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

Chapter 314 Beast! A beast indeed!! [Seeking monthly votes!]

"Plaintiff, do you have anything else to say?"

On the bench, Judge Liu felt extremely troubled, his face full of worry.

Xu Liang smiled.

"Your Honor, everything the defendant says is merely speculation based on theoretical grounds."

"There is absolutely no evidence! Unless the defendant can bring Zhang Shan's wife to court to testify, we will sue them, as this has already violated the reputation of our client!"

You even filed an appeal!?
Why didn't they mention the issue of reputation when they were slandering Zhengyangcheng Rare Earth New Materials Company?

Zhu Haoyi was furious.

Unfortunately, they couldn't explain the fact that what the other party said was only half true. Otherwise, any explanation would only make things more confusing. If Xu Liang were to stir things up again, it would be like mud falling into their pants – even if it wasn't shit, it would still look like shit.
Xu Liang continued speaking:

"I swear on my honor."

“Every word we have said is true, and every speculation is based on more detailed information about reality!”

Xu Liang spoke up, then added two more sentences.

"Zhengyangcheng Rare Earth New Materials Company is currently cooperating with Zhengyang Mining Company to mine minerals in Yangshangou, where the weaving factory is located!"

"If you don't believe me, please have the presiding judge verify this!!!"

As soon as these words came out.

Li Yang and Zhu Haoyi were instantly enraged, their blood rushing to their heads, veins bulging on their foreheads, and their hands clenched tightly.

They figured it out.

Xu Liang did this on purpose!
These words from the other party may seem to be directed at state-owned enterprises, but in reality they are solely aimed at Zhengyang Mining Company!
They had been planning and searching for seven years in Zhengyang City before finally finding it; it might even be the only remaining unclaimed rare earth mine in Zhengyang City.

He was thinking of taking the opportunity to connect with state-owned enterprises, cooperate with them, and then use this as a bridge to get what he wanted.

And Xu Liang's involvement...
How could state-owned enterprises possibly dare to continue cooperating?!
This opportunity, which only comes once every seven years, has been ruined by the other party's half-truths and misleading words!

They couldn't even refute it.
Zhu Haoyi's face turned increasingly red and then ashen, as if the blood vessels in his head were about to burst.

As for whether Xu Liang's purpose was indeed so...
'Heh, I'll take it.'

Xu Liang glanced at the defendant's people and sneered inwardly.

Yes, he did it on purpose.

Although he was still unsure what the other party wanted to achieve by connecting with state-owned enterprises.

But it doesn't matter. He'll stop Zhu Haoyi from doing whatever he wants, and he'll fully support anything that's unrelated to him. There's no need to care so much.

As for whether it's anger, it still comes down to those two words.

Take it!

If it's a state-owned enterprise, the person in charge won't have any problems. After the case is investigated, the other party might even get a mine for free to boost their performance and get a promotion. They'll be too grateful to Xu Liang.

They're just going to get some criticism for now.

"presiding judge!"

Xu Liang's gaze suddenly sharpened as he looked towards the judge's bench, urging repeatedly:
"Your Honor, please verify the statements I have made above!!!"

Seeing the other party so actively verifying their information.

The audience paused slightly.

What's happening here?
Let's say that.

When you were in school, after you finished your homework, did you actively ask the teacher to check it so you could watch the fun?

As a teacher, I usually don't investigate students like this; instead, I look at those who are silent and seem guilty.

The current court hearing is a case in point.

Xu Liang's proactive approach led the audience to subconsciously assume that he had a foolproof plan and that the evidence he had gathered was genuine and required no further verification. Meanwhile, the silent defendant...
"No way, could it be that the rare earth new materials company in Zhengyang City is really plotting with the mining companies?!"

"Are these people heartless and cruel?!"

"I think so, otherwise the defendant should be refuting it now."

"So that's why someone would file a complaint. It turns out the local area has completely given up hope of survival, so the only option is to move up the social ladder!"

"Heh, that hand couldn't have been chopped off by itself; there must be something fishy going on."

"."

this moment.

After understanding Xu Liang's words, the entire audience instantly realized what he meant, followed by a hint of anger as they glared at the defendants.

The defendant.

"Kaka~!"

Zhu Haoyi clenched his fists tightly, making a crisp sound as his bones clenched.

until
"Defendant, do you have any rebuttal to the above?"

On the bench, Judge Liu felt completely exhausted and drowsy, and could only ask questions in a low voice.

Li Yang racked his brains, trying to find a way to break the deadlock, but ultimately realized that, based on Xu Liang's words, the other party had tied the mining company and the rare earth company too deeply, and there was simply no way to break free.
In the end, all that can be said is:
"Any action we take is legal and compliant!"

I absolutely refuse to admit it!
The words fell.

The judge's bench fell silent.

The two sides didn't even discuss the points of contention; they were just going at each other with logic, without even presenting any evidence.

But ironically, each logical chain is remarkably accurate.
"How to do?"

Judge Liu finally turned to look at Zhao Yi, who was standing to the side, and a bitter expression appeared on his face.

Sure enough, they were right.
This is utter nonsense, pure nonsense, and has absolutely nothing to do with the case!

Unfortunately, I can't say anything, not even a warning.

"Looking at me won't help." Zhao Yi shook his head; he wasn't that bright.

People's potential is often brought out under pressure, and his past experience was also forced out of him; it was purely a matter of improvisation!
Judge Liu changed his questioning approach, saying:

"In the past, what would Judge Zhao have done in this situation?"

Zhao Yi hesitated for a moment, then said, "Adjourn the court."

Both sides' logical chains need to be verified, so a recess is naturally necessary to handle the matter.

Hear the words.

Judge Liu fell silent.

After a long pause, he took a deep breath, clearly having made a judgment about the current situation.

"boom!"

The hammer fell, its sound echoing throughout the empty courtroom.

Everyone felt a jolt in their hearts and instinctively looked up at Judge Liu in the dock.

The next second, the other party's deep words resounded in everyone's ears.

just listen
"This court hearing is now in session."

"Court is now in recess!" "The hearing date is to be announced later. Everyone, please return to your quarters in an orderly manner!"

Finished.

Judge Liu felt a chill run down his spine, stood up, and led his men out of the courtroom.

Court is adjourned!?

The audience was slightly taken aback, but they were not disappointed. Instead, they rushed out of the room to block the exit of Zhu Haoyi and the others for an interview.

During this trial, Xu Liang revealed the following:
These are all major scoops!

Honestly, just a brief recollection of these three news items—the mining company murder, the rare earth new materials company, and the police and courts—sent chills down the spines of all the reporters.

Big news! Every single one of them is a major scoop!
dock.

Zhu Haoyi knew he couldn't avoid it.

He gritted his teeth, staring at Xu Liang, and suddenly slammed his hand on the table.

"Damn it, you beast!!!"

The other party just doesn't want him to have an easy time! It's pure malice, completely unrelated to the case; they just want to cause trouble for his rare earth business!
This beast! This beast!

"hehe."

Xu Liang gave a cold smile and glanced at the other person.

He immediately left the scene without leaving the other party with any emotion.

After leaving the courthouse.

Xu Liang looked at Su Yu beside him, pondered for a moment, and then suddenly frowned.

One month.
Someone is investigating my intelligence in Shangcheng, meaning Zhu Haoyi has accomplices in Shangcheng. I've been investigating this for a month, but I haven't found out the other party's identity at all!

Who is the other party?

What are they planning to do hiding in the upper city?
Xu Liang pondered for a long time before finally frowning.

"Take advantage of the recess to thoroughly investigate this matter!"

Su Yu nodded seriously, "Okay."

Finished.

The two then disappeared at the entrance of the courthouse.

Inside the collegial panel of the Shangcheng Intermediate People's Court.

After the recess, the judges did not leave work, but instead immediately went to the deliberation room.

"What do you all want to say about the case so far? Please speak up!"

Judge Liu rubbed his temples, trying his best to organize the information from the court hearing.

“I…I don’t have any ideas right now,” a judge said.

Judge Liu turned to look at Zhao Yi.

Zhao Yi also shook his head.

Neither side's arguments are supported by substantial evidence, making it difficult to determine who is right and who is wrong.

As for believing Xu Liang
Zhao Yi realized that the other party's words were nine parts truth and one part falsehood. Although only one-tenth of them were false, that one-tenth was enough to determine the outcome of the entire case!

This is far more serious than telling the whole truth, so you must be extremely cautious about what the other person says!
"However, it would be better to verify the plaintiff's information first."

Zhao Yi finally spoke up to offer a reminder.

Judge Liu pondered.

The biggest advantage of the information on mining companies and state-owned enterprises provided by Xu Liang is that it is extremely easy to verify.

That being the case.
"Let's call and ask."

Judge Liu's heart sank.

If the rare earth new materials company is indeed cooperating with Zhengyang Mining Company in mining, then what Xu Liang said is true.
"it is good!"

Everyone nodded and began to make arrangements.

Before long, a phone call was made.

Zhengyang City.

Yangshangou, Rundong Weaving Factory.

"Boom!!"

"Buzz~~~"

It was emitting the booming roar of a large steel monster.

Countless bulldozers and mining machines appeared and busied themselves in front of us, kicking up dust with each movement, as if we were being swallowed by a yellowish-brown haze.

Manager Wang, the manager of the rare earth new materials company, stood on the field, wearing a safety helmet, with a happy smile on his face.

This scene is truly a spring for civil engineering students!
Mining, specifically rare earth minerals!

With just a little purification, it will definitely sell for a good price, and all of that will be part of my sales performance!

A promotion, or even a move to head office, is not impossible.
It was precisely because of this temptation that he couldn't resist signing a contract with Zhengyang Mining Company in a short period of time.

Manager Wang thought about it honestly, and the joy on his face became even more undisguised.

until
"Dududu~!"

The phone rings.

Manager Wang glanced at it, realized it was an unfamiliar number, hesitated for a moment, and then clicked to connect.

"Hello?" he asked instinctively.

The speaker transmits the sound to the other party.

"We are from the Shangcheng Intermediate People's Court. We have a case involving Rare Earth New Materials Co., Ltd., and we need to ask you a question for verification."

Uptown?

Manager Wang was surprised, wondering why Shangcheng wanted to see him all of a sudden, since he didn't know many people from Shangcheng.

They even asked questions?

What's the point of asking questions? Besides...
"What do you want to ask?"

Manager Wang hesitated, a look of suspicion on his face, before speaking.

The next second, a deep voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Is the rare earth new materials company currently mining rare earths in Yangshangou in conjunction with Zhengyang Mining Company?!"

Mining rare earth elements?
Manager Wang had a few question marks on his head. He looked up and glanced at the dusty scene in front of him, where countless workers and steel monsters were shuttling back and forth.

"Yes, they're digging right now, and it won't be long before they can purify it."

Why are you asking this?!
