Crazy, You Call This a Trainee Lawyer Chapter 226

   Chapter 226 Can't find clues, looking for character witnesses?

   Court scene.

   Both the plaintiff and the defendant are screening jurors.

   "May I ask this lady, what do you think of handsome men?"

   "Excuse me, sir, do you have any doubts about the motives of the opposite **** when you are courting you?"

   "This old gentleman, what do you think of the unusually intimate behavior between young couples, do you think these behaviors are immoral?"

   "Madam, what would you do if your child had a conflict with someone else?"

   Hearing these questions, Zhang Wei, who was sitting in the front row of the hearing, yawned with a dull expression on his face.

   "My dear, is this how you do the screening of the jury? The questions are very one-sided, so you almost write the purpose on your face!"

   "That Chen Paulo's routine is very simple. I didn't expect Uncle to be like this, so he can't be a bit technical?"

  Zhang Wei muttered, a little disappointed with this pre-trial question.

   His eyes swept to the jury bench, and the six-member jury finally finished the screening under the questions of Li Qingmu and Chen Paul.

   There are six people, most of them are elderly, which is obviously not a good thing for the defendant Xia Qianjun.

  Because young people may not reject intimate actions, but older people are generally more traditional and may not accept relatively large-scale actions between couples.

   And the older people are generally more conservative and traditional, and they will consider it a crime for some out-of-class actions.

   All in all, the jury is good for the plaintiff and bad for the defendant.

   But there is nothing you can do. Young people generally don't like being a juror, they will think it's a waste of time.

   And the court is not very likely to find young people with unstable jobs to join the jury. Young people are generally more impulsive, and it is difficult to make a rational decision.

   Therefore, in the first round, Zhang Wei thought that the uncle had suffered a loss.

   "Very good, we have a jury!"

   At the trial seat, Ni Qiuping nodded with satisfaction, then opened the memorandum to check the time.

   "This court announces the end of the pre-trial, and the court will officially open this Wednesday. Please prepare your statement for the plaintiff!"

   The court was dissolved as she announced the court time.

  The people in the hearing booth left one after another.

  Laura got up first and left the courtroom under the **** of her subordinates.

   But before leaving, she and Chen Paul winked.

   The latter understood and went straight to the dock.

   "Lawyer Li, this is our witness list!"

   Paul Chen handed over a piece of paper, and Li Qingmu naturally took it and glanced at it.

   There are not many names on the list. Li Qingmu looked at a few and found that they were all family members and friends of Ji Guoguo.

   However, as an experienced lawyer, one thing is naturally clear, that is, the names on the witness list, generally not all witnesses.

  Especially in criminal courts, both the prosecution and the defense are hiding "kill moves", and this kill move will not be disclosed to the other party before the court session.

   "By the way, our eldest lady said that I hope you will seriously consider the settlement agreement. If you agree, William International can help you pay the compensation, and you don't even need to pay the money back!"

  Li Qingmu sneered when he heard this request.

   Because at the weekend, Zhang Wei had already broken William International's abacus.

   What they are looking at is the series of impacts brought about by the case, but the profit from the case itself is too small, and William International doesn't care about the hundreds of thousands of compensation.

The meaning of    Paul Chen is also very obvious. He wants to use a mere hundreds of thousands in exchange for huge benefits.

  Li Qingmu, naturally he would not agree.

   "Lawyer Chen, we appreciate your kindness, but a mere 100,000 yuan can be exchanged for such huge benefits. Is your wishful thinking..."

   "Lawyer Li, it's not a wise move to reject our William International's goodwill. You will regret it when the court opens on Wednesday!"

   "I, Li Qingmu, would like to see the means of your William International!"

   "That means we don't have to talk?"

  Chen Paul saw that Li Qingmu had made up his mind, looked at Xia Qianjun deeply, and left with a smile.

   Ji Guoguo's family also walked out of the court with Paul Chen.

   But when she left, she looked at Xia Qianjun, full of badness.

   Similarly, Ji Guoguo's family looked at Xia Qianjun with complete hostility.

   "Let's go, let's go back and discuss countermeasures!"

  Li Qingmu didn't think much about it, he urged him to leave.

   On the other side, Zhang Wei was stopped by a certain court guard.

   It turned out that Ni Qiuping entrusted Tingwei with a sentence.

   "Judge Ni said, please be honest, this trial has brought a lot of pressure on her, and she is about to be depressed! She also said, you know what she means."

After   Tingwei finished speaking, Zhang Wei let him leave.

   "Good guy, why is this Judge Ni depressed every day?"

   Someone couldn't help but complain, but he still understood what Ni Qiuping meant.

  This woman thought that she would be able to relax for a few days when she returned to the civil court, but she didn't expect that the first case she just came back happened to meet him.

  Ni Qiuping knows that if Zhang Wei is involved in a case, it will highlight a difficult problem.

   So she could only give a verbal warning, hoping that Zhang Wei could understand the general situation, and don't make some fools for her.

   Will Zhang Wei be honest?

   It depends on the situation. If the court trial is going normally, he will naturally not make a big noise.

   But if Uncle can't control the situation, then don't blame Zhang Wei for meddling...

After the pre-trial, Zhang Wei did not participate in the countermeasures meeting between Li Qingmu and Xia Qianjun.

  Because he knew that even if he participated, he would not be able to speak.

  Li Qingmu is a very assertive lawyer. He has a set of his own ideas and may listen to the advice of others, but he definitely does not include the junior Zhang Wei.

   Especially in this case, Li Qingmu is now in charge of the whole process, Zhang Wei only needs to understand the progress.

   As for Li Qingmu's methods, we will have to wait until Wednesday to find out.

  Tuesday, a peaceful day.

  Jincheng Law Firm, Criminal Division Office.

   "Old iron, I'm going out to collect the wind!"

   Zhang Wei reported to the leader, and then left the office under the watchful eyes of his friends.

   Seeing this scene, Lin Yumeng was a little curious, Li Yueqin was a little envious, and Tie Ruyun was depressed.

   The young apprentice felt that the master seemed to be very busy recently.

   But what exactly is she busy with, she doesn't know.

  Xiao Li is envious of Zhang Wei's freedom to come and go, and the ability to complete cases independently. She still needs to continue to study and improve, and strive to narrow the gap with Zhang Wei as soon as possible.

  Tie Ruyun is complaining. Are you the leader or I am the leader? I miss work every day, right?

   Zhang Wei doesn't know what his friends think, he has now come to the coffee shop where the crime happened.

   "Zhang Wei!"

   "Hanhan!"

   At the entrance of the coffee shop, Xia Qianyue was already waiting here in a set of white loose sportswear.

   "Sure enough, loose clothes are suitable for Hanhan!"

  Because the overall looseness of the sweatshirt covers the upper body, it is the best choice for a girl like Xia Qianyue who has a delicate appearance but an unpredictable chest.

   Looking at it from a distance, Xia Qianyue is a youthful sports girl, her whole body is full of vigor.

  Zhang Wei hurried over and turned with the opponent.

   "Let's investigate together today?" Xia Qianyue blinked her eyes with excitement.

   "Of course, but have you asked for leave?"

   "Hmmm, Team Wu let me go all afternoon, and also said that during the trial in heaven, they can give me another day off. Anyway, I have a lot of annual leave, and I can come to see the court in the next few days!"

   Hearing Xia Qianyue say this, Zhang Wei was helpless.

  I worked overtime for the serious crime team before, and the vacation I saved up finally has a place to use it.

   "Okay, let's go in and ask first!"

  Zhang Wei took the lead into the coffee shop, and Xia Qianyue naturally followed.

   "Hello, we are from the investigation department. Excuse me, did you see this girl and this boy during the weekend?"

   In front of the coffee shop's counter, Zhang Wei asked Xia Qianyue to take out the ID of the serious crime team, and then handed out two photos of Xia Qianjun and Ji Guoguo.

   "I have a little impression of this handsome guy. For girls, this face..."

   The waiter looked at the two photos with a weird expression.

  Although Xia Qianjun is cold, his appearance is very good and memorable.

   As for Ji Guoguo, who is wearing makeup and has a proper internet celebrity face, there are many similar girls in their coffee shop now, which is really hard to recognize.

   "Little Zhu, come over here, I remember you were there on the weekend, do you remember this person?"

   A waitress put down the broom in her hand and hurried over.

   "I remember him, that handsome guy. It seems that he had a conflict with a girl behind him. People grabbed his hand and called him indecent!"

   When the waitress saw Xia Qianjun's photo, her face flushed slightly, and she recalled.

  No way, she naturally kept her heart when she saw the handsome guy.

   "Did you see them arguing?"

   "That's not true. They are sitting in the corner. That position is quite out of the way. We can't usually take care of it."

  The waiter said, and explained again: "Our waiters need to see and listen to all directions. Otherwise, it is very difficult for us to take care of all the customers in such a large area, and there is no way to do everything."

  Zhang Wei glanced around. The space of this coffee shop is not small. It is divided into several areas, front and rear, left and right. After removing a bar, there are fifty or sixty small tables.

The    space is indeed large, but because of this, it is difficult to find eyewitnesses.

   "Coffee shop surveillance, please let's take a look!"

   "Okay, please come with me!"

  The male waiter took Zhang Wei and Xia Qianyue into the back office and turned on a computer.

   "This is the impact of surveillance. The surveillance is here on weekends and the whole day. We only have 3 cameras in our store, and I don't know if that corner can be photographed..."

  The waiter said, and adjusted the monitoring to the weekend, and Zhang Wei and Xia Qianyue began to watch.

   "Hey, isn't this you?" Suddenly, the waiter saw a picture with a surprised look on his face.

   Because he saw Zhang Wei walked into the coffee shop with a blonde beauty, and the two seemed to be holding hands.

   The waiter trembled and turned back with difficulty.

   Fortunately, the expected scene did not appear, Zhang Wei's face was calm, and Xia Qianyue on the side did not break out as expected.

   "You don't have time on the weekend, I can only make an appointment with Jessica, but Radish missed the appointment again..." Zhang Wei explained, and finally sighed.

   "That's my fault, I apologize, if I could go that day, this kind of thing would never have happened to my brother." Xia Qianyue looked apologetic, as if admitting her mistake.

  Fuck!

   The waiter was stunned when he saw this scene.

   He glanced at Zhang Wei carefully again, secretly thinking that this kid is not handsome, how can he get such a simple girl?

   And that's not all, he brought a big-breasted blonde to the store for coffee that day.

   How did you manage to hook up with two at the same time, and still be so harmonious?

   The male waiter's gaze towards Zhang Wei began to change, becoming a little jealous.

   He was planning in his mind whether to learn from Zhang Wei or not. He just wanted to ask the little girl in the store to go shopping for dinner and watch a movie.

   Zhang Wei didn't know what the waitress was thinking, he was watching the surveillance meticulously.

  Unfortunately, in such a big place, there are only 3 surveillance cameras, and the locations of Xia Qianjun and Ji Guoguo were not photographed.

   "The surveillance was filmed here. There is only a picture of the two leaving after the accident. There is no situation at the time of the accident."

  The waiter pressed pause, then pointed to the screen where Xia Qianjun was leaving.

   It seemed that Xia Qianjun wanted to go out, but Ji Guoguo stopped him, and the two seemed to have a verbal conflict when they left.

   However, based on what Zhang Wei knew about Xia Qianjun, he would never attack civilians, let alone women.

   Then it is very likely that the situation at the time was that Ji Guoguo unilaterally suppressed Xia Qianjun, and Xia Qianjun could not break free.

   "Zhang Wei, how are you?"

   "It's a bit difficult..."

   Facing Xia Qianyue's inquiry, Zhang Wei showed a hint of helplessness.

  The surveillance did not capture the time of the crime, and the waiter in the coffee shop could not provide valid evidence, which means there was no evidence.

  Once you lose strong eyewitnesses and testimonies, the case of a boy molesting a girl will depend on the self-evidence of both parties.

   And in this case, girls are often on the favorable side.

  For ordinary female victims, as long as they walk to the courtroom, show off their acting skills, or shake a tear, they can often impress jurors.

  Once the jurors have sympathy for the victim, the winds of the court are one-sided.

   "This is my contact information, if any customer remembers what happened that day, they can contact me!"

  Zhang Wei left a number for the waiter and left in disappointment.

   The male waiter was helpless and could only sigh, but he could not learn from Zhang Wei.

   However, after he returned to his workstation, he hesitated for a moment, and still called the waitress Xiao Zhu.

   "Little Zhu, how about I treat you to coffee tonight?"

   "Ah, coffee?"

   "Oh, let's not drink coffee, how about going to a movie together, I actually have a good impression of you?"

   "Brother Liu, I know you're a good person, but we're not really suitable, and I'm out to work, so I don't have any plans to talk about friends for the time being..."

   Hearing Xiao Zhu's answer, the male waiter, Brother Liu's expression, didn't hold back after all.

   "If it's a boy who comes on the weekend, I might think about it..."

   But Xiao Zhu whispered something, and walked away as soon as he blushed.

   Sure enough, only good looks can have food!

   Brother Liu's heart collapsed.

   He thought of Zhang Wei again, obviously not good-looking, how did the other party get the two girls?

   If Zhang Wei knew about it, he would definitely say to Brother Liu with a smile: I am attracted to women by talent!

  Chengbei District, Aoki Law Firm.

   While Zhang Wei and Xia Qianyue were looking for clues, Li Qingmu was also thinking about countermeasures.

   "I asked Aoki's investigator to question the clerk of the coffee shop at the time, and watched the surveillance video, but unfortunately nothing was gained, and there were no witnesses at the time, so this case can't help you use evidence to clear the accusation!"

   "But it doesn't matter. If there are no eyewitnesses, we can also use self-evidence to clear our grievances, so I asked you to make a list of cousins ​​and choose someone who can prove your character as your character witness!"

  Li Qingmu was talking to Xia Qianjun, who had already written more than a dozen names on the paper.

   "Uncle, I really haven't done anything. Why does it take me so much effort to explain such a thing?"

   "I know you haven't done it, but who made the other party have the heart to make things worse?"

  Li Qingmu is helpless. William International is determined to use this event to promote it. If necessary, they will even let this event spread all over the world.

   "Let's just do our own thing. How's your character witness list?"

   "I have listed all the people who are familiar with me. According to your request, I have even gone through the acquaintances of the War Department."

   "That's good, although the war department is far away from us, but in this case, we still need to rely on the reputation of the war department!"

  Li Qingmu said, picked up the list, and began to filter one by one.

   "Gao Yang and Luo Qi, they are..."

   "They are my two comrades in arms at the same time, and I have a life-long relationship with me. We are all in the same team in the war department!"

   Seeing Xia Qianjun say this, Li Qingmu shook his head: "They can't!"

"why?"

   "Because you also said that you are a deadly friendship, the lawyer of the other party will definitely use this to make a fuss, accusing their testimony of being untrustworthy!"

   "Then there is a junior in my team, two periods younger than us, and we have a good relationship!"

   "You also saved his life?"

"Yes!"

"This…"

  Li Qingmu didn't know how to speak for a while. This nephew is quite capable. During the mission of the War Department, he saved so many lives.

   But the problem also comes, you save them, it is difficult to guarantee that the opponent will not say this: you have saved their lives, and it is likely to make them perjury!

   "Are there any women, did you know any girls in the war department?"

   "There are only a few liaisons, but I have only heard their voices, and I have hardly met them!"

"This…"

  Li Qingmu was speechless. My nephew, your conditions are so good that no girl in the war department really likes you?

  No, no, no, is there something wrong with your sexuality?

  Li Qingmu has a headache. Although these character witnesses can prove Xia Qianjun's character, because Xia Qianjun has saved their lives, they are not the most suitable character witnesses.

   "How long have you been in the special operations team?"

   "Less than a month!"

   "That doesn't work either. The time is too short to serve as a character witness. Apart from your teammates who have acted in the same group in the war department, do you have anyone who knows you?"

   "People who know me... Does a psychologist count? The war department will arrange a psychiatrist to counsel us every quarter?"

   "It's not impossible, you give me your name and contact information, and I'll arrange someone to contact you!"

   Seeing that Xia Qianjun mentioned the psychiatrist, Li Qingmu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

   Finally came a reliable one, just use this person.
