Crazy, You Call This a Trainee Lawyer

The next day, Lin Fu.

In the kitchen, Zhang Wei was busy making breakfast.

He doesn't have to go to work now, he doesn't need to be a hard-working worker, and he doesn't need to check in every day, so he has relatively free time.

After skillfully cutting the ingredients, put them into the porridge bottom of the casserole, and then gently scoop them with a spoon to start stewing.

After 20 minutes, a pot of hot salted chicken porridge is ready

Zhang Wei cooked the porridge, walked to the stairs, and shouted directly upstairs: "Little girl, have breakfast~"

"Who are you calling a little girl!"

Upstairs, a girl's impatient voice came.

Zhang Wei ignored the other party's impatience, and continued: "I made chicken porridge, eat it while it's hot, or it will be cold if you don't eat it!"

Although Zhang Wei's craftsmanship is not as good as that of some chefs, he cooks all home-cooked dishes, and the taste is still guaranteed.

At least his craftsmanship is enough to tempt a certain Miss Zhao family.

Sure enough, the sound of footsteps "dumping" came from the stairs.

With hair as messy as a chicken coop, Zhao Xiaoxiao walked down sleepily in a set of pickup yellow one-piece pajamas.

"Eat quickly, eat quickly, I can wash the dishes after eating!"

Zhang Wei didn't look at the girl's appearance either, he was used to it anyway.

After finishing a bowl of porridge, he immediately handed the spoon to the other party.

"Remember it's hot!"

As Zhang Wei said, he scooped up a mouthful of porridge and brought it to his mouth to breathe, and when it cooled down a bit, he drank it in one gulp.

Zhao Xiaoxiao directly picked up a chicken leg and gnawed on it.

She lowered her head, covered by her messy long black hair, so that Zhang Wei couldn't see her appearance.

But Zhang Wei doesn't need to look at it, he can guess that the other party must have stayed up late last night, and maybe he still has two dark circles on his face.

Although pandas are cute, they are round and chubby and simple and cute. Zhao Xiaoxiao is not simple and honest, and naturally he is not cute.

After Zhao Xiaoxiao gnawed the chicken legs, she started eating the porridge so fast that she even choked.

"Eat slowly, be careful that it's hot, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry." Zhang Wei reminded in a low voice.

But Zhao Xiaoxiao didn't listen at all, and even touched the porridge bowl with a spoon provocatively, making a crisp sound.

"Rebellious period!"

Seeing her performance, Zhang Wei knew it well.

It has to be said that he suddenly had the illusion of an old father facing his adolescent rebellious daughter.

No wonder Zhao Qingyan and Zhao Xiaoxiao are like this, it turns out that Zhao Xiaoxiao has reached the stage of rebellion.

Soon, Zhao Xiaoxiao finished her breakfast, threw the porridge bowl directly into the kitchen sink, and went upstairs without looking back.

"You girl, next time I have to teach you to finish washing. It's impossible for me to wash every time."

Seeing this, Zhang Wei couldn't help but shook his head and said, "Do you still remember the last time, I was busy with a case and didn't come back, but you didn't clean up the takeaway after eating, and the kitchen smelled like takeaway."

"Hmph, I want you to take care of it!" Zhao Xiaoxiao didn't turn her head.

He still complained, "I know, I know, you are more verbose than that guy, it's very annoying~"

"This girl!" Hearing Zhao Xiaoxiao close the door of the room, Zhang Wei sighed helplessly again.

Although he raised a rebellious "daughter", he didn't find it annoying, and was even a little happy in his heart.

I didn't expect to have a daughter that I didn't raise in my previous life. Although I am about the same age as me, and I am not a sweet little padded jacket, Zhang Wei is still happy.

He doesn't mind washing the dishes and cleaning the kitchen every day with pain and joy.

While tidying up, he looked out the window.

"It's rare that the weather is good today, let's go for a walk later..."

...

at the same time.

Tang Chunde helped an old woman to the Wuxie's detention center, and met his own brother Tang Chunfeng.

Tang Chunfeng was different from the oily Tang Chunde. He was a slender, fair-looking man in his thirties, barely handsome.

If two brothers stand together, no one will feel that they are brothers.

Fortunately, Tang Chunde has also gotten used to it over the years, and with the face he has cultivated in the market, he can ignore the eyes of ordinary people long ago.

"Mom, why are you here?" Tang Chunfeng shouted when he saw the old woman.

The old woman is Tang Mu, the mother of Tang Chunde and Tang Chunfeng.

"Son, how are you doing inside? Did they make things difficult for you?"

"Mom, I'm fine."

"That's good, that's good."

When Tang's mother and her youngest son met, they naturally had a lot to say.

This made Tang Chunde on the side very uncomfortable, especially when he saw Tang's mother holding Tang Chunfeng's hand, his brows frowned again.

"Okay, okay, I'll talk about these things later, let our company's lawyer ask about the situation first!"

With that said, he hurried to the door of the detention room, and asked a man in a suit outside the door for instructions: "Lawyer Niu, this is my younger brother, can you help me take a look?"

Lawyer Niu is a member of the legal department of Tianxiang Network, and his rank is not low. Even if Tang Chunde is the manager of the second marketing department, he dare not neglect the other party.

He also spent a lot of money this time to invite the lawyer from the legal department to help him.

Lawyer Niu is in his forties, with a Chinese character face, wearing a dark blue plaid suit with a red handkerchief on the neckline, and looks very tasteful.

"You are Tang Chunfeng, tell me what you know?"

"I don't know anything..."

Hearing Lawyer Niu's question, Tang Chunfeng shook his head.

This made Lawyer Niu frown, because it seemed a little different from what he had heard.

"I am oblivious?"

"Yeah, I don't know anything. I have never done the things that the martial arts association said, and I have never been to the deceased's community. I am a dentist. How can I kill someone!"

Tang Chunfeng quickly denied it, with a sincere and even puzzled expression.

If Zhang Wei saw his performance, he would believe him in all likelihood, because this performance did not look like a lie.

But Lawyer Niu was different. He always felt that Tang Chunfeng was lying.

"The evidence provided by the Martial Arts Association, DNA comparison records, and eyewitness testimonies all point to you, but you say you didn't kill anyone. Who are you lying to?"

Lawyer Niu slapped the table and made a "bang".

"In your case, the evidence is solid. You still think you are innocent. Do you think I am a fool?"

Tang Chunfeng was so frightened that his body trembled.

Seeing this, Tang's mother hurriedly pleaded: "Lawyer, my son is not that kind of person, not that kind of person..."

"Lawyer Niu, my younger brother has been honest since he was a child, and he didn't even dare to kill a chicken, so he only chose stomatology in medical school. Your words are a bit serious." Tang Chunde also hastened to help.

But Lawyer Niu seemed to believe that Tang Chunfeng was the murderer, and said coldly, "There is only one way out of this case, and that is to plead guilty and settle!"

As soon as this remark came out, Tang Chunfeng's face darkened, and he shook his head quickly: "Why should I plead guilty to something I haven't done, I really haven't done it, I'm innocent..."

"Hmph!" Lawyer Niu sneered, and sneered, "Innocent or not, it's not up to you alone, it's the evidence that has the final say, the jury and the court have the final say!"

He got up straight away, shaking his suit, "Tang Chunde, tell your brother, if he pleads guilty, maybe he can reduce his sentence to 30 or 25 years, otherwise he will stay in prison for the rest of his life!"

After lawyer Niu finished speaking, he left without looking back, obviously not intending to stay in the detention center any longer.

"Lawyer Niu, Lawyer Niu, don't leave, Lawyer Niu..."

Seeing this, Tang Chunde hurriedly chased him out, but after a few minutes, he returned with a disappointed face.

Obviously, Lawyer Niu left.

He had already stated his conditions, and he didn't intend to waste any more time. He just wanted Tang Chunfeng to plead guilty quickly and end the case quickly.

Tang Chunfeng kept insisting that he was innocent, and he didn't change his position when the mother and son talked.

Visiting hours passed before we knew it.

After leaving the detention center, Mother Tang took Tang Chunde's hand, her eyes full of sadness.

"Ade, what should we do now!"

"What to do, how do I know!"

But Tang Chunde shook off his old mother with a dull expression on his face.

Lawyer Niu in the legal department of his company has said so, what else can he do, he is not a lawyer.

Attorney Niu asked his brother to plead guilty, but there was nothing he could do, unless there were other lawyers who could help.

"It really doesn't work, go find the guy from the Blackfoot Office!"

Tang Chunde thought for a while, and carefully picked up the phone.

He has been in the East for so many years, and he still has some connections, at least he knows some powerful lawyers from the top ten law firms.

But when it comes to the Blackfoot Office, he has some headaches.

Because this firm, although its professional ability is very strong, otherwise it would not be among the top ten lawyers in the Eastern Metropolis.

But Blackfoot Firm is also famous for asking for money. In the entire Oriental Capital lawyer circle, Blackfoot has a bad reputation. Many lawyers have even been investigated by the Ethics Committee.

But thinking of the old mother's face, Tang Chunde still couldn't bear to refuse.

"Hello, is this Lawyer Hu..."

...

Dongfangdu, Blackfoot Law Firm.

"I've heard about your case. It's very difficult, especially when the felony department of the Eastern Metropolitan Prosecutor's Headquarters took over the case. This is not a simple opponent."

"The defense of innocence is impossible. In the face of that kind of evidence, no one can complete the defense of innocence. I can only help you fight for a discretionary commutation of sentence."

"The Prosecutor's Headquarters of the Eastern Metropolis charged you with intentional homicide, and the sentence is likely to be life imprisonment. Most lawyers can help you get 30 or 25 years at most, but if I use my connections, I might be able to help you get 20 years."

"Let's calculate the cost. For 100,000 yuan a year, you have to pay me an extra 500,000 yuan. If you think it's okay, then sign this agency contract!"

Looking at Lawyer Hu in front of him and the agency contract on the table, Tang Chunde and Tang Mu looked at each other, not knowing what to do for a while.

"Lawyer Hu, is it true that you can't plead not guilty?" Tang Chunde still planned to struggle.

Lawyer Hu put down the pen in his hand, leaned back slowly, leaned against the back of the chair, and there was a hint of sharpness in his narrow eyes: "Tang Chunde, are you joking with me?"

"I want to ask, who gave you the courage!!!"

He almost yelled out the last sentence, and at the same time, many black suits stood up all around, which brought enormous psychological pressure to Tang Chunde and Tang Mu.

Seeing that the sense of oppression was already enough, Lawyer Hu stood up suddenly, stepped on the desk, and said in a high-pitched voice: "Tang Chunde, you are just a small manager of the marketing department of Tianxiang Network. I talk like this!"

"If you were the director of Tianxiang Network, I would give you some face, but you are a middle-level wage earner. Does someone from me need to give you face?"

When Tang Chunde was pressed for questioning like this, a few drops of sweat dripped from his forehead.

"Yes, yes, what Lawyer Hu said was that my mother and I discussed it, discussed it..."

Tang Chunde took Tang Mu and walked out of the Heizu office cautiously.

"Ade, what are we going to do now!"

When she left the Blackfoot office, Tang's mother sat on the ground slumped, tears streaming down her face.

"Cry, cry, cry, you know how to cry, what's the use of crying!"

Seeing his old mother like this, Tang Chunde was furious.

But he still couldn't bear it in the end, after all, this was his own mother.

"Go to another firm and ask, maybe there is a lawyer who can help us..."

Finally, in desperation, they went to several lesser-known law firms.

"We can't handle this case!"

"Sorry, Mr. Tang, we can't handle this case."

"Reduce the sentence as appropriate. I can reduce your brother's sentence to 25 years at most. It depends on whether the prosecutor cooperates. If you say you want to plead not guilty, that is simply a fantasy!"

"Mr. Tang, I suggest you go to a legal clinic, or go to a public defender. They may be able to help you figure out a way. We really can't do it."

After running for a day, this is the feedback I got.

When some lawyers heard that their opponent was the Serious Crimes Division of the District Prosecutor's Headquarters, they directly shook their heads and refused.

If they really wanted to defend their innocence, they all suggested that Tang Chunde go to a public defender.

But Tang Chunde also knew the level of public defenders. If the case was left to them, Tang Chunfeng would definitely be sentenced to life.

In the evening, after sending his old mother back to his residence, Tang Chunde drove back to his house in the outer ring.

The house is not big, two bedrooms and one living room, 80 square meters, 4.5 million when I bought it, Tang Chunde repaid the loan

"Husband~"

As soon as he entered the door, the alluring woman rushed forward enthusiastically.

But Tang Chunde lost interest, he just subconsciously pushed away the other party, and sat down on the sofa with a dejected expression.

"Hey, I didn't expect that after so many years of messing around, I, Mr. Tang, am not a fart..."

"Husband, what's the matter with you?" The woman leaned over and asked in a low voice.

"Don't mention it, it's my stupid brother. My mother has loved him since he was a child, so what happened!"

When Tang Chunfeng was mentioned, Tang Chunde felt angry. This kid was loved by his parents since he was born later than him.

Now that something happened to him, his family broke his leg because of him, and he also suffered so much.

If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't let go of his old mother, he really wanted to see his brother die!

After hearing this, the woman breathed a sigh of relief, and muttered, "Oh, so I was worried about your family. I thought you still missed that little beauty..."

"Little beauty!"

After Tang Chunde heard this, Xia Qianyue appeared in his mind, and then he suddenly remembered something.

"Wait, that note!"

Tang Chunde rummaged at home for a while, and finally found the note in the trash can.

"Criminal defense lawyer: Zhang Wei!" Tang Chunde hesitated the moment he saw the note.

Because Zhang Wei is too young, he looks like a student, even the other party has not yet obtained a certificate.

If the other party has a certificate, there will naturally be a business card instead of a piece of handwritten paper.

"Do you want to find him? That kid doesn't look like someone who will come to trouble, but no one can be trusted now. Do you want to treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor..."

After hesitating for a moment, Tang Chunde crumpled the note into a ball and didn't make the call.

"Forget it, let's see what my brother's public defender says tomorrow. If it doesn't work, then find that kid!"

The next day, early in the morning.

Tang Chunde took his old mother to the detention center again, and Tang Chunfeng's public defender went with him.

"I don't have much time to deal with your brother's case. Let him plead guilty quickly. This is good for both of you and him. The local prosecutor's headquarters said that if you plead guilty for 25 years, your sentence can be reduced. This condition seems to me. Already good!"

The public defender was like a stereotype, speaking to Tang Chunde and Tang Mu in an emotionless tone.

"Lawyer, is there really no way to defend innocence?" Tang Chunde still hesitated.

"Not guilty, are you a lawyer or am I a lawyer?"

The lawyer smiled and said coldly: "I still have 17 cases to deal with. Do you know what they said to me the most when I went to see my clients?"

Tang Chunde and Tang Mu looked at each other.

"They say I'm innocent, I didn't kill anyone, I didn't steal anything, I didn't hit that person... Anyway, these are all the words. Is your family different from them?"

The lawyer waved his hand and said impatiently: "Now the evidence is solid, how will your brother get off the crime, why don't you tell me?"

"The current situation is like this. I have already told you all the conditions. Either you choose to plead guilty, or you choose a new lawyer. Anyway, I will not help him defend his innocence. After all, the case is definitely lost. Either you Just invite Gao Ming!"

He dropped a word and left without looking back.

Seeing the defense lawyer leave, Tang's mother burst into tears, and Tang Chunde's face was ashen.

"No, it can't be like this, I can't swallow this breath!"

Finally, Tang Chunde became angry.

He has suffered so much anger in the past few days, even a clay figurine has three points of anger, let alone him.

"Call this kid. If he still insists on pleading guilty, then I will go to another place to hire a lawyer. I won't believe it today. No one dares to defend my brother's innocence!"

After Tang Chunde finished speaking harshly, he finally dialed a number.

"Sorry, the number you called is busy, please try again later..."

Tang Chunde listened to the busy tone on the phone in a daze, with an unprecedented astonishment on his face.

"Sorry, the number you called is currently active..."

"Sorry, the number you called..."

"Fuck, this kid blocked my number!"

Tang Chunde even forgot how he asked for Zhang Wei's number in the first place, and it was understandable for the other party to block him.

In desperation, he could only use the landline of the detention center to make a phone call.

"Hello, that one?"

On the other end of the phone, Zhang Wei got through the number.

"Brother Zhang, it's me, Tang Chunde..."

"Oh, what's the matter with the clothes delivery guy that day?"

"It's nothing, I just want to ask, brother, are you free recently? I happen to have something to do here, and I need to trouble you to do a little favor."

"A case, or something else? I can help with the case, but I'll hang up on other things!"

The corner of Tang Chunde's mouth twitched, but when he thought of the old mother still waiting, he could only take a deep breath and try to calm himself down.

"It's a case..."

"Okay, I see, you report the address, I'll come right away!"
