Crazy, You Call This a Trainee Lawyer

  Chapter 40 I believe you are innocent! Bail court first confrontation

   Inside the detention center.

   Zhang Wei was looking through the case records word for word.

   In front of him is the awkward suspect Tang Chunfeng.

   At the next table, Tang Chunde and Tang's mother were equally restless and looked at Zhang Wei from time to time.

"Last Friday night at 11 o'clock, there was a robbery and murder case in the Xifengli community in the outer ring. The tenant Chen was brutally murdered in his home, and there were signs of forced entry. According to the clues left by the martial arts association at the scene, there was also the body of the deceased Chen. The remaining DNA was compared, and the suspect Tang Chunfeng was arrested two days later."

   "The witness in this case is the 8-year-old son of the deceased Chen Mou. After comparing the suspect's photos, he identified Tang Chunfeng as the murderer. The Dongfang Metropolitan Prosecutorial Headquarters prosecuted the suspect Tang Chunfeng for murder and robbery, and the trial will begin in two days."

   Zhang Wei put down the file and looked at Tang Chunfeng in front of him.

   To be honest, when he first saw the other party, he felt that the person in front of him was absolutely impossible to kill.

Why?

  Because a person is too bold, he can see it at a glance.

  This Tang Chunfeng is an honest child in the eyes of the public. He has made the biggest mistake since he was a child. Maybe he forgot to do his homework in school, or secretly hid "study materials" in the computer to see.

  It is hard to imagine that such a person dares to kill, and it is also burglary and murder.

   "I want to ask, are you short of money?" Zhang Wei looked at the other party and asked calmly.

   Although Tang Chunfeng was surprised, he still answered honestly: "I, I'm not short of money..."

   In fact, this is indeed the case. Although the Tang family is not very rich, the conditions are not bad.

  Before Tang’s father passed away, he left an old house in Central, more than 100 square meters, with a market value of more than 7 million.

   After graduating from Tang Chunfeng Medical College, he ran a dental clinic with a stable income. He himself has no bad habits. He does not smoke, drink, gamble, and has no shortcomings except that he has not married a wife in his thirties.

   is such a person, with such family conditions, how could he possibly commit burglary.

  Zhang Wei thought for a while, and then asked: "According to the testimony you provided to the Wushu Association, you left your clinic at 10 o'clock in the evening and then returned home alone, without anyone else with you?"

"Yes."

   "Did anyone see you coming home, like a doorman, like a neighbor?"

Tang Chunfeng glanced at his mother, shook his head and said, "My mother goes to bed early, and she usually goes to bed at 9:30 in the evening, so every time I go home, I do my best not to disturb her. Neighbors or something, I drive home and I can't see them."

   "So, there is no alibi."

   Zhang Wei's brows furrowed tightly, feeling a little tricky.

  Because the community where Tang Chunfeng lives is an old community, and there is no surveillance video installed in front of the house, it is difficult to prove that Tang Chunfeng returned home directly after get off work.

  Similarly, the Xifengli community where the deceased Chen lived is also an old community, and there is no surveillance video either.

   But this case does not need surveillance, the testimony of the deceased's son is sufficient.

  The only eyewitness now insists that the murderer is Tang Chunfeng, and it seems that there is nothing that can be done about this case.

  Tang Chunfeng seemed to see Zhang Wei's embarrassment, and immediately said: "Lawyer, I have never been to Xifengli Community, and it is even more impossible for me to know the deceased. I have no grievances with him, so why kill him?"

   "That's a good question, the same prosecutors must want to know, even I want to know!"

   Zhang Wei smiled, then looked at Tang Chunde and Tang's mother: "Are you sure you want to choose me, I can help him defend his innocence, but this will also lose the opportunity to plead guilty and reduce his sentence!"

   "This..." Tang Chunde hesitated.

  Because he found Zhang Wei, it was also a way to use a dead horse as a living horse doctor, but Zhang Weizhen agreed.

   "Let me remind you that if you choose to defend your innocence but lose the case in the end, it will be a life sentence."

"But if you choose to take the initiative to plead guilty, it is likely to be a 30-year prison sentence. Generally speaking, a lawyer will help you to get 27-28 years. A lawyer with some means may talk about 25 years. If it is a lawyer with more powerful means, you can even talk about it. to 20 years."

"If you let me talk to convince the family of the deceased to forgive, and add your mother's physical condition, the elderly need support and care, and the prosecutor who happened to prosecute has a little mercy, I may be able to talk about 15 years at most. "

   Having said this, Zhang Wei looked at Tang Chunfeng, "You are in your thirties now, and you will be 50 in 15 years, and you still have about 30 years of free time!"

   Hearing 15 years, Tang Chunde on the side was slightly moved, but Mother Tang shook her head.

  Tang Chunfeng was also a little moved at first. After seeing Tang's mother's performance, he immediately shook his head: "Lawyer, I want to plead not guilty, I don't want to plead guilty, because I haven't done it, why should I plead guilty!"

As he said that, he looked at Zhang Wei with a very serious tone: "I'm in my thirties now, my mother gave birth to me when I was almost 30 years old, and when I'm 50 years old, who can guarantee that I will still see me. I don’t want to leave regrets like this!”

   "Okay, I get it, and I also believe that you are innocent!" Zhang Wei glanced at Mother Tang and nodded, expressing his understanding.

   His words also surprised Tang Chunfeng for a moment.

  Because this is the first lawyer who said he believed in himself, and the other lawyers just wanted to plead guilty, and no one asked him if he had ever done that.

   Tang Chunfeng was moved to tears.

   Zhang Wei didn't feel much, just started to think about how to deal with this case.

  Since Tang Chunfeng's attitude is so firm, he can only choose to defend his innocence.

   And he was a little suspicious, if Tang Chunfeng didn't do this, who would it be?

   He wants to find out the real murderer and help the innocent person in front of him to clear his grievances.

   "Lawyer Zhang, can you come out for a moment..."

   But when Zhang Wei was about to continue his questioning, Tang Chunde suddenly called him.

   Zhang Wei and Zhang Chunde walked out of the meeting room and came to the corridor outside the door.

   "Lawyer Zhang, you said 15 years, are you serious?"

   "What, do you want your brother to confess?"

   "I'm thinking about..."

  Tang Chunde did not deny it, it seems that 15 years really moved him.

   Zhang Wei saw this and patted him on the shoulder: "Old Tang, did you make a mistake?"

"What's up?"

   "My client is not you, but your younger brother Tang Chunfeng. Why should I listen to your opinion?"

   As soon as these words came out, Tang Chunde realized that Zhang Wei was fighting for his younger brother, not him.

   "But, I called you here..."

   "But I'm a public defender, and I don't charge attorney fees, why should I listen to you?"

  Zhang Wei patted Tang Chunde on the shoulder again, and said earnestly: "Old Tang, I don't charge money, so no one can order me, I only speak for the facts, do you understand?"

   Then, when he returned to meet again, Tang Chunde was left alone with a stunned face.

  Meeting room.

   "Lawyer Zhang, what should we do next?"

   "It's very simple. Find a way to bail you out first. You can't help me in the detention center."

   "Bail, does it cost a lot of money?"

   "Then let me ask, how much can you pay?"

"This…"

   Tang Chunfeng and Mother Tang looked at Tang Chunde at the door at the same time, apparently this is the rich one now.

  …

at the same time.

  Eastern Metropolitan Prosecution Headquarters, Serious Crime Division.

  Compared to the crowded misdemeanor department, the office space of the felony department is at least twice as large, and the number of people in the office is similar, so everyone has a very spacious space.

  Even when new recruits are promoted to assistant prosecutors, each has an independent office.

   This is also the goal of many misdemeanor prosecutors. They dream of entering the felony department and can change to a more comfortable office space.

   "Sister Lily, it's not good, the big thing is bad!"

  Tan Yingying trotted all the way from the Misdemeanor Office to the Felony Division.

   "What's the matter, you're so panicked!" Xiao Baihe was working in the pile of documents, and when she heard the sound, she raised her head like an ostrich.

   "Sister Lily, the big thing is bad, Zhang Wei is taking over the case again!"

Tan Yingying shouted, but after seeing sharp eyes coming from all around, she quickly buried her body and moved to Xiao Baihe's side: "As you said, I kept staring at Zhang Wei, only to find that he has taken on another case. "

   "Yingying, he is a public defender now, isn't it normal to take cases?"

  Xiao Baihe felt that she had said the wrong thing at the beginning. She only asked Tan Yingying to keep an eye on Zhang Wei, and didn't say that she would not let go of big and small matters, right?

   "No, this time is not an ordinary case." Tan Yingying quickly shook her head, raised her head and pointed to the next table, and said, "This time Zhang Wei took over that case, the homicide case investigated by Prosecutor Wang in your office!"

   "That case?!" Xiao Baihe also reacted after hearing Tan Yingying's prompt.

   "Isn't Zhang Wei looking for abuse? He dares to take this case. Is he going to apply for a commutation?"

   "No, I heard that they want to plead not guilty, and now they are applying for bail for the suspect!"

   "Bail, are they stupid and have a lot of money?"

  Xiao Baihe was surprised, this case is all about innocence defense, Zhang Wei is crazy.

  If this case can be overturned, I, Xiao Baihe, will eat the computer screen in front of me on the spot!

   "Sister Yingying, what should we do?" Tan Yingying looked at Xiao Baihe, not knowing that someone set up a flag just now.

   "Go, go say hello to Wang Can and remind him to be careful!"

  Wang Can and Xiao Baihe are in the same office, and their desks are just a few meters apart.

  Wang Can is a young prosecutor of twenty-seven or eighteen years old. He wears a pair of gold-rimmed glasses and his eyes are as narrow as a fox, giving him a bit of a cunning look.

   "Yo, this is not our ace prosecutor, what are you doing here, guiding me in my work?"

  Although Wang Can and Xiao Baihe are at the adjacent table, Xiao Baihe's popularity in the whole office is not very good, so Wang Can is a bit yin and yang when greeting.

   It's no wonder that Xiao Baihe has only been in the District Prosecution Headquarters for a year, and he has already investigated and handled more than a dozen serious cases. His performance and conviction rate are the highest in the office, and he has refreshed the previous record for newcomers.

  's edge is too exposed, and he can't lift his head up with other people in the office, so he is also isolated by others.

   This is also the reason why Xiao Baihe and Tan Yingying can chat, because one of them is from the same town, and the other is from different offices.

  Xiao Baihe faced the strange greetings from Yin and Yang, and her face was frosty, but she still held back and did not attack.

   She just reminded coldly: "The suspect in your case hired a public defender, you have to be careful?"

"Public defender?" But Wang Can disagreed and sneered: "My case is so solid, it's useless for anyone to come, let alone a public defender, they don't charge lawyer fees, and they only want to make suspects. People plead guilty sooner!"

   "That lawyer's name is Zhang Wei!"

   "What about Zhang Wei, I don't know him... Wait, you said Zhang Wei!"

   Wang Can's expression changed a lot, from not caring at all at first, to a little reaction later, and finally to a little excited.

   He stood up abruptly, glanced at Tan Yingying, and then laughed: "Hahaha, are you sure, that Zhang Wei is going to take over the case I'm handling?"

   His voice was so loud that the entire felony office could hear him.

   The name "Zhang Wei" can be said to have been a shadow lingering over the headquarter of the District Inspection Headquarters during this period of time.

  Many prosecutors want to fight against Zhang Wei, in order to wash away the humiliation received by the District Prosecution Headquarters.

   And now, Zhang Wei has acted again, and he has also picked a case that he will lose without a doubt.

   "Zhang Wei, is it really him?"

   "Wang Can's case, is it the case of burglary and murder?"

   "It's incredible, the case that must be lost is still up for election, doesn't he want to give us face back?"

   The other prosecutors of the Serious Crime Division couldn't help but talk, whispering and whispering.

After    Wang Can shouted, he said to Xiao Baihe: "Xiao Baihe, I don't need you to remind me, I know what to do. If that Zhang Wei really takes over this case, watch me beat him to the core!"

After    finished speaking, he still didn't think it was too much fun. Looking at Tan Yingying, he meant something: "Originally, the new recruits can't represent our headquarters. If we want to talk about our headquarters, we have to look at our felony department!"

   "Wang Can, the bail court has an application!"

   "Hmph, did you really shoot!"

   Hearing the notification from his colleagues, Wang Can sneered, picked up the documents on the table and left.

   For Xiao Baihe's reminder, he obviously didn't take it to heart.

   "Sister Lily, we..."

   "Let's go, let's follow and see what Zhang Wei is going to do!"

  Tan Yingying wanted to say something, but Xiao Baihe pulled Tan Yingying up and left the office with Wang Can.

  …

   Bail Court.

   When Wang Can, the prosecutor, came to the bail court, Zhang Wei had been waiting for a long time.

   But when the two met, neither of them greeted the other.

   "Huh?" At the same time, Zhang Wei also saw Xiao Baihe and Tan Yingying who came with Wang Can.

   For these two, Zhang Wei smiled at each other.

   But his smile, in Tan Yingying's eyes, was like a ghost of hell, which made the latter shiver.

   Obviously, Zhang Wei left an indelible psychological shadow on the newcomers during the confrontation at the beginning of the trial.

  Xiao Baihe sensed Tan Yingying's fear, so she quickly comforted her, and gave Zhang Wei a vicious look back at the same time.

   But at this moment, Zhang Wei had already started preparing for bail and ignored her.

   The bail court was very busy, and there were a lot of people lined up in front of them. It wasn’t until 30 minutes later that it was Zhang Wei’s turn.

   "Your Majesty, the prosecution believes that the defendant Tang Chunfeng cannot be released on bail. He committed the crime of intentional homicide. The circumstances are extremely serious. Once released on bail, there is a great possibility of absconding!"

   Wang Can, as a prosecutor, pointed at Tang Chunfeng and said harshly.

   "Your Majesty, I think the prosecution's judgment is extremely absurd!" Zhang Wei did not agree, and looked at Wang Can, and said slowly:

"My client, Mr. Tang Chunfeng, is just an ordinary suspect. Although he has been prosecuted, the court has not yet prosecuted him. The criminal suspect is different from the criminal known to the public, according to the principle of presumption of innocence. , unless proven guilty by trial, the suspects are theoretically innocent, why the prosecution insists that our client is guilty, this is obviously an extremely immoral charge."

Judge    gave Wang Can a meaningful look, and nodded subconsciously for Zhang Wei's words.

   "That's right, then this court has decided that Tang Chunfeng will allow bail."

   Behind, Xiao Baihe secretly said, sure enough.

  Wang Can had a flaw in the first confrontation, and was directly pointed out by Zhang Wei.

   "Prosecutor, what do you think the bail amount is?" the judge asked again.

   Wang Can saw that he was suppressed by Zhang Wei for the first time, and after thinking about it, he said: "The defendant Tang Chunfeng is charged with murder. He has potential risks. We believe that the bail should be 5 million!"

As soon as the amount of   5 million came out, both Tang Chunfeng, Tang Chunde and Tang mother around him were all taken aback.

   It’s not that they can’t come up with that much money, but they need to sell their family’s house.

   "Your Honor, I don't agree with the prosecution's statement!"

Zhang Wei also knew that the bail amount was outrageous, and immediately said: "Your Majesty, my defendant, Mr. Tang Chunfeng, is a dentist. He has received a good education since he was a child, and he has not even received a traffic ticket. The character can definitely be rated as good.”

"And the bail is to prevent the suspect from evading investigation, to ensure that the suspect can cooperate with the court's subpoena in the next trial. My client has lived in Dongfang City since he was a child, and his family and social relations are also in this city. He has no absconding risk."

   Zhang Wei said and asked Tang Chunfeng: "Excuse me, will you abscond?"

   "I won't!" Tang Chunfeng replied immediately.

   Zhang Wei nodded, then took out a document and handed it to the judge.

"Your Majesty, my client has been living with my mother, and Mother Tang's health has always been poor. This is her latest medical diagnosis record. It is written that she had an operation three months ago. As you can see, my client needs to care for his elderly mother at home, so please allow my client to accept bail for a reasonable amount."

The judge raised his head, glanced at Tang's mother who was being supported by Tang Chunde, and then looked down at the document.

   "The court approved and the bail amount was set at 500,000."

  As the judge tapped the cone, the bail amount was also reduced from 5 million to 500,000.

   Wang Can's face was ugly, because he was suppressed by Zhang Wei twice in a row in a small bail court.

   He didn't even go to see Zhang Wei or how the defendant and the other party left the bail court.

   When he walked down, Xiao Baihe came over.

   "Wang Can, I reminded you, don't underestimate him, this Zhang Wei is not easy!"

After    said this, Xiao Baihe also took Tan Yingying away.
