Who Made Him a Lawyer?-Chapter 92 - 88: A Background You Can’t Afford to Cross!

Chapter 92: Chapter 88: A Background You Can’t Afford to Cross!

After learning about the case, Xu Liang left the police station with his sibling Yang Ruoxi.

Xu Liang didn’t immediately go to the animal medicine plant, but instead went back to the law firm first, explained the current situation to Lu Yao, and signed a contract with a minimum of 150,000 before continuing the investigation.

The investigation site was located in Xinjiang District, Hanhai City.

This is the industrial area of Hanhai City, where most of the industrial factories are located.

The animal medicine factory that Xu Liang was investigating was also established here!

It’s called Craftsmanship Animal Medicine Plant.

It is also the only animal medicine manufacturer in Hanhai City!

Animal medicine is different from human medicine: first, the market is limited, making the goods cheap and the profits low; secondly, it relies heavily on the social economy.

If the economy is sluggish, there would be fewer livestock startup farms, leading to an unopened market for animal medicine, and the factory would naturally wither gradually.

In contrast, in Xu Liang’s past life, livestock farms were everywhere, making the profits for animal medicine in a city district quite considerable!

"The economy of Hanhai City isn’t good, and it used to be an industrial city district."

"Therefore, the market for animal medicine is small, supporting only one animal medicine manufacturer. Although it sounds unpleasant, it’s good news for us."

That afternoon, at half-past two.

On the highway.

Xu Liang was driving, and from the passenger seat, Yang Ruoxi shared the information she gathered at the police station.

"This means that at least half of all animal anesthetics in Hanhai City are produced by Craftsmanship!"

"If the person who took Lu Yao’s mother, Wang Cuiping, from the surveillance is really using animal medicine..."

"There’s a high probability that it will appear in Craftsmanship’s records!"

The suspect might not have made a direct purchase but might have approached a distributor for the medicine.

There aren’t many qualified distributors for selling anesthetics, and the manufacturer must be aware of each one!

In the rear seat, Wang Chao scratched his head, reflecting.

His only thought was feeling a bit cramped in the car.

Before long.

The car’s high speed gradually decreased, and the mechanical noise began to emerge alongside.

A factory park appeared before the three of them.

"Buzz~"

Xu Liang parked the car, and the engine slowly came to a halt.

"We’ve arrived, let’s get out."

Right in front was Craftsmanship Animal Medicine Plant; just standing at the blue iron gate, the three could smell the faint medicinal scent coming from inside.

Wang Chao tidied up his police outfit, coughed twice, and then stepped forward.

"Knock, knock, knock!"

The large fist collided with the iron sheet, producing a crisp knocking sound.

The sound was loud.

Soon, a voice came from inside.

"Who is it? Don’t damage my door!"

A grumbling, complaining voice slowly sounded with the iron gate opening.

"Creak~"

The iron gate opened.

Two middle-aged men dressed in security uniforms appeared before the three, with one continuously checking the door for any marks from the pressure.

After ensuring everything was fine, he raised his head.

With this upward look, the security guard was momentarily stunned.

He appeared to see a mountain....

This mountain was dressed in the same blue security uniform as them... 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

"No...wrong!"

The security guard snapped back to reality and looked at Wang Chao with a furrowed brow, puzzled.

"Police? No one from our medicine plant called the police..."

Xu Liang stepped forward, standing before the security guard, handed him a cigarette, and spoke with a smile:

"Uncle, the police have already notified your medicine plant ahead of time. You can just make a call to the manager now."

Cross-district enforcement needs prior communication, and Liu Jin, being a veteran officer, naturally wouldn’t make a mistake.

The security guard put away the cigarette and nodded.

"Please wait a moment."

After speaking, he left the other security guard, running to the security room himself.

Five minutes later.

The security guard’s silhouette appeared before the crowd, giving them passage.

"Confirmed, indeed there was prior notification."

"The manager is currently in Room 3, you can go directly to him."

Xu Liang nodded.

Then, he went with Wang Chao and Yang Ruoxi towards the factory room marked ’3’.

Upon getting closer, they noticed a middle-aged man in a white coat standing at the entrance of the factory room.

The two sides exchanged a glance, immediately recognizing each other’s identity.

Manager Huang Yao was first to step forward, shaking hands with Wang Chao with a smile.

"Officer Wang, Officer Liu notified me. Feel free to investigate anything, and I’ll arrange it."

After speaking.

He then led the group into the medicine plant’s office.

The structure of their medicine plant was simple, without any tax evasion issues, so inspection was freely permitted.

As for Wang Chao, after contemplating for a moment, he eventually turned his gaze to Xu Liang.

Xu Liang took a deep breath, stepped forward, and said:

"Manager Huang, this investigation isn’t aimed at you or the medicine plant."

"Rather, it’s because of a criminal case suspected of involving the animal anesthetics your plant produces!"

"We suspect that the suspect might be maintaining a buying relationship with your plant. Could you provide us the sales records associated with animal anesthetics?"

Well then.....

Manager Huang breathed a sigh of relief; he was indeed somewhat worried about the investigation’s purpose, although the plant had no guilty conscience...

Having composed himself, Manager Huang spoke again:

"Our medicine plant produces two kinds of animal anesthetics: one for local anesthesia and the other for general anesthesia."

"I’m not sure if you need..."

Before he finished, Yang Ruoxi responded.

"General anesthesia."

"General anesthesia?"

Manager Huang hesitated upon hearing this.

He then instructed to retrieve the transaction records involving the purchase of anesthetics by distributors and individual veterinarians over recent months.

Wang Chao scanned through them, finally showing a face filled with astonishment.

"Why so few!?"

"General anesthesia is inherently rare."

Manager Huang explained: "Typically, general anesthesia is used for major surgeries, but veterinarians’ patients are basically livestock from farms."

"Farm owners raise pigs, cows, and sheep to sell, and the cost of general anesthesia surgery far exceeds the price of pigs, cows, and sheep!"

"It’s entirely a loss-making business."

"Therefore, veterinarians would only stock up a little bit, with major customers being pet shops or pet hospitals."

There are only a few pet hospitals in Jiangsan City.

Transaction records are indeed only this little...

Xu Liang scrutinized the records, and upon seeing a few entries, his forehead furrowed, "Your plant engages in transactions with individuals!?"

Manager Huang nodded.

"Naturally, since we’re just a small plant."

Upon hearing this, Xu Liang fell into deep thought.

After a long pause, he spoke again.

"What about the Dog Catching Team?"

"Have you ever sold anesthetics to them?!"

The Dog Catching Team gradually faded from sight as the era progressed.

As the name suggests, the Dog Catching Team was hired to capture stray dogs!

It was relatively active between 2000-2010.

Why ask about this!?

Wang Chao expressed surprise.

Yang Ruoxi paused momentarily, suddenly recalling a surveillance capture of the suspect retrieving a net from the trunk!

Anesthetic, net, snare, and that skillful technique... indeed, if not for the uniform, it was utterly a Dog Catching Team member!!!

Manager Huang was somewhat startled.

After mulling over for a while, he spoke:

"We did have some sales, as the Dog Catching Team needed anesthetics too. Our plant had a regular Dog Catching Team leader who came to buy... though he’s no longer with the team, and there’s a new boss now."

Really!?

"Who is it!?" Xu Liang asked.

Rather than rushing to answer, Huang Yao sized up Xu Liang with curiosity, and inquired.

"You aren’t a police officer, are you?"

"Judging by your attire... you’re a lawyer? Frankly speaking, if your client is involved with him... I would advise against seeking him out."

Advise against it?

Xu Liang was taken aback, "Why?"

"You can’t afford to mess with him... or rather..."

Huang Yao hesitated, shaking his head while speaking.

"You can’t afford to mess with his boss!"

"Even if you take him to court, believe it or not, he could pack up and leave within days?"

Boss!?

Xu Liang’s brow furrowed tightly; since the beginning, he felt the suspect in this case was exceedingly brazen, and now even Huang Yao was advising him...

Knowing well that a factory like this would certainly monitor recent news to understand national trends.

He was willing to bet that Huang Yao was certainly aware of the rigor with which Upper City was managing Hanhai City now.

And was absolutely aware of the Supreme Prosecution Office’s arrival in Hanhai City!!!

Yet, even so, the opposite side still advised against actions...

Even the act of going to court still permits them to pack up and leave!?

Xu Liang glanced at Yang Ruoxi beside him, then shifted his gaze to Huang Yao, finally squinting his eyes and speaking solemnly:

"This boss... what background does he have?"
