Chapter 181 Blue Gao Check? Pre-trial begins

   That night, Lin House.

  Zhang Wei and Zhao Xiaoxiao are having dinner.

   Zhao Xiaoxiao's appetite is very good, he has finished eating a chicken leg in a short time, and his eyes are fixed on Zhang Wei's bowl.

   "Take it, take it, I have no appetite today!"

   Zhang Wei pushed his bowl over, but Zhao Xiaoxiao was not polite, he reached out and grabbed the other chicken leg and gnawed it.

   "What's the matter, have something on your mind?"

  The so-called eating people's mouth is short, Zhao Xiaoxiao couldn't help but ask.

   "It's not the case that your father gave me. You want me to defend a murderer. When she killed her, she was seen by eyewitnesses!"

   "Oh, that Aunt Fang's case?"

   Zhao Xiaoxiao seems to have heard of this case, or knows Fang Yunshu.

   "You know my client?"

   "I met a few times when I was a child, but I'm not familiar with it!"

   Zhao Xiaoxiao shook his head coldly, and then bit off a large piece of chicken thigh meat in one bite.

"The tricky part of this case is how to prove that Zeng Xiang stalked and spied on Fang Yunshu, so that the latter felt threatened, so he shot angrily for his own safety and killed the source of the threat, that is, the victim of this case, Zeng Yunshu. Auspicious!"

   Zhang Wei said, thinking of the investigation report in the public evidence.

   "According to Wu Coordinator Chaco's feedback, their technicians did not find the intrusion records in Fang Yunshu's home security system, but according to Fang Yunshu's confession, she has found problems with the security system many times!"

"Also, when Fang Yunshu came home that night, Zeng Xiang appeared in her house, and Zeng Xiang should not have the house key, so he must have used some means to crack the security system of Fang Yunshu's house, otherwise how can he enter the house? "

   Combined with the previous report of the Investigation Department, Zeng Xiang should have erased the records after hacking into the system.

   As for the level of the investigation department, Zhang Wei also knew about it.

   At least it is completely incomparable with Zhao Qingyan and Zhao Xiaoxiao father and daughter.

   Zeng Xiang is different. He and Zhao Qingyan were good partners in the early stage of the business, and they are both senior programmers.

   If Zhao Qingyan can be the chief R&D officer of Blacksmith Technology, Zeng Xiang's level will not be bad.

  Zhang Wei turned his attention to Zhao Xiaoxiao. Naturally, the second daughter's hacking skills have nothing to say. If the other party goes out, maybe they can find some clues.

   "Don't look at me, you can't ask the guy next door to help. Although he is not a good person, he is still very skilled!"

   Zhao Xiaoxiao pointed to the next door, the meaning was already obvious.

  Why are you looking for me? The person who asks for your help is next door, and they have money and technology. Wouldn’t it be faster for you to find him?

   "That's right, since Uncle Zhao invited me to come, he should also contribute. I just have something to discuss with him. Is Uncle Zhao awake?"

  Zhang Wei thought about it, skipped dinner, and went straight to Zhao's house next door.

   Tuk Tuk Tuk!

   "Uncle Zhao, it's me, are you awake?"

After    knocked on the door, the door slowly opened within a few seconds.

   "It's Xiao Zhang, come in!"

   Zhao Qingyan's voice was better than before, apparently after a short rest, he recovered some spirits.

   In the courtyard of Zhao's house, Zhao Qingyan was lying on a rocking chair, staring straight at the courtyard.

   Zhang Wei was also welcome, took a bamboo chair and sat down.

   "Xiao Zhang, did you see Xiao Fang?"

"seen!"

   "Can this case be fought?"

"Uncle Zhao, I'm not hiding it from you. It's difficult to defend innocence in this case, but if it is a guilty defense or a direct confession, considering the extremely bad impact of the crime, it is estimated that the local prosecutor's office will not easily let the client go, and the sentence will be guaranteed. It’s 30-40 years, or even indefinitely. All in all, even if you really want to plead guilty, the person involved will never leave Iron Island Prison for the rest of your life!”

   "So, you can only plead not guilty?"

   "Yes, I'm going to use self-defense as a defense to plead not guilty, but I need your help!"

   Seeing Zhang Wei say this, Zhao Qingyan turned his head and looked over.

"Uncle Zhao, I want to prove that Zeng Xiang once threatened Fang Yunshu, or that Zeng Xiang's behavior may threaten the safety of Fang Yunshu's life. Only by proving these can I support my defense. So I need to be able to prove that Zeng Xiang Evidence of intrusion into the security system of the house, as well as witnesses of Neng Zengxiang's previous character and character..."

  Zhao Qingyan rolled his eyes and nodded, "Understood, I can do all of this. I will visit in person tomorrow morning to investigate the security system at Xiaofang's house. As for testifying in court, I have no problem!"

   "Okay, thank you Uncle Zhao for your cooperation. I'm going back to prepare. The pre-trial will begin on Thursday. I have to think about how the jury will be selected!"

   Zhang Wei said, then got up and said goodbye.

   Watching Zhang Wei leave, a trace of doubt and confusion flashed in Zhao Qingyan's eyes.

   "Ah Xiang, you wouldn't really do that kind of thing, would you?"

  …

   Thursday, pre-trial day.

   City Court, gate.

  In the early morning, countless media reporters swarmed.

   As the first major murder case in the beginning of the year, the media people in Dongfang Capital naturally wake up early and stay up late, and they are scrambling to report this first-hand.

   No, I'm looking forward to it, the pre-trial day is here.

  Although it is not the court session, they should have arrived earlier, because today is the day when the two sides of the trial meet for the first time.

   Maybe the two sides meet at the door of the court, and there will be a "fierce" friction and a war of words.

   Even if the prosecution and the defense just said a word, after some processing and embellishment by them, it can become a slogan for declaring war, and it also represents a proper hot material.

   "Hello everyone, I'm a reporter from Dongfangdu TV, and now we've arrived at the gate of the city court!"

   "Today is Thursday, and it is also the day of the pre-trial trial of Fang Yunshu's murder of Zeng Xiang. According to our reporter's knowledge, the candidate for the prosecution in this case turned out to be senior prosecutor Lan Zhengye!"

"Senior prosecutors represent that they have experienced many battles and have rich experience in court trials and investigations. This is the case with prosecutor Lan Zhengye. He was originally the ace of the Midtown District Prosecutor's Office. At that time, he was known for his tough tactics. Excellent, I was transferred to the local prosecutor's headquarters as a senior prosecutor!"

   "According to the latest news from our reporter, Prosecutor Lan Zhengye has arrived at the scene. Now let's follow the camera and see what this Prosecutor Lan has to say to us..."

   Outside the courtroom, a group of reporters had surrounded a mid-range car parked in the parking lot, with the doors open.

   I saw a man in his thirties in a suit walking out.

   His body is well-proportioned and straight, and his temperament is very good. With that confident smiling face, it gives people a sense of completeness.

  Lan Zhengye, who got out of the car, waved to the surroundings.

   This action also attracted the screams of several female reporters nearby.

   "Lan Gao Jian is so handsome!"

   "I don't care, this time Lagoon must win. I advise the opponent to do it for himself and not to be ignorant!"

   "From now on, I will be the face powder of Lan Gao Jian, and I want to do a private interview with Lan Gao Jian!"

   "You can pull you down. After Lan Gao won the case, there are too many people who want to give him an exclusive interview, and it will not be your turn!"

   Lan Zhengye didn't expect that there would be so many reporters in this case.

   However, he does not reject the media, just because he has been a prosecutor for so many years and knows that if the power of the media can be used for himself, then it is a powerful weapon.

   "Lan Gao Jian, do you have anything to say about this case?"

Facing a reporter's question, Lan Zhengye smiled and said to the microphone handed over: "Hello, friends from the media, I am Lan Zhengye, the representative of the prosecution in this case, and it is inconvenient for me to disclose any details about the case. , but what I can tell you is that the District Prosecution Headquarters will not let any murderer go, and will definitely bring the guilty to justice!"

   "Inspector Lan Gao, I heard that your opponent this time is the old enemy of the District Prosecution Headquarters, Zhang Wei, who is known as "the nemesis of the District Prosecution Headquarters", what do you think of the opponent in this trial? "

   "Zhang Wei?"

Lan Zhengye pondered for a moment, then smiled: "It's not convenient for me to express my opinion about this lawyer Zhang, but I can tell you clearly that a trainee lawyer who has just entered the business for a while, don't think that he has won a few cases and then feels I am invincible in the world, to use my favorite phrase, that is, there are people outside people, people outside the sky!"

   This attitude is full of gunpowder!

   "Inspector Lan Gao, what do you think about the suspect in this case?"

   "Prosecutor Lan Gao, according to the grapevine, the victim of this case, Zeng Xiang, seems to have harassed the suspect. What do you think of this point of view?"

   "Blue Go Check..."

   Seeing Lan Gaojian answering two questions, the media will naturally not let him go, and plan to continue to ask questions.

   But Lan Zhengye glanced at the time and waved his hand quickly to let the media reporters make way.

   himself squeezed out of the crowd and walked towards the gate of the courthouse.

   Obviously, he no longer intends to pay attention to the reporters at the door.

   After passing through the reporters' enclosure and entering the courthouse, he met Zhao Jing, the assistant prosecutor who had been waiting here, and then the two entered the preparation room to discuss countermeasures.

   "The prosecution is already in place, don't know where the defense is?"

   At this moment, the reporters discovered a problem. The prosecution from both sides of the trial arrived. Why did the defense disappear for a long time?

   In fact, the defense had already arrived, but he took the safe passage through the back door of the courtroom.

   Inside the courthouse.

  Someone is not ashamed of his behavior, but proud of it.

   "Hey, this case is the public prosecution of the first murder case in the new year. There must be many media reporters at the door. Why should I go to the front door? These reporters are probably going to shoot me!"

   Zhang Wei glanced at the time and went straight to the defense's preparation room.

   After a while, he heard a commotion outside the court gate, and he knew it was the client.

   More than ten minutes later, Fang Yunshu, escorted by two field officers, entered the preparation room.

   "Where's Big Brother Zhao, where are the others?"

"Today is the day of the pre-trial, not the court session. His presence or absence will not affect the pre-trial. And yesterday, I asked him to help and went to your house to collect clues. Didn't you say that your ex-husband hacked your home's security system? Investigate Ke did not find any traces, I think Uncle Zhao may be able to find clues!"

   "So it is!" Fang Yunshu nodded, and understood that Zhao Qingyan did have a mission.

   "Thank you Big Brother Zhao for your help, but that guy's skills are very good. Although I am not a technician, I know that even Big Brother Zhao may not be able to find clues!"

   "Your ex-husband is so fierce?"

"Yes, there is a specialization in the art industry. His studio is good at security systems. Although Big Brother Zhao's skills are not bad, he is an all-round talent. He knows everything, and he is also the best. item compared to…”

   Fang Yunshu didn't finish speaking, but Zhang Wei already understood.

   Zhao Qingyan has developed in all aspects. It can be said that he is a hexagonal warrior, and all items are the highest.

   But Zeng Xiang may be a super-biased fighter, and the other items are of average level, but in the security system, he may be far beyond the normal limit, which is an exception.

   "Hopefully..." Zhang Wei pouted, and after discussing with Fang Yunshu for a while, he was about to enter the courtroom.

   Inside the courtroom.

   There is still a little time before the pre-trial hearing.

   As Zhang Wei and Fang Yunshu entered, the courtroom instantly fell silent.

   "This is the lawyer Zhang, I don't remember seeing him in criminal court for a long time?"

   "Yeah, he seemed to be involved in a civil court before. I heard that he won the insurance company's case, and even reached a settlement between the beverage company and the victim's family. I heard that the means were disgraceful!"

   "Hmph, a lawyer who lost his money is now back in the criminal court. It is estimated that the client paid a lot of lawyer fees, right?"

   "This kind of scumbag lawyer is fighting for money. I advise everyone to boycott him!"

   "I boycotted it for a long time. Since he provoked our media, our leaders have ordered him to be banned!"

   "This time his opponent is Lan Gaojian, I guess this guy is going to suffer a big defeat!"

   "Nonsense, how else can we fight this case? That woman is the murderer. It is estimated that this Zhang Wei will apply for a discretionary commutation and advocate a guilty defense!"

   "Hmph, Lan Gao Jian is a veteran. I believe he shot, it is absolutely impossible to commute the woman's sentence!"

  Zhang Wei listened to the pointing of the media around him, he had already calmed down and could face it calmly.

   But Fang Yunshu, who was on the side, couldn't. She was called a murderer, and her face was very ugly.

  The two entered the courtroom under the **** of the outside party and walked to the defense table.

   "Lawyer Zhang, hello!"

   Just after Zhang Wei was seated, Lan Zhengye walked forward with his assistant Zhao Jingshi and stretched out his hand with a smile.

   "Lan Gaojian, how are you, and Prosecutor Zhao, you look good today!"

   Zhang Wei also got up and shook hands with the other party, and said hello to Zhao Jing beside him.

   "Lawyer Zhang, I've read your case before. Your way of defending innocent people is wonderful, but this time you have to defend a murderer. This is the first time, right?"

   "Really, but why do I feel that it is no different from before?"

   "Oh, listen to what you mean, are you not going to apply for a discretionary commutation, but a defense of innocence?"

   "Inspector Lan Gao, you will know about my court case later, why rush it?"

  Lan Zhengye looked at the person in front of him, his eyes narrowed slightly.

   He finally realized that the kid in front of him has been arguing with himself.

   "Okay, then this time, let's decide the outcome in court!" Lan Zhengye took Zhao Jing and returned to his seat.

   "This Lan Gao Jian, a typical smile hides a knife!"

   Zhang Wei also looked at the other side, his face getting colder.

   "Zhang Wei seems to be really planning to defend his innocence. He doesn't know how to do so, is it tantamount to digging a hole for himself?"

   After Lan Zhengye returned to his seat, he quickly asked Zhao Jing next to him.

   In his understanding, Zhang Wei's behavior was a bit abnormal.

   In this case, a lawyer would probably consider commuting the sentence as appropriate, but you actually consider not guilty, this is not to find guilt for yourself.

   So many people have seen the murder of the suspect, and you still say that the woman is innocent, isn't this talking nonsense with her eyes open?

   "Lawyer Zhang, he...he has always been unpredictable..."

  Although Zhao Jing has only played against Zhang Wei once, she has also been cast into a psychological shadow, and her answers are a little less confident.

   "Hmph, no matter how much the clown jumps around, he won't be able to get on the stage. He chooses to defend a murderer, and the ending is already doomed!"

  Lan Zhengye was quite confident, and scoffed at Zhang Wei's choice.

   The table next door.

   "Mother-in-law hasn't arrived yet, I'm still thinking of saying hello to her before the court session!"

   Zhang Wei's eyes were always on the entrance of the court. He was thinking about what to say when he saw Li Qinghua later.

   Fortunately, his waiting paid off. Just five minutes before the trial, Li Qinghua finally arrived.

  Her station is the clerk position on the judge's side. She is responsible for recording all the information of the court. This is the clerk's duty.

   As soon as Li Qinghua walked into the courtroom, he felt his gaze swept over him for a while.

   "Zhang Wei!"

   Seeing the person in the courtroom, who was standing in the defense seat, smiling and looking at him, Li Qinghua's expression sank.

   "Little Li, who do you see?"

   Just behind Li Qinghua, Judge Chen in a robe also walked into the courtroom.

   "Old Chen, I see that kid, he..."

  Li Qinghua pointed to the defense seat, but did not know how to introduce Zhang Wei.

  Because of Zhang Wei and his daughter, the character has not been written yet.

   Said that the other party was his son-in-law, Li Qinghua was naturally unwilling.

   But apart from this relationship, she and Zhang Wei seem to have nothing to do with each other.

   "Mother-in-law, how are you!"

   But she doesn't shout, but someone doesn't mind.

   Seeing Li Qinghua entering the courtroom, Zhang Wei immediately joined up.

"mother in law?"

Judge Chen on the side was stunned, but then thought that Li Qinghua did have a daughter.

   I just didn't expect that this girl actually already has a famous flower.

   "Judge Chen, hello!"

   After Zhang Wei and Li Qinghua said hello, they also greeted Judge Chen with a smile.

   "Young man, are you a defense attorney?"

   "Yes, my client is Ms. Fang Yunshu!"

   "Oh, that's right, fortunately Xiao Li is only a clerk, otherwise I would have thought of letting her avoid it!"

   Judge Chen made a joke, and then regardless of Zhang Wei, he walked to the court seat on his own.

   "You don't have to be close to me, kid. Don't think that you can influence the judgment by drawing me in. I can't talk to Judge Chen about the case!"

  Li Qinghua took the initiative to keep a distance from Zhang Wei in order to avoid suspicion, and warned with a cold face.

   "Mother-in-law, I just came to say hello to you!" Zhang Wei naturally shouted that he was wronged.

   It's useless for me to win you a clerk. You feel too good, don't you?

   To be honest, if it weren't for the Hanhan relationship, he wouldn't be too lazy to greet Li Qinghua.

   All in all, after Zhang Wei greeted Li Qinghua, he immediately returned to the defense seat.

   And as the judge entered, the entire courtroom was a little solemn.

   Dong Dong Dong!

   Judge Chen took his place and rang the gavel!

   This also indicates that the pre-trial is about to begin.
