Chapter 71 Aging (1)

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

All he knew was that he seemed to have good luck with a crooked hit and met a trainee lawyer who exceeded everyone's expectations.

Before that, he had been trying to hypnotize himself, to convince himself not to have too much hope for the intern, not to put too much pressure on the young man, and to have caused him enough trouble, not to make it difficult for him.

He had already planned for the worst, but he didn't expect that there would be a time when his extravagant hopes would come true.

The judge knocked down the gavel with a solemn expression, and Chen Zhangcai suddenly woke up. When he raised his head, the jury members who had left the seat at some point had already filed in and returned to their seats with the result of their solemn discussion.

"All rise."

"Ladies and gentlemen, do you have an answer to the prosecution's accusation of intentional 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. Only then did he realize that he was shaking even breathing.

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

Of course, that was actually reminding him and the two bailiffs behind him that the handcuffs could be released.

But he thought that he would never forget this scene in his life.

After the trial, it was a familiar process. The assistant judge ran over with the pages of the trial records and asked the lawyers of both parties to sign on it. Bud looked very bad, with an expression like he had swallowed cat feces. Even when he came to sign, he covered his face with his other hand. don't know if it was because his head hurts a little bit, and his face hurts a little bit more.

He didn't even look at Yan Suizhi at all. After signing, he shoved the electronic pen into the assistant's hand, turned his head and left, almost trotting away from the courtroom.

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

Gu Yan: "..."

When the assistant judge came out of court, he instantly became lively, especially to save face, "How is it possible, the most beautiful people I have seen in court since my work are in front of me."

Yan Suizhi laughed, "Thank you."

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

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

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

Gu Yan coughed from the side.

"..."

Yan Suizhi made an emergency brake temporarily, turned a corner at the end of the horizontal line, and twisted the word "Ruan" back, that is, the ears of "Ruan" were twisted a little bit. He adjusted the structure of the two words according to the situation. With big ears, it's actually quite cool to sign.

I don't know, thought he always signed like this.

The assistant put away all the pages, smiled and nodded at them, sorted out all the court documents, and left the court together with the judge's heels.

Yan Suizhi said to Gu Yan at this time, "Cough earlier next time."

"..."

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

Outside the court, the two reporters of "Honeycomb", Benqi and Hussey, have been waiting on the street for a long time, but they are not the only two. There were reporters from several media lingering on the street outside the courthouse, but the Manson family's attitude of rejection was too obvious, so it was inconvenient for them to be exposed, so they could only come up with indirect information in a low-key manner.

"Did you see? You think I'm not right, that's not right-" Ben Qi raised his chin and swept around, "Luyin.com, Taikoo Toutiao, legal news, over there, over there and over there, They are all waiting to be filmed, so everyone is free? I’m with you—ah!!! Come out and come out!”

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

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

For him, the court trial is not allowed to watch or not to shoot, which is simply heart-wrenching.

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

Not only that, the expressions of the relevant people who came out of the court one after another were more exciting than the other, and several of them were chatting with each other in a very excited manner. But if you get close, you will definitely be blocked by the Manson family...

Bunqi splattered on the spot with the baby camera in his arms, and Hersey was taken aback for a moment.

"This kind of expression... Did the defendant win?" Ben Qi guessed, but denied it in a blink of an eye, "It's not that it's not, it's just a trainee lawyer. So what else happened in the court?"

He stared at Hersey for a few seconds, then clapped his hands and said, "Go block that intern, and investigate the trial without clapping?"

Hersey: "..."

It is said that eating a cut makes you wiser, so why does Ben Qi seem to have completely forgotten that the intern played him? Does the intern look like someone who answers questions obediently? What is the misunderstanding of Benqi...

After a few more minutes, Bunqi shouted like chicken blood: "Come, come, come! That intern!"

As he said that, he grabbed Hexi and ran to the big steps of the courthouse, but before he took two steps, he saw Yan Suizhi followed Gu Yan.

Yan Suizhi, who was going downstairs, swept his gaze, and happened to see Ben Qi running from a distance and Hexi with an embarrassed expression. He tilted his head in a funny way and said to Gu Yan, "Those two reporters who are a little bit annoying. here we go again……"

"Already run away." Gu Yan said.

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

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

"I'm done, why can't the barrister stay away!" When he ran to the corner of the street, the wizard muttered angrily, "I can't be bothered. He hugged his camera tightly.

Hersey: "..."

Seems to be wiser.

Due to 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 suspect 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 at Tianqin Star for a while, because the Southern Cross Law Firm's quarterly flattery meeting was coming again.

The so-called flattery meeting is that the Southern Cross Law Firm came forward to invite judges who have friendships and who will soon have friendships to participate in the banquet and reception, so that the barristers in the firm can keep in touch with many judges on a regular basis, at least they have been drinking and touching. A cup of friendship.

In this way, the barristers in the law firm will be able to gain a little advantage in favorability when they encounter them in court in the future.

This kind of banquet and reception is held once a quarter, four times a year, not too much or not too little. It is just stuck in that degree, which can be close to the judges without crossing the line and causing the judges disgust.

This kind of dinner and wine party is dubbed internally as a flattering party.

In previous years, Gu Yan did not participate in this kind of flattery meeting, and his senior affairs officer did not want him to participate. After all, Gu Yan was not a person who could tell beautiful lies. Second, Gu Yan's strength in court debate did indeed give him a certain degree of willful space.

This time at the flattery meeting, Gu Yan still made excuses to stay away from Decama.

"We may have to wait here to take a look at the results of the case." Yan Suizhi told Miss Fitz like this.

Fitz has no surprise, "Don't explain, I know you don't want to go to a fart, and the results of the case, say the same as true."

Since she was clearly told, Yan Sui said frankly: "Yes, guessed right."

Fitz: "..."

In this way, the two were able to extend their time in Tianqin Star.

However, they just confirmed that they would live here for a few more days, and they received an invitation from Master Qiao. "Are you not in a hurry to go back? That's really good. I have been inconvenient to contact you because of the testimony of the case investigation. Now the ban is lifted, please drink? "

"Drink again?" Gu Yan asked

Before drinking and drinking Manson, the little master did not have a psychological shadow of the wine party, which was also great.

"Why? Don't want to drink? When you left Ababa last time, do you want to make me a meal?" Qiao said, the voice was a little lower, as if sighing, "honestly Manson This matter is a bit ... hey, don't mention this now, wait for the police to knock the evidence. In the end, how about drinking two cups? I am scattered by the way. "

The master of this words was a long string, and it was not a chance to refute.

Gu Yan thought about the arrangements for the past few days, and nodded, "Well."

"By the way, don't mind that I bring Ke Jin? I found that he seems to like your intern particularly." Qiao said a little frustrated. "After Manson, his state was a bit not good, I hope to follow you The intern can get a bit better. "

"Talk about two sentences?"

Qiao Qian laughed twice, "Help me ask your intern, talk a few words unilaterally."

"..."

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