Crazy, You Call This a Trainee Lawyer

  Chapter 334 The story of the light bulb, the moral bottom line?

   Court scene.

   Jury screening has begun.

   And this time, it was Lan Zhengye of the prosecution who asked the question.

   "Excuse me, everyone, what would you do if you heard someone nearby plotting to attack our embassy abroad when you were traveling abroad?"

   "A, immediately take a photo of the conspirators, find the embassy abroad, and inform the staff in the embassy about the photo and everything you heard."

   "B, as if you didn't hear it, because they may just be joking casually, and they can't make a hard trip for two people who may be bragging."

  Lan Zhengye said, looking towards the jury bench.

   "Please raise your hand for those who choose A!"

   On the jury bench, many people looked left and right, some people hesitated and then raised their hands.

   But there were also a few people who raised their hands right after Lan Zhengye's voice fell.

   "So the rest of you, you all choose B by default?" Lan Zhengye then asked.

   These people looked left and right, and after realizing that they seemed a little embarrassed, a few people slowly raised their hands.

   He knew what he knew, and immediately turned his head: "Your Excellency, the prosecution rejects jurors No. 2, No. 3, No. 5, No. 6, No. 8, No. 9!"

   Judge Chen nodded and took a pen to record one or two.

   The purpose of this question is so obvious that as long as you are not a fool, you can hear the underlying meaning of the question.

   "Lawyer Zhang, do you want to ask a question?"

   After screening out 6 candidate jurors at once, Lan Zhengye suddenly looked at the defense seat.

   "The question asked by the High Commissioner is very good, the defense has no opinion, and the defense even thinks you can continue!"

   Zhang Wei acted very abnormally at the moment, almost responding with a smile.

   This scene surprised everyone who knew him.

   You don't object and don't even think about asking questions?

  Have you been taken away, or did you take the wrong medicine today?

   Is this still the Zhang Wei who likes to ask fancy questions and play tricks the most when screening the jury?

   Something is wrong!

   is very wrong!

   At least the three people on the prosecution bench are talking to each other right now.

   "What's the matter, is this still that Zhang Wei?"

  Lu Wenwen had only fought Zhang Wei once, so she was a little puzzled.

   "I don't know?" Tan Yingying pushed her eyes, a little confused.

   "This guy must be plotting something!" Xiao Baihe crossed his arms and put on an expression of "I expected him to do something bad".

   But does Zhang Wei really have other plans?

   Couldn't he suddenly come on a whim and go with the prosecution together?

   These ideas, no one in the court knows.

   In other words, many people don’t think so.

   And Lan Zhengye, seeing Zhang Weizhen, didn't plan to get up and interrupt himself, so he continued to ask questions.

   "Cough, everyone, continue with the question just now!"

  Lan Zhengye walked to the jury and said with a smile, "I know that many people raised their hands just now. You all choose A by default, right?"

"Then if, I mean, if you are going to report this matter, but someone from the embassy abroad tells you that the matter you report is serious and requires 24 hours of verification time, please cooperate within these 24 hours. We, don't leave the embassy."

   "Even 24 hours later, if we, together with the local law enforcement agencies, catch the people who threatened to attack the embassy, ​​and we need your on-call testimony against these people, will you continue to report them?"

   "Please raise your hand for those who choose to continue!"

   This time, fewer people raised their hands.

   Because this is too much trouble.

   If it was me, I was traveling abroad, and I heard two people get nervous and threatened to bomb the embassy. Maybe the most they can do is to stay away from the embassy when traveling.

   As Lan Zhengye said, it takes so much time and energy to testify against those two people.

   This is too much trouble and waste of time.

   They think they can't do it themselves.

  Lan Zhengye looked at the few people who raised their hands, and already knew it.

   "Sir, you always raised your hand at the first time. Why did you do this?"

   "Because I retired from the War Department, the Dragon Country is my home, and I don't see anyone wanting to do anything wrong to my home!"

   The man's answer was decisive, his expression solemn and solemn.

   "Your Honor, the prosecution accepts juror number 3!"

  Lan Zhengye immediately nodded to the trial seat and glanced at the defense seat at the same time.

   "Your Honor, the defense also accepts!"

   Something beyond Lan Zhengye's expectations happened, and Zhang Wei actually agreed.

   He doesn't understand, do you agree?

   You wish that your client would die sooner, right?

  This juror No. 3 has a background in the war department and is so patriotic. He remains in the jury and is likely to become a person who influences the jury's decision-making.

   Even if he is not the chief juror, if others want to negotiate, they will have some scruples about his existence.

   You really don't object?

   Well, Zhang Wei didn't object, and smiled and nodded with Lan Zhengye.

  I don't know, I thought they were old friends for many years.

   "Prosecutor, do you want to continue asking questions?"

   In the judgment seat, Lao Chen also asked.

   At the same time, he was also puzzled, Zhang Wei didn't show his performance, what's the situation?

   In previous cases, didn’t you, Zhang Wei, want to ask questions continuously and use various questions to screen your intended jurors?

  Why are you so honest today?

  I don't know, do you think you are a good boy?

same.

In the hearing box, Guo Wufeng and Zhao Chunming also looked at each other.

   There was a trace of confusion in the eyes of the two of them.

   They thought that facing four people today, Zhang Wei would be full of firepower from the beginning.

   But I never expected that Zhang Wei would be so "honest", as if he had given up his resistance and let the prosecution do whatever they want.

   "This kid must be planning some kind of conspiracy!" Guo Wufeng was overwhelmed by Zhang Wei, and immediately guessed in the worst direction.

   "Maybe, is he really afraid?" Zhao Chunming frowned and began to wonder if there was such a possibility.

   But he quickly shook his head, if Zhang Weizhen would compromise like this, how could he become the enemy of the local prosecutor's headquarters.

   Without mentioning what other people thought, Lan Zhengye in the courtroom asked a few more questions in a row, but the purpose was almost the same.

   is all to choose people who have a heart of awe for the Dragon Kingdom.

   And under his question, the jury removed some people and kept some people.

   Those who stayed were all the jurors that Lan Zhengye needed, but Zhang Wei surprisingly did not object.

   In this case, the jury is almost finalizing the candidate.

   "This is the end of the prosecution's speech!"

  Lan Zhengye said, and finally did not want to ask questions, because he felt that enough jurors for the prosecution had been left.

  Lan Zhengye even thought that Zhang Wei was out of his mind.

   As far as the jury I chose, even if you grow three heads and six arms, you can't turn it over.

   Are you doing this on purpose?

   Knowing that we can’t win, we deliberately exposed flaws in our work, so that we can win easily?

  Lan Zhengye had to wonder if Zhang Wei really didn't plan to make a comeback, and even gave up resistance.

   "Defense?" Judge Chen urged.

   Zhang Wei got up slowly, walked to the center of the courtroom like a stroll, and even tidied up his collar.

   "Cough cough, the question asked by Gao Lan just now is very good. I believe that everyone who stays will have a pure heart for our Dragon Kingdom, right?"

   He laughed, and then changed his words: "Of course, we also know that everyone who didn't hug has been kicked out by him."

   For a time, the jury laughed.

  Look at you guy, this joke really amused us all.

   Zhang Wei then raised another finger, "Since everyone is happy, then let me tell you a little story?"

   "Ahem, please listen carefully, there used to be a light bulb manufacturer, they wanted to make the most durable light bulb in the world, and they are also working in this direction."

   "After several years of development, they succeeded and made the most durable light bulb in the world. Do you know how durable this light bulb is?"

   Zhang Wei said this, looked at the jury, and the jury also looked at him.

   This is your story, how do we know how durable it is?

   "In fact, after the company made the most durable light bulb, they did an experiment under the watchful eye of the media. Powering the light bulb until it reached its limit was what the experiment was all about."

   "And this limit is over 10 years, over 20 years, and even 100 years later, that light bulb is still on!"

   Having said that, Zhang Wei smiled.

  The jury looked at each other.

  What light bulb, so durable?

  It can still be used after 100 years, if it is not extinguished, won't the filament burn out?

   "But you know what?"

   Zhang Wei then said, "The company's performance in the first year, because it invented the most durable light bulb, so it made a lot of money, and the bosses also made a fortune."

   "But in the second year, the company's share was only 50% of the first year, the third year was even lower than 10%, and the fourth year's share was even 0!"

   Having said this, Zhang Wei's face suddenly became serious, "In the fifth year, this company declared bankruptcy after losing revenue continuously because it couldn't sell a light bulb!"

   "This light bulb company has left something known to the world, only the light bulb that has been on for a hundred years and has not been extinguished, that's all!"

   Hearing this, the jury was not happy either.

   They heard the meaning of the story, but felt that the story was unreasonable.

   What company, after the huge drop in turnover in the second year, did not reflect on it in time?

   If they reflect earlier, wouldn’t they be able to spot the problem earlier?

   "Cough, this story isn't over yet!" At this moment, Zhang Wei coughed.

   "After the collapse of this light bulb company, several new light bulb companies appeared in the city, and they all defaulted to an unspoken rule, that the light bulbs produced do not need to be durable or even increase the service life."

   "The light bulbs they produce have a service life of only one year, and some are even scrapped in half a year. However, their company's turnover is increasing year by year, and the light bulbs they sell every year are much more than last year."

   "Okay, everyone, this story is over, I believe you should have heard something, right?"

   On the jury, many people had different expressions.

   They did hear something.

  For example, the later light bulb company, what decision did they make?

  They compress the life of the product, compress the quality of the product, and make the service life of the bulb into a year or even half a year.

   In this way, people who have bought light bulbs will continue to buy them the next year, and continue to do so, until new products appear to replace their light bulbs.

   Although doing this seems to be sacrificing the customer's wallet, making them need to pay for the replacement of the light bulb all the time, but in exchange for the long-term benefit of the company.

  Is this right?

   At least from the point of view of consumers, this is actually wrong, because the products sold by light bulb companies are all defective, and they are all things that cannot be used.

   "Cough cough..."

   At this moment, Judge Chen on the bench had an opinion.

   I asked you to ask questions, not tell a story.

   And I asked you to go to court to screen the jury. You are so good, tell me the story of the zb family here.

   "Lawyer Zhang, please ask questions carefully, and you haven't used the opportunity to screen the jury even once!"

   Judge Chen said, and pointed to the notebook.

   Up to now, the number of times Zhang Wei has used the defense to dismiss the jury is still 0!

   This is not normal!

   "Oh, sorry, Judge Chen, I'll screen the jury now!"

   He said, looking at the jury, his eyes wandering around the candidate jury.

   "The defense requests the exclusion of jurors No. 13, 15, 19, 20, 21, and 24, thank you for their participation!"

   All of a sudden, six jurors were eliminated, which seemed a bit perfunctory.

   It's like the judge is forcing you, you can't just choose six people, it's like pretending.

   But is Zhang Wei such a person?

   is not.

   In fact, he had noticed these people long ago, and the story he just told was not meaningless.

   And the six people who were eliminated didn't have any feelings about the story, so naturally they were not the jurors Zhang Wei needed.

   But outsiders don't know what he thinks.

   Judge Chen on the bench at this moment just picked up a pen and recorded the jurors who were removed.

   Six people left, and the jury was officially finalized.

   "Very good, now we have the right jury!"

   Lao Chen said, his eyes swept over the prosecution and defense.

"Now we have a question, and that is the time of the next court session. I have a court session tomorrow morning and another court in the afternoon, but that afternoon session is the finishing touch, and the prosecution has already said its closing arguments. So I ask you, Would you like to have court tomorrow at 4 pm, or arrange it on Friday, but I need to wait until tomorrow to confirm another time."

   "Your Excellency Judge, the prosecution has no objection to the trial tomorrow, and strongly hopes that the trial will be held as soon as possible, because the members of the Investigation Section and the Special Operations Team have been busy for a month in this case, and they all hope to end the case as soon as possible!"

  Lan Zhengye naturally has no objection, and even strongly supports it.

   "Where's the defense?"

   "We have no opinion, because my client, Dr. Qian, also wants to prove his innocence early!"

   Zhang Wei naturally did not object.

   "Okay then, the court will start at 4 pm tomorrow, please don't be late for both of you, let's dissolve now!"

  Old Chen struck the hammer, and the courts began to dissolve one after another.

   "Lawyer Zhang, I..."

   On the defense table, Dr. Qian opened his mouth, but before he finished speaking, he was directly blocked by Xia Qianjun.

   "People, we're going to take it away!"

   "Uncle, isn't it? Is he going back to Iron Island Prison again?"

   "That's not necessary. During the trial, he will be held in the safe house of our special operations team!"

   "Safe House?"

   Hearing these three words, Zhang Wei murmured in his heart.

  Closing the safe house of good people is generally not safe.

"In order to prevent the safe house from leaking, we will take him away immediately, and you should not try to contact him during this period. We will bring him to the court 30 minutes before the trial. Your communication is limited to the court preparation room. a place!"

   "Do you want to be so strict?"

   "This is the rule!"

   After Xia Qianjun finished speaking, he winked at Luo Qi and Gao Yang, and the three of them left Dr. Qian.

   The four walked in a hurry, leaving no trace.

   "It's a pity, I'm still thinking of asking my uncle to open a small door for me!"

  Zhang Wei watched the four of them leave, a little helpless.

   "Let's go too and prepare for tomorrow's trial!"

   Zhang Wei said, glanced at the prosecution seat, and met Lan Zhengye, Lu Wenwen and others.

   Lan Zhengye nodded to Zhang Wei, who naturally nodded in return.

   The two of them were polite.

   However, Lu Wenwen, who was beside Lan Zhengye, looked a lot less good, and Xiao Baihe gave Zhang Wei a vicious look.

   As for Tan Yingying, she kept her head down, how dare she look at Zhang Wei?

   But after walking out of the court, an unexpected person appeared.

   "Lawyer Zhang, it's getting late, why don't you come with me?"

  Hua is extraordinary, he waited at the door, even waiting for Zhang Wei.

   "It's still early, how long before 8 o'clock?"

   "There is something I want to tell you on the way."

"this…"

   Zhang Wei hesitated.

  Hua Chaofan finds himself, absolutely nothing good.

   But he thought for a while, then glanced at Xia Qianyue and the others.

   "You guys go back first, I have an appointment for dinner tonight."

   "Zhang Wei, he is not a good person!" Xia Qianyue was a little worried.

   "Relax, there are no absolute good and bad people in this world!"

   Zhang Wei comforted him, indicating that Xia Qianyue didn't need to worry.

   When the others left one after another, Zhang Wei set off with Hua Chaofan.

  Hua's extraordinary car is parked at the back door of the courthouse. It is a luxury extended car and even has a dedicated driver.

   in the car.

   "Lawyer Zhang is right, there are no absolute good people and bad people in this world!"

   "Mr. Hua, our time is limited. From here to Dongjiang Star, it won't take long!"

   Zhang Wei looked out the window, but his words reminded the other party to pay attention to the time.

   "Hahaha, Lawyer Zhang really speaks quickly!"

  Hua Chaofan handed a stack of documents directly to Zhang Wei.

"This is…"

   "You'll know when you open it!"

   Zhang Wei opened the document and found that many of them were the information of the senior management of Pioneer Medical Technology Group.

   "These are the targets that I think can be threatened. Among them, Chen Xianfeng's son-in-law has the highest position, and he is also the person I think can be threatened the most!"

  Hua Chaofan pointed to the top folder and said with a smile, "I didn't expect this guy to be Chen Xianfeng's son-in-law, and he would dare to raise a woman outside."

   "If Chen Xianfeng found out about this, he would definitely not be able to eat it and walk away!"

   Zhang Wei narrowed his eyes and looked at Hua Chaofan.

   "You want me to blackmail the prosecution's witnesses?"

  Hua Chaofeng smiled slightly: "I have always believed that an excellent criminal defense lawyer like Lawyer Zhang has a flexible moral bottom line!"

   Of course, this is a high emotional intelligence statement.

   Low EQ, that is, you have no bottom line.
