"If I were to defend your daughter, the lawyer's fee would be 50,000 yuan. If you appeal, you will need to pay a separate fee. Fang Yi pondered that the party's family conditions were good, and 50,000 yuan should be acceptable.

"Fifty thousand yuan...... good. Can I sign a contract today? Wu Guodong hesitated and asked.

"No problem. Xiao Zhou, prepare for the next entrustment procedure. After Fang Yi finished speaking, Zhou Ying left the conference room.

"Lawyer Fang, based on your experience, how many years will my daughter be sentenced?" Wu Guodong asked.

"How will the court decide, I can't say, although the circumstances of your daughter's case are more serious, but there is a reason, and the victim is at fault in the first ......, considering that your daughter has been detained for more than two months, and now the case file is still being reviewed and prosecuted by the procuratorate, I am ready to recommend that the court sentence your daughter to five months of criminal detention." Fang Yi said.

"Why five months, three months?" If possible, Wu Guodong wants his daughter to come out now.

Wu Guodong had also tried to ask the lawyer to apply for bail pending trial, but the public security organs and the procuratorate did not approve it.

"You see that Wu Shanshan has been imprisoned for more than two months, and now the case has not yet reached the court, and three months is not enough time for the court to go through the procedure, how can it be sentenced like this. The five months I mentioned is also an estimate, and the recommended sentence may have to be adjusted later depending on the length of the court's trial.

When we recommend the sentence, we must take into account the trial time of the court, otherwise it will not be effective, but will make the judge feel that we are vexatious, which is not conducive to the sentencing of the case. Fang Yi explained.

"Oh, I see, you're still professional. I listen to you. Wu Guodong said.

After a while, Zhou Ying walked into the conference room with the entrustment procedures, assisted Wu Guodong in handling the entrustment procedures, and paid the lawyer's fees.

On the second day after Wu Guodong signed the entrustment formalities, Wu Shanshan's case was transferred to the court, and the county court soon arranged a court time.

According to Fang Yi's operating habits, he went to the detention center again before the trial and met Wu Shanshan.

The county court arranged the trial time of Wu Shanshan's case at 2 o'clock in the afternoon, and at noon, Wu Guodong invited Fang Yi and Zhou Ying to eat in a restaurant in the county, and chatted about the situation of the case for a while.

At the beginning of the trial, only the Wu family sat in the auditorium, and the Zheng family did not come, nor did the victim.

It may be that the pressure of being locked up in it is relatively high, and Wu Shanshan in the dock is not in good spirits, her hair is a little messy, and her expression looks a little nervous.

“…… This court finds that the defendant Wu Shanshan illegally deprived the victim of his personal liberty by beating and tying up, the circumstances were serious, his conduct had violated the provisions of article 238 of the Criminal Law of the People's Republic of China, the facts of the crime were clear, the evidence was credible and sufficient, and he should be pursued for criminal responsibility for the crime of illegal detention.

In view of the fact that the defendant Wu Shanshan had insulting circumstances during the period of illegal detention of the victim and should be given a heavier punishment, it is recommended that the defendant Wu Shanshan be sentenced to three years imprisonment. In accordance with the provisions of article 176 of the Criminal Procedure Law of the People's Republic of China, a public prosecution is initiated, and a sentence is requested in accordance with law. The indictment has been read out. A male prosecutor in his forties said.

"Defendant Wu Shanshan, did you hear clearly the indictment read out by the prosecutor just now? Do you have any objections to the facts and charges of the crime charged in the indictment? The presiding judge asked.

"I have no objection to the facts of the crime, but I do not recognize the charges. I admit that I tied the woman with a rope, but it was only about an hour before and after she was let go by the neighbors. I didn't detain her. Wu Shanshan argued.

"The prosecutor may interrogate the defendant about the facts of the crime charged in the indictment." The presiding judge said.

"Okay, Presiding Judge." The prosecutor's cold eyes fell on Wu Shanshan's body: "Defendant Wu Shanshan, do you know the victim?" ”

"I don't know." Wu Shanshan said.

"What did you see when you got home on the night of the crime?" The inspector asked.

"I saw that woman was ...... in my bed with my husband," Wu Shanshan said, biting her lip.

"What did you do?" The inspector asked.

"I took the picture, and then my husband approached me and was kicked down by me, and then he jumped out of the window and ran away. After that, I dragged the woman by the hair, dragged her to the living room, and tied her up......" Wu Shanshan said as she bit her back molars.

"Where did the rope that bind the victim come from?" The inspector asked.

"I bought it from the grocery store." Wu Shanshan said.

"What was the state of the victim when you tied her up? Wearing clothes? The inspector asked.

"No clothes." Wu Shanshan said.

"Why did you tie her up?" The inspector said.

"Because she is shameless and seduces my husband, I want to humiliate her and make her faceless." Wu Shanshan said.

"What did you do to the victim other than tying up?" The inspector asked.

"I pumped her a few times and didn't do anything else." Wu Shanshan said.

"Who was in your house at the time?" The inspector asked.

"At first it was just the three of us, but then the neighbors heard the shouting and came and knocked on the door, and I let them in. Later, the director of the neighborhood committee also came. Wu Shanshan said.

"How many people are there?" The inspector asked.

"There were about eight or nine people, and I didn't pay much attention to it at the time." Wu Shanshan said.

"Are these people women, or are there men and women?" The inspector asked.

"There are men and women, they are neighbors." Wu Shanshan said.

"Presiding Judge, we're done." The inspector said.

The prosecutor asked all the facts, but deliberately downplayed the cause of the case, and did not ask why the victim was in bed at Wu Shanshan's house.

"Does the defendant Wu Shanshan's defender need to ask questions to the defendant?" The presiding judge looked at Fang Yi.

"Questions." Fang Yi said: "Defendant Wu Shanshan, do you know what the relationship between the victim and your husband is? ”

"I know, she's my husband's junior." Wu Shanshan's eyes showed a hint of resentment.

"How do you know?" Fang Yi asked.

"In the past six months, I felt that my husband's behavior was a little abnormal, so I conducted a secret investigation." Wu Shanshan said.

"How did you know they were going to your house on the night of the crime?" Fang Yi asked.

"I didn't know, I was waiting at the gate of the community when I saw my husband driving her home, and then I followed." Wu Shanshan said.

"What is your purpose in kidnapping the victim?" Fang Yi asked.

"It's very simple, just to catch the adulterer, I want to humiliate the woman." Wu Shanshan said.

"How long did it take from the time you tied the victim to the time when everyone untied the rope on the victim?" Fang Yi asked.

"It's not a long time, it's probably more than an hour, I can't remember exactly." Wu Shanshan said.

"Presiding judge, the defender has finished asking." Fang Yi said.
