First-Class Lawyer

In the dock, Chen Zhang felt that his breath had fallen into that deathly silence. He didn't know what happened after that, what the judge said, what kind of inquiries and final statements the lawyers of both sides made.

All he knew was that he seemed to be lucky enough to meet a trainee lawyer who exceeded everyone's expectations.

Before that, he had been trying to hypnotize himself, convincing himself not to have too much hope for the intern, not to put too much pressure on that young man, and he had already caused enough trouble for him, so don't embarrass him anymore.

He had already prepared for the worst, but he never thought that there would be a time when his wish would come true.

The judge knocked down the gavel solemnly, and Chen Zhangcai woke up suddenly.When he raised his head, the jury members who had left at some unknown time had already filed in and returned to their seats, bringing with them the results of their solemn discussions.

"All rise."

"Ladies and gentlemen, do you have an answer to the prosecution's accusation of murder against Mr. Chen Zhang? Guilty or not?"

"Not guilty."

At this point, Chen Zhang finally closed his eyes and let out a long breath.It wasn't until this moment that he realized that he was trembling even for breathing.

The trainee lawyer on the defense bench turned his head, smiled and nodded at him from a long distance and through the clear glass, like a gentle and free-spirited young gentleman.Even the judge, who was always sullen and never changed his expression, nodded to him before leaving the table.

Of course, that was actually a reminder that he and the two bailiffs behind him could uncuff the handcuffs.

But he thought, he might never forget this scene in his life.

After the trial, there was a familiar process. The judge's assistant ran over with the paper of the trial record document and asked the lawyers of both sides to sign it.Bud looked very bad, his expression looked like he had swallowed cat feces raw, and even when he came to sign, he covered his face with the other hand, not knowing whether his head hurt more or his face hurt more.

He didn't even meet Yan Suizhi's eyes. After signing, he stuffed the electronic pen into the assistant's hand, turned around, and almost left the court in a trot.

"I look so unsightly?" Yan Suizhi watched him disappear outside the door, then turned to ask Gu Yan.

Gu Yan: "..."

The judge's assistant immediately became lively when he got out of the court, and he gave a special face, "How is it possible, the best-looking people I have seen in court since I work are all in front of me."

Yan Suizhi laughed, "Thank you."

As he said that, he glanced at Gu Yan's puzzled and indifferent face, and joked to his assistant, "Thank you for him too."

The judge's assistant was happy, arranged the pages that needed to be signed in order in front of him, and handed him the electronic pen.

Yan Suizhi took the pen and raised his hand in a horizontal line.

Gu Yan coughed beside him.

"..."

Yan Suizhi suddenly braked suddenly, turned a corner at the end of the horizontal line, and forcibly turned back the character "Ruan", but the ears of "Ruan" were twisted a bit too big, so he adjusted the structure of the two characters to match the character "Ruan". With big ears, he signed it quite chicly.

Those who didn't know thought he always signed like this.

The assistant put away all the papers, smiled and nodded at them, then sorted out all the court documents, and left the courtroom following the judge's heels.

It was only at this time that Yan Suizhi said to Gu Yan, "Cough sooner next time."

"..."

As if it was someone else's fault that he almost made a typo, shame?

Outside the courthouse, the two reporters of "Honeycomb Network", Ben Qi and Hussey, had been squatting on the side of the street for a long time, but they were actually not the only two of them.There were several media reporters wandering on the street outside the courthouse, but the Manson family's repulsive attitude was too obvious, so it was inconvenient for them to make a fuss overtly, so they could only gather some indirect information in a low-key manner.

"See? You think I'm wrong all day long, that's wrong—" Ben Qi raised his chin and scanned around, "Green shade.com, Taigu Toutiao, Legal News, over there, over there and over there, They are all waiting to be filmed, so everyone is free? You and I—hey!!! Come out, come out!"

He was about to take the opportunity to teach the idealistic young man Hussey a lesson in realism when he saw Brewer Manson hurried down the big steps in front of the court with his assistants and subordinates.

"Oh, that expression..." Ben Qi took a few photos of Jiao Jiao, and couldn't help sighing, "Look at Brewer Manson's expression, did he just see a ghost or just drink pesticide? what happened?"

For him, whether he was allowed to watch or not to shoot in the court trial was simply a heart-wrenching exercise.

Especially now that Brewer Manson's appearance aroused his deep curiosity and desire to explore, but he couldn't find out any details.

Not only that, the relevant people who came out of the court one after another had more exciting expressions than the other, and several of them were whispering to each other in a particularly excited manner, talking so fast that they could not hear what they were saying if they were not too close.But if you get close, you will definitely be blocked by the Manson family...

Ben Qi splashed on the spot with his baby camera in his arms, and Hersey was taken aback for a while.

"This kind of expression... Could it be that the defendant has won?" Ben Qi guessed, but in a blink of an eye he denied it himself, "It's not that it's not, it's just a trainee lawyer. So did something else happen in court?"

He stared at Hersey for a few seconds, clapped his hands and said, "Go block that intern, and check the court trial if you don't shoot randomly?"

Hersey: "..."

It is said that one learns one's wits, so why does Ben Qi seem to completely forget that intern played tricks on him?Does the intern look like someone who can answer questions obediently?What misunderstanding did Ben Qi have...

After a few more minutes, Ben Qi shouted like chicken blood: "Here he comes! That intern!"

As he said, he grabbed Hersey and ran towards the big steps of the court, but within two steps, he saw Yan Suizhi and followed Gu Yan.

Yan Suizhi, who was going downstairs, glanced at him, and happened to see Ben Qi running from afar, and Hersey, who had an embarrassed expression. He turned his head to Gu Yan with some amusement and said, "Those two obtrusive reporters, Mr. here we go again……"

"Already ran away." Gu Yan said.

"Huh?" Yan Suizhi questioned, turned his eyes to look over, and saw Ben Qi, who was about to go up the steps, looked at Gu Yan as if he had seen a ghost. He didn't even pause. Run away in the opposite direction.

Yan Suizhi: "...it's really promising."

"I'll be careless, that barrister doesn't leave every step!" Running to the corner of the street, Ben Qicai muttered angrily, "I can't be offended, let's go, let's take a fart." He hugged his camera tightly.

Hersey: "..."

It seems that he is still wise.

Because of Chen Zhang's acquittal and Yan Suizhi's words in court, George Manson's case has once again entered the stage of investigation and evidence collection to confirm the suspect, but now the most suspected one has become Zhao Zemu.

A lawyer cannot represent other people in the same case, so no matter how the George Manson case develops, it has nothing to do with Yan Suizhi.

However, he and Gu Yan still stayed in Tianqin for a while longer, because the quarterly sycophant meeting of the Southern Cross Law Firm was coming again.

The so-called sycophancy is when the Southern Cross Law Firm invites judges who have friendships and are about to have friendships to participate in dinners and receptions, so that the barristers in the firm can keep in touch with many judges on a regular basis, at least after drinking and talking. A cup of friendship.

In this way, the barristers in the law firm will also have an advantage in favorability when they meet them in court in the future.

Such dinners and receptions are held once a quarter in the Southern Cross, four times a year, not too many and not too few, just in that degree, so that we can get close to the judges without crossing the line and causing the judges disgusted.

This kind of dinner and wine party is jokingly called a flattering party internally.

In previous years, Gu Yan did not participate in this kind of flattering meeting, and his senior affairs officer did not want him to participate, after all, Gu Yan is not a person who can tell beautiful lies.The second is that Gu Yan's court defense strength did give him a certain degree of willfulness.

In this flattering meeting, Gu Yan still found an excuse to stay away from Decama.

"We may have to wait here to see the outcome of the case." Yan Suizhi said to Miss Fitz.

Fitz has already seen the strangeness, "Don't explain, I know you don't want to go to the flattery meeting, and return the result of the case, it's true."

Now that she pointed it out, Yan Suizhi said calmly: "Yes, I guessed right."

Fitz: "..."

In this way, the two were able to extend their stay on Lyra.

But just after they confirmed that they would stay here for a few more days, they received an invitation from Young Master Qiao, "You are not in a hurry to go back, are you? That's really great. It was not convenient for me to contact you because of the investigation and testimony of the case. Now that the ban is lifted, invite you to drink?"

"Drinking again?" Gu Yan asked

Before drinking and drinking Manson's matter, this young master has not yet had a psychological shadow on the drinking party, and he is also big-hearted.

"Why? Don't want to drink? When you left Yaba Island last time, you agreed to give me a drink?" Joe said, his voice lowered a little, as if he sighed, "To be honest, Manson This incident made me a little... well, forget it now, let’s wait for the police to confirm the evidence. Anyway, the day after tomorrow, Cherry Manor, how about a drink or two? I’ll take a break."

This talkative young master kept a long list of things, and he didn't give anyone a chance to refute.

Gu Yan thought for a while and thought that there are not many arrangements for the past few days anyway, so he nodded, "Yeah."

"By the way, don't you mind if I take Ke Jin with you? I found that he seems to like your intern very much." Joe said a little frustrated, "After the incident with Manson, he was in a bit of a bad state. A few interns chatting with you can make things better."

"Talk for a few words?"

Qiao laughed dryly, "Help me ask your intern to have a one-sided chat."

"..."

Gu Yan glanced at Yan Sui, nodded and agreed, "Okay."
