Chapter 353: Appeal Failed

Sima Qiqi sighed when he heard the words, Sima Qiqi's actions attracted attention, and he looked back at Sima Qiqi and asked with a puzzled expression: "That Sima lawyer, why are you sighing, aren't you still thinking that our investigation of the Forest Garden case was known by the judge back then, and you are worried that something will go wrong?"

Sima Qiqi said slowly: "No, I'm thinking about my senior brother Tu Minghao's words......"

Before Sima Qiqi could finish speaking, he interrupted Sima Qiqi with a wave of his hand and said, "Lawyer Sima, you don't have to worry so much, your senior brother didn't do anything, and he talked too much to demoralize, why do you care so much about what your senior brother says!"

Sima Qiqi shook his head with a wry smile and said: "A lawyer's lawsuit is like a doctor performing surgery, no one dares to guarantee 100% that it will be successful, so just now, Tu Minghao and I didn't know whether to answer Xiaolu's question, even if there is a 99.9% probability of success, but in the end, there may be a 0.1% accident."

Hearing Sima Qiqi say this, his mood became very depressed, and he asked slowly: "So, lawyer Sima, are you blaming me for promising Xiaolu that I would succeed just now, but actually not helping him, but harming him, and also increasing the burden and pressure on you?"

Sima Qiqi looked back, her face was expressionless at first, and then she couldn't help swallowing her saliva, for fear that Sima Qiqi would blame herself, but she didn't expect Sima Qiqi to look at it for a while, her eyes gradually became gentle, and she said with a smile: "If I, Sima Qiqi, were afraid of pressure, then I wouldn't do this kind of work as a criminal defense lawyer." Okay, don't think about it, what you said at the time was to comfort Xiaolu, this Xiaolu himself knows, he is a top student in the law department, doesn't he know that the appeal of the case is not 100% successful, this ultimately depends on the decision of the magistrate, sometimes the evidence is ironclad, but it may also be rejected by the magistrate to apply for an appeal, now don't think about it so much, let's hurry back to the office and prepare all the work and documents for the appeal. ”

and Sima Qiqi returned to the firm, and asked Xiao Yan to arrange work, because Sima Qiqi and Xiao Yan began to be busy with big cases again, they could only let Song Yinfeng and others temporarily take over Xiao Yan's work, due to the gradual increase in the workload in the past three years, in order to share the workload of these two beautiful lawyers, so a group of new civil lawyers were recruited into the firm, led by Song Yinfeng, Xiao Yan began to help Sima Qiqi sort out the information after explaining the work in his hand, and then saw the busy figure of the two people, and found that he had nothing to do at this time, But it won't just stand aside as a sculpture, the body is the key, protecting the internal organs of the two, especially Sima Qiqi.

The appeal materials of Xiaolu's father's case have been submitted to the court. On a new day, Xiao Yan walked into Sima Qiqi's office quickly, and was chatting with Sima Qiqi at this time, seeing Xiao Yan in such a hurry, holding something like an envelope in his hand, knowing that the appeal court had a result.

Xiao Yan is in a hurry, not yet

opened the envelope, Sima Qiqi took the envelope and slowly opened the envelope, and Xiao Yan stared at Sima Qiqi's hand movements, Sima Qiqi felt funny when she saw the reaction of the two.

"You two don't need such exaggerated expressions, this is an ordinary case!"

Sima Qiqi said very calmly, because he didn't understand the law, he also felt that what Sima Qiqi said made sense, but Xiao Yan had a worried expression on his face at this time, shook his head and said: "Lawyer Sima, what you said is easy, the people who investigated and prosecuted and were responsible for conviction are now all in the first place, especially the judge who pronounced the sentence back then, and now he is one of the judges of the Supreme Court in the southwest region." I heard that it won't be long before he will be transferred to a higher place. Lawyer Sima, whether your case is successful or not, you are challenging authority! ”

Sima Qiqi looked up at Xiao Yan, there was no trace of worry on his face, but when he heard Xiao Yan say this, he hurriedly stretched out his hand to block the envelope that Sima Qiqi wanted to open, Sima Qiqi looked at this abnormal behavior with a puzzled expression.

"Hehe, Lawyer Sima, you haven't seen this envelope yet, you can still regret it, we don't always have to challenge the high difficulty!"

After speaking, Sima Qiqi and Xiao Yan both looked at each other without saying a word, knowing that once these two beautiful lawyers decided something, the nine cows would not be able to pull it back, so they slowly withdrew their hands and made a gesture of please. 【~ ! *Fastest Update】

Sima Qiqi opened the envelope completely, and prayed silently in his heart: "Don't agree, don't agree."

After reading it, Sima Qiqi slowly put down the letter, looked at Xiao Yanhe, both of them were full of eagerness to know the result, Sima Qiqi smiled slightly and said: "The court agreed to open an appellate tribunal for the murder and cremation of the corpse in the Forest Garden, and decide whether the case is necessary to be retried."

Xiao Yan heard Sima Qiqi say this, and their expressions were completely different. was depressed, and couldn't help sighing and thinking: "Alas, I want to challenge authority again, my God, if it weren't for the old man behind my back, I guess I would have been crushed to ashes, alas, it would be good if the appeal application was not approved, eh, the appeal can fail!" Anyway, Lu Jinyi has a few faces, there is no need to fight for such a passer-by with his own office! ”

Thinking of this, I couldn't help laughing, the laughter that Xiao Yan and Sima Qiqi both heard, Sima Qiqi pretended to cough, interrupting his thoughts, and then saw Sima Qiqi and Xiao Yan staring at him, and smiled embarrassedly.

After leaving Sima Qiqi's office, Sima Qiqi looked at Xiao Yan at this time and said, "Xiao Yan, you just heard that the appeal application was approved, and your expression is even more complicated, what's wrong?"

Xiao Yan looked at Sima Qiqi with an anxious face at this time and said, "Si, lawyer Sima, do you know who the magistrate is this time?"

Sima Qiqi's originally relaxed expression suddenly became serious, put the letter in his hand on the table, and said slowly: "Qi Nian took the initiative to ask Ying to be."

This time, the magistrate of the appellate adjudication court, Qi Nian and I fought with him once, and then when he was a judge, he also dealt with the case I was responsible for, he was the same as Fang Aoqin, I can't see through the two, especially Qi Nian, who was parachuted into Shuzhong City to prosecute back then, and later turned into a judge. ”

Xiao Yan nodded, and hurriedly said: "So, Lawyer Sima, you should know why I have such a complicated expression, I always feel that I have a bad premonition about what to say about this case!"

Sima Qiqi smiled and said: "Then our soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, don't be afraid, everything is still on top!"

When Xiao Yan heard Sima Qiqi say this, he barely squeezed out a smile.

The adjudication court of the Forest Garden case was held, and because the justices were involved, the closed-door meeting was held this time, and because they were not legal workers, they were even locked out.

Standing outside the door is very boring, from time to time sticking to the door to listen to the situation inside, but unfortunately, the door of this courtroom is very soundproof, and I don't hear any sound when I put my ears on the door, but it is strange by passers-by.

After more than an hour, the door of the courtroom opened, and when I saw Sima Qiqi and Xiao Yan walking out first, I hurriedly stepped up and asked, "How is the situation, has the court decided to retry the trial?"

Sima Qiqi was about to speak, but he still held back, he felt strange when he saw Sima Qiqi's behavior, turned his head to look at Xiao Yan, Xiao Yan sighed and shook his head, seeing Xiao Yan's expression, he felt that the result was definitely not very good, so he didn't ask any more.

As soon as the three of them walked out of the courthouse, a familiar figure ran in front of them, and Lu Jinyi came to Sima Qiqi and asked excitedly: "Lawyer Sima, how is the appeal, has the court decided to retry my father's case?"

Seeing that Lu Jinyi kept asking Sima Qiqi, he said angrily: "Don't keep asking, Ren Qi, Lawyer Sima has just finished dealing with the prosecution and the magistrate, can you let Lawyer Sima take a breath, you are not so anxious to hang yourself."

Lu Jinyi realized his gaffe at this time, took a step back, and said with a solemn face: "That, Lawyer Sima, please forgive me for my recklessness, I mainly miss my father too much, I hope to take my father out of the cold iron cage immediately, and ask Lawyer Sima for your forgiveness for being rude."

Sima Qiqi looked up at Lu Jinyi's sincere face, sighed and said, "It's me who wants to say I'm sorry, not you, I'm sorry, Xiaolu, this appeal failed."

Although he had guessed from Xiao Yan's expression and Sima Qiqi's abnormal behavior just now, but still with a skeptical mentality, Sima Qiqi said the result at this time, although he didn't feel too shocked, but he still felt incredible, because the evidence that Meng Meimei checked was not 100%, but it also made a key piece of evidence appear in major doubts, and it was impossible to fail according to reason!

Sure enough, as soon as Lu Jin heard the result of Sima Qiqi's words, he quickly shook his head and said loudly: "Impossible, impossible, impossible, you are Sima Qiqi,

You are the most powerful criminal defense lawyer in the southwest and even in the country, you have found a key breakthrough, haven't you, that hammer did not detect my mother's brain component, that hammer is not the murder weapon that killed my mother, why didn't the magistrate rule that my father's case has major doubts and retry it? ”

Lu Jinyi roared frantically as soon as he approached, attracting the attention of the people around him, but in the court, it seemed that this situation was commonplace for everyone, so he just stopped and glanced at Lu Jinyi, and after a while, the people around him scattered.

Sima Qiqi saw Lu Jinyi like this, and wanted to comfort Lu Jinyi and didn't know what to say, then Lu Jinyi felt someone pat him on the shoulder, Lu Jinyi turned around and saw that it was Tu Minghao, Tu Minghao looked at Lu Jinyi with gentle eyes at this time and said slowly: "Xiaolu, you are also studying law, you should know that any case will not be 100% likely to move in the direction you want."
