199. The lawyer's mind

I only heard him change his tone and said: "However, even so, it is difficult to rule out a possibility, that is, Zhou Bing may have ordered a takeout order outside at some point in the afternoon and then took it home." Because there are a lot of two or three cups in the takeaway order, so it can't be ruled out. ”

Tang Jin looked at him with surprise when he heard this: "You are very good at case analysis, and indeed the points you mentioned may become the focus of the opposing lawyer's statement." The stupidest thing to do is to find all the owners of these orders, but not necessarily all of them have the time or the willingness to testify in court on Monday. But even without these witnesses, I am 70% sure of the case, and the video at noon can be used as direct evidence, making the plaintiff's confession less convincing. ”

I understand what Tang Jin means, in the courtroom, the first thing the judge looks at is direct evidence. Zhou Bing came to the store at noon to buy drinks as evidenced by the video, which is direct evidence, and this time point does not coincide with the time point when his wife and children were hospitalized for a sudden illness.

Even if he can argue that he ordered a drink in the store at a certain time in the afternoon, then he is first asked to present the take-out order, or the consumption bill purchased by the trustee, and if neither can be provided, then his confession will be greatly discounted in front of the judge.

But of course, there are two aspects to consider, what if he can provide an order or consumption slip, plus a non-conforming appraisal report from the Health Bureau? Tang Jin listened to my question, his face was not heavy, and he reminded calmly: "Children are the key." ”

We looked at each other and smiled, tacitly understanding what each other meant.

Zhou Liang came out of the house with a plate in his hand, which almost immediately attracted the attention of Mi Li. Mi Li didn't know Zhou Liang, and turned her head to look at me: "Mom, is that a chocolate cake?" ”

I shook my head at him, "You're coughing a little bit, you can't eat anything too sweet." ”

"It's not very sweet." Zhou Liang put down the plate, pushed it in front of the rice grains again, and coaxed: "I want to try it." ”

Mi Li took my hand, "Mom, can I eat it?" ”

In such a scene, several pairs of eyes looked at me, and they could only nod.

As if he had received amnesty, the rice immediately smiled, picked up the spoon and took a big bite and put it in his mouth. Since he got sick yesterday afternoon until now, he basically hasn't eaten much, and his appetite is very poor, and he is very satisfied with the desserts made by Zhou Liang at this time.

Later, Yang Jing also made two dishes and brought them up, and she sat on the other side of Zhou Yu, next to Tang Jin. And between me and Zhou Yu is a grain of rice, and on the other side is Zhou Liang. I didn't move, and the arrangement of this seat seemed a little delicate.

I don't know anything about cooking, and in my world there are only two kinds of food: good and bad. I have seen Zhou Liang's cooking skills, and I am sure that Yang Jing's cooking skills do not seem to be worse than his.

I didn't want to get involved in their conversations, but the topic always revolved around Mi Li, so I had to answer two sentences. That's it, Tang Jin's words suddenly turned the topic to me.

"Did Miss Jia work in the legal profession before?"

I was stunned, "Why do you think so?" ”

He smiled and said, "The cases I have taken on have come into contact with all kinds of people, including plaintiffs and defendants. The plaintiff is generally angry, and the defendant is mostly hesitant, and they have one thing in common, that is, they are not sure about the case, and they will expect me to give confidence. Even though you have only been in contact with yesterday for one day, you will find that you are different from them. ”

Zhou Yu also became interested when he heard this, and asked on the side: "What's the difference?" ”

"You don't have the anxiety of being a defendant, you watched the video to find out the direct evidence in your favor, and you didn't show much excitement, but you simply let go of the matter when the child got sick, which shows that you don't care too much about the outcome of the case."

When I heard this, I couldn't help but smile on my face. Lawyers are often perceived as eloquent and responsive, but lawyers still have to take a course, namely psychology. What kind of psychology does people's micro-expressions represent, this is the most advantageous weapon of a lawyer in the field. Tang Jin deserves to be the name of the capital, and he analyzed my words and deeds very thoroughly.

However, there are also things in the human psyche that are not analyzed.

It's like at this moment I shook my head at him and said, "It's not that I don't care, it's that things are important." I put a lot of effort into that tea shop, and as the owner, I can't possibly not care about its loss. But for me, there is no comparison between children and stores, and I can start a business without a store, but children are the whole focus of my life. This is one of them. ”

"The second is that I have been a lawyer many years ago, and I know what evidence is the most favorable and what evidence is the most unfavorable, so the result is actually in my mind for a long time, so naturally I don't show so much emotional turmoil."

Tang Jin smiled, "Sure enough, I guess you may be my companion." Ordinary people are not as calm as you, and they should have dealt with many cases before by communicating with you, but are you so gentle in court? ”

Poof-Zhou Liang, who was drinking tea next to him, suddenly squirted out, looked me up and down, and finally commented: "I don't see anything gentle." And Zhou Yu also echoed: "Lawyer Tang is afraid that he is clumsy." ”

Tang Jin smiled: "It seems that both of you have objections to my evaluation of Miss Jia." ”

I ignored the attitude of the two brothers and responded to Tang Jin: "It's only changed since I had a child, maybe I was a little sharp in court a few years ago." ”

"May I take the liberty of asking: Why didn't you become a lawyer later?"

The space suddenly quieted down, Zhou Liang no longer had a mocking face, and glanced at me intentionally or unintentionally, while Zhou Yu looked directly at me. It seems that everyone here is waiting for my answer, and I shouldn't have expressed my thoughts on such an occasion, but maybe the atmosphere has reached that point.

I flattened my expression and said softly, "Because I don't have the heart of a lawyer." ”

Tang Jin's eyes darkened, and he didn't continue to ask.

But Zhou Yu didn't know how to stop at the point, and interjected suspiciously: "What is the lawyer's mind?" ”

The person who answered was Yang Jing, who I didn't expect: "The lawyer's mind is probably confidence in this profession and whether he has any attachment. Jia Ru, am I guessing right? ”

I smiled, noncommittal. In my heart, I knew that she was right, I used to be ambitious, with the dream of becoming a prosecutor, and I was willing to work hard and be diligent for it. But this fire was gradually extinguished, and when he left, Xiao Dong was angry, the dean regretted, and my colleagues also felt embarrassed, but I understood that I could no longer be a lawyer at that time.

To put it bluntly, the lawyer industry must be free of distractions and strive towards the highest point. Once you are distracted or demoralized, you are no longer suitable for the industry.

When I left my job, I wanted to be by Mi Li's side and let my heart settle down.

Later, I met Allen by chance, which touched my heart, and then I had Bashan Night Rain.

I got up to say goodbye after eight o'clock, and Zhou Yu was about to get up but was stopped by Yang Jing, saying that he had something to look for him. At this time, Tang Jin proposed to go back to the hotel, and he could give us a ride by the way. Yang Jing sent us to the door apologetically, and kindly held my elbow and whispered: "These days, Zhou must have caused you a lot of trouble, and I blame me for identifying your drink, forcing him to talk about cooperation with you, if he has anything reckless, don't worry about him." ”

Needless to say, expressing three points can make the other party guess seven points. Yang Jing's speaking skills are undoubtedly full marks, she intends to show me her intimacy with Zhou Yu, and deliberately widens the distance between me and Zhou Yu, but by keeping this one away, people can understand the difference between me and her and Zhou Yu.

I wondered, what expression should I face her at this time? Anger, resentment? None of them seem to work for me.

In the end, I only looked at her with a smile and said, "I have nothing to worry about with him, but Zhou Liang's cooking skills seem to have regressed." ”

Yang Jing looked at me for two seconds, she blinked, then there was more smile in her eyes, and suddenly she leaned closer to my ear and asked, "How can you see that?" I gave her four words: "Out of the same family." ”

She chuckled and exchanged secrets with me: "That's what Zhou meant." ”

I turned around and smiled.

Walking out of the alley with Tang Jin, he smiled and said, "Your mood seems to be better than when you came." ”

Faced with a person who could catch even the slightest change in expression, I chose not to hide it and admitted: "It's really much better." ”

"Is it that the things that bothered you have been solved?"

I thought for a moment, "It's not a solution, it's that I understand something." ”

Tang Jin turned his head to look at me, "Jia Ru, you are a transparent person, it is indeed a pity not to be a lawyer." Think about coming to the capital? The prosecutor is just a false name, you come to my office, I will take you for a year, to ensure that you can become a name, and there are endless cases to fight you. ”

Being so appreciated by Tang Jin can be regarded as an affirmation of me, but I looked at the rice grains in my arms that were already tired and asleep, smiled and shook my head: "I have long lost my ambition here, and I have no motivation to dare to fight when I was young." ”

Now I am suitable for a casual and peaceful life.
