Crazy, You Call This a Trainee Lawyer

That night, Lin Mansion.

Zhang Wei and Zhao Xiaoxiao are having dinner.

Zhao Xiaoxiao's appetite is very good, and she finished eating a chicken leg in a short time, her eyes were fixed on Zhang Wei's bowl.

"Take it, take it, I have no appetite today!"

Zhang Wei pushed his bowl over, but Zhao Xiaoxiao was not polite, she reached out and grabbed another chicken leg and gnawed on it.

"What's the matter, what's on your mind?"

Zhao Xiaoxiao couldn't help asking the so-called cannibalism.

"It's not the case your father gave me. I was asked to defend a murderer. The key point was that she was seen by witnesses when she killed the man!"

"Oh, the case of Aunt Fang?"

Zhao Xiaoxiao seemed to have heard about this case, or knew Fang Yunshu.

"You know my client?"

"I've met you a few times when I was young, but I'm not familiar with you!"

Zhao Xiaoxiao shook her head coldly, and then bit off a large piece of the chicken thigh.

"The tricky part of this case is how to prove that Zeng Xiang followed and monitored Fang Yunshu, so that the latter felt threatened, and then acted angrily for his own safety, killing the source of the threat, that is, the victim of this case, Zeng Yunshu. Xiang!"

Zhang Wei said, thinking of the investigation report in the public evidence.

"According to the feedback from the Armed Forces Association Chaco, their technicians did not find any intrusion records in Fang Yunshu's home security system, but according to Fang Yunshu's confession, she has found problems with the security system many times!"

"Also, when Fang Yunshu returned home that night, Zeng Xiang appeared in her house, and Zeng Xiang should not have the house key, so he must have cracked the security system of Fang Yunshu's home by some means, otherwise how would he enter the house? "

Based on the previous reports from the investigation department, Zeng Xiang should have hacked into the system and then erased the records.

As for the level of the investigation department, Zhang Wei also knew about it.

At least they are completely incomparable with Zhao Qingyan and Zhao Xiaoxiao's father and daughter.

But Zeng Xiang is different. He and Zhao Qingyan were good partners at the beginning of their business, and they are both senior programmers.

If Zhao Qingyan can be the chief research and development officer of blacksmith technology, Zeng Xiang's level must not be bad.

Zhang Wei turned his attention to Zhao Xiaoxiao. The second girl's hacking skills are naturally nothing to say. If the other party gets involved, she may be able to find some clues.

"Don't look at me, it's not good to ask the guy next door to help. Although he is not very good, his skills are still very good!"

Zhao Xiaoxiao pointed to the next door, the meaning was already obvious.

Why are you looking for me? The person asking for your help is next door, and he has money and skills. Wouldn’t it be faster for you to find him?

"That's right. Since Uncle Zhao invited me here, he should also contribute. I just need to discuss something with him. I wonder if Uncle Zhao has woken up?"

Thinking about it, Zhang Wei didn't eat dinner, and went straight to Zhao Mansion next door.

Tuk tuk tuk!

"Uncle Zhao, it's me, are you awake?"

After knocking on the door, the door opened slowly within a few seconds.

"It's Xiao Zhang, come in quickly!"

Zhao Qingyan's voice was better than before, obviously he had rested for a while and regained some energy.

In the courtyard of the Zhao Mansion, Zhao Qingyan was lying on a rocking chair, staring straight at the courtyard.

Zhang Wei was also polite, took a bamboo chair, and sat down.

"Xiao Zhang, have you seen Xiao Fang?"

"seen!"

"Can you fight this case?"

"Uncle Zhao, I'm not going to hide it from you. It's difficult to plead not guilty in this case, but if it's a guilty plea or a direct plea, considering the extremely bad impact of the crime, it is estimated that the local prosecutor's office will not easily let the client go, and the sentence will be guaranteed. They are all 30-40 years, and there is a high probability that they will be indefinite. All in all, even if you really have to plead guilty, it is impossible for the person concerned to leave Iron Island Prison for the rest of his life!"

"So, we can only plead not guilty?"

"Yes, I am going to plead not guilty on the grounds of self-defense, but I need your help!"

Seeing what Zhang Wei said, Zhao Qingyan turned his head and looked over.

"Uncle Zhao, I want to prove that Zeng Xiang once threatened Fang Yunshu, or that Zeng Xiang's actions may have threatened Fang Yunshu's life. Only by proving these can I support my defense. So I need to prove that Zeng Xiang Evidence of intrusion into the house's security system, and witnesses of Zeng Xiang's previous character and morality..."

Zhao Qingyan rolled his eyes and nodded, "Understood, I can do all of this. I will go there in person tomorrow morning to investigate the security system of Xiaofang's home. As for testifying in court, I have no problem!"

"Okay, thank you, Uncle Zhao, for your cooperation. I'm going back to prepare. The preliminary trial will start on Thursday. I have to think about how to choose the jury!"

As Zhang Wei said, he got up and said goodbye.

Watching Zhang Wei leave, Zhao Qingyan's eyes flashed a trace of doubt and incomprehension.

"Ah Xiang, you won't really do that kind of thing, will you?"

...

Thursday, pretrial day.

City Court, gate.

Early in the morning, countless media reporters swarmed here.

As the first major homicide case in the beginning of the year, the media people in Dongfang Capital naturally got up early and rushed late, scrambling for the first-hand report.

No, I'm looking forward to it, the pre-trial day is here.

Although it is not a court session, they should have arrived earlier, because today is the day when the two parties in the trial meet for the first time.

Maybe the two sides meet at the gate of the court, and there will be a "fierce" friction and a war of words.

Even if the prosecution and the defense say just one sentence, after some processing and embellishment, it can become a mouthful for declaring war, and it also represents a proper hot topic.

"Hello viewers, I am a reporter from Dongfangdu TV station, and now we have arrived at the gate of the city court!"

"Today is Thursday, and it is also the day of the preliminary trial of Fang Yunshu's murder of Zeng Xiang. According to our reporter's understanding, the candidate for the prosecution in this case is actually Senior Prosecutor Lan Zhengye!"

"Senior prosecutors represent that they have experienced many battles and have rich experience in court trials and investigations. Prosecutor Lan Zhengye is like this. He used to be the trump card of the Midtown District Prosecutor's Office. He was known for his tough tactics at the time. With outstanding performance, he was transferred to the local prosecutor's headquarters as a senior prosecutor!"

"According to the latest news from our reporter, Prosecutor Lan Zhengye has arrived at the scene, now let's follow the camera to see what Prosecutor Lan Gao has to say to us..."

Outside the courtroom, a crowd of reporters had already surrounded a mid-range car parked in the parking lot with the door open.

A man in his thirties, wearing a suit, came out.

He has a well-proportioned figure and a good temperament. With that confident smiling face, he gives people a sense of confidence.

Lan Zhengye, who got out of the car, waved his hands around.

This action also attracted screams from several female reporters nearby.

"Lan Gaojian is so handsome!"

"I don't care, Lan Gao must win this time. I advise the opponent to take care of himself and don't be ignorant of flattery!"

"From now on, I will be Lan Gaojian's face fan, and I want to do a private interview with Lan Gaojian!"

"You can drag you down. After Lan Gao won the case, there are too many people who want to interview him. No matter what, it won't be your turn!"

Lan Zhengye did not expect that so many reporters would come to this case.

However, he does not reject the media, just because he has been a prosecutor for so many years, and he also knows that if the power of the media can be used for himself, then it is a powerful weapon.

"Prosecutor Lan Gao, do you have anything to say about this case?"

Faced with a reporter's question, Lan Zhengye smiled, and said to the microphone that was handed over: "Friends from the media, hello, I am Lan Zhengye, the prosecutor's representative in this case, and it is inconvenient for me to disclose any details about the case. , but what I can tell you is that the local prosecutor's headquarters will not let any murderer go, and will definitely bring the guilty to justice!"

"Prosecutor Lan Gao, I heard that your opponent this time is the old enemy of the District Prosecutor's Headquarters, Zhang Wei, who is known as the "Nemesis of the District Prosecutor's Headquarters", what do you think of the opponent in this court trial? "

"Zhang Wei?"

Lan Zhengye thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "It's not convenient for me to express my opinion on this lawyer Zhang, but I can tell you clearly that a trainee lawyer who has just entered the industry for a short time, don't think that he has won a few cases and think I am invincible in the world, to use one of my favorite words, that is, there are people beyond people, and there are people beyond heaven!"

This attitude is full of gunpowder!

"Prosecutor Lan Gao, what do you think of the suspect in this case?"

"Prosecutor Lan Gao, according to rumors, the victim in this case, Zeng Xiang, seems to have harassed the suspect. What do you think of this point of view?"

"Lan Gaojian..."

Seeing that inspector Lan Gao answered two questions, the media would naturally not let him go and planned to continue asking.

But Lan Zhengye glanced at the time and quickly waved his hands to make way for the media reporters.

He squeezed through the crowd and walked towards the gate of the court.

Obviously, he no longer intends to talk to the reporter at the door.

After passing through the siege of reporters and entering the court, he met with Assistant Prosecutor Zhao Jing who had been waiting here, and then the two went into the preparation room to discuss countermeasures.

"The prosecution is already in place, do you know where the defense is?"

At this moment, the reporters discovered a problem. The prosecution of both sides of the trial arrived. Why did the defense have been missing for so long?

In fact, the defense had already arrived, but he took the safe passage through the back door of the court.

inside the courthouse.

A certain person is not ashamed of his behavior of going through the back door, but proud of it.

"Hey, this case is the first public prosecution of a homicide case in the first year. There must be many media reporters at the door. Why should I go through the front door? These reporters are probably planning to attack me!"

Zhang Wei glanced at the time and went straight to the defense preparation room.

Not long after, he heard commotion outside the gate of the court, and he knew it was the client.

More than ten minutes later, Fang Yunshu, the party concerned, entered the preparation room under the escort of two field staff.

"Brother Zhao, where is he?"

"Today is the day of the pre-trial, not the court session. His presence or absence will not affect the pre-trial. And yesterday I asked him to help and went to your house to collect clues. Didn't you say that your ex-husband hacked your home's security system? Investigate Ke did not find any traces, I think Uncle Zhao may be able to find clues!"

"So that's the case!" Fang Yunshu nodded, and understood that Zhao Qingyan did have a mission.

"Thank you Brother Zhao for your help, but that guy's skills are very good. Although I am not a technician, I know that even Brother Zhao may not be able to find clues!"

"Your ex-husband is so fierce?"

"Yes, there is a specialization in surgery. His studio is good at security systems. Brother Zhao is not bad at technology, but he is an all-round talent. He knows everything and is the top. compared to..."

Fang Yunshu didn't finish speaking, but Zhang Wei already understood.

Zhao Qingyan develops in all aspects, it can be said that he is a hexagonal fighter, and all the items are the highest in the routine.

But Zeng Xiang may be a super-specialized fighter, and the other items are of average level, but for the security system, he may far exceed the conventional limit, which is an exception item.

"I hope..." Zhang Wei curled his lips, discussed with Fang Yunshu for a while, and then prepared to enter the courtroom.

inside the courtroom.

There is still a little time before the pre-trial hearing.

As Zhang Wei and Fang Yunshu entered the arena, the court fell silent for an instant.

"This is that lawyer Zhang. I remember I haven't seen him go to the criminal court for a long time?"

"Yeah, he seemed to be messing with civil courts before. I heard that he won the insurance company's case, and even reached a settlement with the victim's family for the beverage company. I heard that the methods are disgraceful!"

"Hmph, a lawyer who loses money and is now back in the criminal court, probably the client paid a lot of lawyer fees?"

"This kind of scumbag lawyer sues for money, I urge everyone to boycott him!"

"I've resisted it a long time ago. Since he provoked our media, our leader has ordered him to be banned!"

"This time his opponent is Lan Gaojian, I guess this guy will accept a big defeat!"

"Nonsense, how can we fight this case? That woman is the murderer. It is estimated that Zhang Wei will apply for a discretionary commutation of sentence and advocate a guilty plea!"

"Hmph, Lan Gaojian is a veteran, I believe that if he makes a move, it is absolutely impossible to commute that woman's sentence!"

Listening to the pointers from the surrounding media, Zhang Wei has already calmed down and can face it calmly.

But Fang Yunshu on the side couldn't do it. She was said to be a murderer, and her face was very ugly.

Escorted by outsiders, the two entered the courtroom and walked onto the defense bench.

"Lawyer Zhang, hello!"

Right after Zhang Wei took his seat, Lan Zhengye and his assistant Zhao Jing stepped forward, smiling and extending his hand.

"Prosecutor Lan Gao, you are also good, and Prosecutor Zhao, you look good today!"

Zhang Wei also stood up, shook hands with the other party, and greeted Zhao Jing who was beside him.

"Lawyer Zhang, I've seen all your cases before. Your defense for innocent people is wonderful, but this is the first time you're defending a murderer, right?"

"Really, but why do I feel that there is no difference from before?"

"Oh, what you mean is that you don't intend to apply for a discretionary commutation of sentence, but to defend your innocence?"

"Prosecutor Lan Gao, you will know my arguments later, why rush?"

Lan Zhengye looked at the person in front of him, narrowing his eyes slightly.

He finally saw that the kid in front of him had been making false claims with him.

"Okay, then this time, let's decide the outcome in court!" Lan Zhengye returned to his seat with Zhao Jing.

"This high-ranking inspector Lan has a typical smile with a knife in his face!"

Zhang Wei also looked at each other, his face getting colder.

"Zhang Wei seems to really intend to plead not guilty. Doesn't he know that doing so is tantamount to digging a hole for himself?"

After Lan Zhengye returned to his seat, he hurriedly asked Zhao Jing next to him.

In his understanding, Zhang Wei's behavior was a little abnormal.

In this case, a lawyer would probably consider commuting the sentence as appropriate. You actually consider not guilty. This is not to find guilt for yourself.

So many people saw the murder scene of the suspect, and you still said that the woman was innocent. Are you talking nonsense with your eyes open?

"Lawyer Zhang, he...he has always been unpredictable..."

Although Zhao Jing had only fought against Zhang Wei once, she was also psychologically shadowed, and she was a little unconfident in her answer.

"Hmph, no matter how much the jumping clown jumps around, he will never get on the stage. If he chooses to defend a murderer, the ending is already doomed!"

Lan Zhengye was rather confident, and scoffed at Zhang Wei's choice.

the next table.

"My mother-in-law hasn't arrived yet, I still want to say hello to her before the court starts!"

Zhang Wei's gaze was always on the entrance of the court. He was thinking about what to say when he saw Li Qinghua later.

Fortunately, his waiting paid off. Li Qinghua finally arrived just five minutes before the trial.

Her position is the clerk's position on the judge's side. She is responsible for recording all the information of the court, which is the clerk's duty.

As soon as Li Qinghua walked into the court, she felt a burst of eyes sweeping over her.

"Zhang Wei!"

Li Qinghua's expression darkened when he saw the person standing in the defense seat looking at him with a smile in the courtroom.

"Little Li, who are you looking at?"

Right behind Li Qinghua, Judge Chen in a robe also walked into the courtroom.

"Old Chen, I see that kid, he..."

Li Qinghua pointed to the defense seats, but didn't know how to introduce Zhang Wei.

Because of the matter between Zhang Wei and his own daughter, the horoscope has not been written yet.

Li Qinghua was naturally unwilling to say that the other party was his son-in-law.

But apart from this relationship, she and Zhang Wei don't seem to have much to do with each other.

"Mother-in-law, hello!"

But if she doesn't shout, someone doesn't mind.

Seeing Li Qinghua enter the court, Zhang Wei immediately joined him.

"mother in law?"

Judge Chen on the side was stunned, but then realized that Li Qinghua did have a daughter.

It's just that I didn't expect that this girl was already famous.

"Hello, Judge Chen!"

After Zhang Wei and Li Qinghua said hello, they also greeted Judge Chen with a smile.

"Young man, are you the defense lawyer?"

"Yes, my client is Ms. Fang Yunshu!"

"Oh, that's right. Fortunately, Xiao Li is just a clerk, otherwise I would have thought of letting her avoid it for a while!"

Judge Chen made a joke, and then went to the trial seat on his own regardless of what Zhang Wei said.

"Don't get close to me, kid. Don't think that you can influence the judgment by wooing me. I can't talk about the case with Judge Chen!"

In order to avoid suspicion, Li Qinghua took the initiative to keep a distance from Zhang Wei, and warned with a cold face.

"Mother-in-law, I just came to say hello to you!" Zhang Wei naturally yelled for injustice.

It's useless for me to win over you as a clerk, but you feel too good, right?

To be honest, if it weren't for the simple relationship, he wouldn't even bother to be polite to Li Qinghua.

All in all, after Zhang Wei greeted Li Qinghua, he immediately returned to the defense bench.

And as the judge entered the arena, the entire courtroom became somewhat solemn.

Boom boom boom!

On the trial seat, Judge Chen took his seat and sounded the gavel!

This also indicates that the pre-trial is about to begin.
