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

Chapter 297 Surely the box can't contain human heads! [Seeking monthly votes!]

Now, let's begin our journey into the upper town!

As the words fell, everyone present took a deep breath, their eyes gradually hardening.

Zhu Haoyi is deeply entrenched in Zhengyang City. They can't even file a case, let alone investigate it. Continuing to waste time in this godforsaken place is a complete waste.

The only way out is to head to the upper city!

just
"Are you going to take the train?"

Yang Ruoxi looked at the train ticket in her hand, a hesitant expression on her face.

She bought the train ticket last night. Ever since the tickets went on sale, she had been hesitant to speak, wanting to voice the questions that were on her mind.

"Won't they find out?" Su Yu asked worriedly.

Although the security level of the train station in Dongguo is not as high as in later generations, it has already been equipped with X-ray and other equipment, which has almost eliminated the possibility of Liu Jinshui risking his life to enter Shangcheng.

There's a very high chance of being discovered once you enter the station!

After all, these instruments are not cheap, and they are not just for show.

But then again.
"The equipment is too expensive, so it is only installed in stations of level three and above. For other stations, it depends on whether the local authorities are willing to provide it."

“I did some research when I bought the ticket yesterday. The Zhengyangcheng station is very small and the passenger flow is not large.”

"The overall testing methods still rely on manual labor, and it's not even 'every bag is checked,' but rather a random sampling method is used."

Xu Liang spoke slowly.

In other words, the probability of exposure will decrease significantly!

Yang Ruoxi was about to say something more, but Liu Jinshui spoke first.

Let's take the train.

Liu Jinshui spoke in a deep voice, his face expressionless, his eyes so gloomy they were suffocating.

Upon hearing this, Yang Ruoxi and the others fell silent.

"Let's go." Xu Liang nodded, then led his men away.

They didn't bring many people with them, only Xu Liang, Liu Jinshui, and four others. Before long, they drove to the train station.

There were hardly any people at the train station. It was early morning, and the staff seemed listless, with several even dozing off.

Liu Jinshui took a deep breath.

Xu Liang calmly went to have his ticket checked, showing no sign of nervousness.

The staff simply glanced at the ticket, verified the identity, and let him in, even yawning casually, without any intention of conducting a spot check.

"Next," the staff member said sleepily.

Liu Jinshui's heart tightened, and he took a step forward.

The process involved verifying my identity, and then I was taken inside. They did not ask me to check my luggage or anything like that.

Liu Jinshui felt somewhat dazed, as if it were unreal, and sat blankly in the waiting room waiting for his train.

He was still in a daze when the train arrived.

Until Xu Liang patted him on the shoulder.

"What are you thinking about?"

Xu Liang looked at him and said quietly, "Once you're in Shangcheng, you should know what you need to do."

Liu Jinshui snapped out of his daze, nodded, took a deep breath, and stepped onto the train.

As Liu Jinshui sat in his sleeper berth, clutching his suitcase, his mind drifted into deep thought.

Arrived in the upper town
Then Liu Jinshui has nothing to do with Xu Liang.

Nothing was caused by Xu Liang. He never revealed the matter of reporting to Liu Jinshui, nor did he ever think of having someone go to the city to file a case!
Everything I did had nothing to do with this lawyer; it's all Zhu Haoyi's fault!

"Old Zhang," Liu Jinshui murmured, his heart pounding like a drum, and he tightened his grip on the suitcase.

Xu Liang, on the other hand, lay on the opposite bunk, resting quietly.

until
He leaned half his body down from the upper bunk, hovering in mid-air and looking at Xu Liang.

The other person stared at Xu Liang for a moment, then suddenly a look of surprise appeared on their face.

"Hey, Liang-ge!?"

That voice sounds familiar.
Xu Liang paused slightly, his eyebrows twitched, and then he opened his eyelids.

The moment I opened my eyes, I saw a man hanging upside down like a monkey with half his body dangling from his body.

The other person was looking at him with a face full of joy.

这 是
"Wang Chao!?"

Xu Liang was slightly taken aback, all sleepiness vanished, and he was immediately surprised. He sat up and looked at him with a puzzled expression:

What are you doing on the train?

After the case in Qingshi City, Wang Chao was supposed to be recalled to Hanhai City and scolded. Why is he on the train at this time?

Wang Chao was about to explain.

Unexpectedly.
A middle-aged voice suddenly came from the berth above Liu Jinshui's.

"The higher-ups sent this kid to the city to claim an award, something about him single-handedly breaking into enemy territory and catching them red-handed."

There are people! ?

Liu Jinshui's heart tightened, and he subconsciously hugged the box tighter, lowering his head slightly.

Xu Liang looked up.

Then, a middle-aged man lying on the bed with his eyes closed, seemingly resting, was seen lying on Liu Jinshui's head. This man was...
"Captain Chen?"

Xu Liang raised an eyebrow and a slight smile appeared on his face.

"Are you all going to the upper city?"

The other party was none other than Chen Changchun, the captain of the Criminal Investigation Brigade of Hanhai City!
Hearing the noise, Chen Changchun opened his eyes, glanced at Xu Liang, then smacked his lips, feeling somewhat bored, but added:
"We have to go, and besides the police, the court and the prosecutor's office also need to send people, for example..."

Chen Changchun thought for a moment and then said:
"You know Judge Zhao, right? He went to Shangcheng the day before yesterday."

The case of human experimentation was exposed on June 1.

Now it's June 16th, and half a month has passed, but the public opinion has not only not calmed down, but has become increasingly serious.

Of course, the main focus is on the subsequent compensation plan and the judgment. The case caused considerable trouble, so Zhao Yi needed to travel to Shangcheng for meetings from time to time.

just
What puzzled Chen Changchun was...
What are you going to do in the city?

Chen Changchun opened his eyes, fixed them on Xu Liang, and raised an eyebrow.

During this period, even if he wasn't a lawyer, he would know that taking advantage of his rising reputation to develop his law firm was the most important thing.

Why waste time going to the city when you have nothing better to do?
Xu Liang began by saying, "Visiting relatives."

Visiting relatives!?

Doesn't this guy have all his relatives in Hanhai City? He doesn't have any relatives in Shangcheng.
“Little Lamb misses her dad, I’ll take some people over to check on her,” Xu Liang added, which dispelled Chen Changchun’s doubts.

Of course, there is still one question that remains unanswered.
"Is this person your friend?"

Chen Changchun turned to the side and glanced down at Liu Jinshui below.

He stared at the other person's face for a moment, his keen eyes immediately locking onto the mangled left hand.

Decades of experience made him realize in an instant that this was not an accidental amputation, but rather a severing by a cleaver!
Furthermore, the time since the hand was severed was definitely not long!

Within two months at most!

Chen Changchun narrowed his eyes, his gaze finally settling on the box.

"You've been holding that bag ever since you got on the bus. What's in that bag?"

The moment the words fell.

Liu Jinshui felt his whole body stiffen, as if his blood had frozen.

His breathing gradually became heavier.

until
"I came from working in Zhengyang City," Xu Liang explained simply.

As for what was in the box, Xu Liang didn't know.

He genuinely didn't know, since he had never opened the box to look inside, and Liu Jinshui had never told him about it!

Chen Changchun
"Zhengyang City?"

Upon hearing this slightly unfamiliar name, Chen Changchun paused for a moment, then immediately understood.

Zhengyang City
The people in that godforsaken place can do anything perfectly reasonable.

It's normal for ordinary people working there to be alert, given the high crime rate; those who aren't alert could really lose their lives!
The box couldn't possibly contain human heads, that's highly unlikely.
It's most likely just money inside.

These days, the first thing a bunch of honest, hardworking migrant workers do when they get on a train is to clutch their money tightly, afraid that it will be stolen.

Unfortunately, this behavior is no different from a lighthouse at sea.

It's practically telling the thief exactly where your money is!
"If you do this, you'll easily get checked by the railway police, and a bunch of money will definitely get stolen."

Chen Changchun lost interest, turned his body to the side, and yawned.

"Put it next to your pillow."

Liu Jinshui immediately obeyed and did as instructed.

Seeing this, Xu Liang smiled. Wang Chao still had a strong desire to chat, but unfortunately Xu Liang was too lazy to pay attention to this silly boy and continued to lie down and doze off for a while.

Around 1:30 pm.

Countless figures stood up and lined up in the corridor.

The train slowly pulled up to the platform, and the violent shaking caused those who were already prepared to stumble slightly as they stood at the door.

The box Liu Jinshui was holding made a 'thump-thump' sound, as if it were a dice being rolled.

Chen Changchun glanced at it, and although he had some doubts, he didn't meddle and continued to wait to leave.

Not long after.

"Chi~!"

The train doors opened, and countless people poured out of the train.

Xu Liang and Chen Changchun exchanged glances, then stopped on the platform.

"Okay, since everyone's busy, let's not get together. Keep in touch if needed," Chen Changchun said, smoking a cigarette.

Xu Liang agreed.

Their goals were different, so naturally they couldn't get together.

Chen Changchun was going to the police station, Wang Chao was going to see his biological father, and Xu Liang was wandering around.

just
"Hey bro, are you going to court too?"

With Wang Chao's outgoing personality, he can get information out of anyone.

Liu Jinshui, clutching the box, nodded reluctantly.

Upon hearing this, Wang Chao exclaimed with delight:

"What a coincidence! My dad works at the court!"

"Are you going to court to file a case or something? Brother, it's fate that we met. I'll ask my dad to arrange something for you."

While talking.

Wang Chao recalled the severed wrist of the other party and Chen Changchun's evaluation of Zhengyang City.

His super brain has begun to activate its super intelligence!
It is clear.

The other party has lost an arm and wants to sue the person who intentionally injured them!

"Mmm." Liu Jinshui remained silent.

But Wang Chao ignored all of that, simply patted him on the shoulder, and laughed:
"Come on, I know this place in the city well."

"You're new here, so you might not know where the courthouse is. Let me show you!"

Although his hometown is Hanhai City, he has lived in Shangcheng for quite some time. Usually, if he wants to see Wang Yao, he has to go to the court.

Even some senior judges knew him, and the position of the court was no joke; Wang Chao could get there with Liu Jinshui even with his eyes closed!
Finished.

Regardless of whether the other party agreed or not, he waved his hand, and a taxi stopped beside him. He pushed Liu Jinshui into the car and plopped down in the passenger seat.

Before long, the car slowly drove towards the courthouse in the upper town.
