"Yes, then sign for 20,000 yuan first." Xing Ping felt that it was feasible when she heard it, if lawyer Fang thought that her son Xiangdong really did not constitute a crime, it would be worth spending another 40,000 yuan to ask lawyer Fang to defend it, anyway, it was better than a one-time payment.

Although the lawyers in the county and the city also said this, Xing Ping felt that those people were not as famous, as successful as the middle-aged lawyers in front of them, with many successful cases and eyes. The most important thing is that those people are all fixed prices and cannot be paid in installments, Xing Ping feels that she has no bottom in her heart.

After a while, Zhou Ying came to the conference room with the entrustment procedures and assisted Xing Ping in handling the entrustment procedures. After receiving the money, he had to work, so Fang Yi hurriedly contacted the detention center in the county below BD City to make an appointment for a meeting. Then he communicated with the inspector about the marking of the case file and was busy until the end of work.

A day later, Fang Yi met Xiang Dong in the detention center, Xiang Dong was in his twenties, with an inch head, a thin body, and a relatively decent appearance. The facts of the case that Xiang Dong said were very different from what his mother said.

"Do you know the charges that the prosecutor's office has charged you?" Fang Yi asked.

"I know, the crime of illegal business operation and the crime of buying and selling documents of state organs." After speaking, Xiang Dong asked with a puzzled face: "Lawyer Fang, my original intention was to only buy my uncle's Internet café, the licenses are all within the validity period, I have not operated illegally, nor have I bought or sold state agency certificates, do you say that I constitute a crime?" ”

"Judging from what you just said, it should not be enough to reach the crime of illegal business operation and the crime of buying and selling documents of state organs. Your behavior is just a general business transfer, but you and your second uncle have not gone through the procedures for changing the business.

I will go to the procuratorate in the afternoon to read the case file, and after reading the case file, I will draw up a final defense plan, and if your mother entrusts me as your defender, I will come to see you again and tell you the final defense plan. Fang Yi said.

After leaving the detention center, Fang Yi ate a famous meal of donkey meat in the local area, and went to the county procuratorate to read the file after a short break at noon. Fang Yi discussed the case with Prosecutor Zhou, who was in charge of the case, but found that the male prosecutor with glasses in front of him didn't want to listen to his opinion at all, and urged Fang Yi to leave as soon as possible without saying a word.

After coming out of the procuratorate, Fang Yi met Xiang Yaqiang's defense lawyer Lawyer Zhao under the recommendation of Xing Ping, lawyer Zhao practiced in a law firm in BD City, looked like he was in his thirties, and said that he was mainly focusing on criminal cases, but after chatting, he realized that Lawyer Zhao did everything in every case, as long as he could make money, he would not refuse.

Moreover, in the process of communicating and exchanging cases, Fang Yi found that it seemed that Lawyer Zhao was not very good at criminal cases, but he was very interested in marriage and family cases.

After the two parties left their contact information, Fang Yi left Baoding by train.

Three days later, Xing Ping came to the law firm again, and after listening to the defense plan, she knew that Fang Yi was going to give her son a not-guilty defense, so she felt confident, and went through the procedures for entrusting a defense and paid the lawyer's fee.

Fang Yi learned from Xing Ping's mouth that Xiang Dong's case had been transferred to the county court. Fang Yi decided to go to the court again in a few days to read the case file to see what was in the case file transferred by the procuratorate and whether there was any discrepancy with the previous case file. In addition, he needs to go to the detention center again to meet with Xiang Dong and explain his defense plan clearly.

Just two days before the trial, Xiang Yaqiang's defense lawyer, lawyer Zhao, called Fang Yi, wanting to communicate the defense plan of the case before the trial and asked for a copy of Xiang Dong's defense opinions.

Although it was the same case, the public prosecution charged Xiang Dong with the crime of illegal business operation and the crime of buying and selling documents of state organs; However, the crime against Xiang Yaqiang is only the crime of buying and selling documents of state organs.

The two uncles and nephews were not prosecuted on the same charges, and there was no problem with the defense plan under communication, but Lawyer Zhao came up to ask for defense opinions, which was unacceptable to Fang Yi.

Defense opinions are the fruits of lawyers' labor and the crystallization of lawyers' wisdom. Fang Yi and Lawyer Zhao have only met once, and they are not familiar with each other, so how can they easily show him.

Fang Yi pondered while answering the phone: Why do you have to give you the defense opinions as soon as Lawyer Zhao speaks. What if you get my defense opinion, revise it, and use it to fool the parties, and think that I plagiarized your defense opinions if you don't understand the situation to your family.

After thinking about it, in the end, Fang Yi still didn't give it to Lawyer Zhao.

In fact, Lawyer Zhao really thinks so, Xiang family has been looking for Lawyer Zhao to see defense opinions in the past few days, but Lawyer Zhao has been busy with a divorce case for a while, because the lawyer's agency fee in the divorce case is relatively high, so he has put all his energy into the divorce case, and only the trainee lawyer who followed him is following up on Xiang's criminal case.

When Fang Yi introduced the defense plan to Xing Ping before, he said it in detail, so Xing Ping trusted Fang Yi very much, and did not ask to see the defense opinions, and felt that it was not necessary.

When they returned home and communicated with each other, Xiang Er's daughter-in-law felt that the lawyer Zhao she invited seemed to only say that she would defend her innocence and let her go home and wait for the letter, and she didn't say anything else.

Among the two lawyers, it is difficult to say that the lawyer's professional level is high, but the lawyer's work attitude is more serious, more responsible, and immediately clear. So he called the second daughter-in-law and asked Lawyer Zhao to give him a defense opinion, but Lawyer Zhao had to prevaricate.

In the past few days, he was in a hurry, and Lawyer Zhao was not very satisfied with what the trainee lawyer wrote, so he came up with the idea of borrowing a chicken to lay eggs, wanting to see Fang Yi's defense opinions first, and then change the version to Xiang's family, but Fang Yi politely refused. Although Mr. Zhao was unhappy, he couldn't say anything, after all, he was not his trainee lawyer, so he had to revise the version drafted by the trainee lawyer and send it to his family.

On the day of the trial, Fang Yi and Lawyer Zhao were both sitting on the defense bench, and Lawyer Zhao was very unhappy with Fang Yi by looking at the defense opinions. What made him even more unhappy was that he only charged 20,000 yuan in lawyer fees for providing defense to Yaqiang, while Fang Yi charged 60,000 yuan in lawyer fees for providing defense to Xiangdong, three times! He couldn't help but sigh in his heart: It's still a foreign monk who can chant scriptures!

Lawyer Zhao was very unconvinced: Isn't there one more crime? Just charge so much more. It's all two shoulders and one head, why do you charge so many lawyer fees? Hum! It's not an embroidered pillow, with a fancy packaging on the outside and grass inside.

Fang Yi was preparing the documents for the trial on the defense bench, and he didn't care what Lawyer Zhao thought.

After so many years, Fang Yi also understood that in life, you should live for yourself and your family, don't care too much about other people's eyes, and don't think too much, because ...... What others think really has nothing to do with themselves, unless they can bring you financial benefits.

There were not many people in the auditorium, most of them were Xiang family, and everyone was whispering, waiting for the court to begin.
