Chapter 77: Behind the Failed Defense

Although Zhao Qingdong has always emphasized the low-key handling of the Xiangbei incident, even the court session is not public. However, the trial results of the Xiangbei case still spread rapidly in the circle of friends.

Especially in the media circle of Bac Giang province, Xiang Bei has become a negative example, sounding the alarm for every practitioner.

Fat Dong and Luo Fangyi also learned the news one after another. It's just that the two have different channels to get news, Luo Fangyi is through his brother Luo Yuchen, and Fat Dong is through lawyer Wang Youqian.

"Lawyer Wang, this result is too ......" Fat Dong couldn't believe this result, and he was sentenced to four years in prison. At that time, he and Wang Youqian drank strong man wine like a death squad, but this kid actually gave such a result, Fat Dong wanted to scold him, but he still held back. The money was also given, and the wine was drunk. It's so out of the way!

"This result is not bad, if you are not satisfied, you can fight for it again in the second trial. Wang Youqian was not ambiguous and came back.

"Fight for the second trial? Then why am I looking for you in the first instance? You gave me a package ticket at that time, and you will definitely be able to fish out Brother Xiang. It's good now, send people in directly!" Fat Dong is like this, he was stunned, and his six relatives didn't recognize him.

"Fat Dong, it's boring for you to talk like this, no one wants to lose the lawsuit. But that's the case, what can I do? I have already told Xiang Bei that the second trial asked him to hire another master, and I can't do this work. ”

"Do you still want to do it? If you don't quit, I don't plan to use you anymore, there are so many lawyers in China, I don't believe I can't find a reliable one." ”

"Fat Dong, you kid speak to me politely, although you have a provincial platform cover, my Wang Youqian is not a fuel-efficient lamp. I won't say anything superfluous, I advise you, you are still young, don't be too arrogant. Otherwise, you will suffer a big loss if you are too arrogant. Hearing Xiang Bei's words come to this point, Wang Youqian has already completely torn the face relationship between the two.

"Damn, threaten me, I'm a hooligan in Fat Dong, you can still threaten me, I want you to see if I will suffer a big loss." When I soar, I will hire you as my legal adviser, and I will teach you how to be a qualified lawyer. Fat Dong is already fearless, there is no need to go around in circles and be polite with this kind of person, just put down the cruel words, he was just about to hang up the phone, and remembered something, "Also, you didn't give me a fucking sentence just now, those are two sentences!"

Fat Dong is still in danger, even if he is dizzy, he can still jump out of the other party's words, and he is worthy of the aura of a provincial reporter. Putting down the phone, he was angry, his good intentions had done bad things, how would he face Xiangbei in the future? How could he mix in the circle? Especially when he thought of the promise he had made in front of his goddess Luo Fangyi at that time, he felt even more depressed in his heart.

Fat Dong sat in the company office and pondered. After a cigarette, he made a decision, instead of letting Luo Fangyi come to the door to question him, it was better to take the initiative to explain and explain clearly.

As soon as he got through the phone, he heard the other party's impatient tone.

"Pan Dong, what's your situation? If I'm not mistaken, you found the lawyer for Master's case. Luo Fangyi's interrogative tone.

Fat Dong was speechless and responded with silence.

Luo Fangyi didn't care about the other party's reaction, and continued to ask: "Four years in prison." How so? I can't even think about it. Do you know that the newspaper is now crazy, and his topic has become a hot headline again. What do you say?

What do you say? What else is there to say when you get to this point? This is the first time in Fat Dong's history that he didn't want to answer Luo Fangyi's call, he leaned back in his chair and looked up to the sky and sighed. This time, I really shot myself in the foot.

"Fang Yi, isn't there a second trial, I'll find another way. Fat Dong finally spoke, he didn't want to explain more, he just wanted to make up for this failure. This person has one characteristic: he only looks forward and never looks back.

"Forget it, you can't be blamed entirely on this matter," Luo Fangyi's attitude finally eased, "I heard that this water is very deep. ”

"What do you mean by that?" Fat Dong didn't understand.

"Wang Youqian didn't tell you?"

"Say what?"

"How is the level of this lawyer?" Luo Fangyi asked rhetorically.

"The level is no problem, Jeonbac Giang Province cannot be said to be one of the best, but it is also outstanding. He was also named a Outstanding Lawyer in Bac Giang Province last year. "Fat Dong has interviewed him a few times and knows this person's situation very well.

"Don't you think he's behaved very well in this defense? ”

Hearing Luo Fangyi say this, Fat Dong thought about it carefully, it is true, in this lawsuit, he is like playing match-fixing, feeding the other party everywhere, what is the reason?

"Someone has been looking for him," Luo Fangyi explained, "I also heard the gossip that it is said that he is looking for a big person, but no one knows who it is." The other party put forward a condition for him, if he wants to eat in the lawyer circle of Bac Giang Province, he should get acquainted with each other and take into account the overall situation of Bac Giang and Ha Dong. ”

"Is there such a thing?" Fat Dong has been in the rivers and lakes for so many years, but he has never heard of this, and he can't help but feel surprised, "How do you know? Is this news reliable?"

"I naturally have my news channels," Luo Fangyi didn't want to reveal too much, "In a word, this time it's really a big trouble, and the master is more than lucky." ”

"Then do we save it or not?" Fat Dong still has some righteousness in his bones, if it was in ancient times, he might have robbed the law field like the heroes of Liangshan, but now it is a society governed by law, and you must believe in the law.

"Forget it, everything can only wait, maybe there will be a turnaround. ”

……

It has been a year since the sudden change in the family, and Zhou Xuecen seems to have slowly come out of the shadow of the loss of her son and her husband's imprisonment. She's busy every day, and although she doesn't know why she's so busy, she loves it.

In the past few days, in addition to being busy working and taking care of Felix, Zhou Xuecen has one more thing to worry about: preparing for the second trial. Hiring a lawyer and finding evidence costs money.

The last time he visited Xiangbei, he mentioned the bank card, and Zhou Xuecen kept remembering that she calculated the family's savings, and it was already stretched to maintain her daily expenses, let alone spend money on a good lawyer.

Women are weak, but they are strong for love......

After thinking about it for a long time, she finally made up her mind - to sell the house. After all, a large part of the family's expenses are on the house: monthly house payments, property fees, utility bills, etc. If you sell the house, you can not only save a lot of daily expenses, but also have the capital to fight a lawsuit.

made up her mind, Zhou Xuecen didn't discuss with Xiangbei, with her understanding of her husband, he would not agree to such a thing as selling a house. This is not difficult to understand, with all these years of hard work, a man has finally given his family a harbor to shelter from the wind and rain, and now he is going to lose it, and he is naturally reluctant to do so.

However, Zhou Xuecen has his own thoughts: If there are no people, what is the use of this harbor? This lawsuit must be fought. Since litigation is the top priority, everything else is secondary. So, she took advantage of the break to come to a real estate agency.

"Hello, are you renting or selling?" greeted a young female clerk.

"I want to sell the house. ”

When the business came, the female clerk was naturally very happy, she led Zhou Xuecen to the VIP reception room and poured her a cup of tea.

"Tell me about the property, and I'll give you an estimate. ”

"In the South Second Ring Road, Longjing Garden Community, the house has been bought for three or four years, how much do you think it can be hung?"

"What is the size of your house?"

"100 square meters. ”

"Is it a middle unit or a side unit, and what is the floor?" asked the female clerk carefully.

"It's a middle house, a high-rise. ”

"Wait a minute. The female clerk went to check the relevant information while memorizing.

Waiting for the clerk to estimate the price for a while, Zhou Xuecen glanced at the rows of rental and sale advertisements posted on the display board: "Boutique listing, European City, 3+2+1,133 square meters, two complete certificates, 2.8 million yuan!" "Splendid Mansion, hardcover certificates, 73 square meters, 1.6 million yuan!" is really dazzling, on each A4 paper-sized red billboard, the words "rent" and "sale" are very eye-catching, accounting for nearly half of the space.

In the past two years, the housing prices in Hedong City have risen rapidly like a rocket, and when she bought a house, the average price per square meter was more than 7,000 yuan, and now it has risen to more than 20,000 yuan.

For thousands of years, Chinese have continued a tradition that they have always had a great interest in buying real estate, and the more house prices rise, the more they want to buy. I don't think there is a second such nation in the world.

Zhou Xuecen suddenly remembered that Xiangbei was often proud of his wise decision to buy a house, showing off his foresight. But it's true, if you change it now, buying a house is definitely a luxury. After all, house prices are rising every year, and wages have never changed, which means that buying early is earning.

"Hello, Ms. Zhou, I've kept you waiting. ”

"Oh, it's okay, is it estimated?"

"I'll give you a rough estimate, of course, the specific price has to be seen on the spot. ”

"Well, how much. ”

"Look at it," the female clerk picked up the calculator and quickly typed it up, "It's about 1.6 million yuan in total, and the price per square meter is about 16,000 yuan." ”

"Why is it so low? I think it's basically more than 20,000 yuan now, and the average price should be about 2 million yuan!" Zhou Xuecen was a little surprised.

"You know, the real estate market right now is a market with no price. Moreover, the property market in Hedong City has a characteristic, which is called 'buying the east instead of buying the west, buying the north and not buying the south'. The east side is the government affairs center, the north side is the CBD, the price rises fast, and the house itself in the south rises slowly. This estimate is calculated based on the actual situation. However, this is just our estimate, and you can list it at your ideal price, but it can be difficult to sell. The female clerk looked very sincere.

Zhou Xuecen was silent for a while: "Give me 1.7 million to hang!"

"Would you like to go to your home and take a look at it before you do an assessment? ”

"No, I'm in a hurry to sell it, just at this price. ”

The price was negotiated, and Zhou Xuecen provided the real estate certificate and other materials, and the procedures were handled together. For now, money is like a fish saving water, and with this money, she can be more sure in this lawsuit. However, if the mortgage and some previous arrears and the intermediary's commission are deducted, the final amount that can be obtained may only be 670,000 yuan.

The matter of finding a lawyer also made Zhou Xuecen painstaking. Unlike the last time I looked for Wang Youqian, I was deeply in the pain of losing my son and couldn't extricate myself, and the lawsuit depended on Fat Dong's help. This time, Zhou Xuecen believes that he should not only find a reliable lawyer, but also hurry up to "recharge" and learn legal knowledge.

In the past, she and Xiangbei only knew that they were being framed every day, but they couldn't tell why they were wronged and what evidence they had. Now, in addition to finding a lawyer, they also have to learn to analyze the case file and defend themselves.

Soon, Zhou Xuecen found a law firm through her best friend Zhang Ke, and the firm's chief lawyer, Zhang Yueqing, was very enthusiastic, spent two or three days reading the case file and verdict, and readily agreed. Zhou Xuecen is also more confident.

"Lawyer Zhang, how sure do you think the second instance is?"

"Well, it's hard to say now, as far as the materials at hand are concerned, there are still loopholes in this. As long as we seize the loopholes, there is a chance to turn the tables. As for some details, I'll tell you when I've compiled some materials. Zhang Yueqing said.

"That's great. How do you calculate the lawyer's fees?" asked Zhou Xuezen.

"Well, you also know the difficulty of this case, losing the first instance is enough to prove that this is not a brisk job," Zhang Yueqing analyzed very carefully, the client is God, he wants God to understand that every penny he wants is justified and true, "This time I will formulate a new defense plan for you, and based on my years of experience, I will form a team of lawyers and go all out to win this lawsuit." ”

may be the reason why he is the most stupid, Zhou Xuecen admires this kind of eloquent person the most. Such a person, even if he can't get along in the legal profession, he will definitely be able to sell himself a good price if he goes to an Internet company such as Alibaba, JD.com, and Xiaomi, which is specifically responsible for "beating chicken blood" for everyone.

"You're bothered. As for the lawyer's fees, I will pay you to the highest standards. Zhou Xuecen was deeply impressed by the lessons of the first trial. Because of lack of money, she paid 15,000 yuan, the minimum standard for lawyers in Bac Giang Province.

Generally speaking, a lawyer usually has several cases in hand at the same time, and his energy is naturally low. In addition, after the lawyer gets the money, he has to share it with the firm, and then deduct the tax, and there is not much left to get it. Because of this, some lawyers take on the case and then look at the dishes. This time, in order to make the lawyer more motivated, Zhou Xuecen decided to triple the fee.

"It's easy to talk about money, mainly because I think this case is more interesting, and there are some details in it that can be scrutinized. In fact, for me, it is the most rewarding thing to be able to get the result of the first instance back in the second trial. ”
