Crazy, You Call This a Trainee Lawyer

Martial Arts Association, inside the detention center.

"At 8:00 p.m. last Thursday, the defendant Lin Xiao took his wife Chen Lan to go shopping on Jinnan Road, downtown street. The victim's brain was slightly impacted...Three days later, Wei Hong died of a sudden cerebral hemorrhage. According to the forensic examination, the cause of death was brain injury and internal hemorrhage. According to the confession record three days ago, the prosecution determined that Lin Xiao's pushing behavior caused Wei Hong's death , charged him with manslaughter..."

Zhang Wei finished reading a copy of the detailed rules of the case in front of Lin Xiao and Zhang Hui.

"You have also heard that the time, place, people, case process, damage and consequences of the incident are all in this document. The prosecution is based on this document to investigate you and finally find you the murderer, and charges of arrest and manslaughter have been brought against you."

In front of Zhang Wei, the defendant Lin Xiao had complex expressions, most of which was resentment towards Zhang Hui.

Because he remembered that it was this woman who made him confess, which eventually led to a series of bad things.

Faced with Lin Xiao's eyes that seemed to kill someone, Zhang Hui apologized very much.

But Zhang Wei didn't care about these, but looked at the other party and reminded in a cold voice:

"Mr. Lin, what you have to think about now is not to hate my senior sister, but to think about how to get rid of yourself, how to get rid of the accusation of manslaughter."

"what can I do!"

The latter said coldly, with an angry expression on his face: "I was working in the factory, but I was suddenly taken away by people from the Wuxi Association, who also said that I had killed someone and was charged with murder. What can I do, I was directly charged by them. Handcuffed away, just because last Thursday night, I pushed that guy, and now he is dead, I am a murderer, ah! What can I do, you are talking!?"

He said the back, getting more and more excited, and even almost jumped up.

But fortunately, he was really handcuffed this time, so he couldn't really jump up.

"You are too excited. Excitement will not solve the problem, and we are not here to see you incompetent and furious!"

Zhang Wei was very calm, watching the other party coldly.

Seeing Zhang Wei's expression, Lin Xiao's face was gloomy, and he asked, "Who are you?"

"Sorry, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Zhang Wei, and I am entrusted by senior sister Zhang Hui to be your defense lawyer."

"Defense counsel?"

"Yes, defense lawyer, but I want to tell you first that although I am a law student and have passed the law examination, I have not yet obtained a practicing qualification certificate, so I cannot provide paid legal aid, and I cannot receive commercial and civil legal aid. , transnational and other lawsuits, fortunately your defense is a criminal lawsuit, which is not included in this list.”

When Zhang Wei said this, he was a little rejoicing: "Fortunately, the regulations of the judicial circle of the Oriental Capital also take care of law students like me, which is very good. It is legal and compliant for me to help you with the lawsuit. The question is are you going to hire me?"

"You are still a student, you just passed the law test, and you don't even have a certificate!"

Although Lin Xiao didn't study the Fa, when Zhang Wei said this, the anger in his heart was ignited again.

"My cnm, you tm is still a student, you are here to make me happy!"

Lin Xiao roared immediately, but Zhang Wei just looked at him calmly.

"I understand your mood, but understanding is understanding. Since you don't need it, then I can only..."

Seeing that Lin Xiao couldn't communicate, Zhang Wei planned to leave.

But at this moment, outside the meeting room, the staff on duty from the Wushu Association walked in.

"Lin Xiao, your wife is here to see you!"

I saw a woman in a black windbreaker walking in with a 40-year-old man in a suit.

"Hey, let's go together!" Seeing the man in the suit, Zhang Wei knew the identity of the man.

The other party is also a lawyer!

"Wife!" Lin Xiao stood up when he saw the woman.

This woman is Lin Xiao's wife, Chen Lan, who is also an eyewitness in the case.

But any lawyer knows that the testimony between husband and wife does not have any credibility.

Chen Lan didn't respond, but the man in the suit beside him spoke first: "Mr. Lin, hello, I'm a lawyer hired by your wife, and this is my business card."

As he spoke, he handed a business card to Lin Xiao.

Zhang Wei took a peek and saw that the business card only had the word "Yu Liang" written on it, and there was no introduction of any law firm.

"It's actually an independent lawyer..."

"Lawyer Yu, are you here to help me with the lawsuit?" Seeing Yu Liang's appearance, Lin Xiao seemed to see a savior.

"This..." Yu Liang paused and looked at Chen Lan.

Chen Lan finally spoke: "Lawyer Yu, since you want to take my case, I have a request, can you help my husband with the lawsuit?"

But Yu Liang showed embarrassment: "What kind of case your husband is involved in, I haven't found out yet?"

Seeing this, Zhang Wei knew it in his heart.

He immediately came up to him, handed the file to Yu Liang, and said with a smile, "Hello, Lawyer Yu, it happens to be Mr. Lin Xiao's case. I have the file here, you can take a look first."

Although Yu Liang was curious about who Zhang Wei was, he subconsciously read the result file, and when he saw the first page, his expression became a little tense.

"What, the local prosecutor's office in the Eastern Metropolis has sued you, and it's still a crime of manslaughter!"

"You have pleaded guilty, how can you beat me, aren't you joking?"

"My God, the prosecutor's prosecution is only this week, and there is no time to prepare. Are you kidding me?"

In a series of exclamations, Yu Liang's face became more and more ugly.

"Hey, Lawyer Yu, why does the office address on your business card say the 41st floor of the United Financial Building?"

And Zhang Wei was not idle, he picked up Yuliang's business card and read it again, only to find out a terrible piece of information.

"Why, I work in the United Financial Building, what's the matter!" Yu Liang said, shaking the thousands of dollars in the suit on his body, with a proud expression on his face.

"But I remember that on the 41st floor of the United Financial Building, one is a wedding photography company, the other is a psychiatrist's office, and only the third one has lawyer consulting services, and their main business is divorce proceedings..."

As soon as these words came out, Lin Xiao's expression changed drastically, Chen Lan's expression also fluctuated, and Yu Liang's pupils widened even more.

They never expected that Zhang Wei had been to the 41st floor of the United Financial Building, and he had been there more than once, and he had already memorized the business of the two companies on the same floor.

But it's not surprising, after all, the wedding photography and the divorce company are in the same building, so it's hard not to remember such a conflicting picture.

"Honey, is what he said true?" Lin Xiao couldn't bear it, and asked immediately.

Chen Lan didn't speak, and Yu Liang didn't speak either.

"Tell me, is it true, you want to divorce me, tell me!" Lin Xiao lost control again, and his emotions gradually became agitated.

Fortunately, the handcuffs worked again, and he couldn't break free.

"Lin Xiao, be quiet!" Outside the meeting room, the staff on duty of the Wushu Association shouted coldly, bringing the excited Lin Xiao back to reality.

Seeing that Lin Xiao was finally no longer excited, Chen Lan asked: "Lawyer Yu, my husband's case, can you..."

"Sorry, no one can crack this case!"

But Yu Liang vetoed it: "Let your husband plead guilty earlier. I can communicate with the prosecution to see if I can get a commutation of the sentence. But the opponent is the headquarters of the District Prosecutor's Office in the Eastern Metropolis, not the District Prosecutor's Office in other jurisdictions. Your husband may You will be jailed for up to 7 years, and there will be no reduction for a year."

"Lawyer, is there really no other way?"

"How could it be possible? I can't afford to mess with the local prosecutor's headquarters. My main business is divorce litigation, and criminal cases are not my specialty. You should find a public interest lawyer for your husband. Maybe the effect will be better than mine. .”

However, Zhang Wei cut in the needle and interjected: "Generally, public interest lawyers have to handle 20-30 cases at the same time, and they don't focus too much on each case. If you are looking for public interest lawyers, you have to think about the consequences."

Maybe because Zhang Wei's words were exaggerated, Yu Liang immediately denied: "There are not so many. The average public interest lawyer will only take 10-20 cases at a time. The number of people who take 30 cases is actually quite small."

This...to say the same as not to say.

Whether it is 30 cases, 20 cases, or 10 cases, it shows that public interest lawyers will not focus on one case.

Both Chen Lan and Lin Xiao felt difficulties.

"Lawyer Yu..."

"Forget it, I won't pursue your case. If you want to help your husband with the lawsuit, you can hire someone else!"

Yu Liang couldn't stand Chen Lan anymore, so he got up and left.

"Lawyer Yu, how can you do this, I am the client?"

"But your request is too difficult. Our lawyers can refuse any unreasonable requests from clients. You asked me to fight against the local prosecutor's headquarters, isn't it just embarrassing me?"

Yu Liang left without looking back, slamming the door and leaving.

"This..." Chen Lan looked at Yu Liang who was leaving, and then at Lin Xiao, not knowing what to say for a while.

"You two, you still have me!" Zhang Wei interjected at this moment.

He knew it was time to act.

"You guys think public interest lawyers are unreliable. In fact, I think so too, but I'm different from them. I only take one case at a time. Do you want to consider me?"

"The prestige of the Eastern Metropolitan Prosecutor's Headquarters, you can ask any lawyer, they will basically persuade your husband to plead guilty, anyway, few lawyers dare to provoke them, but I am different, I will help Mr. Lin defend his innocence .”

"Now, there are three choices before you, either hire public interest lawyers, but they will let you plead guilty, and Mr. Lin will go to jail; or hire me, I will help you defend your innocence, and you will not be charged for lawyer fees; Or don't invite anyone, just wait for the prosecution to prosecute and pronounce the sentence, then Mr. Lin will definitely go to jail..."

"Okay, I'll ask you to be a lawyer!"

Lin Xiao looked at Zhang Wei, as if a dead horse was a living horse doctor.

"Thank you for trusting me, Mr. Lin, then let's sit down and have a good chat."

"It just so happens that your wife is also there. As the first witness of this case, I just want to know about the situation at that time."

During the meeting, Zhang Wei stayed for a long time before leaving.

It was already more than an hour when he left the Wuxie Detention Center.

After walking out of the detention center, Zhang Hui looked sad.

"Student, what should we do next?"

"What else can I do? Follow the plan. I will initiate a pre-trial motion again and submit an application for dismissal. But at that time, senior sister, please admit your mistake."

"I know, I will take the initiative to admit my mistake."

"However, I don't think this is very likely, because the prosecutors of the Misdemeanor Division rarely file felony lawsuits. I don't think they will give up this lawsuit!"

"Then, what should we do?"

"Of course the soldiers came to block it, and the water came to cover it up. Let's see how good the prosecutor Tan Yingying is!"

As Zhang Wei said, a certain kind of brilliance bloomed in his eyes.

...

the next day.

Oriental Metropolitan Court, small court on the 3rd floor.

Zhang Wei came to the court early in the morning, and to his surprise, people from the local prosecutor's headquarters also came.

In the courtroom, Tan Yingying sat in the prosecution seat, and there was a girl beside her.

"Sister Baihe, that's him!" Tan Yingying saw Zhang Wei coming in, and quickly said to the girl beside her.

The next moment, Zhang Wei felt a chill coming.

The girl next to Tan Yingying turned around, staring at Zhang Wei with a pair of cold eyes, her gaze seemed to turn into a sharp knife, trying to pierce him through.

"It's so cold to kill, this woman treats me as an enemy?!"

Feeling this momentum, Zhang Wei understood.

But he was not afraid, instead he looked at the girl next to Tan Yingying.

I have to say that this girl is very beautiful, tall, curvy, with a black uniform, a proper black long straight beauty.

If Xia Qianyue is a youthful, beautiful and energetic treasure girl, then the girl in front of her is a snow queen who is proud of snow and frost, and would rather bend than bend.

"Zhang Wei, you're here too!" But suddenly, a familiar voice sounded outside the court, and Xia Qianyue came too.

"Hanhan, are you coming to see me in court?"

"No, I'm here to find Xiao Baihe. I heard that she came to the court, so I came here."

Xia Qianyue said, pointing to the Hei Changzhi next to Tan Yingying.

"Xiao Baihe, the trump card of the felony division of the local prosecutor's headquarters!"

Hearing Xiao Baihe's name, Zhang Wei's expression was clear.

This is a new star in the judicial circle of the Eastern Capital. As long as he is in the criminal defense industry, there is no one who does not know this name.

It seemed that this Prosecutor Xiao Baihe wanted to know about Tan Yingying.

"Xiao Baihe, he is the Zhang Wei I mentioned to you, there seems to be a misunderstanding between you..."

"Actually, there is no misunderstanding, right? You know each other once, don't you, Prosecutor Tan, and the famous Prosecutor Xiao."

Zhang Wei hurried over and greeted Tan Yingying and Xiao Baihe.

It's a pity that the two didn't appreciate it, Tan Yingying looked to the side, but Xiao Baihe just snorted coldly, even ignoring Xia Qianyue's greetings.

"Zhang Wei, Xiao Baihe is like this, don't worry about it." Xia Qianyue waved her hand graciously, and explained something to Zhang Wei.

"I see." Zhang Wei also smiled, pulled Xia Qianyue and walked aside, keeping a distance from Xiao Baihe.

Although Xia Qianyue didn't seem to notice anything, Zhang Wei felt that Xiao Baihe's attitude towards the two was very cold.

He wouldn't put his hot face on the other's cold butt, not even a beautiful woman with long black hair!

Zhang Wei also wants to save face!

"Zhang Wei, you and Xiao Baihe will have a lawsuit, will it be stressful? I heard that she is the trump card of the local prosecutor's headquarters. If you confront her..."

"Hanhan, don't worry, this time my opponent is prosecutor Tan Yingying, and Xiao Baihe is not the chief lawyer of the prosecution. Besides, even if Xiao Baihe really came, I'm not afraid of her!"

Zhang Wei showed enough confidence to comfort Xia Qianyue.

Soon, Zhang Hui also came, and the court time began to approach.

When members of the Martial Arts Association escorted Lin Xiao over, and Lin Xiao's chess piece, Chen Lan, also accompanied him, the trial entered the pre-trial stage.

"Please invite Judge Wang to come in!" Someone in the courtroom shouted loudly at the scene of the trial.

I saw an old man with white hair, wearing a pure black judge's robe, stepping up to the trial seat.

"It's actually Old Wang!" Seeing the old man, the corners of Xiao Baihe's mouth raised slightly, and a look of light flashed between his brows.

Because the judge in this trial is a person who pays attention to tradition, once the defendant is found guilty, the form will be beneficial to the prosecution.

And the defendant has already pleaded guilty!

"Old style glasses, no other items on the body, from the analysis of age and behavior, this judge is more traditional, like a stereotyped person, the form is in my favor!"

And Zhang Wei, who was also analyzing the judge through his every move, finally had a look in his eyes.

Just very confident!

Both sides are very confident.

"Isn't this Prosecutor Xiao Baihe, why did you appear here?"

After sitting in the courtroom, Judge Wang glanced at the seat of the prosecution party, a little surprised.

"Your Honor, I'm just a foil. Today's protagonist is my junior sister, Prosecutor Tan Yingying, please don't pay attention to me!" Xiao Baihe hurriedly said modestly, and at the same time pushed Tan Yingying beside her out.

The judge smiled: "It's very difficult to make me ignore a trump prosecutor at the trial."

However, he quickly restrained his smile and said seriously: "Okay, today is the pre-trial stage. Both of you need to advocate the reasons for defense and explain the application for defense. Is there anything else that needs to be added?"

Tan Yingying picked up the document in her hand and was about to speak, but Zhang Wei on the side rushed to talk: "Your Excellency, we are going to initiate a pre-trial motion to revoke my client's confession as evidence!"

"Oh?" Judge Wang was really surprised that someone else did it.

On the prosecution's seat, Tan Yingying was also shocked, and quickly looked at Xiao Baihe beside her.

After a while.

Zhang Hui stood on the witness stand and accepted Zhang Wei's questions.

"Senior Zhang Hui, were you the one who made the defendant confess?"

"yes."

"Have you explained to the defendant that his choice is not only to plead guilty, but also to bail and plead not guilty?"

"Only said bail."

"Why?"

"Because of time constraints, I did not inform the defendant of all the circumstances, but only made selective explanations."

"Then did the prosecution give the defendant other options, that is, he insisted on declaring his innocence, but you still ignored this request and just asked him to plead guilty?"

"Not informed."

"Did you get the defendant to plead guilty to something he didn't do?"

"I think so, because I think it's the best option for the accused given the circumstances of the accused at the time."

Zhang Wei nodded and looked at the judge: "Your Excellency, the situation at that time was like this. We have applied to withdraw this already invalid confession as invalid evidence!"

"Your Honor, the prosecution disagrees!"

Seeing Tan Yingying standing up under Xiao Baihe's urging, Zhang Wei had expected it.
