A week later, the Jialing District People's Court of Nanxi City, the divorce case of Ling Shuang and Wu Yi was held for the first time.

At Ling Li's repeated insistence, the case proceeded directly to the procedure without pre-litigation mediation.

Divorce cases in the basic courts are not complicated and do not involve huge amounts of subject matter, so the trial organization this time is a single judge.

Ling Li sat on the right hand side of the judgment seat, looking at a judge wearing a moon-white shirt and a legal emblem on the table, and was still a little uncomfortable.

In the past year or so, almost all of the cases have been tried in the Intermediate Court or a court at or above the Intermediate Court, and most of the cases have been collegial panels, and they have to wear legal robes, and they have even seen a five-person collegial court, but she has not opened such a simple court as today for a long time.

But as soon as she turned her head and saw Wu Yi sitting opposite, she suddenly cheered up and didn't dare to be careless.

Ling Shuang felt her tense state in an instant, gently touched her arm, and asked softly, "Nervous?" ”

Ling Li quickly shook her head. She is a lawyer, and when asked by the client for such a basis, even if she knew that Sister Shuang was joking, she couldn't admit it.

Wu Yi's lawyer was replying, and the judge frowned when he heard the broken Mandarin, and suddenly there was a commotion at the door.

Then, Ling Li watched in amazement as seven or eight aunts and uncles poured into the small courtroom, and the seats were full for a while.

Before she could figure out what was going on, Ling Shuang grabbed her hand with a pale face: "Wu Yi brought someone here." ”

Sure enough, those viewers who suddenly appeared pointed in the direction of Ling Shuang, with disdain on their expressions.

Ling Li instantly realized, this scumbag actually came to the crowd tactics, trying to put pressure on them by relying on the number of people?

It's a pity that this behavior is too law-blind.

She observed that the one sitting on the bench was as surprised as she had just been, so she pleaded before the judge could speak: "Judge, this case is a divorce case, and it also involves the privacy of the parties, and I have already submitted an application for a closed hearing before the trial, so please invite unrelated people out of the courtroom." ”

Her voice was neither loud nor small, just enough to be heard throughout the courtroom.

As expected, her words provoked a commotion in the audience, most of them accusing her son, nephew and nephew of divorce, how could they become irrelevant people?

The gavel rang several times, and the auditorium finally fell silent.

The judge cleared his throat: "It was announced before the trial, this case is not heard in public, the defendant, is this your relative?" What's so good about running here and yelling? If you don't leave, I'll call the bailiff. ”

The lawyer on the other side obviously didn't expect to encounter this incident, and apologized profusely, and then asked Wu Yi to persuade his relatives to leave.

It's just that Wu Yi's mother glared at Ling Shuang fiercely before leaving the courtroom, and muttered: "Broken shoes!" ”

Ling Shuang's face became even more ugly. In the end, she overestimated her ability to bear it, and also underestimated Wu Yi's ability to muddy the waters, knowing that she hired Ling Li as a lawyer from the capital, so she moved this group of relatives to the court.

Although she didn't attend as he wished, the appearance of this group of people had already made her feel like someone had pinched her neck, and her chest was stuffy and she couldn't breathe.

Ling Li noticed that Ling Shuang's mood was suddenly depressed, and hurriedly comforted her: "Don't worry about other people, don't worry, I can handle it." ”

Ling Shuang looked at her for a few seconds, and saw that Ling Li's eyes were calm and comforting, and then she was a little relieved.

Silence had returned to the courtroom, but another twenty minutes had been wasted.

The opposing counsel continued his defense.

I don't know where Wu Yi hired the lawyer from, and the level probably stays at the kind of small law firm that is most despised by the regular big people who set up stalls around the court, that is, the kind that is jokingly called "squatting".

Ling Li was looking for such a firm at the beginning of her internship, and the level of lawyers was uneven, and the one sitting opposite them obviously belonged to the category of a little more evil.

This lawyer's practice standard is probably to accept the client's money, regardless of whether the lawsuit can be won or not, and that kind of thing has to be said.

He took the reply and talked at length about drowsiness, the content of which was nothing more than family harmony, internal problems in the family, the relationship between husband and wife that had not yet broken down, and the need to play traditional virtues or anything, and had nothing to do with the law.

Ling Li wanted to interrupt him when she heard this, and she had been looking forward to hearing the judge's favorite sentence on his lips, "A simple statement is enough."

The lawyer replied for half an hour, but he didn't say anything to stop him, and I don't know if it was because he was shocked by Wu Yi's rogue relatives just now, or if this kind of situation has long been commonplace in the grassroots courts.

It's easy to wait for the defense to be read, and you can start to present evidence.

Ling Li threw out several pieces of information, and explained the source of the evidence, the content of the evidence, and the purpose to be proved one by one.

Among them, there are several medical certificates of Ling Shuang, the police records after several police calls, and the records formed by the mediation of the police several times.

One of the heaviest is the medical report.

The lawyer was not unprepared, but it was mostly witness testimony - well, Ling Li used witnesses to testify and had to go to court for questioning, and all of them were invalidated at once.

Wu Yi didn't seem to be panicking, he thought he still had a killer feature.

Ling Li could have predicted which basket he put his eggs in.

Sure enough, at the end of the court investigation, Wu Yi finally mentioned that Ling Shuang was pregnant.

However, to Ling Li's expectations, the point he put forward was basically the same as what he said in the law firm last time - Ling Shuang was willing to give him a child, so the relationship between the husband and wife was not broken, and there was still the possibility of repair, so he asked the court to give him a chance.

In the end, he said that he hoped that the case would be resolved as soon as possible, his friend had found him a good-sounding job opportunity in other provinces, he was going to the coast, and if it was decided, he would not go home for a few years.

In other words, he may play missing, play procrastination.

This was nothing new to Ling Li, but Ling Shuang was still nervous.

And after the judge heard that Ling Shuang was pregnant, he really hesitated. Ling Li knows that the problem of children is the biggest problem in divorce cases, property and debts are easy to divide, but the matter of children is the most headache for judges.

If the defendant really leaves, the trial can be absent, but the problem is that there are many problems with the service of the announcement, and it is easy for the parties to make a fuss, resulting in a retrial.

The judge pondered for a while, moved his lips, and asked Ling Li, "Does the plaintiff have any additional opinions?" ”

Ling Li shook her head: "No." ”

The judge's gaze shifted to Ling Shuang again: "According to the regulations, marriage cases must be mediated before they are decided. Are the parties willing to mediate? ”

After that, he looked at Ling Li and waited for her to speak.

Ling Li pursed her lips and replied in a crisp voice: "Yes." ”

"Huh?" The judge's mouth was slightly open.

He had heard that the plaintiff's lawyer had insisted on not mediating since the case was filed, and was waiting for her to refuse to mediate, but he was waiting for a word of willingness.

Now judging from the evidence from all sides, there is probably a problem with the man, and the woman is pitiful, the problem is that there is an unborn child, which is difficult to do.

The case can be mediated, of course, with minimal risk.

He was stunned, and after coming back to his senses, he looked in Wu Yi's direction: "What about the defendant?" ”

The lawyer on that side quickly replied, "Yes." ”

Ling Li looked at Wu Yi with a faint smug look on his face, a little funny. This person really thinks that he is willing to mediate, that is, he is willing not to divorce?

Naive.

She crossed her head and Ling Shuang's gaze, nodded slightly, and looked at the trial seat again: "Judge, because there are some personal issues involved, we apply to negotiate with the defendant alone." ”

The judge was stunned: "Don't you need the court to preside over mediation?" ”

After getting Ling Li's answer, the judge was a little uneasy, and explained something like harmony and calmness, and announced: "You can first discuss whether to mediate the divorce, or accept mediation, and withdraw the lawsuit without divorce." Now you can leave the courtroom, and if the mediation is successful, or if the mediation cannot continue, you can return to the courtroom. Is half an hour enough? ”

Ling Li said apologetically: "Our client is pregnant, and just now I was scared by someone who came to the auditor without permission, she said that she had a little stomachache, and I am afraid that it is inconvenient to move around at this time." ”

After speaking, he complained in a low voice: "It's been a long time, it's the first time I've seen seven aunts and eight aunts watch the process of my divorce." ”

The judge frowned: "So serious? Let's get out then. ”

After speaking, he rang the gavel before Ling Li could speak, and called the clerk to stand outside the courtroom.

Before going out, he glanced back in Wu Yi's direction with some reproach, and seemed to be dissatisfied with being driven out to enjoy the hot air on a hot day.

Ling Li was secretly happy in her heart, this trick was really easy to quote.

Wu Yi couldn't wait, and as soon as the door of the courtroom closed, he was so proud that his voice rose at the end: "What? Figured it out? ”

Ling Li glanced at him and added slowly: "What we are willing to do is to mediate the divorce, and we haven't finished talking about it just now." ”

Seeing Wu Yi's face change, Ling Li said quietly: "Wu Yi, please ask the lawyer you invited to go out too, what I want to say next may not be too convenient for him to listen." ”

The lawyer on the other side stared at him and was about to argue, but Ling Li said lightly: "This colleague, you probably don't know what Wu Yi has done, there are some things that are inconvenient for you to know, and it is not good for you to know, otherwise once there is something that is not conducive to my client's reputation in today's conversation, it may be investigated with you at that time." ”

When the lawyer heard Ling Li say this, he couldn't help but look at Wu Yi, Wu Yi was looked at by him twice, and he couldn't hold back his anger: "What are you looking at?" What's there to see? ”

Ling Li already understood that the relationship between these two people was a superficial layer, one was a business picked up by a street stall, and the other was ready to play a scoundrel and never thought that he could really let the lawyer play the main force, and there was no trust relationship between them at all.

So Ling Li added to the fire: "I think, Mr. Wu, you probably didn't tell this lawyer about your marital rape and extortion, right?" In short, if the content involved in today's mediation is leaked, my client will definitely sue both of you at the same time. ”

A few minutes later, after some negotiation with Wu Yi, the lawyer's face became less calm, and he finally closed the door and left after some confusion.

Hearing the sound of the courtroom door closing, Ling Li's wildly beating heart finally slowly returned to its normal beating speed.

What she was most worried about was that the lawyer would not leave, but fortunately, Fang Cai's trickery was effective.

After that, without waiting for Wu Yi to speak, Ling Li got up, threw the cowhide bag prepared in advance to Wu Yi, and said lightly: "Take a look, after reading these materials, let's talk about mediating the divorce." ”
