Crazy, You Call This a Trainee Lawyer

It's Monday again.

Today is also the court day for the robbery of Fu Gui Jewelry Store.

Looking at the red lanterns hanging high all over the street, Zhang Wei was filled with emotion.

It's New Year's Eve.

"It's a pity. I live alone every year. How many years have passed?"

Looking at the people on the street who are still going to work for the year-end sprint, Zhang Wei's eyes flashed a vicissitudes far beyond his real age.

Whether it is the previous life or the present, whether it is Zhang Qiansheng or Zhang Wei, they are actually very lonely.

Especially during the Chinese New Year, when the family should be reunited, this loneliness is even more intense.

When Zhang Wei walked out of Lin's residence, he happened to meet Zhao Qingyan who also got up early.

"Xiao Zhang, where are you going early?"

"Go to work, by the way, Uncle Zhao, are you planning to go to work too?"

"Yeah, it's almost the end of the year, and there are a lot of things in the company that I need to deal with. Many people in my development department have gone home early for the New Year, and I have to deal with their work. All in all, it's busy again before the new year. For a while."

"I'm going to court too, but I'm going to the Chengbei District Court. I can't rub your car with Uncle Zhao today."

Zhao Qingyan was surprised when he heard Zhang Wei's words.

It's almost Chinese New Year, and you kid is still taking the case.

Do you want to be so dedicated?

"Is it the jewelry store on Fuyu Road, Chengbei District?"

"Uncle Zhao, how do you know?"

"That's not nonsense. Are the cases you took on ordinary cases? In the recent period, the relatively big cases in the East are the ones in the northern part of the city. By the way, are you representing the couple who are the defendants? "

"Yes, but I only represent one of them, and they were framed by others, and they did not commit a crime themselves."

"So you're going to do justice for them again?"

Zhao Qingyan laughed, walked over and patted Zhang Wei on the shoulder.

"Okay, you kid, fight hard, as long as you do the right thing, then Uncle Zhao will support you unconditionally."

"Thank you, Uncle Zhao, then I'll go there first."

"Go!"

Zhao Qingyan and Zhang Wei separated.

One of the two went to work in the company, and the other went to court in Chengbei District.

Monday, another busy day.

...

Chengbei District Court.

When Zhang Wei arrived early in the morning, many media people had already appeared at the door.

It seems that he and Zhao Qingyan were not the only ones who needed to sprint a wave of performance years ago.

Although the Chinese New Year is approaching, many migrant workers have returned to their hometowns to reunite with their families, but there are still many people who still insist on being on the front line, fighting for their performance or year-end commission.

For those who persist in the front line, Zhang Wei is full of respect.

"That's the defense lawyer, representing the defendant!"

"Quick, the camera is ready, start the interview!"

"Defendant lawyer, may I ask how you feel about the robbery committed by the client you represent?"

"I heard that the two defense lawyers had a quarrel in court. Is it because you both think the other party is lying, or are you dissatisfied with Aoki Law Firm?"

"Lawyer Zhang, the evidence submitted by the prosecution and the questioning by the defense lawyer Li all prove that your client, Kong Hang, is the robber in the jewelry store. May I ask why you want to provide defense for the criminals? It is not good for them to be tried directly. ?"

"Defense lawyer, it is said that you are a new lawyer. Don't you care about whether the client is a criminal in order to increase your reputation? May I ask what your thinking in court today is to put the blame on another defendant Wang Xi, will you let your client get away unscathed?"

"Lawyer Zhang..."

Well, Zhang Wei admitted that the respect in his heart only existed for less than 10 seconds.

"I have nothing to say about these questions!"

Zhang Wei responded, but he didn't expect that these media people wouldn't let him go.

This is not nonsense, they blocked the gate of the court early in the morning, just to find the parties or lawyers to interview.

Otherwise, it's almost Chinese New Year, why do they have to get up so early, isn't it just to get first-hand information that others can't get?

Others are busy celebrating the new year, they are still busy writing the last report before the year, struggling in the front line of interviews, this is the awareness of media people.

One word: volume!

Even after the Chinese New Year, we still have to roll, and everyone rolls, so if you don’t roll yourself, won’t you be behind others?

Zhang Wei was chased and intercepted by the media, and these people didn't even bother to interview him.

The reporter held the microphone, and the cameraman carried the camera. They were walking like flying, and Zhang Wei couldn't get rid of it no matter how hard he tried.

Seeing that there was no other way, Zhang Wei suddenly stopped, and then shouted to the media people around him: "Okay, then I will reveal a piece of news to everyone."

All the media people gathered together.

"I want to say that my client is innocent!"

"cut!"

Hearing Zhang Wei's words, almost all media people sneered.

You are not talking nonsense!

Which defense lawyer does not often say this sentence? They interviewed dozens or hundreds of defense lawyers. The first sentence of the defense lawyers is "my client is wronged" and "my client did not commit a crime." , "The charges against my client are baseless" and the like.

Can I get some fresh ones?

Zhang Wei may have seen the thoughts of this group of media people, and then said the second sentence.

"So, if I find out that before the jury announces the verdict, there are any reports about my client being a robber in your company's media channels, don't blame me for defamation, defamation, infringement of my client's reputation, etc. You guys!"

Boy, is this here to warn us?

If they didn't exaggerate the title of the article, where would the heat come from?

You don't need to be shocked by the title, someone else used it.

You only have hundreds of thousands of views and clicks, and others have tens of thousands or even tens of millions, what should you do?

It can only be said that rolls are mutual, you don’t need others to use them, and there are a lot of people waiting to use them, this is the reality of involution.

"For other things, I have nothing to say, I hope you can take care of yourself!"

After Zhang Wei finished speaking, regardless of the expressions of these media people, he walked quickly into the district court.

Because he saw that the field staff had brought Kong Hang here.

Relying on Zhang Wei to attract the firepower, Kong Hang was not chased and intercepted by too many media people, and soon entered the district court.

Prepare the interior.

"Lawyer Zhang, lawyer Zhuo from Aoki came to me last night and said they wanted me to reconsider who to appoint as a lawyer, and they asked me to replace you."

As soon as they met, Kong Hang made a big news.

Zhang Wei was slightly surprised after hearing this, but immediately thought of the reason.

"Oh, have you considered it?"

"Of course not!"

Kong Hang immediately shook his head: "I don't trust Aoki's lawyer very much, and Xiaoxi's aunt is in Aoki. Her questioning of my ex-girlfriend on Friday also made me understand that her goal is to blame me for all crimes. Do you think I can trust them?"

"That's true. If my guess is correct, they asked you to change lawyers to make you plead guilty quickly!"

"It's impossible. If I insist on pleading not guilty, won't Aoki's lawyer have to go to court for me?"

"Yeah, but what if he asks stupid questions, or behaves badly, and you're convicted by a jury when he goes to court?"

Zhang Wei sneered, he was not surprised by Aoki's reaction.

"But it's against the rules, isn't lawyers always thinking about their clients?"

"You are right, but the current evidence is against you. If you persist in the lawsuit, you may be convicted 100%. And you are also wrong. The lawyer is not thinking about the client, but to help the client. People get the best interest. For you, the best interest is actually to plead guilty, which can save half of the sentence, which is better than if you insist on going to court and end up in prison for 20 years!"

Zhang Wei thought for a while, then patted Kong Hang on the shoulder, and said earnestly: "There is another point, although a lawyer must respect the client's ideas and provide the client with the best service he can provide, but regarding the 'most Good service, but there is no evaluation standard. Maybe he had a bad stomach that day, which caused him to perform abnormally during the trial, or maybe a relative of his died suddenly that day, which caused him to lose his mind. Those are all possible things. Do you understand what I mean?"

"There is such a thing!" Kong Hang heard Zhang Wei's inside story, and suddenly felt that he had walked through the gate of hell.

If he agreed to Aoki's request and changed the entrusted lawyer, wouldn't he be 100% guilty?

"So, Lawyer Zhang, do you think I will be convicted today?" This is also the most relevant question for Kong Hang right now.

"Me~"

Zhang Wei smiled, and patted Kong Hang's shoulder again, "You just sit there and watch the show today, and I'm the one in charge of going to court to 'play output'!"

This sentence, some of the answers are irrelevant, Kong Hang also ignored the meaning for a while.

However, when he saw Zhang Wei's confident smile, his worry and uneasiness also eased a lot.

After the two chatted for a while, the other party also arrived.

The door of the preparation room was pushed open, and the Aoki side headed by Li Qinghe were all present.

The lawyer Li Qinghe, the client Wang Xi, Wang Xi's father Wang Dahai, Li Qinghe's husband Wang Dayang, and the driver Li Feifei.

"Lawyer Zhuo, you come in too!"

Just after they entered the preparation room, Li Qinghe called out to the door, and lawyer Zhuo from Aoki also entered the preparation room.

"Auntie, what is this?" Seeing Lawyer Zhuo, Zhang Wei asked knowingly.

But Li Qinghe pretended not to hear what Zhang Wei said, and lawyer Chao Zhuo winked.

The latter also directly ignored Zhang Wei and walked up to Kong Hang.

"Mr. Kong, I don't know what my proposal was yesterday. If you want to make a decision, please hurry up. We have to submit a written application for changing the defender later!"

"Auntie, you are..."

Zhang Wei was still acting, looking at Li Qinghe and Lawyer Zhuo, with an "extremely surprised" expression.

"I, I choose..."

Kong Hang looked at Lawyer Zhuo, thinking of Zhang Wei's "reminder" just now, he immediately shook his head.

"I choose to trust lawyer Zhang and not change defense lawyers before the trial!"

Lawyer Zhuo's expression darkened slightly when he heard this answer, but there was nothing he could do.

Since Kong Hang made his own decision, they have no right to interfere with others' freedom to choose a lawyer.

"Hmph, since your kid chooses him, there's nothing to say later!"

Li Qinghe snorted coldly, looked at Kong Hang, then glanced at Zhang Wei, with a stern look on his face.

"I will let Lawyer Zhuo be my second lawyer later on, and he will conduct the next court interrogation. You better know that, he is the best person in Aoki who is good at interrogation in court."

After a word of warning, she glanced at Kong Hang, and said in a condescending tone: "If you want to prove your innocence in court later, you will not only have to face Fang Wenbin, but also our lawyer Zhuo. Got it?"

When Kong Hang heard this, his expression was astonished, and he was speechless for a while.

Aren't we all defendants, aren't we all our own people?

Why do our own people make things difficult for our own people?

Fortunately, Zhang Wei put his hand on his shoulder to show his comfort.

"Auntie, you really have a good plan, but you are not afraid that I can produce evidence to prove Kong Hang's innocence?"

"Hmph, what a joke!"

Li Qinghe didn't care about Zhang Wei's "bravery" at all, and even wanted to laugh.

"Who do you think you are? You are a rookie lawyer. You dare to go against the sky after just a few days out of law school? What can you do in a weekend? I guess you are at home for two days, and you are finishing the draft of the closing statement." ?”

Speaking of this, Li Qinghe finally laughed, even a little presumptuously.

She didn't care about Zhang Wei at all.

It's ridiculous for a rookie lawyer to be able to catch the real prisoner in two days on the weekend!

"Anyway, you are Xiao Yueyue's aunt, so can't you save me some face?" Zhang Wei looked at the shy Li Qinghe, a little speechless.

"Face is also given to each other. Since you are so uncooperative, why should I give you face!"

Li Qinghe said, as if he remembered something, "By the way, I was going to let you join us in Qingmu before, but I heard from Lawyer Zhuo that you haven't signed the employment agreement yet, so this matter will be invalidated." , We Aoki do not welcome people like you!"

"Auntie, why do you do this, why can't everyone show some affection to each other?"

"I said, face is given to each other, but you are not qualified!"

Hearing what Li Qinghe said, Zhang Wei shook his head in his heart.

"Okay, since that's the case, then auntie, don't blame me later!"

He said the next ruthless sentence, and directly pointed his eyes at Kong Hang, and the two walked out of the preparation room.

Don't wait for this place!

But before leaving, he asked Wang Dayang who was standing aside, and the latter nodded slightly.

Zhang Wei understood it instantly, and the corner of his mouth raised a slight arc!

He brought Kong Hang directly to the courtroom, and after sitting down in the defense bench, he began to wait for the hearing.

A few minutes later, Li Qinghe also came in with a group of people. She and lawyer Zhuo escorted Wang Xi to the defense bench next to Zhang Wei.

There was no communication between the two sides, only Kong Hang looked at Wang Xi from time to time, and the latter kept his head buried, not daring to respond.

Not long after, Fang Wenbin from the local prosecutor's office arrived.

He looked at the two people on the defense table and snorted coldly.

Because of the two days over the weekend, neither defense nor the prosecution reached a plea deal.

Not only did Kong Hang not plead guilty, even Wang Xi didn't even have the slightest intention of pleading guilty.

Kong Hang's condition is that as long as he pleads guilty, his sentence will be halved.

Wang Xi doesn't even need to go to jail, he just needs to stand up and testify against Kong Hang.

This is a "favorable" condition that people in the industry dare not even think about. He thinks that if he is the defense, he probably agrees without even thinking about it.

But the fact is no, no one agreed!

"I don't know how to flatter you. Since you all rejected my kindness, don't blame me!"

Looking at the people on the defense, Fang Wenbin's face was gloomy.

Because the advantage is still in his hands, and today's trial, he doesn't even need to speak.

As long as the defense and the defense dismantle each other, it will be fine.

Nothing makes the prosecution happier than watching defense lawyers fight in court.

Thinking of this, the corners of his mouth raised slightly again, outlining a gloomy arc.

The advantage is still in our hands, Fang Wenbin!

Another 20 minutes passed, and the court time finally arrived.

"Stand up, Judge Qi enters the arena!"

Following the court guard's announcement, Judge Qi took small steps and walked up to the trial seat step by step.

He glanced around and found that there were quite a few people sitting in the hearing seats. After confirming that there were no missing persons in the jury seats, the prosecution seats, and the defense seats, he tapped the awl and announced:

"Today's trial begins!"

"The prosecution has finished its case statement, and it's the defense's turn to present evidence. Which one of you will come first?"

After Li Qinghe made one or two gestures with his eyes, Lawyer Zhuo immediately stood up.

"Your Honor, I am the client's second attorney, Wang Xi, and today I will conduct court questioning on behalf of one of the defense parties."

He first introduced himself, and then applied: "We will take the lead in summoning witnesses to testify in court!"

Then the door of the court opened wide, and a person who surprised Kong Hang and Zhang Wei appeared.

The person who came was none other than the owner of the trendy bar.

"Witness, what is your identity?"

"I am the owner of Xinchao Bar, my surname is You!"

"Hello Boss You, what is your relationship with the defendant Kong Hang?"

"He's the guy from my bar's resident band, and I'm the guy who hired him!"

...

At the defense table, Kong Hang was puzzled when he saw the bar owner appear.

"Lawyer Zhang, why did they call Boss You here?"

"Hmph, that's not what I expected."

Zhang Wei glanced at the triumphant Li Qinghe next door, and asked Kong Hang, "Let me ask you, where is the place where you met your ex-girlfriend?"

"It's the bar where I work."

"Then you and your ex-girlfriend met in the bar a few times before, right?"

"yes!"

"That's it. They want the bar owner to prove that you and your ex-girlfriend met several times before the robbery. You may be discussing the details of robbing the jewelry store."

"this……"

Hearing Zhang Wei's explanation, Kong Hang was confused.

It can still be like this, this Li Qinghe actually made such a calculation.

Isn't this pushing me out to be a villain?

"That's why, some things really can't be done absolutely, but my aunt, I really don't plan to leave you a way out!"

Looking at Li Qinghe at the next table with a smug expression, Zhang Wei felt emotional.

Now that you've made a start, don't blame me for being ruthless.

After today, I won't be your aunt anymore!
