Crazy, You Call This a Trainee Lawyer

Chapter 579: Request for retrial, 12-year wait

  Longxiang Construction Group, President's Office.

  Zhang Wei left, taking Xia Qianyue with him.

   At this moment, only You Dalei and Chen Xiao were left in the office.

   "This kid, won't he just come here to write the gauntlet?"

   "No, because he came to see me today, and seeing you was just a coincidence."

  You Dalei shook his head, he didn't know that you, Chen Xiao, were also here.

   He guessed that Zhang Wei originally wanted to come and ask himself, but because Chen Xiao was present, he knew that he couldn't ask a question, so he came here instead.

   "However, speaking of it, does he really only know so much information about Guan Yuhong's case?"

  You Dalei thought about the inference that Zhang Wei forcibly linked himself to Guan Yuhong's case, and couldn't help but want to laugh, but he couldn't.

   "I don't know, but I guess that he can win so many people in the East, it shouldn't be as simple as it looks!"

  Chen Xiao's attitude towards Zhang Wei is actually a little apprehensive.

   After all, although the other party looks young, I heard that he is a ruthless person in the East.

   Those records are also real.

   Even if the lawyers of Dongfang Capital and the local prosecutor's headquarters in Dongfang Capital are incompetent, Zhang Wei wins so much, and it can explain something.

  This kid, even if he is young and inexperienced, he has strength after all.

   It may be good luck to win the land inspection headquarters once or twice, but three, four or five times, it must be more than just luck.

   "This kid also said that tomorrow he will take Guan Yuhong to the Court of Appeal, what do we need to do?"

   "It's better to stay put for now. After all, the District Attorney's Headquarters isn't for dry food. Do you really think he can appeal if he wants to appeal?"

  Chen said with a smile and sneered, "He Zhang Wei is a bit famous in the East, but this is the Dragon Capital, so he can't help it!"

"Besides, as Guan Yuhong's entrusted lawyer 12 years ago, I am also obliged to go to the court to apply for an appeal. At that time, Zhang Wei will not only have to face that Zhu Gaojian, he will also have to face my sniping! "

   "That's right!"

  You Dalei nodded when he heard this.

   He predicts that no matter how powerful Zhang Wei is, he should be able to face a high-level prosecutor, and with Chen Xiao, a top lawyer, cooperating on the side, the appeal will not succeed!

   "Don't worry, even if this kid can really make a splash, we still have Master Long!"

   "Hahaha, I heard you say that, this time, that kid is sure to lose no matter what!"

   "Of course, as long as we're still here, this kid has no chance of winning!"

  In the office, there were only snorts of laughter.

  You Dalei and Chen Xiao, at this moment, they are full of confidence and confidence.

   Like they said, I really don’t know how to lose?

  …

at the same time.

  Because he didn't expect Chen Xiao to be there, Zhang Wei could only stop asking You Dalei.

   After he had written the gauntlet, he returned with Xia Qianyue.

   When they returned to the homestay, it was still close to evening.

   Zhao Xiaoxiao and the others haven't seen any pictures yet, obviously they are playing crazy outside.

   Zhang Wei is not ambiguous, he works when he should work, and naturally rests when he should rest.

   He took Xia Qianyue out for a while and experienced the special snacks of Longdu.

   It can only be said that there are all over the world, but the local characteristics of Longdu are less.

   After all, Longdu brings together migrant workers from all over the Dragon Kingdom. In order to earn the money of these migrant workers, businesses can be said to use all means.

   So there are things in the south, the sea and the north, but the characteristics of Longdu are lacking.

   Come to think of it, it is a local characteristic of Longdu, so you disdain to drop your body to cater to outsiders.

   This also allowed Zhang Wei to see some clues about Longdu, proud!

   At 10 p.m., Zhao Xiaoxiao and the others came back, and Zhang Wei also took Xia Qianyue to spend a few hours in the sweet world of two.

   "Remember to go to bed early, tomorrow and Monday, let's take the client to appeal!"

   "Okay, I just got tired from playing today, so I'm going to take a shower~"

   Zhao Xiaoxiao yawned, she was a little sleepy.

   "Good night Zhang Wei, good night Xiao Yueyue!"

   "Bye, see you tomorrow~"

"Sweet dreams!"

  Mo Yuzhu, Jessica and Xia Qianyue also each greeted Zhang Wei and then went back to the room.

  Zhang Wei took a deep breath, and also started to wash, then returned to the room and went to bed early.

  After all, they have been preparing for a long time for the appeal next week.

   Just waiting for this day!

  …

   Monday, Appeal Day.

   In the blink of an eye, Zhang Wei has been in Longdu for a week.

   This is also the third week of October, and the summer heat has basically receded, leaving only the refreshing autumn wind and slightly cooler temperatures.

   "Old Tie, you are back too!"

   "Nonsense, today is the retrial application day, can I not come back?"

  Tie Ruyun laughed inwardly, and then his face became serious, "Zhang Wei, are you sure you are going to the Supreme Court today?"

   "Rest assured, everything is planned!"

  Zhang Wei replied with an "OK" gesture, showing confidence on his face.

"That's good!"

   Seeing Zhang Wei so confident, Lao Tie was also relieved.

   Today's appeal carries his 12-year wish, so there can be no mistake.

   But he is now the second lawyer, and the stage has to be handed over to Zhang Wei.

   "Okay, after breakfast, let's go!"

  After a simple and pleasant breakfast, everyone is ready to go.

at the same time.

   Rendezvous suburban prison.

  In a single cell.

   Guan Yuhong sorted out his personal belongings and carefully observed his face in front of the mirror to see if there was anything to be modified.

   He shaved his beard just now, and because of his excitement, there were a few small wounds on his chin.

   He touched his bare chin, looked at his face in the mirror, and then couldn't help but sigh.

   He waited 12 years for this day.

From the unease and fear of entering the prison at the beginning; to the subsequent shouting, questioning, and approaching madness; to self-doubt, to numbness; then suddenly enlightenment and accepting it without knowing the day; finally, it suddenly reignites without knowing which day hope.

   In the past 12 years, he has carried too much.

   Only he knows what he has experienced in the past 12 years.

   "12 years, 12 years, just for this day!"

   Guan Yuhong really wanted to shout like this in front of everyone.

   Do you know how I have spent the past 12 years?

   There are neither games nor TV watching in the prison, let alone playing Blue Moon. Do you know how I lived in the past 12 years?

   "Guan Yuhong, your appeal will start in 1 hour, get ready to go!"

   The prison guards also came at this time.

   "Okay, guard, I'm ready!"

   Guan Yuhong has been preparing for this day for 12 years, and he does not need a guard to remind him, he has already prepared it.

  …

  After 1 hour.

  Longguo Supreme Court, Court of Appeals.

   Zhang Wei and Lao Tie, with Xia Qianyue, Zhao Xiaoxiao, Jessica and Mo Yuzhu, a group of 6 waiting in the courtroom.

   Then, the prison guard brought Guan Yuhong to the court scene.

  In the hearing box, as Guan Yuhong's son, Guan Ping also came here early in the morning to wait.

   Seeing the father appear, the father and son looked at each other for a long time, and everything was silent.

   "Lawyer Zhang, Lawyer Tie!"

   "Mr. Guan!"

   Both sides nodded and then took their places.

   On the other side, Chen Xiao also came. As Guan Yuhong's criminal defense lawyer, she was naturally obliged to be present.

   However, Chen Xiao just looked at Zhang Wei and his party with a mocking smile on his face from time to time.

   Maybe in her opinion, it is really whimsical to apply for a retrial of the case 12 years ago.

   "Cough, Guan Yuhong case!"

   Following the announcement of the presiding judge in the appeal court, Zhang Wei and his party went to the court.

   With them in court, there are people who are the prosecution.

   Coincidentally, the person who came was still Zhu Yuansi.

   It seems that this Zhu Gaojian is Zhang Wei's opponent.

   "Why should a retrial be initiated for the murder case 12 years ago?"

   The presiding judge looked at Zhang Wei and his party below. As the justice of the Supreme Court's appeals court, he was a little curious.

"Your Excellency, as Mr. Guan's defense lawyer, I found that there were many unreasonable things in the trial 12 years ago. Therefore, in order to prove the innocence of my client, Mr. Guan Yuhong, we request the appeal court to accept our request. Support the retrial of this case!"

   "How many unreasonable things were there in the case 12 years ago?"

   "There are many, the most important of which comes from the defense lawyer at that time, Ms. Chen Xiao!"

   "Oh, Lawyer Chen?"

   The presiding judge looked at Chen Xiao, who was below, with a surprised look on his face.

  12 years ago, Chen Xiao was Guan Yuhong's defense lawyer, and not many people know this.

   But now, 12 years later, Chen Xiao is the junior partner of Longteng International, which many people know.

   A well-known lawyer has many unreasonable points in the case 12 years ago. Is this considered the other party's black material?

   "Your Majesty, as one of the parties to this case, I am inexplicably surprised by Lawyer Zhang's accusation!"

  Chen laughed when he saw Zhang Wei shoot directly at him, and immediately denied it.

"In fact, 12 years ago, I put a lot of effort into Mr. Guan's case. Unfortunately, the prosecutors at the District Prosecution Headquarters are superior. I did not defend Mr. Guan's innocence because of my lack of strength. That's it!"

   "Your Honor, this is unreasonable!"

Zhang Wei raised a finger and questioned: "Mr. Guan's case was considered to have a great impact at the time, but Longteng International, which ranks first in Longdu, has a trainee lawyer who has just joined the law firm in charge of this case. Isn't it a little too hasty?"

   "Lawyer Zhang, I remember that you were also a trainee lawyer and took over a lot of criminal cases, right?"

On Chen Xiao's side, he also prepared a lot, and even took Zhang Wei as an example, and said: "For example, the case of Lin Xiao in your first fight with the Dongfang Metropolitan Prosecution Headquarters, and the case of Tang Chunfeng in your second fight, The Wang Yuqing case in the third fight, the Fang Yunshu case in the fourth fight..."

   It can be said that Chen Xiao actually investigated Zhang Wei's record of fighting with the Eastern Metropolitan Prosecution Headquarters from his debut to the present.

   In fact, Chen Xiao was also stunned when he saw Zhang Wei's resume for the first time.

   It is hard to imagine that a student who has just graduated from law school, even before he has obtained a certificate, can become a commune defense lawyer that is generally considered to be the hardest, most tiring and most dangerous in the industry, and win so many criminal cases.

  This kid, let it go!

   Crazy, you call this a trainee lawyer?

   This kid is either a genius, or he is daring and unlucky.

   Anyway, this kid is very evil!

   "Lawyer Chen, I'm glad you read the cases I've taken over, but I wonder if you've noticed that these cases have one thing in common?"

   "What in common?"

   "That's these cases, many people think they can't fight, but I want to fight because I know the parties are innocent!"

   Zhang Wei said and pointed at Guan Yuhong, "Same, this case is the same, I think Mr. Guan is innocent, so I have to initiate a retrial application!"

   "Since lawyer Chen has taken me as an example, then I'll also clarify here. Many lawyers thought they couldn't fight the original cases, so they didn't take over the case, and in the end they all fell on my head."

"But the case of my client, Mr. Guan, is different. Longteng Law Firm clearly has so many excellent lawyers, but the law firm has changed Mr. Guan's attorney without asking my client's opinion. This is completely inconsistent with the norm. !"

   "It's not like you didn't know about Tie Ruyun's situation at the time!"

   "Oh, that's weird, didn't I prove the old iron's innocence in the internal hearing last week?"

"This…"

  Chen Xiao never imagined that he wanted to shoot things like a cloud of iron, but Zhang Wei was already prepared.

   The things about Lao Tie and you have already been revealed.

   "Well, I have also heard about your Bar Association's hearing!" After hearing this, the presiding judge couldn't help but nodded.

   Then he looked at Tie Ruyun, "Lawyer Tie, you were in charge of defending the client at that time, right?"

   "Yes, Your Honor!"

   "At that time, I remember that you had to give up your defense qualifications because you were investigated by the Bar Association?"

"Yes."

   "After 12 years, last week, the Bar Association dropped the charges against you. So you were framed 12 years ago, shouldn't the Bar Association revoke your defense?"

   "I think, yes."

"oh, I understand now!"

   It seems that the presiding judge decided to accept Zhang Wei's suggestion.

   However, based on this alone, it is obviously impossible to have the case retrial.

"Twelve years ago, due to some injustice, the defense lawyer lost his defense qualification, and then lawyer Chen replaced lawyer Tie, but lawyer Chen obviously took over in a hurry, and there was no way to provide excellent defense services for the client, which led to Mr. Guan Yuhong was found guilty and imprisoned..."

   "Yes, Your Honor, I even asked for an appeal after the trial, but Lawyer Chen did not follow my advice at all. I feel that I have been despised and my rights are not guaranteed!"

   Guan Yuhong also spoke up and pointed at Chen Xiao with a look of indignation.

   Seeing Zhang Wei and Guan Yuhong, "fired" at Chen Xiao at the same time, the presiding judge turned his head again and looked at Zhu Yuansi.

   "Prosecutor, what's your opinion?"

   "We think that the retrial is slightly inappropriate!"

   As the representative of the prosecution, Zhu Yuansi naturally needs to safeguard the interests of the prosecution.

  The murder case 12 years ago, God knows how much manpower and material resources it will take to initiate a retrial.

   Moreover, once the case 12 years ago is overturned, it will also be a huge blow to the prestige of the Longdu District Prosecution Headquarters.

   After comprehensive consideration, the prosecution will naturally not support the retrial.

   In fact, 100% of convicted cases, the prosecution will not agree to retrial.

   Zhang Wei had expected this.

   "Your Excellency the Judge, Zhu Gaojian, please allow us to submit evidence for this retrial appeal to prove that my client, Mr. Guan Yuhong, suffered injustice 12 years ago!"

  Since the prosecution does not agree, then only rely on proof to obtain support.

   "This court approves. If the defense has evidence to prove that there were many mistakes or unreasonable things in the judgment 12 years ago, then this court will consider the retrial of this case!"

   The presiding judge has nothing to say. If you have evidence, you can show it.

   "First of all, please let me disclose a document. This document can show that lawyer Chen Xiao, as Mr. Guan Yuhong's defense lawyer, has a huge conflict with Mr. Guan's interests!"

   "It can even be said that if Mr. Guan is imprisoned, it will be beneficial to her, so it is impossible for her to truly give her best service for Mr. Guan Yuhong!"

  The first piece of evidence submitted by Zhang Wei was again directed at Chen Xiao.

   "This is an intimate photo of Lawyer Chen Xiao and President You of Long Xiang Jianshe, taken 12 years ago when my colleague Tie Lawyer was still working in Longteng International Law Firm!"

  These photos have been shown at the internal hearing, but this is the first time they have been submitted to the court.

   The presiding judge and Zhu Yuansi both got a copy of the photo.

  Chen Xiao's face was slightly gloomy, because she did not expect that Zhang Wei brought the evidence from the internal hearing here.

"In fact, the conflict of interest between lawyer Chen Xiao and my client, Mr. Guan, came from here. My client, Mr. Guan, has repeatedly rejected the acquisition request of Longxiang Construction, because he was unwilling to give up the store on which he lived, which led to There is a conflict of interest between Longxiang Construction and him."

"As for lawyer Chen Xiao, just one year after Mr. Guan Yuhong was imprisoned, he became a partner lawyer of Longxiang Construction. It can be seen from the photos that Mr. You and Chen of Longxiang Construction have been with Mr. Guan Yuhong for a long time. At the time of the trial, they had already maintained a close relationship, and it is difficult to say whether they deliberately violated the interests of my client, Mr. Guan, because of the acquisition of Longxiang Construction!"

   Hearing this, the presiding judge couldn't help but nodded.

   The photo was taken during the trial of the Guan Yuhong case 12 years ago, which is meaningless to everyone.

   During this time, Chen Xiao had already hooked up with You Dalei.

   It's hard to say whether Chen Xiao would really let Guan Yuhong go to jail for the benefit of You Dalei and Long Xiang Construction.

   After all, Guan Yuhong was imprisoned, and his shop could no longer be opened, so it would be meaningless whether he agrees with the acquisition of Longxiang Construction.

  Everyone is in prison, how can he resist the real estate development plan of Longxiang Construction?

   "Yes, what Lawyer Zhang said makes sense. Lawyer Chen, your actions are indeed inappropriate!"

   Looking at the photo in his hand, the presiding judge was slightly suspicious of Chen Xiao.

   And his reaction was also watched by Guan Yuhong and Zhang Wei.

   The former clenched his hands involuntarily, with a solemn look on his face.

   After all, 12 years of waiting is for this moment.

   On the other hand, Zhang Wei's eyes were calm and even slightly suspicious.

   After all, Chen Xiao and Zhu Yuansi will not let the case pass the retrial request easily!
