Lawyer's character

"This is a high-calcium tablet, imported. Now the elderly in the county and city are taking this to supplement calcium." Fang Yi said with a smile.

"This is quite expensive!" Fang Youcai squinted his eyes and took the calcium tablet bottle further away to look at it. He has some presbyopia.

"It's not expensive. If you feel good after eating it, I will buy it for you." If Fang Yi told him the true price of calcium tablets, Fang Youcai would definitely not let him buy them again.

"You don't make much money outside, so don't buy anything for me in the future. My body is tough." Fang Youcai said tough, but Fang Yi could see that his father's health has become worse than before in the past few years.

"When I entered the village, I saw the fifth grandfather in the east of the village carrying a bundle of vegetables and walking out of the village. I asked him what he was doing, and he said he was going home. What's wrong with my fifth grandfather? He doesn't live in the village anymore?" Fang Yi asked.

Fang Yi's family does not have a high seniority in the village. The fifth grandfather at the east end of the village is only one year older than Fang Youcai, but because of his seniority, Fang Yi has to call him grandpa.

This kind of thing is not uncommon in the village. In the past, Fang Yi often saw men in their forties or fifties calling their children grandpa.

But nowadays, people in the village don't care much about seniority. Driven by looking forward (money) in everything, whoever has money is the actual grandfather. Only some old people in the village still take seniority seriously.

"Hey, don't mention it. Your fifth grandfather has been working honestly all his life. As a result, his children have grown up and have families, but they can't tolerate him.

Either the eldest daughter-in-law kicked him out because she thought he smelled bad, or the second daughter-in-law thought he was too old to work in the fields and criticized him. The neighbors also saw honest people who couldn't hold back their anger and always bullied him.

A month ago, your fifth grandfather was vomiting again, and then he went to the village and said he wanted to live in the pump house next to the cemetery outside the village. There is indeed an old house next to the cemetery outside the village. It used to be a pump house. Later, the water pump inside broke down, so few people went there anymore.

People from the village committee also knew about the situation at his home. He had taken people to his home several times to persuade his son and daughter-in-law, but it didn't work at all. You also know that those old ladies in our village are the most difficult daughters-in-law of your fifth grandfather’s family.

Seeing that your fifth grandfather really couldn’t live in the house and the village had no other options, he agreed. In this way, your fifth grandfather lived in the pump house in the cemetery outside the village. "Fang Youcai said while smoking a dry cigarette.

"Then why doesn't he go to court to sue those unfilial sons? Let them pay living expenses every month." After hearing what his father said, Fang Yi felt angry and said.

"Hey! Every family has its own scriptures that are difficult to recite. Don't get involved in this matter, lest you get scolded.

Besides, what happens if the court decides? The court can control it for a while, and it can control your fifth grandfather's life. Besides, if the two sons are really arrested, the family will be broken up, and your fifth grandfather will not agree..." Fang Youcai sighed.

This is no longer possible! poor person must have something mean.

"Then if my fifth grandfather goes to live in the cemetery, he won't be afraid of being haunted at night?" Fang Yi asked after a moment.

"Afraid? In the words of your fifth grandfather: What is there to be afraid of? Ghosts are better than humans. At least ghosts won't bully him." Fang Youcai said.

Fang Yi was completely silent. Ghosts are better than people!

Du Jianjun's extortion case went to trial soon. Fang Yi walked into the Linxian court with the case file. The prosecutor sitting at the prosecutor's table opposite was Prosecutor Cai. Next to her was a young female prosecutor. Presumably an assistant prosecutor.

The judge presiding over the case was a middle-aged male judge with some gray hair. After completing the previous procedures, the judge banged the gavel: "We will now proceed with the court investigation and ask the prosecutor to read out the indictment."

"President, the prosecutor applied to withdraw the prosecution. This is the "Decision to Withdraw the Prosecution" we submitted." After speaking, Prosecutor Cai submitted the "Decision to Withdraw the Prosecution" to the judge.

"In view of the prosecutor's application to withdraw the prosecution, the court will now be adjourned for ten minutes. We will make a ruling later in accordance with the law. Take the defendant out of the court." After the presiding judge finished speaking, all members of the collegial panel exited the court.

Seeing that the judges did not show any surprised expressions, Fang Yi guessed that the procuratorate might have greeted the court before.

Du Xi in the auditorium waved to Fang Yi, and Fang Yi walked over.

"What's going on? With the prosecutor's office withdrawing the case, does that mean my dad can be acquitted?" Du Xi asked.

"There is a high probability that as long as the judge allows the withdrawal of the prosecution, it means that your father is not found guilty and can be released in court, but he may need to go back to the detention center to complete the procedures. However, the prerequisite is that the procuratorate does not change the prosecution." Fang Yidao.

"Oh, I hope everything goes well," Du Xi said.

Ten minutes later, the clerk asked all those participating in the trial to stand up, the collegial bench judge entered the court, and the presiding judge read out the ruling:

"...This court believes that the public prosecution agency's request to withdraw the prosecution complies with legal provisions. In accordance with the provisions of Article 242 of the "Interpretation of the Supreme People's Court on the Application of (Criminal Procedure Law of the People's Republic of China)", the court ruled to allow the County People's Procuratorate to Withdraw the prosecution.”

After Du Jianjun heard that the prosecutor had withdrawn the case, he did not show much excitement. Instead, he clamored to appeal and ask the court to clear his name. Fang Yi was surprised. He did not expect Du Jianjun to be like this.

After completing the formalities at the detention center, Du Xi took Du Jianjun out. The father and son thanked each other profusely.

Du Xi knew that this must be the result of Fang Yi going to the procuratorate to discuss the case and exchange opinions with the prosecutor responsible for handling the case. Otherwise, how could the procuratorate take the initiative to apply to withdraw the case.

"Lawyer Fang, please help me write an appeal. I want to appeal and let the court continue to hear my case. I can't let it be so unclear. I have been an upright farmer all my life, and I cannot be tainted by this case." Du Jianjun said angrily while sitting in his son's borrowed car.

"With all due respect, it's useless even if you appeal. The procuratorate's withdrawal of the case complies with the regulations. The court of second instance will only review the withdrawal of the case and will not hear your case." Fang Yi said helplessly.

"Then I want to give it a try. Just write one for me and I'll hand it in myself." Du Jianjun's attitude was very firm.

Seeing Du Jianjun's behavior, Du Xi had nothing to do. His father's ideas were always upright. As long as it was Du Jianjun's decision, even nine cows could not get it back.

Seeing Du Jianjun like this, Fang Yi had no choice but to nod in agreement. Du Xi originally planned to give him another amount of money to write an appeal letter, but Fang Yi didn't want it and sent him another appeal letter for free.

At noon, Du Xi invited Fang Yi to have a meal in the county. During this period, Du Jianjun drank a lot. After drinking too much, he opened his mouth and scolded Boss Nie for being a jerk. Du Xi could not persuade him no matter how hard he tried. Fortunately, it was not lunch time when they were eating. , there were relatively few diners in the hotel, and they were in private rooms, so they were not afraid of outsiders listening.

After dinner, Du Xi sent Fang Yi back to the law firm. Fang Yi took the ruling, wrote an appeal to Du Jianjun, and sent it to Du Xi. This case has been successfully concluded.
