Crazy, You Call This a Trainee Lawyer

   Chapter 229 Are you crying again? Interest dictates Li Qingmu

   Court.

   "Your Majesty, we have summoned Ms. Ji Guoguo, the victim of this case, to testify in court!"

   With Paul Chen's announcement, the audience focused on the plaintiff's seat.

  Finally, finally...

   The victim is finally going to testify in court!

   Ji Guoguo stood up with difficulty under the eyes of everyone in the audience.

   Her face was a little unsightly.

   A little frightened and a little uneasy...

   But this is normal, because she is the victim after all, and the person who "indecently assaulted" her is still sitting in the court.

   But Ji Guoguo's performance seemed rather strange in someone's eyes.

   "It looks like fear, but it's more of fear, and it seems that the source of fear is not from my uncle!"

  Zhangwei naturally saw that Ji Guoguo's eyes were dodging, and he looked around from time to time.

   Compared with Xia Qianjun who wanted to "molest" her, she seemed to be more afraid of the people around her.

   This behavior is a bit abnormal...

   Because you were molested and molested in the case, shouldn't you be most afraid of Xia Qianjun?

unless……

   The only pity is that this is all Zhang Wei's experience, and this experience cannot be shared with others.

   Even the experienced Li Qingmu could not see these clues. He thought that Ji Guoguo was a little scared, but it was normal.

   But that doesn't prevent him from questioning each other later.

   Under the gaze of Li Qingmu, including everyone, Ji Guoguo sat on the witness stand.

   "Hello, Miss Ji!"

"you're good too……"

   Ji Guoguo seemed to be a little afraid of life. After answering Chen Paulo's question, he looked around carefully. When he saw Xia Qianjun, he quickly retracted his gaze and looked pitiful.

   This scene was also seen by the six members of the jury, and they sighed in their hearts.

   What a good girl, and now she has become like this, the defendant is really a heinous crime!

   "Miss Ji, I know that it is very risky to let you go to court, because you have to face the cross-examination of the defendant's lawyer alone, and you need to face the defendant himself!"

   "I...I know." Ji Guoguo nodded in fear.

   "But don't be afraid, because there are so many people in the courtroom, they are all fighting with you, you are not alone, we are behind you!"

"thanks."

  Chen Paul's words made Ji Guoguo less afraid, and his mood seemed to have improved a lot.

   "Okay, Miss Ji, I won't beat around the bush. I believe that everyone in the court only cares about what happened to you when the case happened. Can you tell everyone easily?"

"I……"

   Ji Guoguo raised his eyes, glanced at the dock, and nodded: "I will."

   The audience froze for a while, their eyes focused on the witness stand, and they began to wait.

   Just as the audience was watching, Ji Guoguo finally spoke.

"That day, I made an appointment that day, and at the same time called my good friend Chengzi, but unfortunately...the other party put our pigeons away, so Chengcheng and I had to go to the place where we made the appointment, and it was there that we met. he!"

   Ji Guoguo said, pointing to the dock, that "he" naturally refers to Xia Qianjun.

"At the door of the love kitchen, this man was stopped by his aunt, saying that he was not allowed to enter alone, then Chengzi and I decided to help him because he was pitiful, and the two of us formed a team with him. into the kitchen."

   "Then in the kitchen, the two of us cooked for him, but unfortunately he didn't appreciate it, and his attitude was very unfriendly. He didn't talk to us from beginning to end, and he was very perfunctory to us..."

   Listening to Ji Guoguo's narration, the image of a perfunctory man popped into everyone's heart.

   "Although she's telling the truth, why does it feel weird to hear it? It's easy to avoid the important, and use half-truths to confuse the public?"

   Zhang Wei looked at the woman on the witness stand who began to tell the "truth", shaking his head in his heart.

   What the other party told was not the whole truth, but only part of what she saw.

   Ji Guoguo didn't know that the reason why Xia Qianjun wanted to enter the love kitchen was to track and monitor Zhang Wei.

   He was honest with Ji Guoguo, not because he was perfunctory, but because his attention was all on Zhang Wei and Jessica.

   For Xia Qianjun during the mission, everything except the target is a foreign object and an interference!

  It is a pity that no one in court can know this.

   On the witness stand, Ji Guoguo was still making a statement.

   "...After that, we came out of the love kitchen and went to that coffee shop together..."

   "Sorry to interrupt."

   Paul Chen suddenly spoke up, interrupting Ji Guoguo's statement.

   "I want to ask, did you propose to go to the coffee shop, or was it the defendant?"

"It's him!"

   Ji Guoguo pointed to the dock and recalled: "At that time, he took the initiative to walk to the coffee shop, and Chengzi and I could only follow him."

   "So, did the defendant have a premeditated plan?"

"be opposed to!"

   Seeing that Paul Chen started to be dishonest again, Li Qingmu got up immediately.

   "Sorry, I take back what I just said!"

   Chen Baoluo smiled and hurriedly "admitted wrong" to the bench. Ni Qiuping naturally had nothing to say.

   "Miss Ji, please continue."

"OK."

   Ji Guoguo nodded and continued to speak.

   "...We entered the coffee shop together, and he chose a corner seat. Chengzi and I didn't doubt anything, so we sat down with him, but what we didn't expect was..."

   Having said this, Ji Guoguo's words paused for a while, and then a sparkling color flashed in his eyes.

   Obviously, she wanted to cry too.

   "Miss Ji, don't be nervous, don't be afraid, take a deep breath, and speak slowly..." Paul Chen hurriedly comforted and comforted him a little.

   After taking a few deep breaths, Ji Guoguo calmed down.

   "I clearly remember that in the coffee shop, he...he stretched out his hand to touch my face, then wanted to hug me, and finally he...he wanted to tease me...he was really not human..."

   "Hey, aren't you touching your legs?"

  In the hearing box, Zhang Wei seemed to have noticed something, and he looked strange.

   But he swept around, but found that apart from himself, other people were indifferent to Ji Guoguo's testimony.

   They seemed to be more concerned about Ji Guoguo's tearful accusation, but they didn't delve into the issue of testimony.

  Zhang Wei thought for a while, and leaned into Xia Donghai's ear next door: "Father-in-law, do you think Ji Guoguo's testimony is different from that of her best friend?"

   "It seems to be a little bit, but I can't say it..."

  Father-in-law obviously didn't pay much attention to the testimony of Ji Guoguo and Zhou Chengzi, but looked at the witness stand with a dignified expression and sighed slightly.

   Zhang Wei could see that, including his father-in-law, everyone was attracted by Ji Guoguo's story, but ignored the logic.

   But the so-called logical problem, the victim can also use excuses such as "it happened too fast", "I was too nervous so I remembered it wrong" and other excuses.

   So looking into this, for the average person, it doesn’t actually make sense.

   And Zhang Wei wanted to say something, but considering that he was just a melon eater today, he could only sigh in place.

  Who asked Xia Qianjun to choose the lawyer, not Zhang Wei.

In the court, Ji Guoguo's complaint also came to the final stage.

"...Finally, just when he was about to make an inch, I finally got up the courage, grabbed his hand, and screamed and yelled indecent assault. Then everyone gathered around, and I was scared, but I know that I can't just let him go, I want him to pay the price, or I'm afraid that other girls will suffer from his claws like me!"

"Thank you Miss Ji for her response, and I also believe that justice will be served. This trial will allow more girls to know what kind of person the defendant is, and your speech will also tell all girls that they must face persecution in the face of persecution. To stand up bravely, blindly forbearance will only encourage the other party's arrogance!"

   "Your Majesty, is Lawyer Chen making a closing statement?"

   Seeing that Paul Chen started talking again, Li Qingmu couldn't help it.

   "Lawyer Chen, although your last words are very reasonable, this court has to remind you that now is not the time for you to make a concluding speech!"

   "Sorry, Your Honor, I just saw that a female victim was able to sue the perpetrator in court, so I felt it!"

   "Yeah!!!" Ni Qiuping stared again, her face unpleasant.

   "Cough, I take back what I just said!"

   Paul Chen quickly apologized, but the smile on the corner of his mouth could not be concealed.

   Because of his last words, the jury apparently heard it.

   "Miss Ji, thank you again for your speech, I have no problem!"

   Paul Chen smiled and gestured towards the dock after thanking him.

   That smile seemed to say: The witness is yours!

  Li Qingmu got up and walked slowly to the witness stand.

   "Miss Ji, you..."

   "Woooooo..."

   Just when Li Qingmu asked the question, Ji Guoguo suddenly seemed to be out of control and cried in court.

"This……"

  Li Qingmu was immediately stunned.

   Zhang Wei in the front row of the hearing bench did the same, and then his eyes swept to the plaintiff's bench.

   Paul Chen's mouth showed a sinister smile.

  Obviously, it's another "crying" trick, and it's this trick again.

  Sometimes, moves are not new, as long as they are useful.

   Ji Guoguo is a girl and a victim, and suffering in court is not a big problem, right?

   You want to question her, she lost control of her emotions and burst into tears, is this reasonable?

   Paul Chen knew that although the court was serious, the jury was human, and they would definitely sympathize with Ji Guoguo.

   "Your Honor, how can I ask a question?"

In the courtyard, Li Qingmu finally couldn't hold back anymore.

   "Witness, please control your emotions, or I will sentence you to contempt of court!"

   Although Ni Qiuping was already scolding in his heart, he still maintained a dignified face and gave a cold warning at the same time.

   Ji Guoguo showed a look of fear, resisted crying, and nodded.

   This pitiful scene was all watched by the jury.

  What they saw, what they saw was the defendant's lawyer working with the judge to "bully" a weak woman.

   The jury's gaze towards Li Qingmu was full of dissatisfaction.

   "Witness, can you please describe what happened in the coffee shop that day?"

   "That day... that day, I was kissed by that person, I was kissed by him, molested, and I was kissed by him... woo woo..."

   Li Qingmu's question made Ji Guoguo cry again.

   Watching the girl burst into tears, Li Qingmu didn't know how to ask questions for a while.

   He could only turn to the judge: "Your Majesty, this..."

   "I know!" Ni Qiuping sighed and raised his hand to signal Li Qingmu to stop asking.

   Then she knocked on the hammer and announced: "In view of the witness's out-of-control emotions, which has made the cross-examination of the defendant's lawyers extremely difficult, this court announces a temporary adjournment today!"

   "The trial will continue tomorrow morning..."

  Ni Qiuping said, looking at the plaintiff's box, "Lawyer Chen, I hope your witness can be normal tomorrow. If she doesn't cooperate like this again, you will know the consequences!"

   "Your Majesty, we will do our best to cooperate, and we will arrange psychological counseling for Miss Ji later!"

   Paul Chen hurriedly agreed.

  Ni Qiuping sighed and finally reluctantly announced: "The court is dissolved!"

   That's it, today's trial is over.

   ended very hastily.

   And the impact is huge.

One thing Zhang Wei could see in the hearing box was that when the jurors left, they looked at Li Qingmu and Xia Qianjun very badly.

   They looked at Ji Guoguo, but they were full of sympathy and pity.

   Obviously, this move by Paul Chen has worked.

   "Uncle, I didn't expect you to be at this level!"

   Zhang Wei shook his head inwardly. To be honest, he was a little disappointed with Li Qingmu's performance today.

   If it was him, it would be absolutely impossible for Ji Guoguo to perform like this.

   All in all, the court was dissolved.

  Everyone, go home!

  …

   That evening, Aoki Law Firm.

   "What's the matter with that girl, cry, cry, cry!"

   "My family's Xiaojun didn't cry when she was wronged. She's good. She started crying without saying a word. She cried to death. Those who didn't know it thought her family died!"

  Li Qinghua finally couldn't hold back, and immediately complained.

   "Sister, calm down, anything can happen in court."

   "Sister, you didn't see it, that girl is in court, that's really..."

  Li Qinghe and Li Qinghua, the sisters chatted in the conference room.

  Li Qingmu frowned and sat in his office.

  Today's trial did not meet his expectations, and he was very disappointed with his performance.

Jingle Bell!

   Suddenly, a phone ringing interrupted his thoughts.

   "Hey, it's Mr. Zhang, why did you suddenly call?"

   "What, you asked me about today's case, I helped my nephew in the lawsuit, what happened?"

   "What are you talking about, you are very disappointed with me, and you still consider rescinding the contract with my Aoki Law Firm?"

   "How could that be, that's my nephew, I must help?"

   "You said let me open the webpage, oh, let me take a look..."

  Li Qingmu hurriedly opened the webpage, and as a result, he saw that there were many dazzling headlines on the headlines.

   These contents are almost all about this case, and a few of them are still about him and Aoki Law Firm.

   "Black-hearted lawyer, condoning and shielding the perpetrator! 》

   "Li Qingmu, has your conscience been eaten by dogs? 》

  《Please take action and boycott Aoki Law Firm! 》

  Li Qingmu didn't even need to click on the news to know what was in it.

   He hurriedly picked up the phone, "Mr. Zhang, listen to my explanation, I..."

   "Dududu..."

   Hearing the busy tone on the phone, Li Qingmu's face became a little ugly.

"Jingle Bell!"

   Another call came.

   "Mr. Gu, why are you free to call today?"

   "What, you said your wife didn't like our law firm and asked you to terminate the contract with us, but didn't your wife pass away last year?"

   "Oh, oh, I forgot, you married that mistress at the beginning of the year... No, no, it's your wife..."

   "Mr. Gu, don't, we didn't cooperate very well. In the patent case last year, I didn't help your company..."

   "General Manager Gu, General Manager Gu..."

  The phone was hung up again, and Li Qingmu's brows were completely locked.

Jingle Bell!

Jingle Bell!

   Next, several more phone calls came, all of whom were long-term clients of Aoki Law Firm.

   And the purpose of their call is also very simple, to terminate the contract!

   This time, Li Qingmu finally panicked.

   He didn't expect that because of this case, it would have such a big impact on the law firm.

   "Brother, several group clients I maintain have called just now, and they all veiledly proposed to me... to terminate the partnership with our law firm..."

   After a while, Li Qinghe also rushed in, looking very bad.

   "Needless to say, I know!"

   This scene, Li Qingmu had long expected.

   He said, as if he had made up his mind, suddenly got up and walked out.

  Li Qingmu walked into the conference room next door, where the Li Qinghua family sat, but Zhang Wei was not there.

  Zhang Wei was on leave to watch the trial. After the trial, he will report to the law firm.

   "Sister, and nephew, here I have to announce one thing..."

   "Brother, what are you going to say?" Li Qinghua felt inexplicably panicked when she saw the expression of her eldest brother.

   "We, Aoki Law Firm, have decided to terminate the contract with Xiaojun, and we will no longer continue to represent Xiaojun!"

   "Brother, you are..."

   "Sister, needless to say, I did this for the benefit of Aoki!"

  Li Qingmu sighed, but still said firmly: "Don't waste your time with me, I can tell you clearly that Qingmu will not help Xiaojun anymore, you should hurry up and find another lawyer!"

  Li Qingmu said, regardless of the faces of Li Qinghua's family, and walked out of the office.

   He quickly called to the secretary and hurriedly ordered.

   "Quick, contact me a few media outlets overnight, I'm going to issue a statement!"

   "Tell lawyer Zhuo to let him draw up a statement for me. The content is that our Aoki law firm will no longer represent Xia Qianjun's case. We have unilaterally rescinded the contract!"

   "Go and send an email to all our customers, tell them all these things, and be sure to contact them all!"

   After Li Qingmu finished speaking, he thought of the clients who had rejected him before.

   "Also, prepare a few precious gifts. I will contact President Zhang in my name tomorrow. President Gu and the others said that I want to visit in person!"

   "This business must be handled solemnly, and you must make an appointment with them, do you understand?"

  The female secretary nodded in command, and her expression became serious.

   "Sister, don't blame me. Compared to Xiaojun's case, I pay more attention to Aoki's life and death!"

  Xia Qianjun's case was originally an obligation.

   But the impact of this case is a matter of life and death for Aoki Law Firm.

   He never thought that a small case would have such a big impact.

  Li Qingmu can only hope that Li Qinghua can find a lawyer who is willing to help them in a short time.

  Unfortunately, there are not many lawyers who don't care about reputation now...
