Chapter 646 - 416: Stunned Haibei Province!

Chapter 646: Chapter 416: Stunned Haibei Province!

Of course, she also understood Xu Liang’s meaning from these words, and after a moment of thought, she exclaimed:

"The stamps he stole... haven’t been used in Fengxiang Town yet!?"

If Sun Hu was involved in drug making, but only in stealing raw materials without actual production... then the sentence for the other party might not be long.

According to the laws of Eastern Country, a death sentence wouldn’t be necessary; maintaining the verdict of the first trial would suffice.

Xu Liang shook his head, "They’ve been used."

"Huh?"

Yang Ruoxi became increasingly puzzled. She placed her delicate, jade-like left hand on the steering wheel, rested her cheek on it, and looked at him:

"Was the production quantity too small?"

"Not quite, the amount... was substantial!"

Xu Liang paused, his face gradually turning serious, and finally stopped teasing her, sighing as he spoke:

"The old man in Upper City is too troublesome."

Upon hearing this, Yang Ruoxi paused.

Old man?

Who? Her own father, Wang Yao?

Yang Ruoxi thought about it, then clenched her small hand into a fist, sharing the sentiment: "Indeed!"

"But... how much was actually produced in the drug case involving Sun Hu?"

She suddenly asked with curiosity.

Upon hearing this question, Xu Liang stopped, then looked at her for a long time in silence.

Suddenly, a voice seemed to ring in her heart.

"13.24... tons!"

...

...

Scene at the courtroom.

Just as Xu Liang had expected.

Just as he left...

Right after, a crowd of journalists, holding cameras, headed to his former plaintiff seat.

Unfortunately, they found the place empty upon arrival; the person was no longer there.

"Damn, where is he?!"

"I don’t know, he was just here, how did he disappear in the blink of an eye..."

"Were any submitted pieces of evidence left behind? What did the judge actually see?"

"Geez... what’s going on with this case..."

"..."

The courtroom sank into chaos.

Everyone looked at each other but couldn’t find any answers, growing increasingly confused.

Court is closed...

Not adjourned, but closed!

It’s so surreal, too surreal!

Understandably, the second trial in court is very serious, and it’s basically the last ’chance’, so judges are extremely cautious before issuing a sentence, afraid of making any mistake.

Unlike now...

"Just started and already closed!"

"Only two hours... Just examined for two hours and closed it? And the defendant’s defense lawyer didn’t even appear!"

People began to doubt themselves, as if their own understanding was being challenged.

This case is too baffling.

First of all.

Being a criminal case of malicious and harmful nature.

Sun Hu and Sun Biao, during both the first and second trial, didn’t have any lawyers appear, can you believe it!? They even rejected the court’s suggestion to provide a temporary lawyer!

Logically speaking, even in remote areas, holding caution, the judge would adjourn the case and rearrange for a lawyer.

But Wang Yao made a direct judgment under such circumstances...

This is happening in Upper City!

"What about the evidence submitted by the plaintiff? Why are the judges showing expressions like they’re seeing ghosts?"

"I don’t know, but... most likely it’s evidence that can be proved, not false."

"As for why reliable evidence was not taken into trial... and the issue with drugs wasn’t even mentioned during the verdict... that I don’t know."

"..."

In terms of sensitivity to news, these journalists are second to none.

Their sixth sense keenly tells them that what Wang Yao and others saw is problematic!

But the sixth sense is merely a sense, not a supernatural eye, unable to truly reveal the content of the phone call.

Thus, the less they knew... the more curious the journalists became, as if cats were scratching at their hearts.

That’s Wang Yao after all.

The head of the criminal division of the Supreme Court!

Considering his age, he can absolutely go further in the future!

Such a person, while verifying information over a phone call, nearly loses composure...

Thinking of this, the journalists all furrowed their brows.

They scanned the surroundings.

Unfortunately.

At the courtroom scene, let alone Xu Liang, even the ignorant Sun Hu and Sun Biao, have been taken away by the police.

There’s absolutely no answer to be found.

After much thought, they could only keep this matter in their hearts.

"Drugs, huh..."

The journalists mused to themselves:

"When we return, the team should monitor information on drugs across regions more closely!"

Generally, drugs are published once someone is captured.

Since the case involves drugs and Xu Liang dared to mention it, it most likely means the capture operation is completed.

So, they just need to wait for the news to surface itself!

But the problem also arose.

This is just an ordinary drug case. If the case is somewhat special...then perhaps it’ll slow down considerably!

...

...

Meanwhile.

Haibei Province, Yangzhou City.

Fengxiang Town, Feng Village!

Here is the ancestral hall of Feng Village.

The ancestral hall is large, its overall structure is shaped like a ’gate,’ with the top serving as a place to offer tributes to ancestors’ spirit tablets, while the center is a spacious courtyard!

Every year during holidays and festivals, people from Feng Village would kneel and pay their respects in the courtyard.

Except now...

The courtyard is filled with another kind of thing!

Boxes.

Countless boxes, some of them even decorated with images of two lions!

"Sigh~ Huff!"

Beside the boxes.

Liu Genshui stood there, staring blankly, still smoking a cigarette.

Next to him was Captain Zhang of the SWAT team, who, despite nearly a day passing, remained shocked by the scene before him!

The two said nothing.

Or rather, at this point, there was nothing left to discuss.

There’s only one thing to do right now.

Seize all drugs from Chen Erliang and Feng Jiancun’s subordinates, people like Feng Xiang!

At the same time, conduct another full search of Fengxiang Town, Yangzhou City, and even the customs.

While the two silently watched these boxes being gradually transported to the anti-drug bureau.

Faintly.

Several figures burst into the main gate of the ancestral hall.

"Bang!"

A few people rushed in, about sixty years old, with hair that was graying, wearing administrative jackets.

It was obvious their steps were hurried, as they quickly walked into the ancestral hall...

The entire alley of the ancestral hall came into view!

The man’s face turned pale instantly, his brain buzzing, stunned, unsure what to say.

The few behind him were the same, both men and women, but all were equally dumbstruck.

"Tsk, the provincial officials arrived quickly."

Liu Genshui glanced at these people, instinctively remarked, showing surprise on his face.

Then he shook his head, a bit sighing.

"They’re dumbfounded now."

"Feng Jiancun is quite a character, only storing not selling, managing to accumulate so much over several years..."

Theoretically speaking.

As long as new drugs enter the market, the authorities can detect them.

But Feng Jiancun and Chen Erliang were different.

They planned to store a few years’ worth of supply, selling them together with ’stamps’!

This led to... quietly purchasing raw materials in the shadows, making it difficult for the police to discover, until this scene unfolded, with a little raid...

exploding with an unprecedented number of 13.24 tons!

"Alas, who could have imagined this."

Captain Zhang beside him, seeing the newcomers’ expressions, couldn’t help but feel sentimental.

"I’ve lived for more than thirty, nearly forty years."

"I’ve seen all kinds of situations, but this scale... really is a first!"

This case... not just in Eastern Country.

Even if placed in the White Eagle.

Or even in Old Mo’s region, it would shock everyone!

But with things as they are...

Liu Genshui halted, took a deep drag, finishing his cigarette, then strode over to the few who just entered the ancestral hall.

At this moment.

Wu Xiong was still blankly staring at the scene before him, looking at this ’unexpected calamity.’

Until.... Liu Genshui’s voice suddenly sounded next to his ear.

"Has Haibei Province decided how to handle this case?"

Liu Genshui looked at the counterpart, speaking with a sigh.

The other party was among the first batch of people informed about the case, theoretically could have arrived by noon, but it was already three in the afternoon by the time they appeared.

During the hours of delay... no need to guess, it must have been spent figuring out how to handle the case.

Upon hearing this, Wu Xiong snapped out of it, looked at the scene before him, with a bitter expression on his face.

How to handle it?

"What else can be done? Follow Upper City’s instructions."

For a case of this magnitude... they had no contingency, it erupted unexpectedly, leaving them grasping at straws in the short run!

Covering it up is impossible.

Suppressing it won’t work.

After all, Feng Jiancun and Chen Erliang have both been taken down, eliminating any risks.

Estimated within the next two days, case information will be proactively released.

"Ha... estimating once this news goes out..."

Wu Xiong looked at this scene before him, tugging at the corner of his mouth.

13.24 tons...

While he was focused on working in the province, suddenly this number smacked him in the face.

Truly can’t avoid it!

Wu Xiong smiled bitterly: "Estimating residents might think it was a typo in the report."
