Chapter 23: The Bullshit Lawyer
After finishing the work in hand, Xiao Zhou walked up to Fang Yi and asked puzzledly: "Lawyer Fang, why can you go through the litigation procedure and ask the other party to pay labor compensation, why bother to complain?" Tossing and turning may not be able to get the money, and in the end, maybe we will have to go to court to sue. ”
Fang Yi smiled slightly: "If you go through the litigation procedure, the first instance plus the second instance, and then apply for compulsory enforcement, how long do you think it will be over?" Will you definitely get the money? ”
"It's hard to say, it will take at least a few months to go through the litigation process, and if there are many court cases, it will drag on for a while, even if you get the money, it will take a year and a half." Xiao Zhou thought for a while and said, "But complaints may not be useful!" ”
"Although the effect of a complaint is not necessarily good, if it is a criminal case, it is easy to handle. Do you know that there is a crime of refusal to pay labor remuneration in criminal law? Fang Yi smiled.
"Well, I see. If you can be convicted of refusing to pay labor remuneration, it is indeed much better than going through civil litigation. Xiao Zhou said thoughtfully.
"This is why many parties to cases want to rely on criminal cases, which involve personal freedom, have a great deterrent effect, and the effect is naturally good.
Okay, after a day of running, you should go back early. I have to trouble you to write the reports and forms to the Bureau of Justice for me. Fang Yi said with a smile.
"That's simple, I've written a lot before. Then I'll go back first! Goodbye, Director! Goodbye, lawyer Fang! After speaking, Xiao Zhou left the law firm in a hurry.
Sun Zhengyi came over with a purple teapot and a smile: "Xiao Fang, you should go back and rest early." The case cannot be completed in a day. ”
He liked this tone very much, his lawyers worked overtime, and he showed a sympathetic posture for his subordinates, hello, hello, everyone, how harmonious, this picture can greatly satisfy his vanity.
"It's okay, director, you go first, I'll check some information again, and I'll go back later." Fang Yi smiled.
Son Zhengyi nodded, he hadn't felt this way for many years, and he remembered that the last time the law firm had this kind of adjustment was two years ago, when there was a lawyer surnamed Wang, who worked very hard, but then lawyer Wang was squeezed away by Zhao Zhongzhong and Chu Huai.
The next afternoon, the Chu family.
Old Man Chu sat on the sofa, his eyes blank, and he kept squinting and snorting his cigarette. The old lady sat aside, fanned the second-hand smoke with her fan, and moved to the side.
"Smoke, smoke, you know, look at this wall is yellow, you smoked." The old lady looked at Old Man Chu with disgust.
Chu Hong sat on the chair, twisted her face, and didn't look at her parents, the atmosphere in the room was not very harmonious.
Seeing that Old Man Chu didn't speak, the old lady was anxious: "Honghong, your father is also good for you." How can you say that you and Zhong Wen are also husband and wife, and you are not officially divorced......"
"The court's verdict has been handed down, why is it not a formal divorce?" Chu Hong turned her face and said a word without waiting for her mother to finish.
"I mean, how do you say you've spent so many years together, really, you just want to watch him go to jail?" The old lady stared at Chu Hongdao.
"He brought it on himself." Chu Hong bit her lip and said.
"If your wife sues her husband for rape, you won't be afraid of the neighbors' jokes. Listen to me and quickly write a letter of understanding and send it to the Zhong family, if you can't pull your face, I'll send it.
This one who looks down and doesn't look up to see him, he will leave a line for being a man, and he will meet in the future. Old Man Chu took the cigarette off his mouth, raised his head, and said earnestly.
Chu Hong stared at her parents up and down, the old man Chu was uncomfortable, and the old lady turned her face away and stopped talking.
"Have you gained the benefits of the Zhong family?" Chu Hong asked suddenly.
"Nope! How could it be ......" The old lady, who was used to being domineering on weekdays, suddenly felt a little speechless, and tried her best to hide the panic in her heart, but Chu Hong still saw the problem.
"Mom, Dad, I can listen to you all the rest, I have to make my own decisions this time, you don't care." After Chu Hong finished speaking, he got up and walked to his room.
She knows best what kind of people her parents are, and she doesn't want her parents to accept the benefits of the Zhong family, but her mother's eyes just now made her sure that her parents must have reached a deal with the Zhong family, and the letter of understanding is part of the transaction, otherwise she would not be forced by her parents to write a letter of understanding as soon as she entered the door.
"Honghong, we're all here for your own good......" Before the old lady could finish speaking, there was a heavy sound of the door closing.
"Look at her, what kind of attitude is this! Is this still counting on her to provide for us? "Old Man Chu is furious.
"Okay, you don't have to say a few words, let's sum up how to tell Lawyer Fang first." The old lady was worried about the 100,000 yuan, and her mind was a mess.
Just then, the phone rang at home.
"Hey,...... Lawyer Fang, what...... The Zhong family agreed, okay, you wait for our good news. Well, definitely as soon as possible! The old lady covered the microphone with her hand and whispered.
After speaking, she hung up the phone, frowned and looked at Old Man Chu, and said in a low voice: "Look, people are starting to urge." ”
In the morning, Fang Yi sat in the detention center and waited to meet Zhong Wen. After a while, Zhong Wen was brought over by the police. After a few days, Zhong Wen lost a lot of weight, and the whole person looked a little decadent.
"Zhong Wen, I have read your case file, my opinion is to defend you for a minor crime, and the prosecutor came to the detention center to talk to you, right?" Fang Yi said.
"Well, it's a woman surnamed Chen. What does Lawyer Fang's defense mean by the lesser crime, I committed a crime? Zhong Wen stared at Fang Yidao.
"Judging from the current circumstances of the case, you have indeed committed the crime of rape. Hopefully, you will plead guilty so that it will be beneficial to the sentencing of your case. Fang Yi said.
"What kind of bullshit lawyer are you! How can you say such a thing, I am not innocent! On what basis do I confess my sins? You're going to plead my innocence. Must be innocent. Zhong Wen suddenly looked a little excited.
Fang Yi's face was relatively calm, and he did not go violent on the spot because of Zhong Wen's words: "I can only provide you with legal services based on the facts of the case, and the defense of the crime is the best plan."
If you insist on pleading not guilty, you may end up with a sentence of three to ten years in prison, of course, I will do my best to defend you, but I can only provide you with a defense of lesser crimes, not a defense of innocence. ”
"! What kind of bullshit lawyer are you, I'm going to change lawyers. Zhong Wen roared hysterically. The policeman on the side came over and scolded him.
"Think about it, you're going to change lawyers, and I respect your opinion. I'll do it again before the trial. Fang Yi got up and ended the meeting.
Walking out of the detention center, Fang Yi did not leave immediately, but lit a cigarette, took a deep breath and slowly exhaled it, and the smoke dispersed.
