Who Made Him a Lawyer?-Chapter 56 - 52: Arrest!

What connection is there!?

Would the other party say this to my face, could it be... could it already be....

Mr. Zhou felt like his brain was about to explode, his breathing was rapid yet he still felt out of breath, his entire being trembling with fear.

He raised his head wanting to say something, but saw Xu Liang’s smiling and gentle face.

"I... I don’t know."

Mr. Zhou forced a smile in response.

"You don’t know..."

Xu Liang was thoughtful, then suddenly said:

"Speaking of which, buying this car must have cost quite a bit, right."

"Tsk, this big brand, looking at this car... it must be worth a lot, does it cost seventy thousand?"

Mr. Zhou instinctively responded: "It’s seventy thousand in total, excluding the license plate."

Seventy thousand, in this era, is not a small sum. Buying a taxi seems like a loss, but in fact... it’s quite profitable!

From now onwards, Xu Liang predicted taxis would get more profitable, and later on, taxi licenses could be traded for profit.

However...

"Where did the money come from?"

Xu Liang suddenly asked a precise question that grabbed Mr. Zhou by the throat.

The atmosphere that had just eased rapidly tensed up again.

Mr. Zhou felt his heart leap into his throat.

"My... my brother gave me the money... he opened a pig farm."

"Oh, no wonder."

Xu Liang nodded, and Mr. Zhou thought he would delve further, but he didn’t continue to probe deeper.

Until...

"Your brother really earns well, keeping just a dozen pigs throughout the year and still able to buy you this car..."

Xu Liang sat on a chair beside him, with a gentle demeanor.

"There must be other profitable side businesses involved."

"By the way, police found a dozen children under the pigsty, Mr. Zhou, do you think... is it related?"

Xu Liang spoke with a smile.

The smile was beautiful, but in Mr. Zhou’s eyes it appeared extremely terrifying.

Profits, children...

Mr. Zhou just felt like there was a heart pounding in his throat, and his mind instantly became congested.

He instinctively touched the thing sewn within the crevice.

"Mr. Zhou, don’t rush to answer."

"Your mother seems really concerned about the case progress, so let me reveal a bit of what the police have grasped."

Xu Liang shifted the topic back to the case.

"The police... found something near the body."

"When the police opened it... whoa, you’ll never guess what’s written on it!?"

Xu Liang stared mysteriously at Mr. Zhou.

Mr. Zhou found it increasingly difficult to breathe as he listened to these words, staring intently at Xu Liang.

Just as his pulse was soaring, Xu Liang suddenly spat out the latter half of the sentence.

"There are dozens of children’s detailed information on it!"

"For example, among the dozens of clues the police know, one is about a girl named Sun Qian who was abducted thirteen years ago in Jiang City, and the book actually clearly states where she was taken!"

"Hey, Mr. Zhou, isn’t this amazing!?"

The moment these words fell.

Mr. Zhou just felt his vision go black!

’They know... they know everything!’

His entire mental defense collapsed instantly, his eyeballs turning blood red.

’Confess...’

’I have to confess!’

Just in a split second, he lost any thought of resistance, tears rolling in his eyes, just ready to confess.

Wang Chao next to him tightened his gaze.

He instantly raised his two sturdy arms, pressing down on Mr. Zhou.

The other hand directly covered his mouth!

"Captain, this is definitely a human trafficker!!!"

Wang Chao roared angrily, shouting at the top of his lungs.

Mr. Zhou went mad, opening his mouth wanting to confess, but the hand covering his mouth stuck to his face, unable to be shaken off.

The most crucial thing was...

He couldn’t even breathe!

"Still want to run!?" Wang Chao shouted, using all his might with his hands, no matter how much the other resisted, it was useless.

Until...

Moments later, Mr. Zhou, who had been deprived of oxygen for a long time, fainted.

Only then did Wang Chao let go.

"Rip open his pocket." Xu Liang pointed to the right pocket area of Mr. Zhou’s pants.

In times of tension, people tend to have many small actions.

These small actions go unnoticed, and those words he said earlier were intentionally meant to provoke Mr. Zhou’s small actions, indirectly locking onto the ’clue’ Mr. Zhou used to clear himself of guilt.

Upon hearing this, Wang Chao immediately tore open the entire pants.

"Squeak~!"

With a clear sound, the pocket was instantly torn open, revealing a compartment inside.

And inside the crevice...

There were actually several sheets of paper!

Spreading out these papers, names and locations suddenly appeared before their eyes.

Wang Chao’s eyes shifted swiftly, and he reminded Chen Changchun, "Master, these are the incriminating evidence we found when we caught them!"

"Hmm..."

Chen Changchun responded perfunctorily, completely focused as he searched with Xu Liang.

’Thirteen years ago... thirteen years ago in Jiang City...’

Xu Liang held his breath, his eyes serious and constantly scanning the scene.

Until moments later...

"Found it!"

"Thirteen years ago, in Jiang City, Sun Qian was sold to Sui Shan for six thousand yuan..."

Six thousand yuan...

Six thousand yuan was all that was needed to buy a life...

Xu Liang’s face turned ashen gray, and now looking at the Zhou Family below him, anger had completely filled his chest.

If nothing unexpected happened.

Sun Quan had already at dawn on the 14th, ridden his motorcycle toward Sui Shan, and that place was hundreds of kilometers away, deep in the mountains, the remote of the remotest!

It’s noon on the 15th now, the police might intercept him if they take the highway!

Chen Changchun took a deep breath, his gaze finally hardened.

"To Sui Shan..."

"Catch Sun Quan!!!"

...

...

Sui Shan.

Sui Shan isn’t just one mountain, but a region formed by continuous ranges of mountains, lacking development value, the roads unfinished, and thus not known by many.

The vast majority of locals live within the deep mountains, and due to the remoteness, the customs are quite fierce.

There were people who came here for poverty alleviation, but due to personnel characteristics, they eventually temporarily gave up.

Even the local officials find them a headache, unsure how to handle them.

So over time, besides those trafficked here, there’s barely a single outsider seen in a month.

However... 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

August 16.

Night, half past ten.

"Buzz buzz~!"

A man riding an old, battered motorcycle plunged into the deep forest where visibility was less than five meters.

The vehicle continued driving through the muddy road.

The man’s weathered face showed no expression, his cloudy eyes fixedly stared ahead, and his parched, peeling lips pressed against the wind.

For a long time.

Sun Quan stopped the bike, looking at what’s in front of him.

There appeared a crude hut before him, not large, looked very worn-down, emitting a foul stench.

Outside the hut, there was a cattle shed, with some chicken droppings beneath it, and on closer inspection, there were a few chickens raised not far away.

Something was tied up inside the cattle shed, but it wasn’t a cow. It was curled up in the corner, based on its size it was...

A person.

Sun Quan’s chapped lips moved for a while, his cloudy eyes fixed in a stare.

His trembling steps approached the cattle shed step by step.

After a long time, a rough, disheveled-haired woman with a crazed look appeared before Sun Quan, her neck tied by a rope.

Thirteen years...

Thirteen years had passed!

But even after thirteen years, Sun Quan recognized this person.

"Thud!"

His legs gave way, collapsing to the ground, crawling over on all fours, trembling as he reached out to touch the woman’s face, as if afraid of breaking it.

Sun Quan’s expression was both laughing and crying.

He couldn’t speak, only choked and trembled, cautiously touching the girl, as if she was a rare treasure.

The touch on her face woke the woman.

Sun Quan just prepared to say something.

But unexpectedly.

The girl opened her eyes, saw the man in front of her and paused, then fearfully turned around, habitually preparing to take off her pants.

She raised her backside toward Sun Quan.

Sun Quan was astonished.

Suddenly, it felt as though a nuclear bomb exploded in his mind, his face turned pale.

Sun Quan stood frozen, at some point, his vision blurred, and tears the size of beans fell from his eyes.

"Sis..."

He tremblingly cut the rope binding the girl with a sickle.

The emaciated body tightly embraced the girl.

Sun Quan stood up, his eyes scanning the surrounding dark Sui Shan, looking towards the base of the hill where blue and red lights were flashing, murmuring.

"Don’t be afraid... Brother’s here..."

"Brother’s taking you home..."

"We’re going home..."
