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

Chapter 87 The Mysterious Six!
If Lu Yao did not lie or embellish anything.
Then this case reveals an eerie atmosphere everywhere!

First of all, the number of people mentioned earlier is incorrect.

followed by.
Why would you do such a thing to Lu Yao's mother?!

This doesn't make sense. The other party is neither a kidnapper nor has he come to demand ransom, nor can he get anything of value from the old man.

Then why forcibly arrest people?!
It can't possibly be someone from the police!
Xu Liang's heart sank, realizing the case was too hot to handle, but he didn't abandon it. Instead, he took Yang Ruoxi out and asked Lu Yao to wait at the law firm.

"Hey~"

The two got into the car and headed towards the police station.

Xu Liang did not go to the Municipal Bureau for the time being.

Instead, they led people to the Hongfu District Criminal Investigation Brigade.

Before long, the vehicle slowly came to a stop in the brigade's courtyard.

"Snapped!"

The car door opened, and the two got out.

The police station was filled with detectives on the move, which showed just how difficult the 'Zheng Mei case' was.

The reason is that the police don't just want Zheng Mei to bring the case of the baby in the water tank from 22 years ago to court; they want to find out the identities of all the people Zheng Mei has trafficked over the decades!

Without a doubt, this is a difficult and enormous task!
That's why everyone is busy.

But Xu Liang can't care about that now.

He had just stepped into the hall when a burly man in uniform, holding documents in his hand, walked down the stairs.

"Hmm? Attorney Xu, what a coincidence."

Wang Chao is submitting the case materials.

Passing by the lobby, he unexpectedly saw Xu Liang, paused for a moment, then raised his eyebrows and smiled.

But when he saw Yang Ruoxi, Xu Liang's older sister, standing beside him, his smile immediately vanished.

Yang Ruoxi didn't bother with pleasantries and immediately stopped him to ask.

"Chaozi, where's Captain Chen?"

"Captain Chen went to the Municipal Bureau to verify information. It seems there are leaders there." Wang Chao looked at Yang Ruoxi cautiously.

They went to the Municipal Public Security Bureau!?

Xu Liang frowned, but fortunately, the criminal investigation team had more than one captain!
"Attorney Xu, is there anything urgent you need to discuss with the captain?"

A familiar voice sounded.

Xu Liang and Yang Ruoxi looked up.

On the stairs, Liu Jin, dressed in a uniform shirt, slowly walked down, a look of doubt on his face as he spoke.

"If you have time, Attorney Xu, you can wait in the office for a moment."

"I'll make a call, the captain will be back soon."

Upon hearing this, Xu Liang waved his hand in refusal.

"Need not."

Chen Changchun went to the Municipal Bureau on official business. Liu Jin and the others didn't know that the Supreme People's Procuratorate was there, so they rashly called someone back, probably for their own personal matters. Even if they didn't do anything, just hearing about it wouldn't sound good.

"I have a case here that involves the police, so I'm here to investigate."

"I wonder if Captain Liu is available?"

Looking at Liu Jin in front of him, Xu Liang tentatively asked a question.

Upon hearing this, Liu Jin smiled and nodded.

"Of course I'm free. What would you like to investigate, Attorney Xu?"

Xu Liang breathed a sigh of relief, considered for a moment, and then spoke:
"Could the police please investigate the incident that occurred at 9:30 PM on the 27th in Ronghua Street?"

Unexpectedly.

Before he could finish speaking, Liu Jin interrupted him, his face showing surprise and a strange expression.

"Is your client someone named Lu Yao?"

"Is he saying that the police illegally detained his mother?!"

Xu Liang was stunned. "You know Captain Liu?"

"Of course I know them!"

Liu Jin had a toothache, and when it was mentioned, he immediately began to complain.

"You have no idea, starting from the 28th, Lu Yao has been causing trouble at the Criminal Investigation Brigade every day!"

"They're saying the police violated regulations, and that the brigade illegally detained him, and that the police are only denying it because they're afraid his mother will show up with injuries on her face!!!"

"But the police didn't do any of these things!"

"The police were already investigating the case after he filed the report!!!"

The police really didn't do that!?
Xu Liang stared into Liu Jin's eyes, carefully observing the other man's micro-expressions. But no matter how he looked, he could only come to one conclusion:
Liu Jin wasn't lying!
"I have a list of all the police officers who went out on patrol in Hongfu District on the night of the 27th. If you don't believe me, you can ask them one by one!"

Liu Jin looked utterly helpless.

This is a bit weird.

If Liu Jin wasn't lying, then it couldn't be Lu Yao who was lying!
But the other party has no reason to lie, and their mental state is normal, so...
Who exactly were the police officers who appeared on Ronghua Street at 9:30 PM on the 27th?

Xu Liang pondered for a while, then exchanged a glance with Yang Ruoxi, who also shook her head in confusion.

Finally, he frowned and spoke:

"Are there any CCTV footage from Ronghua Street?"

"Yes, I'll take you to adjust it."

Liu Jin nodded, then turned around and led his men into his personal office.

The office was a small cubicle, but it contained a computer.

When Lu Yao went to the police station on the 28th, the police quickly copied a video and assigned the case to several officers in the intelligence squad.

Everyone gathered in front of the screen.

"Chi~!"

Liu Jin turned on the computer, and the screen lit up shortly afterward.

As Xu Liang moved and clicked the mouse, a black and white surveillance video appeared in front of him.

画面右上角显示，时间正是2004—10—27，晚上9:27。

The surveillance camera is positioned directly facing Ronghua Street, which has numerous streetlights on both sides.

Shortly after, an elderly man in tattered clothes appeared in the surveillance footage.

The old woman was dressed in thin clothes, her body was emaciated, and her face was blank. She walked to the street lamp in the dark and finally sat on the curb under the lamp, looking down at the ants on the ground.

Xu Liang watched silently.

After a while.
The old man suddenly raised his head and looked at one of the spots.

Just then, in the direction the old man was looking, a police van with its license plate covered and flashing blue and red lights appeared in the corner of the screen!
As they passed by, the car suddenly stopped next to the old man. The next second, the car door opened and six people in blue uniforms got out.

The six men glanced around to make sure no one was nearby, then dragged the old man into the car, but he began to struggle.

Until someone pulled out a stick.
"Snapped!"

The stick struck him, and the old man cried out in pain, crouching down to cover his head.

Then another person opened the trunk, took out a net, put the old man inside, and then together they managed to get him into the car.

After getting on the bus, you could vaguely see that the old man was still resisting.

However, someone pulled something out and stabbed it into the old man's body, and soon after, the old man stopped moving.

The police car sped away!

This concludes the monitoring.

"look."

Liu Jin took a deep breath and looked at Xu Liang helplessly.

Xu Liang didn't speak; his brows were furrowed, and he couldn't relax them for a long time.

Looking at the surveillance footage alone, there are many suspicious points.

First, there's the vehicle type; most police cars are sedans, and they can be described as antiques.

The vehicle shown in the surveillance footage is a van, similar to those used by the court. Although the police also use them, they are not frequently used and therefore are rarely replaced. However, the vehicle in the surveillance footage appears to be quite new.
Secondly, there are sirens.

Judging from the fact that the old man looked up inexplicably and subconsciously glanced at the police car, the car must have had its siren on.

But police don't use sirens during routine patrols!

And the number of people, and the handling method.

And what he pulled out of the car... he couldn't imagine that the police were equipped with similar gadgets.

Xu Liang fell into deep thought, murmuring to himself.

Based on the current situation, it can be basically ruled out that it was the police, or at least not the Hongfu District police!
If it's true, then it's cross-regional law enforcement, but the enforcement behavior doesn't conform to the police's practice; at least he's never seen anyone use a net for law enforcement.

The police uniforms, batons, police cars, and sirens are almost identical.
The key is
The Zheng Mei case has already put the entire city of Hanhai on edge!
The entire nation, the entire Eastern Kingdom, is now focused on Hanhai City!
The city government even dispatched a special task force to investigate the case personally, making the timing extremely sensitive!
And yet, they dared to brazenly arrest people right in front of the Supreme People's Procuratorate!
Why? And on what basis?
Is it because they don't know that the Supreme People's Procuratorate officials are in Hanhai City? Or is it...?
They're not afraid at all!

The former is alright, it's just a bit stupid.

But if it's the latter, and they're not even afraid of the Supreme People's Procuratorate, then there's a problem.
That would be huge!!!

Thinking of this, Xu Liang's heart sank, his brows furrowed, and he murmured:

"These people"

"What's the origin?"
