"Okay, 30,000 is 30,000. When are we going to sign the contract? Zhao Jiuhe hesitated and asked.

"If you two are free in the afternoon, you can come back to the law firm with me. I asked people to get the formalities ready and sign them directly. Fang Yi said.

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Zhao Jiuhe said.

Two days later, in the morning, the sun after eight o'clock gradually revealed its scorching heat, the sun made the ground hot, and the pedestrians on the road held sun umbrellas, hurriedly, looking forward to entering the office early to blow the air conditioner.

"What the hell, it's so hot in the morning." After Zhou Ying got out of the car, she put the briefcase in her hand on the side of her face, shielded from the scorching sun, and cursed.

"You are content, when I met with the parties, I had to squeeze the bus, I was covered in stinky sweat when it was hot, my face was red from the cold cold, and my fingers couldn't even hold the pen. Now I'm much happier! Fang Yi smiled after getting out of the car.

"Lawyer Fang, I don't mean to complain, don't get me wrong." Zhou Ying hurriedly explained. She was afraid that Fang Yi would feel that she couldn't endure hardship, and she was unwilling to take her out to handle the case in the future.

"Let's go, the door of the detention center is about to open.

In fact, being a lawyer is a very hard profession. How can it be so chic on TV, there are luxury cars, beauties and handsome guys everywhere, if there are really those conditions, who would still be a lawyer, how good it is to be a star, even if you can't be a star, you can earn more than a lawyer by engaging in live broadcasts. Fang Yi chattered as he walked.

"You're right, but no lawyer has a sense of accomplishment, especially a criminal lawyer." Zhou Ying nodded.

"It depends on how to say it, the boss has been a lawyer all his life, if you go back and ask him if he has a sense of accomplishment, he may have been numb a long time ago!" After speaking, Fang Yi smiled and walked towards the gate of the detention center.

"Numb?!" Zhou Ying stopped, thought about it, and didn't quite understand what Fang Yi meant.

In the detention center, Zhao Gang, who was sitting opposite Fang Yi, had short hair, a thin face, and a pair of big eyes, and looked at Fang Yi blankly at this time. His face was crawling with haggardness.

"Zhao Gang, tell me what you told the public security organs and the procuratorate before. Try to be as detailed as possible. Fang Yi said.

"Well, that day I went to pull the muck as usual......" Zhao Gang thought as he recounted the incident.

More than a month ago, Zhao Gang drove a Steyr truck to remove muck from a construction site in the city. After pouring the muck, he drove back to the construction site, and when he turned through an intersection after entering the city, he felt that the body was upside down, but he did not stop, and after driving away, he continued to the construction site to pull the muck.

When he drove out of the construction site with the muck and passed the previous intersection again, he found that many traffic police were investigating the scene. His head buzzed three times and felt bad, so he parked the car on the side of the road and took out his mobile phone to call the captain of the team, saying that he might have hit someone.

It should be said that he felt very accurately, as he drove back to the construction site and turned at the intersection, the Steyr truck he was driving scraped down a man on a bicycle, and the right rear wheel ran over the man's body, killing him instantly. He then went to the traffic management department of the public security and surrendered himself.

According to the District Traffic Detachment of the Municipal Public Security Traffic Management Bureau, Zhao Gang was fully responsible for the accident. After the accident, the leader of the convoy and Zhao Gang's uncle found the victim's family and compensated the other party.

"You felt the car jolt, why didn't you stop?" Fang Yi asked.

"I was in a hurry to go back and haul the muck, we were paid by the car, and I wanted to run a few more laps and make more money. And I really didn't see anything unusual in the rearview mirror at the time, thinking that it was pressing bricks and stones or something, so I didn't care. Zhao Gang said.

"Well, your uncle is very good to you." Fang Yi said.

"Yes. My parents died early, and his family had a daughter, and our Zhao family was the only seedling of me, and my uncle was really good to me, and this job was introduced by my uncle. It's a pity that I don't ...... myself, lawyer Fang, how many years will I be sentenced for this situation? Zhao Gang looked at Fang Yi with a blank look.

"Yesterday we went to the procuratorate to read the case file and communicated with the prosecutor in charge of your case, and the procuratorate believes that you are a hit-and-run and may recommend that the court sentence you to three to seven years in prison.

But after reading the case file, I think that your behavior may not constitute an escape, you didn't know that you hit someone at the time of the crime, and you still have a plot to turn yourself in, and you lost money, so you don't have to worry too much, I will give you a defense of the crime. Fang Yi said.

Zhao Gang nodded.

"Do you have anything you need me to convey to your uncle and your daughter-in-law? Is there enough money in the card? Fang Yi asked.

"There's still money in Kari. Please tell them, I'm fine. Zhao Gang said with a frustrated face.

When Fang Yi and Zhou Ying came out of the detention center, Zhao Gang's uncle Zhao Jiuhe walked over.

"Lawyer Fang, how is the situation?" Zhao Jiuhe asked.

"We talked to Zhao Gang, and I think that Zhao Gang has committed the crime of causing a traffic accident, but whether it constitutes an escape, between the two possibilities, there are doubts, this point may become the focus of our dispute with the procuratorate, and it will also become the key to the court's sentencing.

But fortunately, Zhao Gang surrendered voluntarily, and the victim's family took the money, so Zhao Gang will no longer be investigated for civil liability. The court will take these factors into account when sentencing.

We'll defend him for lesser crimes. Fang Yi said.

"Okay, we don't know much about this, you see, you can do whatever is beneficial to my nephew. I fully cooperate. Zhao Jiuhe said.

"By the way, when we met with the prosecutor yesterday, the prosecutor was preparing to transfer the case file to the court, and it is estimated that it will not be long before the court will arrange a hearing. I'll call you when there's news. Fang Yi said.

A few days later, Fang Yi received a notice from the district court. A week later, in the 12th trial court of the district court, Zhao Gang's traffic accident case was being heard.

"Defendant Zhao Gang, did you hear the indictment read out by the prosecutor just now? What crime are you accused? Do you dispute the facts of the crime charged against you in the indictment? The presiding judge asked with a calm face.

"I heard clearly, I recognized the facts and charges of the crime charged, but I didn't think about escaping, and I hope the court can give a lighter punishment." Zhao Gang said with a flustered expression.

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

"Defendant Zhao Gang, what were you doing on the day of the crime?" The short-haired female prosecutor asked with a cold face.

"I'm driving a Steyr truck to haul muck to a construction site." Zhao Gang said.

"Tell me the route you want to take to transport the muck." The inspector said.

"It is to come out of the construction site of the construction company in the city, go west along the avenue, pass the intersection where the crime occurred, and then ...... north," Zhao Gang said.

"Did you feel something unusual when you turned at an intersection?" The inspector asked.

"I felt like the truck was jolting." Zhao Gang said.
