Who Made Him a Lawyer?-Chapter 114 - 110: Breaking the Deadlock! The Ultimate Litigator!
"Didn't you promise me?"
Yang Ruoxi thought for a moment, helping Xu Liang recall.
"At the hospital, you asked Lu Yao and me to connect, and the case was temporarily handed over to me."
Xu Liang nodded, "Yes."
"So that's it!?"
"I definitely have to be your firm's person first, then I can work on the case!"
Yang Ruoxi replied, "Otherwise, wouldn't that be illegal? I don't engage in illegal activities!"
"I even asked you back then, and you said you'd hire me as an assistant once I was healed!"
Xu Liang frowned.
Did he... say that?
"You're not going back on your word, are you!?" Yang Ruoxi's heart skipped a beat.
"Am I that kind of person?"
Xu Liang retorted.
Yang Ruoxi sized him up and down, marveling, "Hard to say."
Xu Liang: ....
"We'll sign the contract later, discuss the salary and benefits, let's focus on the case first."
Xu Liang didn't bother to argue and redirected the conversation back.
"From what we can see currently."
"The case is in a polarized situation, either everyone wins or everyone loses."
"The current situation is that everyone loses, the Consulate Department can't handle the exchanges, the supervision team can't complete their task, and the police can't close the case."
"Wang Hai will remain stuck at the police station, and I won't get any money."
"This is what's called a lose-lose situation, with no winner!"
And this isn't even the most absurd part.
The most absurd part is...
There are only these two possibilities right now!
It's not possible to have two or three winners and the rest as losers!
So the case is just stuck like this...
"The root cause is still the relationship between the embassy and Wang Hai."
Xu Liang took a deep breath, took a piece of paper and a pen, and started writing and drawing on it.
In just a few seconds, he had laid out the logic clearly on the paper.
Yang Ruoxi leaned in to look, and her face showed a look of surprise.
"How strange!"
Yes, very strange.
The relationship between Wang Hai and the Elephant Country should be one of mutual exploitation.
Wang Hai uses Elephant Country's channels to sell resources obtained from various illegal activities, and Elephant Country uses the resources on the other side to bleed money!
Based on this alone, it's impossible for the embassy to be so obsessed with Wang Hai!
Unless....
"There's a deeper factor."
"It should be related to the issues in Elephant Country."
"I looked into the known information gaps last night and ultimately discovered...."
Xu Liang paused.
He then scribbled a few more spots on the paper.
"For the police, information on Elephant Country is almost a blank slate!"
Yang Ruoxi looked at these details and instantly understood, exclaiming in surprise:
"It really is!"
"Whether it's the identity of the trading partner or the trafficking channels... the police have almost no clues!"
The information Hanhai City holds includes direct criminal evidence against Wang Hai, Liu Shengjie, Zhang Mang, and others.
That is, for crimes like murder and kidnapping.
But for trafficking targets like human bones and organs, they're completely blank, completely unknown.
No...
Can't say they're completely unknown.
Wang Hai knows!!!
The information provided by Xu Liang before Liu Shengjie could destroy it was clearly stated that every transaction was solely conducted by Wang Hai with the counterpart.
In the entire criminal syndicate, Wang Hai is the only one who truly knows who they're dealing with.
He's also the only one who knows who receives the millions of dollars every year...
So...
"I suspect the reason the Elephant Country protects Wang Hai is not that Wang Hai is so important."
Xu Liang's eyes narrowed, and he circled Wang Hai's name with his pen.
"It's the people Wang Hai has connected that are important!!!"
"If Elephant Country doesn't protect him, and Wang Hai reveals anything... the situation could get really bad."
This statement was piercing!
Elephant Country is very chaotic, where criminals can have official facades, and officials can secretly be criminals.
This explanation isn't straightforward.
Let me give an example.
In a past case Xu Liang had heard of.
The main figures were people from the Eastern Country, six of whom had chemically burned faces and disabled limbs, begging in Elephant Country. Due to an alert informer, these six were handed over to the Elephant Country police.
What did the Elephant Country police do?
They claimed these six wore Elephant Country uniforms, had standardized begging tools, and intentionally came to beg in Elephant Country, dispersing along the border.
Hmm, people with disabled limbs managed to sneak into Elephant Country along the border, going through all that trouble just to beg across countries.
Ultimately.
The Elephant Country authorities labeled these six as 'voluntary beggars.'
A very bizarre case, which makes it hard not to suspect a criminal syndicate's involvement.
As for why anyone would target such pitiful beggars?
Begging isn't impoverished—it's insanely profitable, with monthly earnings starting from tens of thousands. Think about it, even if you only control twenty people begging for you daily, how much can you make in a year?
Wang Hai's business covered this aspect.
Wang Cuiping was caught because Zhang Mang targeted her, thinking she was suitable as a beggar, but she didn't survive the first round of beatings and suffered from the damage of animal anesthesia on her body...
So...
"I now guess the real intention of the other side might be to protect these people!"
Xu Liang frowned and said again.
Yang Ruoxi found this reasonable.
She even proactively added a point.
"And it's significant!"
"A million a year... that's not something grassroots can control."
Wang Hai isn't stupid.
He wouldn't pay a trading partner ten million when a million could suffice unless a million was not enough!
In 2004, even a million wasn't enough...
Moreover, with Wang Hai's wife's identity... grassroots people wouldn't even get to meet her, let alone give Wang Hai any semblance of exemption.
