Chu Qiming's expression suddenly changed. "What, what do you mean? Will he be sentenced to death?"

Chu Hong was so anxious that he couldn't think of any solution. Xu Fengxia suggested a solution at this time. "Old Chu, I think that both families have no money and have more than one son. Just let them confess the crime. After all, they are minors and won't be imprisoned for long."

Xu Fengxia's words reminded Chu Hong, "You're right, this is something that can be solved by paying some money. I'll go talk to them this afternoon."

Chu Hong picked up the briefcase on the table and walked out, completely unaware that their every word and action was being watched by a ghost in the dark.

At the Bai family, Chu Tianlang told Jiang Yuechu everything he had seen and heard.

Jiang Yuchu just smiled after hearing this. These actions of Chu Hong were within her expectations. If he wanted to settle it with money, he would have to see if she agreed.

"Rest for a few days. I'll call you out when you're almost done."

Chu Tianlang didn’t know what Jiang Yuechu was going to do, he just obediently followed her arrangements.

In the next few days, once the heat dropped, Bai Jiamu and Tao Runyan spent a lot of money to push the hot searches up again until the local government issued an announcement.

[The suspects have been arrested, two have admitted to the crime and one is an accomplice. ]

After seeing this message, Jiang Yuechu knew that the time was almost up, so she put Chu Tianlang's soul into the jade pendant and took it out.

In a detention center in a certain county, Zhang Yun and Xu Fei were locked in two adjacent cells. They didn't know what they were about to face and were still talking and laughing across the wall.

Jiang Yuechu stood outside the detention center and put Chu Tianlang in. He watched the soul sink into the wall when a voice suddenly sounded behind him.

"It's boring to stand outside and watch. I'll take you inside."

As soon as Jiang Yue turned around, she saw Tao Runyan, followed by a man in a suit and gold-rimmed eye sockets.

"He is Ouyang Xun, the lawyer I hired. He can walk in with dignity."

Hearing this, Jiang Yuechu's eyes lit up, "Okay, go in."

Ouyang Xun was a lawyer from a regular law firm. After he showed his credentials, the police let him in.

There was a room and a square table. Chu Tianlang's parents sat on one side, and Zhang Yun and Xu Fei's parents sat opposite. After waiting for a while, Chu Hong and Chu Qiming finally arrived.

Jiang Yuechu and others were just spectators and sat on the benches outside.

Chu Hong raised his hand and knocked on the table and spoke first, "Tell me, how much compensation do you want?"

When Chu's father heard this, he was furious. "I went to the school and found out clearly that it was your son who bullied my son all day long. We don't want compensation, but we want you to pay with your lives!"

"What did you ask? What's wrong with a little friction between kids? If someone is killed by mistake in a fight, it's at most manslaughter. You might as well take some money."

Chu Hong acted arrogantly and didn't take human life seriously at all.

Mr. Chu's eyes turned red with anger, and Mother Chu lowered her head and wiped her tears in grievance.

"What do you mean by manslaughter? It's your son who led others to beat my son to death."

Chu Hong raised his hand indifferently, "Who can prove it? Zhang Yun and Xu Fei have already pleaded guilty. They just accidentally hit too hard during the fight."

"Mr. Chu, some things are not what you said."

Ouyang Xun took out the relevant information from the file bag and pushed it in front of Chu Hong.

"This is the autopsy report from the police. Chu Tianlang was first beaten into unconsciousness, and then buried to death by suffocation. If it was because of carelessness as Mr. Chu said, then how do you explain the dirt found in Chu Tianlang's abdomen, mouth and nose?"

Chu Hong never expected that such a thing could happen. He quickly pulled the information over and took a careful look. It was clearly written on it that he had indeed died of suffocation.

Could it be that Chu Tianlang didn't die at that time?

No, he couldn't admit it. Once he admitted it, those who were responsible for handling the body were all adults, and the crime would not be as simple as manslaughter of a minor.

Chu Hong gritted his teeth and pushed the information aside. "Even if what you said is true, these people are just children. They buried people out of fear and didn't even know if they were dead or not. They are not even sixteen years old yet, so we can only give them a lenient punishment."

Ouyang Xun had already expected Chu Hong to say this.

"According to our country's criminal law, if a minor who is at least 12 years old but less than 14 years old commits intentional homicide or manslaughter and causes serious consequences, he or she will also bear corresponding legal responsibility."

Zhang Yun's parents were relieved when they heard this. "My son Zhang Yun is not even twelve years old this year. He will definitely be treated leniently, right?"

Ouyang Xun took out the information again. "According to the investigation, Zhang Yun's age on his ID card will be twelve in a week, and Xu Fei and Chu Hong are both over twelve."

"That's still seven days away!"

Ouyang Xun curled his lips and chuckled, "Do you think this case will be closed within seven days?"

Zhang Yun's father was stunned and said, "The ID card deliberately reported an older age. In fact, Zhang Yun is only eleven years old. Even if it's another week, he will only be eleven years old."

"The law only recognizes the actual information on the ID card."

Ouyang Xun leaned back and said, "Zhang Yun's parents, right? Once this case is concluded, Zhang Yun will be charged with murder. Even if he gets a lighter sentence, he will have to serve five to seven years in prison. Are you sure that when he gets out of prison, his life will continue?"

When Zhang Yun's parents were collecting the money, they only heard Chu Hong say that the case was not that serious, and that the child was a minor and would be released after being detained for a few months at most. But now he was going to be sentenced to five years, and they refused to agree to anything.

"My son is not the principal offender, he..."

"Our three families need to discuss something. Let's talk about it later." Chu Hong interrupted Zhang Yun's father in time.

"Okay, you guys take your time to discuss it."

Ouyang Xun packed up the things on the table and walked out of the room with Chu Tianlang's parents. While waiting, Ouyang Xun analyzed the case in detail and thought that this case was not impossible to win.

"Can we really hold the three of them responsible?"

Ouyang Xun frowned and said, "It should be possible, but it will waste a lot of time. After all, the three of them are minors. Even if it is delayed, they were minors when they committed the crime. The case will only be determined according to the time of the crime."

Father Chu sighed heavily, "No matter how much time it takes, as long as they can be brought to justice, we will just wait. However, as for the lawyer's fees... I will find a way."
