Who Made Him a Lawyer?-Chapter 138 - 129: The Victim’s Identity! The Second Body! [5,000-Word Epic - !]
Wu Family Waste Recycling Plant.
Located southwest of No. 18 Middle School in Hongfu District, Hanhai City.
This place is close to the suburbs, with hardly any people around, making it an ideal spot for a landfill without worrying about complaints.
Generally, the landfill operates after eight in the morning.
Just that...
Four-thirty in the morning.
"Knock knock knock!!!"
A series of knocks pounded loudly on the iron gate.
The guard dog in the plant immediately started barking.
"Woof woof woof!"
"Woof woof!!"
"Awoo awoo awoo!!!"
The silent night was suddenly filled with noise.
Before long, footsteps could be heard from inside the gate.
"Coming, coming, stop knocking!"
"Who is it?"
A voice called out, and soon the sound of the iron bolt echoed.
"Clang!"
The door opened.
Old Li was just about to say something, but as soon as the door opened, a glaring flashlight shone in his face, making it impossible for him to open his eyes.
He was about to curse.
But when the flashlight was removed, there were more than a dozen police officers in uniform standing in front of him!
"Oh my god!"
Old Li was startled and instinctively stepped back two steps, the cotton coat draped over him falling to the ground.
"Officer, I didn't break the law, I haven't done anything illegal!!!"
Before the police could speak, he had already pleaded for mercy.
This made Chen Changchun, who was just about to speak, swallow his words.
Until Liu Jin beside him spoke:
"We know you didn't break the law, we're not arresting you!"
"Pick up your coat first."
Hearing this.
Old Li felt somewhat relieved, picked up the coat from the ground, and put it on without caring about the dirtiness.
Then he realized and looked curiously at the pile of police in front of him.
"Officer, I haven't committed a crime, what do you want with me?"
"We're here to ask about someone." Liu Jin said.
"Ask about someone?"
Old Li felt inexplicably puzzled and scratched his head.
"Who are you asking about?"
"I only know those who pick up and sell trash, those big shots I don't know..."
He refused them even before they asked...
Liu Jin and Chen Changchun were a bit speechless too.
But Liu Jin didn't bother to argue and took out a photo from his pocket:
"Well, you're in luck."
"We are looking for someone who picks up trash!"
Liu Jin said cheerfully and then took out a photo from his pocket, shining a flashlight on it.
"Look, does this person look familiar?"
Familiar?
Old Li squinted, leaned closer to the photo, and then...
A lifeless pale face appeared in his eyes.
"Oh my gosh!"
Old Li was startled again, backed away, his face full of fear.
Immediately, he hurriedly said:
"It wasn't me!"
"I didn't kill anyone, I didn't kill this person!"
"You're looking for the wrong person!!!"
Xu Liang: ...
Not only were Chen Changchun and his partner speechless now, but even Xu Liang felt a bit moved.
This guy sure is afraid of trouble...
Xu Liang sighed inwardly but still gathered his wits and seriously questioned:
"We didn't say you killed him!"
"We're asking if you've seen this person!"
Upon hearing this.
Old Li let out a sigh of relief, then skillfully picked up his coat from the ground and draped it over himself.
Smoking as he observed the person in the photo with squinted eyes.
After a long time, his eyes rolled, and he shook his head:
"I don't know him."
"Really don't know?" The few police officers in front of him turned cold.
Old Li swallowed, then awkwardly said: "Truly don't know him, how would I know him..."
The next second, Chen Changchun waved his hand broadly and said:
"Take him back to the station for questioning!"
"Yes!"
Several police officers replied but did not rush forward.
Old Li became anxious.
"I know him, I know him! Don't rush, don't rush!"
Indeed, to make someone like this cooperate, you have to scare them a bit...
Chen Changchun thought to himself.
Then he looked at what the other would say.
Old Li looked at the photo carefully, finally saying:
"Isn't this Sixth? How did he die?"
Sixth...
He does know him!
Chen Changchun was delighted.
The police were able to verify the victim's identity!
Once the information is confirmed, the suspect can be narrowed down to a certain range!
Thinking about this, Chen Changchun quickly said.
"Keep talking."
"Sixth...emmmmm, I don't know much."
Old Li thought for a moment, saying: 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺
"I only know where he lives, he's fourteen, and his name is Sixth."
Having said that.
Old Li suddenly asked:
"By the way, when Sixth came to sell things, was it illegal for me to lower his price?"
Traders buying and selling scrap often play tricks on each other.
For instance, sellers would add water to paper to increase weight, hoping to get a better price.
Buyers would depress the price, using rigged scales.
In such a back and forth, it seems neither side truly wins or loses.
"Stop babbling."
Chen Changchun, thrilled inside, led Old Li out the door.
"You know where he lives?"
"Take me to his place!!!"
Upon hearing this.
Old Li began to regret, but he was outmatched; several officers escorted him into a police car.
"He lives under a bridge in the suburbs..."
In the car, Old Li kept pointing the way as they moved forward.
Seizing the moment, Xu Liang and the others also asked him more about the deceased's other identifying information.
"Sixth was a drifter...I don't know when he appeared, but somehow there are always a few more or less people coming and going."
Old Li explained.
"Did he have any enemies?" Xu Liang inquired.
"Enemies?"
Old Li thought for a moment and said: "Would rival garbage pickers count?"
"Let me tell you, there are quite a few old men and women at the school picking garbage every day; they don't even sell them, just hoard them."
