Chapter 186 Zeng Xiang's neighbor went to court, Zhang Wei came to break the defense

(The third round of nucleic acid testing in the community today, the author is going to be busy, standing guard + on duty, it is estimated that he will be busy very late, plus I ran outside for a day yesterday, I really don’t have time to code words, tentatively scheduled for an update today, Mr. Reader Don't send razors, slip away...)

  …

   City court, meeting room.

   Zhang Wei and others are having lunch, but the court's lunch is almost always takeaway.

There were five people in the conference room, Zhang Wei, Tie Ruyun, Lin Yumeng, Zhao Qingyan, and the defendant Fang Yunshu.

   During the meal, the conference room was dull and no one spoke.

   Zhao Qingyan really had no appetite here. After taking a few mouthfuls of food, he hesitated.

   "Uncle Zhao, I know what you are going to ask, and you have seen the situation of the court trial, so I can only say that it is slightly unfavorable to us!"

   "Although I used some tricks at the last minute to make some female jurors sympathize with the other lady, but unfortunately this move was almost a drop in the bucket..."

   Zhang Wei quickly put down the hamburger in his hand and explained.

   "Yes, I saw that too!"

Zhao Qingyan sighed, but still said with relief: "If it were an ordinary lawyer, he would have surrendered long ago under the onslaught of that Lan Gao Jian; that is, you kid, you can still hold on, and use it twice. The other side's witnesses saved the day!"

   "To be honest, if it wasn't for the court to keep quiet, I couldn't help cheering you on, and your performance really impressed me!"

   Zhang Wei smiled lightly at Zhao Qingyan's exaggeration, but he was not complacent.

   After all, the case has just begun, and the opponent's attack will not stop!

   "Yes, yes, Uncle Zhao, you know how good my master is!"

   "Got it, the second girl of the Lin family!"

   Lin Yumeng exaggerated Zhang Wei, which made Zhao Qingyan smile slightly.

"Um?"

   But their conversation made Zhang Wei slightly stunned.

  Lin Yumeng and Zhao Qingyan knew each other?

   But when he thought of Zhao Qingyan and the senior VIP clients of Jincheng Law Firm, he was relieved.

  The big boss Lin Xiangtian and Zhao Qingyan obviously have friendship.

   Then, as the daughter of the big boss, Lin Yumeng must have met Zhao Qingyan. It doesn't seem like a big problem for Lin Xiangtian to ask his daughter to call him uncle, right?

   After thinking about this, Zhang Wei didn't bother about this matter, but was thinking about what to do in the afternoon court trial.

   "There are still many people on the witness list for the prosecution. Although I don't know how many people he will call, it will be a tough battle for us!"

   Zhang Wei reminded Fang Yunshu and Zhao Qingyan to get ready.

  The afternoon trial was not easy.

   After all, today is Friday, and that high-ranking jury must have wanted to convince the jury that Fang Yunshu was guilty during the weekend!

   Zhao Qingyan and Fang Yunshu looked at each other and nodded to each other with a slightly solemn expression.

  Tie Ruyun also felt the depression of the atmosphere, only Lin Yumeng was still eating with his head down, heartless...

  …

   1:30 PM.

   The court adjournment ends at noon, and the court session is up.

   "Stand up!"

   With the announcement of Tingwei, everyone returned to their respective positions again.

   Zhang Wei smiled and nodded towards the clerk's seat in the corner of the courtroom.

  Unfortunately, in exchange, Li Qinghua's eyes were rolled, and there was a trace of unhappiness in his eyes.

   The attitude of the future mother-in-law gave Zhang Wei a secret headache.

  This trial is not only for the parties and Zhao Qingyan, but he also has to show it in front of his future mother-in-law.

   "The morning cross-examination of the prosecution witnesses is over, so now it's the prosecution's turn to continue with the opening statement!"

   After explaining the trial situation, Judge Chen looked at Lan Zhengye, "Prosecution, do you still have any witnesses that need to be called?"

   "Of course, Your Honor!"

  Lan Zhengye adjusted his collar and got up to respond.

   "The prosecution summoned Ms. Peng Liying to testify in court!"

   As Lan Zhengye announced, a short-haired young woman with a good figure twisted her waist and walked to the court.

   She nodded to Lan Zhengye as she passed by the seats of both the prosecution and the defense, and then cast a contemptuous glance at the defense seat.

   Zhang Wei captured that the woman looked at Fang Yunshu with a slightly unkind look.

"who is this?"

Fang Yunshu on the side of    really noticed it and asked Zhang Wei in a low voice.

   "She's your ex-husband's neighbor!"

  Zhang Wei has done his homework, so he knows the identity of this woman.

   Clearly, this woman was a character witness brought in by the prosecution.

  Because Zeng Xiang and Fang Yunshu have no relatives in Dongfang City, if they want to call character witnesses, they can only choose from colleagues or neighbors. It is also obvious for the prosecution to call Zeng Xiang's neighbors.

   "Hello, Ms. Peng, can you tell everyone about your relationship with the deceased Zeng Xiang?"

   "I'm A Xiang's neighbor, and recently, he and I are dating!"

   As soon as these words came out, many people showed unexpected expressions.

   Especially in the defense seat, Zhang Wei looked incredible.

   "Dating?"

   He looked at the woman on the witness stand, and then at Fang Yunshu, who was also surprised.

   "Impossible, if your ex-husband is really stalking you and he's a voyeur, it's impossible to have time to date another woman, right?"

   "I, I don't know either..."

   Seeing Fang Yunshu shaking his head, Zhang Wei fell into contemplation.

   Generally speaking, people like stalkers, after identifying a target, will not divert their attention to other things.

   In this case, since Zeng Xiang identified his ex-wife Fang Yunshu as the target, he would definitely not accept women other than her.

  Zhang Wei admitted that the young woman in the court had a good figure and belonged to the plump type. She was more attractive than the thin Fang Yunshu, and the age of the other party was also an advantage, but that was all.

  Can Zeng Xiang be able to track and monitor his ex-wife all the time while dating another woman?

   "That's weird, Jessica and I also talked about it. People like stalkers are paranoid about their goals. Once they've identified their goals, they won't easily divert their attention..."

   Now, Zhang Wei is also in trouble. He doesn't know how to understand the woman's statement.

   Either the witness is lying, or Fang Yunshu is lying...

   Just as Zhang Wei was thinking, questions in court began.

   "Excuse me, Ms. Peng, you..."

   "You can call me Miss Peng. A Xiang also called me that at the beginning, because I am a few years younger than him, and it hurts him to treat me like a sister!"

  Lan Zhengye was about to speak when the witness took the first step and glanced at the defense table provocatively.

   "Oh, okay, Miss Peng, since you said it all, let me ask you, since you and Zeng Xiang are dating, who sent the invitation first?"

  Miss Peng did not hesitate, and immediately replied: "A Xiang first approached me. We met at a bar that day, and it was our first conversation."

"I just broke up with my boyfriend at that time, and I went to the bar alone to relieve my boredom at night. He happened to be sitting next to me... By the way, he took the initiative to communicate with me. That's when I found out that he was also with his wife. We got divorced, and we both happened to be single again, so we sat and chatted for a while..."

   As the witnesses recounted, some things about Zeng Xiang’s life were also revealed.

   According to Miss Peng's description, Zeng Xiang is a humorous, gentle and considerate man.

   To sum up in one sentence, which woman dumped him is simply a great regret in life.

  Although there is a lot of bragging here, the witnesses said a lot of small things in life, giving people a feeling that these things have actually happened.

   "Thanks to the witnesses for their clarifications!"

  Lan Zhengye finally ended his questioning, but he did not intend to hand over the witness to Zhang Wei just like that.

"According to Miss Peng's testimony, we can clearly understand that the deceased Zeng Xiang was a humorous, talkative and funny man. He ran a network studio and provided network security services for some small and medium-sized enterprises. Zeng Xiang had a good I have my own house in the East, and I can say that I have no worries about food and clothing. How could such a person follow and follow his ex-wife?"

   "Ms. Peng also said that Zeng Xiang was dating her, and the defense always wanted to portray the deceased Zeng Xiang as a stalker and a person who deserved what he deserved. This is slander in my opinion!"

Lan Zhengye pointed to the defense table and said word by word: "Please understand one thing, in our punishment, there is also a certain introduction to crimes such as stalker, one of which clearly states that stalker His behavior patterns are strongly targeted, and once he has identified his target, it will be difficult for him to be distracted by foreign affairs!"

   "If Zeng Xiang is following the defendant Fang Yunshu, as the defense said, then in the eyes of the former, there is no room for other women except the defendant, let alone dating Miss Peng?"

   "Let's understand this in a simple way. Since there is a woman who wants to be with you and has a crush on you, why should you follow another who doesn't want to be with you?"

   Having said this, Lan Zhengye looked at the defense table provocatively, "So, all the testimony of the defendant is actually a lie, and they are all shirking for their own murder!"

   As soon as these words came out, Lan Zhengye had a fierce aura, pressing down on the defense table.

  Fang Yunshu lowered his head originally, but his body trembled slightly after sensing the momentum.

   Then, in all directions, countless sharp eyes glanced over.

   Obviously, many people in the court were persuaded by Lan Zhengye's statement and doubted Fang Yunshu's testimony.

   "Your Honor, is the prosecutor making a closing statement?"

   Zhang Wei got up quickly and spread his hands to the judge.

   "Cough, prosecutor, do I need to remind you that some things cannot be concluded before the case is over!"

   Judge Chen looked at Lan Zhengye with a vaguely unkind expression on his face.

   Zhang Wei is a little skinny, but at least he doesn't do too much.

   But you are good, as a high-ranking prosecutor, you keep repeating it again and again, do you think I can endure you many times?

   "Sorry, Your Honor, I retract the last sentence and end the question!"

  Lan Zhengye returned to his seat confidently again, causing Zhao Jing who was sitting next to him to be amazed.

   As expected of a high-ranking inspector, he has easily done what they couldn't do in the first place!

   He suppressed Zhang Wei!

  In the hearing box, some people were happy and others were sad.

   "This kid is dead today!"

   Zhao Chunming sneered, this time he finally felt that the victory was in his hands.

   Tie Ruyun and Lin Yumeng next door had sad and bleak faces.

   Their expressions even affected Zhao Qingyan, who was next door. The latter's face changed from "clear to cloudy" at the beginning, to "cloudy" now, and gradually changed to "overcast with light rain".

  The jury was also affected by Lan Zhengye's statement, and they all believed that it was impossible for Zeng Xiang to follow Fang Yunshu.

The testimony of the witnesses    testified to this.

  If the witness did not lie, then only the accused lies!

  The wind in the courtroom changed again, and Zhang Wei and Fang Yunshu also noticed the problem of the jury bench.

   "Lawyer Zhang, do they all think I'm lying?"

   "Don't talk about them, I'm about to be persuaded by the prosecution!"

  Zhang Wei complained inwardly, but his expression remained the same, "Don't worry, even if this woman didn't lie, I have a way to invalidate her testimony, just take a look!"

After    comforted him, he walked to the witness stand with the audience watching.

   "What method will this guy use to defuse my offensive, I just happened to take a look?"

  Lan Zhengye was also sitting in the same position, waiting to see.

   "Hello, witness!"

   Looking at the woman in front of him, Zhang Wei greeted politely.

  The woman didn't appreciate it, she held her head high and said, "You can call me Miss Peng!"

   "Oh, Peng... Big sister, hello!"

   Zhang Wei took advantage of the situation and shouted, which caused the woman's complexion to change dramatically.

"you you you you…"

   She pointed at Zhang Wei, speechless in anger.

   "What's the matter, Miss Peng, is my name correct?"

   Zhang Wei pointed in the direction of Lan Zhengye, "The lawyer for the prosecution, that is, the prosecutor in this case, is about the same age as you. It's right to call you Miss Peng."

   "But look at how old I am. I only left law school last year, and I haven't graduated for a year. I'm still a trainee lawyer. You asked me to call you miss, didn't you take advantage of me?"

   "You, you call me old..."

   This time, the woman was finally unable to hold back, and her chest heaved violently with anger.

   "Sister Peng, don't get excited. This is the courtroom scene. Please control your temper. If you act too aggressively, the judges will sentence you to contempt of court!"

   Zhang Wei warned, but the word "eldest sister" at the beginning added fuel to the fire again.

  The woman gritted her teeth, clenched her five fingers, loosened them, and clenched them again, but she couldn't attack, she was so angry.

   "Cough, big sister, I won't tease you anymore, let's start cross-examination!"

   Zhang Wei adjusted his position and asked with a smile, "Witness, how long have you been with the deceased?"

   "We've been dating for almost half a year!"

   "Oh, half a year!"

  Zhang Wei nodded and pondered: "You said that Zeng Xiang is a humorous man, so you must have been to many places to play?"

   "Of course, we not only played all over the East, but also went to several cities next door, and I also took a lot of photos?"

  The woman said, and looked at the defense table again, showing off.

   Zhang Wei noticed that every time he talked about Zeng Xiang, this woman was full of provocation and hostility towards Fang Yunshu.

   "This, maybe we can take advantage of it!"

   He made up his mind, and then continued to ask: "I want to ask the expenses of these trips, are they all..."

"It's all his money. He's already rich, and the studio can earn millions every month. Not only did he take me out for a trip, he also gave me a lot of good things, such as famous brand bags and brand-name jewelry. , designer clothes..."

   "Okay, okay, big sister, I understand!"

   Seeing that the woman was about to brag, Zhang Wei quickly interrupted.

   Immediately afterwards, his eyes rolled, and after thinking for a while, he suddenly asked: "Since you two have such a good relationship, has he ever touched you?"

   "Of course we did, let's hold hands and hug!"

   "Uh, I said touch, not this, but some content that is easy to 404!"

   "Objection, this issue has nothing to do with this case!"

   Seeing Zhang Wei's question, which was a bit out of line, Lan Zhengye immediately raised an objection.

   "Your Majesty, the prosecution took the lead in making a fuss about Zeng Xiang's private life. I just expanded it a bit?"

   But Zhang Wei had already anticipated it, and looked at the court as well.

   Judge Chen hesitated for a moment, thinking of what Lan Zhengye had just said, and made a decision in his heart.

   "The objection is invalid, and the witness needs to continue to answer questions; however, this court also explained to you that if the defense's questions involve some personal privacy, you can refuse to answer!"

   Zhang Wei then continued to look at the witness stand, "Eldest sister, since you have already said that you and Zeng Xiang have such a good relationship, do you have any further development?"

   "This..." The woman hesitated, and hesitated.

   Seeing this scene, Zhang Wei knew it.

   Similarly, Lan Zhengye and the jury at the prosecution seat were also surprised.

   Zeng Xiang has such a good relationship with you, and even took you on a trip, but the two of you never had a relationship?

   This is unscientific, is this Zeng Xiang still a man?

   "Oh, eldest sister, looking at your expression, I seem to know the answer!"

   Zhang Wei also spoke appropriately, looking at the woman with sympathy.

   A man is nice to you, but not interested in your body, this is simply inexplicable...

   No wonder Miss Peng is full of hostility towards Yunshu. The feeling is because Zeng Xiang's previous feelings for Yunshu made this woman jealous.

   Zhang Wei knew this, walked to the witness stand, and pointed to the defense stand.

   "Sister Peng, now let me ask you one more question, do you have some resentment towards Zeng Xiang for not touching you?"

   "And these resentments, because of Zeng Xiang's death, could not be vented, and finally transferred to his ex-wife, that is, my client, Ms. Fang Yunshu?"

   "Sister Peng, please tell us in front of the court, do you resent my client?"

   In the face of Zhang Wei's three consecutive solemn questions, everyone in the court also felt the importance of this question.

   "This..." The woman was completely restless.

   "Sister, please answer the question!"

   Zhang Wei spoke again.

   "Witness, this question concerns your integrity and the reliability of your testimony. Please answer it carefully and don't hide anything!"

   In the same way, Judge Chen also suddenly spoke up and helped Zhang Wei.

"I…"

The    woman opened her mouth, and finally her heart was ruthless. She pointed at the defense table and shouted: "Yes, I am jealous of that woman, jealous of the poor **** who sits there and pretends to be pitiful!"

   "Why does Ah Xiang still have you in his heart? Why did he go on a trip with me? I hinted at him so much, but he still doesn't touch me. I'm jealous of you, jealous of you Bichi..."

   Watching the woman finally reveal her heart, Zhang Wei's face showed a triumphant smile.

  This is what he wants, this woman's testimony has been invalidated!

   Not only that, part of this woman's testimony, but also some things.

   And these testimonies also indirectly helped him.

   The winds of the courtroom changed once again as witnesses spun out of control and uttered hysterical cries.
