Crazy, You Call This a Trainee Lawyer

  Chapter 158 The trial begins, Zhang Wei's head-on attack

   That night, Lin House.

   At the dinner table, Zhao Xiaoxiao handed over a USB flash drive.

   "Here, this is the information you want, it's all here!"

   "Thank you, my second daughter, you are really Dad's sweet little padded jacket..."

   "Zhang Wei, go to hell, be careful I stab you to death with chopsticks!"

   After Zhang Wei took over the USB flash drive, he made fun of it.

   This naturally caused the second girl to scold for a while.

   Zhang Wei wanted this effect, and he was full of energy all night.

  After dinner, the two of them went back to their rooms.

   Zhang Wei turned on the computer and started to view the data on the USB flash drive.

  In the eyes of outsiders, he has less than 24 hours to prepare, but it is not.

   "It's 8 pm now, and there are 12 hours before going to work tomorrow. After deducting 6 hours of rest, there are still 6 hours. For me, it is 60 hours. This time should be enough to prepare!"

   Zhang Wei checked the time on his phone and started to prepare the case with all his strength.

  He, Zhang Wei, will never fight an uncertain battle.

  …

   The next day, morning.

   6 hours of sleep is enough to restore Zhang Wei's spirits and supplement the consumption of staying up late last night.

   He closed his eyes and rubbed his forehead to wake himself up quickly.

   stimulated with cold water. After washing up, he packed up the documents in the room and set off directly to the law firm.

   8 o'clock sharp.

   He has arrived at the law firm and walked into the office of the Criminal Division.

   When Zhang Wei arrived, almost all the friends of the criminal team came.

  Lin Yumeng has two dark circles under her eyes, which shows that she didn't sleep well yesterday.

   "Just now, the project department sent a message that the location of the mock court is in the internal studio on the upper floor of the Jincheng Building, where the courtroom has been set up!"

   "So, the stage is ready?"

   Hearing the notice from Lao Tie, Zhang Wei smiled slightly.

   "You still have the heart to joke, this time your opponent is Young Master Lin, and the nature of this case..."

   "Didn't I want to show it, just let the leaders remember me, maybe the big boss is watching too..."

  Zhang Wei made a perfunctory sentence, and then hurriedly approached Tie Ruyun, "Old Tie, have you arrived yet?"

   "It's here, people are waiting in the lounge area downstairs, but don't you need anything to prepare for the court session?"

   "It's not in a hurry, let's go see this "our witness" first!"

   A few minutes later, the reception room on the 25th floor.

   "Oh my God, she's not breathing!"

   "Who will save her, who will save her, come quickly!"

   "My daughter, my lovely daughter, I can't live without you, I..."

   Zhang Wei was holding a mobile phone, and there was a woman crying in tears, her expression was so sad that her face was about to cry.

   After the video finished playing, Zhang Wei took his phone back and looked at the woman in front of him.

  This woman is in her thirties, wearing heavy makeup, and smelling of dust on her body. Because of her age and lack of maintenance, her figure has grown slightly.

   "You want me to play such a woman?" The woman looked at Zhang Wei and asked inexplicably.

   "Yes, I want you to play a sad middle-aged woman who divorced at an early age and recently lost her only daughter. She is helpless and lonely, and the sky will cry when she sees it."

   "Is this requirement too high? I'm just a customs worker, and I'm about to retire..." The woman quickly shook her head.

   She is not a professional actress. Although the nature of her work is somewhat similar to that of an actor, it is all incidental to her main business.

   She is really not an actress!

   "No, eldest sister, I heard that you fell into the dust at the age of 15, and you have been in this industry for 20 years. Whose life experience can be worse than you, aren't you acting in your true colors?"

"That's all a lie. If I don't make myself worse, the men who come to prostitutes will not give more tips. You don't know, young man, people are stingy nowadays, you don't make up good stories. Listen to them, they are not happy to pay!"

   "Since this is the case, then there is no way..."

  Zhang Wei was silent for a moment, then leaned in front of the woman and asked in a low voice, "How much is an hour when you charge the most?"

   "200 bucks."

"200 for 1 hour, right? After we open the court statement later, you will appear in court as the first mock witness. Even if there is a cross-examination, it will only take 10 minutes at most. I will pay you 2,000 yuan for 1 hour and 10 times the price, you see. How?"

   Hearing the price, the woman immediately smiled.

   "Oh my god, young man, I didn't expect you to pay so easily. If my guests were so talkative as you, I would wake up laughing every day from my dreams."

   "Okay, no problem, it's not just playing a middle-aged woman who lost her daughter, leave it to me, and I'll show you what acting is like!"

   Looking at the woman's confident smile, Zhang Wei nodded with satisfaction.

   "Old Tie, take your friend to prepare, and after the court session, follow my instructions!"

"alright……"

  Tie Ruyun was a little speechless about Zhang Wei's arrangement, but he still led the woman upstairs to prepare to go.

  Zhang Wei also returned to the office again and began to prepare materials for the trial.

   The moot court hearing is scheduled for 10:00 am, and the time is passing by in preparation.

  …

   Jincheng Group.

  Interior large studio.

  The space here is not small, it can fully accommodate one and a half basketball courts, and it is more than enough for a moot court.

  The employees of Jincheng Group were already in place and began to arrange the scene of the mooting court.

   This work is actually familiar to them, because Jincheng Law Firm often holds moot courts to conduct simulation exercises for some major cases.

   As a brother from the family, Jincheng Group naturally cooperates with all efforts. In addition to shooting some promotional videos and advertisements, the biggest use of this big studio is to lend it to Jincheng Law Firm.

   "Have you heard that today's moot court is the case of Young Master Lin Yufeng!"

   "Good guy, the son of the second director's family, his opponent is also from our law firm?"

   "I heard from the gossip that he is a newcomer in the criminal department. His name is Zhang He, and I can't remember it, but it is a very common name."

   "Then Shao Lin is determined to win, so what does this newcomer do to fight Shao Lin?"

   "Maybe this newcomer wants to show it off. Shao Lin probably told the newcomer before the trial, asking him to fight well or something?"

   "At first glance, you have never played tennis with the leaders. Although they say they play well, they really don't want to lose to you!"

   "Besides, how could a newcomer win Lin Shao, and let the newcomer go to court, the law firm most likely decided to give Lin Shao a chance to show himself in front of clients!"

   "That is, that is, the result of this time has long been expected, and it is impossible for Lin Shao to lose!"

  The employees of Jincheng Group are also gossiping, and all kinds of news are flying around in the internal group, but they all believe that Lin Yufeng will win!

   Just kidding, what does a newcomer do to fight Lin Yufeng?

   And a newcomer who has been labeled as a must-lose has already taken the elevator and came to the big studio early.

  This place has been set up as a courtroom, with the uppermost trial bench, the lower witness bench, and the side jury bench. There are already seats for both the prosecution and the defense.

  The outermost hearing seat is enough to accommodate 60 or 70 people watching the trial at the same time.

  Dozens of high-definition cameras were arranged throughout the venue, so that customers and VIPs in the backstage studio could clearly see the scene.

   "The scene was set up in a decent manner, this is the next stage?"

   Zhang Wei thought so, looked at the time, it was 10 o'clock.

  As the employees of Jincheng Group left, the staff of the moot court began to enter.

   From the passages in all directions of the hall, dozens of people walked in one after another.

  The one who was crowded in the center was Lin Yufeng, the director of the project department.

   "Lin Shao, I wish you victory!"

   "The first order of the new year is 30 million consulting fees, I can only look up!"

   "The opponent is still a rookie lawyer from the criminal department. I think this battle will be won before it's even fought!"

  Lin Yufeng walked to the dock and sat down, only to see Zhang Wei.

   "Hmph, over your own strength!"

   He snorted coldly, as if the words "I'm going to kill you" were engraved on his face.

   "Master, come on~"

   "Come on Zhang Wei!"

  Fortunately, the little friends of the criminal team also came and cheered him on the hearing stand.

  As people came one after another, there was a sense of crowding throughout the scene.

  Project Department, Litigation Department, plus some Jincheng Group employees, there were quite a lot of people coming this time, and the entire studio was almost overwhelmed.

   Just as everyone held their breath, the moot court finally started.

   The host takes the stage.

"Hello everyone, I'm the head of the media team of Jincheng Group's operation department. I believe many of my colleagues here know me, so I won't waste time introducing myself. Let's leave the stage to the real protagonist of the trial... "

   "Although I say that, every participant in the trial is very important. Now I would like to introduce all the guests who participated in the trial!"

"First of all, he is a very important member of the court, our esteemed judge, and the candidate to serve as a judge in this moot court is the one we are familiar with. He is a senior partner of Jincheng Law Firm, a retired president of the Southern High Court. Judge, Justice Mihaimi!"

   In the corner of the studio, a white-haired old man in a black robe walked slowly to the courtroom and greeted everyone around him with a smile.

   "Retired judge of the High Court and a senior partner in Jincheng Law Firm, the law firm must have a lot of judicial resources!"

   Seeing Judge Mi sitting on the bench, Zhang Wei had a higher opinion on the strength of the law firm.

   "Next, of course, it is an indispensable part of the trial, and it is also the negotiator of the final verdict, our jury."

"By the way, this jury adopts the 12-person criminal court system, and the larger number of participants is also to better understand the jury's opinion, and the jury candidates are from all walks of life, I can guarantee that they will cooperate with this law firm. There is no connection, the background check is completely innocent, and they have all served as jurors at least once, with complete participation in judicial trials, I believe they can definitely make a fair and just verdict in the trial!"

  All 12 jurors were also seated. As the host said, these 12 people are really men, women and children, from all walks of life.

   It is not easy to invite 12 jurors in a short period of time. As for the details of the screening, Zhang Wei does not care.

   As long as you ensure fairness, it doesn’t matter whether you screen or not.

   "Finally, the top priority of this trial is naturally the two sides of the game in the trial. First of all, the lawyer for the plaintiff in this trial, lawyer Zhang Wei and Zhang from the Criminal Division of Jincheng Law Firm!"

  Shh——

   With the introduction of the host, there were many boos at the scene.

   Even the cheers of Lin Yumeng and Li Yueqin in the corner were covered up by the boos.

   "Alright, alright, colleagues from Jincheng, save some face for the newcomers. Maybe it's the first time for them to appear in court. At least they have the courage to face the next opponent. Let's not be too demanding of him!"

   The host quickly rounded up the scene, but he himself didn't care much about Zhang Wei.

"Next, I believe it is much anticipated, let us welcome the lawyer representing the defendant in this trial, also the well-known director of the project department of our Jincheng Law Firm, the junior partner of the law firm, and the most popular employee of Jincheng Group of the year. Representative, lawyer Lin Yufeng—"

  As the host finished the introduction, there were countless cheers and applause from the audience.

   "Come on, Lin Shao!"

   "Smash that kid!"

   "Let newcomers see what a professional lawyer is!"

   "Our Project Department is going to teach the Litigation Department a lesson and give the criminal team a little color!"

   Shouting, cheering, one after another, for a long time...

   "Good guy, I didn't know that I thought this was not the court trial scene, but Lin Yufeng's concert!"

  Zhang Wei shook his head, and he could only complain from his seat.

  Fortunately, after the introduction of the two parties, the trial is finally about to begin.

   "Okay, let's ask both the prosecution and the defense to take their places and present a wonderful court braid to the clients of the studio the day after tomorrow!"

After the host finished speaking, he smiled and signaled to Judge Mi in the trial seat: "Your Majesty, the next court trial will be handed over to you. I will be responsible for asking the jury's opinion during the adjournment of the trial. Please worry more about other matters. !"

   "Haha, leave it to me!"

Judge   Mi nodded, and then knocked on the cone to announce: "This moot court begins, please first ask the plaintiff to make a hearing statement!"

  The audience was silent, and countless eyes swept to the center.

   Just as everyone was watching, Zhang Wei adjusted his suit and walked to the jury.

   "Hello everyone, my name is Zhang Wei. I am the attorney for the plaintiff Feng Xinxue's family in this moot court. Everyone may be surprised. Who is Feng Xinxue, then I will tell you now!"

   He said, took out the projector remote control from his pocket, and pressed the button.

   was arranged on the projection screen behind the witness stand, and a group of photos suddenly appeared.

   In the photo, it is a little girl about 15-16 years old, with a sweet and bright smile.

"This is the deceased Feng Xinxue, her family and friends like to call her 'Xiaoxue', a very nice little girl, you have also seen it, the smile is very sweet, but unfortunately, her friends and family can no longer see this smile arrive."

   "Now, let's focus on the culprit who caused it all!"

   Zhang Wei said, walked back to his place, and took out a bottle of canned drink from his briefcase.

   "This is the culprit that killed Xiaoxue, the sports drink of the super drink company, they call it 'bull', which means that drinking this can will make you as strong as a bull!"

   "Of course, you don't have to meet a bullfighter, that would be bad~"

"Hahaha……"

   Zhang Wei's joke made many people on the jury laugh.

   And there were people laughing in the surrounding hearing booth.

   But they were quickly warned by the eyes of the colleagues next to them, and their smiles immediately disappeared.

   Zhang Wei walked to the jury and raised the can of soda in his hand.

"The next thing I say, please listen, this small can of drink contains more than 200 mg of caffeine, while a cup of black coffee has 80-180 mg of caffeine, and it also contains 500 mg of glucuronolactone , in previous wars, glucuronolactone was used as a nerve stimulant."

   "Maybe you often see it on the supermarket shelves, and you have seen its promotional ads on TV commercials. After listening to my previous explanation, you may wonder, what's the problem with such a small can of beverage?"

   "Since you asked, we might as well ask everyone to take a look at the advertisement of the super drink company and see how they promote this product!"

  Zhang Wei pressed the button of the projector again, and a video started playing.

   "Do you want a more exciting life, a more trendy lifestyle, and more energy to meet..."

The    advertisement looks like a big production, the special effects are directly full, all kinds of explosions and special effects scenes, and even invited a well-known sports star in Long Kingdom to endorse.

   "What does this advertisement tell us? It tells us that the target audience of the product is an adventurous group, which may be children, students, or young people who have just stepped into society. This is the target group of super drinks."

   "Similarly, the victim of this case, Xiaoxue, is also one of the target groups. She died after drinking this small can!"

   "The cause of her death was caffeine poisoning, please think about it, she is only 16 years old and her life has just begun!"

   Zhang Wei said, looking towards the dock.

   "Although I don't know lawyer Lin Yufeng, as the defendant's defense lawyer, I can guess what his routine is, because this defense has a fixed rhetoric."

"He will blame the death on the deceased, the girl we saw on the screen, and he will stand up and accuse this beautiful girl of making a mistake. As for what was wrong, the defense must If I can find a reason, I'm too lazy to guess, anyway, in the end, he will blame this girl for the cause of death!"

   Hearing Zhang Wei's statement, Lin Yufeng in the dock couldn't sit still, tore off the first page of his notebook, and crumpled the paper to vent his anger.

   "How does this guy know my routine!"

   Obviously, Zhang Wei guessed right.

   But Zhang Wei's statement is not over yet.

"Then he will also blame the family of the deceased, especially the parents of the deceased, who has always been the main target of defense lawyers. Although I don't know why a life died, why the defense would justify the victim's family, but I can Tell you his purpose."

   "The reason he did this is very simple, because he only needs to let the girl or one of the family members stand up and take the blame, so you may ignore the real murderer in this case, that is the super drink company behind the defendant!"

   After Zhang Wei finished speaking, Lin Yufeng also tore off the handwriting on the second page.

   His expression was a little angry, and he was about to curse.

   "So, fellow jurors, I have only one request for you, and that is to trust your eyes and not be deceived by some of the defendant's rhetoric."

   "You don't really want to blame a deceased, nor do you want to blame the family of the deceased, that is, the victim of this case, I believe you won't do it!"

   "It should be obvious to everyone who the real murderer in this case is, that is, the super drink company. The products they launched killed Xiaoxue, and they should be held responsible for it!"

Zhang Wei received this, his tone increased, and he raised his arms and shouted: "Please look at the facts, a girl as beautiful as a flower has withered, and the loss of life cannot be undone, but we can save more children. Before the dead, we can hit the super drink company head-on and cut off their claws from reaching other people's children!"

   "Otherwise it's hard to imagine, maybe your child will be the next victim!"

   "Your children, the children of your neighbors, and the children of your relatives are all waiting for you to save them!"

   "This concludes my presentation, thank you all!"

  Zhang Wei bowed his thanks, then walked back to the plaintiff's seat.

  In the dock, Lin Yufeng was silent, but his hands were clenched into fists, and his face was terrifyingly black.

   This kind of start, he has never encountered!

   Zhang Wei this time, but the firepower is full!
