"Investigate the people at his law firm!"

Cheng Jia spoke, a shadow flashing in her eyes.

"I don't believe it. Everyone in his law firm is honest!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Hailong paused for a moment, then instantly understood what the other person meant, and his eyes lit up.

Yes.

They couldn't bring themselves to harm Xu Liang.

But what if it's someone from their law firm?
"Find a reason to bypass Xu Liang and target the law firm directly, ordering it to suspend operations for rectification. Then quickly find someone to represent Qi Tao in court, and the case will be decided in the first instance."

Zhao Hailong murmured to himself, the feasibility of this matter instantly flashing through his mind!

He didn't know how many people were working at the opposing law firm.

However, judging from the expansion scope of the opposing law firm, after finishing the Sun Zhou case, they will definitely spend money to launch a new round of expansion!

Otherwise, the other party would have no reason to take on a case that is purely for fame.

“This lawyer may have a very powerful backer, but his subordinates may not,” Cheng Jia said.

"It's very simple to deal with them!"

There are only two types of people they recruit.

The two groups are seasoned lawyers who have been in the business for a long time and newbies.

The former might be lured with benefits, but the latter... the latter probably doesn't know how deep the water is in this industry, so a little trap can be set!
"How?"

Zhang Yong swallowed hard; he was completely confused by what he was hearing.

"You should process the goods first!"

Zhao Hailong frowned and didn't let Zhang Yong get involved in the matter.

The other party is not a lawyer, so even if you tell them, it won't help, and it might even lead to the exposure of the matter!

"It takes time to get the license, and it might get exposed during that time. You should deal with the goods first."

Cheng Jia reassured Zhang Yong, and he finally nodded.

"Don't worry, these people don't know anything, they can't even run away. I'll handle it," Zhang Yong nodded and said.

Zhao Hailong ignored him and told the other party to get things done first.

After Zhang Yong left the shelter.

He then pulled out a phone.

"dududu~"

After dialing a certain number, a series of sounds will be heard in your ear.

Zhao Hailong waited patiently, and soon...
With a beep, the call was connected.

"problem occurs."

Zhao Hailong lowered his voice and spoke softly.

After a long while, a voice finally came from the other end of the phone.

"Something happened? What happened?" There was a pause on the other end of the phone, as if the person was puzzled.

"Xu Liang from Hanhai City has come to Jiangcheng and has taken on Qi Yu's case. This guy is a bit difficult to deal with. After discussing it with Cheng Jia, we've decided to target the practicing certificate. We need your cooperation."

You need to step in yourself.
After a long silence on the other end of the phone, the person finally spoke:

"Where is your factory manager? Does your factory manager know about this?"

"And... how do I get involved?"

His identity is very sensitive, especially considering the phone call he made with Zhao Hailong before the trial.
If Xu Liang finds out, even if the two didn't talk about anything, he can use that as evidence to attack them!

"The factory manager will agree."

"As for getting involved, you just need to act according to the law. We won't make things difficult for you; we'll arrange it in the next couple of days."

Zhao Hailong patiently began to explain.

Soon.
After the voice faded, the other party finally spoke:

"There's some risk involved."

After speaking, Zhao Hailong did not reply. After a long while, the other party changed the subject and said:

"This matter has nothing to do with me. You can do what you're told."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Hailong breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, showing no sign of being rejected.

"it is good."

"Okay, I need to take care of something. I'll hang up now."

The call was immediately disconnected.

Zhao Hailong looked at Cheng Jia and nodded in acknowledgment.

"It can be arranged now."

Unable to solve Xu Liang
You still can't handle the other party's subordinates?!
Subordinates, on the other hand, can completely drag the other party into the mire!
Cheng Jia nodded.

"it is good."

And so the conversation between the two came to an end.
Not long after.

One after another, lucrative commissions were sent from Jiangcheng to Hongfu Street in Hanhai City, to the Conscience Firm.

Several people who were responsible for answering the phone wrote down the cases and waited for others to take their turn.

3 month 18 number.

At three o'clock that afternoon.

Jianghua Road, inside a dilapidated community shack.

"His death was very abnormal."

Inside the decaying and dilapidated room.

Su Yu frowned as she looked at the documents in front of her, deep in thought.

Based on what was said before.

The biggest question surrounding Qi Yu right now is...
Why would the murderer kill him?! "It couldn't have really been an accidental fall, could it? The height is illogical, not to mention Qi Yu's face was smashed to pieces."

Yang Ruoxi, who was standing to the side, also chimed in.

Xu Liang didn't say anything, but just sat to the side, constantly observing the documents.

There are two things to do right now.

The questions are: Why was Qi Yu's face smashed, and why did Qi Yu die?
Known information is difficult to verify.

unless
"Go check on the body."

Xu Liang suddenly stood up, took a deep breath, his eyes blazing, and he had already made up his mind.

Normally, once an autopsy report is available, there is no need to go through the unnecessary process of examining the body.

why?
Because no matter how sophisticated your analysis, the court will only accept the autopsy report, which has legal force!

But this case is different.

The autopsy report is problematic!
There is a big problem!

He didn't really trust the contents of the autopsy report; he viewed every word with prejudice!

"Where is the body now?" Xu Liang asked.

"It should be at the funeral home, or possibly at a forensic appraisal institution."

Qi Tao's eyes dimmed; he couldn't even know the exact location of the body.

This is normal, since he had no idea that he had the right to take the body back.

Xu Liang pondered for a moment.

He turned to look at the autopsy report in front of him.

There are many types of data that are left during the inspection process.

The most recent one was...
March 16th!

That is, two days ago.

"The body should still be at the forensic identification facility."

"Tsk, looks like this report is going to be a bit difficult to prepare."

Xu Liang pursed his lips, and without hesitation, threw the autopsy report directly on the table. He was about to take Su Yu and Yang Ruoxi to the only judicial appraisal institution in Jiangcheng.

Qi Tao originally wanted to follow.

But it's a pity.
"You stay home for now, and I'll let you know if there's any further news."

Xu Liang, who had just boarded the car, looked at the other person through the car window and declined the other person's offer to follow.

There's no benefit for Qi Tao to be following along at the moment; in fact, it might slow down the investigation. It would be better to keep him at home.

Qi Tao paused for a moment, then nodded without hesitation.

Just as Xu Liang was about to leave, he seemed to remember something and quickly said:

"By the way, if Zhao Hailong contacts you anytime soon..."

"Ignore him. No matter what he asks, just say the case is still under investigation and you don't know!"

If there really is something wrong with this case.
Zhao Hailong most likely knows the inside story.

They certainly don't want to see the case being completely eradicated!
In this situation, the best approach is to exploit an information gap, preventing the other party from knowing the investigation results and progress, thereby causing them to lose their composure and reveal their weaknesses!

"Okay," Qi Tao replied.

Hear the words.

Without further hesitation, Xu Liang drove off into the distance.

Until the other person disappeared on Jianghua Road, not even a shadow could be seen.

Qi Tao then withdrew his gaze. He walked back to the iron shed with a blank expression, sat on the bed like a piece of rotten wood, and quietly watched time pass by outside the window.

And Xu Liang.
At this moment, it was still rapidly heading towards the judicial authorities.

Jiangcheng is a county town.

There is only one judicial institution, but it is sufficient to meet the daily judicial appraisal needs!
The appraisal report for Qi Yu came from the Jianghe Judicial Appraisal and Authentication Agency.

About twenty minutes.

A car stopped in front of the judicial building.

"Om~!"

The car braked and then turned off.

Xu Liang pushed open the door beside him, glanced up at the authoritative institution in front of him, then lowered his head and calmly pushed the door open again.

"squeak!"

The door opened.

Xu Liang led the three of them in.

The staff at the reception desk, who were waiting to leave work, twitched at the corner of their eye when they saw someone enter just minutes before closing time.

He then forced a stiff smile and greeted her.

Hello, how can I help you?

Looking at the person who walked up to him, Xu Liang paused and then interrupted him.

"No service is needed."

"I'm here to find a corpse."

Xu Liang spoke first, and before the other party could reply, he spoke again:

"On March 3, did the police deliver a body to the agency around noon, belonging to someone named 'Qi Yu'?"

The staff member paused for a moment, then quickly walked back to the front desk.

She quickly flipped through the records, finally nodded, and said:

"That's what happened."

"But you..."

The staff member looked at the three people in front of him with some suspicion and confusion in his eyes.

"I am Xu Liang, a lawyer from the Liangxin Law Firm in Hongfu Street, Hongfu District, Hanhai City."

Xu Liang first took out his practicing certificate and lawyer's license.

Then he presented the agency contract that had just been signed not long ago.

"The body of Qi Yu was found on March 3. Her father's name is Qi Tao. The case has been filed in accordance with the law."

"And I was the person who represented him in the investigation."

"I need to see the body now."

"Please make an exception."

Xu Liang began to speak, and as he spoke, he began to observe the staff in front of him.

The other party merely glanced at the identification, showing no suspicion, and nodded, saying:
"Okay, please follow me."

After saying that, she led the three of them toward the morgue.

The system for managing corpses within the institution is very sophisticated and far more standardized than that of a funeral home.

and so.

"Shua~!"

The morgue door opened.

More than a dozen morgues covered with white sheets appeared in front of the crowd, the oldest of whom had been dead for several months!

But they couldn't smell any stench.

The person in charge was not old, not even thirty, but he was already used to seeing this scene.

She looked around and then lifted one of the white cloths.

All of a sudden.
One sheet.
No.

Or rather, a pool of facial features appeared in front of me!

This person is...
Qi Yu!

On March 2nd, Qi Yu died from a fall at the kimchi factory in a way that defied scientific principles!

The other person was about 1.75 meters tall, 18 years old, and had a buzz cut. Judging from the photo Qi Tao provided, the other person was quite good-looking when he was alive.

However, his lower face was now nothing but a mass of flesh.

"This is Qi Yu. If you want to see the autopsy report, I'll get it for you."

The staff member said casually.

Unexpectedly, after these words were spoken...

Xu Liang immediately said, "Okay, then transfer me here."

The staff paused.

Then he sighed helplessly and went out of the morgue to get the report.

And the moment the other person left the house.
Xu Liang immediately withdrew his gaze, his expression becoming extremely solemn as he focused directly on the corpse!
