Lawyer

Chapter 23
After finishing the work in hand, Xiao Zhou walked up to Fang Yi and asked in puzzlement: "Lawyer Fang, why bother to file a complaint when you can obviously go through the litigation procedure and ask the other party to pay labor remuneration? We have to get the money, and maybe in the end we have to go to court to sue."

Fang Yi smiled slightly: "If you go through the litigation process, the first trial plus the second trial, and then apply for compulsory enforcement, how long do you think it will take to finish? Will you definitely get the money?"

"It's hard to say. It will take at least a few months to go through the litigation process. If there are many court cases and it takes a while, even if you get the money, it will take a year or a half." Xiao Zhou thought for a while and said: "But the complaint is not It must be useful!"

"Although the effect of the complaint may not be good, if it depends on a criminal case, this matter will be easier to handle. There is a crime of refusing to pay labor remuneration in the criminal law, do you know?" Fang Yi smiled.

"Well, I understand. If the crime of refusing to pay labor remuneration can be filed, it is indeed much better than going through a civil lawsuit." Xiao Zhou said thoughtfully.

"That's why the parties involved in many cases want to turn their cases to criminal cases. Criminal cases involve personal freedom, so they have a strong deterrent effect and are naturally effective.

Alright, after running for a day, you should go back early.I have to trouble you to write the reports and forms for the Bureau of Justice later. "Fang Yi laughed.

"That's easy. I've written a lot before. Then I'll go back first! Goodbye, Director! Goodbye, Lawyer Fang!" After speaking, Xiao Zhou left the law firm with a bounce.

Sun Zhengyi walked over with a purple teapot in his hand, smiling: "Xiao Fang, you should go back and rest earlier. The case can't be finished in one day."

He likes this tone very much. The lawyers under him work overtime and work hard, while he shows a sympathetic gesture for his subordinates, hello, hello, hello, everyone, how harmonious, this picture can greatly satisfy his vanity.

"It's okay, director, you can go first, I'll check the information, and I'll go back later." Fang Yi smiled.

Sun Zhengyi nodded. He has not felt this way for many years. I remember that the last time this kind of tone appeared in the law firm was two years ago. At that time, there was a lawyer surnamed Wang who worked very hard. Zhong Zhong and Chu Huai were run away.

The next afternoon, the Chu family.

Mr. Chu was sitting on the sofa, his eyes were dull, and he kept squinting and smoking a cigarette.The old lady sat aside, fanned the second-hand smoke vigorously with a fan, and moved aside.

"Smoking, you know how to smoke. Look at the walls that are turning yellow. It's all because of your smoking." The old lady looked at Mr. Chu with a look of disgust.

Chu Hong sat on the chair, turned her face away, not looking at her parents, the atmosphere in the room was not harmonious.

Seeing that Mr. Chu didn't speak, the old lady was anxious: "Honghong, your father is doing it for your own good. After all, you and Zhong Wen are also husband and wife, and you haven't officially divorced..."

"The court's verdict has been handed down, why is it not considered a formal divorce?" Chu Hong turned her face, and before her mother could finish speaking, she snarled.

"I mean, how can you say that you have been together for so many years, really, you just want to watch him go to jail?" the old lady stared at Chu Hong and said.

"That's what he asked for." Chu Hong bit her lip and said.

"If your wife sues your husband for rape, you won't be afraid of being laughed at by the neighbors. Listen to me and write a letter of understanding and send it to Zhong's family. If you don't feel ashamed, I'll send it to you.

This person who bows his head but does not see him when he looks up, stay a line so that we can meet in the future. "Old Master Chu took the cigarette from his mouth, raised his head, and said earnestly.

Chu Hong stared at her parents and looked up and down, making Mr. Chu feel uncomfortable, and the old lady turned her face away and said nothing.

"Have you benefited from the Zhong family?" Chu Hong asked suddenly.

"No! How is it possible..." The old lady, who was used to being domineering on weekdays, suddenly felt a little speechless and tried her best to hide the panic in her heart, but Chu Hong still saw the problem.

"Mom, Dad, I can listen to you for everything else. I have to make my own decisions this time, so don't worry about it." After finishing speaking, Chu Hong got up and walked to her room.

She knows what kind of people her parents are, and she doesn't want her parents to accept the benefits of the Zhong family from the bottom of her heart, but the look in her mother's eyes just now made her sure and certain that her parents must have reached some kind of deal with the Zhong family, and the letter of understanding is a deal Otherwise, I would not be forced to write a letter of understanding by my parents as soon as I entered the door.

"Honghong, we are doing this for your own good..." Before the old lady could finish speaking, there was a heavy slam of the door.

"Look at her, what kind of attitude is this! Just expect her to take care of us for the elderly?" Mr. Chu was furious.

"Okay, let's not say a few words, first add up how to tell Attorney Fang." The old lady was thinking about the 10 yuan, and her mind was in a mess.

Just then, the phone rang at home.

"Hey...Lawyer Fang, what... The Zhong family agreed, okay, you wait for our good news. Okay, as soon as possible!" The old lady covered the microphone with her hand and whispered.

After finishing speaking, she hung up the phone, frowned and looked at Mr. Chu, and said in a low voice, "Look, people are starting to rush you."

In the morning, Fang Yi sat in the detention center waiting to meet Zhong Wen.After a while, Zhong Wen was brought over by the police.After not seeing each other for a few days, Zhong Wen lost a lot of weight again, looking a bit decadent.

"Zhong Wen, I've read your case file, and my opinion is to plead you less guilty. Did the prosecutor come to the detention center and talk to you?" Fang Yi said.

"Well, it's a woman surnamed Chen. What does Lawyer Fang mean by defending a lesser crime? I committed a crime?" Zhong Wen stared at Fang Yi and said.

"Judging from the current situation of the case, you have indeed constituted a crime of rape. I hope you can plead guilty, which will benefit the sentencing of your case." Fang Yidao.

"What kind of shitty lawyer are you! How can you say such a thing, I am not innocent! Why should I plead guilty. You have to defend me. You must be innocent." Zhong Wen suddenly seemed a little excited.

Fang Yi's face was relatively calm, and he didn't run away on the spot because of Zhong Wen's words: "I can only provide you with legal services based on the facts of the case, and the best solution is to defend against minor crimes.

If you insist on pleading not guilty, the final sentence waiting for you may be three to ten years in prison. Of course, I will try my best to defend you, but I can only provide you with a lesser defense, not an innocence defense. "

"Bullshit! What kind of shitty lawyer are you? I want to change my lawyer." Zhong Wen growled hysterically.The policeman on the side came over and yelled at him.

"Think about it carefully. You want to change your lawyer. I respect your opinion. I will come again before the trial." Fang Yi got up and ended the meeting.

Walking out of the detention center, Fang Yi did not leave immediately, but lit a cigarette, took a deep breath and then exhaled slowly, the smoke dispersed.
