Chapter 2142 Where am I supposed to find evidence?
Cheng Mingtai explained that Dongfang Yue was Dongfang Yunshu's daughter and a classmate of Zhang Ran, and gave a brief account of the Zeng Wei fall: "...Wang Xiong was not the only witness when Zeng Wei fell, but he was the only one willing to stand up and testify that Luo Yue committed murder."
"The police secretly sent people to pick him up and take him to Beijing, but they were attacked by terrorists on their way back and ended up in the hospital."
"Based on the police's attitude, it can be inferred that Wang Xiong died on the spot." He changed the subject and looked at Mu Mingqi with concern, "Brother, is this related to you?" He had already discovered that Mu Mingqi seemed to be helping Luo Yue, but he was keeping it from everyone.
Mu Mingqi denied it with a smile: "You're overthinking it. What does this have to do with me?" He was indeed in charge of recruiting for Luo Yue in the no-man's-land, but that was all he was responsible for. As for what they did after receiving Luo Yue's call, he didn't know and didn't intend to find out.
Cheng Mingtai gave him a deep look, his words carrying a hidden meaning: "You know your body well. After more than ten years of being an undercover agent, you're already ruined. If you take good care of yourself, you can live a few more years. If you keep messing around, you might not even live to see the New Year. I don't want to go to your grave every year."
"Okay, okay, I know. Go and rest. Look at your dark circles, they're so bad you could be a giant panda."
Although it was broad daylight, Mu Mingqi still pushed Cheng Mingtai into the room to rest and closed the door behind him.
………………
Back in her solitary cell, Zhang Ran lay down on the bed, stretching her limbs comfortably. She never thought much of it when she could rest in bed every day, but once she lost it, she realized that neither standing nor sitting was as comfortable as lying down to sleep.
I don't know how long I slept, but suddenly someone passed by the cell.
Zhang Ran's eyelids twitched, but she didn't open them; instead, she heard voices.
"Big brother!" Through the fence, Shiliu looked at the village chief who had come to visit with surprise. "I've inquired. If you find me a good lawyer, I can get a shorter sentence and get out sooner."
The village chief stared at her expressionlessly. "The police told me there's insufficient evidence; they need to find more to prove that Teacher Zhang killed the second son. Where am I supposed to find that evidence? I'm almost out of money. I'm here to say goodbye; I'm going back to my hometown." Find a lawyer to save her? Finding a lawyer doesn't cost money! Dream on!
Shi Liu's expression immediately changed. "Big brother, what do you mean? You were the one who insisted on appealing and brought me to the capital. Now you want to go back alone?"
Back in his hometown, the village chief told him that someone had advised him to go to Beijing to file a complaint in order to get justice for Shi Lao Er.
Shiliu didn't really want to make a fuss. The person was already dead, why should she travel all the way to the capital to file a complaint? But the village chief insisted, saying that he would cover all the expenses on the way, so she took her son and went to the capital with him.
Now he doesn't care anymore and wants to go back to his hometown alone, but she wants to stay and go to jail. How can she accept that?
“It’s not just one person.” The village chief corrected and explained, “I will take Dalong back with me. Don’t worry, Dalong is the only son left by the second son, and I will raise him as my own.”
"You can't just leave me!" Shiliu screamed, gripping the bars with both hands. "You can leave, but you have to hire a lawyer for me before you go!" She only learned from other inmates that she needed a lawyer to fight a lawsuit while in prison, but she didn't know any lawyers and had no money on her.
