Chapter 56: Continuing the Defense!

Sixty thousand yuan for an answer?
Sun Quan frowned, looking at Xu Liang with an unreadable expression.

Sixty thousand?

Let alone 60,000, he can't even come up with 6,000 right now!
However, before he could ask, the person in front of him spoke first:

"According to the records, Zhou Xu is 25 years old this year, and Sun Qian was abducted 13 years ago when Zhou Xu was only 12 years old."

"No matter how you look at it, the trafficker could not be Zhou Xu himself."

Inside the interrogation room, Xu Liang looked at Sun Quan in front of him and slowly began to speak.

Sun Quan remained silent.

He was naturally aware of this, otherwise he wouldn't be communicating with the other party so rationally.

but
"Are you a police officer?" Sun Quan frowned and looked the other person up and down.

The murderer may still be at large.

But even if I give this person money, what can he do?
It's not that the police don't even have law enforcement power; it's that if the police arrest someone, they'll demand money from the victim's family!

"No, I'm a lawyer."

Xu Liang smiled and spoke up before the other party could ask again.

“Mr. Sun, you should be well aware of the current situation.”

"The real culprit is still at large, while you will be imprisoned in the police station and soon be taken to court. To be honest, without other factors, there is a 98% chance that the crime you committed will result in the death penalty."

Hear the words.

Sun Quan fell silent.

He didn't object.

Three murders
Sun Quan, who murdered three people, couldn't even imagine how the court could avoid sentencing him to death!

"so."

"You need a lawyer, a lawyer who can handle everything for you on the outside."

Xu Liang smiled.

Looking at the hesitant Sun Quan, he could smell the scent of money on him!

Sun Quan did indeed waver.

Unable to contact her family, suffering from mental instability, and imprisoned, Sun Qian had no one to help her and could only wait to die.
He wasn't afraid of death, but the thought of the culprit being alive filled him with resentment!
However, the biggest challenge also lies before him.

"I"

Sun Quan cleared his dry throat, lowered his head, placed his handcuffed hands on the table, and spoke in a hoarse voice.

“No money.”

No money? Not that you don't need it!
"Don't worry, our ethical business will do the work first and then you pay!"

Xu Liang pressed his advantage and said:

"I've thought about your case. If Zhou Xu and the mastermind behind it can be convicted, we'll receive a substantial compensation!"

"You can pay from the compensation fund at that time."

Zhou Xu has a large fortune.

With his death, the court will certainly assess the value of the assets and compensate Sun Quan and Sun Qian.

So Sun Quan is rich, but...
"Aren't you afraid of losing!?"

Sun Quan was stunned, looking up at Xu Liang in disbelief.

"If I die, I'll have nothing left!"

If the court sentences him to death in his personal case, then Xu Liang will get nothing!
Even if Sun Qian receives personal compensation, it is almost impossible for her to receive the money without family members or a legal guardian in charge of the funds.

"fine."

Xu Liang smiled and took out a draft contract from his briefcase.

"Wealth is found in danger!"

"Sixty thousand yuan is worth the risk."

Sun Quan stared at the man in front of him, his lips moving for a long time.

"Thank you."

Upon hearing those two words, Xu Liang's face lit up with a smile as if he were facing God.

He pushed the contract in front of the other party, along with a pen.

Before long, a legally binding contract was signed.

"Very well, from now on, once a public prosecution is initiated, I will be your defense attorney, and you will be my client."

Xu Liang carefully put the contract away.

The prosecution for this case should be initiated very quickly, definitely faster than the Chen Dong case.

First, the clues were clear; the evidence of Sun Quan murdering three people was conclusive, and he was arrested on the spot.
The lawsuit will begin in at most two weeks. In other words, he only has two weeks left before the first trial begins!

"Mr. Sun, how did you find out about Zhou Xu and how did you kill him?"

Xu Liang pondered for a long time before beginning to learn about the basic information.

Sun Quan paused for a moment, then spoke:

"rent."

“Thirteen years ago, a witness told me that my sister got into a taxi and then disappeared.”

"Two years ago, I heard from other people searching for their relatives that there were cases of abduction and trafficking in Hanhai City, so I thought I'd try my luck here."

“Two months ago, I saw a taxi on the street and noticed that there was someone holding a child inside. I kept looking for that car and finally found him a couple of days ago.”

“In the early hours of August 12, I knocked him unconscious, and then found some children in the pigsty to confirm my idea.”

"I was about to ask him if he knew my sister, but when I got closer, I found he had bled too much and was already dead. In a fit of anger, I..."

That led to the pork tenderloin incident.

From this perspective, the pork stall owner was indeed not lying.

They really didn't sell any sick pigs!
Similarly, did Sun Quan accidentally kill Zhou Xu?

Liu Jin, who was standing to the side, thoughtfully connected the police information with it.

"There's a child in the car. Why do you think it's a human trafficker?" Liu Jin asked.

"The child is too quiet."

Sun Quan truthfully recounted, "Back then, there was a traffic jam with taxis, and horns were blaring all around, but the child was still sleeping."

Children have very shallow sleep; they will burst into tears at the slightest touch.

Even the horn can't wake you up in a traffic jam.
No wonder the other party was suspicious.

Liu Jin understood.

Xu Liang narrowed his eyes and jotted down all the clues in his notebook. However, unlike Liu Jin, what he cared about was...
"Thirteen years ago, witnesses said that Sun Qian was abducted after getting into a taxi?"

Sun Quan and Liu Jin were stunned.

Is this a problem?
Why would the other party be interested in this?
Sun Quan paused for a moment to recall, and finally nodded.

"Yes."

Xu Liang continued to ask questions.

How old was Sun Qian 13 years ago?

"14 years old," Sun Quan answered honestly.

14 years old.
Fourteen years old is not young. If you were married hundreds of years ago, you would be considered a fully-fledged person even today.

This age
"Did she voluntarily get into a taxi?" Xu Liang asked again.

"The witness said that he went on his own initiative and there were no adults around."

Did they get on the bus willingly?
this.
Did you see any relatives around the scene at the time?

Xu Liang suddenly narrowed his eyes, staring intently at the other person.

"Or rather, someone you know very well."

Did you see any relatives at the scene?
Sun Quan paused, trying his best to recall.

Finally, after some hesitation, he spoke:

"There is one."

Xu Liang blurted out, "Who?"

“My second aunt was buying something at the convenience store at the time.”

Sun Quan spoke up.

Although the memories are 13 years apart, these things are already etched in his mind.

After a while.

Sun Quan then added:

"My second aunt told me about my sister being abducted in a taxi."

“My second aunt’s name is Li Cui. When I ran away from home, she saw me on the road and gave me two hundred yuan.”

That is
The witness from 13 years ago was Sun Quan's second aunt!?

Xu Liang narrowed his eyes, and after a long while, he finally stood up.

"Okay, Mr. Sun, I will come to see you again in two days."

"During this time, you can try to recall some things and tell me later."
