Crazy, You Call This a Trainee Lawyer

Li Qinghe was still asking questions, and screened out 3 more jurors with new ideas.

Most of the ones she left behind were people who Zhang Wei considered more traditional.

"Lawyer Zhang, do you have any ideas?"

Kong Hang seemed to notice that Zhang Wei's brows were furrowed, and quickly asked in a low voice.

Zhang Wei revealed a little bit of his inner thoughts about the selection of the jury.

"Then what should we do? Is the situation unfavorable to us?" Kong Hang looked worried.

"Wrong, the situation is not good for you!" Zhang Wei corrected this with a smile.

"You forgot, this time the prosecution cannot prove that the two of you committed a crime together, and you are not husband and wife, so you cannot be regarded as a criminal whole. Even if this is a trial, the charges of the two of you can be completely different... ..."

After Zhang Wei said this, he didn't say the rest.

Because he felt that he was about to be stabbed by a "good teammate".

"That lawyer Zhang, why don't you do something?" Hearing Zhang Wei's professional analysis, Kong Hang's expression changed a lot.

"Of course I'm going to do something, it's not my style to get caught!"

Zhang Wei said, just when Li Qinghe wanted to continue to ask a question, he hit the nail on the head: "The defense wants to ask additional questions!"

This sound successfully interrupted Li Qinghe's question, and also made the eyes of the court focus on Zhang Wei.

Li Qinghe showed displeasure, and walked quickly to Zhang Wei.

"Xiao Zhang, what do you mean by interrupting me?"

"Auntie, you have worked hard, but I also want to ask a question, can you please let me go up there to have fun?"

However, Zhang Wei put on an eager attitude, and almost wrote the sentence "I am going to court for the first time, please let me go up and show my face".

Li Qinghe pondered for a moment, and his heart softened when he thought that Zhang Wei was also his junior after all.

"That's fine, but the question you asked must be..."

"Auntie, I know it well!"

Zhang Wei got up quickly, staggered away from Li Qinghe, and walked towards the jury box.

As for what Li Qinghe wanted to tell him, he didn't need to listen, because it was all nonsense.

Now it was Zhang Wei's turn to ask questions. He looked at the jury box with a pensive look on his face.

Because Li Qinghe had already used up 4 chances for defense lawyers to eliminate jurors, and defense lawyers only had 6 chances at most in a trial.

In other words, he could only eliminate two jurors.

Looking at the 12 people in front of him, Zhang Wei began to think quickly.

What kind of questions to ask can not only quickly locate the character of the jurors, but also screen out jurors who are unfavorable to one's own side.

While Zhang Wei was thinking, Li Qinghe sat down slowly.

She opened the thermos in front of her and began to drink water to replenish her strength...

Before the jury seat, Zhang Wei thought for 5 seconds before decisively asking:

"If I tell everyone that there are underground people living under our feet, would you believe it?"

puff--

Li Qinghe sprayed out all the water in his mouth at once.

Realizing her gaffe, she quickly took out a handkerchief from her pocket and wiped it, while looking around, but luckily no one saw this scene.

All eyes were attracted by Zhang Wei's question.

Li Qinghe didn't know whether it was because of shame and anger, or because of surprise, she blushed and looked at Zhang Wei.

Subterraneans, what's the problem?

Although I asked you to ask a question, I didn't expect this question to be so outrageous!

As soon as this question came up, Fang Wenbin, the prosecutor, opened his mouth wide and was in a daze...

He has been a prosecutor for nearly 30 years, has been involved in many cases, and has seen many questions from defense lawyers, but this is the first time he has heard of such an unreliable question.

The same is true for Xiao Baihe in the hearing booth. Although she knows that Zhang Wei's question is a bit "unconstrained" and abstract...

But what the hell are underground people? This is also a question that can be raised in court?

At her side, Attorney Zhuo of Aoki didn't come back to his senses, and a group of newcomers around him went down collectively as soon as the problem arose.

They are thinking, should this question be written down, but what is the point of writing it down?

Could it be that underground people really live underground?

Several young lawyers looked at the ground under their feet suspiciously, and one girl even raised her foot slightly, for fear of stepping on someone underneath...

At the center of everyone's eyes, Zhang Wei was calm and pointed to a juror to ask questions.

"Do you believe what the underground people say?"

"Do you think I look like an idiot, lawyer?"

This answer made Zhang Wei slightly taken aback.

Someone actually answered the question with a question!

"Then your answer is..."

"Of course I don't believe it!"

Zhang Wei nodded, paid special attention to this person, and then asked again: "Then let me see everyone, if you believe what I say, please raise your hand..."

In the jury seat, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.

Some people wanted to raise their hands, but when they saw that no one raised their hands around them, they could only put them down angrily.

Seeing that no one raised their hands, Zhang Wei was not surprised, because this was the purpose of his question.

"Then, if you don't believe what the underground people say, please raise your hand!"

This time, many people in the jury raised their hands.

But there are also a few people who, whether just now or now, have not raised their hands.

"Thank you to those who raised their hands, you can put it down."

After Zhang Wei thanked him, he walked in front of a person who hadn't raised his hand from the beginning to the end.

"Sir, why don't you raise your hand? Don't you believe in underground people and don't believe in underground people?"

"I think this question is a waste of time. How can there be underground people in this world!"

This person sneered, quite disdainful of Zhang Wei's question.

Zhang Wei nodded in satisfaction, and turned to look at the jury: "Your Excellency, the defense has requested jurors No. 7 and No. 15 to leave the seat, and thank them for their participation!"

No. 7, the person who asked Zhang Wei back, did not raise his hand from the beginning to the end.

On the 15th, they think that Zhang Wei's question is a waste of time.

Zhang Wei used the last two chances to remove them from the jury.

When he returned to the defense bench, he saw Wang Xi, Kong Hang and Li Qinghe all looking at him suspiciously.

"Zhang Wei, I need an explanation!"

Li Qinghe was very angry. I gave you a chance to ask questions, but I didn't ask you to ask random questions. Are you fooling around?

The defendant is her niece. You actually wasted two chances to screen jurors. Isn't that making the case more difficult?

Zhang Wei had no choice but to explain: "Actually, my question is meaningful."

"What's the point?" Li Qinghe didn't believe it at all.

If you, Zhang Wei, can explain why, I, Li Qinghe, will...

Before the flag was set, Zhang Wei's explanation had already come.

"Actually, I asked the jury whether they believed in the existence of underground people. I didn't care at all whether they would consider this possibility. It doesn't matter to me whether they believe it or not. I want to filter out those who have never thought about it at all. The people who raised their hands show that they have no intention of changing the facts they believe in, and they don't even have the intention of listening to other opinions."

"And their expressions in answering questions were too indifferent, and they would not understand the grievances our client suffered, so I decisively excluded them."

"As for the rest, especially those who want to raise their hands, they are the jurors we need most."

"Xiao Zhang, what do you mean by that?" Li Qinghe was already unconsciously attracted by Zhang Wei's words, and she was completely unaware of it.

Zhang Wei smiled slightly: "It's very simple. They thought about raising their hands to show that they believed something that they couldn't prove themselves. Who in this world can prove the existence of underground people?"

Li Qinghe was stunned. After listening to Zhang Wei's explanation, she felt that there was some reason for it...

"Now that the jury has been finalized, let me take a look..." On the trial seat, the judge also spoke at the right time.

He looked through the recent court schedule and finally finalized the date: "We will start the trial on Friday, and the prosecution will take the lead in making a statement, and then we will look at the schedule for next Monday. Now the court is adjourned and dismissed."

Hearing the judge's sentence, Zhang Wei frowned.

"Lawyer Zhang, why are you frowning again?" Kong Hang on the side noticed Zhang Wei's strangeness and asked quickly.

"The timing is not good, it's not good for us." Zhang Wei shook his head, feeling a little helpless.

Kong Hang glanced at Li Qinghe, seeing that the other party did not express anything, he continued to ask: "What is this saying, doesn't Xiaoxi's aunt have any objections?"

"Because she is the leader, she probably hasn't been in court for a while, so I can't see the problem."

Zhang Wei smiled and explained to Kong Hang: "If you go to court on Friday and ask the prosecution to make a statement of the case, he will present piece by piece of evidence and explain to the jury the robbery of you and Wang Xi. God, what's going on in a juror's head?"

"They'll go through the whole weekend with the idea that Xiaoxi and I are robbers in their heads..."

Kong Hang muttered subconsciously, and immediately reacted.

Zhang Wei stopped laughing, and his face was silent: "So, generally, whoever speaks on Friday can take advantage of the jury's public opinion. Jurors will only remember what the prosecution told them the day before the weekend, and the prosecution only wants to Prove one thing, that is, you are guilty. Even if it is not true, it is useless, because the jurors don’t care about it, right? The question they think about the most is how to spend this weekend.”

Kong Hang looked at Zhang Wei, but he was full of admiration in his heart. Although this lawyer looked young, he felt very powerful.

On the other hand, Li Qinghua, although he is the leader of Qingmu Law Firm, gives people a feeling that he is not good enough.

"Okay, I can't change this matter, let's see what Fang Wenbin has to say first!"

Zhang Wei said, looking at the prosecutor's seat.

Kong Hang on the side also became nervous.

Fang Wenbin, as the prosecution, needs to submit a public list of witnesses and evidence after confirming the trial.

As lawyers for the defense, they will all get this list.

"Li Qinghe, I have to say that your questions are wonderful!"

Fang Wenbin came over, and once he came, he "connoted" Zhang Wei's level.

As he spoke, he handed a list to Li Qinghe.

"Ahem, Prosecutor Fang, have you forgotten me?"

Zhang Wei hurriedly made a sound to remind the other party.

"Oh, I almost forgot, you are two defendants, so you have two defense lawyers, you need two lists..."

As Fang Wenbin spoke, he handed another list to Zhang Wei, but he couldn't hide the contempt in his eyes when he spoke.

Lawyers are ranked based on seniority, and he just looks down on Zhang Wei, a newcomer.

Fortunately, Zhang Wei didn't plan to bother him, and started scanning after getting the list.

"Hey, why is Wang Fugui on the witness list?"

Zhang Wei exclaimed when he saw a striking name on the list.

Not only him, Li Qinghe and Wang Xi were also surprised.

"Oh, I almost forgot to mention that Wang Fugui woke up, and the old man is still in good health. The hospital specially approved him to testify in court!"

Fang Wenbin sneered. Although he tried his best to control his expression, he couldn't hide the pride on his face.

"Wang Fugui has regained consciousness and is going to testify in court..."

Zhang Wei rolled his eyes and began to think about the good or bad of this matter.

"All in all, the announcement list has been handed over to you, let's see the real trick in court!"

Fang Wenbin left behind a word and walked away with a smile, looking very confident.

Zhang Wei brought Kong Hang, Li Qinghe and others into the preparation room again.

Kong Hang and others will return to the detention center, so now is the only time for the two sides to sit down and discuss.

On the way to the conference room, Zhang Wei quickly scanned the list and locked on a name.

He turned his head and smiled at Kong Hang, with a hint of indescribable bitterness in his smile.

"Lawyer Zhang, could it be..."

"That's right, that's it!"

Infected by Zhang Wei, Kong Hang also showed a wry smile, and the bitterness in his smile was even more bitter than that of Zhang Wei.

After all, when the list came out, Kong Hang was the one who suffered, and Zhang Wei had nothing to do with it.

meeting room.

Everyone takes their seats.

"Wang Fugui actually woke up, is this a good thing or a bad thing?"

Li Qinghe has always been the leader, she spoke first and asked Wang Xi.

The latter thought for a while, and said: "I think it's a good thing, because Manager Wang is very kind to me. He always said that he doesn't have a child under his knees. Seeing me is like seeing a daughter. As long as he doesn't get confused, he should It won't do me any harm..."

Li Qinghe nodded, since Wang Xi said so, the situation can still be controlled.

But Zhang Wei was not optimistic, and he opened his mouth to wake up: "I advise you not to be so optimistic. If the prosecution thinks that Wang Fugui cannot provide effective evidence for conviction, then he will not be arranged to be a witness."

"After all, it is a thankless task for the prosecution to bring an old man who has just been injured and hospitalized to court. If something goes wrong with the old man, the prosecutors will have to bear certain responsibilities."

"Xiao Zhang, what do you mean..." Li Qinghe subconsciously asked after hearing this.

Based on his rich experience, Zhang Wei analyzed: "I think that Wang Fugui may testify against us. Only in this way will the prosecution take the risk of letting him, an old man who is often confused, go to court. "

As soon as this remark came out, the atmosphere in the conference room became tense.

Not only Li Qinghe, but even the brothers Wang Dayang and Wang Dahai who had been standing aside felt the pressure.

Not to mention Wang Xi and Kong Hang, who were involved, looked at each other and saw worry in each other's eyes.

"But...this is not the main problem." At this moment, Zhang Wei broke the solemn atmosphere.

He said, looked at Kong Hang, and sighed: "There is something that Kong Hang needs to explain to you..."

"What's the matter?" Li Qinghe asked subconsciously.

"In the list of witnesses for the prosecution, the witness named Qiu Tiantian, she, how should I put it, should belong to Kong Hang..."

A few minutes later, Li Qinghe's roar came from the conference room.

"How dare you kid!"

"Go to the South Island with my niece for honeymoon, and come back to meet your ex-girlfriend, right? What do you want to do!"

"Break up, you have to break up with me, Wang Xi, listen carefully, this kid is not a thing, it should be said that men don't have a good thing, you listen to my aunt, you break up with me as soon as the case is over, you must break up, It must be divided!"

Li Qinghe growled, and Wang Xi's eyes turned red.

Kong Hang lowered his head and put on a training posture, not daring to look directly at Wang Xi.

Zhang Wei looked sideways at the window of the conference room, waiting for Li Qinghe to finish venting.

As for Wang Dayang and Wang Dahai on the side, although the two brothers were also dissatisfied with Kong Hang's performance, they didn't say anything when they saw that each other had endured all of Li Qinghe's firepower.

After Li Qinghe finished roaring, Zhang Weicai looked at Kong Hang, his eyes beckoning him to explain quickly.

"Auntie, actually I..."

"Who are you calling aunt? Who are you!"

Li Qinghe was still angry, and at the moment he didn't like Kong Hang no matter what.

"Auntie, no, Lawyer Li, I went to see my ex-girlfriend to get back the ring I gave away. It was used by my grandparents when they got married. It is a family heirloom. I want to give the ring to Wang Xi. This is really the reason why I went to her, you have to trust me..."

"Hmph, only ghosts believe you!"

Li Qinghe snorted coldly, he didn't believe Kong Hang's explanation at all.

"Then is your ring coming back?" Zhang Wei interrupted quickly.

"No, she said that the ring was given away, it's hers..." Kong Hang said, his head was already deeply bowed.

Hearing this explanation, Zhang Wei no longer knew what to say.

After a long time, he held back a sentence: "I don't believe your explanation, to be honest, do you think the jury will believe it?"

Naturally the jury wouldn't believe such a lame statement, and they didn't think you were lying, you should be thankful.

Because of Kong Hang's self-exposure, everyone was in a very bad mood, and the atmosphere in the conference room was extremely depressed.

"Kong Hang, you need to go back!"

Fortunately, the guard of the detention center outside the door came.

They wanted to take Kong Hang away, which eased the atmosphere in the meeting room.

"Go away, you boy, disappear from my eyes, go as far as you can!"

Li Qinghe rubbed her forehead, her face was full of exhaustion.

Kong Hang thought he was in the wrong, and looked at Wang Xi, but the latter turned his head away and did not flinch at him.

Kong Hang had no choice but to be taken away from the meeting room.

"Xiao Zhang, I'll see you on Friday!" Li Qinghe didn't intend to stay to discuss with Zhang Wei, so she hurried away with Wang Xi.

Wang Dahai chased his daughter, repeatedly comforting her.

On the contrary, Uncle Wang Dayang nodded to Zhang Wei and left with Li Qinghe.

"This case is tricky!"

Looking at Li Qinghe and his party who left, Zhang Wei felt the pressure!
