Crazy, You Call This a Trainee Lawyer

  Chapter 42 Please be a moral witness, the first day of the trial

   When Zhang Wei left the Wushu Association, it was already afternoon.

   After reading the dossier, he also gained some understanding of the deceased Chen.

  According to the investigation of the military coordination, Chen did not have a full-time job during his lifetime, but he had a job in a black market to repair and resell illegal mobile phones.

  Many of the mobile phones he sold were illegally stolen by pickpockets. He was responsible for disassembling the security controls to prevent the original owner from locating them, and also did sales and after-sales work.

   When he learned of Chen's work, Zhang Wei felt that it was not inconceivable that he was killed.

   Those who engage in illegal activities are already contaminated with gray industries and are more likely to be killed by vendettas.

   Chen's death may have been accidental or deliberate.

   But after adding these clues, Zhang Wei was more certain that his client Tang Chunfeng was not the murderer.

   But to prove that Tang Chunfeng was not the murderer, he had to break the testimony of Chen's son, which was not an easy task.

   Zhang Wei decided to go to Tang Chunfeng's clinic first, maybe he could find something.

   He came to Chunfeng Clinic, which is located in the southeast of Central, but the clinic is closed today, and there is a sign "closed" on the door.

   The door of the clinic was closed, and Zhang Wei stayed at the door for a while.

  Chunfeng Clinic is located in an old alley, and there are not many people passing by. Not far away, there are some elderly aunts and aunts gathered to chat.

  The aunts and uncles chatted so fast that it had nothing to do with him, Zhang Wei.

  Fortunately, he asked Tang Chunfeng in advance for a list of the clinic's employees, just in time to give it a try.

  Zhang Wei took out his mobile phone and began to enter the number.

   "Hello, is that Dr. Li, I'm Dr. Tang's lawyer, may I ask you..."

   "I told the Wushu Association what I should say, don't come to me again, Dududu..."

   Looking at the hung up call, Zhang Wei was stunned.

   This Mr. Li, who seemed to be another resident dentist in the clinic, hung up the phone after hearing Zhang Wei reported himself to his home.

   Obviously, this Dr. Li should have been questioned by people from the serious crime group 3, and now he has to distance himself from Tang Chunfeng and Chunfeng Clinic.

   After all, Tang Chunfeng is now a suspect in a murder case. For the peaceful Long Kingdom, it is not a good thing to be involved in a murder case.

   "Try the others!"

  Since Dr. Li can't, then Zhang Wei can only continue to find the next one.

   "Hey, is it Ms. Jiang from Finance? I'm Dr. Tang's lawyer. I want to ask you a few questions. I don't know if I can..."

   "I don't know anything, Dududu..."

   Looking at the phone that hung up again, the muscles at the corners of Zhang Wei's mouth trembled.

"Next!"

   He continued to dial, looking for the next person.

   "Hey, is that the nurse, Mr. Zhang, I'm Dr. Tang..."

   "I don't know any Doctor Tang, I don't know!"

   The old man on the phone shouted, and then hung up the phone rudely.

   "I still don't believe it, you guys are so arrogant, you don't even care about your own boss."

   Zhang Wei was angry and dialed again.

   "Hey, is that Aunt Baojie Lu?"

   "Dududu..."

   "Is that Miss Peng at the front desk?"

   "Dududu..."

   "Is it Master Yu, the electrician?"

   "Dududu..."

   "Is that Miss Huang, the nurse?"

   "Yes, I am, who are you?"

   In Zhang Wei's numbness, a woman suddenly asked.

   Zhang Weiwei was surprised that the nurse did not hang up.

   "Hello, Miss Huang, I'm Dr. Tang's lawyer. I can't find a place to chat. I want to know about Dr. Tang!"

   "Okay, okay, where are you?"

   "I'm at the door of the clinic."

   "Understood, wait for me for 15 minutes..."

   The other side hung up the phone, but it was good news for Zhang Wei.

  15 minutes later, Zhang Wei was still waiting at the entrance of the clinic.

   "Hello, is that the lawyer Zhang you just called?"

   A weak female voice sounded.

   Zhang Wei followed the voice and saw a round-faced girl with an "apple head" hairstyle, wearing a fleece sweater and a pink scarf, looking at most twenty-five or six years old.

   "Are you Huang Xiali, a nurse at Chunfeng Clinic?"

   "Yes, then you must be Lawyer Zhang!"

   "Yes, let's find a place to chat!"

  Zhang Wei nodded and took Huang Xiali straight to a nearby coffee shop. The two sat down after ordering the coffee and started talking.

   "I want to ask why so many people have hung up on me, but you agreed to come and meet me?"

   Zhang Wei is also unambiguous, straight to the point.

   "Because, I think Dr. Tang is a good person, he can't kill..." Huang Xiali replied weakly.

   Zhang Wei narrowed his eyes and looked at the round-faced girl in front of him.

   "It's true. I also think that Dr. Tang will never kill people, but the other employees of the clinic don't think so. They answered my phone as if they had seen a flood of beasts."

  People are so realistic, other employees of Chunfeng Clinic let Zhang Wei see people taking tea.

   On the contrary, it was Huang Xiali, the nurse, whose behavior surprised Zhang Wei. The other party had an inexplicable sense of trust in Tang Chunfeng.

   "I want to ask, what kind of person is the Dr. Tang you know?"

"Dr. Tang, he is a very good person. During the two years I have been with him, I have found that Dr. Tang is not only a good doctor with due diligence, but also a filial person. Although he sometimes follows the rules a bit, but……"

   With Huang Xiali's story, Zhang Wei's guesses about Tang Chunfeng were verified one by one.

   Tang Chunfeng may have been a mother and boy when he was a child, and he was very dependent on his family, but his essence was not bad and his personality was good.

  After graduating from medical school, he has been doing his job, living with his family every day, and not getting any bad habits.

   People like this, who don't even smoke or drink, don't even get a parking ticket, they're simply exemplary good citizens, and proper children of other people's families.

   "By the way, Lawyer Zhang, how's the doctor doing recently?" After Huang Xiali finished speaking, she asked with concern on her face.

   "Fortunately, he was released on bail, but Dr. Tang has been very bad recently. He was charged with trumped-up charges and became a murder suspect. No one would feel better if he changed it."

   "This is..."

  Huang Xiali nodded, her face became a little ugly.

   "Huang Xiali, would you be willing to let you be Tang Chunfeng's "character witness"? "

   "What, character witness, what is this?"

   "It's very simple, you need to tell everyone what kind of person Dr. Tang Chunfeng is, and let the public understand that he will never commit murder."

   Zhang Wei said this and looked at Huang Xiali: "The question now is, do you want to?"

   "I...for Doctor Tang, I am willing!"

  Huang Xiali agreed and promised to be Tang Chunfeng's moral witness.

  Zhang Wei can see that Huang Xiali's relationship with Tang Chunfeng is not only the relationship between the boss and the employee, but one party may have some kind of emotional existence towards the other party.

   But Zhang Wei has no time to think about these now, he still has a place to go.

After    and Huang Xiali ended the conversation, he hurried to a relatively depressed commercial street in Central.

  This commercial street, because there are no subway facilities nearby, the overall traffic is inconvenient, so it seems that there are not many people.

   But because of this, many unlicensed stalls and hawkers gather. Even in the deepest commercial street, I heard that there are some gray industries.

  This is also where the deceased Chen worked part-time.

   Looking in from the entrance of the commercial gate, Zhang Wei found some small vendors who were squeamish. It seemed that their foundation was not very clean.

   "Hey, it's weird, if Chen died, didn't the 3rd team investigate this place?"

  Zhang Wei seemed to have noticed something, a sneer raised at the corner of his mouth, and then walked into the commercial street.

  …

   The next day, early in the morning.

   "Little girl, I'm rushing to the court session today, so I won't make breakfast for you. Let's go to the breakfast stall in the commercial street next door to eat a bowl of wontons!"

   "I see, I don't need you to remind me every day, is it annoying..."

   Hearing the voice from upstairs, Zhang Wei's mouth twitched.

   After he got up in a hurry, he just tidied up briefly, and he didn't even have time to make breakfast.

   But there is no way, who made today the court day, he prepared for too long last night, and even spent more than ten hours to simulate the trial by relying on his "special ability".

   So he went to bed late and woke up late, and his energy was still a little lacking.

   "Xiao Zhang, are you up so early?"

   The ironsmith Zhao next door was actually there today, and he even greeted Zhang Wei when he saw Zhang Wei.

   "Uncle Zhao, today is not the weekend, you actually came back early?"

   "Yeah, the project department is not busy recently, and the boss gave us a few days off. By the way, seeing you in a hurry, you have to go out again?"

   There are still programmers who don’t work overtime!

   Zhang Wei couldn't believe it, suspecting that he had heard it wrong.

   But he still responded: "Yeah, I'm in a hurry to go to the trial. The jury pre-trial this morning, and the trial will be held in the afternoon. The time is very tight!"

   "It's Dr. Tang's case, I've heard about it too. There's a lot of news about this case on the Internet. I didn't expect the defense lawyer to be your kid. If you dare to take this case, you're not afraid of losing the case?"

   "Uncle Zhao, I take the case not for winning or losing, but for the truth, and I don't think I will lose. I only know that there is an innocent person waiting for me to do justice for him!"

   Zhang Wei said, looked at the time, waved goodbye to Zhao Qingyan and went straight to the bus stop.

   "For the truth, but the truth is not what the martial arts association said? Looking at his appearance, are you really sure?"

   Zhao Qingyan suddenly became interested, and also took out his mobile phone.

   "Driver, come here, I'm not going to rest at home today, take me to the city court, I'm going to see a court hearing."

   If Zhang Wei knew that Zhao Qingyan was planning to go to the court, he would not have to wait for the bus, he would just take a ride.

   And now, he followed the swarming office workers and experienced a "crowded massage", a characteristic transportation service of Oriental Capital.

   When he came to the city court, he felt as if he had lost his soul.

   "Fortunately I didn't have breakfast..."

   He murmured, and at the breakfast shop in front of the courthouse, he bought a bun and quickly satiate his hunger.

   He bit the bun and waited at the door of the courthouse.

   While Zhang Wei was waiting, there were more and more people in front of the court, and many of them were TV reporters.

   They held up the microphone, stood at the door of the court, facing the camera, and started the live broadcast.

   "This is Dongfangdu TV, I'm a reporter from this station..."

   "Good morning, everyone, Dongfangdu Morning News will bring you a live broadcast. This court case is the most popular dental doctor murder case in our city recently..."

"The suspect, Tang Chunfeng, is the attending doctor of a dental clinic in our city. He graduated from Dongfangdu Medical University and is a native of Dongfangdu. It is hard to imagine that such a person would actually commit murder and kill him. Still the father of an innocent child..."

   Zhang Wei stood aside, listening to the media reports, but he was speechless.

   That's the way the media likes to exaggerate. Before the crime was convicted, they had already identified Tang Chunfeng as the murderer.

   Just as the media swarmed, Tang Chunfeng finally came.

   He was escorted by the Wushu Association from his home to the courthouse, accompanied by his mother Tang and Tang Chunde.

   Seeing one of the parties appear, the media, like sharks smelling blood, swarmed up and surrounded their family.

   "Doctor Tang, why do you want to kill?"

   "As a doctor, shouldn't you save the dying?"

   "As a dentist, what does it feel like to kill someone with a scalpel?"

   "Doctor Tang, do you know what kind of impact you have on Medical University and your former mentor?"

   Facing the fierce fire from the media, Tang Chunfeng could only bury his head deeply, and walked into the court in silence under the protection of the escorts of the Wuxie Association.

   Zhang Wei, Tang Chunde, and Mother Tang nodded and walked in.

  Because of the seriousness of the case this time and the impact is not small, the city court specially arranged for the middle court on the fourth floor to hear it.

  4th floor, preparation room.

  Tang Chunde put on a decent suit and sat with Zhang Wei under the protection of Mother Tang and Tang Chunfeng.

   "Lawyer Zhang, today is the day of the court session, what should I do?"

   "You don't need to do anything, as long as you behave normally, in fact, it will be more beneficial to me if you do yourself well."

   In the face of Tang Chunfeng's worries, Zhang Wei was calm enough.

   "You just have to promise that when the jury looks over, what you see is a timid, kind and innocent person. As long as you don't show special indifference, it's enough to help me."

   Zhang Wei said, picked up the list of witnesses, and started to check.

   "Hey, why is there no son of the deceased Chen Mou on the witness list today?"

   "Lawyer Zhang, isn't it normal that the deceased's son doesn't show up, he's just a child..."

   Although Tang Chunde was puzzled, he thought it was a good thing.

But Zhang Wei shook his head and vetoed: "You don't understand, this child is a killer, equivalent to a nuclear weapon in a court trial. Once it is used, it is basically a one-shot kill. The prosecution can't let such a good witness go without them. There must be something planned."

   "Lawyer Zhang, you mean..."

   "It seems that they are preparing for tomorrow. Before we disprove the evidence tomorrow, the prosecution will let the child testify against your brother, so that no matter what we prove, the jurors may not believe it!"

   "This...how can this be good..." At this moment, even Mother Tang felt that the situation was bad and looked worried.

   "Auntie, don't worry, since they don't plan to use this trick today, it's also an opportunity for me to refute their other evidence!"

   Zhang Wei said, a flash of confidence flashed in his eyes.

  He prepared for today for so long, just to refute the prosecution in court.

   "Let's go, the court is about to start, let's enter first."

   When Zhang Wei brought Tang Chunfeng and his party into the courtroom, there were already many people here.

  Zhang Wei swept through the crowd and found several familiar figures in the hearing booth.

  Tan Yingying and Guo Wufeng from the Misdemeanor Division of the District Prosecution Headquarters came. Tan Yingying sat next to Xiao Baihe, and Guo Wufeng also sat next to a gloomy, dignified, half-bald middle-aged man who looked like the leader.

   Judging from Guo Wufeng's vaguely bowed head and ears when talking to the other party, this middle-aged man should have a higher status than the former.

   Guo Wufeng saw Zhang Wei, hurriedly whispered to the middle-aged man, and pointed at Zhang Wei.

   The middle-aged man turned his head and looked over with a curious and scrutinizing gaze. Zhang Wei felt the sharp gaze, but he was not afraid.

   He walked over to Xiao Baihe and greeted with a smile, "Long time no see, Prosecutor Xiao."

Tan Yingying on the side of    saw Zhang Wei and lowered her head in fright, like a little ostrich.

   "What are you doing here, the defense seat is your place!" Xiao Baihe was relatively tough, standing up and staring at Zhang Wei.

"It's nothing, I just saw Prosecutor Xiao Baihe and came over to say hello subconsciously." Zhang Wei didn't care at all, instead he pointed to Guo Wufeng's position and asked, "By the way, who is that next to Guo Wufeng? He's been staring at me since I came in."

   "He's my boss, Zhao Chunming, the director of the Serious Crime Section!" Xiao Baihe didn't hide it at all, revealing his identity as a middle-aged man.

   "Oh, it turned out to be the leader of the Serious Crime Division of the District Attorney's Headquarters. In the future, he will inevitably have to fight with him, so today are you coming to meet me?"

  Zhang Wei smiled and said he understood.

   He walked back to the defense seat, and happened to see Wang Can sitting in the prosecution seat, and sneered at him.

   "The guy who hurts people with secret arrows can't be on the table after all!" Zhang Wei looked at the other side with a sneer in his heart.

   Let the people from the serious crime group 3 stumble him. I have to say that this Wang Can is a villain.

  What he said today would teach this little man a lesson.

   As the two sides were preparing, there were more and more people on the hearing bench, including martial arts associations, people who eat melons, and even lawyers and judicial system staff who came to hear the news.

   Of course, a lot of people from the media have come to such a hot case.

  The city court made some miscalculations. They didn't expect the attention of the case to be so high this time, and the hearing bench in the central court seemed a little crowded.

   "A judge is invited to enter!"

   Just when everyone was busy, the pre-trial finally started and the judge entered.

  Everyone looked at the judgment seat with their tempers attentive.

   The judge this time is a middle-aged man with glasses, with a big back hair, and he looks polite.

   "Considering the impact of the case and the situation of the victim's family, the city court decided to speed up the trial, so this morning's preliminary trial and the afternoon trial, everyone understands!"

   After the judge sat down, he spoke immediately.

   For this, Zhang Wei naturally knew that there was no objection in the entire court.

   "Then, let's start, let the candidate jury enter!"
