Chapter 586: Black Eats Black
"Thanks. I have time to drink tea at Yunwu Tea House.
By the way, I have to thank you for introducing Mr. Wan to me, and he has been buying tea from our tea house a lot during this time. Is there a teahouse in his house? Yunmei asked with a smile, her eyes filled with a hint of doubt.
"This ...... I really don't know. Fang Yi deliberately pretended to be stupid.
He can't tell Yunmei that the fat old man should engage in the activity of "watching the tea art and giving away tea" in order to pull the lawyers in the team to appreciate his tea art. What a shame!
Early the next morning, as soon as Fang Yi arrived at the office, the phone rang, and it was from Zhou Shen, the senior brother who had not seen him for a long time.
"Senior brother, how are you doing?" Zhou Shen asked.
Fang Yi could tell from his tone that he was in a good mood.
"Fortunately, senior brother, how is your law firm doing?" Fang Yi asked.
"Last year, I bought an old law firm that has been in operation for more than 10 years, and after a period of operation, it is now basically on the right track.
Some time ago, I wanted to contact you, but the law firm had a lot of things, and Defa Group launched a new project, which was delayed. Zhou Shen said.
"I know you're busy, so I haven't dared to call you, you're a capable person who works hard, just wait until it's stable." Fang Yi said with a smile.
"Your reputation is getting bigger and bigger now, I know your name in the capital, how is it, when will you come to work under our guidance?" Zhou Shen joked.
"Senior brother, don't make fun of me. I have also taken on criminal cases in these two moments, which is far worse than the barristers in the capital. Fang Yi said with a smile.
"Humility! It's not good to be a lawyer who is too modest. I have something to ask you for help with. Zhou Shen said.
"What's the matter?" Fang Yi was stunned and asked.
Fang Yi pondered, Senior Brother Zhou Shen asked him for help, it was estimated that nine times out of ten it was a matter of criminal business, and besides, he really couldn't think of where he could help Zhou Shen.
"Our law firm's team has just been established, mainly non-litigation, litigation lawyers are mostly commercial contract disputes, and there are few criminal lawyers, and the level is average.
Recently, our law firm received a criminal case, which was introduced by an old client, and you also know that it is not easy to develop resources.
Several lawyers in the firm have different opinions after analyzing the case, and you have a lot of experience in criminal matters, so I would like to ask you to come and listen to it and give me a suggestion.
But I have to make it clear to you in advance, you belong to a friendly cameo, there is no fee, only a red envelope. Zhou Shen said with a smile.
"That's what a lot of money hurts! You say, let me go over when, I'll listen to your arrangement. Fang Yi patted his chest and said.
"Okay, you're still interested in junior brother. Do you have any arrangements for tomorrow? If there is no arrangement, I will have someone book you a ticket. After a while, I will ask the assistant to send you the case to your mailbox, and you can take a look at it first. Zhou Shen said.
"Okay, but I have a small request, the day is over, I am afraid that the child will be left alone, and I will not be at ease at home alone." Fang Yi said.
"No problem. How about I ask my assistant to set you a train at 8 o'clock in the morning and then go back at 3 o'clock in the afternoon? Zhou Shen said.
"Oh. I'll send you the identification information in a moment. After Fang Yi finished speaking, he hung up the phone.
Early the next morning, after Fang Yi sent Xiaozhi to school, he went straight to the train station and took the high-speed train to the north.
Zhou Shen's law firm is in the office building of Defa Group, close to the subway, with more than 1,000 square meters, high-end decoration and high-grade atmosphere, and the lawyers who come out and go in are very formal.
After listening to Zhou Shen's introduction, Fang Yi learned that there are now more than 40 people in the entire law firm, except for the partners, all of them are paid according to the salary system, because they are mainly non-litigation business, so 80% of the lawyers in the firm are non-litigation lawyers, and the remaining litigation lawyers are also allocated according to the business ratio.
There are a total of three male lawyers in the criminal department, one surnamed Zhao, who is in his 50s, is said to have retired from the procuratorate of a certain southern province and has been working as a lawyer in Beijing for two or three years.
Because it comes out of the system, lawyer Zhao naturally has a trace of the temperament in the system, and can be regarded as an "authority" in the criminal field of the firm.
The other two are criminal lawyers who have been practicing for three or four years, one surnamed Wang and the other surnamed Sun, who were dug by Zhou Shen from his original law firm, and there is no problem in dealing with ordinary criminal cases, but it is almost boring to encounter complex criminal cases.
These two lawyers give people the feeling that they are a bit like drivers who have been driving a car for a year or two after getting the car book, and there is a great momentum of "I have the legal certificate in hand, and I have it in the world".
After understanding the general situation in the office, Fang Yi followed Zhou Shen to the conference room.
In the spacious and bright conference room, there were six people, Zhou Shen, a young and beautiful female assistant, three criminal lawyers from the team and Fang Yi.
"Let me introduce to you first, this is my junior brother, lawyer Fang Yi. Two of the five cases you looked for before were criminal cases that he had handled in the past two years.
Lawyer Fang has been practicing in other provinces, and this time I invited him to analyze the criminal cases we undertook before. Zhou Shen introduced.
After the words fell, there was a relatively warm applause in the conference room.
Although it is said that "there is no first", the problem of being light to the literati is also very prevalent in the lawyer circle, but the money presses the slave behind his back, and the art presses the pedestrian, and everyone in the conference room is a person in the legal circle, and everyone has read the verdict of the previous case handled by Fang Yi, and they still admire his professional ability.
"Let's make a long story short, Lawyer Fang has to rush back in the afternoon, let's start now." Zhou Shen said: "Assistant Zhao, you can introduce the case to everyone." ”
The young and beautiful female assistant pulled her hair, turned on the projector, and began to introduce the case.
The defendant in this case, Gao Qiyuan, conspired with the victim Cao Wenxue to kidnap a wealthy man in Northeast China and extort 5 million yuan (the kidnapping case has been handled in a separate case).
Before the kidnapping was carried out, the defendant Gao Qiyuan and the victim Cao Wenxue agreed that Gao Qiyuan would carry out the kidnapping, and that Cao Wenxue would come forward to demand a ransom from the kidnapper's family, and after receiving the ransom, Cao Wenxue would give Gao Qiyuan 50 percent of the ransom.
After the two succeeded, they fled to the capital to avoid the limelight, and after hiding for a while in the urban village of the DX district in the south of the city, Cao Wenxue saw that the wind was calm, so he had the idea of taking all the ransom money for himself.
After coming out of the urban village, because Cao Xuewen did not share the ransom for a long time, it aroused Gao Qiyuan's strong dissatisfaction, Gao Qiyuan called Cao Wenxue to ask for the ransom he deserved, but Cao Wenxue denied that the wind was too tight, and the money was inconvenient to use, so he asked him to wait.
