Lawyer's character

In Wanhua United Law Firm, Zhou Ying sat slumped in an office chair with a briefcase on the table, her eyes a little confused, confused and complicated.

The royal driver Wu Qinghui held the keys of the Grand Cherokee in his hand and sat on the chair. He glanced at Zhou Ying from time to time, trying to persuade her, but he didn't know how to speak.

"Lawyer Zhou, this is the case file you asked me to sort out. I took it upon myself to write a defense opinion based on the facts of the case. Please take a look. I hope it will be useful." Yu Wendong put the case file on Zhou Ying's desk with a sincere look.

"Okay, I'll take a look at it later." Zhou Ying replied in a low mood.

"What's wrong with you? Is the court session not going well?" Yu Wendong asked casually.

"Forget it, I went to the detention center today to meet an old man in his sixties who was arrested for robbery. Our lawyer Zhou is overflowing with sympathy." Wu Qinghui, who had washed off his oily hair, replied for Zhou Ying with a look of disapproval. One sentence.

"Go, let's go. What do you know?" Zhou Ying was unhappy and glanced sideways at him.

At this time, Meng Guangda and Du Yong were not here. Fang Yi took Yun Qiao to the court and had not returned yet. Only these three were left in the team's workstation.

Zhou Ying, Yun Qiao, Wu Qinghui and Yu Wendong are of similar age, and there are no barriers to communication, so they often chat together. In Yun Qiao's words, chatting is also a way to increase mutual understanding and is conducive to harmony within the team.

"You are still robbing someone when you are over sixty years old!" Yu Wendong said in surprise.

"Hey! Who can say otherwise? Not to mention that he is over 60 years old and has more than ten chronic diseases all over his body. A strong wind would have overthrown him. He is still trying to rob someone with a blunt kitchen knife.

When her daughter entrusted us, I thought the old man had a criminal record. But when I went to inquire today, I found out that he was a laid-off worker from a state-owned factory. Later, he started selling pancakes at a stall and abided by the law all his life.

A few years ago, my wife passed away, and my son married a daughter-in-law. She thought he was dirty and wouldn't let him live with her. The old man had to spend more than a thousand dollars on medicine every month. He couldn't live on that little pension. "Zhou Ying recounted.

"What about his daughter?" Yu Wendong asked.

"His daughter married in another province, and the family conditions are not very good. He couldn't take care of it at all. This time the old man was arrested, and his son said he had no money to hire a lawyer. It was his daughter who came here and spent 5,000 yuan to hire us," Zhou Ying explained. road.

“The old man is in such a condition that it’s hard to lift a kitchen knife, and he can’t rob anyone!

To be honest, if I caught up with someone with nimble legs and feet, I would have slipped away long ago, and I could still wait for him to grab me! Even if he pinched the neck and collar, they would be kicked over by him before he could even lift the kitchen knife.

Can this also be used to rob? I think it's pretty much the same as touching porcelain. "Wu Qinghui was surprised. It was obviously the first time he heard Zhou Ying describe the defendant's situation.

Yuwendong said nothing and listened quietly.

"Hey! The old man robbed a drunk man. The one who was robbed drank too much and was lying on the street. The old man went over with a kitchen knife. The one who was robbed thought he was going to toast him.

In the end, the old man spanked him seven or eight times. He was so tired that he sat on the ground with a kitchen knife on his neck. Only then did the man who was robbed realize what he was doing.

What is incredible is that the old man actually asked the person who was robbed to call the police without asking for money, and he waited for the police right there. The police didn't say anything when they came, threw the knife and surrendered, and they were very cooperative. "Zhou Ying said.

"Then what is he trying to do? He's not looking for fame or profit. He's just trying to step on a sewing machine. His old arms and legs can't even step on the sewing machine!" Wu Qinghui stared at him in confusion.

"You guessed it right, the old man still wants to go in.

When I met him in the detention center, he asked me how long his sentence would be. I said that his attitude of pleading guilty was good. Although it constituted a crime of robbery, since he surrendered and he didn't get any money, the sentence shouldn't be too harsh.

He asked me if I could be sentenced to more than ten years. I told him that it was unlikely and that he might be detained for three to five years. There was a high probability that the court would consider the actual situation and give him a lenient punishment.

At that time, he was quite disappointed. He said that he was heading for life imprisonment. "Zhou Ying said.

"No time limit? This old man is crazy!" Wu Qinghui stood up in shock.

"Well, this kind of case was mentioned when I was an intern at a small law firm. In fact, the defendant was helpless. The defendant in that case was an old man who was almost seventy years old. He was old and had no pension. His family The three sons are all married, but there is no one to support him. His wife has long since passed away, and medical treatment costs a lot of money every year.

After much deliberation, he saw the slogan for forest protection and fire prevention: Set fire to the mountain and sit in jail. So he set a fire on the mountain. Just like that he entered.

At that time, many people did not understand and thought that it was good for the elderly to eat, drink, dance and sing. However, in fact, only the elderly with high retirement wages could enjoy this kind of treatment. For those elderly people whose pension is not enough for medicine, or who have no pension, and no matter how unhappy their families are..., they are actually quite miserable.

The purpose of their crimes is simple, to make a living. Yu Wendong said with a serious face.

"For a meal?!" Mr. Wu was stunned.

"Yes, that's what the old man I met today meant. He didn't want to commit a crime, but he had no place to eat and no money for medical treatment.

For him, the main purpose of going in is to eat and see a doctor. Although there is no freedom inside, they are responsible for the food and can be taken to the hospital for treatment when sick.

After all, such people are a minority, but they do exist. Their psychology is distorted and distorted by real life. "Zhou Ying sighed.

Wu Qinghui had no worries about food and clothing since he was a child, so he couldn't understand what Zhou Ying and Yu Wendong were talking about. In his opinion, it was unreasonable for him to throw himself into it just to eat and see a doctor. But the irony is that there is such a thing situation occurs. As expected, the saying goes: The world is so big and full of wonders, there is nothing you can’t imagine, and there is nothing you can’t do.

Perhaps because he felt that the topic was too heavy, Wu Qinghui changed the topic: "Junior brother Yuwen, why do you encounter so many weird cases? Have you ever interned in a law firm before?"

"Well, in order to increase my social practice, I interned at several small law firms when I was a graduate student. Small law firms had all kinds of cases, but the quality of the cases was generally lower than that of our big law firms.

I was working as a paralegal at the time, and I was actually just a handyman. I had no contact with matters related to the case, but many bad things were left to me to deal with. In fact, I was the one who took the blame.

I will stand in the way of refunds, troubles, and all other situations, and deal with those that can be handled. Only those that cannot be handled and can't be avoided will be handed over to the lawyers in the firm. "Yu Wendong said with a bitter smile.

"So you have quite a lot of social practice. You have seen all kinds of faces!" Wu Qinghui joked.
