Who Made Him a Lawyer?-Chapter 90 - 86: The Mysterious Six

If Lu Yao hadn’t exaggerated or lied at all...

Then this case exudes an eerie vibe everywhere!

First, the previously stated numbers were off.

Secondly...

Why would they do something like this to Lu Yao’s mother!?

It makes no sense; the other party isn’t a kidnapper seeking ransom, nor can they get anything valuable from the elderly woman.

So why forcibly take her!?

Could it be... it’s really the police?

Xu Liang’s heart sank, instantly feeling the case was a hot potato, but he didn’t discard it. Instead, he took Yang Ruoxi out, first letting Lu Yao wait at the law firm.

"Hiss~"

The two got into the car and headed straight to the police station.

Xu Liang didn’t go to the city bureau for now.

Instead, he brought people to the Criminal Investigation Unit of Hongfu District.

Before long, the vehicle slowly parked in the courtyard of the unit.

"Clap!"

The car door opened, and the two got out.

Police officers were moving around inside the station, showing how troublesome the ’Zheng Mei Case’ really was.

The reason being... the police didn’t just want Zheng Mei to take the 22-year-old water tank baby case to court; they wanted to find out the identities of all the people Zheng Mei trafficked over the decades!

Undoubtedly, this is a tough and massive workload!

That is why everyone was busy.

But Xu Liang couldn’t worry about all that now.

He had just stepped into the hall when a burly man holding files in uniform walked down the stairs.

"Hmm? Lawyer Xu, what a coincidence."

Wang Chao was handing in case materials.

He happened to see Xu Liang passing through the hall, was slightly taken aback, then raised his brows with a smile.

But upon seeing his sister Yang Ruoxi next to Xu Liang, the smile faded instantly.

Yang Ruoxi didn’t exchange pleasantries and immediately stopped him to ask.

"Chao, where’s Major General Chen?"

"Captain Chen went to the city bureau to verify information; seems there’s a leader there." Wang Chao cautiously eyed Yang Ruoxi.

He’s at the city bureau!?

Xu Liang frowned, but fortunately, the Criminal Investigation Unit had more than one captain!

"Do you and Lawyer Xu have urgent business with the major general?"

A familiar voice sounded.

Xu Liang and Yang Ruoxi looked up.

They saw Liu Jin, wearing a uniform shirt, slowly descending the stairs, speaking with a puzzled expression.

"If you have time, Lawyer Xu can wait in the office for a while."

"I’ll make a call; the major general will be back soon."

Upon hearing this, Xu Liang waved his hand in refusal.

"No need."

Chen Changchun had important business at the city bureau; Liu Jin was unaware that the Supreme Prosecution Office was there. Hastily asking someone to come back, and for personal business at that... even if not done, hearing it wouldn’t feel pleasing.

"I have a case involving the police, so I came to investigate."

"Captain Liu, do you have some time...?"

Looking at Liu Jin in front of him, Xu Liang tentatively asked.

Upon hearing this, Liu Jin smiled and nodded.

"Of course, I have time... what would you like to check, Lawyer Xu?"

Xu Liang breathed a sigh of relief and, after some thought, spoke:

"Could you please check the footage from Ronghua Street at 9:30 PM on the 27th..."

Unexpectedly.

Liu Jin interrupted him before he could finish, looking surprised and a bit odd.

"Is your client named Lu Yao?"

"Did he say the police illegally detained his mother!?"

Xu Liang was stunned, "Captain Liu, you know him?"

"Of course I know him!"

Liu Jin grimaced a bit, mentioning him, immediately began venting bitterly.

"You have no idea, since the 28th, Lu Yao has been causing a scene at the Criminal Investigation Unit every day!"

"Saying the police acted illegally, and that the unit illegally detained, claiming the police denied it because they’re afraid his mother will appear with injuries!!!"

"But... but the police never did any of that!"

"The police were already investigating the case after he reported it!!!"

Did the police really not do it!?

Xu Liang stared into Liu Jin’s eyes, carefully observing his micro-expressions.

No matter how he looked, in the end, he could only draw one conclusion, which was...

Liu Jin wasn’t lying!

"I have the list of all police officers on patrol in Hongfu District on the night of the 27th. If you don’t believe it, you can ask them one by one!"

Liu Jin was full of helplessness.

This was odd.

If Liu Jin wasn’t lying, then it couldn’t be Lu Yao lying either!

But the other party had no reason to lie, and his mental state was normal, so then...

Who were the police officers on Ronghua Street at 9:30 PM on the 27th!?

Xu Liang pondered for a while, then exchanged a glance with Yang Ruoxi, who also shook her head in confusion.

Finally, with his brows furrowed, he spoke:

"Is there surveillance footage of Ronghua Street?"

"Yes, I’ll take you to retrieve it."

Liu Jin nodded, then turned around first, leading the group to his personal office.

The office was a small compartment, but there was a computer inside.

On the 28th, when Lu Yao went to the police station, the police hurriedly copied a video and handed the case over to a few officers in the intelligence team.

The group gathered in front of the screen.

"Hiss~!"

Liu Jin turned on the computer, and soon the screen lit up.

As the mouse moved and clicked, a black-and-white surveillance video appeared before Xu Liang.

The top right corner of the screen showed the time as 2004-10-27, at 9:27 PM.

The surveillance view was directly facing Ronghua Street, with many streetlights on either side of the street.

Soon, a ragged old woman entered the surveillance.

The elderly woman was lightly dressed, skinny, with a dazed expression; she moved in the dark to the streetlight and eventually sat on the curb under the lamp, looking down at the ants on the ground.

Xu Liang watched silently.

A moment later...

The elderly woman suddenly and inexplicably looked up, looking in a particular direction.

Just then, from the corner of the screen she was looking at, a van painted in blue and red and with a concealed license plate appeared!

When passing by, it suddenly stopped beside the woman; the next second, the door opened, and six people in blue uniforms got out.

They glanced around to make sure no one was nearby, then dragged the woman into the vehicle while she began to struggle.

Until one of them pulled out a stick...

"Clap!"

A hit landed, and the woman recoiled in pain, hunching while holding her head.

Another opened the trunk, pulled out a capture net, and only then did they manage to stuff her into the van together.

She could still be seen resisting in the car.

However, someone pulled out something and injected it into her; soon after, she stopped moving.

The police van drove away!

The surveillance ended there.

"Look."

Liu Jin exhaled deeply, looking helplessly at Xu Liang.

Xu Liang didn’t say anything, his brows were tightly knit and didn’t loosen for a long time.

Just from watching the surveillance, there were many suspicious points.

Firstly, the vehicle type, most police cars were sedans and could be called antiques.

But the one in the surveillance was a van similar to those used by courts. Though the police also had them, they were not commonly used, so they rarely changed vehicles. Yet, the one in the surveillance was very new...

Secondly, the siren.

From the woman suddenly looking in the direction of the police car, this vehicle was most likely in a siren state.

But routine police patrols wouldn’t use sirens!

Also, the number of people and handling method.

And the thing taken out inside the vehicle... he couldn’t think of any police equipment like that.

Xu Liang pondered, murmuring in his heart.

From the looks of it, it’s mostly not the police... at least not from the Hongfu District police!

If it’s true, it would be cross-district law enforcement, but the method of enforcement doesn’t match that of the police... at least he hasn’t seen anyone using a capture net during enforcement.

Police uniforms, batons, vehicles, sirens are almost identical...

The most crucial point is...

The Zheng Mei case had already made the entire Hanhai City tense!

The whole nation, the entire Eastern Country is watching Hanhai City now!!!

Upper City even dispatched a special task force to investigate personally, timing it at the most sensitive moment!

Despite that, they still dared to brazenly catch people under the eyes of the Supreme Prosecution Office!?

Why? Based on what?

Do they not know the Supreme Prosecution Office is in Hanhai City? Or...

Do they simply not care!?

If it’s the former, it’s merely foolish.

But if it’s the latter, if they’re not even afraid of the Supreme Prosecution Office, then the issue...

Is massive!!!

Thinking of this, Xu Liang’s heart sank, his brows tightly furrowed, muttering:

"Who are these people really..."

"What is their origin?"
