  …

After one hour.

  The scene of the court hearing.

   Zhang Wei was very relieved to see the defendant who was talking about his life experiences in court.

   "Xiao Zhang, is this what you taught him?"

   On the jury box, Zhao Qingyan asked with ears.

   "Uncle Zhao, don't talk nonsense, how could I do such a thing?"

Zhang Wei smiled and hurriedly denied it in a low voice: "It's just that I met Sister Zhang Hui by coincidence and had a little talk with her, and then she coincidentally met the defendant in the elevator, and she was extremely coincidental and wanted to talk to herself. I'm just talking to myself, how can you say that I taught the defendant, I have never had any contact with the other party outside of court!"

   Zhao Qingyan smiled slightly when he heard this explanation, but he still tried to keep a serious expression on his face.

   This little Zhang is really eclectic in his work, but he can't find any flaws.

   is really full of details, no leaks!

   is not only a question during the trial, but also a suggestion for the defendant's closing statement, which made Zhao Qingyan impressed.

   Now, his eyes are on the court, the defendant who is making the closing statement.

   "Actually, I went to the funeral that day, and I happened to be wearing a black suit. As a result, when I went back, I met a friend who asked me to take her to a court hearing. I agreed without much thought."

"I still remember every detail of that trial. My friend was charged with civil affairs. She didn't have the money to hire a lawyer. The prosecution's lawyer's questions were aggressive. My friend was almost speechless in the other party's questions. Don't stand up."

"The trial ended, and the final result was that my friend won the case, and I couldn't believe that I actually won and defeated my opponent in the trial. My friend thanked me, and when I saw her smile from the bottom of my heart, I felt Knowing that everything you do is worth it.”

   "It's strange to say that there was a person on the hearing bench who was also charged during the trial. It was a traffic accident. He found me after the trial and asked me to help him defend."

"After that, more and more people came to me for help... Although I told myself at the beginning that fakes are fakes after all, and there will be a day when they will be exposed, but when I see those helpless eyes , but another different voice appeared in my heart. Once, even if I help them again..."

"Just like that, I helped more and more people, and so did the number of people who came to visit, and finally I don't even remember how many people I helped. But I swear, I give legal advice to everyone, Not to earn their money, otherwise I wouldn't charge 25 bucks an hour, I help them because they need help and I'm the only one who can help them."

  …

After   30 minutes, the closing arguments are over.

  Under the judge's signal, a group of jurors entered the conference room and began to discuss the outcome of the trial.

In the    conference room, the jurors gathered in one place.

   "Mr. Zhao, you are a professional, what do you think?"

   "Don't keep your mouth shut, big guys, don't you all give opinions?"

   "Everyone has an opinion, but who wants to start?"

   "Why don't you let Mr. Zhao come, after all, he is a big man, and we are all small people."

   "Yes, Mr. Zhao, you can work in Blacksmith Technology, which is a big company. I believe your vision and knowledge are much higher than ours. I think it's up to you to make up your mind this time?"

   Zhang Wei can see that, several jurors have no opinion, and they all want to let Zhao Qingyan decide.

  Although Zhao Qingyan, as the chief juror, has the right to announce the result, the deliberation result is common to all jurors.

   Zhao Qingyan, naturally it is impossible to make a statement.

   He looked at Zhang Wei next to him: "Xiao Zhang, you are studying the Fa, why don't you give your uncle an idea?"

   "Ah, this..."

   Zhang Wei did not want to speak, after all, this is likely to affect the verdict.

   But after feeling the gazes of other jurors, he decided to give some advice appropriately.

   "Everyone, before making a decision, let me briefly explain."

   "First of all, of course, the defendant, what he did was good or bad?"

When Zhang Wei said this, he paused, and after seeing everyone looking at him, he said, "Obviously, what he did was a good thing, but the method was not allowed by the law. The law does not allow evil, but it can tolerate kindness. , everyone understands this truth, right?"

  The jurors nodded subconsciously.

  Although many people don't know what Zhang Wei's words mean at all, but they are right to nod.

   Zhang Wei also saw that this group of people did not have much opinion at all, and even many of them wanted to close the case as soon as possible and go home early for dinner.

   He smiled and suddenly changed his words: "However, this cannot cover up the fact that he violated the rules. If he is acquitted, wouldn't this kind of behavior be condoned?"

   "Yes, yes, this young man is right." Someone immediately echoed.

   "However, as I said just now, if good deeds are to be punished, then who will do good deeds in the future, so if we convict him, won't we prevent others from doing good deeds?"

   "Uh..." The person who agreed with him just now stopped talking.

   He looked at Zhang Wei with a confused expression.

   Why doesn't this kid play cards according to the routine, this change of position is too fast, I can't keep up.

   Zhang Wei continued: "Finally, what I want to explain is the significance of this trial. What do you think the significance of this trial is?"

   Seeing Zhang Wei throwing the question, everyone except Zhao Qingyan looked at each other in dismay.

   Fortunately, Zhang Wei didn't expect this group of people to really answer.

   A juror saw that the atmosphere was a little cold, and quickly said: "Isn't the purpose of this trial because of that fake lawyer?"

"That's just the surface!" Zhang Wei shook his head: "The purpose of this trial is because the Eastern Metropolitan Prosecutor's Office lost a lawsuit to the defendant, so they investigated the defendant's background, just like I asked during the trial. Yes, this trial is the other side's counterattack against the defendant, and we are just tools used by the District Prosecutor's Office to retaliate!"

   "If we convicted the defendant, wouldn't we avenge the local prosecutor's office? Are you willing to be used as a **** and a **** in the hands of others?"

   As soon as these words came out, all the jurors showed their thoughts.

   Zhang Wei's words are very direct, but for a bunch of people who don't know each other, it's better to be direct.

   Are you willing to be used as a gunman?

  The answer is that no one wants to be someone else's pawn, to be manipulated by them, and no one likes to be manipulated by others.

   "Then... in this trial, we are going to acquit him?" A juror looked around and asked.

   "No, if he is acquitted, it would be too bad for the seriousness of the law." Zhang Wei shook his head.

   "This..." The jurors were puzzled again.

   You said so, but you still don't plan to let him go?

   Zhang Wei smiled and said, "It's very simple. We ruled that his behavior was illegal, but we didn't convict him, and at the same time make him pay a little price. Isn't that the best of both worlds?"

   "Listen to me, we just need..."

  After 1 hour, the negotiation is over.

  The scene of the court hearing.

   Zhao Qingyan, as the chief juror, stood up and read out in public:

"In response to a series of acts charged by the prosecution against the defendant, our jurors unanimously decided not to admit that the defendant was guilty of fraud, but only admitted that the defendant had minor violations when providing legal advice to help clients, so we should not be convicted. We recommend The court sentenced the defendant to 500 hours of community labor, and after completing his law degree, he needs to enter the court-recommended legal aid clinic to complete 1,500 hours of voluntary assistance!"

   As soon as the verdict came out, some families were happy and some were sad.

   The prosecutor opened his mouth and tried to say something several times, but couldn't.

   And the defense and defense lawyers cheered directly, their faces full of excitement.

   Because as long as he is not convicted, the defendant can continue to be a lawyer.

   As for 500 hours of community labor and 1500 hours of legal assistance, it only takes time to complete.

   On the jury, Zhao Qingyan finally breathed a sigh of relief after announcing that it was over.

  Because of the burden on me, it was finally gone.

   "Xiao Zhang, you let me see one thing, the law does not allow lovers to be affectionate, I saw the real shining point in you!"

   "Uncle Zhao, look at what you said, no Fa-students talk about being ruthless, I just don't like being used as a gunman."

   Zhang Wei smiled and quickly rejected it.

   But in fact, in his heart, he also had a little doubt about his behavior.

  The original Zhang Qiansheng, who could even do anything to win, would waste time and energy on such a small case.

   If I were my former self, wouldn’t I just ignore the defendant’s life or death and let him fend for himself?

the other side.

   After the defendant and the lawyer celebrated, they hurriedly came to Zhang Wei.

   "Thank you, Mr. Zhang!"

   "If it wasn't for you, I might have gone to jail today, thank you."

   "You're welcome, this is what I should do!" Zhang Wei's answer was a bit perfunctory.

   "Hold on well, we're leaving!" He quickly said goodbye to the defendant, not wanting to have too many entanglements.

"thank you…"

   Zhang Wei and Zhao Qingyan left the trial scene regardless of the defendant's thanks.

   "Xiao Zhang, my uncle is very happy today, why don't we have a meal together?"

   "Is Uncle Zhao a treat?"

   "Of course, I'm an elder."

   "That feeling is good!"

   Zhao Qingyan took Zhang Wei and happily went to dinner.

  …

   three days later.

   Oriental Capital, City Court.

  Zhang Hui sat blankly on the steps of the court entrance, with a melancholy expression, slightly absent-minded.

  Because just now, a client she represented was arrested across the city by people from the Oriental Capital Martial Arts Association.

The reason for    being taken away was the sudden death of the person who was beaten in a brawl attack a few days ago, so the person who pleaded guilty became a murder suspect and was prosecuted by the Eastern Metropolitan Prosecutorial Headquarters for wrongful death.

   She was in a very bad mood when she thought that she was the one who asked the other party to plead guilty at the time, and now she will be sentenced to 3-7 years in prison.

   Thinking again that it was not the District Prosecutor's Office that was prosecuting, but the well-known District Prosecution Headquarters in the Eastern Capital, Zhang Hui didn't even have the idea of ​​refuting it.

   The Eastern Metropolitan Prosecutorial Headquarters is not the sub-bureaus within its jurisdiction, but the top combat power in the entire southern judicial community.

   Even the top lawyers of the top ten law firms may back down when they know that their opponent is the headquarters of the district attorney.

   And she, Zhang Hui, is just a rookie lawyer, an assistant lawyer who has just obtained a practicing license, how could she possibly resist such a powerful force.

   "If I had known this earlier, I shouldn't have made him plead guilty in the first place!"

   Zhang Hui is really helpless now, unless there is a savior, but even in her own law firm, it is impossible for anyone to help her.

  The lawyers of Yongjie Law Firm rarely take criminal defense cases. Even if they do, most of them settle out of court. They are all afraid of confronting the district attorney’s headquarters in court.

   But just when Zhang Hui was lost, she didn't notice the gate of the city court, and an acquaintance came down.

"Lawyer Zhang, I'm so happy that I didn't expect you to get the acquittal for me. By the way, please forgive what I said at the beginning. Although you haven't got the certificate yet, your strength is really amazing. Who will be in the future? If you say that your strength is not enough, I will be the first to disagree!"

   "Say I'm not strong enough, I remember only you said it."

"Hey, that's just angry words, who made you so young, and you don't even have a qualification certificate. If it wasn't for my case being a pro bono case and I couldn't choose a lawyer myself, I would have really changed lawyers at that time. But ah , I didn't change lawyers at that time, it was definitely the wisest decision I've made in the past few years, otherwise I wouldn't have seen your methods!"

"Stop flattering and be a good person in the future. Although you didn't steal anything, you have to think about why the Wushu Association locked you up as a suspect in the first place. If your **** is clean, the Wushu Association will arrest you so quickly. ?"

   "Yes, yes, what lawyer Zhang taught is that I must be a good person in the future, so I will go first."

   "Let's go, I just happened to go back and have a look, maybe I can take another case to pass some time."

   "That is, that is, you are busy, you are busy..."

   A man with stubborn eyebrows and eyes quickly ran past, and Zhang Hui raised his head a little strangely.

   She always felt that Lawyer Zhang's voice just now seemed a little familiar.

   "Yo, isn't this Sister Zhang Hui, why are you sitting at the gate of the city court? It's already December, and the weather is so cold, can your **** take it?"

   Hearing this, Zhang Hui finally realized who this "lawyer Zhang" was.

   She got up quickly and walked towards the person behind.

   "Zhang Wei, why are you here?"

   "I have nowhere to go except here." Zhang Wei spread his hands and looked helpless.

"Our law students can't hold any judicial profession before they get a practicing qualification certificate, not even judges, prosecutors, lawyers, notaries, arbitrators (legal), not even legal advisers. The only one I can choose is a public defender, so I come to the city court to take public interest cases, which are rarely done anyway, so I will do volunteer work."

   "Public defender, you have taken a public interest case!" Zhang Hui nodded, indicating that he understood.

   "Then your case..."

"Of course I won the case. I took this case in the past few days, but the person who won the district prosecutor's office got the acquittal for the client. But to be honest, the level of the prosecutor at the district prosecutor's office is just that. It's too unchallenging for me, just like the senpai in the moot court..."

   Zhang Wei said with a look of disdain on his face, but soon found that something was wrong in what he said, and the person who was used as a negative teaching material was not right in front of him.

   "Cough, senpai, don't take it to heart, I just made a random analogy..."

   "Zhang Wei!" But suddenly, Zhang Hui's expression was extremely solemn, making Zhang Wei feel a little nervous.

   "I'll treat you to a meal!"

"what???"

   A few minutes later, a fast food restaurant nearby.

   Zhang Wei picked up a hamburger in front of him and bit off a third of it.

   "I almost forgot, it's been a while since I've eaten this stuff. I really miss the days when I was a little lawyer. Every day is busy and fulfilling, and I'll be satisfied with a big hamburger at noon!" He sighed while eating.

   "Didn't you get your certificate yet?" Zhang Hui, who was sitting opposite, looked strange.

   "Oh, I used to be a lawyer in my dream." Zhang Wei said perfunctorily, but then glanced at the hamburger in front of Zhang Hui.

   "Sister, why don't you eat, and seeing how preoccupied you are, don't you really want to invite me to dinner?"

   The corners of Zhang Hui's mouth twitched, but she couldn't smile if she wanted to.

   "What the junior said is, I have no appetite." She said, pushing the hamburger in front of Zhang Wei.

   Zhang Wei was not polite, he just picked up the hamburger and brought it to his mouth.

   "Tell me, senpai, what can I do for you?"

   "I, I want you to help me with a case..."

   Thinking of what Zhang Wei wants to do, Zhang Hui is a little hard to explain.

   "What case, you actually want you to beg me, the opponent is not easy, or is the case a little tricky?"

   "This case is not complicated if you say it is complicated, but it is not simple if you say it is simple, and the biggest problem is not the case itself, but the person who took over..."

"who?"

   "It's the Eastern Metropolitan Prosecutor's Office. Although that prosecutor looks like a newcomer, he is also a newcomer from the headquarters."

Zhang Hui raised his head and glanced at Zhang Wei, seeing that the latter's expression had not changed before continuing: "The opponent is the headquarters of the ground inspector, whose strength is too strong, I am really not sure, so I would like to ask you to help me. If you can. If so, you can also give me some advice, I wonder if my younger brother can help me with this?"

   "Oh, that's right~"

   Zhang Wei nodded, then asked, "Then did your client plead guilty?"

   "He pleaded guilty, but not in the way you think, and his confession had some of my influence, but he didn't actually do that."

   "So, there is still a secret in this case?" Zhang Wei's face was a little solemn.

   Zhang Hui thought that Zhang Wei was hesitating, and quickly said: "If my junior doesn't want to help, I can understand, but I would like to ask you to help me. If you want to do something for the client, what should you do?"

   "Sister, I didn't say I wouldn't help!"

   Zhang Wei suddenly said: "But listen to you, in this case, your defendant seems to be not at fault, isn't it?"

   "I don't know that, but I don't think he did that."

   "That's okay, I can help with this, but I have one request!"

   "Sister, please tell me!" Zhang Hui's expression brightened when she heard Zhang Wei's agreement.

   Zhang Wei smiled slightly, and then his face became straight: "I want to be the chief lawyer in this case!"

"what???"

   This time, it was Zhang Hui's turn to be stunned.
