Crazy, You Call This a Trainee Lawyer

Chapter 169 After the pre-trial, the problem is...

(Although today is Saturday, even though it's raining today, the author Jun still has to go to the streets and neighborhoods, it's hard work...)

...

The pre-trial began, and the defense took the lead in asking questions.

Although Su Bancheng is the chief lawyer of the Good House Group, it is naturally impossible for him to do such a trivial matter as screening the jury.

The person in charge of asking questions is his subordinate who is also a junior in the law firm.

The junior is a fairly handsome male lawyer, looking mature and stable in his thirties.

The male lawyer walked up to the jury seat and asked slowly:

"I would like all the jurors here to assume such a scenario. The town where you live is in the winter, and it has snowed for several days in winter. The snow on the ground is at least ten centimeters thick, causing serious damage to the residents of the town. Huge living difficulties."

"At this time, the town decided to organize snow shoveling. Everyone took the shovel and started to shovel the snow outside the town one by one. After several days of struggle, the snow in the town was shoveled clean."

"But at this time, two residents slipped and fell due to snow plowing, and broke their toes and fingers, so they decided to sue the town and sue the snow plowing operation people!"

At this point, the male lawyer asked with a smile, "What do you think of this story?"

"What do you think, sir?"

The juror who was named by the male lawyer looked confused.

"Do you want me to tell the truth?"

"certainly!"

Seeing that the male lawyer was decisive, the juror laughed, "I think, your story is quite nonsense!"

For this answer, the male lawyer was not surprised, but smiled slightly at the trial seat.

"Your Honor, the defense thanks the juror for his honest answer and asks him to leave!"

The man left, but the male lawyer was still questioning others.

"What do you think of this story, lady?"

"I think these people just don't know what's good and what's wrong. The town has shoveled the snow for you, but you blame the town for some trivial things. In my opinion, it's no different from making trouble for no reason!"

"The defense thanks you for your answer!"

The male lawyer was very satisfied with the woman's answer, and nodded to the trial seat.

Obviously, he wanted to keep this woman.

The defense's question also puzzled Susan, who was sitting in the plaintiff's seat.

"Zhang Wei, what do they mean by their question? Why don't I understand?"

"You don't understand this?"

Zhang Wei was stunned for a moment. You didn't even notice the other party's "easy to understand" purpose?

"I don't understand..." Susan shook her head.

"Hey, well, I'll tell you their purpose!"

Zhang Wei sighed helplessly, his teammates were not strong enough, so he had nothing to do.

"Actually, this question is aimed at you residents of Tonghu Town. The other party compares himself to someone who shovels snow for the town, and compares your family to people who make trouble for no reason. In their view, their factory has helped the town solve the problem. The employment rate provides jobs for the townspeople, which is a charity to the town, but you still want to blackmail the Haofang Group, which is not flattering!"

"So why did he screen out that man, because that man doesn't even have the idea to listen to the story!"

"As for keeping the woman, it is naturally because the woman's answer is in line with their expectations, and she is the ideal juror they need."

"That's right..."

Under Zhang Wei's explanation, Susan finally understood.

Such a small story actually hides such a follow-up, which is really insightful.

"Then what shall we do?" Susan asked quickly.

Zhang Wei leaned into the other party's ear and ordered, "It's very simple, when you ask questions later, just ask me like this..."

After a while, the male lawyer nodded to the prosecution.

Meaning, it's the prosecution's turn.

Susan took a deep breath, then stood up and walked to the jury.

"May I ask the jurors, what kind of sports do you like?"

When this question was asked, the audience was stunned.

The jury looked at each other, the hearing audience whispered to each other, and even Su Bancheng, who was on the defense bench, looked at Zhang Wei in surprise.

Zhang Wei is naturally the old god, and he nodded to the former in response.

"This kid, what is the plan? What's the point of asking such a question?"

If he doesn't understand, others will naturally understand even more.

However, this question is actually not difficult to answer, after all, everyone has a favorite sport.

"Sir, what kind of sports do you like?"

"Me, I like table tennis and diving!"

"This is the strong sport of Dragon Kingdom. It seems that you like to see our Dragon Kingdom team win!"

"Of course, who likes to watch lose?"

Susan nodded, seeing Zhang Wei shaking his head slightly, and said to the trial seat: "Your Honor, the prosecution thanks the juror for his answer and asks him to leave the seat!"

The judge had no opinion and motioned to the man, who got up and left immediately.

"Ma'am, what kind of sports do you like?"

"I love football!"

Hearing the woman's answer, many people nearby laughed.

"Ma'am, as far as I know, football is not our strong point?"

"Yeah, they keep losing, but my husband likes to watch it, so I'll follow suit..."

Seeing the woman spread her hands to answer, Susan suddenly lost her mind, and quickly looked at the prosecution seat.

Zhang Wei nodded this time.

"Your Honor, we accept this juror!"

Although the judge was a little strange, he still recorded it.

Susan was about to continue asking questions, but out of the corner of her eye, Zhang Wei pointed to the lower left corner.

"Oh, that woman!"

Only then did Susan remember that there was a woman in the jury, and she needed to pay more attention.

She walked up to the woman and asked, "Hi lady, what is your job?"

"I'm an architect and I work as a project development manager in a real estate company!"

Hearing the woman's answer, Susan had no idea, but Zhang Wei gasped.

A woman, in the construction and real estate industry, holds a key position in a company where more men work, and she has achieved incredible results.

"This woman may be the center of the jury, and the judge may let her be the chief juror!"

In addition, this woman has just been divorced, and she has a distrustful attitude towards men or people who tell lies. She is simply the ideal juror that Zhang Wei needs.

He nodded slightly to Susan.

"Your Honor, we accept this juror!"

Susan naturally had no objections and expressed the prosecution's request.

"Where's the defense?" The judge looked at Su Bancheng.

"Your Honor, the defense also accepts this juror!"

This time, Su Bancheng stood up himself, responded with a smile, and didn't even let the male lawyer under him speak.

Looking at the smile on his face, it seemed that this choice was in line with his expectations.

Susan saw this scene, so naturally Zhang Wei would not miss it.

has a problem!

They all noticed that there was a big problem!

"Well, we already have a jury. It just so happens that tomorrow is the last day of March, and the court session will start at 9:30 in the morning. Now the court is dismissed!"

As the judge hammered the announcement, the time for the trial was set.

"Lawyer Zhang, Lawyer Su, I look forward to your performance tomorrow!"

Su Bancheng walked up to Zhang Wei and Zhang Wei this time, and greeted them with a smile.

After that, he didn't care how the two answered, and left with his subordinates and the people of the Haofang Group.

"Zhang Wei, the smiles when they left, there is a big problem!"

Jessica also came over from the hearing booth. As a psychologist, she also noticed something was wrong.

"Yes, there is indeed a problem, we need to go back and review, where is the problem!"

Aware of the seriousness of the problem, Zhang Wei set off with Jessica and Susan back.

...

Tonghu Town, Sumei's house.

"There should be no problem with the jurors. If that woman is related to the Good House Group, she must not pass the juror's integrity investigation report!"

"The Good House Group is mainly engaged in furniture manufacturing. Although it has cooperation with many real estate companies, there must be no company where the woman happens to work!"

Zhang Wei knew that the Taoyuan District Court could not allow an employee of a real estate company that has a cooperative relationship with the Good House Group to join the jury.

Then the woman must have no problem.

Since there is no problem, and he has not misunderstood the character of the other party, then where is the problem?

Su Bancheng has 40 years of court experience, it is impossible not to see what that woman is thinking.

A woman who cannot trust lies, why did Su Bancheng keep her?

In an instant, Zhang Wei thought of it.

"There must be a traitor among us!"

This was the only explanation he could think of!

Since women don't trust anyone and have absolutely zero tolerance for lies and deceit, then Su Bancheng's purpose of keeping the other party is clear.

Among the six families in Tonghu Town, there must be something wrong!

Only in this way, Su Bancheng will show such a smile after the pre-trial is over.

He obviously got a huge advantage, so he couldn't hide his inner joy no matter what.

"Impossible, there is no problem among us, absolutely no problem!"

Su Mei didn't believe that the six families were all neighbors, so how could there be problems.

She had used her character as a guarantee before, and she had assured Zhang Wei that the six families were all innocent.

They have been neighbors for decades. If there is any problem between each household, how can it be hidden from the eyes of other households.

"Aunt Mei, are you sure? I think Su Bancheng must know something we don't, and that's why..."

"No, Lawyer Zhang, you must have made a mistake. I can use my personality as a guarantee that our family will be fine!"

Seeing that Zhang Wei was about to have doubts again, Su Mei quickly made a promise.

"Zhang Wei, it's really impossible for our family to have problems. The medical records of the uncles and aunts are all sorted out by me!" Susan also explained.

"Aunt Mei, Susan, don't burden Zhang Wei anymore. Let him judge for himself. What you do is tantamount to embarrassing him."

Although Jessica wanted to stand up to Aunt Mei, her reason told her that Zhang Wei was not wrong.

"Zhang Wei, your idea is not wrong, I support you!"

"But you also have to think about it, if we investigate our own people now, will it destroy our unity."

As she said, the court is about to start, and if you investigate your own people, even if you find something, you will reveal it.

Well, what will the other families think of you? You don't even trust us?

Once the alliance of several families is disintegrated, it is likely to be broken by the Good House Group.

Zhang Wei also waved his hand, and Jessica's thinking was not unreasonable. .

"I want to be quiet..."

He needs to calm down, needs to think.

Anyway, he knew that Su Bancheng must be proud, because they knew a secret that Zhang Wei didn't know.

This is the lore!

Zhang Wei didn't like this very much, and let himself fall into passivity.

"Aunt Mei, let's go to the yard to bask in the sun and give him some time!"

Jessica naturally understood Zhang Wei's worries. She saw something and hurriedly dragged Su Mei and Susan to the backyard.

"Six families, even if Aunt Mei promises it, I can't really trust them, because I am not related to them, they must have problems, but I don't know who it is yet!"

"Judging from Su Bancheng's smile, he must have the key evidence that can kill us. Who is it? Could it be the Wang family?"

Zhang Wei's first suspect was naturally Wang Qiang.

Just because the opponent's performance does not fit the general weak person's position, the opponent's tough attitude is obviously abnormal.

But Wang Qiang is not the first initiator of this case. Even if this guy has problems, Zhang Wei feels that it should be impossible to directly change the trend of this case.

If you want to say who is the key witness, it should be Su Mei, the initiator of the case, and Susan, the lawyer in charge. They...

"Wait, what's Aunt Su Mei's real name?"

There seemed to be a flash of inspiration in Zhang Wei's mind.

Although he wouldn't believe other people, Su Mei's expression didn't look like she was joking. She believed in her heart that the other families were fine.

But what about Sumei herself?

Thinking of this, Zhang Wei immediately took out his mobile phone and dialed a number.

"Hello, it's Lawyer Zhang. I'm Cheng Liang. What do you want from me?"

"Representative Cheng, can you investigate foreign insurance information?"

"Information from abroad...it's not difficult to deal with. We sincerely insure that there are foreign cooperative enterprises. If Lawyer Zhang really wants to investigate, we must expedite it!"

"Well, I need you to help me investigate this name, her name is Su Mei, no... her name is Melena Kent!"

"Melina Kent, I understand, Lawyer Zhang, we must get it done as soon as possible!"

On the other end, Cheng Liang hung up the phone immediately after writing down the name, and started to work.

After Zhang Wei hung up the phone, he stared at the backyard, lost in thought.

He hoped that his suspicions were wrong.

Zhang Wei spent the whole afternoon waiting.

Just before dinner, Cheng Liang finally got the news.

At dinner time, the four of them sat together.

Although there was a fairly good meal in front of them, none of the four, including Zhang Wei, moved their chopsticks.

"Aunt Mei, I finally know what the problem is!"

"Lawyer Zhang, what's the problem?"

Su Mei looked worried because she was afraid that someone in the other five families would really have a problem.

"The problem is you!"

But Zhang Wei looked at Su Mei.

"I?"

"Yes, it's you!"

As Zhang Wei said, he turned on the phone screen and showed it in front of Su Mei.

"Through the relationship of Sincere Insurance, I found your insurance registration information in your hometown and your family medical history. Melena Kent, your grandfather William Kent died of cancer!"

"My grandpa?"

Su Mei was also stunned. She came to Longguo decades ago, and her grandfather died even before she was born.

Who can know these news?

If it wasn't for Zhang Wei's delay in the relationship with Sincere Insurance, which happened to be related to foreign insurance companies, how could ordinary people find out about this kind of thing.

"Aunt Mei, I thought about it just now. You told me that the other families are fine, so I was wondering if there is something wrong with you. I didn't expect to be guessed right!"

Zhang Wei looked helpless, the last person who should have had problems was Su Mei, but in the end he slapped them in the face severely.

Su Mei contracted cancer due to environmental pollution and had less than a year to live.

But now, this cancer does not come from environmental pollution, not from carcinogens that may appear in factories, but from family inheritance!

In this case, wouldn't it mean that the biggest reliance on their side would also lose its power.

"Zhang Wei, what shall we do next?"

Seeing that Zhang Wei solved the puzzle, Susan lost her mind.

What's wrong with this, why is a court trial so difficult?

It also involves the mother's family genetic medical history, who would have thought of this?

"What we have to do is very simple. In the next trial, just let Aunt May stay in the hearing booth. Fortunately, we listed all six families as prosecution witnesses from the beginning. As long as we do not call witnesses, the defense cannot call !"

For now, that's all there is to it.

As long as Su Mei doesn't testify in court, then Su Bancheng won't be able to uncover this matter, and they will be considered safe.

The only pity is that Su Mei and Susan have prepared for this case for so long, but they have no room for development.

Zhang Wei is also helpless, but this is the best way to deal with it.

A dinner ended in the helplessness of the four of them.

Because of Su Mei's affairs, none of them had much appetite.

night.

Zhang Wei was lying on the edge of the bed alone with his arms pillowed on his head, staring at the only window in the room, thinking about something.

"Are you asleep?"

In his ears, soft whispers sounded.

"not yet!"

Zhang Wei sighed.

It was almost midnight, but he couldn't sleep.

All of a sudden, the back feels a bloody pain.

Needless to say, it must be Jessica, she is a ****.

Although the two have slept together in the same bed for two days, they are no longer as embarrassed as they were at the beginning.

But both of them maintained restraint, even in this small bed with a width of 1.5 meters.

But today, because of Su Mei's incident, Zhang Wei was more irritable, and Jessica also noticed this.

"I know what happened to Aunt Mei. It must have upset you. I'm also sorry for bringing you in. If it wasn't for my willfulness, you wouldn't be like this now..."

As Jessica spoke, she *closed* her body.

Zhang Wei suddenly became nervous, his heart was pounding, not because of worry about the case, but because of a strange feeling in his back.

The feeling was so real that he could already imagine it.

hiss~

Zhang Wei gasped, it was the first time for the two of them to have such an intimate contact.

Jessica is still apologizing, because she is the one who made Zhang Wei come to Tonghu Town, and she feels responsible.

"Zhang Wei, I'm sorry..."

As she spoke, her right hand was unconsciously brought to Zhang Wei's body.

At this moment, Zhang Wei's heart is also suffering.

Jessica, what are you doing!

Do you know that you are playing with fire like this.

The consequences of doing so may lead to 404!

Zhang Wei quickly grabbed Jessica's hand and held it tightly in his palm.

He no longer cared about the touch of his palm, but forced himself to calm down.

"Jessica, thank you, I'm fine, let's go to bed early, there is still a tough battle to fight tomorrow!"

The so-called tough battle is naturally a trial.

"Well, go to bed early!"

Seeing that Zhang Wei finally recovered, Jessica happily responded.

But she still let Zhang Wei hold her hand, and she didn't plan to adjust her posture.

Zhang Wei had no choice but to feel the tenderness of his fingertips, and forced himself to close his eyes.

Zhang Wei felt that Alexander was the one who slept with Jessica.

This pressure is greater than facing a hundred lawyers!
