Who Made Him a Lawyer?-Chapter 108 - 104: Joint Investigation by the Six Ministries

"We're here!"

Inside the Hanhai City police station.

Lu Yao returned here, a slightly emotional expression on his face.

"Let's go inside first."

Xu Liang suggested, and Lu Yao nodded.

The three of them stepped through the main entrance and headed towards the lobby.

As they entered the lobby, before Xu Liang could say anything...

In the next moment...

A familiar figure descended the stairs.

Wang Chao, who had been waiting for a long time, saw the familiar car and immediately approached.

"Brother Liang, I'll take Mr. Lu to see Captain Liu."

He said expressionlessly.

Wang Chao's injuries were far lighter than Xu Liang's; he had long since been discharged from the hospital and returned to the police station.

Xu Liang nodded and then looked at Lu Yao.

"Mr. Lu, please... take care of yourself."

Lu Yao didn't catch the implied meaning but smiled and nodded.

"Lawyer Xu, wait for me."

With that, he followed Wang Chao and walked into the distance.

Watching his back, Xu Liang sighed deeply.

"Sigh."

Lu Yao had been searching for Wang Cuiping for ten days.

He even spent hundreds of thousands, only to end up seeing his mother's corpse...

To be honest, Lu Yao could very well have had a mental breakdown on the spot.

And in situations like this...

Lu Yao is definitely not the only one!

In the past few decades, it's impossible that Wang Cuiping was the only one wrongfully arrested, but families might not even be able to find any surveillance footage, and even if they report it, the police can only file it as a missing person case.

"Tsk, I wonder what the higher-ups will decide."

Xu Liang and Yang Ruoxi sat on a bench, clicking their tongues.

Suddenly, a voice sounded nearby.

"Severely punished, heavily punished!"

Hearing the voice, Xu Liang looked up.

He saw Chen Changchun, holding a thermos cup, walking from the yard into the lobby, happening to run into Xu Liang.

Seeing Xu Liang,

Chen Changchun's expression slightly softened. He took a deep breath and said gravely:

"I was just looking for you, called you several times but no answer."

Call?

Xu Liang looked helpless, "My phone was smashed a long time ago, and the SIM card can't be used."

In the abandoned building, if his phone hadn't blocked a hit for him, he might not have made it back...

He hadn't had the chance to buy a new phone, so it's no wonder Chen Changchun couldn't reach him!

"Right, Captain Chen, what did you want to see me about?"

Xu Liang suddenly realized, looking at Chen Changchun with curiosity.

There must be something important if he called!

"Nothing much, the Upper City sent down a supervisory team."

"Your role in this case is very important, so the provincial task force wants you to testify in court, to lend authenticity to the evidence."

Chen Changchun explained.

Witness testimony?

Xu Liang raised an eyebrow.

Seeing his reaction, Chen Changchun added, "Don't worry, it'll be quick, it won't drag on."

Xu Liang shook his head.

Raising an eyebrow wasn't about that, rather...

"Can I really be a witness?"

Xu Liang pointed to himself, somewhat in disbelief.

Honestly, it wasn't out of arrogance.

He thought he would already be known in the judicial circles.

And the most crucial aspects of a witness are truthfulness and impartiality.

Did he really possess these qualities?

Even more so...

"I think I obtained the evidence illegally."

Xu Liang felt a bit embarrassed.

Indeed.

Without a search warrant, gathering evidence privately in the middle of the night, normally a judge wouldn't even consider it...

Chen Changchun didn't expect he'd say that.

Chen Changchun hesitated for a moment, but still nodded and said:

"I wouldn't know, anyway, that's what the task force asked me to tell you."

Hearing this, Xu Liang agreed.

Whether it was illegal or not, didn't matter.

After all, it wasn't his headache!

As long as the judge accepted it begrudgingly, it would be fine.

As for which judge... that's none of Xu Liang's business either.

"By the way, did Upper City send a supervisory team over?"

Xu Liang raised his eyebrows, curious, "From which supervisory department?"

Hearing this, Chen Changchun's expression turned strange. He looked at Xu Liang and, after a while, uttered two words.

"You guess."

"Guess?"

Xu Liang rubbed his chin, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Discipline Inspection Commission?"

In the Chen Dong case, there was the presence of the Discipline Inspection Commission; they might be supervising this case too, and from the case perspective, it does fall under their jurisdiction.

Chen Changchun nodded and then shook his head.

"Keep guessing."

"Not the Discipline Inspection Commission?"

Xu Liang was surprised, and then said, "Supreme Prosecution Office?"

The Su Guo in Zheng Mei's case was from the Supreme Prosecution Office, and they had been in Hanhai City for quite some time...

Chen Changchun still nodded and then shook his head.

This left Xu Liang a bit puzzled.

Got it right or not?

"Continue." Chen Changchun said.

"It can't be the Supreme Court, right."

Xu Liang tugged at the corner of his mouth and gave an answer.

Chen Changchun still nodded and shook his head, but this time he didn't keep him guessing, he directly said:

"Not just them!"

"All three of these!"

"Additionally, there are the two departments of public security and justice, as well as the judiciary!"

Xu Liang paused, and then his pupils suddenly contracted.

He instinctively spoke:

"Six ministries investigating together!?"

As soon as he said this, even Yang Ruoxi, standing nearby, clicked her tongue and covered her lips, her face full of shock.

Chen Changchun nodded.

"It's exactly the six ministries investigating together."

And these six departments are all extremely prestigious ones!!!

Usually, just one of them is enough to make people tremble with fear, and two would make Chen Changchun's legs go weak.

But six of them...

Chen Changchun was not weak anymore.

He knew that such a level of artillery, even if fired in sequence, would not affect a lowly captain of the criminal investigation team like himself.

"Tsk, this Wang Hai..."

Xu Liang felt extremely shocked.

From the members who were supervising from Upper City this time, he knew the other party's determination.

The thorn that is Wang Hai must be removed!

"He certainly made it worth it."

Xu Liang clicked his tongue and said, drawing such attention for a small fry like Wang Hai was indeed worth it.

Chen Changchun also agreed deeply.

Just as the two were sighing.

Suddenly...

"Ah!!!"

A familiar and piercing sound exploded beside them.

"Wooooo..."

Next was a bout of wailing crying, heart-wrenchingly.

Xu Liang and Chen Changchun instinctively looked over, only to see the source of the sound was in the direction Wang Chao had left, and they immediately understood the reason and consequences.

Chen Changchun was a bit puzzled.

"That's Lu Yao's voice."

Xu Liang explained.

Hearing this, Chen Changchun sighed and immediately understood.

He had investigated Lu Yao's background and could understand the other party's emotions.

Wang Cuiping was not Lu Yao's biological mother.

Decades ago, Wang Cuiping lived deep in a mountain village, with no hope of leaving, and Lu Yao was a child found by her in the fields, discarded by someone unknown, with a piece of paper beside him, asking people what was written, they found out it said 'Lu'.

Afterward, Wang Cuiping named the child Lu Yao.

A woman living alone deep in the mountains found it hard enough to survive, let alone raise Lu Yao.

Wang Cuiping worked as a wheat harvester, washed clothes for people, and had to take care of the fields daily.

Lu Yao was supposed to have led this kind of life, but Wang Cuiping gritted her teeth to send Lu Yao to school.

Some people wanted to marry Wang Cuiping, but upon hearing she wanted to support a child unrelated to her bloodline, not even her own, to study, people immediately gave up the idea.

Without a man's support, Wang Cuiping gritted her teeth and provided alone.

She paid for the school fees with grain, if not, she went house-to-house pleading, borrowing money.

Lu Yao strived hard too.

In those days, he managed to learn all the way from the remote mountains to college!

Don't underestimate college; in those times, it was extremely prestigious!!!

After college, coincidentally with the economic opening, Lu Yao seized the opportunity, starting from a poor young man to become the current Boss Lu.

And even after becoming a boss, he never abandoned Wang Cuiping, who suffers from Alzheimer's!

But now he had become a boss.

His mother no longer needed to wash clothes and cook for others, or humble herself borrowing money, he could give her a good life...

But because he didn't close the door, Wang Cuiping went out and ended up dead...

"Let's go take a look."

Chen Changchun sighed, finished his cigarette, and then stepped towards the source of the sound.

"Don't let crying cause trouble."

Xu Liang and Yang Ruoxi followed.

Before long.

The two arrived at the 'forensics room'.

Since the Chen Dong case, the Hongfu District Criminal Investigation Team has been equipped with a forensic doctor, and this forensic room was renovated at that time.

Through the glass, the three looked inside.

Inside the forensics room, Wang Chao was silently standing aside.

On the mortuary bed, Wang Cuiping lay there, her entire body pale, with her bloody head still clearly visible, obviously having endured unspeakable torture while she was alive.

Lu Yao was slumped by the bed.

He looked at this woman who was not his biological mother, yet raised him as her own child, his lips moved, tears filled with the pain of grief gathering in his eyes.

A pair of hands trembled as they gently groomed Wang Cuiping's hair.

But as soon as his fingertips touched, he felt a chill, constantly transmitting the fact of Wang Cuiping's death.

"Ooh..."

Lu Yao's eyes brimmed like a dam giving way, the tears uncontrollably flowing, his anguished expression mixed with self-blame and guilt.

He knelt on the ground, his head resting beside the corpse's hand, sobbing painfully, his hands tightly clenched, nails deeply embedded into the flesh.

"Ooh..."

Those around listened silently, not knowing what to do.

For a long time.

No one could tell whether he was exhausted from crying or had run out of tears.

Lu Yao finally stopped wailing, and when he lifted his face, that ferocious face was calm... unusually calm!

He stood up, looked around, and soon spotted Xu Liang, slightly paused, and then walked over.

"Screech~"

The door of the forensic room opened, Lu Yao looked at Xu Liang.

"Lawyer Xu... I want to see the murderer."

See Wang Hai!?

Xu Liang paused.

It was natural for the other party to have this thought, but Lu Yao's current state...

To be honest, although he seemed calm, in reality... he might be on the brink of losing control.

Xu Liang didn't speak, he turned his head to look at Chen Changchun beside him.

Chen Changchun looked at Lu Yao's face, his lips moved, wanting to speak but hesitating, hesitating but wanting to speak.

But unfortunately, he couldn't bring himself to say the words of refusal.

In the end, Chen Changchun sighed deeply.

"Wang Chao!"

Standing by, Wang Chao responded, "Master, I am here!"

"Ask Captain Liu to arrange for Mr. Lu..."

"To meet Wang Hai."

"Alright!"

Wang Chao nodded and turned around to quickly handle the matter.
