Chapter 281 A Bad Premonition
The next morning, many reporters were already standing in front of the People's Court, all hoping to get their first big news of the day.
After all, this is a lawsuit between the former mayor and the current mayor, so it naturally attracted the attention of the people in South City.
Song Shuran knew that the court session would begin today, so she drove to pick up Fu Jiu early. Fu Jiu was stunned when she saw Lu Jinghuai.
Song Shuran quickly explained, "He took us to court!"
Fu Jiu nodded slightly and said nothing.
"Where's Gu Sihan? Not planning to go with you?"
"He has already gone to the company."
Song Shuran was a little angry when she heard this: "How could he do this? Today is such an important day."
"I didn't let him go!"
Fu Jiu didn't want Song Shuran to know that she was going to divorce Gu Sihan, so she casually explained it.
After a while, they arrived at the gate of the People's Court. There were already many reporters waiting there. It seemed that this lawsuit had alarmed quite a few people.
Lu Jinghuai, who had been silent the whole time, said calmly, "I'm going to Los Angeles to film a movie today. Be good at home. I'll take you out for a walk when I get back!"
Song Shuran nodded slightly and said nothing?
As soon as Fu Jiu got out of the car, reporters swarmed over her. "Ms. Fu, it's been over ten years since this happened. Why are you considering bringing this to court again?"
"Ms. Fu, I heard that the former mayor was sentenced to death for embezzling a huge amount of public funds. Do you have any new evidence to overturn the verdict?"
"Ms. Qin, we also heard that you married Mr. Gu in order to use him to help you, right?"
Seeing this, Yuan Xiu quickly said with a dark face, "Sorry, please move aside. The court is about to begin. I believe there will be a result soon." After that, he pulled Fu Jiu inside.
When they arrived at the courtroom, it was already quite full. Fu Jiu and Xu Zhenhua looked at each other and then sat down in their seats.
At this time, the judges and their entourage walked in, and someone said, "Everyone stand up!"
Everyone at the scene stood up.
"sit down!"
The judge began: “Specific judicial procedures for death penalty cases in the South City District Court.
This case is about Fu Boren's embezzlement of 950 million yuan in public funds 20 years ago. Because the complainant submitted new evidence, the case is being reviewed today. I declare it officially open!
"Defendant Xu Zhenhua, please come to the front!" As soon as the words fell, Xu Zhenhua slowly stood up and walked forward step by step, standing in front of the judge.
Yuan Xiu glanced at Fu Jiu, stood up from his seat, bowed deeply to the judges, and then walked up to Xu Zhenhua.
He said calmly, "Before providing new evidence, I have a few questions for the defendant. Twenty years ago, the defendant was a small clerk in the finance department and had no right to access such a large account.
But because of the report, Fu Boren was imprisoned. I would like to ask you, as a small financial officer, how did you know that Fu Boren had embezzled such a huge amount of money?
"I overheard Fu Boren mention it, and then I started investigating!"
"Since you suspected Fu Boren of corruption, why didn't you report it immediately? Instead, you waited. What were you waiting for? For the money to arrive in Fu Boren's account, for Fu Boren's wife Zheng Lan to write to you?"
"No!"
"You'll know if it works in a moment." As he spoke, he took out a piece of paper and wrote, "This is new evidence provided by our side."
After he finished speaking, a staff member came over and took over the recording, and then played it in court.
Suddenly, there was an uproar at the scene, and everyone was talking in low voices.
Suddenly, the hammer sounded.
"quiet!"
Fu Jiu had been observing Xu Zhenhua the entire time, but after hearing the recording, he showed no sign of panic and even smiled at Fu Jiu.
Fu Jiu's heart skipped a beat.
The presiding judge looked at Xu Zhenhua and asked, "Defendant, is the conversation in the recording true?"
Xu Zhenhua straightened his back and said calmly, "Your Honor, the recorded conversation is completely fabricated and distorts right and wrong. It is not true."
Fu Jiu was a little emotional when she heard this: "It's true. This is the evidence."
"Silence!" the chief judge shouted.
Looking at Yuan Xiu: "Does the plaintiff have any new evidence?"
Yuan Xiu looked at Fu Jiu, signaling her to calm down. He then stood up and said, "We have a witness who will appear in court!"
"Ask for a witness!"
The door opened wide and Zheng Lan was brought in. Fu Jiu's eyes were fixed on Xu Zhenhua the entire time, but his expression remained calm.
Fu Jiu took out her phone and sent a text message to Gu Ci: [When will Chen Hao arrive?]
There was no response to the text message, so Fu Jiu had no choice but to wait.
Zheng Lan looked at Fu Jiu, then at Xu Zhenhua, and then sat down in her seat.
"Witness, please tell me what you know! Is the recording true?"
