Crazy, You Call This a Trainee Lawyer

   Chapter 31 No one else can handle this case, but I can!

   Wushu Association, inside the detention center.

"Last Thursday night at 8 o'clock, the defendant Lin Xiao took his wife Chen Lan to go shopping on Jinnan Road, Central Street. During this period, he clashed with Wei Hong, Ding Suo and other four people. During the scuffle, Wei Hong fell to the ground after being pushed and shoved. The victim suffered a slight blow to the brain... Three days later, Wei Hong died of a sudden cerebral hemorrhage. The forensic doctor identified the cause of death as brain injury and internal hemorrhage. According to the confession record three days ago, the prosecution determined that Lin Xiao's pushing behavior caused Wei Hong's death , charged him with manslaughter..."

   Zhang Wei finished reading out a case detail in front of Lin Xiao and Zhang Hui.

"You have also heard that the time, place, person, process of the case, the damage and the consequences of the incident, etc. are all in this document, and the prosecution will investigate you based on this document, and finally identify you. It was the murderer who brought arrest and manslaughter charges against you."

   In front of Zhang Wei, the defendant Lin Xiao's face was very complicated, most of which was resentment towards Zhang Hui.

   Because he remembered that it was this woman who made him confess his guilt, which finally led to the series of bad things that followed.

   Facing Lin Xiao's eyes that seemed to kill, Zhang Hui was very apologetic.

   But Zhang Wei didn't care about this, but looked at each other and reminded coldly:

   "Mr. Lin, what you need to think about now is not to hate my senpai, but to think about how to get rid of yourself and how to get rid of the accusation of manslaughter."

"what can I do!"

The latter said in a cold voice, with a look of indignation: "I was working in the factory, and was suddenly taken away by people from the Wushu Association. They also said that I killed someone and was charged with murder. What can I do, I was directly charged by them. Tortured, just because I pushed that guy 4 nights last week, and now that he's dead, I'm a murderer, ah! What can I do, you say!?"

   He said behind, getting more and more excited, and even almost jumped up.

   But fortunately, he was really handcuffed this time, so he couldn't really jump up.

   "You are too excited, excitement cannot solve the problem, and we are not here to see you incompetent and furious!"

   Zhang Wei was very calm, staring at each other coldly.

   Seeing Zhang Wei's expression, Lin Xiao looked gloomy and asked, "Who are you?"

   "Sorry, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Zhang Wei. I was entrusted by Sister Zhang Hui to be your defense attorney."

"Defense counsel?"

"Yes, defense lawyer, but I want to tell you first, although I am a law student and passed the law exam, I have not yet obtained a practicing qualification certificate, so I cannot provide paid legal aid, and cannot receive commercial and civil services. , transnational and other lawsuits, but fortunately your defense is a criminal lawsuit, which is not included here."

When Zhang Wei said this, he was a little fortunate: "Fortunately, the regulations of the judiciary in Dongfang Capital have a lot of care for law students like me, which is very good. It is legal and compliant for me to help you file a lawsuit. The only The question is are you going to hire me?"

   "You are still a student, you just passed the law exam, and you don't even have a certificate!"

  Although Lin Xiao did not study the Fa, the anger in his heart was ignited again when he heard Zhang Wei say this.

   "I'm from cnm, you're still a student, you're here to make me happy!"

  Lin Xiao roared immediately, but Zhang Wei just looked at him calmly.

   "I understand your feelings, but understanding is understanding. Since you don't need it, I can only..."

  Zhang Wei decided to leave when he saw that Lin Xiao couldn't communicate.

   But at this moment, outside the meeting room, the staff on duty of the Wushu Association walked in.

   "Lin Xiao, your wife is here to see you!"

   I saw a woman in a black trench coat and walked in with a man in a suit about 40 years old.

   "Yo, let's go together!" Seeing the man in the suit, Zhang Wei knew the identity of the other party.

   The other party is also a lawyer!

   "Wife!" Lin Xiao saw the woman and stood up with a "squeak".

   This woman is Lin Xiao's wife, Chen Lan, and a witness in the case.

   But any lawyer knows that testimony between husband and wife has no credibility.

  Chen Lan didn't respond, but the man in the suit was the first to speak: "Hello, Mr. Lin, I'm a lawyer hired by your wife. This is my business card."

   said, he handed a business card to Lin Xiao.

   Zhang Wei took a peek and saw only the word "Yu Liang" was written on the business card, and there was no introduction of any law firm.

   "It's actually an independent lawyer..."

   "Lawyer Yu, are you here to help me file a lawsuit?" Lin Xiao saw Yu Liang's appearance as if he saw a savior.

   "This..." Yu Liang paused and looked at Chen Lan.

  Chen Lan finally said, "Lawyer Yu, since you want to take my case, then I have a request, can you help my husband also file a lawsuit?"

  Yu Liang looked embarrassed: "What case is your husband involved in, I haven't understood yet?"

   Zhang Wei knew this.

   He immediately came up, handed the file to Yu Liang, and said with a smile, "Hello, lawyer Yu, it happens to be Mr. Lin Xiao's case. I have the file here, you can take a look first."

  Yu Liang was curious about who Zhang Wei was, but he subconsciously made the result file, and when he saw the first page, his expression became a little unbearable.

   "What, the Eastern Metropolitan Prosecutor's Office has prosecuted you, and it's still manslaughter!"

   "You still pleaded guilty, how do you fight, aren't you joking?"

   "My God, the prosecution time is this week, and there is no time to prepare. Are you kidding me?"

   In a series of exclamations, Yu Liang's face became more and more ugly.

   "Hey, lawyer Yu, why does the office address on your business card say the 41st floor of United Financial Building?"

   And Zhang Wei was not idle either, Yuliang picked up his business card and read it again, and found an incredible piece of information.

   "Why, I'm working in the United Financial Building, what's wrong!" Yu Liang said, shaking his several thousand-dollar suit with a proud look on his face.

   "But I remember that on the 41st floor of the United Financial Building, one is a wedding photography company, the other is a psychiatrist's office, and only the third has a lawyer consulting service, and their main business is divorce litigation..."

   As soon as these words came out, Lin Xiao's expression changed greatly, Chen Lan's expression also fluctuated a little, and Yu Liang's pupils even widened.

   They never imagined that Zhang Wei had been to the 41st floor of the United Financial Building, and he had been there more than once. He had already memorized the business of the two companies on the same floor.

   But it's not surprising, after all, the wedding photography and the divorce company are in the same building opposite the door, so it's hard to remember such a conflicting picture.

   "Wife, is what he said true?" Lin Xiao couldn't help it, and immediately questioned.

  Chen Lan didn't speak, and Yu Liang didn't speak either.

   "Tell me, is it true, you want to divorce me, tell me!" Lin Xiao lost control again, and his emotions gradually became agitated.

   Fortunately, the handcuffs worked again, and he couldn't break free.

   "Lin Xiao, be quiet!" Outside the meeting, the staff on duty of the Wushu Association snorted coldly, bringing the excited Lin Xiao back to reality.

   Seeing that Lin Xiao was finally no longer excited, Chen Lan asked, "Lawyer Yu, about my husband's case, can you..."

   "Sorry, no one can fight this case!"

However, Yu Liang vetoed: "Let your husband plead guilty earlier, I can communicate with the prosecution to see if I can seek a commutation of the sentence. But the opponent is the East Metropolitan Prosecutor's Office, not the district prosecutor's office in other jurisdictions, your husband is very likely You have to spend a maximum of 7 years in prison, with no reduction for a year."

   "Lawyer, is there really no way?"

"How could it be possible? The headquarters of the local prosecutor's office is not something I can afford. My main business is divorce litigation, and criminal cases are not my specialty. You should find a public interest lawyer for your husband. Maybe the effect is better than mine. ."

  Zhang Wei, however, saw that there was a needle, and interjected: "A public interest lawyer generally handles 20-30 cases at the same time, and the focus on each case is not too high. If you want to find a public interest lawyer, you must think clearly about the consequences."

   may have noticed that Zhang Wei's words were exaggerated, and Yu Liang immediately denied it: "Not so many, ordinary public interest lawyers will only accept 10-20 cases at a time, and those who accept 30 cases are actually very few."

  This... Saying it means not saying it.

   Whether it is 30 cases, 20 cases, or 10 cases, it means that public interest lawyers will not focus on one case.

  Chen Lan and Lin Xiao both felt the difficulty.

   "Lawyer Yu..."

   "Forget it, I'm not going to do your case, I want to help your husband file a lawsuit, you can ask another clever man!"

  Yu Liang couldn't stand Chen Lan anymore, so he got up and left.

   "Lawyer Yu, how can you do this, I'm the client?"

   "But your request is too difficult. Our lawyers can refuse any unreasonable request from our clients. Isn't it just embarrassing me when you ask me to fight with the local prosecutor's office?"

   Yu Liang left without looking back, slamming the door and leaving.

   "This..." Chen Lan looked at Yu Liang who was leaving, then looked at Lin Xiao again, not knowing what to say for a while.

   "You two, you actually still have me!" Zhang Wei interjected at this time.

   He knew it was time to act.

   "You don't think public interest lawyers are reliable. In fact, I think so too, but I'm different from them. I only take one case at a time. Do you want to consider me?"

"The prestige of the East Metropolitan Prosecutor's Office, if you ask any lawyer, they will basically persuade you to admit your guilt. Anyway, few lawyers dare to provoke them, but I am different. I will help Mr. Lin defend his innocence. ."

"Right now, there are three options in front of you, either hire a public interest lawyer, but they will make you plead guilty, and Mr. Lin will go to jail; or ask me, I will help you defend your innocence and will not charge your lawyer fees; Either don't invite anyone and just wait for the prosecution to prosecute and pronounce the sentence, then Mr. Lin will definitely go to jail..."

   "Okay, I'll ask you to be a lawyer!"

  Lin Xiao looked at Zhang Wei as if a dead horse was a living horse doctor.

   "Thank you for trusting me, Mr. Lin, then let's sit down and have a good chat."

   "It happened that your wife was there. As the first witness in this case, I just wanted to know about the situation at that time."

  Zhang Wei stayed at the meeting for a long time before leaving.

   When he left the Wushu Association Detention Center, it was more than an hour later.

After    walked out of the detention center, Zhang Hui had a sad face.

   "Sister, what do you do next?"

   "What else can I do? Just follow the plan. I will initiate a pre-trial motion again and submit an application for withdrawal, but at that time, I will ask you to admit your mistake, senpai."

   "I know, I'll take the initiative to admit I'm wrong."

   "However, I don't think it's very likely, because the prosecutors in the misdemeanor department rarely file serious cases. I don't think they will give up this lawsuit!"

   "Then, what then?"

   "Of course, the soldiers will come to block it, and the water will cover it up. Just to see how good the prosecutor Tan Yingying is!"

   Zhang Wei said with a certain brilliance in his eyes.

  …

   The next day.

  Oriental Metropolitan Court, small court on the 3rd floor.

   Zhang Wei came to the court early in the morning, but to his surprise, people from the District Prosecution Headquarters also came.

  In the courtroom, Tan Yingying was sitting in the prosecution seat, and there was a girl next to her.

   "Sister Lily, that's him!" Tan Yingying saw Zhang Wei come in, and quickly said to the girl beside her.

   The next moment, Zhang Wei felt a chill.

   I saw the girl beside Tan Yingying turned around, a pair of cold eyes staring at Zhang Wei, her eyes seemed to turn into a sharp blade, trying to pierce him.

   "What a cold killing intent, this woman treats me as an enemy?!"

   Feeling this momentum, Zhang Wei understood.

   But his face was not afraid, instead he looked at the girl beside Tan Yingying.

   I have to say that this girl is very beautiful, tall and curvy, with a black uniform, a proper black long straight beauty.

  If Xia Qianyue is a young, beautiful and energetic treasure girl, then the girl in front of her is an ice queen who is proud of Xue Hanshuang and would rather not bend.

   "Zhang Wei, you're here too!" But suddenly, a familiar voice sounded outside the courtroom, and Xia Qianyue actually came too.

   "Hanhan, are you coming to see me in court?"

   "No, I'm here to find Xiao Baihe. I only came after I heard that she came to the court."

  Xia Qianyue said, and pointed to the black long straight beside Tan Yingying.

   "Xiao Baihe, the ace of the Serious Crime Division of the District Prosecution Headquarters!"

   Hearing Xiao Baihe's name, Zhang Wei's expression became clear.

   This is a rising star in the judicial world of the Eastern Capital. As long as he is involved in criminal defense, there is no one who does not know his name.

   It seems that this prosecutor Xiao Baihe wants to know Tan Yingying.

   "Xiao Baihe, he is the Zhang Wei I mentioned to you, there seems to be a misunderstanding between you..."

   "Actually, there's no misunderstanding, right? Everyone knows each other twice, right? Prosecutor Tan, and the famous Prosecutor Xiao."

   Zhang Wei hurriedly came up and greeted Tan Yingying and Xiao Baihe.

  It's a pity that the two of them didn't appreciate it. Tan Yingying looked at the side, while Xiao Baihe just snorted coldly, ignoring her greetings to Xia Qianyue.

   "Zhang Wei, Xiao Baihe is like this, don't worry about it." Xia Qianyue waved her hand pretending to be very generous, and explained something to Zhang Wei.

   "I see." Zhang Wei also smiled, pulling Xia Qianyue to the side, keeping a distance from Xiao Baihe.

  Although Xia Qianyue didn't seem to see anything, Zhang Wei felt that Xiao Baihe's attitude towards the two was very cold.

   He won't stick his hot face to each other's cold ass, not even a black long straight beauty!

  He also wants to save face!

   "Zhang Wei, you and Xiao Baihe are in a lawsuit, will there be pressure? I heard that she is the trump card of the local inspection headquarters. If you confront her..."

   "Hanhan, don't worry, this time my opponent is Prosecutor Tan Yingying, and Xiao Baihe is not the chief lawyer of the prosecution. Besides, even if Xiao Baihe really comes, I'm not afraid of her!"

   Zhang Wei showed enough confidence to comfort Xia Qianyue.

   Soon, Zhang Hui also came, and the court time was approaching.

  When the people of the Wushu Association escorted Lin Xiao, and Lin Xiao's chess piece Chen Lan also accompanied him to the scene, the trial entered the pre-trial stage.

   "Judge Wang is invited to enter!" Someone in the courtroom said loudly at the court hearing.

   saw an old man with white hair, wearing a pure black judge's robe, striding to the judgment seat.

   "It's actually Pharaoh!" Seeing the old man, Xiao Baihe raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and a look of expression flashed between his eyebrows.

  Because the judge of this trial is a person who pays attention to tradition, once the defendant is found guilty, then the form is beneficial to the prosecution.

   And the defendant has already pleaded guilty!

   "Old style glasses, no other objects on the body, from the analysis of age and behavior, this judge is more traditional, like a stereotyped person, the form is good for me!"

   On the other hand, Zhang Wei was also analyzing the judge through his every move, and finally there was a look in his eyes.

   is very confident!

   Both sides are confident.

   "Isn't this Prosecutor Xiao Baihe, why are you here?"

After Judge Wang sat in the court, he glanced at the prosecution seat and was a little surprised.

   "Your Majesty, I'm just a foil. Today's protagonist is my fellow junior sister Tan Yingying, prosecutor, please don't mind me!" Xiao Baihe quickly said modestly, and pushed out Tan Yingying next to her.

  The judge smiled: "It's very difficult to make me not pay attention to a ace prosecutor at the trial scene."

   But he quickly restrained his smile and said solemnly: "Okay, today is the pre-trial stage. Both of you need to assert the reasons for the defense and explain the defense application. Is there anything that needs to be added?"

  Tan Yingying picked up the document in her hand and was just about to speak, but Zhang Wei, who was on the side, rushed to speak: "Your Excellency Judge, we are going to initiate a pretrial motion to revoke my client's confession as evidence!"

   "Oh?" Judge Wang was really surprised that there were still people doing this.

   On the prosecution table, Tan Yingying was also shocked, and hurriedly looked at Xiao Baihe beside her.

   After a while.

   Zhang Hui stood on the witness stand and accepted Zhang Wei's question.

   "Sister Zhang Hui, was it you who made the defendant plead guilty?"

"Yes."

   "Have you explained to the defendant that his choice is not only to plead guilty, but also bail and innocence."

   "Only said bail."

"why?"

   "Because of the urgency of time, I did not inform the defendant of all the circumstances, but only gave selective explanations."

   "Then the prosecution gave the defendant another choice, that is, he insisted on declaring his innocence, but you still ignored this request and just asked him to plead guilty?"

   "Not informed."

   "Did you make the defendant plead guilty for something he didn't do?"

   "I think so, because I think it's the best option for the defendant given the defendant's situation at the time."

  Zhang Wei nodded and looked at the judge: "Your Excellency, the situation at the time was like this. We applied to withdraw this invalid confession as invalid evidence!"

   "Your Honor, the prosecution disagrees!"

   Seeing Tan Yingying standing up at Xiao Baihe's urging, Zhang Wei had expected it.
