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

Chapter 149 The Court Resumes! The Numb Zhao Yi! [A Long Chapter of 4000 Words!]

"Ah!"

at the same time.

Xu Liang, who had quietly entered the Hanhai City Women and Children's Hospital and was conducting an investigation in the archives room, suddenly sneezed.

He wiped his nose with a tissue.

Why do I feel like someone is talking about me?

Xu Liang muttered to himself.

Hearing this, Yang Ruoxi touched his forehead suspiciously, then said:

"I don't have a fever either."

"It's probably because of the temperature drop; the cool weather made him catch a cold."

"Hmm, don't worry about it, let's investigate first."

Xu Liang said casually.

At that moment, he appeared in the archives of a top-tier hospital in Jiangsan City.

Wang Chao and Liu Jin were around, and the four of them kept searching through some files and documents.

The doctor in charge, seeing this scene, hesitated for a moment before speaking.

After a long silence, Liu Jin suddenly spoke:

"Found it, Zhang Li's delivery details on July 12, 1987."

He was holding a stack of documents in his hand.

Upon hearing this, Xu Liang quickly went over to see.

When the document was unfolded, production data concerning a person named 'Zhang Li' was clearly visible on it!

"Duan Feipeng really was born on July 12th!?"

Yang Ruoxi's pupils suddenly contracted, and she exclaimed in shock.

"No, look at the blood type."

After careful observation, Xu Liang noticed something was amiss.

Upon hearing this, Yang Ruoxi continued reading.

But see.

The baby, born on July 12th, was diagnosed with type O blood!

However, Duan Feipeng, son of Duan Jianhao from the Duan Group, has type B blood.
"I think I understand now."

Xu Liang narrowed his eyes; he seemed to understand Zhou Ke's method.

Wang Chao scratched his head and looked at Xu Liang.

Finally, his eyes widened, and he spoke in a muffled voice:

"What's going on? Why are there two Duan Feipengs?"

Is it possible for a person to have two blood types?

Wang Chao fell into deep thought, trying hard to recall his junior high school knowledge.

"Simply put, Zhou Ke probably used a method similar to replacing college entrance examination scores."

Xu Liang spoke up.

"He found a woman with the same name, Zhang Li, and switched the birth dates of Duan Feipeng's mother, Zhang Li, with hers."

"Let Duan Feipeng replace the production worker on July 12th."

“The two shared the same birth information, and with the school registration and household registration information combined, the birth certificate was then amended.”

The method of replacing scores in the college entrance examination is roughly the same.

I just want to accomplish this.
It's highly likely that Duan Jianhao will have to spend a lot of money!
why?
Because the birth certificate was not amended during the court hearing.

It was on the eve of the trial!

Changing a birth certificate in a short time is reasonable considering the size of the Duan Group.

As for blood type, if the information doesn't appear in both versions simultaneously...

No one would notice, and the court had no reason to suddenly think that Duan Feipeng's blood type was incorrect.

And blood type is irrefutable proof!
Furthermore, the accompanying personnel and the signatures on the production agreement could not possibly be Duan Jianhao.

If investigated thoroughly, the age discrepancy can absolutely be confirmed!

However, it cannot be proven whether the other party's age has been reduced.
"However, Zhang Li's original record definitely still exists!"

Xu Liang then mobilized three more people to conduct another search.

There are many records to be kept about the birth of a child.

First comes X-ray, then routine checkups, including monitoring the fetus's development.

Xu Liang refused to believe that Zhou Ke could replace every single paper file that was more than ten years old!
only.

The doctor who had brought the four people with him felt increasingly uneasy.

The doctor really wanted to ask.

Didn't the four people say that the hospital might have wanted criminals, which is why they came to investigate?

How did the investigation end up involving a pregnant woman?
What connection could a wanted criminal have with a pregnant woman from twenty years ago?!

However, looking at Wang Chao's fist, which was bigger than his head...

And the other person's demeanor, as if they weren't thinking straight.

The doctor silently shut his mouth.

Yoshihisa
Yang Ruoxi suddenly spoke with delight:

"found it!"

"Zhang Li's pregnancy test report, April 11, 1985!"

Pregnancy test report?

The other three paused for a moment, then quickly got up and walked towards Yang Ruoxi.

What the other person was holding was a pregnancy test report for three months!

The information above is clearly visible!
Age, name, ID number
Everything is right!
"If the pregnancy was confirmed to be three months in April 85, then under normal circumstances, the baby would have been born at the end of 85 or the beginning of 86."

Xu Liang's mind raced with a flurry of thoughts.

"Duan Feipeng is not 17 years old now, but 19!"

19 years old?
Now you can take responsibility!
Yang Ruoxi was pleasantly surprised.

This evidence effectively nails Duan Feipeng to the spot, and no matter how much Zhou Ke struggles, it's useless!
"Not enough, keep investigating!"

"To prove that he is an adult, a logical loop is needed!"

"Medicine, society, and logic—these three are indispensable!"

Xu Liang suppressed his inner urges and ordered the other three to continue the search.

The East maintains a very cautious attitude towards children.

This is all that has been found so far. Although it may prompt the court to investigate further, it is not enough to secure a definitive conclusion.

Instead, it requires three levels of verification!
Medicine was what Xu Liang was investigating.

Social evidence includes things like how old the child looks, memories from relatives and friends, the full moon celebration, and photos taken shortly after birth.

Logical evidence can be understood as mutual testimony between two parties.

Finally, a logical closed loop was discovered!

Of course, bone age will also be checked, which is a medical proof, but if combined with social and logical considerations, the slight error caused by bone age will only make Duan Feipeng's fate even more uncertain!

It didn't take long.
"The timing for BCG vaccination has been found!"

"The vaccination is given 24 hours after birth. Duan Feipeng was vaccinated on October 14, 1985!"

"He's at least 19 years old now!"

Not long after, Liu Jin spoke again.

This investigation quickly spiraled out of control.

"We found the first pregnancy test report, and it has Duan Jianhao's signature on it!"

“We can determine if it’s the same person simply by verifying the handwriting!” Liu Jin said again.

Just like fingerprints, a person's handwriting can be verified by a professional organization and used as a substitute for fingerprints.

Duan Jianhao's signature on it proves that Zhang Li was indeed pregnant in 85!
It's impossible that she was pregnant with two-thirds of Nezha and then gave birth to him two years later in 87!
Even if it is, the one that is born is not a living person.

It was a mummified corpse-fetus!
"There's still a discharge date."

"I found the hospital records here."

"Wow, it's a VIP room! They're really rich!"

"."

The four of them worked tirelessly from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Even the doctors had already gone home.

The four are still under investigation.

It lasted until 7 p.m.

After Xu Liang compiled a complete set of logically rigorous medical evidence...
The four of them finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Things are much easier now.

This medical evidence, once the court combines it with Duan Feipeng's tests, will undoubtedly become irrefutable proof!

And what needs to be done next.
"Only social evidence needs to be verified."

Social evidence, if you still don't understand.
That can be understood as Yang Ruoxi finding the newspaper from June 1, 1987, at the newspaper office!

This is social evidence.

She wasn't pregnant on June 1st, but gave birth on July 12th – this is the evidence from society!

While this type of evidence is difficult to find, it is...
"Zhou Ke was dragged down by the court."

"We have plenty of time to investigate!"

1 month 5 day.

The court issued a notice of hearing.

The date is set for January 24th.

1 month 6 day.

Zhou Ke deliberately preserved evidence against Xu Liang.

He tried everything to create a scene where he was alone with Xu Liang and was 'accidentally' photographed. But unfortunately...

For several days in a row, he discovered that Xu Liang had stopped returning to the law firm and had no idea where he had gone.

A sense of unease crept into Zhou Ke's heart.

1 month 10 day.

The court still couldn't find any flaws in the evidence.

Zhou Ke breathed a sigh of relief, feeling grateful that his caution had saved him from a crisis.

But at the same time, he couldn't help but feel uneasy when he thought of Xu Liang.

He currently dares not send anyone to monitor the situation, and can only wait outside the law firm.

Just like the previous days, the other party wasn't even at the law firm.
A lawyer who frequently goes out
Zhou Ke felt nervous.

1 month 14 day.

According to Xu Liang's investigation, the hotel that hosted Duan Feipeng's full-moon celebration was eventually discovered.

He went to negotiate, but unfortunately, the hotel staff were too inflexible and wouldn't give him a chance at all.

At the same time, Xu Liang pondered whether or not to bribe someone.

1 month 15 day.

Xu Liang, once again abusing his power, called in the police to conduct a search.

The hotel manager was terrified.

He had thought they were there to check the money, but fortunately, Xu Liang only wanted to investigate an accessory to the ledger, namely a particular customer.

The manager immediately cooperated.

Xu Liang couldn't help but feel emotional.

Zhou Luren was right.

When you want to open a window but others disagree, you lift the roof off the house, and then they agree to let you open the window.

The hotel does not agree to your investigation of customer privacy.

But when you want to check the ledger, you are agreeing to allow them to investigate your client's privacy.

1 month 17 day.

Xu Liang went to No. 18 Middle School, and Zhou Ke immediately found his information.

But fortunately.

Instead of investigating the authenticity of his evidence, Xu Liang began asking his classmates about their opinions of Duan Feipeng.

Most people didn't dare to call the other party arrogant and domineering.

No one said what the other party did on the 6th.

It was just an objective comment that he looked older than his age.

Zhou Ke breathed a sigh of relief.

1 month 19 day.

The court staff, after nearly twenty days of investigation, were unable to locate the defendant at the school, revealing a flaw in the submitted alibi.

They gradually returned to the court and began dealing with the case.

But as time goes by...
All eyes were once again focused on the courtroom where the trial was about to begin!
Time flies.

In the blink of an eye, we arrived.
1 Month 24 Day!
The same day as the first trial and the second hearing!

A layer of fine snow fell from the sky, and the entire city of Hanhai entered winter. The air was like ice cones, chilling people to the bone.

Everyone put on a thick layer of warm clothing.

Even so.
Public attention to the 'Jinjiang Hotel corpse falling case' is not decreasing but increasing!

Far more reporters than ever before flocked to the courthouse.

Inside the waiting room.

"Sigh, I'm going to be busy now."

"If I had known, I should have postponed the trial to early February, at least we could have celebrated the New Year!"

"Hehe, early February. You were thinking that the trial would start in two days during the Lunar New Year. Didn't you have a hard time this year?"

"Alright, for now, let's make a judgment according to the law."

"It's difficult to judge."

"The panel of judges has already discussed it, so let's just go with their decision. What's the harm in getting a little scolding?"

"Hehe, that's more than just a little."

Inside the judge's waiting room.

All the judges, including Zhao Yiqi, gathered together.

Hearing the judge's voice beside him, Zhao Yi sighed.

For the past month, they have been unable to find any fault with the evidence provided by the defendant, Zhou Ke.

According to the law
If the plaintiff cannot provide any evidence.
Then they can only adjourn the court. If the other party still cannot provide the necessary information, the trial will proceed as normal, and Duan Feipeng will be declared innocent.

It's obvious that the announcement will be met with criticism.

And it wasn't just a little bit of criticism!

I reckon that when the case comes up during the Lunar New Year, Zhao Yi will be the first person to be scolded.

He felt that he had been incredibly unlucky in 04, being gradually forced into the position of judge.
But at least the case was judged fairly.

If there are any problems, they will be tried by the provincial court, which is the higher court.

With that thought in mind, everyone gathered their thoughts and glanced at the time on the wall.

"Alright, it's time."

Zhao Yi stood up, took a deep breath, and led everyone toward the courtroom.

"Go to court, then go home for the New Year!"

I heard the words "Chinese New Year".

The others got up and followed Zhao Yi down the corridor.

"Da da... da da da."

The dense footsteps of the crowd echoed in the corridor.

No one speaks.

Or perhaps everyone was preoccupied with their own worries.

Suddenly, Zhao Yi stopped in front of the courtroom.
Several bailiffs opened the door.

"Wow~!"

In an instant, a group of people appeared on the outermost layer of the courtroom.

Just one glance was enough to tell that there were definitely more people paying attention this time than last time!

Zhao Yi took a deep breath.

He walked heavily up the steps to the judge's bench.

After scanning the surroundings.

He leaned forward slightly, close to the microphone, and said in a deep voice:

"The court hearing is about to begin."

"Plaintiff and defendant, please enter the courtroom!"

Hear the words.

The reporters on the perimeter began to stir, and cameras were pointed at the gates on both sides.

Not long after.

The two doors were then opened.

Xu Liang and Zhou Ke entered together, one on each side.

The two immediately exchanged a glance.

Zhou Ke's eyes were downcast. He had already decided that if he couldn't win this trial, he would just drag the other party out of the courtroom!
In any case, only Xu Liang in Hanhai City dared to take on the plaintiff in this case.

Duan Feipeng could simply change lawyers, and as long as they take over his evidence, winning the case would be only a matter of time!
"Ah."

Xu Liang smiled and then led his men to sit in the plaintiff's seat.

Seeing that both sides had taken their seats.

Zhao Yi, also timing himself, spoke up:

"The court session will now continue."

"The case was first heard on January 2, 2005. The court was adjourned to verify the evidence. The trial is now resuming."

“During the last court hearing, the two sides had a heated discussion about whether the defendants colluded to give false testimony and fabricated false evidence.”

After Zhao Yi finished speaking, he turned to look at the plaintiff, Xu Liang, and said in a deep voice:
"The evidence presented by the defendant has been verified by the judicial authorities and the court."

"Court is now in session!"

Verification is required.

That means the evidence provided by Zhou Ke is valid!

Zhao Yi didn't give everyone time to think and spoke:

"Plaintiff, do you have any new evidence to submit after the recess?"

Xu Liang's eyes lit up.

New evidence?

Then he wouldn't stand on ceremony!
Just as Zhao Yi was conducting his routine inquiry.

Xu Liang suddenly spoke in a loud voice.

His voice reached everyone's ears, and even those who were drowsy were stunned.

"Your Honor, fellow journalists, I have a report to make!"

"The defendant's evidence is false and fabricated; the defendant's lawyer is suspected of fabricating and forging evidence!!!"

Zhao Yi: ?
reporter:?

Zhao Yi was stunned.

No, no, you're coming again?!
"Next, I'm going to tell you the truth about the case that only I have investigated!"
