Crazy, You Call This a Trainee Lawyer

(The second update today, the first chapter is completely free~)

...

In court, the wind has completely changed.

Everything is moving in the direction expected by the prosecution.

Especially Lan Gaoju's lore at the end almost brought the defense and the defendant to the forefront.

Lan Zhengye's last sentence made people even think about it.

Fang Yunshu had always kept in touch with Zhao Qingyan, and the latter was the witness of Zeng Xiang and Fang Yunshu's marriage, like a big brother.

Zhao Qingyan divorced very early, and if Fang Yunshu broke up with Zeng Xiang, would he fall in love with Zhao Qingyan?

No one knows this except for the two parties involved.

But this does not prevent the jury from guessing. They can make up countless ideas. Anyway, thinking is free, and no one can limit your imagination.

And Lan Gaojian also said, why did Zhao Qingyan help Fang Yunshu instead of upholding justice for his dead brother Zeng Xiang?

If you say that there is no doorway here, then there is a problem.

All in all, Lan Gaojian's final kill further confirmed Fang Yunshu's motive for murdering Zeng Xiang.

At first you said that Zeng Xiang was following and monitoring you, so you killed him.

But now...

It is very likely that Fang Yunshu wanted to be with Zhao Qingyan, so he had to get rid of the obstacles between the two. That is the deceased Zeng Xiang, so he killed the latter.

As for the method of murder, it is also very simple.

He lured Zeng Xiang to his home by phone, and then used Zeng Xiang to threaten him as an excuse to carry out the so-called "justifiable self-defense", and at the same time "missed" Zeng Xiang to death.

As soon as Zeng Xiang died, Fang Yunshu immediately called Zhao Qingyan and asked him to help him.

And Zhao Qingyan lived up to Fang Yunshu's expectations, and found a lawyer from the criminal team of Jincheng Law Firm, and also brought a lawsuit against Zhang Wei, who had a high winning rate at the local prosecutor's headquarters, in order to help Fang Yunshu get rid of the crime.

Once Fang Yunshu is really exonerated, maybe she and Zhao Qingyan can be together!

Everything is connected.

Because the defense could not prove that Zeng Xiang really followed Fang Yunshu, not even a little evidence.

On the contrary, it was Lan Gaojian who provided Fang Yunshu and Zhao Qingyan's call records over the years, as well as the records of the two parties' contact at the time of the incident, which proved Lan Gaojian's guess.

Did Fang Yunshu kill Zeng Xiang for another purpose, premeditated?

In the jury seat, the atmosphere was oppressive.

Most of the 12 jurors seemed to believe this statement, or they did not reject this conjecture.

Among them, there were quite a few people who doubted Fang Yunshu. Although there was no substantive evidence to prove this, it did not prevent them from being suspicious.

At the hearing booth, many reporters were also whispering.

They all believed that Lan Gaojian had found the truth of the matter, and what he said at the end just now was the truth!

Zhao Chunming felt that this was the best trial he had ever attended.

Prosecutor Lan Gao in the court is worthy of being a senior prosecutor in the headquarters. His level and methods are much higher than those of the kids in his office.

"Give me a good look, study hard, and take note of the details of this court trial. These are enough for you to study for a lifetime!"

He couldn't help but whispered something to the newcomers beside him, causing the latter to nod and write vigorously.

Next door location.

"Captain, what should we do now?"

"You ask me, who should I ask?"

For Lin Yumeng and Tie Ruyun, the situation is completely different.

"Will the master refute?"

"There is no way to refute it now, because explaining is tantamount to covering up. The more you explain, the more the jury will believe the prosecution's guess!"

Tie Ruyun sighed. Although he really wanted to tell Lin Yumeng that Zhang Wei had a solution, he knew it was all perfunctory.

The best way for Zhang Wei at this stage is not to say anything, or to come up with hard evidence to refute it.

Unfortunately, he didn't!

The two friends in the criminal team were very worried about Zhang Wei, but Zhang Wei, who was sitting in the defense seat, felt fine.

There was a flash of understanding in his eyes, and then he looked at the prosecution seat.

"It's such a method to slander the ambiguous relationship between Lao Zhao and the client, and then convince the jury that Fang Yunshu's murder was premeditated and motivated!"

He watched Lan Zhengye nodding and smiling at him, that smile was like a winner.

"Your Excellency, because the public prosecutor's speech just now has caused a huge reputational impact on our witnesses and parties, can you give me 5 minutes to confirm whether our witnesses need to continue speaking?"

"Yes, this court has approved it!"

Judge Chen felt that Zhang Wei's request was reasonable, so he approved the brief exchange between the two in court.

Zhang Wei immediately walked up to Zhao Qingyan and asked the latter to listen to him.

"Uncle Zhao, you should be able to see the current situation. Even if you continue to testify about Zeng Xiang's extreme character, the jurors will hear you as smearing the deceased. Similarly, you vouch for Fang Yunshu's character. In the eyes of the jurors, you are defending the murderer, and in their eyes, you will even be considered an accomplice!"

"This Langao inspection method is really good. Just relying on a little guesswork puts me in a dilemma. If I just walk away like this, doesn't it mean that I have a guilty conscience?"

"But Uncle Zhao, if you don't evade for a while, it's useless to stay here to explain?"

"Don't explain, it's not my style!"

Zhao Qingyan looked at Zhang Wei with piercing eyes, "Xiao Zhang, don't need to say much, just let me stay!"

"Oh well!"

Seeing that Zhao Qingyan had made up his mind, Zhang Wei didn't stop him anymore.

"Your Honor, after communicating with the witnesses, we have decided to continue cross-examination!"

"Okay, you can speak now!"

Judge Chen didn't object either, anyway, the direction of the court is the same, so you can do whatever you like.

Zhang Wei took three steps back, came to the center of the court, organized his speech, and looked towards the witness stand.

"Mr. Zhao, do you feel that you have been wronged by the accusation made by the prosecution just now?"

"Wrong, very wrong!"

Zhao Qingyan looked at the jury, but unfortunately not many people cared about his answer at this time.

He also knew this and nodded towards Zhang Wei.

"So, do you want to explain a thing or two for your innocence?"

"No need, too much explanation will make people disgusted!"

Zhao Qingyan shook his head, "For me, the clearer is clearer!"

Zhang Wei moved, Zhao Qingyan didn't want to waste his saliva, but there are some things that need to be explained by him.

"Mr. Zhao, then let's put aside this off-site topic and return our attention to this case. Let's talk about the deceased Zeng Xiang?"

Seeing Zhang Wei changing the subject, Lan Zhengye from the prosecution seat smiled.

If you want to talk about Zeng Xiang, that's great!

Anyway, the hole has been dug for you, the more you talk about it, the more you slander Zeng Xiang, the more disgusted the jury will be with you.

As expected, the jury showed a hint of disgust towards Zhang Wei and Zhao Qingyan.

Everyone is dead, but you still want to shoot at Zeng Xiang, are you human?

But Zhao Qingyan directly ignored these hostility, nodded towards Zhang Wei, and then said leisurely:

"Ah Xiang and I have been friends for more than 20 years. Although we have had conflicts, I have always supported his work."

"He named his studio "Xiangyun", I think you all understand the meaning when you hear this name, right? "

Sure enough, when they heard the name, many people looked at Fang Yunshu.

Zeng Xiang and Fang Yunshu are not the origin of the word "Xiangyun".

"Ah Xiang used to love Xiao Fang very much. When they first got married, their relationship was very good, even to the point of envy, because at that time, my wife and I had already had some feelings of disharmony, so I hoped that I and The tragedy of the wife, don't happen to them."

"It's a pity that as Axiang takes on more and more projects, the tragedy that belongs to our programmers also happened to them."

"I don't deny that there are many disadvantages in our industry, and the biggest disadvantage is the contradiction between work and life. After all, there are only 24 hours in a day, and you have to work overtime for projects and performance. Axiang is in the team The most powerful record in the game is 72 hours of continuous overnight, at that time, he almost relied on his enthusiasm for the project, and his body actually held on."

"After founding Xiangyun, Ah Xiang's ambitions became even bigger. His studio had just started, but he dared to start 6 projects at the same time, and the projects were all developed in parallel. He used to eat and live in the studio for 2 consecutive months. , pulling the subordinates to type codes without sleep!"

"His subordinates couldn't bear the pressure of work, and they didn't have the passion of Ah Xiang, so they left batch after batch, and because Ah Xiang didn't have effective assistants, he did everything by himself. I never left the studio, and only slept 4 hours a day, so I survived with that passion."

"Unfortunately, his hard work and passion were not appreciated by Party A. On the contrary, because 6 projects were paralleled at the same time, the development progress and quality of the projects were uneven, and the completion of the delivery was almost not up to the passing line. 6 Among the projects, only 2 projects barely passed, and the remaining 4 projects were all rejected, and months of hard work were all in vain.”

Speaking of this, Zhao Qingyan looked at the jury seat, "Can you imagine how many harsh words were scolded by Party A of those 4 companies at that time?"

"Can you imagine how Ah Xiang felt when he tried his best, but was ridiculed and ridiculed by four parties?"

Several jurors felt bitter when they heard this.

They also have jobs, have done business, and understand the pain of being rejected or even abused by customers.

The story told by Zhao Qingyan resonated with many people in the courtroom.

But what is your intention in telling this story? This story is about Zeng Xiang. Didn't you tell it to make everyone present feel more sympathetic to Zeng Xiang?

"I know a lot of people are wondering, why am I telling this story?"

Zhao Qingyan has already started to ask and answer by himself, but what he said really hit the point of view of others.

"What I want to tell you is that Ah Xiang used to be a passionate person. But since that day, he has changed, a completely different person!"

which day?

Certainly the day the project was rejected by 4 clients!

To be honest, you might not be able to bear this kind of blow if you were a business person.

Sometimes, a client lets you go, and you want to kill him.

Come together 4 in a row, wouldn't it be a quadruple blow.

If it were them, their mentality would probably change, and Zeng Xiang's change seemed to be a matter of course.

If Zeng Xiang could resist the pressure, then he would probably be the rumored saint.

"Zeng Xiang's personality has changed, he has become extreme, impulsive, irritable, and even flaws must be reported!"

After Zhao Qingyan said this, after a moment of silence, he still looked at everyone, "Although I know it's not good to speak ill of others behind their backs, but..."

"stop!"

Just when Zhao Qingyan was about to speak, Zhang Wei interrupted suddenly, and he was holding a stack of documents in his hand.

"The next thing the witness wants to say, let me tell it!"

Zhao Qingyan has a good impression on the jury now, Zhang Wei doesn't want his image to change, so he has to be the villain.

Zhang Wei opened up the information and said: "The four companies that Zeng Xiang's plan was rejected at the beginning, in the following years, scandals broke out in the company's senior management one after another. Resign due to personal style issues!"

"Because of frequent changes in the top management, these companies have closed down successively due to poor management. Just after they closed down, many new technology companies quickly seized the market, among which Xiangyun, founded by Zeng Xiang, grabbed the largest share !"

"No, hearsay evidence. These are just news from several years ago. There is no evidence to prove that the collapse of those companies is related to the deceased Zeng Xiang!"

Lan Zhengye saw that Zhang Wei was starting to seduce the jurors, so he immediately stood up and interrupted.

"Yes, we have no evidence, but six companies have closed down one after another, and before they closed down, they all signed outsourcing employment agreements with Xiangyun. Don't you think this is too coincidental?"

"Your Honor, the defense lawyers are trying to induce the jury, trying to convince the jury of some rumors!"

Lan Zhengye didn't talk to Zhang Wei, but directly asked the judge to decide.

He knew that Zhang Wei's purpose in doing this was to let the jury know that Zeng Xiang had taken revenge on six companies that offended him, causing the other company to close down and ruining the reputation of the other's senior management.

Since he can take revenge on these people, Zeng Xiang has no reason not to take revenge on his divorced ex-wife?

How could Lan Zhengye make Zhang Wei fulfill his wish?

"The defense lawyers and witnesses, the stories you told are the same as what Lan Gao prosecutors told before. They are all speculations without substantive evidence. This court will not allow you to slander the deceased Zeng Xiang with such speculations. reputation!"

Judge Chen finished speaking, looked at the jury, and warned: "The jury, please ignore the last statement of the defense. The deceased had retaliated against six companies before his death. These are all groundless guesses, which cannot be confirmed, and cannot be used as a basis for judgment in this case." !"

Now that the judge has said so, Zhang Wei has nothing to do.

But he knows that imagination cannot be banned by the court.

Although what they say is just speculation, there is no guarantee that the jury will not have this idea.

He looked at the jury and found that several of them were indeed looking thoughtful.

Just like they speculated about the relationship between Zhao Qingyan and Fang Yunshu, this time it was their turn to speculate about Zeng Xiang's personality.

"Defense, do you still need to continue asking questions?"

Zhang Wei heard the judge's question and looked at Zhao Qingyan, who just shook his head.

Anyway, for Zeng Xiang, everything that needs to be said has been said.

As for Fang Yunshu, she can then testify in court.

"Your Honor, our cross-examination of this witness is over!"

After Zhang Wei finished speaking, he walked back to his place.

"Your Honor, the prosecution wants to ask more questions!"

But at this moment, Lan Zhengye felt that he could not give the defense a chance, so he got up immediately.

Zhao Qingyan was about to leave the table, but after hearing what Lan Zhengye said, he had no choice but to sit down.

"Mr. Zhao, the story you told just now is very good, but besides you and the defendant, does anyone else know so many experiences of the deceased Zeng Xiang?"

"No!"

"Besides you, who else suspects that Zeng Xiang took revenge on those six companies, including their company's executives, or other people? Have you ever suspected?"

"nor!"

"So, all of this is told by you alone, and no one else can corroborate this story?"

"Yes!"

"Oh, so what you said is probably a fictional story?"

Lan Zhengye sneered, and looked at the jury with deep meaning.

There is no basis for this at all, and it is all based on what Zhao Qingyan told, isn't it just a story!

"Finally, I want to ask Zhao Qingyan one last question. Whether it is the investigation department or yourself, have you found any substantial evidence of Zeng Xiang's crime, for example, he followed Fang Yunshu, or monitored the senior management of the six companies?" Evidence, any evidence is fine, do you have any?"

When Zhao Qingyan heard this question, his expression was a little helpless.

"nothing!"

"Okay, my additional question is over!"

Seeing that Zhao Qingyan did not lie, Lan Zhengye returned to the prosecution seat satisfied.

As long as you don't have proof, then everything is speculation, and I ask again to emphasize this point.

Lan Zhengye was about to end his testimony next, and throughout the weekend, the last thing the jury remembered was his last emphasis.

The prosecution has no evidence, Zeng Xiang is innocent, innocent, and a victim of the slander!

"Prosecution, do you have any witnesses to call?"

"Your Honor, the prosecution has no more witnesses to call, and the opening statement is over!"

Of course, Lan Zhengye would not continue to provide evidence. Isn't this an opportunity for Zhang Wei?

The last questioning just now has already fulfilled its purpose, so why continue to give the other party a chance.

"good!"

Judge Chen nodded, looked at the time, and announced: "Two rounds of court hearings have been held today in the morning and afternoon. This court believes that if it continues, it will be a test for all participants in the court. Fatigue will also affect the hearing." Everyone's judgment, so I decided to temporarily adjourn the court!"

"This court announced that the court will be held again at 9:00 a.m. next Monday. I wish you all a happy weekend!"

Courts began to dissolve.

However, the prosecution is happy, while the defense is gloomy.

Looking at Lan Zhengye, who looked like a winner, Zhang Wei narrowed his eyes slightly.

"After all, there is a lack of substantive evidence. There is no way to prove that Zeng Xiang is evil, so Fang Yunshu, who committed the murder, is evil!"

This is the first time Zhang Wei has felt the situation where he can't do anything!

Even if he tried his best to save the field, he still couldn't change the direction of the court.

Murder is murder after all, and this is a crime that no one can wash away.
