Crazy, You Call This a Trainee Lawyer Chapter 35

  Chapter 35 The Prosecutor makes a move, Zhang Wei's trump card

   The next day, 7 am.

   Zhang Wei got up early, and after cooking breakfast for himself and a freelancer upstairs, he hurried to the court to wait.

   When he came to court, he found that there were more people on the hearing table than the previous days.

"what's the situation?"

   He was a little stunned, but after careful observation, he found the reason.

   Many of the people who come here are in suits and leather shoes, carrying briefcases, and some people greet each other.

   "Morning, lawyer Chen."

   "You're too early, Yuan Lu, how about those cases?"

   "Forget it, the other party doesn't reconcile and will go to court again."

   "That's a headache. By the way, you are here today, is it because you are here to see the fight between the new lawyer and the district attorney's headquarters?"

   "Yes, why don't you come and have a look, that newcomer heard that he was very powerful, and suppressed Prosecutor Xiao Baihe at the local prosecutor's headquarters!"

   "How did I hear that Prosecutor Xiao Baihe is the second seat, and the chief prosecutor seems to be a newcomer?"

   "What about the newcomers, who don't represent the local prosecutor's headquarters?"

   "This is..."

  Emotions come from peers, and all of them are lawyers.

   They were obviously here to watch the fun, and they all wanted to grow their eyes when they heard that they were fighting with the prosecutors at the District Prosecution Headquarters.

boom!

   At this moment, the door of the court was slammed open with a force, and everyone in the court looked at the door.

   I saw that all the prosecutors of the Misdemeanor Division walked in, led by Guo Wufeng, the head of the Minor Crime Division.

   The crowd automatically gave way to Guo Wufeng and his colleagues behind him.

  The lawyers along the way did not dare to look directly at Guo Wufeng. Obviously, the procuratorial headquarters still had a lot of power, and it was not something they could provoke.

   Guo Wufeng walked into the venue and chose a front position.

   A group of subordinates were naturally arranged to the left and right, and all of them were seated.

"Humph!"

   Guo Wufeng snorted coldly when he saw Zhang Wei.

   "Are you going to dismount?" Zhang Wei just smiled slightly, not caring the other's cold face at all.

Not long after   , Zhang Hui also came.

   But as soon as she walked into the courtroom, she felt a completely different atmosphere from yesterday.

   When she saw that all the people from the Misdemeanor Section of the District Prosecution Headquarters had come, Guo Wufeng glared at her, and her legs were a little weak.

   Zhang Hui finally walked to the defense seat tremblingly.

   "Xue, junior, why are all the people from the minor crime department here?" At this moment, Zhang Hui's tongue seemed to be shaking.

   "Calm down, come here, what does it matter?" Zhang Wei didn't care, speaking at a normal speed.

   Zhang Wei's calmness is really exaggerated in Zhang Hui's opinion.

   That's the people from the headquarters of the land inspector, so many are here, are you not afraid at all?

   Zhang Wei is naturally not afraid at all. He still remembers that in his previous life, he went abroad to help the gang boss to fight a lawsuit, and his enemies brought him to court.

  Fortunately, the law and order of the Dragon Kingdom is very good, and there will be no such exaggeration.

   He is not afraid of real guys, and it is naturally even less likely to hurt him with the eyes of a bunch of scumbags.

   Soon, there were more and more people at the court hearing, and the hearing box became lively.

   However, due to the **** of Guo Wufeng and others, a large area of ​​the hearing booth became a "restricted area", and the surrounding area was silent.

   Not long after, prosecutor Tan Yingying entered the venue accompanied by Xiao Baihe.

   Guo Wufeng and Xiao Baihe nodded as a greeting, and then gave Tan Yingying a vicious look, so frightened that the latter did not dare to look up all the way.

   Trial punctuality begins.

   "Stand up, Judge Wang enters!"

   As the judge entered, the entire scene fell silent.

   Judge Wang stepped onto the bench and glanced at the audience.

   "Isn't this Guo Wufeng, you are here too?"

   When he saw Guo Wufeng in the hearing box, he was surprised.

   Then, he sighed: "Forget it, don't put too much pressure on the newcomers, and you should pay more attention to the headquarters of the inspectorate."

   Guo Wufeng did not respond, obviously disagreeing with Judge Wang's words.

   "Let's have a court session!"

After Judge Wang knocked on the cone, he looked at the defense table: "Now it's your defense's turn to call witnesses!"

   Zhang Wei got up: "We summoned the defendant's wife Chen Lan to testify in court!"

   This witness did not surprise anyone. Chen Lan's testimony in court was a fact many people expected.

   The defendant sat beside Zhang Wei, looked at his wife who got up from the hearing box, and nodded slowly.

   The latter responded in the same way, and then sat on the hearing bench.

   Zhang Wei started to ask questions.

   "Ms. Chen Lan, please tell everyone your identity and your relationship with the defendant."

   "I am the defendant's wife, and we got married last spring."

   "Well, it's the newlyweds." Zhang Wei nodded, and then asked, "Then may I ask, do you remember what happened last week on the 4th night?"

   "Of course, it's impossible for me to forget!" Chen Lan nodded, and then began to state: "It was around 8 o'clock in the evening, my husband and I were shopping in the center of Oriental Metropolis..."

  Chen Lan began to narrate the incident. She described the incident from several aspects from the perspective of the parties involved and from the perspective of bystanders.

In the incident, she and Lin Xiao were a young couple shopping. They originally came to the city center happily, but when they were shopping on Jinnan Road, they met four drunken men. The initial friction was just walking. When I met Wei Hong, but just like this, it caused a conflict between the two sides. The two sides changed from the initial dispute to the hands-on. In order to protect her, Lin Xiao was slapped by Wei Hong. The former was out of breath and pushed Wei Hong away. Wei Hong was so drunk that Ling Ding was so drunk that he could not stand even when walking, and fell down accidentally. Afterwards, Chen Lan Screaming for help, the field service of the Wushu Association finally came. However, after the field staff came, they ignored Chen Lan's call, but reported it to the headquarters and brought back five men, including Lin Xiao. The next scene was the bail court.

  Chen Lan's narration is over, there are no ups and downs in the plot, just simply tell the events, but this is enough.

   "So, my client is trying to protect you, so he pushed away Wei Hong who might threaten you?"

   "He was drunk, very drunk, and I was very scared at the time." Chen Lan said with a hint of panic on her face.

   "I can imagine, four strong men, drunk and even lost their basic cognitive abilities, ghosts know what they can do!"

   "Objection!" Tan Yingying stood up and retorted: "The defense lawyer is leading the witness to speculate!"

   "Sorry, I retract the question just now!" Zhang Wei smiled apologetically, even reacting in advance before the judge reminded him.

   But both Tan Yingying and Xiao Baihe knew that Zhang Wei asked this on purpose.

   "The last question, did you see whether the deceased Wei Hong was pushed to the ground by your husband or by himself?"

Chen Lan thought for a moment, then shook her head and said, "I didn't see it, but I think he is more likely to fall than someone else. At that time, his legs were unstable. If the four of them didn't walk together, he might have You can't get out of Jinnan Road."

   "Objection, guide the witness to speculate!"

   "Sorry, Your Excellency Judge, I can't take it anymore." Seeing the judge's bad face, Zhang Wei immediately apologized.

   "The objection is valid, the jury please ignore the witness's answer just now!"

   "Last question, Ms. Chen Lan, did you drink that day?"

   "We ate at a restaurant in the city center that day, and the drink was fruit tea. Neither my husband nor I drank!"

   "Oh, you didn't drink, it seems that the accomplices of the deceased framed you, they are really bad!"

   Zhang Wei said, looking at the jury with a smile.

"be opposed to!"

   "Sorry Your Honor, I have no problem!"

  Tan Yingying objected, but Zhang Wei had already ended the questioning and returned to the defense seat.

  The jurors have different expressions, but they are all thinking about the witness's words. This scene is to increase the pressure on the two people in the prosecution seat.

   "Yingying, take this and exert your due strength!"

  Xiao Baihe handed a document to Tan Yingying, and then encouraged her.

   "Mmmm, I'll do my best, Miss Lily!"

  Tan Yingying trotted all the way to the witness stand.

   And Zhang Wei was observing the document in Tan Yingying's hand.

   "Junior, how is it, I think it's stable!" Zhang Hui looked behind him and asked cautiously.

   "Sister, what are you talking about, the trial is not until the last moment, the outcome is unknown, I advise you not to be too confident." Zhang Wei did not overconfidence.

  The lion fights the rabbit with all his strength. Even in the face of weak opponents, he will not be arrogant and conceited. This is his experience in court trials.

   Zhang Hui obviously has never experienced beatings in society!

   "If nothing major happens, this one should be stable, but what I care about is Xiao Baihe. She looks prepared today. I don't know what kind of attack this ace prosecutor will launch!"

  Zhang Wei thought about it and looked back at a certain Hanhan in the hearing booth.

   The latter just happened to look over, and the two looked at each other.

  Hanhan smiled, and Zhang Wei also smiled.

   "I hope you don't use that trick, otherwise it will be too unfriendly to this new prosecutor..."

In court, cross-examination begins.

  Tan Yingying, as the prosecutor, naturally asked Chen Lan to ask questions.

   She comforted herself in her heart, took a deep breath, and said this time, "Ms. Chen Lan, what you said was wonderful, but I doubt what you said."

   "What do you mean?" Chen Lan frowned slightly, puzzled.

   "It's very simple, you are Lin Xiao's wife, how do I know if you will lie to help your husband get out of the crime?"

   "I'm not lying, I'm telling the truth!"

   "No one can guarantee this, because we are not there!"

  Tan Yingying said, but opened the document in her hand and took out a record.

   "Ms. Chen Lan, did you visit your husband Lin Xiao while he was in detention?"

   "Yes, I went to see him once."

   "Then you should remember that after your husband was imprisoned that day, because the martial arts association felt that your husband was irritable, it separated the two of you and could only use the internal phone to contact the matter."

   "Yes, I remember."

   "Then did you know that there is a written record of this meeting!"

  Tan Yingying said, raising the document in her hand.

   Apparently, this is the written record.

"Objection!" Zhang Wei immediately stood up and retorted in court: "Your Excellency, this record is not in the list of exhibits, and we have not even seen this record, which obviously violates the principle of publicity of exhibits and cannot be accepted. as evidence!"

   Tan Yingying was taken aback by Zhang Wei's rebuttal, but she still raised the courage to rebut: "Your Excellency, this document can prove the credibility of the witness, please approve it."

  The judge considered for a moment, and finally nodded: "The objection is invalid, and this record can be adopted as a document."

   Zhang Wei sat down helplessly, but he knew in his heart that he might not be able to be kind today.

   "Ms. Chen Lan, please do me a favor, can you read this passage?"

The    document was handed to Chen Lan, and Chen Lan's expression changed.

   But in the end, she recited:

   "Husband, I'm going to ask a lawyer to rescue you, you have to be careful inside, I'll explain it to my parents..."

   "If I can, I will definitely find a way to save you..."

   "Otherwise we will tell the Wushu Association, it's not you who pushed that person..."

   "Stop!" Tan Yingying suddenly called out and stopped Chen Lan's reading.

   "That's right here. In the record of the call between you and the defendant Lin Xiao, it is clear that you will give perjury!"

  Tan Yingying changed her previous cowardly behavior and said in a tough tone: "Since you are going to testify perjury, what reason do we have to believe you in what you said in court today!"

   "Objection, the prosecution's lawyer is testifying by himself, our witness has no intention of perjuring, but the lawyer is confidently speculating on the witness's words and deeds!"

   "The objection is valid!" Judge Wang knocked on the cone, then looked at the jury: "Please ignore the statement just now!"

  Although the judge said so, Zhang Wei knew that the jury should not ignore these words.

   "Your Honor, I have no problem!"

  Tan Yingying hurried back to the prosecution seat, her legs were weak and she almost sat down.

  's performance just now has overdrawn her courage for several days, and she has to ask questions in front of the judge, which makes this new prosecutor a little scared.

   But the result is good, the jury is already thinking about what they just said.

   "Yingying, you are doing very well, the jury has begun to suspect!" Xiao Baihe, who was beside him, hurriedly encouraged her.

Her eyes looked at Zhang Wei, and her expression was full of confidence: "Next, this guy can only let the defendant testify in court, but we have all transferred the defendant's record files. If she goes to court, you can let that person testify. Guys know what cruelty is!"

  There is only one witness left for the defense, and that is the defendant himself in court.

   It can be said that this time is a real lore!

   As long as Zhang Wei takes the bait and falls into the trap prepared by her Xiao Baihe, this trial will be a complete victory for the District Prosecution Headquarters!

   And Zhang Wei, will he take the bait?

   "Your Majesty, we are going to call the next witness to testify in court!"

   "Well, yes, the defendant, please prepare!"

   "Your Honor, the witness we are calling is not the defendant!"

   Judge: "Huh?"

   Not only was the judge dumbfounded, but so were many people on the hearing stand.

   They all think that Zhang Wei can only subpoena the defendant, but cross-examination will definitely fall into the trap of the District Prosecution Headquarters, but why does Zhang Wei seem to have not followed the script?

  Tan Yingying, Guo Wufeng, Xiao Baihe, and even other lawyers in the hearing booth all looked at Zhang Wei.

   "The witness we want to call is not the defendant, but a new witness!"

   "Yingying!" Xiao Baihe hurriedly poked the next door with his elbow.

   "Objection!" Tan Yingying stood up immediately, and said again forcefully: "Your Majesty, the defense did not register this witness on the list..."

   "Your Honor, the witness is in court, and I can assure you that she is more than happy to testify."

   in court?

  The judge is also stunned, who are you talking about?

   "Both of you, bring it up to me."

  Tan Yingying and Zhang Wei stepped forward and came to the seat of the trial seat.

   "Lawyer Zhang, are you sure that the witness is in court and willing to be questioned?"

   "Of course, I'm 100% sure, and the testimony of the witnesses is crucial!"

   Looking at Zhang Wei's confident performance, Tan Yingying panicked for no reason.

   "But, Your Honor, isn't this..."

   "Since everyone is here, let the witnesses come up."

  Tan Yingying wanted to refute, but the judge decided it.

   "Prosecutor Tan, don't blame me!"

   Zhang Wei smiled at Tan Yingying, but the latter did not realize that there was some meaning in this smile.

  The two returned to their seats again, and the judge also announced in time: "The next witness of the defense, please prepare to appear in court!"

   "Okay, Your Honor!" Zhang Wei shook his clothes, looked at the prosecution seat, and said with a smile:

   "What the defense wants to subpoena is... Tan Yingying, the prosecutor of the Misdemeanor Division of the District Prosecutor's Office, I want to ask her to testify in court!"

   Hearing Box: ? ? ?

   Jury: ! !

   Prosecution seat: ? ! ?

   There was an uproar in the audience, and everyone was stunned when they heard this sentence!

"what!"

   "Tan Yingying?"

   "This, what is this trick?"

   "Let the prosecutor testify in court!"

   "This kid, how dare he?"

  The lawyers on the hearing stand and the prosecutors of the misdemeanor department were all shocked by Zhang Wei's unbelievable behavior.

  Subpoenaing prosecutors to testify in court, and also as adversary prosecutors, is something that would never have happened in their decades-long careers.

   But this kid, he actually made it!

   "Impossible, Yingying won't testify in court, she's not even a case associate!"

  Xiao Baihe immediately stood up and opposed the proposal.

   Zhang Wei smiled and said: "There is no provision in the court trial law that the prosecution cannot be called as a witness. Since the law does not prohibit it, it can be done, then I call Tan Yingying as a witness, there is no problem!"

   "One more thing, isn't Prosecutor Xiao Baihe so excited that he forgot that he was just listening in. Isn't your spokesperson Tan Yingying, the chief prosecutor, why did you jump out first?"

   "You..." Xiao Baihe was so angry at Zhang Wei's words that she was speechless for a while.

   Zhang Wei ignored her, but looked at the people around her.

   "Prosecutor Tan Yingying, don't stand still, go to the witness stand, everyone is waiting for you!"

  Tan Yingying didn't know how to object, so she could only stand up from her seat, walked to the witness stand, and finally sat down.

   She didn't even know why she came up and what she had to be questioned about.

   "Prosecutor Tan Yingying, don't be nervous, I won't do anything to you, I just need you to answer a few 'simple' questions. It will be over soon."

   Zhang Wei showed a warm smile, but in Tan Yingying's eyes, this smile was a little scary.

   As for Zhang Wei, after confirming that Tan Yingying appeared in court, he winked at Xia Qianyue in the hearing box.

   The latter immediately understood, picked up a piece of cardboard from the ground, and stepped forward.

   Obviously, this piece of cardboard is crucial.

   Zhang Wei took the cardboard and walked to the court.

   "Prosecutor Tan Yingying, please answer me, what exactly is recorded on this cardboard?"

   When Tan Yingying saw the contents on the cardboard, her expression was slightly surprised.

   How did the other party get this thing?

   This was the only question in her mind at the moment.
