Who Made Him a Lawyer?-Chapter 109 - 105: He’s the Real Shyster!

"I'll take care of it."

Wang Chao said a sentence and quickly went to find Liu Jin.

Chen Changchun also said no more.

Under normal circumstances, a criminal of Wang Hai's level should not be meeting with others casually.

But Lu Yao is different.

If he didn't meet, the next time Chen Changchun saw him, he might already be swinging from a rope at home...

Moreover, out of feelings... Chen Changchun couldn't bear to refuse this not-quite-request.

After a while, Liu Jin appeared in front of everyone.

"Captain Chen."

Liu Jin came to Chen Changchun and sought confirmation.

Chen Changchun nodded directly, "Let him meet."

Upon hearing this, Liu Jin agreed without saying anything, and led Lu Yao, who was calm-faced, toward the interrogation room.

Before long, the two entered.

The decor of the interrogation room was very oppressive and dark, to the point where even people unrelated to the case would instinctively feel panic upon entering.

This does not mean ordinary people's psychological quality is inadequate.

It's intentionally created by the police!

Some officers become quite irritable during interrogations, or smoke, not because of a lack of professionalism, but to create psychological pressure on the person being interrogated, urging them to disclose clues as quickly as possible!

But Lu Yao was different; he almost ignored these factors.

He sat on the chair, quietly waiting.

For a long time...

"Creak~"

The door of the interrogation room was pushed open again, and Liu Jin and others appeared, with someone pinned in front.

That person... was Wang Hai!

After entering, Wang Hai glanced at Lu Yao and then withdrew his gaze, not giving it any significance.

"Sit down!"

Liu Jin shouted at Wang Hai. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

Wang Hai slowly sat in the interrogation seat, then looked directly at Lu Yao in front of him.

"Who are you, and what do you want from me?"

Wang Hai sized up the other man.

Lu Yao showed no expression, not speaking immediately.

After a long silence, Lu Yao finally spoke:

"Why did you commit murder?"

Why commit murder?

Wang Hai paused, and then smiled, "I didn't commit murder."

"I merely let everyone bring out their own value, just that my subordinates had issues in execution, it had nothing to do with me."

"By rights, the police are now illegally detaining me!"

In a sentence, he directly denied all his actions...

Lu Yao stared at Wang Hai for a long time, and suddenly spoke:

"Who do you think has value?"

"Everyone has value, even the dead!"

Wang Hai spoke frankly, unafraid of the police.

The crimes he had committed and the penalties they brought, whether he confessed or not, were irrelevant. Only by sticking to the plan and gritting his teeth was the most important!

"I want to ask you, what is the value of a senile old person?"

Lu Yao's gaze dimmed, staring fixedly at Wang Hai, like a hidden tiger in the shadows.

A senile old person?

"Is this someone related to you?"

Wang Hai paused, then lightly chuckled, showing indifference.

He continued to speak:

"Not much value."

"Normally, only the physical body itself and maybe squeezing some money from it could offer a slight release."

A release for others...

What's the theory here?

Similar to a stress-relief room.

The so-called stress-relief room should be familiar to some, it's a room filled with a bunch of bottles and cans, letting you destroy them with a stick or stone, relieving accumulated internal stress, that's a stress-relief room.

Of course, it could be substituted with a person.

Only that implementing it in practice had many bugs.

"How much is she worth?"

Lu Yao asked again.

"Ten thousand?" Wang Hai gave an estimated value.

Lu Yao fell silent.

Liu Jin and several policemen watched him tensely, afraid that if they weren't careful, the next second, he might pounce directly.

But he didn't do that.

Instead, he took a photo from his pocket, showing a smiling, plainly dressed Wang Cuiping.

"Do you recognize her?"

Lu Yao placed the photo in front of him.

Wang Hai glanced at it and then didn't look again.

"I don't recognize her."

Wang Hai answered truthfully, thought for a moment, then smiled and said:

"Was she affected by my subordinates?"

"If so... then I apologize; I'm willing to offer you a funeral expense of ten thousand yuan."

"Other than that, there's nothing I can do since this is unrelated to me... strictly speaking, I didn't know about it, it's unrelated to me."

Before he finished speaking.

The next second.

"Bang!"

Lu Yao's face was dark, breathing heavily, mixed with intense hatred.

Wang Hai remained indifferent, knowing that if he felt guilty for every victim that died because of him, he might as well become paralyzed in the face!

For a long while.

Lu Yao took a deep breath, stood up, took one last look at Wang Hai, and turned to leave.

"Remember what you just said!!!"

After speaking.

Lu Yao disappeared from the interrogation room.

The policemen beside him breathed a sigh of relief, and then started to take Wang Hai to the detention room.

Lu Yao didn't make a move; he knew that his action wouldn't cause a ripple, it wouldn't affect Wang Hai's life or death, nor could it bring revenge.

But someone could sentence Wang Hai to death!

"All done watching?"

Not far from the interrogation room, Xu Liang was waiting for him, and upon seeing Lu Yao without any police accompanying him, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Lu Yao nodded.

After a long time, he suddenly spoke heavily:

"I want Wang Hai dead."

Xu Liang paused, thought for a moment, then said:

"Wang Hai's crimes are enough for him to die."

"Lawyer Xu, you assign a value for Wang Hai," Lu Yao said solemnly.

He wanted Wang Hai dead, but he wanted even more for Wang Hai to die because of his mother, not because of other crimes!

He was a clever man.

Knowing that this case would inevitably involve Xu Liang once it went to court, they went straight to Xu Liang.

Xu Liang pondered for a moment.

"Just need an additional hundred thousand."

The original contract was for thirty thousand from Lu Yao, but with the additional hundred thousand, it came to forty thousand.

Though it seemed a little low to pay just a hundred thousand to have Wang Hai killed.

But...

The investigation by the Six Ministries already had Wang Hai on the brink of the death penalty!

And Xu Liang was merely acting as a witness, playing with the art of language, so the hundred thousand price was arguably inflated.

"Alright."

Lu Yao agreed immediately.

He didn't say much more, turned around, and walked toward the forensic room.

Wang Cuiping's body was still at the police station, he needed to claim it and then bury it.

He couldn't wait until the body started to smell to remember this matter...

"Tsk, to have Wang Hai killed..."

Xu Liang clicked his tongue slightly, and then set off toward Yang Ruoxi who was waiting for him in the hall.

Yang Ruoxi was still waiting for him.

The two hadn't eaten since noon, so going back quickly to make do with a meal together and then discussing the case was the top priority.

It's just...

"Where is the detention room?"

"I don't know... do you want to ask a police officer?"

"..."

As Xu Liang walked into the hall, he vaguely overheard a conversation.

Looking up, he saw a man in a suit holding a briefcase talking to Yang Ruoxi.

Xu Liang showed curiosity and walked closer.

"What's the matter?"

Seeing him return, Yang Ruoxi paused, stood up, walked over to his side, and then spoke:

"Nothing's wrong, it's just that this gentleman wants to know where the detention room is, but can't find a police officer..."

Though there were police officers everywhere, they all had work to do.

Qian Li had asked several, but they kept passing the buck, so he had no choice but to approach Yang Ruoxi, who also seemed to be a lawyer.

After all, since he accepted Wang Hai's commission, he had to take it seriously.

There were quite a few hidden details in Wang Hai's commission, and Qian Li had to dig for details to get started!

"Detention room?"

"What do you need the detention room for?"

Xu Liang was somewhat surprised, scrutinizing Qian Li, and then paused, asking:

"You're a lawyer?"

Lawyers were frequent visitors to the police station, so encountering one there was normal.

However...

In the past few days, apart from Wang Hai, no other important figures had been arrested in Hanhai City's police bureau.

The human traffickers on Zheng Mei's side shouldn't be looking for a defense lawyer only now, and even if they did, it would be humanitarian legal aid, and it would be surprising if they weren't just going through the motions, let alone being so proactive?

"Yes, I am a lawyer."

Qian Li nodded, "My client is now in the detention room, and I need to go over and understand the situation."

The client in the detention room...

Xu Liang suddenly stopped, exchanged a glance with Yang Ruoxi beside him.

He seemed to know whose agent this person was.

However....

"Let me confirm."

"Is your client named Wang Hai?"

Xu Liang's mouth twitched.

Qian Li was also taken aback, frowning, "Yes."

"Are you going to defend him?" Xu Liang's mouth twitched again.

"That's right."

Qian Li nodded, since it's a criminal case, he naturally had to act as defense lawyer for the other party.

But...

"What kind of defense are you planning?" Xu Liang once again inquired.

"Naturally aiming for an acquittal!"

Qian Li answered without hesitation.

In criminal cases, there's only win or lose, no such thing as win-win!

Oh no, not completely.

At least in the Zheng Mei case, after Sun Quan's trial, those few days Zheng Mei felt it was win-win, but later she was also screwed over really bad...

And speaking of winning...

It depends on the client's demands and the lawyer's subjective contemplation.

In general, if one can slightly reduce the original sentence, it counts as a victory, but for a top-notch lawyer, and someone like Qian Li who wants to become one...

"Naturally innocent."

Qian Li said, not fearing to shock people, making Xu Liang's mouth twitch uncontrollably.

Seeing this, Qian Li felt he had spoken too boldly, so he added:

"A reduced sentence is also acceptable, my client's demand currently appears to be a limited term of imprisonment."

Xu Liang didn't say anything.

He just looked at him with an expression full of complex emotions.

"Why... why are you looking at me like that?" Qian Li was a bit puzzled by the look.

"How old are you, young man?" Xu Liang asked.

"26." Qian Li replied.

"Only 26, huh."

Xu Liang smacked his lips together, then gave Qian Li a once-over, and sighed heavily.

"Tsk, such a young guy... what a pity."

Pity?

Qian Li was even more puzzled.

Why did it sound like he was going to die!?

He was just asking for directions!!!

"No... what do you really mean?" Qian Li asked persistently, feeling a bit uneasy.

"It means nothing, just take it as nonsense from me."

Xu Liang sighed.

Then he pointed to a place and said:

"That's where the city bureau's detention room is, Wang Hai is in there."

"Go ahead."

Upon hearing this.

Qian Li's lips moved for a moment, looking at Xu Liang with a thoughtful gaze, and finally...

He decided against further questioning, wisely choosing to stay far away from this 'madman'.

Watching Qian Li's departing back.

Xu Liang showed a look full of sighs.

"Little Yang."

"Hmm?" Yang Ruoxi instinctively looked over at him.

"Don't call me a pettifogger anymore." Xu Liang said with a hint of lament.

"He is the real pettifogger!"
