Who Made Him a Lawyer?-Chapter 100 - 96: The Truth! [Urgent—Please Read to the End]

Have you ever eaten deep-fried dumplings?

This is a kind of street food that usually appears at rural 'gatherings'.

The vendor will set up a large pot by the roadside, fill it with a lot of cooking oil, and when the oil reaches a certain temperature, it starts to boil.

At that moment, you throw a dough ball into the boiling oil pot...

The dumpling will float on the surface of the hot oil, constantly rolling as it fries, and the white dough visibly turns into a golden dumpling!

What Xu Liang saw in front of him was similar to this, except...

The iron pot had become a cement-cast boiler.

The boiling oil had been replaced by an alkaline solution.

And the dumplings inside....

Xu Liang's face was ashen, he stared at the scene before him, unable to snap out of it for a long time.

"Bloop bloop~"

And when the first floats up, it was followed by the second, third, fourth...

The bodies of four people were all intact, completely naked inside the cement-cast boiler.

Xu Liang raised his head to look around.

In the dark.

There were a total of four identical boilers dissolving in alkaline solution....

Xu Liang opened his mouth and stepped to each boiler, opening the lids one by one.

His legs felt as if they were filled with lead, needing all his strength for each lift, as if he had turned into an iron man.

When all four lids were opened....

"Beast... beast!"

Xu Liang gave up completely, weakly spitting out two words.

Standing among the four boilers, Xu Liang closed his eyes, feeling an indescribable exhaustion from head to toe, inside and out.

He now knew what business Liu Shengjie, Zhang Mang, and Wang Hai were involved in....

What kind of business?

You might not believe it if I told you.

Human bones!!!

Yes.

Human bones can also make money!!!

When a person is kidnapped, you might think what attracts the criminal is their labor value, or maybe the person's family is wealthy, or simply it's for their organs.

But what if none of those things are what attracted the criminal?

And neither gender nor age yields any profit!

Then you have to be careful if the other side has set their eyes on your bones!

Most people might not think much of it; after all, how much can human bones be worth? They can neither be eaten nor sold.

Not like organs or anything.

How could someone of Wang Hai's status care about such things?

First, you need to know that even in crime, there is a normal business framework.

The entire crime chain roughly is: raw material cost—processing export—end retail.

In end retail, overseas in Xu Liang's previous life, someone had openly set up a company and sold them with set prices.

The other party's prices were, a baby skull alone sold for three thousand dollars, a complete skull for two thousand dollars, and a whole skeleton could fetch seven thousand dollars!

And the cost?

Nearly zero cost.

A complete one was nearly fifty thousand Eastern Country currency!

Don't disregard the money, fifty thousand is already more than a normal person earns in a year!

And this kind of crime...

Often involves numbers in the hundreds!

In 1985, Lizard Country's customs once seized a container filled with 1500 sets of bones... all of a very young age.

In 2001, in a certain abandoned factory in Gal Country, they seized five trucks filled with bones!

In 2024, a female intern in Lizard Country was raped and killed, her body dismembered, with various parts of her skeleton flowing into the black market...

"Madmen!"

Xu Liang's face was terrifyingly somber at this time.

But he knew he didn't have much time to curse, so he stood back on the boiler.

Xu Liang squatted on the steps, wrapped his shirt around his hands.

Then, with one hand he adjusted the face of a corpse, and with the weak light from his phone in the other hand, he illuminated it, constantly observing it.

"No hair follicle residues, the root is sharp and fine, already empty, with no complete follicle tissue."

"Decomposed traces remain on the abdomen, thighs, and other places."

"Preliminary speculation... had died long before coming to the boiler room."

Xu Liang's brain was incomparably calm, his eyes lingered on every part of the corpse.

In just a blink, he understood the source of the corpse.

"Grave robbing and corpse digging!"

"If I am not mistaken, Wang Cuiping should still be alive..."

Xu Liang murmured.

He had figured out Zhang Mang and others' series of criminal logic.

First, they disguise as fake police to capture those who won't cause a police case, forcing them to profit from it.

Such as selling themselves in a welfare center, or providing people for venting violence, or drug testing, etc.

And the boiler room itself...

Is their final destination.

It is the destination of the bodies after dying from prostitution, drug testing, etc.!

After they die, the bodies will be carried to the boiler room to be destroyed, squeezing out the last bit of profit!

"Extract oil from the bones..."

A flash of light passed in Xu Liang's eyes.

"Heh, this kind of business won't last long."

He figured out why Zhang Mang and others risked the Supreme Prosecution Office's threat to commit crimes.

It wasn't that Wang Hai wasn't afraid.

In fact, it was because Wang Hai was afraid that Zhang Mang took risks!

Looking at the construction time of the welfare center, the boiler room should have emerged decades ago, in the 80s.

At that time criminals, whether kidnapping or murder in the wild, were very hard to solve, so criminals were far more rampant than now!

Large-scale cases of dead were often in double digits...

So at that time the boiler room business yielded more profit than risk.

But as time went by, Wang Hai definitely realized that the law enforcement in Eastern Country was getting stronger, the exposure risk of the boiler room increased, but profits declined.

And, Lizard Country's impact on the human bone market caused profits to plummet...

Especially with the Supreme Prosecution Office's arrival, Wang Hai felt pressure, and they wanted a hundred percent to wash the slate clean!

But clearing his name means cutting ties with the past.

The problem follows.

The subordinates do not have his vision!

They only know that after now, there won't be such quick money to be made...

This led to Zhang Mang and others not only failing to restrain but becoming more urgent, wanting to make more money in the last time span!

Thus.

Without any investigation or confirmation of identity, Wang Cuiping was forcibly taken away from Ronghua Street...

"Heh, trying to wash clean, huh..."

Xu Liang guessed Wang Hai's intention, chuckling coldly, then took a small camera from his shoulder bag.

"Click!"

The sudden flash of light illuminated the entire scene.

The wide-eyed corpse was covered in a layer of pale light, then fixed in the photo.

"Click!"

"Click-click!"

Xu Liang took criminal evidence from various places and explored the rest of the basement.

The basement had complete facilities to turn humans into skeletons.

Even, in the last few rooms, he found several sets of well-prepared bleached white bones!

"Almost enough, the time is up."

Xu Liang looked at his watch, realizing two hours were almost over, he no longer lingered.

He retraced his steps back to the way he came.

"Tap... tap..."

Steps echoed again on the stairs.

Before long, Xu Liang pushed open the basement door and walked up.

"Creak~"

The sound of the door hinge sounded again.

Feeling the fresh air, Xu Liang took a deep breath, then headed toward the front door, preparing to retrace his steps and leave to call for help.

However, just as he reached the front door...

In a moment of daze, a group of figures also came to the front door from outside, just as he bumped into them.

Xu Liang was dumbfounded for a moment.

The figures before him were also dumbfounded.

In an instant, the scene fell into an eerie silence.

Until...

"Hiss~!"

The clouds that covered the moon in the sky moved without wind, strands of cold moonlight illuminated the abandoned building.

Liu Shengjie's eyes turned, looking at the basement door.

The basement door lock...

Was opened.

In a flash.

Liu Shengjie radiated a sinister emotion, his expression gloomy, his gaze ominous, staring dead at Xu Liang.

"Mr. Xu, you..."

"Entered the boiler room?"

...
