Chapter 8 Application, Chen Ruhai of the Court of Appeal
Zhang Yi has already understood Alice's difficulties clearly.
And what is Alice doing?
She is working hard to write paperwork for an appeal.
"Tracy, why can't I pass my application, obviously I've worked so hard and written so seriously, I'm so depressed......"
At this moment, she fell into deep self-doubt.
"Miss, you just didn't find the right way, but I believe that with your efforts, you will succeed!"
Tracy stood respectfully behind Alice and said what Alice had heard many times.
One or two reassurances can help.
But if it's more than ten times, and each time it's about the same, then the comfort effect is not very effective.
At least when Alice heard this, her mouth pursed, and her heart did not fluctuate, so she could only continue to lower her head and write hard.
Tuk tuk!
There was a knock on the door.
"Who?"
"Boss, it's me, the ground has been swept and mopped."
"Oh, come in!"
Zhang Yi cautiously opened the door, and then was locked by Tracy's cold gaze, but his face was calm as usual.
A middle-aged old maid, what is there to be afraid of, he said that there is not much pressure.
"Boss, isn't it time for us to deal with your case next?"
"Uh-huh, yes."
Alice nodded, this was the purpose of her hiring Zhang Yi.
After all, he is the ace barrister who has served the legendary Zhang San.
"Then you can help me see if there are any problems with the appeal application materials I wrote."
Alice said, handing a pile of written materials to Zhang Yi.
"I'll take a look at the application materials......"
Zhang Yi took it and looked at it carefully.
Ten lines at a glance, quickly read the first page, followed by the second page, the third page......
And Alice saw Zhang Yizai carefully reading her report, her heart was slightly nervous, and her index fingers were crossed and rotated, like a primary school student who was randomly checked by the teacher.
After 5 minutes, Zhang Yi finished reading it, and it was word for word.
"How's that, how's that?"
Alice immediately came up, with excitement in her eyes: "I'll tell you, this is something that Miss Ben has worked hard to write for several days and nights, and I have prepared two days just to write the draft, and I have prepared five copies of different styles of subdrafts." ”
She said, her expression still a little excited and proud.
For a review of the material, she has been preparing for so long with all her heart, and it is absolutely foolproof.
Tear pull~
But a screeching sound interrupted her.
Then Alice saw that the document she had worked so hard to prepare was torn in half by Zhang Yi's bare hands.
Tear pull~
There was another sharp tear, and the document was reduced to four halves.
Tear pull, tear pull, tear pull~
This time it turned into shreds.
"You...... You, you, you......"
Seeing this scene, Alice was so frightened that she couldn't even speak.
"What kind of thing is this?,It's just this kind of material.,It's a ghost if you can pass it!"
And Zhang Yi's words are more like a stab in Alice's heart.
Poof, murderous!
Not only that, but after stabbing it, it also rotates 180° and wrenches your heart.
"Uh......"
Alice clutched her chest, gasping for air, showing her pain now.
"Dare to bully Miss, look for death!"
Tracey couldn't bear it anymore, Zhang Yi actually dared to commit a crime and ruin the success of his own young lady's hard work in the past few days, it's damned!
This man deserves to die!
Tracy didn't care whether Zhang Yi was from the law firm or not, she took a step forward with her left foot, and the whole person sprinted out, and her right hand turned into a sharp blade, stabbing Zhang Yi in the chest.
Since you want to punish Miss's heart, then she, as Alice's personal maid, must also punish your Zhang Yi's heart!
"Wait, I can help you pass the appeal!"
"Tracey, don't!"
But just as Tracy's right hand was about to hit Zhang Yi's chest, Zhang Yi shouted, which made Alice hurriedly speak out to stop her.
At this moment, the corners of Alice's eyes were red, obviously about to cry, but when she heard Zhang Yi say that she could help pass the appeal, she could only endure the heartache and clean up her mood.
"You said you could help me, how? I've been preparing for so long, but I've been beaten back once before! ”
"That's because you didn't find the right way."
Zhang Yi shook his head, pointed to the pile of debris in front of him, and said disdainfully: "Your appeal materials, I looked left and right, up and down, and all I saw was asking the judge to consider the situation of the suspect and his family, and asking them to let you pass the retrial." ”
"You know, judges don't think about the victims' families, they have to face dozens or hundreds of suspects every day, and the families are lining up to plead with them, do you think they will open up to you alone?"
"That'......" Alice was a little speechless.
Because what Zhang Yi said seems to have some truth.
"If you want the appeal to pass, you have to find the loophole in the last trial!"
"But loopholes, which are so easy to find."
"Who said that this loophole must be real, all the judge needs is a reason."
Zhang Yi waved his hand, and his words were full of banter and calculation.
The loophole, he has found.
"This material, you have to rewrite it, and you can't be in a tone of begging the judge to approve it throughout, you have to be strong."
Zhang Yi said, took out a stack of A4 paper from the desk in the office, and handed it to Alice.
"Come, I say, you write, you have to write like this!"
Zhang Yi moistened his throat, and then began to command word by word.
Alice couldn't help it, so she picked up her pen and began to write.
In a short time, a completely different appeal application was completed.
"Is this application really okay?"
Looking at the tone of the application, as if to order the judge, Alice was a little incomprehensible.
"Why not?" Zhang Yi did not answer directly, but asked Alice rhetorically.
"But, the teacher taught us to play the emotional card, and said that the emotional card is the most effective."
Hearing this response, Zhang Yi sneered: "So, the teacher will only teach you this, because they can't do it themselves." ”
At the mention of the teacher, the corners of Zhang Yi's mouth showed disdain.
This is the difference between the theoretical school and the practical school.
Teachers, to put it bluntly, are professors with high degrees and strong theories, but if you let them go to actual combat, they themselves may be blinded.
Pragmatic lawyers, defense lawyers who have been in contact with hundreds or thousands of lawsuits, all have their own set of course of action, their own set of routines for dealing with suspects, judges, and prosecutors.
Naturally, they won't share this routine, because this is the guy they eat.
"Of course, just an application is naturally not very effective, we have to cooperate!"
Zhang Yi spoke again, and this time he smiled slightly and looked at Alice: "Who is the prosecutor in your case?" ”
"Prosecutor Ren Qianning of the Dongmen District Prosecutor's Office."
"Who, Ren Qianning ?!!!"
Hearing this name, a young girl instantly appeared in Zhang Yi's mind.
She is always behind her sister, timid, and makes people want to protect.
"By the way, we went to visit Prosecutor Ren's late sister that day, why are you there?"
"Ah, oh, you said I was going to visit my dad that day."
Zhang Yi said, scratching his head: "You are mistaken, my father's tomb is next door to Prosecutor Ren Qianrou, and they are next to each other." ”
Hearing this, Alice was speechless, and she wanted to blurt out a dirty word in her heart.
We thought you were Ren Qianrou's old friend, but it turned out that you went to sweep your father's grave that day.
But these don't matter anymore, anyway, Zhang Yi doesn't want to be paid, Alice can hire it, and there is no reason to regret it.
"Let me ask you, do you know anything about Prosecutor Ren Qianning?"
"Yes, because of this case, we have been dealing with each other for a long time."
Alice nodded, speaking with a hint of indignation.
After all, they are opponents in court, and it is also appropriate for both sides to look at each other unpleasantly.
However, in order to appeal the application, she licked her face outside the court to befriend Ren Qianning, but unfortunately failed.
"Yes, then please tell me everything when Ren Qianning and you got to know each other, remember to be meticulous and not miss any details!"
Seeing Zhang Yi's solemn expression, Alice wanted to say something, but she still held back.
She struggled to recall all the details, and then chatted with Zhang Yi.
This chat lasted more than an hour.
After 2 hours.
"It's time to eat!"
As Wang Momo shouted, Sun Dasheng and Zhu Tianpeng all stood up with a "rub".
Tian Xiaoying, the sister from the Laotian fast food restaurant next door, naturally came with food.
"Alice, Zhang Yi, let's eat~"
Wang Momo walked to the door of the office and knocked lightly on the door to remind the three people inside that it was time to eat.
"It's coming, it's coming~"
For eating, Zhang Yi is naturally interested.
I had been planning an appeal all morning, and I was starving.
Soon, the law firm friends gathered at the dining table and began to feel the craftsmanship of Chef Tian next door.
"Speaking of which, boss, you don't eat with a knife and fork, do you?"
Zhang Yi saw that Alice actually used a silver knife and fork to eat.
"Lady, do I want to keep the lady understood?" Alice glanced at him with disdain.
The Nouvel family is a nobleman, and as the heir of the family, she must definitely maintain the glory of being a nobleman.
Of course, these should not be understood by Zhang Yi and others.
"Then in the afternoon, we will go to the appellate court to submit the materials, understand."
"Understood."
Hearing the conversation between Alice and Zhang Yi, Sun Dasheng and the others were slightly stunned.
"Isn't it, you're still going to appeal?"
Sun Dasheng and Zhu Tianpeng glanced at each other and took the lead in speaking.
"Yes, yes, I read the comments yesterday, and Mr. Luo said it was difficult~" Momo also shook her head, very unoptimistic.
After hearing this, Alice just waved her hand calmly, and her face was light: "Mr. Luo is a theoretician, this time we used the practical methods of ace barrister Zhang San, and the effect is different." ”
", lawyer Zhang San's practical methods!"
Sun Dasheng and Zhu Tianpeng glanced at each other, their eyes full of excitement.
"Really, the ace barrister's methods must be very powerful!"
Xiao Momo's eyes also flashed with little stars, and Li Mengluo, who was eating with his head down, also looked sideways.
Ace barrister!
It's just five words, but they don't dare to despise it.
Even if this lawyer Zhang San is not here, his name is enough to shock a newcomer.
Seeing his friends boasting about himself like this, Zhang Yi was a little embarrassed.
……
In the afternoon.
Appeals Division, Municipal Court of the Eastern City.
"Hello, we're here for Judge Chen from the Court of Appeal."
Alice found the court staff and told her mind directly.
"Is it the application for appeal?"
Naturally, the staff knew Alice.
Although Alice is a newcomer to the court, a white-haired beautiful girl will always make people unforgettable.
"Yes." Alice nodded, and then took Tracy and Zhang Yi into the city court, and found Judge Chen in the appellate division.
"Anyway, does Lawyer Zhang San recognize Judge Chen Ruhai?"
As she walked, Alice turned back to ask Zhang Yi.
"Old Chen, of course I know, Judge Chen Ruhai is as thoughtful as the sea, and he is famous."
Zhang Yi laughed and casually perfunctory.
However, he muttered in his heart, fortunately, the judge presiding over the appellate court this time was Chen Ruhai, and this product has a shortcoming, that is, he thinks too much about everything.
Soon, they arrived at Judge Chen Ruhai's office.
"Yo, Lawyer Du's daughter, here again?"
Seeing Alice, Chen Ruhai stroked his glasses and showed a solemn expression.
It's not that Alice has created pressure on him, but the identity of the other party's father makes him have to be more solemn.
Ace barrister, that's not something that ordinary judges can deal with, but fortunately, he Lao Chen is not an ordinary judge either.
"Judge Chen, we submit an application for appeal!"
After handing the appeal materials directly to Judge Chen, Alice politely stepped aside.
"Again?"
Lao Chen smiled, and then flipped through the materials in front of him.
Just at a glance, Lao Chen's face became solemn.
How does this taste feel wrong?
He had read a lot of appeals and materials, but none of them were as heavy as the one in front of him.
"This ......"
Lao Chen unconsciously grasped the materials with both hands, and then stared at the application in front of him.
Dignified!
The eyes are very solemn!
If he pressed the name of the originator of the application and erased the memory of Alice coming in, he would have thought that the application had been written by some powerful lawyer.
The language of this whole article is concise and capable, the purpose is clear, the content is concise and fluent, and the outstanding thing is three words, give it to me!
Unconsciously, a drop of sweat oozed from Judge Chen Ruhai's forehead.
How many years, almost three years, how long has it been since I encountered such an application?
Looking at Judge Chen Ruhai's solemn face, Alice also felt that her application seemed to have a completely different effect from before.
"Alice, the ......"
Zhang Yi leaned into her ear and whispered a reminder.
"Oh, yes, and this!"
Alice then took a large bag from Tracy's hand behind her, from which she took out a number of letters.
"These are all sent by Zhou Ping'an's hometown, and they are all written by the villagers of their village."
Throwing a thick stack of letters on Judge Chen's desk, Alice took out three letters and displayed them.
"This letter was written by the head of their village, and he said that Zhou Ping'an had been a good child since he was a child; This letter was written by the clan elder, and he said that Zhou Ping'an was something he grew up watching; There is also this one written by the mayor of the town, he said that Zhou Ping'an has always been an honest child in Zhoujia Village, and their children and Zhou Ping'an have played together since childhood, so he doesn't believe that Zhou Ping'an is a murderer, and these ......"
Alice began to introduce letter by letter, and Chen Ruhai suddenly had a big head when he saw so many letters.
"These are all ......"
There are hundreds of letters, not to mention that these people really know how to write.
"Yes......"
Alice nodded, and then said with a smile: "Listening to Zhou's mother, it is not ruled out that the people of Zhoujia Village will come together to support her son's trial, after all, the person who knows her son best must be the villager who grew up watching him grow up!" ”
"This ......"
Until this time, Lao Chen couldn't hear anywhere, this was a naked threat.
When I thought of a bunch of villagers holding banners saying "Zhou Ping'an is innocent", only the scene outside the appeal court, he was the first two big.
Moreover, lawyers are very fond of using the power of the media, and it cannot be ruled out that Alice will invite the media to launch public opinion attacks.
At that time, the pressure on the appellate court's side will come to him Chen Ruhai.
As soon as he thought of this, Chen Ruhai felt that the beautiful and lovely little girl in front of him had a cold heart under her smile.
Sure enough, Lawyer Du's daughter is not a fuel-efficient lamp!
This new application has already expressed threats, and even intends to let a group of countrymen come to the court to "make trouble" and create pressure on him, which is simply ......
Chen Ruhai's hands trembled a little.
He never expected that only a few days had passed, and a little girl he thought was a rookie would become so "vicious and vicious".
This kind of means can only be said to be spicy!
"Lawyer Xiao Du, I don't think it's going to be enough, those villagers came over, and the boat was tiring......"
"Judge Chen, don't get in the way, we just need to be responsible anyway!"
Alice directly interrupted Chen Ruhai's words, and also interrupted a trace of luck in Chen Ruhai's heart.
The implication of this is: you either let us pass, or you have to accept the pressure of public opinion, and you can do it yourself!
Ruthless enough!
Can Chen Ruhai compromise, of course he can't!
But it's a little inappropriate to resist by yourself, so you have to find someone to share the firepower!
If a random person comes and threatens him, he will have to compromise, so can he still be a judge in this appellate court?
"This matter, I have to discuss it with the prosecution, lawyer Xiao Du, don't worry, my side of my appeal application has agreed in principle, just wait for the prosecution's meaning, I will call Prosecutor Ren Qianning to come over, how about we have a short meeting." As for the villagers, you don't have to bother them to come over, everyone is quite busy, right? ”
Chen Ruhai thought about it a lot, and finally decided not to oppose it but also disagreed, and to center it.
As for what is agreed in principle, it is nothing more than a delaying tactic.
Anyway, in the end, I called the prosecution, if you can persuade the prosecution to agree to the retrial, then I will sign and agree, you can't convince it, then I'm sorry, it's because you can't do it, it's not that I don't give me a chance.
Sharing the pressure and distributing it to the prosecution, he can't resist it alone, this is Chen Ruhai's countermeasure.
And this reaction is right in Zhang Yi's arms!
Because in his expectation, Chen Ruhai will inevitably be unable to resist pressure by himself, and he will inevitably find someone to share the burden!
And Ren Qianning, as the prosecution, is the other party's only helper and excuse.
That's just right!
Anyway, if you want to be in office, it's better to hit the day than to choose a day!
