Lawyer: Start with legal retaliation against infidelity!

Some people are afraid of the police, while others are not.

Of course, in normal circumstances, no one would want to provoke the police if it were face-to-face, but it's a different story if it's just a phone call.

People become bolder when they are separated by a mobile phone.

False police reports, fake documents, and all sorts of unnecessary and miscellaneous information such as "speculation" and "possibility" will flood the police station with phone calls.

and so.

Even if an anonymous tip comes out right now, the police won't take it too seriously; they'll just handle it as a formality.

Send an investigator to verify the details of the report.

"Well, the three of us should hurry up and leave."

Inside the office.

Zhou Jianshan called out to his apprentice, then grabbed his thermos and headed outside. His apprentice, Xiao Li, grabbed two fried dough sticks, stuffed them into a plastic bag, and hurried after him.

In addition, there is an ordinary subordinate.

According to anonymous reports.

The investigation took place in Zhujia Village, Yanzhou City. There was a man named Wu Tao in Zhujia Village who was killed in a car accident a couple of years ago. But before he was killed, he did some extraordinary things.

The person who reported the incident did not say what they had done, but only mentioned that it might be related to some missing persons cases in Yanzhou City.

The more detailed investigation locations are...

Zhujia Village, behind the village.

Behind the village are the villagers' farmland, a flat expanse that stretches as far as the eye can see. In addition, there are some mountains and forests, and within the mountains and forests are burial mounds, where most of the villagers are buried when they die.

Each family is buried in a fixed area, separated from each other.

The location of the investigation was the location of the "Wu family".

Around 2:30 p.m., Zhou Jianshan arrived with police officers.

"Clang!"

As soon as the car stopped, three smoking policemen opened the doors and looked around aimlessly.

"Tsk, this is some desolate wilderness...and these are all other people's ancestral graves. Why bother calling the police...what kind of investigation could they possibly have?"

Police officer Xiao Li muttered to himself.

The other officer nodded in agreement.

"Let's take a walk around and see what's going on. Now that we've taken on this mission, we can't just do it half-heartedly."

Zhou Jianshan casually remarked, and then led his men into the mountains and forests, looking around the cemetery as they walked.

At that time, cremation was not yet widely practiced in Dongguo.

As cremation is promoted, we occasionally see villagers clashing with officials to preserve the remains of their ancestors, but in reality...

Although there are indeed isolated cases, most people accept it quite readily.

Furthermore, this seems to have little impact on rural funeral practices. People still buy a coffin, dig a hole, bury the person, build a high mound, and then hold a funeral ceremony. The only difference is that the body in the coffin has been replaced by an urn.

Just as Zhou Jianshan was wandering around aimlessly, he suddenly felt a sense of disorientation.

A voice suddenly rang out.

"Master, something's wrong!"

Zhou Jianshan turned his head and saw his apprentice standing around a small grave mound, looking on in astonishment.

"What's going on?"

He walked quickly over, then paused slightly when he saw the grave mound in front of him, his brows furrowing. He then reached out and rubbed the soil on the grave mound.

"This soil..."

Zhou Jianshan murmured.

In his early years, he arrested a group of private cultural relic excavation protectors. During the interrogation, he also noted down some of their tricks and techniques, which came in handy now!

The grave mound in front of us was clearly only recently buried!

"No, it wasn't just buried... the grave mound must have been there for several years."

Zhou Jianshan rubbed the fine soil on his fingertips, a thought struck him, and he immediately made a conclusion.

"Someone has turned the grave upside down these past two days!"

In other words... someone dug up the grave!?

Zhou Jianshan looked surprised. He frowned and looked around at the desolate mountains and wilderness.

Xiao Zhou, standing beside him, couldn't help but whisper:

"Master, what's with the emergency number?"

"Wasn't it supposed to be a missing person case...? Could it be...? It's not a human trafficker's scheme..."

"Or is there something inside this grave mound?"

What's in the grave mound?

Zhou Jianshan also wanted to know, and at this moment his brows were furrowed, as if he vaguely realized something.

This anonymous emergency call...

This might not be a joke.

"Find the Wu family."

Zhou Jianshan immediately had an idea. He crossed one arm over his chest and stroked his chin with the other.

"Try negotiating with them and ask if they can dig up the grave."

Xiao Li nodded, then got into the police car and sped towards the village, raising a cloud of yellow dust on the dirt road.

There's something wrong with the burial mound.

Whether it was a dog buried there to scare the person who called the police, or someone stole burial goods, it's still illegal.

How do we determine that? We have to dig.

But this is a rural area.

What you're stepping on is your ancestral grave!

The police digging up someone's ancestral grave without authorization... frankly, unless you're not afraid of being hit on the head by a villager with a hoe, it's best to negotiate first before taking any action.

Zhou Jianshan is a veteran, so he naturally wouldn't make such a basic mistake, but...

"...Hmm? The Wu family only has one son. No one died there three years ago. At most, Wu Tao died a year or two ago. Look, Wu Tao's grave is right next to here."

"Speaking of which, when I visit graves, I sometimes wonder where these burial mounds came from."

When Wu Tao's wife, Han Li, arrived at the scene, she stared wide-eyed at the grave mound, somewhat bewildered.

These words.

This left Zhou Jianshan somewhat bewildered.

No one in the Wu family died three years ago?

So what's the story behind this grave that was dug up three years ago?

"Master, could some bastard be playing a trick on us on purpose...?"

Police officer Xiao Li muttered to himself.

False police reports are indeed rampant.

The mound in front of me looks suspicious no matter how you look at it.

Maybe it's not a person buried inside, but a cat? Or maybe a dog, or maybe nothing at all.

but......

Zhou Jianshan stroked his chin, then turned to look at Han Li beside him.

"Can we dig?"

Han Li casually replied, "Let's dig."

"Then let's dig!"

Without hesitation, Zhou Jianshan took out the hoe and iron handle he had just borrowed from the village from the police car, spat on them, and started digging without saying a word.

Two other young police officers also began digging.

There's a little-known fact that most people don't know: digging a hole is a very tiring and exhausting task!

If you were a murderer, you would know that hiding a body is harder than killing it, especially digging a pit to hide it.

On hard ground, even if you dig a pit three or four meters deep, deep enough for a person to lie down, and you have a whole day to dig, even if your palms are covered in blisters, you still won't be able to dig it out!

Many murderers lack this common sense.

Therefore, they thought digging a hole would be quick, which would lead to their own exposure.

The three policemen dug for a long time with great effort.

I had plenty of patience at first, but as I dug, a sense of restlessness welled up from the bottom of my heart.

They dug from 2:30 to 3:00.

They dug from three o'clock to nearly four o'clock.

"Sizzle!"

With one stroke of the hoe, Officer Li cursed:

"Damn it, I hope it's not a false alarm!"

"Speaking of which, last year I received a call reporting that someone had kidnapped his daughter. I led a whole squad to the scene, and guess what?"

"It's a dog meat vendor who catches stray dogs. That family didn't leash their dog, and the vendor snatched it away, claiming it was their daughter. What a waste of the squad's manpower!"

Hear this.

The other police officer, Xiao Zhao, seemed to have thought of something and nodded repeatedly.

"Yes, two years ago there was a case of someone making a false police report, taking a photo and pretending to be dead at the police station, then hiding away, inexplicably wasting the police force of an entire brigade!"

The two of them dug while cursing each other.

until.......

"Sizzle!"

In a daze.

As Xiao Li was complaining, his shovel seemed to have struck something. He paused slightly, then stared intently, his eyes widening in surprise.

"There's something there!"

Is there something there?

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Jianshan and Xiao Zhao hurriedly looked over, and what they saw was a rib!

This is......

Remains!?

The three exchanged a glance, their constricted pupils clearly revealing the turmoil in their inner emotions.

"Be careful!"

As soon as Zhou Jianshan finished speaking, he dug several dozen centimeters deeper and just then unearthed a head that was nothing but bones. In the distance, one could still vaguely see the person's casual clothes, though the clothes had already rotted away.

"Who in the Wu family is this!?"

Zhou Jianshan stood on the shore, staring intently at the corpse in the grave mound, his chest heaving violently.

"I don't know, Wu Tao is the only one in the Wu family..." Han Li leaned closer and was also quite shocked. She immediately took a few steps back. "I've never seen anyone wear this kind of clothing before..."

They are not from the Wu family.

In other words, they weren't even from Zhu Family Village...

People from other villages, appearing here out of nowhere? And being buried in the ground for no reason?!

Zhou Jianshan was breathing rapidly, his mind a jumble of thoughts, and he was still pondering.

In a daze.

"Master, there's still a clue here!"

Beside him, Xiao Li carefully searched the excavated soil, and soon he had a transparent sealed bag in his hand, which was obviously thrown in by someone.

Zhou Jianshan leaned closer to take a look, and then a look of astonishment appeared on his face.

The sealed bag contained two photos.

One of the photos is related to the skeleton found in the pit; judging from the fact that the flesh hasn't yet decomposed...

"Isn't that Wang Han, the reporter who went missing?"

Zhou Jianshan looked surprised and recognized Wang Han in the photo.

There weren't many cases in Yanzhou City, but he recognized the person involved in the disappearance case three years ago, however...

"Wasn't Wang Han supposed to live in the city center? The two places are dozens of kilometers apart, how could he be buried here?"

"He was killed? Who killed him!?"

Zhou Jianshan felt his blood boiling, as if he had committed some major crime. He gasped for breath, and countless questions surfaced in his mind.

The disappearance case wasn't a disappearance, it was a murder!

Until... another photo appeared.

Judging from the angle, this photo appears to have been taken secretly.

Of course, the most important thing is the content of the photo. In the photo, three people are holding up a middle-aged man wearing a white hard hat. One of them, with a ferocious expression, is raising a blunt weapon and smashing it on the man's head.

And this person.......

The moment Zhou Jianshan recognized the man, his heart tightened, his shock was palpable, and his pupils contracted to pinpoints.

"Sun Hu!!!"

......

......

at the same time.

Yanzhou Intermediate People's Court.

Inside the spacious First Courtroom, hundreds of people sat densely packed around the solemn and dignified courtroom, all holding their breath and focusing their attention on the trial area in the center of the courtroom.

This is the entire Hai Van province, with countless media reporters and residents.

At this moment, everyone gathered in the courtroom, which was packed with people.

The trial for the Kiyama case has begun.

The trial was scheduled to begin at 1:30 PM, and now it's already 4:00 PM, a full two and a half hours have passed, and the trial is gradually coming to an end.

only......

This ending, however, was the scene that no one wanted to see the most.

All I saw was...

Inside the trial area.

As Judge Yang Chengjun began to speak, everyone in the courtroom held their breath, their fists clenching.

"Prosecutor, regarding this case, do you have any further evidence to present?"

On the bench, Judge Yang Chengjun frowned, his gaze shifting to the prosecution.

The prosecution.

"presiding judge......"

Prosecutor Zhao Qian took a deep breath, glanced at the empty seats for civil litigation agents, sighed inwardly, and then said in a deep voice:

"In this case, we believe that the defendant, Zhu Dali, has repeatedly changed his testimony..."

"His testimony should not be taken as fact without authorization, and the case should be retried..."

Upon hearing this...

Presiding Judge Yang Chengjun shook his head slightly.

He was asking for evidence. If the other side could provide even one piece of objective physical information that raises doubts, the case would still have a chance to go.

But unfortunately... in the case of Mushan, Zhang Mushan's death was too simple, leaving no clues for investigation, so the prosecutor naturally couldn't answer the question.

Zhao Qian wanted to say something more, until Yang Chengjun's loud shout came from the judge's bench.

"Prosecutor!"

"Do you have any new evidence to present?"

Judge Yang Chengjun, with a stern expression, questioned the judge in a stern voice.

He sat upright on the judge's bench, his body thin but exuding an awe-inspiring presence.

Zhao Qian opened his mouth, but he really couldn't say anything more.

"We have no new evidence to present."

Upon hearing this...

Yang Chengjun nodded, remained silent for a moment, and looked at the defendant.

The defendant's case is the same as the one at the last hearing.

In the defendant's seat in the center of the trial area, only Zhu Dali was sitting; Sun Hu was nowhere to be seen... The police couldn't find any information about him, and without evidence, they naturally couldn't bring charges!

Two people were seated at the defense counsel's table: Yan Mi and Zhou Ning.

At this moment, Yang Chengjun asked:

"Defendant, do you... have any new evidence to submit? Also, do you have any new questions regarding this case?"

Upon hearing this...

At the lawyer's seat.

Lawyer Yan Mi breathed a deep sigh of relief. At this moment, a smile returned to his face, and he glanced at the empty seats of the prosecutors on the side of the case.

The case... is finally coming to an end!

After two months of scheming and intrigue, the other side ultimately made a mistake and was simply out of luck, and was completely kicked out of the trial!

But... the legal profession is cruel, and Yan Mi won't let someone off the hook just because they're unlucky.

"Your Honor, we have no further objections!"

The lawyer spoke in a loud and clear voice:

"In this case, the process is clear, the details are meticulous, and our defendant is willing to plead guilty."

"Despite his egregious behavior, he ultimately repented and earnestly requests the court to grant him leniency."

"Apart from that, we have no objection."

"Please, Your Honor, decide!"

Decide...

The moment those two words fell.

Suddenly, a creaking sound rang out in the courtroom as someone clenched their fist, making a cracking sound from their bones.

Some people had their brows furrowed and were clenching their teeth.

But in any case, the entire spacious First Courtroom was unusually quiet until...

"Bang!"

A crisp sound rang out.

On the judge's bench, presiding judge Yang Chengjun took a deep breath, and then a loud voice swept through the hundreds of people in the courtroom.

"Now, let's begin the sentencing!!!"
