Chapter 692 Zhang Wei's testimony is useless to pour dirty water

"I know Zhang Tianlong's motive for killing Mr. Zhou, and I even know he has to do it!"

Having said that, Zhang Wei looked at Mrs. Zhou: "Mrs. Zhou, what does your husband do, please tell everyone!"

"My husband is in the shipping business. He is away from home for nearly 7-8 months every year, and he does shipping abroad every day!"

"Then do you know who your husband's boss is?"

"Well, their company's shareholder meeting seems to be more private, and I don't know much about it."

Mrs. Zhou shook her head, but then she seemed to recall: "But my husband said that he works for the big shots."

"That's right, big shot!"

Zhang Wei, who was sitting on the witness stand, smiled: "The so-called big shots are Chairman Zhang Tianlong, Lin Xiangtian and Wu Yuanzong!"

As soon as this remark came out, the audience was in an uproar.

"Objection, false accusation!" Laura immediately stood up and expressed her objection.

"Really, but the group behind this company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Jincheng Group, and part of the internal funds for the operation of this subsidiary come from Jincheng Group, and part of it comes from the company under the name of Mr. Wu Yuanzong The fund, and the bulk of the last part, comes from an unknown charitable fund."

Speaking of this, Zhang Wei looked at Zhang Tianlong and smiled slightly: "Chairman Zhang, the funds in your hands are really deep enough, you should have hired a special accountant to do the accounting, but unfortunately, I also hired Senior accountants checked the accounts, and finally found that these funds came from a charity fund under the name of your father Zhang Tianyan!"

"In other words, the shipping company where Mr. Zhou works, one of the real behind-the-scenes bosses is your Zhang family!"

Zhang Tianlong's eyes were uncertain, apparently he did not expect that Zhang Wei had found out the source of the company's funds.

"As we all know, Chairman Zhang's father is over 80 years old. I think the old man should not care about it. Then this fund should go to your next generation. It should be a matter of course that you, Zhang Tianlong, are in charge of these funds. !"

As he said that, Zhang Wei showed a smile: "Speaking of it, that's a lot of money, conservatively estimated to be tens of billions, how much is your monthly salary when Zhang Tianlong is the city councilor? If you want to earn tens of billions, you have to work for dozens of lives without eating or drinking, right?"

As soon as this remark came out, the audience was in an uproar.

It is obviously unrealistic for Zhang Tianlong's salary to earn tens of billions, so where does this money come from?

"No, my client, Mr. Zhang, his family has been a famous family since a hundred years ago. It is not a big problem to have assets left by the ancestors!"

Laura stood up, opposed Zhang Wei, and told everyone that the Zhang Tianlong family had a lot of money, but the money was left by their ancestors.

This money was left to him by his ancestors, it belonged to the family, and they had the legal right to control it.

"It's true that the inheritance is also due to the ability of the ancestors, so let me ask by the way, have you paid taxes for inheriting such a large inheritance?"

As soon as this remark came out, there was only one word left in Zhang Tianlong's mouth.

grass!

"No, this money is a charitable fund and does not need to pay taxes!"

Laura stood up again and told the court the truth.

Although the inheritance tax is subject to inheritance tax, if the money is used for charity, it can be exempted from tax.

So this is also the purpose of all rich people setting up charitable funds. They will use the money for charity in name, but they can do whatever they want with the internal books of the fund.

It may be to sponsor a child, or to plant trees in the northwest desert. The amount of these expenditures can be large or small, and there is a huge room for fraudulent accounting.

When you plant a tree, you are counting money from logistics and transportation. The cost of a tree may be several thousand, but you can reimburse tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands. The extra money in this expenditure will be included Whose pocket, you say?

"So let's go back to the original topic. Zhang Tianlong had a motive to kill Mr. Zhou. Here I still want to ask Mrs. Zhou."

Zhang Wei looked at Mrs. Zhou: "Mrs. Zhou, what is your husband's monthly salary?"

"He is in charge of running the ship, and he is also the person in charge of the project. He is in charge of negotiating business overseas. His monthly salary is more than 10,000. He even negotiates a big deal. After the goods are delivered, he can get tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of bonuses!"

"Yeah, so your husband's salary is high, but it's all his hard-earned money running around, accompanying clients and boats, and risking his health and risk, right?"

Mrs. Zhou nodded. Her husband worked so hard, he could be said to be the pillar of the family.

"So, Mrs. Zhou, let me ask you, did your husband pay for the full price of the villa in the city center where your family lived?"

"This... seems to be it."

Hearing this, some people noticed something was wrong.

Although your husband makes a lot of money and works very hard, isn't it a little exaggerated to be able to buy a villa in the center of the Oriental Capital after working for so many years?

Tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands per month, it is impossible to have so much every month in a year, and the annual income should be about one million.

Then your husband has worked for more than ten years, and after removing some daily expenses, etc., saving more than ten million in his hand should be the limit.

This amount of money is enough to buy a stacked villa in the suburbs of Dongfang Capital, but in the city center, it is at most a just-needed property, right?

"Mrs. Zhou, have you ever suspected that your husband's annual income is actually less than one million yuan, but he spends money recklessly, and even paid for the 30 million yuan villa in one lump sum. You didn't even blink your eyes?"

"this……"

Mrs. Zhou finally noticed something was wrong.

And many people in the court also reacted.

This Mr. Zhou, do you have some income from unknown sources?

"Yeah, everyone should be able to hear that Mr. Zhou has been filling his own pockets all the time. Together with a few colleagues, he siphoned off the company's internal funds. They have become moths of the company, cheating and embezzling the company's funds!"

Zhang Wei said a fact.

"Then it's easy for everyone to understand. Because of Mr. Zhou's behavior and the behavior of those few people, Zhang Tianlong, the owner of the company, had to do something to silence him."

"He knew that instead of letting these moths continue to live and continue to take money from his pockets, it is better to kill these moths, and then win over the pirates to ensure that his goods are unimpeded on the sea route."

"Later, Zhang Tianlong probably asked the accountant to do the math, get rid of Mr. Zhou's moths, and then directly bribe Captain Bashaluo with the money used to open up the sea route every year. In fact, this cost is actually more expensive than enduring Mr. Zhou and others every year. There are far fewer clever projects, so it is worth the money no matter how you spend it.”

Taking the sea route every year, some captains or old salesmen know that they need to prepare a sum of money for the pirates to open up the sea route.

This money is equivalent to the protection fee, and some pirates will not make things difficult for you after you pay the money.

After all, this shipping line is also their source of income. If they commit murder and steal goods, the merchants will not come to run the ship. How can they collect protection fees and earn extra money?

Shipping has always been a lucrative industry, and a trip by ship is a huge deal, and there are moths inside the company, and their greed will increase with the company's transaction volume.

Instead of conniving, it's better to just let it go.

As for how to deal with these moths, Zhang Tianlong gave everyone the answer.

Borrowing a knife to kill someone!

If you do something on board the Oriental Star, you can still blame the pirates and Duanmu Heizu. Isn't that killing two birds with one stone?

"Chairman Zhang, it's really a good plan. Not only did he clean up the moths in the shipping company under his name, but he also killed people with a knife, throwing out the crime of murder. I have to say that Chairman Zhang is really brilliant, and his plans are as deep as the sea!"

"be opposed to!"

Seeing that Zhang Wei started to "arrange" his clients again, Laura stood up again.

"This is all the witness's guess, he..."

"Judge Chen, I take back my last statement. I'm sorry, it's the first time I'm sitting on the witness stand, and I'm a little excited for a while."

Zhang Wei hurriedly apologized, with a sincere attitude.

Lao Chen glanced at him, but he didn't say much, but said to the jury: "Just pretend you didn't hear the last words, do you understand?"

The jury nodded, but whether they really didn't hear what the judge said is another matter.

Zhao Chunming also took the opportunity to walk up to Zhang Wei.

"Witness, are those just your guesses?"

"It's not so much a speculation, but a reasonable inference I made based on the work experience of Mr. Zhou and the other deceased, their financial status, and the information on the shareholders behind the shipping company!"

"Then apart from this speculation, the other facts are all supported by evidence, right?"

"Yes, I have the background investigation information about the shipping company, as well as the account capital flow records of Mr. Zhou and others during their lifetime. These can prove that they have been making false accounts within the company during their lifetime, defrauding a large sum of money at one time. and the money went into their own pockets. Of course, the money belonged to Chairman Zhang’s family, Mr. Lin’s family, and Mr. Wu’s family. The behavior of Mr. Zhou and others stemmed from their Dig money out of your pocket and put it in your own pocket."

After hearing this statement, everyone understood.

This is the motive for murder!

If they were themselves, they would probably not be able to bear it if they saw someone working for them while embezzling the company's funds by making fake accounts.

"Yes, if you put it this way, it can indeed be a motive for killing!"

Zhao Chunming also nodded subconsciously, this statement is enough to be the motivation.

After all, once money is involved, interest disputes may eventually turn into criminal disputes and even murders.

"Then, for Zhang Wei, we have no problem for the time being."

Zhao Chunming ended the question in a timely manner.

Seeing this, Laura took a deep breath and walked slowly to the court.

But she knew that no amount of tricks would work for Zhang Wei.

Because this person in front of him is also a veteran driver of the court, and even a lawyer who is better than himself.

Ordinary routines and moves aimed at witnesses are useless to the present, who is an expert.

"Mr. Zhang Wei, I have to say that your imagination is very rich."

"No, I'm not wrong, isn't the source of funds behind that company all from Chairman Zhang's family?"

Laura's first sentence was interrupted by Zhang Wei.

And Zhang Wei also looked at Zhang Tianlong: "Chairman Zhang, am I right about this?"

Zhang Tianlong stopped talking because he knew he couldn't refute.

"Oh, by the way, the port of Dongfangdu is the southern hub of Longguo. The company under your name can receive big orders every time. Does it have your status as the chairman of the chapter? Are you using Your own power has sought illegitimate interests for your company, Chairman Zhang?"

This statement caused an uproar in the entire court once again.

Here, it involves the transaction of power and money, which is something that cannot be discussed loudly.

But whether it is the jury or the hearing seat, they all subconsciously think about it, it can't be true, right?

After all, you, Zhang Tianlong, are the mayor of the city. Is it difficult to give convenience to your company within your power?

"Ahem, Mr. Zhang Wei, please pay attention, I am the one asking the question now!"

Laura knew that Zhang Wei could not be allowed to continue talking, otherwise the jury might become hostile to Zhang Tianlong.

"Actually, I know that it was another story on board the Oriental Star two years ago, right?"

"Oh, you mean to say that I am the mastermind behind the scenes?"

"Yes, that's right!"

When Laura found an opportunity, she naturally didn't give Zhang Wei any rebuttal, and started telling the story directly: "You, together with Duanmu Heizu, joined forces with the pirates to attack the people on board. Mr. Zhang is also your target!"

"However, when you fought in the lobby of the casino, you and Duanmu Heizu had conflicts for some reason. In the end, you killed him and exchanged fire with the pirates. In the end, you and the pirates had a chase on the ship and had to escape to the deck. .”

"The final story is the same as the special operations team's public report. You took hostages, and then you were shot by a member of the special operations team and accidentally fell into the sea!"

At the end of Laura's speech, she looked at Zhang Wei with piercing eyes.

She decided that this was the truth!

And the only truth.

Clap clap!

Zhang Wei took the lead in applauding, but no one else in the court responded.

"I have to say, Lawyer Laura, you are still very loyal. You can say whatever you are taught there, right?"

Zhang Wei looked at Laura with ridicule and sarcasm.

"Mr. Zhang Wei, I just told the truth."

"Are you sure this is the truth? If the truth is far from what you said, and you firmly believe that it is the truth, but it is just a lie, will you bear the responsibility, Lawyer Laura?"

"I am a lawyer, and I will only be responsible for the interests of my clients!"

Seeing that Laura was unmoved, Zhang Wei didn't bother to continue talking nonsense.

"I have no contact with the pirates or Duanmu Heizu. Even when I realized that the ship was hijacked, it was already too late."

"These are all your one-sided words!"

Laura objected again.

Zhang Wei knew that this was the strategy of the defense.

Even if you are telling the truth, as long as we break the dirty water on you.

The big deal is that the two sides will blackmail each other, and it will depend on who the jury believes.

You know, this is a public prosecution case, and the jury must have 12 unanimous votes to convict Zhang Tianlong.

Once the jury disagrees, the court will not be able to convict, and Zhang Tianlong's plan will succeed.

"Mr. Zhang Wei, we firmly believe that you may be lying, because you may be behind the scenes, and you stand up to expose the so-called truth, probably for yourself."

"It's like telling you that my client borrowed a knife to kill someone and slandered you as the mastermind behind the scenes. Isn't it impossible for you to do the same thing, and I even think your motives are no less than my client's?"

Laura started, and started a typical one. See each trick and use it to fight.

"For this, I can only deny it, because I really haven't done it."

Zhang Wei didn't panic, but looked at Zhang Tianlong with a smile.

"Lawyer Laura, I know you want to continue pouring dirty water on me, but it's okay, I, Zhang Wei, are shameless, you can do it anyway."

"But what I want to make clear is that compared to your defense's move, everyone knows in their hearts that Zhang Tianlong's motives are much more obvious than mine."

"I have no conflict with Mr. Zhou. I have always been a law-abiding citizen two years ago. Why should I kill them? Even I can't control them to board the boat, do you think so?"

What Zhang Wei said made the jury nod subconsciously.

This seems to make sense.

"But Zhang Tianlong is different. In order to kill Mr. Zhou and the others, he specially sent the boat ticket in his own name. I believe you all know this, right?"

In the jury and hearing seats, many people nodded again.

"So, do you all understand that Mr. Zhou and the others boarded the boat when Zhang Tianlong issued the ticket, so the goal is clear, and what's the point of me killing Mr. Zhou? I have no grievances with him? "

"but……"

Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Laura wanted to speak again.

"Lawyer Laura, I know what you want to say. You want to say that my purpose is to kill other people, and Mr. Zhou and others are just additional damage, right?"

Seeing Zhang Wei's teasing and teasing face, Laura immediately fell silent.

Yes, she did mean to say that.

"Then I'm surprised. If it's really additional damage, it doesn't need to be such a coincidence. People who happened to embezzle money from the company under Zhang Tianlong's name must die. There must be a few alive. They just happened to be wiped out. There is no such a coincidence." right?"

This time, the jury also noticed something was wrong.

Yes, what a coincidence.

If Zhang Wei is the mastermind behind the scenes, does he need to take action against these people? It is completely unnecessary.

On the contrary, Zhang Tianlong is the mastermind behind the scenes, and it is very necessary to kill Mr. Zhou and others.

This is also the purpose of the pirates entering the casino lobby and killing Mr. Zhou and others immediately, right?

"Okay, this is the end of my testimony, I will say so much, I believe everyone understands that my testimony is actually more reliable!"

Having said that, Zhang Wei smiled slightly at Laura and Zhang Tianlong.

What is this trick called? This trick is called lore!

No matter if you pour dirty water on me, you are embarrassed, and you will ignore it at all.

But I'm different. I have factual basis and documents to prove that you, Zhang Tianlong, have a motive for committing the crime.

Next, if you can't provide more effective testimony or evidence, then you are completely useless!

Zhang Wei's eyes sent such a message to Laura and Zhang Tianlong.

A few minutes later.

"This court announces that today's promotion is over, let's continue next Monday!"

Lao Chen glanced at the time, and finally announced with a hammer.

The court is adjourned today!
