Who Made Him a Lawyer?-Chapter 117 - 112: The Persuasion Begins!
Li Yang and the oversight group are connected, but this matter is somewhat unethical, needing subordinates to handle it.
Also, direct contact with the oversight group is not possible.
Because this case is already committed to memory, handling it is very swift, and just a few minutes later, a subordinate walked over with a phone in hand.
"Advisor Li, this is a private contact."
The subordinate whispered a sentence, then handed the phone to Li Yang, and tactfully left.
Li Yang took the phone, glanced at the number, and then smiled and said:
"Prosecutor Su, what's the situation on your side?"
The call was with Su Guo, who was conducting a thorough investigation into the [Zheng Mei Case] in Hanhai City.
Both knew each other, since Wu Chengjun and Su Guo were friends, their recent students were all familiar with each other, only those taken in later who don't know each other well.
"What are you seeking me for, kid?" Su Guo said with a laugh.
"Hearing that you were going to Hanhai City, I wanted to show concern..."
Li Yang spoke a few polite words with a smile.
Soon after, he changed the subject and said:
"By the way, Prosecutor Su, can you currently contact the oversight group for the [Wang Hai Case]?"
"Oversight group?"
Su Guo paused. He was from the special investigation team; for the Wang Hai case, he only made normal reports, and indeed it's not under his jurisdiction.
After recalling for a moment, Su Guo paused again, opened his mouth, and said:
"Yes, the oversight group's police and justice departments are next to me."
"Do you have a matter to discuss with them?"
"Yes, a small private matter... but can also be described as public." Li Yang replied.
Hearing this, Su Guo was a little surprised, but still handed the phone to several men in administrative jackets beside him.
"I'll give the phone to them, you talk yourself."
Saying this, a burst of noise sounded in Li Yang's ear.
Not long afterwards, a not too unfamiliar voice sounded.
"I am Zhao Ge, Advisor Li, what is your business with me?"
"It relates to the [Wang Hai Case]."
Li Yang pondered for a moment, sitting on the sofa, changing his posture, recalling the words of Xu Liang.
After a while, he continued speaking:
"It's like this, Officer Zhao, on my side..."
"..."
He slowly revealed the plan, Zhao Ge initially felt okay.
But as he listened more, he started to feel something was odd, finally, his eye twitched.
"Your meaning is... let them fight among themselves!?"
"No, it's like the sandpiper and the clam fighting, with the fisherman benefiting!" Li Yang said with a serious expression.
He felt it necessary to protect the reputation of his junior disciple.
"What do you think?"
How...?
Zhao Ge and his colleagues exchanged a glance, their eyes all containing a peculiar expression.
This move... is truly sinister!
Clearly intended to sow discord, yet even knowing it's a tactic, the other side will fall for it!
Merely by listening to the description, they realized it was an unsolvable maneuver!
"Hold on, I'll call the oversight group for a meeting."
"At the earliest... I can get back to you in about an hour." Zhao Ge said.
The oversight group consisted of six ministries checking together, he alone had no authority to agree.
"Alright, I'll wait for your reply." Li Yang nodded.
Upon finishing his words, he hung up the call.
In the Hanhai City Police Department.
Having hung up, Zhao Ge scanned his surroundings with a bizarre look.
Everywhere he looked, people were staring at each other in confusion.
"Tss... it's long been said that the Consulate Department handles diplomacy, and diplomacy requires scheming, initially I didn't take it seriously, but now looking at it...."
The Ministry of Justice person clicked their tongue.
"It's indeed true!"
"Advisor Li seems young, and his voice quite bright, yet when employing tactics, he's..." he paused, finally changing his wording to: "calculating!"
Those around also nodded, agreeing with his words.
Yet....
"Calculating?"
Seated nearby, Su Guo rubbed his chin, feeling something was amiss.
Li Yang is quite familiar, they have shared many years of interaction, Li Yang is upright, practically a replica of Wu Chengjun.
This kind of cunning, used in a regular lawsuit, would definitely be criticized; could he think of this?
Moreover...
"Why does this tactic feel a bit familiar?"
Thinking this, his expression grew peculiar.
If remembering correctly, Li Yang was a student of Wu Chengjun, whose last student was... Xu Liang.
Suddenly!
All doubts were resolved in that moment, furrowed brows relaxed.
This kind of deviousness indeed doesn't align with Li Yang.
But very much with Xu Liang!!!
"Alright, this is serious, call back the departments for a meeting."
Zhao Ge spoke, while directly standing up, sweeping a gaze around, mentally calculating how many departments are absent.
Everyone heard and did not refute.
But all stood up, starting to make preparations.
Soon, one by one, main leaders rushed towards the police station.
...
All the way until eleven o'clock in the morning.
Li Yang finally received information sent from the oversight group.
They meant... to give it a try!
Since Wang Hai is in their hands and cannot escape, however they test is acceptable, even if it doesn't meet expectations, it's not a loss.
Given this.
Li Yang moved at the fastest speed to push this matter forward!
Hence...
"Initiate a discussion with us?"
"Are you certain that's what they said!?"
In the Elephant Country embassy.
Originally overwhelmed with work and pondering how to take Wang Hai away, Nata suddenly froze.
He looked at the perplexed subordinate in front of him, and spoke again:
"Why!?"
Nata was stunned.
Previously, the Consulate Department's Li Yang would avoid meeting him whenever possible, obviously buying time and bickering.
And the other side only initially initiated some discussions, until they showed a strong stance, followed by Li Yang realizing something, then never initiating again.
And now...
Why the sudden invitation!?
"Not sure, the Consulate Department's Advisor Li said it's an invitation for a case discussion with you."
"He said the meeting room from last time, set for one hour later, but if you're occupied, the time can be rescheduled."
The subordinate shook his head, saying.
Discussing the case?
Inviting them for a discussion? Surely the sun must be rising from the west...
The subordinate also felt it was a bit absurd and thus spoke, "Advisor Nata, could there be some trick in this?"
Nata pondered for a moment and eventually waved his hand.
"Prepare the car for me."
After speaking, he walked out.
A trick?
Nata wasn't worried.
Li Yang couldn't possibly have five hundred armed men hiding around, waiting to kill him on a signal, right?
Even if the so-called case was a trick... as long as he kept his mouth shut, what could the other party do?
Besides... Nata suspected that the other party might have discovered some information, whether true or false, and knowing wouldn't harm them!
Before long.
Nata got into a luxury sedan, and with the roar of the engine.
The vehicle soon stopped at the entrance of the Consulate Department.
Standing at the entrance with a smiling face was a subordinate of Li Yang, who stepped forward upon seeing Nata get out of the car and said with a smile:
"Honorable Advisor Nata."
"Advisor Li has been waiting in the meeting room for quite some time."
Nata nodded and, under the guidance of the person, once again walked the familiar route to the meeting room door.
"Squeak~"
The meeting room door opened.
Li Yang's face appeared from the door gap.
Upon seeing the visitor, Li Yang, who was originally sitting on the sofa, immediately stood up, extended his hand, and walked forward with a smile.
"Very pleased to see you again, Advisor Nata!"
"The main reason for calling you this time is some clues about the [Wang Hai Case]."
Nata shook hands with him expressionlessly, then sat on the sofa, listening to the other party's words, and his heart skipped a beat.
Some clues regarding the Wang Hai Case...
Li Yang didn't give him much time to think, speaking to himself:
"The oversight team from Eastern Country has already gone to Hanhai City to investigate the case."
"Preliminary judgment..."
As he spoke, Li Yang's gaze fixed and he pressed on the other party:
"This case involves an Elephant Country crime syndicate!"
"Multiple pieces of evidence indicate that Wang Hai has been smuggling illegal items, including human skeletons, organs, and commodities, into Elephant Country!"
Li Yang's gaze was somber, his finger pointing at the file on the table.
"Advisor Nata, please give us a reasonable explanation as soon as possible!"
Multiple clues!?
Nata's heart tightened.
As expected, he got entangled in it after all!
Nata's face darkened as he scanned the files on the table, becoming serious upon seeing the first one.
On it was the interrogation testimony of Zhang Mang!
The other party clearly explained multiple transactions with specific times, locations, people, and goods, pointing directly at Elephant Country!
'Damn...'
Nata cursed these cowards in his heart.
But outwardly, he remained calm and continued to look at the second document.
The second one...
It was still a testimony.
Nata paused, furrowing his brows as he continued to read.
Then the third, the fourth....
Finally...
"Advisor Li, is this all the evidence you have provided?"
Nata suddenly inquired.
Li Yang nodded solemnly, "That's right."
"But these are all just testimonies, witness statements, verbal evidence, without any conclusive proof!!!"
Nata's voice suddenly overshadowed Li Yang's.
His face showed anger, "Advisor Li, these are baseless slanders!"
"You cannot malign Elephant Country with unsubstantiated allegations!"
Li Yang's expression grew even darker, and his voice was forceful.
"But this is all the oversight team found!"
"There is no collusion or slander, and the witnesses are all from the crime syndicate!"
Nata stood up, very angry, "Criminal cases require evidence! They need concrete proof!"
"Advisor Li, be careful or you might provoke a diplomatic conflict!"
Li Yang also stood, his eyes locked onto the other's, and said:
"Whether these testimonies are true... the two parties will verify together!"
Nata stared intently at Li Yang, and after a long moment, turned and left without a word.
Before leaving, he only left one sentence.
"I will report these words to my superiors."
After saying this.
The meeting room door was pushed open, and Nata strode out.
In moments.
He furiously got into the waiting car.
As soon as he got in, his subordinate began speaking with a gloomy face:
"Advisor Nata, the other side is truly overbearing!"
"They dare to pressure us with baseless testimonies, totally disregarding us!"
To pressure someone without evidence... the subordinate looked a bit upset.
As for Nata....
He remained very calm, only frowning a bit.
After a long time, Nata suddenly asked:
"What do you think of the efficiency of Eastern Country's judiciary?"
The subordinate paused, then sighed, "Very efficient!"
Yes, Eastern Country's judicial department is extremely efficient, far surpassing the rest of the world!
This can be seen from the control of drugs and firearms.
Given this...
"The Six Ministries jointly investigating a case, do you think they can't find evidence against someone like Wang Hai?" Nata asked again.
The subordinate paused.
Indeed, with the Six Ministries investigating, there's nothing in the world they can't uncover!
In that case.
"Why would Advisor Li from the Consulate Department pressure me with only witness testimonies?"
Nata's gaze suddenly darkened.
"Tell me, is it possible..."
"That the Six Ministries found no substantive evidence, hence providing only witness testimonies?"
The subordinate froze.
If something exists, the Six Ministries will find it.
Unless...
The thing doesn't exist!!!
In an instant, the subordinate halted, then looked at Nata.
Nata was filled with frustration at this point, clearly upset.
He felt like he had been fooled by Wang Hai!
Nata said sternly:
"Contact Wang Hai!"
