Gu pled guilty to murder, however, in an attempt to plea insanity, her lawyer made three statements to the defense. One was that Gu Kailai rendered major meritous services by revealing others' crimes. So, whose crimes did Gu Kailai expose? According to reports, Guo Weixiong, the former deputy director of the Chongqing Public Security Bureau, Li Yang, the former chief captain of the Interpol Corps of Chongqing Public Security Bureau, Wang Pengfei, the former chief of the Yubei District Public Security Branch Bureau, and Wang Zhi, the former executive deputy of Shapingba District Public Security Branch Bureau were sued by Hefei People's Procuratorate for the crime of favoritism. They are suspected of protecting Gu Kailai during the Neil Heywood murder investigation. Heated discussion led the public to wonder whether the aforementioned officials are the ones Gu Kailai exposed in court. Chen Pokong, a political critic, said that on one hand, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) painted Gu Kailai as guilty, but on the other hand, it also attempted to lessen her guilt. Her economic crimes were not mentioned in court. On her criminal charge, the defense claimed that during Gu's performance, she rendered a major meritous service. Chen Pokong: "Four senior police officers were sued for favoritism because they attempted to protect her by concealing her murder of a British businessman. If she performed a major meritous service, then no one is guilty. Those protective actions were generated by the murder. I can't believe that exposing these 4 senior police officers is Gu Kailai's meritous service. She must have exposed other officials." The British "Daily Telegraph" reported on August 3, that the decision of Gu Kailai's trail had already been decided before the case was handed to the Hefei court. Jiang Weiping, a former reporter of "Wen Hui Newspaper," told overseas media that the open hearing of Gu Kailai's case may reveal facts of the infighting between CCP's senior leadership. Gu Kailai wants to survive, and then she must have had some meritous performance, meaning she exposed others. Then she must have exposed the corruption of Bo Xilai, including whether or not Bo Xilai knew the murder of Neil Heywood. Before was arrested, Gu Kailai revealed the political coup Zhou Yongkang and Bo Xilai were planning to stage against Xi Jinping. She confessed that she was the messenger between Bo Xilai and Zhou Yongkang, and that Zhou Yongkang was aware of her doings. The Epoch Times News Network disclosed that Gu Kailai and Neil Heywood co-founded a company in the UK , which sold Chinese bodies and organs overseas. It's said that the Bo Xilai's family funneled many assets worth at least 6 billion US dollars out of China. Chen Yongmiao, a Chinese constitutional scholar: "8 billion US dollars is a big number. Only an event like a coup, establishing a nation or seizing power needed 8 billion USD. Maybe Bo Xilai thought Heywood was politically involved, and Gu Kailai killed him to avoid his leaking information. I think the CCP's higher leaders don't want to expose Bo Xilai's plan to the public, so they separated the case into two trials." Chen Pokong said Gu Kailai participated in live organ harvesting of Falun Gong practitioners for profit. Her crimes can't be measured. Especially under the CCP system which uses rule of man rather than the rule of law, it's impossible that the authority traced the case to this level." Chen Pokong: " The cases of persecution of Falun Gong practitioners are especially terrible cases. It's very possible that Bo Xilai and his wife Gu Kailai did the live harvesting and body trade for profit. Their crimes are too large to measure. But we saw in the trial that the court didn't mention their economic crimes, and are only touching on a small bit of their surface crimes." The U.S. "Washington Post" reported that the court showed evidence which was said to be an email that from Heywood to Bo Guagua, the son of Bo Xilai and Gu Kailai. In the email, Heywood warned Bo Guagua that he would be destroyed if he didn't pay the money. But there's not enough evidence to prove that the email is written by Heywood. Chen Pokong said Heywood didn't have reason to threaten Bo Guagua for money, because he could have acquired enough money by exposing the economic scandal of the family of Bo Xilai and Gu Kailai. 《神韵》2011世界巡演新亮点 http://www.ShenYunPerformingArts.org/
