Crazy, You Call This a Trainee Lawyer

Court scene.

With the entry of the judge and the announcement of the hammer, the trial finally began.

"The plaintiff!"

Ni Qiuping nodded to the plaintiff's seat, and Paul Chen got up immediately.

The plaintiff's opening statement began.

"On the 31st of last month, at 2:45 p.m., at a coffee shop in Southeast Pedestrian Street, my client, Ms. Ji Guoguo, was molested by the defendant Xia Qianjun!"

Paul Chen pointed at Xia Qianjun on the dock, and said in a stern tone: "The defendant knows that my client has a good impression of him, but he went so far as to try to commit obscene acts in public. If my client hadn't screamed loudly, it is hard to guarantee that the situation will not go wrong. It has grown to an even more terrifying level!"

"For the defendant Xia Qianjun's behavior of molesting women in public, we will naturally not condone. Such a real culprit should be severely punished and my client should be given justice!"

"be opposed to!"

Chen Paulo's words were interrupted by Li Qingmu.

"Defendant's lawyer, the plaintiff is still in the presentation stage, you also interrupt?" Ni Qiuping raised her eyebrows in the trial seat.

"Your Honor, the plaintiff's lawyer used the wrong word!"

Li Qingmu also knew that generally he would not interrupt the courtroom statement, but who let him catch the opponent's flaw.

"Before the official ruling of this case, my client Xia Qianjun was only a suspect in the case, but the plaintiff used the word 'true murder'. I think this is really against the rules, right?"

"You're right!"

Ni Qiuping nodded, and then looked at Paul Chen: "Lawyer Chen, please pay attention to the words you use. Although I know you are not from Longguo, I also know that your Longguo language is very good. Don't use words and other habits as excuses." , I know your intentions!"

"Your Honor, I apologize for my poor choice of words!"

Paul Chen immediately confessed and apologized to the dock.

A hint of helplessness also flashed in his eyes, because he actually used the word "true murderer" on purpose, just to instill this concept in the six jurors during the opening statement.

Unfortunately, it was interrupted by the opponent.

It can also be seen that Li Qingmu is not an ordinary person.

After beating Paul Chen, Ni Qiuping didn't let Li Qingmu go, "Lawyer Li, although you pointed out the plaintiff's lawyer's mistake, I hope you will focus on this case instead of talking about words." Digging words!"

"Your Honor, I will try my best to restrain myself!"

Li Qingmu also bowed his head and admitted his mistake, but only he knew how sincere his attitude was.

"Okay, the plaintiff will continue!"

Ni Qiuping didn't intend to delve into this, and urged Chen Paulo to continue.

"Ahem, the plaintiff summoned the witness Zhou Chengzi to testify in court!"

Paul Chen did not waste any time and directly summoned the first witness.

This witness was Ji Guoguo's best friend and one of the few witnesses at the scene of the crime.

Of course, only she knew exactly what she saw.

Zhou Chengzi entered the courtroom and sat on the witness stand.

"Hello, Miss Zhou!"

"Hello."

"Please tell us what your relationship is with our client,"

"I'm Guoguo's good friend and girlfriend."

"So on the day of the incident, were you by her side?"

"Yes, I accompanied her all the way that day, even...at that time, I was by her side!"

After Zhou Chengzi finished speaking, he glanced at the dock, with a slightly unfriendly look in his eyes.

This scene happened to be seen by the jury, and they seemed to know it well.

Paul Chen was very satisfied with this answer, and immediately asked: "Then, could you please describe the situation that day?"

"Well, yes!"

Zhou Chengzi thought for a moment, and stated: "That day, Guoguo and I actually made an appointment with someone, but I didn't expect him to break the appointment, so Guoguo and I decided to go to the agreed place first."

"That store is called 'Love Kitchen'. It is a place for us young people to learn to cook. There are responsible aunts who will teach us how to cook. Usually, couples or good friends form a team to complete the cooking of food together."

"On that day, we entered the store and saw a handsome guy... the defendant. He happened to be alone. Auntie stopped him from entering. Out of good intentions, Guoguo and I felt that this handsome guy was quite pitiful. I formed a team with him and went into the kitchen together."

"Afterwards, we finished cooking, went out together, and then went to a famous coffee shop on the pedestrian street to drink coffee. As a result, while drinking coffee, the defendant deliberately chose an inconspicuous location, and then he...he..."

Seeing that Zhou Chengzi was hesitating to speak, Paul Chen quickly smiled: "Miss Zhou, don't be afraid, this is a holy court, please tell us what happened in the coffee shop?"

"The defendant suddenly became dishonest. Not only did he touch Guoguo with his hands, but he also attempted... tried...to kiss Guoguo's face with his mouth. He...he is shameless!"

Zhou Chengzi pointed at Xia Qianjun and complained in a slightly crying tone.

"Um……"

In the jury box, all six jurors looked at the dock with naked eyes.

Good boy, seeing how talented you are, I never thought you would do such a thing.

Why don't you slow down a bit, girls like you all have a crush on you, but you don't even have that little patience?

Some people had a cold look on their faces, some cursed inwardly for not being able to live up to their expectations, and some even looked disgusted and looked away in disgust.

Anyway, the jury's only thought was that Xia Qianjun did it.

I didn't see other girls crying, pointing at you with red eyes and cursing, you must have done it!

The wind direction of the court began to change.

In the hearing booth, many journalists have already begun to write short essays.

What about "Blood and Tears of a Young Girl Suing Deng Tuzi", "Behind Her Good Looks, Her Dirty Hearts Are Hidden", "Crying in Court, Pointing Out the Only Dressed Beast" and so on.

Their titles are more explosive than the other.

"It's not right~"

Zhang Wei can also see that the direction of the court is a bit subtle.

Although this was only the first witness, Zhou Chengzi's acting skills were really good, and even with a few words, the jury felt sympathetic.

Of course, this is also Li Qingmu's fault.

If the jurors he screened during the preliminary trial were more reliable and less sentimental, perhaps this would not have happened.

Anyway, now, the six jurors all think that Xia Qianjun is a bad guy.

"quiet!"

Seeing the noise in the hearing booth and the jury box being affected by the crying of the witnesses, Ni Qiuping immediately struck the hammer to warn the audience.

"Lawyer Chen, do you have any questions?"

"Your Honor, we have nothing more to ask about Miss Zhou!"

Judge Chen smiled, glanced at the dock, and then walked back to his seat.

He seemed very confident, including Li Qingmu's possible cross-examination by Zhou Chengzi, and he was not worried at all.

"Lawyer Li, it's your turn!"

In fact, without Ni Qiuping's reminder, Li Qingmu had already stood up.

"Witness, you said my client molested your good friend?"

"Yes!" Zhou Chengzi answered affirmatively, with an unhappy expression on his face.

"How did he insult him?"

"be opposed to!"

When Li Qingmu asked a question, Paul Chen immediately got up to stop him.

"Your Honor, since the witness is the only eyewitness to this case, there seems to be nothing wrong with our asking about the details of the incident, right?"

"Your Honor, it seems to me that it is very inhumane for a girl to tell the story of her good friend being molested in public. Please think about it from the woman's point of view, and don't condone such injustice!"

"Your Honor, witnesses are obliged to tell the court what happened. This is also for the sake of justice. We strongly urge witnesses to state what happened. The jury and everyone in the court want to know some details of the case!"

"Your Honor, there is actually no need to describe the incident, because the defendant is very clear in his heart, how could he forget what he has done!"

"Lawyer Chen, I don't understand, why do you object to the witness fulfilling his obligations?"

"Lawyer Li, you are trying to make things difficult for others. If you let a young girl say those things, are you still a man?"

"quiet!"

When Ni Qiuping saw the two arguing in court, she immediately interrupted the fight.

"Don't quarrel, you two, this is the court scene, not the vegetable market!"

She snorted coldly, then looked at the witness stand.

After hesitating for a moment, Ni Qiuping still said: "Although I think it is wrong to do so morally, but in terms of law, I think the witness has an obligation to answer Lawyer Li's questions!"

"Thank you judge for understanding!"

Li Qingmu smiled slightly, this time he won the confrontation.

Although Chen Baoluo flashed a trace of dissatisfaction on his face, he quickly suppressed it.

He winked at Zhou Chengzi on the witness stand, who immediately understood.

Paul Chen returned to the plaintiff's seat, and Li Qingmu also came to the witness's seat.

"Witness, you heard what the judge said. Please tell everyone exactly what happened in the coffee shop that day."

Seeing Li Qingmu staring at him, Zhou Chengzi glanced at the defendant's seat, then at Ji Guoguo in the plaintiff's seat, hesitated, and opened his mouth, "That day, that day..."

"What happened that day?" Li Qingmu took another step closer.

"That day at the coffee shop, the defendant reached out to touch Guoguo's thigh, and then he..."

"Is he like this?"

"He's just... woo woo woo... He touches Guoguo, he..."

Zhou Chengzi seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly burst into tears in court.

She didn't hide her crying at all, her eye circles were red, and her whole face was almost distorted.

"this……"

Li Qingmu was stunned when he saw this scene.

I asked you to state what happened, but not what to do, why did you react so strongly?

"Good guy, it's this move!"

In the hearing booth, Zhang Wei narrowed his eyes, as if he saw something.

His eyes swept across the audience, and finally locked on Paul Chen in the plaintiff's seat.

Seeing the latter's expression at the moment, he was quite smug, and there was a weird smile on the corner of his mouth.

Obviously, Zhou Chengzi burst into tears in court, which was his countermeasure to Li Qingmu's interrogation methods.

"Witness, please don't cry, I just want you to answer the question!"

"Woo woo woo..."

"Witness, please be quiet..."

"Woo woo woo..."

"Your Honor, how can I ask the witness like this?"

Li Qingmu had no choice but to look at Ni Qiuping.

The latter rubbed his head, also unlovable.

"Witness, please be quiet, or I will betray you and contempt the court!"

Ni Qiuping's yelling finally calmed Zhou Chengzi a little, but her face was still crying, and her shoulders were twitching uncontrollably.

The witness finally became quiet for a while, and then Li Qingmu spoke: "Witness, please tell me, what happened that day?"

"That day, that day..."

Seeing Li Qingmu asking this question, Zhou Chengzi burst into tears again.

"Woooooh, that day I saw Guoguo being molested by that man. He touched Guoguo's legs, hugged Guoguo, and wanted to kiss her. When his mouth came close, Guoguo hugged her Pushed away, then Guoguo yelled molestation, then, then, woo woo woo..."

Zhou Chengzi was not surprised, and cried again in court, even louder than before.

"this……"

This time, it was Li Qingmu's turn to have nothing to love.

"Your Honor, she..."

"I see!"

Ni Qiuping raised her hand to signal Li Qingmu not to ask anymore, she winked to the left and right.

"Take her down. The witness has already told some details about the incident. I don't think it's appropriate to force her. Take her away, take her away..."

The left and right court guards acted immediately, the female court guards supported Zhou Chengzi, and the male court guards escorted them to the side, leading the witnesses out together.

Li Qingmu said inwardly that it was a pity, because this witness did not ask any questions.

On the contrary, because of the other party's crying, the six jurors in the jury box became more hostile towards Xia Qianjun.

He also had to feel that a woman's tears and cries were indeed weapons!

With helplessness, he could only return to the dock.

"Lawyer Chen?"

"Your Honor, the defense has summoned a second witness to testify in court!"

Subpoenaed by Paul Chen, the second witness appeared in court, a young woman.

"Witness, please tell everyone, why did we summon you?"

"Actually, I don't know the defendant or the plaintiff at all. I was drinking coffee in a coffee shop that day, and I sat right next to them, and I heard the plaintiff yelling molestation..."

The woman's explanation is for everyone to understand.

She was also a witness and was in the coffee shop at the time of the incident.

"Impossible. Hanhan and I also asked many people, and they all said they didn't see what happened. This woman should be farther away than the people I asked, right?"

Zhang Wei looked strange when he saw this woman.

Because yesterday he and Xia Qianyue not only watched the coffee shop's surveillance, but also found a few possible witnesses according to the surveillance.

However, none of these people saw what happened. They only surrounded Ji Guoguo after he yelled molestation.

Come to think of it, this woman should be the same.

"Since the last witness, Ms. Zhou, has no way to tell everyone what happened, I invite you to be a witness and tell everyone what you saw."

"Oh well!"

After thinking for a while, the female witness recalled: "I was waiting for my sister that day, so I drank coffee on the Southeast Pedestrian Street. I remembered that I was sitting in a corner. I was about to finish my cup of coffee. I looked at the time and found that Before my sister arrived, I was about to refill my cup, but just as I was about to get up, there was a scream from a few tables next door, and it was the plaintiff girl who grabbed the defendant boy's hand, and then yelled molestation!"

"Then have you seen how the defendant molested my client?"

"No, I only looked over when I heard the yelling, and I didn't see what happened."

"Then did you see the reaction of both parties after seeing my client screaming?"

"That's what I saw."

"Can you please describe their reaction?"

"Well, let me think about it..."

The witness glanced at the plaintiff, "The girl was very flustered and frightened, she was holding on to the boy's hand, and she had a friend beside her, both of them were pulling the boy, they..."

"And what about the defendant's reaction?"

"The defendant seemed very anxious and wanted to leave the coffee shop. Anyway, he tried to push the girl, and I saw it!"

"Oh~"

Paul Chen was very satisfied with this answer, and immediately said: "So, the defendant was guilty of guilt and wanted to flee the scene as soon as possible?"

"be opposed to!"

How could Li Qingmu let the other party get what he wanted, so he got up immediately.

"Your Honor, I take back what I just said!"

Ni Qiuping was about to speak out immediately, but Paul Chen didn't give her a chance and immediately apologized.

The former can only stare at the latter, but only God knows how deterrent this glance is.

Although the judge issued a warning, the lawyers present all knew one thing.

Will the jury listen, of course not~

Hearing that Xia Qianjun wanted to push the girl away and flee the scene, the jury looked at him even more unkindly.

"Your Honor, we have no problem with witnesses!"

After Chen Baoluo finished speaking, he smiled at Li Qingmu, which meant: I will leave the witness to you.

Li Qingmu stood up and walked to the witness stand.

"Witness, I just have one question, did you see my client molesting the plaintiff?"

"No."

"Then did you see my client do anything to the plaintiff?"

"nor."

"That is to say, my client probably didn't insult the other party, but the other party made a false accusation!"

"I don't know, I didn't see what happened..."

Li Qingmu looked at the witness, it's a pity that the woman in front of him is really just an innocent person.

Nothing is clear about the course of the case.

The only thing she saw was the scene where Xia Qianjun wanted to leave the coffee shop.

And this scene is extremely unfavorable to them.

Unfortunately, Li Qingmu didn't think of any good countermeasures, and there was no breakthrough in this witness.

In the end, he could only sigh: "Your Honor, we have nothing more to ask about this witness."

Li Qingmu had no choice but to return to the dock.

Paul Chen finally laughed. He arranged for this witness to hit Li Qingmu and make him feel powerless.

As for the role that this witness can play, it is actually not that great.

"Lawyer Chen, do you have any witnesses?"

"Of course, Your Honor, we will summon the most important witnesses to appear in court!"

Hearing what Paul Chen said, the atmosphere in the courtroom suddenly became tense.

The most critical witness, of course, was the victim, Ji Guoguo.

"Is it finally coming up?"

At this moment, this sentence flashed through the minds of everyone in the audience.

This also means that the ultimate move of the plaintiff is finally coming!
