At half past nine the next morning, as soon as Fang Yi arrived at the law firm, he received a call from Wu Meiqin, who had already gone downstairs.

In the conference room, a young woman with a slightly thin figure, medium height, and good facial features looked at Fang Yi and Zhou Ying opposite.

"Ms. Wu, how did you know that your sister was arrested?" Fang Yi asked.

"My mom called me last night. I said that I had been arrested for more than a week, and that my father had gone to the detention center to see my sister by a lawyer from the county, and the lawyer applied for bail pending trial, but the public security bureau did not approve it. Wu Meiqin looked at Fang Yi with blank eyes.

"What did your sister get arrested for? What crime? Fang Yi asked.

"I said it was kidnapping, but my mother couldn't tell me what the circumstances were. Lawyer Fang, I heard Mr. Yun say that you are an expert in criminal matters, and the lawyer in the county said that my sister may be sentenced to more than ten years......" Before she finished speaking, Wu Meiqin cried anxiously, and said intermittently: "My sister has just graduated and joined the work, she is definitely not that kind of person......"

"Don't worry! Things haven't been figured out yet, so it's uncertain what the court will decide. Even if the crime of kidnapping is really constituted, there is a distinction between the principal offender and the accessory, maybe your sister was coerced, this is not certain. Fang Yigui persuaded.

Wu Meiqin wiped her tears and nodded: "Lawyer Fang, can I entrust my sister's case to you?" ”

"No problem, you can." Fang Yi nodded.

"Look, how much lawyer fee should I give you?" Wu Meiqin looked at Fang Yi with a sincere face.

"The lawyer's fee is 20,000 yuan until the end of the first trial, and if you appeal, the second instance will be charged separately." Fang Yi said.

In his opinion, Wu Meiqin is just a tea artist, working under Yunmei, including food and accommodation for about 3,000 a month, and she can't make much money in a year, and 20,000 yuan in lawyer fees is not low for her.

"Okay, can I sign the contract now? I brought the card. Wu Meiqin immediately agreed.

She has a good relationship with her sister, because the family is poor, in order to work as soon as possible to make money, she went directly to a technical school after graduating from junior high school, saving money for her sister to study, but her sister played abnormally in the college entrance examination and only took an ordinary junior college.

After graduating from junior college last year, because of the average school and difficulty in finding employment, Wu Meiqin's sister submitted her resume everywhere, and finally went to work as a waitress in a hotel.

After completing the entrustment procedures, Wu Meiqin left the law firm, and Zhou Ying began to contact the detention center to meet.

The next afternoon, Fang Yi and Zhou Ying came to the detention center to meet Wu Meiqin's sister Wu Meifeng.

Wu Meifeng looks very similar to her sister, her figure is slightly thin, but she is more delicate, and she looks like a college student who has not been beaten by society. Wu Meifeng's face was haggard, her spirit was very poor, her eyes were a little swollen, she should be crying.

"Wu Meifeng, do you remember the situation at the time of the crime?" Fang Yi asked.

Wu Meifeng shook her head, and looked at Fang Yi with blank eyes: "It was the boss who asked me to find that child, not me, not my ......" She cried bitterly as she said it.

When Fang Yi saw it, he secretly said in his heart: It's broken! She's having a nervous breakdown!

"Lawyer Fang, why don't I try?" Zhou Ying said softly.

Fang Yi nodded, now that the person concerned has collapsed, it will be useless to ask any more, so he can only be a dead horse as a live horse doctor.

Fang Yi and Zhou Ying changed positions, Zhou Ying did not rush to ask questions, but kept reassuring her and leading the topic to her sister. After Wu Meifeng's mood stabilized, Fang Yi began to ask about the case.

More than 20 minutes later, Fang Yi and Zhou Ying walked out of the detention center.

"Lawyer Fang, what should I do? She was able to provide very limited information, saying only that the boss asked her to take the victim into the car, and then the hotel owner drove her and the victim to the basement of the hotel and tied the victim up. Zhou Ying said.

"At present, Wu Meifeng's mental state is not good, and we can't see the case file, when the case file arrives at the procuratorate, let's go to the procuratorate to read the case file." Fang Yi said.

The parties are currently emotionally unstable, their language is unclear, and they cannot accurately describe the facts of the case, and Fang Yi has no choice but to talk about it after reading the file.

On the way back to the law firm, Fang Yi suddenly received a call from Ouyang Jie, who had not seen him for a long time, Ouyang Jie was about to bring a client to the law firm to consult him on legal issues and ask him if it was convenient, Fang Yi made an appointment with him and hung up the phone.

Ouyang Jie in the conference room was wearing a pair of rimless glasses, his hair was combed very neatly, and it was confirmed that it was the most popular hairstyle at the moment, and it was estimated that Mr. Tony had put a lot of thought into it, of course, the price was expensive.

Ouyang Jie, who has not seen him for a long time, is much more mature and stable than before, and he has the energy of a senior professional all over his body, but in the eyes of an expert like Fang Yi, his energy seems a little contrived, but it is enough to fool non-legal people.

"Lawyer Fang, this is Mr. Jin Huapeng from the next city, his son was arrested for intentional homicide, let Mr. Jin tell you the specific situation." Ouyang Jie cleared his throat and said.

"Lawyer Fang, you are good at criminal cases, you have rich experience in criminal matters, and you are an expert, so I would like to consult with you about my son's case." Jin Huapeng said expectantly, his eyes full of exhaustion.

"I don't dare to be an 'expert', when was your son arrested, do you know the specific circumstances of the case?" Fang Yixin said: The reputation of the expert is not good now, I don't carry this pot.

"My son Jin Li was arrested in July last year...... "Jin Huapeng recounted the case.

Jin Huapeng's son's name is Jin Li, a junior college student at a university in the city, he talked about a girlfriend early last year, and then the two couldn't bear the loneliness and moved to an off-campus apartment together.

In July, during the summer vacation of school, he did not go home to work with his girlfriend in a supermarket in the city as a tally clerk.

On the day of the incident, he worked the night shift and his girlfriend worked the day shift. Jinli slept until eight o'clock before getting up. When he got up, he heard movement in the hallway, and looked curiously through the cat's eye.

I saw that the female occupant opposite the door was in a hurry to go out and inadvertently dropped the key on the ground. When he saw that the female tenant was well-dressed, he thought that the other party's family must have money, so he became greedy.

When he saw that there was no one around, he went out of the house and picked up the key that the other party had lost. Then he secretly opened the security door across the door, slipped in, and rummaged around for cash. But after looking for a long time, I only got a total of more than 100 yuan.

When he was rummaging indoors, he inadvertently looked out of the window, only to see that the female resident who had left before had returned on an electric scooter and had already arrived downstairs.

Because he couldn't find a large amount of cash, he was reluctant. Seeing that there was only one person on the other side, Jin Li made up his mind to rob the property after knocking the other party unconscious. So he unlocked the security door, took a large rolling pin and a sharp knife in the kitchen, and hid them behind the door, ready to beat the stick.
