Monday, pre-trial day.

Today is the third week of April, and the pre-trial hearing will officially start on Monday.

As a frequent visitor to the headlines of the scandal in the Oriental Capital some time ago, this case has attracted the attention of everyone in the city.

Ren Xinwei, the seventh richest man in Oriental Metropolis, died. His current wife, Zhu Tianying, was accused of murder. The local prosecutor's headquarters will open the trial this week.

The crime of murder alone is enough to attract attention, and it also involves the death of a rich man in this city. Coupled with the exaggeration and reports of major media, the topic of this case is unprecedentedly high.

9 o'clock in the morning.

City Court gate.

A luxury pick-up car was parked at the gate of the court. After seeing the news, the media personnel stationed here all rushed to it.

The door of the pick-up car was wide open, and dozens of bodyguards in black filed down, blocking all the media reporters outside.

Afterwards, Zhu Tianying, who was in a wheelchair and on IV, was escorted by Hu Yaode and Jiang Fengzhen of Heizu Law Firm, and walked into the gate of the Municipal Court.

Although they were blocked by a wall of black-clothed bodyguards, the media reporters didn't know where to stop.

There are only two parties to a murder case, one is dead and the other is in sight, and they're not going to let it go.

"Miss Zhu Tianying, do you have anything to say about the murder of Ren Fuhao?"

"Miss Zhu, did you murder Ren Fuhao for his 60 billion property?"

"The latest rumors, the investigation department found evidence of your cheating on your lover, do you have anything to explain?"

"Miss Zhu, did you really murder Ren Xinwei and then fake the crime scene in order to exonerate yourself?"

"It is rumored that your lover collaborated with you to forge evidence, and even returned to the scene to destroy the evidence after the incident..."

"Miss Zhu..."

Questions were raised one by one, all the way to Zhu Tianying in the wheelchair.

Hearing this series of unceremonious questions, Zhu Tianying had to close her eyes tightly, but a vein popped up on her forehead.

Her heart was not peaceful, and she was even a little angry.

"When I inherit Ren's Films, I will let the media ban you reporters who ask questions, so that you can only be the lowest paparazzi in your life!"

Looking at the group of people around, Zhu Tianying thought viciously in her heart.

"Miss Zhu, don't be nervous, I have arranged for a friend to help you handle the media, so don't worry!"

Jiang Fengzhen lowered her head and whispered something in Zhu Tianying's ear to reassure her.

A group of people ignored the media and walked straight into the gate of the city court, leaving only the back view of the media reporters.

grass!

Seeing that the boss had left, I didn't get any news, and the reporters who interviewed were very unhappy.

But a moment later, a well-dressed woman walked out of the gate of the city court.

She looks about 35 years old, with a well-maintained body and fair skin. She has curly orange-red hair, slightly protruding cheekbones, deep eye sockets, and a sense of mixed race in her facial features.

"Who is this……"

"Isn't this Cheng Lisha?"

"The Lisa Cheng from "Interview with Lisa"? "

"Yes, it's her!"

"Not only does she host Lisa's interview, but she also has many first-line programs under her name. She has been a guest in various interview programs in Longguo. She is a real super-first-line media person in the East!"

Seeing this woman appear, the reporters at the scene did not dare to say anything, they could only whisper.

Because this one is a big shot in the media circle of Dongfang Metropolis, a top-tier journalist.

"Hello, friends from the press, I am Cheng Lisha, and I am also Ms. Zhu Tianying's spokesperson in this case, and I will answer questions from media friends on behalf of Ms. Zhu!"

After Cheng Lisha appeared, she immediately revealed her identity.

Apparently, she was hired by Heizu to stand for Zhu Tianying, and was responsible for dealing with the media.

"Please stay calm, everyone, and I will answer your questions one by one!"

Cheng Lisha said, pointing to one of the reporters.

She is an expert in the media circle and naturally knows how to deal with the media.

If you don't answer anything, the media will be impatient and ask random questions.

But if you choose to answer one by one, they will be quiet and pray that they will be selected.

Even if it's not their turn the first time, they will wait knowing that you don't show your intention to end.

Cheng Lisha didn't say how long the interview was, and the reporters naturally thought that she would answer all the questions.

At worst, when the time was almost up, she immediately turned away and left, and the group of reporters had nothing to do with her.

But now...

Facing the first reporter's question, Cheng Lisha replied very professionally:

"As for this reporter's question, I can tell you that Ms. Zhu Tianying is absolutely self-defense. I think any woman can understand what she did!"

"The case of Fang Yunshu was famous in the East some time ago. I believe everyone knows that Ms. Fang was mentally abused by her ex-husband Zeng Xiang, so she acted in a reasonable and legitimate self-defense. My friend, Ms. Zhu, did the same. in this way!"

This answer even quoted Zhang Wei's previous defense cases.

But when Fang Yunshu was first accused, Cheng Lisha did not express any views.

But now, Fang Yunshu has become an available case for Cheng Lisha to defend Zhu Tianying after Fang Yunshu was found not guilty.

"Then what happened to Zhu Tianying's cheating?"

The second reporter's question was also expected by Cheng Lisha.

"As for this reporter's question, on behalf of Ms. Zhu, I can give you an affirmative answer. This is all nonsense. My friend, Ms. Zhu, has never cheated on her. She has always loved her husband Ren Xinwei deeply. The other party has done so many things that have hurt her, and she has always maintained her undivided love for the latter."

"Then what about the evidence found by the investigation department, they said they found the man over the weekend?"

"The evidence found by the investigation department is nothing more than a one-sided accusation. As for the so-called lover they found, it is just a male friend that Ms. Zhu made in life. There is no ambiguous relationship between the two parties, and Ms. Zhu will never I will do anything to be sorry for my husband!"

"Then how do you explain this trial? It's impossible for the local prosecutor's headquarters to accuse Ms. Zhu Tianying of murder for nothing, right?"

"My friend, your question is very ignorant!"

Faced with the sudden question, Cheng Lisha laughed, "Whoever said the local prosecutor's headquarters must be right. I think they were prompted by 'something', so they sued my friend Ms. Zhu!"

"Please think about it, if Ms. Zhu is found guilty, which party will gain the most benefit? Are those shareholders of Ren's Film Industry, those blood-sucking capitalists, who can take all of Mr. Ren Xinwei's assets before his death? Yes, and nothing to his legal wife?"

"My friend Ms. Zhu, she has been with Mr. Ren Xinwei for five full years. She has given her youth and everything she has. She deserves everything she deserves. She is also willing to fight against those powerful forces for her own benefit! "

When Cheng Lisha said this, her tone gradually became agitated: "Here, I appeal to all friends in the media to help me and Ms. Zhu to speak out. Ms. Zhu is an absolutely vulnerable group in this case, and the actions of the local prosecutor's headquarters are exactly Help the powerful group standing behind the scenes!"

"Whether it is my friend Ms. Zhu or the dead Mr. Ren Xinwei, they are all victims of this case. One of them is already dead, but the other is still accused of murder. Behind the scenes, the capital that manipulates everything and shows its fangs to a woman, those shareholders and senior directors of Ren's Pictures, they are the real villains, they are the real bloodthirsty, a group of greedy wolves!"

"Okay, that's all for my answers, today's questioning session is over!"

Cheng Lisha did not ask questions to other reporters in the end, because her goal had been achieved.

She wanted to package Zhu Tianying as a weak woman, and direct the direction of public opinion to the board of directors behind Ren's Pictures, because they were the ones who were hindering Zhu Tianying from obtaining the right to inherit.

As for whether Zhu Tianying really killed someone, she didn't care because she was paid for it.

The media wanted to continue asking questions, but Cheng Lisha turned around and walked into the city court without giving the media any chance.

All the media reporters could only stand there and stare blankly.

This time, Cheng Lisa answered two questions with a few thoughts, and then said a lot of words to help Zhu Tianying support, what should they do?

There is no other way but to write like this.

Who made the other side of this case, the local prosecutor's headquarters, no one stand up and speak out?

But they were also wondering, since the local prosecutor's headquarters decided to sue Zhu Tianying, why didn't they say anything.

In fact, the answer is also simple. There are too few people from the local prosecutor's headquarters, and there is no manpower to deal with the media.

City Court, the window of a preparation room.

"Good guy, this is the power of the media to create momentum for Zhu Tianying!"

"Then Cheng Lisha, I remember being very powerful in the press, what she said just now is undoubtedly guiding public opinion!"

"Comparing Zhu Tianying to a vulnerable group is the most likely to win the support of the public, and also linking your local prosecutors with the vicious ZB family. This is an attempt to create double pressure on you both inside and outside the court!"

Zhang Wei walked back to his seat from the window, making complaints as he walked.

Naturally, he could see that Zhu Tianying did not have these energies, and this move was obviously used by Heizu.

Fortunately, the person who bears this pressure is finally no longer himself.

In front of him, Li Yueqin was accompanying Mr. Ding of Ren's Films to carry out some simulation exercises.

President Ding will appear in court as the prosecution's first witness.

At the same time, Xiao Baihe was also conducting a simulation exercise for Tan Yingying.

After a weekend of investigation and counseling, Tan Yingying was finally not as timid as before.

Every time she gets nervous, she will take a few deep breaths on the spot to cheer herself up.

"The court time is approaching, let's go in too!"

After looking at the time, Zhang Wei hurriedly urged.

Everyone left the preparation room and then entered the courtroom.

Municipal Court, Grand Court 1A.

The big court, which can accommodate a hundred people, seems a bit crowded at the moment.

The hearing booth was full, and there were even a few people standing in the aisle. When the court guard was about to expel them, they all took out their press cards.

Obviously, so many reporters came this time that there was no room for the hearing seats.

Zhang Wei was in the front row of the hearing booth, and saw Tie Ruyun and Lin Yumeng, and even Bai Meiqi and Bai Ruoyun, as well as many lawyers from Jincheng, many of whom had never met Zhang Wei.

"Good guy, everyone is here to watch the excitement!"

He knew that the little apprentice and the old iron might be cheering for him, but the others probably came because of Zhu Tianying's case, after all, the case was too hot.

In addition to Jincheng Law Firm, he also saw many people from other top law firms, and even the young master Qin from Longteng International had a seat on the hearing bench.

"This is just a preliminary trial. There are so many people here. Isn't it even more exaggerated on the day of the trial? Is the court estimated to be overwhelmed?"

Seeing this number, Zhang Wei was really shocked.

Fortunately, as the lawyer representing the victim's family, he can sit in the front seat for the prosecution, so he doesn't have to worry about not having a seat.

At the defense table, Hu Yaode and Jiang Fengzhen were already in place, accompanying Zhu Tianying on the left and right sides.

As the defendant, Zhu Tianying still looked haggard, with a pale complexion and a morbid temperament, which easily aroused the sympathy of others.

Under the watchful eyes of the audience, Zhang Wei and Tan Yingying walked into the arena and sat on the prosecutor's seat.

"Where's the large army at your local prosecutor's headquarters, why didn't they come to support you?"

Zhang Wei glanced around and found that Zhao Chunming, who always supported his subordinates' work, was not present today.

Hearing this, Tan Yingying couldn't help but sigh again, "The supervisor said, I have to take responsibility for the cases I take on myself, so he won't come to support me!"

"Isn't this a proper double standard?"

Zhang Wei muttered and was speechless.

Zhao Chunming would be there every time he had a lawsuit against Zhang, but it turned out that Zhang Wei was a teammate, so he didn't come?

Zhao Chunming's behavior really makes people complain.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here!"

Zhang Wei can only comfort Tan Yingying, let me take you as a teammate today.

"Hey...hope..." Tan Yingying replied weakly.

"stand up!"

While the audience was waiting, the judge finally entered.

"Let us welcome the respected Judge Ni Qiuping!"

Just as the court guard announced, a cold-faced middle-aged woman walked into the court wearing a robe.

"No, isn't she a judge in a civil court?"

Zhang Wei was surprised when he saw the person coming.

"Ni...Ni...Ni Qiuping Judge..."

Tan Yingying saw the other party appear, her face was bloodless, and she was even lifeless.

"It's actually this..."

On the defense table, Hu Yaode frowned slightly.

"How could it be her, the judge of the civil court is here?"

Even Jiang Fengzhen, who was on the side, was also puzzled.

"Before the trial begins, both the prosecution and the defense should come here, this court wants to tell you something!"

After Ni Qiuping took her seat, she waved to the seats of the prosecution and the defense.

Although Tan Yingying's legs were weak from fright, she still stepped forward under the encouragement of Zhang Wei's eyes.

Jiang Fengzhen also came to court.

Ni Qiuping beckoned to the two of them, and Tan Yingying and Jiang Fengzhen moved forward again, their heads almost touching each other.

Ni Qiuping lowered her head and scolded in a low voice: "Do you know that because of this case, I'm about to be depressed recently; because of the woman sitting on the defense bench, our city court is also under a lot of pressure. Especially Those bastard male judges, they said that the public opinion outside is fierce, and they all say that rich men oppress a weak woman, and women are victims, so they threw this fucking case to me, the only qualified female judge!"

"I thought about refusing, but the first judge pulled me into the office and trained me for 30 minutes. Do you know how the old man trained me? You know that you have to endure a slaughterhouse pig howling in your ear for 30 minutes. Minutes, how much patience and perseverance are needed, do you two know?"

Tan Yingying and Jiang Fengzhen looked at each other, and both shook their heads.

"Well, I hope you all behave a little better in court. This is my mother's court. If you dare to do anything unruly, I will let you experience that feeling; I promise you, it will be yours. The horror that I don’t want to recall in my life!”

Ni Qiuping pointed at Tan Yingying and Jiang Fengzhen and warned them.

Jiang Fengzhen was fine, forced a smile, and nodded.

Tan Yingying was so frightened that she forgot to speak, and she didn't know how she got back to the prosecution's seat.

"Okay, let's both declare their arguments in court!"

Ni Qiuping hammered the hammer and began to preside over the pre-trial process.

Tan Yingying stood up first, suppressing the panic in her heart, her lips trembling, "Your Honor...accused...the prosecution believes...the defendant Zhu Tianying...had the fact that Ren Xinwei, the deceased in this case, was murdered..."

"...so the prosecution's claim is murder... life imprisonment."

Originally a few short sentences, because of the pressure from the judge, Tan Yingying finished speaking for 2 minutes.

Sitting on the trial seat, Ni Qiuping was about to yawn.

"Defense?"

"Your Honor, our client, Ms. Zhu Tianying, was wronged. She never thought of murdering her husband Ren Xinwei. What she did was self-defense. We advocate the defense of innocence. Ms. Zhu Tianying should be released without charge!"

"Okay, this court knows the arguments of both parties!"

Ni Qiuping tapped the hammer to confirm, then nodded to the court guard at the side, "Let the candidate jury come in, hurry up!"

As the candidate jurors walked into the courtroom, the atmosphere gradually became dignified.

"Zhang Wei, what should we do next?" Tan Yingying leaned over and asked in a low voice.

"Don't worry, you are the prosecution, let the defense ask questions first!"

Zhang Wei is quite calm, anyway, this time we can first look at the means of the defense.

Just after the jury candidates were all seated, Jiang Fengzhen got up and came to the jury table.

"Hello, all jurors, I believe you have all heard the name of my client more or less. In addition to the recent headlines of public opinion, this case has been reported at length. I would like to ask you, How many people can be truly fair and just without being influenced by public opinion?"

After Jiang Fengzhen asked, no one in the jury responded.

This question is really not easy to answer.

But this is the result Jiang Fengzhen wanted, she looked towards the trial seat:

"Your Honor, the defense requests the court to consider the situation of our client and the guidance of public opinion. I implore you to implement the necessary "isolation system" for the jury in this trial to prevent overwhelming public opinion guidance and interference. The court judgment is affected! "

Hearing Jiang Fengzhen's words, Ni Qiuping was not surprised.

But at the prosecution's seat, Zhang Wei frowned.

Good guy, the defense's first move is actually like this!
