"The courtroom arguments ended. In accordance with article 160 of the Criminal Procedure Law of the People's Republic of China, it is now up to the appellant to make his final statement. Appellant Cao Yueshan made a final statement. The presiding judge said.

"Honorable collegial panel ......" Cao Yueshan felt that his defender had a level than the prosecutor, and he didn't know what he said in those specific places, only that Fang Yi said more than the prosecutor.

"The court will now be adjourned for 10 minutes, and the verdict will be announced in court after the collegial panel deliberates. Ask the bailiff to take the defendant out of the courtroom. As the gavel fell, the three judges withdrew from the courtroom.

Fang Yi leaned back in his chair and breathed a sigh of relief, the trial was finally over.

When the trial was held just now, his head and the pen in his hand had not stopped, constantly remembering the female prosecutor's speech and thinking about countermeasures, but now as soon as he relaxed, he suddenly felt that his brain was a little unable to turn, and he was weak.

When his stomach rumbled, Fang Yi looked at the time on his mobile phone, it was already 1:50, and he had been in the court for nearly five hours, and he hadn't eaten lunch.

Fang Yi stood up and was about to stretch his muscles, when Qian Linlin walked over quickly.

"Lawyer Fang, hard work! Do you think there is a chance of success in this case? Qian Linlin looked forward to it and asked eagerly.

"It's hard to say yet, but I think there is still a chance, and the judge will announce the verdict in court in a while, and I'm waiting." Fang Yi said.

How did Fang Yi answer these words, the trial was over, the judge was the last person to make the final decision, the lawyer just did his best, and now he can only do his best to obey the destiny of heaven. However, Fang Yi still has some confidence.

At this time, Fang Yi's calmness made Qian Linlin feel more down-to-earth than what he said. Seeing Fang Yi say this, Qian Linlin thanked her again and retreated to the auditorium to wait for the verdict.

While everyone was anxiously waiting, the clerk suddenly got up and said, "Please all stand and invite the presiding judge and judges to enter the courtroom." ”

As the collegial panel took their seats, the presiding judge rang the gavel: "Please take a seat, now continue the trial, and ask the bailiff to bring Cao Yueshan to the courtroom."

The collegial panel has deliberated and formed a verdict in this case. In response to the opinions of the prosecution and defense, combined with the focus of the dispute in this case, and based on the facts and evidence of this case, this court makes the following comments......

The appellant, Cao Yueshan, committed fraud when signing the contract with Lianda Company, but the new residential construction project of Honghai Company was real and had a certain amount of pre-investment, and the deposit collected was mainly used to repay the debts formed by the operation of the project and the company's daily expenses, and the evidence to determine the purpose of the appellant's illegal possession was insufficient.

The grounds of appeal and defense opinions of Cao Yueshan and her defender that the case was a civil dispute and that the appellant did not constitute the crime of contract fraud were adopted by this court.

In accordance with the provisions of Article 195, Paragraph 1, Item 3, Article 225, Paragraph 1, Paragraph 3, and Article 233 of the Criminal Procedure Law of the People's Republic of China, the verdict was changed to not guilty in accordance with law. ”

After the verdict was read, Fang Yi's heart was relieved and he smiled, 200,000 yuan is really not easy to earn!

Cao Yueshan was released in court, and Qian Linlin and her relatives and friends surrounded her. Cao Yueshan held Fang Yi's hand: "Lawyer Fang, thank you!" His hands were shaking with excitement, and tears were faintly visible in his eyes.

"It's a joint effort, this is not the place to talk, go back and talk." Fang Yi smiled.

"Yes, let's go back, let it go for a thousand rings first, and go to get rid of bad luck." Qian Linlin said excitedly.

Ay! Why didn't anyone propose to eat first, this is all hungry and close to the back! Fang Yi sneered.

Everyone went out of the courthouse, and after calming down, they began to shout about eating, and they, like Fang Yi, were also hungry.

With so many people coming to help her, Qian Linlin naturally couldn't treat everyone badly, so she hurriedly found a phone call from a high-end restaurant in the city, and after booking a table, the group went to the hotel in a big way.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Qian Linlin sent Fang Yi back to the law firm, and she repeatedly expressed her gratitude before getting out of the car.

Watching Qian Linlin's car drive away and disappear on the street, Fang Yi suddenly found that there seemed to be something he had forgotten to say, by the way, when will the remaining 200,000 yuan be given!

A week has passed, Fang Yi sent a WeChat message to Qian Linlin, asking about the lawyer's fees in the later stage, but the other party did not reply. Because there is no agreement, the two sides are gentlemen's agreements, Fang Yi is not good at forcing it, and only hopes that Qian Linlin and his wife can fulfill their promises.

Recently, the business of Justice Law Firm has been booming, and the legal aid cases are basically divided equally between Chu Huai and Zhao Zhongzhong. The case of Sun Zhengyi of the orthopedic department of the county hospital was handed over to Chu Huai, although Chu Huai's business ability is average, but the interpersonal relationship is very good, and he soon took a few cases, although the subject matter of the case is relatively small, and the lawyer's fee cannot be charged a few dollars, but he can't eat meat, and he finally drank some soup, which is still okay.

Fang Yi has been busy with his own cases recently, and Sun Zhengyi has assigned him fewer cases, and more is responsible for receiving legal advice from clients and consultants who come to his door. In this way, there are many fewer opportunities to sign orders, but people can't be idle, answering the phone or going to the legal counsel unit all day long.

On this day, Sister Lan asked Fang Yi to have dinner at Taiyueju, the most famous restaurant in the county, after work, and Fang Yi happily went, thinking about mentioning Qian Linlin's follow-up legal fees to Sister Lan.

In the private room, there were only Sister Lan and Fang Yi, and after ordering, Fang Yi saw that Sister Lan was still hesitant and wanted to speak, and he had an ominous premonition in his heart.

"Brother, it wasn't me who asked you out this time, it was Qian Linlin and the two of them. But she felt that she didn't have the face to see you, so she entrusted me to talk to you about the follow-up lawyer's fees. Sister Lan's face was a little unnatural, and the decisive and experienced strong woman suddenly became so indecisive, which made Fang Yi more sure of the guess in his heart.

"Sister Lan, does Ms. Qian think it's too much to give 200,000 lawyers, it doesn't matter, if she thinks it's too much, she can open a number and discuss it." Although Fang Yi was unhappy in his heart, but the matter was done, and the two sides were a gentleman's covenant, no matter how much it was, it was better than nothing, maybe this is the feeling of dying on the ground.

Qian Linlin didn't mean that, her family has been in trouble recently. I want to slow down and then pay you the follow-up fee. Sister Lan said.

"Got in trouble? Could it be that Lianda Company is suing his husband again? Fang Yi thought for a while.

"More troublesome than this, her husband borrowed a lot of money outside in order to do a new residential project. There are about more than 2 million, and now the other party comes to ask for the account, her family can't come up with the money, and the people sue her husband, and the company's accounts and personal accounts are all blocked.

Her family's car was also taken away to offset the bill. I am not satisfied with you that her house is ready to be sold, and the two of them have now moved to Linlin's parents' house. Sister Lan said.
