Crazy, You Call This a Trainee Lawyer

   Chapter 298 Are you all watching the show? You can only prove yourself without playing cards?

  Wednesday, court day.

   District Inspection Headquarters, High Inspection Office.

   Lan Zhengye was interrupted by a knock on the door as soon as he picked up the coffee in his hand.

"Come in!"

The door to the    office opened, and a woman walked in.

   "Senior Brother!"

   "Well, Junior Sister Lu?"

  Lan Zhengye hurriedly put down the coffee in his hand, and then looked at the person who came.

   This person is none other than Lu Wenwen, the senior prosecutor of the South Island District Prosecutor's Office.

   She has another identity, the daughter of Judge Lu Zhengting of the South Island Court, and also... Zhang Wei's defeated general

   This last identity, Lan Zhengye also has, both of them have lost to Zhang Wei.

   "Junior sister, why are you here?"

   "Senior brother, I applied for a transfer order at the end of last month, and now I have passed it. I will officially come to the Eastern Metropolitan Inspection Headquarters in the middle of the month!"

  Lu Wenwen said, a little bit of joy flashed across her face.

  Although he was transferred from the South Island Prosecutor's Office to the Eastern Metropolitan Prosecutorial Headquarters, his position was still a high-level procurator, and it was a level transfer.

   But everyone knows that the transfer from the General Administration of South Island to Dongfangdu, or the No. 1 District Inspection Headquarters in the South, is actually an "upgrade".

   Moreover, for Lu Wenwen, there is another meaning of joining the land inspection headquarters, that is, she can be a colleague with her senior brother.

   "Congratulations, Junior Sister, we will be colleagues from now on!"

  Lan Zhengye smiled and congratulated.

   "By the way, Senior Brother, I did some homework before I came and found out that you have a case, and the opponent is that Zhang Wei!"

   When referring to Zhang Wei, whether it was Lan Zhengye or Lu Wenwen, there was a hint of embarrassment on their faces.

   There is no way, both of them have lost to this person before, and they are both defeated by the other side.

   This record is really disgraceful.

   "Junior sister also heard about it?"

   mentioned Zhang Wei, Lan Zhengye immediately came to the spirit.

   "Yes, you heard it right, there is indeed a case in our headquarters, and the opponent is Zhang Wei!"

   "Furthermore, the prosecutor of this case is Lao Guo, the director of the office. Judging from the current situation of this case, the defense should have no chance!"

   Lan Zhengye didn't dare to say too sure, but the curvature of the corners of his mouth raised naturally betrayed him.

   Judging from his years of trial experience, this case should not be fought.

   Even if Zhang Wei defends his client's guilt, the concessions he can obtain are limited.

   And in Monday's trial, the advantage can almost be said to be on the prosecution's side.

   "By the way, brother, today is the second court session, shall we go and see it?"

  Lu Wenwen suddenly became interested, and dragged Lan Zhengye out of the door.

   "This is a tough battle for our Prosecution Headquarters, and the opponent is that Zhang Wei. I will definitely not be absent. If we can win today, our District Prosecution Headquarters will be proud!"

   "Junior sister, don't pull me, I'll definitely watch it. What are you pulling me for?"

  Lu Wenwen dragged Lan Zhengye out of the high inspection office.

   On the second floor of the Serious Crime Section, in the supervisor's office, Zhao Chunming was also talking to Guo Wufeng.

   "Old Guo, this time it's all up to you!"

   "Don't worry, Lao Zhao, this time I will let him severely frustrate that kid's spirit and let him know that not everyone in our local inspection headquarters can provoke him!"

   Guo Wufeng said with a solemn look on his face, his expression extremely serious.

   In today's court session, the opponent is Zhang Wei, and their headquarters is about to win this difficult victory.

   All this is worth it, because the person they are going to defeat is the guy who brings them countless cold eyes.

   "That's good, I won't say more, I'll let the whole office come over to cheer you on!"

   Zhao Chunming and Guo Wufeng nodded solemnly, then walked outside.

"Listen to me, today's court trial is the most important battle in our headquarters. Anyone without a case in hand is not allowed to be absent. Even if you go to the auditorium to sit, you must witness to me until the last moment! "

   "Understood, Director!"

   "Speak louder, I didn't eat!"

   "Understood, Director!!!"

   Hearing the subordinates in the entire office responded loudly, Zhao Chunming nodded with satisfaction: "This is almost the same!"

As he walked back to the office, he said loudly: "We are the prosecutors of the District Prosecution Headquarters, and we are the party representing justice. If we can't show our spirit, how can we explain to the citizens of the entire Oriental Capital, and how can we be worthy of you? Holy mission!"

   "The supervisor is talking again!"

  In the corner, Tan Yingying approached Xiao Baihe and whispered forcefully.

   "Sister Lily, do you have a case on hand, do you want to audit it?"

   "Of course, this is Zhang Wei's case, and he is likely to experience the first tragic failure in his life. How can I be absent?"

  Xiao Baihe said with a sarcastic smile on the corner of his mouth.

  I really want to see Zhang Wei's face when he loses a lawsuit for the first time.

   That must be wonderful...

  …

   City Court, a preparation room.

  Zhang Wei is having a final conversation with his client, Gao Xiaoping.

   Of course, the content of the conversation was more of a warning.

"Ms. Gao, although I know it's inappropriate to say this, I still want to remind you that, as your defense lawyer, if you lose control in court, I will not rule out letting you leave the court again and go to the next conference room to calm down. !"

   "If the trial ends today and I'm going to be sentenced to jail, what do I say?"

   When Gao Xiaoping thought that the result of the trial might be jail time, her mood instantly became much worse, and her complexion changed.

   "Then what if I assure you that today's trial will surely save you from danger?"

   "Turn danger into safety?"

  What Gao Xiaoping wanted to hear was to ensure that she would not go to jail.

   But lawyers can never guarantee this in terms of regulations. They can only use words such as "recovery from danger" and play some word games.

   "Lawyer Zhang, then let me tell you, as long as I don't go to jail, everything else is easy to say!"

   "Got it, I promise you, you'll get the justice you deserve!"

   Seeing Zhang Wei's assurance, Gao Xiaoping breathed a sigh of relief.

  Although this guarantee seemed like she didn't say it, it at least reassured her.

   "Well, it's almost time, we can go to court to prepare!"

   Zhang Wei looked at the time, took Gao Xiaoping out of the preparation room, and walked into the courtroom.

   As soon as he came in, he felt a little pressure.

   Seeing the hearing box, countless sharp gazes swept over, like a murder weapon dagger, trying to pierce his whole body.

   These sights are mostly hostile.

   "Good guy, there are so many people here!"

   Zhang Wei looked up and saw many familiar faces sitting on the hearing booth.

   Zhao Chunming from the District Prosecutor's Headquarters will not talk about it, those newcomers are coming more than Monday.

   And in front of the newcomer team, Zhang Wei's old acquaintance, Xiao Baihe, Tan Yingying didn't say anything.

  I didn't expect that even the high inspector Lan Zhengye was here, and Lu Wenwen was sitting beside Lan Zhengye.

  When did the high prosecutor of the South Island come to audit the case of Dongfang Capital?

  In the hearing box, it can be said that a mighty group of prosecutors was sitting.

   The eyes they looked at Zhang Wei were surprisingly consistent.

   Contempt, ridicule, and a hint of sympathy.

   Apparently they all thought that Zhang Wei would lose today.

   In addition to the cheerleaders on the prosecution side, there were also many fellow lawyers sitting on the hearing bench.

   Some can be named, some can’t, and even some faces from the top ten lines appear.

   It seems that they are also very interested in Zhang Wei's possible "first defeat" and want to witness this moment.

   It can be said that although today’s case is not a major criminal case, it has attracted the attention of the lawyers in the entire Eastern Capital.

   These are still present at the scene, and there are obviously more lawyers who did not attend the scene in their own right, or who arranged for their staff to attend the scene.

   Just like the black-footed Hu Yaode, who had fought against Zhang Wei and even suffered a crushing defeat in his hands.

   Zhang Wei can conclude that this old man must have arranged for his subordinates to sit in on the scene, and there must be people with such thoughts on the scene.

   Zhang Wei took Gao Xiaoping to the defense seat.

   Guo Wufeng sneered and walked over.

   "Lawyer Zhang, how did you think yesterday, if your client wants to plead guilty, now is the deadline!"

   Zhang Wei got up and looked back at the hearing booth.

  Except for the first row where the friends came to grab a seat in advance, all the other seats were occupied by "bad intentions" people.

   "Old Guo, why is there such a thing, I don't know if you have heard a word, stay as a person and see you in the future."

   "Hahaha, stay on the line?"

   Guo Wufeng's lips hung a sneer: "For others, I may give them another chance, but for you Zhang Wei, let's not talk about it!"

   "Really?"

   "Really!"

   "Don't have to talk?"

   "No talk!"

   "Really not given a chance?"

   "Why are you talking so much nonsense!"

Guo Wufeng sneered and glanced at Gao Xiaoping, who was beside him, "Give me a nice word, either make your client plead guilty and sign our plea agreement, or wait for the verdict. Either way, she will be imprisoned for at least 5 years. Bad luck even 7 to 10 years!"

   Hearing this result, Gao Xiaoping's face collapsed.

   On the contrary, it was Zhang Wei with a calm expression.

   "Actually, what my client can accept is to plead guilty, plus a minimum period of 3 years, and 2 years of probation, with parole in the last year."

   "Humph, you are talking about a dream!"

   Guo Wufeng sneered when he heard Zhang Wei's request.

   plead guilty to 3 years in prison, 2 years probation plus the last 1 year can be parole, doesn’t it mean no jail time?

   If Guo Wufeng could agree to this condition, how could he have the face to meet his colleagues in the future?

   "That's how you treat your customers?"

   Guo Wufeng looked at Gao Xiaoping, but the latter did not say anything.

  What does this mean? It means that she acquiesced to Zhang Wei's speech.

   At this moment, Guo Wufeng understood, as well as the conditions of Zhang Wei and Gao Xiaoping.

   He sneered and said sarcastically: "Didn't we make a bet before? I, Guo Wufeng, put my words here today. If I agree to this condition, I will call you Dad on the spot!"

   After he finished speaking, he waved his hand and walked directly back to the prosecution seat.

   "Recognize Daddy, how do you know that someone is going to call Daddy today?"

   Zhang Wei touched his nose, a strange look appeared on his face.

   He always felt that today's court hearing would be wonderful.

  After 5 minutes, the court time finally came.

   "Stand up!"

  The court guard scrupulously abides by his duties and announces the admission of the judge.

   Judge Liu took small steps to the court.

   As soon as he sat down, he realized that something was wrong with the court today.

After    swept away, he secretly called out a good guy, and felt a little chill on his back.

   As soon as he looked at him, there were so many people in the hearing box, and they all showed serious expressions like they wanted to kill people.

Tremendous stress!

   No, it beats the mountain, just like the sky is falling.

   And this time, the sky is falling and there is no tall man to help him, so he has to do it himself.

   "I'm a little judge who just came from the countryside, a newcomer who just joined the criminal court, do you want to do this?"

  Liu said that he had to learn from Judge Ni Qiuping, because he was also depressed, the kind that could not be cured.

   This is just a case of illegal medical practice, not murder, murder, robbery, QJ, and arson. Do you need such a big battle?

   In front of the hearing booth, the high-level prosecutors from the District Prosecution Headquarters came.

   The lawyers of the ten major firms all have some people who he can call out by name.

   Not to mention that Zhao Chunming has been staring at him, putting too much pressure on him.

   But there is still work to be done, and he still has to announce.

   "What...the court session continues today!"

After    struck the gavel, Judge Liu suppressed the trace of fear in his heart, forced a smile from the corner of his mouth, and looked towards the defense table.

"However, this court has received a notice earlier that the witness Mr. He's wife was unable to come to the court due to his health condition, and he also needed to take care of his wife at home, so he was unable to be present today. This court is very sorry to inform you. Witnesses cannot be cross-examined at this time."

   "Your Excellency Judge, we naturally understand that Mr. He cannot be present, and we also support him to take care of his wife at home!"

   Zhang Wei expressed his opinion, which made Judge Liu nod his head in approval.

   All say that Zhang Wei is ruthless in his actions. Obviously everyone else is wrong. This lawyer is obviously a "good guy"!

   Even for the witnesses against the parties, he can generously understand, what is not a good person?

   "Well, does the prosecution still need to call new witnesses?"

   Judge Liu looked at Guo Wufeng again.

   "Your Excellency Judge, we have nothing to explain, and will end the proof!"

   Guo Wufeng has already achieved his goal, and naturally there is no need to give evidence to the defense.

   What he has to do next is to take a look at Zhang Wei's moves and try to win with stability.

   Therefore, it is also his plan to temporarily hand over the stage to Zhang Wei.

   "Okay, now that the prosecution has finished giving evidence, let the defense please!"

   Judge Liu made a "please" gesture, and Zhang Wei immediately got up.

   "Your Excellency the judge, and everyone in the courtroom, the defense summoned the defendant Gao Xiaoping to testify in court!"

   Zhang Wei's words did not surprise others.

  Because everyone knows that the most beneficial witness for the defendant is himself.

   Gao Xiaoping will go to court sooner or later, but I didn't expect that it was the defense's turn to testify, so they sent the most critical people directly.

   After Zhang Wei finished speaking, Gao Xiaoping got up and walked to the witness stand, and he also looked back at the hearing stand.

   Seeing Su Xiaoqian and other newcomers sitting in the first row, they all bowed their heads and looked ashamed.

   Because they also said yesterday that Zhang Wei has two cards to play, that is, the emotional card and the rational card.

   As a result, they wanted to go to Beichong Island to find someone to testify in court, and let the residents of Beichong Island go to court to tell about Gao Xiaoping.

   But what about the result?

   Yesterday, they went to Beichong Island, but they didn't find a single witness.

   It’s not because he’s busy or because it’s inconvenient, so they all go to the East to testify in court, and all of them refuse.

  Su Xiaoqian and other newcomers almost went from house to house to ask, but they didn't find anyone.

   In the end, they came back disappointed, but fortunately, Zhang Wei had already left by the end of get off work hours.

  Otherwise, Zhang Wei would have laughed when he saw their dejected faces.

  Similarly, Guo Wufeng in the prosecution booth showed a meaningful smile when he saw Zhang Wei let the defendant appear in court.

   "Yes, it was not what I expected!"

   He looked at Xiao Chen who was sitting next door, the latter also immediately understood and came over.

"Director Guo, after I went back on Monday, I followed your instructions and informed the local residents. I didn't talk to them about anything else, but said that the cost of going to Dongfang Capital should be borne by myself. Once the defense lawyer promised to pay, That is to bribe witnesses, and those who receive the money will go to jail, and now they are all shunned, and no one wants to do thankless things!"

   "Of course, defense lawyers can't bribe witnesses. Once discovered, it's a crime, and it's a serious crime. As for the gang of islanders, they will also think about whether it's worth it or not. Obviously they don't think it's worth it!"

   Guo Wufeng sneered, these are all things he expected.

  As Zhang Wei said, people are greedy and selfish. If the residents of Beichong Island really wanted to testify, they would have called his office long ago.

   First, they are afraid, and second, they are too troublesome. Of course, they will not come to the East to do thankless things.

   So, let’s not talk about playing cards.

   "Intellectual Card" and "Emotional Card", that's not one of them.

   Zhang Wei had no new witnesses at hand, so he could only summon the defendant to testify himself in court.

   "Ms. Gao, hello!"

"Hello!"

   Gao Xiaoping adjusted and answered Zhang Wei's question.

"I believe that everyone in the court actually has some misunderstandings about you, and today is your chance to explain these misunderstandings, so Ms. Gao, what do you want to say to the jury and everyone on the hearing stand? "

   Gao Xiaoping lowered her head and was silent for a while, looking at the jury and hearing benches.

  Unfortunately, what she saw was obviously not very good.

  Because of Monday's trial, neither the 12 jurors nor the limited audience in the hearing booth looked at her very friendly.

   After a while, she finally adjusted and said slowly: "Actually, I know that many people have misunderstood me."

   "I admit that after Beichong Island and Dongfang were merged, I had a certain rejection of the terms stipulated in the notice, which also caused me to have a certain disgust for going to Dongfang to get a license."

"Later, because I was busy with work, I couldn't find time to systematically test for licenses, because I had to take care of expectant mothers, and also help them with basic physical examinations, help them stabilize their babies, help them adjust their work and rest, and improve their diets, etc. Wait……"

   Gao Xiaoping began to explain.

   But Guo Wufeng, who was sitting on the prosecution seat, suddenly laughed, and sneered.

   "Excusements are all excuses. I'll come up and cross-examine later. I'll show you what cruelty is!"

   Lao Guo couldn't wait, he was already looking forward to the moment when he tore off Gao Xiaoping's mask.

   But he was also a little surprised. Zhang Wei obviously has the strength and can teach the client how to deal with the jury. Why didn't he do it?

   Could it be that he is also out of tune?
