Crazy, You Call This a Trainee Lawyer

  Chapter 123 Continued interrogation, questioning Team Leader Liu

   Friday, court day.

   This time, Tie Ruyun learned to behave, and instead of driving, he chose to take the subway with Zhang Wei and others.

   No, they rushed to the city court early in the morning.

   However, with them, there were also media people who came to interview.

   "That's the defense lawyer of Jincheng Law Firm!"

   "Hurry up, surround yourself, the first-hand interview is ours!"

   "Lawyer, lawyer, please tell us, for this trial, your defense strategy is..."

   Seeing the media come over, Zhang Wei immediately rushed to the gate of the court with Lin Yumeng and Li Yueqin.

   "Old Tie, you are the team leader, stay and deal with the media!"

   Almost halfway through the rush, Zhang Wei suddenly shouted, and then he rushed forward regardless of Tie Ruyun's expression.

   A few seconds later, Tie Ruyun was surrounded by the media, and the three Zhang Wei had already rushed through the court gate.

   "Fuck, this kid dares to leave me behind to deal with the media, I'm the leader..."

  Tie Ruyun's expression was resentful, and faced with the frantically crowded media, almost all the depression in his heart was expressed on his face.

   He is the leader of the criminal team and Zhang Wei's leader...

   However, his complaints were quickly overwhelmed by the media's "continuous bombardment of questions".

   Court entrance.

  Xiao Baihe and Tan Yingying also arrived just in time.

   "Yingying, why are there so many media there?"

   "I don't know either, Miss Lily."

   "But it's just right, someone helped us attract firepower, let's hurry in!"

   Xiao Baihe didn't know who the unlucky guy who was besieged was, but since the other party helped him attract the media, that's a good thing.

   Anyway, as long as you are not dealing with the media, it doesn’t matter who you are.

   To be honest, she kind of hoped that that person belonged to Zhang Wei, so if they were blocked by the media early in the morning, it was estimated that there would be psychological shadows in the morning.

   "Strange, how can I hope that guy will be affected, can't I, Xiao Baihe, defeat him in an upright manner?"

  Xiao Baihe was a little disdainful of the thought that flashed in his mind just now.

  Who is she, the trump card of the Eastern Metropolitan Prosecution Headquarters, to show timidity in her heart, which is simply unbearable.

   Blame Zhang Wei!

   This case itself is already embarrassing enough, and the opponent is still Zhang Wei, isn't it even more embarrassing for her!

  Why did Zhang Wei take this case and why did she sue the girl?

   It's all Zhang Wei's fault anyway!

  Xiao Baihe turned the annoyance in his heart into anger towards Zhang Wei, and his mood improved a little.

  Anyway, you only need to have a fire focus target.

   Zhang Wei is that goal!

  Tan Yingying watched Xiao Baihe from the side. Originally, she saw Xiao Baihe's complexion and a hint of depression. She wanted to say something to cheer her up.

   But in just a moment, she saw that Xiao Baihe was full of fighting spirit and his morale was high.

  Tan Yingying could only keep the words in her mouth and did not say it.

   "Go, let's go straight to court!"

   "Ah, oh, okay, Miss Lily."

  The two went straight to the court scene.

   When they arrived at the scene, they found that Zhang Wei had already come, but the defendant had not come.

   "Thank you, Xiao Baihe, you made my apprentice less trip!"

  Because the trial had not yet started, Zhang Wei went to the prosecution seat to say hello after he put the documents away.

   Seeing Zhang Wei coming over, Tan Yingying immediately shrank to make way for the person who came.

   "Hey, I just don't want you to miss anything. If you want to defeat you, you have to be upright, and the public evidence is supposed to be provided to the defense. I just let Yingying run away by the way!"

   Xiao Lily's answer is very "official".

   "Well, I hope it works as you wish."

   Zhang Wei joked, then looked at the entrance of the courtroom, the defendant was led down by Bai Ruoyun.

   After dealing with the media, Tie Ruyun walked in while wiping the sweat from his forehead.

  Although it’s not yet March, dealing with the media is a labor-intensive job, and Tie Ruyun just felt a huge pressure.

  Because of casually saying the wrong word, it may be infinitely interpreted by the media.

   He was afraid of being caught and hurt his feet, and every word needs to be thought out carefully, which is not something ordinary people can do.

   "Old Tie, why are you so fake?"

  Zhang Wei came to the hearing box and joked with Tie Ruyun.

   "You kid, you left me alone, you..."

   "I'm going to take the defendant to court, old iron, just sit down on the hearing stand!"

   Zhang Wei, however, ignored Tie Ruyun's "grievance", and after signaling to Grandma Wang who was accompanying him, he took Zhuo Xiaoting straight to the defense table.

   After a while, the scene of the trial became lively.

  The media also swarmed in and squeezed into the not-so-large Central Court.

   The scene was a little congested.

   "The District Inspection Headquarters is here!"

   I don't know who shouted, and the crowd at the door automatically dispersed, allowing Zhao Chunming and others to pass.

The    District Prosecution Headquarters is still full of aura, and every prosecutor exudes an icy aura.

   The courtroom, which had been slightly noisy, also became silent.

   "One by one, just like a professional team, ready to send people off?"

   Seeing Zhao Chunming and others arriving, Zhang Wei made a joke, which caused Zhuo Xiaoting and others on the side to smile slightly.

   The original serious atmosphere was also resolved by Zhang Wei's words.

  Fortunately, Zhao Chunming couldn't hear him, he just sat down with someone quietly, and then glanced at Xiao Baihe.

   It was just this look that put a lot of pressure on the latter.

   This case, Zhao Chunming was watching the whole process.

   After another ten minutes, the judge finally arrived.

   "Stand up!"

  As Judge Wang sat on the court, he scanned the audience.

  The jury is here, the defense is here, and the prosecution is here.

   Zhao Chunming and Guo Wufeng, who supported the prosecution, and Tie Ruyun, Bai Ruoyun, and Grandma Wang who supported the defense were also present at the hearing.

   "Now that everyone is here, let's get started!"

   He waved his hand and announced the start of the trial.

   "Control case statement, please call your first witness."

   "Okay, Judge Wang!"

  Xiao Baihe nodded and said: "The prosecution has summoned the leader of the third group of serious cases of the investigation department, Liu, to testify in court!"

   "It's this one, come for real!"

  Zhang Wei was sitting in his seat, and he was not surprised to hear this witness.

   After all, there are not many witnesses for the prosecution, but this one is a heavyweight.

   After a while, Team Leader Liu sat on the witness stand.

  Although he has a lot of white hair on his forehead, he looks very energetic, and he is still smiling while sitting on the witness stand, very calm.

   After all, he is a veteran operator with more than 30 years of criminal investigation experience, and he has not been to court once or twice. In his eyes, this is probably a small scene.

   "Team Liu, hello."

   "Prosecutor, how are you?"

   "Leader Liu, as one of the main investigators of this case, I would like to ask you to tell everyone about the investigation of this case."

When Xiao Baihe said this, he paused, and after seeing everyone looking at him, he continued: "Because in the eyes of many people, this case doesn't seem to be a big deal, it's just selling some CDs, some books or comics for profit, And the defendant is a girl, and they don't think they need to be so mobilized or even open a criminal court."

   "Actually, this case is not a small case. There is a huge transaction network behind it, and this network has brought extremely bad influence to the Oriental Capital, especially among the youth."

   "As for the case itself, we have already told the media what we were able to disclose, but since you asked that, I can also tell it in court."

   "Please tell the jurors the details of this case!"

  Xiao Baihe looked solemn, and Team Leader Liu also understood what the prosecution meant.

   "Okay, then, this case has to start from the time of the Chinese New Year. During that time, we received reports from many parents that their children..."

   Team leader Liu spoke for more than ten minutes before sorting out the situation of the case.

"According to our current investigation, the main suspects in this case have been identified, but it is impossible for such a large-scale arrest operation to have no rumors beforehand. At this stage, we have arrested nearly 70% of the suspects. , but most of the main suspects are at large. Although our Wushu Association issued a wanted order to hunt down fugitives outside, the harvest is currently... still waiting for feedback..."

   "Thank you, Team Leader Liu, for the explanation, we will stop here about the situation of the case!"

  Xiao Baihe thanked him and pointed to the dock.

   "Everyone may be wondering why we are prosecuting the defendant, what connection does she have with the criminal gang in this case, and whether she also participated in the crime, you must be curious about this, right?"

   "Next, I'm going to ask Team Leader Liu about the defendant's situation."

  Xiao Baihe nodded to Team Leader Liu and began to ask questions: "Leader Liu, when you got a search warrant and conducted a 'legal search' of the defendant's apartment, what did you see and what did you find?"

"After we presented the warrant, we went into the apartment and searched the apartment. I went into the defendant's room and saw her there. And I saw that she hid some stolen items with obscene covers in drawers and wardrobes, and also some stolen money. Put it in a pillowcase."

   "It looks like it was stolen from someone and got it, right?"

   "Yes, the prosecution, you can say that, I won't deny it, because that's what it is!"

   On the witness stand, Xiao Baihe and Team Leader Liu asked and answered questions.

  At the defense table, someone could not sit still.

   "Master, why don't you speak or object?"

  Lin Yumeng was a little puzzled. Zhang Wei liked to interrupt the prosecution's speech before, why did he keep silent now?

   "Little apprentice, interrupting also depends on the occasion. You didn't watch the jury listen intently. If you interrupted them at this time, wouldn't it annoy the jurors?"

  Lin Yumeng followed Zhang Wei's statement, looked at the jury, and saw a group of people listening to the story attentively.

"You have to know that the purpose of the trial is to get the jurors, you can offend the judge, but you must not offend the jurors, you have to follow their wishes, you have to coax them, you have to treat them like your first love, you know ?"

   "I don't understand, I've never been in love..."

   The little apprentice was stunned, this was a difficult point, and she was considering whether to write it down.

   Zhang Wei glanced at his little apprentice in surprise, the cute girl has never been in love?

   He shook his head and dispelled the question. Now he needs to focus on the trial scene.

   "Captain Liu, when you entered the room, where did you see that pillowcase?"

   "Pillowcase on defendant's hand."

   "What about the stolen money?"

   "Part in the pillowcase and part in her hand!"

   "So was there anyone else in the room at the time?"

   "No, she was the only one in the room. When we entered the apartment, there were the defendant and her grandma, who was the one on the hearing bench, but there was only one defendant in the room, and her grandma was sitting on the sofa in the living room."

   Team Leader Liu said, pointing to the hearing booth.

  The jurors were also attracted to see Grandma Wang sitting with Bai Ruoyun, who remained serious.

   "Thank you for your answer, Team Leader Liu, I'm done with my questions!"

  Xiao Baihe thanked again and walked back to the prosecution seat.

   Zhang Wei got up and walked to the witness stand.

   "Leader Liu, did she say anything to you when you were about to arrest my defendant?"

   "Objection, hearsay evidence!" Xiao Baihe didn't even sit down and directly objected.

   "The objection is invalid, because during the arrest, Team Leader Liu acted with the team members. You can't verify whether the team members outside also heard the defendant's words."

   Judge Wang was slightly taken aback, because this objection to invalidity was not made by himself, but by Zhang Wei.

   "Thank you, Zhang~law~shi!"

   Judge Wang glared at Zhang Wei, but said to Xiao Baihe: "The objection is invalid!"

  Zhang Wei walked to the witness stand and said again: "Leader Liu, please answer my question, did my client say anything!"

   Team Leader Liu glanced at Zhang Wei in surprise, but he didn't expect this kid to overwhelm Xiao Baihe with the first question.

   But there was no problem with him. He recalled: "She said that these things belonged to her brother. When she heard that we came in to arrest her brother, she wanted to hide these things."

   "Did she tell you a reason to hide these things?"

   "I remember she said that she was for her brother, for her grandma."

   Zhang Wei narrowed his eyes and pointed at the defendant, "Leader Liu, do you believe her?"

   "To be honest, I really want to trust her, but the investigation of our major crime team focuses on evidence, and I saw a person hiding stolen goods!"

   "That means, you don't trust my client anymore?"

   "Yes, I don't believe it!"

   Seeing Team Leader Liu nodding, Zhang Wei continued to ask questions without pausing.

   "Excuse me, what is the target of your search warrant?"

   "The criminal gang in this case!"

   "Then this criminal gang, I don't think there should be my client's name in it?"

   "That's not true, but it has the name of her brother Zhuo Dawu!"

   "I know this, and I believe the jurors also know it, but Zhuo Dawu is not my client, Zhuo Xiaoting, and they know this too!"

   Zhang Wei said, not giving Team Leader Liu a chance to answer, and speeding up his speech:

   "Have you met my client Zhuo Xiaoting before?"

   "I don't think so."

   "Then do you know anything about her?"

   "Neither, I don't know her."

"Understood!"

   Zhang Wei nodded, and then asked: "Then I think, you have no reason to think she is a dishonest person, right?"

   "What do you mean by that question?"

   Team leader Liu was stunned by Zhang Wei's question. Does this question make sense?

   "This is a simple question. Team Leader Liu asks you to answer. When you meet someone you don't know, do you acquiesce that the other person is a dishonest person?"

   "I thought, I wouldn't do it."

   "Then like I said, you saw my client Zhuo Xiaoting for the first time on the day of the search, but you think she was lying?"

"This……"

   Team Leader Liu fell into a brief silence. He didn't expect Zhang Wei's repeated questions to have such a purpose.

"Leader Liu, it shouldn't be difficult for you to answer this question. My client told you that none of these stolen goods belonged to him, and that the stolen money was also his brother's. She did this just to protect her family, but you still arrested her. It's gone!"

   "I think, yes!"

   In the face of Zhang Wei's pressing question, there was a slight hesitation in Liu's answer.

   "Leader Liu, I think you have more than 30 years of experience in detective work, and you should have arrested a lot of criminals, right?"

"Of course!"

   "Then when these criminals are arrested by you, they all have a set of arguments. They will all say that they are innocent. Even if the stolen goods are in front of them, they will make some kind of sophistry, right?"

   "Yes, they always have excuses, and only you can't think of them, and there's nothing they can't tell!"

   "Objection!" After seeing the two asking questions for a long time, Xiao Baihe finally couldn't help it.

   "Judge Wang, do these questions have anything to do with this case?"

"Judge Wang, I think these questions are very necessary, because according to the actual arrest situation, the witness judges the integrity of my client based on his past experience in handling cases, so as the defendant's attorney, I have The right to ask questions about this behavior!"

   Judge Wang glanced at Xiao Baihe, and finally nodded: "Lawyer Zhang is right, and the objection is invalid!"

  The judge said so, Xiao Baihe could only sit down helplessly.

   "Leader Liu, do you have any objection to the reason I objected just now?"

   "No!" Team Leader Liu shook his head.

   "That means, you chose not to believe my client's explanation, right?"

"You're right."

   "Then let's make an assumption, as far as I know you have two sons?"

   "Every acquaintance knows this. My eldest son is 26, and the younger son is about to graduate from college and is going to look for a job."

   "Well, if one day, you walk into the eldest son's room and see that the eldest son is hiding obscene objects under his bed, or hiding a **** knife, or hiding a gun..."

"be opposed to!"

  Xiao Lily raised an objection again.

   "Objection is invalid!" Judge Wang responded mechanically, and then his eyes signaled Zhang Wei to continue the question.

Zhang Wei continued to ask: "At that time, your son was hiding a very dangerous thing, and you could see that his son looked flustered. He explained to you that the obscene items belonged to a friend, and the knife was stained with blood just after killing a pig. The gun is a toy model gun. Now there is no evidence that your son is lying, would you doubt him?"

   "Like a possible outcome, would you think your son bought obscene items himself, or that he wounded or even killed someone, and that he was hiding a dangerous weapon at home?"

   "This..." Team Leader Liu was stopped by Zhang Wei's question.

   After thinking for a long time, he replied:

   "Maybe, I will believe him..."

   "Thank you for your honest answer, Team Leader Liu!"

   Hearing this answer, Zhang Wei smiled.

   But his question is not over yet!
