Who Made Him a Lawyer?-Chapter 59 - 55: Accepting the Defense!

Sixty thousand for an answer?

Sun Quan furrowed his brows, looking at Xu Liang with an uncertain expression.

Sixty thousand?

He couldn’t even come up with six thousand at this point!

But before he could speak to ask, the person in front of him spoke first:

"According to the records, Zhou Xu is 25 this year, and Sun Qian was abducted 13 years ago when Zhou Xu was only 12."

"No matter how you think about it, it couldn’t have been Zhou Xu himself who was involved in the trafficking."

Inside the interrogation room, Xu Liang slowly spoke, looking at Sun Quan in front of him.

Sun Quan remained silent.

He was well aware of this; otherwise, he wouldn’t be calmly engaging in this conversation now.

However...

"Are you a cop?" Sun Quan asked, furrowing his brows as he looked the person up and down.

The perpetrator might still be at large.

But even if he gave money to this person in front of him, what could he do?

He wasn’t a cop; he didn’t even have the authority to enforce the law. If he was a cop... why would he be asking for money from the victim’s family to catch someone!?

"No, I’m a lawyer."

Xu Liang smiled and, before the other could ask again, spoke proactively.

"Mr. Sun, you should be well aware of the current situation."

"The real perpetrator is still at large, while you’re going to be detained at the police station, and soon after, you’ll be sent to court. As for the crimes you’ve committed... honestly, without any other factors, there’s a 98% probability of the death penalty."

Hearing this.

Sun Quan fell silent.

He didn’t argue.

Killing three people...

Killing three people, Sun Quan couldn’t even think of how the court wouldn’t sentence him to death!

"So..."

"You need a lawyer, someone who can handle everything from the outside for you."

Xu Liang smiled.

Looking at the wavering Sun Quan, he sensed the smell of money from him!

Sun Quan was indeed wavering.

His family was unreachable, Sun Qian’s mental state was deteriorating, and he himself was detained. Without help, he could only wait for death...

He wasn’t afraid of dying, but thinking about the real culprit being alive filled him with resentment!

But the biggest problem was right in front of him.

"I..."

Sun Quan moved his dried-up throat, lowered his head, and placed his cuffed hands on the table, speaking in a hoarse voice.

"No money..."

No money? Not ’no need’!

"Don’t worry, Conscience Law Firm works first, you pay later!"

Xu Liang seized the opportunity and continued:

"I’ve thought about your case. If we can convict Zhou Xu and the mastermind behind it, you’ll receive a substantial compensation!"

"Then, you can pay from the compensation money."

Zhou Xu’s estate is considerable.

If he dies, the court will certainly assess and compensate Sun Quan and Sun Qian.

So Sun Quan does have money, just that...

"Aren’t you afraid of losing!?"

Sun Quan was stunned, looking at Xu Liang in disbelief.

"If I’m to die, I have nothing left!"

If the court sentenced him to death, Xu Liang wouldn’t get anything!

Even if Sun Qian received compensation, with no family or legal guardians handling the money, getting it would be nearly impossible.

"It’s fine."

Xu Liang smiled, taking out a prepared contract from his briefcase.

"Fortune favors the bold!"

"Sixty thousand, it’s worth a shot for me."

Sun Quan looked at the man in front of him, his lips moved for a long while.

"Thank... you."

The moment he heard these words, Xu Liang’s face lit up with a smile of treating someone as a god.

He pushed the contract and a pen towards the other party.

Not long after, a legally binding contract was signed.

"Alright, once the prosecution begins, I will be your defense lawyer, and you will be my client."

Xu Liang carefully kept the contract.

The time to file this case should be soon, definitely faster than the Chen Dong case.

The clues are clear, Sun Quan’s killing of three people is well-documented, and he was caught red-handed...

At most, in half a month, the lawsuit will begin.

In other words, the time left is just half a month before the trial begins!

"Mr. Sun, how did you find Zhou Xu and kill him?"

Xu Liang pondered for a moment, then began to gather basic information.

Sun Quan was silent for a moment before speaking:

"Taxi."

"Thirteen years ago, a witness told me my sister got into a taxi and then disappeared."

"A couple of years ago, I heard from others searching for family members that there were taxi abduction cases in Hanhai City, so I came here to try my luck."

"Two months ago, I saw a taxi on the road with someone holding a child inside and paid attention to it. Later, I kept searching for this car and finally found it two days ago."

"On the early morning of August 12th, I knocked him out and later found some children in the pigpen confirming my suspicions."

"I was just about to ask him if he knew about my sister, but as soon as I got close, I saw he was bleeding too much and already dead... in my rage, I then..."

And then the whole pig pork affair happened.

Looking at this, the butcher hadn’t lied.

They really didn’t sell sick pigs!

Similarly... was Zhou Xu’s death accidental at Sun Quan’s hands?

Nearby, Liu Jin was thoughtfully connecting the police information with the case.

"There was a child in the car... why did you think it was a trafficker?" Liu Jin asked.

"The child was too quiet."

Sun Quan said truthfully, "At that time, the taxi was stuck in traffic, surrounded by honking, yet the child was still asleep..."

Children are light sleepers, the slightest touch and they’ll cry their lungs out.

The honking during the traffic jam didn’t wake them...

No wonder he’d be suspicious.

Liu Jin understood.

Xu Liang squinted his eyes and jotted down all these clues in his notebook. However, unlike Liu Jin, what he cared about was...

"Thirteen years ago, a witness said Sun Qian got into a taxi and was then abducted?"

Sun Quan and Liu Jin were stunned.

Is there a problem with that?

Why was he focusing on this!?

Sun Quan recalled for a moment and finally nodded.

"Yes."

Xu Liang continued to ask.

"How old was Sun Qian thirteen years ago?"

"Fourteen," Sun Quan answered honestly.

Fourteen...

Fourteen isn’t that young, centuries ago she’d be married, in modern times she’s a complete person.

At that age...

"Did she get into the taxi on her own accord?" Xu Liang asked again.

"The witness said she got in on her own, without an adult present."

Got in voluntarily?

This...

"Did you see any relatives around at the scene back then?"

Xu Liang suddenly squinted his eyes, staring intently at the other person.

"Or say, someone very familiar."

Were there any relatives at the scene!?

Sun Quan paused, trying hard to recall.

Finally, hesitantly, he spoke:

"Yes... one."

Xu Liang blurted out, "Who?"

"My second aunt. She was buying things at a small shop over there," Sun Quan said.

Despite the memories being from 13 years ago, these things were etched into his mind.

Moments later.

Sun Quan added:

"It was my second aunt who told me about my sister being abducted after getting into a taxi."

"Her name is Li Cui. When I ran away from home, she saw me and gave me two hundred yuan."

This means...

The witness from thirteen years ago was Sun Quan’s second aunt!?

Xu Liang squinted his eyes, and after a long time, he finally stood up.

"Alright, Mr. Sun, I’ll come back to find you in two days."

"In the meantime... you can try to recall some things to tell me then."
