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

Chapter 317 Major Clue! One Dollar! [Seeking Monthly Tickets!]

There were six people in the courtyard, but if you include Wu Chengjun and Professor Zhang who occasionally came over for meals, that makes seven.

In the past, Xu Liang would buy enough groceries to last three or four days, but now he can only use them for one day.

If Wang Chao has a good appetite, he might finish in just two meals.

"Tell me what you want to eat, and I'll write it down."

Xu Liang looked at Su Yu and Yang Ruoxi and asked them a question.

"Squirrel-shaped mandarin fish!" Yang Ruoxi exclaimed, beaming with joy and a slight smile on her face.

She's become picky about food now. Even when she goes out to eat, she doesn't find anything particularly delicious, not even as good as a bowl of rice that Xu Liang can casually stir-fry at home!

Shredded potatoes.

Su Yu pursed her lips and said softly.

Xu Liang nodded, and was about to go out, but then...
Their words awakened a sleeping lion!

"Food? Where's the food?!"

A muffled sound rang out, and the next second, Wang Chao, who was sleeping in the guest room, pushed the door open with one hand, his eyes gleaming as he looked around eagerly.

"Brother Liang, I want to eat plain noodles!"

"This is so good, I really enjoyed it!!!"

Wang Chao said excitedly.

A while ago, Xu Liang showed off his new cooking skills by making him a bowl of noodles. After tasting it, Wang Chao felt very satisfied.

After eating this noodle, he felt hot all over, as if he had inexhaustible energy!
He even broke records while running during his workout, which shocked him greatly.

Xu Liang:
'Eating aphrodisiacs like protein powder.'

Xu Liang hesitated, but seeing the other person's pointed head, he gave up on telling him his thoughts.

"Okay, let's have noodles for our main course later."

Upon hearing this, Wang Chao was overjoyed and said, "Brother Liang, I'll go buy you some groceries!"

Wang Chao buying groceries?

Some unpleasant memories surfaced in Xu Liang's mind; he had asked the other person to buy pork tenderloin, but they ended up buying human tenderloin instead.
Although this is the upper city with relatively strict security measures, it can't withstand the power of supernatural forces.

The case is now at a critical juncture, and the second trial will basically determine the outcome. There is no need to take such an unnecessary risk, so Xu Liang immediately raised his hand to reject it.

"You go back to sleep, your sister and I will go."

Wang Chao scratched his head, then nodded, and went back to prepare to work out his muscles for a while.

Xu Liang, along with Yang Ruoxi and Su Yu, found a tricycle to go to the vegetable market.

The tricycle is pedaled.

It's not the kind of electric tricycle with a canopy that's called a mobile roadblock, but a small tricycle with only a cargo bed, which is most commonly used by elderly people in the countryside or vegetable vendors.

just
Right now, Xu Liang's tricycle is carrying two graceful young girls.

Yang Ruoxi felt a little embarrassed, but after glancing at Xu Liang, she still happily sat down, humming some unknown songs that sounded quite nice.

Su Yu was wearing a white dress. She pursed her lips, sat down to one side, and then pressed her schoolbag against her thigh.

"Squeak~!"

Xu Liang kicked hard, his lips twitching slightly.

No kidding, he felt like he'd pulled up a little pig, it was quite heavy!

Fortunately, the weight was no problem for him, and he soon drove out of the courtyard and headed east.

There are many vegetable markets in the upper town.

After all, although the area is not large, the population is large, not to mention that there are still many undeveloped areas and areas that are not allowed to be lived in, so many vegetable markets have appeared in the streets due to demand.

Dongyang Vegetable Market is one of them.

This place is quite close to the courtyard house and is one of the largest vegetable markets in the vicinity, where the quality of the vegetables is strictly controlled.

"Squeak~!"

The tricycle slowly came to a stop, and Xu Liang looked up at the noisy and bustling vegetable market in front of him.

It is 11:00 a.m. right now.

It's peak season at the farmers' market!

"Tsk, with so many people, we might even run into Zhu Haoyi."

Yang Ruoxi looked around and muttered something under her breath.

Zhu Haoyi's businesses in Shangcheng are nearby, and judging by the timing, the other party really might appear at Dongyang Vegetable Market.

but.
"It doesn't matter, I'll just run away if he gets angry."

Xu Liang parked the car and spoke as he walked.

The corporate culture of a law firm of conscience is that you must be good at physical work; you can be of low moral character and lack strong legal skills.

But you absolutely have to run fast!
Otherwise, even a slight delay could result in being attacked.

Although many newcomers don't understand, Xu Liang will set an example and teach them well!
"Forehead"

Yang Ruoxi suddenly stopped, tugged at Xu Liang, and whispered:

"Can you really outrun him?"

"real."

Xu Liang spoke up.

"Then can you carry me and run together?" Yang Ruoxi asked again.

"What do you mean?" Xu Liang asked, a look of confusion on his face.

The next second, Yang Ruoxi raised her hand, pointed at the figure in front of her, and then took a step back to protect Xu Liang in front of her.

Xu Liang looked in the direction the other person was pointing.

Then I saw
At this moment, two figures were standing not far from them, staring intently at Xu Liang.

The two men were expressionless, like statues, but their eyes were incredibly gloomy, filled with anger, as if they wished they could tear Xu Liang apart alive!
The other party was none other than Zhu Haoyi and Li Yang!

Oh no, they really attacked!

Xu Liang's heart skipped a beat, but his face showed no fear. He smiled and walked forward, cheerfully saying:

"Mr. Zhu, Attorney Li, it's nice to see you again."

"How have you been these past few days?"

How are you feeling?
What a fart!
Looking at Xu Liang, Zhu Haoyi's eyes gradually became bloodshot, and even his breathing became slightly rapid.

After the first recess of the hearing on the 17th, he had a premonition that something bad was about to happen.

There was no other reason than that the last point the other party made was simply a ploy to do something malicious! And just as Xu Liang had expected, the rare earth mine project failed.

Manager Wang of the rare earth new materials company immediately suspended all project cooperation, launched an emergency public relations campaign, and is also planning to file a lawsuit against Zhengyang Mining Company!

Seven years.

He had finally found an opportunity within seven years to connect with a state-owned enterprise, but it was ruined by Xu Liang's casual remark in court!

Even if he wants to cooperate again in the future, it will be much more difficult than it is now, and his mission will be even harder to complete!
The key is
I was just about to make contact at the Dongyang vegetable market, how come the other party is here again?!

Zhu Haoyi suddenly became alert, but still whispered:

"roll!"

The voice emanated from the chest, deep and resonant, brewing with rage.

"Sigh, why is Mr. Zhu so angry?"

Xu Liang chuckled and continued to rub salt into the wound.

"Is the rare earth project going to fall through? That would be such a shame."

"After all, state-owned enterprises usually provide some rare earth refining technology. If you can't even get something for free, you can't recoup the large amount of money you've invested."

"Mr. Zhu, please accept my condolences."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Haoyi showed no anger, but merely glanced around the vegetable market.

“Attorney Xu, it is unwise to indulge in a moment of verbal sparring.”

Li Yang suddenly spoke up, steer the conversation back to the case, and prevent the other party from losing focus.

"The truth will out, and the lie will become the truth. There is no connection between state-owned enterprises and mining companies. You and I both know this."

Xu Liang replied, "I'll listen to the court."

Hear the words.

Li Yang took a deep breath, showing no intention of staying any longer, and turned to leave with Zhu Haoyi.

They've made up their minds.

Once this storm has passed, choose a time when no one will suspect anything.
As Zhu Haoyi left the market, a shadow crossed his eyes.

We need to get rid of this guy!

Seven years of planning were finally making progress, but Xu Liang reinforced the walls with cement and steel bars. On the day the court closed, Zhu Haoyi was almost driven mad with anger!
"We can't let him get away with this."

Xu Liang watched the two figures leave, lost in thought.

He stopped thinking about it and started buying groceries.

The market has a complete selection of vegetables, with nothing missing; you can find anything on your shopping list.

Yoshihisa
"Meat, eggs, milk, and noodles are almost all available."

Xu Liang filled the tricycle, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and then looked at the list.

"We're still missing the scallions!"

"We can leave after we finish shopping."

Upon hearing this, the two girls breathed a sigh of relief, clearly showing signs of exhaustion.

The three of them wandered through the entire Dongyang vegetable market, and their legs were so tired they could barely move.

"Buy it as soon as possible."

Xu Liang stopped resting and immediately plunged into the vegetable market, walking around the various stalls until he reached the end.
"Boss, how much are these scallions?"

Xu Liang pulled out a large scallion, more than a meter long, and casually said.

The shop owner, a middle-aged man, chuckled when he saw Xu Liang come to buy scallions:
"The best Zhangqiu scallions are a steal if you buy them."

Zhangqiu scallions are known as the king of scallions.

This thing can grow to more than two meters long, or even 2.68 meters, nearly three meters. After being planted in the ground, it forms a completely different kind of 'green curtain', just like a cornfield.

just
"Yours is hard-leaved onion, isn't it?"

Xu Liang looked at the green onion in his hand, his lips twitching, and said speechlessly.

With his top-notch culinary skills, he can naturally distinguish ingredients, and this thing is clearly not a Zhangqiu scallion.

It's a hard-leaved onion!
The boss wasn't annoyed when he was exposed; he just kept chuckling.

"The best hard-leaf scallions are only three cents a pound, buy some."

Xu Liang:
Xu Liang was truly speechless this time, looking at his boss and not knowing what to say.

Fortunately, the price was acceptable, and the quality of the scallions from that stall was indeed higher than that of the other stalls, so I simply took out my money.

"Have some."

The boss immediately gave Xu Liang several bundles of scallions.

The difference between buying vegetables in the South and the North becomes apparent here. In the North, people often buy vegetables in bundles, and one bundle can last for more than half a month.

However, it's not considered expensive.

"Here you go, here's your twenty-three yuan change."

After counting the bills, the boss took out three banknotes: a ten-yuan note, a five-yuan note, and a one-yuan note.

wrong.

It's not a dollar!

But
"Dao Le!?"

Yang Ruoxi raised an eyebrow as she looked at the dollar the shopkeeper had pulled out.

"According to the exchange rate, this one dollar is equivalent to eight Dongguo coins, which adds up to exactly 23 dollars."

The boss said it very frankly.

"Boss, you have quite a few connections, and you even have foreign currency on hand!" Su Yu couldn't help but chuckle, finding the boss rather amusing.

Xu Liang looked at the paper money and suddenly frowned.

"Oh, this is what they gave me when I paid the bill. I was quite surprised at the time, but then I thought, I have no use for this money. It's better to exchange it for Dongguo currency for peace of mind. You can keep it as a memento."

The boss chuckled.

until
"and many more."

Xu Liang suddenly took the dollar, placed it in front of him, and frowned as he examined it carefully for a long time.

One US dollar, appearing in this place, and Zhu Haoyi has also been here.
After a long silence, Xu Liang fixed his serious gaze on his boss and said in a deep voice:

"Who gave you this money?!"
