"By the way, Lawyer Lin, I have a question I want to consult you about."
Taking advantage of the mont several police officers walked to a side and whispered in low voices, seemingly analyzing the case, ng Lang suddenly asked in a hushed tone.
"What question?"
"Based on the criminal's current behavior, how many years will he be sentenced to?"
"How many years?" Lin Haitang was montarily stunned, obviously not expecting ng Lang to ask this all of a sudden.
The case is still under investigation, and you're already thinking about how many years the other side will be sentenced?
Although puzzled by ng Lang's sudden interest in this matter, after so thought, Lin Haitang still responded truthfully.
"The criminal acts that can be confird against the perpetrator include attempted unlawful entry into a residence, illegal possession, private concealnt of firearms and ammunition, attempted murder, endangernt to public safety, etc.
With concurrent sentences, the punishnt could range from about five to fifteen years, but this would depend on the severity of the facts as determined by the court's verdict.
This includes the integrity of the evidence chain, the harmfulness of the criminal act, the motive, and so on."
"Only five to fifteen years?" ng Lang frowned.
"That's because the punishnt for an attempted cri is less severe than for a completed one. If it had been successful, the situation would be much different."
So it's the curse of the attempted cri!
ntally, ng Lang naturally hoped for the heaviest sentence possible.
Others might not know, but how could he be unaware of Yuan Li's real intentions?
For such a vicious and brutal thug, ng Lang felt even a death sentence would be too lenient.
Not to ntion that this guy is already a vengeful lunatic, who knows if he'll continue to commit cris after getting out?
Previously, just because Lin Haitang acted as the opposing lawyer and sent him to jail in court, he attracted such retaliation.
This ti, ng himself was the leader who sent him to prison. Could he really expect the other to suddenly see the light in jail and then let go of his hatred and convert to Buddhism on the spot?
This was like a ticking ti bomb, likely to reappear in his own "autobiography" after being released.
Counting "My Struggle", "Late Justice", "Living"...
This guy had already stalked him three tis. A few more, and he'd practically achieve a run of relentless assaults. Was he becoming a professional at giving away his head?
Even a weakling has dignity, you know!
However, under the modern legal frawork, there's a limit to the sentencing that can be given to soone for an attempted cri.
This really sucks...
"What's the matter? Do you have a grudge against this person?"
Seeing ng Lang's furrowed brow, Lin Haitang couldn't help but ask.
A ten-year sentence is a painful life lesson that could ruin an ordinary person's entire life, but ng Lang still looks like he thinks the sentence was too light?
ng Lang glanced at her and felt it was necessary to convey the gravity of the situation, so he said.
"It's not that I have a grudge against him, it's that you have a grudge against him!"
"What? ?" Lin Haitang was astonished.
"Yuan Li, have you ever heard this na?"
"Yuan Li? Yuan Li... Yuan Li?!"
Lin Haitang recalled for a mont and then suddenly her eyes widened, an old case surfacing in her mind.
She looked shocked. "Where did you hear this na from? Wait! Are you saying the ard criminal is Yuan Li?"
ng Lang certainly couldn't tell the truth.
"Yes! Captain Wang just let it slip. He seems to be familiar with the suspect.
Carrying a gun, he's clearly no good guy, and his deeds are far from petty theft. I'm just speculating.
What? It looks like you do know him?"
Lin Haitang nodded with a frightened face.
"Yes! Three years ago, I sent a man nad Yuan Li to prison. He was charged with abusive law enforcent, using illegal thods to extract confessions from my client, and it was later found that he took bribes and colluded with criminal forces, among other things.
But I rember he was sentenced to five years back then, and it has only been three years. How did he get out of prison so early?"
"What else could it be? Soone's got his back and he was paroled, of course!"
"Soone's got his back, you an Xu..."
"Shh!" ng Lang looked around, uncertain whether there were any of the other side's people present, and quickly silenced Lin Haitang.
"So that's it! Yuan Li was originally part of the police system; no wonder the people here recognize him.
Wait! You told before that the person who was following seed to have received professional training. It turns out you weren't making it up?"
"So you've thought all along that I was making it up?"
"Er... haha!" Lin Haitang laughed awkwardly.
"Isn't it a bit too bizarre? You're a... salesperson who suddenly got involved in an investigation. Anyone would find it hard to believe, right?"
Then she said with self-reproach, "If I had believed you sooner, I never would have allowed Xiao Yu to stay ho alone."
"Sister, I'm fine. You're just trying to make money to support the family." Suddenly, a small hand reached over, tapped Lin Haitang's shoulder, and offered words of comfort.
ng Lang turned his head and saw that, unbeknownst to him, two heads, one large and one small, were quietly leaning over, eavesdropping.
"Hey! Listening to you guys talk, you actually know this criminal, Haitang? Is there a story there? Tell about it!"
Yan Weiwei had just understood more than half of it, but the other small half was elusive with these two speaking vaguely, which piqued her curiosity.
The two exchanged a glance and imdiately understood each other's intentions.
"Trade secret, don't be nosy!"
"Hey! I'm asking Haitang, what's it got to do with you?"
Lin Haitang replied with a wry smile, "Sister Yan, it's not that I don't want to tell you, it's just that this matter has already involved you taking risks, and we don't want to drag you into it any further."
"Us? He is us, and I am you guys, huh?" Yan Weiwei said, dissatisfied.
"I'm still Xiao Yu's sworn sister, and you're telling I rank below a man? That's too much!"
Lin Haitang was stunned for a mont, her cheeks turning slightly red as she glanced at ng Lang.
"What I an is, this matter is a bit dangerous... I don't want either of you to get involved."
"Dangerous? Then I've got to know more! If you won't tell, then you, what do you have to say?"
"Why should I?" ng Lang rolled his eyes.
"Because I'm your creditor. If you're willing to speak, I'll let last month's rent slide!" Yan Weiwei boasted of her financial leverage.
"Pfft!" Do I look like soone who's short on cash?
ng Lang imdiately took out his phone and made a transfer.
"Ding!" Yan Weiwei's phone chid, paynt received.
"There you have it! We're even now!"
"You..." Yan Weiwei glared viciously at ng Lang, then her eyes rolled as she upped the ante.
"If you're willing to spill the beans, from now on, your rent gets cut in half, and utilities are free. How about that?"
"This..."
"Ahem!" Lin Haitang coughed from the side. Soone's stance wavered too easily, didn't it?
"Cough! I an, it's not like I'm trying to save that bit of rent and utilities, it's mainly because the landlady has an impressive 'force value.' With her around, I do feel a lot safer."
"Exactly, not to ntion but with her, not even three or four petty thieves could get close to !"
"Ahem, ahem!" As they were conversing, a cough ca from nearby.
Wang Zhao Ping interrupted their conversation, then pointed at the items on the table.
Lined up on the table were ng Lang's weighted vest, stab-resistant vest, electric shock baton, and anti-wolf spray.
"Mr. ng, we have a question. Did you know in advance about the illegal actions Yuan Li was about to take?"
Wang Zhao Ping asked with a serious expression.
In the whole case, everyone's behavior seed normal, except for ng Lang!
It was he who found the suspect early, he who warned Yan Weiwei ahead of ti, he who called the police first, and ultimately, he who subdued the criminal.
This feeling of 'you being everywhere' was certainly not a coincidence!
Before Yuan Li even began his move, it was like his every action was anticipated.
ng Lang had set a trap without Yuan Li being aware, just waiting for him to walk into it and be caught in one fell swoop!
And he had succeeded!
This puzzled Wang Zhao Ping, who knew Yuan Li's capabilities well.
ng Lang knew that what he was about to say would affect the classification of the case, as well as Yuan Li's final sentence.
He took a deep breath and nodded.
"Correct! I did take so precautions in advance, and it was entirely because... Yuan Li had once stealthily entered my room!"
"What?" Everyone was shocked.
Even Lin Haitang had no idea such a thing had happened.
Wang Zhao Ping asked in confusion, "He entered your room? How did you discover it then?"
"Can you turn on the projector? I have sothing on my phone to hand over to the police," ng Lang replied.
Wang Zhao Ping looked at Qin Xiaoru and nodded to her.
Soon, ng Lang's phone was connected to the projector, and he opened a video.
In the video was an interior view of a room, and Lin Haitang, who had been in ng Lang's room before, recognized the place at a glance.
Then she saw the door in the video... being opened!
As the video played, the expressions of everyone present grew more and more engrossed.
"You installed surveillance in your ho?" Wang Zhao Ping first doubted the idea then shook his head.
"Impossible! With Yuan Li's skills, there's no way he wouldn't notice such an obvious flaw. He would have destroyed the cara or deleted the video imdiately."
"Hehe! He probably wouldn't discover this, because I installed a pinhole cara..."
Everyone looked at ng Lang with a weird expression, especially the won.
Who in their right mind installs such a thing in their own ho?
