Lawyer's character

"Hey! What a misfortune for our family!" Zhao Fengxiang sighed.

have to! As soon as he heard "the family is in trouble", Fang Yi knew that the person who was arrested was most likely the son or daughter of the old man in front of him, or other close relatives.

"It was my son Zhao Yun who committed the crime. In fact, I am not too clear about the specific situation. The case has been in the investigation stage before. When I came here today, I just received a notice that the case has been transferred to the Procuratorate.

You also know that although I have a "Practice Certificate for Grassroots Legal Service Workers", I cannot handle criminal cases, so I can only entrust a lawyer to handle my son's case.

I went to see a lawyer I knew before. The lawyer came back and said that my son conspired with another person to file a false lawsuit. My son was suspected of fabricating evidence and obstructing testimony. He will definitely be sentenced. I don’t know how long he will be in jail. Easy to say.

Not long ago, I was checking related cases on the Internet, and I happened to see the case in which your lawyer was arrested. By coincidence, a friend introduced Ouyang to me, and Ouyang said he knew you. So I thought of entrusting you to meet with my son again to see if he can plead not guilty in this case. " Zhao Fengxiang said.

"You want to entrust me to meet with you first to understand the case, and then discuss the subsequent defense services after the case is transferred to the court. Entrust me in stages, is that true?" Fang Yi asked.

"Yes, that's what I mean." Zhao Fengxiang nodded.

"No problem. The case is currently in the stage of review and prosecution by the procuratorate. The fee for a meeting with a lawyer at the detention center is 5,000 yuan. If I still need to go to the procuratorate to review the case, I will add another 5,000 yuan, for a total of 10,000 yuan. If you agree, you can sign the agreement and pay today. "Fang Yi said.

"Well, since I have entrusted you to oversee my son's case, it must be as comprehensive as possible, including review and interviews. I'm sorry to trouble you, but I will do as you say." Zhao Fengxiang said.

"Okay, please wait a moment, I'll ask the assistant to prepare." After Fang Yi finished speaking, he went downstairs.

Two days later, in the morning, Fang Yi went to the detention center.

Sitting opposite Fang Yi, Zhao Yun is in his thirties, has a short haircut, an obvious beer belly, a big face, and big, dull eyes. He is wearing a detention center vest and looks a little decadent. There is no demeanor like Zhao Yun, the famous general of the Three Kingdoms.

Why! What a waste of such a good name.

"Hello, I am lawyer Fang Yi from Wanhua United Law Firm. Do you know Zhao Fengxiang?" Fang Yi asked.

"I know, he is my dad. Did my dad ask you to come?" Zhao Yun raised his eyelids and looked at the middle-aged male lawyer in front of him with complicated eyes.

"Yes, Zhao Fengxiang entrusted me to meet with him. This is the entrustment procedure. Take a look at it. If you have no objection, just sign it." Fang Yi handed him the entrustment procedure.

"Wanhua United Law Firm is one of the top three law firms in the city. Your fees are not cheap, right?" Zhao Yun asked without looking up while signing.

"What you said is not accurate. Wanhua United Law Firm is not among the top three in the city. It has been the number one law firm in the province for the past three years." Fang Yi said calmly after taking over the entrustment procedures. .

Zhao Yun was startled, obviously not expecting that the middle-aged male lawyer opposite would speak in such a tone: "I am also in the legal circle, we are peers."

"Your father never mentioned it." Fang Yi picked up a pen and took notes and said, "Can you describe the incident?"

Fang Yi didn't have a very good impression of him. He always felt that he was a bit aloof. Although this aura was vague, Fang Yi still caught it.

As a legal worker, it is normal to deal with three religions and nine schools of thought, but if you are contaminated with too much of the three religions and nine schools of thought, you may have lost your conscience as a legal worker and become a man in gray. Although many lawyers are between black and white, they still retain a conscience. This is the bottom line of being a human being.

To be honest, Fang Yi doesn't like dealing with such people in his heart, but in order to make money, he has to do this.

"Okay! I used to be a legal worker at Changying Legal Services like my father. I have done a lot of cases before..." Zhao Yun was interrupted by Fang Yi in the middle of his words: "We have limited time. , please try your best to tell us something related to the case."

Zhao Yun nodded. Although he did not do criminal cases, he also knew that this was not a teahouse and he could chat as long as he wanted.

"I have a bad habit. I like to play with money. If I don't play with money for three days, my hands will itch.

In 2008, the year when the Beijing Olympics was held, I went to a friend's house to play cards in June and met Wei San'er, whose name was Wei Dayou and he was an old gambler. Later, when Wei Saner found out that he and I had the same hobbies, the two of us often played cards and drank together, and we had a good relationship.

Later, Wei Saner owed a lot of foreign debts because of his money-making, and he successively borrowed more than 190,000 yuan from me. Later, there was a period of time when I asked him for a bill, but I couldn't find anyone. When I called him, his phone was turned off, and he seemed to have disappeared from the world.

At the end of the year before last, I went to a friend's house to play cards again, and I happened to bump into him, so I cornered him in the room and demanded payment. He squatted on the ground and cried to me about his poverty. He said he hadn't eaten for a day and he still owed money to the bank.

I asked him why his phone was turned off, and he said that people from the bank kept calling him. He had abandoned his previous mobile phone number in order to avoid the bank collecting the debt. He did not avoid me on purpose. He really had no money.

I thought he was quite pitiful, so I took him to a small restaurant on the roadside to treat him to a meal, hoping to trick him..." Zhao Yun recounted the incident.

It turned out that Wei Saner owed a lot of gambling debt. In order to pay off the debt, in August 2012, Wei Saner applied for a credit card from a local rural cooperative bank with a credit limit of 20,000 yuan.

After that, Wei San'er demolished the east wall to pay for the west wall, used credit card overdrafts to withdraw cash and repay gambling debts. By July 2013, Wei San's credit card was overdrafted by more than 28,300 yuan, of which the principal amount was overdrafted. More than 19,700 yuan was collected by bank staff many times. Wei Saner had no money to repay the overdraft, so he played the trick of disappearing to avoid the bank's collection.

Looking at Wei San'er who was complaining while eating, Zhao Yun rolled his eyes and remembered that Wei San'er still had a house in the county. He had gone there once when the two of them called themselves brothers. Although it belonged to an old community, it should still be worth it. some money. So Zhao Yun asked about Wei Saner's house.

But Wei Saner told Zhao Yun with a grimace that the house had been sold according to the recently signed agreement. The buyer was one of his creditors and the house was used to pay off the debt. After a while, the other party would pay the difference between the house price and the principal and interest of the creditor. Give it to him, and then both parties go through the transfer process.
