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

Chapter 269 Reporting to the City! [Seeking Monthly Tickets!]

One good thing about the Eastern Kingdom's judiciary is its 'recusal system'.

For example, if you were born in Hanhai City, and you become the president of the Hanhai City Intermediate People's Court, then your child cannot practice law or be a judge in Hanhai City.

If you become the president of the Arashiyama Provincial High People's Court, you cannot practice law or be a judge within the Arashiyama province.

If it's the Supreme Court, some municipalities and provinces can't do it either. After the establishment of circuit courts, it's basically impossible to do it nationwide!

The information presented in court also reflects this. If the witness is a relative, the credibility of their testimony will further decrease, and since Xu Liang and Wu Chengjun are master and apprentice, therefore...
"According to the law, we should recuse ourselves!"

Wu Chengjun said with exasperation:
"But why did you actively seek out your teacher for such crucial evidence!?"

Xu Liang quickly said, "Teacher."

“I am not your teacher, and I have no student like you!” Wu Chengjun interrupted him.

Xu Liang:
It's difficult to coax a girl.

Coaxing an old man is not an easy task!

Xu Liang thought for a moment, then changed his approach and suddenly spoke:

"Teacher, do you really want to see Feng Nan and the others die of illness in their hospital beds?!"

"Do you know that the mutual aid society has claimed 55 lives? There were more than a dozen children who were only seven or eight years old, and they were just a group of innocent children!"

"Do you really want to deprive them of their right to live?"

Wu Chengjun, who was in the courtyard, was taken aback, then stood up and quickly said:

"No way! How could you think that about me, your teacher? Do you think I'm that kind of person?!"

"And what does what you said have to do with the question I asked you?"

He was interrupted before he could finish his words.

"Then why did you say that to me, teacher?!"

Xu Liang's tone was filled with anger.

"Your teacher..." Wu Chengjun was speechless, just about to explain.

"You are not my teacher, and I, as your student, do not have you as my teacher!"

Xu Liang said angrily.

That sounds so familiar.

Wu Chengjun felt like he'd heard that phrase somewhere before, but he didn't care and immediately said:

"What I'm trying to say is that your methods are a bit... a bit... you know."

"What the hell?!"

Xu Liang was very dissatisfied and said to Wu Chengjun with a look of disappointment, "Teacher, have you forgotten the fundamental principles of our sect's conduct?!"

Wu Chengjun was a little embarrassed and quickly said:
"Of course I haven't forgotten."

The fundamental principle of conduct in our sect is to "have a clear conscience!"

"Teacher, do you know I have a clear conscience?!"

“I was busy running around outside, even facing false accusations and insults from others, and I still had to shamelessly hand over the documents to the plaintiff.”

"Just to buy some time for my client who is dying!"

Xu Liang said with great heartache:
"So, it's one thing for others not to understand me, but why are you like this, teacher?!"

"Do you think I want to be shameless and be ridiculed by others when I hand in my information?"

"Take it, take it! If you won't allow it, then take it. I'll send it to you right now. Just put this document in a safe and take it with you in your coffin a hundred years from now!"

"Don't you dare give me this document!!!"

Wu Chengjun felt somewhat ashamed.

He subconsciously felt that this was inappropriate after seeing the newspaper.

But when Xu Liang said that, his face turned red. He felt that he had not acted like a teacher at all, and had questioned his student over such a trivial matter.

Wu Chengjun immediately said:

"You're wrong, you're wrong. I'm not actually angry. I just feel that having relatives makes it easier for the opponent to find a point of attack."

"Your teacher understands you! Your teacher has always understood you!"

"What litigious scoundrel? Kid, we're not litigious scoundrels. We're just capable and quick-witted."

"As for the document, it's just an original manuscript. You can use it however you want. From now on, this thing is yours. You can use it to wipe your butt and the teacher won't say a word against it!"

For yourself?

Xu Liang was secretly delighted; he could use this to defend himself in the future.

However, he still said nonchalantly:
"No, I don't want anything related to this!"

"Good student, if you don't want it, I have no other way to compensate you."

Wu Chengjun's tone softened a bit, like a grandfather being scolded by his grandson.

"alright."

"Then I won't hold it against you. Of course, it's not because of the so-called original manuscript. You know what kind of person I am; I've never cared about that."

Xu Liang said with disdain, "The main thing is, it's good that the teacher knows he's wrong."

Wu Chengjun was very moved.

Sure enough, my students would never make things too difficult for me; they would just say a few words and that would be the end of it!
Looking at myself, the fact that I immediately questioned my student Wu Chengjun makes me feel uncomfortable.

He quickly tried to salvage the situation:

"By the way, what did you call me for?"

"Are you short of original manuscripts again? It's alright, your teacher has a few more. If all else fails, this old man will shamelessly borrow a few for you!"

"Teacher, do you think I'm the kind of person who uses connections to get ahead?!"

Xu Liang said angrily, then changed the subject, "As for finding a teacher..."

Do you know anyone from the National Health Commission?

National Health Commission?
This thing is also available in the city, but since I'm calling someone from Shangcheng, I should naturally ask the Shangcheng Health Commission. That means...
Wu Chengjun paused, and when the conversation turned to business, he also fell into thought, then said:

"I don't know any connections."

do not know?
Xu Liang was a little surprised, and then he heard Wu Chengjun say again:
"I only know a few deputy officials, and we can talk to them, but we don't have any personal connections."

Xu Liang: ?
I only recognize a few deputy positions!

Is this what you call having no connections?
Xu Liang's lips twitched. In a daze, he gained a concrete understanding of the old man's connections, but he didn't delay his business and continued:

"Teacher, you should have a general understanding of the case in Qingshi City."

"But... this is probably just the surface; I deliberately let it out."

Xu Liang said slowly.

He initially considered contacting the National Health Commission directly.

But there was nothing they could do. Once the National Health Commission contacted them, the fake drug case would definitely be delayed. Not to mention a month, even half a month was too much for Feng Nan and the others to afford!

Furthermore, since the experiment was not continued and would not have any impact, he decided to proceed with the first trial.

The first trial did not expose the pharmaceutical company's actions.

After all, given the circumstances, public opinion can be handled in advance.

But if he suddenly leaked it himself, the National Health Commission would be furious!
So he came up with a compromise: let the first trial end smoothly, thus providing insurance for Feng Nan and the others.

Immediately afterwards, the case was reported to the National Health Commission!

"The tip of the iceberg?" Wu Chengjun frowned, his heart pounding as if an invisible hand was squeezing him.

After a moment's thought, Wu Chengjun said in a deep voice:
"you sure?"

"The case in Qingshi City is no joke. If the media coverage of this case isn't controlled properly, it could get out of the country and become a spectacle for foreign countries!"

When it comes to children, no country is indifferent.

But even this is just the tip of the iceberg!

Wu Chengjun really couldn't imagine what level of case would warrant such a reaction.
Xu Liang's assessment of this was...
"Judging by the severity alone, it has already surpassed the Sunzhou Steel case."

Xu Liang told the truth.

Exceeding the steel standard!?
Suddenly, Wu Chengjun's pupils contracted, and his scalp tingled. He instantly realized the seriousness of the case.

The steel case has already spread overseas!

The authorities have been circling around this for months, and customs is still under martial law!

This is considered one of the most serious social cases in decades, but even so, it is not as important as a case of smuggling blood on the black market.

What's hidden in this case?
“Teacher, I can guarantee the truth of what I am about to say. It is all information that I have investigated. Apart from the criminal gang, my assistant, and a policeman, you are the only one who knows the inside story.”

Xu Liang took a deep breath and began to explain in a deep voice what he had investigated.

"Juxing Pharmaceutical Group was founded in Qingshi City 23 years ago."

"The founder, Han Chengguang, was originally the factory manager of a veterinary drug factory, and later..."

As time passes by.

A series of messages were also delivered by Xu Liang.

Physical examinations, leukemia, data collection, thousands of children, 32 types of drugs.
Wu Chengjun went from being on high alert to being surprised, then from being surprised to being shocked, and finally to being horrified!

"you sure!?"

Wu Chengjun's voice came from the speaker, noticeably louder than one octave.

Xu Liang said in a deep voice, "I'm sure."

"We now have detailed information and data about some of the victims, and you can have someone check it at any time."

"What I mean is that the National Health Commission should make arrangements for the victims as soon as possible before the second trial, and do a good job in public relations in advance."

Finished.

A silence fell between the two sides.

After a long silence, Wu Chengjun didn't press further, but simply said:
"Okay, I'll do it!"

He didn't ask any further questions, nor did he question them.

He knew Xu Liang's character; he never lied, much less boasted!
The same applies to steel processing and cutting/disassembly.
The current case will only be described as lenient, not severe!
The voice fell.

"dududu~"

The call was then disconnected.

Xu Liang breathed a sigh of relief, a feeling of great relief washing over him.

He felt as if the weight on his shoulders had disappeared.

Although delaying this matter wouldn't cause any major problems, he couldn't rest easy until it was submitted, feeling as if a mountain was pressing down on his shoulders!
Now that it's been handed over
"Ha, Blue Shield Law Firm. Chai Shirong loves fame, he loves reputation."

Xu Liang smirked, a hint of mockery on his face.

"Then I will grant your wish."

"I just don't know if you can bear this reputation!"

Uptown.

Wu Chengjun's face was grim. Without any hesitation, and without even putting on his coat, he immediately got into his car.

With his foot on the gas, he sped down the road at a speed that even young people wouldn't dare to drive at, despite being over fifty years old.

When he encountered traffic jams, he would simply leave his car in a place where it wouldn't be congested and run as fast as he could to the Health Commission.

Fortunately, the courtyard house where he lived was not far from all the important government offices.

Not long after, he arrived at the Health Commission, panting heavily.

A middle-aged man in a suit was walking around the lobby with documents in his hand. He was taken aback when he saw Wu Chengjun, and then quickly stepped forward.

"Professor Wu, what's wrong with you?"

Wu Chengjun looked up at him and said in a deep voice:
"Secretary Zheng, please contact Old Zhou for me!"

P.S.: Please vote for me! Please vote for me!
