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

Chapter 309 Someone in the upper city is investigating me!? [Requesting monthly votes!]

Will you see me in court?
These three words were like a demonic chant, causing Zhao Yi's face to turn red and then green, just like scrambled eggs with tomatoes, which were quite delicious.

After calming down, Zhao Yi suddenly became suspicious again and began to mutter to himself in thought.

"What exactly did that bastard find out?"

In this case, if the other party has no evidence, it will be difficult to make a judgment. In the end, the court may even rule in favor of Zhu Haoyi, which would be a loss for him.

As for how to determine whether the other party has evidence.
This one is simple.

Let's look at the period for submitting evidence!

During the evidence presentation period, we will see whether Xu Liang has presented any evidence in the case. If the other party has any legal and completely valid evidence, Xu Liang will definitely present it during the evidence presentation period!

Unless they want to pull a fast one like they did with Duan Feipeng's case.
"Forget it, this kid can't possibly cause trouble in the upper city."

Zhao Yi shook his head, clearing his mind of the jumbled thoughts.

This is the upper town.

The Upper City is known for its high population density; you could throw a brick out the window and it would hit a level 100 official!

With deep connections, high positions of power, and an extremely strict legal system, it is the heart of the Eastern Kingdom!

Using the same legal methods as Hanhai City to handle cases here is simply courting disaster.

After all, Zhao Yi couldn't refuse the evidence presented by Hanhai City and Qingshi City, and he had no choice but to accept it. But Shangcheng City wouldn't tolerate such behavior!

"Sigh, the human experimentation case is in two weeks, and then this case follows."

Zhao Yi was speechless and felt weak all over. He sighed and was about to take the plastic bag to pay the bill.

"Bill, please."

The shop owner looked down at the plastic bag on his scale. There was only one plastic bag, and it was empty!
The boss suddenly laughed.

"Are you here to cause trouble?!"

Zhao Yi: ?
Zhao Yi froze, looked down, and several question marks popped into his mind.

"No, I spent half an hour picking out the vegetables!?"

Zhao Yi exclaimed in surprise, his face full of shock.

Thief!
At night, in the courtyard.

"Chi~!"

"Whoosh~ Sizzle!!!"

"It's done cooking, let's put it on a plate!"

"."

Xu Liang stood in the kitchen, his hand, as strong as an iron clamp, constantly tossing the ladle, making the food in the pot seem to leave afterimages. A fragrant aroma filled the air, making people's mouths water involuntarily.

"Here it is!" Su Yu quickly placed the plate on the table.

Xu Liang then placed the hot and sour shredded potatoes from the pot onto a plate. The evenly shredded potatoes were very glistening, and if it weren't for the enticing aroma, it would have been a work of art!

When will the teacher be back?

Xu Liang called out as he prepared the dishes.

Hearing this, Su Yu, who was washing vegetables at the tap behind her, looked up at the wall clock.

After a moment's thought, he spoke:

"Soon, it's already 7 p.m., the teacher should be back by now."

Upon hearing this, Xu Liang nodded and then said:

"Then I'll go cook another dish."

After saying that, he got back into a flurry of activity.

In less than a moment.

“Tuk-tuk-tuk~”

A knock sounded at the door, and Sun Zhongmin stepped forward and opened it. In an instant, several figures appeared in front of him.

The person outside was Wu Chengjun and the rest of the project team.

Just as the group was about to say something, the door opened.
That intensely rich fragrance felt like a hand slapping them hard across the face!

"Gulu~"

Wu Chengjun sniffed, a look of surprise on his face, and said as he walked forward:

"It smells so good! Where did you buy all this? I didn't know there were restaurants like this in the city."

He had lived in the city for decades, yet he had never even smelled this kind of vegetable before!
"I just did it on a whim."

At this moment, Xu Liang came up with a plate of squirrel-shaped mandarin fish.

The mandarin fish on the plate was scored with decorative cuts. When it was fried in oil, the cuts instantly exploded.

The rich, thick sauce was evenly spread over every part, making it look just like a lifelike, golden squirrel!

"You have this skill too!?" Wu Chengjun was a little surprised.

"A reward for the teacher's hard work these past two days."

Xu Liang spoke with relief.

After speaking, he turned to look at the two people behind the other person.

Wu Chengjun quickly explained:

"This is Professor Zhang, and this is Professor Zhang's student, Li Jun, your junior."

Upon hearing this, Professor Zhang, who was immersed in the fragrance, finally came to his senses and gave Xu Liang a kind smile.

He and Wu Chengjun were sworn enemies.

For example, when Xu Liang was selecting 'guidance-level cases,' he confronted Wu Chengjun on his desk and even asked Li Jun to come up with a few guidance-level cases as well.

"Okay, Professor Zhang, have you eaten? If not, then..." Xu Liang asked politely.

"I haven't eaten! I haven't eaten!"

Professor Zhang spoke first, and then sat down on the stone bench in the living room as if they were old friends, looking forward to dinner!
Upon seeing this, Wu Chengjun's lips twitched, and he said:
How could you be so shameless!?

To be honest, Professor Zhang usually disdains to bow down for a pittance. In the past, if an enemy spoke to him like that, he would definitely turn around and leave!

But not now.

The smell was so enticing that every cell in his body was urging him to eat, but he simply couldn't open his mouth or move his legs!
"Let's eat." Xu Liang didn't pay much attention; he had made enough for everyone.

Everyone gathered around, and Wu Chengjun was the first to pick up a piece of squirrel-shaped mandarin fish and put it in his mouth.

Crispy on the outside, with a touch of oil on the tongue, the aroma fills the mouth; with a gentle bite, the tender fish meat is captured by the tongue.

good to eat!

It's so delicious, I almost bit my tongue off!

Wu Chengjun kept stuffing things into his mouth, as did Professor Zhang and Li Jun beside him.

But as he was eating, Professor Zhang suddenly sighed with emotion.

'Other people's students are always better. Three instructive case studies, one reference case study, handsome, capable, and they cook so well too.'

Thinking of this, Professor Zhang glanced at Li Jun beside him with a look of disappointment.

"Why can't you cook, kid?!"

He said this to Li Jun for no apparent reason.

Li Jun, who was engrossed in eating, looked up with a few question marks on his face.

Why should a law student like me know how to cook?!

Li Jun felt bewildered, but then turned his grief and indignation into appetite, and continued to devour the entire table with gusto.

Before long, everything on the table was gone.

"Alright, Lao Zhang, stop hiding it. If you have something, just take it out."

After eating and drinking to their hearts' content, Wu Chengjun spoke to Professor Zhang.

Upon hearing this, Professor Zhang rolled his eyes and took out some books from his briefcase.

"These are some private collections. Old Wu said you need them, and they'd be a waste if I kept them. Since you want them, you can take a look."

After he finished speaking, he handed it to Xu Liang.

Xu Liang reached out and took it, raising an eyebrow after reading it.

These things were surprisingly a collection of extremely niche and obscure books!

It's even possible that it was never sold to the public at all, and only a few copies were printed!
"This"

Xu Liang was a little surprised, but then he immediately understood why the other party did this.

It's highly likely that it was related to the human experimentation case. Back then, they needed to prepare the 'manuscript,' and the old man manipulated them terribly.

'Should we reduce the intensity in the future?'

Xu Liang seemed to be deep in thought, then looked at the treasure in his hand.

This thing is extremely precious!
Just as there are warlords in the military, there are academic warlords in academia!

Yes, the term "academic clique" is a niche term that is difficult to understand, but the fact is that academic cliques monopolize a large amount of valuable knowledge, which you cannot learn or even access.

And these few books in my hand.
That is the knowledge they possess!
Wu Chengjun must have put in a lot of effort to get his hands on this.

Thinking of this, Xu Liang's eyes narrowed.

Reduce the intensity?

No.

We need to intensify our efforts!!!
"Haha, thank you so much, Professor Zhang." Xu Liang accepted the gift without batting an eye, a slight smile appearing on his face.

"No trouble, no trouble."

Professor Zhang smiled, then glanced at the dining table, and reluctantly pulled the students outside.

"I won't bother you anymore after I've delivered the items."

As he spoke, Professor Zhang suddenly paused.

After a moment's thought, he turned to Xu Liang and conveyed a message.

"By the way, someone in Uptown is investigating your background. Hmm, it started about a day ago, through the case of filing a complaint. You've gotten yourself into trouble, kid?"

Someone in the upper town is investigating me!?

Why are you investigating yourself?!

Xu Liang paused, a look of surprise on his face. He hesitated for a moment, then instantly thought of a suspect.

Zhu Haoyi!
If there's anything that could benefit Xu Liang from investigating himself, the only person he can think of is Zhu Haoyi!
just
'Does Zhu Haoyi have such a powerful background? Does he know people in Shangcheng?'

'If I know you, who is it?'

Xu Liang pondered for a moment, then asked, "Does Professor Zhang know who it is?"

Professor Zhang shook his head and gave an answer: "I don't know, I'm just more perceptive and noticed it."

After saying that, he and his student Li Jun disappeared through the door.

The courtyard house has once again become deserted.

After a while.
"Although Old Zhang is a bit old-fashioned, he has a wide network of connections and resources."

Wu Chengjun slowly began to speak, then, after a moment's thought, added:
"His family has been a scholar for four generations. His parents are both highly educated intellectuals. His father was even involved in confidential work, and his mother is an academician."

"He has a lot of stuff in his hands. If you have nothing to do, you can go and beg him for some money."

It can be said that Wu Chengjun broke through his family's poverty with his bare fists, rising from a dark-skinned country boy to a professor in the city.

Professor Zhang comes from a scholarly family!

The network of connections built up over four generations was so extensive that even Wu Chengjun was unaware of the investigation into Xu Liang, while the other party had found out beforehand.
"What are you investigating for?"

Wu Chengjun suddenly frowned, looking at Xu Liang with a puzzled expression.

“I’ve taken on the case of filing a lawsuit with my head on the table,” Xu Liang said, then pointed to Liu Jinshui, who had remained silent.

"This is my client, the one in the newspaper."

Upon hearing this, Wu Chengjun was stunned and subconsciously looked at Liu Jinshui, who had appeared in the courtyard.

I was startled when I saw the other person's face clearly.

Good heavens, it really is that person who risked their life to file a complaint!

just
"Wait, didn't he have accomplices? Where are they?"
