Who Made Him a Lawyer?

Chapter 489: Chapter 357: Reverse Thinking! Critical Insight!

Also watching as the small law firm from Hongfu Street gradually expanded into Qingshi City.

The speed could be described as lightning-fast, but the risks and costs were even greater, without missing a single bit!

Every case was exceptionally thrilling, and a single misstep or moment of laxity could be life-threatening.

Take the point of entering Qingshi City as an example. If Xu Liang had not confronted Blue Shield, the opponent truly would have dared to annex the Conscience Law Firm, ultimately working for others in vain....

Having endured such hardships, the hard-earned reputation was now being tarnished by a group of short-sighted fools!

"Why think so much about it."

Xu Liang found himself both crying and laughing.

Upon hearing this, Yang Ruoxi, who was beside him, started muttering again.

"We also contributed to that reputation. Now that it’s gone, are you saying I’m not allowed to be upset?"

Xu Liang chuckled quietly, sat in the driver’s seat, and gently rubbed Yang Ruoxi’s face to distract her.

Her warm cheeks were kneaded, forcing her lips to pout.

"Stop moving around!"

Yang Ruoxi got a bit flustered. Looking at herself in the mirror, she exclaimed angrily:.

"You ruined my makeup!!!"

"Alright, there’s no need to get angry over this. Reputation is ultimately just for advertising purposes. True strength lies within; ability is what matters most!"

Xu Liang consoled her with a statement.

The same old saying goes.

A lawyer can be a litigator, but you absolutely cannot be incompetent!

Even if the reputation is tainted, what if... what if he can secure a victory for Lv Xiong!?

When the police, the prosecution, and society all believe, even Lv Xiong himself thinks he committed murder....

"If you were to win, do you think the firm would lack business?"

Xu Liang suddenly spoke up.

The two girls paused, instinctively connecting the dots.

Anyone who wants to file a lawsuit has had their interests infringed upon, and nine out of ten people just want to win, not caring about the lawyer’s character.

Let’s give an example.

Suppose your pregnant wife was violently beaten, and you decide to hire a lawyer to file a lawsuit. At this time, two people are standing in front of you.

One lawyer has a particularly good reputation, but only a thirty percent success rate; the other is like a rat in the street, his methods borderline legal, but he wins one hundred percent of the time!

Which one would you choose?

But....

"Win!?"

Yang Ruoxi and Su Yu were stunned. As soon as the two of them heard those words, they instantly abandoned their previous thoughts, showing confusion and shock on their faces.

"Can Lv Xiong really win this case!?"

Honestly, neither of them thought from the start that the case could achieve a big victory.

After all, the objective facts were too solid, and even Lv Xiong himself believed he killed someone.

In such a situation, there was hardly a way out; at most, you could achieve a reduced sentence by using a mental illness defense and the multiple injections of ’thiabendazole’.

Would a reduced sentence count as a victory? Yes, it would.

But both of them knew that a reduced sentence did not count as a victory for Xu Liang!

"It can!"

Xu Liang’s face turned serious, having thoroughly pondered since the end of the case.

"When Prosecutor Huang from the prosecution side debated with me in court about mental illness, I began to reflect..."

"Can thiabendazole + psychological illness really lead to long-lasting hallucinations!?"

Could it?

It might last a bit longer than for ordinary people, but not by much, at most a few seconds.

No matter how much you say it, it’s not mental illness, and Lv Xiong isn’t a mental patient.

Therefore....

"Perceiving a person as a pig for several minutes is utterly unreasonable, let alone under the adrenaline rush with heightened focus."

Xu Liang slowly explained.

Suddenly, he paused and suddenly said:

"But... what if the pig wasn’t a hallucination, and instead, the person was the hallucination?"

The person... was the hallucination?

In an instant, Yang Ruoxi and Su Yu paused, then their pupils slightly contracted.

"First of all, the police including us."

"Believed the pig was an illusion because of the objective fact of Hu Hua’s death!"

"If we overlook this point and only examine Lv Xiong’s chase and hunt process..."

Then, the logical explanation would be....

"During the hunt, Lv Xiong saw a wild boar, and in the process, experienced an illusion, seeing the boar as a human."

Xu Liang said slowly.

It wasn’t the act of mistaking a human for a pig, but rather seeing a pig as a human!

Lasting only for a brief moment...that aligns perfectly with the image presented by thiabendazole + psychological illness!

Thus, the previous unreasonable situations have been explained!

However...

"If this really is the case...does it mean Lv Xiong didn’t kill Hu Hua at all!?"

Yang Ruoxi’s face showed astonishment, her whole demeanor expressing a stunned look.

Beside her, Su Yu covered her lips lightly, exclaiming in shock:

"Hu Hua is indeed dead, truly shot to death, so there must be a murderer. If it wasn’t Lv Xiong... then there must be a second murderer!?"

"Lv Xiong never let go of his gun; could there be a second gun in Sanma Village!?"

Previously, they had indeed considered this possibility.

But there was no basis, no logical chain, and no supporting information, so they could only focus on gathering defense materials for Lv Xiong.

However, right now...

If this truly is the case...

"It’s a frame-up!"

"Lv Xiong surely isn’t the real killer; he’s the scapegoat being set up!"

Su Yu suddenly had a revelation and felt a surge of clarity in her mind, barely keeping up with Xu Liang’s train of thought!

"Then who is the real killer?" Yang Ruoxi asked in pursuit.

"This...." Su Yu hesitated, having no thoughts coming to mind for the time being.

At present, besides Lv Xiong, there are two other major suspects in Sanma Village.

One is the veterinarian from the vet station, and the other is Village Chief Zhang of Sanma Village.

But the former merely enjoys injecting people with thiabendazole, and Xu Liang had also probed the latter, who didn’t seem like the real killer.

Apart from these two.

The other villagers in Sanma Village, like Lv Xiong, are hidden ’addicts’, having no interest in murder.

From this perspective.

Sanma Village... at least its residents are unrelated to Hu Hua’s death!

Could it be...

"An out-of-towner perpetrated the murder!?"

Yang Ruoxi racked her brains, furrowing her brows in thought.

At present, Hu Hua could very well have been killed by an outsider after straying into the barren mountains.

However... why would an out-of-towner have a gun?

Never mind the feasibility of bringing a firearm along the highway past multiple checks.

The mere fact of carrying a gun to the remote Sanma Village in itself seems inexplicably illogical!

"Darn it, the case is stuck in a dead end again."

Yang Ruoxi anxiously flustered, wrestling her brain, but it was clear her brain was uncooperative.

Still, the situation was exactly as she said.

The case was stuck in a dead end once more.

Previously, it was Lv Xiong’s hallucination; now there’s no way to derive a motive for murder.

You can’t possibly deem it accidental manslaughter, for instance, someone mistaking the deceased for a wild boar and shooting them dead.

It’s possible, but the odds are infinitely close to zero!

"The deceased Hu Hua’s wound wasn’t from the front, but from the back!"

"From the rear left side, the bullet accurately pierced the heart through the chest cavity from behind."

Xu Liang suddenly spoke up, once again reinforcing the point.

What could this indicate?

Two pieces of information.

One, excellent marksmanship!

Two....

"It was intentional murder with a strong motive, pulling the trigger solely to kill!"

Xu Liang voiced confidently.

Marksmanship requires a lot of bullets for practice, which might serve as a breakthrough point for investigation.

After all, to practice shooting, you need a gun and bullets first of all.

Having a gun is simpler; the principles aren’t complex.

If you were a machinist, you could perhaps cobble together a gun yourself, but bullets are harder to come by.

Even if you truly possessed a gun and bullets, how would you practice shooting?

Unsure.

Xu Liang couldn’t piece together all these aspects in a single thought, but this didn’t impede him from devising the ensuing plan.

"The main focus in the upcoming investigation will be Sanma Village!"

While speaking, his gaze sharpened.

The killer could be an outsider.

Yet...

Village Chief Zhang and Veterinarian Sun of Sanma Village are definitely privy to the truth or at least hold some clues!

"Road construction, thiabendazole, wild wolves, barren mountains, frequent deaths...."

Xu Liang recalled Village Chief Zhang’s and Lv Xiong’s words about Sanma Village in his mind.

In a trance, Xu Liang suddenly squinted slightly.

"Perhaps... there aren’t many wild wolves in the mountains of Sanma Village?"

If indeed, Lv Xiong didn’t commit murder.

Then Hu Hua’s death was purely a frame-up against Lv Xiong.

If truly so, what about the so-called wolf killings in Sanma Village?

Could that also... be another frame-up!?
