Crazy, You Call This a Trainee Lawyer

At noon, the office of the criminal group.

"Old Tie, the eldest sister you invited, let her practice her acting skills..."

"Do you think the problem in this trial is on the witnesses?"

"You see it too?"

"Nonsense, I can't tell, I'm your leader!"

Zhang Wei and Tie Ruyun exchanged briefly while eating.

"Yes, master, I can see it~"

As Lin Yumeng said, she took a meatball from Zhang Wei's lunch box and stuffed it into her mouth.

This also caused Li Yueqin to quickly cover her lunch box, for fear of being black-handed by Lin Yumeng.

Seeing Li Yueqin's subconscious actions, Lin Yumeng looked resentful.

Zhang Wei smiled knowingly as he watched the little apprentice leisurely snatching his own meat dishes.

Such a cute girl, if her brain collapses, she will cry for a long time, right?

"You still have time to laugh, kid. Are there any witnesses this afternoon?"

"The list is gone!"

"Then you're not finished..."

Tie Ruyun shook his head, but quickly realized, "Wait, what do you mean by saying that the list is gone?"

A sneer appeared on the corner of Zhang Wei's mouth: "The meaning is very simple, I have a lot of witnesses who are not on the list, so I decided to give them a hard time!"

His expression made Tie Ruyun, Li Yueqin and Lin Yumeng look at each other in blank dismay, and felt a bit of coolness.

Zhang Wei, are you going to get serious?

After lunch, take a break.

1 pm.

Moot courts are on again.

As everyone was seated, Judge Mi sat down in the judging seat.

He nodded towards Lin Yufeng in the dock, but he didn't even look at Zhang Wei in the dock.

In the background, everyone from Super Energy Beverage Company also took their seats.

"In this morning's trial, Young Master Lin performed well. Not only did he defuse the plaintiff's attack, but he also countered the general!"

"That's right, being able to win over the opponent's expert witnesses is considered to be Lin Shao's true ability. Now the situation is extremely favorable to us."

"I have already asked over there. The plaintiff's witness list is only two, the family members of the deceased and expert witnesses. The plaintiff's opening statement has ended in the morning, and the next step is Lin Shao's court braid."

"I believe that as soon as Lin Shao gets involved, the result of this court trial will be announced soon!"

Naturally, Shen Zhengyi and Ren Xingzhou were by his side, serving as the commentators for the trial.

They naturally praised Lin Yufeng.

But these are all facts, they just said them in an exaggerated tone.

So Mr. Zheng and the others nodded repeatedly after hearing this, with a smile on their faces.

This one is obviously stable!

Mr. Zheng and others were happy to hear it, and Shen Zhengyi and Ren Xingzhou were also happy to speak, and everything was developing in a good direction.

In the lobby.

Compared with the morning, there were many more people in the hearing booth in the afternoon.

Especially in the corner, besides Lin Yumeng, Li Yueqin and Tie Ruyun, there were two more people in the criminal team.

"Cousin, it's rare for you to come to the moot court?"

"It's not that Lawyer Zhang is the plaintiff. It just so happens that the Family Department has nothing to do this afternoon, so I'll come over to take a look. By the way, how is the situation, and which side do you think has the upper hand?"

"I was also busy with the case in the morning, so I didn't come to watch it, but I heard from other people in the litigation department that it was Lin Shao who suppressed Zhang Wei in the morning, and even the testimony of the expert witness was biased towards the defendant!"

"The situation seems to be extremely unfavorable to Xiao Zhang?"

"That's not necessarily true, we'll just have to wait and see..."

Bai Meiqi and Bai Ruoyun were sitting next to Tie Ruyun, which put a lot of pressure on the criminal team.

After all, the trump card of the law firm was sitting next to them, so they didn't dare to cheer Zhang Weisheng.

in court.

After the moot court is quiet again, the judge has to start.

"Ahem, this court announces that the opening statement in the morning is over, and the plaintiff has no other witnesses, so it will be the defendant's turn in the afternoon..."

"Wait!"

Just when Judge Mi wanted to announce that Lin Yufeng was preparing for the trial defense, Zhang Wei stood up and interrupted him.

"Your Excellency, we haven't finished our opening statement yet, why did you announce it for me?"

"What, do you still have witnesses?"

Mi Haiyang froze for a moment, and looked at Zhang Wei in disbelief.

I'm dazzled, you only have two witnesses, haven't you finished the interrogation?

You still have to make a statement in court, where did you find the witness?

And even if you find a witness, don't you have to reveal the list in advance? It's against the rules for you to do this!

"You boy, what do you mean, there are only two people on your witness list, where did you get new witnesses?"

"Your Excellency, I actually have what the witnesses say!"

After confirming that Zhang Wei's answer was calm and did not look like a joke, Judge Mi was helpless.

"Lawyer Zhang, and Young Master Lin...Lawyer Lin, you two come closer."

Zhang Wei and Lin Yufeng walked in front of Mi Haiyang, and the three of them began to discuss.

"Zhang Wei, you are new, don't you know the rules? Your witness list is..."

"Judge Mi, you are a former judge of the Southern High Court. You should have seen many court trials. You also know that in actual court trials, the prosecution or the defense will use unexpected methods, right?"

"That's what I said, but today is..."

"Judge Mi, the client requested the most authentic trial, and even if I don't use it, what if the plaintiff uses this trick in court?"

Zhang Wei interrupted Mi Haiyang and looked directly at Lin Yufeng: "Young Master Lin, if you feel that you are unprepared, then I won't allow the witness to appear in court, how about it?"

"Hmph, how dare you say that I, Lin Yufeng, will be afraid of you as a newcomer!"

Although he knew that Zhang Wei used aggressive tactics, how could Lin Yufeng be afraid.

"Judge Mi, we agree!"

"That's fine, Young Master Lin, I understand..."

Since Lin Yufeng had no objection, he, as a judge, would naturally not object.

"This court announces that the plaintiff will summon another witness to testify in court!"

Zhang Wei's operation also caused a lot of whispers in the hearing booth.

The plaintiff actually has witnesses, who could it be?

Another expert witness, or another family member of the deceased?

Is it too late to add another witness now, who can you summon to change the situation of the battle?

Under the gaze of everyone, Zhang Wei walked to the center of the court.

"The witness we want to subpoena is the director of the operation department of Super Energy Beverage Company. I want to invite him to testify in court!"

As soon as this remark came out, the audience was stunned.

Everyone in the hearing booth was stunned.

Mi Haiyang in the trial seat and Lin Yufeng in the defendant's seat all changed their expressions.

To say that the reaction was not big, there may be only the jury, because they don't know what this witness represents.

Backstage.

After Zhang Wei announced the identity of the witnesses summoned, including Mr. Zheng, everyone's eyes turned to the Director of Operations standing behind Mr. Zheng with a bewildered expression.

"President, I...I don't know anything...I came here with you...I'm just a soy sauce..."

He himself was depressed, how could he be summoned by the plaintiff.

"this……"

Shen Zhengyi and Ren Xingzhou also looked at each other in blank dismay.

They didn't expect that Zhang Wei would make such a move and actually summon the opponent's people.

"Hey, can you hear me backstage?"

At this moment, the host, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke.

"Can the backstage be invited? May I ask if the Director of Operations is here? The plaintiff summoned you as a witness. May I ask you to be on the witness stand?"

Hearing what the host said, the operations director looked at Mr. Zheng, who then looked at Shen Zhengyi and Ren Xingzhou.

"Mr. Zheng, in a real court, the plaintiff may indeed subpoena your company's personnel. At that time, they will not be notified by the host, but by the court's subpoena."

"knew!"

Now that he said that, Mr. Zheng also signaled the director of operations to go out.

Not long after, the witness sat on the witness stand under the attention of the audience.

"Hi, may I have your last name?"

"Miangui's surname is Sun."

"Director Sun, you are the Operations Director of Super Beverage Company, right?"

"Yes, it is!"

Director Sun was still a little uncomfortable with the attention of the audience, and was a little embarrassed.

Zhang Wei smiled at him, "Director Sun, since you are the head of the operation department, you must be a professional in network promotion, right?"

"Roughly the same……"

"Just so, your company launched a drink called "Absolute Zero" at the beginning of last year, do you remember? "

"Of course, this is our main product last year, the operation department must know about it!"

"very good!"

As Zhang Wei said, he walked back to his place and took out a bottle of blue-packaged soda can from his briefcase.

"Now tell me, why did your company name this drink 'Absolute Zero'?"

"Because it's a sugar-free drink, advertised as a low-calorie energy drink."

"Oh, sugar-free drinks, low energy~"

Zhang Wei nodded, then took out the remote control of the projector and pressed the button.

Several screenshots of web pages appeared on the projection screen.

"Director Sun, you should know about these websites, right?"

"Uh, a few of them look familiar, I should have heard of them..."

"Just heard of it?"

Zhang Wei's eyes widened, showing an incredulous expression.

"Uh, occasionally I visit these websites, because during that time our company's main products may be attractive to the users of these websites, so we..."

"Thank you for your honesty, Director Sun, but you haven't told the truth yet!"

Zhang Wei smiled again, and changed the tone: "Director Sun, I would like to ask, do you know much about the term "Internet Navy"? "

"Ah, this..."

As soon as the word came out, Director Sun's expression changed.

The hearing seats and jury seats also looked at each other in blank dismay.

They have heard or come into contact with this word quite a lot.

Now is the age of the Internet, and there are everyone on the Internet, and the most famous ones are of course Internet trolls.

"Director Sun, you haven't answered my question yet, do you know anything about the navy?"

"It should be considered familiar, but they are legal, please understand this!"

"Of course I understand, thank you for your special emphasis."

Seeing Director Sun's answer, Zhang Wei pressed the button again without wasting any time.

On the projection screen, a webpage was enlarged, and many comments appeared.

"Come on, let's take a look at a message on this website, please look at the screen."

"Oh my god, I lost 15 pounds in one month, thanks to 'Absolute Zero', I absolutely love this drink!"

Zhang Wei read the message with a smile, and said: "The message comes from a person whose ID is "Little Fairy Who Wants to Lose Weight", do you know this person? "

"This..." Director Sun bowed his head, not knowing how to answer.

"Director Sun, let's not talk in secret, so I'll ask you directly, is this little fairy whose ID wants to lose weight an employee of your company's operation department? Your operation department acts as an online navy, and you can lose weight in various fitness programs. Websites and forums, release promotional messages, and promote your company's products?"

Director Sun's face suddenly collapsed, and he looked in the direction of the backstage.

Zhang Wei walked up to him directly, and asked in a cold voice: "Director Sun, please answer yes or no!"

"I want to remind you, now that you are sitting on the witness stand, is this question so difficult to answer?"

"Actually, they are all hired freelancers, not employees of our company. You can understand them as temporary workers..."

Being oppressed by Zhang Wei, Director Sun finally confessed.

Backstage.

"Fuck, he explained everything!"

Mr. Zheng's face changed when he saw that Director Sun had shared all the information about the online navy.

The directors on the side also looked at each other in blank dismay.

What's the matter with your old grandson, why are you so loose-tongued, and the company's publicity strategy is casually revealed?

Also, isn't today a mock trial?

Where is the witness stand at the scene? This is obviously a studio!

Anyway, Boss Zheng was very unhappy, and if he was unhappy, the subordinates behind him were also naturally unhappy.

Shen Zhengyi and Ren Xingzhou, seeing Mr. Zheng's complexion gradually getting worse, were also in a bad mood.

hall.

"Director Sun, let's not discuss how many temporary workers your company employs, because it is difficult to check the number, but I will just ask this one, this ID is called the little fairy who wants to lose weight, do you know how many posts he has posted on the Internet?" information?"

"I don't know. After our company hired them, their promotion target has hundreds of websites. I can't count them one by one."

"Then let me tell you, this ID has posted a total of 754 messages on hundreds of similar websites. Calculated at 5 cents per message, you have to pay him 377 yuan, which is still a day's work. He helps your company continue It has been promoted for 3 months, and a total of 60,000 messages have been published, so your company paid him 30,000 for promotion, which is really generous, and I want to become an online troll!"

Zhang Wei's ridicule caused everyone on the jury to laugh.

But other people are thinking, this online troll seems to come in fairly quickly.

On the witness stand, Director Sun hesitated for a moment, but still defended himself: "As I said, he is a temporary worker, and I don't know the specific job content of him."

"Okay, let's get back to business!"

Zhang Wei took out the "Absolute Zero" drink again and held it in his hand: "Since your company's main product is to lose weight and lose weight, is it possible that the deceased Feng Xinxue's body changes are all due to this product?"

As soon as this remark came out, the jury was stunned.

That's right, since your company's product has a slimming effect, did the deceased drink this before, and that's why she was so thin?

"No, the lawyer is leading the witness to speculate!"

Seeing that Zhang Wei's question changed the direction of the court, Lin Yufeng immediately stood up to object.

"Against there is..."

"Your Honor, I have no problem!"

Just when Judge Mi was about to speak, Zhang Wei ended the question first.

Anyway, his goal has been achieved, and if Lin Yufeng wants to question his own people, let him go.

Naturally, Lin Yufeng would not cross-examine his own people, especially Director Sun, who had been stunned by Zhang Wei's question at the moment, and hadn't recovered yet.

He winked at the judge, who immediately understood.

"Adjourn for 15 minutes, host, I will leave the scene to you!"

After Judge Mi finished speaking, he quickly got up and left.

Seeing Lin Yufeng jumping over the wall in a hurry and asking the judge for help, Zhang Wei sneered even more in his heart.

The prosecution and the defense leave, the judge exits, and the host comes on stage.

"Dear jurors, the judge's adjournment just allows me to ask you about your attitude towards this case."

"I want to ask, are you on the plaintiff's side or the defendant's side, and support the dead girl's side, that is, the plaintiff's side, please raise your hands!"

As the host asked questions, 10 of the 12 jurors raised their hands.

The host's complexion changed slightly, because this result was very inconsistent with expectations.

"Then, if you are asked to make a judgment now, how much compensation do you think is appropriate?"

"I think 5 million!"

"5 million is too little, 10 million!"

"I feel that 20 million is not much, and that little girl is only 16 years old!"

"Then according to what you said, 30 million is not much?"

"I think……"

"I……"

The jurors expressed their opinions, and the face of the host became more and more ugly.

If it wasn't for his good professionalism that kept him smiling...

Backstage.

Mr. Zheng's face was as dark as a pot.

"You two, is this what Young Master Lin is doing?"

He pointed to the jury on the screen and questioned the two in front of him.

"Mr. Zheng, it was the plaintiff who spoke just now, so the wind direction of the jury will be biased towards the plaintiff. This is all predictable."

"Yes, Mr. Zheng, after we speak here, the situation will change!"

Shen Zhengyi and Ren Xingzhou quickly explained, but Mr. Zheng shook his head.

"Things will change? They want me to pay 20 million, 30 million, and the plaintiffs' lawyers, I mean the actual plaintiffs' lawyers, they only want 15 million!"

"Actually, I suspect that you are deliberately acting, and want me to agree to reconcile with the other party earlier, so that you don't have to go to court, right?"

Hearing Mr. Zheng's words, Shen Zhengyi and Ren Xingzhou didn't know how to answer.

Naturally, they shouted in their hearts that they were wronged, because the court braid just now was Lin Yufeng's true level, and there was no fraud.

In fact, they never expected that Zhang Wei would come to such a trick to force Lin Yufeng to such a situation.

Unfortunately, none of these can be said.

Otherwise, Mr. Zheng in front of him would definitely not sign a contract with Lin Yufeng.

Just kidding, you have been beaten up like this in the moot court, but when it comes to the real court, you may be miserable!

I can still let you represent our company in court, why not let the company's legal director do it in person, at least I can save myself some trouble.

Naturally, Lin Yufeng didn't know that he had lost his image in the hearts of customers.

He is now sitting in the rest area in the corner of the hall, staring at Zhang Wei opposite him with a gloomy face.

Zhang Wei, on the other hand, noticed his gaze and smiled at him.

"Fuck!" Seeing this smile, Lin Yufeng cursed in a low voice.

In the hearing booth, many people did not expect that the trial would undergo such a change.

"Look, cousin, I just said wait and see, this Zhang Wei really did not disappoint me."

"It's a pity. Didn't he offend Young Master Lin by doing so?"

"If you offend him, you can offend him. Anyway, let's see how Zhang Wei will deal with it!"

Bai Meiqi also chatted with Bai Ruoyun.

As for the small partners in the criminal team, they all showed excitement.

Because of Zhang Wei's surprise, now our side has the advantage.
