Chapter 537: Chapter 376: This Is How a Trial Unfolds!
The young prosecutor couldn’t help but glance at his supervisor.
Huang Ren remained silent all along.
It’s a good opportunity for the young man to gain experience. In another place, there would be no opponent as surprising as Xu Liang.
The prosecutor took a deep breath and continued:
"The opposing lawyer, yet there’s no evidence of a third party at the crime scene..."
Xu Liang was never one to be polite.
So he interrupted before the other person finished speaking.
"Who said there’s none!?"
"We have an eyewitness!"
Suddenly, Xu Liang spoke loudly, introducing his third point.
The first point, he highlighted the irrational aspects.
The second one was to exonerate Lv Xiong from the murder.
The third was... preparing to overturn the case!
"This case was reported by Liu Meng on August 14th, in the afternoon. Police found the body shortly afterward."
"But before that, our party discovered one thing, which is... Sanma Village doesn’t have only this case’s victim, Hu Hua, having an incident."
Xu Liang took a deep breath, reclaiming his voice authority through his tone.
Then, he calmed his emotions and began speaking slowly:
"But rather..."
"A total of twenty-three cases of disappearances!"
Twenty-three... twenty-three disappearance cases!?
As the words fell, the whole scene froze momentarily, followed by a rapid constriction of pupils and expressions of shock.
A village... with twenty-three people missing!?
If you count Hu Hua... that makes it twenty-four!
"According to the investigation, since 1995, Sanma Village has seen a total of twenty-three persons disappear, yet strangely, the police haven’t found any bones of the missing persons from Sanma Village!"
"If it were just one case, it might be overlooked, but to have twenty-three cases!"
Still the same sentence.
Twenty-three bodies in the forest.
Even if only two or three police officers were dispatched, they could find one or two corpses within a few days!
But the reality is not a single one was found.
"Due to personnel movements among various precincts over a decade and jurisdiction issues over Sanma Village, this matter went unnoticed."
"It wasn’t until our side organized the files that this anomaly became apparent."
Xu Liang spoke slowly, his voice not loud, as he pulled out records of the disappearance reports related to Sanma Village from his briefcase.
The clerk didn’t speak, quickly came over to inspect the records.
Seeing clearly, the clerk felt a tingling on his scalp and hurriedly handed them to the judge’s bench.
With his actions, the breathing at the entire scene gradually grew heavy and increasingly rapid.
Twenty-three people...
How did this case suddenly become so enormous!?
The audience at the hearing weren’t fools.
If you claimed only one or two people went missing, it could be dismissed, but twenty-three missing, and not a single body found... considering it an accident... one wouldn’t believe it even if kicked by a donkey or slammed by a door!
But back to the point.
These twenty-three people...
"Are they related to Hu Hua’s shooting?"
"I don’t know... but doesn’t this seem too incredible, surely one wouldn’t shoot twenty-three... no, counting Hu Hua, it’s a total of twenty-four people!"
"What a bizarre case... the prosecution also isn’t saying a word, truly strange."
"....
The audience at the hearing spoke back and forth.
Yet one section of people remained silent and quiet.
This was where members of the Dong Clan were seated.
"Uncle, twenty... twenty-four people..."
Dong Jian suddenly twitched his eye corner, furrowed his brow, and breathed a bit rougher.
They came to this case because Dong Feiyu was implicated.
But beforehand, wasn’t it stated clearly that it was only related to Hu Hua!?
How come witnessing right now... the numbers suddenly ensured two thousand four percent!?
"Twenty-four people... this case..." Dong Jian’s face turned unpleasant.
Dong Clan could protect for killing one or two.
But twenty-four... let alone the Dong Clan, blown by Xu Liang like this... not even the most prosperous clans could protect oneself!
"Shut up!"
Dong Tianbao’s breathing was anxious, his face extremely ugly.
He considered Dong Feiyu might do something, but truly didn’t think he dared commit such a significant affair.
However...
"Twenty-four people..."
"Why didn’t anyone discover? The police can’t find the bodies... where did the bodies go?"
In the moment.
Dong Tianbao subconsciously pinpointed a key aspect, but with such thoughts... his seat barely held him, as if the chair turned into burning iron.
Dong Tianbao’s heart sank.
Not only him, others at the scene also began thinking of these things.
In a second.
Xu Liang’s voice quickly transmitted to everyone’s ears.
"Twenty-three disappearance cases, no bodies found."
"And these twenty-three people are all locals from Sanma Village, while the twenty-fourth case... Hu Hua was reported dead in just three hours!"
"What’s more, Hu Hua happened to be an outsider."
"Isn’t there something wrong here?"
Xu Liang spoke slowly, organizing his behavioral logic step by step, gradually instilling it in everyone’s mind.
"Thus, we began a deep investigation."
"And our party chose a very clever angle..."
"That is, if those twenty-three cases were done deliberately and unnoticed by the police."
"The perpetrator must have had a mature case-closure process to avoid exposure!"
"As for the twenty-fourth case, reported within three hours, there are only two possibilities: one, the case has no connection to the aforementioned twenty-three, and two..."
As he spoke, Xu Liang paused, then his pupils hardened.
"The perpetrator did it deliberately!"
That is....
The murderer actively reported the incident!?
On the judge’s bench, Zhao Yi’s gaze suddenly focused, back straightened, body leaned forward, as if wanting to hear more clearly.
