Crazy, You Call This a Trainee Lawyer

   Chapter 122 What animals do you like?

   Oriental Capital, City Court.

   Someone in the parking lot outside the courthouse struggled to find a space.

  Tie Ruyun hurriedly got out of the car, carrying a briefcase in his hand, and rushed towards the court in a hurry.

   "I wouldn't drive if I knew it earlier, why is there such a traffic jam!"

  Although he has a deep understanding of the traffic in the Eastern Capital.

   But he didn't expect that the short ten-minute journey would block him for so long.

   When Tie Ruyun found the trial scene and came to the hearing stand, the pre-trial had already begun.

   Fortunately, Bai Ruoyun reserved a seat for him, and fortunately today is just a pre-trial, not the real court day, and the courtroom is not yet full.

   When Tie Ruyun sat down, he let out a long breath.

   "Director Bai, what's the situation now?"

   he asked hastily.

   "The pre-trial has just started. Both the prosecution and the defense have stated their claims for the trial, and the candidate jurors have also entered the venue. Next, Xiao Zhang should go up to ask questions and screen the jurors, right?"

   Although Bai Ruoyun is involved in the juvenile court, he is also clear about the process of the criminal court.

  Zhang Wei is about to go up and ask questions.

   "Oh, that's good, it's not too late..."

  Tie Ruyun patted his chest, took out the thermos cup from his briefcase, and prepared to drink water.

   I was in a hurry just now, don't tell me, I'm really thirsty.

   Just as Tie Ruyun was drinking water, Zhang Wei also began to ask questions.

   "Hello, jurors, I am the defense attorney representing the defendant Zhuo Xiaoting. Now I need to ask you a question, I hope you can answer me honestly."

   "Cough, I want to ask, did you watch some 'paid content', something that is easy to get 404, when you were teenagers, or as adults?"

  Poof——

   In the hearing box, Tie Ruyun spat out unexpectedly.

   "Cough, this kid, what is the question, can this question be asked in the pre-trial?"

   In the trial seat, Judge Wang was taking notes with his head down, but when he heard Zhang Wei's question, he raised his head subconsciously.

   He looked left and right to make sure that no one was looking at him, and then he looked at the position in front of the jury.

   After seeing Zhang Wei raising a question, he looked at the jury with a smile.

  The jurors looked at each other, and some of the male jurors who were not young also avoided their eyes.

   This question is really difficult to ask~

   Zhang Wei walked up to a female juror and asked with a smile, "Sister, why do you have a sullen face when you hear my question?"

   "Hmph, your question is too vulgar!" The female juror replied in disgust.

   "Oh, vulgar?"

   Zhang Wei picked up the juror's intention form and quickly found the woman's information.

   "Key middle school Chinese teacher, part-time head teacher, candidate for outstanding head teacher for three consecutive years..."

   Scanning the information quickly, Zhang Wei knew it.

   "Judge Wang, the defense appreciates the witness's answer and asks the witness to leave!"

   Judge Wang nodded and gestured at the witness, who stood up and left the seat.

   Zhang Wei's gaze then swept to the rest of the jurors.

   Seeing his eyes, most of the male jurors averted their eyes and did not dare to look at Zhang Wei.

   There were also a few female jurors, who had embarrassed expressions on their faces, and had a similar reaction.

   "The question just now, let's not worry about it, I'm going to ask the second question next, everyone please listen!"

   Hearing Zhang Wei say this, the jurors breathed a sigh of relief.

   They are afraid that Zhang Wei will point to them, and then they have to answer the question about "Have I seen 404 content?" How embarrassing is that?

   while on the hearing stand.

  Because of Zhang Wei's actions, some people were also stunned.

   "It's strange, Xiao Zhang's question is very good, why doesn't he continue to ask?"

   Bai Ruoyun looked at Zhang Wei, but asked Tie Ruyun beside him.

   She also saw that Zhang Wei's first question was actually very purposeful and targeted. Not only did he screen out a conservative juror, but he also found out the tolerance of other jurors for obscene information.

   If it was her, she would definitely continue to ask this question and eliminate all those jurors with relatively conservative thinking.

   "Maybe this kid has his own plans. After all, the defense has only 6 chances to remove jurors. That kid doesn't plan to rely on one question to screen jurors."

   Tie Ruyun explained, but he didn't believe it.

   He and Bai Ruoyun have the same idea, this question is very targeted, and it is completely possible to screen a few more jurors.

   You only filtered out one person, it's just...

   Suicide!

   Not only they thought so, but even Zhao Chunming and others on the other side thought so too.

"Zhang Wei's first court trial question did not exceed our expectations. The conviction of this trial is the crime of disseminating pornographic materials for profit, and letting jurors accept stolen goods is a method that many defense lawyers will use, but this kid is not. Only one juror was screened out, and some of this great opportunity was wasted!"

   "Yeah, if I were to come, I would definitely screen out at least three or four jurors! It looks like this kid is out of his depth!"

   Zhao Chunming and Guo Wufeng were also whispering and discussing in a low voice.

   Even Xiao Baihe and Tan Yingying in the prosecution seat were the same.

   "Why is today's question so normal?"

  Xiao Baihe looked at the person who asked the question, but felt something was wrong.

   Zhang Wei's previous court trial, she had watched several sessions, isn't this kid always "imaginative" every time he asks questions, why is there no creativity in today's questions?

   "Sister Lily, I think it's normal?"

   Tan Yingying replied in a low voice.

   "It's normal to have problems!" Xiao Baihe frowned.

   She secretly thought to herself, could it be that Zhang Wei feels that he must be conservative today, but if you really want to be conservative, the question just now can completely filter out a few more jurors.

   Only one person is selected, what is the plan?

   All in all, the professionals in the court began to guess what Zhang Wei was planning.

   "Looking at the expressions of these people, I know what they are guessing. Wouldn't I really think that I want to rely on the first question and start screening jurors?"

   "The first question, I don't actually plan to screen the jurors. Just the woman's expression was too serious. I'm sorry if I don't screen her out."

   "Originally, for the first question, I only intended to instill a thought into the jury. Since everyone has accepted the '404 content', they will naturally understand my defendant, that's all."

   At this moment, Zhang Wei glanced at the audience, but his heart was already beginning to force.

  If I can be seen by your group of people, isn’t my level regressing?

   The real questioning starts now!

   "Cough, jurors, please listen to the second question, have you all watched the show "Animal World"?"

  The jurors looked at each other, some nodded unconsciously.

   This program is a column about animals, a documentary film, which has been broadcast on many popular science channels.

   A lot of people have seen it when they were children, and the jury is no exception.

"Well, since everyone has seen it more or less, I would like to ask what animal do you like? Is it a wolf who is good at teamwork, or a meerkat with a strong social nature, or a lion, the king of the grassland, and the overlord of the jungle. Tiger, primate ancestor monkey?"

  Zhang Wei immediately threw a series of questions, again confusing.

   "Ah, this..."

   In the hearing box, Tie Ruyun was really dumbfounded.

  Good boy, today is the pre-trial, you actually chatted with the jurors about "Animal World", what is your purpose?

   Don't you want to win the lawsuit?

Bai Ruoyun on the side of    was also stunned, this topic would not even come up in a juvenile court, let alone a criminal court.

  Talking about animals is the first topic they initiate in order to talk to the client.

   This is because their clients are all teenagers, and it is difficult to have a common topic, so they will talk about this.

   Now you are all adults, and you are still jurors, is this appropriate?

   "Director Bai, it's not the first time I've participated in this kid's trial, but this is the first time I've watched him screen jurors. I really didn't know he would waste such a chance!"

  Tie Ruyun hurriedly explained that if this made Bai Ruoyun angry and blamed himself, he would not be able to eat and walk away.

   On the other hand, the people at the headquarters of the District Prosecutors looked strange.

"it is as expected!"

   Zhao Chunming secretly said in his heart, but his brows were tightly wrinkled.

   He guessed right, and Zhang Wei raised a question with no purpose.

   He couldn't understand, why did the master make them unable to guess this kid's question?

   He didn't even bother to discuss it with Guo Wufeng next to him, who must also be confused.

   In fact, he really guessed right. After Zhang Wei asked, Guo Wufeng was really confused.

  This kid is playing, really, the courtroom is a place for chatting, and he also discusses animals?

  Why don't you discuss what you have eaten today and where are you going to travel during the holidays?

   At the prosecution table, his face was also stunned.

   "Yingying, can you guess the intention of this guy's question?"

   "Sister Lily, you can't guess it, why do you expect me to guess it?"

   Facing Xiao Baihe's question, Tan Yingying lay down directly.

  Xiao Baihe felt helpless, Tan Yingying couldn't live up to her expectations, and she couldn't do anything about it.

   But she was still thinking about what her intentions were when talking about animals.

   "Hey, can't you guess this time?"

   Zhang Wei once again had a panoramic view of everyone's expressions, and this was his real question.

   "Sir, what kind of animals do you like? Do you like the ones I mentioned just now?"

   "Yes, I like lions, the king of beasts, the overlord of the grasslands!"

   Hearing this man's answer, Zhang Wei smiled slightly: "But do you know that male lions generally don't hunt, and female lions find food for male lions."

   "This, I really don't know..."

   Seeing the man sit down with a complicated face, Zhang Wei directly did not give him a chance.

   "Judge Wang, the defense thanked the juror for his answer and asked him to leave!"

   Then, the question continued.

   "Ma'am, I noticed that you are wearing a wedding ring, but I still want to ask the question just now, what animal do you like?"

   "Of course I like meerkat, because their ethnic group is very social. I took my children to watch several programs about meerkat."

   "Well, thanks for your answer!"

   Zhang Wei smiled and nodded, then looked at the judge.

   "Judge Wang, the defense accepts this juror."

   Then, Zhang Wei walked towards the rest of the jurors.

   "I like tigers, strong enough!"

   "I like wolves, wolf culture has always been the style of my company!"

   "I love whales, they are big, powerful, and beautiful!"

"I like……"

   Following Zhang Wei's question, the jurors also answered quickly, because this question does not involve the content of 404, there is nothing to hide, and the jurors answered very positively.

   Zhang Wei eliminated some jurors who liked lions, tigers and other animals according to the answer

   Most of the jurors he eliminated liked solitary animals, and he also kept jurors who liked herd animals.

   "Very good, the jury has confirmed, let me check the time..."

   Judge Wang turned to the schedule, and then knocked on the cone and announced: "Today is Wednesday, and the trial is tentatively scheduled for Friday!"

   The pre-trial is over, adjourn!

  With the dissolution of the court, Zhang Wei also returned to the defense seat.

   "Master, your question just now, why is it all in the animal world?"

   "Little apprentice, you haven't reached your level yet for these questions. However, do you really want to know?"

   Zhang Wei made a perfunctory sentence, but after seeing Lin Yumeng staring at him, he immediately changed his tone.

   "Think, think..."

   "That's fine, actually..."

Zhang Wei hooked his fingers and explained to Lin Yumeng and Li Yueqin, who also came over: "If you like group animals, it means that jurors pay more attention to family, and those who like solo travelers are more self-conscious. You still remember me. Do you have any ideas for court braids?"

  Lin Yumeng thought about it and replied, "Oh, I remember family."

   "Yes, that's it."

   Zhang Wei spread his hands, which was the purpose of his question.

   "Zhang Wei!"

   As Zhang Wei finished explaining, Xiao Baihe from the prosecution came over.

   "Friday's trial, I won't show mercy!"

   "That's good, it just so happens that I haven't played against the local prosecutor's headquarters for a long time. The opponent is still the ace prosecutor, Hanhan's good friend, I can't ask for it!"

   "Huh, you're so cocky now, let's see how you cry after our statement is held in court on Friday!"

  Xiao Baihe snorted coldly and left the scene with Tan Yingying.

   "Let's go too!"

  Zhang Wei motioned for his little apprentice to take Zhuo Xiaoting and join Bai Ruoyun and Tie Ruyun.

  The court day is on Friday, which can be said to be a very bad arrangement, and they will have to discuss the countermeasures carefully.

  …

   Jincheng Law Firm.

   Criminal Division Office.

   Zhang Wei began to arrange tasks.

   "Xiaomeng, you and Xiaoli go to get the publicity evidence, and paste them on the writing board tomorrow."

   "Okay, Master!"

   Li Yueqin and Lin Yumeng received the order and hurriedly coordinated Chaco.

   Zhang Wei walked to the writing pad and started writing.

   "There is no so-called time of the incident in this case, and there is no truth hidden in the performance, so there is no need to investigate the scene."

   "The stolen goods and stolen money have been collected on the spot, and I will not doubt the strength of the investigation department's search, so we can only start looking at the tricks based on the existing clues."

   He said, picked up the list of witnesses that had been pasted on the clipboard, and looked at it carefully.

   "The person in charge of this search operation is Captain Liu of the 3rd Major Crime Unit!"

   Seeing the first witness, Zhang Wei frowned, "I remember that he was the direct supervisor of He Zong, but I remember that He Zong had already been transferred out."

   "Old Tie, you are also an old senior of our criminal team. How much do you know about this Captain Liu?"

   "Now you know I'm a senior?"

   Seeing Zhang Wei asking himself, Tie Ruyun replied angrily, but still answered honestly:

   "Captain Liu is incredible. He is experienced and calm in his work. He won't lose patience because of some small problems. You can take advantage of it!"

   "For such a veteran operator who has no weaknesses, do you have any questions to ask?"

   Tie Ruyun said, looking at Zhang Wei.

   To be honest, he has seen the question of this kid and the closing statement of the other party, and he has to say that they are all wonderful.

   But the specifications of that court trial were incomparable to today's. What was that court trial, what could it be about defending an exhibitionist?

   And the person you want to question this time is an operator with more than 30 years of criminal investigation experience, and the other party may have more interrogation skills than you.

  Zhang Wei thought for a while, "I'm going to ask a gentle question, let's explore his bottom line?"

   "A gentle question?" Tie Ruyun was a little puzzled.

"Although I know that interrogating a well-reputed operator will have a bad influence on the jury, if you only ask basic questions, you will not be able to get enough support for the client, let alone get acquitted. Judgment!"

"Old Tie, I'm asking gentle questions just to find out the other side's bottom line. If Captain Liu really has no weaknesses and is unbreakable, then I naturally won't ask more, but if he has weaknesses, don't blame me! "

"What are you going to do?"

   "The trial question, what else can I do? If the enemy's witnesses are found weak by me, then I will naturally..."

   Zhang Wei said this, paused for a while, and then changed his words: "...Ask to the death!"

   "You can pull it down, don't let yourself fall into it, Captain Liu has more than 30 years of experience, can't he still hold you back?"

   "Old Tie, you are so unconfident in me that you think I can't handle a veteran operator in court?"

   "Yes, you can't handle it."

  Tie Ruyun is very disrespectful, so he doesn't like Zhang Wei directly.

   "Oh, you are still my leader, it seems that our friendship has come to an end..."

   "You kid, when did you take me as a leader?"

   Zhang Wei's words made Tie Ruyun angry and laughing. This kid slapped his nose every time, how could he have the majesty of a leader.

   "Master, we're back~"

   At the door of the office, Lin Yumeng and Li Yueqin came back.

"So fast?"

   Zhang Wei was a little surprised, the two of you are going back and forth a little faster.

   "No, it was the District Prosecution Headquarters who sent all these public evidences here. The prosecutor Tan Yingying at the door also told us to hand over all these evidences to you, Master!"

   "The document that Tan Yingying came to send seems to be what Xiao Baihe meant."

   Hearing what the little apprentice said, Zhang Wei seemed to think of something.

  Tan Yingying definitely didn't dare to come to see her, so the other party must have received an order from Xiao Baihe when she came to Jincheng.

   Xiao Baihe, what are your thoughts on this case?
