Crazy, You Call This a Trainee Lawyer Chapter 429

   Chapter 429 Old talk about self-evidence, Hou Liangliang suddenly shot a cold arrow

   Court scene.

   followed Chef Wang off the witness stand.

   In the jury and hearing benches, many people whispered and whispered.

  Zhang Wei's eyes were solemn. He looked at Chef Wang's back and had some thoughts in his heart.

   "The prosecution?"

   On the court seat, Judge Liu continued to urge.

   "Judge Liu, the prosecution has decided not to present any more evidence and end the opening statement!"

   Hou Liangliang had no strong witnesses on hand, so he decided to temporarily give up the stage.

   But he doesn't have no back moves, and even has a killer move in his hands.

   "After the defendant goes to court, I want you to look good!"

  Hou Liangliang's eyes fixed on Zhang Wei and the defendant's old talk, with a ruthless and proud face.

   "Lawyer Zhang, now it's your turn to speak."

   With Judge Liu's reminder, Zhang Wei got up.

   He glanced at the hearing and witness boxes, and finally made a choice.

   "The defense summoned the defendant Tan Zhiqi to testify in court."

   For the defendant to appear in court, everyone expressed no surprise, which is also the most commonly used routine for the defense

   As the audience watched, the old talk went to court step by step.

   "Hello, Mr. Tan Zhiqi."

   "Good, Lawyer Zhang."

   "As the defendant in this case, I believe you have been under a lot of stress recently, right?"

   "Yes, it's so stressful, I can't sleep at night these days."

   Old talk, with vicissitudes on his face, and a trance on his face.

   "When Chef Wang testified in court just now, he said that your thoughts were not on the restaurant recently. Is that true?"

   "Half and half..."

   "Oh, Mr. Tan, what is half and half?"

  The old talk organized the language in his mind: "My heart has always been in the restaurant, but suddenly there is a woman in my life, and then a son, it is difficult to choose..."

   "You mean, you haven't really judged that you should focus all your energy on a certain ratio between the three of them, and you haven't found a balance between the three?"

   Lao Tan was stunned for a while, then looked at Zhang Wei in surprise.

   He couldn't help nodding wildly in his heart. As expected of a lawyer, he summed it up so well in such a short period of time.

   "Yes, lawyer Zhang is right, I really did not do this well."

   "Yeah." Zhang Wei nodded, then asked: "Then do you care about the chef industry and your restaurant?"

   "Of course, I definitely care!"

Old Tan's expression lifted, and he immediately said: "I'm a rough man. I came to the city at the age of 14 to learn craftsmanship. I have a son, how could I abandon my career!"

   "Well, it looks like I can really appreciate your love for the restaurant and your profession."

   Zhang Wei nodded pretentiously, although he knew that other people might not understand this kind of thing.

   At the same time, he also looked at the hearing bench and the jury bench. Many people had a good impression because of the sincere and straightforward speech of the old talker.

  Hostility is decreasing!

   Although it cannot be said that it has an advantage, the current situation is also developing in a good direction.

   "Mr. Tan, let's move on to the second question. I want to ask you, when the fire and explosion occurred in your restaurant, it was close to 1 am last weekend. What were you doing at that time?"

"I am home!"

   Lao Tan looked at the jury and said innocently: "At that time, I had already brought my wife and son home, and we must be resting."

   "Indeed, you seem to have left early that day, right?"

   "Yes, I left at about seven or eight that day, because I was going to pick up my wife and son, so I left earlier, and all the staff in the store saw me leaving."

   "After that, you finished picking up your wife and children, and then you went home and never went out again?"

   "Yes, I have been with my wife and son since then. In fact, the next day, on Monday morning, I didn't know that such a big thing happened in the store until the investigation department arrived at my house."

   "Well, I think I get it."

   Zhang Wei also showed his approval.

"I want to make one point, that is, the previous witness Mr. Qi has testified that my client's shop has been cleaned up and the inspection has been completed. Only 7 weeks, a month and a half of oil accumulation is not enough to start a fire ."

   "Then this shows that the fire was not accidental, but possibly man-made. And it was not my client's fault, but someone else intended to set it on fire."

   "At the same time, my client also said that he accompanied his wife and children during the time of the crime, and left the restaurant early, so there is no possibility of committing the crime at all."

   Zhang Wei said, looking at the prosecution seat, "I don't know who this possible arsonist is. Has the prosecution found this person?"

   "If you don't find it, but asking my client to take the blame, isn't it a bit too arbitrary?"

   "Opposition, inflammatory speech!"

   Hearing Zhang Wei's yin and yang anger, Hou Liangliang couldn't help it and stood up directly.

   "Lawyer Zhang, you..."

   "Judge Liu, I'm done!"

   Just when Judge Liu was about to give a warning, Zhang Wei had already accomplished his goal and ended his self-evidence.

The wind direction of the court has indeed changed, because Zhang Wei raised a reasonable doubt.

   Are there any malicious arsonists in this case?

  Because the oil pollution has been cleaned up, the boss of the cleaning company also said that the oil pollution must be accumulated for at least five or six months before it may cause fire and explosion.

   One and a half months is absolutely impossible.

   This rules out the possibility of a fire due to negligence.

   Then the only possibility is that someone is maliciously setting fire to it.

   As the old saying goes, he has an alibi!

   Although the validity of this proof…

   Hou Liangliang stood up at the prosecution table.

   His eyes were solemn and he walked very fast.

   "Defendant, I'm glad you testified in court, this just gives me the opportunity to expose your crime!"

   "What am I guilty of?"

  Old Tan is confused, what did I do?

   "Huh, it looks like you don't want to admit it!"

   Hou Liangliang sneered and pointed to the old talk: "Didn't the defense lawyer say that this case is unlikely to be an accident, but it is very likely that the explosion and fire caused by malicious arson!"

  The old talk is stunned again.

   Zhang Wei said so, but what does it have to do with me, I don't know anything.

   "Defendant, I ask you, did you buy insurance for your store?"

   "Bought."

   "What is the sum assured?"

   "I bought property insurance for shops, and the insured amount is around 3 million."

   "Is it basic insurance?"

"Yes."

   After hearing the affirmative answer, Hou Liangliang recalled it carefully.

   "I remember this insurance. In the event of a fire in the shop, falling objects, or even natural disasters, it will be paid to you, right?"

   "It seems so, that's what the insurance company salesman told me."

   Hearing Lao Tan's answer, Hou Liangliang's face turned cold and his tone was cold: "In other words, could you also set a fire in your restaurant and then maliciously deceive insurance!"

   "Objection, subjective imagination!" Zhang Wei had been waiting for a long time, and immediately got up and interrupted.

   But even so, Hou Liangliang's words have been spoken, and the jury and the hearing bench have also been affected.

   "The objection is valid!" Judge Liu supported Zhang Wei and gave Hou Liangliang a warning look.

   But the latter did not seem to see it, and sneered: "Lawyer Zhang, why are you reacting so quickly, because you are afraid that I will tell the truth and let everyone in the court see the true face of your client?"

   "I just think that if there is no evidence, the prosecution should not guess randomly!"

   "Joke, I have no evidence, how could I say nonsense?"

  Zhang Wei rolled his eyes, don't you blush when you say this?

   When you guessed wildly before, how many times did you directly come up with evidence?

   But this time, Hou Liangliang was ready to fight Zhang Wei to the end.

   "Lawyer Zhang, I will present evidence to prove this matter now!"

   He said, walked to the witness stand, and asked in a cold voice: "Defendant, you said you were at home with your family at the time of the explosion, that is, in the early hours of the weekend and Monday, right?"

"Yes."

   Hou Liangliang sneered and said to the surrounding: "As we all know, in criminal cases, the words of family members, especially wives and children, are the least credible, because they will lie to help their families get out of crime!"

   "But here, I don't have to let them testify in court, and I don't want to worry about this. I just tell everyone that the defendant's so-called alibi is very unreliable."

  Hou Liangliang quickly walked back to the prosecution seat, picked up a document from the table, and began to read it.

   "Defendant, what is the highest annual revenue of your restaurant since it opened?"

   "This..." The old man was a little embarrassed and didn't know how to answer.

   "Can't you answer?"

   Hou Liangliang sneered and opened the document record in his hand, "This is a document for tax prosecution. It is recorded that your restaurant's highest annual net profit is about 150,000 yuan."

   "150,000 a year, this is your net income as a boss after removing labor, operation, water, electricity, gas, security inspection and other expenses. This income needs to be reported to tax, so I can know."

   "150,000 a year, this income is quite good, the monthly income is almost 10,000 yuan, right?"

  The old talk is a little awkward.

  Because that is the highest annual income, in other words, after opening the store for more than ten years, I have not earned so much at other times.

   "But I want to say that with this amount of money in the Eastern Capital, it is obviously impossible to live the life you want, right?"

"This…"

  It's old to talk about helplessness, but it's the truth.

   "By the way, let me ask you, what is your wife Chen Xiaoyu's annual income?"

"This…"

   "I can't answer it, but you should have a general category in your heart, right?"

"This…"

   Lao Tan had an embarrassed look on his face, and glanced at Chen Xiaoyu in the front row of the hearing booth with complicated eyes.

   "Let me tell you, in fact, I didn't expect Chen Xiaoyu to have such a background. He is actually the ex-wife of Zhao Qingyan, the chief R&D officer of Blacksmith Technology!"

   As soon as these words came out, many people in the courtroom were stunned.

  Zhao Qingyan of Blacksmith Technology, who is a celebrity in the Eastern Capital, many of the press conferences and interviews of technology research and development, the other party will go abroad.

   It can even be said that the other party is the facade of blacksmith technology.

   "When Zhao Qingyan and Chen Xiaoyu divorced, he was not yet a member of the board of directors of Blacksmith Technology, but he also invested in a small part of the technology, and he gave a part of it to Chen Xiaoyu as the divorce property."

   "Relying on these stocks, Chen Xiaoyu earns millions of dividends every year, every year, without interruption."

   Hou Liangliang said with emotion: "Defendant, you have worked so hard for so long, don't you earn even your wife's income for a year?"

   As soon as these words came out, Old Tan's expression changed.

   The embarrassment in my heart was poked out in person, and it was still in court.

   "Objection, the question has nothing to do with this case!"

   At the critical moment, Zhang Wei got up and interrupted.

But Hou Liangliang was well prepared, and looked at the bench at the same time, "Judge Liu, I think what I said has a lot to do with this case, it is precisely because the defendant cannot make money, or the defendant is stimulated by the annual dividend income from the stocks held by his wife. , he will have the possibility of malicious arson and defrauding insurance!"

"This…"

   Judge Liu hesitated, but after thinking about it carefully, what the prosecution said did not seem unreasonable.

   "The objection is invalid, the prosecution can continue to speak!"

   This time, Judge Liu did not care about Hou Liangliang's background, but made judgments purely based on the judge's intuition.

   Zhang Wei was helpless and could only sit down angrily.

   Hou Liangliang's smile became even more complacent, "Defendant, is what I said wrong?"

"I…"

   Lao Tan opened his mouth, but didn't know how to refute it.

   "If you don't object, it means you have acquiesced!"

   Hou Liangliang naturally pushed the boat along the way, and directly confirmed this matter.

   "Okay, then, let me ask you again, have you ever had an imbalance in your heart? Why did Lao Tzu work so hard for a year to earn so little money?"

   "But my wife Chen Xiaoyu, she does nothing for a year, but can make money that she may not make in her whole life?"

   Lao Tan didn't speak this time, just looked at Hou Liangliang with resentment.

  What does he hate? Naturally, he hates the other party for exposing this matter in public.

   "Are you under a lot of pressure and feel that if you don't make money, you can't raise your head for the rest of your life?"

   "Did you come up with the idea of ​​defrauding insurance at this time, and decided to 'earn' enough money through insurance compensation?"

   Following Hou Liangliang's speech, the atmosphere in the courtroom also became tense.

   In the hearing box, Chen Xiaoyu held Tan Xiaozhi's hands and clenched a lot unconsciously.

Tan Xiaozhi in his arms felt his mother's abnormality and looked at the witness stand again. He felt that his father was about to cry.

   In the hearing box, on the jury box, many people looked at the old talk with strange eyes.

   This man is really difficult. He works hard and earns only a lot of money in a year. As a result, his wife does not work every day, and can earn dozens or even hundreds of times your money every year.

   Whose heart can be balanced?

  Which man can accept this fact?

  If you can't accept it, is it normal to have the idea of ​​making money in your heart?

  The direction of the court is quietly changing.

  Although Hou Liangliang did not show evidence of the stone hammer, everyone would unconsciously think about this aspect.

   Because many people will put themselves into the perspective of the old talk, put themselves into it, and then they will find that they will have similar ideas.

  My wife earns so much money that I doubt my life.

   What should I do at this time?

  Some people are shameless, lie flat, and plan to rely on their wives to eat and wait to die, so that they can live their lives.

After all, people like    are in the minority, and many people can't hold this face.

   And what about the other part, or the vast majority?

  I will think about relying on my own efforts to catch up with my wife and have an equal status with her.

  It is one thing to have this mind, but it is another thing to have this ability.

   Facts have proved that ideals are beautiful and reality is cruel.

   It's really hard for us to make millions a year casually. Even if we work hard, we won't be able to earn that much money.

   Thinking like this, is it possible to cheat insurance with a trick?

  Many people in the court had this idea. They looked at the old talk and showed understanding.

   But understanding is understanding, and they also believe that the old talker will do it nine times out of ten.

   Then, the person who set the fire must be him!

   "Defendant, let me ask again, is it because of your wife's income that you have an unbalanced heart, so you choose to maliciously set fire to your own shop, and defraud the bank for a large amount of insurance!"

   "I, I don't..." The old man quickly denied it.

   "Oh yeah, you don't?"

   But Hou Liangliang sneered and sneered, "If you don't, why don't I believe it?"

   "Objection, inflammatory speech, Judge Liu asks you to do justice to my client!"

   Zhang Wei couldn't bear it anymore, interrupted Hou Liangliang directly, and pulled out Xiao Liu.

   "Objection is valid!"

   Judge Liu also spoke at the right time and warned the prosecution with his eyes.

  Unfortunately, both Judge Liu and Zhang Wei knew it was too late.

  Because of the old talk on the witness stand, his face was stunned at this moment, as if he had accepted his fate.

   This expression seems to tell everyone that I am guilty.

   "It's not good!"

   Zhang Wei shook his head when he saw this scene.

   "Cough, it's a little late today, let's have a court session tomorrow!"

   At the critical time, Judge Liu's speech interrupted all this.

   After checking the time, he directly rang the gavel and announced a temporary adjournment.

  The court was dissolved, and everyone left the venue one after another.

   At the prosecution table, Xiao Baihe and Tan Yingying got up and looked at Zhang Wei with some confusion.

   Even if they didn't speak in court, they knew that Zhang Wei was going to lose.

  The wind direction of the court is very unfavorable for the defense.

   "Good guy, the attorney general's son is going to win?"

   In the hearing box, Zhao Chunming was also a little stunned, completely unable to accept this fact.

   They always felt that Zhang Wei was like a big mountain, blocking them in front of their headquarters.

   But I didn't expect to climb over this mountain, it's not difficult at all.

   "Lawyer Zhang, if I were you, I would persuade your client to plead guilty earlier. If he pleads guilty earlier, I might be able to reduce his sentence to 10 years in prison!"

   Hou Liangliang also came to Zhang Wei like a winner.

   "Prosecutor, are you very confident?"

"certainly!"

  Hou Liangliang looked confident and raised his head, "If I were you, it would be time to consider how to defend against guilt!"

   "After all, you maliciously set fire to defraud insurance, and also hurt a person's life by arson. If you let me prove that your defendant has intentionally set fire, he may spend the rest of his life in prison!"

   Silly, Hou Liangliang was very terrified at the moment, as if a winner came to challenge Zhang Wei.

   After the provocation, he naturally walked away, making people want to beat him.

"How about we block him at the door of the ground inspection headquarters, wrap him in a sack, stuff him in the trunk of the car, and then drag him into the woods and beat him up?" Zhao Xiaoxiao couldn't help it anymore, with a look on his face. insidious.

   I have to say, this girl pretended to be a badass and made some dangerous remarks, but still activated the atmosphere.

   "Second daughter, your thoughts are dangerous!"

  Zhang Wei hurriedly interrupted, choking off the idea.

  Illegal things, we can't do it.
