Dark sugar is hard to prevent

Chapter 570

In the dark, the blue light of the mobile phone screen is extremely dazzling.

"Who is it?" Tang Xien woke up.

Fu Shiyu patted her on the back a few times: "You continue to sleep, I'll go out and answer the phone."

He picked up his mobile phone and went out. Tang Xien lay in bed for a while in a daze, got up and put on his nightgown, and followed him out.

There was only one floor lamp on in the living room, and the environment was dim and dim. Fu Shiyu stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows with his muscular upper body naked.The night view of Los Angeles outside the window was like an upside-down star, and the colorful starlight reflected on his resolute and deep face, making his serious expression even more obscure.

At this moment, he was resting on the glass with one hand, holding the mobile phone in the other, frowning with thick eyebrows, listening to the phone quietly.

Tang Xi'en walked over gently and sat down on the sofa.

After talking on the other end of the phone for a long time, Fu Shiyu didn't say a word, and finally hung up the phone, and stood there thinking about things quietly for a while.But he quickly came back to his senses, went to the sofa and hugged Tang Xien, bowed his head and kissed her: "Sleep."

Tang Xi'en looked up at him, and found that his expression was a little more serious, and he was obviously in a good mood when he came back tonight.

She pressed her face back to his chest, put her hands on his waist, and sighed inaudibly.

The two of them lay back on the bed, neither sleepy anymore.

Tang Xi'en nestled in Fu Shiyu's arms, holding him, while he held her body with one hand, and put his other hand behind his head, staring at the void and thinking about things.

Before Tang Xi'en could ask, he said it himself: "We found the woman in my father's room."

"Ah?" Tang Xi'en was startled, and raised his head from his embrace, "What night did the crime happen?"

Fu Shiyu closed his eyes and nodded.

Tang Xi'en saw his weakness, and asked cautiously, "...Who is it?"

"Mrs. Ambassador."

Tang Xi'en was speechless for a while, and had no intention of nestling in Fu Shiyu's arms to keep warm, so he sat up in a few moments.

Fu Shiyu helped her raise the pillow behind her and put it on her lower back, then sat a little closer to her, and took her into his arms again.

"It's no wonder your father never revealed who that woman is, and would rather take risks than let us ask the other party to testify in court." Tang Xi'en still finds it inconceivable, "Because it is impossible for that person to testify in court for him."

But she also thought that after the trial ended today, Fu Zhengye told her that there were some things that Fu Shiyu and Liang Shuyi should not know about.

Tang Xi'en was not very clear about what Fu Zhengye was thinking.

She held Fu Shiyu in her arms, thinking about how to comfort him, after much deliberation, she didn't know how to solve this kind of thing, so she asked: "The ambassador probably doesn't know about this, right?"

Fu Shiyu shook his head: "I probably don't know. I heard that my father and the other wife's relationship is very secret. For example, this time, I will choose that hotel for a tryst."

"How did your father know the ambassador's wife?"

"My dad and the ambassador are friends."

"Friend's wife..." Tang Xi'en couldn't say any more.

Fu Shiyu was also silent.

Tang Xi'en didn't ask Fu Shiyu how he found out about this matter. She thought that if Fu Shiyu wanted to know something, there should be a way.

In fact, she had many questions in her mind. Why did Fu Zhengye ask the ambassador's wife to have a date in the room that night, and why would he have intimate things with the victim in the men's bathroom after eight o'clock?

Fu Zhengye cheated on two people this time, not just one.It's scary to think about it. If Liang Shuyi finds out, they don't know what to do...

……

Early the next morning, Tang Xi'en and the chief lawyer went to see Fu Zhengye and asked him if he would accept the prosecution's suggestion to plead guilty in exchange for a lighter sentence. Fu Zhengye asked them what their winning rate was.

"50%," Tang Xien said, "the jury's thoughts are uncontrollable. We have tried our best in the trial, and the rest can only be left to luck."

Fu Zhengye nodded: "Then I'll take a gamble!"

Since they still had to go to the prosecutor's office, Tang Xi'en and his party left quickly.After negotiating with the prosecution, the prosecution is responsible for notifying the judge, and the trial will continue in the afternoon.

The defense applied to summon the victim's ex-boyfriend, the current boyfriend of the victim's roommate, to testify in court.

The prosecution objected to calling this witness, thinking it had nothing to do with the case, but the defense provided screenshots of the video of the victim’s ex-boyfriend entering and leaving the hotel on the night of the incident, and the judge agreed.

Witnesses take the witness stand.

Tang Xi'en looked at the other party carefully. He was a tall and strong European, and he was looking at Fu Zhengye with a very angry expression.

No matter how she looked at it, she felt that this man had a fierce look in his eyes.

After the prosecution's routine questioning, the defense questioned witnesses.

Tang Xi'en got up and walked in front of the witness. With a smile on his face, he asked coldly, "From 2023:1 p.m. to 17:9 a.m. on January 2, [-], where were you?"

Witness: "Forgot."

The judge glanced at the witness and said in a serious tone, "Witness, please answer!"

Tang Xien repeated the question again.

The witness said this time: "Sleeping at home."

Tang Xien picked up the remote control and played a video clip on the electronic screen to remind the witnesses to watch.The witness, however, was unwilling to turn his head to look at the screen, and kept staring at Fu Zhengye.

Tang Xi'en: "Witness, is it you who entered the hotel gate at nine o'clock on the night of the incident?"

The witnesses did not speak.

The judge reminds the witness to answer.

Witness: "...I went to get something from Carly and left the hotel quickly."

Tang Xien: "What time do you leave the hotel?"

Witness: "...09:30."

A video appeared on the electronic screen again, showing that the correct time when the other party left the hotel should be 2:10 in the morning.

Tang Xien: "Witness, please tell everyone, during the four hours when the victim in this case was tortured, you happened to be in the hotel. What were you doing?"

There was an uproar.

The witnesses did not speak.

Tang Xi'en emphasized again, loud and clear: "On the night of the incident, during the four hours when the victim was raped and beaten, the witness was in the hotel! And in yesterday's court trial, it has been proved that the victim in this case cannot enter the defendant at the time of the incident. The room of the crime scene, which is the so-called crime scene! Who did the victim meet with during those four hours, who beat the victim, and where is the real crime scene? I hope the prosecutors can give us a clue after the re-investigation and evidence collection. statement!"

The jurors bowed their heads for the record.

Tang Xi'en returned to his seat, the witness was taken out of the court, and the police were already waiting for him outside.

The judge blew the gavel and announced closing arguments for both the prosecution and the defense.

The lead lawyer was in charge of the closing statement, and Tang Xien listened quietly.

In the end, the jurors retired to discuss, Fu Zhengye was taken away again, and Tang Xien and the chief lawyer went back to the law firm to wait for the result.

Everyone was waiting nervously at the law firm, secretly praying that the jury result would not come out so soon, because the sooner the result comes out, the higher the possibility of being convicted, and vice versa.

In the evening, the court called and said the jury had reached a conclusion.

　There is also a monthly ticket plus change.
