Crazy, You Call This a Trainee Lawyer

Dongfangdu, City Court.

Someone struggled to find a spot in the parking lot outside the courthouse.

Tie Ruyun got out of the car in a hurry, carrying a briefcase in his hand, and rushed to the court in a hurry.

"If I knew it earlier, I wouldn't be driving, why is it so trafficked!"

Although he also has a deep understanding of the traffic in the Eastern Capital.

But he didn't expect that the short ten-minute journey would actually block him for so long.

When Tie Ruyun found the trial site and came to the hearing booth, the pre-trial had already begun.

Fortunately, Bai Ruoyun reserved a seat for him. Fortunately, today is just a preliminary hearing, not the real court day, and the courtroom is not full yet.

When Tie Ruyun sat down, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Director Bai, what's the situation now?"

he asked hastily.

"Now the pre-trial has just started. Both the prosecution and the defense have stated their claims for the trial, and the candidate jurors have also entered the venue. Next, Xiao Zhang should go up to ask questions and screen the jurors, right?"

Although Bai Ruoyun was in the juvenile court, she was also clear about the procedure of the criminal court.

Zhang Wei was about to go up and ask questions.

"Oh, that's good, it's not too late..."

Tie Ruyun patted his chest, took out the thermos from the briefcase, and prepared to drink water.

I was on my way anxiously just now, don't tell me, I'm really thirsty.

While Tie Ruyun was drinking water, Zhang Wei also started to ask questions.

"Hello everyone, jurors. I am the defense lawyer, representing the defendant Zhuo Xiaoting. Now I need to ask you a question. I hope you can answer me honestly."

"Ahem, I would like to ask, did you watch some 'paid content', something that is easy to be 404 when you were a teenager, or after you became an adult?"

puff--

At the hearing stand, Tie Ruyun sprayed without accident.

"Ahem, this kid, what question are you asking? Can this question be asked during the pre-trial?"

On the trial seat, Judge Wang was taking notes with his head down, but after hearing Zhang Wei's question, he raised his head subconsciously.

He looked left and right, and after making sure that no one was looking at him, he looked at the position in front of the jury seat.

After Zhang Wei asked the question, he looked at the jury with a smile.

The jurors looked at each other in blank dismay, and some male jurors who were not young also looked away.

This question is really hard to ask~

Zhang Wei walked up to a female juror and asked with a smile, "Sister, why do you have such a sullen face after hearing my question?"

"Hmph, your question is too vulgar!" The female juror replied with disgust.

"Oh, vulgar?"

Zhang Wei picked up the juror intent form and quickly found the woman's information.

"Key middle school Chinese teacher, part-time head teacher, candidate for outstanding head teacher for three consecutive years..."

After quickly scanning the information, Zhang Wei knew it clearly.

"Judge Wang, the defense thanks the witness for his answer and asks the witness to leave!"

Judge Wang nodded, and made eye contact with the witness. The witness got up and left the seat.

Zhang Wei then turned his attention to the rest of the jurors.

Seeing his eyes, most of the male jurors looked away, not daring to look at Zhang Wei.

There are also several female jurors with shame and anger on their faces, and they also have similar reactions.

"Let's not worry about the question just now. I'm going to ask the second question next. Please listen carefully!"

Hearing what Zhang Wei said, the jurors breathed a sigh of relief.

They were afraid that Zhang Wei would click on them, and they would have to answer the question "Have you seen the 404 content?" How embarrassing would that be?

And at the hearing.

Because of Zhang Wei's operation, some people were also confused.

"Strange, Xiao Zhang's question is quite good, why doesn't he continue to ask?"

Bai Ruoyun looked at Zhang Wei, but asked Tie Ruyun beside him.

She also saw that Zhang Wei's first question was actually very purposeful and targeted. It not only screened out a conservative juror, but also revealed the tolerance of other jurors to obscene information.

If it was her, she would definitely continue to ask this question, and eliminate all jurors with relatively conservative thinking.

"Maybe this kid has his own plans. After all, the defense only has 6 chances to eliminate jurors. That kid doesn't plan to use just one question to screen jurors."

Tie Ruyun explained, but he didn't believe it.

He and Bai Ruoyun had the same idea. This question was very specific, and it was entirely possible to screen a few more jurors.

You only screened out one, it's just...

Suicide!

Not only did they think so, even Zhao Chunming and others on the other side also thought so.

"Zhang Wei's questioning in the first court trial did not exceed our expectations. The conviction in this trial is the crime of disseminating obscene materials for profit. Letting jurors accept stolen goods is a method that many defense lawyers will use, but this kid Only one juror was screened out, and this great opportunity was wasted!"

"Yeah, if I were to come, I would definitely screen out at least three or four jurors! It seems that this kid is at the end of his rope!"

Zhao Chunming and Guo Wufeng were also whispering to each other, discussing in low voices.

Even Xiao Baihe and Tan Yingying in the prosecution seat were the same.

"Why is today's question so normal?"

Xiao Baihe looked at the person who asked the question, but felt something was wrong.

She watched Zhang Wei's previous trial for several times. Isn't this kid always "unconstrained" every time he asks questions? Why is today's question not creative?

"Sister Lily, do I think it's normal?"

Tan Yingying replied in a low voice.

"It's only normal!" Xiao Baihe frowned.

She thought to herself, maybe Zhang Wei felt that he had to be more conservative today, but if you really want to be conservative, you can select a few more jurors for the question just now.

What is the plan to screen only one person?

All in all, the professionals in the court began to guess what Zhang Wei was planning.

"Looking at the expressions of these people, I can tell what they are guessing. Don't you really think that I want to rely on the first question and start screening jurors?"

"As for the first question, I actually didn't intend to screen the jurors, but the woman's expression was too serious just now, I'm embarrassed if I don't screen her out."

"In the first question, I just intended to instill an idea in the jury. Since everyone has accepted the '404 content', they will naturally understand my defendant, that's all."

At this moment, Zhang Wei glanced at the audience, but his heart had already begun to be forced.

If I can be seen by you guys, wouldn't I have regressed?

The real questioning begins now!

"Ahem, jurors, please listen to the second question. Have you all watched the program "Animal World"?"

The jurors looked at each other, and some nodded unconsciously.

This program is a column about animals, a documentary film, which has been broadcast on many popular science channels.

Many people have seen it as children, and the jury is no exception.

"Well, since everyone has seen it more or less, I would like to ask what animal do you like? Is it a wolf that is good at teamwork, or a meerkat with strong sociality, or a lion, the king of the grassland, or the overlord of the jungle? Tiger, primate ancestor monkey?"

Zhang Wei immediately asked a series of questions, which were confusing again.

"Ah, this..."

At the hearing booth, Tie Ruyun was really confused.

Good boy, today is the pre-judgment, you actually talked about "Animal World" with the jurors, what is your purpose?

Don't you want to win the lawsuit?

Bai Ruoyun on the side was also stunned, this topic would never come up even in the juvenile court, let alone the criminal court.

Talking about animals is the first topic they initiate in order to talk to their clients.

This is because their clients are teenagers, and it is difficult to have common topics, so they will talk about these things.

Now you are facing adults, and you are still jurors. Is it appropriate for you to ask this?

"Director Bai, to be honest, it's not the first time I've participated in Zhang Wei's trial, but it's the first time I've watched him select jurors. I really didn't know he would waste such an opportunity!"

Tie Ruyun hurriedly explained, if Bai Ruoyun got angry and blamed himself, wouldn't it be hard for him to walk around.

And next door, the people at the local prosecutor's headquarters had a strange look on their faces.

"it is as expected!"

Zhao Chunming thought to himself, but frowned tightly.

He guessed right, Zhang Wei asked a question for no purpose.

He also couldn't figure it out, how could the master of this kid's question make them unable to figure it out?

He didn't even bother to discuss it with Guo Wufeng beside him, the latter must also be confused.

In fact, he guessed correctly. After Zhang Wei asked, Guo Wufeng was really confused.

This kid is playing, really think that the court trial is a place for chatting, and discussing animals?

Why don't you discuss what you ate today and where you plan to travel during the holidays?

On the prosecution's seat, they also looked confused.

"Yingying, can you guess what this guy's intention is in asking this question?"

"Sister Lily, you can't even guess it, why do you expect me to?"

Facing Xiao Baihe's inquiry, Tan Yingying lay flat directly.

Xiao Baihe felt helpless, Tan Yingying didn't live up to her expectations, and she couldn't do anything about it.

However, she was still thinking about her intentions when talking about animals.

"Hey, can't you guess this time?"

Zhang Wei once again had a panoramic view of everyone's expressions, and this was his real question.

"Sir, what kind of animals do you like? Do you like the ones I just mentioned?"

"Yes, I just like lions, the king of beasts, the overlord of the grassland!"

Hearing this person's answer, Zhang Wei smiled slightly: "But did you know that male lions generally don't hunt, and it's female lions who look for food for male lions."

"This, I really don't know..."

Seeing the man sitting down with a complex expression, Zhang Wei directly refused to give him a chance.

"Judge Wang, the defense thanks the juror for his answer and asks him to leave!"

Then, the questions continued.

"Ma'am, I noticed that you are wearing a wedding ring, but I still want to ask the question just now, what kind of animal do you like?"

"Of course I like meerkats, because they are very social. I took my children to watch several programs about meerkats."

"Well, thanks for your answer!"

Zhang Wei nodded with a smile, then looked at the judge.

"Judge Wang, the defense accepts this juror."

Then, Zhang Wei went to the rest of the jurors.

"I like tigers, they are strong enough!"

"I like wolves, wolf culture has always been the style of my company!"

"I like whales, they are big, powerful, and beautiful!"

"I like……"

Following Zhang Wei's question, the jurors also responded quickly, because this question did not involve 404 content, there was nothing to hide, and the jurors answered very positively.

Based on the answers, Zhang Wei eliminated some jurors who liked lions, tigers and other animals

Most of the jurors he eliminated liked solitary animals, and he also kept jurors who liked social animals.

"Very well, the jury has been confirmed, let me check the time..."

Judge Wang flipped through the schedule, tapped the cone and announced, "Today is Wednesday, and the trial is tentatively scheduled to start on Friday!"

Preliminary trial is over, adjourn!

With the dissolution of the court, Zhang Wei also returned to the defense bench.

"Master, why did your question just now refer to the animal world?"

"Little apprentice, you haven't reached the level yet for these questions. But, do you really want to know?"

Zhang Wei was perfunctory, but when he saw Lin Yumeng looking at him eagerly, he immediately changed his tone.

"Think, think..."

"That's fine, actually..."

Zhang Wei hooked his fingers and explained to Lin Yumeng and Li Yueqin who also came up together: "Like animals that live in groups, it means that jurors pay more attention to family, and those who like solo travelers are more self-centered. Do you still remember me?" Are you thinking about it?"

After thinking about it, Lin Yumeng replied, "Oh, I remember it's family."

"Yes, that's it."

Zhang Wei spread his hands, this is the purpose of his question.

"Zhang Wei!"

After Zhang Wei finished explaining, Xiao Baihe from the prosecution seat came over.

"Friday's trial, I will not show mercy!"

"That's great. It just so happens that I haven't fought against the local prosecutor's headquarters for a long time. The opponent is the ace prosecutor, Hanhan's good friend. I wish for it!"

"Hmph, you're just getting airy now. Let's see how you cry after we make our statement in court on Friday!"

Xiao Baihe snorted coldly, and took Tan Yingying away from the scene.

"Let's go too!"

Zhang Wei motioned for the little apprentice to bring Zhuo Xiaoting, and also join Bai Ruoyun and Tie Ruyun.

It can be said that the court date is on Friday, which is a very bad arrangement. They will have to discuss the countermeasures in the next step.

...

Jincheng law firm.

Office of the Criminal Division.

Zhang Wei began to arrange tasks.

"Xiao Meng, you and Xiao Li go to get the public evidence together, and paste them on the clipboard tomorrow."

"Okay, master!"

Li Yueqin and Lin Yumeng received the order and rushed to coordinate with Chaco.

Zhang Wei walked to the writing board and began to write.

"This case has no so-called time when the incident occurred, and there is no truth hidden in the performance, so there is no need to investigate the scene."

"Both the stolen goods and money were collected at the scene, and I will not doubt the strength of the investigation department's search, so we can only start to see the tricks based on the existing clues."

As he spoke, he picked up the list of witnesses that had been pasted on the clipboard and looked at it carefully.

"The person in charge of this search operation is Captain Liu of the Serious Case Team 3!"

Seeing the first witness, Zhang Wei frowned, "I remember that he was He Zong's immediate superior, but I remember that He Zong has been transferred out."

"Old Tie, you are also a veteran of our criminal team, how much do you know about Captain Liu?"

"Now you know that I am a senior?"

Seeing Zhang Wei asking himself, Tie Ruyun replied angrily, but he still answered honestly:

"Captain Liu is amazing. He has rich experience, works calmly, and will not lose patience because of some minor problems. You can take advantage of him!"

"For such a veteran operator who has no weaknesses, have you thought of asking any questions?"

Tie Ruyun said, looking at Zhang Wei.

To be honest, he had seen the kid's interrogation and the other party's closing statement, and he had to say that they were all wonderful.

But the scale of that court trial is incomparable with today's. What was that court trial, and how much content can there be in defending an exhibitionist.

And the person you want to question this time is an operator with more than 30 years of experience in criminal investigation. The other party's interrogation skills may be richer than yours.

Zhang Wei thought for a while, "I'm going to ask a gentle question, let's find out about him first?"

"A gentle question?" Tie Ruyun was a little puzzled.

"Although I know that interrogating an operator with a good reputation will leave a bad impression on the jury, if you only ask basic questions, you will not be able to help the client get enough support, let alone acquittal. Verdict!"

"Old Tie, I ask gentle questions just to find out the other party's background. If Captain Liu really has no weaknesses and is unbreakable, then I will naturally not ask too many questions, but if he has weaknesses, then don't blame me! "

"What are you going to do?"

"Court interrogation, what else can I do, if I find weaknesses in the witnesses of the opposing party, then I will naturally..."

When Zhang Wei said this, he paused for a moment, and then changed his tone: "...ask me to death!"

"Come on, don't let yourself get sucked in. Captain Liu has more than 30 years of experience. Could it be that you still can't handle you kid?"

"Old Tie, are you so unconfident in me that you think I can't handle an old operator in court?"

"Yeah, you can't handle it."

Tie Ruyun didn't give face very much, and directly disliked Zhang Wei.

"Hey, you are still my leader. It seems that our friendship with colleagues has come to an end..."

"You boy, when did you treat me as a leader?"

Zhang Wei's words made Tie Ruyun angry and laugh at the same time, this kid would push his nose and face every time, how could he have the majesty of a leader.

"Master, we are back~"

At the door of the office, Lin Yumeng and Li Yueqin came back.

"So fast?"

Zhang Wei was a little surprised, the two of you went back and forth a little too fast.

"No, it was the local prosecutor's office that sent all the public evidence. The prosecutor Tan Yingying at the door even told us to hand over all the evidence to you, master!"

"The document that Tan Yingying came to deliver seems to be Xiao Baihe's intention."

Hearing what the little apprentice said, Zhang Wei seemed to have thought of something.

Tan Yingying definitely did not dare to come to see her, so the other party must have received Xiao Baihe's order when she came to Jincheng.

What does Xiao Baihe think about this case?
