Who Made Him a Lawyer? Chapter 110 106: The Man Who Dares to Challenge a Joint Inve

Xu Liang had quite the eye-opener today.

Is he a lawsuit fiend?

He's hardly that at all!

At best, he managed to change a first trial death sentence to no criminal responsibility in the second trial.

Or perhaps deceive Zheng i into signing a letter of understanding.

Or at the extre, fool a judge, or illegally obtain evidence himself?

Does that make him a lawsuit fiend?

Qian Li is the real lawsuit fiend!!!

"The case investigated by the Six Ministries..."

Xu Liang had a tongue-tied expression and felt utterly shocked.

"He's just a 26-year-old lawyer, facing the Six Ministries investigation, daring to defend Wang Hai for innocence..."

In all honesty.

Just thinking about it gives Xu Liang goosebumps.

Does he value money over life?

Indeed, considering the abandoned building scenario, fighting dozens for tens of thousands and illegally obtaining evidence alone, he might be reckless, but...

Compared to Qian Li, Xu Liang's actions seem trivial!!!

The other party truly values money over life!!!

"Yang, if you were offered a million, would you tell the heads of the six departnts that the person they investigated is innocent?"

Xu Liang couldn't resist looking at Yang Ruoxi.

Yang Ruoxi decisively shook her head.

"Do you think I'm an idiot?"

"My career is not ready for suicide yet!!!"

Even if she wouldn't.

Not even Xu Liang dared, facing just Su Guo, where confronting the Supre Prosecution Office was manageable.

But with six departnts... he'd need to swallow his pride and keep low.

Qian Li not only doesn't keep low, he dares to openly defend Wang Hai's innocence!

"Has he always been this bold?"

Xu Liang shivered in anxiety, wondering which firm this character belonged to in Hanhai City, so he could avoid crossing paths.

Yang Ruoxi felt similarly, then pondered skeptically:

"Does he know Wang Hai?"

Xu Liang paused, then said, "He probably does."

"No fool would take on a case without knowing the basic info!"

Yang Ruoxi considered it and agreed.

"Then he's truly a brave one!"

With that, the two hurried out of the police station.

Qian Li's presence unsettled them; they'd never seen such a crazed individual. They'd better leave before he bites them!

After all, he dared face court, challenging the commission, Supre Prosecution Office, Supre Court, Public Security... six departnts total!

Compared to that, what's biting soone in a police station?

The two reached the station's entrance, got into a car, and promptly left.

As for Lu Yao...

He was still handling the process of claiming a body.

He would take a while and had already called for a car, so Xu Liang didn't need to escort him.

Now, Xu Liang needed only to...

Consider whether Wang Hai could die!

...

Four PM.

Inside Conscience Law Firm on Hongfu Street.

"So, can Wang Hai really die?"

Inside the firm, Xu Liang suddenly asked Yang Ruoxi, who was lazily resting beside.

Since returning, they both had a brief interaction before resting.

Yet, Xu Liang felt sothing was off...

He got up from the sofa, face serious.

Beside him, upon hearing this, Yang Ruoxi glanced at him and rolled her eyes elegantly.

"How can he not die!?"

"Not even ntioning past deeds, just the corpses in the boiler room could sentence him to death ten tis over!"

Indeed, considering current known cases, Wang Hai would certainly face death, a no-questions-asked death penalty!

But...

"If that's the case, why hire a lawyer?"

Xu Liang asked skeptically.

He could tell Qian Li wasn't a public defender; he was hired!

Wang Hai hired a lawyer...

"Does he really believe his cris won't lead to the death penalty? No, he definitely knows."

Xu Liang pondered, "Criminals understand the punishnt they face better than anyone."

"Logically, hiring any kind of lawyer wouldn't change the outco, so what's the point of hiring one?"

Hearing this, Yang Ruoxi sat upright and furrowed her brows, thinking.

Indeed.

Why hire a lawyer, Wang Hai?

For a case investigated by the Six Ministries, Wang Hai wouldn't go a month without a first trial at the Interdiate Court; Xu Liang would write his surna backward!

The lawyer's role is nearly negligible.

"Could it be he doesn't want to die?"

Yang Ruoxi speculated, "For instance, Wang Hai fears death so much he'd rather try sothing futile than do nothing?"

"Though he's wealthy, once dead, money is worthless to him, so...."

"He hopes a lawyer could fight for a lifeline?"

Xu Liang found so sense in this but felt an intense sense of dissonance when thinking deeply!

First...

Even with a lawyer, such a lifeline wouldn't exist!

In a case like the Six Ministries investigation, he hadn't seen anyone escape punishnt for murder leading to such scrutiny.

There's no way soone would do sothing futile just to do it!

"Wait, I overheard a conversation between Lu Yao and Wang Hai."

After pondering montarily, Xu Liang suddenly recognized the issue.

"Wang Hai is very calm; he doesn't do futile things out of irrationality."

"Hiring a lawyer must serve a purpose for him!"

"Maybe, Wang Hai... really does see a lifeline!"

Xu Liang was familiar with Wang Hai's deanor from eavesdropping.

He had the composure to refute and recognize traps in police statents, avoiding any incriminating conversation, detaching himself from subordinate cris with simple ignorance or unrelated denial.

This approach clearly aid at escaping the death penalty.

"Wait a mont, show Wang Hai's dossier information!"

Detecting the core issue, Xu Liang's brows furrowed as he turned to Yang Ruoxi.

He had already photocopied all the files of Liu Shengjie, Zhang Mang, and other criminals at the police station.

To be prepared for any eventuality!

Unexpectedly, imdiately upon returning to the firm, they were put to use...

Yang Ruoxi quickly pulled out a stack of dossiers from her briefcase, with Wang Hai's being on top, and handed it directly to Xu Liang.

Xu Liang took the file and kept scanning through Wang Hai's docunts.

Eventually, he stopped at a few crucial details.

"Nationality of Elephant Country..."

Xu Liang mumbled.

The file showed that Wang Hai indeed held the nationality of Elephant Country!

However...

From a legal standpoint, whether Wang Hai was from Elephant Country, or even if he were from Arica or any of those rogue nations, he still couldn't escape the death penalty!

Unless...

This nationality was part of a sche!

Xu Liang paused for a mont, suddenly connecting the dots, and turned to look at the marital status section.

It indicated: Married!

Married?

Xu Liang frowned, straightened his back, and stared intently at these two words.

If his guess was right... Wang Hai's slim chance of survival lay here!

"This doesn't add up."

"When the police arrested Wang Hai, did they apprehend his wife?"

Xu Liang asked Yang Ruoxi seriously.

Yang Ruoxi also sensed sothing was off. After so thought, she shook her head and said:

"No."

"The police only arrested those related to the case. Wife... No, it's not that they didn't arrest the wife; they simply never saw the wife!"

Strange, strange indeed.

Wang Hai was married, yet there was no wife at ho.

Being in custody for nearly a week, the police hadn't brought his wife in, nor even conducted the most basic questioning...

Then who was Wang Hai married to?

His wife couldn't possibly be air!!!

The police wouldn't assu that Wang Hai's wife was unrelated to the case and just let it go.

After all, Upper City placed great importance on this case. It was being investigated by the Six Ministries!

Hanhai City would logically seize every chance to obtain clues!

As long as there's a wife, Chen Changchun would have ways to get her to talk and then extract evidence directly convicting Wang Hai!

Yet, the reality was what it was.

Could it be...

"A foreigner?"

Xu Liang squinted his eyes, a sense of foreboding rising in his heart while another thought sprang to mind.

At Craftsmanship Animal dicine Plant, the plant manager once ntioned that the wife was a foreigner...

A foreign wife coupled with foreign nationality wasn't enough for Wang Hai to escape.

Unless...

"The embassy!?"

Xu Liang and Yang Ruoxi said simultaneously.

As the words fell, they stared at each other, unsure of what to do.

The embassy had no reason to take Wang Hai away.

The embassy indeed has special privileges and diplomatic immunity, but it doesn't apply to individuals outside the embassy and their families.

But that said.

If Wang Hai's wife were from the embassy, could she enjoy diplomatic immunity!?

"But even so, it shouldn't result in escaping death penalty."

"Diplomatic immunity does exist, but Upper City wouldn't agree to extradite him back to Elephant Country, that is impossible!"

"Wang Hai is just a criminal, why would Elephant Country fight for extradition?"

"It doesn't make sense..."

Yang Ruoxi shook her head, unable to comprehend.

Diplomatic immunity could allow extradition back to the country.

But it requires negotiation between both parties, generally not involving national secrets, and if the deeds were indeed excessive...

The other party often voluntarily gives up diplomatic immunity and accepts punishnt.

Unless the person is extrely important, extradition is pursued relentlessly.

As for Wang Hai?

Is he important?

How could it be!?

But what if they really defy the odds and crazily pursue it?

"Should I call my dad to inquire?" Yang Ruoxi suddenly asked.

Xu Liang pondered for a mont but did not imdiately agree.

"Lend your phone."

His phone was broken and hadn't been replaced, so he wanted to borrow hers to make a call.

Yang Ruoxi didn't refuse, handed over her phone, knowing phones lack privacy these days.

Xu Liang didn't call her father but, after a brief recollection, dialed a number unfamiliar to Yang Ruoxi.

"Who on earth are you calling?"

Yang Ruoxi was a bit surprised, "Only Upper City knows about this matter, do you know soone there?"

"Hehe, don't think you're the only one with connections!"

Xu Liang smirked, revealing a grin.

The sa old thing.

You can't beco a legal eagle without networking and resources!

Xu Liang's connections... are extrely prestigious too!

Shortly, the call connected.

"Hello? Who is it?"

An old but vigorous voice with a strong sense of righteousness ca from the speaker.

The voice alone made one feel the speaker was stern, rigid, and looked down upon legal eagles!

This is...

"Master, it's , your dear disciple!"

Xu Liang wore a fawning smile.

This is...

The master of this infamous legal eagle!?

Yang Ruoxi was extrely shocked, staring at the phone in disbelief.

She still didn't know what kind of person could train a guy like Xu Liang who would use any ans necessary!

Xu Liang, at this mont, chose to ignore her.

Holding the phone, he spoke earnestly:

"Master, I miss you dearly here in Hanhai City."

"In these post-graduation months, I think about your countenance every mont, without a second not wanting to return to your side...."

After these words fell.

Yang Ruoxi listened, her mouth agape, watching Xu Liang in astonishnt.

She couldn't fathom how such words ca from Xu Liang's mouth.

The person on the other end couldn't bear it either.

Wu Chengjun quickly interrupted Xu Liang.

"Speak plainly!"

"Offering flattery without reason usually hides ulterior motives, what is it that you want from this old bag of bones?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Liang spoke:

"Well, teacher, there's this small case here, inadvertently involving Upper City, do you have channels over there to help your beloved disciple..."

"To gather so information?"
