According to the indictment, the reason why Bogu Kailai wanted to poison Neil Wood was because the two parties had "conflicts in economic interests. Bogu Kailai believed that Neil Wood threatened his son's personal safety." The question is what kind of economic interest dispute caused Bogu Kailai to make such a judgment? If it is a dispute over financial interests, why can't it be resolved through the courts? Doesn’t Bogu Kailai have the confidence to control the verdict with his power?

Bogu Kailai said in his testimony: "At noon on November 14 (2011), Wang Lijun came to Building No. 3 (Bogu Kailai's residence). After meeting Wang Lijun that day, I told him in detail how I went to see Neil and carried out the poisoning on the night of the 13th." Why did Bogu Kailai take the initiative to tell Wang Lijun about this? Because Bogu Kailai was already "very angry with Wang Lijun" as early as August 12, 2011, which shows that the relationship between the two parties had already cracked three months before the "11.15 case". In this case, why did Bogu Kailai take the initiative to tell Wang Lijun about the matter and let a person he no longer trusts cover it up? What caused problems in the originally good relationship between the two parties?

According to the indictment, "On December 14, 2011, Bogu Kailai held a special banquet for Li Yang, Wang Pengfei, Wang Zhi and others who participated in the processing of the 11.5 case and covered up the murder for him." For this reason, Wang Lijun "scolded Wang Zhi and Wang Pengfei." Why did Wang Lijun scold several people? Why did Bogu Kailai "change his face" with Wang over this?

According to the indictment, "At the end of December 2011, four staff members around Wang Lijun were illegally censored. The conflict between Wang Lijun and Bo Gu Kailai became increasingly serious." Why did the censorship of staff around Wang lead to "increasing conflicts between Wang Lijun and Bo Gu Kailai"?

According to the indictment, "On February 2, 2012, Wang Lijun's division of labor as deputy mayor of Chongqing was adjusted and he no longer concurrently served as director of the Chongqing Municipal Public Security Bureau...Wang Lijun felt that he was in danger and had the idea of ​​defecting." Why did Wang feel "that he was in danger and thought of defecting" after his position was adjusted to deputy mayor? Even if it is "rising overtly and descending secretly", after all, he still has the power and authority. From the king's perspective, is it necessary for him to make such a move?

During the Cold War, government officials in the Soviet Union, especially KGB officials, often defected due to failure in the power struggle. However, it was also a failure in the power struggle. Why did officials from the United States and Western countries rarely defect because of this?

Officials in the vortex of power actually know the answer best.
