Lawyer's character

"The defendant Yun Qi is your son?" Fang Yi asked after seeing a criminal verdict.

"Yes, I found a local lawyer before, but the court of first instance convicted my son of misappropriating funds and sentenced him to three years in prison. We plan to hire a lawyer to appeal." Yun Zhenxing said.

"Do you know the specific facts of the case?" Fang Yi asked, looking at the verdict.

"I don't know much about it. My son is the party secretary of the village. He rarely tells me what he does." Yun Zhenxing said.

"Well, how many days has it been since you got the verdict?" Fang Yi asked.

"It's been five days." Yun Zhenxing said.

"The appeal period is only ten days, starting from the day after you receive the criminal judgment. Have you filed an appeal?" Fang Yi was startled and asked hurriedly.

If the other party does not file an appeal, then there are only five days left for him. The appeal process must be started as soon as possible, otherwise the first-instance judgment will take effect.

"I have already mentioned it. It is an appeal written by the lawyer before for free. The last material is the appeal. The lawyer said there is little hope for a second trial, so I want to find another lawyer to defend my son." Yun Zhenxing said .

Fang Yi took out the appeal petition and took a look at it. The reason for the appeal was written simply, "The original sentence was too harsh." Although the writing was rough, it was enough to start the second instance procedure.

"Mr. Yun, judging from the existing materials, I have limited information about the case. I would like to meet with your son first, and then go to the court to review the case. If it is determined that there is a breakthrough in this case, I will talk to you about the entrustment. What do you think?" Fang Yi asked.

Fang Yike didn't dare to do everything. He took the money, but in the end it couldn't be done. Not only was his reputation ruined, but he also had to refund the money. He didn't want to offend Yunmei.

"No problem. When can you go to meet me?" Yun Zhenxing was anxious, wishing that he could sign the agreement today and ask Fang Yi to meet him in the afternoon.

"Let's go through the formalities today. I have made an appointment with the detention center and the court in the past two days and will go there. However, it will take some time to transfer the first-instance case files to the second-instance court. Don't worry, I will call you before I go there. The lawyer's fee is 10,000 Yuan. If the case is entrusted later, this fee can be included in the legal fees.

Of course, travel expenses have to be calculated separately, and it shouldn’t cost me much to drive there. "Fang Yi said.

"Okay, I'll arrange the meals. If you need accommodation, just tell me and I'll book a hotel for you." Yun Zhenxing nodded and said, "Can I sign the contract now?"

Yun Zhenxing agreed to Fang Yi's request so readily out of his trust in Yun Mei. In his opinion, Yunmei makes a lot of money by opening a company outside. She knows a lot of people and they are relatively reliable. She must know a lot of reliable lawyers. Since his niece recommends the middle-aged male lawyer in front of her, it means that this person can be letter.

Half an hour later, Zhou Ying took the signed entrustment procedures and followed Fang Yi to see Yun Zhenxing and Yun Mei off. After sending Yunmei away, Fang Yi began to contact the court of second instance and the detention center to make an appointment.

Driving back and forth across provinces is not an easy job. If you can get it done in one trip, it's better not to make two trips. This is Fang Yi's real thought, so he first called the second instance court to check the transfer status of the case files. If it takes too long, he doesn't mind going to the detention center to meet him first.

Three days later, in a detention center in a small county below YQ City in Shanxi Province, Fang Yi looked across at the short-haired man wearing a detention center vest. This man was Yun Qi, Yun Mei's brother and son of Yun Zhenxing.

Yun Qi is tall and burly, with a fat belly, like a pregnant woman who is five or six months pregnant. Even though he was imprisoned in the detention center, Fang Yi could still feel a domineering aura from him. One look at his face and he knew that he was not someone easy to talk to.

"Are you Yun Qi?" Fang Yi asked.

"Yes, who are you?" Yun Qi asked.

Fang Yi took out the entrustment form from his briefcase and handed it over: "I am lawyer Fang Yi from Wanhua United Law Firm. Do you know Yun Zhenxing?"

"Well, his is my dad." Yun Qi said.

"Yun Zhenxing entrusted me to meet with him. This is the entrustment procedure. If you have no objection, please sign." Fang Yi said.

"You are a lawyer from Ji Province. Did my father find you?" After Yun Qi signed, he handed the entrustment formalities back and looked at Fang Yi in confusion.

"Yunmei asked me first, and then I made the entrustment after meeting your father." Fang Yi explained.

"Well, after so many years... I didn't expect that she would help me." Yun Qi was silent for a moment and said: "This is all a matter for the older generation, and it should be over long ago. Lawyer Fang, please help me bring her a Then, just say that I was wrong when I hit her father. I apologized to her! After I get out, I will go to her house to apologize."

"Okay, I'll bring it to you. We have limited time. Please tell us what happened. It won't be long before the second instance court arranges a hearing." Fang Yidao

"Well, this matter has to start from June 2010..." Yun Qi thought about it for a while and recounted the past events.

In 2010, Yun Qi was serving as the party secretary of the village. This was the most glorious time in his life. In June of that year, under his operation, the village committee transferred the wasteland in the village to Zhao Tingyu, who came to invest locally, for 250,000 yuan. After the village paid compensation to the villagers, the remaining amount was 153,000 yuan.

In January 2012, under Yun Qi's instructions, the village accountant invested 150,000 yuan in the proceeds from the above-mentioned transfer of wasteland into a small local coal mine in Yun Qi's name. At that time, Yun Qi was covering the sky with his hands in the village. Although some people in the village committee knew about his use of the money, no one dared to say anything.

In March 2013, Yun Qi received his first dividend of 10,000 yuan from a small coal mine. Originally, he wanted to continue to earn dividends, but the general election was about to take place, and he suddenly heard that someone wanted to punish him for embezzling public funds. Remove him from power.

So in October 2013, Yun Qi convened the village committee members and transferred his shares in the small coal mine to the village collective in the form of meeting minutes. However, he still failed to go through the procedures for changing the equity in an attempt to Muddle through.

Last year, on the eve of the general election, someone suddenly reported to the public security agency that Yun Qi had misappropriated village collective funds. After the public security agency completed the case, they sent people to the village to check the accounts. The village accountant provided the well-prepared accounts to the public security agency.

Yun Qi's misappropriation of funds was obvious to the lice on the bald man's head, but Yun Qi didn't expect it to come out so soon. He thought that he had given a lot of benefits to the village committee members, and everyone would turn a blind eye. But who knew that things happened to his most trusted village accountant.

After being detained for more than three months, the county court held a hearing on the case and finally found that Yun Qi had misappropriated funds and refused to return a relatively large amount, which constituted the crime of misappropriation of funds. The verdict was:

1. The defendant Yun Qi was convicted of misappropriating funds and was sentenced to three years in prison;

2. Order the defendant Yun Qi to return the embezzled collective funds of 150,000 yuan to the village collective, and shall perform it within 30 days after the judgment takes effect;

3. Defendant Yun Qi’s illegal income of 10,000 yuan shall be recovered in accordance with the law and turned over to the state treasury.
