Crazy, You Call This a Trainee Lawyer

Wednesday.

2 p.m.

Municipal Court, small court.

After Li Yueqin's lawsuit yesterday, now it's Jin Mingming's turn.

As a member of the criminal team, although Jin Mingming had a bad attitude, Zhang Wei and others still came to support him.

Li Yueqin also learned from Lin Yumeng, taking notes in the hearing booth with a small notebook.

Especially during the opening statement stage, she remembered every statement made by the prosecution and every statement made by the witnesses.

Seeing Li Yueqin's serious appearance, Tie Ruyun was very relieved.

Then he looked to the next door, and saw that Zhang Wei was already yawning boredly.

"This Jin Mingming's performance is not as good as Li Yueqin's!"

Zhang Wei sighed, although he really wanted to sleep, but he still held back.

Jin Mingming not only performed poorly in the trial, but also did not do as much homework as Li Yueqin.

After the prosecution asked the witness to state the defendant's crimes, Zhang Weineng saw Jin Mingming's expression in shock, as if he had no idea about these statements.

In the subsequent cross-examination and cross-examination, and the defense's speech, Jin Mingming suffered a crushing defeat.

He was refuted by the public prosecutor so much that he couldn't speak clearly.

"Looking at it this way, Li Yueqin's performance is quite good!"

Seeing Jin Mingming's anxious expression in the court, Zhang Wei sighed.

There is no harm if there is no comparison, at least Li Yueqin can still speak after going to court, but Jin Mingming dare not even speak, how poor is his performance.

Jin Mingming looked at Tie Ruyun in the hearing seat as if asking for help, but the latter just shook his head.

Before the trial, Jin Mingming strongly asked Tie Ruyun to be the second lawyer, but Lao Tie refused.

"Li Yueqin dared to go to court alone. As a boy, why are you so cowardly?"

"This time, all of you have to go to court alone. Only if you survive this test, even if you lose the lawsuit, it will be a huge improvement for you!"

"You don't need to think about the client for the time being. I've seen the case. They've been sentenced to a few years in prison at most, and their foundation is not clean. Going to jail will count as helping them. Don't have any psychological burden!"

These are the exact words Tie Ruyun said when he refused.

Although Zhang Wei has some doubts about the last one.

Because Lin Yumeng's client, Ying Qingli, was probably wronged.

However, these have nothing to do with the current trial. Zhang Wei has also seen Jin Mingming's case. The client is a QJ criminal and has a criminal record of obscenity.

Sure enough, at six o'clock in the afternoon, the results of the quick trial came out.

"...After deliberation by the jury, the defendant was found guilty of compulsory indecency and sentenced to 25 months in prison, with no parole for 15 months!"

Hearing this result, Zhang Wei was not surprised at all.

The same is true for Tie Ruyun at the side.

"The evidence provided by the prosecution is so much that we have almost no chance of winning!"

Tie Ruyun analyzed a sentence, but still walked towards Jin Mingming, and hurriedly comforted him.

It's a pity that the latter didn't appreciate it at all, and his face was very bad after losing the lawsuit.

He glanced at Zhang Wei and the others, and left the court with a displeased face.

Zhang Wei didn't care about Jin Mingming's attitude at all.

"Xiaomeng, are you under any pressure?" What he cared about was naturally his little apprentice.

"Master, I'm under a lot of pressure!" The latter looked terrified.

"That's fine, tomorrow Thursday, I'll simulate it for you again, and wait for the court session on Friday morning, and try to let you know it!"

"Okay, thank you master!"

Lin Yumeng was very moved to see that Zhang Wei decided to help him conduct a one-day mock trial.

Everyone in the criminal team returned to the lawyers and got off work.

Then, all day on Thursday, Zhang Wei helped Lin Yumeng simulate the court trial. He asked a lot of tricky questions, and as a public prosecutor, he imitated his performance in court to put pressure on Lin Yumeng.

Although Lin Yumeng looked a little silly, she was not stupid, otherwise she would not have successfully graduated from Jinnan University's law school and joined Jincheng Law Firm.

This girl has a good attitude and is diligent and motivated. She tries to record all Zhang Wei's questions and will review them when she goes back.

Zhang Wei is also very satisfied with the little apprentice's efforts, and is looking forward to the trial on Friday.

After get off work, Zhang Wei returned to the Lin Mansion again, and saw Zhao Xiaoxiao as soon as he entered the door.

"Here, here's the background check you asked me to do!"

This girl was waiting for Zhang Wei.

"Thank you, second girl, you are really my father's confidant little padded jacket!"

"roll!"

Seeing that Zhang Wei started to take advantage again, Zhao Xiaoxiao immediately "broke" a sentence.

"I'm not helping you in vain. I want to eat boiled mutton at night, and you have to help me clean the room on weekends!"

"Okay, I will do whatever the second girl says!"

Zhang Wei smiled and agreed.

In the evening, he went to the commercial street to buy a charcoal hot pot, and cooked mutton for Zhao Xiaoxiao himself.

The second girl was very satisfied with the food, and Zhang Wei was also very happy.

In the evening, Zhang Wei's room.

He began to check the documents provided by Zhao Xiaoxiao, which were records about Wang Tianmeng and his subordinates, Ge Qingxiong and Ying Qingli, and of course the prosecution witness.

Documents and records include their financial records, travel records, and even property information under the names of Wang Tianmeng's relatives and friends.

Zhang Wei flipped through it again and again, reviewing it again and again, his brows gradually frowned.

He opened the laptop, created a new folder, put all the backup files into it, and then made a mind map with a table, and began to analyze it step by step.

In this way, the night passed.

...

Friday.

The opening day of the Ying Qingli case.

Lin Yumeng arrived at the gate of the city court early in the morning, and like Li Yueqin, she was extremely nervous.

"What to do, what to do, the master hasn't come yet!"

"I'm still a little scared. The opponent is not the local prosecutor's office, but the local prosecutor's headquarters."

"I heard that the headquarters of the local prosecutor's office eats people and doesn't spit out bones. Will I be eaten?"

Fortunately, Zhang Wei didn't come. If he heard Lin Yumeng's thoughts, he probably couldn't help complaining again.

Those guys who "eat people without spitting out their bones" were defeated by him three times!

Tie Ruyun and Li Yueqin stood aside, accompanying Lin Yumeng.

"Lin Yumeng, you should take a deep breath, which will help relieve your tension. Also, don't be burdened. I have also read your case. The witness's testimony is very unfavorable to the client. It can almost be said to be evidence of conviction. , you won’t be surprised even if you lose the lawsuit.”

"Yeah, your performance is already very good. Unless you are that guy Zhang Wei, if you can ask questions in court for the first time, you will be considered a success!"

Tie Ruyun and Li Yueqin also spoke appropriately to comfort them.

For them, once Lin Yumeng goes to court, as long as she can ask questions smoothly and persist until the end of the trial without stage fright, it will be considered a success!

"Old Tie, Xiao Li, why do you two have so little confidence in my little apprentice?"

At this moment, Zhang Wei came.

He heard the "comforting" words from Tie Ruyun and Li Yueqin from a long distance away.

However, these words were particularly harsh in Zhang Wei's ears.

"Master, you are here!"

Seeing Zhang Wei appear, Lin Yumeng seemed to have found the backbone, and immediately ran up bouncing up.

"Alright, little apprentice, how could I, as a master, not come to see your court trial!"

In fact, apart from Jin Mingming, an "outsider", and Tie Cuilan, who had to sit in the office, the criminal team also came today.

"Xiaomeng, this is for you!"

Zhang Wei handed a stack of papers to Lin Yumeng!

"what is this?"

"This is something you may need to use when the court is held later. It's still early, so hurry up and have a look!"

Zhang Wei urged Lin Yumeng to go to the preparation room first.

As for Ying Qingli, he was there.

Lin Yumeng ran into the city court with a nervous expression, while Zhang Wei chatted with Tie Ruyun and others at the door while waiting for the client to arrive.

Not enough to wait for a while, the client did not arrive, but the prosecutor did.

Tan Yingying was Xiao Baihe's little follower, and she still had a "gambling contract", so the two also attended the scene together.

"Zhang Wei, it's quite early."

Seeing Zhang Wei, Xiao Baihe came over to say hello, but her voice was very cold.

"You're not too slow. Prosecutor Xiao, who hasn't seen us for a few days, is so pretty!"

Seeing Xiao Baihe, Zhang Wei couldn't help but tease her.

"Get out, you're not serious, today is the court day!"

"It's not our case today. Aren't you and I sitting in the hearing booth?"

Faced with Xiao Baihe's questioning, Zhang Wei spread his hands with a strange expression.

This guy has a thick skin!

Xiao Baihe's face-to-face defense against Zhang Wei is really helpless.

"Okay, let's see how your little apprentice behaves. Yingying will definitely defeat her. I hope she won't cry when the time comes!"

"It's the first time you cry in court, isn't that your little follower?"

"you……"

Xiao Baihe was depressed, and Tan Yingying beside her was even more speechless.

You two bickering, why did it come to me?

"Hmph, let's wait and see!"

Xiao Baihe could only drop a harsh word, and then waved: "Yingying, let's go!"

Tan Yingying and Zhang Wei nodded, then chased Xiao Baihe and ran away quickly.

Watching Xiao Baihe lead Tan Yingying into the court, Tie Ruyun and Li Yueqin leaned over.

"The one just now is Xiao Baihe from the Serious Crimes Division of the District Prosecutor's Headquarters. That's the trump card!"

After Tie Ruyun waited for the two to enter the court, he quickly asked a question.

"Yeah, Xiao Baihe, what's your problem, old man?"

"Why do you look familiar with her?"

"Of course we are familiar. She and I have eaten together and investigated crimes. We are good teammates who have fought together!"

Hearing Zhang Wei's explanation, Tie Ruyun's mouth twitched.

The way of greeting just now is not the appearance of a good teammate, but more of an enemy.

But he was even more curious, how did Zhang Wei meet Ace from the local prosecutor's headquarters, the two should have no record of fighting each other, right?

Even if there is, I haven't heard that the prosecutor at the local prosecutor's headquarters will become friends with the public prosecutor. Shouldn't the two parties have mostly feuded in the case?

"finally come!"

At this moment, Zhang Wei saw the escort vehicle of the detention center, and the client, Ying Qingli, also arrived.

After He Ying Qingli nodded, the group entered the city court.

...

Prepare the interior.

A group of people are in place.

"Before the trial, I want to ask you a few questions!"

"what is the problem?"

"It's about your boss Wang Tianmeng. Do you know anything about his business?"

Ying Qingli was slightly taken aback when he heard Zhang Wei's question, but quickly shook his head.

"I don't know his business. I only know that he will let the new boys go out to work, and it seems that they will develop offline, but I don't have many opportunities to get in touch with those boys."

After he explained, he added: "I mentioned to Brother Meng that after I get out of prison, I want to reform and start a new life. He also agreed not to let me participate in his business, so I am only responsible for giving him Driving, I don’t know any of his younger brothers, and they just nod and say hello when they meet each other.”

"That's right, what about Ge Qingxiong, do you know him well?"

"Ge Qingxiong, didn't he escape from the country a few years ago? How do you know this person?"

"I said I saw Wang Tianmeng next to him, are you surprised?"

"Of course it's unexpected, because I remember that he has a murder case in his hand, and the martial arts association is still looking for him. How dare he come back?"

Zhang Wei watched Ying Qingli's expression change and analyzed it carefully. The other party should not have lied.

In other words, Ying Qingli really didn't know that Wang Tianmeng secretly arranged for Ge Qingxiong to come back.

But when Ying Qingli entered the detention center, Ge Qingxiong ostentatiously stayed by Wang Tianmeng's side, which was also a very strange thing.

Wang Tianmeng doesn't care about his loyal driver, which is another puzzling place.

"Okay, I see...!"

Zhang Wei nodded, and had nothing else to tell him, so he could only end the inquiry.

Court time is coming soon.

A group of people walked out of the preparation room and entered the small court.

The first time Zhang Wei entered the courtroom, he scanned the hearing booth and quickly caught Xiao Baihe's figure.

However, his eyes scanned the hearing booth, and soon locked on a young man with red hair.

"This person is Wang Tianmeng's subordinate, I seem to have seen him before!"

When he went to see Wang Tianmeng, this young man even teased Lin Yumeng, but Zhang Wei remembered it clearly.

Moreover, the other party's red hair was clearly visible in the hearing booth, allowing people to see it at a glance.

Recording this matter in his heart, Zhang Wei decisively walked to the front of the hearing stand and sat beside Xiao Baihe.

"Scumbag, stay away from me!" Seeing Zhang Wei sitting down, Xiao Baihe snorted to express his dissatisfaction.

"Prosecutor Xiao, we have a bet. I'm afraid you'll renege on your debt after the trial, so I've come here to keep an eye on you!"

"Hmph, I'm not your scumbag, full of lies!"

"Why am I such a scumbag?"

Zhang Wei spread his hands, he was wronged.

There are really not many honest and reliable people like me, and you still wronged me.

However, he immediately changed the subject: "Xiao Baihe, do you still remember my previous deal?"

"Why, you feel that you can't fight, and you want us to withdraw the lawsuit?"

"No, I think we need to renegotiate the content of the transaction. This case is very deep, and even involves the investigation of the serious crime team..."

"Don't talk!"

Xiao Baihe directly interrupted Zhang Wei's explanation, and even despised Zhang Wei in his heart.

There's no other way, you actually brought out the serious crime team, are you going to call Xia Qianyue over later to help you lie?

"Really, I can ask Xia Hanhan to explain to you face to face!"

"Hmph, get the hell out of here, get out of the way, don't disturb me watching the trial!"

Xiao Baihe secretly said, sure enough, you don't call anyone, just call that stupid, do you know that she is easy to deceive?

Xiao Baihe has already regarded Zhang Wei as an unscrupulous lawyer who can even be used by idiots, so she won't listen to a word of the next words!

Seeing Xiao Baihe put on a posture of "I won't listen, I won't listen", Zhang Wei had no choice but to extinguish his desire to continue disturbing.

The eyes of the two turned to the court at the same time, and the trial finally began.

"Everyone stand up, please..."

The judge enters the court, and the prosecution and the defense take their seats.

The prosecution was Tan Yingying, the defense was Lin Yumeng, and the defendant was Ying Qingli.

"The prosecution, please make a statement of the case!"

As the judge announced, Tan Yingying summoned the first witness to appear in court.

And this first witness was the victim of an armed robbery.

"May I ask the witness, what happened to you in the underground parking lot near Chengnan District on Monday night?"

"I was robbed by a person!"

The witness said, looking at the dock.

"Do you know that person?"

"I didn't know him, but I see him now."

"Can you please identify who it is?"

The witness nodded and pointed to Ying Qingli who was on the defense bench.

"Thank you for the testimony of the witness. Please record the truth with the court clerk. The witness testifies that the defendant Ying Qingli is an armed robber!" Seeing this, Tan Yingying nodded to express her gratitude.

"Witness, now please tell everyone what happened that day!"

"Okay, I just parked the car in the underground parking lot that day, and before I could react, I was hijacked. In fact, I don't know where he rushed out, and put a knife on my neck ,he……"

As the witness spoke, he looked at Ying Qingli with a scared expression.

This scene was also seen by the jurors, who all looked at Ying Qingli suspiciously.

This suspect is probably close to ten!

The statement of the case lasted five or six minutes, during which the witness took several drinks of water to relieve tension.

"Thank you for the witness statement, we have no problem!"

Tan Yingying took a deep breath, suppressed her nervousness and walked back to the prosecutor's seat.

Next, it was time for Lin Yumeng to ask questions.

She looked around, and when she saw the judge looking at her, she knew she had to stand up.

Just as Lin Yumeng walked out of the defense bench, she suddenly thought of something, walked back immediately, and picked up a piece of paper from the table.

"Well, witness, why did you go to the parking lot that day?"

"ah?"

The witness was a little confused when he heard this question.

But Lin Yumeng looked at the note and continued to ask: "Why did you go to that underground parking lot? We checked your background and found that you are a freight driver. The freight company that hired you is 10 kilometers away from the parking lot. As mentioned above, your company's business lines are mainly in other places, so there should be no business in this city, right?"

"No, this issue has nothing to do with this case!!"

Tan Yingying immediately stood up and expressed her objection.

Lin Yumeng was shocked for a moment, but when she thought of Zhang Wei's reminder, she immediately regained her senses.

She flipped through the note and read it: "Oh, that, my master..."

Soon, she realized something was wrong, and quickly changed her words: "Oh, no, I should have said it..."

"I think this issue has a lot to do with this case, because the defendant theoretically will not appear at the place where the crime took place, so the defense is very curious why he went uncharacteristically to a place he had never been to, and then happened to meet What about robbery?"

"this……"

This question surprised the judges in the trial seat.

Although what the little girl said was a little weird, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed that this was really the case.

"The prosecution's objection is invalid. This court is also a little curious about this question. Witnesses are invited to answer it!"

Now that the judge said so, Tan Yingying had no choice but to sit down.

Seeing the judge looking at him, the witness could only answer:

"Someone called me and let me go!"

Lin Yumeng immediately opened the note and asked, "Do you know who that person is?"

"have no idea!"

"You don't know each other?"

"do not know!"

Lin Yumeng turned over another page of note.

"So, a stranger made a phone call and asked you to go to a strange place. Before you said anything, you really went, without any doubt?"

The witness felt the pressure, quickly swallowed his saliva, and nodded: "Yes!"

This time, even the judge frowned.

This answer is somewhat unreasonable!

Similarly, Xiao Baihe in the hearing seat also frowned.

For the first time, she felt that the witness seemed to be hiding something.
