Who Made Him a Lawyer?-Chapter 81 - 77: The Power of the Leatherbound Book Revealed!

Chapter 81: Chapter 77: The Power of the Leatherbound Book Revealed!

"You want to sue Zheng Mei!?"

"You accuse Zheng Mei of killing Zhou Xu!?"

"Lawyer Xu, this is..."

Chen Changchun was stunned.

Every word Xu Liang said was familiar to him, but when combined, they seemed so strange...

What do you mean Sun Quan killed Zhou Xu, but he wants to sue Zheng Mei for the murder of Zhou Xu!?

"Captain Chen, my point is..."

Xu Liang chuckled, took out a cigarette from his chest pocket, placed it in his mouth, and lit it.

"Snap!"

The flame scorched the tobacco leaves, instantly igniting sparks.

Xu Liang took a deep breath, his chest heaving, as nicotine surged in his chest, calming the inexplicable emotions within.

He looked at Chen Changchun and spoke:

"What if, in this world, there are two Zhou Xu and two Zhou Families?"

Two Zhou Xu Zhou Families...

Chen Changchun paused, then his pupils shrank as he recalled two incidents.

The first incident was Zheng Mei’s suspicious pregnancy.

From Zheng Mei’s hometown, in ’79, Zheng Mei was raped by a fellow villager, resulting in a child, while the rapist was sentenced to death.

Very suspicious, given that in that era, it wasn’t uncommon for rape victims to marry their rapists.

If Zheng Mei hated the rapist Zhou Yi, there was no reason not to abort.

But if she didn’t hate Zhou Yi enough to have the child, why was she determined to let Zhou Yi die?

This matter, Chen Changchun wanted to investigate months ago, but the problem is...

It’s been too long!

years, a full 25 years, participants are dead, Zhou Yi’s family has also passed away, and those who remembered the incident have dementia.

There’s no way he could find out!

The second incident is...

"That educated youth’s child!?"

Chen Changchun frowned.

’79 was also a returning period, Zhou, the educated youth returned, got married, and had children, and Zheng Mei went to Qingsen City in ’80, only for the youth’s child to disappear that same year.

At the time.

Chen Changchun suspected that Zheng Mei might have been spurned and retaliated by stealing and selling the youth’s child.

But Xu Liang’s words now made him...

"Are you saying that the child Zheng Mei sold was possibly her biological child!?"

Chen Changchun’s face darkened, though he had seen many heinous people, the thought of this speculation still shocked him.

"The remaining Zhou Xu and Zhou Family, that is the current child, are actually the biological offspring of the youth Zhou!?"

Sell biological child and raise the abducted one?

This... this is simply unbelievable!

Even a tiger doesn’t eat its cubs; if Zheng Mei indeed acted like this... scorpion-hearted can’t even describe her!

But when considering Zhou Xu and the Zhou Family, who almost have no facial similarities to Zheng Mei... this undeniably adds some credibility to these words!

Just...

"Kill Zhou Xu? Are you saying Zheng Mei was involved in murdering her biological child?"

Chen Changchun’s criminal instincts immediately helped him grasp the logic of Xu Liang’s statement about accusing Zheng Mei.

The current Zhou Xu was killed by Sun Quan, so the other Zhou Xu...

"Can’t be determined for now."

Xu Liang shook his head but then continued, "What about those two people the police were supposed to keep an eye on?"

Chen Changchun frowned.

"Li Cui and Sun Li?"

When Li Cui and Sun Quan’s uncle Sun Li arrived in Hongfu District.

Xu Liang had already warned the police.

Initially, things were okay until the police summoned them to meet Sun Qian, at which point these two revealed their flaws.

When Sun Qian saw Li Cui and Sun Li, her expression was very frightened, as if she had returned to the state after being rescued!

Chen Changchun immediately realized something was wrong.

And in the past few days, the police have held them in custody for suspicion.

Xu Liang nodded.

"Yes, it’s these two."

"Captain Chen, can you arrange a meeting?"

Without any hesitation, Chen Changchun responded decisively.

"Wait a moment, I’ll arrange it myself!"

Then.

Chen Changchun walked outside.

In the office, only Xu Liang remained.

Seeing this.

Xu Liang discreetly reached for his briefcase.

In the briefcase, besides a thick stack of documents, there was also a book.

Leather-bound book!

Xu Liang placed it in his hand and gently opened the page.

[Name: Xu Liang]

[Recorded Cases: ’Snail Case’ ’Camel Meat Case’]

[Skills: ’Melancholy Soul-Devouring Rice Bowl lv2’ ’Curry Rice Bowl lv1’]

[Special Skill: ’Martial Arts Master’]

(Martial Arts Master: As a litigator, how could one lack self-defense abilities? A competent litigator must be well-rounded!)

Yes.

After solving and documenting the ’Camel Meat Case,’ the leather-bound book rewarded him two skills.

One is culinary, and the other is self-protection, very practical, with these he no longer feared being ambushed in dim light.

Of course, the key is...

While Xu Liang was documenting cases, he experienced the same situation as in the ’Chen Dong Case.’

He assumed the first-person perspective of Sun Quan’s experiences, and in some cases, he obtained a lot of information from an omniscient perspective!

"Li Cui and Zheng Mei are from the same hometown."

"After leaving their hometown, both went to Qingsen City, for unknown reasons, Zheng Mei abducted the youth Zhou’s two children, and then the two became traffickers, during which they met Sun Quan’s uncle Sun Li."

"Later, the three lived off human trafficking, but then..."

"In ’82, the two suddenly parted ways, Li Cui and Sun Li left the group, got married, and lived a normal life."

Xu Liang murmured.

In his view, Zheng Mei initially involved herself with four children in human trafficking.

But in ’82, the children suddenly became two.

And Li Cui seemed to have seen something, becoming so scared that she left with Sun Li!

Combined with Li Cui’s reactions, Xu Liang boldly speculated, Zheng Mei is very likely to have done something to her biological two children...

"Whether the two remaining are Zheng Mei’s biological children is easy to verify, let the police conduct a paternity test for the Zhou Family and Zheng Mei."

Xu Liang’s mind was racing.

He muttered to himself:

"But this won’t sentence Zheng Mei to death!"

Traffickers’ punishment can be severe or light.

The severe ones get caught and die, but the light ones... might just get a few years.

Zheng Mei must die.

She needs to face the deserved consequences for her crimes!

"The breakthrough lies with Li Cui!"

Xu Liang’s eyes narrowed, instantly focusing his scattered thoughts.

Although Li Cui doesn’t know what Zheng Mei did after ’82...

The police just need a breakthrough to thoroughly investigate Zheng Mei and nail her in court!

Thinking about this.

Xu Liang took a deep breath.

He quietly sat in the office, patiently waiting.

For a long while...

"Tap, tap, tap!"

A series of footsteps halted at the office door, Xu Liang turned his head and saw a stranger in police uniform standing at the doorway.

The officer scanned the area, confirmed Xu Liang was alone, and then looked at him.

He respectfully spoke:

"Lawyer Xu, the captain asked me to escort you to the interrogation room."

Upon hearing, Xu Liang nodded.

"Sss~!"

He took a long drag and finished the cigarette in his mouth.

Then he stood up and followed the officer.

"Let’s go."

The officer nodded, leading the way.

Soon.

The two stopped at the interrogation room door, Xu Liang reached out and pushed it open.

"Creak~"

The door opened.

A weary-looking Li Cui was cuffed to the chair, her haggard eyes staring at Chen Changchun across the interrogation table.

Hearing the noise.

The two instinctively turned back, seeing Xu Liang, Chen Changchun nodded.

Li Cui suddenly froze, her pupils narrowed.

"It’s you!!!"

Her voice was sharp, as if she had seen a demon.

When she arrived in Hanhai City, she saw Xu Liang once at the police station.

That was Sun Quan’s lawyer, and precisely because this lawyer told them Sun Qian was clear-headed, they became fearful, yet for several days, they never heard that Sun Qian had disclosed them.

After some consideration, they believed Sun Qian wanted benefits, so they went.

Unexpectedly, upon meeting, they found Sun Qian’s mental state had long collapsed...

Upon seeing them, her reaction immediately exposed their disguise!

"Ms. Li, we meet again."
