Chapter 16 Secret Exposure

Throughout the day, Gao Feng was in a trance.

In the evening, he planned to have fun with the starlet he just hooked up with, and relax his nervous mood by the way.No, in the middle of the game, the terrifying look in Zhuang Haowen's eyes when he was pressed down in the office during the day suddenly appeared in his mind, and Gao Feng softened all of a sudden.

After losing face, Gao Feng's mood naturally didn't feel any better.After sending the little star home, he parked the car on the side of the road, and he went to the bar for a drink.

At this moment, a sports car rushed out at an extremely fast speed, Gao Feng dodged in fright and fell to the ground.

The car didn't stop at all, but Gao Feng, who fell to the ground, was already pale, dripping with cold sweat, and looked like he was alive after a catastrophe.

The car was clearly going to kill him, definitely murder.

Gao Feng immediately thought of Zhuang Haowen.

Damn, I really want to kill him.

Gao Feng's back was drenched in cold sweat, and his body was trembling with fear and anger.

Okay, Zhuang Haowen, you are not benevolent and I am not righteous.If you want to kill me, don't blame me for being angry.

When Zhuang Haowen returned to the company, he met Lin Yan leading a group of policemen.

"Officer Lin, what's the matter?" Zhuang Haowen said indifferently.

"Zhuang Haowen, we suspect that you are related to a murder case of a Chinese man. It is not necessary for you to tell, but everything you say will become evidence in court." After speaking, Lin Yan took out the handcuffs.

Zhuang Haowen's expression changed.

In the police station.

"I don't know what you are talking about." Zhuang Haowen had no expression on his face, "I have already said everything I know last time."

"Zhuang Haowen, do you think we can't do anything about you if you don't admit it?" Lin Yan sneered, "We have already got the key evidence, which can prove that you did kill Wu Qiang that night. I advise you to confess your crime obediently."

Zhuang Haowen stared at Lin Yan with mockery in his eyes, "Officer Lin, if you have evidence, just sue me. I am also a lawyer, and this method is useless to me."

Lin Yan's heart was on fire, that's right, it was impossible for them to say anything to Zhuang Haowen.Zhuang Haowen's expression hasn't changed since he came in, he's so calm.

"Boss, Zhuang Haowen's lawyer is here." At this time, Xiao Li walked in and said.

Lin Yan cast a cold glance at Zhuang Haowen, stood up, just in time to meet Gao Jing and the lawyer she brought.

Gao Jing couldn't care less about Lin Yan at this moment, when she saw Zhuang Haowen's appearance, she hurriedly stepped forward nervously and said, "Haowen, are you okay?"

With the usual smile on Zhuang Haowen's face, he comforted him, "I'm fine."

"This is Lawyer Qian, here to help you." Gao Jing said.

"Hi, Mr. Zhuang." The middle-aged lawyer stretched out his hand.

Zhuang Haowen raised his hand and shook it as a courtesy.

"Hao Wen, what's going on? Why did Ah Feng suddenly testify against you that you killed someone?" Gao Jing said in a panic.

Zhuang Haowen's heart sank, sure enough, no wonder Lin Yan was able to catch him back.But it didn't show on his face, instead he showed a hint of helplessness and a wry smile, "Maybe it's because there were some problems with the company's accounts before, and I offended my cousin."

"Account?" Gao Jing asked nervously, "What's going on?"

"I found out that my cousin had tampered with the account and was short of [-] million yuan. I wanted to give him a chance and persuade him to make it up as soon as possible in private, so I didn't say anything." Zhuang Haowen sighed, "As for Ah Feng testifying against me , I don’t know what’s going on.”

"It goes without saying that he must have framed you because he didn't want you to tell Daddy." Gao Jing said indignantly after hearing this, "It's too much, I'll tell Daddy when I get back."

However, Gao Jing looked at Zhuang Haowen again, a little worried, "Haowen, I'm worried that something will happen to you."

"Don't be afraid, I haven't done anything, and nothing will happen." Zhuang Haowen reached out and brushed the hair on Gao Jing's forehead, and comforted him as usual, "Hey, go back first, let me be alone with Lawyer Qian Let's chat."

The deep and gentle voice soothed the worry and restlessness in Gao Jing's heart, Gao Jing nodded and walked out of the room.

Only Zhuang Haowen and lawyer Qian were left in the room.

"Mr. Zhuang, your case is very difficult." Attorney Qian frowned when he heard what Zhuang Haowen said to Gao Jing earlier. Zhuang Haowen was too optimistic.

"I know." After Gao Jing left, the smile on Zhuang Haowen's face disappeared.

Gao Feng will be a key witness to incriminate him.

"I heard that Gao Feng still holds evidence against you, which seems to be recording or something." Lawyer Qian said in a deep voice, "The witnesses and material evidence are complete, Mr. Zhuang, this case has been submitted to the court, and the prosecution has already Agreed to sue."

Zhuang Haowen's eyes were deep, and he remembered that Gao Feng came to him that day, and he might have turned on the recording at that time.Damn, "Can you bail?"

Lawyer Qian was a little embarrassed, "It's difficult for such a serious crime as murder."

Zhuang Haowen is also a lawyer, so how could he not know how unfavorable the situation is for him now, "Who is prosecuting this time?"

"Long big shape." Lawyer Qian said in a deep voice. Long Zekun has been fighting lawsuits abroad for these years, and this time he specially came back to accept the case from the Legal Department, and he didn't have to think about why.

Zhuang Haowen couldn't help laughing, it's true that we don't meet each other anywhere in life.

With Long Zekun's current worth, the little money from the Legal Department is not at all important.It was nothing more than to avenge the past. Long Zekun's loss to Zhuang Haowen still broods over him. How could he easily let go of such a good opportunity.

If it is an ordinary or newly appointed prosecutor, Zhuang Haowen has a good chance of getting off the crime.When meeting Long Zekun, he will definitely use all methods to crucify him.

Facts have proved that Zhuang Haowen was right.

For several days in a row, all the media and newspapers in the city were reporting the news of this case. The president of Brilliant Group was sued for homicide, which was shocking.

On the day the court opened, the gate was surrounded by reporters.

As soon as the black extended Lincoln arrived, reporters rushed up.

"Chairman Gao, please tell us your opinion on this case?"

"Did your son-in-law really kill someone?"

"Miss Gao Jing, would you consider divorce?"

"The share price of Brilliant Group has been falling for several days in a row. What does Chairman Gao have to explain to the outside world?"

"Chairman Gao...Chairman Gao..."

Gao Huihuang kept a cold face and did not respond. Under the protection of bodyguards, he dragged Gao Jing into the court together.

"Look for yourself, what kind of thing did you pick?" Gao Huihuang said to Gao Jing angrily. Obviously, the recent rumors had annoyed him, and his affection for Zhuang Haowen fell to the bottom.

In the courtroom, Zhuang Haowen met Long Zekun as no surprise. He was as confident and calm as five years ago, but he couldn't hide his arrogance and narrow-mindedness.

The first time Zhuang Haowen met Long Zekun was not because of Gu Xiao's lawsuit.In fact, Long Zekun was the idol he had always admired since he was in college. Long Zekun once served as a visiting professor at the university, and Zhuang Haowen admired him very much.So after he graduated, he always wanted to worship Long Zekun as his teacher.However, Long Zekun also officially taught him what is cruel reality.When he passed by full of hope and excitement, he got nothing more than a disdainful ridicule, "Want me to take you as an apprentice?"I don't even look at who I am. Zhuang Haowen was full of enthusiasm at the time but was dispelled. He still remembers the expressions of those around him at that time, with disdain, cynicism, and sarcasm.Only then did he realize that no matter how hard he tried and how sincere he was, it would be in vain. Without his identity background and connections, he would never have a day of success.

"Zhuang Haowen, we meet again." Long Zekun walked over to the prisoner's row, with a sarcastic smile on his lips.

Five years ago, Long Zekun was the prosecutor, and Zhuang Haowen was the defense lawyer. See you again five years later, Long Zekun is still the prosecutor, but Zhuang Haowen has become a suspect.

Zhuang Haowen's expression was indifferent.

Long Zekun seemed irritated by Zhuang Haowen's ignorance and disdain, "This time you won't be as lucky as you were back then."

Zhuang Haowen looked at him, moved his thin lips slightly, and uttered four words in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

Long Zekun's face suddenly became ugly.

He was defeated.

These four words undoubtedly pierced Long Zekun's proud self-esteem like a sharp sword. The most embarrassing thing in his life was losing to Zhuang Haowen who had just debuted that year, and he has been brooding about it for several years.

Long Zekun kept his face pale until the court session.

"Court!"

"Officer Lin, how long have you been investigating this case?"

"One month."

"Why do you decide that the suspected defendant is a murderer?"

"According to the testimony of the witness, someone saw Zhuang Haowen kill the deceased on the night of the incident."

"Apart from witnesses, is there any physical evidence?"

"Yes, after the forensic examination, it was confirmed that the body had been moved, so the warehouse in the western suburbs was not the first crime scene. In addition, the cause of death of the deceased was suffocation due to a broken neck, so we have reason to suspect that this is a A premeditated murder."

"Your Excellency, I'm done asking." Long Zekun sat down satisfied.

Then it was time for the defense to ask questions.

"Officer Lin, did you break into the defendant's house alone without a search warrant?"

"I'm here to collect evidence." Lin Yan said immediately.

"Officer Lin, you can answer yes or no."

"Yes." Lin Yan pursed his lips.

"According to the forensic files, it can only be confirmed that the warehouse in the western suburbs is not the scene of the first murder, but there is no evidence that the first murder scene is at my client's home. You suspect my client without any evidence and search for evidence in private , will it be unfair to my client?" After lawyer Qian finished asking, he didn't wait for Lin Yan to answer, and said directly: "Your Excellency, I'm done asking."

Lin Yan was a little annoyed, but there was nothing he could do.

Long Zekun took the document handed over by his assistant, his eyes narrowed slightly, and the corners of his mouth curled up in an unhurried arc.

"Officer Lin, why did you break into the defendant's house without evidence? Is it true that you are prejudiced against the defendant as the opposing lawyer said?"

"No!" Lin Yan said in a deep voice, "In fact, we have already started to investigate the deceased. Not long ago, the deceased's account had a huge sum of 1000 million. There may be so much money all at once, and he met Zhuang Haowen the day before the huge sum of money was remitted. We suspect that this is a premeditated extortion case, and the defendant murdered him because he was blackmailed."

"Please describe clearly, why was the defendant blackmailed?"

"Because the deceased accidentally discovered the defendant's secret." Lin Yan's lips moved slightly, staring at Zhuang Haowen, "He is gay."

As soon as the voice fell, there was an uproar.

"Silence." The judge had no choice but to knock the gavel a few times to silence everyone.

"Our serious crimes team was investigating a murder case, that is, the skeleton that had been buried in the ground for seven years was found in the woods in the north of the city. We have confirmed the identity of the skeleton. He is a Chinese man, Lin Ming, He was a homosexual, and he was also suffocated to death by a broken neck." Lin Yan took a deep breath, trying not to be too excited, "We suspect that Lin Ming's death is related to Zhuang Haowen, and we also found that Before his death, Wu Qiang ordered a couple ring that was exactly the same as the one Lin Ming was wearing. He used the ring and photos to threaten Zhuang Haowen. Zhuang Haowen killed Lin Ming because of a change of heart, and he killed Wu Qiang because he didn't want to The secret of my homosexuality was made public."

As soon as the voice fell, everyone was in an uproar.

Especially Gao Guanghui, whose face was extremely gloomy.

"No! No, Your Honor, I object to the witness's attempt to slander my client by speculating about things that have no factual basis."

"Although there is no definite evidence, I have someone who can prove that Lin Ming did have a mysterious lawyer boyfriend before his death."

"Officer Lin, how many lawyers are there in the world? Based on this alone, it is ridiculous to conclude that my client is gay."

"The objection is valid." The judge also spoke at this time, "Witnesses, please pay attention to your words."

Although Lin Yan was angry, there was nothing he could do. He could only stare at the prisoner's dead Zhuang Haowen.

"Is there any new evidence for the prosecution?" the judge asked.

Long Zekun took the paper bag handed over by his assistant, "Here is a recording. There are eyewitnesses who saw the defendant murder that night, and then recorded the conversation with the defendant."

"The matter of that account has not been settled yet, you want to kill me."

"Then what do you think of me? What can I do if the directors want to have a meeting?"

"Don't do this with me. Let me tell you, if you push me, you will be held back by death! As a barrister, you don't know which one is more serious, the crime of embezzlement of public funds or homicide?"

The content of the recording was played in court, and everyone present heard it.

Gao Guanghui's face was extremely ugly, and Gao Jing's face was also a little pale.

There was no emotional change on Zhuang Haowen's calm face.

"Your Excellency, this recording only shows that my client knew that the witness was short of public funds and tried to help him conceal it. It cannot prove that my client admitted to murder." Lawyer Qian said slowly.

"If you didn't kill someone, why did you hide it for witnesses?" Long Zekun asked aggressively.

"Because the witness is the defendant's cousin, the defendant concealed it for him out of family affection. As for the murder, it was just the witness's side story, and the defendant never admitted it."

Lawyer Qian blatantly played word games and reversed the facts. Long Zekun's face turned blue with anger, but he couldn't say anything.However, do you think that you can get away with it, "Your Excellency, I want to call new witnesses."

At this moment, there was a sudden confusion among the prisoners.

I saw Zhuang Haowen's face was pale and he was having difficulty breathing, apparently suffering from illness.

"Hao Wen!" Gao Jing was taken aback, and wanted to rush forward, but was stopped by the court police, so she had to watch outside worriedly.

"Your Excellency, my client is suddenly emotionally unstable. I implore Your Excellency to adjourn the court temporarily." Lawyer Qian said immediately.

The judge agreed.

"Court!"

Lin Yan's face was ugly.

In the lounge, Zhuang Haowen didn't look like he was sick in court just now.

"Mr. Zhuang, I have said everything as you ordered." Lawyer Qian was a little worried, "But the prosecution has witnesses, so I'm afraid it will be difficult to get away with it."

Damn it, Zhuang Haowen's eyes were filled with angry flames, he slowly closed his eyelids, and after a while, he opened them again, there was no emotion in his eyes, they were cold and gloomy and terrifying, "I want to make a phone call .”

Lawyer Qian avoided it knowingly.

Zhuang Haowen made the call, his eyes were deep and dark, "Boss Gu...I need your help..."
