Crazy, You Call This a Trainee Lawyer

Chapter 35 The Prosecutor's Move, Zhang Wei's Assassin

The next day, at 7 o'clock in the morning.

Zhang Wei woke up early, cooked breakfast for himself and someone upstairs who was free, and hurried to the court to wait.

When he came to the court, he found that there were more people in the hearing booth than in previous days.

"what's the situation?"

He was a little confused, but after careful observation, he found the reason.

Many of the people who came were in suits and leather shoes, carrying briefcases, and some would greet each other.

"Morning, Lawyer Chen."

"It's early too, Yuan Lu, how about those few cases?"

"Don't mention it, the other party doesn't settle, and they have to go to court again."

"That's a headache. By the way, did you come here today to watch the fight between the new lawyer and the local prosecutor's headquarters?"

"That's right, why don't you take a look? I heard that the newcomer is very powerful, and he has suppressed the prosecutor Xiao Baihe in the local prosecutor's headquarters!"

"How did I hear that Prosecutor Xiao Baihe is the second seat, and the Chief Prosecutor seems to be a newcomer?"

"So what about the newcomers, who don't represent the local prosecutor's headquarters?"

"This is actually..."

The feelings come from colleagues, and everyone is a lawyer.

They were obviously here to watch the fun, and when they heard that they had fought against the prosecutors from the local prosecutor's headquarters, they all wanted to keep an eye on it.

boom!

At this moment, the door of the court was knocked open by a force, and everyone in the court looked at the door.

All the prosecutors from the Misdemeanor Division, headed by Guo Wufeng, the head of the Misdemeanor Division, walked in.

The crowd automatically gave way to Guo Wufeng and his colleagues behind him.

The lawyers along the way did not dare to look directly at Guo Wufeng. Obviously, the prefectural prosecutor's headquarters still had a lot of power, and they were not young lawyers like them who could provoke him.

Guo Wufeng walked into the venue and chose a seat near the front.

All the subordinates naturally lined up on the left and right, and all took their seats.

"snort!"

Guo Wufeng snorted coldly when he saw Zhang Wei.

"Do you want to get off your horse?" Zhang Wei just smiled slightly, not caring about the other party's cold face at all.

Not long after, Zhang Hui also came.

But as soon as she walked into the court, she felt a completely different atmosphere from yesterday.

When she saw that all the people from the Misdemeanor Division of the District Prosecutor's Headquarters had arrived, she was stared at by Guo Wufeng, and her legs felt a little weak.

Zhang Hui finally walked tremblingly to the defense seat.

"Student, junior, why are all the people from the Misdemeanor Division here?" At this moment, Zhang Hui seemed to be trembling with his tongue.

"Calm down, come as soon as you come, what does it matter?" Zhang Wei didn't care, and spoke at a normal speed.

Zhang Wei's calmness is really exaggerated in Zhang Hui's view.

That's the people from the local prosecutor's headquarters, so many are here, so you're not afraid at all?

Zhang Wei is naturally not afraid at all. He still remembers that in his previous life he went abroad to sue the boss of a gangster, and his enemies would bring them to court.

Fortunately, the law and order in Longguo is very good, and such exaggerated things will not happen.

He is not afraid of real guys, and the eyes of a bunch of scumbags are attacking him, so it is even more impossible to hurt him.

Soon, there were more and more people at the trial site, and the hearing booth became lively.

However, due to the dominance of Guo Wufeng and others, a large area of ​​the hearing booth became a "restricted area", and the surrounding area was completely silent.

Not long after, the prosecutor Tan Yingying entered the arena accompanied by Xiao Baihe.

Guo Wufeng and Xiao Baihe nodded as greetings, and then gave Tan Yingying a vicious look, scaring the latter so that she dared not raise her head all the way.

The court hearing began on time.

"Stand up, Judge Wang enters the arena!"

As the judge entered the venue, the entire scene fell silent.

Judge Wang walked up to the trial seat and scanned the audience.

"Isn't this Guo Wufeng, you're here too?"

When he saw Guo Wufeng in the hearing booth, he looked surprised.

Afterwards, he sighed: "Forget it, don't put too much pressure on the newcomers, please be more careful at the local prosecutor's headquarters."

Guo Wufeng didn't respond, obviously he didn't agree with Judge Wang's words.

"Let's start the court!"

After knocking on the awl, Judge Wang looked at the defense bench and said, "Now it's your defense's turn to summon witnesses!"

Zhang Wei got up: "We summoned Chen Lan, the defendant's wife, to testify in court!"

This witness did not surprise anyone. Chen Lan's testimony in court was a fact that many people expected.

The defendant sat beside Zhang Wei, looked at his wife who got up from the hearing stand, and nodded slowly.

The latter responded in the same way, and then sat in the hearing.

Zhang Wei began to ask questions.

"Ms. Chen Lan, please tell everyone your identity and your relationship with the defendant."

"I am the defendant's wife and we got married last spring."

"Well, they are newlyweds." Zhang Wei nodded, and then asked, "Then, do you still remember what happened on the 4th night last week?"

"Of course, I can't forget it!" Chen Lan nodded, and then began to state: "It was around 8 o'clock in the evening, and my husband and I were shopping in the center of the Oriental City..."

Chen Lan began to narrate the incident. She described the incident from several aspects from the perspective of the person involved and the perspective of a bystander.

In the incident, she and Lin Xiao were a young couple who were shopping. They were happily visiting the city center, but when they were shopping on Jinnan Road, they met four drunken men. The friction at first was just walking. They ran into Wei Hong from time to time, but just like this, they caused conflicts between the two sides. The dispute from the beginning of the two sides turned into a fight. In order to protect her, Lin Xiao was slapped by Wei Hong. The former was out of breath and pushed Wei Hong away. Calling for help loudly, the Wuxie's field service finally arrived. However, after the field staff came, they ignored Chen Lan's shouts, but reported to the headquarters, and brought back the five men including Lin Xiao. The next thing was the scene of the bail court.

After Chen Lan's narration was over, there was no ups and downs in the plot, just a simple narration of the incident, but this was enough.

"So, my client pushed away Wei Hong, who might pose a threat to you, to protect you?"

"He was drunk, very drunk, and I was very scared at the time." Chen Lan said with a hint of panic on her face.

"I can imagine that the four strong men were so drunk that they even lost their basic cognitive abilities. God knows what they can do!"

"Objection!" Tan Yingying stood up and retorted: "The defense lawyer is leading the witness to speculate!"

"Sorry, I take back the question just now!" Zhang Wei smiled apologetically, and even reacted in advance before the judge reminded him.

But both Tan Yingying and Xiao Baihe knew that Zhang Wei asked this question on purpose.

"Then the last question, did you see that the deceased Wei Hong was pushed to the ground by your husband, or by himself?"

Chen Lan thought for a moment, then shook her head and said, "I didn't see it, but I think it's more likely that he fell down by himself than someone else pushed him. You can’t get out of Jinnan Road.”

"Against, lead witnesses to speculate!"

"Sorry, Your Excellency, I can't hold back for a while." Seeing the judge's unkind expression, Zhang Wei immediately apologized.

"The objection is valid, the jury please ignore the witness's answer just now!"

"Last question, Ms. Chen Lan, did you drink alcohol that day?"

"That day we had dinner at a restaurant in the city center and the drink was fruit tea. Neither my husband nor I drank any alcohol!"

"Oh, none of you have been drinking. It seems that the accomplices of the deceased framed you. They are really bad!"

As Zhang Wei said, he smiled and looked at the jury.

"be opposed to!"

"Sorry Your Honor, I have no more questions!"

Tan Yingying objected, but Zhang Wei had already finished the questioning first and returned to the defense bench.

The expressions of the jurors were different, but they were all thinking about the words of the witnesses. This scene greatly increased the pressure on the two people in the prosecution seat.

"Yingying, take this and use your strength!"

Xiao Baihe handed a document to Tan Yingying, and then encouraged her.

"Yeah, I'll do my best, Sister Lily!"

Tan Yingying trotted all the way to the witness stand.

Zhang Wei, on the other hand, was observing the document in Tan Yingying's hand.

"Student, how is it? I feel that this is safe!" Zhang Hui asked cautiously after looking behind him.

"Sister, what are you talking about? The outcome of the trial is unknown until the last moment. I advise you not to be too confident." Zhang Wei was not overly confident.

The lion fights the rabbit with all his strength, even in the face of a weak opponent, he will not be proud and conceited, this is his experience in court trials.

Zhang Hui obviously has never experienced beatings from society!

"If nothing major happens, this one should be safe, but what I care about is Xiao Baihe. She seems to have come prepared today. I don't know what kind of attack this ace prosecutor will launch!"

Thinking about it, Zhang Wei also glanced back at a certain fool in the hearing booth.

The latter also happened to look over, and the two looked at each other.

Hanhan smiled, and Zhang Wei also smiled.

"I hope I don't use that trick, otherwise it would be too unfriendly to this new prosecutor..."

In court, cross-examination begins.

As the prosecutor, Tan Yingying naturally wanted to question Chen Lan.

She comforted herself in her heart, then took a deep breath, and said this time: "Ms. Chen Lan, what you said is wonderful, but I doubt what you said."

"What do you mean?" Chen Lan was puzzled and frowned slightly.

"It's very simple. You are Lin Xiao's wife. How do I know if you will lie to help your husband escape crime?"

"I'm not lying, I'm telling the truth!"

"No one can guarantee this, because we are not there!"

As Tan Yingying spoke, she opened the file in her hand and took out a record.

"Ms. Chen Lan, did you visit your husband Lin Xiao while he was in the detention center?"

"Yes, I went to see him once."

"Then you should remember that after your husband was imprisoned that day, because the Wuxi Association felt that your husband had a violent personality, they separated the two of you and could only use the internal phone to contact this matter."

"Yes, I remember."

"Then do you know that there is a written record of this meeting!"

As Tan Yingying spoke, she raised the document in her hand.

Apparently, this is the transcript.

"Objection!" Zhang Wei immediately stood up and retorted in court: "Your Excellency, this record is not in the list of exhibits, and we have not even seen this record. This obviously violates the principle of exhibit disclosure and cannot be accepted. For evidence!"

Tan Yingying was taken aback by Zhang Wei's rebuttal, but she still summoned up the courage to rebut: "Your Excellency, this document can prove the credibility of the witness, please approve it."

The judge considered for a moment, and finally nodded: "The objection is invalid, and this record can be adopted as a document."

Zhang Wei sat down helplessly, but he knew in his heart that he might not be able to be kind today.

"Ms. Chen Lan, please do me a favor, can you read this passage?"

When the document was handed to Chen Lan, Chen Lan's expression changed a little.

But in the end, she reads:

"Husband, I'll ask a lawyer to rescue you. You have to be careful inside. I'll explain to my parents..."

"If possible, I will definitely find a way to save you..."

"Or we'll tell the martial arts association, it's not you who pushed that person..."

"Stop!" Tan Yingying suddenly called out, stopping Chen Lan's reading.

"That's right here. In the call record between you and the defendant Lin Xiao, it is clearly stated that you will give false testimony!"

Tan Yingying changed her previous cowardly performance, and said in a strong tone: "Since you are planning to testify perjury, then what reason do we have to believe you in what you said in court today!"

"No, the prosecution lawyer is testifying on his own. Our witness has no intention of perjury, but the lawyer is confidently speculating about the witness's words and deeds!"

"The objection is valid!" Judge Wang tapped the awl, and then looked at the jury: "Please ignore the speech just now!"

Although the judge said so, Zhang Wei knew that the jury would not ignore these words.

"Your Honor, I have no problem!"

Tan Yingying hurried back to the prosecution's seat, her legs gave way and she almost sat down.

The performance just now had exhausted her courage for several days, and she had to ask questions in front of the judge, all of which made this new prosecutor a little scared.

But the result is good, the jury is already thinking about what just said.

"Yingying, you have performed very well, the jury has already begun to suspect!" Xiao Baihe who was on the side hurriedly spoke out to encourage her.

Her eyes looked at Zhang Wei, and her expression was full of confidence: "Next, this guy can only let the defendant testify in court, but we have already retrieved all the defendant's records and files. If she goes to court, you can let that The guy understands what cruelty is!"

There is only one witness left for the defense, and that is the defendant himself in court.

It can be said that this time is really lore!

As long as Zhang Wei takes the bait and falls into the trap prepared by her Xiao Baihe, this time the court trial will be a complete victory for the local prosecutor's headquarters!

As for Zhang Wei, will he take the bait?

"Your Excellency, we will call the next witness to testify in court!"

"Well, yes, the defendant, please prepare!"

"Your Excellency, the witness we want to call is not the defendant!"

Judge: "Huh?"

Not only the judge was confused, but many people in the hearing booth were also like this.

They all thought that Zhang Wei could only subpoena the defendant, but cross-examination would definitely fall into the trap of the local prosecutor's headquarters, but why didn't Zhang Wei seem to follow the script?

Tan Yingying, Guo Wufeng, Xiao Baihe, and even other lawyers at the hearing all looked at Zhang Wei.

"The witness we want to summon is not the defendant, but a new witness!"

"Yingying!" Xiao Baihe hastily poked the next door with her elbow.

"Objection!" Tan Yingying immediately stood up, and said forcefully again: "Your Honor, the defense did not register this witness in the list..."

"Your Honor, the witness is here, and I can assure you that she is more than happy to testify."

Just in court?

The judge is also confused, who are you talking about?

"Both of you, come up to me."

Tan Yingying and Zhang Wei stepped forward and came to the trial seat.

"Lawyer Zhang, are you sure that witness is in court and willing to be questioned?"

"Of course, I'm 100% sure, and the testimony of witnesses is crucial!"

Seeing Zhang Wei's confident performance, Tan Yingying panicked for no reason.

"But, Your Honor, isn't that..."

"Now that everyone is here, let the witnesses come up."

Tan Yingying wanted to refute, but the judge decided.

"Prosecutor Tan, don't blame me!"

Zhang Wei smiled at Tan Yingying, but the latter didn't realize that there was some kind of meaning in this smile.

The two returned to their seats again, and the judge announced at the right time: "The next witness for the defense, please prepare to appear in court!"

"Okay, Your Honor!" Zhang Wei shook his clothes, looked at the prosecution seat, and said with a smile:

"The defense wants to summon...Tan Yingying, the prosecutor of the Misdemeanor Division of the Local Prosecutor's Headquarters. I want her to testify in court!"

Hearing seat: ? ? ?

Jury:! ! !

The prosecution seat:? ! ?

The audience was in an uproar, and everyone was stunned after hearing this sentence!

"What!"

"Tan Yingying?"

"Here, what kind of trick is this?"

"Let the prosecutor testify in court!"

"This boy, how dare he?"

The lawyers at the hearing and the prosecutors of the Misdemeanor Division were all shocked by Zhang Wei's unfathomable showmanship.

Calling prosecutors to testify in court, and also as an opponent prosecutor, is simply something that would never happen in their decades of career.

But this kid, he actually did it!

"Impossible, Yingying will not testify in court, she is not even connected to the case!"

Xiao Baihe immediately stood up and opposed the proposal.

Zhang Wei said with a smile: "There is no provision in the court trial law. The prosecution cannot be called as a witness. Since there is no law prohibiting it, then I have no problem calling Tan Yingying as a witness!"

"One more thing, is Prosecutor Xiao Baihe a little too excited, forgetting that he is just an observer, isn't your spokesperson Tan Yingying, the chief public prosecutor, why did you jump out first?"

"You..." Xiao Baihe was so angry at Zhang Wei's words that he couldn't speak for a while.

Zhang Wei ignored her, but looked at the people around her.

"Prosecutor Tan Yingying, don't stand still, go to the witness stand, everyone is waiting for you!"

Tan Yingying didn't know how to object, she could only stand up from her seat in a daze, walked to the witness stand in a daze, and finally sat down in a daze.

She didn't even know why she came up, or what she needed to be questioned.

"Prosecutor Tan Yingying, don't be nervous, I won't do anything to you, I just need you to answer a few 'simple' questions, and it will be over soon."

Zhang Wei showed a warm smile, but in Tan Yingying's eyes, this smile was a little scary.

As for Zhang Wei, after confirming that Tan Yingying was in court, he winked at Xia Qianyue who was in the hearing booth.

The latter immediately understood, picked up a piece of cardboard from the ground, and walked forward.

Obviously, this piece of cardboard is very important.

Zhang Wei took the cardboard and walked to the court.

"Prosecutor Tan Yingying, please answer me, what is recorded on this cardboard?"

When Tan Yingying saw the content on the cardboard, her expression was slightly startled.

How did the other party get this thing?

This was the only question on her mind at the moment.
