Chapter 506: Chapter 366: Confession!
Zhang Bo has a new habit now.
It’s to first ask the defendant’s side if they want to submit evidence before starting the trial.
Sometimes, during his case trials, the defendants feel somewhat baffled, after all, according to the trial process, their evidence should have already been submitted during the evidence period.
Out of nowhere asking a strange question during trial, what’s that about!?
"My side...."
Yang Ruoxi bit her lip, her brow full of contemplation, and after a long moment, she said:
"My side follows trial procedures, let the prosecution answer first."
Following trial procedures....
Not even the attorney’s present, does that count as order?
Zhang Bo’s eye twitched, but he didn’t say anything, knowing well that if the defendant truly wanted to do an evidence ambush... it would surely be at a crucial moment, and asking wouldn’t reveal much.
Helplessly, he turned to the prosecution side.
"Prosecution, please speak."
Huang Ren remained silent for a moment.
Honestly, if Xu Liang wasn’t present, he could argue the case even better, possibly even win easily.
But...
With Xu Liang really absent, it made him suspicious instead.
The opponent’s reputation is so resounding, who knows if his absence is due to actual illness or secretly investigating elsewhere....
Just, if it was the latter, why investigate secretly?
Huang Liang was puzzled, but since the trial had already started, he could only retract his thoughts, then took a deep breath and said solemnly:
"Regarding the first trial, the controversy about the defendant’s mental illness...."
"Here is the defendant’s evaluation report!"
...
...
Inside the zoo.
"I heard Boss Wu likes to sell rare things here?"
Xu Liang looked at the other person, and with a gentle smile said.
Upon hearing this, Wu Lei paused, his smile growing more enthusiastic as he said:
"Mr. Xu, what are you looking for!?"
Xu Liang countered, "What can you sell me?"
"Whatever you want, I’ve got it!"
Wu Lei patted his chest confidently.
He’s a black-market middleman, dealing in smuggling, wildlife, humans, he does it all!
Of course, Wu Lei won’t cross certain lines, like personally catching people to sell, or dealing drugs and smuggling arms, those he won’t touch.
But that said.
Aside from these red lines... he can dabble in everything else!
"Lions, tigers, elephants, cheetahs, whatever you want." Wu Lei said.
"Even elephants?"
Xu Liang raised an eyebrow, a bit surprised.
"Yes, they’re easy to handle!"
Wu Lei patted his chest again, as if it were merely a trivial matter.
"Of course, I don’t recommend keeping one, their temperament isn’t good, and their size is too large, easily causing accidents when mad, and aren’t easy to hide."
Wu Lei spoke with subtle warning.
He really doesn’t mind if an elephant harms Xu Liang.
What he cares about is if an elephant gets discovered by officials, it could burn him!
Of course, club members might not fear officials, but he does.
"Like lions or tigers... I also don’t recommend you buy."
Wu Lei added another point.
"Of course, if it’s for hunting, that’s another matter."
"Hunting?"
Xu Liang’s interest was piqued, he smiled and assessed the other person up and down.
Wu Lei quickly said: "Some people enjoy hunting, like using slingshots for birds, or bows for pheasants."
"But... such things aren’t worthy of someone with your status."
As he spoke, he smiled, happily saying:
"Sometimes someone might buy tigers and lions from officials, tag them with trackers and release them into the wild, then commence a hunt."
Spending big money to buy lions and tigers, only to shoot them....
Sounds strange, but it’s true, there are countless cases.
Even some tycoons spend money joining poaching teams to hunt in Hezhou Grassland, the principle is the same.
"I see."
Xu Liang smiled.
"Of course, if you want to raise one, I’d suggest starting with cubs."
Wu Lei added a comment, "The zoo currently doesn’t have cubs, but I can surely arrange them within two months!"
"If it’s for meat, that’s simple... though the taste might be disappointing."
Getting meat is straightforward.
Not just in Wu Lei’s zoo, even regular zoos might secretly sell.
After all, animals can die unexpectedly, whether by illness, falling, or fighting to death, and once an animal dies, its body can be sold by those with interest.
Like bear claws, or tiger penises, are hot commodities.
But Xu Liang’s goal isn’t this.
It’s....
"What about people?"
Xu Liang squinted, a shadow flashed in his eyes.
Wu Lei was taken aback, "What?"
"I said... do you sell people?" Xu Liang repeated.
Upon hearing this.
The atmosphere instantly grew tense, Wu Lei then spoke:
"How many do you need? What type?"
"Different types have different prices, young women are more expensive than young men, young boys more expensive than girls, a mother-daughter pair is pricier...."
"Of course, it depends on your need, what do you want them for?"
He can actually gather them.....
Even grades them, placing different prices on different people!
Xu Liang smirked coldly inside, but didn’t feel like acting anymore.
He’s familiarized himself with the zoo’s layout, not many people are inside, mainly security, caretakers, and Wu Lei, fewer than twenty, and among them, caretakers might be unrelated to the case.
Thus, even if the other side rushes at him, he’s not afraid!
"What exactly are Zhang Feng and Veterinarian Sun doing in Sanma Village!?"
