Chapter 155: The Dignity of the Law
Xu Xiaxi was full of food and drink, and was half-leaning on the sofa, rubbing his stomach comfortably.
Fu Lichen asked coldly: "Now it's time to tell me about that thing called Xiang Yiyang, right?" ”
Xu Xiaxi's movements stiffened suddenly, and all leisure disappeared at once.
She sat up straight, facing Fu Lichen's gaze, and her heart was a little empty.
"The ......," she hesitated.
Fu Lichen didn't urge, with an expression of 'I'll wait for you to explain honestly', and looked at her without speaking.
Xia Xi was helpless, so he could only briefly tell Fu Lichen the story he heard from Xiang Yiyang.
At the end, he commented: "Although this is just Xiang Yiyang's own words, I still think that his words have a certain credibility." After all, he really became a kidnapper, and it was a felony with at least five to ten years in prison, if he didn't really have a hard intention, how could he do such a stupid thing? ”
Especially later, Xiang Yiyang gave up the kidnapping under the persuasion of Xu Xiaxi and took the initiative to surrender to the public security organs, which further proved the authenticity of his words.
However, Fu Lichen was silent for a while after listening to Xu Xiaxi's explanation, and suddenly asked coldly: "Do you still know that you were kidnapped before?" ”
"Huh?"
Xia Xi was slightly stunned, and then listened to Fu Lichen continue lukewarmly: "You are so generous, you still intercede for the kidnapper and even want to 'avenge' for him, I almost thought you didn't know that you were the victim!?" ”
"Uh......" Xu Xiaxi heard that Fu Lichen was mocking himself for being too 'virgin', and he was a little embarrassed.
Scratching his head, he explained in a low voice: "I didn't exonerate him, he must be punished by law if he commits a crime." Otherwise, everyone will come to this trick when they are in trouble, and the lives of our innocent people will be lost? ”
Xu Xiaxi smiled flatteringly at Fu Lichen, and then solemnly said that his position was still very firm, and he definitely did not forgive the crime because of the suspect's pitiful posture.
Xiang Yiyang's kidnapping of her, no matter what purpose or reason, is a crime and should be punished.
But one yard is one yard.
From another point of view, Xiang Yiyang is a victim again, and his rights should also be protected.
In particular, it also involves two innocent people whose whereabouts are unknown.
Xu Xiaxi stammered and explained her mood and discernment, and then looked at Fu Lichen with a nervous expression, and she didn't know if the man understood her mood.
This time, Fu Lichen was silent for even longer.
His thin lips pursed slightly, and his expression was serious and cold, making it difficult to approach.
As soon as Xia Xi saw his expression, he panicked, I am afraid that this time there is no way to ask Fu Lichen for help.
She lowered her head and pursed her lips with a depressed expression, but she heard the man suddenly say, "If you want me to help, it's not impossible." ”
Xu Xiaxi raised her head suddenly, her eyes were shining, and she looked at the man with a look like a puppy with bones, so she was about to add a pair of ears and a little tail wagging around.
Fu Lichen originally had a straight face, but he was amused by Xu Xiaxi's really cute behavior.
The expression on his face couldn't hold back, and he simply said directly: "Don't forget, we currently have a difficult case in our hands. ”
Xu Xiaxi froze, and her happy mood fell down again.
She hadn't forgotten Lei's case, but she had followed Fu Lichen before that, and she didn't help much at all, so she really didn't classify this case as 'her own case' for a while.
At the beginning, her plan was what Fu Lichen asked her to do, and she just did it obediently, and she didn't think much about it.
Now it seems that it is not so simple.
Lei's case is not so easy to solve, and Xiang Yiyang's case sounds very tricky.
With Fu Lichen's ability, it may not be too difficult to handle any of these cases alone.
At this point, Xu Xiaxi is still very confident in Fu Lichen.
But if Fu Lichen wants to do the two cases at the same time, and they are both top priorities, and there is no way to slow down, Fu Lichen has to take care of them one by one.
Xu Xiaxi didn't need to ask Fu Lichen to know that this was simply difficult for a strong man.
Not to mention Fu Lichen, it is impossible for any lawyer to take care of both!
Xu Xiaxi hung his head in disbelief and said sullenly: "Then what should I do?" ”
Fu Lichen paused and said with a smile: "I thought you would say that you want to take on Yiyang's case." ”
After all, this case was taken by Xu Xiaxi from the beginning, and she has always been very active.
Now it seems that Natsuki has never thought about taking on this case.
But after Xu Xiaxi listened to Fu Lichen's words, he glanced at the other party strangely, and said puzzledly: "Doesn't the law stipulate that in addition to kinship, the lawyer or defender cannot have a dispute of interest with the client?"
Xiang Yiyang kidnapped me, and I am the victim of the case, how can I act as his defender if I am obviously opposed to him? ”
If such a thing is really allowed, then it is called a real slap in the face of the 'law'.
The law is originally intended to protect the safety of citizens' lives and property, but the victim jumps out to protect the interests of the defendant, even if it is only a legitimate interest, and if it is spread, the dignity of the law will be greatly reduced and the face will be lost.
Although Xu Xiaxi pitied Xiang Yiyang, as a lawyer, she would never do such a thing that harmed the dignity of the 'law'.
This is also Xu Xiaxi promised to help Xiang Yiyang, but never showed that he wanted to represent this case.
Fu Lichen listened to Xu Xiaxi's declaration, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but smile, and he couldn't hide his appreciation in his starry eyes, "Your 'consciousness' is quite high!" ”
Xu Xiaxi had known Fu Lichen for so long, and immediately noticed that the man was in a good mood at this time, and immediately smiled flatteringly at the man, "It's still good to be taught by the master!" ”
It was the first time for Fu Lichen to hear Xu Xiaxi call him 'master' so 'respectfully', and he couldn't help but feel a little curious.
Even if he knew that Xu Xiaxi was careful, he couldn't stand his good mood, so he waved his hand and agreed, "Okay!" I'll talk to Xiang Yiyang about this case. ”
In fact, as early as when Xiang Yiyang was arrested, Fu Lichen had already submitted an application to the public security police, and it happened that Xiang Yiyang also asked to see a lawyer.
It's not that difficult.
It's just that......
Fu Lichen half-narrowed his eyes and asked lightly, "But what about Lei's case?" ”
Kicked the ball back into Xu Xiaxi's arms again.
Xu Xiaxi's whole little face wrinkled for the rarity, gritted his teeth, and said simply: "I'll follow Lei's case!" I'll do all the work! ”
She paused, thinking of her current qualifications, and said bitterly: "But they definitely look down on my qualifications, if they want you to come forward, you will definitely have to go." ”
That's what this line is.
It is very strange that in fact, many things are done by young lawyers and senior lawyers, and there may be a way out of the process, but the results are not too different; However, people are generally superstitious about the 'qualifications', and always think that only senior lawyers can really do things.
This is also the reason why Xu Xiaxi defined himself as an assistant from the beginning.
Even though she has become a trainee lawyer, she is a rookie to government officials and company executives, and it is a trivial thing to look down on her, and sometimes even judge their work to make it harder for them to work.
However, Xu Xiaxi is not afraid.
She has Fu Lichen!
No matter how those people embarrass her, as long as Fu Lichen is 'sacrificed', everything will definitely be done.
The ace lawyer of the sea market is not blown, this signboard is comparable to the 'Danshu Iron Coupon' awarded by the emperor to the meritorious minister in ancient times, and it is also used throughout the country.
Fu Lichen saw the smugness between Xu Xiaxi's eyebrows, even if he didn't know what she was planning, he could guess what the other party must be calculating.
However, the man didn't say anything, and was willing to condone Xu Xia Xi's wanton gesture.
One of them is willing to fight, and the other is willing to suffer.
The two most difficult cases were happily 'divided' by them.
As Xu Xiaxi expected, but when the city government and Lei's side heard that the case was taken over by Xu Xiaxi, the opinions of both parties were very large.
Lei Maohua, chairman of Lei's family, directly found Fu Lichen, and he couldn't put on a smiling face to welcome people before, so he said with a cold face: "Lawyer Fu, our Lei's is willing to hand over this case to you, which is a trust in you, but you casually transfer the case, which is too perfunctory for us, right?" ”
Fu Lichen smiled slightly, and asked rhetorically: "This case was jointly handled by me and Lawyer Xu, why did Mr. Lei call 'changing hands'?" ”
"Everyone is in this industry, what kind of case handling model do you lawyers, just because I don't know at all? Nominally, two people are working together on a case, but in reality, one person is working and the other is just a name. Lei Maohua snorted coldly, saying that he was very familiar with this routine.
Fu Lichen didn't feel empty when he was exposed in person, his face remained unchanged, and he said calmly: "Mr. Lei misunderstood, since my name is on the entrustment agreement, I definitely can't really leave it alone, after all, the case is smashed, and it is my own reputation that is smashed." ”
Lei Maohua listened to this explanation, and the surging anger finally suppressed a little, obviously listening to Fu Lichen's words.
A lawyer of Fu Lichen's level must cherish his 'feathers' the most, and he will definitely not easily smash his signboard.
But it's more efficient to handle joint cases in person!
Lei Maohua still wants to fight for it again.
Before he spoke, Fu Lichen slowly added: "Of course, if Mr. Lei has any objections to this 'new' entrustment agreement and wants to change the lawyer, of course I am willing to make way for capable people." ”
In that case, no matter how miserable the Lei clan is in the future, there is no way to use this as an excuse to attack him!
When Lei Maohua heard this, he immediately panicked, and immediately said: "No objection, no objection!" Let's sign this contract today, as long as Lawyer Fu is willing to pay attention to the case, after the matter is completed, I am personally willing to give you an additional 1 million agency fees. ”
