Who Made Him a Lawyer?-Chapter 103 - 99: Chen Changchun Collapses

Liu Jin has been working as a criminal investigator in Hanhai City for more than ten years, having witnessed everything from bloody scenes to nauseating ones.

He believes there will be no case that could fracture his mentality now or in the future.

But...

November 1st, 2:00 AM.

When he pushed open the door to the basement of the Welfare Home and chose to walk down the stairs at that moment...

His mentality shattered like glass instantly!

"Da-da-da!!"

On the first floor of the abandoned building, those originally escorting the criminals suddenly heard urgent footsteps coming from the basement corridor.

They unanimously turned their heads to look towards the basement direction.

The next moment, Liu Jin rushed out from the door.

After returning to the first floor, Liu Jin stood there in a daze as if he had turned into a sculpture, unable to regain his senses for a long time.

The other officers tentatively inquired softly.

"Captain Liu, what's wrong?"

Liu Jin's face was ashen. Upon hearing the commotion, his eyes moved slightly, his lips looked like they wanted to say something, but...

As soon as he opened his mouth, a feeling of deep-seated nausea welled up from his soul to his throat.

"Ugh!!!"

Vomit sprayed from his mouth and nose like a faucet being turned on.

Liu Jin leaned against the wall, hunched over with a grimace.

"Ugh~!"

Another round of vomiting.

This scene frightened the surrounding officers, who quickly gathered around.

"Captain Liu, what's wrong!?"

"Should we take you to the hospital for a check-up?"

"Here's some water, drink some mineral water to ease up."

"..."

While the crowd discussed in loud whispers, Liu Jin didn't hear a single word; his face was pale and powerless, feeling weak all over.

He stared at the basement for a long time without saying a word.

Liu Jin entered the bottommost level of the abandoned building, the boiler room in the basement....

He saw four massive boilers.

He lifted the lid, shining a flashlight into the boiler to illuminate everything inside...

He clearly saw the corpses with their eyes wide open in the boiler!

This...

Liu Jin's heart turned to ash, he waved his hand to dismiss the surrounding officers and walked to a corner, took out a cell phone from his pocket, and dialed Chen Changchun's number.

"Doo-doo-doo~"

The dialing sound rang, and shortly afterwards, the call was connected.

"Hello?"

"What's the matter?"

Chen Changchun's voice came through the phone speaker into Liu Jin's ear. Liu Jin paused for a moment and suddenly spoke:

"Captain, there's a problem at Bright Welfare Institute."

"This case might be beyond the police's imagination..."

"You better prepare yourself mentally in advance!"

...

...

Meanwhile.

Inside Hanhai City Police Station.

At the 2:00 AM time slot, there was scarcely any lighting in the police station, only the special investigation team led by Chen Changchun, tasked with the 'Zheng Mei case,' was working overtime at the office.

Inside the office, the police officers were already exhausted.

But looking at the nearly completed task progress, some felt a slight sense of relief, smiling at colleagues and saying:

"Ah, after this case, I need to take a good vacation."

A remark setting the tone, prompting others to agree.

"I hardly saw my son this week; after the vacation, I need to take him to an amusement park."

"I just want to have a good sleep at home!"

"Same here, I hardly got any sleep these last two days, my brain is buzzing."

"I wonder how much the bonus will be this time..."

"..."

The office buzzed with chatter.

Until....

"What!?"

"Liu Jin, are you kidding me!?"

"I'm telling you, this is very serious. If you're joking about this, I'll skin you alive, damn it!"

Raged voices mixed with astonishment echoed, silencing everyone instantly as they instinctively turned their heads to look at Chen Changchun.

Chen Changchun 'clap' stood up.

His entire demeanor was menacing, his eyes filled with intense disbelief!

"Alright, I got it."

"You must control the crime scene right now, bring back those who ran in less than three hours!"

"This is an order!!!"

Chen Changchun's face was extremely displeased, his mouth seemingly about to touch the ground, he hung up the call with a gloomy expression.

Upon seeing this.

The officers who had not dared to speak until now cautiously probed with a question.

"Captain Chen, what happened?"

Chen Changchun did not answer, he merely left the room with a steely expression.

"Everyone, immediately drop your current work, arm yourselves, and head to Xinjiang District Bright Welfare Institute!"

Drop current work?

Some hesitated, "Captain Chen, but this...."

"I said, arm yourselves and head to Bright Welfare Institute!!!"

Chen Changchun's roar instantly silenced all complaints.

With that, everyone dismissed their thoughts, got up simultaneously, and headed outside.

"Yes!!!"

Chen Changchun did not speak further, his eyes smoldering with intense anger.

Standing in place, after reporting to Du Tao on his cell phone, he briskly walked to the police car.

"Clap!"

Opening the car door, Chen Changchun sat in the driver's seat without a word.

Then he said nothing and immediately reversed the car, heading to Xinjiang District as fast as he could!

At night, on Hanhai City's roads, there were very few cars.

In the dense, pitch-black darkness, a car flashing red and blue lights merged into a line speeding towards Xinjiang District.

"Vroom~!"

The engine roared.

Not long after.

The police car rushed into the suburb, in the blink of an eye, the shadow of Bright Welfare Institute was visible.

A moment later, the police car arrived at the gate of Bright Welfare Institute.

At this time, a multitude of police cars and medical personnel had already gathered at the gate, with officers from Hongfu District and Xinjiang District present.

The police lights forcefully illuminated the entire gate in the darkness.

"Screeech~!"

Chen Changchun slammed on the brakes, leaving several tire marks on the ground.

"Clap!"

He opened the door without saying a word and got out, then maneuvered through the crowd.

Within moments, he barged into the abandoned building.

As Chen Changchun stepped through the main entrance, his footsteps gradually faded.

In the lobby, countless stretcher beds were lined up, each covered with a white cloth, beneath which lay bodies.

A rough glance...

At least a dozen!

In an instant, Chen Changchun's heart trembled, feeling a rush of blood that didn't quite reach his brain, leaving him slightly oxygen-deprived.

His legs grew weak, and his body stumbled.

Liu Jin, standing nearby, quickly supported him.

"Captain!"

"Are you alright? Take it easy, take it easy!"

Liu Jin helped Chen Changchun sit in a chair.

After taking a few deep breaths, the odd sensation in Chen Changchun's body gradually dissipated. Regaining his composure, he watched as the police continuously brought bodies up from the basement. After a moment of lip movement, he finally asked in a deep voice:

"How many in total... how many?"

"23 bodies."

Liu Jin explained solemnly, "Thirteen of them are fully assembled skeletons."

"Judging by the traces on the bodies, the majority are stolen corpses."

Most of them were stolen corpses, which meant the small part...

"The small part were living people?" Chen Changchun asked.

Liu Jin paused, then nodded.

He understood what Chen Changchun meant.

This small portion of living people did not mean they were still alive.

Instead, they were the homeless and scavengers abducted by Zhang Mang right off the street!

These people were taken by Zhang Mang, drained of their value in life before they died, and then their bodies were brought to Liu Shengjie for disposal, while extracting every bit from the bones!

Chen Changchun closed his eyes.

It's a major case...

An earth-shattering case!!!

He didn't know how many victims there were, but just the thought alone indicated it was not a small number!!!

Chen Changchun sat in the lobby, watching the bodies being placed on stretcher beds and carried away one by one.

His eyes grew increasingly distant.

After a long time, Chen Changchun finally spoke:

"Where are Xu Liang and Wang Chao?"

"They went to the hospital."

"Which hospital?"

"Hanhai City First People's Hospital."

"What about Wang Hai?" 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

"Sent people to arrest him."

"Alright."

With that said.

Chen Changchun said no more, just watched the busy crime scene in front of him.

The bitterness in his heart grew stronger, and finally, he lifted his head, looking helplessly at the night sky.

Today.

Destined to be a sleepless night!

...

...

November 2nd.

9:30 in the morning.

Inside Hanhai City First People's Hospital.

In a double-occupancy room.

After a day and night of rest, the injuries of Xu Liang and Wang Chao had stabilized, and they were lying on the hospital bed receiving an IV drip.

The room was a two-person room with only Xu Liang and Wang Chao.

It was relatively quiet if you didn't count the family members... then it wasn't all that quiet.

"Why did you have to investigate so thoroughly?"

"If you found a problem, you should have just gone to the police, but you insisted on gathering evidence. Look at the mess now!"

In the room.

Yang Ruoxi, holding a fruit knife and peeling an apple, was talking non-stop, her pretty face full of discontent as she looked at the two in hospital gowns, though her eyes showed concern.

"Why did you push it so hard?!"

"A few minutes more, and the crime scene wouldn't have been destroyed anyway!"

Lying in bed, Xu Liang smiled awkwardly, without arguing.

The usually overbearing him, now had to let little Yang righteously overpower him...

Yang Ruoxi grew more irritated as she spoke, thinking if she had been a few minutes later in calling the police, Xu Liang might have fought desperately to the end.

"You're all about money, aren't you?!"

She glared, her eyes showing anger towards him.

"Heh heh."

Wang Chao, nearby, giggled, enjoying the situation.

Hearing Wang Chao laugh, Yang Ruoxi got even more annoyed, turning to glare at him too.

"What if I didn't mention you?!"

"I told you to keep watch, are you blind or what? People were already in your face before you noticed, right?!"

Wang Chao stopped smiling.

He retracted his large grin, taking the scoldings dutifully.

Xu Liang began to defend himself.

"In fact, collecting evidence didn't take long, just a few minutes. No matter how you shortened the time, we would have run into those people..."

Hearing his brother start to argue back.

Wang Chao felt emboldened and chimed in:

"Exactly."

"Besides, Sis, you have no idea how good Brother Liang is at fighting!"

"He took on nine armed guys! Though it seemed rough, the key parts weren't injured at all!"

"My God, I've never met anyone as good at fighting as Brother Liang in my life!"

Even now he was still amazed.

It was clear that the usually suave, suit-wearing man by his side had completely overturned his view.

"Yet you almost didn't make it!?"

Yang Ruoxi retorted sharply.

The words hit home, and the two had no comeback.

They could only say things like two taking on more than twenty doesn't count as losing, nearly dying isn't dead, and lawyers' brawls are called physical mediation.

These remarks made Yang Ruoxi roll her eyes.

She simply divided the peeled apple in half to shut their mouths.

Wang Chao's mouth was big, and finding half an apple couldn't stop him from wanting to laugh and continue talking.

But Yang Ruoxi's gaze made him abandon that thought.

Until...

"Knock knock knock~"

A sudden knocking came.

The three looked towards the door instinctively.

Yang Ruoxi said, "I'll get the door."

With that, she stood up, took a few steps to the door, and pressed down on the handle.

The next second.

"Creak~"

The door opened, revealing a dense crowd outside.

Seeing the people, Yang Ruoxi's face showed a sudden expression of astonishment.
