Crazy, You Call This a Trainee Lawyer

Chapter 361 Pretrial Hearing? Public opinion guidance and counter-guidance

Tuesday morning.

When Zhang Wei came to work in the law firm again, he found that the newcomers in the criminal department looked at him a little strangely.

"What's wrong, you don't look right in my eyes, is there something growing on my face?"

He touched his nose, it was itchy from so many people staring at it.

"Master, you have been hacked again!" In the end, the little apprentice stood up and pointed to his computer screen.

Apparently, she was fishing and browsing the web again just now.

This wave...was sacrificing himself and blew himself up on the spot.

"Someone hacked me again?" Zhang Wei nodded to show he understood, then walked quickly into his office, turned on the computer, and started searching.

In fact, without searching, the top headlines on the webpage are almost all reports about him.

"Shocked, a well-known lawyer actually made such a crazy move! "

"In our city's judicial system, there are such problems, can Zhang be lawless? "

"Extrajudicial lunatics, even becoming a well-known lawyer, it's simply disgusting!" "

Among the articles on the headlines of V blog, there are three 24-hour built-in top articles, accounting for almost one-third of the hot searched top seats.

The Zhang mentioned in this article is obviously Zhang Wei.

In these few articles, he was short of naming names, pointing at Zhang Wei's nose and scolding him.

Especially the second article involves the issue of the judicial system.

The picture accompanying the article is actually a scene of Zhang Wei, Xiao Baihe, and Xia Qianyue eating at Dongjiang Star.

Although there are three young people eating together in the picture, their identities are not simple.

And in the article, the identities of the three people were specifically named.

One is a defense lawyer, the other is the ace of the local prosecutor, and the other is an investigator of the serious crimes team.

With such an identity, they can still have dinner together, and it seems that they are enjoying themselves happily?

In the eyes of caring people, it is different.

Could it be possible that you and that prosecutor really had an affair?

And you and the girl from the serious crime team, are they really boyfriend and girlfriend?

Even in the comments, it is said that Zhang Wei is actually a cover, and that the prosecutors and investigators are the true love.

In short, the comment circle is unsightly, and all kinds of rumors are flying everywhere.

After Zhang Wei swiped a comment, he knew that this comment section was unreadable, because the people who eat melons on the Internet don't care what your identity is, they just say what they have, and they will never accumulate virtue in their mouths.

The anonymous letters on the Internet have given them great convenience, so they can have no scruples.

Continuing to browse the web, Zhang Wei soon discovered that a hot search came up, and the ranking continued to rise.

"As a member of the Law School of Dongda University, I am ashamed of Zhang's actions! "

This article was published by a well-known self-media organization. The article uses a lawyer's speech to criticize Zhang Wei.

During his speech, Zhang Wei immediately judged that the interviewed lawyer was none other than Xu Zhifeng.

In the article, he scolded Zhang Wei for his shameless act of threatening witnesses, and even @the official of Dongda Law School, demanding that Zhang Wei be removed.

The article was well written, Xu Zhifeng burst into tears and complained, and in just a short composition of a few hundred words, you can see the author's compassionate feelings.

"Well, it's good to find a ghostwriter!"

Zhang Wei couldn't help but complain.

The person who wrote this little essay has a very powerful pen, and he can feel that the other party is clearly accusing, but in fact he wants to put himself to death!

Those words are like sharp knives, stabbing at the vitals!

It seems that Xu Zhifeng intends to guide the public opinion on the Internet and let people blow himself up.

Jingle Bell!

While Zhang Wei was browsing the information on the web, a phone call came.

"Hello, who is it?"

"Lawyer Zhang, the Civil Division of the Municipal Court is calling."

"Oh, take them here."

The call was transferred, and then the clerk of the civil court communicated with Zhang Wei and informed the court of the next preparation process.

In the afternoon, a hearing will be held to decide whether Fang Mingming's case against Zhang Wei needs to be held.

However, the hearing will be unfavorable to Zhang Wei, because the witness of the hearing is none other than Mrs. Xu.

As the public prosecutor in that case, she was selected by Xu Zhifeng as a representative witness to sue Zhang Wei in court.

After putting down the phone, Zhang Wei's eyes flashed with solemnity.

"Hey guy, is this the Vengeance Alliance?"

Fortunately, these were all within his expectations.

What's more, Zhang Wei is not afraid of Xu Zhifeng even if he goes to court.

This guy is just a clown!

The people Zhang Wei cared more about were the people behind Xu Zhifeng.

Who is the one?

Theoretically speaking, the person behind Xu Zhifeng should be Qin Shaocong, because Xu Zhifeng is from Longteng International, so it is obvious that he was instructed by Qin Shaocong.

But logically speaking, it shouldn't be Qin Shaocong.

Although Zhang Wei admits that he has offended many people, he also has many enemies in the East.

But Qin Shaocong was not among them. Although the two had crossed paths, it was obvious that they hadn't reached the point of life and death.

If it wasn't Qin Shaocong, who would it be?

Hu Yaode from Blackfoot Law Firm?

This is obviously unrealistic, because if Hu Yaode wants to make a move, he must come in person instead of sending a lawyer from Longteng Law Firm to help.

Don't they black feet have a lawyer themselves? Hu Yaode is also an excellent lawyer.

Old Guo and Zhao from the local prosecutor's headquarters, that's even more impossible.

Although Lao Guo and Lao Zhao had a grudge against him, it was all business. In private, they had nothing to do with each other, and it was impossible for the other party to do so.

As for the others, Zhang Wei couldn't judge for a while.

After all, the enemy is in the dark and we are in the light. To find out who is behind Xu Zhifeng, more means and resources are needed.

And, there's the matter of the afternoon hearing.

Thinking of this, Zhang Wei was speechless.

Why bother?

Isn't it superfluous to hold a hearing?

Xu Zhifeng made it clear that he wanted me to die, Zhang Wei, did Ni Qiuping think that the other party would retreat after holding a hearing?

People may decide what routines to prepare in court, but he has to do it himself.

"By the way, Xu Zhifeng bought these trending searches. Do I have to prepare a bit later?"

Zhang Wei immediately took out his phone and opened the contacts.

[Zhang Wei: Second girl, please help, Help! 】

[Zhao Xiaoxiao: What, what are you doing, I don’t know if this lady is sleeping/Sleeping to death]

[Zhao Xiaoxiao: If you have something to say, don't hesitate! 】

[Zhang Wei: Do you know that I got into a lawsuit recently? 】

【Zhao Xiaoxiao: I know/excited】

[Zhang Wei: Then, do you know that I have been popularly searched on V blogs, and now the top four posts are all about me. 】

【Zhao Xiaoxiao, um, let me take a look~】

[Zhao Xiaoxiao: I see! 】

[Zhao Xiaoxiao: Do ​​you want me to downgrade these hot searches and delete them from the top? 】

[Zhang Wei: Forget it, now that there are so many melon eaters, trolls and trolls are already in place, if I ask you to delete the trending search, maybe people will falsely accuse me of collaborating with V Bo! 】

【Zhao Xiaoxiao: Then what do you want me to do/scratch your head】

[Zhang Wei: I want you to help me, and put a few hot searches on the top, I have edited the content, that's all...]

[Zhang Wei: screenshot.jpg, screenshot.jpg, screenshot.jpg]

[Zhao Xiaoxiao: Good guy, you are really insidious/smirking]

[Zhang Wei: We are each other~/reached a consensus]

[Zhao Xiaoxiao: Get out! / curl one's lips]

【Zhang Wei: Then second girl, please~】

After × dropped the chat window, Zhang Wei's eyes also flashed a gloomy look.

Since you are doing the first day of junior high school, don't blame me for being the fifteenth day!

...

In the afternoon, Municipal Court.

Civil court, small court.

Zhang Wei sat in the defendant's seat, Xu Zhifeng and Fang Mingming sat in the plaintiff's seat.

On the trial seat, Ni Qiuping is ready.

"Plaintiff's lawyer, where are the witnesses you summoned?"

Ni Qiuping looked at the time and couldn't bear it anymore.

We agreed on this afternoon, why is it that time, and your witness hasn't come yet?

Xu Zhifeng was also a little panicked at this moment, because he had called the office of the District Prosecutor's Office in Zhongcheng District before. After Xu Suyun heard about Xu Zhifeng's case, he immediately agreed to appear in court.

Unexpectedly, the other party let him go!

Dare to be late for the hearing!

It's just...

boom!

The door of the small court suddenly opened, and then a crowd of people poured in.

The leader is Xu Suyun, and her apprentice, Chai Ping, is by her side.

But the point is not Xu Suyun, she was going to appear in court today, so it was not unexpected.

The point is, the people around Xu Suyun.

Zhao Chunming, Guo Wufeng, plus a bunch of newcomers at the local prosecutor's headquarters, at least a dozen of them.

Such a large wave of people poured into the court and sat in the hearing booth.

"Good guy, another big army?"

When Zhang Wei saw Lao Zhao and Lao Guo bringing a group of people in, he was no longer surprised.

Ni Qiuping on the judging bench was the same. Seeing Guo Wufeng and Zhao Chunming appear, she was also unmoved.

"I'm sorry, the judge and the plaintiff's lawyer met colleagues from the local prosecutor's headquarters on the way here, so they chatted for a while, which wasted time!"

After Xu Suyun arrived, he hurriedly explained the reason.

"By the way, Mrs. Xu, I'm waiting for you too. Why don't you apologize to me too? Are you treating one more than another?"

Zhang Wei suddenly smiled and made a joke.

Will Xu Suyun apologize to Zhang Wei? Obviously not.

So she glanced at Zhang Wei, snorted coldly, and walked onto the witness stand.

You're obviously late, and you still put on a show for me?

Zhang Wei had to complain, Mrs. Xu is Mrs. Xu, although it sounded like an apology just now, but she always had an attitude of "you owe me money" to everyone.

Zhang Wei glanced at the hearing booth again.

Zhao Chunming and Guo Wufeng sneered at the same time, as if they were about to watch someone's joke.

"Okay, let you all look forward to it..."

Zhang Wei also smiled, then turned to look at the trial seat.

"Ahem, regarding whether this case needs to go to court for litigation, this court has specially spared time to prepare for today's hearing, so as to listen to the opinions of the witnesses!"

"Ms. Xu Suyun, you can start now!" Ni Qiuping waved her hand, motioning for the witness to speak.

"Ahem, first of all, I would like to thank Judge Ni for giving me a chance to make the defendant's lawyer's crimes known to the public!"

"I can say here that Zhang Wei's behavior is simply outrageous. He..."

"be opposed to!"

Before Xu Suyun started to accuse, he was interrupted by a sudden voice.

"The content of the witness's statement is vague and the concept is general. Is such a statement counted as an accusation against me?"

Zhang Wei spread his hands and looked wronged, "If you can accuse me like this, then I will also accuse you, Mrs. Xu, with a cold face every day, just like a murderer, I am so scared!"

"Damn it..." Xu Suyun gritted his teeth, and was about to get angry immediately.

"Um!"

Fortunately, Ni Qiuping is not a small judge, and she can still hold the scene.

A nasal sound combined with a murderous look in the eyes, Xu Suyun sat back again.

"Zhang Wei, sit down for me too!"

After she signaled Zhang Wei to calm down, she looked at the witness stand again: "Ms. Xu Suyun, please be simple and clear, and don't add some unnecessary words. Court time is precious, and my time is even more precious!"

Hearing the warning, Xu Suyun understood.

"Good judge, I see!"

She immediately stated her position, and then explained: "I have a case where Mr. Fang is my witness for the prosecution. He can provide decisive testimony in the case, but he was called to Jincheng Law Firm by Lawyer Zhang the day before the trial, and He was seriously threatened by the other party and warned about his personal safety, so that he had to give up testifying in court for his own safety."

"Because Mr. Fang was unable to appear in court, the suspect who could have been convicted had to be released in court!"

"This is all Zhang Wei's fault. He secretly threatened our witnesses and forced them to change their statements. Doing so is simply obstructing justice and threatening to intimidate witnesses. He is not worthy of being a lawyer. He is simply a scum in the judicial system! "

Xu Suyun obviously held back his anger, and his decibels became higher and higher when he spoke, and finally stood up and reprimanded Zhang Wei, his voice was extremely sharp.

In the hearing booth, many audience members couldn't help but nodded, and then looked at Zhang Wei.

These eyes contained suspicion, contempt and strong hostility.

"Defendant, do you have anything to explain about the witness's allegations?"

"certainly!"

Zhang Wei stood up and explained: "First of all, I did not threaten the prosecution witnesses!"

"Do you dare to say that you didn't threaten Mr. Fang?" Xu Suyun pointed to Fang Mingming who was in the plaintiff's seat, and asked immediately.

"Of course, I just had a friendly exchange with him. How can it be considered a threat?"

Zhang Wei also spread his hands, with an innocent face: "Besides, Mr. Fang was not a witness for the prosecution at that time. Even if I did threaten him, it would not be considered a threat to a witness, right? What's more, I never threatened him at all. Anyone, of course, cannot threaten Mr. Fang."

"By the way, I told him about going to court, but I also explained to him that if he goes to court, I may ask to disclose his web search records. I think this is a necessary operation. , can let the jury see clearly what kind of person Mr. Fang is on weekdays, is this considered a threat?"

In my opinion, the disclosure of web search records should not be regarded as a threat.

After all, if you want to be a witness, you have to be prepared to be impeached by someone's character.

Even public browsing records, web browser favorites, etc. are common means used by defense lawyers to fight against prosecution witnesses.

In short, as long as it is proved that you are not a good person and you have problems, the credibility of your testimony will be affected. This is a routine.

So the conversation between Zhang Wei and Fang Mingming was not strictly speaking a threat.

Of course, it is even more impossible to threaten witnesses, because the other party is not a witness at that time.

Zhang Wei's explanation made Xu Suyun unable to refute.

She could only think to herself, this kid is really impeccable in his work.

"But lawyer Zhang did threaten my client, there is no doubt about it!"

At this moment, Xu Zhifeng got up suddenly, and said righteously: "Originally, my client didn't need to go to Jincheng Law Firm at all, but out of goodwill, he gave the other party an opportunity and met with Lawyer Zhang. There's a full hour!"

"What threats did he receive during this period that made him dare not even perform his duties as a witness for the prosecution? Can you imagine how much psychological pressure he has been under these days?"

"Moreover, Lawyer Zhang's reputation has never been very good. Not only does he have a bad name like a 'murder lawyer', but he also has an ambiguous relationship with some prosecutors at the local prosecutor's headquarters."

"So I implore Judge Ni, please give us a chance to prove whether Lawyer Zhang has committed many crimes, and give the citizens of Dongfang Capital a chance to see him clearly, and please give Lang Lang Qiankun an explanation!"

Xu Zhifeng's last words were intended to guide public opinion.

In the hearing booth, the reaction was violent.

"this……"

After Ni Qiuping saw the expressions of many people in the hearing booth, she felt a little troubled.

She glanced at Zhang Wei, then at Xu Zhifeng, and then at the people in the hearing booth.

"After the allegations in this hearing and our own deliberation, the court decided to agree to the plaintiff's request. The case will be accepted by this court and the court will be held on another day!"

"Wait!"

Just when Ni Qiuping was about to hit the hammer to announce, Zhang Wei suddenly interrupted.

"Lawyer Zhang, the judge has already agreed, so there's no point in interrupting, right?" Xu Zhifeng is in a good mood now, and he can even sneer.

"No, no!"

Zhang Wei waved his hand, and then said: "I have no objection to the hearing."

"Judge Ni, my request is very simple. Recently, there has been a lot of public opinion about me on the Internet, so I hope that when the court selects the jury, it will also include whether the hot search on the Internet will affect the impartiality of the jury!"

"Our side is against it. Things like hot searches are uncontrollable. We can only say that Lawyer Zhang's misbehavior happened to be caught by someone!"

Xu Zhifeng immediately objected.

Just kidding, he bought a large part of these trending searches just to influence the jury.

If you tell me to ban it, you can ban it. Wouldn't my efforts be in vain?

But Zhang Wei sneered, and looked at the trial seat again: "Judge Ni, I did this for the sake of your credibility!"

"For me?" Ni Qiuping froze for a moment, her face blank.

"Yes, because I found that online public opinion and hot search headlines have negative reports about you!"

"This..." Ni Qiuping immediately winked at the clerk next to her, who took out a notebook from her briefcase, connected to the Internet, and opened the hot search.

"Are Municipal Court Judges Fair, That Apparently Question?" "

"Old Ni? Old Chen? Lao Li? A certain lawyer surnamed Zhang actually has a close attitude with the judge in public? "

"I heard that the city court has been infiltrated by a certain lawyer, and the entire court is all his own? "

Swish, swish, all the hot searches on the top have changed into these articles.

When Ni Qiuping saw these articles, her face turned green.

And looked suspiciously at the plaintiff's seat.

Is it because you guys not only used public opinion to attack the defendant, but also used public opinion to put pressure on our city court?

At this moment, Xu Zhifeng took out a mobile phone from nowhere, and also saw the trending search.

He is really innocent this time, because he never thought of attacking the city court or the presiding judge at all.

I am wronged~

However, Ni Qiuping has already made a decision no matter how much he complains in his heart.

"Well, Lawyer Zhang's request is not unreasonable. This court has approved the inclusion of the negative guidance of Internet public opinion on the case into the jury selection and review conditions!"

At this point, Ni Qiuping announced with a hammer that the case was accepted.

Zhang Wei gave Xu Zhifeng a meaningful look, and then left without looking back.

But he was complaining in his heart: Little boy, if you still use this kind of routine, I stopped playing decades ago!
