Who Made Him a Lawyer?

Chapter 474: Chapter 350: Strange!

Sure, here is the text translated into English:

As for Xu Liang....

Inside the hospital room.

Xu Liang looked at Lv Xiong, who had been transferred to the bed and was sleeping with steady breaths, with a trace of seriousness on his face.

"How do we investigate now?" Su Yu asked softly from the side.

"Is it drugs?" Yang Ruoxi felt a bit excited, her breath slightly quickening as she blinked, looking at Xu Liang.

It seems very likely to be drugs.

But....

"Honestly, although Lv Xiong’s reactions, the doctor’s diagnosis, and Director Yang’s speculation all point to drugs, but...."

Xu Liang paused, his expression gradually serious.

"He might... not have used drugs."

If something looks like a stone from a distance, looks like a stone up close, you chew it in your mouth and it’s still a stone, and finally, you test it with instruments, it’s still a stone.

Then don’t doubt it, the thing in front of you is definitely a stone!

But Lv Xiong clearly resembles drugs exactly, how can he speculate it might not be drugs!?

"Initially, I also thought it was drugs, after all, the withdrawal symptoms are really too similar, but...."

"Have you forgotten something."

Xu Liang suddenly spoke, reminding them.

"Lv Xiong... has been arrested for eight days."

Arrested for eight days....

Yang Ruoxi froze, not immediately understanding, but Su Yu instantly comprehended.

Su Yu suddenly realized and exclaimed in shock:

"You mean... if it were drugs, the withdrawal symptoms wouldn’t appear so slowly!?"

Theoretically, if a person uses drugs, then within the next twenty-four to seventy-two hours, withdrawal symptoms would gradually appear, reaching a peak around five days.

But Lv Xiong took a full eight days to reach the peak!

"But it’s also possible he only used drugs early on and hasn’t been deeply poisoned yet."

Xu Liang switched his tone, "That’s why I said he only ’might’ not have used."

"Then what should we do next?" Yang Ruoxi sighed.

"Wait for the hospital’s test report, and...."

Xu Liang looked at Lv Xiong, a village emerging in his mind.

An inexplicable glimmer shone in his eyes.

All of Lv Xiong’s doubts point to Sanma Village.

First, the drugs.

Drugs are used to make money!

And Sanma Village, a place without any money, even without television... who in their right mind would choose to sell drugs here?

Even if the whole village gathered money, it couldn’t buy much.

Then the question arises, if no drug dealer chooses this place to sell... then what caused Lv Xiong’s ’withdrawal symptoms’?

"Sanma Village...."

"At the border area between Hanhai City and Yang City, a no-man’s land, located in the desolate mountains...."

Xu Liang murmured, trying to discover the secrets hidden in this eerie place.

After a long time, he took a deep breath, deciding:

"Go to Sanma Village tomorrow morning!"

...

Meanwhile.

Inside Hanhai City Intermediate Prosecutor’s Office.

In the fourth group’s office.

"Knock knock knock!"

"Leader, something happened, Leader!"

In the office, hearing the room door knocked loudly beside his ear, Huang Ren furrowed his brow, looked up, then said deeply:

"Come in."

As soon as he finished speaking, the door was immediately pushed open.

A young man rushed into the office, facing him and hurriedly said:

"Leader, something happened!"

"I haven’t gotten into trouble yet, if you want a promotion, wait until I really get into trouble!"

Huang Ren’s face darkened.

Upon hearing this, the other finally realized his words were too hasty. After taking a deep breath, he slowly said:

"Leader, the defendant is in trouble. Just now the detention center reported that the defendant Lv Xiong recently suddenly went into a frenzy and is being rescued in the hospital, currently unconscious on the bed."

The defendant is in trouble!?

In an instant, Huang Ren’s expression changed, showing a look of astonishment.

"Will it affect the trial on the 10th?" Huang Ren asked with a frown.

While speaking, he was also contemplating what Xu Liang was up to.

"It shouldn’t, the reason for the coma is because the hospital gave the defendant an anesthetic shot, and the anesthesia hasn’t worn off yet, so it caused the coma."

Upon hearing this, Huang Ren finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Just that the anesthesia hasn’t worn off... that’s good, that’s good.

"As long as it doesn’t affect the shooting case, that’s fine. This case is the first big case for the fourth group, must seize it tightly!"

Huang Ren’s eyes focused.

As the leader of the fourth group, how could he willingly just be a mentor for newcomers?

Even if he trains them, the whole group’s strength must be brought to the level of Group One!

Hence... he places great importance on this case.

"Leader, whom should we approach first?" A group member hesitantly asked.

They received the task at noon, and only made a brief handover of work, not actually investigating the case yet.

Yes, prosecutors also investigate cases, overall, it’s a legal kind of ’detective’!

"Should we find Liang Yu?" the group member tentatively asked.

Huang Ren pondered for a moment, then shook his head.

"No need to find Liang Yu. Although she is a family member of the victim, she has no influence on the case."

"And her emotions are unstable; she can be comforted, but seeking information from her is useless."

Liang Yu hasn’t even been to Sanma Village, how could she know the clues at the crime scene?

So...

"Go find Lv Xiong tomorrow noon!" Huang Ren’s heart moved.

Years of experience locked him onto Lv Xiong.

Lv Xiong’s sudden incident definitely has issues!

Perhaps... this might influence the case’s trajectory and outcome, who knows.

"Alright."

The subordinates nodded, then exited the office.

The vast office was left with Huang Ren alone.

He sat at the desk, buried himself in work, after a long time, capped his pen, his brows furrowed.

"I can discover... so can he."

Huang Ren fell into contemplation.

The so-called ’he’ naturally refers to Xu Liang!

He’s not afraid if Xu Liang confirms Lv Xiong is not the killer, he even hopes for this outcome.

After all, he is a prosecutor, representing the public prosecution, not hired by Liang Yu as a lawyer.

He represents justice!

Not only for Liang Yu’s justice but also for Lv Xiong’s.

Yet the reason he’s wary of Xu Liang...

Is because Xu Liang is a lawyer, he doesn’t represent justice, he only needs to meet the requirements of his client, Lv Xiong!

He fears, in the situation where Lv Xiong is truly the culprit....

He might use a crafty angle to defend Lv Xiong for mitigation!?

If so... then it’s troublesome.

"Why out of nowhere, did a sudden illness occur...."

Huang Ren felt a headache.

Although he boastfully talked, he is cautious, and tactically values Xu Liang greatly.

Who knows, with Lv Xiong’s fainting, how Xu Liang might interpret it in court.

After a long time, Huang Ren took a deep breath.

"Forget it."

"Go see Lv Xiong’s condition tomorrow and talk about other things later."

After making up his mind, Huang Ren quickly resumed handling his work to prepare for tomorrow.

...

...

August 25th.

Morning, seven-thirty.

Hanhai City remains serene, seemingly without any waves, looking like another ordinary day.

A car drove on the winding mountain road, the vehicle constantly experiencing bumps, if there were eggs inside, they’d be stirred up for sure.

Not long after...

"Screech~!"

The car slowly stopped.

The car door opened, several people stepped out from the car.

"The car can’t go further, let’s walk."

Xu Liang looked up, glanced at the deep forest in front of him, clicked his tongue, then drew out a cigarette and placed it on his lips.

Beside him, Yang Ruoxi and Su Yu had pale faces.

This wasn’t because they had to walk, but simply because of the bumps!

Seeing this, Xu Liang sighed.

He knew Sanma Village was backward, a mountain village.

But he didn’t expect it to be this backward!

The entire Sanma Village can’t pool together enough money for a cement road leading to the village, vehicles simply cannot go up, only walking can reach the destination!

But fortunately...

"There’s not far to Sanma Village anymore, hang in there, if it really doesn’t work later, I’ll carry you down the mountain."

Xu Liang said.

The two women finally gathered some spirit.

Then, the three slowly made their way into the deep forest.

Sanma Village is in the deep mountains, surrounded by dense trees, making it hard to distinguish houses from trees.

And soon...

A figure appeared in front of Xu Liang.
