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

Chapter 316 Judge Liu: What do you mean there's something even worse?! [Requesting monthly votes!]

What a joke.
What do you mean by "the hardest part is yet to come"?

Judge Liu looked astonished, his eyes filled with disbelief as he stared at Zhao Yi.

What was that I endured before?! Was it a dessert served before the table?

"What's the meaning!?"

Judge Liu asked the question, and a feeling of suffocation swept over his entire body.

"Literally, this kid liked to test people during the first trial and preferred to hold onto evidence tightly."

Zhao Yi spoke calmly. He was already used to Xu Liang's playing style and could guess what the other was planning even with his eyes closed.

"Do you remember the case in Hanhai City where a minor was changed to an adult and a body was found falling from the Jinjiang Hotel?"

Judge Liu suppressed his surprise and nodded, saying, "I remember."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yi smiled and said:

"This case lasted for three months, from December to February of the following year, with as many as three first-instance hearings!"

"He submitted the most important evidence on his third attempt, which completely turned the case around."

"But do you know when he found the decisive evidence?"

A case often has evidence that determines its outcome.

In that case, Xu Liang had three pieces of such evidence in his possession!

"When?"

Judge Liu asked hesitantly.

He was unaware of the details of this case.

Zhao Yi's lips twitched; even he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed just thinking about it. He immediately said:
"Following the debriefing by the judges of the Hanhai Intermediate People's Court."

"We discovered that the evidence he submitted at the third hearing may have been found before the first hearing!"

The evidence for the third instance was obtained before the trial even began!?

Then what's the point of having so many trials?!

Judge Liu was stunned; his mind went blank.

Despite having incriminating evidence, he stubbornly played along with Duan Feipeng for three months?
This guy is a psycho!

"He likes to test the waters, throwing out a small amount the first time to start testing the waters."

Zhao Yi's face showed emotion. He took another sip of tea, and his face showed a sigh.

"But I've always thought this kid was provoking me."

Judge Liu:
Did the lawyer provoke the presiding judge, and even provoke him for a full year, without being punished?
wrong.

Judge Liu suddenly realized what was happening, his face showing astonishment, and he exclaimed in shock:
"You mean the plaintiff's lawyer is still holding onto something he hasn't thrown out yet!?"

The moment those words were spoken, he nearly jumped up from the spot, staring at Zhao Yi in utter shock.

Immediately, I felt a chill run down my spine.

During the trial, the opposing party forcibly linked a bunch of important and thorny information to Zhengyang Mining Company, and even linked it to the deceased Zhang Shan.
The investigation into Wu Guotao and the court alone will take an unknown amount of time.

Tell him the result now.
This is just a test from the other side; they still have all the important evidence in their hands!
"That can't be right, the case has already evolved to this point."

Judge Liu began to hesitate after calming down.

"State-owned enterprises, police, courts, and even petitioning channels in Zhengyang City have been implicated, and it has even resulted in a death."

"Where can this evolution lead?"

Judge Liu looked puzzled and inwardly confused.

The crime took place in Zhengyang City.

Zhang Shan's case was thus confined to Zhengyang City.

The entire city of Zhengyang was implicated in the case, and even the provincial level was involved. No matter how hard they tried, they couldn't find anyone else who was related to the case.

That being the case.
What information could Xu Liang possibly have then?

"do not know."

Zhao Yi remained expressionless, took another sip of tea, then smacked his lips and said:

"However, I thought the same thing when I took over the 'Tianshan Hospital case' in Qingshi City."

A case of smuggling counterfeit drugs was transformed into a case of the hospital being the biggest blood trafficker in the area, and the victim being sucked to death.

The case was even changed from the Second Criminal Division to the First Criminal Division, a groundbreaking move that landed in Zhao Yi's hands!

I thought the second trial would only cover the Tianshan Hospital case.

Who would have thought?
"This kid has exposed another case of human experimentation. I don't need to say how many victims there are. The case has shocked the world."

Zhao Yi remained expressionless, his tone flat, devoid of any emotion.

"Yes, when I reviewed the case now, I realized that it happened during the first trial, before the case was transferred to the First Criminal Court, and even before the third hearing had begun."

"He's already found out about the hospital!"

"He spent nearly two months scheming, and finally it all came to light in the Supreme Court."

Judge Liu:
Why does it sound a little heartbreaking?
But seeing Zhao Yi's expressionless face, Judge Liu hesitated to offer any words of comfort.

Ultimately, he brought his attention back to the case at hand.

"Okay, thank you, Judge Zhao. I will be careful."

Judge Liu began to speak.

He had already figured it out; the case might involve some people in Zhengyang City, and the level of involvement might escalate further.

"Ah."

Zhao Yi nodded, then raised his hand, looked at the time on it, and raised an eyebrow.

"get off work."

After speaking, Zhao Yi got up and left the deliberation room, leaving Judge Liu and the other judges to continue discussing the case.

just.

During the discussion, Zhao Yi's words kept echoing in Judge Liu's mind, causing him to hesitate and unable to come up with a clear answer for a long time. He could only continue to have people verify the evidence.

"Hopefully, there won't be any further complications in the case."

Judge Liu thought to himself honestly.

7 month 19 day.

"Ah!"

Inside the courtyard, Xu Liang kept sneezing, and Su Yu thoughtfully handed him some tissues. Xu Liang took them and wiped his nose, then Su Yu asked in confusion:
"Why have you been sneezing so much these past two days, senior brother?"

"You have the flu?"

Xu Liang didn't answer immediately. He first wiped his nose, then threw the tissue into the trash can, looking puzzled.

"I don't know, but I don't have a fever, and my nose isn't stuffy."

After much thought, he finally came to a conclusion.

"Perhaps someone is thinking of me. After all, I've done so many good deeds, it's normal for a few people to keep me in mind."

Xu Liang said casually.

Although his morality and reputation fluctuate like the stock market.

But he felt he still had a good moral character, and if he put this into the stock market, he thought it would definitely rise all the way up!
"Forget it, don't talk about this."

Xu Liang shook his head and brought the matter back to the main topic.

"What has Zhu Haoyi been up to these past two days?"

"Has anything been found out?"

He had always suspected that Zhu Haoyi had a shady background, but the bastard hid it too well, and it was impossible to find out!

Only his resume raises suspicion, as does his alleged smuggling of state-owned resources.

However, there are many sea turtles these days, so we can't use that to suspect others.

Zhu Haoyi, who resold state-owned resources, was a businessman.

Businessmen make huge profits!

Besides Zhu Haoyi, there are plenty of other businessmen in the Eastern Kingdom who do this kind of thing, so it's impossible to use such things to label the other party.

But apart from these two points
Zhengyang Mining's performance was no different from that of an ordinary company, and it was considered normal business operation.

But Xu Liang still felt that something was wrong.
"This matter is handled by Sister Little Sheep."

Su Yu thought for a moment and then spoke.

Yang Ruoxi cannot practice law in Shangcheng; she can only work as Xu Liang's assistant, and she cannot even attend court hearings.

The reason lies with his father, Wang Yao, who was subject to the avoidance system.

Therefore, Su Yu accompanied him to court, while Yang Ruoxi handled the investigation.

Just as Su Yu was about to say something, a panting voice suddenly rang in her ears.

"It's so hot!"

Turn around and look.

Then they saw Yang Ruoxi, wearing denim overalls, slowly walking in from the doorway.

She immediately plopped down on the stone stool, her upper body resting on the stone table.

Feeling the coolness emanating from the table, Yang Ruoxi's face showed a hint of satisfaction.

"What have you been doing?"

Xu Liang moved closer to her and reached out to pinch the flesh on her cheek.

"How's the investigation going with Zhu Haoyi? You didn't do nothing, did you?"

Hear the words.

Yang Ruoxi struggled with her soft hands, trying to prevent the large hand from doing whatever it wanted.

"It's so hot! The temperature is almost 40 degrees Celsius today! Don't pinch me!!!"

She resisted, and seeing this, Xu Liang stopped teasing her and looked at her with suspicion.

Yang Ruoxi straightened up, tidied her hair, then faced the two of them and slowly said:

"Based on my observations over the past two weeks, I have finally..."

"No results!"

No...nothing to show for it?

Before she could ask a question, Yang Ruoxi continued:

"Zhu Haoyi and Li Yang have done nothing since they came to Shangcheng."

"Usually, I only go back and forth between the court and the police station, all of which are related to the case. At most, I also occasionally go to the market to buy some vegetables and cook."

Hear the words.

Xu Liang also frowned.

This is a perfectly normal route; there's absolutely nothing suspicious about it.

It's as if the other party came to Shangcheng specifically for the case. While that's true, there's one person in Shangcheng!
"Or have they agreed not to show up?"

Xu Liang fell into deep thought.

Zhu Haoyi disguised himself too well; the other party was like a smooth tortoise shell, and there was absolutely no angle to investigate!

If the other party hadn't received prior notification from the court and news reports, they wouldn't have been able to discover the case and come to Uptown beforehand.
Xu Liang couldn't even deduce whether the other party knew anyone in Shangcheng!
"That old fox."

Xu Liang rubbed his temples, feeling that the other party was simply a cunning scoundrel.

If he could catch the person who passed the message from the upper city, he might be able to grasp the crucial point in the case.

This leads to the deduction of Zhu Haoyi's true purpose, which is then presented to the court for Zhao Yi and Judge Liu to make a decision!

"Should I send someone to monitor him 24 hours a day?"

Yang Ruoxi made the suggestion.

Xu Liang hesitated for a moment, then shook his head.

"No need, to avoid alerting them."

Yang Ruoxi was able to keep an eye on the other party because the other party could interpret it as Xu Liang resorting to any means to win the case.

But if we send other people to keep an eye on it...
It might backfire and make the other party more alert.

"Never mind, it's lunchtime, let's eat lunch first."

Xu Liang shook his head and then prepared to cook.

People need to be healthy to function properly; no matter how important a case is, you still need to be in good health.

just
"Where are the vegetables? There are no vegetables in the fridge."

Yang Ruoxi excitedly opened the refrigerator, only to find it empty, and felt a wave of disappointment.

Xu Liang glanced at it and casually said:
"Let's go to the market and buy some."
