Who Made Him a Lawyer?-Chapter 73 - 69: Xu Liang: Haha, What a Coincidence! [Requesting Follows!]
Crooked dealer?
What crooked dealer!?
What’s the connection between a murder case involving three victims and a businessman?
Zhang Bo frowned, unable to make sense of the logic.
He pondered for a long time before hesitantly asking:
"Is it the Zhou Family that sells children?"
He recalled that the deceased Zhou Xu had a younger brother who was responsible for trafficking and selling humans.
It could be described as a crooked dealer, but according to the case file... the person never showed up!
"Of course not him."
Liu Jin shook his head and responded with a smile.
"It’s the meat market, a butcher shop owner!"
"On the afternoon of August 13, around 4:30 PM, Sun Quan transported the corpses to the market for sale."
"But that was not rush hour; only six victims came to buy meat, and four of them didn’t rush to eat on the same day."
"Later, the market’s crooked dealer saw the extremely low and fresh prices and thought of buying cheap and selling high."
"Thus, most of the meat hadn’t spread out yet before being hoarded by this store owner."
"After hoarding the meat, the jerk didn’t hurry to sell it; he waited until August 14 to sell during the morning market when prices were higher!"
In other words.
On the night of the 13th, due to the dealer hoarding meat, there were hardly any victims.
On the 14th, the person only sold the meat at the morning market...
And Hanhai City is not the South; in the South, people might buy fresh groceries for each meal, but in the North, it’s different.
In the North, people might buy for the whole week’s use!
So, firstly, the quantity purchased was large, reducing the number of people.
Secondly, the buying time was in the morning when most buyers stored the meat in the fridge to have light meals for breakfast.
They bought meat for dinner.
But...
"The investigation happened on that day’s noon."
"The moment the case was filed, the criminal police force seized half of the meat and used surveillance to investigate and collect it one by one."
"Just before it was consumed in the afternoon, the corpses were retrieved."
"Moreover, Sun Quan wasn’t insane; he left parts easy to identify like hands and feet at the crime scene."
"So..."
Liu Jin spread his hands, his face relaxed.
"The real victims were only nine, with three found while cooking, and six mistakenly consumed a little."
"Haha, Judge Zhang, you wouldn’t believe it, but the Captain was overjoyed when he got this news!"
"Six people, only six people!"
"Hey... why aren’t you laughing, Judge Zhang?"
Zhang Bo: ...
Zhang Bo forced a stiff smile.
"Ha... hahaha."
"Well, that’s really good."
Zhang Bo felt a bit hopeless.
Honestly, for societal order and empathy, he wished it was only six people.
But regarding his work...
That’s not so great.
"Judge Zhang, you want to investigate these people?"
Liu Jin looked Zhang Bo up and down before speaking:
"Is this part of your job?"
Zhang Bo forced a smile and spoke.
"Just checking some information."
During the trial, Liu Xun listed numerous charges against Sun Quan, including endangering public safety.
Most of the disputes lay in the previous few, making this charge less prominent.
Until Xu Liang overturned many charges, did it start to stand out...
"Alright, wait a moment, I’ll go fetch the files."
Liu Jin nodded, turned around, and headed towards the police station.
Not long after.
He produced some files and handed them to Zhang Bo.
"Here are the files of those nine, none showed any symptoms, and the medical examination indicated they were healthy."
Zhang Bo took a deep breath, smiling as he stood up.
"Thank you, I need to get to work."
"Okay, take care."
Liu Jin smiled, and after parting ways, they each went about their business.
As Zhang Bo left the police station.
He didn’t hurry back to the courthouse; instead, he decided to start by finding the nine people in the files.
Although the nine were healthy and showed no adverse reactions.
But...
If they claim severe mental harm, with strong personal intent, the court could adopt it.
"Hongfu Street, Hongfu District, No. 402..."
At this moment, he was stepping out of a taxi, standing on Hongfu Street and looking around.
After looking around, a community caught his eye, and his eyes lit up.
"Found it!"
Without hesitation, he targeted a building and started walking in.
No. 402 is on the 4th floor.
"Tap-tap-tap~"
The hurried footsteps echoed in the corridor before halting in front of a door.
Zhang Bo verified the door number; once confirmed it was the victim’s home, he raised his hand.
"Knock-knock-knock~!"
The knocking sound echoed.
"Who is it?"
A rough male voice sounded, and shortly after, the tightly shut door creaked open.
Through the crack appeared the face of a middle-aged man, who looked at Zhang Bo with puzzlement.
"Who are you looking for?"
Zhang Bo quickly pulled out his work ID.
"Hello, I’m from the Hongfu District grassroots people’s court, working on the ’Zhou Xu case’."
"I’m here because you are one of the victims; this time, I’m mainly here to understand your personal opinion on the defendant, Sun Quan."
Zhou Xu case?
In a daze.
The man’s expression instantly turned a bit sour, as if it triggered some unpleasant memories.
"Come in, then."
He stepped aside, allowing a gap.
Zhou Bo entered, guided by the man to sit on the sofa.
The man poured him a cup of water.
Zhou Bo took it without rushing to drink but instead focused on him.
"May I ask, the injury this case caused you..."
Before he could finish speaking, the man before him furiously spoke.
"It must be dealt with severely!!!"
"Judge, do you know how much psychological trauma this has caused me!?"
"I want to vomit at the sight of meat now; it’s severely affecting my daily life!!!"
"Damn it, this person is a maniac; he must be severely punished!"
The man said frenetically, showing suppressed grievance.
Honestly, when he learned the truth, he felt the world collapsing.
Zhang Bo, however, felt a bit more secure.
The man’s emotions were very intense, which indicated strong personal intent, allowing Sun Quan to be judged.
"Take your time."
Zhang Bo smiled.
With someone listening, the man poured months of suppressed words onto him.
After a long while.
Zhang Bo smiled, stood up, and packed his things.
"Alright, sorry for taking up your time."
The man also stood up, still showing anger.
"No worries, no worries!"
"Judge, you have to stand up for me!"
"Such a thug must be punished severely and judged harshly!"
Zhang Bo smiled as he walked out.
It’s settled, settled...
Finally found a breakthrough for the case!
If the next eight are like this, he can judge normally!!!
"Absolutely." Zhang Bo smiled.
"I won’t take up your time; I’ll just..."
As he stood up, prepared to leave, but...
Suddenly, the tightly closed door sounded again.
"Knock-knock-knock~"
"Is Mr. Zhao home?"
A gentle male voice sounded.
What... someone else?
And addressing him as Mr.....
Suspicious, Zhang Bo thought, as he handled this personally and hadn’t heard of anyone else visiting.
The man named Zhao Liang was also puzzled but went ahead to open the door.
"Who is it?"
As Zhao Liang spoke, he reached to open the door.
Instantly.
The person at the door appeared before the two, and the face... was faintly familiar!
Upon seeing this person, Zhang Bo’s expression inside froze.
This person is...
"Hmm? Chief Judge Zhang?"
Xu Liang glanced inside, spotting Zhang Bo, raised his brows, and smiled.
"What a coincidence."
"How come I ran into you here?"
