Crazy, You Call This a Trainee Lawyer

Aoki Law Firm.

Li Qingmu came to his office early in the morning, holding a tablet computer, watching it intently.

Continuous text flashed on the computer screen, which was the live broadcast of today's trial.

The court is an important judicial place. Without permission and authorization, trial participants are not allowed to record, videotape, take pictures of the trial activities, or use mobile communication tools to spread the trial activities.

So what he watched was the official text live broadcast. Although there was no picture, some details of the court trial could be controlled.

"The owner of the bar has come up. Although the testimony he can provide is rather vague, I sent lawyer Zhuo to the court, thinking that the interrogation method should be able to impress the jurors with the notion that Kong Hang conspired with his ex-girlfriend to rob!"

Although Li Qingmu didn't come to the scene, he was sitting in his office and strategizing.

He also likes this feeling very much, just like the ancient military adviser, although he is in the camp, he can decide the trend of the battle thousands of miles away.

The trial is the battleground for lawyers, and he, Li Qingmu, will decide the outcome of this trial.

Strategize and win thousands of miles, you are talking about yourself!

Their Qingmu law firm must not lose in the last battle approaching the end of the year, it is a matter of face!

And once he wins this important lawsuit from years ago, it will be a perfect publicity for his lawyer Aoki.

This case is their Qingmu law firm's annual closing battle!

Once they win, Qingmu Law Firm will be well-known in Chengbei District, and then join the first echelon of Chengbei District law firms.

Li Qingmu is confident that with the help of this trial, the size of the law firm will be doubled in the first year.

At that time, Aoki Law Firm will be a business card of Chengbei District, and three years later, Aoki Law Firm will definitely be able to rank among the big law firms.

Five years later, he could even covet the status of the Top Ten Banks.

Great plans and great achievements are just around the corner!

Li Qingmu thought of this, and called his assistant.

"Contact the editor-in-chief of the Chengbei Evening News. I want our Aoki's name to be on the headlines of the Evening News after today's trial results come out!"

"Okay, Lawyer Li!"

The assistant started to work, and Li Qingmu once again focused on the tablet computer in his hand.

"Sister, you and Lawyer Zhuo don't let me down, Fang Wenbin can't ride on my head yet!"

"As for that Zhang Wei, it should be a coincidence of the same name and surname. After all, this name is so common. There are too many people named Zhang Wei in the East..."

...

Chengbei District Court.

The scene of the trial.

The first witness for the defense is Boss You of the Trendy Bar.

Now Aoki's lawyer Zhuo is questioning him.

"Ahang joined our bar about 3 months ago. I took the initiative to find him and the people in the band, and invited them to be the resident band of the trendy bar."

"Boss You, may the defendant perform at your bar every day?"

"That's not necessary. The band only needs to come four days a week. Our bar focuses on new concepts, not a mandatory seven-day working system. There are other programs in the remaining three days."

"That is to say, Kong Hang's time is relatively loose, so the salary you give should be less than that of other surrounding entertainment industries. After all, he only needs to work four days a week."

The bar owner thought for a while and nodded: "Of course, but because of the schedule, I pay everyone in the band about 20% more salary than other owners on the same street. This is also to prevent them from poaching."

"Hmm." Lawyer Zhuo nodded, "But this salary is actually too small, and it can only support Kong Hang's life alone, right?"

"I'm not sure about this, but Kong Hang alone is definitely enough. I also reserved a lounge for them on the second floor of the bar. If they have no place to live, they can also live upstairs."

"But Kong Hang has a girlfriend, and the cost has changed from one person to two people. There are more places to spend money. The band's salary should not be enough!"

"be opposed to!"

Lawyer Zhuo's question was met with objections from Zhang Wei.

"Lawyer Zhang, do you want to oppose your own lawyer?"

"good!"

Judge Qi in the trial seat took a look at Zhang Wei, this time he was not surprised.

"reason?"

"I think the question asked by Lawyer Zhuo is somewhat insulting. My client insists on performing in bars for his music dream. Although he receives a meager salary, the income of this job is probably less than that of Lawyer Zhuo. One zero or two zeros, but for his dream of music, this persistence should not be measured by money!"

Zhang Wei said, pointing to himself: "And me, although I am a public defender, I am currently taking public interest cases and do not charge any legal fees, but no one can question my love for the law. This sincere feeling should not be measured by money and interests!"

Judge Qi glanced at the jury, and Zhang Wei's words really touched many people.

"You're right, objections work!"

He couldn't help but nodded in agreement.

Then Judge Qi looked at Lawyer Zhuo and warned, "You'd better change the focus of your question. I don't want to hear that you continue to inquire about the defendant's salary."

"Sorry, it's my fault!" Lawyer Zhuo quickly admitted his mistake, and looked at Zhang Wei with a hint of unkindness.

Few people dare to interrupt him like this, especially the other party is a public defender who has only taken a few cases and is a newcomer.

However, he quickly suppressed Zhang Wei's influence and continued to look at the witness.

"In this case, let me skip the previous questions. I would like to ask the witness, did you see the defendant Kong Hang have any contact with the previous witness Qiu Tiantian?"

"Yes, in my bar, Ah Hang and Qiu Tiantian met." Naturally, the boss would not deny it, and nodded in response.

"When did they start contacting?"

The boss thought for a while, "About a month ago, anyway, they meet almost every week."

"Even if Kong Hang broke up with his ex-girlfriend and started dating his current girlfriend, will he still meet?"

"Yes, they met anyway, and at my bar."

Hearing this answer, the eyes of many women in the jury box changed.

Scumbag!

The eyes they looked at Kong Hang were already naked.

After breaking up with his ex-girlfriend, he found a new girlfriend and ended up still hooking up with his ex-girlfriend.

Before Qiu Tiantian testified, some people might think it was revenge from his ex-girlfriend, but now the bar owner's testimony is ironclad proof.

In the minds of the jury, Kong Hang had already been regarded as a scumbag.

"Lawyer Zhang, don't you object?"

Feeling the gazes from all around him, Kong Hang felt a little uncomfortable, so he hurriedly asked Zhang Wei for help.

"How do you object?"

Zhang Wei spread his hands, "That's the right question. Did you go to meet your ex-girlfriend, and the agreed place was at the bar, and the witness answered all right?"

Opposition needs a reason, the bar owner is telling the truth, you don't have a B number in your heart?

Kong Hang had no choice but to endure the sharp gazes from all directions, and continued to sit.

Lawyer Zhuo's questioning continued.

"So did you hear what they were discussing?"

"I don't know about this, because I won't inquire about other people's privacy, especially Ah Hang has a new girlfriend, and I won't inquire about what he is doing with his ex-girlfriend."

The boss's answer was very generous, which made Kong Hang feel a little more at ease.

"Then is there such a possibility that Kong Hang is discussing with his ex-girlfriend how to rob the jewelry store where his current girlfriend works?"

But the next problem is that Kong Hang can't sit still.

Lawyer Zhuo's question was truly astonishing and directly attracted the attention of the audience.

"Good question!"

On the prosecution table, Fang Wenbin was rarely silent, and even praised the defense lawyer in his heart.

This is the question he also wanted to ask, and it happened to be asked by the other party.

"Objection, leading witnesses to guess, without factual basis, the lawyer is testifying himself!"

Zhang Wei stood up to object, and naturally there were a lot of reasons.

Before the witness told the truth, it was natural, but this time it was different.

"Your Honor, the defense retracts the question just now!"

Lawyer Zhuo quickly expressed his opinion, but at the same time looked at the jury.

After he put forward this conjecture just now, several jurors nodded involuntarily. His goal has been achieved.

What he wants is to point out this matter, point out this possibility!

"We have no more questions about this witness!"

Lawyer Zhuo finished asking questions and returned to the seat next to Li Qinghe.

"The prosecution?" Judge Qi looked at Fang Wenbin.

"Judge Qi, the prosecution has no other questions for the witnesses!"

"It's rare that the prosecution didn't conduct cross-examination." Judge Qi knew it well, but still joked.

"Then Lawyer Zhang, what about you?" Then he looked at Zhang Wei.

"I just have one question for the witnesses."

Zhang Wei walked up to the owner of the bar and asked, "Lawyer Zhuo asked just now, thinking that my client and his ex-girlfriend met for the purpose of colluding. Is there any other possibility? What about the engagement ring, that's why I found my ex-girlfriend?"

"Objection, hearsay evidence, no factual basis, the lawyer is testifying himself!"

Lawyer Zhuo immediately stood up and objected with the same reason as Zhang Wei just now.

Judge Qi looked at Zhang Wei, but Zhang Wei continued to question the witness: "Please tell me, is this possible?"

"It should be..." The bar owner didn't know how to answer, so he could only respond like this.

"Your Excellency, I know what you are going to say, so I will stop asking questions, so I won't cause you any trouble!"

Before the judge could speak, Zhang Wei also hurriedly ended the questioning and returned to the defense stand.

Judge Qi opened his mouth, and finally tapped the awl helplessly: "All right, then witnesses please leave the seat!"

The owner of the bar took a stand, and Lawyer Zhuo stood up again: "Your Honor, the defense requests that our client, Wang Xi, be summoned to testify in court!"

For this step, few people were surprised.

Wang Xi stepped onto the witness stand.

Lawyer Zhuo stood up, ready to ask questions.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Wei turned his head to look at the hearing booth behind him.

His eyes met Wang Dayang in the front row of the hearing seat, and the two eyes met in the air for a moment, then nodded to each other.

Between old comrades-in-arms, only a simple gesture is needed, and each other can understand the meaning.

Wang Dayang's voice-over: Don't worry, I've done everything I need to do and said everything I need to say!

Zhang Wei's gaze skipped over Wang Dayang and turned to the court gate, then he withdrew his gaze and returned to the court.

"Miss Wang Xi, please explain to everyone your relationship with the other defendant!"

"I have been dating Kong Hang for almost half a year, and I am his current girlfriend."

"Then do you know that the defendant Kong Hang and his ex-girlfriend are still meeting?"

"If I hadn't heard it in court, I'd still be in the dark."

Seeing what Wang Xi said, the people in the jury looked at her with sympathy.

Women who are deceived by men are more likely to win sympathy.

"Then Miss Wang, do you know that last Thursday, the day of the robbery, did the defendant go out?"

"I'm not sure, because we just came back from the South Island on Wednesday. After that, we slept all day. When we woke up the next day, it was already past six o'clock in the afternoon. After I ate some bread, I lay down and played for a while. mobile phone, scrolling through web videos, and finally fell asleep again.”

"That is to say, you didn't leave the room all day when the crime happened, but you're not sure if your boyfriend Kong Hang is there?"

"Yes, I didn't find him when I woke up."

"Then why did you tell the investigation team that both you and Kong Hang were at home when the robbery happened?"

After the question, there was a brief silence.

But Lawyer Zhuo knew it well, because he had already conducted several mock interrogations for Wang Xi to ensure that the other party's answers could attract the attention of the jury.

After thinking for a while, Wang Xi lowered his head and said in a weak tone: "Because he is my boyfriend, I have to defend him. And in my heart, I don't believe that he is someone who can make People who do that kind of thing!"

"That is to say, you chose to tell the investigation department what you are not sure about because you are new to the other half?"

"Yes, although I don't know where he went at the time, but he went to the supermarket downstairs to chat with the boss several times before, so I think he also went to the supermarket that day, and the boss just asked us about our trip to the South Island. matter, so..."

"Well, thank you for your answer!"

Lawyer Zhuo smiled slightly at Wang Xi, but glanced at the jury from the corner of his eyes.

He saw that all the female jurors showed sympathy for Wang Xi, and the male jurors also showed understanding eyes.

You're done!

Lawyer Zhuo was very satisfied with the results of the questioning, and now the suspicion of the client Wang Xi was completely removed.

The next step is to prove that Kong Hang has a ghost in his heart, and being suspected of a crime is enough to convict him.

And to do this, you just need to wait for another defense lawyer, Zhang Wei, to let Kong Hang testify in court, and then use the cross-examination to break the other party's testimony!

This time, he could feel that Fang Wenbin, the prosecuting prosecutor, was also inclined to convict Kong Hang!

As a result, Wang Xi was not guilty, and Kong Hang was convicted of robbery!

Fang Wenbin got the prisoner, and Aoki also helped the client obtain an innocence defense, everyone is happy!

This is a surefire one.

"As for the witnesses, we have no other questions!" Attorney Zhuo nodded to the jury box and returned to his seat.

"The prosecution?"

"Judge Qi, the prosecution has no problem!"

Judge Qi is unnecessary, but he has to ask Fang Wenbin, this is the process.

Then he looked at Zhang Wei and said with a smile, "Lawyer Zhang, although I won't take sides in the trial, I have to admit that you are under a lot of pressure now!"

"Thank you, Your Excellency, for your concern, but I don't think I will lose!"

"Okay, young people really have confidence!"

Zhang Wei went to court and began questioning.

"Miss Wang, I don't make any comments on your previous performance. Now it's my turn to ask questions. I hope you can answer me honestly."

Wang Xi raised his head and looked at Zhang Wei.

"Excuse me, have you mentioned the engagement to my client?"

"Yes."

"Did he tell you that he would prepare an engagement ring?"

"He said it, but his job..."

"I know you had doubts about my client's ability to afford a ring, didn't you?"

"Yes."

"Then you know, he doesn't need to buy it because his grandma left him a ring?"

As soon as this remark came out, Wang Xi looked at Kong Hang in surprise.

Obviously, she didn't know about it.

"Actually, my client is not planning to buy a ring, but wants to get the ring back from his ex-girlfriend Qiu Tiantian, and give this ring to you!"

Zhang Wei said, and joked: "Although it is a bit embarrassing to ask for the gift you gave back, it also shows that he is willing to be ashamed for you. Doesn't this mean that he loves you?"

"this……"

Wang Xi didn't expect such a thing to happen here.

"So my client has been contacting his ex-girlfriend without telling you, because he wants to get back the ring, that's all."

"But why didn't he tell me?"

"It's very simple. I'm afraid you might misunderstand. After all, it's hard not to let people's imaginations run wild about things like meeting your ex-girlfriend..."

Zhang Wei said, but there was a change in the tone: "Of course there is also a possibility, he wants to give you a surprise!"

surprise!

These two words touched a certain string in Wang Xi's heart, and she looked at Kong Hang with a hint of enlightenment.

At this moment, she seemed to understand that Kong Hang did not hesitate to go to see his ex-girlfriend and ask for the ring he gave back, but it was for himself.

"I...I don't know...it's actually like this..."

"be opposed to!"

Seeing that Wang Xi's emotions were a little out of control, Lawyer Zhuo stood up.

"Hearsay evidence, no third party can corroborate it!"

Judge Qi showed a trace of helplessness, but still nodded: "Although I don't want to interrupt, the objection is valid!"

"Miss Wang Xi, my client has always cared about you, so please trust him too?"

Zhang Wei nodded towards Wang Xi as he spoke, and then walked back to his place.

"Your Honor, I have no further questions concerning this witness."

Hearing what Zhang Wei said, Lawyer Zhuo and Li Qinghe on the defense bench looked at each other.

The two were worried about something at first, but they finally laughed when they saw that Zhang Wei was "unable to do anything".

Next, just wait for Zhang Wei to summon the last witness to appear in court...

"Your Honor, I know what you're going to ask. We still have one last witness to call!"

Before Judge Qi could speak, Zhang Wei stood up ahead of time.

"Okay, but you have to be careful. The prosecution and the two people around you are already gearing up. Can your defendant bear it?"

"Your Honor seems to have misunderstood. I didn't say that my witness is a party?"

"Ah?" Judge Qi was slightly taken aback when he heard this.

Not only him, but Lawyer Zhuo, Li Qinghe and Fang Wenbin also showed astonished expressions.

If you don't summon Kong Hang, who do you summon?

At this time, the door of the court was pushed open, and a woman pushed the door and entered.

Zhang Wei looked at the woman, nodded slightly, and then announced:

"I would like to introduce to everyone, this is my witness. She is Xiao Baihe, prosecutor of the Serious Crime Division of the District Prosecutor's Headquarters. It is her I want to subpoena, not my client Kong Hang!"

This scene completely exceeded everyone's expectations.
