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

Chapter 252 Hopefully He'll Keep His Word [Requesting Monthly Tickets!]

"Let's make some plans!"

Looking at Xu Liang in front of him, Liu Hui grabbed both of his hands, a gentle smile on his face, his tone full of urgency.

Seeing this, Xu Liang smiled and looked at the other person meaningfully.

"Dean Liu, I haven't finished speaking yet."

"There was only one needle mark on Li Guang's body. What do you think a needle mark on the arm is usually used for?"

As things stand, there's a 90% chance that Li Guang died from being bled to death!
just
Liu Hui ignored Xu Liang's words, seemingly oblivious to the sarcasm in his tone, and continued:

"Unauthorized personnel cannot be allowed into the pharmaceutical company, especially in the research and development department."

"You need to think carefully before you go in."

Pharmaceutical companies' research and development related to medicines has already involved trade secrets.

The security is extremely tight, making it virtually impossible for ordinary people to sneak in. Most leaks of trade secrets originate from within.

Without an inside guide, you'd probably be spotted after only a couple of steps.

This is why Xu Liang wanted to find Liu Hui!

just
"No rush. Before that, there's something else I'd like to ask you."

Xu Liang spoke calmly.

Is there anything else? What is it?

Wang Chao rubbed his head, but unfortunately, even with his super brain, he was completely clueless about what had happened.

Liu Hui frowned and asked in a deep voice:
"what's up?"

Xu Liang didn't keep him in suspense and asked directly, "What caused Li Guang's stomach cramps?"

Currently, it appears that Li Guang's illness and death were caused by cyclophosphamide and blood tests, respectively, as well as stomach spasms.

The former had a clear conjecture, but the latter remained completely uninformed!
"I don't know." Liu Hui shook his head.

But seeing Xu Liang narrow his eyes, Liu Hui paused, then quickly added:
"He died from taking too much medicine!"

"However, this had nothing to do with the hospital. It started as a blood test to monitor the condition, but who would have thought that after taking the medicine, the patient would have convulsed, foamed at the mouth, and died acutely in a short period of time."

Sure enough, the other party died from taking drugs, and the drugs they took were not the generic drugs that Li Ye, Wu Fang, and Kong Jian smuggled!
Xu Liang's heart tightened, and he asked again:

What medicine did you take?

"do not know."

Liu Hui shook his head, then added, "I really don't know."

"As you know, Tianshan Hospital was established by a pharmaceutical company. In order to develop drugs, the pharmaceutical company often takes away the patients' physical data from the hospital."

"They even personally designed the treatment plans for some of the patients."

"That Li Guang was just like that!"

"The medicine he took came from a small white bottle with no label whatsoever. Unless I take it for testing, there's no way I'll know what kind of medicine it is."

Speaking of which.

Liu Hui paused, as if he had thought of something, and quickly added:
"By the way, the person who administered the medication is the head of the group's R&D team, and he's the only person I can contact."

I don't know what kind of medicine it is.

But they dared to feed it to Li Guang!

Upon hearing this, Xu Liang nodded, understanding the situation.

Then he looked up, no longer continuing the previous topic, and instead brought the matter back to the main point.

"Okay, then you make the arrangements!"

"Now?"

Liu Hui's expression was somewhat unpleasant, and he tentatively spoke.

To be honest, he really didn't want to help.

no way.

He'd bet that the other party was 100% after him to know the trade secrets of the Giant Star Pharmaceutical Group!

Those things worth hundreds of millions of dollars, if leaked, will almost certainly lead to criminal charges!
Even if they are not sentenced, they will still face a ban within the industry.

The consequences would be dire, since the industry ban is based on compensation, and the compensation would be so high that even selling his entire family wouldn't be enough to cover it!
Penniless and blacklisted, he could only slowly die as a nobody.
But a pity.

The other party has incriminating evidence against him.
“That’s right, right now!” Xu Liang nodded.

With 14 days until the trial, he didn't want to waste too much time.

Liu Hui's expression was uncertain; after a long silence, he finally spoke:

"Okay, but you must promise not to reveal anything about the hospital!"

Eight-year-old Li Guang was bled to death.
To be honest, even without embellishment, just releasing this statement alone would cause an uproar throughout the entire Arashiyama province!
After the scandal broke, no matter how well Liu Hui handled it, he would no longer be able to keep the position of hospital director, and no other hospital would dare to hire him in the future.

"I promise you."

Xu Liang responded without hesitation.

"I swear on my lawyer's oath that as long as you do as I say, I will not reveal a single thing about the hospital!"

Then he added, trying to reassure her:
"Don't worry, I'm a defense attorney, and the target is only Juxing Pharmaceutical Group!"

Looking at his serious and earnest face...
Liu Hui paused.

He chose to believe the other party.

He knew that what lay before him was not a choice, but a mandatory demand that he had to agree to!
Even if the other party goes back on their word, there's nothing he can do. His only hope now is that the other party will keep their promise.
"Okay, I'll arrange it for you."

Liu Hui took a deep breath, and then his eyes narrowed.

He pondered for a while, then took out his phone and dialed an unfamiliar number in front of Xu Liang.

After a long while, I heard the familiar sound of a telephone ringing in my ear.

"dududu~"

After a long pause, a 'thump' sounded from the speakerphone.

"Hey?"

A hoarse and unfamiliar voice came from the phone.

"Dean Liu, is there anything I can help you with?"

Although the voice was hoarse, the tone was very calm, and it was in Mandarin, spoken at a fairly good level. It would make one subconsciously think that the other person was a very learned person.

Liu Hui looked up at Xu Liang, but didn't see any obvious emotional fluctuation in the other person, so he said:

"A student missed the company's free health check-up a while ago, so I..."

"Do you have time to meet and check everything again?"

Free physical examination?

The man on the other end of the phone continued calmly:

"The collected data is almost complete. Dean Liu, you can make the arrangements yourself. The group will reimburse you."

He holds a high position in the pharmaceutical company, and even his so-called physical examinations are not handled by him personally, but are delegated to others. He only appears when needed.

so.
"Really not going to work?" Liu Hui continued to ask.

"Hehe, if Dean Liu has nothing else, I'll get back to work. There are still a few sets of data to record in the lab."

Upon hearing this, Liu Hui looked helpless and glanced back at Xu Liang.

'I refused.'

Xu Liang pondered for a moment, then blocked the phone line and whispered something in Liu Hui's ear.

After a while.

Liu Hui looked surprised. Although he didn't understand why he was being told to say that, he still did as he was told.

Liu Hui placed the phone to his lips and slowly said:
"This child is a bit special; he has moderate thalassemia, so we can't delay treatment for too long."

"I was thinking that the group could perhaps provide him with some free medical assistance, just like in the past."

He didn't know what those words meant.

I don't know why Xu Liang made him say that, but
next second.

The person on the other end of the phone then interrupted him.

"Moderate thalassemia!?"

The sound from the speaker was slightly amplified.

Liu Hui paused for a moment, then said, "That's right. I missed the physical exam before because I was receiving treatment for an illness."

The person on the other end of the phone asked again, "How old are you?"

Xu Liang made a gesture. Liu Hui immediately replied, "Eight years old."

An eight-year-old with moderate thalassemia!?
The scene remained silent for a long time, with neither side uttering a single word.

Just as Liu Hui was having doubts, he suddenly heard the other person's voice beside him.

"I don't have time these next few days," the person on the other end of the phone said.

Then he changed the subject and said:

"About four days later, after finishing the experiment tonight, bring people to the pharmaceutical company."

Upon hearing this, Liu Hui's face showed surprise and doubt. He looked at Xu Liang and then at his phone.

He was certain that Xu Liang had never met the other person before, yet he could still conjure up a condition out of thin air to change the other person's mind!
However, he didn't neglect the superficial matters. Liu Hui said:
"Okay, I'll bring people to find you four days from now."

"Ah."

The other party hung up the call.

"dududu~"

Liu Hui put his phone away and turned to look at Xu Liang. Just as he was about to say something, he saw Xu Liang smile and pat him on the shoulder.

"Yes, Dean Liu does understand the principle that those who are pragmatic are wise."

talking.

Xu Liang didn't stay in the car; instead, he pushed open the back door and slowly got out.

"Snapped!"

The car door was closed.

Xu Liang was about to leave, but suddenly stopped and turned back to look at Liu Hui gently.

"Dean Liu, don't get any thoughts of running away during this time. Such behavior is not good for either of us."

"do not worry."

"I'm a tight-lipped person and I won't reveal information without reason."

After saying this, Xu Liang left with a smile, turned around and led Wang Chao away from the parking lot.

Watching his leaving figure.

Liu Hui breathed a sigh of relief, then felt a chill on his body. He reached out and touched his back, only to find it was soaked with cold sweat.

Realizing this, Liu Hui's face immediately turned extremely ugly, and he slammed his hand heavily on the car steering wheel.

"boom!!!"

"Damn it!"

His face was a kaleidoscope of colors, constantly shifting between light and shadow, like a neon light.

He never paid much attention to hospital fees and blood trafficking, since the bulk of his business came from organ transplants.

But he never expected this.
Someone dared to prescribe medication to a corpse inside the hospital!
Furthermore, in order to obtain rare blood, Li Guang was literally drained until his body was too weak, so that when the drug took effect, his body couldn't withstand the emergency treatment!

Even more so.
This further led to him being held hostage and threatened by the other party!
After a long while, he took a deep breath, suppressed his emotions, and started the car with a gloomy expression.

"Om~!"

The engine roared to life, and soon the car slowly drove away from the hospital.

He didn't think he could escape if he tried to run away.

If you want to escape, the only way is to go abroad and go through customs.

But when Sun Zhou's incident happened, the customs inspection was so thorough that not even a fly could get through!

As for cars, he estimated that they would be arrested by the police before they even left the province, and airplanes would be subject to even stricter inspections!
Therefore, Liu Hui can only do so for now.
At the traffic lights.

While waiting at the red light, Liu Hui suddenly came to his senses. He looked at the traffic in front of him and muttered to himself.

"I hope he keeps his word."

Xu Liang left.

He is anxious right now, but that's because he's running around like a headless fly.

Now that he had a direction for the investigation, he was no longer in a hurry. He simply waited patiently to avoid alerting the enemy.

Six p.m.

The group gathered at a barbecue stall, eating and chatting casually.

"Has Dong Jianbao made any new moves regarding the sand gold business in the last couple of days?"

Xu Liang took a bite of the chicken leg and spoke as he ate.

Wang Chao, standing to the side, buried his head in his food and devoured it all at once.

Upon hearing this, Su Yu swallowed the food in her mouth, thought for a moment, and then said:

"It's still the same old story, they're bribing people from the mutual aid society, but the way they're doing it is quite peculiar."

"Special? How so?" Xu Liang asked.

“Unlike Yang Hao, who covered all the treatment costs, we will only arrange three meals a day and routine treatment. Even the ward will be a regular ward,” Su Yu said.

Xu Liang paused for a moment, then understood.

This tactic is similar to live-streaming e-commerce on the internet in later generations, where the seller constantly emphasizes "only xx orders left" to entice people to place an order impulsively.

Dong Jianbao's placer gold is an example of this.

By gradually reducing treatment benefits, costs can be controlled while internal disintegration can be rapidly achieved.

"Tsk, that's really ruthless." Xu Liang clicked his tongue and took another bite.

Yang Ruoxi nodded, "And it's all done by the charity. Even if it's taken to court, it's useless. They can easily get rid of it."

Even if Xu Liang takes this matter to court, what difference will it make?
It's normal for charities to do charity work for these people.

You can't always stop the other party's behavior. As for whether this charity is related to the Superstar Pharmaceutical Group, that's unknown.

"Is there anything we need to do?" Yang Ruoxi tilted her head and suddenly asked.

If the mutual aid society is truly disintegrated from within...
If the trial is reopened, it will be very detrimental to the case, and it is hard to say whether the other side will be able to overturn the verdict.

just
"The second hearing is scheduled for the 17th, it's currently the 3rd, tomorrow is the 4th, and counting from the 4th, there are 12 days left until the eve of the hearing on the 16th."

Xu Liang fell into deep thought.

After a long silence, he spoke:

"Don't worry about it. Even if the mutual aid society tries to collude, someone will always come up with a counter-argument."

"Inconsistencies between the two testimonies are bound to cause controversy. Judges are not fools, so they will not draw conclusions easily."

On the contrary, it's us.

There are two main points of contention in the case.

First, the deaths of Li Guang and Li Ye.

Second, the drug itself!

Nothing else matters!
so.
"Wait four days later!"

Xu Liang's eyes narrowed.

The answers to these two questions, and the cause of Li Guang's death, will all be revealed four days from now!
The group paused for a moment, then nodded.

"Ok!"

5 month 4 day.

Xu Liang began investigating how many people were interested in the mutual aid society. According to statistics, the number has now increased from three to seven.

Although it may seem like a small number, there were actually many people whose hearts were wavering, but Xu Liang did not pay attention to it.

5 month 6 day.

Dong Jianbao continued to bribe members of the mutual aid society, and as the benefits dwindled, some patients with financial difficulties could no longer bear it.

The number has doubled from 7 to 14!
Meanwhile, the moral blackmail imposed on the Superstar Group by the outside world was gradually resolved, and Chai Shirong and others breathed a sigh of relief.

May 7th.

Dong Jianbao pulled his hand away from Sha Jin and began to observe Xu Liang's movements.

But it's a pity.
No matter how they investigated, they found no trace of Xu Liang. It was as if he had vanished into thin air, and they had no idea where he had gone.

The two men frowned, but ultimately obeyed orders and continued to recruit members of the mutual aid society.

until
7:30 p.m.

The entrance to the Juxing Pharmaceutical Group's pharmaceutical park located in Qingshi City.

Several figures suddenly appeared in the night.
