Chapter 297: Plan Within a Plan (3)
At the same time, it was revealed that a foreign bank account belonging to the forensic doctor at the time had received a large sum of money before performing the autopsy on the deceased, raising suspicions of bribery to fabricate evidence.Furthermore, Han Zirui presented the forensic doctor’s autopsy process and evidence, pointing out numerous doubts.
After strong arguments, the court found that the forensic doctor was suspected of being bribed to fabricate facts and evidence. Therefore, the initial matching results of the hair and DNA samples taken from Qiao Dehou could not be considered valid.
Seeing the situation turning against him, Shen Ling was worried about facing accusations of perjury.
He immediately had to change his statement, falsely claiming that he was hungover that day and might not have seen clearly, only feeling that the suspect’s figure strongly resembled Qiao Dehou.
After a series of verbal battles, Qiao Mo sat in the audience, extremely nervous.
Fu Nancheng gently held her small hand, seemingly not worried at all: "Don’t worry, this case is in the bag."
"Hm?" Qiao Mo was slightly startled.
"Previously, I had someone investigate a bit, and it turns out Shen Ling has always been searching for a piece of white jade.
Rumor has it that a group of Italians are buying it at a high price, apparently because they found an ancient tomb somewhere in the country that requires this piece of white jade to open it."
Qiao Mo was stunned, unable to regain her composure for quite a while.
"I guess your father knew all along and came prepared."
With that, he said no more.
During this time, he had done some investigating and realized he had underestimated Qiao Dehou.
Initially, he was almost fooled by Qiao Dehou, but eventually, he found that the information about the white jade was released by Qiao Dehou from the start.
If he guessed correctly, while Shen Ling was scheming against Qiao Dehou, he himself was also being schemed against by Qiao Dehou.
However, Qiao Dehou was in the shadows, and Shen Ling was in the light.
...
Soon, the recess ended.
The verdict was about to be announced.
Qiao Mo’s heart jumped to her throat once again.
Although Fu Nancheng kept reassuring her, such matters are fraught with uncertainties until the very last moment she couldn’t be at ease.
A few minutes later, the court began to pronounce the verdict.
"This court announces the verdict on the murder case of Qiao Dehou on June 25th, due to insufficient evidence, the defendant is found not guilty."
Qiao Mo immediately stood up from her seat, tears streaming down as she looked at the hefty figure.
Wonderful... just wonderful...
The murder charge was dismissed, and Han Zirui had analyzed the previous economic case with her.
The most severe sentence would not exceed three years of imprisonment.
As if sensing his gaze, Qiao Dehou turned to look at her, showing a smile.
However, when his gaze landed on Fu Nancheng beside her, his eyebrows furrowed slightly.
Quickly, he retracted his gaze and was led out of the court.
Not far beyond, he encountered Shen Ling, and his gaze turned icy: "Shen Ling, it was your people who committed the murder, wasn’t it?"
Shen Ling remained graceful, in stark contrast to Qiao Dehou.
But his gaze never matched Qiao Dehou’s frankness: "Brother Qiao, I cannot agree with such words. I have no grievance with that person, why would I take his life?"
"On the day I am released, I will make the Shen family pay!" There was a chill in Qiao Dehou’s eyes.
Shen Ling, unhurried, replied elegantly: "No, no, no, by then you would just be a stray dog, what would you fight me with? Do you really think that after a few years, the Qiao family will still be as it was?"
Qiao Dehou was unfazed: "I don’t know if the Qiao family will still be around, but I do know that your wife’s *** is indeed sizeable, and that red mole on her backside is truly captivating! With her helping me, who knows if by then the Shen family might change their surname to Qiao! Hahaha!"
Qiao Dehou left with a hearty laugh, leaving Shen Ling’s face grim and sinister.
