Lawyer's character

"I...I want to ask if you can be my brother's defense lawyer." Su Rongrong seemed a little cautious: "I heard Mr. Yun say that you are good at litigating criminal cases..."

"I can accept your entrustment, but I can't give you any guarantee." Fang Yi understood that Sun Rongrong's expectations must be very high, so before going through the entrustment procedures, it was necessary to lower her psychological expectations.

"Yes, I understand. Mr. Yun told me before." Rongrong Sun nodded and said, "What about the legal fees?"

She has been working since she graduated from high school. Yunmei is the most trustworthy boss she has ever met. Since Mr. Yun said that Lawyer Fang is trustworthy, it must be trustworthy. She felt that as long as the lawyer Fang in front of her agreed to take her case, her brother would have hope.

"Where is your brother being held? Is it the county detention center or in the city?" Fang Yi asked.

"It's in the county detention center. My dad asked the county lawyer to see my brother before. It is said that the case has now reached the procuratorate." Sun Rongrong said.

"What do your parents do?" Fang Yi asked.

"My parents are both honest farmers. My brother wanders around all day and does not do his job properly. So..." Sun Rongrong lowered her head.

She didn't know how much legal fees Fang Yi would need. She had saved some money by working frugally at a tea house in the past few years, but she didn't know if it would be enough, so she felt a little uneasy.

"Let's do this. I'll charge you 10,000 yuan in legal fees according to our law firm's minimum charging standard. What do you think?" Fang Yi asked.

He could tell that the financial situation of the Sun family was not very optimistic, but it should not meet the conditions for legal aid (even if she met the conditions, it is estimated that Sun Rongrong would not let a legal aid lawyer defend her brother, unless she really could not afford Fang Yi attorney’s fees). Fang Yi also came from the countryside and knew the sufferings of the villagers, but he was not a Holy Mother. The firm had income-generating requirements, and lawyers had costs in handling cases, so he quoted the lowest price.

"Okay, thank you, thank you, Lawyer Fang." Rongrong Sun said hurriedly with a grateful look on her face.

Her parents had previously inquired at several law firms in the county, and the legal fees ranged from 8,000 to 50,000 yuan. Sun Rongrong did not expect that Fang Yi would quote 10,000 yuan in legal fees.

After completing the entrustment procedures, Fang Yi asked Zhou Ying to contact the detention center about the meeting.

Rongrong Sun's hometown is a poor county in a remote mountainous area. Although it is labeled as a poor county, the people do not necessarily live on subsistence allowances. There are also some who drive cars and build two-story buildings, but there are only relatively few.

In the dilapidated detention center, Fang Yi looked at Sun Shengli opposite through the iron barrier. He was short in stature, with messy hair like a chicken coop, high cheekbones, deep eye sockets, and obvious black circles, probably due to his mental stress. I didn't sleep well at night.

"Sun Shengli, I am lawyer Fang Yi from Wanhua United Law Firm, and this is my assistant Zhou Ying. Do you know Sun Rongrong?" Fang Yi asked.

"I know, she is my sister." Sun Shengli said, rubbing his nose with the back of his hand.

"Your sister has entrusted us as your defense lawyer. Do you agree?" Fang Yi asked.

"Agree." Sun Shengli said.

In fact, no matter who was the defense lawyer, he agreed. According to his thinking, since his family didn't have much money, they would definitely find him the cheapest lawyer or not hire a lawyer, but the two in front of him didn't look like lawyers from the county. It wasn't until Fang Yi mentioned Sun Rongrong that he realized that it must be the lawyer his sister paid for him from the city.

"Do you know the charges that the public security organs and the procuratorate have charged you with?" Fang Yi asked.

"I know, illegal business crime." Sun Shengli said.

"Do you agree with this crime?" Fang Yi asked.

"I haven't even graduated from elementary school, so I don't know if it's illegal or not. It's whatever people say. Anyway, I didn't steal or rob, so I just printed a few tickets..." Sun Shengli muttered.

"What? Printing notes? What kind of notes did you print?" Fang Yi was surprised. Did this guy print money?

But he thought again, no, no matter how bad the level of the local prosecutor's office was, it wouldn't be able to distinguish between the crime of illegal business operations and the crime of counterfeiting currency, which are serious crimes. Besides, can this guy in front of me have that kind of skill? Did you make a mistake?

Zhou Ying suddenly became excited, "Good guy, I didn't expect there to be such a big case here!"

Sun Shengli saw something strange in Fang Yi's eyes and immediately explained: "It's not a big red ticket, it's a bath ticket, a bath ticket for the county hotel bathhouse."

Zhou Ying felt disappointed for a while, bath ticket! Can this thing also commit crimes?

"Oh! That's it! Please tell me in detail what happened." Fang Yi felt relieved.

"Our county is poor and there are few job opportunities. I followed the folks in the village to work outside. I worked hard for a year. Later, my boss refused to pay the debt and went to court to file a lawsuit but there was no evidence. I was so angry that I went back to the village to lie down. Yes, fooling around.

My family has no power or money. We only have a few acres of land. My parents have worked all their lives to make ends meet. I just thought about how I can make a fortune. When I get rich, I will also live in the presidential suite and travel around in the world..." Sun Shengli was daydreaming, looking forward to a future where he could squander freely.

"Tell me about the case. How did you get arrested?" Fang Yi ruthlessly pulled him out of his daydream.

At first, Fang Yi thought that his black circle was caused by being too stressed out and unable to sleep. But now it seems that is not the case. This guy must be fantasizing about good things every day, and he is so excited at night that he can't sleep with the panda eyes that appear.

"Don't worry, I have to explain all the causes and consequences before you understand.

At first I heard that the green notes from the beautiful country were valuable and used all over the world, so I thought about printing some myself, but I had never seen them, and no one in the county would recognize them after they were printed. Later I heard that the train tickets painted by college students at the Beijing Academy of Fine Arts looked like real ones, and they even used them.

I just remembered the bath tickets from the hotel in our county. As for the bathhouse in our county hotel, it is a good place. People usually go there with good living conditions. A ticket costs ten yuan, and there are various services after entering. As long as you have money, you can enjoy it in the county hotel in the city. . The most important thing is that I have seen bathing tickets. The cost of imitating them is not high, and everyone in the county recognizes them.

Later, I bought one for ten yuan and found an out-of-town printing factory online. I told them that I ran a bathhouse and wanted to cooperate with them to print some bathhouse tickets. Later, I sent the bath tickets over and showed them, and they made a batch of copies.

After getting the goods, I started selling bathing tickets secretly, but who would have thought that the scalpers in the county who were selling bathing tickets thought that I had disrupted their market and destroyed healthy competition, so they reported me. As a result, all the bath tickets were confiscated by the police, and I came in too. " Sun Shengli said.

"How many bath tickets have you printed in total?" Fang Yi asked.

"Not many, a total of 1,500." Sun Shengli asked, rolling his eyes.
