In the courtroom.
Many people came to testify one after another.
Including all the relevant Anshi personnel who handled this contract, as well as the relevant personnel who privately transferred the contract accounts.
Even the director of the Planning Bureau also came to court to confirm all the details of his bribery.
As a result.
With strong evidence.
An Yanyuan's crimes of tax evasion, tax evasion and bribery were basically established.
Everyone felt that this lawsuit was over.
In addition, An Yanyuan desperately used Ye Jinghuai, a pseudo-lawyer who had never fought a lawsuit but only had a lawyer's license, to fight the lawsuit, which further confirmed An Yanyuan's criminal facts.
In the solemn and quiet courtroom.
The prosecutor's lawyer returned to his seat.
The judge said to Ye Jinghuai, "Please let the defendant's lawyer make a legal defense against the prosecutor's indictment."
"Thank you, Your Honor." Ye Jinghuai stood up from his seat.
Everyone turned their eyes to Ye Jinghuai, clearly not believing that Ye Jinghuai would really come to fight the lawsuit.
Admittedly, Ye Jinghuai did seem to suddenly turn on the cheats recently, but after all, things like lawsuits require experience for lawyers, not just theoretical knowledge to take office.
At this moment in the courtroom, at least half of the people were waiting to see Ye Jinghuai's joke.
It felt that he had become too arrogant and arrogant recently.
The onlookers have always liked to watch the slapstick.
Gu Yan Sheng also looked like he was waiting to see Ye Jinghuai's joke.
After Ye Jinghuai stood up, he did fall silent for a good few seconds.
His eyes were clearly looking for someone in the audience.
That moment An Nuan was actually a little nervous too.
It wasn't that she didn't dare to believe in Ye Jinghuai, it was just...at such a critical moment, there would still be worries.
Her eyes moved slightly and met Ye Jinghuai's eyes.
"Damn." Xia Qiqi suddenly said next to her, "Why do I feel like I'm being fed dog food? Is Ye Jinghuai giving you electric eyes?"
An Nuan looked back.
Ye Jinghuai's eyes really hooked souls.
On the court, Ye Jinghuai seemed to have confirmed An Nuan's eyes before turning around and speaking in the courtroom, "Your Honor, I plead not guilty for my client."
As soon as he finished speaking.
The whole scene was in an uproar.
I guess no one had even thought that Ye Jinghuai would say such a thing.
The criminal facts have been confirmed.
Does Ye Jinghuai really have no shame?!
Yes.
Lawyers have thick skin.
But being shameless to Ye Jinghuai's extent is rare.
Will he feel humiliated when sentenced later?!
"Quiet!" Amidst the commotion for a while, the judge said solemnly.
Those mocking voices finally died down.
"Please continue, defending counsel."
"Yes." Ye Jinghuai obeyed respectfully.
He said to the judge, "Just now, the informant, Wei Daguo, said that the reason why he reported my client was because my client forced him too much and said that my client did not fulfill the contract and forced him to use the most expensive building materials for construction. However, as far as I know, most of the construction materials for Anshi Group's engineering construction are purchased directly by Anshi Group in order to ensure the quality of Anshi's construction. In other words, only a small part of the building materials require contractors to provide. As for the 830 million construction cost of this Hua Tan International contractor, I have checked in detail the building materials that the contractor needs to purchase, even if the top materials on the market are used, it will not exceed 3 billion. In other words, there is an exaggeration in the statement of the informant Wei Daguo just now."
"I didn't exaggerate. The construction cost is not just for purchasing building materials, there are also labor costs, daily expenses and many more! Do you think my 830 million construction cost is my net profit?" Wei Daguo refuted very excitedly, with some sarcasm.
Ye Jinghuai glanced at Wei Daguo, "Mr. Wei, please don't speak before I let you speak."
"Please ask the informant to control his emotions. Before the court allows you to speak, please remain silent." The judge said solemnly.
Wei Daguo looked at the judge and nodded, "Yes."
Ye Jinghuai went on to say, "That's the first doubt I have about this case. Second, I just looked at the private bribery agreement signed between Wei Daguo and my client, and the private contract agreement signed between Zhang Wen and my client. These two agreements have a very big bug, that is, they only have signatures and no seals or fingerprints. North Wen Country Contract Law Article 32, paragraph 5 clearly states that a contract without seals and personal fingerprints cannot become a legally valid contract. So we believe that these two contracts cannot be presented as evidence."
"It is true that a contract without seals and fingerprints cannot become a valid contract, but it is not enough to prove the defendant's innocence." The judge gave the verdict.
Ye Jinghuai did not refute.
He respectfully said, "Your Honor, may I ask the informant a few questions?"
"Allowed."
He turned around, facing the informant Wei Daguo.
Wei Daguo looked at Ye Jinghuai, inevitably a little panicked.
He calmed himself down.
Although the lawyer was temporarily changed to a newcomer rookie, he didn't need to be afraid either.
"Mr. Wei, did you say earlier that you have cooperated with Anshi Group twice?" Ye Jinghuai asked.
"yes." Wei Daguo replied.
"May I ask who was the person you mainly contacted for cooperation?"
"An employee of Anshi Group's construction department, Zhang He."
"So it wasn't my client, right?"
"Of course not. An Yanyuan is the chairman of Anshi Group. How could I possibly meet him casually."
"In that case, in a situation where you and my client were completely unfamiliar, what reason would my client have to believe you and reach a private agreement with you to help him bribe the director of the Planning Bureau?"
Wei Daguo was stunned for a moment.
Previously it was agreed that everything in the courtroom was arranged, just answer according to the prepared lines.
Now this question obviously exceeded his scope of answering.
"What's the matter, can't answer this question?" Ye Jinghuai's eyes tightened, looking aggressive.
"It's just..." Wei Daguo bit his tongue, "Just as I said earlier, I heard that Anshi Group wanted to buy the land of Hua Tan International, so I gave them a line, and talked about the conditions at that time. After the line was connected, Hua Tan International's contracting construction would be given to me, so I met An Yanyuan. After a few contacts, one thing led to another and we got acquainted. He also agreed to let me undertake the construction of Hua Tan International, but he also gave me a condition, asking me to take out 20 million to bribe the director of the Planning Bureau, otherwise the planning and construction of Hua Tan International will be obstructed." Wei Daguo answered quite calmly.
"So may I ask, did Mr. Wei sign the agreement with my client face to face?"
"yes." Wei Daguo bit his tongue.
He probably felt that he had answered quite logically just now, so he was very confident now.
