Lawyer's character

"Lawyer Fang, this is what Ms. Cao asked me to hand over to you this morning." Li Mingbo handed a letter to Fang Yi.

Fang Yi glanced at the envelope. There was no word on it. He didn't open it and put it directly into the inner pocket of his down jacket. Then he asked, "What did the doctor say? Is there still hope?"

"It's already late. Ms. Cao should have known she had cancer before she was caught. She gave up treatment and accelerated the spread of cancer cells, which is why it happened so quickly... The doctor said it might only take a week or two." Lawyer Song said.

Fang Yi looked at the sky in the distance outside the window and recalled the past. He speculated that she might have known about his illness when she let Fang Anzhi live on campus.

More than half an hour later, the attending doctor came over and told everyone that the patient needed to rest and asked them to come back tomorrow. Everyone left the hospital. Fang Yi wanted to invite Lawyer Song and Li Mingbo to have a meal to express his gratitude, but they declined.

Tonight was destined to be a sleepless night. Fang Anzhi tossed and turned on the bed in the bedroom, tears pouring out as if he wanted no money.

After Fang Yi read Cao Xiaohui's letter in the study, he couldn't calm down for a long time. He smoked cigarettes one after another and the ashtray was already filled.

Fang Yi watched Cao Xiaohui step by step from the small finance of a bankrupt company in the county to today. She has been stubborn, worked hard, and showed off. In the end, I succumbed to work pressure and depression.

Everything is for money, to show off in front of everyone, and to give his son Fang Anzhi a better living environment. She does it for herself and her son.

What is the point to be alive? Is money really that important? Is it really that important to be superior to others? Fang Yi kept asking himself.

It’s not easy for people in this world. They work hard, work hard, and work hard again, and they are covered with scars. In the end, they harm themselves. What is the meaning of life... Maybe being confused is the best state.

A few days later, Zhou Ying told Fang Yi that there was a criminal case designated for him to handle, which was a murder case. Fang Yi met the client's wife in the conference room.

"Hello, Lawyer Fang." A plainly dressed woman in her forties stood up quickly in the conference room when Fang Yi came in.

"Hello, are you Ms. Feng Guifen?" Fang Yi sat opposite her.

"It's me." The other party looked a little cautious, his eyes flashing constantly.

"Were you present when the crime occurred?" Fang Yi asked.

"I wasn't there. I was working in the factory at the time. I didn't know until after the accident happened." Feng Guifen said with a bitter look on her face.

"Then do you know what happened?" Fang Yi asked.

“I heard from the police that my husband had a dispute with the other party because he was building a sidewalk between our two families, and then my husband beat the other party to death in a rage.

Lawyer Fang, our family has always been at odds with our neighbor. Our family members are all honest, and the other party often takes advantage of our family. There is a sidewalk between our two families. He raised the base of the wall outside his house so that when it rained, water would flow into our house along the sidewalk. We had many quarrels over this matter. I guess that's what it's for. "There were faint tears in Feng Guifen's eyes. She raised her hand and wiped her eyes with the back of her hand.

"Well, your husband's case is still with the public security bureau or the procuratorate. Do you know that?" Fang Yi asked.

"I heard that he has been sent to court. Lawyer Fang, will my husband be sentenced to death?" Feng Guifen couldn't help but ask.

"...How many people did he kill in total?" Fang Yi continued to ask without answering her directly.

"Four!" Feng Guifen said.

"Did your husband voluntarily surrender, or did he escape and be caught?" Fang Yi was shocked. Four lives were lost, and the case was unsolved.

"I asked a lawyer to go to the detention center to see my husband. The lawyer came back and said that my husband surrendered. I don't know the specific situation," Feng Guifen said.

"It's hard to say about sentencing right now. If there is a plot to surrender, I can try to see if I can save his life. I suggest the court impose a suspended death penalty, but I can't give you any guarantee." Fang Yi thought for a while.

"Thank you!" Feng Guifen said, wiping her tears.

After sending her away, Fang Yi just returned to his work station when his cell phone suddenly rang. It was his father Fang Youcai.

"Xiao Zhi...Xiao Zhi ran away!" Fang Youcai's urgent voice came from the mobile phone.

"Ah! Dad, don't worry, Xiaozhi is not young anymore, so he shouldn't be stupid. What exactly happened?" Fang Yi was even more anxious than his father and said with force.

"Just now Xiaozhi was drinking water from a cup, and suddenly the glass cracked without any warning. It fell to the ground and shattered. The water in the cup spilled all over Xiaozhi. He was stunned at that time.

Then his eyes burst into tears and he ran out of the house crying. He ignored me no matter how I called him. Fang Youcai said anxiously: "Go and find my grandson quickly. If your grandson is lost, don't come back." "

"Okay, I'll look for him right away." Fang Yi hung up the phone, suddenly realized something, picked up his down jacket and went straight downstairs. I took a taxi directly to the hospital.

When he came to Cao Xiaohui's ward, he heard people crying in the ward, including young and old. Fang Yi's heart skipped a beat, Cao Xiaohui was gone!

Cao's mother collapsed, and Mr. Cao was in poor health, so he took the quick-acting Jiuxin Pill to support Cao Xiaohui's funeral. Even if Cao Xiaohui was at fault, she helped her raise her son, and it was all her fault that Fang Anzhi studied so well. Fang Yi couldn't bear to watch Mr. Cao holding up his shaky body while arranging the funeral, so he discussed with him to arrange the funeral. To the county's one-stop funeral service company.

Mr. Cao nodded and agreed to Fang Yi's suggestion and entrusted him to help hire a funeral service company. Mr. Cao handed Fang Yi a bank card with a password on it, and told him not to be afraid of spending money. The Cao family was left with two old guys waiting to die. What's the use of having so much money when everyone is gone. You have to spend it, don't waste it.

This is the first time that Mr. Cao has been so "generous". In fact, it was not that he was generous, but that his daughter's death had touched him too much. He suddenly figured it out and felt that he had spent his whole life oppressing others for the sake of face, money, and superiority. He was too tired to live.

Fang Yi was busy, everything was in the eyes of Li Mingbo and others. Although he didn't say it, everyone knew in their hearts that Fang Yi was kind and righteous!

After Cao Xiaohui was buried, Fang Anzhi fell seriously ill. He had a high fever and kept talking nonsense. He lay in the hospital for more than a week before being discharged.

Fang Yi runs both the hospital and the law firm. He must take good care of his son and fulfill the obligations of a lawyer to his clients. Originally, he wanted to change a lawyer to handle Feng Guifen's husband's case, but the other party asked him to handle it by name, so Fang Yi had no choice but to continue.

In the detention center, Fang Yi met Feng Guifen's husband Gao Bo. Gao Bo was a strong-looking man with a simple and honest face. There was no emotion in his eyes. His front teeth are slightly protruding and conspicuous, like rabbit teeth. Perhaps because he had already avenged his death wish, he was not so nervous.

"Gao Bo, I am lawyer Fang Yi from Wanhua United Law Firm. Do you know Feng Guifen?" Fang Yi asked.

"We know her. She is my wife." Gao Bo said. His tone was very calm, and Fang Yi couldn't help but look at him more.

"Your lover has entrusted me to be your defense lawyer. This is the entrustment procedure. If you have no objection, just sign it." Fang Yi said and handed the entrustment procedure to him.

Gao Bo didn't even look at it. He signed it and gave it back to Fang Yi.

"I heard from your lover that there is a conflict between your family and the victim's family?" Fang Yi said.

"Well, their family members are quite domineering, and our family is honest, so we are always bullied by his family." Gao Bo nodded.

"What happened at that time? Why did you kill four people in a row?" Fang Yi asked.

"My family and Gao Ming (the victim)'s family are neighbors, but the relationship between our two families is not good. We often quarrel over trivial matters. The village has tried to adjust the situation, but to no avail..." Gao Bo recounted the case.

After summer last year, the victim, Gao Ming, took advantage of the fact that there was no one at Gao Bo's house, so he collected all the soil from the sidewalk between the two houses under the wall of his house, causing the rainwater to soak into the wall of Gao Bo's house when it rained.

After the autumn harvest last year, Gao Bo was alone at home in the afternoon and found that the courtyard wall was leaning a little. If it continued like this, the courtyard wall would definitely fall down. So Gao Bo took a hoe and repaired the sidewalk between the two houses.

Gao Ming's daughter-in-law, Zhao Juan, came out to pour out the dirty water. She heard a sound coming from the sidewalk and saw Gao Bo smoothing the sidewalk with a hoe. She immediately put down the bucket of dirty water, put her hands on her hips and drank Zhigaobo.

Then Gao Bo and Zhao Juan got into an argument. After hearing this, Gao Ming ran out and came to Gao Bo angrily, accusing him of destroying his courtyard wall and yelling at him to pay for it.

Gao Bo was stupid and couldn't talk to Gao Ming and his wife. Seeing that he was being bullied and couldn't talk to each other, he was furious. Gao Ming became even more proud when he saw this and kept humiliating Gao Bo until Gao Bo couldn't control his emotions and trembled all over. Gao Ming thought Gao Bo was scared, so he became even more aggressive.

Gao Bo stared at Gao Ming's face. The more he looked at him, the more he felt that his face was ugly and hateful. He suddenly picked up the hoe and hit Gao Ming on the head.

Gao Ming was feeling proud, but he didn't expect death to come in the next second. The hoe hit Gao Ming on the head, and Gao Ming was knocked to the ground.

When Zhao Juan saw her husband being beaten, she immediately stepped forward and pulled him away, fighting Gao Bo desperately. Gao Bo hit Zhao Juan again with the hoe. The hoe hit Zhao Juan on the shoulder, knocking her to the ground. At this time, Gao Bo's hatred for Gao Ming's family had reached its peak. When he saw Zhao Juan falling to the ground and screaming in pain, he picked up the hoe and hit Zhao Juan several times again until she stopped screaming.

Later, Gao Bo, who was still angry, broke into Gao Ming's house with a hoe. It happened that Gao Ming's father heard his daughter-in-law's screams, walked out of the room and walked quickly to the courtyard door, wanting to go outside to see what happened. What's going on? I'm facing a ferocious Gao Bo.

Without saying a word, Gao Bo went up and knocked the old man to the ground with a hoe. Then Gao Bo rushed into the house and smashed Gao Ming's eight-year-old son to death. Gao Bo, who had killed four people in a row, was now less angry and frightened, so he fled to his sister's house.

Villagers passed by the sidewalk of Gao's house and saw Gao Ming and Zhao Juan lying on the road covered in blood and not breathing, so they immediately called the police. The ambulance and police cars arrived soon after. After examination, it was found that all four members of Gao Ming's family were dead.

After Gao Bo fled to his sister's house, he surrendered to the local public security bureau under the persuasion of his sister and brother-in-law. The public security bureau then transferred Gao Bo's case to the procuratorate for intentional homicide. The procuratorate reviewed and prosecuted and transferred the case file to the Intermediate People's Court.

"Gao Bo, do you regret it?" Fang Yi asked.

"I don't regret it. If I don't do this, my family will be bullied by Gao Ming for the rest of their lives. My son will also be bullied by his family. I am one and his family has four. It's worth it! His family can no longer bully my family." Gao Bo said Although he spoke forcefully, Fang Yi saw tears in his eyes.

"Have you ever thought about calling the police to solve the problem?" Fang Yi asked.

"Is it useful? The police station came, but he (Gao Ming) is still like that." Gao Bo looked disdainful.

"Do you need me to help you bring a message to your wife and children?" Fang Yi asked.

"I'm sorry for the two of them. Let them live a good life and raise their children. Burn some paper for me on Qingming Festival. If my children go to college, I want to say it on my grave." Gao Bo said after a moment of silence.

The sentence hasn't been pronounced yet, Gao Bo first sentenced himself to death. In fact, this is not surprising. He killed four people in a row, both old and young. Even if the legal experts came, they could not save him. Gao Bo had already figured this out.

After hearing this, Fang Yi felt very complicated. It seemed that there was little hope for this case, so he could only give it a try.

"Have you ever thought about what people live for?" Fang Yi suddenly asked.

Gao Bo was stunned, thought for a moment, and shook his head: "I don't know. When I was a child, my family was poor, and I thought that having enough food and clothing was my biggest goal. Now that life is better, I don't know why. Just messing around."

When Fang Yi walked out of the detention center gate, Gao Bo's daughter-in-law Feng Guifen walked over quickly. At this time, the cold wind blew, making her face flush with cold. She put her hands in her sleeves and sniffed constantly. It seemed that she had been waiting outside the gate for a while.

"Lawyer Fang, how are you?" Feng Guifen asked.

Seeing her expectant eyes, Fang Yi felt mixed emotions: "Let's go to my car and talk."

Fang Yi started the car and turned on the heater. After a while, the car became warm.

"I have talked with your husband and he is fine. However, he killed four people in a row and the situation is not optimistic. You have to prepare for the worst." Fang Yi thought for a while and said.

After hearing what Fang Yi said, Feng Guifen immediately shed tears: "Lawyer Fang, I know you are an expert in criminal matters. Please think of something else."

"I'll give you an idea, you try it, but..." Fang Yi hesitated, he didn't want to irritate her anymore.

"Lawyer Fang, just say it directly. I don't want to leave any regrets, but I will give it a try if there is a glimmer of hope." Feng Guifen's tone was decisive.

"In this way, you go back to the village, write down how the victim Gao Ming's family bullied your family, and ask the village to give you a certificate. Then you submit the village's certificate to the court and prosecutors." Fang Yi said.

"Okay, I'll go right away." Feng Guifen said.

"In addition, is there anyone else in the victim Gao Ming's family? For example, his brother, sister or others." Fang Yi asked.

"There is no one else in his family. His wife's family does have many brothers and sisters." Feng Guifen said.

"What did his wife's family say? Can they issue a letter of understanding?" Fang Yi asked.

Feng Guifen shook her head: "His daughter-in-law Zhao Juan's mother-in-law's family came to me before and said they wanted me to pay 500,000 yuan. My family doesn't have that much money..."

Originally, Fang Yi wanted her to communicate with the victim's family and see if she could pay some money to get a letter of understanding, but now it seems that she should forget it. Five hundred thousand! A house in their county only costs 300,000 to 400,000 yuan. The price is too high. They can't sell the house and the land. How will they live in the future? The key is that even this may not be able to save Gao Bo. Fang Yi has to think about Gao Bo's family.

"In addition, your husband asked me to tell you to live a good life and raise your children... and burn some paper for him on Qingming Festival. If your children are admitted to college, I want to talk about it on the grave. It seems that your husband has already thought about it in his heart. We have a plan." Fang Yi didn't want to say the second half of the sentence, but he didn't want to lie to her...

After Feng Guifen listened, she shed tears silently for a while. She understood what her husband meant by saying this, nodded, got off the car, rode an electric bicycle and left.

Fang Yi looked at Feng Guifen's retreating figure in the cold wind and was silent for a long time.
