Lawyer's character

At 9:30 the next morning, as soon as Fang Yi arrived at the law firm, he received a call from Wu Meiqin. She was already downstairs.

In the conference room, a young woman with a slight build, medium height and good facial features looked at Fang Yi and Zhou Ying across from her in confusion.

"Ms. Wu, how did you know that your sister was arrested?" Fang Yi asked.

"My mother called me last night and told me that she had been detained for more than a week. My father hired a lawyer from the county to see my sister in the detention center. The lawyer applied for bail pending trial, but the Public Security Bureau did not approve it." Wu Meiqin looked at Fang Yidao eagerly.

"Why was your sister arrested? What crime?" Fang Yi asked.

"It's said to be a crime of kidnapping. My mother can't tell you the specific circumstances. Lawyer Fang, I heard Mr. Yun say that you are an expert in criminal matters. Previously, the county lawyer said that my sister might be sentenced to more than ten years..." Before she finished speaking, Wu Meiqin burst into tears and said intermittently: "My sister has just graduated and started working. She is definitely not that kind of person..."

"Don't worry! The matter hasn't been clarified yet, so it's not certain what the court will decide. Even if it really constitutes a crime of kidnapping, there are principal offenders and accomplices. Maybe your sister was coerced, that's not sure. "Fang Yi advised.

Wu Meiqin wiped her tears and nodded: "Lawyer Fang, can I entrust my sister's case to you?"

"No problem, okay." Fang Yi nodded.

"Look, how much legal fees should I pay you?" Wu Meiqin looked at Fang Yi sincerely.

"The lawyer's fee is 20,000 yuan, which lasts until the end of the first instance. If there is an appeal, the second instance will be charged separately." Fang Yi said.

In his opinion, Wu Meiqin is just a tea master. She works under Yunmei and only pays about 3,000 yuan for food and accommodation a month. She can't make much money in a year. The legal fees of 20,000 yuan are not low for her. .

"Okay, can you sign the contract now? I have my card." Wu Meiqin agreed immediately.

She had a good relationship with her sister. Because her family was poor, she wanted to work as soon as possible to make money. After graduating from junior high school, she went to a technical school directly and saved money to support her sister's education. As a result, her sister performed abnormally in the college entrance examination and only passed an ordinary college.

After graduating from junior college last year, Wu Meiqin's sister sent out her resume everywhere because the school was average and it was difficult to find a job, and she finally worked as a waitress in a hotel.

After completing the entrustment procedures, Wu Meiqin left the law firm, and Zhou Ying began to contact the detention center to meet.

In the afternoon of the next day, Fang Yi and Zhou Ying came to the detention center and met Wu Meiqin's sister Wu Meifeng.

Wu Meifeng looks very similar to her sister. She is slightly thinner, but more delicate. She looks like a college student who has not been beaten up by society. Wu Meifeng's face was haggard, her energy was very low, her eyes were a little swollen, she must have been crying.

"Wu Meifeng, do you still remember the situation when the crime occurred?" Fang Yi asked.

Wu Meifeng shook her head and looked at Fang Yi with dull eyes: "It was the boss who asked me to find that child, not me, not me..." She began to cry bitterly.

When Fang Yi saw it, he thought to himself: It's broken! She has a nervous breakdown!

"Lawyer Fang, how about I try?" Zhou Ying said softly.

Fang Yi nodded. Now that the person involved has collapsed, it will be useless to ask further questions. He can only treat the dead horse as a live doctor.

Fang Yi and Zhou Ying changed places. Zhou Ying did not rush to ask questions, but kept comforting her and brought the topic to her sister. After Wu Meifeng's mood stabilized, Fang Yi began to inquire about the case in a roundabout way.

More than twenty minutes later, Fang Yi and Zhou Ying walked out of the detention center.

"Lawyer Fang, what should we do? The information she can provide is very limited. She only said that the boss asked her to take the victim into the car, and then the hotel owner drove her and the victim to the basement of the hotel and tied up the victim." Zhou Ying said .

"Wu Meifeng's mental state is not good at the moment, and we can't see the case file. Let's wait until the case file reaches the Procuratorate. Let's go to the Procuratorate to review the file and then talk about it," Fang Yi said.

The person involved is currently emotionally unstable, unable to express clearly in language, and unable to accurately describe the case. Fang Yi has no choice but to review the papers before speaking.

On the way back to the law firm, Fang Yi suddenly received a call from Ouyang Jie, whom he had not seen for a long time. Ouyang Jie was going to bring a client to the law firm to consult him on legal issues and asked him if it was convenient. After making an appointment with him, Fang Yi hung up. Cut off the phone.

Ouyang Jie in the conference room is wearing a pair of rimless glasses and his hair is neatly combed. It has been confirmed that it is the most popular hairstyle nowadays. Teacher Tony probably put a lot of thought into it, and of course it is expensive.

Ouyang Jie, who has not seen him for a long time, is much more mature and steady than before. He has the energy of a senior professional all over his body. However, in the eyes of an expert like Fang Yi, his energy seems a bit artificial, but cheating is not legal. Enough people.

"Lawyer Fang, this is Mr. Jin Huapeng from the city next door. His son was arrested for intentional homicide. Let Mr. Jin tell you the specific situation." Ouyang Jie cleared his throat.

"Lawyer Fang, you are good at criminal cases and have rich experience in criminal matters. You are an expert, so I would like to consult with you about my son's case." Jin Huapeng said expectantly, his eyes full of exhaustion.

"I don't dare to be an 'expert'. When was your son arrested? Do you know the specific details of the case?" Fang Yi thought to himself: Experts have a bad reputation now, and I won't take the blame.

"My son Jinli was arrested in July last year..." Jin Huapeng recounted the case.

Jin Huapeng's son is Jin Li, who is studying at a university in this city. He dated a girlfriend at the beginning of last year. Later, they couldn't bear the loneliness and moved to a rented house off campus together.

In July, when school was on summer vacation, he did not go home and worked with his girlfriend in a supermarket in the city as a tally clerk.

On the day of the incident, he worked the night shift and his girlfriend worked the day shift. Jinli slept until after eight o'clock before getting up. After getting up, he heard movement in the corridor and looked through the peephole curiously.

I saw that the female resident opposite the door was in a hurry to go out and accidentally dropped her key on the ground. He saw that the female resident was well-dressed and thought that her family must be rich, so he became greedy.

Seeing no one around, he walked out of the house and picked up the key that the other party had lost. Then he secretly opened the security door on the opposite door, slipped in, and rummaged around for cash. But after searching for a long time, I only got more than 100 yuan in total.

While he was rummaging around indoors, he accidentally looked out through the window and saw that the female resident who had left before had returned on an electric bicycle and had arrived downstairs.

He was unwilling to find a large amount of cash. Seeing that there was only one person on the other side, Jin Li made up his mind to knock the other side out and then rob the property. So he unlocked the security door, took a large rolling pin and a sharp knife from the kitchen, hid them behind the door, and prepared to sap them.
