Crazy, You Call This a Trainee Lawyer

Chapter 404: The new witness hides a knife, and the tainted witness is here!

in court.

"May I ask the witness, did you clearly see that my client installed data theft equipment among the equipment in your factory?"

"Isn't that true?"

"Then do you clearly understand that the person who hacked the network of your factory is my client?"

"This... I don't know..."

"So, you don't have any evidence to prove that my client carried out a cyber attack on your factory's data server in April last year; nor can you prove that my client is the person who monitored your factory?"

"Yes..."

Faced with Zhang Wei's aggressive questioning, the witnesses this time were less psychologically qualified than Director Hai.

After repeated questions, he finally showed signs of decline.

He has no evidence, so naturally he can't prove anything.

Come up to sell a wave of misery, trying to win the sympathy of the jury by telling the miserable appearance of himself and the factory employees.

But the fact that he could not testify also made the jury lose patience.

Juries are such wonderful creatures sometimes.

If you sell miserably, you may earn a little tears.

But if you sell a few more waves, they will get bored and hate that you use the same routine to interfere with them.

Even this distaste may turn into hostility to the witness.

At this moment, the 12-member jury has a very unfriendly attitude towards this new witness for the prosecution.

Their eyes were all the same as if they were saying: "Did you finish talking, hurry up and go down!"

"For this witness, we have no more questions to ask!"

After Zhang Wei forced the witness to dry mouth and speechless, he immediately ended the cross-examination.

However, when he walked out of the court, he took a special look at the prosecution seat.

Seeing this, his brows were tightly wrinkled.

Because even though several witnesses of the prosecution were "severely frustrated", Qin Yang's expression did not change at all.

From the beginning to the end, he still maintained the leisurely attitude of being neither in a hurry nor in a hurry.

It was as if the witness he summoned just now had nothing to do with him.

"How is it possible? Didn't he see the change in the attitude of the jury, or did he say that the witnesses just now, except for the first factory director, were all victims?"

For a moment, Zhang Wei couldn't figure out what Qin Yang was thinking.

But he knew that this Qin Gaojian must be hiding a killer move to be so calm.

Only those who have the hole cards can remain calm during the trial.

If the hole cards keep coming out, then he will always have the confidence!

When she returned to the defense table, Zhao Xiaoxiao couldn't help herself.

"Zhang Wei, you are so amazing, you actually forced so many witnesses to be speechless." The eyes of the second girl were flickering.

Even Liu Dashun and Zhu Erdan, who were sitting in the back, looked happy.

I feel that relying on Zhang Wei, they can do it!

"Hehe, I am so happy to advise you!"

Zhang Wei poured a basin of cold water on the three of them, while looking serious.

"Our opponent is no ordinary person. I feel the pressure. I advise you to get ready as soon as possible. The Qin High Prosecutor may have to work hard later."

He said, ignoring the slightly admiring eyes of Zhao Xiaoxiao and the others, and looked to the next door.

"Prosecution, do you still need to call witnesses?"

"certainly!"

Seeing Lao Li roll call, Qin Yang got up naturally.

"The prosecution summoned Manager Qiu of Yuanfeng Chemical to testify in court!"

Hearing that it was another witness from the "Yuanfeng Family", the jury was speechless.

But there was a meaningful smile on the corner of Qin Yang's mouth.

Soon, Manager Qiu went to court.

This is a woman in her early forties, wearing a black professional attire, with a good temperament and image.

After the jury met with a group of old men, a female witness came, and the hostility was slightly reduced.

But their antagonism will not abate if the witnesses testify indistinguishably from previous witnesses.

"Hello, Manager Qiu!"

"Hello, Qin Gaojian!"

"Manager Qiu, according to the records, the time when your Yuanfeng Chemical was attacked by the network should be in January this year, right?"

"Yes, since early January, there have been problems with our company's internal website, and even later, we found that the stored data and order information were lost to varying degrees, and even some internal confidential data and internal personnel information were lost. All were affected, and the loss of the entire factory was huge. We had to take remedial measures, but it was difficult to recover the losses at that time..."

After the opening remarks, Qin Yang asked again, but the witness's answer was still the same.

Explain to the court the loss situation at that time and the follow-up remedial plan. For this reason, the factory had to take measures to dismiss or even lay off employees.

Yuanfeng Chemical can only lay off employees in the end.

At present, the company has been dissolved, and the personnel department is dealing with the issue of employee placement.

It can be said that this is also a company that has been miserably hacked.

But her testimony failed to resonate with the jury.

Manager Qiu said a lot, and the jury was even a little indifferent.

It's not that they are cold-blooded, I'm really tired of hearing it.

"Thanks for Manager Qiu's answer, we have no questions for now!"

Unexpectedly, Qin Yang ended the question directly.

The witness's answer can be said to be useless.

Not only Zhang Wei can see it, but also lawyers and prosecutors with a little level can see it.

In the hearing booth, many people looked at each other in blank dismay.

They didn't understand at all why Qin Yang wanted to summon a woman whose testimony was almost useless to testify in court?

Is this just to waste time?

But what's the point of doing so?

When prosecuting and presenting evidence, shouldn't it be to provide strong testimony to attract the attention of the jury?

How come you are here, the testimony of witnesses is getting weaker and weaker?

Qin Yang returned to his seat, so the rest of the stage was naturally given to Zhang Wei.

The latter got up and walked to the court.

"Hello, Manager Qiu."

"Hello, defense attorney."

The witness's answer did not show any emotional fluctuations, his tone was flat, and he showed no hostility towards Zhang Wei.

This also made Zhang Wei strange.

Why did the witnesses for the prosecution in the past have more or less prejudice against themselves, but when they came to Qin Yang, the witnesses seemed to be very cooperative.

"There seems to be a problem!"

Zhang Wei turned his head, looked at Qin Yang with a calm face, and at the witness with a normal expression in front of him, feeling something was wrong.

Unfortunately, he couldn't tell what was wrong.

"Manager Qiu, let's start. The first thing I want to ask is..."

Cross-examination officially begins.

The content of the question is almost the same as that of the previous witnesses.

"Have you seen Liu Dashun?"

"No."

"Did you see him hack your company?"

"nor."

"and you……"

After some questions, Manager Qiu rejected them one by one.

"That is to say, you didn't see one of my clients launch a cyber attack on your company Yuanfeng Chemical, and there is no evidence to prove that he is the one who used monitoring equipment to steal data from your company?"

"Yes."

Hearing this familiar answer, Zhang Wei was about to conclude: "If that's the case, then..."

"But I can prove it to others!"

But Zhang Wei's words were suddenly interrupted by Manager Qiu.

At the same time, the corner of Qin Yang's mouth on the prosecution's seat turned up again.

"Come on, my real purpose is this!"

"Hitting east and west, and hitting the ball, you are not the only one who knows this trick!"

Qin Yang's expression remained unchanged, but he had already begun to sneer in his heart.

"Manager Qiu, what did you say?" Zhang Wei also froze for a moment, then looked at the witness.

"I said, although I can't prove that one of your parties, Liu Dashun, hacked into my company's system, I can prove that another of your parties has done so."

Manager Qiu said, looking at the defense bench.

Her gaze directly skipped over Liu Dashun, then Zhao Xiaoxiao, and finally stopped on Zhu Erdan.

"That's him, he's the one who hacked my corporate data!"

As soon as this remark came out, all eyes were on the defense table.

Similarly, many people in the jury who had already dozed off finally came to their senses.

A different testimony, directly against one of the defendants.

Finally something exciting is coming!

If they don't come again, they will be trapped to death.

"Do you know my client, Mr. Zhu Erdan?"

"Yeah, not only know..."

Manager Qiu pointed to Zhang Lang on the prosecution table, and said, "That Mr. Zhang also showed me the photo of your client and some other evidence."

Zhang Wei narrowed his eyes: "What kind of evidence is not on the public list!"

"Yes, those evidences were taken away by that person!" Manager Qiu kicked the ball to Zhang Lang again.

Qin Yang also stood up at this time: "Judge Li, as well as the defense lawyer, the evidence spoken by the witnesses is the evidence of the investigation of Yuanfeng Chemical Co. Confidentiality clause, the evidence was taken and filed by a special department whose name cannot be disclosed, so it cannot be brought to court!"

Zhang Wei immediately retorted: "If it can't be brought to court, doesn't that mean there is no evidence?"

"Defense lawyer, you are wrong, Manager Qiu's testimony is also evidence!"

Qin Yang smiled slightly, and pointed to the witness stand, "Manager Qiu saw with his own eyes that the special department and the CSB department conducted a joint investigation, and finally identified one of the suspects in the cyber attack as Mr. Zhu Erdan, who is your client!"

"She witnessed the entire search and exclusion process with her own eyes, and her testimony is also a declaration protected by law and can be accepted as evidence!"

Qin Yang said, looking at the trial seat, "Judge Li, our witness, Manager Qiu, is of good character. I have a letter of guarantee from the employees of Yuanfeng Chemical Company regarding Manager Qiu's character. They can prove that Manager Qiu is of noble character and absolutely not Possibly perjured in court!"

The guarantee letter was quickly handed over to Lao Li, and he understood it after picking it up.

This so-called letter of commitment was naturally prepared in advance, with dozens of people's autographs scattered on it.

After submitting the letter of guarantee, Qin Yang glanced at Zhang Wei, which contained many meanings.

"Good guy, actually used this trick!"

Zhang Wei also saw that the previous witnesses were all for the purpose of paralyzing himself.

And this Manager Qiu was Qin Yang's first killer move.

Even in order to enhance the effectiveness of Manager Qiu's testimony, the other party deliberately arranged so many almost invalid witnesses.

The previous ones were all boring content, but suddenly there was a burst of excitement, and the effect was naturally outstanding.

Now, manager Qiu directly testified against Zhu Erdan.

And Qin Yang added another knife and took out the character guarantee, which represented that the testimony of Manager Qiu would be judged valid.

"This court has read the letter of guarantee and confirmed that the witness, Manager Qiu, has no problem with her character, so her testimony is valid!"

As expected, Lao Li announced the acceptance of the letter of guarantee.

Under such circumstances, Qin Yang naturally nodded with a smile on his face.

Zhang Lang, who was next door, was even more proud, and at the same time gave Qin Yang a thumbs up in his heart.

As expected, he specially applied for and used his connections to invite a high-level prosecutor from Longdu.

The court had just started, and the defense had been given such a hand, and it was really powerful.

In contrast, the defense, which was hit by poor information, seemed a little passive.

"Poor information!"

Zhang Wei also revealed the reason why he fell into a disadvantage.

Because of special departments, many evidences and testimony were restricted by the confidentiality agreement, and neither he nor the prosecution could get them.

However, there is Zhang Lang on the prosecution's side, and the other party is also the person in charge of the special department. Although he cannot produce evidence, he does know some details of the case.

For example, Manager Qiu, although the evidence at that time was sealed, she was a participant in the incident and could use what she saw and heard as a testimony.

Since Zhang Wei was not a participant in the case, he naturally does not know the details.

But when it comes to the participants in the case, Zhang Wei looked back at Zhu Erdan who was on the witness stand.

If this kid was investigated by the special department before, why is he all right now?

"Manager Qiu, please answer a question. You said you saw one of my clients, Zhu Erdan, listed as a criminal suspect by the special department. Is that true?"

"Yes."

"Then why is he doing well now and not being punished for his cyber attacks?"

"This... I don't know very well."

"Don't you know?"

Zhang Wei narrowed his eyes slightly, and turned his head to look at the trial seat, "Judge Li, in view of the uncertainty of witness testimony, we need to temporarily adjourn the court for 10 minutes, and let me communicate with the parties."

Lao Li raised his hand and looked at his watch, "You have to ask questions, right? Court cases are precious, and I only give you 5 minutes!"

"Fine!"

Five minutes is five minutes. Anyway, Zhang Wei only has a few simple questions.

He didn't say much, just hooked his fingers at Zhu Erdan, and the two got together, bowed their heads and "communicated".

"What happened to you during that hacking attack?"

"That time it was a cooperative operation, besides me, there were many people involved!"

"Then why did this witness only testify against you?"

"Because my online signature was left on the site, I was careless and forgot to delete some pictures, but I found out later and deleted the pictures."

As Zhu Erdan spoke, he quickly explained.

Zhang Wei asked him to make a long story short, so he naturally knew everything and quickly explained the reason.

Five minutes passed quickly.

Zhang Wei already knew it well.

"Witness, ask again!"

Zhang Wei walked up to Manager Qiu, "You testified against my client Zhu Erdan just now, is it because the special department told you about the "Internet signature" record? "

"Looks like it was, I remember it being mentioned."

"The so-called network signature is generally a record of some underlying codes left on the network when hackers conduct network activities. The signatures left by different hackers are different. Because of this, when the search department investigates hacker attacks , found a picture on the website, and found my party's online signature on the picture."

After Zhang Wei explained a sentence, he deduced: "Because the online signatures are all unique, the search department listed him as the first suspect, right?"

"I remember so." Manager Qiu didn't deny it.

"Then let me tell you why my client was not listed as a criminal, or even taken away for investigation."

Zhang Wei took a deep breath and began to organize his words: "Because there is no way to convict my client based on the online signature on a picture."

"The search department found neither traces of my client's intrusion into the system nor the log files of his hacking activities, nor did they find the user information and confidential data my client stole from your company."

"Only relying on a picture with an online signature, it is naturally impossible to convict my client, and even if my client wants to counter-suit, he can counter-sue the search department and ask the search department to prove where the photo came from. , Whether they deliberately put it in the system to guide the search target to himself. "

"So, Manager Qiu, you use this incomplete testimony to accuse my client in court of being the hacker who attacked Yuanfeng Chemical. Isn't that inappropriate?"

Having said that, he finally reversed the direction of the court.

"This..." Even Manager Qiu himself didn't know how to answer.

She is not an expert in this field, and she doesn't even understand what a network signature is, so how can she answer these questions.

And the search department only listed the suspects and found her for confirmation.

She is not qualified to know about the follow-up investigation, so she instinctively thought that Zhu Erdan must have been investigated.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Erdan was fine until now.

"We have nothing more to ask about this witness!"

Zhang Wei hurriedly ended the cross-examination, not wanting Manager Qiu to speak again.

"Witnesses can leave!"

After Lao Li made one or two gestures, Manager Qiu had no choice but to get up.

The entire court, along with the witnesses leaving, fell into confusion.

Did Zhu Erdan do these things?

If he did, how come the search department didn't take him away because he's still doing well?

But if he didn't do it, how did he become a suspect at that time?

Lao Li ignored the doubts in the court and looked at Qin Yang.

"The prosecution?"

Qin Yang's expression was still calm, and he didn't even change much in response to Zhang Wei's counterattack.

To prove whether Zhu Erdan did it, or even whether Liu Dashun participated in the hacking attack, he has a lot of ways.

And next, he will use the real killer.

"Judge Li, the prosecution summoned Liu Xiaotao, a tainted witness in this case, to testify in court!"

Just enable this witness and it's all over!

Hearing this strange yet familiar name, Zhao Xiaoxiao, Liu Dashun and Zhu Erdan all turned angry.

This dog who eats inside and out and betrays his own people is finally coming up.

When Zhang Wei heard the name, his face also turned solemn.

Tainted Witness, finally here!
