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

Chapter 310 Court Hearing! [Seeking Monthly Tickets!]

Liu Jinshui had accomplices; this was a deduction Wu Chengjun made based on his seasoned experience.

But there is currently no trace of their accomplices.
"No accomplices, nothing at all."

Xu Liang looked at Wu Chengjun and spoke slowly.

Wu Chengjun wanted to say something more, but Xu Liang's expression turned serious, and he said earnestly:
"Have you finished your paper yet!?"

Wu Chengjun was speechless for a moment. His slightly wrinkled face, which showed signs of aging, revealed a hint of embarrassment, and he was speechless.

What academic paper can be written in a day?

Is something written in a day or a night really a thesis or just a pile of shit?!
Xu Liang, however, was heartbroken and said:

"Look at other teachers! They're so excellent. You're still so unhurried. What are you going to do in the future?!"

"Isn't all my daily crime-solving and reputation-building so that you can advance to the next level?"

"But you haven't even finished your thesis yet."

Hear the words.

Wu Chengjun immediately surrendered.

"I was wrong, I was wrong. I know I was wrong. I'll go back to my room and write now."

Wu Chengjun felt extremely ashamed and went back to his bedroom to start writing furiously.

"I am teachable."

Xu Liang showed a gratified expression, but then his expression turned serious.

Someone is investigating me.
They even managed to bypass themselves and Wu Chengjun, allowing themselves to be investigated without anyone noticing!

Although my information is actually quite easy to find, ...
The act of investigating someone is often driven by a strong purpose!
Even some people in the upper city, who felt speechless upon seeing Xu Liang, at most knew his resume, name, and how bold he was.

According to Professor Zhang, that group of people
"Investigating my connections, background, and family?"

Xu Liang frowned and muttered to himself.

He was investigated because of the case of filing a complaint, so the other party is most likely related to or involved in this case.

So it's related to Zhu Haoyi!?
"What's the situation with Zhu Haoyi?"

Xu Liang looked up at Yang Ruoxi beside him.

After pondering for a moment, Yang Ruoxi looked up and said:

"We've arrived in Shangcheng."

Have we arrived in Shangcheng?

So fast! ?

A hint of surprise flashed across Xu Liang's face, but after a moment's thought, he asked again:
When was the notice of case filing issued?

"Around three or four o'clock this afternoon," Yang Ruoxi said.

"When did Zhu Haoyi arrive?" Xu Liang asked again.

"Three o'clock."

After Yang Ruoxi finished speaking, she paused, then frowned.

You're notified at 3 PM, and you're already there at 3 PM?
If the case were filed in the Zhengyang City Court, there would be no problem, but right now this is the distance between Zhengyang City and the capital, which would take several hours by plane!

so.
"Who gave us the information before the case filing notice was even issued? The TV station? A reporter?"

Xu Liang pondered the matter, and one possibility after another came to mind.

Previously, he could have believed that the other party had seen the television report and came ahead of time.

But after Professor Zhang's reminder
"Who is this person?" Su Yu couldn't help but ask, "Who conducted the investigation?"

Xu Liang shook his head. If he had known, he would have taken Sun Zhongmin to block the door long ago.

just
Does anyone know anyone in the National Security Bureau?

Xu Liang suddenly asked a question, looking up and scanning the crowd.

Su Yu and Yang Ruoxi looked at each other, and finally shook their heads in unison.

The national security team is too far away from them; they can't reach them at all.

Fortunately, Xu Liang knew someone in the National Security Bureau. However, after taking out his phone, he suddenly paused, and after thinking for a moment, he finally made the call.

"dududu~"

June 19th.

The weather is clear.

After resting, Zhu Haoyi began to understand the ins and outs of the whole incident, while considering how to approach the Dongyang vegetable market without dispelling any suspicions.

During the same time period.

Xu Liang and several special police officers tried to contact each other again, but their efforts were unsuccessful.

He then focused his energy on the court proceedings.

June 23rd.

Mr. Duan, the head of a mining company in Beihai Province, excitedly provided Xu Liang with a list of Zhu Haoyi's criminal activities.

According to the list, Zhu Haoyi is guilty of a clear case of selling state-owned resources, even...
The reason why the coal alliance formed when it was initially selling coal to the outside world experienced a price collapse was that Zhu Haoyi took the lead in selling coal privately at a low price!
Having obtained some of the information, Xu Liang began to compile it into a booklet.

Mr. Duan had never been so proactive before. During the phone call, he even said that he would do anything to bring down Zhu Haoyi!
June 27th
There were only twenty days left until the first trial.

Zhu Haoyi tentatively went to the vegetable market, but unfortunately, he did not see anyone he was supposed to meet there, and only learned about them through other means.
"Have the National Security Bureau suddenly been able to utilize and release its resources?"

"What's going on? Why did things suddenly change?"

Inside the hotel, Zhu Haoyi drew the curtains, frowned, and made a phone call with a puzzled expression on his face.

The National Security Bureau has strengthened security measures, preventing people from getting to the vegetable market.
"do not know."

An echo came from the telephone speaker.

"You are currently the focus of attention in the upper city. Don't investigate rashly for now. Wait for the right time to proceed."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Haoyi fell into deep thought.

July 7th.

Xu Liang began a thorough investigation of Zhengyang Mining Company, examining everything from mining accidents to miners and the seized minerals. He investigated almost everything he could find. Although he had some information, the other party hadn't revealed any flaws. Until an unexpected figure appeared at the entrance of the courtyard house.

“Tuk-tuk-tuk~”

Xu Liang, who was sitting in the courtyard reading the book Professor Zhang had given him, suddenly came to his senses, stood up, and opened the door.

The moment the door opened.

Li Yang appeared before them; this was Zhu Haoyi's secretary!
That's right.

The man in front of him was none other than Li Yang, whom he had met in Zhengyang City. He looked at Xu Liang with a smile.

“Mr. Xu, I think we can discuss the compensation issue regarding Rundong Knitting Factory again. Perhaps there's some misunderstanding in this case.”

He did not come to surrender or show weakness.

They were simply testing the waters!

Xu Liang's attitude was
"Snapped!"

He simply closed the door.

Li Yang wasn't angry, but seemed to be deep in thought.

'Is the commotion at Beijing Guoan related to him?'

Li Yang fell into deep thought, his mind replaying the movements of Beijing Guoan over the past few days.

If the National Security Bureau is truly connected to Xu Liang, then their identities are definitely something the other side suspects!
After thinking for only a moment, Li Yang shook his head.

'The mining company has absolutely nothing suspicious about it; it has been operating legally and compliantly since its inception, and there's no way it could be traced!'

Immediately afterwards, Li Yang left the courtyard.

until
July 17th.

On the day the first trial was held!!!
In the Upper City, inside the Intermediate People's Court, countless people gathered.

This is the highest level of the intermediate courts in Donggu!

Even though it's just an intermediate court, the demeanor of its staff and the decoration of its buildings are no different from those of provincial high courts in other provinces!
Countless judges walk the streets, responsible for maintaining the machinery of 'justice'.

Three of them.
"Wow, this case is generating a lot of public discussion. The higher-ups have actually assigned it to the intermediate court."

Three men dressed in judges' robes walked and talked, one of them speaking in a deep, low voice.

"Logically, it should have been placed in the local court."

The other person also spoke truthfully, then sighed, his brows furrowed with worry.

They are going to hear a case called "The Case of Submitting a Complaint"!
Both of them are veterans from the Intermediate Court; one is the presiding judge, and the other is the deputy presiding judge. The third person is even a judge from the Higher Court who was seconded to the court!

It is extremely rare for such configurations to appear in the same case, especially in Uptown.

"It's difficult to get a trial."

Judge Liu murmured, a thoughtful look in his eyes.

He didn't think there was anything wrong between Xu Liang and Li Yang.

It's just that the information and evidence are hard to verify, since this is Shangcheng, not Zhengyangcheng, and all the evidence presented by both sides is information from Zhengyangcheng.

When it comes time to verify, Shangcheng will need to send someone to Zhengyang City.

Even according to Xu Liang, the results of the investigation into the chaos in Zhengyang City might not be accurate!

"By the way, does Judge Zhao have any experience?"

Judge Liu paused abruptly and turned to look at Zhao Yi beside him.

It's Zhao Yi who's going to deal with Xu Liang!

Although Judge Liu is not afraid of Xu Liang, it is still very necessary for him to learn from Zhao Yi!

"How do you think this case should be tried?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yi, who had been silent all along, suddenly twitched at the corner of his mouth, and the image of Xu Liang's words about "seeing each other in court" flashed through his mind.

Immediately, he took a deep breath and muttered under his breath:

"Trial? Do you believe that during the first trial, both sides were talking nonsense?!"

nonsense
Judge Liu paused, his brows furrowed, and an inexplicable aura of authority emanated from him.

What does it mean to talk nonsense?

It's not that I'm talking nonsense, but rather that I'm saying things that are irrelevant to the court proceedings!
For example, if you are asked to calculate what 1+1 equals, you insist on writing out a formula of 10x10.

This is utter nonsense.

However, in order to prevent such incidents from happening again.
“If that’s the case, the court can order his removal,” Judge Liu said.

Court time is very valuable.

Such uncooperative behavior deserves a beating, let alone a legally permissible eviction!

just
"Heh, I also want to drive them away." Zhao Yi's lips twitched, a sense of powerlessness rising in his heart.

"Do you think it's appropriate to expel the lawyer in the first instance of this case?"

He suddenly asked a question in return.

Judge Liu paused, instinctively about to say it was in accordance with the law, but then he thought about it again and was stunned.

Is it suitable?
From a legal perspective, it is appropriate.

But
"Don't forget why the plaintiff, Liu Jinshui, only came to Shangcheng to file a case!" Zhao Yi kindly reminded him.

The reason is that Zhengyang City has become utterly corrupt!

He wanted to file a case, but was beaten up without saying a word. He tried to go out and complain, but his hand was chopped off!

Despite the obvious presence of a second person at the 'suicide scene,' the police ruled it a suicide.

Zhang Shan's wife, whose fate was unknown, was falsely accused of absconding with the money.
"Think about it."

"If, during the first trial in this situation, the judge directly removes his lawyer from the courtroom, what will the public opinion be like?"

Zhao Yi spoke slowly, but what he said sent chills down the spine of the person who heard it.

What will public opinion be like?
It will definitely explode!
