Crazy, You Call This a Trainee Lawyer

Chapter 61: Zhang Wei's question, the witness list is in hand

   Chapter 61 Zhang Wei's question, the witness list is in hand

   Grand Court.

  Pre-trial site.

   The prosecution and defense are in place.

   Huang Fang, the chief lawyer of the prosecution, and Zhao Jing, the second.

   Zhang Wei, the defense's chief lawyer, did not have a second seat.

   Defendant Wang Yuqing.

Outside the Grand Court, the media flocked in, but Court Guard closed the door in a timely manner, isolating nearly half of the media reporters.

  There is no way, although the large courtroom is large, it can only accommodate hundreds of people, and the hearing bench is now full.

  If you want to grab a spot, hurry up next time.

   "Stand up, the honorable judge is invited to enter!"

   After everyone stood up, the judge entered the scene.

   "Well, it's Brother Calm..."

   Zhang Wei was slightly taken aback after seeing who the judge was.

  This judge, wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses, had a calm expression and a slightly serious expression, but he was not the presiding judge of the Tang Chunfeng case before.

   Zhang Wei is not interested in the judge's name, he only knows that the other party is Brother Calm.

  Brother Calm walked to the trial seat, glanced at the defense seat, and was slightly surprised.

   Good guy, this kid again!

   He remembered that Zhang Wei was quite noisy, and he had to apologize to the defendant for the reputation of the Public Procuratorate, not to mention the last time he won the local prosecutor's office.

   He hopes, this time, don't make those idiots!

   "All sit down!"

  Brother Calm pushed his eyes, suppressed a trace of unease in his heart, and then gestured to the defense seat.

   "Defense, please state your court claim!"

   "Your Excellency, the defense applies for an innocence defense!"

   Brother Calm gave Zhang Wei a slightly surprised look, he thought the defense would apply for a discretionary commutation.

   But yes, the sentence in this case is too severe, the guarantee is indefinite, and it is very likely to be the death penalty, commutation does not apply to such a case.

   "Then the defense's claim has been made clear, now invite the grand jury to enter and start the pre-trial!"

   Brother Calm knocked on the cone and announced that the jury began to enter.

  The prosecution seat, Huang Fang's eyes narrowed slightly, Zhao Jing began to look at the record file in his hand.

In the hearing box, Zhao Chunming also squinted, while Xiao Baihe and Tan Yingying's expressions became extremely solemn.

   It was also the hearing booth. Professor Luo clenched his hands into fists, and his feet had changed in many positions. Although it was January, there was a little cold sweat on his forehead.

   He was so nervous that he could hardly sit still even in the pre-trial stage.

   All of them wanted to know what kind of questions Zhang Wei would ask today and how he would screen the jury.

   Zhang Wei walked to the jury, shook his cheap suit, and asked with a smile, "Jurors, first question, what historical figures do you like?"

  Brother Calm in the trial seat raised his eyebrows, secretly said as expected.

   This kid likes to ask some weird questions. The last time he asked the aliens, this time he asked the ancients again.

   Zhao Chunming in the hearing box also changed his face, because based on his experience, he could not judge the reason why Zhang Wei asked these questions.

   "Boy, I have to say that you can always give me some new tricks!"

   "But this time, it's useless no matter how much you jump around, you're lost!"

   He sneered in his heart, and continued to sit firmly on the Diaoyutai while watching the play.

Xiao Baihe and Tan Yingying on the side of    were also bewildered by Zhang Wei's question. The two women opened their mouths, not knowing how to complain.

   "Ah, this..."

   Although Luo Feixiang is a professor and has little experience in court trials, he is rich in theoretical knowledge.

   So when Zhang Wei asked an out of line question, his brain stopped for a moment.

  If Zhang Wei was in front of him, he couldn't help but stand up and ask: How did you guys come up with such gimmicky questions, can you be normal?

  Unfortunately, he couldn't do it. Zhang Wei was standing in the courtroom, but he was in the hearing box.

   On the other hand, on the jury bench, the jurors who heard this question were relieved.

   Because this problem is not difficult, it is even very grounded.

   "I, I like the Ancestral Dragon Emperor of our Dragon Kingdom, that is the first emperor of the ages!"

  A middle-aged man with glasses answered the question with a smile.

Zhang Wei nodded, but said again: "Emperor Zulong is indeed powerful, but in his later years he sought immortal dreams and longevity, which led to tyranny and abuse of the people, stifled the wisdom of the people, shook the foundation of unity, and also led to the collapse of the country, you Do you still like him?"

   "Uh..." The man hesitated, but nodded anyway: "Of course, I still adore him!"

  Zhang Wei knew it.

   "Your Honor, the defense appreciates Juror No. 4's answer, but asks him to leave!"

   Brother Calm is not surprised at all, anyway, the question this kid asks is so outrageous.

   He just recorded it and signaled the man with glasses to give up his seat.

  Zhang Wei continued to ask: "The gentleman just said Zulong Emperor, who else of you worships this, can you raise your hand?"

   In the jury bench, several people looked at each other, but they raised their hands slowly.

   Zhang Wei walked up to a woman and asked, "Ma'am, do you worship him too?"

   "I can't say worship, but I know he has done a lot of great things, a lot of great things."

   "Thank you madam for your answer, but the defense still wants to ask you to leave!"

   Zhang Wei nodded with a smile, but rejected another juror.

   "Sir, you also worship Emperor Zulong, don't you?"

   "Hehe, it's not worship!"

   "Then why did you raise your hand?"

   "Because I don't have anyone else I admire, I just heard you talk about this guy. I guess I have some understanding of him, so I raised my hand."

   This time, the man's answer was slightly different from before.

   In other words, when he talked about Emperor Zulong, he didn't have the admiration in the eyes of the two before, but he only knew a little more about this figure than other historical figures, so he raised his hand.

"Thank you for your answer!"

   Zhang Wei nodded and looked at the jury: "Your Excellency, the defense accepts this juror."

   Brother Calm couldn't keep up with Zhang Wei's brain circuit anyway, he just nodded, he knew it.

   And everyone in the hearing box, including Luo Feixiang, was in a state of confusion.

   This answer, where are you going? Why did you accept the jury?

   On the prosecution table, Huang Fang moved slightly to Zhao Jing's side and asked in a low voice, "Do you see anything in these questions?"

   "No, no clue at all!"

   "That's really weird, what's the point of this kind of question?"

   "I don't know either, but the last time he asked a question, he even mentioned aliens..."

   Zhao Jing said, and opened a document record. This is the court record of Zhang Wei and Wang Can in the last Tang Chunfeng case, which recorded the questions Zhang Wei asked when screening the jury.

   "It turned out to be a silly boy, did I think highly of him!" Seeing this, Huang Fang sneered.

   For Zhang Wei's alert, he also put down a little.

   And Zhang Wei's question continues.

   But the question about historical figures is over.

   Zhang Wei walked up to a slightly fat girl, holding a few pieces of paper in his hand, and asked with a smile, "Ma'am, from the juror's intention questionnaire, you are a nurse?"

   "Hmm, but we are from a plastic surgery and beauty hospital." The fat girl nodded.

   "That's it, then I want to ask how the boss of your hospital is like. If you are afraid that the boss will know, you can secretly tell me the answer, I won't say it out."

The fat girl thought for a while, then leaned in front of Zhang Wei and whispered, "Our boss is dead, we work hard every day, and the monthly salary is only a few thousand yuan, and there is no subsidy. After the new year, I have to consider changing jobs. It's gone!"

   "Haha, many bosses have this problem!"

  Zhang Wei smiled and looked at the bench: "Your Excellency, the defense accepts this juror!"

  The judge continued to record, and nodded to Zhang Wei to continue.

   "Sir, according to the feedback form, you are an accountant?"

   "Yes, I am a professional auditing."

   "How about your boss?"

   "The boss is very good, he treats his employees like his own, and even calls us brothers!"

   "Okay, thank you for your answer, but the defense asks you to leave!"

  The man in the suit left his position.

   "Ma'am, the form says you are married, you are a housewife, and you have children at home?"

"Yes, the two sons are not too young, but they are still very noisy, and I am heartbroken every day. Fortunately, the court hearings are all working days, and they all went to school, otherwise I would not even have time to come to the court. "

   "That's really hard, but I have to ask, what do you think of your parents-in-law and how are they treating you?"

   "Uh... do you want to listen to the truth or lie?"

   "I want to hear lies, because I know lies are better, don't they?"

"Yes, then I'll say it. My parents-in-law and my mother-in-law are very good, and they are very good to me. They have never taken on the air of being a local in the East and treated me as a servant at home, and they have never been in front of the neighbors. He has slandered me, made irresponsible remarks about me, and never looked down on my mother's family, always disliked this and that..."

"Thank you for your answer!"

  Zhang Wei smiled and thanked him, then nodded towards the bench: "Your Excellency, the defense accepts this juror!"

   "Very good, so we have a jury bench. Today is Friday, and the court will officially open next Monday!"

   Calm brother knocked on the cone and announced that the court was dissolved.

  The people on the hearing stand left the stage one after another, but the media was reluctant to leave.

  Because they saw Zhang Wei's question and the central task of the case, the suspect Wang Yuqing.

   They are all waiting at the door, and once they come out, it must be a storm of questions.

   Even Zhang Wei was not spared and was blocked by the media.

   "Lawyer Zhang, I heard that you are still a law student and a rookie lawyer. Why do you dare to take this case?"

   "Lawyer Zhang Wei, this is not the first time you have fought with the district prosecutor's headquarters. After today's pre-trial, is it convenient for you to share your thoughts?"

"Defense lawyer, I heard that you have beaten senior sister in school, and you have won the prosecutor of the district prosecutor's office in the first and second trial. This is your third trial, is it the same as the previous two trials? Just as confident?"

   "Lawyer Zhang..."

   Zhang Wei naturally did not answer any questions from the media.

   Because during the trial, any excessive or unintentional remarks will be infinitely interpreted by these media people.

   They will even arrange what they say into whatever they want for the sake of clicks and headlines.

   If you want to add sin, there is no excuse for it!

   In his previous life, he suffered losses when he was young, so he kept his mouth shut during the whole process, and did not relax until he entered the preparation room.

  No accident, he saw Luo Feixiang and Wang Yuqing.

  Wang Yuqing began to change clothes, took off his formal clothes, and walked into the prepared screen.

The    Wushu Association arranged for a female field worker to accompany him, who was also responsible for monitoring Zhang Wei and Luo Feixiang.

   But at this moment, the two of them have no intention of taking care of Wang Yuqing changing clothes.

   "Zhang Wei, what questions are you asking, why can't I understand them?"

  Luo Feixiang was a little puzzled by Zhang Wei's question during the trial.

   It’s right if you don’t understand. Anyway, the judge and the people in the district attorney’s headquarters didn’t understand either.

   "No way, Lao Luo, don't you even understand this?" Zhang Wei looked at the other party with a strange expression.

   "Understand, what do you know?"

   "Tsk tsk tsk, thank you for being a cultural person, I don't understand what I mean?"

   Zhang Wei laughed and asked:

   "What is the identity of the deceased, City Councillor, do you know?"

"I know……"

   "Is the status of a city councilor high or low for us little people?"

   "Of course it's high."

   "Then I asked the historical figures, the jurors mentioned the Zulong Emperor, is his identity high or low?"

   "High, so high!"

"That's not right. The purpose of the question I asked was to ask them whether they have any respect for people with high status. If so, they are likely to be on the side of the victim, which is not good for us, yes The juror I don't need. And if there is no awe, or even other attitudes toward the big man, then he won't necessarily be on the victim's side, he's the juror I need, it's that simple~"

   Zhang Wei said, spread out his hands, and put on a "you don't understand this, how can we communicate" attitude.

   "Then you ask the jurors for the second time, and ask them what they think of the boss and the elders in the family. Is it also..."

   "Yeah, that's the intention, can't you think?"

   Seeing that Zhang Wei is so frank and his purpose is so simple, Luo Feixiang stopped talking this time.

   "I'm getting dressed!"

   At this moment, Wang Yuqing changed into the blue prison uniform of the detention center and walked out from behind the screen.

   He saw Luo Feixiang not speaking, while Zhang Wei was looking down at a document.

   "Lawyer Zhang, what you have is..."

   "Oh, this is the latest list of witnesses handed to me by Zhao Jing, the second officer of the prosecution!"

   Zhang Wei said, and suddenly looked at Luo Feixiang: "There is a very tricky name in this list!"

   "What's your name?" The two asked subconsciously.

   But soon, they all reacted.

   "It's me!" Professor Luo pointed at himself, his eyes widening.

   "Yes, it's you!" Zhang Wei smiled and patted the other person's shoulder: "This is actually a good thing, because you have the opportunity to explain to the jurors what kind of person Wang Yuqing is."

"Actually, from the beginning, I planned to invite someone to be this character witness. My original goal was to be a colleague from the Medical University, but when I think about being unfamiliar with them, I feel unreliable. It would be better if you, Professor Luo, come! "

   "But I was summoned by the prosecution. They must have prepared some questions. Can you guess what?"

   "I'm not the roundworm in their stomach, how could I possibly guess?"

   Zhang Wei shook his head, but his words changed: "But I can't guess, but you can tell me about it. In terms of understanding of you, who else can compare to yourself?"

  Luo Feixiang and Wang Yuqing glanced at each other, both of them were a little bit less than Zhang Wei's brain circuits.

   "Don't worry, we still have a weekend to prepare..."

  Zhang Wei looked at the door, and he heard footsteps.

   "Wang Yuqing, you need to go back to the detention center!"

   Outside the door, the transfer personnel of the Wushu Association arrived.

   "Let's get here first today!" Zhang Wei also nodded, indicating that he should leave the venue first.

  Wang Yuqing was taken away by the people of the Wushu Association. After Luo Feixiang watched the other party leave, he could only sigh in place.

   "Zhang Wei, do you need me to take you back?"

   "No, I'm going to the Wushu Association to get a backup copy of the publicity evidence. Professor, go back first!"

   "Well then..."

  Luo Feixiang thought about it and felt that Zhang Wei really didn't need to go out with him, otherwise he would be blocked by the media.

  When Luo Feixiang left, Zhang Wei was the only one left in the preparation room.

   "In this case, the District Prosecution Headquarters seems to be playing a real game!" Zhang Wei thought while looking at the list of witnesses in his hand.

   He didn't delay. Since Professor Luo helped him attract fire at the front door, he went straight to the fire exit at the back, avoiding all the media.

   After the Wushu Association presented the case documents, he also obtained all the public evidence in the Wang Yuqing case.

   But Zhang Wei knows better that if he is a powerful prosecutor, he will use some means to "hide" part of the evidence and release it when necessary, so that he can catch his opponent by surprise.

   Although this move breaks the rules, the prosecution can use excuses such as "I only knew there was such evidence by accident", "This evidence was only available last night, so it was too late to submit it" and other excuses.

   As long as the excuse is good and the opponent can't get the handle, then it is the killer move in the trial.

   Bringing the documents to publicize the evidence, Zhang Wei left the Wushu Association and returned to the Lin Mansion.

   He returned to his residence and went straight to the second floor.

   Dong Dong Dong!

After knocking on the door of the room, Zhang Wei asked, "Little Zhao, how are things going today?"

   "Today I just went to the scene to break the firewall, and the data has not been completely deciphered. I will talk about it tomorrow!"

   Hearing this reply, Zhang Wei understood.

   But he immediately took out a record from the file bag.

   "By the way, this is a summary of the surveillance videos about the mailbox in the public evidence. You can help me check these time periods and other surveillance videos on the nearby streets. You can collect all the videos as much as possible and send them all to me!"

  The door opened a crack, a fair arm stretched out, grabbed the document in Zhang Wei's hand, and immediately retracted.

   "So many!" Zhao Xiaoxiao complained, and then asked: "Adding up these road sections, and counting the surveillance of several nearby streets, there are thousands of surveillance cameras, right? How long do you have to watch?"

   "Don't worry about this, the last thing I need is time!"

   Zhang Wei smiled confidently and did not take this issue to heart at all.

   Zhao Xiaoxiao thought that Zhang Wei was going to stay up all night for two days, but she didn't object. Anyway, staying up all night was a common thing for her.
