Chapter 163 The truth comes out (2)
"You are so unrepentant that you deceive us again and again and treat us as fools and make fun of us at will. This is really intolerable!" Someone in the crowd shouted angrily.
"What's particularly hateful is that not only do you protect those who do evil, but you also slander kind and innocent people. Has your conscience been eaten by a dog?" another person asked indignantly.
"Also, is there any real evidence for everything you said just now? You are not trying to fool us again with your old tricks!" Amid the indignant accusations and condemnations of the crowd, a voice suddenly came.
In an instant, the noisy scene suddenly became quiet, and everyone looked in the direction of the question. The speaker was a tall and thin male reporter wearing a pair of black-framed glasses.
The tall and thin reporter was obviously quite proud of himself for successfully attracting everyone's attention, so he deliberately raised his voice and said: "In my opinion, what Lu Jinghai said now is no longer credible. After all, he has deceived us many times before. We must not trust him again, lest we fall into his carefully woven trap again!"
However, the people present did not know that this tall and thin reporter who seemed to be righteous had actually been secretly bribed by Zhang Guohua.
Everyone finally came to their senses and the place exploded with everyone whispering and talking at once.
"That's right! He's absolutely right. We can't continue to be fooled by that guy!" someone shouted indignantly.
Another person pointed the finger directly at the person who was speaking: "You keep saying that Zhang Guohua was the one who accepted the bribe, but where is your evidence? No one can believe your empty words!"
Someone else questioned with a suspicious look on his face: "One moment you say Zhang Guohua framed his friend, and the next moment you say this nonsense. Why don't you show us some solid evidence? Do you think we should just believe you just because you said a few random words?"
At this time, a tall and thin reporter stood up in the crowd and asked sharply, "Earlier you swore solemnly that Mu Kaiyuan had never taken your money, but not long after, you changed your words and said that Mu Kaiyuan had taken your money. Now, it turns out that it was Zhang Guohua who took your money. According to this statement, are you going to say tomorrow that it was actually another official who took your money?"
Facing the doubts and accusations of the crowd, Lu Jinghai was so anxious that his face turned red and his forehead was sweating. In fact, he could not produce any strong evidence of Zhang Guohua's bribery, because he had always been careful to collect the money through others to conceal his tracks.
Just when Lu Jinghai was at a loss, Dai Qin, who was standing beside him, hurriedly said: "I happened to be there when Zhang Guohua's housekeeper came to see Jinghai. I can testify for him!" However, whether her words can calm the public anger and make people believe that what Lu Jinghai said is true is still an unknown.
The tall, slightly skinny reporter spoke again, "You two are husband and wife, and you may have colluded with each other in private, so your testimony is really hard to believe!"
At this moment, a deep and powerful voice suddenly came from outside the crowd: "I have solid evidence to prove that everything Lu Jinghai said is true!"
Everyone turned their heads to see who was speaking. Wang Kui walked slowly towards them with steady and powerful steps. The onlookers spontaneously made way for him through a narrow passage.
Wang Kui walked straight to the many reporters, raised his voice and said loudly: "Hello, media friends, I am Wang Kui, the chief of staff of the army. Here is an anonymous letter that reported Mu Kaiyuan's involvement in organized crime. Although the handwriting on this letter has been changed, you have to know that a person's writing habits developed over the years cannot be easily concealed. For this reason, I specially invited experts in related fields to conduct a detailed comparison, and finally confirmed that this letter was indeed written by Zhang Guohua!"
As soon as the words fell, the audience exploded, and there was an uproar. Someone couldn't help but sigh: "I never thought that this was actually done by Zhang Guohua!"
Some people were filled with righteous indignation and accused: "It is true that you can never judge a person by his appearance. Zhang Guohua is too sinister and cunning. He even did not let go of his best friend and cruelly framed him!"
"The key point is that he was the one who accepted the bribe! I don't know where he got the nerve to throw this dirty water on others. He is so shameless!" someone said indignantly.
"If a guy with such a black heart is allowed to take the position of Secretary General, how can the people live a peaceful life? All the engineering projects in the future will probably become shoddy projects that can withstand no attack!" Another person stomped his feet in anger and shouted angrily.
At this time, the tall and thin reporter spoke again: "Even if this letter of complaint was indeed written by Zhang Guohua, at best he was only reporting and exposing his friend. To some extent, this may be considered an act of sacrificing one's own family for the sake of justice. However, there is currently no conclusive evidence to prove that Zhang Guohua himself accepted bribes, let alone that he colluded with Lu Jinghai to deliberately frame Mu Kaiyuan."
Wang Kui nodded slightly to show his agreement, then he turned his gaze to the tall and thin reporter, his face calm and composed, and responded in an orderly manner: "You are absolutely right. In fact, this matter was originally an internal matter of the army, and it was not planned to be made public at first. But now that things have come to this, the situation has developed to this point, and we certainly cannot sit idly by and let Mu Kaiyuan continue to suffer unwarranted slander from everyone."
Wang Kui paused here, then held up the document in his hand and said, "This is the data from our internal investigation. It shows that Zhang Guohua accepted bribes of up to 20 million yuan in two years. We haven't made other cases public until we have thoroughly investigated them, but we can show everyone the data from our investigation into Lu Jinghai's case."
Zhang Guohua looked at the magnified files on the TV screen, his eyes filled with panic and despair. He collapsed on the sofa, muttering, "It's over, it's all over. How could this happen? I had everything planned out, why did this happen?"
Mu Xuefei and Gu Qingping in the hospital were watching the news and were crying with joy.
They have been staying in the hospital ward these days, not daring to go out. Even if they occasionally go out to get some water, they will be pointed at and criticized by everyone.
Even the doctors and nurses who came to check on them didn't treat them well.
Fortunately, my cousin came these two days and found the director of the hospital, which made the doctors and nurses calm down a little. Now that my father is certain that he was framed, I definitely can't let them go easily.
