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

Chapter 77 Reporting Zheng Mei!

What a bizarre second trial!
Not only Zhao Yi felt something was strange, but Zhang Bo and others from the Basic People's Court also felt something was strange.

Although the second trial wasn't broadcast live, never underestimate the speed of reporters.

The moment the court session adjourned, news began circulating online.
Why did he apply for a second trial?

"I do not know."

"Is there any new evidence in the second instance? If there is new evidence, and the presiding judge gave a lighter sentence, that doesn't make sense. The sentence is already the lightest it can get."

"Without new evidence, it's impossible to deliver a verdict in court immediately; there's a 98% chance the court will have to adjourn."

"Then why did he apply for a second trial?"

"As I said before, I don't know."

Inside the grassroots court.

The members of the panel were gathered together, their faces full of question marks, their eyes filled with confusion and bewilderment.

After a long while, Liu Jian turned his gaze to Zhang Bo.

"Old Zhang, say something!"

“You were the presiding judge in Sun Quan’s first trial, so you should know this kid.”

To be honest, they weren't really interested in the case that had been tormenting them for so long.

But no way.

Since they were willing to give Sun Quan a lenient sentence, they naturally need to take responsibility.

If something happens during the second trial or after Sun Quan's release, Zhang Bo and others will at least be implicated.
As for Zhang Bo
Zhang Bo was speechless. To be honest, he felt heartbroken whenever he thought of Xu Liang.

If he has the time, he'll have to find out who Xu Liang's law teacher is sooner or later!

And Xu Liang, who knows nothing about him?!
If we're talking about how much of a jerk the other person is, Zhang Bo has some experience with it.
Damn it! Just thinking about how he, a man in his forties, had been out for hours in temperatures over thirty degrees Celsius, only to push open the last door and see Xu Liang, made his face turn green!
"Maybe they want to get rid of this case quickly and then sue someone else."

In a daze, Zhang Bo seemed to remember something and subconsciously spoke.

"Who should we sue?" Liu Jianyi asked, intrigued.

"Who else can this kid sue?!"

"You ask me, who should I ask?"

Zhang Bo shrugged.

The others, however, began to discuss it with great interest.

But after much discussion, they still couldn't find an answer.

Zhou Xu is dead, so Sun Quan has no reason to sue him. However, the Zhou family might be involved, as they are linked to information about Sun Qian's abduction.

But considering their ages, even if they were to sue, they probably wouldn't be able to win against the Zhou family.

Several tens of minutes passed.

They couldn't come to a conclusion either.

Unable to guess, Liu Jian reluctantly said:

"He can't very well sue Zheng Mei, can he?"

Upon hearing this, the people around laughed.

"Zheng Mei has already given him a letter of forgiveness, how could the defendant possibly sue her? And what grounds could he possibly use to sue her?"

"Old Liu, have you gone crazy from eating too much food because of food safety concerns?"

Liu Jian smacked his lips.

"It's almost time to get off work, why worry about so much?"

"And no matter who he sues, it's none of our business."

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded and dispersed.

"Too."

Besides Zhang Bo and others.

The reporters from the Intermediate People's Court were also completely bewildered.

"Wasn't the second trial supposed to be full of big revelations? It feels like it just flew by in a blur."

"That can't be right. Last time, this lawyer overturned the death sentence on appeal, so why does this appeal seem like he's just wasting time?"

"I've been slacking off here all day!?"

"Hiss, this second trial is practically meaningless. Why did he appeal?"

"."

The reporters who remained at the door were completely baffled.

They originally believed that Xu Liang might have some serious dirt on him, and that they could save it for the second trial so that he could be acquitted.
Unexpectedly, they stared at Xu Liangshui for hours on end.

Even reporter Zhang Tao and photographer Li Ye were baffled. "Old Zhang, has Attorney Xu run out of ideas?"

Li Ye said sullenly.

Zhang Tao still felt that something was wrong.

But he couldn't figure out exactly what was wrong, and in the end, he could only sigh and say:
"Perhaps it's a contractual issue, or maybe it's just Sun Quan's subjective opinion."

Li Ye nodded.

Although they haven't been in this line of work for long, they still have some experience.

For example, some plaintiffs and defendants may initiate a second trial with the subjective intention of upholding the original judgment in the first instance.

why?
Because once the second instance trial is used up, the only way to reopen it is to apply for a retrial!
In such a situation, if the first instance trial is in your favor, the case is basically over and there will be no unexpected events. Even if other evidence emerges later, it is not certain that you will be able to apply for a retrial.

"By the way, where is Attorney Xu?"

Zhang Tao suddenly asked.

Last time, it was because of what Xu Liang said that he was promoted to a permanent position in the company and received so many bonuses that he couldn't hold back!
The previous time, he was certain that Xu Liang would pull off some fancy tricks.

Then came the Sun Quan case. Sure enough, the news of him being sentenced to three years in prison with a three-year reprieve for killing three people, plus the real identities of the three victims, once again elevated his status!
and so.

He's become a bit superstitious about Xu Liang now.

"I don't know, it seems like they went to the police station."

Li Ye shook his head and said.

"As I was pushing forward, I heard Lawyer Xu and another person whispering something about police, what the hell."

Are they police?
Zhang Tao seemed to be deep in thought.

After a long silence, his eyes hardened.

Since we've already become superstitious, we might as well see it through to the end!
"Keep a close watch on the police station tonight!"

"We must pay attention to whatever announcements are made!"

"to make."

Xu Liang is indeed at the police station.

After the second trial ended, he grabbed Yang Ruoxi, whose heart was pounding as if she had done something wrong, and rushed her to the Hongfu District Criminal Investigation Brigade.

What is he doing here?
The police station has two main functions: civil matters, which are generally handled by the local police station, and criminal investigations, which are handled by the criminal investigation team.
Case filed!

"Captain Chen, I want to open a case!"

Inside the police station office.

Xu Liang looked intently at Chen Changchun, who was preparing to entertain him.

Chen Changchun was stunned.

"Filing a case? Whose case do you want to file? Didn't the Sun Quan case just end?"

"I am reporting Zheng Mei to the police station on suspicion of murdering Zhou Xu in the name of my civic duty!"

"He also committed crimes of trafficking, intentional injury, and endangering public safety."

Xu Liang uttered a series of words.

He said these words without any moral qualms.

Sue Zheng Mei!?

Oh, the other party has a problem, the police know that, but the problem is...
Chen Changchun paused, and after a long while, a question mark appeared in his eyes as he looked at Xu Liang.

"Who is Zhou Xu?" Chen Changchun asked.

Xu Liang replied, "Zheng Mei's son."

Is Sun Quan a defendant?

"It's the defendant."

"Who are you to Sun Quan?"

"I am Sun Quan's client, the defendant's representative!"

"Who killed Zhou Xu, the one who died?"

"Sun Quan."

Xu Liang looked at Chen Changchun with surprise, wondering if the other man's memory was declining due to old age.

The question mark in Chen Changchun's eyes grew even stronger.

"Then what do you want to report about Zheng Mei?"

Xu Liang, with a serious expression and without batting an eye, spoke clearly:
"I want to report Zheng Mei for allegedly murdering Zhou Xu!"
