Chapter 436: Case Trial
After Zhao Qingluo left on business, Gu Ruilin's case has made new progress in recent days.
Seeing that the human and physical evidence was collected by the police, Gu Ruilin, who had been with the police Zhou Xuan in the interrogation room all day, inevitably began to get a little tired.
He gradually realized that instead of pretending to be unaware and denying the delay, it was better to confess his guilt freely.
Anyway, he had completely lost to the man named Yue Tingcheng.
That used to be his best hand is not a brother.
"Gu Ruilin, I hope that when the time comes, you can sincerely admit your guilt to the judge, after all, you are no longer a high-ranking group sanctioner."
Facing the earnest reminder of the police, Gu Ruilin, who lowered his eyes, stared at his shackled wrist, and then chuckled.
Yes, Gu Ruilin, you have no choice.
Three days later, the court held a preliminary trial of Gu Ruilin's case. The relevant personnel who received the notice in advance rushed to the scene one after another on the day of the trial.
Due to Gu Ruilin's special identity, after the case was exposed, it caused a sensation in the entire business community, and now that the court is hearing the case, the major media naturally rushed to the scene and tried to write a shocking headline in advance.
"Mr. Yue, the preliminary trial of Gu Ruilin's case is open today, I don't know what you want to say to the chief envoy of the case?"
"Mr. Yue, I heard that there is an emotional dispute between Gu Ruilin and you, and this fraud is also because he wants to take revenge on you, is it true?"
Yue Tingcheng, who leaned out of the back seat in a straight suit, faintly glanced at the major media surrounding him with deep eyes, pursed his lips, and didn't seem to want to answer the question raised by the reporter just now.
"Excuse me, let it all go first, don't crowd forward, okay?" Several black-clothed bodyguards who arrived in a hurry rushed to Yue Tingcheng's front with sweaty profusely. Then he opened his hand and made a way for him with difficulty.
"Mr. Yue, we all know that you were good friends with Gu Ruilin, I don't know if you went to visit him in prison after the case."
Yue Tingcheng's steps forward paused, his eyes narrowed slightly, staring coldly at the reporter who was trying to hand him the microphone, and a dangerous light flashed in his eyes.
"These media reporters just have nothing to do when they are full, isn't it just a first instance to engage in a big battle, so if it is a final trial, wouldn't it be to surround the door of the court?!" Yue Tingcheng, who had just stepped into the court hall, glanced at Qi Haoyang, who had sneaked in through the side door, and couldn't help but complain about his strange dress.
"Please, don't you look at the group of reporters pretending to be pigs and eating tigers outside the door, you are protected by bodyguards, if it were me, I would have been trampled into meat puree, okay?" Qi Haoyang, who was crying with a sad face, angrily took off the wig he was wearing on his head.
If he wasn't afraid of trouble, why would he do this to himself?
"It's not too early, let's go in first." Yue Tingcheng, who couldn't hold back a hint of a smile, suddenly regained his solemn complexion when he talked about Gu Ruilin's case.
The two pushed open the door of the auditorium and walked in one after the other.
After the two of them randomly found a corner and sat down, it didn't take long for the judge sitting at the top to announce the opening of the trial.
Under the leadership of the police, Gu Ruilin, who was wearing shackles on both hands, walked in slightly staggered in from the side door.
Perhaps he hadn't rested well during the past few days in prison, and his scarlet eyes were covered with dense bloodshots, which at first glance were a little scary.
The stubble remained on his angular chin, and with such a haggard face, it was really clear that he had been doing very badly lately.
"Okay, now the defense presents the human and physical evidence provided by the police, and if the defendant has any objections to any of them, he can raise them at any time."
Although the courtroom is a solemn public place, the judge sitting above him today spoke in a very soft tone, as if he himself was also kind.
Gu Ruilin, who has been hanging his head since he went to court, chose to remain silent, and he would not raise his head twice until the judge or lawyer asked questions, and the whole process of the trial was very smooth.
Yue Tingcheng, who was sitting in the corner with his arms in his hands, couldn't help frowning slightly as he listened to the argument of the lawyers on both sides.
Although 30 million is just the price of a project list for him, as long as he thinks that his former good friend actually joined forces with outsiders to defraud him of money, he will not be angry.
He never thought that Gu Ruilin would pay so much for a woman.
"Gu Ruilin, do you have any objections to the above human and material evidence?" As he spoke, the judge sorted out the draft of the case that had been placed in front of him.
"I have no objection at all, and I hope that Your Excellency will give me a chance to mend my ways." He raised his head and glanced at the judge with an expression on his face, and his eyes were like stagnant water, which couldn't help but make the judge stunned.
Gu Ruilin, he had seen this man in a financial weekly newspaper. It's just that now he doesn't have the high-spirited appearance he had at all.
"Okay, now for the adjournment." With the small hammer in the judge's hand making three "dong dong dong", the originally quiet courtroom suddenly made a noise as if it had exploded.
"Your Excellency, for the sake of my son's cooperation, you must open the net!" Seeing that the figure of the judge was about to disappear on the other side of the door, Gu Ruilin's mother, who was sitting in the audience, shouted in that direction with tears in her eyes.
"Don't worry. In the end, the judge will definitely give a reasonable result. Looking at the lady who collapsed in his arms all of a sudden, Gu Ruilin's father was also very unhappy.
He never imagined that his son, whom he had always been proud of since he was a child, would one day embark on the path of crime.
"If Ruilin is sentenced to ten years and eight years for this, then one of his most important stages of life will be ruined, you know?" She cried so hard that she clenched her husband's wrist, very weak.
Who says children aren't a piece of the heart of a parent? Although Gu Ruilin's father did not reveal his joys, sorrows, and sorrows, he was also very anxious about it in his heart.
After the adjournment, they listened to the judge's trial in the first instance in a restless state.
"Based on our deliberations, the court has made the following judgment for the time being. Since the defendant in this case confessed to the human and material evidence provided by the police, the issue of commutation of sentence will now be considered. ”
Gu Ruilin's parents, who were sitting in the audience, heard what the judge said, and their eyes flashed with hope.
"On the other hand, in view of the fact that the nationality of Yan Kaize, another person involved in this case, does not belong to his own country, in accordance with international laws, he will be transferred to the court of his country for judgment, and I am afraid that the whole case will need to be put on hold for a period of time."
As soon as the words fell, the audience was in an uproar, they never thought that because of Yan Kaize, the trial of the case would be moved backwards.
"It seems that it will be a while before the final outcome of this case is known." It was nothing more than hearing Qi Haoyang's faint sigh, Yue Tingcheng, who was sitting on the side, his slender fingers intertwined, still choosing to be silent.
After the judge announced the dismissal of the courtroom, Gu Ruilin was taken away from the scene by two prison guards, and as he passed the audience, he met Shangyue Tingcheng's sharp eyes in a trance.
Yue Tingcheng's mouth moved, and he didn't know what to say to him. I saw that Gu Ruilin's eyes dimmed, and even his back looked a little lonely.
Gu Ruilin's case unexpectedly made the front page headlines in the second half of the night. Walking in the streets and alleys at will, even the news broadcast in the restaurant must propose the results of the first trial.
It can be seen that this matter will become a topic of conversation among the people before tea after dinner in the near future.
The son's case has taken a turn for the better, which is probably the best news that Gu Ruilin's parents have heard this month.
In order to be able to find an opportunity to reduce the sentence, they sorted out some information about the case overnight, as well as things favorable to Gu Ruilin, packed them to the court the next day, and submitted an appeal application by the way.
"You say, will the court dismiss our appeal?"
Gu Ruilin's mother sat on the sofa worriedly, her hands intertwined, obviously very entangled.
"It's useless to say anything now, it's better to see what the destiny is, let's do it." Gu Ruilin's father, who still had nothing in his heart, stood in front of the family photo with his hands in his hands, looking at the warmth of the old smile like a flower in the photo, and couldn't help but raise his glasses.
It didn't take long for Gu Ruilin's parents to receive a letter of acknowledgment from the court.
"Relin Dad, do you think this letter is true?" Gu Ruilin's mother pinched the corner of the letter and asked in a trembling voice.
She didn't know how many nights she hadn't slept well in order to wait for that day to come, and she couldn't believe that she was daydreaming when she saw the appeal successful.
"Our appeal was successful!" Gu Ruilin's father snatched the acknowledgment letter from her hand with joy.
It was the first time in a while that he had a happy smile on his face.
"Gu Ruilin, because your parents successfully appealed, the court temporarily decided to reduce the sentence, and the final result of the trial was that you can be released after three years in prison." learned the news of his commutation through the mouth of the prison guard, Gu Ruilin, who was lying on the bed, was not as happy as he imagined, but did not know whether he was happy or sad.
After all, the last thing he wants is his mistakes to end up being cleaned up by his parents.
Unknowingly, Gu Ruilin's case went to the stage of the second instance of the court.
On the day of the second trial, the entrance of the court was surrounded by water, and reporters from all walks of life were still very concerned about the direction of the case.
This time, Yue Tingcheng did not go to the trial, but only learned from subsequent reports on the Internet that Gu Ruilin's case was characterized by the court as a commercial fraud.
"I hope that in prison, you can reflect on the mistakes you have made." Yue Tingcheng, who was sitting at the desk, stared closely at Gu Ruilin, who was pushed out of the crowd in the video, his eyes flashing with a complicated light.
