Crazy, You Call This a Trainee Lawyer

   Chapter 159 Lin Yufeng was suppressed, biased?

  Backstage, studio.

  Because the hall is conducting a mock court trial, this place has become a VIP observation room that can observe the whole scene through the monitoring equipment in the hall.

  Sitting here, you can clearly see every corner of the mooting court through more than a dozen monitoring screens in front of you.

   This is the exclusive location for the top executives of the energy drink company.

   They are the clients, and this mock trial is for them.

  They don’t sit here, so who else can sit here?

   Of course, Lin Yufeng couldn't let customers sit here alone.

   He has to ensure that his eloquent and heroic appearance in court can fall into the eyes of the client, and it is best to be accompanied by a qualified commentary.

   No, the bosses of the project department and the litigation department were with the client at the same time.

   This is also because Lin Yufeng's identity is displayed here, otherwise other people in the project department can ask the boss of the project department to come out in person.

   The boss of the project department, whose surname is Ren, is Ren Xingzhou. He looks slightly younger than Shen Zhengyi, with a big oily back, gold-rimmed glasses, and a shiny red tie on his chest.

   As Zhang Wei finished his opening statement, he hurriedly winked at Shen Zhengyi.

The latter understood and immediately said, "It was the plaintiff's opening statement just now, and I have to say that this newcomer's court braid strength is quite good, and to put forward all the moves that we can expect first, it can be considered as a creation for Lin Shao. A lot of pressure."

   President Zheng of the Super Energy Drink Company nodded, and then whispered to his subordinates behind him.

   Super drink company, this time is also the best place for the elite.

   Not only the executive president, but also the company's legal director, financial director, security director, and operations director were all present.

After    communicated with his subordinates, Mr. Zheng asked: "Will the plaintiff's lawyer ask these questions when they actually go to court?"

   "Oh, that's not necessarily true. It can only be said that some lawyers will raise it during the court session, but most lawyers will not consider it so comprehensively."

   "But didn't you say that the kid is a newcomer?"

"This……"

  Shen Zhengyi and Ren Xingzhou looked at each other, both of them were speechless.

   It stands to reason that the average newcomer cannot make so many statements in court, and can also block the opponent's routine in advance.

   These are all moves that only experienced litigation veterans think of, and this move is used so smoothly that it is really impossible for ordinary people to do it like Zhang Wei.

   So Shen Zhengyi and Ren Xingzhou were actually quite at a loss.

  Because in their cognition, it is absolutely impossible for a newcomer to create any pressure on Lin Yufeng.

  The situation in the court trial obviously refreshed their cognition.

   "Don't worry, Mr. Zheng, Lin Shao will prove to you later the strength of our Jincheng Law Firm!"

  Ren Xingzhou responded quickly, then took out a tissue from his pocket and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

   On-site, on both sides of the hall.

  Because of Zhang Wei's opening statement, the whole scene went quiet.

   Among the people who came to watch the battle this time, there were many people from Jincheng Law Firm, and among them there were also excellent lawyers.

   So as Zhang Wei concluded his court statement, many people were stunned for a moment.

   "Isn't this a newcomer?"

   "The opening statement that blocks the opponent's moves in advance, the newcomer can't be used!"

   "Lin Shao, maybe there is trouble?"

   "Good guy, are you calling a newcomer?"

   does not mention how the surrounding reacts, how to guess.

   Anyway, Lin Yufeng in the court was in a passive state at this moment.

   He tore off the first two pages of the notebook in a row, because what was written on it were exactly the two routines Zhang Wei said.

   Blame the cause of death on the deceased and the family of the deceased.

   As the other party said, as long as someone in the deceased or the deceased's family can bear the blame, then his goal has been achieved.

   But now, this trick is completely useless.

  Lin Yufeng's face looks good!

   "Lawyer Lin, it's your turn!"

   At this moment, Judge Mi in the court seat looked over.

   The plaintiff's opening statement is over, it's your turn to speak.

   "Well, that... I'm very surprised. The accusation against me by the prosecution's lawyer... is completely false. How could I blame such a little girl?"

  Lin Yufeng smiled perfunctorily, as if telling a joke.

   However, his words obviously did not amuse any of the jurors. They looked at Lin Yufeng's expression full of indifference.

  Lin Yufeng's smile froze, and it was difficult for him to ride a tiger.

   On the plaintiff's seat, Zhang Wei watched this scene, and the corners of his mouth curved up slightly.

   "The eldest young master of the Jincheng Law Firm, won't he be at this level?"

   "That's it, that's it..."

  Lin Yufeng walked back to the dock in despair, but he did not let the jury change their opinion of him in the end.

   Obviously, this young master of the Lin family suffered a head-on attack from Zhang Wei!

   On the bench, Judge Mi looked at this scene and shook his head.

   "Lin Shao, is your opponent really a newcomer?"

   He looked at Zhang Wei again with a serious expression.

  Although as a judge, he must be fair, but this is not a real court, and he is also a senior partner invited by the Lin family, so at a critical moment, he must also consider Lin Yufeng.

   But it is not yet that time, all he has to do is to maintain the process of this trial.

   "Plaintiff, please call the first witness!"

   Zhang Wei nodded, got up and announced, "This court calls the first witness, the mother of the deceased Feng Xinxue!"

   As soon as these words came out, everyone in the backstage was surprised.

  Mr. Zheng looked at Shen Zhengyi and Ren Xingzhou, "Is there someone on the plaintiff's side?"

   "No, we haven't received any visitor records in this regard, and it's impossible for the real plaintiff in this case to allow the deceased's mother to come to our company?" Ren Xingzhou shook his head naturally.

Shen Zhengyi thought for a moment and guessed: "It may be an actor hired by Zhang Wei, your company wants us to try to be the most realistic, and spend some money to hire someone to play the plaintiff's witness, which has also appeared in previous mock trials. ."

   "Oh, that's right, the actor invited!" Mr. Zheng nodded, and Fu Er asked the legal director beside him.

   Court.

  The witness walked into the venue under the leadership of Tie Ruyun.

   "Ah, my daughter—"

   "You died so miserably, you were only 16 years old, why did you just leave—"

   "Hey, my daughter, how could you have the heart to leave your mother alone, ah—"

   As soon as the "witness" appeared in court, he began to perform, crying so hard that it was heart-wrenching.

   Although women are not professional actors, they are also proficient in acting on the spot, and their performances at this moment are somewhat sincere.

   But for some court trial veterans, after all, it can be seen that the acting skills of women are not real.

   Even Zhang Wei couldn't stand it, and he kept pressing in his heart: "Sister, don't be so exaggerated, your acting skills are a little exaggerated."

   After the witness's cry subsided slightly, Zhang Wei asked: "Witness, please tell us what is your relationship with the deceased in this case?"

   "She is my own daughter, the daughter I raised with hard work, such a lovely girl, why did she die, ah—"

   With a heart-wrenching scream, the woman cried again.

   Zhang Wei's mouth twitched, he regretted giving 2,000 yuan, this woman's acting skills are worth 500 at most.

   "Thanks for the answer from the witness, now please listen to the second question, may I ask..."

   "My daughter, my little snow, ah—"

  Zhang Wei continued to ask questions, but the woman's answer was a scream like killing a pig, and her voice was sobbing.

   Zhang Wei said that he would never invite this woman to appear in court as a witness again.

   "Okay, my question is over!"

  Many people on the jury looked at the woman with different expressions, but his questioning ended.

   Overall, the effect is not bad, not bad.

   Zhang Wei's purpose of letting women go to court is actually to sell miserably.

   Letting the family members of the deceased go to court to cry is of little use in advancing the case. The only effect is to earn tears and the sympathy of the jury.

   At this point, the role of women is actually brought into play.

   Of course, you have to ignore her poor acting skills.

   "Witness!"

   Finally, it was Lin Yufeng's turn to come to power.

"what--"

   "My lovely daughter Xiaoxue——"

   Just after Lin Yufeng came to power, the woman suddenly screamed loudly as if she had seen the enemy who killed her father.

"This……"

  Lin Yufeng was taken aback by the woman's cry, and the question he had just prepared was interrupted abruptly.

  Zhang Wei looked at this scene, quite funny.

   He hurriedly turned his head to look at the hearing booth, and locked Tie Ruyun's position.

   The two began to make eye contact with the void.

  Zhang Wei: Did you signal it?

  Tie Ruyun: No, it's all her on-the-spot performance.

  Zhang Wei: Got it!

   Well, although this woman's acting skills are not perfect, if there is another moot court next time, it is not impossible to invite her again.

  In the end, Lin Yufeng couldn't find a breakthrough in a woman who was sad.

   Every time he tried to ask a question from a tricky angle, he was interrupted by the woman's "rough" cry.

After    several times, Lin Yufeng was also depressed and even protested in court.

   "Your Honor, what does the witness mean, she..."

   "Your Majesty, my daughter is dead, can't I still cry, have you ever died of a daughter, can you understand my pain, ah—"

   Answering the judge and Lin Yufeng was the woman's cry and another scream.

   Judge Mi had nothing to do with women. Of course, he never killed his daughter, so in the end he could only shake his head at Lin Yufeng.

   The cross-examination of the first witness is over. In Zhang Wei's view, the effect is directly full.

  The woman's exaggerated acting skills really made the jury have some sympathy.

   After all, the jury is not him, and they rarely even have professional vision. Naturally, it is impossible to see that women's acting skills are actually very unprofessional.

   "Does the plaintiff still have any witnesses to call?"

   "Yes, we will call an expert witness, a pathologist!"

   Zhang Wei immediately called out the next witness.

   The witness this time was a doctor and one of the expert witnesses hired by Jincheng Law Firm, and this was the only expert witness Zhang Wei invited.

   Hearing that expert witnesses appeared in court, the jury looked over.

   Witnesses appear in court.

   "Hello doctor, have you read the forensic report of the deceased?"

   "Yesterday you sent the report, I have read it!"

   "Well then, may I ask the doctor, what do you think the cause of the deceased's death was?"

"The reports say that it was due to stomach cramps caused by caffeine poisoning, which caused vomiting, the vomit stuck in the airway and trachea, and part of it was inhaled into the lungs. To put it simply, she was vomited by her own vomit. The thing is choked to death, a very painful way to die."

   Hearing this answer, Zhang Wei nodded.

   He then took out the cans again and asked, "Excuse me to the witness, did it kill her with such a small can in my hand?"

   "Yes, don't underestimate this can. It doesn't look like a dangerous item, but its appearance will deceive you. It's very dangerous, but it has..."

   "Objection, guide the witness to speculate!"

  Lin Yufeng finally couldn't sit still and hurriedly objected.

   "The objection is valid!" Judge Mi glanced at Zhang Wei with a hint of warning in his eyes.

   "Okay, Your Honor, my question is over!"

   Zhang Wei smiled slightly, apologized to the judge, and then walked back to the plaintiff's box.

   "Defendant, it's your turn to cross-examine!" Judge Mi nodded and smiled at Lin Yufeng.

  Lin Yufeng shook his suit, got up and walked to the witness stand.

   "Witness, are you a pathologist and a doctor at the same time?"

"Yes!"

   "Witness, do you know that in the medical profession, there is actually a set of standards for measuring a person's health?"

   "Are you talking about medical health standards, of course I know that?"

"That's good!"

  Lin Yufeng nodded, and then picked up the remote control of the projector.

   "Thanks to the photos provided by the plaintiff, we know some of the circumstances of the deceased Feng Xinxue before his death, but after seeing the photos of the deceased, I have always had a question, I hope you can answer it."

  Lin Yufeng pressed a button on the remote control, and a set of photos appeared on the projection screen.

   On the screen, there is a little girl with a sweet smile but a slightly fat face.

   "This is the photo of the deceased 2 years ago. From the perspective of a doctor, is Feng Xinxue healthy in the photo?"

  The witness glanced at the photo, thought about it and nodded: "Well, very healthy!"

"So……"

"be opposed to!"

   Just when Lin Yufeng was about to continue his question, Zhang Wei stood up.

   "The defense's question has nothing to do with the case. Your Excellency, does the photo of the deceased two years ago have anything to do with this case?"

  Lin Yufeng frowned slightly when he saw that Zhang Wei dared to interrupt himself.

The judge originally wanted to agree, but after seeing Lin Yufeng's gloomy face, he hesitated.

   "This court is also a little curious, lawyer Lin, shouldn't your question be meaningless?"

   The judge asked this question. In Zhang Wei's view, it was actually a bit biased.

   "Of course not, my question has a lot to do with this case!"

  Lin Yufeng gave a vague explanation, but Judge Mi nodded.

   "The objection is invalid, and the defendant can continue to ask questions!"

   Zhang Wei narrowed his eyes and glanced at the judge when he heard the result.

   But the other party said so, so he could only sit down.

   "My good fellow, if it was a criminal court, the question just now would have been dismissed long ago. You guys are so daring!"

   He saw it, because it is not a real court, and the judge does not need to be completely and absolutely impartial, and this is the case with Judge Mi.

   He was obviously biased towards Lin Yufeng.

  Lin Yufeng finally smiled, showing a sneering sneer at Zhang Wei.

   "Witness, please keep looking at the screen!"

   With Lin Yufeng's operation, the photo on the screen changed, it was still Feng Xinxue, but this time her face was much thinner and her figure became slimmer, or rather slender.

   "Doctor, this is a recent photo of Feng Xinxue, please tell me how she is different from when she was 14?"

   "Uh, she looks thin, and this level of thinness makes her a little unhealthy..."

   "Yes, 16-year-old Feng Xinxue is 158 tall and weighs less than 35 kilograms. In simple words, she has become a bamboo pole!"

"be opposed to!"

   Lin Yufeng's words were naturally opposed by Zhang Wei.

   "The objection is invalid!" But Judge Mi didn't give Zhang Wei any face, and directly ruled it invalid.

   Zhang Wei could only sit down helplessly, and said that he had already remembered Mi Haiyang.

   "Witness, may I ask the data I just reported, do you think Feng Xinxue is healthy?"

   "This data, I suspect that the deceased may have anorexia or something. She is too thin and has insufficient nutritional intake, so her body should be said to be very unhealthy."

   Hearing the witness's answer, Lin Yufeng laughed, because his goal was basically achieved.

   "So, does anorexia cause cramps?"

   "Yes, the stomach of anorexia patients is actually in an unhealthy state and may cause cramping symptoms!"

   "So I can think that it is an irrational judgment for the plaintiff to categorically attribute the cause of the deceased's death to our products?"

   "You are right. As for the cause of death of the deceased, the firm report can only tell us the basis for judgment, but it cannot trace the source, especially the physical condition of the deceased is not healthy, and rashly blaming it on the drink is indeed not a rational judgment!"

   On the jury, many people were surprised.

   12 jurors, several of whom have begun to think, whether the witness's words have opened up another way of thinking.

   That's what Zhang Wei once mentioned, blaming the deceased's own problems.

   Is there really something wrong with the deceased himself, and it was his own fault that caused this tragedy?

   This time, Lin Yufeng finally showed a smile. Because of his questioning, the jury had doubts.

   "My question is over!"

The goal of    was achieved, and he also walked back to the dock.

   Seeing the change in wind direction, Zhang Wei immediately stood up: "We want to add..."

   Dong Dong Dong!

   But before Zhang Wei could speak, he was interrupted by Judge Mi knocking on the cone.

   He glanced at Zhang Wei, then ignored him, and announced directly: "It's noon, everyone, let's have lunch, lunch break for 1 hour, and the trial will continue in the afternoon!"

   Obviously, he deliberately interrupted Zhang Wei.

   "Hmph, do you only have this level?"

  Lin Yufeng walked over to Zhang Wei, sneered, and then walked away.

   Zhang Wei's face was a little unsightly, because he was about to ask additional questions, but was interrupted by Mi Haiyang.

   "My dear, this is deliberately preventing me from asking questions. Isn't this witness a waste!"

  The witness was an expert witness he invited, but in the end he helped the defendant, how could he bear it.

  But if the judge announces the adjournment of the court session and resumes the court session in the afternoon, because both the prosecution and the defense have completed the questioning, the witness does not need to appear in court.

   So in the afternoon, Zhang Wei needs new witnesses.

   But in the witness list he provided, there are only two people, where is the third witness?

   "This is what you guys forced me to do. I didn't want to do it so badly, I wanted to save some face for you, Young Master Lin!"

  Zhang Weiwei took a meaningful look at the backstage studio.

  Since you are unkind, don’t blame me for being unrighteous!

   I do this just to win!

   I don't care about the rest!
