Reborn as the youngest son of a chaebol, let's get to know his sister-in-law!

Chapter 64

"Uncle is still in the hospital. As a man, my father doesn't go to accompany me in the hospital. If you insist on running over and mocking me, you are so naive!"

As soon as these words came out, Chen Xingjun couldn't hold back, after all he was 26, while Chen Daojun was only 18.

Being called childish by his younger brother who is 8 years younger than him, Chen Xingjun's forehead was immediately congested.

"My father is accompanied by someone himself, and this has nothing to do with you!" He restrained his smirk, and pointed in the direction of the trial court: "I want to see if Mao Zhicheng, whom you tried so hard to save, can still get through this test today !"

Chen Xingjun firmly believed in the semi-official news from his friend Jin Zhongyuan, which is why he came here to watch the joke today.

"Okay, then let's make a bet and get a lottery!" Chen Daojun suddenly had an idea.

"How to bet, what to bet?"

"Just bet on the outcome of Mao Zhicheng's trial today. As for the bet, don't we all have people driving here? Whoever loses will keep the car!"

Chen Daojun made the request directly.

"Okay, you're doomed!"

Looking at a large group of irritable citizens standing outside the court waiting for the result, Chen Xingjun was looking forward to how excited the people outside would be when Mao Zhicheng was convicted.

After that, the two of them didn't say anything, just waited quietly.

At 9:00, the trial court of the H City High Court.

Judges Cai Chengxian, Xu Qingyuan and others nodded briefly, and then struck the wooden gavel majestically to signal the start of the trial.

"The prosecution, please state the facts!"

Xu Qingyuan, who worked so hard to qualify for the trial, slowly got up, looked directly at the jury, and began to slowly state the results of the prosecution's investigation.

"On the 7th of this month, the prosecution received a report, which mentioned that starting from June 1987, 6, the defendant Mao Zhicheng ordered his assistant Pei Changyi and others to make 6 false reports in order to evade the company's due tax payment. Illegal activities such as underreporting the company's turnover, and the funds withheld were used to bribe the then president T and other high-ranking officials."

Following his statement, there was some commotion among the jury members, and everyone whispered.

"Miss, this is all fake. Our company has always strictly complied with the regulations." Jin Zhongshuo comforted Mao Xianmin when he saw Mao Xianmin's frown.

"I know." Mao Xianmin nodded imperceptibly. Her father had told her about this.

After the previous case was stated, Xu Qiyuan took a stack of documents from his subordinates, bowed and handed them to the judge: "Now submit the financial reports and bills investigated by the prosecution as evidence."

Cai Chengxian, who is nearly 60, has gray hair. After taking the stack of documents, he picked up the reading glasses on the table and turned a few pages. The suspicious numbers on them were all marked in red and outlined.

Cai Chengxian put down his glasses and looked up at Mao Zhicheng who was wearing blue clothes.

"Defendant, are these bills from your Xiancheng Daily?"

Before Mao Zhicheng answered, his defense lawyer Song Minhao stood up to protest.

"No, this bill was made by force and by unlawful means."

"I didn't ask the defender!" Cai Seung-heon interrupted him directly: "Now I'm asking the defendant!"

Song Minhao was dragged back to his seat by his colleagues, and sat down resentfully.

"Defendant, please answer yes or no!" Cai Chengxian urged: "This bill has your signature on it, so it should be confirmed, right?"

Mao Zhicheng glanced at the lawyer's seat, and took a few seconds to organize the words: "Yes, but these years, due to different statistical standards, we often make revisions according to the latest situation, so the previous turnover will be different from the total financial report. If there is a discrepancy, the company's finances three years ago can be used as evidence."

"Really, witnesses?" Cai Chengxian was not listening to the defense lawyer's opinion, but signaled the staff to directly summon the witnesses.

Originally, he didn't want to omit this procedure, but the order he received was to complete the case as soon as possible, so he could only do so quickly.

Soon, witnesses were brought in.

In front of everyone, the witness signed a bond promising to tell the court the truth about his testimony.

Obviously, the testimony of the witnesses is in favor of Mao Zhicheng, which cannot be used as a criterion for judgment. After consulting with others, Cai Chengxian announced loudly: "According to the testimony of the witnesses, the materials provided by the prosecution cannot prove the accused's crime."

Mao Xianmin breathed a sigh of relief, the first level was passed.

However, Xu Qingyuan did not stop his efforts, but raised again that Mao Zhicheng was suspected of illegally transferring huge amounts of property for the former president.

The unshaven Shen Shubin was brought to the trial site. The jury members looked at this man who was dirty all over and had a decadent face, and whispered to each other, expressing their disbelief that such a scruffy man was still in the newspaper office.

You know, the employees of the newspaper office are the group of people who love to be clean.

Xu Qiyuan walked up to Shen Shubin: "Please tell the name and affiliation of the witness."

Shen Shubin coughed for a while, and said in a hoarse voice: "I am Shen Shubin who worked in Xiancheng Daily three years ago, a staff of the seventh-level newspaper."

Xu Qiyuan held the documents in his hand and asked: "What is the main work you do in Xiancheng Daily?"

"The financial position mainly involves the capital management of the newspaper's overseas investment."

"Okay, before proceeding with my statement, I would like to ask everyone to listen to a recording."

After getting the judge's permission, Xu Qingyuan picked up the tape player and pressed the play button, and it turned out to be the revelation recording from earlier.

"I am a former employee of Xiancheng Daily, and I want to repent because I once did a wrong thing."

"Three years ago, when I was sorting out overseas funds, I found that the Daily News had a large amount of funds, which had never been reflected in the company's finances. This made me feel bad."

"Gradually, I found that the newspaper office and the former president T seem to be inextricably linked, and the president highly respects the former president T."

"Clap!"

Xu Qingyuan turned off the player, turned around and asked Shen Shubin, "You are the one talking in this recording, right?"

"Yes!"

At this time, Mao Xianmin asked in a low voice: "President Jin, do we really have overseas funds?"

"It's nonsense, miss. Three years ago, I was the chief financial officer. This funding is nonsense."

Jin Zhongshuo was very sure. He told Mao Xianmin that no one knew about the funds of the newspaper office, and Mao Zhicheng would not make such a bill.

"According to the testimony of the witness, before the witness resigned three years ago, that is, one week before the overseas funds were transferred overseas, Mao Zhicheng, the president of Xiancheng Daily, visited the former president T. On the same day, the Blue House announced that Xiancheng The three newspapers, including the daily newspaper, have become the objects of strong support for the cultural industry in the cold country."

Xu Qingyuan first explained a premise, and then took out a document.

"Your Honor, the prosecution received a copy of the overseas bills of Xiancheng Daily provided by the witness. The amount of funds is 4000 million U.S. dollars, which is converted into 400 billion won. It is verified by financial institutions that this is true."

Xu Qingyuan took the materials and went to the jury department to make a tour, showed everyone the part where the agency's conclusions were stamped, and finally presented it to Judge Cai Chengxian.

At this time, the members of the jury were all refreshed, and everyone focused their attention on Mao Zhicheng.

To be honest, even Mao Zhicheng was surprised, he didn't know about it at all.

"Objection!" Song Minho stood up to protest again, and he raised doubts: "Even if this bill comes from Xiancheng Daily, how can it be proved that it is related to the former president?"

Xu Qingyuan just smiled lightly: "Attention the defense lawyers, this bill is from the former President T's corruption and bribery case three years ago. There is nearly 500 billion funds that can't be explained. It is highly consistent with this bill!"

He pointed out the timeline: "Also, this is 400 billion won, not 400 yuan. Which company would go to such lengths to use the name of Xiancheng Daily to transfer funds from domestic to overseas? The prosecution can only Do you think the newspaper wanted to cover up something, or in other words, it was the embezzlement of funds involved in the case?"

These words seemed to be very reasonable, even Cai Chengxian nodded slightly.

Xu Qingyuan strikes while the iron is hot, and walks up to Mao Zhicheng: "Defendant, let me ask you now, what exactly is this bill for, please answer me truthfully."

Mao Zhicheng stared at the bill, looked at it for a long time, and after confirming that it was a company account, he smiled helplessly: "I have never seen this bill before, I don't know!"

"As the president of the newspaper, you actually say you don't know?" Xu Qingyuan stared at him and shook his head.

Several impulsive members of the jury were already outraged that the evidence seemed overwhelming.

"He lied!"

"It's just nonsense!"

"A president doesn't know about the company's huge bill?"

The impulse of justice fermented in their hearts.

The scene began to become chaotic.

Xu Qingyuan has completed the task, he turned his head and bowed to Cai Chengxian: "Your Honor, my questioning is over."

Cai Chengxian nodded, picked up the gavel and knocked "bang pound bang" three times: "Quiet, now let the defense lawyer speak!"

Song Minho, who was already eager to try, immediately counterattacked.

"Everyone knows the national conditions of our country. The major chaebols have overseas funds, which are also convenient for purchasing and trading in overseas offices. Xiancheng Daily prints and prints a lot. It is normal to upgrade and update equipment from overseas. What can a bill say?"

"Also, can it be proved that it is related to the former president based on the one-sided statement of a staff member? What about the evidence?"

Song Minho walked in front of Shen Shubin, for some reason, he felt that there was no anger in Shen Shubin's eyes.

Could it be that he really found out with his conscience and desperately reported it?
At this moment, Song Minho's heart was a little shaken.

However, out of professionalism, he still tried his best to ask: "Prosecution witness, I want to ask you a question. Since you have mastered these things, why didn't you choose to expose them when you just left the job?"

Shen Shubin said flatly: "At that time, the former president T was still in office, I dare not!"

Song Minho didn't continue to ask, the next answer that any fool can think of is that the former boss T is now down, beat the dog in the water!
Taking a deep breath, he tried to ask again: "Why did you leave the company? Is it because the working environment of the newspaper office made you feel uncomfortable?"

"Protest!" Xu Qingyuan interrupted him directly: "The defense lawyer is suspected of inducing questioning and seriously violated the regulations, Your Honor."

If Shin Shubin said that it was an environmental issue, then Song Minho could claim that he had a personal grudge against the company. Judges are generally very cautious about such reports.

Song Minho shrugged: "I just want to know the reason why the witness left the company 3 years ago, which belongs to the normal inquiry category."

"The protest is invalid, the defense lawyers please continue."

As a judge, Cai Chengxian has to be impartial, he doesn't want to be criticized.

Shen Shubin stopped coughing, took a tissue to wipe the saliva from his mouth, and smiled sarcastically: "Every citizen who still has justice will not be able to stay in this kind of company if he encounters such a dirty deal."

"Then, how did you, a mere accountant, come into contact with such secrets like transfers? According to your level, you don't have the authority to investigate."

"Yes, I may have violated the company's management regulations, but I believe that as long as we are careful enough, we will always find some clues of secret transactions. It violates the company's regulations and does not violate the laws of Han Country, Lawyer Song!" Shen Shubin showed no flaws. .

After this confrontation, no effective information was obtained at all.

Song Minho was a bit poor at words, this was his first battle as a lawyer, not only he was facing the wily deputy chief prosecutor, but also witnesses who didn't know what to do.

"The questioning time for defense lawyers is over, please return to your seat."

Mao Xianmin bit her lip tightly and clutched the handbag tightly. If this continues, the situation will be very bad.
