Chapter 291 Motion Procedure, Recognize Father on the Spot?

Inside the criminal department.

The atmosphere is a bit heavy.

When Zhang Wei learned that the prosecutor of the case was Guo Wufeng, he naturally couldn't keep calm.

It happened to be Lao Guo, why Lao Guo, why is it Lao Guo?

A series of questions flashed through my mind.

If Guo Wufeng went out in person, it meant that the two of them had no way to reconcile.

He sat in the big conference room without saying a word.

The Lao Tie and his party on the side were also silent.

After a long time, Tie Ruyun winked at Lin Yumeng who was at the side.

The latter pursed his lips, a little displeased.

Why am I, you are the leader, you can't speak?

But the little apprentice is still a little apprentice after all, after pouting, he still acted.

"Master, don't worry, the big deal is that you will lose the lawsuit. It's not like you haven't lost before~"

As the little apprentice spoke, he suddenly realized, "Speaking of master, have you ever lost a lawsuit?"

"I haven't lost a lawsuit in decades!"

Zhang Wei's voice became low, and the gloom on his face was slightly revealed.

"Master, you are joking again, you were not born decades ago!"

The little apprentice laughed, secretly thinking that Zhang Wei had amused himself with a random joke.

But she found that after no one was smiling except herself, the smile on the corner of her mouth quickly disappeared.

"By the way, master, I don't think this case should be dealt with. Why do you still sign a contract with that client?"

The little apprentice asked everyone's doubts, not just her, Tie Ruyun, and Li Yueqin.

Even the other twenty or so newcomers also pricked up their ears.

Although they all passed Jincheng's initial and re-examinations, the criminal department is currently short of people, and the requirements for this new recruit have actually been lowered a lot.

So among these newcomers, many of them are new lawyers and freshmen in the workplace, and they are also very curious.

"Actually, it's true that this case doesn't have to be fought, but who stipulates that I will definitely lose?"

Zhang Wei opened his eyes wide and then laughed.

His smile was not a happy one, but a weird one, a sinister one.

Seeing this scene, Lin Yumeng was inexplicably scared.

When other people saw this smile, they felt that Zhang Wei was a little unpredictable.

But there are also some newcomers who have some strength in themselves, and feel that Zhang Wei is pretending.

There is no need to fight this case. Even if you, Zhang Wei, are Jincheng's ace lawyer, you are a well-known powerful person in the East these days, and it is impossible for you to really shake the world.

"All in all, tomorrow, Friday, we can go through a motion procedure to test the tone of the local prosecutor's headquarters!"

Zhang Wei finalized the plan, and then went back to the office to deal with it.

A group of newcomers were left behind, all looking at each other in blank dismay.

"Well, Boss Tie, if this case is going to court, can we go and listen in?"

A girl blinked her eyes and looked at Tie Ruyun expectantly.

Not only her, but other newcomers are also excited.

After all, this is an opportunity to watch the trial of the famous and vicious Lawyer Zhang in the East, which is rare.

"Uh, your new employee handbook..."

"Boss Tie, we will definitely keep the employee handbook in mind, but we really want to attend Lawyer Zhang Wei's trial!" The girl blinked again, looking expectant.

Seeing this, the other little girls also imitated the girls and looked at Tie Ruyun eagerly.

Lao Tie has been single for more than 30 years. He has never seen such a battle before, and he immediately compromised.

"Don't trouble Zhang Wei, you are just going to listen in, remember to take notes!"

He dropped this sentence, gave a few more instructions, and then went back to his office to work.

"Oye!"

When the newcomers saw that the boss agreed, they all cheered.

For new lawyers, they all fantasize about being eloquent in court.

And now you can closely observe Zhang Wei's posture in the trial, which is a great thing.

Not to mention the excitement of the newcomers outside.

At this moment, Zhang Wei, who was sitting in the office, was not in a good mood.

Because he found that this case is almost impossible to fight by normal means.

Because Gao Xiaoping's behavior is indeed illegal practice of medicine.

Although she has a medical license from her hometown, Dongfang doesn't even recognize it.

Moreover, since Beichong Island was merged into Dongfang Capital, all management regulations must follow the standards of Dongfang Capital.

In other words, expectant mothers on the entire Beichong Island must go to the hospital to register for delivery.

Therefore, the conduct of the client and the parties is a proper illegal act.

According to the standard procedure, there is no problem for the assistant prosecutor to prosecute Gao Xiaoping.

and……

Zhang Wei thought of something, opened the webpage, and began to search for some keywords.

Soon, he saw a lot of information.

Some of the information illustrates the dangers of choosing a midwife for midwifery.

Authoritative data also say that going to the hospital to give birth is for the benefit of the child and parents, and choosing an unlicensed midwife is tantamount to leaving the life of the mother and child to the Lord of the Underworld.

After reading the message, Zhang Wei rubbed his forehead.

Difficult!

This case is simply too difficult!

Not only was the evidence conclusive, but the client was also not innocent. She had indeed committed a crime.

"How about reconciliation?"

Zhang Wei thought about it, and immediately rejected the idea.

Who is the prosecutor?

Guo Wufeng!

If he can reconcile with Zhang Wei, unless the sun comes out from the west.

"Forget it, forget it, wait until tomorrow, take one step at a time!"

Thinking so, Zhang Wei began to prepare.

...

The next day, Friday.

Eastern Metropolitan Court, a meeting room.

Zhang Wei sat next to the person involved, Gao Xiaoping, and there were two people sitting opposite him.

One of them stared at him the whole time, as if someone owed him money and didn't pay him back, but it wasn't Guo Wufeng.

The other one was dressed in formal attire and had a very calm expression. He should be Xiao Chen, the assistant prosecutor of Beichong Island.

The latter is the Beichong Island prosecutor who initiated a public prosecution against Gao Xiaoping in accordance with the regulations, but he also handed over the case to the local prosecutor's headquarters.

The former is the receiver of the case.

"Well, I'm sorry, I was late for a while because I was called to the meeting by the leader just now!"

The door of the meeting room opened again, wearing a pitch-black robe, but looking at the younger judge, he hurried in.

The judge was a young fellow, who looked to be in his thirties.

This age, at least in the profession of judges, belongs to the younger category, which can also be said to be less experienced.

He also wears a pair of glasses, and he walks very fast. He looks like he is in a hurry, but it gives people the feeling that he doesn't want to keep the guests waiting for a long time.

After he sat down, he introduced himself to both parties:

"Hello everyone, my surname is Liu, Wendao Liu, you can call me Judge Liu, I was promoted from the District Court to our Eastern Metropolis Court last year, so if there is anything wrong in this case, please let me know." Bring it up with me, and I will definitely change it!"

From Judge Liu's introduction, Zhang Wei could tell that this person was not only inexperienced, but also not strong enough in character.

Such a judge may be more intimidating to some seniors.

like...

"Judge Liu, since you are here, we can also proceed with the pre-trial "motion procedure"! "

Although Guo Wufeng was asking the judge for instructions, his face was tense and his aura was fully open, which brought a sense of oppression to the surroundings.

"Yes, yes, Director Guo, what you said is true, then let's start the motion procedure!"

Judge Liu's attitude towards Guo Wufeng was very humble, just like a student in training.

"Hmph, that's how it should be, after all our time is precious!"

As soon as the judge finished speaking, Guo Wufeng snorted and looked at Zhang Wei, "Lawyer Zhang, don't say I didn't give you a chance. If your client pleads guilty, we can give you a lighter sentence!"

"Old Guo, you put it so lightly, how much is it?"

Zhang Wei looked at Guo Wufeng and narrowed his eyes.

Guo Wufeng frowned, feeling a little unhappy.

Do I know you very well, you call me Lao Guo?

Didn't you see other judges calling me Director Guo?

You, a defense lawyer, actually called me Lao Guo. Those who didn’t know thought we were our own people, so don’t get me too close!

However, although Guo Wufeng was very upset in his heart, after dealing with Zhang Wei many times, he also knew that the other party had a thick skin.

"10 years!"

"What?"

Hearing this number, Zhang Wei was stunned.

"It takes 10 years to be punished lightly, if not lightly, how many years?"

"11-15 years!" Guo Wufeng said the result coldly.

Good guy!

Really good guy!

Zhang Wei could tell that the group of people sitting across from him was totally insincere.

Not only Zhang Wei, but also Gao Xiaoping was also angry when she heard the age limit, and couldn't help but clenched her hands tightly.

"Ahem, let me stroke it!"

Zhang Wei noticed the mood change of the person involved, and interrupted immediately.

"The prosecution charged my client with the crime of illegal medical practice; this crime is illegal practice of medicine by people who have not obtained the doctor's qualifications. Generally, they can be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of less than 3 years, criminal detention or public surveillance. Only if the patient's health is seriously damaged 3-10 years in prison."

"I remember that it is written in the criminal law that only if the patient dies, can he be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of more than 10 years?"

When Zhang Wei said this, he said solemnly: "My client, Ms. Gao, has served many couples as a midwife in Beichong Island in the past few years, but there is no case of maternal death directly because of her intervention, right?"

"Lawyer Zhang is still good at playing word games?"

Guo Wufeng sneered and threw out a report.

"Your client has been practicing medicine in Beichong Island for more than 20 years, and has treated more than a hundred couples. Among them, some women died of excessive bleeding during childbirth..."

"It was postpartum hemorrhage, and the examiner also said it was soft birth canal laceration and cervical laceration, as well as a case of coagulation dysfunction. I'm just a midwife and can't help them!"

Guo Wufeng was interrupted by Gao Xiaoping before he finished speaking.

"But if the mothers gave birth in a regular hospital, they could have avoided this situation. Before giving birth in a regular hospital, there will be a number of strict physical examination indicators, which may be able to save those mothers who died of hemorrhage!"

Guo Wufeng was also not used to Gao Xiaoping, so he also interrupted in a cold voice.

"I don't think I did anything wrong, but you guys are making excuses!"

Gao Xiaoping immediately slapped the table and stood up.

This scene startled Judge Liu who was sitting in the front seat.

"That's right, what you say doesn't count, and what we say doesn't count, it's the law that has the final say!"

With Guo Wufeng's temper, how could he bear the defendant's dominance in front of him, so he immediately slapped the table and got up, and turned back.

For a while, the two confronted each other, and the atmosphere in the meeting room was oppressive and dignified.

Judge Liu and Assistant Prosecutor Chen looked at the two in astonishment.

Isn't it just a pre-trial motion procedure, does it need to be so intense?

Only then did Judge Liu remember the advice of his seniors after he took over the case.

"Xiao Liu, I don't know whether to congratulate you or sympathize with you. The evidence in this case is solid, and the defendant should have no choice but to run away. But this case is not easy for you, because the prosecutor is Lao Guo from the local prosecutor's headquarters. And the most troublesome thing is the defense, that lawyer named Zhang Wei is very tricky!"

Judge Liu didn't take it seriously at first, but he didn't expect to regret it now.

Before the defense lawyer could speak, the client had already quarreled with the prosecutor.

What can I do?

Similarly, Xiao Chen was also confused. Is this the Dongfang Capital's motion? Why does it feel like a war?

Our local prosecutor in Beichong Island handles small cases in the countryside, and everyone conducts pre-trial discussions in a friendly manner. How can it be so exaggerated?

"You two, please sit down, this is a pre-trial motion, not a court hearing!"

Judge Liu immediately spoke up, offering a word of comfort.

Both parties sat down resentfully, but the faces of Guo Wufeng and Gao Xiaoping were still angry.

In the end, Zhang Wei, who had always had a calm expression, opened his mouth while flipping through the report.

"Actually, what Lao Guo said is also reasonable. My client is right or wrong. It's not you and me who have the final say, but the law."

"However, according to your report, the most recent one who died after giving birth was five years ago, and Beichong Island was merged into the Oriental Capital for nearly five years, which means that five years ago , my client is still a licensed medical practitioner.”

"If there is a way, the law should not investigate the past. What happened five years ago, my client didn't violate any procedures. I believe the law can't hold her accountable for any fault, right?"

Hearing what Zhang Wei said, Guo Wufeng sneered:

"Hmph, Lawyer Zhang is indeed Lawyer Zhang, and with a few understatements, he wants to clear your client's guilt away!"

But Zhang Wei laughed, "Old Guo, you too. Even if my client made a mistake, it was only in the past five years. If you really want to pursue it, then when you were young, you copied your homework, peeked at girls' skirts, and even scolded you behind your back. Teacher, don't you also have the intention of falsification, obscenity, and slander, don't you want all these old things to be revealed?"

"When did I scold the teacher, peek under girls' skirts, and copy homework?"

Guo Wufeng immediately retorted, you are just changing the concept secretly.

Zhang Wei said indifferently: "I'm just telling the truth according to the facts. Even if it is necessary to reach a settlement agreement with the prosecution, I only suggest that my client agree with the situation in the past five years!"

Right at the beginning, Judge Liu saw that the two sides had finally finished their communication, and hurriedly asked, "Then according to the defense, your condition is..."

Zhang Wei held up three fingers: "Three years, we can only agree to three years at most, and two years of probation, and parole is allowed in the last year!"

As soon as these words came out, Guo Wufeng's eyes widened immediately.

"Good guy, plead guilty for three years, you will be suspended for two years, and you can be released on parole in the last year, so you don't have to sit in jail for a day?"

"But my client pleaded guilty?" Zhang Wei spread his hands with an innocent face.

Anyway, I have given you the conditions, and I have also shown a cooperative attitude, what else do you want?

That is to say, this case does not have to be fought. If there is even a slight possibility, I, Zhang, will not cooperate with you like this!

Guo Wufeng couldn't bear seeing Zhang Wei put on an attitude of "I've seriously considered it, and I've just given such a condition, do you want it or not?"

"Although Lawyer Zhang's words are not wrong, the law does not investigate the past, but in the past five years, your client has still carried out midwifery work under the condition that the license is invalid, and this is still under the circumstances informed by the local prosecutor. If you commit a crime knowingly, the crime will be aggravated."

"Besides, under her midwifery work, there are still newborns who die young. If these newborns are born in the local hospital, they probably won't die early. These are still living lives, and they must be counted in her head!"

Hearing Guo Wufeng's words, Zhang Wei couldn't help it immediately, and replied: "Old Guo, you are making trouble for no reason! Before the fetus is born, they don't have the right to life, and they can't be regarded as a complete legally. people!"

"You tell the jury these words, do you think they will listen?"

Guo Wufeng sneered, and faced Zhang Wei: "Go and tell the jury that when their children are in the womb, they can't be counted as individuals, and they can't even be counted as life. Will they sympathize with you and your client?"

If you are so unfeeling, obviously you can't make the jury sympathize, and even if the jury is not hostile to you, it is considered big enough.

"So there's nothing to talk about?"

Zhang Wei frowned and looked at Guo Wufeng.

The latter snorted coldly, with a serious tone: "Hmph, we have already given the conditions. Your client must be responsible for the children who died in these years, and she committed a crime knowingly. , the law will not allow it!"

"Actually, I think 10 years is indeed a bit heavy..." Judge Liu on the side said weakly.

"Judge Liu, shut up!" But Guo Wufeng stared at him, and the latter forcibly held back his words.

In front of Lao Guo, this newcomer, Judge Liu, did not have the majesty of a judge at all.

Zhang Wei knew that Guo Wufeng was determined to punish Gao Xiaoping severely, otherwise he would not have said such a deadly word.

It doesn't make sense for them to stay here, could it be that they stay and continue to suffer from Guo Wufeng's anger?

"Okay then, let's see you in court!"

Zhang Wei left behind a word and led the client away.

"Zhang Wei, I would like to advise you, you are doomed to lose this time, if I were you, I would hurry up and bring the client to plead guilty, this is the best result so far!"

When Zhang Wei walked to the door, Guo Wufeng's sarcasm sounded in his ears.

After realizing the judge's weak personality, Guo Wufeng no longer respected Zhang Wei, and he didn't even call him a lawyer.

"Old Guo, let me also tell you that nothing in this world is absolute. God knows what will happen in the future. Maybe I will come back again!"

"If you can turn things around, I, Guo Wufeng, will leave my words here, and I will call you daddy on the spot!"

Hearing Guo Wufeng's words, Zhang Wei left without looking back.

In the conference room, whether it was Xiao Chen or Judge Liu, they all looked at Lao Guo in a daze.

Boy, how confident are you.

What if you get slapped in the face?

Do you really want to call Lawyer Zhang father?

That picture is really... shocking, right?
