Chapter 316: Another nationally renowned barrister
A Buick sedan passed through the old Harvard school gate, this car was Zhou Ming's car, and Zhou Ming and lawyer Allen were sitting in the car.
"Although I don't know what Old Brooke is going to do, but since he sent his butler out to warn us, it shows that he cares about his son very much and will do whatever it takes to keep Little Brooke, so I believe that this case will have a tough battle to fight when it goes to trial, after all, our opponents may come from all directions, and in order to ensure victory, we need to make more preparations before the trial. Alan said to Zhou Ming.
Although Alan was full of confidence, Zhou Ming still asked him: "How sure are you?"
"I'm confident!" Allen said, adding later, "as long as your Zyra-sensei doesn't change, of course. (m) the words of her testimony. ”
Speaking of this, Alan suddenly became surprised: "Wow, look at what I saw, Mr. Zhou Ming, your most powerful testimony." ”
Zyra was waiting in front of Zhou Ming's car and beckoned to the car, Zhou Ming asked ** to park the car in front of Zyra, Alan got out of the car first and said, "Zhou Ming, I'm going to collect other evidence first, you have to come on!"
Saying that, Alan also winked at Zhou Ming, it was obvious that he was not simply encouraging, but with some kind of impure meaning.
Zhou Ming felt a little speechless, he scratched his head and came to Zyra and asked, "Teacher Zyra, do you have anything wrong?"
Jie La didn't answer, but asked rhetorically: "What's the matter?" Zhou Ming, let me ask you, do you know what happened today?"
Jiela's rhetorical question made Zhou Ming feel a little inexplicable: "Are there any special days today?" I'm sorry Teacher Jiela, you know that I am Chinese, I have not been in the United States for a long time, I don't know. ”
"The first and second classes this morning were finance, and the third or fourth class was economics, and the teacher told me that you didn't come to class again, and you told me where you went? Do you remember that you promised me that you would come to class? You liar!"
Zyra questioned very loudly, her words were full of anger, in fact, she didn't see Allen's wink, she also knew how ambiguous she was looking for Zhou Ming like this, but she just couldn't control herself, because when Zhou Ming promised her before, she was so happy, but today when she came to check the situation in class, she found that Zhou Ming didn't come again, at this time Zyra deeply felt that she had been deceived, so she was desperate to wait here for Zhou Ming to ask him.
Zhou Ming then understood what Zyra was for, but was Zyra really waiting here for herself because of the responsibility of a class teacher, or did she really like herself?
Zhou Ming didn't know, but Zyra did this to give her a headache, Zhou Ming thought for a while and said: "Teacher Zyra, I'm sorry I didn't come to class, but I do have something, I think you must also know about the smashing of my dormitory convenience store, and now the matter is taken over by the Prosecutor's Office, I need to cooperate with the work of the Prosecutor's Office to better try the case, so that the suspect can finally be brought to justice." ”
In the end, Zhou Ming added another sentence and said: "Of course, you also need your cooperation here, because you are the only witness to testify against Brooke." ”
Zyra sighed and asked, "Is that me? So what if I say that I refuse to testify?"
"Teacher Zyra, why is this, do you have any conditions?" Zhou Ming asked.
Zyra smiled very happily, she said to Zhou Ming: "Zhou Ming's intelligence is wider than the sea, my condition is that you need to come to class on time every day, if I find out that you have unexcused truancy, I will definitely refuse to testify in court, I will do what I say!"
Zhou Ming felt extremely painful, he really didn't understand what this beautiful teacher was thinking, testifying in court and attending classes on time, there was no half-dime connection between the two, God knows how she connected them together.
But no matter what Zyra was thinking, Zhou Ming could only answer: "Okay Teacher Zyra, I understand, I will definitely go to class on time in the future." ”
"Wouldn't it be nice to do this earlier? But not now, if I see you skipping school again in the future, I will definitely find the court to retract my confession, I hope you remember it for me!"
Zyra threatened Zhou Ming and said, and Zhou Ming's nod said yes also made her very happy, in fact, she didn't know what the relationship was between attending class and testifying in court, or she didn't think about this problem at all, she just thought about asking Zhou Ming to come to class, and finally Zhou Ming's compromise also made her feel that she had taken Zhou Ming's weakness, which made her very happy.
"Zhou Ming, there are no compulsory courses in our class tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow is a very important introduction to economics, you must arrive, otherwise I will definitely not testify in court, you know?"
After Zyra finished speaking to Zhou Ming, she left, leaving Zhou Ming helpless in place: it seems that this woman is really troublesome to deal with, but she didn't want to provoke her, but who knew that she had to rely on herself? I didn't seem to tell her about my very rich things, and I didn't show how dazzling, and in the end, the Chinese look not in line with the aesthetics of Westerners, why is she?
If Zhou Ming makes his helplessness public, I believe that there will be many people who will fight hard with Zhou Ming, because Zyra is the goddess of many people, how many people have shown her favor and confessed that she is not a fake color, and now she takes the initiative to find you, you still dislike her, and pretending to be b will be struck by lightning!
But fortunately, there is no device in the world that makes his mind public, Zhou Ming escaped, and two days passed quickly, and at half past eight in the morning of the third day, Zhou Ming took the finance class to the economics department building, and Zyra was waiting for him at the door of the classroom.
Zhou Ming saw Zyra, Zyra naturally saw Zhou Ming, she was very happy to come over and say to Zhou Ming: "Zhou Ming is very positive today, this is what a Harvard student should do, behave well, I will help you!"
After saying that, Zyra turned around and left, and at this time, Ye Ning was very dissatisfied and said: "What kind of teacher is Zyra, she doesn't look like teaching and educating people at all, just like the barmaid who accompanies the bar, it's disgusting!"
Then Ye Ning said to Zhou Ming: "Teacher, you are a very important pillar of the country, don't be deceived by these Western women, they have other motives if they don't do it well." ”
If Zyra's performance before made Zhou Ming helpless, then now Ye Ning's words made him feel a headache, a beautiful female teacher and a simple female student, how could these two such taboo relationships let themselves catch up? I just hope that they think too much, they don't really like themselves, they just have a good impression of themselves.
On this day of class, in addition to the relationship between Zyra and Ye Ning that made Zhou Ming feel a little difficult to deal with, there was another thing that Zhou Ming couldn't help but note, that is, Brooke was released on bail.
In fact, this did not surprise Zhou Ming, after all, under the bail system, even a big drug lord has the right to be released on bail, not to mention that Brooke is just a petty crime, in addition, Brooke's family is very rich, this time his father stood up and found a lawyer to bail Brooke too simple. It's just that what Zhou Ming didn't expect was that Brooke came to him on the first day of bail.
"Zhou Ming, you Chinese really dare to call the police to arrest me, but unfortunately, I will never go to jail! And that bitch of Jiela, I won't let you go to you with dogs and men!" Brooke shouted at Zhou Ming, still as arrogant as ever.
Zhou Ming didn't pay attention to him, after all, there was no value in arguing with him, Zhou Ming just said to him: "Brooke, can you get out of the courtroom and talk about it." ”
Half a month passed quickly, and when it was the day of the court session, Zhou Ming and lawyer Allen came to the Brighton City Court together.
"Mr. Zhou Ming, this time I have collected the testimony of five Harvard classmates, three of whom agreed to testify in court, as well as the testimony of Moore and Kohler, the housekeeper, who also agreed to testify in court. ”
When they met, Allen said to Zhou Ming: "But the most important thing is the testimony of Teacher Zyra, if she can't testify in court, then it is very likely that Brooke's crime will not be established." ”
"Lawyer Allen, don't worry, I have already said it to Teacher Zyra, and she will testify in court. Zhou Ming said.
Alan breathed a sigh of relief, at this time they heard someone shouting behind them, Zhou Ming and Allen turned around, it was Clark, the deputy prosecutor general of the Brighton City Prosecutor's Office, obviously he was the one who attended the court debate on behalf of the prosecutor's office this time.
"Mr. Zhou Ming, Hello lawyer, I am very happy to meet you here, as a small municipal deputy prosecutor, it is only a small infringement lawsuit, I can actually meet two nationally renowned barristers, I think it is very rare. Clark said.
Zhou Ming heard the weakness in Clark's words and asked, "Wait a minute, Deputy Prosecutor General Clark, you just said two nationally renowned barristers, I know that one is talking about Lawyer Allen, but what about the other?"
This time, Clark was puzzled, he looked at Zhou Ming and Allen and asked, "God, don't you all know? I'm talking about Little Brooke's defense lawyer, who is the most famous barrister in New York, Sapiro." ”
"What Sapiro? My God, this Brooke Congressman is really a rich man, and he really has a way to hire such a barrister in order to keep his son. Allen gasped and said, "This Attorney Sapiro is a very good lawyer, he is very good at finding and seizing all possible loopholes and then chasing after them, he will not give his opponent any chance, and he has successfully defended many people who cannot get away with their crimes." ”
Allen concluded: "I met him once a long time ago and that time he won big. ”
Zhou Ming frowned, on the one hand, it was what Allen said, and on the other hand, it was also the sudden appearance of lawyer Sapiro, as Deputy Prosecutor General Clark was surprised, because the secrecy was very good in advance, Zhou Ming did not know that it was Sapiro who appeared in court to defend Little Brooke.
"It doesn't look like the trial will be as easy as we thought. Zhou Ming said.
