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

Chapter 203 Xu Liang, the Unscrupulous One! [Seeking Monthly Tickets!]

"Five years ago, following instructions from above, a nationwide campaign was launched to seriously address the issue of human trafficking."

"All regions must implement this policy and report the results."

"Jiangcheng was no exception, so a large number of police resources were deployed during that period, including but not limited to police officers and traffic police."

"In January 2000, on the eve of the Lunar New Year, police were routinely mobilized to conduct street checks."

"I thought it would be the same as usual, but..."

Sun Chuan paused, then said in a low voice:
"A vehicle suddenly sped up and broke through the checkpoint while being inspected!"

"At the time, someone was conducting an investigation in the back of the train when he was suddenly dragged for a period of time, sustaining serious injuries. His hand has not yet recovered!"

While talking.

Sun Chuan seemed to recall the police officer who was hit by the car back then, and he couldn't help but frown when he mentioned it now.

Xu Liang listened patiently.

The other party then said:

"This car is going very fast, as if it's hiding something that can't be seen by others."

"Several checkpoints failed to stop him!"

"The police only arrested him after he ran into the river and had nowhere to escape."

A car that suddenly sprang up?

Do you just rush in as soon as you see a level?
Why did the other side charge?
"Is something hidden in the car?" Xu Liang frowned, recalling the deceased Qi Yu and the shelter for the disabled, and began to ponder.

There are essentially only two scenarios that can be implemented in these two locations.

1. Organ transplantation.

Second, human trafficking!
But the former transports organs by truck? Are you kidding me?!

What about the latter? Trafficking disabled people? Illegal factories might buy them, but how do you explain the corroded marks on Qi Yu's face?

Moreover, ordinary human traffickers would not resist so violently!

Unless it is hidden inside
Something that cannot be shown to others!
"That's what the police initially thought too."

Sun Chuan took a deep breath and said helplessly.

"At first?" Xu Liang was taken aback. Did the other person mean they didn't think so later?

Sun Chuan nodded, confirming the other party's guess.

"After stopping the other party, the police arrested the only driver."

"At the same time, an investigation was conducted into all items on the truck, but it was ultimately found that there was nothing there."

Sun Chuan looked helpless as he said this.

"The driver had alcohol on him, and it seemed like he was afraid of being caught driving under the influence."

"But based on the on-site investigation, the police suspect that the person had drunk alcohol before being arrested by the police."

"In other words, the other party was fully conscious when they were trying to break through the checkpoint!"

Therefore, it does not constitute the crime of fleeing the scene out of fear of being caught for drunk driving, or even causing a breach of the checkpoint.

Why did he run away?
"At the time, the police suspected that there was something wrong with the cargo. That night, the truck was transporting a batch of kimchi to other parts of the city for sale."

"Police later discovered that many jars were missing from the back of the train carriage, suggesting they were removed before the police made their arrests!"

"But the other party said that when they rushed through the checkpoint, the rear door of the truck was not closed, and some goods were shaken out, which is why there were so many missing items!"

"The police found many more along the way, but the numbers just didn't add up, at least."

talking.

Sun Chuan paused, then frowned and finally spoke:

"At least a dozen jars have disappeared!"

More than ten jars?
"What kind of jar?" Xu Liang asked.

Sun Chuan gestured with his hand, indicating that the mouth of the jar was about as thick as a person's waist.

A jar as thick as a waist, who knows what might be hidden inside?

Is it someone like Qi Yu?
Xu Liang didn't know, at least not at the moment.

"last question."

He collected his thoughts and asked:

"Who is that officer whose hand isn't fully healed?"

Sun Chuan paused for a long time before speaking in a somber tone:
"He is an orphan."

“His father and I were both anti-toxic police officers at the beginning. Later, his father took a bullet for me and died. Before he died, he entrusted his child to me.”

"Later, after I was injured, I was transferred to Jiangcheng. That kid also became a policeman in Jiangcheng. I just never expected this to happen."

As he spoke, an extremely complex expression appeared on his face.

A hint of sadness was faintly revealed in his eyes.

Xu Liang, who possesses a keen intuition, knew that the other party was not lying.

'Sure enough, there's a difficult conflict to resolve.'

After verifying my hypothesis.

Xu Liang then made his second request, which was...
Where are the people who were arrested now?

His eyes were sharp as he stared intently at Sun Chuan in front of him.

The other party replied directly:
"At Jiangcheng Detention Center, he was sentenced to fifteen years in prison for intentional injury, drunk driving, and endangering public safety."

Sun Chuan spoke up.

Police were unable to find any other criminal records against the individual at the time.

The goods being transported were in good condition, and the kimchi factory had sales records.

They didn't run into anyone while fleeing.

Police officers were only injured during the attempt to breach the checkpoint, so the punishment could not be severe at all.

"Is he still in the detention center?"

Xu Liang murmured to himself, his mind beginning to ponder.

The case from five years ago was indeed absurd; there was absolutely no way to investigate it. It seemed as if the person arrested had suddenly gone mad for no reason.

This can be viewed in conjunction with the current case.
Those ten or so jars that disappeared must have contained something extraordinary!
'Is it related to Qi Yu's death?'

'A jar big enough to hold a person. Are all these jars filled with people? People like Qi Yu?!'

'Are all the disabled people sourced from disability organizations and welfare homes?'

Xu Liang's mind was in a mess as a flood of information rushed into his head.

Unfortunately, based on the information available at present, he has no way of determining which parts of this information are correct.

After a long while, Xu Liang suddenly raised his head, looked at the other person, and said sincerely:

"Director Sun, could you take me to the detention center to see him?"

Sun Chuan paused for a moment, then happily agreed.

He truly never expected that the case he was asked to cooperate with in the investigation would be related to his mental illness!

He had thought the case from back then would just be swept under the rug, but now that the other party wanted to investigate, he was naturally overjoyed!
"it is good."

Sun Chuan nodded, then asked somewhat anxiously, "When do you plan to go to the detention center?"

Xu Liang thought for a moment, then uttered a single word.

"Now!"

Jiangcheng has its own detention center.

However, the detention center is not large, and there is no need to build a bigger one, since it is only a county-level city.

Normally, no major cases would happen, so Qi Yu's case was already considered a very unexpected case.

At 1:30 p.m., Xu Liang and the police decided to go to the detention center.

Both of them immediately got into the car.

A police car and a sedan.

It only took 20 minutes to arrive at Jiangcheng Detention Center at 2 PM.

After getting off the car.

The group immediately contacted the person in charge of the detention center.

The person in charge was a policeman in his forties who was somewhat familiar with Sun Chuan, but he was stunned when he saw Xu Liang.

"You want to see Zheng Shijie?"

The head of the detention center looked at Xu Liang with a strange expression in his eyes.

He pulled Sun Chuan aside and whispered to himself.

"Who is this person? Do you want to see him, or does he want to see him?"

Sun Chuan waved his hand impatiently and said:
"You can make the arrangements directly. This case is something that the higher-ups want to investigate."

He pointed to the top of his head, and the other person immediately didn't know what to say.

above?

Is the city investigating this case?

Why would a mentally ill person go crazy and warrant an investigation by the city?
The person in charge was a little confused, but still went through with the arrangements.

During this time, Xu Liang also asked Sun Chuan to bring over some information about the arrested Zheng Shijie.

This includes information about his family members and recent prison visit records.

"Tsk, they seem to have a good relationship. His wife comes to visit him every month."

Xu Liang glanced at the documents in his hand, a look of disdain on his face.

If this product is truly related to Qi Yu's death...
The sight of this loving, model couple disgusted him!
Sun Chuan remained silent, but he felt that Xu Liang was acting strangely.

Even if others think this way, they wouldn't say it so openly. On the contrary, it's the other party...
So straightforward!

"arranged."

Not long after, the person in charge of the detention center returned and nodded to Sun Chuan and Xu Liang.

"I'll lead the way."

After saying that, he took the lead and walked ahead.

Xu Liang and the others followed behind.

Before long, we arrived at the 'reception room'.

However, this reception room is not for receiving distinguished guests, but rather a place where the family members of prisoners come when they apply to meet with the prisoners.

Of course, this is limited to meeting and talking.

Even a handshake is not allowed!

I saw.

Inside the reception room, a middle-aged man with a buzz cut, wearing a yellow prisoner's vest, looked at Xu Liang as he walked in, a look of confusion on his face.

The two are separated by a glass panel, with only a microphone for speaking.

Xu Liang sat directly in the chair, facing Zheng Shijie, who was two meters away.

The person in charge and Sun Chuan came in and stood behind him.

Zheng Shijie immediately realized that the person who wanted to see him was Xu Liang.

He hesitated before speaking, "You..."

Unexpectedly, Xu Liang interrupted him directly, saying without any politeness:
"Five years ago, you lost more than a dozen pickling jars from the Jianghe Pickling Factory in Jiangcheng. There was something hidden in those jars."

"There should be something hidden inside the jar."

Xu Liang paused, observing the other person's micro-expressions.

When the jar was mentioned, Zheng Shijie's pupils visibly contracted slightly!
Although it was only for a moment, he still managed to capture it!
really
He narrowed his eyes and continued:
"There must be something hidden in the jar."

Upon hearing this, Zheng Shijie gave an awkward smile and shrank back, saying:

"No, I just drank too much. I thought I was doomed if I got caught driving under the influence."

I didn't think much of it.

Before he could finish speaking, Xu Liang immediately interrupted him.

"Zhang Yong!"

As soon as the two words were spoken, Zheng Shijie's pupils contracted.

"Zhao Hailong, Cheng Jia, Zhang Yong, you should be very familiar with these three people."

"I have a corpse in my hands now, a corpse that these three people produced. Do you think this corpse has anything in common with the one in that jar?"

Xu Liang probed, while observing the other person's expression.

After thinking for a while, he said again:
"For example, the corrosion marks on the face!?"

In an instant.

Zheng Shijie's arm muscle twitched, and his eye twitched.

Xu Liang immediately understood.

But Zheng Shijie spoke up:

"What?"

He frowned, looking puzzled, as if he didn't understand.

"What kind of corrosion damage?"

"Don't tell me?"

Xu Liang smiled.

"Actually, I think it's better to say it out loud, for both of us. After all, I'm not a really bad person, and I don't really want to do anything evil."

the wicked?

Zheng Shijie glanced subconsciously at Sun Chuan behind the other person and pondered for a moment.

With police backing
Surely they wouldn't resort to torture to extract a confession?
Furthermore...
Torture to extract confessions is fine!

He absolutely could not reveal the story of those dozen or so vanished jars!
Otherwise, you only have one path to face.

death penalty!

Even if the King of Heaven himself came, he couldn't be saved. No court in the world would sentence him to death with a two-year reprieve; at the very least, he would be sentenced to death, or even a hundred times over!
Five years ago, he was only sentenced to fifteen years. If he could endure fifteen years, or even have his sentence reduced, it might be less than fifteen years.

He'll be able to get out!
One is a death sentence, the other fifteen years; which is more serious? Is there even a question?
Unfortunately.
Xu Liang suddenly pulled out a notebook.

这 是
The logbook for the reception room.

Seeing this, Zheng Shijie was stunned, as were the head of the detention center behind him and Sun Chuan.

Before they could react, Xu Liang slowly spoke:

Zheng Shijie, 46 years old, male, married!

As he spoke, Xu Liang suddenly changed the subject, diverting the conversation to another topic.

"My wife, Zhao Yue, is 45 years old and unemployed."

"You also have a daughter, twenty years old, just graduated from university not long ago. Tsk, she can't take the civil service exam."

Xu Liang clicked his tongue in amazement.

He looked through the other party's family information in front of Zheng Shijie.

Zheng Shijie's heart tightened, his facial muscles tensed, and his eyes were fixed on Xu Liang.

"Who exactly is this person?"

The person in charge of the detention center felt that there was something wrong with the tone, and his eyes twitched uncontrollably. He looked at Sun Chuan beside him and asked in a low voice.

"How come this is happening?"

The person in charge was speechless, unable to utter a word, and Sun Chuan was almost speechless as well.

His lips moved for a moment, and finally he spoke:

"The people sent by the higher-ups should be good people, right? Anyway, they're here to investigate the case, so let's just watch patiently."

Hear the words.

The person in charge suppressed his inner unease and looked at Xu Liang, who was still introducing the family members.

"Tsk, Zhao Yue doesn't have a job, how can she support her daughter?"

Xu Liang suddenly clicked his tongue.

He revealed a playful smile, staring at Zheng Shijie with a grin.

"This money... came from the kimchi factory?"

"The kimchi factory is quite conscientious. The driver who delivered the goods committed drunk driving and was a criminal, but they still took care of his family. Haha, it can't be some kind of hush money, right?"

"After all, if this is hush money, then your daughter is just sucking people's blood by using this money to go to school."

Zheng Shijie remained silent, only staring at the other person with a livid expression.

He didn't know who the other person was.

But you could clearly hear the naked, undisguised meaning in the other person's words!
Xu Liang flipped through the records again.

"Tsk, Mr. Zheng and your wife seem quite loving."

"I come to see you every month, hehe, but she probably won't be able to come next month."

Zheng Shijie was taken aback.

Before he could ask, Xu Liang continued:

"Mr. Zheng, please guess."

"Did I meet with you first, or with Ms. Zhao first?"

The moment those words were spoken.
Zheng Shijie's pupils suddenly contracted, and his handcuffed hands straightened the iron chains, his pupils trembling continuously!

Sun Chuan, standing behind him, twitched at the corner of his eye.

His muscles were tense as he stared intently at Xu Liang.

"you"

"What do you mean!?"

Zheng Shijie squeezed out these words through gritted teeth.

"It's nothing, just a question."

Xu Liang smiled and spoke in a gentle tone, yet it was like a devilish whisper that made the other person's heart pound.

"you"

"Guess."
