"Well, thank you, thank you." Yuan Qingxiu understood that this was Fang Yi helping herself, she had asked other law firms before, and the lawyer's fee was at least 20,000 yuan, and 20,000 yuan was not a decimal for the current Feng family.

"By the way, you just said that everyone in the vegetable market knows about your family, can you ask the merchants in the vegetable market to write a certificate to your husband Feng Yongtong to explain the cause and effect of the incident?" Fang Yi asked.

If there is a third party to prove the circumstances at the time of the case, it will be easier for the judge to understand the facts of the case, and the fault of both parties will be considered when sentencing.

"Well, I'll go back and ask." Yuan Qingxiu nodded.

After the paralegal assisted Yuan Qingxiu in completing the entrustment procedures, Fang Yi began to make appointments for meetings with the detention center and the court to read the case file, and got busy.

"Lawyer Fang, this case involves homicide, why do you only charge a few thousand yuan?" When Wu Qinghui followed Fang Yi downstairs, he asked in a curious low voice.

"The client's family is not wealthy, and this case is likely to be sentenced to death, so we don't have much room to play, so there is no need to charge too much lawyer's fees. If you can help, it's not easy. After speaking, Fang Yi walked towards the office.

Wu Qinghui was stunned, stopped his steps, frowned and said secretly: Shouldn't lawyers be cold-blooded? With only money in his eyes, he does everything possible to maximize his own interests, isn't it?

He looked at Fang Yi's back, and suddenly felt that he was not the same as the image of the lawyer he imagined, what was the difference, he couldn't tell, maybe it was the temperature. This lawyer is not too cold!

The next day, Fang Yi went to the detention center to meet with Feng Yongtong. At this time, Feng Yongtong's hair was like withered grass, his eye sockets were collapsed, the dark bags under his eyes were obvious, and the whole person looked decadent, giving people a feeling of breaking a jar and falling.

A man in his thirties has already half of his gray hair. It can be seen that Feng Yongtong's psychological pressure is not ordinary.

"This stupid girl, I'm a mortal person, what kind of lawyer do you want to hire for me, spend money in vain." After Feng Yongtong learned that Fang Yi was a lawyer hired by his wife, not a legal aid lawyer, he sighed and scolded.

"Actually, you still have a chance, there's no need to think so." Fang Yi said lightly.

He understood Feng Yongtong's thoughts at this time, nothing more than wanting to save some money for his family, and at the same time, he no longer had any hope for his case.

"Opportunity? Killed one, seriously injured another, I heard the people inside say that in my case, 99 percent of the death penalty is imposed. There is no chance at all. Feng Yongtong looked at Fang Yi and laughed at himself.

"Whether there is a chance depends on the judge's determination, and what others say doesn't count. If you give up on yourself completely, God won't be able to save you when he comes. Tell me about the situation before and after the incident, I need to know the details. Fang Yi said lightly.

Feng Yongtong nodded and recounted the previous incident, and what he said about the incident was basically the same as what Fang Yi had heard before.

"That's what you said to the police and the procuratorate?" Fang Yi asked.

"Well, yes." Feng Yong Channel.

Fang Yi left the detention center, and as soon as he arrived at the detention center, Feng Yongtong's wife, Yuan Qingxiu, called him.

"Lawyer Fang, I asked the surrounding merchants, and they were all willing to give my husband a certificate. In addition, the management department of our village and the vegetable market is also willing to issue a document asking the court to punish my husband lightly......" Yuan Qingxiu's voice was full of tears, I don't know if it was moved or sad.

"Okay, you just let them write realistically, I will go to the court in the afternoon to read the file, after reading the file, I will give you the judge's name, and you ask everyone to mail the supporting materials and documents directly to the judge by courier." Fang Yi said.

"Okay, I'll do it right away. Lawyer Fang, have you seen my husband today? Yuan Qingxiu asked.

"I saw it, and the others were fine. He asked me to tell you to live a good life and take care of the elderly and children at home. Fang Yi said.

Fang Yi said this, but he didn't know the bottom in his heart, and he didn't know if Yuan Qingxiu could survive it. As the saying goes: husband and wife are birds of the same forest, and they fly separately when disaster comes. In reality, there are too many couples who can enjoy happiness together, but cannot share hardships together!

Feng Yongtong's case is a major case, one death and one serious injury, and the defendant may be sentenced to death, so the competent court is the intermediate court, not the basic court. The Intermediate People's Court had relatively few cases and quickly arranged a court session.

On this day, Fang Yi was drafting defense opinions for Feng Yongtong's case, and Wu Qinghui ran in.

"Something?" Fang Yi looked up at him and asked.

"Lawyer Fang, can you take me with you when the murder case you took is in session?" Wu Qinghui asked hesitantly.

"You want to sit in on it?" Fang Yi leaned back in his chair and looked at Wu Qinghui, not knowing if he wanted to hear the story, or if he wanted to go to the courtroom to feel the atmosphere, or if he had other ideas.

"Ahh I really want to hear about it. Wu Qinghui nodded sincerely.

"Okay, no problem. I'll call you when I go. Fang Yi smiled, ready to continue writing defense opinions, but suddenly found that Wu Qinghui had no intention of leaving, so he asked, "Is there anything else?" ”

"What's that...... Did Mr. Zhou look for you? Wu Qinghui asked slightly embarrassed.

"Lawyer Zhou? No, what's wrong? Fang Yi was confused, not knowing what he meant.

"I heard that Lawyer Zhou also wanted to go to the hearing." Wu Qinghui's eyes lit up.

"Really? She may be too busy to come over. Fang Yi thought for a moment and smiled.

"Hmm." Wu Qinghui nodded, then turned around and left the office.

A week later, the trial of Feng Yongtong's intentional homicide opened. In addition to Yuan Qingxiu, Zhou Ying and Wu Qinghui, who came to observe, there were also many merchants in the vegetable market and villagers in Feng Yongtong Village.

“…… This court held that defendant Feng Yongtong's wife Yuan Qingxiu had a dispute with the victim Nie Xiaoqin over the sale of mutton, and then Feng Yongtong and Ma Wanping had a conflict, and that the defendant Feng Yongtong took revenge on the victims Ma Wanping and Nie Xiaoqin by depriving others of their lives, and that his methods were cruel, the circumstances were heinous, and the consequences were particularly serious, and should be severely punished in accordance with law.

Defendant Feng Yongtong's conduct violated article 232 of the Criminal Law of the People's Republic of China, the facts of the crime are clear, the evidence is credible and sufficient, and criminal responsibility should be pursued for the crime of intentional homicide. 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. After reading the indictment, the female prosecutor in her thirties looked at the presiding judge.

The presiding judge is a female judge in her forties, with short hair at the ear, and she looks very capable.

"Defendant Feng Yongtong, 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 against you in the indictment? The presiding judge looked at Feng Yongtong, who was in the defendant's dock with a numb expression, and asked.

"I hear you. I have no objection. Feng Yongtong nodded and replied.
