Crazy, You Call This a Trainee Lawyer

   Chapter 91 Aoki's threat, can't do anything? (Thanks to allies)

   Monday is here again.

   Today is also the court day for the robbery of the rich jewelry store.

   Looking at the red lanterns hanging high in the street, Zhang Wei was filled with emotion.

   It's New Year's Eve.

   "Unfortunately, I live alone every year. How many years have passed?"

   Looking at the people on the street who were still going to work for the year-end sprint, Zhang Wei's eyes flashed with vicissitudes far beyond his actual age.

   Whether it is in the past life or the present, whether it is Zhang Qiansheng or Zhang Wei, in fact, life is very lonely.

   This loneliness is even stronger on the days when the family should be reunited, especially during the Chinese New Year.

   Zhang Wei walked out of the Lin Mansion and happened to meet Zhao Qingyan who also got up early.

   "Xiao Zhang, where are you planning to go?"

   "Go to work, by the way, Uncle Zhao, are you planning to go to work too?"

"Yeah, it's almost the end of the year, there are a lot of things in the company, I need to deal with it. Many people in my development department also go home early for the New Year, and they have to deal with their work at hand. a while."

   "I'm going to court too, but I'm going to the Chengbei District Court. I can't rub your car with Uncle Zhao today."

   Zhao Qingyan looked surprised when he heard Zhang Wei's words.

   It's almost New Year's Eve, and you're still taking a case.

  Do you want to be so dedicated?

   "Is that the jewelry store on Fuyu Road, Chengbei District?"

   "Uncle Zhao, how do you know?"

"That's no nonsense. Are all the cases you've handled ordinary? Recently, Dongfang's case has been relatively large, and it's the one in Chengbei District. By the way, are you representing the defendant's couple? "

   "Yes, but I only represent one of them, and they were framed by others, and they did not commit a crime."

   "So, you're going to do justice for them again?"

   Zhao Qingyan laughed, came over and patted Zhang Wei on the shoulder.

   "Okay, you fight well, as long as you do the right thing, then Uncle Zhao will support you unconditionally."

   "Thanks Uncle Zhao, then I'll go first."

   "Go!"

   Zhao Qingyan and Zhang Wei separated.

   One of them went to work in the company, and the other went to court in Chengbei District.

  Monday, another busy day.

  …

   Chengbei District Court.

   When Zhang Wei arrived early in the morning, there were already many media people at the door.

   It seems that it is not only him and Zhao Qingyan who need to sprint a wave of performance a few years ago.

  Although the Chinese New Year is approaching, many migrant workers have returned to their hometowns to reunite with their families, but there are still many people who still insist on being on the front line, fighting for their own performance or year-end commissions.

   For those who insist on the front line, Zhang Wei is full of respect.

   "That's the defense attorney, the defendant's attorney!"

   "Quick, the camera is ready, start the interview!"

   "Defendant's lawyer, do you have any thoughts on the robbery committed by your client?"

   "I heard that the two defense lawyers quarreled in court because you both thought the other was lying, or were you dissatisfied with Aoki Law Firm?"

"Lawyer Zhang, the evidence submitted by the prosecution and the questioning of lawyer Li from the defense all prove that your client, Kong Hang, is the robber of the jewelry store. Why do you want to defend the criminals and let them go to trial directly? ?"

"Defense lawyer, it is said that you are a new lawyer, don't you care whether your client is a criminal or not in order to increase your reputation? What is your thinking in court today, to put the blame on another defendant? Wang Xi, and then let your client retreat?"

   "Lawyer Zhang..."

   Well, Zhang Wei admitted that the respect in his heart only existed for less than 10 seconds.

   "I have nothing to say about these questions!"

  Zhang Wei responded, but he didn't expect that these media people would not let him go.

   This is no nonsense. They blocked the door of the court early in the morning, just to find the client or a lawyer to interview.

  Otherwise, the Chinese New Year is almost here, why do they have to get up early, isn’t it just to get first-hand information that others can’t get?

  Others are busy with the New Year, they are still busy writing the last report of the year, and they are struggling in the front line of the interview. This is the consciousness of the media.

   One word: volume!

   After the New Year, we still have to do it, and everyone is doing it, so if you don’t do it yourself, won’t you be behind others?

  Zhang Wei was chased and intercepted by the media, and these people were not even tired for the interview.

   The reporter held the microphone and the photographer carried the camera. He walked fast, and Zhang Wei couldn't shake it off.

   Seeing that there was no other way, Zhang Wei suddenly stopped, and then shouted to the media around him: "Okay, then I will give you a message."

   All the media people got together.

   "I want to say that my client is innocent!"

"cut!"

   Hearing Zhang Wei's words, almost all the media people sneered.

  You are not talking nonsense!

Which defense lawyer doesn't always talk about this sentence. They interviewed dozens or hundreds of defense lawyers, and their first sentence was "My client was wronged" and "My client did not commit a crime." , "The accusation against my client is unfounded" and so on.

   Can you change to something fresh?

   Zhang Wei may have seen the thoughts of this group of media people, and then said the second sentence.

"So, if I find out that before the jury's verdict is announced, there are any reports on your company's media channels that my client is a robber, don't blame me for slandering, defamation, infringement of my client's reputation, etc. you guys!"

  Dude, is this a warning to us?

   If they don't exaggerate the title of the article, where will the popularity come from?

  You don't need to be shocked by the title, others use it.

   You only have hundreds of thousands of page views and clicks, and others are tens of thousands or even tens of millions. What should you do?

   It can only be said that scrolls are mutual, you don’t need others to use them, and there are a lot of people waiting to use them. This is the reality of involution.

   "For other things, I have nothing to say, I hope you can do it yourself!"

   After Zhang Wei finished speaking, he walked quickly into the district court regardless of the expressions of these media people.

   Because he saw that the field staff had already brought Kong Hang.

   Relying on Zhang Wei to attract firepower, Kong Hang was not surrounded by too many media people and quickly entered the district court.

   Prepare the interior.

   "Lawyer Zhang, Lawyer Zhuo from Aoki came to me last night and said that they wanted me to reconsider who to entrust. They asked me to replace you."

   As soon as we met, Kong Hang made a big news.

   Zhang Wei was a little surprised after hearing this, but he immediately thought of the reason.

   "Oh, have you considered that?"

   "Of course not!"

Kong Hang immediately shook his head: "I don't trust Aoki's lawyer, and Xiaoxi's aunt is in Aoki. Her questioning of my ex-girlfriend on Friday also made me understand that her purpose is to push all the crimes to me, Do you think I can trust them?"

   "That's right, if I guess right, they asked you to change lawyers to make you plead guilty sooner!"

   "Isn't that impossible? If I insist on defending my innocence, won't Aoki's lawyer also appear in court for me?"

   "Yeah, but after going to court, what if he asks some stupid questions or behaves badly and gets you convicted by a jury?"

  Zhang Wei sneered, and it was no surprise to Aoki's reaction.

   "But this is against the rules, don't lawyers think about their clients?"

"You are right, but the evidence is against you now. If you insist on going to court, you may be convicted 100%. And you are also wrong. The lawyer is not thinking about the client, but to help the client. People get the best interest. For you, the best interest is actually to plead guilty, so you can save half your sentence, which is better than if you insist on going to court and end up in prison for 20 years!”

Zhang Wei thought for a while, then patted Kong Hang's shoulder and said earnestly: "Also, although a lawyer should respect the client's idea and provide the client with the best service he can provide, he must "Good service", but there is no evaluation standard. Maybe he had a bad stomach that day, which caused him to play abnormally during the court trial, or maybe one of his relatives died suddenly that day, causing him to be in a state of insanity, that is all possible. Do you understand what I mean?"

   "There is actually such a thing!" Kong Hang heard Zhang Wei say these inside stories, and suddenly felt that he had been locked in the gate of hell.

   If he agreed to Aoki’s request and changed his attorney, wouldn’t he be 100% guilty?

   "So, lawyer Zhang, do you think I will be convicted today?" This is also the most relevant question for Kong Hang.

   "Me~"

   Zhang Wei smiled and patted Kong Hang's shoulder again, "You can just sit there and watch the show today, I am the one who is in charge of 'playing out' in court!"

   This sentence, some of the answers were wrong, Kong Hang also ignored the meaning for a while.

   But when he saw Zhang Wei's confident smile, the worry and anxiety in his heart also decreased a lot.

   After chatting for a while, the other party also came.

  The door of the preparation room was pushed open, and Aoki, led by Li Qinghe, was also present.

  Representing lawyer Li Qinghe, client Wang Xi, Wang Xi's father Wang Dahai, Li Qinghe's husband Wang Dayang, and driver Li Feifei.

   "Lawyer Zhuo, come in too!"

   Just after they entered the preparation room, Li Qinghe called out to the door, and Aoki's lawyer Zhuo also entered the preparation room.

   "Auntie, who are you?" Zhang Wei asked knowingly when he saw Lawyer Zhuo.

   But Li Qinghe acted as if he hadn't heard Zhang Wei's words, so lawyer Chao Zhuo winked.

  The latter also ignored Zhang Wei and walked to Kong Hang.

   "Mr. Kong, I don't know what my proposal was yesterday. If you want to make a decision, please hurry up. Later, we will submit a written application for changing the defender!"

   "Auntie, you are..."

  Zhang Wei was still acting, looking at Li Qinghe and Lawyer Zhuo with an expression of "extremely surprised".

   "I, I choose..."

  Kong Hang looked at Lawyer Zhuo, thinking of Zhang Wei's "reminder" just now, he immediately shook his head.

   "I choose to trust lawyer Zhang and not change the defense lawyer before the trial!"

   Lawyer Zhuo's expression darkened slightly when he heard this answer, but there was nothing he could do.

  Since Kong Hang has made his own decision, they have no right to interfere with the freedom of others to choose lawyers.

   "Huh, since your kid chose him, there's nothing to talk about later!"

  Li Qinghe snorted coldly, looked at Kong Hang, then glanced at Zhang Wei with a cold expression.

   "Later, I will let Lawyer Zhuo be my second lawyer, and he will conduct the next court questions. You'd better know it well. He is our Aoki's best person for court questions."

After giving a warning, she glanced at Kong Hang and said in a condescending tone, "If you want to prove your innocence in court later, you will not only have to face Fang Wenbin, but also our lawyer Zhuo's questioning. Got it?"

   Kong Hang was shocked when he heard this, and was speechless for a while.

   Aren't we all defendants, aren't we all our own?

  Why do your own people make trouble for your own people?

   Fortunately, Zhang Wei put his hand on his shoulder as a sign of comfort.

   "Auntie, you really have a good plan, but you are not afraid that I can produce evidence to prove Kong Hang's innocence?"

   "Humph, joke!"

  Li Qinghe didn't care at all about Zhang Wei's "braveness", and even wanted to laugh.

"Who do you think you are, you are a rookie lawyer, and you dared to go against the sky just a few days after you came out of law school? What can you do in a weekend? It is estimated that you are at home for two days and you are writing drafts of closing arguments. ?"

   Having said this, Li Qinghe finally laughed, even a little presumptuous.

   She didn't care about Zhang Wei at all.

   It is ridiculous that a new lawyer can catch the real prisoner in two days on weekends!

   "Anyway, you are Xiaoyueyue's aunt, can't you save me some face?" Zhang Wei looked at Li Qinghe, who was stunned, speechless.

   "Face is also given to each other. Since you are so uncooperative, why should I give you face!"

Li Qinghe said, as if he remembered something, "By the way, I was going to let you into our Aoki before, but according to lawyer Zhuo, you haven't signed the entry agreement yet, so this matter will be voided. , we Aoki do not welcome people like you!"

   "Auntie, why are you doing this? Can't we all show affection for each other?"

   "I said, face is given to each other, but you are not qualified!"

   Hearing Li Qinghe say this, Zhang Wei shook his head.

   "Okay, since that's the case, then Auntie, don't blame me later!"

   He said the next ruthless words, and gestured directly to Kong Hang, and the two walked out of the preparation room.

  This place, don't wait!

   But before leaving, he asked Wang Dayang, who was standing aside, with a look, and the latter nodded slightly.

  Zhang Wei instantly understood, and the corners of his mouth raised a slight arc!

   He took Kong Hang directly to the court scene, sat down on the defense table, and began to wait for the hearing.

   A few minutes later, Li Qinghe also walked in with a group of people. She and Lawyer Zhuo escorted Wang Xi to the defense table next to Zhang Wei.

   There was no communication between the two sides, only Kong Hang looked at Wang Xi from time to time, and the latter kept his head buried and did not dare to respond.

   Not long after, Fang Wenbin from the District Prosecutor's Office arrived.

   He looked at the two on the defense table and snorted coldly.

   Because of the two days over the weekend, neither defense has reached a plea agreement with the prosecution.

   Not only did Kong Hang not plead guilty, but even Wang Xi did not mean to plead guilty at all.

   Kong Hang's condition is that as long as he pleads guilty, his sentence will be halved.

  Wang Xi doesn't even need to go to jail, he just needs to stand up and testify against Kong Hang.

   This is a "favorable" condition that no one in the industry dares to think about. He thinks that if he is the defense, he will agree to it without even thinking about it.

   But the fact is no, no one agreed!

   "I don't know how to flatter me. Since you all rejected my kindness, don't blame me!"

   Looking at the defender, Fang Wenbin's face was gloomy.

  Because the advantage is still in his hands, and in today's trial, he doesn't even need to speak.

   As long as the defense and the defense take down each other, it will be fine.

  There is nothing that makes the prosecution more happy than watching the defense lawyers fight in the courtroom.

  Thinking of this, the corners of his mouth raised slightly again, sketching a gloomy arc.

  The advantage is still in our hands, Wenbin!

   Another 20 minutes passed, and it was finally time for the court session.

   "Stand up, Judge Qi enters!"

   Following the announcement of the court guard, Judge Qi took small steps and walked to the courtroom step by step.

   He glanced around and found that there were many people sitting on the hearing bench. After confirming that the jury bench and the prosecution bench and the defense bench were not missing, he knocked on the cone and announced:

   "The trial begins today!"

   "The prosecution has concluded the case statement. It is the defense's turn to present evidence. Which of you will come first?"

   After Li Qinghe gestured for a moment or two, Lawyer Zhuo immediately stood up.

   "Your Majesty, I am the second attorney for the client, Wang Xi. Today, I will represent one of the defense to conduct a court question."

   He first introduced himself, and then applied: "We will be the first to call witnesses to testify in court!"

   Then the door of the court opened wide, and a person who surprised Kong Hang and Zhang Wei appeared.

   The person here is none other than the owner of a trendy bar.

   "Witness, what is your identity?"

   "I'm the owner of a trendy bar, my surname is You!"

   "Hello Boss You, what is your relationship with the defendant Kong Hang?"

   "He's the guy in my resident band at the bar, and I'm the guy who hired him!"

  …

   On the defense table, Kong Hang was puzzled when he saw the bar owner appearing.

   "Lawyer Zhang, why did they call Boss You?"

   "Hmph, it didn't surprise me."

   Zhang Wei glanced at Li Qinghe, who was smugly next door, and asked Kong Hang, "Let me ask you, where did you and your ex-girlfriend meet?"

   "It's the bar where I work."

   "Then you and your ex-girlfriend met several times before, and they were all at the bar, right?"

"Yes!"

   "Well then, they want the bar owner to prove that you and your ex-girlfriend met several times before the robbery, and you may be discussing the details of the jewelry store robbery."

"This……"

   Hearing Zhang Wei's explanation, Kong Hang was confused.

   Can still do this, this Li Qinghe actually played such an abacus.

   Isn't this just pushing me out to be a scapegoat?

   "So, there are some things that really can't be done, but my aunt, I really don't plan to leave you behind!"

   Zhang Wei looked at Li Qinghe, who had a smug expression at the next table, and sighed in his heart.

  Since you've made a start, don't blame me for being ruthless.

   After today, I will be without your auntie!
