Lawyer's character

Chapter 407 Dark Circles

The gavel sounded again, and the presiding judge began to pronounce the verdict: "Now continue the trial and ask the bailiff to bring the appellant Li Myung-bak to the court.

The collegial panel has reached a verdict after deliberation in this case. In response to the opinions of both the prosecution and the defense, combined with the focus of the dispute in this case, and based on the facts and evidence of this case, this court made the following comments:

… This court believes that the appellant Lee Myung-bak’s act of giving the case evidence materials copied in the court to the relatives of the parties for inspection while serving as a defender does not constitute the crime of intentional disclosure of state secrets. Lee Myung-bak and his defender argued that the reason why it did not constitute a crime was established and accepted.

The basic facts identified in the original judgment were clear and the trial procedures were legal, but the application of the law was wrong and the judgment should be changed. In accordance with the provisions of Article 189, Item (2) and Article 162, Item (2) of the Criminal Procedure Law, the judgment is as follows: 1. The County People’s Court’s Xingchuzi No. 78 Criminal Judgment; 2. The appellant (defendant in the original trial) Li Mingbo is not guilty. "

When he heard the presiding judge declare that Li Myung-bak was not guilty of intentionally leaking state secrets, Fang Yi felt a stone in his heart finally fall to the ground. He looked at Li Ming-bak standing below and saw that the latter's tense face finally relaxed. Tears welled up in his eyes.

Lee Myung-bak felt as if he had been granted amnesty, and his body relaxed. He raised his head and tried to control the tears in his eyes to prevent them from flowing out.

After the verdict, there was a commotion in the auditorium, and everyone whispered to each other. It was obvious that everyone in the auditorium was very satisfied with the verdict. After the presiding judge announced the adjournment of the trial, applause burst out spontaneously in the auditorium.

Lee Myung-bak's daughter-in-law cried with joy. Son didn't know what to say, so he had to let her vent the panic and worry that had accumulated in his heart during this period.

After Fang Yi packed up the documents on the table, he walked over and patted Li Mingbo on the arm: "How about it, do you still want to be a lawyer?"

"Do it! What else can I do if I don't become a lawyer?" Li Mingbak said with a wry smile.

"Are you still handling criminal cases?" Fang Yi said with a smile.

Lee Myung-bak hesitated: "Let's rest for a while before we talk!"

Half a year later, Lee Myung-bak once again returned to his old business and started handling criminal cases, but he was more cautious than before. He would also call Fang Yi from time to time to discuss professional issues. This can be regarded as a lesson learned, of course. This is all for later.

As everyone walked out of the court gate, many local lawyers shook hands with Fang Yi and exchanged business cards, which showed that the local lawyers recognized Fang Yi's court performance very much.

Afterwards, Zhao Zhongcheng first took Li Mingbo, who had completed the formalities, to the local bathhouse to wash away all his troubles and bad luck. Fang Yi and others were led by Sun Zhengyi to a private room of a local restaurant, chatting while waiting for Lee Mingbo and Zhao Zhongcheng to return from the shower.

Everyone drank during this meal, from around one o'clock to around three o'clock in the afternoon. Li Mingbo was very drunk. Now he seemed to be reborn from a cocoon. Suddenly, he felt that the sky was blue and the clouds were white. The cold water was full of the smell of freedom. He was grateful to Fang Yi. If Fang Yi hadn't stopped him, he would have given Fang Yi a kiss.

Zhao Zhongcheng glanced at Fang Yi from time to time at the wine table, who was being toasted frequently by everyone, and was filled with emotion: Fang Yi is really not a thing in the pool. He can thrive in big places in the city, so he must have poor professional skills. No, luckily I woke up early and didn't continue to compete with him, otherwise I would have been extremely depressed if not angry to death.

Seeing that everyone was having a good time drinking, Sun Zhengyi decided to stay one more day, the law firm would reimburse the expenses, and return early the next morning.

A few days later in the morning, Fang Yi walked into the law firm with his briefcase. Seeing Huang Yuanchao busy, he asked with a smile: "Old Huang, you are busy enough! There is an old saying: gold, nine, silver, ten. It will be ten soon." It’s already the month of September, it seems you’ve made a lot of ‘gold’ this September!”

"Where did you get this ancient saying? The ancients also talked about 'gold, nine, silver and ten'?" Huang Yuanchao put down the case file in his hand, raised his head, showing a tired look on his face, pinched his Jingming point, and said with a smile.

“I don’t know if ‘Golden Nine, Silver Ten’ is an old saying, but October is also called Golden Autumn and October.

In the early agricultural societies, October was the harvest season. At this time, people had more money, so they were willing to spend money.

Nowadays, the October 1st holiday is also called the National Day Golden Week. Merchants offer discounts and people are willing to spend and consume. Naturally, the consumption amount will be significantly higher than in other months. This is the phenomenon of "Golden Nine and Silver Ten". "As the words fell, Ma Yi walked over with square steps.

"Lawyer Ma, have you been free lately?" Huang Yuanchao stretched himself and asked lazily, leaning on his chair.

"How did you know?" Ma Yi asked in surprise.

"The dark circles under your eyes are gone. You have taken good care of yourself. There must be no heart-to-heart talks or relationship consultations at night, so I guess your business is not very busy." Huang Yuanchao pretended to be serious.

"Okay, you guessed it right. I just concluded the last divorce case not long ago. I have been so tired during this period. I have to leave some time for my little Tingting." Ma Yi said proudly.

"The dark circles under her eyes are gone. Did Mei Xiaoting go to another province to work on a project again?" Fang Yi asked with a smile.

"No...why do you all make excuses for my dark circles? The most important thing is that you are so accurate. Did you two learn from the same master?" Ma Yi pretended to be surprised.

"Stop talking nonsense, is it because Jin Jiuyue is soft on making money, so he gave himself a holiday? Let's talk like a human being!"

Huang Yuanchao knew the guy in front of him very well. If he didn't have much income in September, he would definitely not be so arrogant. Looking at his rosy face and smooth skin, he must have gone to a high-end spa spa frequently.

After hearing what Huang Yuanchao said, Ma Yi stopped talking and just smiled.

"Old Huang, what kind of case have you taken on? There are so many case files?" Fang Yi asked when he saw the piles of case files on Huang Yuanchao's desk.

"Don't mention it. There is a P2P company that cannot withdraw money normally. Many investors want to sue the P2P company. You took it two days ago when you were on a business trip. The case is not complicated, but whether you can get the money back...it's hard to say!" Huang Yuanchao road.

After listening to Huang Yuanchao's words, Fang Yi suddenly thought of his ex-wife Cao Xiaohui. The company she worked for seemed to be a P2P company. Could it be that something happened to their company? But then I thought, it couldn't be that coincidental, so I didn't think much about it.

At this moment, Fang Yi's cell phone rang. It was Ouyang Jie. He was coming to the law firm soon. Fang Yizheng wanted to contact him to connect with him and ask him to introduce some big cases to him. Unexpectedly, Ouyang Jie came.

Fang Yi asked the paralegal upstairs for a tea room. Half an hour later, Ouyang Jie and Fang Yi sat in the tea room and drank tea.

"Is this tea okay?" Fang Yi said, adding more tea to Ouyang Jie.

"Yes, it is indeed a big law firm, and the tea tastes so good." Ouyang Jie said with a smile.
