Crazy, You Call This a Trainee Lawyer

  Chapter 169 After the pre-trial, the problem is...

   (Although today is Saturday, although it is raining today, the author is still going to run the streets, run the community, it's hard work...)

  …

   The pre-trial began, and the defense took the lead to ask questions.

  Although Su Bancheng is the chief lawyer of the Good House Group, it is naturally impossible for him to do such trivial matters as jury selection.

   The one who was in charge of the question was his subordinate and the junior of the law firm.

   The junior is a fairly handsome male lawyer, looking at his thirties, he looks mature and stable.

  The male lawyer walked to the jury and asked slowly:

"I want to ask the jurors here to assume such a scenario. The town you live in is in the winter, and it snows for several days in winter. The snow on the ground is at least ten centimeters thick, causing serious damage to the residents of the town. Huge life difficulties."

   "At this time, the town decided to organize snow shoveling. Everyone took the shovel and started to shovel the snow out of the town one by one. After several days of struggle, the snow in the town was shoveled clean."

"But at this time, two residents slipped and fell and broke their toes and broke their fingers because of the snow shoveling, so they decided to sue the town and sue the snow shovel operation. people!"

  The male lawyer said this and asked with a smile, "What do you think about this story?"

   "Sir, what do you think?"

   The juror named by the male lawyer looked confused.

   "Do you want me to tell the truth?"

"Of course!"

   Seeing the male lawyer's decisiveness, the juror laughed, "I think, your story is quite nonsense!"

   The male lawyer was not surprised by this answer, but smiled slightly towards the court.

   "Your Honor, the defense appreciates the juror's honest answer and asks the other party to leave!"

  The man left, but the male lawyer was still questioning others.

   "Lady, what do you think of this story?"

   "I think these people just don't know the good and the bad. The town has helped you shovel the snow, but you blame the town for some trivial things. In my opinion, it is no different from making trouble!"

   "The defense appreciates your answer!"

  The male lawyer was satisfied with the woman's answer and nodded to the court.

   Obviously, he wanted to keep this woman.

   The defense's question also puzzled Susan, who was sitting in the plaintiff's seat.

   "Zhang Wei, what do their questions mean, why don't I understand?"

   "Don't understand this?"

   Zhang Wei was stunned for a moment, you didn't realize the other party's "easy to understand" purpose?

   "I don't understand..." Susan shook her head.

   "Hey, well, I'll tell you their purpose!"

   Zhang Wei sighed helplessly, his teammates were not good enough, and he couldn't do anything about it.

"Actually, this problem is aimed at the residents of Tonghu Town. The other party compares himself to the person who helped the town shovel snow, and compares your family to people who make trouble. In their opinion, their factory helped the town solve the problem. The employment rate has provided jobs for the townspeople, this is all a charity to the town, and you still want to extort the good house group, this is ignorance!"

   "So why did he screen out that man, just because that man didn't even have the idea of ​​listening to the story!"

   "As for keeping the woman, of course, because the woman's answer was in line with their expectations and was the ideal juror they needed."

   "That's right..."

   With Zhang Wei's explanation, Susan finally understood.

   Such a small story has hidden such a follow-up, which is really insightful.

   "Then what are we going to do?" Susan asked quickly.

  Zhang Wei leaned into the ear of the other party and instructed: "It's very simple. When you ask questions later, just ask me like this..."

   After a while, the male lawyer nodded to the prosecution.

   means, it's the prosecution's turn.

  Susan took a deep breath, then got up and walked towards the jury.

   "Excuse me, jurors, what sports do you like?"

   As soon as this question was asked, the audience was stunned.

  The jury looked at each other, the hearing bench whispered, and even Su Bancheng, who was on the defense bench, gave Zhang Wei a slightly surprised look.

   Zhang Wei is naturally the old god, and he nodded to the former in response.

   "What kind of calculus is this kid playing? What's the point of asking such a question?"

   He doesn't understand, and others naturally don't understand.

   But this question is actually not difficult to answer, after all, everyone has a favorite sport.

   "Sir, what sport do you like?"

   "Me, I like table tennis and diving!"

   "These are the strengths of the Dragon Kingdom. It seems that you like to see our Dragon Kingdom team win!"

   "Of course, who likes to lose?"

  Susan nodded, and after seeing Zhang Wei shaking his head slightly, he said to the court seat: "Your Majesty, the prosecution thanked the juror for his answer and asked him to leave the seat!"

   The judge had no opinion and motioned to the man, who immediately got up and left.

   "Lady, what sport do you like?"

   "I love football!"

   Hearing the woman's answer, many people nearby laughed.

   "Ma'am, as far as I know, football is not our strong point?"

   "Yeah, they keep losing, but my husband likes to watch it, so I'll follow along..."

   Seeing the woman spread her hands to answer, Susan lost her mind and quickly looked at the prosecution seat.

   Zhang Wei nodded this time.

   "Your Honor, we accept this juror!"

The judge    is also a little strange, but still record it.

  Susan was about to continue asking questions, but out of the corner of her eyes, Zhang Wei pointed to the lower left corner.

   "Oh, that woman!"

  Susan then remembered that there was a woman on the jury who needed to be focused.

   She walked up to the woman and asked, "Hello ma'am, what is your job?"

   "I'm an architect, working as a project development manager for a real estate company!"

   Hearing the woman's answer, Susan had no idea, but Zhang Wei took a deep breath.

   A woman holds an important position in the construction and real estate industries, where men are more employed, and has incredible achievements.

   "This woman may be the center of the jury, and the judge may make her the chief juror!"

   In addition, this woman has just been divorced, and she has a distrustful attitude towards men or people who are full of lies. She is the ideal juror Zhang Wei needs.

   He gave Susan a slight nod.

   "Your Honor, we accept this juror!"

  Susan naturally had no opinion and expressed the prosecution's request.

   "Where's the defense?" The judge looked at Su Bancheng.

   "Your Honor, the defense also accepts this juror!"

   This time, Su Bancheng stood up in person, responded with a smile, and didn't even let the male lawyer under him speak.

   Looking at the smile on his face, it seems that this choice is in line with his expectations.

   Susan saw this scene, and Zhang Wei naturally would not miss it.

something wrong!

   They all noticed, there is a big problem!

   "Well, we already have a jury. Tomorrow happens to be the last day of March. The court will open at 9:30 in the morning. Now the court is dissolved!"

  As the judge hammered the announcement, the time for the trial was also set.

   "Lawyer Zhang, Lawyer Su, look forward to your performance tomorrow!"

  Su Bancheng walked up to Zhang Wei and the two this time and greeted them with a smile.

   Then, regardless of how the two of them answered, he left with his subordinates and everyone from the Good House Group.

   "Zhang Wei, the smiles when they left are a big problem!"

  Jessica also walked over from the hearing booth. As a psychologist, she also sensed something was wrong.

   "Yes, there is indeed a problem, we need to go back and review, where is the problem!"

  Zhang Wei sensed the seriousness of the problem and set off to return with Jessica and Susan.

  …

   Copper Lake Town, Samui home.

   "There should be no problem with the jurors. If that woman is related to the Good House Group, she must not pass the jury's integrity investigation report!"

   "The Good House Group is mainly engaged in furniture manufacturing. Although it has cooperated with many real estate companies, there must be no company where the woman happens to work!"

   Zhang Wei knew that the Taoyuan District Court could not allow an employee of a real estate company that had a partnership with the Good House Group to join the jury.

   Then women certainly have no problem.

  Since there is no problem, and if he has not misunderstood the character of the other party, then where is the problem?

  Su Bancheng has 40 years of court experience, it is impossible not to see what that woman thinks.

   A woman who can't trust lies, why did Su Bancheng keep her?

   In an instant, Zhang Wei thought of it.

   "There must be traitors among us!"

   That was the only explanation he could think of!

   Since women don't trust anyone and have absolutely zero tolerance for lies and deceit, then Su Bancheng's purpose for leaving the other party is clear.

   Among the six families in Tonghu Town, there must be something wrong!

  Only in this way will Su Bancheng show such a smile after the pre-trial is over.

   He obviously got a huge advantage, so he couldn't hide his inner joy.

   "Impossible, none of us have problems, absolutely no problems!"

  Su Mei didn’t believe that the six families were all neighbors, so how could there be problems.

   She had used her character to guarantee before, and assured Zhang Wei that the six family members were innocent.

   They have been neighbors for decades. If there is any problem between each household, how can it be hidden from the eyes of other households.

   "Aunt Mei, are you sure, I think Su Bancheng must know something that we don't know, that's why it's like this..."

   "No, Attorney Zhang, you must have made a mistake. I can use my personality as a guarantee, and our family will be fine!"

   Seeing that Zhang Wei was about to have doubts again, Su Mei quickly made a promise.

   "Zhang Wei, it's really impossible for our family to have problems. The case data of several uncles and aunts are all compiled by me!" Susan also explained.

   "Aunt Mei, Susan, don't put more burdens on Zhang Wei, let him judge for himself, you are doing him a lot of trouble."

   Although Jessica wanted to stand with Aunt Mei, she told her rationally that Zhang Wei was not wrong.

   "Zhang Wei, your idea is not wrong, I support you!"

   "But you also have to consider whether if we investigate our own people now, it will destroy our unity."

   As she said, the court is about to start, and as a result, you investigate your own people, even if you find something, and then stab it out.

   Then, what will the other families think of you, you don't even trust us?

   Once the alliance of several families is disintegrated, it is likely to be broken by the Good House Group.

  Zhang Wei also waved his hand, Jessica's thinking is not unreasonable. .

   "I want to be quiet..."

   He needs to calm down and think about it.

   Anyway, he knew that Su Bancheng must be proud because they knew a secret that Zhang Wei didn't know.

   This is the lore!

   Zhang Wei didn't like this very much, and let himself fall into a passive state.

   "Aunt Mei, let's go to the yard to bask in the sun, give him some time!"

  Jessica naturally understood Zhang Wei's concerns. She saw something and quickly took Su Mei and Susan to the backyard.

   "Six family members, even if Aunt Mei promises, I can't really trust them, because I am not related to them, they must have problems, but I don't know who they are!"

   "Judging from Su Bancheng's smile, he must have the key evidence to kill us. Who is it? Could it be the Wang family?"

   Zhang Wei's first suspect was Wang Qiang.

  Because of the other party's performance, it doesn't quite fit the position of the general weak, and the other party's tough attitude is obviously abnormal.

   But Wang Qiang is not the first initiator of this case, even if there is a problem with this guy, Zhang Wei thinks that it should not be possible to directly change the trend of this case.

  If you want to say who are the key witnesses, it should be Su Mei, the initiator of this case, and Susan, the lawyer who is in charge. They...

   "Wait, what's Auntie Sumei's real name?"

   In Zhang Wei's mind, there seemed to be a flash of inspiration.

   Although he wouldn't trust other people, Su Mei's expression didn't look like a joke, she believed in her heart that the other families were fine.

   But what about Samui herself?

   Thinking of this, Zhang Wei immediately took out his mobile phone and dialed a number.

   "Hey, it's lawyer Zhang, I'm Cheng Liang, what are you looking for from me?"

   "Representative Cheng, can you investigate foreign insurance information?"

   "Foreign information, this...it's not difficult to handle. We sincerely insure companies with foreign cooperation. If Lawyer Zhang really wants to investigate, we will expeditiously handle it!"

   "Well, I need you to help me investigate this name, her name is Su Mei, no... her name is Melina Kent!"

   "Melina Kent, I understand, Lawyer Zhang, we must do it as soon as possible!"

On the other end, Cheng Liang hung up the phone immediately after writing down his name, and started to get busy.

   Zhang Wei also stared at the backyard after hanging up the phone and fell into thought.

   He hoped that his suspicions were wrong.

   Zhang Wei spent the whole afternoon waiting.

   Just before dinner, Cheng Liang finally got news.

   At dinner time, the four of them sat together.

  Although there was a decent meal in front of him, none of the four, including Zhang Wei, touched their chopsticks.

   "Aunt Mei, I finally understand the problem!"

   "Lawyer Zhang, what's the problem?"

  Su Mei looked worried, because she was afraid that some of the other five family members really had a problem.

   "The problem is you!"

   But Zhang Wei looked at Su Mei.

"I?"

   "Yes, it's you!"

   Zhang Wei said, turning on the phone screen and showing it in front of Su Mei.

   "I found out your insurance registration information in your hometown through the relationship of sincerity insurance, as well as your family medical history, Melina Kent, your grandfather William Kent died of cancer!"

   "My grandpa?"

  Su Mei was also stunned. She came to the Dragon Kingdom decades ago, and her grandfather died before she was even born.

  These news, who knows?

   If it wasn't for Zhang Wei's relationship with sincerity insurance, it just so happens that sincerity insurance is also related to foreign insurance companies, how could ordinary people find out about this kind of thing.

   "Aunt Mei, I thought about it just now. You told me that there are no problems with the other families, so I was thinking, is there something wrong with you, I didn't expect to be guessed by me!"

  Zhang Wei looked helpless. The person who should have the least problem was Su Mei, but in the end, he slapped them in the face.

  Su Mei contracted cancer due to environmental pollution and had less than a year to live.

   But now, this cancer does not come from environmental pollution, not from carcinogens that may appear in factories, but from family inheritance!

   If this is the case, doesn't it mean that their biggest support will also lose their power.

   "Zhang Wei, what shall we do next?"

   Seeing Zhang Wei solve the puzzle, Susan lost her opinion.

  What's the matter? Why is a court trial so difficult?

   It also involves the mother's family history of genetic diseases, who would have thought of this?

"What we have to do is very simple. In the next trial, let Aunt May stay in the hearing box. Fortunately, we listed all six family members as prosecution witnesses from the beginning. As long as we do not call witnesses, the defense cannot call !"

   For now, that's all there is to it.

   As long as Su Mei does not testify in court, then Su Bancheng will not be able to uncover this matter, and they will be considered safe.

  The only pity is that Su Mei and Susan have been preparing for this case for so long, but they have no room to play.

   Zhang Wei is also helpless, but this is the best way to deal with it.

   A dinner ended with the helplessness of the four.

   Because of Samui, they have no appetite.

night.

   Zhang Wei rested his arms alone, lying on the edge of the bed, staring at the only window in the room, thinking about something.

"Are you asleep?"

   A soft whisper sounded in his ear.

"not yet!"

   Zhang Wei sighed.

   It was almost midnight, but he couldn't sleep.

  Suddenly, I felt a **** *** on my back.

   Needless to say, it must be Jessica, she *****.

  Although the two have been in the same bed for two days, they are no longer as embarrassed as they were at the beginning.

   But both of them maintained restraint, even on this one-meter-five-wide bed.

   But today, because of Su Mei's incident, Zhang Wei was agitated, and Jessica also noticed this.

   "I know about Aunt Mei. It must have upset you. I'm also sorry for pulling you in. If it wasn't for my willfulness, you wouldn't be like this now..."

  Jessica said, *pasted* her body over.

   Zhang Wei suddenly became nervous, and his heart was pounding, not because of concerns about the case, but because of the strange feeling in his back.

   It felt too real, he could already imagine it.

   hiss~

   Zhang Wei sucked in a breath. It was the first time the two had such intimate contact.

  Jessica was still apologizing, because she made Zhang Wei come to Tonghu Town, and she felt responsible.

   "Zhang Wei, I'm sorry..."

   She said, her right hand unconsciously pulled in front of Zhang Wei.

   At this moment, Zhang Wei's heart is also suffering.

  Jessica, what are you doing!

  Do you know that you are playing with fire like this.

   The consequences of doing so may lead to 404!

   Zhang Wei quickly grabbed Jessica's hand and held it tightly in his palm.

   He could no longer care about the touch of his palm, but forced himself to calm down.

   "Jessica, thank you, I'm fine now, let's go to bed early, there's a tough battle to be fought tomorrow!"

   The so-called tough battle is naturally a court trial.

   "Well, go to bed early!"

  Jessica answered happily when Zhang Wei finally recovered.

   However, she still asked Zhang Wei to hold her hand, and did not plan to adjust her posture.

   Zhang Wei was helpless, feeling the tenderness of his fingertips, and forced himself to close his eyes.

   Zhang Wei felt that it was Alexander who slept with Jessica.

   This pressure is greater than facing a hundred lawyers!
