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

Chapter 228 New Case! Blue Shield Agency! [Requesting Monthly Tickets!]

Someone intercepted it
This is understandable, since in some poorly managed law firms, colleagues will often steal each other's work.

All of this stems from self-interest. After all, when profits are readily available and can be obtained simply by sacrificing some useless morality, there will always be people who can't resist.

But then again, what if they managed to steal it from me?
Xu Liang couldn't tolerate that!

"Who stole it?!" Xu Liang's tone grew colder.

Kimchi factory.

Sun Chuan put the phone to his ear, placed his other hand on his hip, thought for a moment, then shook his head and said:
"I don't know much about him, I only know that he is a lawyer from a firm called 'Blue Shield Law Firm', which seems to be quite famous."

"Judging from their accents, they are probably not from Jiangcheng, but from out of town. They came here last night when the news was spreading."

As Sun Chuan spoke, a deep sense of helplessness appeared on his face.

"Since there's no illegality involved, only a moral issue, I have no reason to prevent him from contacting Qi Tao."

"It's a bit like a quack remedy; you'd better contact Qi Tao."

Xu Liang deserves the most credit for solving this case, arresting Zhao Hailong, and even eradicating the entire kimchi factory. Sun Chuan cannot help but be grateful.

But he really had no reason to stop this kind of private behavior.

Blue Shield Law Firm

Inside the law firm in Hongfu Street.

Xu Liang frowned and pondered for a long time.

There aren't many law firms in Jiangcheng. To my knowledge, there isn't a single one called Landun in the entire county-level city!
Is it from Hanhai City?

No, it's not in Hanhai City either.

Currently, the city of Hanhai is divided among three major law firms: Chengen Law Firm, Zhumeng Law Firm, and Xu Liang's Conscience Law Firm!

Of course, although there are three law firms on the surface, Chengen has always been the one suppressing Zhumeng.

Unfortunately, Chengen Law Firm's three core lawyers are now all inactive, so its strength has declined to a level similar to that of Zhumeng Law Firm.

Inside Xu Liang's law firm, Xia Yao and Wang Feiyu, among others, developed a relationship.
"We're not from Hanhai City either. Basically, no one in Hanhai City dares to mess with us."

Yang Ruoxi spoke up to remind her.

"They were all terrified of being beaten."

so.
"Qingshi City?"

In a daze, Xu Liang's eyes flashed, and the name of a region instantly slipped out.

"Judging from the timing, Blue Shield must have noticed it last night."

"But last night the news was only circulating in a small circle, namely Qingshi City, where the second trial was held, and Hanhai City, where Zhang Tao brought back the news. If it's not Hanhai City, then it can only be Qingshi City!"

Yang Ruoxi muttered, "The provincial capital."

How dare a law firm in the provincial capital do such a morally reprehensible thing?
Think of this.

Xu Liang paused, then spoke again into the phone:

"Officer Sun, please inform them."

I'll go over there at noon.

Hear the words.

Sun Chuan smiled on the other end of the phone and said boldly:

"No trouble at all, not at all. The Jiangcheng Police Station owes you a favor. If you ever need anything in the future, just let us know if it's within our capabilities!"

Xu Liang smiled, didn't refuse, and said directly:
"Okay, I'll definitely tell you when the time comes."

"Officer Sun, please continue with your work. I'll hang up now."

"Uh-huh."

After he finished speaking, he pressed the hang-up button. The moment the call ended, Xu Liang's face turned cold, his brows furrowed, and his hand gripping the phone clenched so tightly that his knuckles turned white.

The law firm staff looked at each other, exchanging glances, but no one uttered a word.

until
"They've picked the peaches, but I've been tricked."

"Ah."

Xu Liang suddenly chuckled softly, glancing at Yang Ruoxi and Su Yu beside him.

“You’re coming with me.”

"As for the others, they are taking on cases normally at the law firm."

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded, and Xu Liang said nothing more, simply pushing open the door and leaving.

Watching his retreating figure, Yang Ruoxi and Su Yu jogged after him.

The three of them got into the parked car.

The next second.
"Buzz!"

The engine roared to life, the front of the car turned, and then the four tires slowly turned, disappearing from sight in no time.

Watch this scene.

The people in the law firm were quite astonished.

"Tsk, this guy is really cunning."

Some people remarked that it was clear they had never anticipated this scene.

Wang Feiyu couldn't help but nod and said, "Indeed."

In the past, schools and teachers taught the application of laws without considering the human element. However, within just one month of graduation, they were first framed, and then the results of nearly two months of hard work by their law firm were almost stolen!

Just as they were feeling sentimental
Suddenly, a voice rang out from behind me.

"Da da da"

These are footsteps. Somewhat unsteady footsteps!

Hearing this commotion, Xia Yao, who had been discussing the matter, instinctively turned around and said:

"Senior, why are you back again? Hmm? Not you, senior?"

As she spoke, Xia Yao, who had turned her head, froze.

She initially thought Xu Liang had forgotten something and returned, but unexpectedly, the footsteps belonged to someone else.
a woman.

All I could see was the main entrance of the law firm.

A woman, around forty years old, with sunken cheeks, dull eyes, rough skin like sandpaper, dry hair, and bloodless lips, looking sickly and withered, pushed open the main door of the law firm and walked in nervously.

She wore clothes that were patched and faded from washing, and cloth shoes on her feet.

She was also holding a child in her arms?

It must be a child, about seven or eight years old, but it was completely still.

"How are you?"

Xia Yao hesitated, looked at the other person, and tentatively asked.

"Is there anything you need help?"

Hearing the commotion, the rest of the people in the law firm stopped talking and turned to look with curious eyes.

The middle-aged woman felt the gaze of more than a dozen pairs of eyes.

She trembled, and her hands holding the child tightened even more.

Xia Yao was a little puzzled, but she still asked again, "Do you need any help?"

Hear the words.

The woman seemed to snap out of her daze. Her throat tightened, she looked at the finishing touches, her lips moved for a moment, and then she suddenly spoke:

"Excuse me, is this Xu Liang's law firm?"

While talking.

As if remembering something, the woman quickly pulled out one hand, took out a torn newspaper from her pocket, and handed it over.

Xia Yao stepped forward to take a look, and the moment she got close, she suddenly smelled a rotten odor.

However, Xia Yao didn't pay attention; her attention was completely drawn to the newspaper, where the text was...
[A legendary lawyer! A beacon of morality! A detailed account of his career from his debut to...]

This is a news report about Xu Liang!?

"Yes, this is it. How can I help you?" Xia Yao nodded.

Hear this.

The woman's eyes instantly reddened, her lips trembled, and her voice choked with emotion as she spoke:
"I'm from Qingshi City. I want to appeal! I want to appeal!"

"I have money, I have a lot of money, I have 500,000, is 500,000 enough!?"

A case involving 500,000?

Xia Yao suddenly perked up, a look of surprise on her face.

However, she still patiently replied:
"Attorney Xu is not at the firm right now. If you want to find him, you'll have to wait a long time." Have to wait?

No, I can't wait any longer!

"No, we can't wait any longer!"

The woman suddenly became agitated.

It's been a long time since she arrived in Qingshi City; if she continues to wait...
"It'll rot!!!" the middle-aged woman exclaimed.

What rots?

Xia Yao was taken aback and subconsciously stepped forward to take a look.

And it was precisely because he took another step forward that the stench in the air became even more pronounced, lingering around Xia Yao's nose and refusing to dissipate for a long time.

She suddenly hesitated, took a half step back, and said:

"Excuse me, are you the client? Or rather, has the client arrived?"

The clients in civil and criminal cases are generally different. In civil cases, the person who signs the contract is usually the client, while in criminal cases, only the parties involved in the case are usually the clients.
Xia Yao sensed something was wrong. The woman in front of her should be involved in a criminal case, so the client was most likely not her.

only.
"he came."

The woman suddenly spoke.

The client has arrived? Where did they come from?
The people in the law firm paused for a moment, and then, as if realizing something, subconsciously looked at the child in the woman's arms.

And the next second.
"Wow~"

The woman suddenly turned the child over, and instantly a putrid stench spread.

As she moved, the face of the child in her arms appeared before everyone.

That was one.
It's starting to rot, emitting a foul stench, and its face is already swollen!

Xia Yao's pupils suddenly contracted, and her face turned deathly pale, as if an invisible hand was gripping her heart!

这 是
Corpse!

The body of a seven or eight-year-old child, already decomposed and stinking!

"Boom~!"

All of a sudden.

Throughout the entire law firm, everyone's mind went blank.

Looking at the rotting corpse, smelling the stench of decay, and watching the woman relentlessly closing in.

Xia Yao's eyes gradually filled with terror, and a sharp scream pierced the entire city of Hanhai.

"what!!!"

at the same time.

On the highway.

Xu Liang drove his vehicle at an extremely high speed, constantly overtaking other cars on the road.

About an hour later.

The white sedan then drove out of Hanhai City and headed straight into Jiangcheng's jurisdiction.

Xu Liang wasn't in a hurry to go to the police station.

Sun Chuan has already communicated everything he knows with him, and even said that the police didn't know about the case from the beginning, but Qi Tao took the initiative to tell him!

In other words.

The so-called 'thief' only contacted Qi Tao, but Qi Tao saw through his disguise and then told Sun Chuan to inform Xu Liang!

Therefore, there's no need to go to the police station.

Just go directly to Qi Tao!
Thinking of this, Xu Liang stepped on the gas again, and the car seemed to turn into a streak of light, disappearing into the urban area of ​​Jiangcheng in the blink of an eye.

About fifteen minutes later.

"Squeak~"

On Jianghua Road, in front of a dilapidated community, a white sedan came to a steady stop.

"Snapped!"

Xu Liang pushed the door open.

The three of them got out of the car and headed towards Qi Tao's residence. Yang Ruoxi and Su Yu behind them were still making phone calls to inquire about information about the Blue Shield Agency.

Qi Tao's house is very conspicuous, still that blue tin shed.

Xu Liang took three steps at a time and stood at the door in a few seconds. He put his hand on the doorknob and was about to push the door open and go in.

In a daze, his movements stopped.

Then, a rustling sound came from inside the house.

"Mr. Qi, our Blue Shield Law Firm has come with sincerity."

inside the house.

A middle-aged man in his thirties, wearing gold-rimmed glasses and a navy blue suit, who looked gentle and mild-mannered, looked at Qi Tao and said softly:
“Mr. Qi, we have come with sincerity.”

"Blue Shield Law Firm sincerely wants to help you. The firm will not charge any fees for this case!"

"Once you sign the contract, the law firm will immediately apply to the prosecutor's office and will subsequently seek justice for your son!"

Besides him, another man beside him added:
"That's right. In addition, the law firm will also provide you with a very generous sum of money in the name of charity!"

"The total is approximately 200,000, and the law firm guarantees you that you will receive at least 1.5 million in compensation in the case. If it is less, the law firm will make up the difference to you!"

Hear the words.

Qi Tao, however, was not pleased but angry. He sat on the wooden stool, his hands clenched tightly, and his weathered face darkened.

He spoke in a deep voice:

"I told you, I don't need anyone's help!"

As he spoke, his gaze was fixed on the two people in front of him as if he wanted to devour them whole.

He knew the other party's background.

The two men work at the Blue Shield Law Firm in Qingshi City. The former is Chai Shirong, one of their top lawyers, and the latter is Chen Liang, also a lawyer.

Last night, the two somehow found his address and knocked on his door.

After knocking on the door, the other party stated their purpose: to represent them in court free of charge.
"You only show up after the lawsuit is already over?!"

Qi Tao said angrily, his words filled with rage.

“My son’s case was on the market for half a month. No one in the entire Jiangcheng city took it, and no one in Hanhai City or Qingshi City was willing to take it either.”

"It wasn't until the case reached Hanhai City that anyone was willing to close it."

"The case is all closed now, nothing's wrong, and you guys are rushing to take over again!?"

He is angry now.

In early March, he felt helpless and kept asking for help, but no one was willing to lend a hand.

Until Xu Liang came, he worked for two months on a few hundred yuan, which even led to the law firm being shut down for half a month for rectification. During this period, the losses were at least six figures!
When the other party investigated all the suspicious points in the case, they even sent Liu Shengnan to jail!
The entire case was elevated to an unprecedented level, attracting the attention of countless people.
Chai Shirong and his group arrived, saying they were willing to provide assistance free of charge, and even willing to pay out of their own pockets!
"Get out!" Qi Tao shouted angrily.

Chai Shirong and Chen Liang, however, still wore smiles as they looked at each other, as if they weren't the ones being scolded.

"Mr. Qi, you should really think about it."

“If this case were handled normally, according to the law, you would only receive a few hundred thousand at most. But if we take the case, not only will we not take a share of the money, but you will also receive at least nearly two million in compensation!”

"A living person can't be bothered with money, can they?"

"Aren't you right?"

Chai Shirong tempted him, his eyes filled with greed.

"I told you, get out of here!"

"Get out of here or I'm calling the police!!!"

Qi Tao was furious and kept trying to shoo the two people away, but they stubbornly refused to leave, which made him feel a sense of desolation.

until
“Tuk-tuk-tuk~”

There was a knock on the door.

Qi Tao's expression was grim and uncertain. He had initially thought it was another group of the other side, but when he opened the door...
"Squeak~"

Xu Liang's tall figure appeared outside the door. He was expressionless, and his emotions were unreadable. He first looked at Qi Tao, and then...
Focus your gaze on the two people inside the room.

Xu Liang paused, a smile spreading across his face.

Let me introduce myself, my name is...

"Xu Liang".
