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

Chapter 20 Court News!

In the living room, Xu Fuqiang and his son, who had been bickering, put aside their hostility.

Xu Ze twitched his nose and unconsciously walked towards the source of the fragrance in the air.

"What does it smell like?"

This smell... how should I put it?
Fragrant!
It smells delicious, but it's not greasy. Just a slight breath makes you feel hungry and your whole body is filled with a sense of hunger.

He hadn't taken more than a few steps when the kitchen door opened.

"Squeak~"

Xu Liang's figure appeared, and he was holding two bowls of rice in his hands.

"Make way, make way, make way."

As he spoke, he passed between the father and son.

Xu Ze stared intently at the fried rice in his hand, his eyes never leaving it.

Only after Xu Liang had placed everything on the dining table did he shamelessly approach Xu Liang, his face full of flattery.

"Brother, what is this?"

"Try the fried rice."

Xu Liang smiled, then turned and went to the kitchen to get the third portion.

When he returned, he found Xu Fuqiang and Xu Ze already sitting on either side of the dining table.

"Eat up," Xu Liang said as he sat down in the chair.

"Is this really for me to eat?"

Xu Ze looked down at the fried rice in front of him.

Each grain of fried rice gleams golden, loose and fluffy, coated with egg yolk. With a gentle stir, a fragrant aroma wafts out, irresistibly filling the nostrils.

The moment he smelled the aroma, every cell in his body instantly sent a signal of hunger to his mind!
"Gulu~"

Xu Ze couldn't help but swallow, his eyes fixed on the fried rice.

The next moment, before Xu Liang could reply.

He grabbed the spoon and put it in his mouth.

Take one bite.

The savory and delicious flavor instantly spreads across the taste buds, as if you've taken a sip of seafood soup, which flows from the tongue to the back of the tongue and then from the back of the tongue all the way to the stomach.

At the same time, an indescribable emotion brewed and spread within him.

This emotion is called sadness.

"Woo."

"Now this is what a meal should be like! This is what eating should be like!"

Xu Ze suddenly couldn't hold back, and two lines of clear tears streamed down his face. He choked up uncontrollably.

He tried to hold back, but his mind kept replaying the past, and he could no longer restrain himself.

Stir-fried mooncakes with cucumber, candied fried dough sticks, and homemade soy milk.
One by one, terrifying dishes came to mind.

Picky eater? Anorexia?

He just wanted to live, what did he do wrong?!
Thinking of this, two bitter tears streamed down Xu Ze's face as he kept shoveling fried rice into his mouth.

"Delicious, so delicious! This is simply a treat!"

"What kind of miserable days did you live before!?"

He spoke incoherently while crying.

Xu Fuqiang was stunned by his son's appearance.

"Is it so delicious?"

He muttered to himself, but still picked up the spoon and put a mouthful in his mouth.

With a slight chew, Xu Fuqiang's eyes lit up.

"What the hell? If you ask me, why would you even be a lawyer?"

"Why don't you switch careers and become a chef? Your skills are unparalleled, you'll be famous in no time!"

Xu Fuqiang exclaimed in admiration.

Xu Liang didn't say anything. He observed the two people's reactions and then tried it on his own.

It's really quite good; I'm afraid I've never had a better meal in my past and present lives combined!

He tasted it again carefully.

"Why do I feel a sense of sadness while eating?"

Xu Liang thought to himself.

There are many foods that can evoke positive emotions, but it's rare to find something that's both delicious and can trigger negative feelings.

I just don't know if I can get rid of these emotions.

Thinking of this, Xu Liang looked at Xu Fuqiang and Xu Ze with some worry.

Negative emotions accumulated over a long period of time are a huge burden on the mind, and can easily have a negative impact on mental health over time.

However, he only glanced at it and his worry vanished. "You little rascal, didn't you say yesterday that Dad's lost weight these past few days and needed to eat more? Let me have a couple of bites of yours, okay?"

"Huh? Other fathers give the best food to their children, why are you putting rice in my mouth?!"

Xu Ze said with a look of horror on his face.

"Dad, are you really my father?!"

Xu Fuqiang scoffed, "Other people's kids don't even know how to call their own father 'Old Deng' yet!"

"Old Deng, don't you know why you're called Old Deng?!" Xu Ze was furious.

“What does this have to do with me? Isn’t it because you’re unfilial that you won’t even give me a bite of fried rice?” Xu Fuqiang said.

"."

As they spoke, Xu Fuqiang and Xu Ze became tense again, baring their teeth and exchanging barbs.

Xu Liang was somewhat speechless.

This father and son are really a pair of clowns. If it weren't for Zhao Ying keeping an eye on them, they probably would have been climbing on the roof and tearing off the tiles by now.

He was just thinking about it when, as if on cue, Cao Cao appeared.

"Squeak~!"

The front door of the house suddenly creaked open, and at the same time, a voice came from inside.

"I could hear you arguing from far away, what's going on now?"

Zhao Ying pushed open the door and entered. She leaned against the wall with one hand, changed her shoes with the other, and stared at the three people with an unfriendly gaze.

Xu Ze burst into tears and threw himself into Zhao Ying's arms.

"Mom, Dad's a heartless man!"

"He even steals food from children!"

Zhao Ying remained unmoved. Just as she was about to flick the other person's forehead, her nose suddenly twitched.

"What does it smell like? It's quite fragrant."

She raised an eyebrow slightly, glanced around, and then fixed her gaze on the leftover food on the table.

After getting closer to the table, she casually took a bite of what was in Xu Fuqiang's bowl, and her eyes lit up immediately.

"You did it?"

She looked at Xu Fuqiang as if he were a rare animal.

"not me."

Xu Fuqiang shook his head, "Made of yarn, this kid's cooking skills are really good!"

Zhao Ying was surprised. She subconsciously looked at Xu Liang and then clicked her tongue in amazement.

"I didn't know you had this skill, you little rascal."

"I just did it on a whim."

Xu Liang gave a perfunctory reply, then stood up.

"Auntie, have you eaten? There's still some rice left for you in the pot. I'll go get you a bowl."

Zhao Ying had already eaten, but not much. The smell of the food had whetted her appetite.

She took the bag off her shoulder and sat down at the dining table with a smile.

"Then I'll give it a try."

Upon hearing this, Xu Liang got up and walked towards the kitchen.

He scooped out some of the fried rice he had left and put it in a bowl, then carried it outside.

But, just as I stepped into the living room...

A voice suddenly rang in my ears.

"Zizzizi~"

The large-screen TV suddenly emitted a series of buzzing sounds.

Xu Liang subconsciously looked at the television.

The television was broadcasting the news, a news program exclusive to Hanhai City. A male reporter stood on the screen, with...
Several police officers escorted a person dressed in prison clothes onto a prison van.

Xu Liang was slightly stunned upon seeing this scene.

The reporter's voice came through the loudspeaker.

"Welcome to Hanhai Daily. I am your host, Wang Yi."

"Recently, the Criminal Investigation Brigade of Hongfu District, Hanhai City, solved a homicide case. The victim's death was extremely heinous, and the murderer is currently being transferred to the court."

According to relevant sources, the court hearing is scheduled for June 28th at 5:00 PM.

Xu Liang stared at the television silently, his brows furrowed.

After a long while, a voice suddenly rang out.

"wrong."

Where is Chen Jian?
