Chapter 618: Chapter 404: Golden Triangle
But he didn’t want to stay in prison for a lifetime, nor did he want it even if a life sentence was reduced to a fixed term, or even twenty years!
He and Sun Hu had been in prison before, knowing the terrors of a prison sentence.
The most despairing part is not the torture of waiting, but when you’re released after serving your time!
Twenty years...
If he stayed in prison for twenty years, upon release, he would surely be overwhelmed by the changes in society outside, leaving the prisoner feeling lost.
Ultimately, it is highly likely that they would commit suicide or choose to re-offend and return to prison.
"Are we about to have a second trial? Is there hope for us?"
Sun Biao looked at the other with eyes full of anticipation.
Sun Hu opened his mouth, but words failed him. After a moment of silence, he suddenly spoke:
"It’s not Lawyer Feng, the person who came to see me was... it was Xu Liang."
Xu... Xu Liang!?
The ’litigator’ who ’personally’ sentenced them to a suspended death sentence and life imprisonment!?
Sun Biao was stunned, then his face showed bewilderment and shock, "What did he come to see us for!?"
To chase us down?
"Couldn’t be he thinks our death sentence for stealing a stamp wasn’t enough and he’s here to mock us even in the detention center!?" Sun Biao said in shock.
"That’s... more or less right."
Sun Hu sighed, his eyes complex, not knowing what to say.
Though without evidence, he felt...
Feng Xiang not appearing in court must be related to Xu Liang, but if that’s the case.
The other party prevented Feng Xiang from appearing in court, further leading to their death sentence and life imprisonment.
Then, using the hold over the lsd and their newly sentenced prison term as leverage, forcing him to speak....
A series of traps!
One after another, leaving no time to react, not even space to refuse!
In the past, when Feng Xiang was cautious about the other party, Wang Hu thought he was overreacting and overthinking.
But after being schemed against like this...
Sun Hu already felt a sense of fear towards the other party.
"What does this lunatic want to do!?" Sun Biao said angrily.
Hearing this.
Sun Hu’s face revealed an expression of horror, and he quickly covered the other’s mouth with his shackled hands.
"Watch your words!"
Insulting the other?
Do you not want to live!?
Even if it seemed like the other had left, what if... what if he was still eavesdropping? What if he knew Sun Biao was cursing him!?
Covering Sun Biao’s mouth.
Sun Hu started trembling, his eyes full of terror, which made the people around look puzzled.
...
...
At the entrance of the detention center.
Xu Liang walked out of the meeting room, heading towards a sedan, and without hesitation, opened the passenger side door and sat in.
"Slam!"
The car door closed, and another voice sounded beside him.
"How did it go? Did you find out anything useful?"
Turning his head, he saw Yang Ruoxi in the driver’s seat, casually asking out of boredom.
Looking at her, Xu Liang took a deep breath, and said in a low voice:
"Yes."
He paused, then stressed again:
"There’s a big problem!!!"
Upon hearing this, Yang Ruoxi was slightly taken aback.
This reaction wasn’t common from him.
What did Sun Hu tell him? Could it be that the previously guessed issue with the lsd ’stamp’ had changed?
"What’s the problem?" Yang Ruoxi subconsciously tightened her grip on the steering wheel.
"The ’stamp’ issue... has gotten more serious."
Xu Liang seemed somewhat helpless, his mind as chaotic as a beehive, not having the time to explain, immediately said:
"Take me to the police station, I need to consult with the police on some details!"
Upon hearing this,
Yang Ruoxi didn’t continue asking, immediately reining in her curiosity.
"Okay!"
With that said,
She turned the key, promptly turned the car around, and headed toward the Upper City Police Department.
After a year and a half of honing, not only had her legal thinking improved, but her driving skills were also getting better!
In half an hour, without almost any bumps, Xu Liang was smoothly sent to the police station entrance.
Inside the City Police Department,
The two got out of the car in the parking lot, closed the doors, and headed straight for the lobby.
Xu Liang intended to call Wu Chengjun, to ask him for Director Zhang’s phone number at the police department.
However... just as he stepped into the lobby.
The next second...
"Oh my, it’s another thief, we’re detectives and yet we’re dealing with petty theft every day...."
A familiar voice rang out.
Xu Liang’s hand reaching for the phone stopped, looked up at the source, and saw a man with a bitter melon face descending the stairs while grumbling.
Beside him was a middle-aged Police Superintendent.
"Having thieves to catch is good enough, this is after all Upper City, the public order is good, what big cases do you expect to be assigned?"
The middle-aged Police Superintendent said as they walked.
Hearing this, Wang Chao’s face once again showed a look of regret.
Imagining himself as a person with a superb brain, yet daily dealing with thieves instead of participating in special task forces...
Pearls cast before swine, pearls cast before swine!
Wang Chao felt extremely sullen inside.
Until...
"Chao?"
A probing voice sounded, causing Wang Chao to pause in his steps on the stairs.
He looked up and saw two familiar figures standing in the lobby, looking at him dumbfoundedly.
"Brother Liang?" Wang Chao’s face showed a hint of joy.
He hurried down the stairs, asking as he walked.
"Brother Liang, what brings you to the police station?"
Xu Liang didn’t beat around the bush, directly stating his purpose.
"There’s been a change in the case, I need to see your director."
See the director?
Director Zhang?
Wang Chao hesitated, his face showing a look of reluctance.
He was still on duty, the dispatcher had just assigned their team a theft case.
Such cases, even being ten minutes late, in the context of 2005, would greatly increase the difficulty of solving the case...
