Chapter 593: Chapter 393: The Truth Behind the Stamps
The postage stamp held in the mouth...
"Are you sure, the kind that’s hidden under the tongue and held in the mouth!?"
Xu Liang suddenly squinted his eyes as he looked at the police officer beside him, his eyes flashing with an unknown light.
"That’s right."
The officer nodded, crossed his arms, and touched his chin in thought for a moment before confirming:
"No mistake, although the medical examiner found nothing, the method of death is quite niche, so it circulated internally, and I remember it clearly."
"There was a postage stamp under the tongue!"
Upon hearing this.
Xu Liang turned his head, focusing his gaze on Liu Ping, and hurriedly spoke:
"Mr. Liu, let me ask you again, are you certain....?"
"The goods you were responsible for both times... were they all counterfeit postage stamps!?"
Liu Ping didn’t understand the purpose of this question but, seeing Xu Liang’s serious expression, he recalled carefully and eventually nodded.
"That’s right, they were all counterfeits."
Xu Liang asked again, "The poor quality in terms of absorbency!?"
Liu Ping nodded, "Both moisture resistance and absorbency had issues."
Normally, stamps are supposed to be resistant to water and moisture, but part of the stamps transported did not meet the standard for waterproofing.
"I understand now."
Xu Liang nodded and then smiled.
Immediately after.
He stood up from the wheelchair in front of Liu Ping and the police officer, extending a hand towards them.
"Thank you both for your cooperation!"
Liu Ping and the police officer were taken aback, staring at Xu Liang’s legs in surprise, then at the wheelchair, at a loss for words.
’So you could stand up all along!’
After recovering, the two shook Xu Liang’s hand repeatedly.
"No trouble, no trouble, it’s just..." Liu Ping hesitated, stammering.
Seeing this, Xu Liang naturally knew what he wanted to ask, and immediately smiled:
"Rest assured, I will represent you for this case completely free of charge."
"Additionally, regarding the previous incident of your stamps being stolen and the company’s compensation claim, we will also handle that."
"The commission fee will be paid as a percentage."
Hearing the promise, Liu Ping’s face showed an expression of excitement.
"Thank you... thank you!"
He had lost almost half a foot, becoming disabled, and the future was undoubtedly inconvenient.
Whether the postal company would classify this as a workplace injury and provide compensation was still unknown.
In short, if Liu Ping could not protect his rights, his future life could be described as a steep decline.
"I should thank you instead."
Xu Liang smiled and then sat back in the wheelchair.
"For now, I’ll be leaving. If there are any new developments... I’ll contact you both again."
With that said.
Under their watchful gaze.
Yang Ruoxi pushed Xu Liang’s wheelchair and walked out, disappearing from sight, leaving the two somewhat dazed.
"Tsk, this lawyer is quite good, representing for free..."
The on-duty police officer recalled the scene just now, his face showing an ironic smile.
Only...
"Isn’t this just a theft case?"
The policeman suddenly hesitated, furrowing his brows, falling into contemplation.
"Could there be... more to it?"
...
...
"Is there more to the case!?"
Inside Su Yu’s hospital room.
The moment Xu Liang’s wheelchair returned, Yang Ruoxi couldn’t help but ask, looking anxiously at the person sitting in front of her.
Xu Liang didn’t hold back, and with a serious expression, he spoke:
"Yes!"
"And... there’s a lot more to it!"
A lot more?
Yang Ruoxi’s expression was shocked.
Truth be told, she knew Xu Liang quite well; some major cases were considered minor by him, such as the first case he handled, the Snail Case, which he didn’t take seriously at all.
But to other lawyers, it would be considered a career-making case!
So... for him to say ’a lot’... to others, it should be described as ’terrifying’!
"What’s going on?"
At that moment.
The weak Su Yu lying on the bed inquired, looking at the two at the foot of the bed, with a puzzled expression on her pale face.
"The postage stamps... in the case, the stolen stamps have a problematic use... the more to it lies here!"
Xu Liang’s voice reached their ears.
If yesterday he didn’t know the reason why the person needed these stamps, now after knowing about ’Sun Long’ and the ’poor quality’ of the stamps....
A bold idea popped into his head!
"What other problem could a stamp have?"
Yang Ruoxi tilted her head, furrowing her brows, and her grip on the wheelchair handle tightened.
In a daze, she recalled the Sun Long incident and hesitantly asked:
"Is it because... of Sun Long?"
When Sun Long died, the coroner inferred a stamp was pressed under his tongue, but this led to more questions.
"Exactly."
Xu Liang nodded.
"A stamp pressed under the tongue... what more could there be?"
Yang Ruoxi’s expression was peculiar, clearly baffled by such an inexplicable action.
"What if the item pressed under the tongue... the stamp was just a carrying medium?"
Xu Liang suddenly questioned.
The stamp is... a medium?
In other words, the item Sun Long wanted to place under his tongue wasn’t the stamp, but it needed the stamp to place the item there.
In that case... what could it be!?
"Drugs!"
Xu Liang suddenly blurted out the word.
The moment the word echoed, the entire hospital room fell silent.
Dr... Drugs!?
Yang Ruoxi’s pupils showed shock, her lips slightly parted, covering her mouth with her hand, incredibly astonished.
Meanwhile, Su Yu’s pupils slightly contracted, and the machine measuring her body data showed an obvious increase in heart rate.
What is this drug?
This is one of Eastern Country’s bottom lines, and the official attitude towards this substance is one of zero tolerance!
The severity of the penalty in the criminal law alone demonstrates the official stance.
