Lawyer's character

"Aunt Zhang, is the chairman here?" Secretary Wu asked very politely when he saw the middle-aged woman at the door.

"Here, I'm waiting for you in the study on the second floor. Who is this?" Aunt Zhang looked up and down warily at Fang Yi, who looked mature and steady in a high-end suit.

"This is Lawyer Fang, the lawyer I recommended to the chairman." Secretary Wu replied.

"Oh, come with me." Aunt Zhang looked at Fang Yi again, then turned and walked upstairs.

Fang Yi and Secretary Wu followed closely behind.

After entering the villa, Yi took a quick look and found that the interior decoration of the villa was a bit traditional and elegant. It was not the kind of nouveau riche with rich money. It was obvious that the owner of the villa was very tasteful.

The study room upstairs is more than 30 square meters and is filled with all kinds of books, not just empty books that show pretense. Sitting on the rocking chair in front of the window was a woman who looked to be in her forties, but she actually had no idea how old she was.

This woman has short hair, regular features, and a majestic appearance, with a majestic look on her brows. She had a blanket on her legs and a thread-bound book in her hand, which she was reading attentively.

Aunt Zhang's knock on the door startled her. She put down the thread-bound book in her hand and looked at the door.

"Chairman, Secretary Wu is here." After Aunt Zhang finished speaking, she saw the woman on the rocking chair nodding her head, so she stepped aside and let Secretary Wu and Fang Yi in.

"Chairman, this is Lawyer Fang." Secretary Wu came closer like a pug and introduced.

"Lawyer Fang, please take a seat." The woman called the chairman bowed and looked Fang Yi up and down and said.

Afterwards, Aunt Zhang made Fang Yi and Secretary Wu each a cup of fragrant tea.

Fang Yi was sitting on the sofa nearby. He felt that the study was quite warm, but the woman in front of him gave him a sense of oppression. He had experienced this feeling when he first met the principal at school, but the sense of oppression today was worse than that time. Much more intense. Fang Yi didn't like this feeling very much.

Fang Yi looked at the woman on the chair and said, "Hello, what should I call you?"

"My name is Zhang Jun. They all call me Chairman. I have seen your introduction before. I have a doctorate in law, specializing in criminal law. I used to teach at a university..." Zhang Jun told Fang Yi's past resume.

Fang Yi was very surprised. What surprised him was not that the other party knew about his situation, but that the other party could directly memorize all his relevant situations. Moreover, the cases in the past two years were accurate. This alone was not something that ordinary people could do. Did it.

"Don't be surprised. I invited you here this time. Firstly, because you have performed very well in criminal matters in recent years. Secondly, because Secretary Wu said that you are an expert in local criminal cases. I asked someone to look at the cases you handled. You are indeed Very professional, not in vain.

To make a long story short, my son Hua Xiao's accident happened in this city. I hired a criminal lawyer from Beijing, but the case ended up being lost. Later, Secretary Wu suggested that I hire a local lawyer and recommended you to me.

I invite you to come here today because I want you to take a look at my son's case file and hear your thoughts. Of course, I will pay you a consulting fee. "Zhang Jun said expressionlessly.

"Well, are the case files here?" Fang Yi asked.

He knew that Secretary Wu asked him to come here just to look at the case files and analyze the case. It was a good thing to have consulting fees. If the case could be won through consultation, that would be even better.

Zhang Jun looked at Aunt Zhang and said, "Aunt Zhang, show the materials to Lawyer Fang."

Aunt Zhang agreed, turned around, took a file bag from the bookshelf, and handed it to Fang Yi.

After Fang Yi took the document bag and pulled out the materials inside, there was only a criminal verdict. He gave it a cursory look.

"Chairman, due to limited time, I only briefly read the criminal verdict, but I feel that there is something in it that is not very common sense, and I have not found any other problems for the time being." Fang Yi thought for a moment and said.

"Please continue!" Zhang Jun's eyes were startled, and he straightened up and said.

"The district court determined that your son Hua Xiao constituted the crime of rape, but the verdict stated that your son Hua Xiao had sex with the victim (the woman) in a back-to-back position, and in the corridor. From this point of view, the court's determination Some are illogical.

Judging from common sense in life, if men and women use this posture to have sex in the corridor, it will not be successful at all if they do not cooperate with each other. So the court found that your son Hua Xiao was guilty of rape, which I think is open to question.

Before seeing other case materials, I dare not say that the verdict of the first instance court was definitely wrong, but there is indeed reasonable doubt. "Fang Yi said.

Secretary Wu standing aside rolled his eyes, with a hint of joy in his eyes: Lawyer Fang really lived up to his reputation. Not only did he have solid professional knowledge, but he also had rich life experience!

Zhang Jun looked at Fang Yilai again with strange eyes: "Lawyer Fang, you are the second lawyer who has mentioned this matter to me so far."

"Oh?!" Fang Yi's eyes immediately showed curiosity.

"The lawyer in Beijing also mentioned to me before that he is an old lawyer in his fifties and is very famous in Beijing. However, the court did not accept his defense opinions.

Well, because time is tight, I can only give you one day, and I will ask Aunt Zhang to give you the case files of the first instance. Secretary Wu will pick you up early the morning after tomorrow. Let's talk again. If you have any questions, you can go to Secretary Wu directly. He will know the situation better. "Zhang Jun's tone left no room for doubt, and he didn't give others a chance to refute.

"Chairman, don't worry, I will definitely cooperate with Lawyer Fang's work to your satisfaction." Secretary Wu immediately expressed his position.

Secretary Wu and Fang Yi came downstairs, and when they were about to go out, Aunt Zhang came over carrying a cloth bag, which contained the case file materials of the first trial.

Before handing the case file to Fang Yi, Aunt Zhang skillfully took out a confidentiality agreement and placed it in front of Fang Yi. The meaning was very clear. The confidentiality agreement must be signed before taking the case file materials.

After signing the confidentiality agreement, Aunt Zhang gave Fang Yi a big red envelope and told him that this was today's consulting fee. Fang Yi pinched the red envelope and felt it should be about five thousand yuan.

"Lawyer Fang, I was really worried about you just now." After leaving the villa, Secretary Wu started the car and said.

"Oh? As long as it works, forget it if it doesn't. It's not like we will starve to death without this case, right?" Fang Yi said half-jokingly.

"Don't say that. As for that, it must be that!" Secretary Wu rolled up his sleeves and glanced at the Longines watch on his wrist: "It's already past three o'clock. I know a good Western restaurant. I'm treating you today. Tell me the relevant situation.”

"Okay." Fang Yi happened to want to hear it, so he agreed to Secretary Wu.

At around five o'clock in the evening, there were more pedestrians and more cars on the road. Fang Yi and Secretary Wu were sitting opposite each other in a Western restaurant on the roadside in a prosperous area of ​​the city.
