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

Chapter 78 The Power of the Leather-Plain Book!
"You're going to sue Zheng Mei!?"

"You reported Zheng Mei for killing Zhou Xu!?"

"Attorney Xu, what you're saying..."

Chen Changchun was stunned.

He recognized every single word Xu Liang spoke, but when they were put together, they sounded so unfamiliar.
What do you mean by saying Sun Quan killed Zhou Xu, but he wants to sue Zheng Mei for murdering Zhou Xu?

"Captain Chen, what I mean is..."

Xu Liangxu smiled, took a cigarette from his chest pocket, put it in his mouth, and then lit it.

"Crack!"

The flames scorched the tobacco leaves, and sparks appeared in an instant.

Xu Liang took a deep breath, his chest heaving as nicotine surged through his chest, calming the inexplicable emotions in his heart.

He looked at Chen Changchun and said:

"What if there were two Zhou Xus and two Zhou families in this world?"

Two Zhou Xu families
Chen Changchun paused, then his pupils contracted as he remembered two things.

The first thing is that Zheng Mei's pregnancy is very suspicious.

According to Zheng Mei's hometown, she was raped by a fellow villager in 79, subsequently gave birth to a child, and the rapist was sentenced to death.

It's very strange, considering that in those days, it wasn't uncommon for rape victims to marry their rapists.

If Zheng Mei hated the rapist Zhou Yi, there's no reason she wouldn't have an abortion.

But if she didn't hate Zhou Yi for giving birth to the child, then why was she so determined to let Zhou Yi die?
Chen Changchun had wanted to investigate this matter thoroughly several months ago, but the problem was...
It's been too long!

25 years! A full 25 years. Those involved have died, Zhou Yi's family members have also died of old age, and those who remember this event are all old and suffer from Alzheimer's disease.

There's no way he could find out!
The second thing is...
"That educated youth's child!?"

Chen Changchun frowned.

79 was also a time when many educated youth returned to the city. A young woman surnamed Zhou returned to the city, got married, and had children. Zheng Mei had been to Aomori City in 80, but her child disappeared that same year.

then.

Chen Changchun suspected that Zheng Mei might have been taking revenge for her unrequited love by stealing and selling the other person's child.

However, Xu Liang's words at the moment surprised him.
"You mean, the child Zheng Mei sold back then might have been her own?!"

Chen Changchun's face was grim. Although he had seen many vicious people, he was still shocked by this speculation.

"The Zhou Xu and Zhou family who remained, that is, the child we have now, are actually the biological children of that educated youth Zhou from back then!?"

Selling one's own child to raise a kidnapped one?
This is absolutely unbelievable!

Even tigers don't eat their cubs, so Zheng Mei's heart is beyond description!

But the thought of Zhou Xu and Zheng Mei, whose faces bear almost no resemblance, undoubtedly adds a bit more credibility to these words!

only.
"Killed Zhou Xu? You mean Zheng Mei was involved in the murder of her own child?"

Chen Changchun's criminal instincts immediately made him understand the logic behind Xu Liang's so-called report against Zheng Mei.

The current Zhou Xu was killed by Sun Quan, but what about the other Zhou Xu?
"It cannot be determined at this time."

Xu Liang shook his head, but then asked, "What about the two people the police were keeping an eye on?"

Chen Changchun frowned.

"Li Cui and Sun Li?"

The moment Li Cui and Sun Quan's second uncle, Sun Li, arrived in Hongfu District.

Xu Liang then alerted the police.

At first things were fine, but when the police summoned the two to meet with Sun Qian, they gave themselves away.

When Sun Qian saw Li Cui and Sun Li, her eyes were filled with terror, as if she had returned to the state she had just been rescued!
Chen Changchun immediately realized that something was wrong.

Just a few days ago, the police detained the other party at the police station on suspicion of being a suspect.

Xu Liang nodded.

"That's right, those are the two."

"Captain Chen, could you arrange a meeting?"

Without the slightest hesitation, Chen Changchun readily agreed.

"Wait a moment, I'll arrange it myself!"

Say it.

Chen Changchun then walked outside.

Only Xu Liang remained in the office.

See this.

Xu Liang calmly reached for his briefcase.

In the briefcase, besides a thick stack of documents, there was also a book.

A leather book!
Xu Liang held it in his hand and gently turned the page.

Name: Xu Liang

[Case Studies: 'Snail Case' and 'Camel Meat Case']

[Skills: 'Heartbreaking Rice Lv2' 'Curry Rice Bowl Lv1'] [Special Skill: 'Fighting Master']

(Fighting Master: How can a lawyer be without self-defense skills? A qualified lawyer must be proficient in both literature and martial arts!)
Yes.

After the "Camel Meat Case" was solved and documented, the cowhide book rewarded him with two skills.

First, he's a cook; second, he has self-defense skills. These are very practical. With these, he at least won't be afraid of being ambushed in the dark.

Of course, the most important thing is
When Xu Liang wrote the case, the same situation as in the 'Chen Dong case' occurred again.

He experienced Sun Quan's story from a first-person perspective, and in some cases, he also gained a lot of information from an omniscient perspective!
"Li Cui and Zheng Mei are from the same hometown."

"After leaving their hometown, the two went to Aomori City. For some reason, Zheng Mei abducted Zhou Zhiqing's two children. Subsequently, the two became human traffickers. During this time, they met Sun Quan's second uncle, Sun Li."

"After that, the three of them made a living by trafficking other people, but..."

"In 82, the two sides suddenly parted ways. Li Cui and Sun Li left the gang and started a normal life after getting married."

Xu Liang murmured.

In his view, Zheng Mei initially participated in trafficking other people with her four children.

But in 82, the child suddenly became two.

Li Cui seemed to have seen something, and was so frightened that she took Sun Li and left Zheng Mei!

Based on Li Cui's reaction, Xu Liang boldly guessed that Zheng Mei had most likely done something to her two biological children.
"Whether the two remaining children are Zheng Mei's biological children is easy to verify. The police can simply conduct a paternity test on the Zhou family and Zheng Mei."

Xu Liang's mind was filled with a multitude of thoughts.

He said to himself:
"But this doesn't mean Zheng Mei can be sentenced to death!"

The punishment for human traffickers can be severe in some ways and lenient in others.

Those who commit serious crimes will be executed if caught, while those who commit minor crimes might only be sentenced to a few years and then leave.

Zheng Mei died.

The other party needs to bear the consequences they deserve for their crimes!
"The breakthrough lies with Li Cui!"

Xu Liang's gaze sharpened, instantly gathering his scattered thoughts.

Li Cui had no idea what Zheng Mei had done after 82.

But the police only need one breakthrough to thoroughly investigate Zheng Mei and bring her to justice in court!

Think of this.

Xu Liang took a deep breath.

He sat quietly in his office, waiting patiently.

Yoshihisa
"Da da da!"

A series of footsteps stopped at the office door. Xu Liang turned his head and saw an unfamiliar police officer in a police uniform standing at the door.

The police officer looked around and, after confirming that it was only Xu Liang, then turned his attention to Xu Liang.

He spoke respectfully:

"Attorney Xu, the captain asked me to take you to the interrogation room."

Upon hearing this, Xu Liang nodded.

"Hi~!"

He finished the cigarette in one gulp.

He then stood up and followed the police officer.

"Walk."

The officer nodded and began to lead the way.

Not long after.

The two stopped in front of the interrogation room door, and Xu Liang reached out and pushed it open.

"Squeak~"

The door opened.

A haggard-looking Li Cui was handcuffed to a chair, her weary eyes fixed on Chen Changchun across the interrogation table.

heard movement.

The two subconsciously turned around and saw Xu Liang. Chen Changchun nodded.

Li Cui suddenly froze, and then her pupils contracted.

"It's you!!!"

Her voice was somewhat shrill, as if she had seen some kind of demon.

When she first arrived in Hanhai City, she met Xu Liang once at the police station.

That was Sun Quan's lawyer. It was because this lawyer told them that Sun Qian was conscious that the two of them were terrified. However, they did not receive any news from Sun Qian about revealing their identities in the following days.

After discussing it, the two concluded that Sun Qian wanted something in return, so they went to meet her.

Unexpectedly, upon meeting her, they discovered that Sun Qian had already suffered a mental breakdown.
Upon seeing them, their reaction instantly exposed their pretense!

"Ms. Li, we meet again."
