Lawyer's character

After Fang Yi drove out of the detention center, he went home directly. Ever since Fang Anzhi was discharged from the hospital, his grandfather Fang Youcai had been watching him, fearing that he would not be able to think about it.

When Fang Yi walked in, he found his father Fang Youcai taking a nap on the sofa, with advertisements playing on the TV.

"Back!" Fang Yi's sound of opening the door woke up Fang Youcai, and he stretched his waist and said.

"Dad, where is Xiaozhi?" Fang Yi glanced around the room and didn't see Fang Anzhi.

"In the small bedroom, after breakfast today, he said he wanted to make up for all the missed lessons. He entered the small bedroom and never came out." Fang Youcai said.

After saying that, he picked up the dry tobacco bag and was about to light a pot, but put it down again after looking at the snow-white wall.

"Dad, don't think too much, just smoke!" Fang Yi said when he saw his father acting like this.

"This house is so tightly sealed. I'm afraid that the smell of smoke will be too strong and affect Xiaozhi's study. I won't smoke anymore." Fang Youcai rolled up the dry cigarette and placed it on the coffee table.

"I'm going to see Xiaozhi." Fang Yi was still a little worried, so he came to the door quietly. Just as he was about to knock on the door, the door opened, and Fang Anzhi was standing at the door.

"Dad, it's almost noon, and I want to eat the braised pork made by grandpa." Fang Anzhi smiled, a little far-fetched.

"Okay, Grandpa will cook it for you. But..." Fang Youcai paused and said, "There is no pork belly at home!"

"I'm going to buy it now." Fang Yi was happy in his heart. His son's appetite showed that he was thinking about it.

"Let me go, how can you choose pork belly?" Fang Youcai finished speaking and walked towards the clothes rack at the door.

"I'll go with you. I'll also learn from grandpa how to choose pork belly." Fang Anzhi said and turned around to get his down jacket.

"Let's go together as a family of three." Seeing his son's eagerness to try, Fang Yi also became interested.

More than half an hour later, inside the supermarket. Fang Anzhi accompanied his grandfather to select high-quality pork belly at the meat counter. Fang Yi stood behind them, looking at the old and the young, and let out a sigh of relief. It seemed that he no longer had to worry about his son.

At lunch, Fang Anzhi ate three bowls. After finishing the meal, he helped clear away the dishes, and then Fang Anzhi solemnly announced that he would study hard from now on and aim to go to BJ Union Medical College!

Fang Anzhi will never forget his mother's painful expression before she died. His decision to study medicine was largely influenced by his mother.

Fang Youcai didn't speak for a long time. His grandson was ambitious. Although he had never been to Union Medical College, most people on earth knew that the famous BJ Union Medical College would be enough to boast about for half a year after returning to the village.

Fang Yi was very pleased. It didn't matter which university his son wanted to go to. Even if he went to Lanxiang Technical School to learn excavators, it didn't matter to him, as long as his son was healthy both physically and mentally!

After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Fang Youcai couldn't live anymore. According to him, the city was not as good as the village. It was noisy all day long and there was no place to go out for a walk. It was too frustrating. It's better to be in the village, where the air is fresh. If you have nothing to do, you can show the village committee the gate. When you're bored, go for a walk in the mountains, chat with old friends, and bask in the sun. That's how you live your life.

Fang Yi saw that his father had decided to leave, so he sent his father back to his hometown at the weekend. Fang Anzhi was about to start school, so he did not follow him.

The Gao Bo intentional homicide case finally came to trial, and the situation during the trial was one-sided.

Although Fang Yi argued hard and asked the court for a lighter punishment on the grounds of surrendering, the prosecutor believed that although defendant Gao Bo's murder case was caused by civil conflicts and he had the circumstances to surrender, he killed four people in a row, and the consequences and crime were particularly serious. , should be severely punished according to law, and it is recommended that the court sentenced him to death.

After the hearing, the court pronounced the verdict in court.

The collegial panel held that the defendant Gao Bo was unable to correctly handle neighborhood conflicts, and armed himself with weapons to intentionally and illegally deprive others of their lives. His behavior constituted intentional homicide.

Although this case was triggered by civil conflicts and Gao Bo had the circumstances to surrender, Gao Bo continuously killed four members of the victim's family. The circumstances were particularly egregious, the consequences and crime were particularly serious, and he should be severely punished according to law. Finally, the defendant Gao Bo was sentenced to death.

After the verdict, the defendant Gao Bo did not appeal. The Intermediate People's Court reported the case to the Supreme Court step by step. The Supreme People's Court conducted a death penalty review of the defendant Gao Bo in accordance with the law.

Before execution, Feng Guifen met Gao Bo for the last time. Before Gao Bo left, he told her to go home and take good care of her children, and kowtowed three times to the direction of her hometown.

On this day, when Fang Yi arrived at the law firm, Wan Kefa called him into the office.

"Xiao Fang, the partners' meeting has voted to approve your application for partnership. Once the procedures are completed, you will officially become a partner of Wanhua United Law Firm. You can go back and choose an independent office.

I suggest you choose the one next to me. Although the area is only about 15 square meters, it is sunny and should be enough for you. The most important thing is that the office rent is cheap. It is just a symbolic payment. It is 500 yuan a month and 6 months a year. Thousand yuan, other expenses will be borne by the team for you.

And it's very close to me, so I can come and have tea anytime. "Wan Kefa said with a smile.

The office rent of 500 yuan a month was cheaper than a parking space. Fang Yi knew as soon as he heard that Wan Kefa was not telling lies. The rent of this building is a little over three yuan per square meter, which is considered expensive in the city. In addition, there are water, electricity and property costs. The treatment given by Wankefa is indeed very good.

"Uh... isn't this lounge next to you just for you? Is this appropriate?" Fang Yi looked at the fat old man in confusion.

"Xiao Fang, you are so honest! We are all our own people. Let me tell you the truth. The two offices next to it are specially reserved by me for the promotion of lawyers in the team to partners. I just occupy them first. It’s just a trap.” Wan Kefa smiled.

Fang Yi felt that his smile was a bit vulgar and a bit of a thief.

"Then the rent will also be handed over to you?" Fang Yi was stunned for a moment and asked.

"The rent is paid to the firm, and the law firm will deduct it directly from your legal fees. It's only six thousand yuan a year, and it's a single room. Don't tell me you can't afford it! How about you switch with Ma Yi?" "Wanke Dharma.

"Ma Yi also mentioned a partner?" Fang Yi asked.

"He made more money than you last year, didn't you expect it? There are many divorces these days, and the property value involved in divorce cases is also high. Ma Yi handled more than 30 divorce cases last year, and several of them charged more than 500,000 yuan.

His office is much larger than yours, but the location is not as good as yours. Do you know why I can be the director? "Wan Kefa asked mysteriously.

Fang Yi shook his head in confusion. Isn't it because you have strong professional ability, wide connections, and are a founding partner?

"Because I occupy a good position. I asked someone to see this place. It will definitely bring good fortune. You must not get any luck next to me!"

Let me tell you, Ma Yi begged me for half a month, but I didn’t give it to him. Now it belongs to you! Wan Kefa said with a face that said, "You took advantage of me."

Good guy, I got an office and got the fortune of the director of a law firm, so I can take advantage of such a huge advantage.

"Thank you, thank you Lao Wan." Fang Yi smiled.

"Hey! That's right. You are still a lawyer on my team. Now that you are promoted to a partner, you will get more preferential treatment. Your commission ratio will remain unchanged. As a partner, you have to bear some team obligations and do it for me. Share some of the work. In the future, you should help everyone more with the team's criminal cases, and bring in new people by the way. My resources will also be tilted towards you.

I've asked someone to vacate the room for you. You can move there when you have time. "Wanke Dharma.

Fang Yi did not expect that he would become a partner of Wanhua United Law Firm in such a short time. Although he was only a third-level partner and still had a long way to go before becoming a first-level partner, this was a kind of Recognition is recognition of oneself by law firm partners. This greatly increased Fang Yi's confidence.

Maybe he really got Wan Kefa's fortune. The day after Fang Yi moved into his independent office, Yunmei called him and said that Mr. Meng, whom he had met before, was coming to the law firm to see him. After consulting on legal issues, Fang Yi arranged the interview at ten o'clock the next morning.

At this time, in a villa, Mr. Meng was sitting on the sofa in the living room, frowning, smoking the cigarettes one after another. Next to him, a richer-looking lady about the same age as him had a frown on her face and her eyes were like peaches from crying. She is Mr. Meng's wife.

"Lao Meng, have you found a lawyer about my brother? He is innocent." the lady said.

"I have asked Mr. Yun to make an appointment with Lawyer Fang. I will go over to discuss it tomorrow." Mr. Meng held a cigarette between his fingers and turned to look at the lady.

"Lawyer Fang? Are you reliable? Don't be like the lawyer you entrusted during the first trial, who just wants money and will leave the case alone after the lawsuit is over." The lady said.

"It's not your sister-in-law's fault. When I said I would help her find a lawyer, she insisted on finding one herself. But what happened? The lawyer did nothing in court except read from the script." Mr. Meng Feeling unhappy, he shouted angrily.

"It was her fault last time, but didn't she also want my brother to come out as soon as possible? How about the lawyer Fang introduced by Mr. Yun? Don't be another second-hand man." The lady said.

"Don't worry! Lawyer Fang has helped Mr. Yun handle several cases before, and he is quite famous. Moreover, I asked him to consult on Wang Liang and Zhao Peng's cases before. What he said was clear and logical, which was very different from the second trial verdict. . I feel quite reliable." Mr. Meng said.

This Mr. Meng is the tea business Mr. Meng who consulted Fang Yi about the false lawsuit issue at Yunwu Tea House. At that time, Yunmei wanted to invite him and Fang Yi to dinner, but suddenly a call from his home called him back.

The lady in front of her was the one who made the call. Her brother, Mr. Meng's brother-in-law, had been arrested. When she learned the news, she was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, so she called Mr. Meng back.

"Then the lawyer's fees..." The lady hesitated.

"You get what you pay for. I was reluctant to spend the money in the first trial, but ended up getting a hammer. Do you still want to do this in the second trial?"

After saying that, Mr. Meng glanced sideways at his wife: "Let me tell you, your brother has to pay for the lawyer, you can't pay for it. His family contracted the fruit trees in the village, and they didn't earn hundreds of thousands that year. But what about your mother and my mother-in-law? You should know that.

The three of them had enough to eat and drink, and they kept feasting on big fish and meat, but they were very picky about the old lady. "

"Hey, forget it, we are a family after all. Why don't we give the old lady a little more? Besides, the old lady is so old, she doesn't have much money to spend on food and clothing." The noble lady said.

"This is not a question of money, but a question of character. Let me tell you again, no matter how much the lawyer's fees are, we can't help him pay. Remember." Mr. Meng said solemnly.

"Okay, I listen to you. Find a more professional lawyer for my brother. I won't get involved in the lawyer's fees. That's all right, or I'll swear to you in front of a light bulb." Lady-like Xiaofei said with a smile.

"Don't, you'll blow out the light bulbs in our house again." Mr. Meng looked like I'd be surprised if I believed you.

At ten o'clock in the morning the next day, two men and a woman were sitting in the tea room of Wanhua United Law Firm. One of the two men was Fang Yi and the other was Mr. Meng.

That woman is not Yunmei, but the daughter-in-law of Mr. Meng's brother-in-law. Her surname is Jiang and her name is Jiang Xue. Jiang Xue is in her thirties and has some good looks. Although she works in orchards all year round, her skin is not dark, which may be related to her fair skin. After being exposed to the sun, her skin turns red and it takes only a few days to recover.

Yunmei felt that what was being discussed today was Mr. Meng's personal matter and it was not convenient for her to attend, so she did not come over.

"Mr. Meng, there are some problems with the first-instance judgment, but since I can't understand all the facts of the case, I can't make a judgment." Fang Yi returned the copy of the first-instance judgment to Mr. Meng.

When Jiang Xue heard what Fang Yi said, she felt uncertain and looked at her brother-in-law, Mr. Meng.

"Lawyer Fang, you said there is something wrong, but I don't know what it is?" Mr. Meng said.

"Judging from the content of the first-instance judgment, the facts determined by the court are unclear, the cause of defendant Dou Tao's beating behavior is very vague, and the ins and outs of the whole incident are not clear.

It is difficult to say whether the defendant Dou Tao constituted self-defense, but I feel it is possible. Fang Yi thought for a while and said.

Then Fang Yi looked at Jiang Xue: "Were you at the scene of the crime at that time?"

"I was at the scene. At that time, the village committee sent a group of people to the orchard and said they wanted to cut down my apple and peach trees. I stopped them, and the security guard pulled me aside, kicked and beat me. I squatted on the ground and was not allowed to get up.

When our Dou Tao saw me being bullied by the security guards, he rushed forward with a knife, scaring the security guards away and even injuring others. However, the man's injuries were not serious. Later, our Dou Tao went to see the other person at his home and paid for the medical expenses, but the other party said he would not pursue the case any further.

But later, for some unknown reason, the police took Dou Tao away, saying that he was guilty of seeking trouble and wanted to deal with him. Later, the court sentenced our Dou Tao to a suspended sentence. "After speaking, Jiang Xue looked at Fang Yi, waiting for him to speak.

"Well, if you put it that way, the cause of the matter is not you, but the village first sent people to cut down your fruit trees, which led to you being beaten by the security guards. Dou Tao injured the person in order to save you. Is that so?" Fang Yi said.

"Yes, that's probably what it means. I'm a stupid person, and sometimes I can't speak clearly." Jiang Xue nodded.

"Then why did the village cut down your fruit trees?" Fang Yi asked.

"I'm not sure about this. Our family, Dou Tao, has always been communicating with the village. It seems to be about contracting the orchard land." Jiang Xuedao.
