Who Made Him a Lawyer?-Chapter 61 - 57: The Biggest Challenge!
Li Cui...
Li Cui is coming!?
"Her second aunt is very concerned about Sun Qian, saying she’s been searching for 13 years and has finally found her..."
Yang Ruoxi’s face showed a joyous expression. She hadn’t interrogated Sun Quan, so naturally, she hadn’t noticed anything unusual.
Xu Liang was different.
"13 years... did you remind her? Or did she remember the time herself?"
Hearing this, the person in front paused, thought for a moment, and said:
"I left my number with a friend at the newspaper office in Sun Quan’s hometown."
"Li Cui was the first to call, and her first words were ’I am the second aunt of the person who was abducted 13 years ago,’ and then said she really wanted to come and was already on her way."
"From the sound of the call... it seemed she was on a train and it shouldn’t take long for her to arrive."
Hearing this, Xu Liang’s eyes flickered with thought.
So urgent?
The timing is remembered so accurately...
For a moment, Xu Liang stood in place, motionless for a long time.
Seeing this, Yang Ruoxi furrowed her brows.
"What’s wrong, is there a problem with this person?"
To be honest, she had known Xu Liang for almost three months and gradually became familiar with his actions.
A furrowed brow definitely meant he thought of something!
Upon hearing the movement, Xu Liang came back to his senses and looked seriously at Yang Ruoxi.
"When is Li Cui likely to arrive?"
"Not sure, but it should be in a day or two." Yang Ruoxi replied.
Sun Quan’s hometown is in the south, nearly a thousand kilometers away, and back in those days, it would take several days by train.
"Alright, if she contacts you when she arrives in Hanhai, remember to give me a call."
Xu Liang instructed.
After speaking, he was about to head to the criminal police team to adjust the deceased’s file information.
But just as he lifted his leg, Yang Ruoxi stopped him.
"Lawyer Xu, I’ve helped a lot and haven’t caused any trouble in this case, so can I..."
Yang Ruoxi’s eyes dodged, and she seemed a bit embarrassed.
"You still want to join the law firm?" Xu Liang understood her intention immediately, feeling a bit surprised.
He was about to refuse but then thought carefully.
She wasn’t lacking in ability, just not good with money management, and comparing it to the cases Xu Liang handled made a difference.
Not to mention, neither Chen Dong’s Case nor the Sun Quan Case had anyone else daring to plead not guilty with no information, not just in Hanhai City, but in the entire Lanshan Province.
Especially considering she was only a lawyer in her twenties.
This case indeed had her help. She worked tirelessly, and Sun Quan’s identity information was provided by her without any return yet.
But still...
Xu Liang looked at her fair face, thought for a moment, and gave her some sweet promises.
"You’re close, just need to be a bit thicker-skinned."
In criminal cases, you have to fight for everything yourself, and not being thick-skinned enough would only let the client suffer losses.
With that.
Xu Liang quickly ran to the criminal police department, swiftly found Wang Chao, and asked him to provide some injury reports on Sui Shan’s two individuals and Zhou Xu, three corpses.
Leaving Yang Ruoxi in place, she pondered with some thought, then pinched her face.
For a long time, Yang Ruoxi realized, somewhat uncertain and surprised.
"No, is he making empty promises to me?"
Thinking for a long time, Yang Ruoxi finally decided to accept this empty promise, so she excitedly continued to contact Li Cui.
But this time, she contacted with heavy caution, not revealing a single bit of information.
And Xu Liang.
After acquiring the death report and file, he quickly left the criminal police department and returned to the law firm to start studying it carefully.
In the law firm.
"The two Sui Shan brothers are called Zhou Yong and Zhou Qiang, the former being 53 and the latter 51 years old."
"Zhou Yong’s fatal injury was to the abdomen, the sickle cut open the abdomen, and the visceral rupture caused instant death."
"Zhou Qiang’s fatal wound was to the neck, where a sickle cut the artery, and despite emergency treatment, they couldn’t descend the mountain in time. The police and medical team wasted too much time, leading to death from massive bleeding..."
At seven in the evening.
In the bedroom, Xu Liang sat on the bed, looking at the file in his hand with a furrowed brow.
The Zhou Brothers are easy to resolve.
Sun Quan had deadly injuries, proving that without the police, the other side would definitely have died on Sui Shan!
If handled properly, this injury could qualify as self-defense for murder.
They also have no parents alive, so their deaths won’t be contested.
But...
"Zhou Xu’s cause of death, according to the statement, was a brain hemorrhage caused by a wound on the back of the head hit by a brick."
"The police found the weapon, and one corner had some blood stains, also the blood splatter at the scene verified this information..."
Xu Liang murmured, focusing on the second file.
The issue lies with Zhou Xu!
He had nothing to do with the 13-year-old case of Sun Qian being abducted, yet died at Sun Quan’s hands, with Zhou Xu having no intent to attack...
From the court’s perspective, this is clear intentional injury!
If facing the top-notch lawyer Zhang Cheng, hired by Zhu Hong in a previous case, they’d absolutely secure a conviction for intentional injury!
It could even be intentional murder...
"At the very least, it’ll be a crime of accidental death by negligence, with very severe circumstances..."
"And the desecration of a corpse, which is among the most serious charges..."
Xu Liang murmured.
The police retrieved too much information.
This leaves no room for maneuver!
"Headache."
Xu Liang rubbed his brow and glanced at the time on the phone.
Before he knew it, it was already 10:30 PM.
Seeing this, he stopped obsessing over it, got up, organized the files, and placed them in the briefcase for storage.
The remaining time wasn’t long, but there was no immediate rush.
After washing up, Xu Liang went to sleep briefly.
...
...
The next day.
August 22.
At seven in the morning, Xu Liang woke up early.
As he was having breakfast, Yang Ruoxi suddenly called him to drag him away.
Sun Quan’s second aunt...
Had arrived in Hanhai City!
No.
More accurately, the person arrived at the Hanhai City police bureau without even having a meal!
At seven thirty, Xu Liang reached the bureau, and Yang Ruoxi had been waiting in the hall for a while.
And beside her, there was a middle-aged couple, roughly around fifty years old.
"You are...?"
Xu Liang looked at the two with a smiley expression.
Yang Ruoxi quickly explained: "This is Sun Quan’s second aunt, named Li Cui, you can call her Aunt Li."
She was referring to a skinny woman with no meat on her cheeks, slightly bulging eyes, who looked like a cat.
The other was a man with a dark face, short white hair, full of wrinkles, and upward-slanting eyes.
"This is Sun Quan’s second uncle, named Sun Li."
With that, Yang Ruoxi signaled Xu Liang with her eyes.
The two had been bombarding her with questions since their arrival, and to avoid revealing any information, she had to give vague answers, now feeling a bit overwhelmed.
Sure enough.
Before Xu Liang could speak, the frail Li Cui couldn’t help but look at Xu Liang, urgently saying:
"Are you Xiao Quan’s lawyer?"
"How is Xiao Qian now!?"
As she spoke, her anxious expression was evident, and her eyes stared intently at Xu Liang.
Sun Li also couldn’t hold back and interjected from the side: "Does he still remember the family after all these years?"
Starting off with questions about Sun Qian...
Xu Liang raised his brow, seeing Yang Ruoxi winking at him, immediately realizing that these two were unaware of the current state of the case.
Unaware of anything...
That makes it easier.
Xu Liang showed a smiley expression, slowly speaking:
"About Sun Qian..."
"When the police found her, she was at Sui Shan, constantly chanting about the elderly couple."
