Who Made Him a Lawyer?

Chapter 496: Chapter 361: Pressing Inquiry!

"May I ask if your purpose in going to Sanma Village was hunting, or the so-called..."

"Moving corpses?"

Xu Liang’s face broke into a smile, showing no hint of coercion, instead appearing quite gentle.

But this expression turned utterly horrifying in Liu Meng’s eyes.

The moment those words fell, Liu Meng’s hair stood on end!

It felt as if a chilling breeze blew down his neck into his waist, making his breathing become slightly rapid, rough...

"Lawyer Xu..."

After a long pause, Liu Meng moistened his dry lips, leaning against the sofa, arms crossed and expressionless as he looked at Xu Liang.

"I don’t understand what you’re saying."

"Don’t understand?"

"That’s okay, I’ll make you understand."

Xu Liang was very empathetic, having encountered many cases of poor memory where restoring memory often requires a lot of effort.

Of course, the most effective way to restore memory is often with fists, though Xu Liang wasn’t particularly fond of using this method.

He preferred using the art of language!

Immediately, Xu Liang paused.

Then he gradually leaned back, pressing his back against the sofa, arms open, hands crossed on his abdomen, looking at the other with a condescending posture.

"I’ve investigated the death incidents in Sanma Village over the past ten years and discovered one thing, which is..."

"In the ten years, 23 cases of disappearance occurred, even if they were classified as deaths, no bodies were ever found!"

"This is very peculiar, but due to the geographical location, coupled with personnel changes in the CID team, this matter was concealed."

"Until..."

"Until the Hu Hua case emerged, prompting the police to refocus on Sanma Village."

Saying this, Xu Liang paused, his gaze like a bone-scraping knife scanning Liu Meng.

As his gaze swept over each part of his body, Liu Meng’s nerves tightened.

"On August 14th, there was a shooting murder case in Sanma Village."

"The victim of the case was Hu Hua, a thirteen-year-old child, who was playing in the woods during a summer camp in early August and got lost before being shot."

"Unlike the 23 other cases."

"In this case, less than three hours after death, someone discovered the body and reported it to the police!"

"Mr. Liu, do you think this is suspicious?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Meng felt himself plummet into an abyss, yet he still spoke:

"Lawyer Xu... Are you suspecting me as the murderer!? You’re chilling the hearts of the masses!"

"If every reporting citizen faced such questioning, who would report anything!?"

Upon hearing this.

Xu Liang stopped, then smiled.

Coincidentally, the fact is, that’s the case, everyone who reports a crime, more or less, will be asked some questions to clear their name.

But he couldn’t be bothered to answer Liu Meng’s stale question.

"Mr. Liu, I never said I suspected you as the murderer."

"It’s just that most of the clues I know unfortunately point to you."

"So... perhaps you know some hidden truths."

"For instance... Zhang Feng."

As he spoke, Xu Liang switched posture, seemingly without any psychological burden.

Conversely, Liu Meng, despite distinctly being in his own living room, felt an intense pressure sweeping over him, making it hard to breathe.

"Zhang Feng, the village head of Sanma Village."

"How do you know him?"

The instant those words fell, Xu Liang’s presence exploded with an inexplicable force, his face settled into calmness, his eyes pierced straight into Liu Meng’s soul.

"I..."

Liu Meng was speechless, suddenly paused, inwardly frustrated at being tricked earlier.

But what’s crucial now is... how does he explain this? How to explain why he knows Zhang Feng?

Couldn’t he say that after finding the body, he rushed to Sanma Village nearby, then encountered the village head, and got to know him?

No, that’s impossible.

If he went to Sanma Village and reported the case, the village head and others would surely wait at the site for the police.

Yet, when the police arrived at the scene, there was no sign of Zhang Feng!

How else to explain?

Claim that he came to Sanma Village for hunting in the past?

This would be even easier, Xu Liang could directly call Zhang Feng from Sanma Village and check the testimony, inconsistencies would naturally raise suspicion.

So...

Liu Meng shut up.

He sat silently on the sofa, seemingly resolute, saying nothing at all.

Seeing this, Xu Liang wasn’t anxious either but withdrew his gaze and stood up.

"Tap, tap..."

His footsteps sounded beside Liu Meng.

Xu Liang leaned slightly, picking up the framed wedding photo from the table.

He looked at the picture, a slight smile emerging on his face, and spoke:

"Not willing to talk? No matter, if you won’t, I’ll say it for you."

Immediately, Xu Liang paused.

Then a narrative voice echoed through the empty flat.

"Twenty years ago, you divorced your wife, if I’m not mistaken."

"The main reason for your divorce was daily necessities, which boils down to money."

"Of course, it might also be that you lacked ambition and progress, living a life that’s predictable, thus choosing divorce."

Saying this, a look of admiration filled Xu Liang’s face.

He looked at Liu Meng, sitting on the sofa below.

"This woman is remarkable, her judgment is razor-sharp."

"After the divorce, you started finding ways to make money, but it was clear the lack of knowledge and capability prevented you from making big money."

"If I’m not mistaken..."

"It was around that time Zhang Feng appeared, offering a generous reward to help you move corpses... it’s possible that you knew each other beforehand, he trusted you, knowing your nature."

"But in any case, you and Zhang Feng reached a collaboration."
