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

Chapter 296 The Stinking 'Luggage'! Heading to the Upper City! [Requesting Monthly Tickets!]

"Zhengyang City is not like other regions."

"You cannot file a case."

"You cannot file a case."

In the case filing division of the Intermediate People's Court in Zhengyang City.

Xu Liang and Yang Ruoxi frowned as they watched the staff member who had left and returned to answer a phone call.

"Can't it stand?"

"Why can't a case be filed!?"

"There's clearly something wrong with this case, and your case filing division doesn't want to take responsibility?!"

This is the Zhengyang City Intermediate People's Court, where the two people arrived not long ago.

Initially, the communication between the two sides went fairly well.

It's even been implied by the court that they might open a criminal case!
Xu Liang was even somewhat pleasantly surprised at the time, since he didn't want to go to Shangcheng unless absolutely necessary.

why?
Because it's too far away!

The crime occurred in Zhengyang City. Even if a case is filed, what happens after the case is filed?

After the case is filed, there is a court hearing. The court hearing requires evidence, and the evidence can only be found in the place where the case was filed. In other words, if he wants to win the case, he can only come to Zhengyang City to investigate!
Constantly traveling by train and plane would be exhausting, even for the world's top criminal investigators.
Not to mention that the Upper City authorities would conduct thorough investigations and verify clues, making their operations even more complicated!

Therefore, if the court can be trusted, Xu Liang would rather sit at the card table in Zhengyang City.

Unfortunately.
Have you received a case filing notice from the police?

Inside the case filing office, a staff member looked at Xu Liang and asked him questions.

"No, but it's under review," Xu Liang said in a deep voice.

"I'm sorry, perhaps you could try applying to the prosecutor's office?" the staff member said.

An ordinary person might have gone.

But Xu Liang and Yang Ruoxi knew that the person in front of them was simply passing the buck.

The process for the procuratorate to file a case is far more complicated!
why?
Because most of the evidence presented by the prosecutor's office relies on the police's initial investigation into the case.

The problem is that the police in Zhengyang City refused to file a case, ruling it a suicide!
"Are you sure?"

Xu Liang narrowed his eyes and asked again.

The staff member nodded expressionlessly.

"determine."

Then he paused abruptly, and said:

"However, if you are willing to file a civil lawsuit, I can help you do so."

Civil litigation!?
Xu Liang frowned slightly, while Yang Ruoxi's pretty face darkened.

Who are you insulting?!
He turned a perfectly good criminal case into a civil lawsuit!?

A murder case turned into an economic dispute? Zhu Haoyi disappeared without a trace, and the person responsible became Zhang Shan's wife, who was suspected of being silenced and vanished!
"No, we will only pursue criminal charges!"

Xu Liang said in a deep voice.

"There's nothing we can do then. The existing evidence is insufficient to file a criminal case. The Zhengyang Mining Company that you are suing has no connection to this case whatsoever."

The staff member shook his head and said.

The only point of contention is the free trade between the two parties.

It would be normal if Zhu Haoyi bought the weaving factory for one yuan.

However, the price offered by the other party was even slightly higher than the market price!
Furthermore, all the legal and compliant procedures were in place, and the company appeared to be very honest, showing no signs of forcing Zhang Shan to sell the goods.

Even the transaction records exist!

The biggest mystery is the disappearance of his wife and money; the other party absconded with the money, leading to Zhang Shan's suicide.

"Perhaps I can file a civil lawsuit against you first."

The staff member suddenly began to coax and persuade:

"What if you develop further evidence and then turn it into a criminal case?"

Is the case being transferred from a civil to a criminal case, and then tried in a criminal court?

Xu Liangguang felt a headache just hearing about it.

The reason he was willing to turn the civil case into a criminal case in the Tianshan Hospital case in Qingshi City was mainly because the case was already set in stone from the beginning.

Secondly, the entire case was under their control, and they knew that it would definitely be transferred to a criminal case!
But the current case
If it really becomes a civil lawsuit, there's a high probability it can't be reversed later; it can only be handled through civil litigation.

"No need." Xu Liang took a deep breath.

"Don't you want to think about it?" the staff member asked again.

"Need not!"

Xu Liang continued, then paused, and said:

"Give me a receipt."

Upon hearing this, the staff member looked rather displeased, but still reluctantly handed over a receipt.

Seeing this, Xu Liang and Yang Ruoxi did not hesitate and turned to leave the Zhengyang City Intermediate People's Court.

It was 3 p.m.

The sun gradually set, and although it was not yet dusk, the sky gradually darkened.

Xu Liang stood at the entrance of the courthouse, looking down at the receipt in his hand.

"Tsk, I didn't expect to still get the information that the case will not be filed."

Xu Liang clicked his tongue and shook his head as he spoke.

He came to the court as a test.

But their attitude was very unfriendly!

I have received both copies of the "Notice of Non-Acceptance of Case" court receipt.

"With both of these factors combined, it's highly likely that the case won't be tried in Zhengyang City, but rather in Shangcheng."

Yang Ruoxi spoke up from the side.

just
Xu Liang suddenly thought of something and looked at Yang Ruoxi with a puzzled expression.

Where is your dad now?

Yang Ruoxi said, "To be a judge in the city."

"Then we..."

Xu Liang hesitated.

To have the case tried in the city, he needed to gather as many factors as possible, including receipts, police notifications, and maximizing public awareness of the case.

If it's just like that
What about your dad?

Xu Liang said suspiciously, beginning to ponder Wang Yao's situation.

Yang Ruoxi then spoke directly:

"It's nothing, why bother with this?"

"Anyway, my dad has been very busy this year, so one more case won't matter." Wow, what an ultimate filial daughter!

Xu Liang silently gave his subordinate a thumbs up, and then led him to a taxi parked on the side of the road.

The taxi sped along the highway.

Before long, they stopped near the Rundong Weaving Factory.

Xu Liang paid the bill and then pushed open the door to enter.

Inside the weaving factory's main hall, almost everyone was there, silently weaving what they were doing.

They sell brooms made from sorghum stalks, large brooms woven from thin bamboo, and even some baskets. The craftsmanship isn't great, but the products are of good quality and inexpensive.

just
"Even if I knit them, I can't sell them, but if I don't knit them, I don't know how I'll survive."

Liu Jinshui watched Xu Liang watching them work, a hint of sadness on his face, and spoke with a bitter tone.

In theory, people like them who have nothing are the type of people Zhu Haoyi fears the most.

Because they have nothing to hold them back, they are not afraid to kill.

But then again.
Even ants try to survive.

Liu Jinshui and the others also wanted to survive.
Even if it's just barely clinging to life, I still want to live.

"Ah."

Xu Liang squatted down and began to weave as well, imitating Xu Liang's actions.

After a long silence, he suddenly turned to Su Yu, who was standing silently to the side, and said:
"How's it going with the police?"

Upon hearing this, Su Yu stopped what she was doing and said:

"It's the same bureau chief as yesterday. He said he would personally oversee the review process."

"Without a clear answer, the appeal will not be approved."

Xu Liang spoke up.

He had considered this outcome, but it didn't matter. The more the other party did, the more cards he would have in his hand, and the greater the probability of filing a case in the city!

"And you, senior brother?" Su Yu asked again.

Xu Liang said, "The court wants to transfer this to a civil case."

Transferred to civil proceedings.
Su Yu paused for a moment, then didn't ask Xu Liangtong if he hadn't agreed.

His personality simply wouldn't allow him to agree to such a thing!

Liu Jinshui listened silently without saying a word until Xu Liang turned his gaze to him.

“Strictly speaking, Mr. Liu, you are not my client at the moment, and we have not signed a contract.”

"So, if you follow my method, even if something goes wrong, I can absolve myself completely."

talking.

Xu Liang paused, then said:

"There is a path before you, but it is a risky one."

"That means going to the upper city!"

"If you feel this is inappropriate, I can turn it into a civil case and help you obtain financial compensation."

How exactly should this case be handled?
It still depends on Liu Jinshui's own wishes.

Liu Jinshui didn't speak, but just numbly continued weaving what was in his hands.

Xu Liang, however, was not in a hurry.

If the case is lost, Zhu Haoyi may retaliate against Liu Jinshui and others, which is extremely risky and can be described as gambling with one's life.

Either Zhu Haoyi wins the case and is arrested, or Liu Jinshui and others face prosecution.

Their reason for risking their lives was simply Zhang Shan, to put it bluntly.

The two are not even related by blood, so choosing to protect oneself is not a bad solution.

"Mr. Liu, please consider this carefully," Xu Liang said.

After saying that, he got up and left.

Su Yu, Yang Ruoxi, and Sun Zhongmin also left, leaving only Liu Jinshui and the rest of the workers in the entire weaving factory.

Liu Jinshui remained silent, using labor to numb his mind.

To be honest, he had seen through it all long ago.

His life has been nothing but a struggle to survive, moving from one doghouse to another.

If someone slaps his left cheek, he'll turn his right cheek towards them.

It's important to know that the average lifespan of a homeless beggar while scavenging is five years!
In other words, they would usually die within five years, but Liu Jinshui did.
He gave up his so-called human rights and dignity, yet he has survived to this day.

If Zhang Shan dies, the factory will be seized.
He could still continue to eke out a living peacefully, moving from one doghouse to another, and finally die of old age by the roadside.
As long as you abandon Zhang Shan's ridiculous friendship, turn the matter into a civil case, and sell him, you can not only get money but also live without any threats.
Liu Jinshui's breathing gradually became rough, his movements became more forceful, and his face turned ashen.

until
"Crack!"

The bamboo was broken off, piercing his palm, and a drop of bright red blood flowed down.

Liu Jinshui snapped out of his daze, silently looked at his palm, then took a deep breath and said:

"Bring Zhang Ge's body back!"

The next day.

June 16th.

"Mr. Liu, have you made up your mind?"

Inside the weaving factory, Xu Liang stepped back in and looked at Liu Jinshui and the others in front of him, asking them questions.

Should we continue reporting this to higher authorities, or transfer it to a civil case?
Inside the weaving factory.

None of the workers, including Liu Jinshui, said a word.

Liu Jinshui's eyes were bloodshot and bloodshot; he simply raised his bag in his hand as a gesture.

A faint, fishy odor emanated from the briefcase.

The body cannot be brought to the upper city intact, but parts of the body can be taken.

Xu Liang's eyes twitched and his lips twitched.

What's in this bag? A head?

Judging from their condition, they must have been hacking away all night!

Liu Jinshui gripped his bag tightly, as if possessed, his eyes bloodshot, and a hoarse voice came from his throat.

"Uptown. When are we going?!"

Xu Liang snapped out of his daze, took a deep breath, and silently handed the train ticket he had prepared to the other person.

There's no way to file a case in Zhengyang City.

Zhu Haoyi's network of connections runs so deep that crime is almost the norm in this area; Xu Liang can't even get a chance to sit down and play cards.

but.
We can get a different table!
As for when to change
Xu Liang stared intently at the pungent, fishy-smelling bag in his hand, and said in a deep voice:
"Now!"

"Walk!!!"
