Crazy, You Call This a Trainee Lawyer

Chapter 42 Please be a character witness, the first day of the trial

It was already afternoon when Zhang Wei left the martial arts association.

After reading the dossier, he also had some understanding of the deceased Chen.

According to the investigation by Wuxi, Chen did not have a full-time job before his death, but he had a job repairing and reselling illegal mobile phones in a black market somewhere.

Many of the mobile phones he sold were illegally stolen by pickpockets. He was responsible for dismantling the security controls to prevent the original owner from being located. He also did sales and after-sales work.

When he learned about Chen's work, Zhang Wei felt that it was not inconceivable that he was killed.

People who engage in illegal activities are already contaminated with gray industries and are more likely to be killed by vendettas.

Chen's death may have been accidental or premeditated.

But with these more clues, Zhang Wei was more certain that his client, Tang Chunfeng, was not the murderer.

However, to prove that Tang Chunfeng was not the murderer, one had to break the testimony of Chen's son, which was not an easy task.

Zhang Wei decided to go to Tang Chunfeng's clinic first, maybe he could find something.

He came to the Spring Breeze Clinic located in the southeast of Central, but today the clinic is closed, and a "Closed" sign is also hung on the door.

The door of the clinic was closed, and Zhang Wei stayed at the door for a while.

Chunfeng Clinic is located in an old alley, and there are not many pedestrians, but not far away, there are some elderly uncles and aunts gathering together to chat.

The uncles and aunts chatted wildly, and it had nothing to do with him, Zhang Wei.

Fortunately, he asked Tang Chunfeng in advance for a list of the clinic's employees, just in time to give it a try.

Zhang Wei took out his mobile phone and began to enter the number.

"Hi, is this Dr. Li? I'm Dr. Tang's lawyer. Excuse me..."

"I've told the Martial Arts Association what I should say, don't come to me again, Dududu..."

Looking at the hung up phone, Zhang Wei was stunned.

This Mr. Li, who seemed to be another resident dentist in the clinic, hung up the phone directly after hearing Zhang Wei's self-reported home.

Obviously, this Dr. Li should have been questioned by the serious case team 3, and now he is in a hurry to disown Tang Chunfeng and the Chunfeng Clinic.

After all, Tang Chunfeng is now a murder suspect. For the peaceful Dragon Kingdom, being involved in a murder is not a good thing.

"Try others!"

Since Dr. Li can't do it, Zhang Wei can only continue to find the next one.

"Hello, is this Ms. Jiang, the accountant? I'm Dr. Tang's lawyer. I want to ask you a few questions. I don't know if I can..."

"I don't know anything, Dududu..."

Looking at the phone that was hung up again, the muscles at the corners of Zhang Wei's mouth trembled.

"Next!"

He continued to dial, looking for the next person.

"Hi, is this nurse Zhang? I'm Dr. Tang..."

"I don't know Dr. Tang, I don't know!"

Old Zhang on the phone roared, then hung up the phone roughly.

"I still don't believe it, you guys are really wolf-hearted, you don't even care about your own boss."

Zhang Wei got angry and dialed again.

"Hello, is this Aunt Lu, the cleaning lady?"

"Beep beep..."

"Is it Miss Peng at the front desk?"

"Beep beep..."

"Is it Master Yu, the electrician?"

"Beep beep..."

"Is it Miss Huang, the nurse?"

"Yes, I am, who are you?"

In Zhang Wei's numbness, a woman suddenly asked.

Zhang Wei was surprised that the nurse didn't hang up the phone.

"Hello, Ms. Huang, I'm Dr. Tang's lawyer. It's not convenient for Fang to find a place to chat. I want to know something about Dr. Tang from you!"

"Okay, okay, where are you?"

"I'm at the door of the clinic."

"Understood, then wait for me for 15 minutes..."

The other side hung up the phone, but it was good news for Zhang Wei.

Fifteen minutes later, Zhang Wei was still waiting at the door of the clinic.

"Hello, is this the lawyer Zhang who called just now?"

A weak female voice sounded.

Zhang Wei followed the voice and saw a round-faced girl with an "apple head" hairstyle, wearing a fleece sweater and a pink scarf. She looked about twenty-five or sixteen years old at most.

"Are you Huang Xiali, a nurse at Chunfeng Clinic?"

"Yes, then you must be Lawyer Zhang!"

"Yes, let's find a place to talk!"

Zhang Wei nodded, and took Huang Xiali straight to a nearby coffee shop. After ordering coffee, the two sat down and started talking.

"I want to ask, why did you agree to come and meet me when so many people hung up on me?"

Zhang Wei was also unambiguous, and went straight to the point.

"Because, I think Dr. Tang is a good person, he can't kill people..." Huang Xiali replied weakly.

Zhang Wei narrowed his eyes and looked at the round-faced girl in front of him.

"It is true. I also think that Dr. Tang will never kill people, but the other employees of the clinic don't think so. They answered my call as if they saw a scourge."

People are so realistic. The other employees of the Spring Breeze Clinic let Zhang Wei see that people go out of their way.

On the contrary, it was Huang Xiali, the nurse, whose behavior surprised Zhang Wei. The other party had an inexplicable sense of trust in Tang Chunfeng.

"I want to ask, what kind of person is the Dr. Tang you know?"

"Dr. Tang, he is a very good person. After spending two years with him, I found that Dr. Tang is not only a good doctor who is conscientious, but also a filial person. Although he sometimes behaves a little better, but……"

Following Huang Xiali's narration, Zhang Wei verified Tang Chunfeng's guesses one by one.

Tang Chunfeng may have been a baby boy when he was a child, and he was very dependent on his family, but he was not bad in nature and had a good personality.

After medical school, he kept his job, lived with his family every day, and didn't pick up any bad habits.

Such a person doesn't even smoke or drink, and doesn't even have a parking ticket. He is simply a good model citizen, a proper child of other people's family.

"By the way, Lawyer Zhang, how is the doctor doing?" Huang Xiali asked with concern after she finished speaking.

"Fortunately, he was released on bail, but Dr. Tang has been very bad recently. He was prosecuted for unwarranted charges and became a murder suspect. No one would feel better if he were replaced."

"This is actually..."

Huang Xiali nodded, her face became a little ugly.

"Huang Xiali, if you were to be Tang Chunfeng's "character witness", would you be willing? "

"What, character witness, what is this?"

"It's very simple. You need to tell everyone what kind of person Dr. Tang Chunfeng is, so that the public can understand that he would never do such a thing as murder."

Having said that, Zhang Wei looked at Huang Xiali: "The question now is, are you willing?"

"I...for Dr. Tang, I am willing!"

Huang Xiali agreed and agreed to be Tang Chunfeng's moral witness.

Zhang Wei could see that Huang Xiali's relationship with Tang Chunfeng was not only the relationship between the boss and the employees, but one party might have some kind of affection for the other party.

But Zhang Wei has no time to think about this now, he still has a place to go.

After finishing the conversation with Huang Xiali, he hurried to a relatively depressed commercial street in Central.

This commercial street, because there are no subway facilities nearby, the overall traffic is inconvenient, so it seems that there are not many people.

But it is also because of this that many unlicensed stalls and hawkers gather, and even in the deepest part of the commercial street, it is said that there are still some gray industries.

This is also where the deceased Chen worked part-time.

Looking in from the entrance of the commercial gate, Zhang Wei found some small vendors with wicked eyebrows, and it seemed that their foundations were not very clean.

"Hey, that's strange. If Chen died, didn't the people in Group 3 investigate this place?"

Zhang Wei seemed to have noticed something, a sneer sneered at the corner of his mouth, and then he walked into the commercial street.

...

The next day, early in the morning.

"Little girl, I'm in a hurry to go to court today, so I won't make you breakfast. Go to the breakfast stall in the commercial street next door and eat a bowl of wonton by yourself!"

"Understood, you don't need to remind me every day, is it annoying..."

Hearing the voice from upstairs, Zhang Wei's mouth twitched.

After he got up in a hurry, he just tidied up briefly, and he didn't even have time to make breakfast.

But there is no way, who let today be the court day, and he prepared for too long last night, and even spent more than ten hours simulating the trial by relying on his "special ability".

So he went to bed late and woke up late, and his current energy is still a little lacking.

"Xiao Zhang, you got up so early?"

Blacksmith Zhao next door was actually there today, and he greeted Zhang Wei even more after seeing Zhang Wei.

"Uncle Zhao, today is not the weekend, you came back early?"

"Yeah, the project department is not busy recently, the boss gave us a few days off, by the way, you are in a hurry, and you are going out again?"

There are still programmers who don't work overtime!

Zhang Wei couldn't believe it, and suspected that he had heard it wrong.

But he still responded: "Yeah, I'm in a hurry to start the trial. The pre-trial jury will start the trial this morning, and the trial will be held in the afternoon. Time is tight!"

"It's Dr. Tang's case. I've heard about it too. There are a lot of news about this case on the Internet. I didn't expect the defense lawyer to be your kid. If you dare to take this case, you are not afraid of losing the lawsuit?"

"Uncle Zhao, I don't accept the case for the sake of winning or losing, but for the truth, and I don't think I will lose. I only know that there is an innocent person waiting for me to uphold justice for him!"

Zhang Wei said, looked at the time, waved goodbye to Zhao Qingyan and went straight to the bus stop.

"Is it for the truth, but the truth is not what the martial arts association said? Judging by his appearance, is it really sure?"

Zhao Qingyan suddenly became interested, and also took out his mobile phone.

"Driver, come here. I'm not going to rest at home today. Take me to the city court. I'm going to watch a trial."

If Zhang Wei knew that Zhao Qingyan was planning to go to the court, he would not have to wait for the bus so hard, he would just take a bus directly.

But now, following the swarm of office workers, he experienced the "crowded massage" of Oriental Capital's special transportation service.

When he came to the city court, he felt as if he had lost his soul.

"Fortunately I didn't have breakfast..."

He muttered, bought a steamed stuffed bun at the breakfast shop in front of the court, and hurriedly filled his hunger.

He bit the bun and waited at the gate of the court.

While Zhang Wei was waiting, there were more and more people at the gate of the court, and many of them were reporters from the TV station.

They held up the microphone, stood at the gate of the court, facing the camera, and started the live broadcast.

"This is Dongfangdu TV Station, and I'm a reporter from this station..."

"Good morning, everyone. Dongfang Metropolis Morning News will bring you a live broadcast. This trial case is the most popular murder case of a dentist in our city recently..."

"The suspect, Tang Chunfeng, is the attending doctor of a dental clinic in our city. He graduated from the Oriental Metropolitan University of Medicine and Science. He is a native of the Eastern Metropolis. It is hard to imagine that such a person would commit murder and kill And the father of an innocent child..."

Zhang Wei stood aside, listening to the media reports, but he was speechless.

The media is like this, they like to exaggerate. Before the crime is settled, they have already determined that Tang Chunfeng is the murderer.

Under the swarm of media, Tang Chunfeng finally came.

Escorted by the martial arts association, he came to the court from his home, accompanied by Tang Mu and Tang Chunde.

Seeing one of the parties involved, the media swarmed up like sharks smelling blood, and surrounded their family.

"Doctor Tang, why did you kill someone?"

"As a doctor, shouldn't you save lives and heal the wounded?"

"As a dentist, what does it feel like to kill someone with a scalpel?"

"Doctor Tang, do you know what kind of impact you have had on the Medical University and your former mentor?"

Facing the fierce fire from the media, Tang Chunfeng could only bury his head deeply, and walked into the court in silence under the protection of the martial arts association's escorts.

Zhang Wei, Tang Chunde, and Tang's mother nodded and walked in.

Because of the seriousness of the case this time, the city court specially arranged for the middle court on the fourth floor to hear it.

4th floor, preparation room.

Tang Chunde put on a decent suit, and sat with Zhang Wei under the protection of Tang Mu and Tang Chunfeng.

"Lawyer Zhang, today is the day of the court session, what should I do?"

"You don't need to do anything, as long as you behave normally, in fact, it will be more beneficial to me if you be yourself."

Facing Tang Chunfeng's worries, Zhang Wei was calm enough.

"You just have to make sure that when the jurors look over, they see a cowardly, kind and innocent person. As long as you don't act particularly indifferent, that's enough to help me."

Zhang Wei said, picked up the list of witnesses, and began to check.

"Hey, why isn't the deceased Chen's son on today's witness list?"

"Lawyer Zhang, isn't it normal that the deceased's son doesn't show up? He's just a child..."

Although Tang Chunde was puzzled, he thought it was a good thing.

But Zhang Wei shook his head and vetoed: "You don't understand, this child is a killer weapon, which is equivalent to a nuclear weapon in a trial. Once used, it is basically a one-hit kill. The prosecution cannot let such a good witness go. They Must be planning something."

"Lawyer Zhang, you mean..."

"It seems that they are preparing for tomorrow. Before we counter the evidence tomorrow, the prosecution will let the child come out to testify against your brother. In this way, no matter how we present evidence, the jurors may not believe it!"

"This...how can I do this..." Now, even Tang's mother felt that the situation was bad, and her face showed worry.

"Auntie, don't worry, since they don't plan to use this trick today, it's also an opportunity for me to refute their other evidence!"

As Zhang Wei said, a flash of confidence flashed in his eyes.

He has prepared for so long for today, just to refute the prosecution in court.

"Let's go, the court is about to start, let's enter first."

When Zhang Wei brought Tang Chunfeng and his party into the court, there were already many people here.

Zhang Wei scanned the crowd, only to find several familiar figures in the hearing booth.

Tan Yingying and Guo Wufeng from the Misdemeanor Division of the District Prosecutor's Headquarters came. Sitting beside Tan Yingying was Xiao Baihe, and beside Guo Wufeng was a middle-aged man with a gloomy expression, dignified face, and half-bald hair. He looked like a leader.

Judging from Guo Wufeng's vaguely lowered head and ears when talking to the other party, this middle-aged man should have a higher status than the former.

Guo Wufeng saw Zhang Wei, and hurriedly whispered to the middle-aged man, and casually pointed to Zhang Wei.

The middle-aged man turned his head and looked over with a curious and scrutinizing gaze. Zhang Wei felt the sharp gaze, but he was unafraid.

He walked up to Xiao Baihe, greeted her with a smile, "Long time no see, Prosecutor Xiao."

Tan Yingying at the side saw Zhang Wei, and she quickly lowered her head in fright, like a little ostrich.

"What are you doing here, the defense seat is your place!" Xiao Baihe was relatively stiff, standing up and staring at Zhang Wei.

"It's nothing, I just saw Prosecutor Xiao Baihe, so I subconsciously came over to say hello." Zhang Wei didn't care at all, but pointed to Guo Wufeng's position and asked, "By the way, who is that next to Guo Wufeng? He's been staring at me since I came in."

"He's my boss, Zhao Chunming, the head of the felony division!" Xiao Baihe didn't hide anything, and revealed the identity of the middle-aged man.

"Oh, it turned out to be the leader of the Serious Crimes Division of the Local Prosecutor's Headquarters. In the future, we will inevitably have to fight against him, so today are you here to make eye contact with me?"

Zhang Wei smiled and said he knew.

He walked back to the defense seat, just in time to see Wang Can sitting in the prosecution seat, and sneered towards him.

"The guy who stabs people in the back will never be on the stage!" Zhang Wei looked at the other party and sneered in his heart.

Let the people from the Serious Case Team 3 trip him up, and I have to say that this Wang Can is a villain.

Whatever he says today, he has to teach this villain a lesson.

And just as the two sides were preparing, more and more people were present at the hearing, including martial arts associations, melon-eaters, and even lawyers and judicial system staff who heard the news.

Of course, for such a hot case, many people from the media also came.

The Municipal Court made a bit of a miscalculation. They didn't expect this case to attract so much attention, and the hearing seats in the Central Court seemed a little crowded.

"Please invite the judge to enter!"

While everyone was busy, the pre-trial finally started and the judge entered.

Everyone was all tempered and focused, looking at the trial seat.

This time the judge was a middle-aged man wearing glasses, with his hair combed back, looking gentle.

"Considering the impact of the case and the situation of the victim's family, the city court decided to expedite the trial, so the preliminary trial will be held this morning and the court will be held in the afternoon. Everyone understands!"

After the judge sat down, he spoke immediately.

Zhang Wei naturally knew about this, and no one in the entire court objected.

"Then, let's get started, please enter the jury!"
