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

Chapter 37: File a Case Based on the Corpse!

At the entrance of the Intermediate People's Court of Hanhai City, a large crowd had gathered.

"Mr. Xu, is there anything you'd like to say now?"

"Attorney Xu, did you already anticipate the outcome of the second instance after the first instance trial?"

What is your opinion on the defense lawyer in the first instance?

"Attorney Xu, aren't you afraid that Chen Dong intentionally killed Chen Wei by defending him like this?"

"."

Countless microphones were held high by reporters and shoved towards Xu Liang's face.

In the crowd, Xu Liang struggled to squeeze through the people around him, squinting as he raised his hand to shield his eyes from the flashing lights.

The chaotic and noisy sounds buzzed in my ears, as if I were in a vegetable market.

"Let's let one let, let one let!"

"Court police officers, please maintain order at the scene!"

Xu Liang spoke with difficulty, leading Yang Ruoxi and Chen Hua through the narrow crowd to push their way out.

Upon hearing this, several bailiffs gritted their teeth and made room at the doorway.

Seeing this, the group quickly slipped away through the gap.

In the blink of an eye, the three of them disappeared from everyone's sight.

The reporters outside the courthouse looked at each other, but couldn't find any trace of Xu Liang. After a long while, they realized he had disappeared and immediately slapped their thighs in regret.

"Why are you pushing!"

A reporter, his face contorted with rage, was hurling insults at those around him.

They are all junior reporters, and they may not encounter any hot news stories all year round.

They've managed to snag a bargain!
The most attention-grabbing criminal case in Hanhai in recent months has taken a dramatic turn in just one day!

A death sentence in the first instance, but a verdict of no criminal responsibility in the second instance!?

Putting everything else aside, just broadcasting the general framework is enough to cause a sensation!
If only we could interview Xu Liang again.
A promotion and a raise are just around the corner!
Unfortunately, they missed their chance, and Xu Liang left with his men.

The reporter was immediately envious upon thinking about this.

"They squeezed and pushed, and now look what happened! No one got to be interviewed!"

Those around them, however, were equally unconvinced, since there was no live stream at the moment, and immediately retorted:
"How dare you say that? You were the one who was pushing the hardest just now!"

"You're talking nonsense!" The man's face turned bright red.

"Hmph, I'm too lazy to argue with you!"

The reporter who retorted snorted coldly. Although he disliked the other party, he knew that the most important thing right now was to go back to the company to report for duty.

Even without Xu Liang's appearance, it's enough to generate some buzz!

Thinking of this, he quickly led the photographer outside.

The surrounding reporters were taken aback when they saw him leave, but then they realized what was happening.

There's only so much buzz. If someone reports it a second earlier, they'll lose a fraction of their traffic!

Within just a dozen seconds, half of the reporters outside the courthouse went back inside, while the other half went inside to interview the rest of the reporters.

"Old Zhang, aren't we leaving?"

Meanwhile, Zhang Tao, a reporter from Langke Media, was still sitting on both sides of the courthouse entrance. The photographer next to him saw that many people had left, and his face immediately showed anxiety.

"If we don't leave soon, we won't even get to drink soup!" photographer Li Ye said anxiously.

"Don't rush. Don't rush."

Zhang Tao remained calm as he squatted at the main entrance of the courthouse, his eyes scanning the surroundings.

"How could this not be urgent?!" Li Ye said with a bitter face.

They finally managed to capture a blockbuster shot, but then they just sit here wasting time. Who wouldn't get impatient in that situation?

They are both interns who haven't been promoted yet. If this work is published, they might be able to get promoted directly!
If you miss this opportunity, who knows when you'll get another one.
Upon hearing this, the number of people around Zhang Tao decreased slightly, and he then spoke in a low voice:

"Do you remember the conversation between Attorney Xu and the prosecutor just now?"

What was said before?

Photographer Li Ye was taken aback.

"The prosecutor said that Attorney Xu was not afraid of retribution, but Attorney Xu retorted that the other party would suffer retribution."

Zhang Tao's eyes were very calm.

Although he is only in his early twenties, he has an excellent sense of news!

His intuition told him there was something in there!

"Attorney Xu retorted at the time, saying that the other party would suffer retribution, and that retribution would come very quickly!"

Zhang Tao surveyed his surroundings and whispered to his brother beside him:
"Remember, he said that with a definite tone!"

"In other words, if the other party believes that the prosecution will be punished, and that it's not Chen Wei's case, then what kind of punishment that punishment is is debatable!"

"With so many reporters covering this case right now, even if we act quickly, we won't get much of a share."

"If we can survive this retribution..."

A glint of shrewdness flashed in Zhang Tao's eyes, "Then I can take a big bite of meat!"

Upon hearing this, Li Ye calmed down after a moment of doubt.

Zhang Tao stopped explaining, and the two of them just squatted at the entrance of the courthouse, observing everything that was happening around them.

A small number of reporters had already left the scene. Most reporters, with their photographers, took a few photos outside before entering the courtroom. After all, although they hadn't been able to interview Xu Liang, Zhu Hong was a good alternative.

Time passed like this minute by minute.

until.

At 2:30 p.m., fifteen minutes after the court session ended.

When all the bailiffs on the perimeter disappeared, a figure dressed in hemp clothing and cloth shoes staggered to the courthouse entrance.

Someone glanced at him curiously, but didn't think much of it.

until
The other person walked up to Zhang Tao.

"Brother, is this the Intermediate People's Court of Hanhai City?"

Startled by the sudden, murky voice beside him, Zhang Tao, who was smoking, instinctively turned his head to look.

Suddenly, a man with a weathered face appeared before them, carrying a bamboo mat.

Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that the other person was missing a finger on their right hand, and the bamboo mat was bulging, indicating that something was wrapped inside.

Zhang Tao nodded subconsciously, "It's this."

The man nodded, then fell silent.

He carried the rolled-up bamboo mat inside.

Zhang Tao was about to say something when Li Ye suddenly whispered, "Old Zhang, why do I smell an earthy smell?"

Earthy smell?
Zhang Tao was taken aback, looked at the man's departing figure, and then exchanged a glance with Li Ye.

"Let's go, let's follow them and take a look."

Inside the courthouse lobby.

The hall was empty; from the entrance, only two or three figures could be seen standing there.

Unlike the scorching heat outside, the air here seemed to be infected by the solemn atmosphere, becoming much cooler.

The man silently walked into the hall.

The bailiff at the front desk glanced at him and was immediately puzzled, wondering why this man was carrying a bulging bamboo mat to the courthouse.

But I still followed procedure and asked:

Hello. How can I help you?

After a long silence, the man suddenly spoke: "I want to file a case."

'Filing a case? What's the point of bringing a bamboo mat when filing a case?'

The bailiff had some doubts in his mind, and said:

"To file a case, you need to go to the case filing division. Please put your things down first, and I'll take you there."

Unexpectedly, the man reacted violently upon hearing this, shouting:
"I'm not going!"

"I want to file this case here, I want to file it here!"

The loud sound immediately drew the attention of everyone else in the hall.

The reporter, who was interviewing the bailiffs, instinctively looked towards the front desk upon hearing the commotion.

"what happened?"

Is someone causing trouble?

"I do not know."

"."

Feeling the gazes of those around him, the bailiff frowned.

He stood up, reaching for the bamboo mat as he again advised, "It's the rule to file a case at the case filing court. It's not far from here. Put your things down and I'll take you there."

Before he even touched the bamboo mat, he stood up and suddenly glanced at something out of the corner of his eye, causing him to freeze instantly.

A sliver of corroded white light seeped into his eyes through the gaps in the bamboo mat.
The bailiff was stunned, his hand, which was hanging in mid-air, froze.

When Liu Mingbo saw him reach out, he instinctively stepped back and stumbled.

But as he stepped back, the bamboo mat on his shoulder immediately came undone.

"clap clap"

With a crisp sound of something hitting the ground, a series of white objects appeared before my eyes.

"Gulu~"

A round object rolled on the ground until it stood upright in front of the bailiff.

This thing has two dark holes and features facial features.

And this is...
Human head.

He rolled to the ground, not far from the bailiff, his hollow, rotten eyes staring at the bailiff.

In an instant, the entire courthouse fell silent.

All the reporters, microphones in hand, remained silent, staring blankly at the scene unfolding in the hall.

Zhang Tao and Li Ye stood frozen at the door, their chests barely rising and falling, forgetting to breathe.
