Crazy, You Call This a Trainee Lawyer

(I was thinking of putting it on for another day on the weekend, but when I thought about the kind and friendly readers, I might send some souvenirs to the author, the author suddenly realized that I still have to work overtime on weekends to update the codes for the gentlemen. ~)

...

Friday afternoon.

Zhang Wei has seen what it means to be busy.

Both Li Yueqin and Lin Yumeng were preparing the case, one was looking through various documents and public evidence, and the other was staring at a pile of documents in a daze.

And Jin Mingming was even more outrageous, pestering Tie Ruyun to ask questions, he would say "team leader, how should we deal with this?" every three to five minutes.

In the first case, everyone was nervous, and Zhang Wei could understand it.

Thinking back to his first case back then, he was also extremely nervous, and even stayed up until two or three in the morning alone, just to simulate the questioning during the trial.

In the end, of course, he lost the case, to a seasoned prosecutor.

And the feeling of failure made him very unhappy.

That is to say, from the first case, he swore that he would never be defeated, and he must do his best to win!

And now, how long has it been since he lost the lawsuit last time?

20 years, 30 years?

"Zhang Wei, I have a question..."

It was Lin Yumeng's weak voice that interrupted Zhang Wei's meditation.

"Why don't you ask Lao Tie, he..."

Just as Zhang Wei wanted to reply, he saw Lao Tie being surrounded by Li Yueqin and Jin Mingming, looking like he really couldn't get away.

He looked at Lin Yumeng again, the cute girl was so wronged at the moment, she wanted to find Tie Ruyun, but she didn't dare to disturb him.

"Okay, I'll help you!"

Zhang Wei sighed helplessly, who told me that he likes to help others.

It's definitely not because the other party is a cute girl that he softens his heart, he just likes to help people!

"Come on, what questions do you have, about the case, or about something else?"

"It's a case!"

As Lin Yumeng said, she spread out a bunch of documents, and said in a daze, "Now I have taken over the case, but I don't know what to do?"

"Then start with the most basic. An excellent lawyer needs to meet the client as soon as he takes over the case."

"But it's a detention center, I'm a little scared..."

Lin Yumeng was instinctively scared when she heard that she was going to see the client.

As she said that, she turned her eyes to Zhang Wei as if asking for help.

"I know what you're thinking. Anyway, I won the lawsuit, and I'm fine now, but your nominal team leader is an old iron..."

Zhang Wei looked at Tie Ruyun who was being entangled by Li Yueqin and Jin Mingming.

"Forget it, let me walk with you!"

Zhang Wei had no choice but to signal Lin Yumeng to pick up the file.

It seems that someone is going to pay the cute girl to go to the detention center today.

"Mmm Good!"

Accompanied by Zhang Wei, Lin Yumeng was less afraid and began to pack up the documents.

"Old Tie, Sister Cuilan, I will accompany Xiaomeng to meet the client in the detention center, you guys keep busy!"

"Okay, I'll help you register attendance!" Tie Cuilan replied and started working.

Tie Ruyun looked back, wanting to say something, but stopped.

If Lin Yumeng went to see the client alone, he would naturally be worried.

But adding Zhang Wei is different. Judging by the way this kid won the lawsuit, he is obviously a veteran.

Although a law student who has just graduated cannot be a veteran, Tie Ruyun is very relieved about Zhang Wei's company.

The current him, on the contrary, is full of worries about Li Yueqin and Jin Mingming.

If these two go to court in their current state, it is estimated that they will lose in all likelihood.

...

detention facility.

Zhang Wei came once on Wednesday, and now again on Friday.

He and Lin Yumeng stood at the gate, not yet in.

"Xiaomeng, if you meet the client later, will you ask questions or should I ask questions?"

"How about you come..."

Lin Yumeng was still a little scared, and stood timidly beside Zhang Wei, faintly half a body behind.

"Okay, but after this calculation, don't you become my apprentice?"

"That's a good feeling, master!"

Lin Yumeng was not afraid of Zhang Wei. When Zhang Wei called her apprentice, she immediately called her master.

Zhang Wei's heart felt a little at ease when the cute girl said "Master".

"Okay, then it's settled, you will be my little apprentice from now on!"

"Okay, master!"

Seeing what Zhang Wei said, Lin Yumeng of course agreed, her little head clicked like a rattle.

"Hey, little lawyer, here we go again, why are there two people today!"

Seeing Zhang Wei reappearing, the uncle at the door hurriedly asked.

"Master, I will bring my apprentice here today!"

Zhang Wei smiled and took Lin Yumeng to say hello to the uncle.

"I still have a doll, but you young people don't come here often!"

The uncle made a joke with a smile and let the two go.

Zhang Wei is naturally very familiar with the detention center.

He even knows who is on guard here.

After they registered in front, they waited in the meeting room.

After a while, a bald man with tattoos all over his body and a fierce face walked in under the escort of the guards on duty.

"very scary!"

Seeing the person coming, Lin Yumeng almost covered her eyes in fright.

Because the person who came here was the bad guy that the teacher taught her when she was a child.

But in Zhang Wei's eyes, the person in front of him is nothing. At least the tattoo looks fierce, but it's not tasteful.

He speculated that although this person was from a mixed society, his status must not be high.

"Hello, is this Mr. Ying Qingli?" He greeted him with a smile.

"Are you my assigned lawyer?"

Seeing Zhang Wei and Zhang Wei, the man is Ying Qingli, so I don't want to be surprised.

He knew that the defense lawyers arranged by public welfare organizations were generally not fresh graduates from law school, or small lawyers who looked incompetent.

Seeing Zhang Wei's calm performance, Ying Qingli thought it was pretty good.

Ordinary young lawyers would tremble in fright if they saw themselves.

"We are the defense lawyers arranged by the Bar Association for you. Your case is a public interest case, so we will not charge you any lawyer fees. But you don't have to worry. As a lawyer, we will also provide you with the best legal Suggestion, now let us know the details of your arrest!"

After Ying Qingli sat down, he began to talk.

He was arrested at 10:14 on Monday night. At that time, he was hungry and was about to go out for supper, but he was arrested by members of the Wuxi Association on the way.

As for the reason for the arrest, it is naturally inexplicable, because he happened to appear near a robbery, and there was no other suspect nearby except him.

Therefore, with his vicious appearance, he became the prime suspect of the crime. He was controlled by the Wuxie's field staff on the spot, and he was also sent to the detention center.

Although he claimed to be innocent, armed investigators scoured the neighborhood and found no other suspects.

And coincidentally, the victim who was robbed testified against him, saying that the robber he saw at the time was Ying Qingli, and now he couldn't argue with it.

"You mean, you didn't rob the victim, but the other party testified against you?"

"Yes, I'm also baffled. Is it because I don't look like a good person?"

Ying Qingli looked depressed. He had been in the society a long time ago and left some criminal records, but that was all in the past.

He's already "benevolent" now.

"Then let me ask a question, what is your current occupation?"

"I drove for the former boss, he opened a financial company, and I was responsible for picking him up personally."

"That's weird!"

Zhang Wei poked Lin Yumeng who was standing aside with his elbow, who immediately understood and took out a document.

"You said that you worked as a driver in the former boss's company, so why does it say that you are unemployed?"

Zhang Wei had read this document before, and he still remembered the contents.

"Our boss's company is actually not registered. The financial business he does..."

"It's usury, isn't it?"

Seeing that Ying Qingli was a bit indescribable, Zhang Wei had already guessed it.

What else can a mixed society do for finance?

Isn't that just usury!

"Yes……"

Now that Zhang Wei pointed it out, Ying Qingli had no choice but to admit it.

"Good guy, are you still a good person?" Zhang Wei forced a word in his heart.

If you work as a driver for a loan shark company, you are not clean!

Zhang Wei winked at Lin Yumeng, this case is very difficult.

It's a pity that his little apprentice couldn't read it, and thought that Zhang Wei wanted the documents again, so he picked up the document bag.

Zhang Wei quickly pressed down the file bag, then looked at Ying Qingli.

"So your boss is not clean, so he didn't arrange a lawyer for you and asked you to go to a legal public welfare organization for help?"

"Lawyer, but am I innocent?"

"I know, but whether you are innocent or not is up to the jury to decide. And your criminal record, as well as the nature of your work, are demerits for you..."

Zhang Wei didn't continue talking, but the meaning was very clear, let the other party not have too much expectation.

"By the way, let me ask, do you live alone?"

"Yes, I have been hanging around with my elder brother before, and I have no chance to meet women. Even if I feel uncomfortable, I always go to the lady to solve it!"

"Understood, that means you live alone, and no one can provide you with an alibi for the robbery."

Zhang Wei feels that it is difficult. It is really difficult for Lin Yumeng to handle this case.

However, Zhang Wei felt that there must be some clues in this case to prove Ying Qingli's innocence.

"So, what is your request for the defense, is it a plea of ​​not guilty, or plead guilty and consider reducing the sentence as appropriate?"

As Zhang Wei said, Ying Qingli did not ask Ying Qingli to answer immediately, but reminded the other party: "Let me tell you first, the testimony of witnesses is very unfavorable to you, and your criminal record will also give the jury a bad opinion of you. If you plead not guilty and lose the case, you are likely to spend more than 3 years on the charge of armed robbery, and if you open your case, the maximum sentence will be extended to 5 years or even 10 years, do you think clearly?"

Hearing Zhang Wei's words, Ying Qingli's expression changed.

"So the lawyer, if the sentence is reduced as appropriate, how many years will he be in?"

"Do you have relatives in the East?"

"No."

Ying Qingli shook his head, and Zhang Wei was also helpless.

They have no relatives in the east, and they drive for a loan shark company. There is no reason for a reduction in sentence.

Zhang Wei had no choice but to go the other way since the family of the person involved couldn't get through this level.

"Xiaomeng, I remember this case was prosecuted by the local prosecutor's headquarters, who is the presiding prosecutor?"

"Oh, let me take a look, it's the prosecutor from the Serious Crimes Division of the District Prosecutor's Headquarters... called Tan Yingying..."

"What, Tan Yingying!"

Hearing this name, Zhang Wei was stunned.

Isn't Tan Yingying from the Misdemeanor Division? Why did she go to the Felony Division?

Will she be transferred after the next year?

But after hearing the name, Zhang Wei knew it.

"Mr. Ying, since this is the case, then I have thought of a compromise. Are you willing to entrust the case to us?"

"Let me make an agreement with you first. Later, I will go to the chief prosecutor of this case to meet with the chief public prosecutor at the headquarters of the Eastern Metropolis Procuratorate, and discuss the transaction content with her. Although I believe that you have not committed a crime, but considering the risks of this case, if you are willing to plead guilty , How many years can you accept it?"

After Zhang Weiyu explained earnestly, he looked at Ying Qingli.

This case can be fought, but sometimes it is not necessary to fight, mainly depending on the risk.

Ying Qingli's criminal record is the risk of this case, and he himself can't provide an alibi. Generally, any lawyer will persuade the other party to plead guilty, and Zhang Wei is no exception.

This is like a multiple-choice question. If you plead guilty, you will be imprisoned for 100% for 3 years; but if you do not plead guilty and choose acquittal, you will have a 90% chance of being imprisoned for 5-10 years, and a 10% chance of being acquitted.

This is the question of Ying Qingli's choice.

"Lawyer, three years is too much. I'm almost 30 years old. If I go in again, the boss may not want me anymore!"

"What if it is 1-2 years, do you consider it?"

"1-2 years, I can consider 1 year, and I think 2 years is too much, and I am really innocent!"

It has to be said that the proposal of one year really moved Ying Qingli a little bit.

"Well, 1 year is your limit. If I can convince the prosecution to reduce the sentence to 1 year, then we will plead guilty directly. But if I can't convince the prosecution, then I will help you defend your innocence. Is that okay? ?”

Ying Qingli hesitated for a long time, and finally nodded.

A few minutes later, at the gate of the detention center.

"Master, you are so amazing, you can actually bargain with such a bad person."

After the two came out, Lin Yumeng was full of admiration for Zhang Wei.

"Xiaomeng, didn't you realize that he is not a bad person, he is innocent. In his eyes, I only saw unwillingness to be accused of unnecessary crimes, and remorse for previous criminal convictions, that's all ..."

For the little apprentice, Zhang Wei patiently educated him.

"Oh, is he innocent?"

Lin Yumeng said that she didn't see it at all.

"This is your first lesson. Never judge people by their cover. Do you think Big Big Wolf is a bad guy? Do you think all the sheep in Qingqing Grassland are good guys? It's not too one-sided to look at people."

"Okay, I get it now……"

The little apprentice nodded, quickly took out his notebook and started recording.

"Let's go, we're going to the local prosecutor's headquarters next, to meet the prosecutor of this case, Prosecutor Tan Yingying from our felony division!"

...

Dongfangdu, the headquarters of the prefectural prosecutor.

This was Zhang Wei's first visit to the local prosecutor's headquarters after the year. Unfortunately, it was not his own case, but that of his young apprentice Lin Yumeng.

He took Lin Yumeng to the second floor of the local prosecutor's headquarters, outside the office of the felony division.

"Zhang Wei, why are you here!"

Just when Zhang Wei was about to walk in, he heard a stern voice.

"So it's Xiao Baihe, hello!"

Hearing the voice, Zhang Wei knew who it was.

Xiao Baihe was wearing a professional attire with her waist down, staring at Zhang Wei with a cold face.

"You're a scumbag, you're capable, it's only been a few days, and you hooked up with another one?"

When she saw the cute girl Lin Yumeng, she thought to herself that she was indeed a scumbag, Xia Qianyue was really blind when she saw him.

"Xiao Baihe, you can't insult people's innocence out of thin air, this is a young apprentice from my law firm."

Zhang Wei quickly defended himself, and then introduced the two of them.

"Xiaomeng, this is Xiao Baihe, the ace of the felony division of the local prosecutor's headquarters."

"Xiao Baihe, this is Lin Yumeng, a colleague from my law firm. She and I are in the same period of the criminal team. Our team leader is busy, so I will take her!"

Lin Yumeng nodded after hearing this, and greeted Xiao Baihe: "Hello, my name is Lin Yumeng, and I am a new lawyer in the criminal department of our law firm. Please take care of me!"

"Have you joined the law firm?"

Xiao Baihe ignored Lin Yumeng's greeting, this girl looked like a pure newcomer, she didn't understand anything.

What she cared more about was Zhang Wei's joining the law firm.

"That's right, the criminal team of the Litigation Department of Jincheng Law Firm, our team leader is Tie Ruyun."

"Jincheng Law Firm!"

Even Xiao Baihe was a little surprised to hear that Zhang Wei had joined Jincheng, which was ranked No. 1 in the top ten industries.

One Zhang Wei is difficult enough, if there is Jin Cheng's support behind him, then the difficulty of the other party will be multiplied.

"You came here for your own case?"

"You misunderstood, I'm helping the little apprentice today!"

Zhang Wei pushed Lin Yumeng out and asked, "Is Prosecutor Tan Yingying here? We're here to find her."

"It's Yingying's case again, and you have a fateful conflict with her?"

Xiao Baihe was speechless. Tan Yingying had just been transferred to the felony division and ran into Zhang Wei again. Did she go out and step on shit?

"Yingying, someone is looking for you!"

Xiao Baihe was helpless, but still helped Zhang Wei in and passed a word.

Tan Yingying walked out immediately, but after seeing Zhang Wei standing at the door, she said "ah" and retreated into the office.

The fear that Zhang Wei gave her at the beginning was still too great after all.

A few minutes later, the tea room.

Zhang Wei led Lin Yumeng, and Xiao Baihe led Tan Yingying, facing each other at a table for four.

Although the public prosecutor was Tan Yingying and the defense lawyer was Lin Yumeng, they were not the ones talking.

"Are you here for Qingli's case?"

"Yes, you have only one witness, and the incident happened at night, so I can raise reasonable doubts."

"Are you joking? Ying Qingli has three criminal records. The location of the robbery was an underground parking lot with plenty of light, and I have witnesses to testify!"

"But my client is innocent, you don't really want me to be serious, do you?"

"You think I'm afraid of you!"

Zhang Wei and Xiao Baihe, separated by a small table at the moment, were facing each other tit for tat, even more aggressively.

Tan Yingying and Lin Yumeng stared blankly at the two who were fighting with each other, and didn't know how to interrupt for a while.

This feeling is like a teacher arguing to teach students, and the students can only watch from the sidelines, but dare not say a word.

Fortunately, Zhang Wei finally restrained himself and said the conditions.

"3 years, 2 of which will be suspended. Our client pleaded guilty. This is the condition I gave for your face, Xiao Baihe!"

"An armed robbery prisoner, but only served one year in prison, you really dare to speak loudly, and when will I, Xiao Baihe, need you, Zhang Wei, to save face!"

"That's nothing to talk about. You have to know that if we win the case, he won't have to sit in jail for a day!"

"Then you have to win the case. We have the advantage in this case!"

"The last prosecutor of the District Prosecutor's Headquarters who talked to me like this was Huang Fang, and the last one was Wang Can!"

Hearing Zhang Wei mention these two names, Xiao Baihe's eyes soared with two spirits.

And Zhang Wei, ignoring the threatening gaze of the woman in front of him, still refused to budge.
