Death sentence turned into acquittal? Who told him to be a detective!

Chapter 71 The Red-Hot Judge [Please continue reading!]

"What a coincidence," Xu Liang said with a smile.

"What a coincidence." Zhang Bo's lips twitched.

The smile on his face froze the moment he saw Xu Liang.

Although Zhang Bo had only met Xu Liang a few times, he had a very deep impression of him.

This is absolutely monstrous!

No. The devil is no match for him!

"You are..." Zhao Liang looked at Xu Liang with suspicion.

"Hey, Brother Zhao, I'm Xiao Xu from upstairs."

Xu Liang shifted his attention back to Zhao Liang.

upstairs?

Zhao Liang remained suspicious for a long time before finally remembering.

"You're Old Xu's son!?" Zhao Liang raised an eyebrow, thinking of Xu Liang's deceased father.

"Yes, it's me."

Xu Liang spoke up.

He lives here, and this is the only residential area in Hongfu Street. Most people who can go to the vegetable market live near Xu Liang.

so.
Zhang Bo's heart skipped a beat; his sixth sense told him something was wrong.

as predicted!

"Uncle Zhao, now that things have come to this, I won't hide it from you anymore."

Xu Liang ignored Zhang Bo, sat on the sofa, and said to Zhao Liang in a deep voice:

"I took over the case that you've recently been implicated in."

"I am the person being tried inside, that is, the defense lawyer for the murderer!"

"I've called you here today to discuss the issue of compensation in this case."

Hear the words.

Zhang Bo's internal alarm bells rang, and his pupils contracted slightly.

Compensation in the case?

Explain yourself clearly!

This sounds a bit like a letter of forgiveness!
Zhao Liang, however, frowned.

To be honest, he remembered Xu Liang's father; the man was a very good lawyer who had done a lot of good deeds.

But that doesn't mean that he could be hurt, let alone suffer such great psychological harm!

"Uncle Zhao, you know me. I'm not a litigator. I have principles when it comes to taking cases!"

Seeing that Zhao Liang was about to speak, Xu Liang quickly told him to shut up.

He continued, saying:

"Sun Quan's case is truly heinous!"

"To be honest, killing three people, dismembering one of them, and selling the pieces of flesh—if I were Uncle Zhao, I'd want him dead!"

While talking.

Xu Liang was filled with righteous indignation, as if he were in the same situation as Zhao Liang!

Seeing this, Zhao Liang's anger subsided slightly.

Indeed, that's what he thought, but...
"It's not necessarily a matter of dying." Zhao Liang smirked.

That's what I thought when I first notified him.

But now that a month has passed, to be honest, he's become a little more indifferent. He wouldn't let someone die without understanding anything; it mainly depends on the judge who knows the case.

Xu Liang, however, did not think so.

"How could he not die!?"

Xu Liang suddenly retorted to Zhao Liang, his face full of anger.

"How terrible is that!?"

"How many people have suffered economic losses as a result?!"

"How much of an impact has this had on your mental well-being?!"

"I not only want him dead, I want his whole family dead, I want him to be torn to pieces and fed to the pigs!"

Zhao Liang panicked upon hearing this.

He was terrified just hearing about things like dying or being fed to pigs.

"Not that bad."

He quickly and gently reassured Xu Liang, "It's not that serious, we're just ordinary people."

"How could it not be that bad!?"

Zhang Bo, who was standing to the side, was stunned. He stared blankly at the scene in front of him.

Xu Liang seemed to completely ignore his existence.

Continued:
"To be honest, I wasn't happy about it at the time!"

"I went straight to the police, but..."

As he spoke, Xu Liang, whose expression had been very serious, suddenly softened his tone and became more gentle.

"But after learning the truth, I actually understood him."

Zhao Liang paused, then frowned. "Xiao Xu, what's going on?"

The other person clearly shared my hostility towards the executioner, so how did I suddenly understand?
"Uncle, how should I put it? It involves something from 13 years ago."

Xu Liang sighed. He slowly explained to Zhao Liang.

Zhao Liang was indeed listening, from the time Sun Qian was abducted 13 years ago, to Sun Quan dropping out of school and running away from home at the age of 16 to find his relatives by scavenging.

He left home at the age of 16 and heard that the other party felt guilty and remorseful because Sun Qian was abducted. His warm family was torn apart and he lost contact with his parents.
At just 16 years old, still in school, he traveled to several nearby provinces on foot.

During that time, I worked as a migrant worker, scavenged for garbage, and searched for people with hope in my heart.

Hope after hope led to despair after despair, eventually numbing me until now.

Sun Qian has been found!

But she was found in the cattle pen; the teenage girl had already been tortured to the point of being delirious.

The 16-year-old Sun Quan from back then, now with his younger sister, used a sickle to kill two thugs, and even as he was dying, he held his sister in his arms!

"You mean, the one who was killed was one of the human traffickers who were kidnapped and sold into slavery?!"

Zhao Liang was suddenly moved. He lit a cigarette and said in silence.

Xu Liang nodded.

"Pretty much, it must be related to the human traffickers back then."

"Thirteen years later, Sun Quan was found, but the other party died from excessive blood loss while checking on the child's injuries in the cellar."

"At this point, the clues from the past 13 years have gone cold again."

"Sun Quan lost control of his emotions at the time, and ultimately..."

After saying that, Xu Liang didn't say the rest of his sentence.

Zhao Liang didn't say anything, just smoked his cigarette, as if he were in Sun Quan's shoes and was moved by the other person.

"Therefore, I became Sun Quan's defense lawyer. I felt that he was wrong, but the reasons that led to his mistakes, and that he himself did not deserve to die."

Xu Liang seized the opportunity and pulled out several letters of understanding.

“I wanted to find you from the beginning, but I knew you must be very angry and need time to calm down.”

Nearly two months have passed.

"Therefore, I'm here to discuss compensation and a settlement with you."

to be frank.

Zhao Liang had previously wanted to kill Sun Quan, but after Xu Liang's words, he suddenly felt a little reluctant.

"This"

"Our client is willing to compensate you with 5,000 yuan after the case is closed and the court settlement is received."

"He told me that he was very sorry to you. He said he would rather die than not forgive you. He said he would feel guilty to death if you didn't forgive him. He also said he would apologize to you in person if possible!"

Xu Liang spoke again.

"If there isn't enough money..."

"He's willing to go back to being a migrant worker to earn money for you."

The instant a sentence was uttered.

Zhao Liang's eyes instantly turned red; at that moment, he felt like he wasn't even human.

"I sign."

Zhao Liang's tone softened, "No need for money. We're all grown men. Although he did something a bit extreme, he's still a man!"

"Let it go this time, but we can't go to such extremes again!"

"Uncle Zhao, I know you are kind and righteous!"

Xu Liang immediately began to flatter him.

"I know you have a wife and children too. If you were in this situation, you would definitely act more like a man than Sun Quan!"

Zhao Liang thought of his wife and children and subconsciously put himself in their shoes.

If I were like Sun Quan.
In a daze, his eyes suddenly sharpened.

Xu Liang quickly added, "But money is still necessary!"

"Uncle Zhao, you have to take this money, otherwise my client will definitely feel guilty."

Although that is what is said.

However, the process of sending letters of understanding was not slow.

Simultaneously
Xu Liang suddenly looked at Zhang Bo, who was standing to the side, looking dazed and numb.

"Uncle Zhao, I can assure you, I haven't lied to you at all!"

"This is the presiding judge in this case; he knows every detail of the case from beginning to end!"

"If you don't believe me, ask him. I guarantee I didn't tell a single lie!!!"

Hear the words.

Zhao Liang subconsciously looked at Zhang Bo beside him.

Zhang Bo was stunned.

Not
you.
I.
Looking at Zhao Liang, who treated Sun Quan in a completely different way when he first came in, Zhang Bo's face turned a little red.

What about your tough stance?
You want to uphold justice, don't you?
But ironically, what Xu Liang said seemed to be the truth.

Who the hell made him a lawyer?!

Zhang Bo's blood pressure rose, veins bulged on his forehead, his teeth were clenched tightly, and his eyes were fixed on something. He couldn't utter a single word for a long time.

See this.

Xu Liang looked at him expectantly and gently reminded him:
"presiding judge?"

"Say something! Why aren't you saying anything?"
