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

Chapter 24 Three or two won't be weighed

Yang Ruoxi was a little confused about the lawyer in front of her.

She knew Xu Liang.

This month, Wang Chao kept mentioning this name. When she got home, she would mutter to herself that it was hard for her not to know it, and it seemed that her promotion was also thanks to the other party.

According to him, Xu Liang was practically an omnipotent superman!
But there is no Superman in reality.

"What was he thinking about?"

Yang Ruoxi frowned; she really couldn't understand Xu Liang's thoughts.

Can this case be overturned?
If it were possible to flip through them, those people who were just padding their resumes would miss out!
If you take over and can't turn things around, your career will be cut short!
After thinking for a long time, Yang Ruoxi finally stood up.

She walked toward the law firm across the street.

I'm just here to collect rent, why should I care about so many things?!

at the same time.

Hanhai City Basic People's Court.

Two figures stood together at the main entrance of the courthouse.

The bailiff lit a cigarette, his expression wistful. With each inhale and exhale, a wisp of smoke drifted away in the wind.

He looked at Chen Hua in front of him.

"Mr. Chen, this is the judgment of the basic people's court. If you are not satisfied, you can appeal, and then the second instance will begin."

"Can we win the second trial?"

"You need to understand that a court trial, frankly speaking, is a battle between the lawyers on both sides. The prosecutor's lawyer, Zhang Cheng, is very capable. If you don't hire a top-notch lawyer for a fee, even in the second instance, you can only rely on legal aid."

Looking at the bailiffs who kept explaining.

Chen Hua suddenly interrupted.

So, can we win?

His tone was not urgent, and his aged, wrinkled face showed no emotion, remaining very calm.

The bailiff was speechless for a long time before shaking his head.

"The probability is very small."

"How small?"

“Almost impossible.”

The bailiff sighed. "Brother, the original verdict will most likely be upheld. Even if you get lucky, it will be life imprisonment. But if you behave well, life imprisonment might be reduced to a fixed term, and you might have a chance to get out in thirty or forty years."

He works for the court and knows the difficulties better than the other party.

He really wanted to comfort the other person, but for a moment he didn't know what to say.

Finally, he patted Chen Hua on the shoulder and turned to leave.

Chen Hua didn't leave.

His emotions were surprisingly calm.

Even after the bailiffs left, Chen Hua didn't leave. He just stood there at the door, and no one knew what he was thinking.

He is now all alone, with no ties to him.

A sentence of thirty or forty years for Chen Dong is no different from a death sentence; he won't live to see the other party get out.

His daughter died, and his wife is gone too.

The kinship ties were severed long ago.

After a long while, Chen Hua suddenly smiled. He sat on the steps and tidied up his backpack.

He then put on his hat, slung his bag over his shoulder, disappeared into the night, and left the courthouse.

He left in the direction of the police station.

His target was indeed the police station.

It was 8:20 PM.

Chen Hua walked through the bustling streets and stood inside the quiet police station.

The staff member on duty in the lobby was dozing off when a figure suddenly appeared in front of him, startling him and making him more alert.

Only after seeing the person in front of him clearly did he breathe a sigh of relief and speak:

"Mr. Chen? Chen Dong isn't at the police station; he's here now."

Before the police officer on duty could finish speaking, Chen Hua suddenly interrupted him.

"I'm looking for Chen Jian."

"Chen Jian?"

The staff on duty were somewhat surprised, wondering what the other party wanted to see Chen Jian for.

According to the rules, it's best for him and Chen Jian not to meet. However, if they do meet, the police, hiding in the shadows, might still be able to find a lot of clues!

After a moment's thought, the staff member on duty spoke:

I'll apply for it.

Before he could finish speaking, a loud shout suddenly rang out from afar.

I've been looking for you for ages!

The staff member on duty was taken aback and turned to look.

But Wang Chao, who was panting heavily, looked at Chen Hua with a face full of surprise.

Chen Hua was stunned. He looked around, wondering what the other party wanted to talk to him about.

But it doesn't matter that he doesn't know.

Wang Chao strode over to Chen Hua in three quick steps, grabbed his arm without a word, and pulled him outside. "Let's go!"

Chen Hua frowned subconsciously, his heart tightening as he wondered if his plan had been discovered.

He tried to break free, but unfortunately, Wang Chao's hands were as firm as steel bars, and he couldn't break free at all.

When he came to his senses, he found that he had already left the police station.

He suddenly turned his head and looked towards the detention room.

Chen Jian is still there.
Seeing Chen Jian getting further and further away, Chen Hua's heart sank. He seized the opportunity to break free from the other's wrist and stood there, staring at him with a gloomy expression.

"What do you want to do?"

Wang Chao was still excited and turned around to shake his hand again.

Chen Hua was now vaguely angry.

But before he could get angry
"Do you want your sentence reduced?" Wang Chao asked.

"what?"

Chen Hua was taken aback.

"I said, do you want to reduce Chen Dong's sentence?"

Chen Hua was stunned. His usually calm eyes were now filled with confusion, and his mind went blank.

When he came to his senses, he found
I'm already inside a car!
That night, at nine o'clock.

A headlight shot out two beams of light that pierced the night, and the roar of the engine shattered the silence.

The car sped along the lane until it came to a stop.

"Squeak!"

I parked my bike on Hongfu Street, inside the only law firm with its lights on.

Before the engine could be turned off, the car door opened.

"Snapped!"

"Brother Liang, Brother Liang, I've brought the person!"

Wang Chao pushed open the lawyer's door and shouted excitedly.

A sweet voice rang out.

"What are you shouting for!?"

In the hall, Yang Ruoxi, who had been dozing off, was suddenly awakened and looked at Wang Chao with great dissatisfaction.

"Do you want to die?! Don't you even know what time it is?!"

Wang Chao gave an awkward smile; he had always been afraid of his older sister.

Turning to look at Xu Liang beside him, he said excitedly but in a low voice:
"Brother Liang, they're here!"

Xu Liang, who was sitting at the front desk, looked up, his gaze passing over Wang Chao and landing on Chen Hua, who was sitting behind him looking uneasy.

After a few days apart, Chen Hua's figure became increasingly hunched. He was so thin that he looked like a wild monkey in the mountains, and at the age of forty, he exuded the aura of decaying wood.

"Xu"

Chen Hua looked at the person in front of him who had personally sent his son to prison. He opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

Xu Liang waved his hand, indicating that he would speak.

"Want a reduced sentence?"

Chen Hua paused, wanting to say something, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he found that his emotions seemed to burst forth, and his eyes were already red.

"think"

Chen Hua suddenly burst into tears, tears soaking the wrinkles in his eyes.

He's heard far too many pieces of advice these days.
This is the first question asked him if he wants to, not if he can!

"fifty thousand."

Xu Liang remained expressionless as he stated a price.

"Fifty thousand yuan, I'll take the case."

"Leave the second trial to me!"

The moment the words fell, Yang Ruoxi's face was filled with astonishment.

Received
The other party really dared to take this case!?
Without explanation, the court remains unclear as to why the death sentence was handed down.

The mere fact that the second instance overturned the first instance's death sentence is a difficulty that ordinary people cannot withstand!
Not to mention the asking price is only 50,000!
There aren't many. At least since Yang Ruoxi started studying Falun Dafa, she has never seen or even heard of such people!

But now he has seen it.
Chen Hua burst into tears. He squatted on the ground, covering his face with his hands, and his sobs contained very complex emotions.

"Give it to me, I'll go sell it right now!"

"You'll pay after the lawsuit is over; you'll have the money then," Xu Liang said.

If he wins the case, Chen Hua will receive enough compensation to change his life, including the demolition compensation from the past, so he certainly won't be short of this 50,000 yuan.

He was too ashamed to ask for money after losing.

As for how to win the lawsuit
"Answer me one thing first."

Xu Liang narrowed his eyes, considering the time before the other party arrived.
He found a way to break the deadlock!

There were indeed no clues found regarding Zhang Cui's death, but that didn't bring Chen Jian down.

But there's a deadly knife hidden in the case!
This matter is obvious; without weighing it, it's at most three ounces, but if it's weighed...
Even 10,000 pounds couldn't stop it!!!

Did Chen Wei take someone else's place in high school back then?
