Crazy, You Call This a Trainee Lawyer

in court.

"Your Honor, we have summoned Miss Ji Guoguo, the victim of this case, to testify in court!"

Following Paul Chen's announcement, all eyes were on the plaintiff's seat.

Finally, finally...

The victim is finally going to testify in court!

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

Her complexion is a little ugly.

A little scared, a little uneasy...

But this is all normal, because she is a victim after all, and there are still people who "molested" her in court.

But Ji Guoguo's performance, in someone's eyes, seemed quite weird.

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

Zhang Wei could naturally see that Ji Guoguo's eyes were dodgy, and he looked around from time to time.

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

This behavior is somewhat abnormal...

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

unless……

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

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

However, this did not prevent him from interrogating the other party later.

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

"Hello, Miss Ji!"

"you're good too……"

Ji Guoguo seemed a little shy. After answering Paul Chen's question, he carefully looked around. When he saw Xia Qianjun, he quickly withdrew his gaze, looking very pitiful.

This scene was also seen by the six jurors, who sighed in their hearts.

What a girl, now that she has become like this, the defendant must have committed a heinous crime!

"Miss Ji, I know it's very risky for you to 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 court, they are all fighting with you, you are not alone, we are behind you!"

"Thanks."

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

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

"I……"

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

The audience was breathless, their eyes were focused on the witness stand, and they began to wait.

While the audience was watching, Ji Guoguo finally spoke.

"That day, that day, I made an appointment with someone, and at the same time called my good friend Cheng Zi, but unfortunately...the other party let us go, so Cheng Zi and I had to go to the appointment place by ourselves, that's where we met he!"

As Ji Guoguo said, he pointed to the dock, and the "he" naturally referred to Xia Qianjun.

"At that time, at the door of Love Kitchen, this man was stopped by his aunt, saying that he was not allowed to enter alone, so Cheng Zi and I decided to help him when we saw that he was pitiful. The two of us formed a team with him. into the kitchen."

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

Listening to Ji Guoguo's narration, the image of a perfunctory man emerged spontaneously in everyone's mind.

"Although she's telling the truth, why does it feel weird to listen to, avoiding the important and using half-truths to confuse the public?"

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

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

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

He didn't lie to Ji Guoguo, not because he was perfunctory, but because his attention was all on Zhang Wei and Jessica.

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

Sadly, no one in court could 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 would like to ask, is it you who proposed to go to the coffee shop, or the defendant?"

"It's him!"

Ji Guoguo pointed to the dock and recalled: "He was the one who walked to the coffee shop on his own initiative, and Cheng Zi and I had no choice but to follow him."

"So the defendant had a premeditated plan?"

"be opposed to!"

Seeing that Paul Chen was dishonest again, Li Qingmu got up immediately.

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

Paul Chen smiled slightly, and quickly "admitted" to the trial seat, 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. Cheng Zi and I didn't suspect anything, so we sat down with him, but what we didn't expect was..."

Speaking of this, Ji Guoguo's words paused for a moment, and then a sparkle flickered 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 tried to comfort her.

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, and then wanted to hug me, and finally he... He wanted to tease me... He is really not human..."

"Hey, didn't you touch your legs?"

At the hearing booth, Zhang Wei seemed to have noticed something, with a strange expression on his face.

However, he glanced around, only to find that other than himself, the others 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 feel that 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..."

The father-in-law obviously didn't pay much attention to the testimony of Ji Guoguo and Zhou Chengzi, but looked at the witness stand solemnly and sighed slightly.

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

However, for the so-called logical problem, the victim can also use excuses such as "it happened too fast at the time" or "I was too nervous so I remembered it wrong".

So it is meaningless for ordinary people to delve into this point.

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

Who asked Xia Qianjun to choose a lawyer, not Zhang Wei?

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

"...Finally, just when he was about to push his feet, I finally mustered up the courage, grabbed his hand, and screamed and molested. After that, everyone surrounded me. I was very scared at the time, but I know that I can't just let him go like this, I want to make him pay the price, otherwise I'm afraid that other girls will suffer from his claws like me!"

"Thank you Miss Ji for your response. I also believe that justice will be served. This trial will let more girls know what kind of person the defendant is. Your speech will also tell all girls that when facing persecution, you must You have to stand up bravely, blindly giving in will only fuel the other party's arrogance!"

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

Seeing that Paul Chen started to talk at length again, Li Qingmu couldn't bear it anymore.

"Lawyer Chen, although your last words are very reasonable, but 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 a female victim who was able to sue the perpetrator in court, so I felt it!"

"Hmm!!!" Ni Qiuping stared again, with a bad expression on her face.

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

Paul Chen quickly apologized, but the smile on the corner of his mouth couldn't be concealed no matter what.

For those last words of his, the jury had evidently heard them all.

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

After thanking Paul Chen, he gestured towards the dock with a smile.

That smile seemed to say: The witness is yours!

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

"Miss Ji, you..."

"Woo woo woo..."

Just when Li Qingmu asked the question, Ji Guoguo suddenly seemed to lose control of his emotions and burst into tears in court.

"this……"

Li Qingmu was suddenly stunned.

Zhang Wei, who was in the front row of the hearing seat, did the same, and then turned his gaze to the plaintiff's seat.

A sinister smile appeared on the corner of Paul Chen's mouth.

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

Sometimes, the moves are no longer fresh, as long as they are useful.

Ji Guoguo is a girl and a victim, so it's not a big problem to suffer in court, right?

If you want to question her, she lost control of her emotions and cried, which is also reasonable, right?

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 court, Li Qingmu finally couldn't hold back anymore.

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

Although Ni Qiuping was already cursing in her heart, she still maintained a dignified face, and at the same time warned coldly.

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

This pitiful scene was also seen by the jury.

What they saw was that the defendant's lawyer and the judge were "bullying" a weak woman in partnership.

The jury seat looked at Li Qingmu, full of dissatisfaction.

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

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

Li Qingmu's question made Ji Guoguo cry again.

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

He could only ask the judge for help: "Your Honor, this..."

"I know!" Ni Qiuping sighed, and raised her hand to signal Li Qingmu not to ask.

Then she tapped the hammer and announced: "In view of the fact that the witness's emotions are out of control, it has increased the difficulty of cross-examination by the defendant's lawyer. This court announces that the court will be temporarily adjourned today!"

"The trial will continue tomorrow morning..."

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

"Your Honor, we will try our best to cooperate, and we will also arrange psychological counseling for Miss Ji later!"

Paul Chen quickly agreed.

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

In this way, today's trial is over.

It ended very hastily.

And it has a big impact.

In the hearing booth, Zhang Weineng saw one thing, that is, when the jurors left, they looked at Li Qingmu and Xia Qianjun very unkindly.

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

Obviously, Paul Chen's move had an effect.

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

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

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

All in all, the court is dissolved.

Everyone, go home!

...

That evening, Aoki Law Firm.

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

"My Xiaojun didn't cry when she was wronged, but she started crying without saying a word. She cried to death. If she didn't know, she thought someone died in her family!"

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

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

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

Li Qinghe and Li Qinghua, the two sisters were chatting in the meeting 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 call suddenly?"

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

"What did you say, you are very disappointed in me, and you still want to consider terminating the contract with me at Aoki Law Firm?"

"How could it be? That's my nephew. I must help?"

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

Li Qingmu quickly opened the webpage, only to see that there were many eye-catching headlines on the headlines.

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

"Black Hearted Lawyer, Connive and Cover the Perpetrator! "

"Li Qingmu, has your conscience been eaten by a dog? "

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

"Beep beep..."

Listening to 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..."

"Mr. Gu, Mr. Gu..."

The phone was hung up again, 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 Qingmu Law Firm without exception.

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

This time, Li Qingmu finally panicked.

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

"Brother, several group clients I'm protecting have called just now, and they all implicitly proposed to me...to terminate the cooperative relationship with our law firm..."

Not long after, Li Qinghe also ran in in a panic, with a bad expression on his face.

"Needless to say, I understand!"

Li Qingmu had expected this scene.

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

Li Qingmu walked into the meeting room next door, where Li Qinghua's family was sitting, but Zhang Wei was not there.

Zhang Wei asked for leave to watch the trial. After the trial was over, he went to the law firm to report.

"Sister, and nephew, here I have to announce something..."

"Brother, what are you going to say?" Li Qinghua panicked inexplicably when she saw her elder brother's expression.

"Our Qingmu law firm has decided to terminate the contract with Xiaojun, and we will no longer represent Xiaojun!"

"Brother, you are..."

"Sister, there is no need to say much, I did this for Aoki's benefit!"

Li Qingmu sighed, but 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 a lawyer again!"

As Li Qingmu said, he walked out of the office regardless of the expressions of Li Qinghua's family.

He quickly called the secretary and gave orders.

"Quick, contact me with several media outlets overnight, I want to issue a statement!"

"Tell Lawyer Zhuo, let him draft a statement for me, the content is that our Qingmu Law Firm will no longer represent Xia Qianjun's case, and we have unilaterally terminated the entrustment 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 those clients who rejected him before.

"Also, prepare a few valuable gifts, contact Mr. Zhang in my name tomorrow, Mr. Gu and the others, just say that I want to visit in person!"

"This matter needs to be handled seriously, and I must make an appointment with them, do you understand?"

The female secretary nodded her head and her expression became serious.

"Sister, don't blame me. Compared with 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 Qingmu Law Firm.

He also did not expect 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.

It's a pity that there are not many lawyers who don't care about reputation...
