Crazy, You Call This a Trainee Lawyer

What if the current situation is in favor of the plaintiff?

Then Xiao Baihe will tell you, please be optimistic, you think too little.

The current situation is more than favorable?

The plaintiff is almost invincible right now!

Invincible!

She couldn't find any place to refute!

Difficult!

Seeing Bai Meiqi casually summoning a witness, relying on a few words to control the wind direction of the entire court, Xiao Baihe felt powerless.

"Lawyer, what's the situation now?"

At this moment, the client, Mr. Bao, questioned Xiao Baihe in a low voice.

You are a defense lawyer, think of a way, please save me!

Xiao Baihe was speechless, you think I can save you if I want to?

Don't you look at what's going on now?

The first witness Bai Meiqi summoned was the owner of the gallery. Ms. Mi said that before your wife died, she promised to donate all the paintings to the gallery.

And she also mentioned the weapon of "public welfare".

If the painting is auctioned off, at least half of the money will be used for public welfare.

What kind of people is the jury? They are willing to look at 20 million paintings, of which 10 million will be used for public welfare, and they will not just watch the money go to you, a person who "gets something for nothing".

And to convince the jury, you have to prove that you are a progressive, excellent or pitiful, innocent person, in short, you are worthy of the 20 million, which is really too tm difficult.

Mr. Bao, ask yourself, are you such a person?

A person who will be late for the court hearing in the morning!

Does a person who has no patience, no respect for others, and no personal qualities deserve the sympathy of the jury?

Xiao Baihe was already very polite.

She was about to slap the client in the face right now, and asked on the spot: Do you have the keys, and how many?

In court, Bai Meiqi also noticed the dilemma of the defendant.

"Hmph, Xiao Baihe, the former ace prosecutor, unfortunately, now you have left your comfort zone and entered the cruel defense lawyer industry, and you have nothing to do!"

Seeing the "contradictory" communication between Xiao Baihe and Mr. Bao, she sneered even more in her heart.

The trump card of yore, but so much.

In court, the only person in the world who can make Bai Meiqi value her is the person she used to be!

pity……

She never had a chance to fight the opponent again.

In Bai Meiqi's heart, there was only a moment of sadness, and then it was replaced by the seriousness of professional ethics.

Now, she has only one thing to focus on, and that is to win this lawsuit!

"Ms. Mi, you said that the painter Ms. Wang once promised the gallery to donate all her words to your gallery, right?"

"Yes."

"So, is there any evidence for this matter? I'm afraid I will question you about this matter when the defense and defense intersect the order!"

As Bai Meiqi said, she even glanced at Xiao Baihe provocatively.

You think I can't think of it, I have expected that you will definitely struggle with this problem, but I won't give you a chance!

"Regarding this issue, it is actually a tacit understanding between us."

"Oh, so you don't have any agreement on the title of the book?"

"Yes, we only have a verbal agreement, but every new work of Ms. Wang will be placed in my gallery, and every time a painting is sold, Ms. Wang will meet the buyer with me, and we will communicate with each other. "

When the witness answered, his face showed the color of memory: "I still remember that Ms. Wang and I, as well as the customers who bought the paintings, had a good conversation every time."

"Because Ms. Wang is a pure person, she only has art in her eyes, and she doesn't want to be bound by rules and regulations. I think this is the reason why artists can create such beautiful paintings. I have seen many painters, and most of them are wild and uninhibited. , if they are bound by so-called contracts or contracts, they will not be able to create such excellent paintings as "I."

"So, I think that even if Ms. Wang's health is getting weaker day by day, even if something happens to her in the future, she can't continue to create, and even if her ex-husband wants to fight for the so-called inheritance, I don't ask Ms. Wang to sign any written agreement with our gallery. The relationship between us is more like a friend, more like a so-called bosom friend."

Hearing the answer from witness Mi Nushu, Bai Meiqi couldn't help but nodded.

Her eyes flicked to the jury, and so did the jury.

She knew that if Xiao Baihe repeatedly emphasized on this issue that there was no written contract, the so-called friends were just a game of interests, etc., then the jury would definitely be disgusted.

What the jury hates the most is that the so-called friendship is related to money, and if you take the initiative and repeatedly emphasize, then you, the person who raised the question, must be the first to encounter hostility.

Take care!

Bai Meiqi originally wanted to end the questioning immediately, but after taking a look at Xiao Baihe and her client, she decided to be more on the safe side.

"Ms. Mi, although it's not good to talk about others behind their backs, as a friend of the late Ms. Wang, do you understand the relationship between Ms. Wang and her ex-husband?"

"this……"

The witness glanced at Mr. Bao, then nodded: "Of course I understand. Although Ms. Wang doesn't like to chat with others about family affairs, because her family knows about her family affairs, she and her ex-husband don't care very well, but..."

"but what?"

"But there is a good saying that good things don't go out, and bad things spread far and wide. The relationship between Ms. Wang and her ex-husband is actually known to everyone in the neighborhood and the neighborhood."

"Then, among these neighbors, what kind of person is Mr. Bao?"

"To put it simply, he's just a trash who eats and waits to die, doesn't work at home, and relies on Ms. Wang for his life!"

"be opposed to!"

Following the witness's answer, Xiao Baihe immediately stood up to express his objection.

"I'm not wrong. Mr. Bao stopped working a long time ago, and he even said something like this to Ms. Wang: Anyway, I go out to work every day, and it only costs a few thousand yuan a month. You can sell a painting for hundreds of thousands. Million, you are my wife, if you don’t support me, who will support me?”

"No, hearsay evidence!"

Xiao Baihe interrupted again, but the witness had already said all these words.

For a moment, the entire court looked at Mr. Bao very unfriendly.

How decent is it for a big man to not go out to work and rely on his wife to support him every day!

waste!

Isn't this a complete waste?

The contempt, displeasure, and garbage-like eyes made Mr. Bao restless.

"I... I'm not trash!"

He yelled loudly in court, blushing.

It's a pity that this sentence has no effect at all. Everyone thinks that this man is hopeless.

"Judge Ni, we are done asking questions!"

Seeing this, Bai Meiqi hurriedly spoke up, blocking what Ni Qiuping might say next.

"Although you ended quickly, this court still has to explain that the objection is valid, and rumors cannot be counted as evidence!"

As Ni Qiuping said, she glanced at Bai Meiqi with a slightly unfriendly look.

But then, she looked at Xiao Baihe with speechless eyes.

You can't do it!

At your level, what about the trump card?

You are doomed!

Even the judge thinks that Xiao Baihe is hopeless, which is naturally true.

"Defense attorney, please go to court!"

At the prompt of Ni Qiuping, Xiao Baihe went to court.

And Bai Meiqi, who was sitting on the plaintiff's seat, watched this scene with great interest, she wanted to see if Xiao Baihe would step on the thunder.

"Witness, you...you didn't have any written agreement with Ms. Wang, so you took her painting to auction?"

"Yes."

Ms. Mi nodded and answered directly.

"really!"

Upon hearing this question, Bai Meiqi sneered directly.

You stepped on thunder, Xiao Baihe!

Among the jury, many people showed a clear expression.

The plaintiff's lawyer guessed right, and the defendant really struggled with the contract and paper records.

Xiao Baihe is also in distress at the moment, because what else can she do besides this question, she is not Zhang Wei, she will ask some questions that make people scream in secret.

etc……

Xiao Baihe suddenly stopped complaining, but had a flash of inspiration in his mind.

If it was Zhang Wei, what questions would he ask? Zhang Wei's best operation, as I remember, is...

Suddenly, a strange look flashed in Xiao Baihe's eyes.

"Um?"

Bai Meiqi in the plaintiff's seat and Ni Qiuping in the trial seat all sensed something strange.

Xiao Baihe seemed to have suddenly realized something just now.

"Witness, you are the owner of the gallery, right?"

"Yes."

"As a gallery or an art intermediary, the objects you serve are divided into two parties, right? The creators who entrust the auctioned works, and the customers who buy the turned works, right?"

"Yes."

"To run such a large gallery in the East, the daily expenses should not be low, right?"

"this……"

The witness froze for a moment, not understanding the meaning of this question.

"I object, it has nothing to do with the case!"

Bai Meiqi got up immediately and interrupted Xiao Baihe.

"Judge Ni, we will prove that this question has a very important relationship with this case. Please allow me to continue asking questions!"

But Xiao Baihe showed determination, and also looked at Ni Qiuping with piercing eyes.

"Good guy, this confident look reminds me of someone!"

Seeing this scene, Ni Qiuping showed a trace of nostalgia, and couldn't help but nodded.

"This court will give you a chance, but please pay attention to the time!"

Ni Qiuping said, looking at Bai Meiqi, "The objection is invalid, the defense can continue to ask questions!"

Bai Meiqi sat down helplessly, and then looked at the court, she also felt a little weird.

And Xiao Baihe, after getting permission, immediately asked again: "Ms. Mi, as the owner of the gallery, you can't really just do charity work, so how do you manage such a large gallery?"

"Well, I admit that I will charge a certain handling fee, but..."

"I'm glad you mentioned the handling fee. This handling fee should be a service fee charged according to the total amount of the auction, right?"

"Yes, it is……"

This time, Ms. Mi took a special look at the jury after answering the questions.

Among the jury, some people looked at her with different eyes.

"Then witness, I would like to ask, in your gallery, apart from Ms. Wang's paintings, what is the auction price of the most valuable painting?"

"this……"

"Ms. Mi, your gallery has transaction records. If you don't answer, can I answer?"

"About 300,000."

Seeing that Xiao Baihe was about to speak, the witness hurriedly replied.

Xiao Baihe's face remained unchanged, but he was relieved.

Because she didn't read the transaction records at all, and she didn't know if the number was right.

"Your handling fee is usually 10%. If it is some writers who sell paintings urgently or need money urgently, you may charge 20%, right?"

"um, yes……"

"Then let me calculate it at 10%. 300,000 is the service fee of 30,000. Is this really the second most expensive painting in your gallery?"

"This... Except for Ms. Wang, the paintings of the painters collected in my gallery are all non-master level..."

This sentence "not at the level of a master" is actually a high EQ.

Low EQ: That's a bunch of amateurs!

"Then can I think that your gallery relies on serving Ms. Wang to maintain its daily operations and make a slight surplus?"

"this……"

"For Ms. Wang's paintings, the minimum value of a painting is 500,000, and you charge 50,000 service fees. And Ms. Wang's paintings in recent years are very marketable, and a painting can even sell for 5 million, so your service fee can be That's 500,000!"

Hearing the figure of "500,000", the jury was slightly touched, and at the same time, the eyes of the witnesses also changed.

"The painting "I" is worth 20 million yuan. This is a guaranteed estimate before the auction. I will calculate based on this figure and 10%, then the service fee can reach at least 2 million yuan, right?"

This time, the witness did not speak.

"Witness, can I think that the fundamental purpose of you to compete with my client for this painting is actually for money!"

As soon as this remark came out, the audience was in an uproar.

yes!

At the beginning just now, everyone only saw that Mr. Bao was fighting for the painting, for the painting worth 20 million yuan.

But they overlooked one point, that is, the owner of the gallery, Ms. Mi, what is her purpose?

There were two parties competing for the painting. Ms. Mi sued Mr. Bao because the latter had repeatedly made trouble in the gallery, trying to take away the painting "I" displayed in the gallery!

Because of this, many people feel that Mr. Bao has always wanted the 20 million paintings.

And it was true, he really wanted it, and he didn't even hide it.

But they ignored the other party, which is the gallery where the paintings are preserved, Ms. Mi, the owner of the gallery.

Does she also want to paint?

Selling a painting, she can charge at least 2 million handling fees.

This amount of money is also not a small amount, and this ratio can be increased. The total price of the auction is only a guaranteed reserve price. What if the buyer can afford the money and the price is increased or even doubled?

What if there are several buyers bidding, wouldn't it be super doubled?

After all, when is a painter's painting most valuable?

Of course, after the artist's death, it became a masterpiece!

Therefore, Xiao Baihe's question caused a sudden change in the direction of the court.

And whether it was Bai Meiqi or Ni Qiuping, they both seemed to see someone.

At this moment, Xiao Baihe seemed to be possessed by that person, asking questions was like a divine help!

"Witness, in my opinion, you and my client, Mr. Bao, are actually the same. You also want that painting?"

"I……"

"You don't need to explain. Your purpose has been exposed since you took that painting, or even cheated that painting from Ms. Wang!"

"be opposed to!"

Bai Meiqi immediately stood up, pointing at Xiao Baihe to protest.

"I retract the last sentence and end the question!"

Xiao Baihe naturally achieved her goal, imitating Bai Meiqi's routine just now, and ended the question directly.

Done!

After returning to her seat, Xiao Baihe secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

What is Zhang Wei's routine?

Give back to him in the same way!

Since Bai Meiqi thought about linking the case with money, she wanted to portray the defendant, Mr. Bao, as an unscrupulous person who would not hesitate to stalk for money and to get a painting.

Then I will use your routine to portray Ms. Mi, the owner of the gallery, as an unscrupulous person who is also unscrupulous and even deceives the painter Ms. Wang for the millions of handling fees.

come on!

Everyone hurt each other!

Let's see who is afraid of whom, isn't it?

My client did not hesitate to fight against the gallery for 20 million yuan.

Didn’t your gallery directly sue my client for the handling fee, and you are not much better, are you?

This time, the jury was really affected.

Although they looked at Mr. Bao with unfriendly eyes.

But at the same time, the way they looked at the witness, Ms. Mi, was also not quite right.

They all know one thing.

It turns out that you two gangs are messing around, it's all about money!

"Witness, you can leave now."

Seeing that the two sides were at an impasse, Ni Qiuping opened her mouth to preside over the order of the court.

Ms. Mi left the witness, returned to the plaintiff's seat, and communicated with Bai Meiqi in a low voice.

Naturally, they could see the change in the direction of the court and immediately began to think about strategies.

"Lawyer Bai, do you have any witnesses to call?"

"Judge Ni, we have confirmed with our client that there are currently no witnesses to call, so we will give the opportunity to speak to the defense!"

Hearing what Bai Meiqi said, Ni Qiuping was slightly surprised.

As Jin Cheng's lawyer, Bai Meiqi only summoned one witness and gave up the opportunity to speak?

Jincheng Law Firm is notoriously rich and powerful, so it must have prepared a lot of witnesses.

Is this an intention to counter the defense?

Ni Qiuping didn't know, but she didn't want to think about it, so she looked at Xiao Baihe.

It's your turn.

"We summoned Mr. Bao's sister, and Ms. Bao testified in court!"

Under Xiao Baihe's announcement, a woman slowly stood up in the first row of the hearing stand and walked towards the witness stand.

"Why don't you let me go up and talk first, but summon my sister?"

Seeing this, Mr. Bao, the client, was immediately dissatisfied.

"Mr. Bao, you don't need to appear in court yet."

Xiao Baihe is coping with it on the surface, but in fact she has already started to complain in her heart.

You fucking want to go to court, what level are you, don't you have any clues in your heart?

If you go up and sit on the witness stand, aren't you a living target for the plaintiff?

It's because he dislikes that the opponent won't win fast enough, so he wants to go up and give the opponent a head, right?

I was so full that I summoned you, an idiot, up here?

Do you think I'm as stupid as you?

Of course, Xiao Baihe scolded these words in her heart, but on the surface she naturally remained calm.

"Hello, Witness."

"Hello, lawyer."

After the two parties greeted each other, Xiao Baihe asked questions directly.

"Witness, I would like to ask, does Ms. Wang love Mr. Bao?"
