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

Chapter 116 Awaiting Trial! Serving as a Witness! [Bonus Chapter!]

"Forty million, I gave you forty million!"

"You are breaking your promise! I protest! I protest!"

"I demand immunity! I demand your extradition back to my country!!!"

"."

Wang Hai's words roared to the very end.

All that was left for him was the beeping sound.

The other party hung up the phone.

Suddenly.

Wang Hai felt as if his spine had been removed, his brain was deprived of oxygen, and he collapsed to the ground with a blank expression.

Inside the police station office.

At this moment, Zhao Ge, Du Tao, and others were standing in front of the screen, looking on with wide-eyed amazement.

The screen showed Wang Hai!

"Wow, it really works!"

"In just a few days, the Xiang Kingdom really gave up on extraditing him back home!"

"That's right. I reckon Nata knows the purpose behind Counselor Li's words, but he just has to hold his nose and jump in!"

"Who came up with this idea?"

The crowd discussed the matter animatedly, expressing their deep feelings about it.

They are still gathering evidence themselves and secretly investigating overseas.

Who would have thought that a single act of sowing discord would cause the previously deeply intertwined relationship between Wang Hai and Nata to fall apart?
Can you imagine that scene?
Just a second ago, Nata was racking his brains trying to figure out how to protect Wang Hai.

The next second, the other party wanted to kill Wang Hai even more than Dong Guo did!
"What's next?"

Suddenly someone spoke up and asked a question, finally looking at Zhao Ge.

Zhao Ge recalled the plan he had devised and said:

"Just a normal court hearing."

Wang Hai should have been preparing for his trial long ago!

Nata simply gave him a second chance at life.

For the police, Nata's only value lies in the fact that they still don't know who his contact is in Elephant Country.

But this does not conflict with the court hearing.

"Then let's send it to court for trial."

Some people nodded and looked at the people from the Supreme People's Procuratorate.

"Thank you."

“No trouble at all,” the person from the Supreme People’s Procuratorate said.

Just as the other party was about to take the person away.

"Oh, right."

Zhao Ge suddenly seemed to remember something and said:

“When you’re in court, remember to use the evidence provided by Xiang Guo.”

The person from the Supreme People's Procuratorate paused, then their eyes twitched.

Wang Hai was so angry he almost died.
“Okay, I’ll talk to the district attorney.” They nodded, put their coats on, and then walked out.

The people in the office were still clicking their tongues in amazement.

"Whoever came up with this idea is really cunning."

"Use the evidence provided by Xiangguo to sentence Wang Hai to death. To be honest, if Wang Hai isn't driven to his death by anger, he will definitely retaliate against Xiangguo!"

"The police hardly needed to conduct any investigation; both sides provided all the clues."

"The only thing to do is to verify the testimonies and evidence!"

"."

This tactic is so effective that it forces the murderer to provide evidence of his own death!

They don't even have to lift a finger!
Really, they really didn't do anything. At most, Li Yang just whispered a little something, and within a few days, Nata broke ties with Wang Hai!
"Who came up with this idea?"

Someone looked at Zhao Ge and asked.

Who is his master?

Hear this.

While investigating the other cases and acting as a transparent figure, Su Guo suddenly paused, his mind subconsciously turning to that old guy, Wu Chengjun.

Wu Chengjun's lifelong reputation is legendary.

He was about to retire, but ended up ruining his reputation in his later years!
Su Guo smiled, but the smile only lasted a few seconds before he froze.

wrong.

Back in the hospital, Xu Liang seemed to have taken advantage of the situation and started calling me "teacher"!
Su Guo's smile froze on his face.

broken
11 month 14 day.

Weather: Sunny.

The November sun is not as scorching as it is in August and September; its warmth is comforting.

Eight in the morning.

Inside the Hongfu Street Conscience Office.

"Squeak~"

Yang Ruoxi yawned and pushed open the door of the law firm. She was just about to clock in when she suddenly heard a voice.

"Little Yang, you're late again."

Looking up, she saw Xu Liang sitting on the sofa, looking at her with a face full of dissatisfaction.

"You can forget about getting your perfect attendance bonus this month!"

Yes.

Yang Ruoxi joined the law firm, and Xu Liang signed a contract with them.

The other party is competent, has never let him down, and has helped him so much; there's no reason not to sign.

The key is
It doesn't matter if your skills aren't up to par.

The other party will starve to death on their own and will not cause any trouble for the law firm!

But
Upon hearing this, Yang Ruoxi smiled.

"You're talking like you'll give me a full attendance bonus if I have perfect attendance."

"Don't you want to laugh at yourself for saying that?!"

She wasn't the first person to sign a law firm contract, so how could she possibly have perfect attendance?
Furthermore...
Yang Ruoxi glanced at Xu Liang from head to toe with a look that was extremely humiliating, making Xu Liang feel angry and ashamed.

You're dirt poor.

"Where will the money come from to pay my salary?"

Under normal circumstances, a lawyer's main income comes from contract fees, and the fixed salary a lawyer can provide is not much.

Lawyers rely on law firms because law firms can more easily find clients. Similarly, the more famous a law firm is, the more large contracts it usually gets.

Yang Ruoxi has not accepted any commissions for the time being.

Meanwhile, her position was Xu Liang's assistant, and her monthly salary was less than a thousand.

one thousand?
In the past five months, Xu Liang has spent more than a thousand yuan on gas while riding in her car!

Fortunately, Xu Liang has a thick skin.

"It's alright, Little Yang, you have to believe in us, we will grow bigger and stronger!"

Xu Liang spoke with a serious expression:

"By then, I'll be the big boss, and you'll be the law firm's partner. We'll be flooded with contracts worth tens of millions or even hundreds of millions!" "We'll just be responsible for counting money until our hands cramp!"

If you want to start a business, you need to learn how to use a CPU first!

but
"Lu Yao hasn't paid yet, has he?" Yang Ruoxi said with disdain.

It's been almost a month.

Lu Yao's case is not over yet.
It's as if Xu Liang is destined not to earn the other party's money!
This is only a few hundred thousand orders and it's already so difficult, yet Xu Liang is still promising him tens of millions.
"I reckon it'll be soon."

Xu Liang thought for a moment and began to calculate the time.

Since giving Li Yang advice last time, Li Yang has not contacted him again.

That's normal, after all, they need to avoid suspicion.

The fact that he didn't reply also confirmed that the Consular Department had indeed used this tactic; otherwise, Li Yang would have at least made a phone call to him.

Since it has been used
"If I do the math, Wang Hai's break with the embassy should happen in the next few days."

Xu Liang gave a clear answer.

"When the time comes, Lu Yao's money will naturally be ours!"

Upon hearing this, Yang Ruoxi nodded.

"Makes sense."

A crisis of trust can happen very quickly; people can collapse in a day or two of suspicion!
The tactic used by Xu Liang can be seen as a 'prisoner's dilemma'.

In the prisoner's dilemma, in most minor cases, the perpetrator will confess everything in less than an hour.

Even slightly larger murder cases will only last about a day.

The fact that Wang Hai and Nata managed to hold out for a week before turning against each other is quite remarkable!

Just as Xu Liang was trying to guess something...
“Buzz buzz buzz~!”

A vibration suddenly came from my pocket.

Xu Liang swallowed his words, took out his newly bought phone, glanced at the number and dialed it after realizing it wasn't a familiar number.

"Hello? Who is it?"

The dialer's voice came through the speaker.

"It's me, Chen Changchun."

The call was from Chen Changchun.

Xu Liang raised an eyebrow and continued to ask:

"Does Captain Chen have something important to discuss with me?"

"It's not a big deal. Wang Hai's case has been handed over to the procuratorate."

Wang Hai was transferred to the procuratorate, which means...
They actually used their own underhanded tactics!
Xu Liang raised an eyebrow.

It's like speaking of the devil; I was just talking about the case a moment ago, and the news came right away.

Once the arrow is released, there's no turning back.

Once you use it, everything that happens afterward will follow the expected plot!
only.
"Is there anything else?" Xu Liang asked, somewhat suspicious.

Chen Changchun continued:

"Of course."

“Even though you’re not a defense lawyer, you still have to go to the trial.”

"The prosecutor's office has asked the police to notify you that the court hearing is on November 24th. Remember to be a witness."

As he spoke, Chen Changchun's tone carried a hint of amusement.

Far away at the police station, he switched hands to hold the phone and smiled:

"correct."

"There is also a lawyer representing Wang Hai in this case."

"On the day he came to the police station to understand the case, he realized something was wrong and tried to run away, but he was stopped by the contract breach penalty."

"Originally, Wang Hai didn't care much about this lawyer; he just thought that he would need a lawyer to communicate during the extradition process."

"Who would have thought that now that the embassy has abandoned Wang Hai, Wang Hai is placing all his hopes on them."

"You didn't see it, but when Wang Hai told him to do his best, the lawyer's face turned completely green!"

As he spoke, Chen Changchun burst into laughter.

This case had been weighing on his mind for almost a month, and now that the trial was about to begin, he naturally felt extremely relieved.

And that's what he said.

Xu Liang also recalled the lawyer who had asked him for directions.

It still has to be the other party.

He defended Wang Hai, standing firm against six ministries and confronting the Supreme People's Procuratorate, the Supreme People's Court, the National Supervisory Commission, and the Ministry of Public Security without flinching!
Just thinking about the courtroom scene.

The people from the Sixth Department might go to the audience and silently watch Qian Li as he defends Wang Hai.
Xu Liang and Yang Ruoxi couldn't help but laugh.

The top lawyer in Hanhai, without a doubt!!!
only.
"I'm actually going to be a witness?!"

Xu Liang looked surprised.

His expression immediately turned strange.

"What's wrong? You don't want to?" Chen Changchun was taken aback.

It's not that I'm unwilling.

Xu Liang fell into deep thought, and slowly began to speak:

"It seems that this evidence of mine was obtained illegally."

Yes.

Xu Liang illegally entered someone else's address, secretly took photos, and was alone when investigating inside the abandoned building!
It doesn't look legal at all.

Courts generally disregard such witness testimonies.

"By the way, do you know who's in charge of this case at the court?"

Xu Liang thought for a moment and then asked.

Are you in charge of the case?

That must be the presiding judge.

Chen Changchun actually knows this.

"[Wang Hai's Case] ​​caused a great deal of trouble and involved many things."

"Therefore, the selection of a presiding judge must be extremely cautious!"

“In the past, it might have taken a long time to find one, but this year is different. This year, a judge with outstanding resilience and ability has emerged, who has taken on two major cases in just six months!”

"This person is indeed..."

Chen Changchun smiled and said:
"Judge Zhao Yi!"

"The judges of the Intermediate People's Court of Hanhai City unanimously elected him to preside over this case!"

"This judge is quite responsible. I heard from others that he was so moved when he took on the case that he almost cried!"

Zhao Yi?

Xu Liang's eyes lit up.

An acquaintance!
Since they are acquaintances, they shouldn't mind the evidence that I obtained illegally.

"to make."

Xu Liang said with a smile, "To be honest, I've missed Zhao Yi quite a bit since we last met a month ago."

"Then I'll wait for the court hearing!"
