Crazy, You Call This a Trainee Lawyer

Friday, court day.

Zhang Wei got up early, prepared breakfast for the second daughter upstairs, and was ready to go to court early.

When I went out, I happened to meet Zhang Xinwu who was out for morning exercises.

"Sister Wu, good morning~"

Zhang Wei greeted each other with a yawn.

As the year approached, Huang Mao, the man with glasses, and others all returned to their hometown one after another.

So Zhang's Martial Arts Hall is very deserted, except for Zhang Xinwu and Lu Ma, there is no one else in it.

Zhang Xinwu's younger brother, Zhang Xinyan, would occasionally come to the martial arts gym, but he would always be taught a lesson by Zhang Xinwu, causing a lot of fuss.

Because of this, Zhang Wei can see Zhang Xinwu doing morning exercises alone every morning.

"Zhang Wei, what's the matter with you, didn't you sleep well at night?"

When Zhang Xinwu saw Zhang Wei, especially after seeing the two dark circles on the latter's face, her concern was beyond words.

"Forget it, I watched the surveillance video for a day and scanned the documents for a day..."

Zhang Wei had no choice but to get the public list on Wednesday. He needed to scan every piece of evidence on the list and investigate the background of every witness.

He even asked Zhao Xiaoxiao to pull out the surveillance videos of several streets near the Fugui jewelry store a few hours before and after the time of the incident, and stayed up all night to watch them all.

After working overtime continuously and even using cheats, he looked so listless.

And today is the court day, and he still needs to rush to court early in the morning.

This reminded Zhang Wei of his previous life, when he was not a barrister, he worked hard to fight a lawsuit for a client, and ran to the ground every day.

Although these days are tough, once he wins the lawsuit, it will give him an inexplicable sense of satisfaction.

This feeling has never been experienced since he opened the law firm and recruited a large number of subordinates.

"Sister Xiaowu, I have to go to court, let's go first, bye..."

Zhang Wei glanced at the time and hurriedly said goodbye to Zhang Xinwu.

"Yeah, you have to take care of yourself, Zhang Wei, be careful not to get tired..."

Looking at the back of Zhang Wei trotting away, Zhang Xinwu watched for a long time, until the former disappeared at the corner of the east gate, she reluctantly looked away.

...

Chengbei District Court.

When Zhang Wei came here, he met an unexpected person.

Prosecutor Xiao Baihe of the District Procuratorate Headquarters.

Xiao Baihe is wearing orthodox business attire today, with his hands crossed on his chest, and he is full of aura.

Her black and bright hair shone charmingly in the morning sun, attracting the eyes of office workers nearby.

"Prosecutor Xiao is waiting for me at the door?"

Zhang Wei almost met Xiao Baihe's gaze, and walked in front of her.

"Of course, I want to see how you get slapped in the face today!" Xiao Baihe's response became much more indifferent.

You woman, you wish for me to die, right?

Zhang Wei thought about whether to turn back, but Xiao Baihe changed his previous aggressiveness and changed his tone.

"Just to remind you, Fang Wenbin is not easy to deal with. He is in the same period as our supervisor Zhao Chunming, and he is a very capable person!"

"Are you worried about me?"

Zhang Wei was taken aback for a moment, this woman actually kindly reminded himself, isn't this unscientific?

"Hmph, stop being so sentimental, I will care about you, a scumbag?"

Xiao Baihe sneered: "I just don't want you to lose in the hands of Chengbei District. The only one who can defeat you is me, Xiao Baihe. Before that, you should show me well!"

Without waiting for Zhang Wei's answer, she went straight into the district court, obviously planning to go to the hearing stand as soon as possible to find a good seat to watch the play.

Zhang Wei pouted, and could only wait at the gate of the court.

Fortunately, the impact of this case was not as great as the Wang Yuqing case. There were not many media reporters at the gate of the Chengbei District Court.

Even if they came, most of them went straight to the court without even thinking about interviewing Zhang Wei, the client's lawyer.

Kong Hang came soon. Accompanied by members of the Wushu Association, he greeted Zhang Wei and went to the conference room to prepare.

After a while, Li Feifei arrived in a car with Li Qinghe and his party.

In the car, brothers Wang Dahai and Wang Dayang accompanied Wang Xi on one left and one on the right, while Li Feifei and Li Qinghe got off the driver's and co-pilot's seats.

"Xiao Zhang, it's quite early!"

"Auntie, you too, we..."

"Go in and talk!"

Zhang Wei wanted to say something, but Li Qinghe left behind a word, and led people straight to the meeting room as if giving orders.

Zhang Wei pouted again, feeling a little upset.

It seemed that Li Qinghe still regarded him as a rookie, a rookie lawyer, and his junior.

"I hope your attitude will not affect the next trial!"

Zhang Wei muttered, and could only keep up.

When he entered the meeting room, he found that the atmosphere inside was a bit depressing.

With a poker face, Li Qinghe sat on the main seat and read the documents without saying a word.

Wang Xi was talking with his father Wang Dahai with his head down, Wang Dayang was standing aside, and Li Feifei was playing with his mobile phone with his head down, not caring about the affairs here at all.

Sitting opposite Wang Xi, Kong Hang wanted to open his mouth to say something several times, but he still dared not speak due to the pressure from Li Qinghe.

"This atmosphere is a bit wrong. If you don't communicate before the trial, how can you discuss countermeasures?"

"And auntie, what you see now is actually the public list of exhibits. You didn't do your homework yesterday, did you?"

Zhang Wei frowned, somewhat dissatisfied with Li Qinghe's attitude.

Li Qinghe did not read the list, but she let her staff read it and gave her a report.

This is the advantage of being a leader, having subordinates to dispatch.

After Li Qinghe flipped through the list hastily, he looked up at Kong Hang.

"I've read the list, let's discuss countermeasures now!"

Zhang Wei quickly sat down and waited for Li Qinghe's instructions.

Li Qinghe glanced around, and then said: "Currently the evidence of the prosecution, there is no way to directly prove that the robber is the two of you, the next thing is to see the credibility of the witness's testimony!"

"Do you have any thoughts on the witnesses provided by the prosecution?"

Wang Xi raised his head and looked at Li Qinghe, but shook his head.

Kong Hang opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say.

He just wanted to talk to Wang Xi alone, but Li Qinghe obviously didn't give him the chance.

"Since there is nothing to say, let's go to court and see what the prosecution will do in the first round!"

Li Qinghe left the preparation room first and went to the court.

Kong Hang deliberately walked behind the team, taking the opportunity to get closer to Wang Xi.

"Keep a little distance between you and my daughter, you are not my son-in-law!"

But his petty actions were stopped by Wang Xi's father, Wang Dahai, with a very unfriendly attitude.

Seeing this scene, Haiyang opened his mouth, but unfortunately he hesitated to speak.

Moreover, the word "son-in-law" in the elder brother's mouth obviously aroused his sadness.

"Son-in-law?" Zhang Wei muttered, suddenly thinking of Li Qinghua's attitude towards him.

These days, it's hard to be a son-in-law...

Wang Dahai led Wang Xi into the courtroom first.

The three of Zhang Wei stayed outside.

"Uncle, what are you..." He looked at Wang Dayang with a puzzled expression on his face.

But at this time, the uncle just patted Kong Hang on the shoulder: "Young man, I understand you, they don't want to see you, but I understand..."

Zhang Wei understood instantly, and patted Kong Hang's other shoulder: "Who made the three of us unpopular sons-in-law and prospective son-in-law..."

"I understand you too!"

At this moment, Kong Hang, Wang Dayang and Zhang Wei, or the three sons-in-law, felt a sense of sympathy for each other.

Wang Dayang was not favored by the Li family, Zhang Wei was not favored by the Xia family's mother-in-law, and Kong Hang was not favored by the Wang family.

Only the three of them can understand the pain in each other's heart.

A strong friendship in battle was born at this time.

it is more than words……

"I see!"

Kong Hang nodded solemnly, the original boredom in his heart completely disappeared after seeing Wang Dayang and Zhang Wei.

It is a rare blessing in life to meet someone who can understand me!

The three of them entered the courtroom one after another and walked to their respective seats.

Wang Dayang is the hearing seat, while Kong Hang and Zhang Wei are the defendant seats.

The prosecution also entered the arena afterward. Fang Wenbin still led the newcomer's female follower, who took the seat of the prosecution.

Zhang Wei saw that Fang Wenbin was smiling all the time, and he concluded that the other party must have found clues to convict him.

This is a smile with a winning chance!

Zhang Wei felt a "thump" in his heart, because he had read all the publicity lists and found no key evidence.

If not evidence, then witness testimony!

Wang Fugui, autumn is sweet!

Zhang Wei was extremely afraid of these two names!

Both may testify against the client.

Zhang Wei thinks that the worst plan is that both of them testify against Kong Hang, then it will be difficult for him.

Fortunately, even though Zhang Wei was flustered inside, he remained calm on the surface, at least Kong Hang didn't see anything unusual.

An excellent lawyer must have excellent psychological qualities, so that even if the client panics, you must stabilize the other party with a calm performance.

Thinking of this, Zhang Wei sat down calmly and waited.

At the hearing booth, people arrived one after another.

The new lawyers of Qingmu Law Firm also arrived, and under the leadership of lawyer Zhuo, they started the great cause of "learning".

Seeing this scene, Xiao Baihe on the side began to feel happy.

These newcomers probably haven’t seen Zhang Wei’s trial, so you guys can’t learn from it~

Soon, it was time for the trial.

As the jurors and court guards entered the arena, the judge, dressed in black robes, walked into the courtroom.

"Respected Judge Qi, please enter!"

The old judge is in good spirits today, and his pace is much faster than on Wednesday.

After he sat down in court, he smiled at everyone and said, "Hurry up today, I'm still waiting to go home and play with my grandson..."

The jury seat laughed, and Fang Wenbin laughed too, obviously thinking that Judge Qi's joke was funny.

Li Qinghe didn't say a word, Zhang Wei's expression remained calm, and he didn't imitate Fang Wenbin to echo the old judge.

"Okay, let's start..."

Judge Qi said, pointing to the defense bench, and then explained to the jury: "Today's trial is a bit special. Although it is a trial, there are two defendants. Moreover, the prosecution has no direct evidence to prove that the two are A criminal subject, they are not a legal husband and wife, and cannot be tried together, so you need to make separate judgments for the two defendants, Wang Xi and Kong Hang, do you understand?"

The jurors all nodded subconsciously, obviously some of them understood.

"That's okay, the prosecution will make a statement of the case, and Prosecutor Fang will leave it to you."

"Okay, Judge Qi!"

Fang Wenbin took the lead in court and summoned the first witness.

For criminal cases, the first witness is usually an officer of the Armed Forces Chaco.

The officer, surnamed Zhao, was in charge of investigating the case and was a team leader of the Chengbei District Investigation Section.

"Group Leader Zhao, please describe to us what you saw at the scene."

"Okay." Team Leader Zhao nodded and began to state:

"At 10:30 p.m. last Thursday, we received an emergency notification from the coordination center that a robbery occurred on Fuyu Road in our district, and the store alarm was triggered, so we rushed to the scene. When we arrived at Fugui Jewelry Store at 10:45 At that time, the gangsters had already left, and the scene was in a mess. The shop owner, Wang Fugui, even passed out, suffered a severe blow to his forehead, and his head was bleeding all the time. We immediately rushed him to the hospital for treatment, and started the on-site investigation work at the same time... "

"According to the reality of the surveillance video, the robbery took place in just 11 minutes. During these 11 minutes, the criminals ransacked most of the valuable jewelry in the jewelry store, opened the internal safe, entered the password and took away all the cash inside... ..."

Zhang Wei began to record, and recorded the testimony provided by Wu Xie Chaco in the notebook verbatim.

On the other hand, Li Qinghe just listened quietly, not recording.

However, in the rear hearing booth, newcomer lawyers, including lawyer Zhuo, started to write like Zhang Wei.

Obviously, she asked her subordinates to do things for her again.

In Zhang Wei's record, Team Leader Zhao finally finished his statement, and Fang Wenbin nodded in satisfaction.

"Then Team Leader Zhao, judging from your more than 20 years of criminal investigation experience, is this gangster a temporary idea, or has it been premeditated for a long time?"

"It was obviously premeditated, because their actions were too fast. Whether it was picking jewelry or entering the password of the safe, the actions were almost done in one go without any mistakes. It is difficult for ordinary robbers to do this. I personally More inclined to premeditated crimes, likely to be repeat offenders, or possibly someone who is very familiar with the layout of jewelry stores."

Hearing Team Leader Zhao's speech, the jury looked suspiciously at the two defendants.

An acquaintance commits a crime, who is an acquaintance?

Of course it was Wang Xi, who was a shop assistant, and her boyfriend Kong Hang.

"Auntie?" Zhang Wei whispered, reminding Li Qinghe.

Li Qinghe also looked at Zhang Wei without saying anything.

The former is still thinking in his heart, why are you calling me, didn't you see the witness still making statements?

Zhang Wei was speechless in his heart.

People have said this, and they almost said the sentence "Your client is a prisoner". Why don't you object to the meaning?

Isn't this typical lead witness speculation?

Although team leader Zhao is an old investigator of the martial arts association in Chengbei District, he can act as an expert witness, but you should interrupt at least for a while, can't you interrupt the rhythm of the opposite party?

Li Qinghe was naturally not familiar with Zhang Wei's tricks, so she did not interrupt Team Leader Zhao's speech.

Witness statements continue.

"Leader Zhao, you just mentioned the safe, so I would like to ask the colleagues in the on-site forensic department if they found anything?"

Team leader Zhao thought for a while, and looked at the jury: "The safe has an eight-digit password system. Wang Fugui set the safe to change the password once a week, and the eight-digit password is randomly generated. The criminals opened the safe very quickly. Smooth, I saw through the monitoring records that he only entered the password once and succeeded."

"Oh, as far as I know, the only person who knows the password, besides the shopkeeper Wang Fugui who was attacked, is the one in the dock, right?"

"Based on the evidence we have so far, you are right!"

"Auntie, please object!"

Seeing Fang Wenbin guiding the jurors, Zhang Wei quickly reminded him in a low voice.

"No, the prosecution lawyers are asking and answering their own questions!"

Li Qinghe finally reacted and got up quickly.

"Sorry, I take back what I just said!" Fang Wenbin smiled at Li Qinghe and apologized quickly.

But he was sneering in his heart, your Li Qinghe is really not good enough, if your elder brother Li Qingmu came over, he should have interrupted me at the first question just now.

"Group Leader Zhao, what else does the monitoring record tell us?"

"The surveillance records don't provide much information, because the two robbers were wearing black clothes and gloves, and there were no clues left at the scene. However, we found some information about the two by comparing their bodies."

"Then, the information you have is..."

"The two robbers are a man and a woman. We compared the height of the male robber with the height of the door frame when he broke the door, and confirmed that his height is between 174-178. The female robber knows jewelry very well, because after she entered the counter, she only They moved those precious jewels, but they were indifferent to some worthless jewels, obviously the robbers have a strong purpose and know the jewelry store very well!"

This time, the jurors hardly concealed their doubts about Wang Xi and Kong Hang.

Zhang Wei looked at Kong Hang's records. He is 176 tall, which fully meets the height requirements of a male robber.

And Wang Xi is a female clerk in a jewelry store, so she must know the value of jewelry in her store very well.

In other words, Team Leader Zhao alone almost proved the possibility of Wang Xi and Kong Hang's crimes.

"Thank you, Team Leader Zhao, for your answer, I have no more questions!"

Fang Wenbin smiled confidently, and nodded to Judge Qi, Zhang Wei and Li Qinghe.

Zhang Wei wanted to stand up subconsciously, but Li Qinghe was faster than him.

Zhang Wei had no choice but to leave the buttocks of the chair, but fell back again.

"Witness, you just said that the robbers only took 11 minutes to complete the robbery and injured the store manager Wang Fugui, right?"

"Yes!"

"And you said that the criminal is likely to be a repeat offender, right?"

"Yes!" Team leader Zhao nodded, and added: "But it may also be an acquaintance."

"I would like to ask you, is it possible for ordinary people to complete this robbery within 11 minutes, that is, what you said is that they ransacked all the precious jewels in the store, and then slipped away immediately, so that your investigation department can't even track them down?"

"If the robbers have arranged the escape route in advance, it is entirely possible!"

Hearing Team Leader Zhao's answer, Li Qinghe was not surprised.

She pointed to her niece and said: "My client, Wang Xi, is just an ordinary clerk. She has no criminal record, and she has been traveling in the South Island for the previous week. She only returned to Dongfangdu last Wednesday night. What do you think? Can one person complete this professional robbery crime?"

Team leader Zhao glanced at Wang Xi who was in the dock, but he couldn't make a judgment in his heart.

"Maybe it's possible. If you rehearse several times in advance, the time should be about the same..."

"That is to say, you are not sure whether it is her, and this is all based on your own judgment, without direct evidence?"

"You can say that, but I trust my own judgment."

Seeing that the jury was puzzled by her question, Li Qinghe nodded in satisfaction.

"The defense has no further questions about this witness!"

She said and walked back to her seat.

On the other hand, Zhang Wei opened his mouth, his face extremely depressed.

I am also the defense, I still have some questions!

Auntie, what do you mean, forget me?

And I'm not saying, your question is really not up to standard!
