Crazy, You Call This a Trainee Lawyer

Monday, court day.

Although it is already the beginning of April, the weather has not completely warmed up. When I go out, the cold wind is blowing on my face, and I can still feel that the winter is not gone.

At Su Mei's home, Zhang Wei and the others were already fully dressed and ready.

"Is everything ready?"

"It's all ok!"

"What about the information?"

"It's all ready!"

"Have all the documents been printed out?"

"Don't worry, it's all here!"

"Well, let's go to the battlefield!"

Zhang Wei looked at the time, he knew it was time.

The three of them set off immediately!

...

In the morning, 8:30.

Taoyuan District, District Court.

It was still the place where the court was held last week, but today's court is a bit more lively than when the court was held last time.

"Lawyer Susan, according to the court hearing a few days ago, some of the family members of the victims in Tonghu Town forged the medical records. Is this true?"

"Lawyer Su, I heard that many people in your town are opposed to suing the Good House Group. Does your decision to sue mean that you will go your own way?"

"The testing report of the Environmental Protection Agency shows that the Haofang Group has no problems. Is it slandering you to sue the processing factory for polluting the water source?"

"I heard that the Good House Group is going to sue you after this trial. What do you think?"

"According to our station's news, as a prosecuting lawyer, you invited a consultant from Dongfang Capital. What's the relationship between him and you?"

"Ms. Su Mei had a nosebleed at the end of the trial last week. Some people speculated that she was trying to win the sympathy of the jury by pretending to be ill. Do you have a different view on this statement?"

When they entered the courtroom, Zhang Wei and the three had to squeeze away the surrounding media reporters.

The questions they asked sounded like they were targeting the three of them.

"Good guy, this gang of unscrupulous media, if you say they didn't receive Su Bancheng's instructions, I wouldn't believe it even if they were killed!"

Zhang Wei couldn't help complaining when he finally broke his way out from the interception of media reporters.

Although the media's interference with the trial is limited, it is still possible to shake your mind before the trial.

Although Su Bancheng is an old lawyer, he has played a lot of this kind of routine.

No, I'll show you three before the trial, and I'll give you a big blow.

After entering the court, the three of Zhang Wei walked to their respective positions.

Due to Su Mei's situation, she couldn't be there. Only Jessica and representatives of the other four families came in the front row of the hearing.

As for the family members, many of them have to go to work, so there is no way to be present to support them.

However, because of the small number of people, it gave outsiders a lack of self-confidence.

Zhang Wei can already guess what kind of articles the media are writing.

Not long after, the defendant also began to enter.

At the gate of the court, the crowded crowd automatically gave way, and Su Bancheng walked into the venue with the support of his subordinates.

The representatives of the Good House Group followed closely behind, and dozens of people walked into the court with a strong aura.

The leader, Mr. Wu, put on a poker face, walked to the dock by himself, and sat down indifferently.

Su Bancheng scanned the audience, and finally fixed his eyes on Zhang Wei, with a sarcasm on his face.

"Today, let you know what will happen to me if you provoke me!"

Zhang Wei also looked at Su Bancheng, and sneered back in his heart.

"Today, I'll let you, an old ghost, see what lore is!"

The time was in the "expectation" of the two, and it passed quickly.

9 o'clock finally arrived.

"stand up!"

The court was silent and the judge entered.

But this time, the judge not only nodded to Su Bancheng, he also nodded to Susan and Zhang Wei for the first time.

Obviously, he also felt the pressure from the plaintiff during the trial last Friday, so he changed his attitude slightly.

The trial seat and jury seats are all in place.

"The trial continues today. Does the plaintiff have any witnesses to call?"

"Your Honor, we have decided to end the opening statement!"

Faced with the judge's questioning, Susan stood up to respond.

Hearing this result, most people in the court were not surprised.

Su Bancheng finally laughed, your opening statement is over, now it's my turn to make a move.

"Okay, now that the prosecution has finished presenting evidence, it's the defense's turn to prove itself!"

The judge nodded towards Su Bancheng, "Lawyer Su, you can start now!"

Su Bancheng naturally understood, and stood up slightly, "The defense summoned the first witness to testify in court!"

At the signal of Su Bancheng, a man in a suit and leather shoes, wearing glasses, and with a big back and greasy hair walked up to the witness stand.

"Witness, please tell everyone your identity!"

"My surname is Miao. I'm the director of the safety department of the Good House Group, the person in charge of the pollution detection center, and the person in charge of the company's safety projects..."

The witness reported a long list of titles, as if telling the entire court that he was an important member of the Good House Group.

In the jury seat, countless people looked at him, with guesses, doubts, and a little surprise in their eyes.

They are all curious, why do you have to add so many titles to a person, does it look like you are awesome?

However, his goal seems to have been achieved.

Even the "No. 1" lady stared at the witness stand.

On the prosecution bench, Zhang Wei's mouth became more and more curved after seeing Director Miao testify in court.

"It's really him, Su Bancheng, you old ghost, it's not good to call someone, you have to call this one up, and when you cry!"

Leaving aside Zhang Wei's inner pettiness, the defense's self-certification has already begun.

"Hello, Director Miao, as one of the risk control departments of the Good House Group and the person in charge of the environmental safety department, what do you think about the pollution of the processing plant in Tonghu Town?"

Without any hesitation, Director Miao immediately said to the jury: "I think these allegations are all slander, and they are all nonsense!"

"Oh, why do you say that?"

"It's very simple. Our department conducts testing every quarter. Our group attaches great importance to the problem of environmental pollution. Just over the weekend, our company conducted another surprise test against trichlorethylene. The tested samples came from The water source of Tonghu Town, and the test result is passed!"

Hearing this answer, Su Bancheng nodded immediately, and then snapped his fingers towards the dock.

Immediately, one of his subordinates took out three documents from the briefcase, one was handed over to Zhang Weifang next door, the other was handed over to the trial seat, and the last one was held by Su Bancheng.

"Your Excellency, and everyone in the court, this copy in my hand is the experimental data of the weekend surprise test, which clearly records the results of the sample inspection of the water source. This report can tell you about the pollution of the water source in Tonghu Town. It's a fictitious slander, a false accusation against my client group!"

"Your Excellency, we request that this test report be listed as evidence, please approve!"

The judge glanced at Susan and Zhang Wei, and saw that they were silent for a long time, "Since the prosecution has no objection, then this court approves it!"

"Thank you!" Su Bancheng thanked him and continued to ask questions.

"Director Miao, I know that the prosecution may question the authenticity of the test report, so I would like to ask, is this report accurate, and is there any error?"

"This is impossible!"

Director Miao seemed to cooperate well, and answered decisively: "The instruments in our laboratory are all imported equipment, and many testing personnel are from Jinnan City, Jinying City Medical University, and even special consultants from top domestic environmental laboratories. , Whether it is the detection accuracy and accuracy of the equipment, or the professionalism of the testing personnel, they have all reached the highest level in China, and there is absolutely no possibility of inaccurate test results, and there will be no so-called errors!"

"Well, thank you Director Miao for your answer, the defense has no questions!"

Su Bancheng was very satisfied. After the question was over, he took a look at Zhang Wei.

I know that you may ask about the detection error and the professionalism of the researchers, so I blocked these questions one step ahead of time, so that you can ask no questions.

Full of confidence, Su Bancheng returned to his seat.

He thought that there must be nothing wrong with Director Miao on the witness stand. Even if the other party conducted cross-examination, they would not be able to catch any vital points.

And in terms of professionalism, what can two laymen ask from a risk control expert?

Maybe these two laymen will be grasped by risk control experts with their professional knowledge.

Su Bancheng even began to look forward to it, expecting that Susan and Zhang Wei might ask some embarrassing questions, and then how they would be slapped in the face in court.

"Director Miao, hello!"

Susan went to court and greeted the witnesses.

"you're good too!"

Director Miao showed demeanor and responded with a smile, looking in a good mood.

Seeing this, Susan asked with a smile, "Director Miao is in a good mood?"

"certainly!"

The latter nodded.

This is the truth. Now he wants to show his face in court and show his face in front of the president.

At this time, he was fully prepared. As long as Zhang Wei and Susan asked any professional questions, he was sure to fight back with his professional knowledge.

Once you successfully slap your opponent in the face, wouldn't it be a big show in front of Mr. Wu, when the time comes, you will be promoted to a higher salary, and even promoted to the company's decision-making level, the company's vice president...

Anyway, Director Miao is ready to go at this moment.

Just waiting for Susan to ask!

"Director Miao, do you know Miao Zhenzhen?"

"ah……"

Susan asked, and asked a question that had nothing to do with professional knowledge.

Director Miao was stunned on the spot, dumbfounded.

The jury looked at each other, not knowing the meaning of the question.

In the dock, Su Bancheng was also slightly surprised for a moment, and so was Mr. Wu next door.

At the hearing, the employees of the Good House Group, the subordinates of Su Bancheng Law Firm, and the accompanying media reporters all looked at each other and whispered to each other.

They all had such a question...

Who is this Miao Zhenzhen?

Who is Miao Zhenzhen? Since this question was asked by Susan, the answer is naturally related to Director Miao.

"Director Miao, is this question difficult to answer?"

"This... this question is not difficult to answer. Miao Zhenzhen is my sister, but what does this question have to do with the case?"

Director Miao himself is speechless, what do you ask my sister to do?

You should ask me about the data in the test report, whether the environmental pollution test is true, or ask me about the risk control and safety department, so that I can crush you with my professional knowledge!

But Susan ignored Director Miao's inner cries, and asked with a smile, "Madam Miao Zhenzhen, what position does she hold in your group?"

"She is in charge of procurement related matters in our company's processing plant in Tonghu Town. Can you ask her any questions?"

Director Miao protested again after answering the question.

It's a pity that his protest is useless, and the defense lawyer must personally explain the objection.

But Su Bancheng was still wondering why the prosecution wanted to question "Miao Zhenzhen" and what kind of conspiracy was going on here.

"Is it because I feel that I have nothing to do, so I picked a random name to ask, or is it intended to interfere with our sight, or is there really something wrong with this woman?"

Su Bancheng looked at Zhang Wei, who was sitting next door with an old god on his face, with a relaxed expression, and fell into deep self-doubt.

He never imagined that what should have been a professional question turned into this?

"Nothing, I'm just curious!"

Here, Susan smiled and explained.

"By the way, how much is Ms. Miao Zhenzhen's monthly salary?"

grass!

It's not over, is it?

He caught Miao Zhenzhen and asked, do you have any grudges with Miao Zhenzhen?

Also, has this woman come to the court, and if she does, can she stand up?

Director Miao's heart is broken, you are asking some professional questions, you ask my sister's monthly salary, how do you want me to answer you?

"I'm from the headquarters of the group. I don't know much about the wages for the processing plant to purchase..."

Director Miao really didn't know how much Miao Zhenzhen's monthly salary was, so naturally he couldn't answer.

Susan looked at Director Miao and smiled.

"Excuse me, Ms. Miao Zhenzhen, do you have a monthly salary of 100,000?"

"be opposed to!"

After continuously asking irrelevant questions, Su Bancheng finally couldn't bear it anymore.

Seeing that Zhang Wei was about to get up, he quickly added, "The question has nothing to do with this case. The defense objected to all questions about Ms. Miao Zhenzhen. She is an ordinary employee of the processing factory, so there is no way she has anything to do with this case!"

The judge nodded and was about to stop the questioning immediately.

But Susan was already prepared and explained to the judge: "Your Excellency, Ms. Miao Zhenzhen is the purchaser of the processing plant, and she purchased the flame retardant containing trichlorethylene used in the processing plant!"

"this……"

The judge hesitated immediately, Miao Zhenzhen really has something to do with this case!

He glanced at Su Bancheng and shook his head slightly.

"The objection is invalid, and the defense can continue to ask questions!"

Su Bancheng sat down helplessly, with slight suspicion in his heart.

He knew that it was impossible for Zhang Wei and Susan to catch Miao Zhenzhen with crazy questions, and there seemed to be traces of these questions.

Could it be that there is really a problem with small purchases in this factory?

"Thank you, Your Honor, for allowing Xunxun!"

Susan nodded gratefully, then looked at the witness stand.

But at this moment, with the nature of Miao Zhenzhen's work and her relationship with flame retardants, Director Miao's expression changed.

His expression was stunned, showing both astonishment, astonishment, and a hint of fear.

"Director Miao, I believe it's impossible for your sister to earn 100,000 a month, right?"

"Of course, how is it possible... Hahaha... Are you kidding me..."

Director Miao tried his best to maintain his demeanor, but unfortunately he lacked the confidence to speak.

"That's strange. Why is there a transfer of 100,000 yuan in the account every month for this purchase?"

Susan showed a puzzled look, and said puzzledly: "I looked at her circle of friends, and there is a cabinet of brand-name bags worth tens of thousands, and there is a high-end car worth more than 500,000 in the community where she lives." It is registered under her name, and she has a total of 9 overseas travel records last year, and the consumption abroad each time is not less than 100,000!"

"Can you tell me a purchasing person, how can he enjoy it more than Mr. Wu of your company?"

Director Miao's forehead was already dripping with sweat.

"Maybe my brother-in-law gave the money, my brother-in-law..."

"Oh, by the way, and your brother-in-law, he is Director Li of the processing factory in Tonghu Town, right?"

As soon as this remark came out, the audience was in an uproar!

Miao Zhenzhen was purchased by a factory, and she purchased the flame retardants that caused pollution.

Miao Zhenzhen's husband is the director of the factory, and he has the final say on the factories that use flame retardants!

Miao Zhenzhen also has a younger brother, Director Miao, who is the director of the safety department of the Good House Group and is responsible for pollution testing.

These three people are a family, and they are all closely related to pollution!

For a moment, everyone present thought of one thing.

There is a real problem with flame retardants. Miao Zhenzhen purchased low-quality flame retardants for the factory. The factory used flame retardants for processing and production. In the end, the polluted trichlorethylene flowed into the waters of Tonghu Town, which eventually affected the residents of the town.

Everything seems to be connected!

"Against, seditious testimony!"

Su Bancheng finally couldn't sit still, and immediately stood up to object.

"Then how will the defense explain Miao Zhenzhen's excessive spending power? A large part of the money comes from flame retardant suppliers. She obviously took kickbacks, right?"

But at this moment, Susan also stiffened for a while, facing Su Bancheng, she was not afraid at all, and did not give an inch.

"False accusations, these are false accusations!"

Su Bancheng denied it again, and pointed to the witness stand: "There is no problem with the test report, so the water source is not polluted!"

"The three of them are a family. Since my sister and brother-in-law can get kickbacks, they use inferior flame retardants to shoddy. Wouldn't the witness take advantage of his position to forge the test report and make it look like the real thing?"

"If the test reports are falsified, the Environmental Protection Agency investigates every quarter. Can those reports be falsified?"

After Su Bancheng finished speaking, he looked at Susan indifferently.

Even if Director Miao falsified the investigation report of his own home, what about the investigation by the Environmental Protection Agency?

The three of them are not so powerful that they can even modify the investigation results of the Environmental Protection Agency, right?

If this can be changed, Su Bancheng will smash the silver walking stick in his hand on the spot!

Director Miao was flustered at first, but after hearing Su Bancheng's words, he finally calmed down.

That's right, the Environmental Protection Agency will come to do testing every quarter, and this data is authoritative.

As long as there is this data, it can prove that the water source is not polluted, and he will be fine!

"Attorney for the defense, do you think there is really no problem with the data of the Environmental Protection Agency?"

But what Susan said made the atmosphere of the court freeze again.

Director Miao was stunned.

No, no, don't they even know about that...

Suzhou City is also polluted.

No way, no way, is it true that my cane is not guaranteed today?
