Even Liu Xiang himself was stunned, he had said such things before, and even begged bitterly, but no one believed his words, they just asked him to bear the consequences of this time, and to pursue the punishment, but he couldn't afford the consequences at all, as for the punishment, he didn't have the ability to pay any fine, which is why he asked after seeing Liu Xiaotian whether he would go to prison.

In his heart, he was already prepared to face the worst consequences.

And the tone of his previous speech was also full of grievances, more like sarcasm, he asked if you believe it, but he knew in his heart that no one would believe what he said.

Therefore, Liu Xiaotian's answer made him stunned.

"Do you really believe what I say?"

After a while, Liu Xiang asked rhetorically, Liu Xiaotian nodded again, I believe, he believed what Liu Xiang said, it was true.

First of all, if Liu Xiang sells fakes, he won't sell only this time, Liu Xiang is not selling particularly valuable items, just some household items, but the people who bought the goods this time bought so many in one go, if Liu Xiang was selling fakes for the first time, he wouldn't dare to sell so many at all.

If it wasn't the first time he sold it, he must have sold it many times before, and the profit of selling a fake as a genuine product is definitely very high, even if he doesn't sell much and is less timid, he won't be able to live like this.

There is another point, the most important point, when Liu Xiang said this just now, the kind of grievance, that kind of helplessness can't be pretended, at least in front of Liu Xiaotian's eyes, even if the lying master doesn't want to lie in front of Liu Xiaotian now, Liu Xiaotian can sensitively feel the other party's heartbeat, and even every subtle action.

When people are lying, the body will inevitably have unnatural reactions, these reactions are not personal control, but human instinct, Liu Xiaotian has deliberately studied these, and now he is also a good psychological expert, according to his observation just now, Liu Xiang did not have any lying reactions, indicating that he was telling the truth and was really wronged.

"I believe, absolutely believe, but only I believe that it is useless, if you want to wash away your grievances, we must find out the truth of the matter and publish it, so that everyone will believe you, I am a lawyer, not a policeman, but I am responsible for this case, I have the responsibility and obligation to let my client get the fairest treatment, which is equivalent to saying that we have a common goal, I want to clear the grievances for the company, you have to be yourself, I believe in you, so you also have to believe me!"

Liu Xiaotian said slowly, his tone was unhappy, and his voice was steady, giving people a great sense of convincing.

Coupled with his sincere eyes, sincere attitude, and his higher temperament than others, it gives people a sense of nobility, and people will believe him unnaturally, Liu Xiang has already nodded according to his words.

Liu Xiang's attitude was much better, and he quickly told about this incident, and Liu Xiaotian heard a different version from him, which was completely different from the information brought by Pu Haitai.

Liu Xiang sells overseas skin care products, as well as some health care equipment, because this kind of thing is extremely easy to counterfeit, and the profit after counterfeiting is extremely high, and his shop has always been the focus of the company's attention, he is very aware of the consequences of selling counterfeits, so he has never done so, and he also got the company's integrity medal last year.

Liu Xiangren has reached middle age, it stands to reason that he has such a business, even if his life is not very good, he will completely get by, and he should definitely not live in a warehouse like now, and there is no problem at all with a simple and comfortable cabin.

Now is not a few hundred years ago, housing prices are inflated, 3D printing technology continues to mature, coupled with the development of science and technology, the cost of housing is now very low, lower than before, plus the state has been regulated, the current housing prices are not particularly high.

The house price is not high, compared to his income, not to mention renting, even if it is no problem to buy a set, but Liu Xiang's life is obviously very average at first glance, these Liu Xiang did not say, Liu Xiaotian knocked on the side, and finally asked.

Liu Xiang's son committed an accident three years ago, was imprisoned, and fined a lot of money, Liu Xiang wants his son to come out early, he must pay all the fines as soon as possible, he has been frugal in the past few years, so that he can live in the worst conditions, just want to save money for his son to come out early, and his mother is the same.

This is also one of the reasons why the company believes that he sells fakes, because he is short of money and needs money, when a father wants to save his son, he can do anything, the company does not believe him at all after knowing the news, and has always accused him, Liu Xiaotian is the first person to believe in him and is willing to listen to his explanation.

"You mean, he did buy a batch of goods from you, and what you sold him was genuine, but then he told the mall that these were fakes, and the batch of goods that he proved to be fakes were all batches of your goods, and there were also inspection orders from the mall!"

After Liu Xiaotian listened, his brows were already condensed, and he asked in a low voice.

"That's true, if it weren't for this, the people in the mall wouldn't believe me completely, after all, I have been in this mall for many years, and the reputation is still good, but it's a pity that this time I will also be involved in Technician Wang!"

Liu Xiang had a bitter face, and said slowly, the Wang technician he said was a staff member of the Ocean Department Store who specialized in testing and selling goods, Liu Xiang's goods wanted to enter the mall for sale, and he could only do it after he was released here, and now this Wang technician has been suspended at home, as for whether he accepted Liu Xiang's bribe, he will be investigated next, if there is such behavior, he is not as simple as dereliction of duty, and may be arrested.

"I understand, Mr. Liu, my surname is Liu, we are still our family, please believe me, as long as you are innocent, I will definitely help you find this innocence, I need a detailed written summary of this matter, I hope you can write it out and hand it over to me directly, don't go through other people!"

Liu Xiaotian stood up, he already had an understanding here, and he had achieved his goal, it was time to leave.

"Don't worry, I will!"

Liu Xiang hurriedly agreed, sent Liu Xiaotian and them out, and before leaving, Liu Xiaotian asked for the phone number of the Wang technician again, and then left.

Watching them leave, Liu Xiang sighed heavily, and went back to comfort his mother, this is another heavy blow to the mother, her favorite grandson was suddenly imprisoned a few years ago, and now her son is facing prison again, when will this troubled family be spared these disasters.

"Lawyer Liu, you are still amazing, and you asked all directly, but I don't believe what he said, there must be truth and falsehood in what he said, I think he colluded with that technician to sell fakes for profit!"

After going out, Zhang Yang said excitedly, he thought that Liu Xiaotian deliberately stabilized Liu Xiang, deceived him, and asked him to say this, although it was all according to Liu Xiang's own words, but they also got a lot of useful clues from it.

"What do you say, the facts have not been clarified yet, how can you conclude that he is selling fakes?"

Liu Xiaotian stopped suddenly, frowned and asked, and stared straight at Zhang Yang, who was a little weak by him, and couldn't help lowering his head.

"Isn't this my conclusion, isn't this what Ocean Department Store said, they will definitely not be willing to admit such a mistake themselves, since they have all admitted it, this must be the truth!"

Zhang Yang's voice became smaller and smaller, and finally he couldn't hear it himself.

"Zhang Yang, I didn't deceive him, although some lawyers will deliberately deceive others in order to collect evidence, but I have never done this, and we don't need to do this, before becoming a lawyer, first of all, you have to remember clearly, we are human beings, upright people, don't even be a lawyer if you can't do it well, I like you to remember, really remember!"

Liu Xiaotian said very peacefully, but every word was like a stick hitting Zhang Yang, Zhang Yang's face was a little pale, and he was the first to see Liu Xiaotian so strict.

"Lawyer Liu, I, I know it's wrong!"

Zhang Yang hurriedly admitted his mistake, he knew very well that he had made many people in the law firm envious of Liu Xiaotian, and he wished that someone would replace him, and following the most experienced and promising lawyer in the law firm was also a help and promotion for individuals.

Not to mention those new employees, even the old employees were very envious of him, and even some formal lawyers said that they were willing to follow Liu Xiaotian and learn from him.

"There is no next time!"

After Liu Xiaotian said this, he walked forward directly, Zhang Yang was stunned for a moment, and a cold sweat flowed from his body, he didn't expect Lawyer Liu to attach so much importance to this matter, and he actually gave him a warning directly.

This also made him pay more attention to Liu Xiaotian's words just now, carefully remember it in his heart, and avoid making such mistakes again in the future.

In a café, Liu Xiaotian asked Technician Wang out, Technician Wang is a young man, 25 years old this year, his full name is Wang Changshun, according to Liu Xiaotian's own reported age, they are still the same age, and Liu Xiaotian is a little older than him.

Wang Changshun's face was also very haggard, his name was Changshun, but now it is really unsmooth, Liu Xiang's fake case involved him, and the company determined that he had the benefits of Liu Xiang from top to bottom, and it was even possible that he came to sell fakes together, he couldn't tell if he had a mouth, and no one listened at all.

In particular, someone took out a video, on which he and Liu Xiang were clearly seen talking and laughing into a good restaurant, which made people think that this was a fact.

He did go to dinner with Liu Xiang, Liu Xiang's goods had to go through his inspection, and it was normal to occasionally bring him something to eat, or invite him to a meal, and the restaurant looked very good, the price was not high, and the two of them ate very simply, it was usually a simple lunch.

But when it was taken out at this time, the meaning was completely different, and he was now more passive and depressed.

Liu Xiaotian is the company's lawyer, he knows a little about this, after all, he is also an employee of the company, and he knows that the legal department has changed the legal counsel and changed a law firm, and this law firm has a very young and powerful lawyer, but he only heard that this is the first time he has seen this rumored young lawyer.

The first time we met, it was still like this.

Liu Xiaotian asked him about the content of the company is completely different from the previous company, he asked more about the operation of his position, and how to verify those inspection orders, unlike the people from the company who came to ask him how many benefits he received, why he helped Liu Xiang to sell fakes, the company treated him well, why did he damage the company's reputation and so on! ”

This also made him feel a little better in his heart, and he was even more responsive to Liu Xiaotian and very cooperative.

The two chatted for about twenty minutes, Liu Xiaotian said goodbye and left, Technician Wang here he wanted to know the information has been asked almost, there is no need to continue to ask, he also comforted Technician Wang, saying that he will definitely figure out this matter, let everyone know the truth of the facts, and let him not have a psychological burden.

"Lawyer Liu, how's it going?"

On the car back, Zhang Yang asked very carefully, as a paralegal who didn't even pass the judicial exam, Liu Xiaotian's previous warning and deterrence to him was very big, and he had to be careful and careful.

"This case is more complicated than we imagined, this is not a simple case of selling counterfeits and fighting counterfeits, there are very likely to be other conspiracies in it, and there must be internal ghosts in the Ocean Department Store, and they should be framed by outsiders!"

Liu Xiaotian shook his head slightly, he didn't think so much about this case at first, Pu Haitai told him that the company had admitted its mistake and was just negotiating compensation, and his task was to reduce the loss of Sino-Ocean Department Store even lower, not to think about helping them win the lawsuit.

It is impossible to win such a lawsuit, and if part of the loss can be recovered, the reduction of the compensation amount is already a victory.

"So, what they said is true, someone here has done something?"

Zhang Yang was stunned again, although he had Liu Xiaotian's warning, it was still difficult for him to fully believe Liu Xiaotian's words, after all, he had preconceived these things.

"That's true, there is still time in the afternoon, you can make an appointment with the plaintiff to see if you can meet with him, and talk about the issue of compensation!"

Liu Xiaotian thought for a while, and then ordered, Zhang Yang immediately contacted the plaintiff, that is, the customer who bought something, this customer didn't even invite a lawyer, and his own lawsuit was conclusive, and he basically won such a lawsuit, so there was no need to ask a lawyer to spend more money.

The other party readily accepted his request to meet, and Liu Xiaotian soon met the plaintiff.

A thirty-five or sixteen-year-old, thin man, looks a little quiet, Liu Xiaotian didn't say any nonsense to him, and directly talked to him about compensation according to Pu Haitai's request, Sino-Ocean Company is willing to double the compensation, hoping to settle out of court, this request was categorically rejected by the other party, and the plaintiff insisted that he must pay ten times the compensation, otherwise he will see him in court.

Liu Xiaotian noticed that when he talked about the tenfold compensation, he was always a little excited.

"Mr. Gao, I will convey your meaning to the upper echelons of the company, but personally, the probability of them agreeing is very low!"

Liu Xiaotian looked at the other party and said slowly, the plaintiff's name is Gao, according to the information, he works in a chemical factory, and he is not a professional anti-counterfeiter, and this is also the first time he has bought counterfeits.

The so-called buying fake and fighting fakes, is to know that it is fake, but also to buy a large number of goods, and then to sue for the goods as fake, to obtain many times the compensation benefits, this industry has not disappeared since the emergence of the industry, now there is a professional team to buy fake and fight counterfeits, specially someone to check, investigate what may be fake, and then someone step on the point, and finally someone to buy.

Some people buy in small batches first, and then buy in large quantities after gaining trust, and some go up directly to buy a large number of them, but now the people who sell fakes are also smart, and there are really inexplicable large single customers, but they don't sell them on the grounds that they don't have goods, and these people are worried.

The attitude of the country towards such people is support, so as long as there is such a lawsuit, it is basically the person who fights counterfeits to win, so there is also the purpose of cracking down on fakes, even if you sell fakes to escape the scrutiny, you have to bear more economic risks, so that the cost of selling fakes increases, and after a long time, naturally no one will sell fakes.

Such people have common characteristics, team, sue immediately after buying something, wait for you to negotiate, and then settle out of court, generally speaking, compensation can be negotiated some, after all, out-of-court settlement saves time, even if the other party will definitely lose the lawsuit, it will take a while to enforce.

For them, the most important purpose is to make money, more or less just in negotiations, and these people are also very skilled in negotiations.

Gao Shi is obviously different from them, Gao Shi has only one person, not a team, and he is not good at negotiation skills, he is seen in court at every turn, insisting on ten times the compensation and not letting up at all, as if the other party will definitely pay this number after he has won it, and he doesn't care that he can only get the money after the court judgment.

"Mr. Gao, take the liberty of asking a question, do you know anyone in the Ocean Department Store?"

Liu Xiaotian suddenly asked, this is a question that has nothing to do with the case, Gao Shi was stunned by the dream he asked, and immediately shook his head: "No, how can I have any people!" ”

"Okay, I know, thank you Mr. Gao for your cooperation, I will continue to mediate and convey your opinions to the company!"

Liu Xiaotian stood up, got up to say goodbye, Gao Shi was a little flustered just now, but now he has recovered, got up and sent Liu Xiaotian and them away.

Gao Shi is lying, Liu Xiaotian can be sure of this, he must have someone he knows in the Ocean Department Store, and it is very likely that it is the ghost, Technician Wang said, their review is not particularly strict, especially for those merchants who have been cooperating for a long time, they are basically going through the motions.

Ocean Department Store is not only a technician, in fact, his review is already the strictest, every time he will look at it carefully, and only release it after being sure.

The inspection sheets of Ocean Department Store are the same, or different people stamp different seals, which is equivalent to saying that as long as someone can get the seal of Technician Wang, they can make such an inspection sheet, according to Technician Wang's own recollection, he does not particularly care about the management of these official seals, they are all placed in the office, and they are rarely locked.

This kind of official seal can only be used by reviewing other people's goods, and it is useless to take it out, so he will not care.

If this is the case, it is equivalent to making it possible for someone to forge the inspection form.

Even the inspection sheet can be forged, so it is more likely that various other things will be forged, and it is easier to forge a few health products.

"Go to Ocean Department Store!"

In the car, Liu Xiaotian suddenly ordered, he went to the Ocean Department Store, this matter is not so simple, if you want to investigate the facts clearly, you still need a lot of evidence, he is just guessing now, there is no specific candidate, it is still necessary to go to the Ocean Department Store.

Ocean Department Store attaches great importance to this matter, this is the first time in several years that they have been targeted by counterfeiters, and they really bought fakes here, the company is very annoyed, after several meetings, they are finally willing to agree to Gao Shi's request, willing to pay ten times the compensation, and settle out of court, they are not willing to make a fuss about this matter.

It's a pity that God didn't fulfill people's wishes, they just made a decision, and they could notify Gao Shi, who had already found a reporter and took the initiative to expose the matter.

All of a sudden, negative news from the media hit the air, and the company began to suffer financial losses.

The angry company's top management immediately overturned the results of the previous discussion, and the other party even found a reporter, so there was no need to agree to their conditions and fight this lawsuit.

Even if they lose, they can't get that much, and they must pay according to the minimum standard.

They are still sure of this, after all, the top products are sold by partners, and their shopping malls have a good reputation for several years, plus this time the attitude is very positive, as well as Liu Xiaotian's personal ability, combined together, it is completely possible to make the court sentence lighter, five to ten times the compensation, and seven times the compensation is a victory.

In short, just don't let the other party get so much money.

The lawsuit still has to be fought, which makes Liu Xiaotian breathe a sigh of relief, his investigation has a lot of clues, and there are some eyebrows, and he will soon investigate clearly, and the out-of-court settlement at this time is equivalent to his failure.

Time passed slowly, for a week in a row, Liu Xiaotian focused on the case of Ocean Department Store, and also transferred a case in his hand, lawyer Hu They are very supportive of this, Ocean Department Store is a big customer, they are people's legal counsel, they must do their best to do this.

Soon, the trial of this lawsuit will be held, because of the previous media exposure, many media on the day of the trial paid attention to this matter, and many media have called Gao Shi another dozen dummies in Binhai, successfully knocked down Ocean Department Store, and unveiled their hypocrisy.

Sino-Ocean Department Store had a good reputation before, but the more this happens, the heavier the media's crusade will be, and only in this way can it attract attention and stimulate media sales.

"Lawyer Liu, please!"

At the door of the court, Pu Haitai said to Liu Xiaotian in the car, the trial is going on today, but he is not the defendant, the defendant should be the general manager of the company, he did not come in person, he came to a vice president of the company, and he can represent him.

Pu Haitai came with as a senior manager, he will be in the auditorium, the lawyers who came this time are Liu Xiaotian and Zhang Yang, they have always been in charge of this case, and only they know best, other lawyers are not involved, they don't understand, and no one comes.

It's just that Zhang Yang's identity is a paralegal, and he can't participate in the defense in court and can't speak, which means that this lawsuit all depends on Liu Xiaotian himself.
