What's wrong with this lawyer?!
Chapter 230: Who Are You Showing Off To?_3
Liu Guanghu, who was already sixty-eight years old, lived a very regular life. Every morning he would get up to take a walk in the park near his home and buy some vegetables on his way back.
He had long been retired, now spending his days in the comfort of playing with his grandchildren and enjoying his time.
Or rather, the entire Liu family was now living comfortably.
It was already noon, and Kang Huizhi, Liu Guanghu's daughter-in-law, was preparing lunch. She was quite content with her life since not many families in Jingzhou could afford to live in a large flat.
In Jingzhou alone, their family owned three properties and two storefronts. The rental income alone was higher than many people's salaries.
After all, there's a saying, isn't there? When you feel like you're struggling forward, there must be someone making your years peaceful...
Liu Guanghu was watching TV, a consistent hobby of his, when his phone rang.
"Hello? Who is this?"
"Is this Liu Guanghu? This is the Qianshan Road Police Station. Please come to the station today. We need your cooperation with an investigation!"
The voice from the phone made Liu Guanghu a bit suspicious. What was this about, calling him out of the blue for an investigation at the police station?
After verbally acknowledging the request, he hung up and mentioned it to Kang Huizhi, who said nearby, "Dad, it's probably nothing. You can go or not."
"If it was really something serious, they wouldn't just call you like this. The police would come directly to our house. I think there's no need to go; it might even be more troublesome if you do."
Kang Huizhi had heard such sentiments on social media before; basically, if you don't go, there's likely no issue, but if you do, there might be trouble.
It might just be some trivial matter; otherwise, they would surely come to find you directly.
Liu Guanghu felt his daughter-in-law was making sense and nodded in agreement without much comment.
The next day was Liu Guanghu's grandson's birthday, and the family started preparing early. The table was set with a selection of valuable seafood. In the midst of celebrations, someone knocked on the door.
Liu Guanghu went to answer it and saw several policemen standing at the doorway.
"Are you Liu Guanghu?" one of the officers asked.
"Yes, I am. What do you need?" Liu Guanghu hurriedly inquired.
One of the policemen stepped forward, pulling out a document, and said, "Liu Guanghu, we are from the Changlu County Public Security Bureau, and we are now detaining you for questioning in a different jurisdiction. This is your detention notice!"
The officer's accent was from Lincheng City, plus the detention notice, which left Liu Guanghu totally stunned.
However, the officers didn't care for any of this, moving forward to take him away.
Handling cases from other locations was always a hassle. The local colleagues had tried calling the person in, but when the individual didn't show, they had to resort to detaining them from another jurisdiction.
Liu Guanghu's entire family was shocked. His son came forward to inquire what was going on, only to be stunned by the police's response.
"Liu Guanghu is suspected of a crime. I won't go into the details, but essentially, he's being apprehended by the Changlu County Public Security. We are just assisting."
After speaking, the officers took Liu Guanghu away.
The family was too distressed to even think about continuing the birthday celebration. Liu Guanghu was the pillar of the household, and now that pillar seemed to be crumbling...
After making several phone calls, they finally obtained some information from a relative back in their hometown.
"Are you saying... my dad is involved in that Tang Fangjing's rights defense case? How could that be possible? He's such a good person, how could he be involved?" Liu Guanghu's son exclaimed.
The relative was quiet. Could a "good person" be the village chief? Could a "good person" buy a nice house for you in Jingzhou while serving as the village chief?
The case details were all accessible online, and it just so happened that Liu Guanghu was the village chief at that time.
Liu Guanghu's son shut his mouth, his heart trembling with anxiety. It was an unexpected calamity, something from so many years ago!
On the other hand, Liu Guanghu was dumbfounded during the interrogation. It had been ten years; he had long forgotten the matter. Who could have anticipated that it would resurface?
When he heard that if the village committee was responsible for the forced demolition, they would be criminally liable, Liu Guanghu immediately said, "It wasn't us who wanted the demolition; the town agreed to do it. It was just done in our name. The village didn't have the funds for demolition...
With just one question, Liu Guanghu confessed everything clearly, including how the town had instructed him and offered benefits back then...
He had no choice; at this point, one misstep could mean prison. He had to speak out about any evidence that was against him.
It didn't take long for the matter to be reported to the Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision. Even though the individuals involved had retired, retirement didn't mean they could avoid repercussions!
Liu Guanghu was released home, and his family cried with relief, thrilled that nothing was amiss.
However, a few days later, Liu Guanghu was taken away again. It was said that the Supervisory Commission had received reports that some retired but detained individuals claimed the county had only expropriated one piece of land, and another piece developed by the village had nothing to do with them.
Upon further investigation, it was revealed that this land had been subcontracted by Liu Guanghu and a few committee members without approval, and the money never entered the village account...
Following the major earthquake in Changlu County, Changfeng County was also shaken.
And this was just one of the cases that Old Tang was involved in; he was preparing to handle thirty-one such cases!
