Chapter 291: Chapter 206: Recovering the Bodies! Zhao Hailong’s Concerns! [2/4]

The most important thing right now is to verify whether Zheng Shijie is lying!

If he’s lying, that’s good, just a false alarm, Xu Liang would rather the case be harder to solve than see such things still exist within the borders of Eastern Country.

But looking at the timeline, during this period....

It’s indeed possible that such things exist in Eastern Country!

So, if it’s true... the matter still needs to be investigated thoroughly as soon as possible!

"Let’s go! To Cheng River!"

Xu Liang doesn’t plan to wait, nor does he want to sleep, so he immediately gets up and heads towards the car outside.

However...

He walks a few steps forward and suddenly feels as if something is pulling him from behind.

Looking back.

He sees Yang Ruoxi and Su Yu, holding the hem of his clothes, bowing their heads like ostriches scared to follow along.

The two are somewhat frightened by what they just heard.

There are many human traffickers these days, and the so-called trafficking personnel are mostly concentrated in two categories.

One is children, the other is women.

Children aren’t necessarily chosen because they’re pretty to abduct.

But those who specifically abduct women would find it hard not to target them when seeing the two looking so beautiful!

If they were to be abducted, their end would be performing somersaults on the street like dogs, jumping through fire rings....

Thinking of this.

Their fingers gripping the hem of the clothes tighten a bit.

Xu Liang looks at them, ultimately choosing to ignore it.

Forget it, if they want to be tag-alongs, let them be, it doesn’t affect the investigation anyway. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

Xu Liang quickly ’drags’ the two onto the car.

Sun Chuan has already arranged for the police to sit in the car going to Cheng River, so they just drive straight there.

"Vroom~!"

The engine roars impatiently.

With a push on the gas pedal, the car instantly heads out of the police station.

Sun Chuan, along with the prison guards, takes Zheng Shijie in another car, closely following behind.

...

There is a river in Jiang City, that’s Cheng River, which used to be a river, but the river water changed course, leaving behind a wide river, hence Cheng River.

This river separates Jiang City from Qingshi City, and the two built a large bridge.

Five years ago, in 2000, Zheng Shijie was caught on the bridge.

According to him, at that time Zhao Hailong noticed something unusual, brought people to intercept on the bridge ahead of time, and then threw more than ten jars into the river, after which Zheng Shijie stayed to be captured.

He was only sentenced to fifteen years in the end, which theoretically means if he behaves well, he wouldn’t serve more than ten years, having already served five, and still has one hand’s time left before release, unfortunately running into Xu Liang.

At 6:30 PM.

Under Cheng River Bridge.

Dozens of figures, only vaguely visible as black silhouettes, stand by the riverside, staring at the river in front.

"Splash~!!"

"Whew~!"

It’s cold in Jiang City at night in March, with a cold wind blowing, causing the river surface to constantly hit the shore.

"Thud!"

Several flashlights shine on the river, looking at the constantly flowing water, Sun Chuan’s face turns green.

If.

They threw in more than ten jars here five years ago, with this water flow...

Where the hell would it have washed to!?

"I threw it over there at the time."

Zheng Shijie, his hands cuffed, points to the center of the bridge.

Seeing this, Sun Chuan feels a hint of despair.

Jars aren’t stones, river stone beasts can’t appear in front of them.

The raging river water will surely wash these things away, even if they sink, they can’t directly sink down at the discarded location!

"Let’s look first and see."

Finally, Sun Chuan takes a deep breath and begins to assign people to conduct a simple investigation.

They don’t have dive suits, in small county police stations these days, they don’t have that equipment, theoretically, only relying on water-skilled officers to enter the river.

However, it’s night now, even if the case is urgent, Sun Chuan can’t risk his subordinates’ lives as child’s play.

So...

"Search along the river, three people to a group, remember not to get too close to the river, if you discover anything unusual, contact me immediately!"

Sun Chuan speaks up and hands each team a walkie-talkie.

"Also, get the technical team to investigate the information on the pickle factory and the Jiang River Disabled Protection Center, I..."

He’s organizing.

Xu Liang is organizing on his side too.

"From the details, Zheng Shijie is not lying, as long as the body is found next, the case naturally has a breakthrough, it can completely topple Zhao Hailong, Cheng Jia, and others..."

Xu Liang looks at the river surface from the shore; beneath his calm expression, he keeps on thinking.

Currently, the breakthrough has opened from Zheng Shijie, Qi Yu’s death indeed has issues.

Theoretically, he only needs to throw the clues out during the court trial.

However, before that...

He pauses, then turns to look at Yang Ruoxi.

"How’s the law firm reorganization coming along?"

From the 19th when the shutdown and reorganization were ordered to now, three days have passed.

Three days are not long, but not short either.

The court session is on April 3rd!

That means Xu Liang must restore the law firm’s practicing certificate by April 2nd and also ensure the contract is signed again!

As for whether one day’s time complies with the law....

"If it’s a criminal case, a copy must be submitted ten days before the trial."

"If it’s civil...even without a lawyer, one can participate in the trial."

"Qi Yu has a signed contract and work records provided by the protection center, with fatality it’s theoretically an occupational accident, which can lead to civil compensation or criminal liability."

"The court has Zhao Hailong’s people, Qi Yu’s death is defined as civil compensation...."

Xu Liang mumbles, directly stating Zhao Hailong and others’ arrangements.

Zhao Hailong and Cheng Jia want to minimize the impact, so it became a civil case.
